A MOMENT
(London, Ky.)
Have you had a moment of great victory and think nothing can bring you down? Unfortunately people can not live on victories all the time.
Read more: A MOMENTIn 1 Kings 19 Elijah had a moment; he thoughts it is over. He thought my ministry is over. He thought I am alone and he wanted to die. This was after the great victory of fire falling down from heaven and ending of a drought in 1 Kings 18.
Everyone has moments of depression and anxiety. No one is immune from thinking their life and their ministry is over. No one is immune from wanting to die.
Imagine it is December and you get a call that your son has been murdered and your brother had been murdered. Imagine getting shaved by your dad and at 2:15 your dad gets a call from the coroner. The police was just at the house the coroner told the father. The son called the mother who was visiting her sister in Northern Kentucky.
Imagine having a dream a month before the call. The dream was of your mother and father in a a hospital like room and crying.
Imagine the father going outside and whaling and the mother tears flood her eyes because of her son. There was no investigation in to the murder;imagine the depression. If not for God!
Imagine you are driving to college in the spring of 2006, when having problems at a church you attended an you was crying and singing through the fire [not knowing all the words to the song].
Imagine it is December and your best friend was suppose to come up for Christmas. Imagine that you had been robbed several times where you was living and your best friend wanted you to move.
Imagine calling and texting him to get no answer all day Christmas you go to sleep at your parents because church the next day. Your father was supposed to take your brother home. However a call changed everything. Imagine everyone barely holding it together. You go to church sat on front row and your baby brother comes in before ‘Sunday school’ is over and the pastor prays with the mother because she has not gave you the news.
Imagine it is after church you eat lunch and you start to get on your laptop the mother calls for her husband. Everyone informs you that your best friend died from diabetic coma.
Imagine going back to your apartment begging God to let you die and you say ‘no one knows no one cares and no one understands.’
God will let you have a moment of anxiety depression however He will not leave you there. God told Elijah in in 1 Kings 19 I still have more for you to do and you are not alone.
You might feel like your life is over and there is nothing more for you to do you might feel all alone. However there is still more for you to do. And you are not alone. Here is people to reach.
It is time to get up get to work.
