Hi, I'm Robert Jeffress and I'm glad to serve as your Bible teacher every day on this great radio station on today's edition of Pathway to Victory.

God is the one who changes the world, but He does it through us.

Isn't that what Philippians 2 13 says for it is God who is at work within you, giving you the power and the desire to do His will.

God is working through you to be that change agent in the world.

Welcome to Pathway to Victory with author and pastor Dr. Robert Jeffress.

You know at times we are painfully short-sighted.

The responsibilities that fill our day tend to overshadow our long-term goals and aspirations.

But God has a much bigger plan for us than simply surviving one more day.

Today on Pathway to Victory, Dr. Robert Jeffress shares three foundational beliefs

that can help us become true world changers.

Now here's our Bible teacher to introduce today's message.

Dr. Jeffress?

Thanks David and welcome again to Pathway to Victory.

Today and throughout the rest of the month, we're learning about an Old Testament prophet who modeled strength in a culture that openly defied Godly values.

Elijah was his name and Elijah provides inspiration for a Saul.

I've titled this series Choosing the Extraordinary Life.

To help you, I've written a best-selling book by the same title.

This isn't a dry historical study of Elijah's ancient life.

My book addresses the practical lessons we've learned from his courage and wisdom.

In my book I'll help you discover your unique purpose.

I'll teach you how to handle the inevitable bad days in your life and how to wait on God's timing.

Plus, I'll also include a new Life Application Guide with practical tools to help you get the most of what you read.
