I want to show you how one of the most

powerful men of God in all the

Bible lost control of his life for a

season and how he got back in control

we’re talking about Elijah and his

battle with Jezebel you know the story

very well but let me remind you of some

of the circumstances remember he calls

there’s a famine in the land and he

calls all of the prophets of Baal there

are 450 prophets of Baal and there are

400 prophets of of the goddess

ashas and this is 850 false prophets and

they build two altars there one to Baal

and ashis and one to the heavenly father

and of course you know the story Elijah

waits for them uh unsuccessfully to call

fire down on their altar their God

doesn’t answer deaf and dumb and and

just a piece of uh nonsense and then he

puts 12 barrels of water upon his altar

after building a ditch around it prays

if simple prayer and a fire god comes

down not only licks the sacrifice in the

altar but licks up all the water and the

people fall in their face and say God is

God he is god Jehovah is

God the Prophet Elijah picks up a sword

and he tells every man to get his sword

and they they bind these prophets and

take them down the mountain by the Brook

kidin and and slay every one of them

kill 850 false

prophets uh Ahab is watching all of this

from his Royal Chariot at the bottom of

the

mountain and suddenly the prophet goes

back up on the hill and he begins to

pray he said uh I see the cloud about a

size of a man’s hand he outruns ahab’s

Chariot into the city of jezrael

remember he outran it this is some 18

miles this old Prophet outran the king’s

horses which probably the best horses in

all the land now that’s the Holy

Ghost I’m lucky if I can run three

blocks at my age I know he’s older than

I was and he ran 18 miles out running

the Holy Ghost came on him Hallelujah

now he he’s sitting outside evidently

he’s sitting somewhere in the city and

he’s waiting he’s he he’s wondering now

maybe this is the time he’s so excited

uh surely when Ahab rehearses this whole

thing how the fire came down there’s

going to be fear of God in her and when

she finds out 850 of her prophets that

that sat at her table that she financed

that that that she paid for and all of

this false worship she’s she’s

introduced introduced in Jerusalem and

Judah now she’s going to tremble because

there’s going to be a riot in the city I

think he was waiting for a riot I think

he was waiting to see her grab her

belongings get on a royal charot and

scadoodle out of

town but that wouldn’t happen the Bible

says that she sent a messenger she sent

a messenger I’m going to tell you

something folks here’s a Godly holy

righteous man this man is moving in the

power and the anointing of the Holy

Ghost this man is under the direction of

the Holy Spirit and everything he said

and did this man is without he’s not

living in sin he’s righteous Godly Pious

he’s in the will of God he has

singlehandedly under the anointing of

God performed one of the greatest uh

work workings of God’s spirit in the

land and the history of

Israel and now he’s full of Faith he’s

excited God is about to send a great

Revival into the land God is going to

move in a mighty way and folks watch out

after God blesses you watch out when

you’re walking a clean pure holy life

and the hand of God is on you and you

think man it’s clear sailing right

through from here on everything is

fine no no no no that’s when the

messenger of Satan is sent

that is when the devil sends a

messenger there are two battles in this

story

now there two battles there’s the battle

uh on the mount that was between the

devil and God’s corporate body on

Earth you see that battle up there was

was not uh Elijah’s battle that was

God’s battle was between Jezebel who who

was the devil incarnate the the devil

had incarnated her and if Elijah is

waiting for her to repent he’s got a

long wait because you see the devil

can’t repent the de the devil is beyond

repentance he’s so hard there’s no

possibility of him repenting there’s no

way she’s going to

repent and there’s there are two battles

here there’s the battle on the mountain

that’s the corporate Battle of the body

or the church against the spirit of

wickedness of the age you know there is

a battle in the land that we’re all

involved in the church we’ve got

Christians that are demonstrating

against abortion which is wonderful

we’ve got Christians who are praying uh

getting into politics and trying to

change the government from the inside

that’s commendable uh see these are

corporate battles of the body of Jesus

Christ against that sin out there

against the inroads of

homosexuality see these These are the

great battles of the church but they’re

really not our battles it’s God against

the Devil Himself

but you see it’s one thing to be

involved in a mountain like that in this

great battle of the corporate body

against sin and the devil but it’s

another thing when it becomes a personal

battle when it’s no longer fighting

homosexuality out there it’s not

demonstrating or marching about uh some

political thing or abortion but the

devil says hey you’ve done enough damage

to my kingdom you’re a praying man

you’re a Praying Woman you’ve got uh a

holy spirit about about you and you’ve

done damage to my kingdom now I’m going

to make this a battle between me and you

a personal battle

now it’s a personal battle now there

