Why Does Fear Make God’s People Ineffective? - Elijah, Anxiety & Victory in Jesus

Описание: Fear and anxiety are not new, but neither is God’s faithfulness.

In this powerful message, we examine how the enemy seeks to neutralize God’s people through fear, discouragement, and anxiety, and how Jesus provides the way to overcome what feels overwhelming.

Through the story of Elijah under the broom tree (1 Kings 19), we see something startling:
A prophet who had just experienced victory, fire from heaven, and public triumph suddenly becomes afraid, runs for his life, and prays for God to take it all away.

Why does this happen?
Why do fear and anxiety often hit after moments of victory?
And how does God respond when His servants feel emotionally exhausted, spiritually drained, and mentally overwhelmed?

This message speaks directly to:

Believers battling fear and anxiety
Christians feeling ineffective, discouraged, or spiritually stuck
Anyone wondering if their weakness disqualifies them from God’s purpose

You’ll discover:
✔ How fear works to silence God’s people
✔ Why emotional exhaustion often masquerades as spiritual failure
✔ God’s gentle, patient response to Elijah’s breakdown
✔ How Jesus restores strength, clarity, and purpose
✔ Practical, biblical truth for overcoming anxiety through faith

If you’ve ever felt like Elijah: afraid, tired, isolated, or ready to give up, then this message is for you. God does not shame us in our fear. He meets us there and leads us forward.
