The KOG is in dire need of "FATHERS" whom the entire earth travails for the revelation of these sons to take their rightful place as leaders in our homes, families, communities and governments (Romans 8).
These spirit-filled Fathers are fearless to the desperation of this world and its opposition to the things of God. Their presence evokes trembling to the spirit of darkness and their authority creates power and glory for God's people in the marketplace. The spirit of Elijah manifests "Fatherhood." It represents peace, love and joy in the Holy Spirit; it fosters the mindset of the Fathers turning their hearts to their children (not only their biological children...but ALL CHILDREN!) You cannot "take the city" without the MEN (Fathers)!
The Body of Christ requires men who have an intense desire to be made disciples and, in turn, make more disciples. This same spirit is rooted and grounded in "duplication" whereby the individual must replicate Christ in the earth; His Way, His Truth and His Life! Elijah represents the "ancient path" (foundation, structure, reverence) of God's original intent for His sons and daughters. The ancient path of Elijah will place the "heart of a Father" in ALL MEN! The ancient path will always honor the "Order of God" and will create an obsession with building stronger families.
Abraham's response to his "call to Fatherhood" claimed the Lord God, not only for his household but, for ALL NATIONS to this very day and forever! The "generational transfer" of faith, love and hope from fathers to their children sustains the power, presence and peace of God in the life of a Believer.
Elijah as an OT patriarch is an effective model because of his relationship with his son Elisha who, not only "walked with God" but did twice as much as his father did to advance the KOG. Elijah is also a "type and shadow" of Christ!
The Spirit of Elijah is simply a "portrait" of a Father who knows how to love his sons..."
