I'm Tired & Discouraged | Alex Howell | 1 Kings 19:1-18

Episode Summary

Right after his biggest victory, Elijah got one threatening message and ran for his life. Alone under a tree, he asked God to let him die. In this final week of Don't Drink the Poison, Pastor Alex shows how God met Elijah in that dark place: not with a lecture, but with a meal, a nap, and then a quiet whisper that gave him his next step. If you're tired emotionally, spiritually, or physically, this is an honest look at what God does with people who are worn out.

Episode Notes

Scripture: 1 Kings 19:1-18; Matthew 11:28

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Discouragement often shows up right after a win. Knowing that helps you get ready instead of getting blindsided.
You can't separate the physical and the spiritual. Sometimes the most faithful next step is to eat a good meal and get some sleep.
Be honest with God about where you are, then make space to hear Him. He often speaks in a whisper, not the earthquake or the fire.
God's next step for you is bigger than you. He sent Elijah to raise up Elisha, and the faith gets passed on.

FROM THE MESSAGE
"God can't heal what you won't reveal."
"God will never tell you to run from him."

QUESTIONS TO REFLECT ON THIS WEEK

Am I running low emotionally, spiritually, or physically? Which one needs attention first?
When discouraging thoughts come, have I asked, "Who told me that?"
Is my life quiet enough right now to hear God if He whispered?
