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, sometimes God has something better plan for us that we could never even imagine,

but we need to wait until God says it's time.

And that was true for Elijah.

Elijah experienced a waiting time to prepare him for a greater mission.

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

Perhaps you feel like life is on pause, and you're waiting for someone to press that play button once again.

Those times of waiting, they can be frustrating, but they can also be immensely fruitful.

Today on Pathway to Victory, Dr. Robert Jeffress shows how God used the time of waiting in Elijah's life for good.

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

Dr. Jeffress, thanks David, and welcome again to Pathway to Victory as we continue our teaching series called Choosing the Extraordinary Life.

It's based on the study of one of the greatest prophets of all time, Elijah.

Now to help you dig deeper into this topic, I've written a best-selling book for you.

The subtitle of my book Choosing the Extraordinary Life is God's seven secrets for success and significance.

If you happen to have a copy of my book already, make sure to request one for a friend or family member.

Many are choosing to use this book in their small group Bible study or Sunday school class.

And my book is perfect for that because it comes with a life application guide with questions to get conversations started.

When you give a generous gift to support the Ministry of Pathway to Victory, I'll make sure these resources are sent to your home.

In just a little over two months, we'll be departing the USA bound for the land where Elijah's story unfolded.

And I'm hoping you'll join me in this life-changing tour of Israel.

The dates for the Pathway to Victory tour of Israel are April 25th through May 5th.

Along the way, I'm going to show you some of the sites where Elijah performed his amazing miracles, including the spot where he called down fire from heaven.