these two battles one of them is is now

fading out and the devil’s saying all

right you have come against me and he’s

speaking through Jezebel now I’m going

to get you I’m coming after you I’m not

coming after the whole church I’m going

to Mark you I’m going to point you out

of the whole crowd there were 7,000

prophets who never bowed their knee to

bail they didn’t get a messenger Elijah

got the messenger he got the messenger

now here’s a man that’s subject like

passions just as we are he was just as

normal as you and I am he was a man who

felt things he was a man who grieved a

man who wept and laughed and cried but

you’re going to see the story unfold

here

tonight a man of great victories

effective against the power of hell but

then when the enemy comes at him he

loses

control Elijah’s personal battle is

right here at the gates of jezrael

now

now this this man is wanting

probably to uh see a ride in the city he

want Jezebel he was so so anxious for

God to cleanse the the nation he he

would pay any price anything happened to

move her out of her position and and

clear this evil situation up and I I

think there’s something else God’s

dealing with he’s dealing with some

pride in this man because later that

Pride came out on the mountain when he’s

alone with God remember he he he said

I’m the only one left God in all the

land I’m the only one left there was

there was a famous evangelist television

evangelist who just before he fell got

on television and I was appalled when I

heard it he he said this is the only

Ministry God’s anointed to reach the

world and he had a vision of of a

hundred Harvesters that were all his

they’re all harvesting and the Harvest

field these were all his harvesting

machines no folks that was the The Pride

the Bible says that goes before

destruction and perhaps there’s some

pride in this man he’s the only one left

in the

land Ahab told jezrael all that Elijah

had done and about how he had slain all

the prophets with the sword then Jezebel

sent a messenger unto

Elijah Elijah is sitting here waiting

for uh the the Revival to break out he’s

waiting for jezel to be either slain or

removed instead he gets a messenger from

Satan a messenger from the Devil Himself

and here’s what he is she said so let

the gods do to me and more also if I

make not your life as the life of one of

them by tomorrow this time in other

words you slew my prophets I’m going to

kill you sir you’ve got 24 hours to live

you’re a dead man this time tomorrow

night now this man is not in any danger

because

remember the young prophet he anointed

Elisha who followed

him didn’t Elisha see a mighty host he

saw uh this on horses he saw a host of

God’s

Army so it’s the same Army that’s

surrounding Elijah Elijah is not any

danger in the first place she says

listen to what she so let the gods do to

me she’s swearing by gods who have just

failed she’s swearing by gods

who who couldn’t answer so what’s he

afraid of he he saw he had a he had a

demonstration right before his eyes he’s

swearing by a God that he

defeated and he’s in no danger

whatsoever folks I don’t care how the

devil lies I don’t care how he rails

against you you’re in no

danger you are not in any danger he

cannot touch you outside of God’s

permission there’s no way

Elijah you’re a dead man beloved God

allowed this personal challenge for

reason it’s one thing to be able to

stand against the sins of the whole

world but then when the Devil Comes

against you personally watch out when

the devil

brings these accusations how different

when the devil focuses all of his

attention on

you and you see he brings fear through

lies he has to tell lies to produce this

fear Elijah panics in just a few hours

he goes from this bold holy boldness

assurance and Spiritual Authority to a

fearful despairing depressed confused

man who’s on the run and he arose and

ran for his life he ran through his

life now folks the devil’s not trying to

kill him the devil not interested in

killing you he’s not after you’re dying

he’s after your

living he wants to control your life not

your death as I said once before I don’t

know if you remember me telling you can

you imagine the devil going to a

Christian’s funeral and he he he he says

I caused an accident first place he

can’t do that without God’s permission

and I I killed him well he’s not going

to rejoice in sending people to

Heaven oh there goes another and I just

send Heaven oops wrong

Channel no he’s not interested in

sending this man to

Glory he wants to torment he wants to

keep him alive and torment him the devil

not interested in killing you he’s after

you making he doesn’t want to kill you

he just wants to make you

miserable he wants to make you miserable

in unbelief and doubt and fear and

guilt Satan knows that worshiping

Saints who are in the word and living by

faith are in

control it’s the Holy Ghost who’s moving

in them of course I’m telling you the

Holy Ghost is in control but we are the

instruments by which that control is

brought

forth and so what is what is he going to

do he going to try to come in with lies

and panic you to get you away from the

things of

God and now you find this man sitting on

a under a juniper tree and asking God to

kill

him now now that’s something for a man

to say Lord take my life when he’s

running to save his

life doesn’t make sense to me he’s

running to save his life and he’s

