Regaining Your Bearings
Sunday, May 3, 2026 I 1 Kings 19:9–13 (NLT) When the greatest victory of your life is followed by the greatest threat against your life, what do you do? In this powerful message from 1 Kings 19, Bishop Dale Bronner shows us how God Himself restores a prophet who has lost his bearings — and how the same five movements God used to put Elijah back together are available to anyone whose soul has been shaken by trauma. Drawing on a striking metaphor from mechanical engineering — bearings as the components that reduce friction in everything that moves — Bishop Bronner introduces the word for the day: equanimity. He unpacks Elijah's four trauma responses (running, isolating, exhausting, despairing) and then walks through the five ways God restores him — by feeding the body, giving space to process, cutting through the chaos until a whisper can be heard, restoring purpose, and correcting distorted perspective. The message lands on a thunderous prophetic word for everyone who has been written off, delayed, or pronounced finished: "It's not going to end the way that it looks." If you have been thrown off balance — by loss, betrayal, a diagnosis, a death threat dressed up in different language — this message is a steadying word. 📖 Scripture References: 1 Kings 18 (background — Mount Carmel) 1 Kings 19:9–13 (the still small voice) 1 Kings 19:15–18 (anointing of Hazael, Jehu, Elisha; the seven thousand) 1 Corinthians 14:33 ("God is not the author of confusion, but of peace") Mark 4:35–41 (Jesus asleep in the storm) Romans 8:38–39 ("neither height nor depth…") Philippians 4:7 ("the peace that passes understanding") Hebrews 13:5 ("I will never leave you nor forsake you") Isaiah 30:21 ("This is the way; walk in it") We pray you are blessed by this message! 🔔 Subscribe for weekly messages, and share this with someone who needs a word today. 🌐 Website: www.woffamily.org 📲 Follow us on Instagram: @woffamily 📘 Facebook: @woffamily To support the ministry: Online: www.woffamily.org/give Text: Text "WOF" to 73256 Mail In: Word of Faith Family Worship Cathedral - 212 Riverside Pkwy, Austell, GA 30168 Sunday Services: In person 8:30 AM & 11:00 AM / Online @ 6:00 PM Church Address: 212 Riverside Pkwy Austell, GA 30168
