In this episode, we delve into what many Christians recognise as the 'Chariot' experience, where God, quite unexpectedly, might close the door on the things we are most eager to accomplish. Join us as we explore the challenges and revelations that come with finding oneself in this spiritual wilderness.
Pastor Colin guides us through the story of Elijah, focusing on a pivotal yet often overlooked moment in his journey: his time at the 'Chariot'. This is not merely a place of isolation; rather, it is where invaluable spiritual formation occurs. It's where God 'hides' you, showing that he is still conspicuously at work even when our plans seem to stall.
Our discussion is based on the first chapter of the book of Kings, where Elijah experiences God's instruction to retreat rather than to advance. This might juxtapose with our understanding of progression in ministry, but as Pastor Colin articulates, such divine detours can lead to profound personal growth and prepare us for greater things ahead.
The narrative of Elijah is a powerful reminder that God not only leads but sustains us through our 'Chariot' phases. Whether currently in this place of spiritual preparation or facing it in the future, this message is both encouraging and equipping.
