God Sends Fire

Name Date

Read the Story

There had been no rain for three years. Elijah met King Ahab. He told Ahab to bring the prophets of Baal to Mount Carmel.

Each side made an offering. The prophets of Baal called to Baal all day. No one answered. Then Elijah fixed God's altar. He had them pour water on it three times. Elijah prayed. Fire came down from God! It burned up everything, even the water.

The people fell on their faces. They said the Lord is God! Elijah prayed for rain. A small cloud came up. Then the sky grew dark, and a big rain came.

Memory Verse

When all the people saw it, they fell on their faces. They said, “Yahweh, he is God! Yahweh, he is God!”

1 Kings 18:39 (WEB)
