I Kings 19:1-4 NKJV
Elijah’s ‘resume’
• Called for drought – “it will not rain except at my word”
• Raised a young man from the dead
• Called down fire from heaven, brought all Israel back to God.
• Killed the 450 prophets of Baal
There is always a Satanic interpretation when you hit a rough patch.
• Car or appliance breaks; unexpected expenses – Why does this always happen to me?
• Laid off at work
• Abandoned by a spouse
• Hit a wall financially
Sometimes there’s a lesson to be learned.
Many times, it’s just an attack by the enemy.
Life is not over!
One of God’s goals is to get us to quit defaulting to pessimism.
“…Now, Lord, take my life, for I am no better than my fathers!” (I Kings 19:4)
How do you fight the enemy, and comeback?
1. Rehearse the goodness of God
All Elijah had to do was look back to yesterday!
2. Put it into perspective
God gives us His perspective in His Word.
Psalms 2:1-4 NKJV
• Most people want what you want.
3. Spend time with God
• Hear HIS voice
• Get His marching orders
• I HAVE PURPOSE FOR YOU!
• Go forty days – there’s much left for you to do
• Elijah would later appear on the mount with Moses and Jesus!
