If God is in control, why does your life still feel broken, hidden, delayed, or under attack? In this 4-part series, Dr. Michael Youssef turns to the inerrant Word of God and the life of Elijah to show that the Lord is never absent, confused, or defeated. He hides His servants to prepare them, calls one obedient believer to stand with courage, teaches His people to bring their “why” questions to Him in prayer, and strengthens faith through obedience and intercession. This series calls believers to repent of fear, unbelief, and divided loyalty, and to trust the divine Lord Jesus Christ, who reigns sovereignly even when life looks like a mess.

In this second message of the series, Dr. Michael Youssef declares that one obedient believer, surrendered to the living God, can be used mightily for His Kingdom. Elijah’s journey from the dried brook to Zarephath shows that God’s sovereign plan often looks illogical to human eyes, yet His inerrant Word never fails. The Lord sent Elijah into Baal’s territory to teach him, and a desperate widow, that little plus God equals much. This episode calls believers to repent of fear, unbelief, and self-reliance, to intercede with bold faith, and to risk everything on the promises of God. Even when life looks like a mess, the divine Lord Jesus Christ reigns and provides.