sitting there saying Lord kill me I

don’t want to live

anymore Jeremiah had that same battle

don’t go there but in in Jeremiah the

20th chapter verses 14 to 18 he he’s

saying the same thing Lord uh you’ve

deceived me if you go to the 11th verse

just three verses before that he’s got

this great testimony he’s saying the

Lord is with me as a mighty terrible one

for my persecutors shall stumble they

shall not Prevail they shall be greatly

ashamed for they shall not Prosper their

Everlasting confusion shall never be

forgotten sing to the Lord Praise ye the

Lord for he has delivered the soul of

the poor from the hand of evildoers you

know Wonderful testimony God’s in

control God’s going to deliver you and

suddenly Here Comes pure a governor of

the land of of the synagogue and he

throws him in jail and accuses him of

being uh a false prophet and then you

hear the prophet in jail the prophet

Jeremiah’s in prison and he’s saying God

you’ve deceived me and if you you read

chapter 20 verse4 to 18 it’s a uh a

terrible complaint the man of God he

said Lord You’ve deceived me you have f

forsaken me I want to

die what

happened confusion falls on the prophet

oh Lord thou has deceived me and I was

deceived I was fooled Thou Art stronger

than I am and you’ve prevailed against

me I’m in derision every day everyone is

mocking me he’s saying Lord You’ve not

kept your word you’ve not fulfilled your

word you put me through too much I feel

like I’ve been

deceived and I want to talk to you about

this there are people that don’t

understand how God can allow the devil

to come and attack them

personally that he that that this

Christian who’s living so clean and

righteous before the Lord who has

nothing but a desire to please God

somebody who’s been in the word of God

somebody who’s been walking in the

spirit somebody has no other desire but

to fulfill the will of God have

abandoned their own will and suddenly

they become the focus of Hell suddenly

the devil is coming at them trying to

bring Panic threatening them sending

Messengers Out of Hell itself saying you

are dead I’m after you he he gives

evidence on all side that he’s out to

destroy you and he wants to produce this

fear and and often God in this time will

allow a tremendous time of testing he

he’s do he trying to do something in

this Prophet that hasn’t been

accomplished yet in spite of all of his

past victories there’s still something

God is looking for in this man because

he has a greater work for him to do

and and and you can say well God has to

be with me he’s blessed me so much in

the past but if if God is going to use

you in Greater measure if he’s going to

make you a greater testimony or he’s

going to open wider doors for you even

of his own blessings he has to bring you

to a testing

place it it for example uh those who

milk snakes for medical purposes they

they actually milk the snakes I’ve seen

this done down in Florida and what they

do they put them right in a snake pit to

teach them now I don’t want to be a

medical uh milker of

snakes but sometimes god’ll let you go

into the snake pit to teach you how to

milk out of it His

blessings we we’ll get into that as we

go a little

further J Nehemiah said when the enemy

and the messenger of the devil came to

him he and the devil saidou better run

and Nehemiah said should such a man as I

flee I will not

run now now folks many of us don’t need

a message on please be steadfast don’t

run you don’t need it because you

already ran you’re already running too

late you’re already

running that but but you see this is

what the message is about for you that

have been running those who are in panic

those who are in depression those who

who who say I really know in my heart

I’m doing my best to serve God nobody in

the world will tell me that I don’t love

my

Jesus I know he’s delivered me from sin

I know my if I know my heart at all I

don’t want to go back to sin but you

still don’t

understand how because of that desire

how the enemy can still come at you with

temptation trying to overwhelm you

trying to get you to run to go back to

some old s ful

way I’m speaking to the guys here and

others all through the congregation here

that’s what the devil does he wants you

to run and some of in your spirit you’re

not out there yet but in your spirit

you’re already running you take you’ve

already turned there’s a panic in you

there’s a fright in you you’re scared

the devil’s going to get me you’re you

you’re afraid that you’re absolutely

going to forsake God and lose it

all now let me tell you how you you can

take control back in your life if the

devil is already coming he succeeded in

in and trying to he succeeded in

bringing depression and

fear guilt condemnation upon

you and I know God put this in my heart

today God really laid this on my heart

that there were going to be people in

this meeting

tonight who if your life is not out of

control the depression in you is out of

control the fear feing you is out of

control here’s a a l a letter I received

today from a

sister they come home they were away

turned the house upside down destroyed

almost everything in

sight 12 13-year-old daughter had a

kidney transplant and the kidney failed

dear sister said pastor

I’m going to trust God through it all

you see the amazing thing about that

this sister just a few weeks ago was

