Elijah was a Prophet on earth, he lived in the area of Jordan an "inhabitant of Gilead" he performed many miracles during his time on earth, here are a few examples.
- 1 Kings 17:1- No rain or dew in Gilead for a few years
- 1 Kings 17:2-6- Ravens fed Elijah bread and meat
- 1 Kings 17:8-16- A woman took Elijah in that was very poor, because she served Elijah over her and her son, her flour and oil that were nearly out lasted the whole time it never rained.
- 1 Kings 17:17-22- Elijah raised the women's son from the dead. This was the same women that fed him
- 1 Kings 18:31-38- Elijah built an altar out of stone and wood then drenched it with water and God consumed it with fire.
- 1 Kings 18: 41-45 Elijah and Ahab were able to get out of the land safely before it started to rain
- 1 Kings 21: 17-19; 22: 34-38. The King of Israel had killed someone to gain possession of land. Elijah prophesied that the king would die on the same land, later this prophecy came true.
- 2 Kings 1:9-14. The guards were sent out to find God, Elijah consumed 2 groups of 50 soldiers to stop them from leaving the land. The third group of 50 sent he spared because they recognized that God was already in the land.
Miracles can be both a blessing and a curse. It depends what side of the fence you are on. If you are cheering for God then the miracles will be in your favor, like the women that fed Elijah her last bit of food, she had food the whole time it never rained. For those that weren't doing what's right they were cursed with no water for a year. I have found it's a good thing to choose God's side. When Elijah's time on earth was over it says "there appeared a chariot of fire,...and Elijah went up in a whirlwind into heaven" he was translated. 2 Kings 2:11-12
