DISCOURAGED? DEPRESSED?
Last week we saw how the angel of the LORD had visited Elijah. Let us re-visit this matter.
Elijah had just finished a victorious event for the LORD. He had eliminated 450 false prophets of Baal that had been supported by Queen Jezebel. She was now determined to seek after Elijah and kill him. The prophet fled out of fear and was overwhelmingly despondent. He was so severely depressed that he wanted to die.
1 Kings 19:4 says of Elijah that, “he himself went a day’s journey into the wilderness, [to escape Jezebel] and came and sat under a juniper tree. And he requested for himself that he might die. And said, ‘It is enough [too much] now, O LORD, take away my life. For I am not better than my fathers.’” He had a death wish. He saw no reason to continue living.
Have you ever been there? Have you ever been so depressed that you just wanted to end it all? Is suicide ever an option? God is the giver of your life. Satan is the taker [destroyer] of life. God did not let Elijah stay in that mind set. He came [the angel of the LORD – verse 7] and ministered to Elijah. The prophet, after being encouraged by God, arose, and completed his God-given destiny.
When you are so “down and out” that you have lost your will to live, call out earnestly to God. Satan will even tell you that God does not care, so why bother to call Him? Do not be deceived. God cares for you even when you do not believe it. He will pick you up and show you a reason to live.
Jonah had also reached that dark valley after his work in Nineveh. He said in Jonah 4:3, “therefore now, O LORD, take, I beseech thee, my life from me. For it is better for me to die than to live.”
God responded to Jonah, who then continued as a well-known true prophet in Israel. God was not finished with him.
Do not allow a thought of death to control you. Turn hard unto Jesus and He will minister to you. Your “time to go” is determined by God. Do not put yourself above God. That time is his choice, not yours.
God loves you so much more than you can imagine.

BE A MENTOR
____________________
We are all the result of what we have or have not learned. There have been many mentors in my life, but there was one lady that deeply touched my heart. Her name was Jean.
Jean was the choir director in our church for both the adults and the young people. She had an amazing voice and taught us more than just music. She had a beautiful godly character about her that drew me to her. She always gave everyone a chance to sing regardless of their ability. She loved music and it showed.
A tragedy hit Jean when her son died at his own hands. It was such a traumatic tragedy, but worse than that because of what happened, the church I attended dismissed her as choir director. This beautiful woman that I came to love stepped down from that position. Instead of being bitter, she came to choir and submitted to the new wealthy choir director.
Jean’s display of love for the Lord shone through her even through this tragic time in her life. She not only taught me music, but a valuable lesson in character that I still treasure to this day.
What are you doing with your life to mentor others? Do you let the love shine through you even when you are at your darkest moment in life? Do others see your faith when it would be easy just to give up and become bitter?
I treasure knowing Jean. I can only pray that my life will be an example for someone else because of what I learned from her and through my journey as a Christian.
In closing, this verse comes to mind as the Apostle Paul wrote to the church at Corinth. Paul had been a murderer and hated Christians. After he received Christ, everything changed for him. 1 Corinthians 11:1 says, “Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.”
If we follow Christ, we can never get off the right path. Jean did that until the Lord called her home.