backstage weeping and saying brother

Dave God Pastor God is really dealing

with me I love him like I’ve never loved

him before I heard a testimony I’m going

to give him everything I may have fail

him in the past but my heart is

determined to seek him with all

everything in me and I thought well now

she’s that things are going to change

she’s

man she’s had so many problems in her

home husband and family so many problems

now maybe this is going to be the answer

and I felt real good then I got this

letter

today describing what’s happened since

that testimony of righteousness and a

heart set for God and now the messenger

Satan is coming now he’s trying to get

her to run back to her old life of fear

doubting God questioning God saying

where are you I I’m trying to do the

best I can I love you I’m praying I’m

reading my Bible I’m seeking your face

why why why why

now there’s there there’s the Prophet

Elijah sitting on a a juniper tree and

says oh my Lord my

God I have laid my life down for

you I’ve been jealous for your

Holiness and now look what you’ve done

you’ve allowed this woman to take

control again this man is sitting out in

the desert absolutely out of

control he’s running he’s lost his his

perception he’s lost his discernment

he’s full of fear he’s depressed he’s

down God you forsaken me God you let me

down all right how how is this man going

to get back in control and how do you

get back in control once this happens

first of all you got to keep in mind

that God is with you even in your

running did you hear me God is with you

even in your running in Elijah’s Despair

and in his total confusion he’s fearful

he’s wanting to give up so God what does

God do does god chastise him does God

reprimand him thises God whip him saying

where’s your power where’s your strength

why are you running no no no no he sends

him a private Butler and Chef an

angel to cook him a meal that’s going to

last him 40 days and 40 nights now

that’s some

meal that was a supernatural

meal and you know when God sent this

Angel to the Prophet Elijah under the

Jun tree I think I know what God told

him to do I think he he said to the

angel he said now Elijah is my servant

I’ve sent him on a mission he thinks

he’s failed he’s hurting be kind and

patient with him speak softly to him I

still love him he thinks I’ve given up

on him he thinks he’s he thinks it’s all

over but it’s just beginning I’m doing a

work in him and he doesn’t know it he

doesn’t understand it I want you to cook

him a good meal I want you to know I can

feel comfortable speak encouragement to

his heart and let him know that he’s got

to go on the strength of this meal that

he can’t do it in his own strength and

that’s when God comes to it to what he’s

trying to get you to the end of your

strength he told Elijah the angel told

Elijah you can’t do this in your own

strength you’re going to have to go on

the strength of this meal this

Supernatural meal folks that’s the word

of God

Hallelujah he sent his word to us to

bring healing he sent the

angel oh glory be to

God what a I don’t know what was in that

food the journey is too great for him he

can’t make it without eating and

drinking the food that I Supply that the

application should be understood by all

of us isn’t that easy to understand

the word in the spirit drinking the wine

of the spirit and the

word you

understand what prophet’s saying the

journey is too great for

you now what he’s saying to you right

now what you’re going through is too

great for you you can’t bear it yourself

this journey is too great that’s the

only thing I can tell this sister she’ll

be here Sunday morning she said and and

uh don’t think I if I see her backst I’m

going to tell her hey this this is too

much for you you can’t have this she

knows that but she’s got to be reminded

that that she’s just got to just right

now crawl in the lap of Jesus and just

rest Lord I’m going to write out this

storm liver die I am yours I’m your

servant my part is to keep my eyes on

you and just trust you what else can you

do you can’t fight your way

out Allelujah he said tell my servant

this is too much for him to Bear but I’m

going to give him the strength I’m going

to feed him I’m going to supply what’s

needed to see him through Hallelujah

whatever wherever you’re running

Whatever It Is God is still with you in

your running he was still with him in

his running wasn’t he is’t that

wonderful he said I’ll never leave you

I’ll never forsake you I don’t care what

you’re going through I don’t care what

the devil’s telling you he telling you

you’re no good you’re worthless you’re

helpless God says I’m still with you the

angel of the Lord encamps around about

you the angel of the Lord is with you

secondly taking back control requires

dealing with the Lord’s still Small

Voice and you know what he’s going to

say what are you doing here in this

condition what are you doing

hiding what what are you doing closing

up inside and so focused on your

problem come on

now some of youve been so focused on

your past hurts you’ve been focused on

somebody years ago wounded and hurt you

and you’re living on that you you’re

you’re you’re hiding in this Cave of

mental depression and mental anxiety and

all these fears and all these lies of

Hell still bombarding your mind and you

forget he said I will be to you a wall

of fire round about your brain and your

head and your

