Introduction
If the Lord Be God
Focus on Him
When we come , Elijah has just come down off of Mt.
Carmel.
The Lord had sent rain and strengthened Elijah to run 40 kilometers (25 miles) from Mt. Carmel to Jezreel.
Elijah has just had a mountain top experience.
He had seen God answer two major prayers and been used of God to win a major victory in the hearts of the children of Israel.
After a long and exhausting day, Elijah is finally in a place that he can rest…or so it seemed.

Introduction: When we come , Elijah has just come down off of Mt.
Carmel.
The Lord had sent rain and strengthened Elijah to run 25 miles from Mt. Carmel to Jezreel.
Elijah has just had a mountain top experience.
He had seen God answer two major prayers and been used of God to win a major victory in the hearts of the children of Israel.
After a long and exhausting day, Elijah is finally in a place that he can…or so it seemed.
It’s in chapter 19 that we go from seeing a strong and committed Elijah, to a weak and exhausted Elijah who is ready to quit, not just on the ministry God had called him, but he is also ready to quit on life.

Taking your eyes off of the Lord can lead to you into discouragement and depression.
This will lead to many poor decisions.

a. JOKE: Our first, and most important point today comes from verses 1-3, Be very afraid of an angry woman!
I mean, Elijah just took on Ahab and 450 prophets of Baal…and won!
But when it came to Jezebel…run, leave, run for your life!
b.
Elijah had just faced off against Ahab and the prophets of Baal, 1 on 450+¸ and wasn’t afraid.
c.
When He hears Jezebel’s threat, he is terrified.
He takes off running and doesn’t stop until he reaches Beersheba, the southernmost town in ancient Judah.
d.
For the last 3-1/2 years, Elijah had trusted God through his time at Cherith, Zarephath, and Mt.
Carmel, but now he is running for his life.
1. Temiendo por Tu Vida (3)
e.
What different?
He took his eyes off of the Lord; He took his focus off of the Lord and instead focused on his problems.

2. Rechazar a los que se Preocupan (3)
2. Rechazar a los que se Preocupan (3)
b.
At the end of verse 3, we’re told that upon arriving at Beersheba, Elijah left his servant there.
c.
From this, we can assume that Elijah has had a servant with at least through the most recent events at Mt. Carmel, but likely since before the Brook Cherith.
3. Pensamientos Suicidas (4)
d.
This servant had been faithfully at Elijah’s side and had been through everything with Elijah.
He had seen how had provided at the Brook Cherith.
He saw how God provided in Zarephath.
He saw God reveal His power at Mt. Carmel.
He saw God answer Elijah’s prayers over and over again.
e.
I wonder what the conversation was between the two of them from Jezreel to Beersheba.
Was the servant trying to get Elijah to remember who His God was? Was he just as afraid?