PROPHETIC WORD
AS GIVEN TO HELEN SANDERS
Listen, listen, listen my children for I have much to say. It is in those quiet moments that you come aside and listen that you will hear my voice. For I would say to you that there will be many uprootings this year. There will be much tearing down and there will be much resolve from my remnant to stand strong. For only those that are willing to go through the tearing down and the uprooting will be able to go forward in my power. I am uprooting things that will cause you to stumble if you do not let them go. I am tearing down strongholds that have oppressed you and caused you to lack. For in this year there will be such a shift that many will be left without hope because they did not take the time to listen. For I am about to bring many suddenlies upon this age. There will be many sudden deaths of those that have not been obedient and have not repented of their sins. The sin may not seem large to you, but they are large to me, saith the Lord. For there is no time for debate when it comes to sin. I cannot have my body be unholy. For I am coming for a bride without spot or blemish. Many are in the valley of decision, and must make the right decision now before it is too late. Many are in bondage to things of the flesh, and those things must go or you will be taken out saith the Lord. For those that listen and obey, I will open up the windows of heaven and pour out a blessing that you would never have dreamed of. I am opening new doors that will bring in blessings beyond what you could have ever imagined. I will bless those that have listened because they have forsaken so much for my kingdom. I reward obedience saith the Lord. For in this hour you shall see many things happen. There will be a turning away from me like you have never seen. Many will blame me for what will soon happen, but it is sin that has brought what is coming. There will be much chaos this year, greater than ever before. Many will lose loved ones that have not surrendered their all to me. This is not a time of game playing. For I have extended my hand of mercy over and over. Many have received it but have continued in their own soulish ways. This is not the hour that things will remain the same. For darkness is coming in such a way that only those that are listening to my voice will be able to go through this time. For yes, kingdoms shall rise against kingdoms, and many lives will be lost. There will be war and there will be bloodshed. But for those that have determined to walk in my ways they shall not only be seen through this time as heroes of the faith, they shall lead many to my light. This season is not for the weak of heart. This season is for those that know their strength comes from me and me alone. For I will be there with them through what is coming. Remember, there will be many suddenlies. Not just sudden deaths, but there will be sudden moves to place you strategically where I need you to be. Be obedient to the call my children and you will be safe. But if you hold on to what you think is best then you will not be safe. You must not let things be your motivation in all that you do. Your motivation should be to please me and me alone. For I alone know what is best for you. There shall arise one that will bring false hope, but this person is not of me. This person is a deceiver. Do not listen to those that say all is well, for all is not well. For a nation that has not repented will not be able to stand. Do not look to man to bring any change, for only I AM the one that can bring life out of death. Now unloose yourself from all entanglements that would trap you and cause you not to walk in my way, and be led by my Holy Spirit and you shall do great exploits for my kingdom saith the Lord.

Thought For Today
Elijah stops the rain
”Now Elijah, who was from Tishbe in Gilead, told King Ahab, “As surely as the Lord, the God of Israel, lives—the God I serve—there will be no dew or rain during the next few years until I give the word!”“
1 Kings 17:1 NLT
”Later on, in the third year of the drought, the Lord said to Elijah, “Go and present yourself to King Ahab. Tell him that I will soon send rain!” So Elijah went to appear before Ahab. Meanwhile, the famine had become very severe in Samaria.“
1 Kings 18:1-2 NLT
”Then Elijah said to Ahab, “Go get something to eat and drink, for I hear a mighty rainstorm coming!” So Ahab went to eat and drink. But Elijah climbed to the top of Mount Carmel and bowed low to the ground and prayed with his face between his knees. Then he said to his servant, “Go and look out toward the sea.” The servant went and looked, then returned to Elijah and said, “I didn’t see anything.” Seven times Elijah told him to go and look. Finally the seventh time, his servant told him, “I saw a little cloud about the size of a man’s hand rising from the sea.” Then Elijah shouted, “Hurry to Ahab and tell him, ‘Climb into your chariot and go back home. If you don’t hurry, the rain will stop you!’” And soon the sky was black with clouds. A heavy wind brought a terrific rainstorm, and Ahab left quickly for Jezreel. Then the Lord gave special strength to Elijah. He tucked his cloak into his belt and ran ahead of Ahab’s chariot all the way to the entrance of Jezreel.“
1 Kings 18:41-46 NLT

Shoes HCC
What shoes do you wear?
Did you remember to put your armor on?
Christ’s truth, his righteousness and peace,
Is complete armor, all that you need.
Your shoes for God, walk you through,
Trials and troubles. Persevere with this,
Beautiful armor. Our feet walk on rocky roads,
Bumps and gravel.
We need spiritual shoes to push on victorious.
Now we stand in the presence of the,
Peace of God. Our Eternity waits!
