Valley of Decision

1 Kings 18:20-22 (Contemporary English Version)
Ahab got everyone together, then they went to meet Elijah on Mount Carmel. Elijah stood in front of them and said, "How much longer will you try to have things both ways? If the LORD is God, worship him! But if Baal is God, worship him!"


A quality decision is one that is made but once. With regard to the Valley of Jehoshaphat, choose you this day to:

1. Surrender your will to the will of God
2. Praise God in every circumstance
3. Love and study the Scriptures
4. Forgive everyone for everything
5. Submit to the King and His Kingdom

God has reconciled us to Himself by Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation. 2 Cor 5:18-20

His royal priesthood, the king-priest ministry out of Zion, presently stands in the earth and "pleads" with men to be reconciled to God.

This present or future Kingdom operation of reconciliation, in the Valley of Decision means lights out for the "old order" (Joel 2:10,31) the abolishing of the old administration, the old mindset, the old way of thinking and living. (Luke 21:25; Rev. 8:12)

God's restoration saw its vindication in the valley. Once this is accomplished, the Lord will dwell with us in complete victory - his permanent dwelling - the Bride of Christ!
