How long will you halt between two opinions? That is the question Elijah boldly put before the people of Israel — and it may be the question God is putting before you today.

How are the mighty fallen — and what can we learn from the life of one of the greatest prophets in Scripture?

Why does God sometimes let us face our lowest moments right after our greatest victories? What does Elijah's journey teach me about my own faith walk today?In this first part of the series "How Are the Mighty Fallen," Pastor Webster walks us through three powerful moments in Elijah's ministry:- Elijah declares a drought and God's word comes to pass exactly as spoken- Ravens miraculously bring bread and meat to Elijah at the Brook Cherith- A widow's barrel of meal and cruse of oil never run out, just as God promised- The widow's dead son is raised back to life after Elijah cries out to GodThese were real, documented victories — and yet, as Pastor Webster reminds us, the story is not finished.

Are you using every method available to spread the gospel?

Are you clean enough for God to truly use you? In this Words From The Word devotion, Pastor Roderick Webster continues in 2 Timothy 2:20–22 (KJV) and shows the two conditions every vessel of honor must meet: being available, and being clean.Using Philip's example in Acts 8 — ready to leave a thriving revival for the lonely desert road — and David's prayer in Psalm 51:10, Pastor Webster reminds us that God can use anyone, but He requires a purged, purified heart. Wrong associations, sinful habits, and anything contrary to His will must be removed before we're "meet for the master's use."Maybe you've been asking God to use you in a bigger way, but nothing seems to be opening up. Maybe you're carrying guilt over something you know isn't right, wondering if that disqualifies you. This devotion shows what Scripture says about becoming — and staying — a vessel of honor.You might be asking:- Why does God require me to be "clean" before He'll use me?- What are "wrong associations," and do I really need to remove them?- Can God still use me if I've messed up recently?- What does it mean to be "prepared unto every good work"?Key points from this devotion:- Every vessel God uses must first be available — ready for anything, ready for anywhere- Every vessel God uses must also be clean — purged from sin and wrong associations- Isaiah, David, and Philip each show what it looks like to be prepared for God's use- Confession and cleansing come before God says, "Go tell this people"If this devotion encouraged you, like, comment, share, and subscribe so you never miss a word from Words From The Word.#WordsFromTheWord #KJV #ChristianLiving #2Timothy #GoodNewsBaptistChurch

Can someone actually see my availability in my daily life?Key points from this devotion:- To be sanctified means to be set apart and available for God's holy purpose- Being "meet for the master's use" means being ready for whatever He calls you to do- God needs vessels who are available — in words, in action, and in willingness to go- It can be lonely in ministry when few step up, but your availability matters deeply- When life is over, you will be glad you made yourself available to serve the LordIf this devotion encouraged you, please like, leave a comment, share it with a friend, and subscribe so you never miss a new episode.#WordsFromTheWord #KJV #BibleDevotion #ChristianLiving #HolySpiritStay connected with GNBC:

Are you the vessel God is looking for right now? In this devotion from Words From The Word, Pastor Roderick Webster opens 2 Timothy 2:20 and 2 Kings 4:1-7 (KJV) to show us that God is not looking for perfect vessels — He is looking for empty, available ones.You might be asking: Why would God want to use someone like me?
