Elijah climbed to the top of Carmel, bent down to the ground and put his face between his knees

 1 Kings 18:41-19:2

And Elijah said to Ahab, “Go, eat and drink, for there is the sound of a heavy rain.”  So Ahab went off to eat and drink, but Elijah climbed to the top of Carmel, bent down to the ground and put his face between his knees.

 “Go and look toward the sea,” he told his servant. And he went up and looked.

 The seventh time the servant reported, “A cloud as small as a man’s hand is rising from the sea.”

So Elijah said, “Go and tell Ahab, ‘Hitch up your chariot and go down before the rain stops you.’”

Meanwhile, the sky grew black with clouds, the wind rose, a heavy rain started falling and Ahab rode off to Jezreel. The power of the Lord came on Elijah and, tucking his cloak into his belt, he ran ahead of Ahab all the way to Jezreel.

Now Ahab told Jezebel everything Elijah had done and how he had killed all the prophets with the sword. So Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah to say, “May the gods deal with me, be it ever so severely, if by this time tomorrow I do not make your life like that of one of them.”

Why?

Elijah did what the Lord commanded him, and Elijah showed the power of the Lord and proved the Lord is the real God in Israel. 

But all of these things did not change the mind of Jezebel, wife of Ahab. She tries to kill Elijah, for Elihag is the servant of the Lord.

Elijah climbed to the top of Carmel, bent down to the ground and put his face between his knees. He is waiting for the Lord to make the rain come down. He waited with a calm down heart and worship attitude.

The rebellious woman even knew the truth she still wants to overcome it. She like satan want to fight against the Lord.

為什麼以利亞還要俯伏在地七次禱告，沒有和亞哈王一樣去吃喝?神雖然已經成就事工，但是神要人和神同工，所以神要他的僕人禱告，在禱告的時候滿足(7次），神就成就神的工作。

屬神的人，聽見雷聲，屬世的人聽不到神工作的聲音。

以利亞因為聖靈提攜所以他走路居然的比坐馬車的亞路王還要快，目的在於提醒亞哈王不要受妻子影響。可惜仍然是受後宮影響，一個沒有主見的王。

一個深受撒旦影響的人，即使出現神蹟，神的大作為，他們還是依然故我，無視神的提醒！

How?

The truth will conquer the virtual and cheating, only the word of the Lord stand forever.
