In this Faith Friday edition of Morning Manna, the lesson centers on the bold faith of Elijah during a time of national apostasy and personal testing. Drawing from 1 Kings 17:1–9, Rick Wiles and Doc Burkhart reflect on Elijah’s obedience in declaring drought, his reliance on God’s provision by the brook Cherith, and the deepening of trust required when the brook dried up. This powerful teaching emphasizes that true faith isn't just about trusting in provision but in the Provider Himself. The discussion connects Elijah’s journey to the pruning and refining seasons believers endure today—and encourages every listener to grow in faith no matter the circumstances.

The episode concludes with Holy Communion, linking Elijah’s sustenance to the eternal nourishment found in Christ.

Scriptures Covered:

In this Thursday edition of Morning Manna, the study of Proverbs continues with an in-depth reflection on verses 6 and 7 of chapter 1. Rick Wiles and Doc Burkhart explore the three layers of these verses: understanding proverbs and interpretations, valuing the words of the wise, and unraveling the meaning behind “dark sayings.” They explain how true biblical wisdom is revealed not through surface reading but by humble, Spirit-led study and meditation. The fear of the Lord is presented not as terror but as reverent awe, forming the unshakable foundation of all true knowledge. The session also underscores the danger of spiritual pride and the fate of those who reject instruction, while encouraging believers to dig deep, unwrap the treasures of Scripture, and grow in wisdom daily.
