    The Danger Of Spiritual Highs

    Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 25, 2022
     | 2,405 views

    The life of Elijah teaches us many valuable lessons. One of the lessons it teaches us is that some of our most trying times come after a SPIRITUAL HIGH in our life.

    For example, Elijah had just had two of his greatest victories: • All alone, he has just confronted a cult, and had 450 of their prophets on Mount Carmel killed. • God had just used him through prayer, to bring rain after three years of drought. He was on a SPIRITUAL HIGH, he was on a roll, and ...read more

    A preacher told of going through his father's effects after his dad died, and among the things he found was his father's 7th grade report card.

    Back in the Fall of 1941 this 7th grade report card showed the grading scale on the back of it. There was A, B, C, D, F, and something he'd never seen before: the letter G! Who would have thought there was a grade you could get that was below F. But back then there was. ''F'' of ...read more

    This message looks at a situation in the life of Elijah in which he felt all alone. This account teaches us that God is with us, and He has our best interests in mind at all times, even though we may not immediately hear from Him.

    This morning we are going to learn about hearing God during the midst of life’s difficult circumstances. How many of you have ever been through a difficult time in which you felt like God had abandoned you, or perhaps that He was nowhere to be found?

    Elijah provides a great example of how God uses prayer to change our lives.

    It has been said about prayer that “Prayer doesn’t change God, it changes me.” Indeed, God uses prayer to teach us some things about ourselves to reveal things to us that can change our lives for the better. This is what God used prayer to do for Elijah. Through prayer, God changed Elijah from ...read more
