The Elijah Church Pt. 7

1. Provision - Phil 4:10-13,19
2. Direction - Psalm 37:23-24
3. Courage - Ephesians 6:10-12

- Spirit's leading to provision: God supplied Elijah by crows at the brook, Jesus had supernatural provision to celebrate the Passover, Paul learned contentment and relying on God's goodness

- God's direction: Elijah and inner voice, Peter and Paul had visions, Agabus had a warning of famine

- Courageously speaking out -Elijah condemns false prophets, John the Baptist warned religious people of their hearts, Peter stood up to persecution

Entanglements with co-worker - pray for direction, ask God to give you gracious words, stand for truth

Spats with spouse - Humility and love always wins, arguments don't. The highest love is not what you do for me, but what I do for you. Many times we fight over finances, use your trust in God's goodness to calm anxieties.

Homeschooling your kids - Spend time with the Lord and create an atmosphere of peace. Avoid chaos and disorganization. Take the opportunity to pray with your kids about school and the start of every day. Give yourself grace and refuse to operate with pressure.
