Episode description

We need God’s power to keep standing and keep moving even when we feel like giving up.

In 1Kings 19:1-4: Prophet Elijah just performed a mighty miracle by engaging the prophet of Baal in a contest and defeated them. But despite the great achievement, he feared for his life when Jezebel, the prophetess of Baal threatened to kill him. He became so weary, tired and frustrated that he retreated into the wilderness and abandoned his servant. The Bible records that, "...when he saw that, he arose, and went for his life, and came to Beersheba, which belongeth to Judah, and left his servant there. But he himself went a day's journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a juniper tree: and he requested for himself that he might die; and said, It is enough; now, O LORD, take away my life; for I am not better than my fathers."

You may also be weary, tired, and feel like giving up just like Elijah. Or may be there's a Jezebel threatening, frustrating, making your life a living hell. Your Jezebel could be system, debt, financial issue, health, family, spiritual or something more personal, all you need is to do what Elijah did that restored him.