body now still Small Voice going to say

what are you doing still sitting here in

this situation why are you sitting here

pouting what he saying Li how long you

gonna let the devil lie to you how long

does this go on folks I’m going to ask

some of you have been in this bondage

for months and years when does it

end you’re saying the cross has no

Victory you’re saying that that all you

can do is tried to find a little bit of

relief not Deliverance but a little

relief no God’s not interested in just

giving you relief he’s giving you

Deliverance he’s saying Elijah when are

you going to wake up and end this

foolishness this

hiding now some of you here you’ve been

hiding in your problem you’ve been

hiding in your despair you’ve been

wallowing in your

guilt that’s the question how long will

you let this go on you don’t need to run

there is nothing to fear I’m not mad at

you I need you your work is not done

just wake up now and remember who I

am and who you are in

me now God needed to get to the root and

the cause he’s after something in Elijah

and you know what it

is he God needed Elijah to get to the

root of his spirit and here it is now

listen to me closely here here’s what

Elijah’s thinking is God you let the

devil get to me you’ve allowed the devil

to harass me you’ve allowed the devil to

take away my rest you’ve allowed the

devil to put fear in me and I didn’t

deserve such

treatment I was holy I was obedient

doing everything you told me to do do

you let Jezebel loose on me all my

praying all my faith all my preaching

all my obedience all my devotion to you

God and I end up in the biggest personal

battle in all my life God it doesn’t

make

sense there’s no there there’s no sense

to this because I don’t deserve this

kind of treatment from

you and that’s what God that’s the

that’s the spirit God’s after in us when

we’re going through through tremendous

trials and you say God I don’t deserve

this I may have deserved it back then

when I failed you when I was living in

sin but I don’t deserve it now you allow

the devil to tempt me you allow the the

enemy to come against me you allow

problems in my life that overwhelm me

it’s not

fair and that’s kind of thinking God is

after that has to end once and for

all see it doesn’t matter all the great

works you do up in Mountain up on that

mountain you can see great signs and

wonders and miracles but you got to come

down personally to live by faith it’s

one thing to have faith for the whole

nation it’s another thing to have faith

for your own

spirit and he didn’t have faith for

himself no know he had faith for the

whole nation but he didn’t have faith to

get himself through a single battle when

the enemy came against him and some of

you believe God for the healing of all

your family you believe God can send

Revival to the nation you believe God

can pull down the powers of darkness and

principalities and powers of spiritual

wickedness in high places but then when

you go through your own little battle

down you

go you’re not going to get out you’re

not going to get back in control until

you get honest with

God see when you learn how to resist the

devil the the Bible say he’s going to

flee from

you now that’s

Bible he could have resisted Jezebel and

she would have

fled but how can you learn how to

resist until the Lord puts you in a

battle where you need to

resist how do you know you have strength

and Faith against the Roaring devil

until the Lord lets the Roaring devil

look you in the

face you you know uh if if if the

trainer of a boxer i’ I’ve used this

illustration on before if if you’re

going to uh be the trainer of a

boxer what do you do you bring a a cream

puff into the to the ring somebody is

going to go down with the first blow no

no no no you get the best what do you

call them sparring partner you get the

best strongest sparring partner that you

can find this trainer if he really loves

his his his boxer he’ll get the

strongest one in there and he’ll let him

go in there and go at it he let his man

go down a few times to train him to

harden him against the attacks of of the

uh the oppressor and that’s the only way

they’re trained and the only way God can

produce faith in us is allow us to be in

conditions where it’s

needed where it has to be

exercised how do you know you have faith

how can you call on faith how can you

exercise Faith until you’re in a

situation where it’s absolutely needed

it’s a life and death situation and God

allows us to go in there to see he test

us with that that situation in right now

was a

test I I Was preparing

this and I I get a telephone

call and uh I I’m not going to get

personal about it but all of a

sudden and another

call and suddenly I’m overwhelmed by uh

some problems my children that the

situation with their their children uh

one has add the other has

uh I don’t know what the other thing is

dyslexia discover dyslexia and add and

uh over here another child calls some

some deep uh physical problems and I’m

I’m preparing this

enemy comes into my flesh and tries to

put some kind of an evil thought I’m not

surprised that I’m capable of losing my

temper once in a while because flesh is

always going to be I’m not surprised by

anything in my flesh anymore and that’s

where you get the victory you’re not

surprised because you’re not walking in

spirit of

God and you turn to the Flesh and say
