240 Elijah's Journey: The Power, Authority and Overcoming Fear and Discouragement

Friday, May 3: In this conversation, John and Mariza continue their journey through the Old Testament, focusing on the story of Elijah. They discuss the evil deeds of King Ahab and his wife Jezebel, who worshiped false gods. Elijah is called by the Lord to confront Ahab and bring a drought upon the land. Elijah then goes to a widow in Zarephath, who miraculously provides for him and her son. The chapter ends with Elijah challenging the prophets of Baal on Mount Carmel, where he proves the power of the Lord by calling down fire from heaven. In this conversation, John and Mariza discuss the events of 1 Kings 18 and 19, focusing on the showdown between Elijah and the prophets of Baal. They explore the themes of faith, doubt, fear, and God's provision. They highlight the significance of the still small voice that Elijah hears after the dramatic events on Mount Carmel. The conversation ends with a reminder that we are never alone and that God is always with us, even in our moments of doubt and discouragement. ⁠⁠Email me your questions, comments, and suggestions.
