We need to learn to deal with the problem, believe in what we preach to others, and have the strength to move forward. 1) ELIJAH'S "CRISIS" ➔ Elijah had a personal "crisis," frustrated expectations - 1 Kings 19:4 ➔ Characteristics of the crisis: ● Isolation - 1 Kings 19:3, 9 ● Sense of injustice (I alone am left, and they are seeking to take my life) - 1 Kings 19:14 2) GOD'S WAY OF ACTING IN OUR CRISES ➔ God allows us to face crises because He wants ministers who have compassion for those facing crises (Heb 4:15-16) and not who place on others a burden they do not want to carry - Matthew 23:4 ➔ God does not prevent us from entering into a crisis and sometimes even "winds us up." Elijah goes from the desert to the cave and God strengthens him for it - 1 Kings 19:5-9 ➔ God will only speak to us outside the cave 3) BEING STRENGTHENED IN THE LORD ➔ There are times of pain and crying, and we have the right to cry (John 11:35), but we need to know when to stop crying - 1 Samuel 30:4,6 ➔ Our discouragement involves the fear of seeing everything end, but we need to fight for the promise - 1 Samuel 30:7-8 ➔ Unlike Elijah, everything returned to normal - 1 Samuel 30:18-20 The responsibility to strengthen ourselves in the Lord is ours. Who we are will always be more important than what we do for God. --- Actively participate in our ministry: www.orvalho.com/cooperadores
