1 Kings 18

Elijah challenged the 450 prophets of Baal to a power demonstration.  Could he consume an offering doused with water by fire? Elijah began taunting them when after hours of fruitless invoking, nothing was happening. He sarcastically said, ” Maybe Baal is sleeping.  Cry out louder.”

It was no use. Baal was a powerless idol.

When Elijah called upon GOD, fire came down from heaven in a dramatic display of power and licked up the offering and all the water which had soaked it “real good.”
