Following

Elijah: Part 3

In this message, Pastor Kevin Daniels relays the story of the Lord's judgement on King Ahaziah, as Elijah had warned him would be the the consequence for consulting the god Baalzebub regarding his injuries. If we seek answers from anywhere but God, we too will have consequences to accept.
