S3E175 – 1 Kings 19-22: Hearing From God

In this powerful episode of Lifespring! One Year Bible Rewind, Steve Webb explores 1 Kings 19-22 through the lens of 'hearing from God,' revealing a profound truth: divine revelation often comes not in thunderous displays, but in the still, small voice. The episode opens with Elijah’s dramatic collapse after his victory over the prophets of Baal—fleeing for his life, exhausted, and begging God to take his life. Yet God doesn’t confront him with fire or earthquake; instead, He meets Elijah in quietness at Mount Horeb, reminding us that spiritual breakthroughs require stillness, humility, and a hunger to hear God above all else. The narrative then shifts to the tragic downfall of King Ahab and Jezebel, whose corruption leads to murder, deception, and divine judgment—yet even in judgment, God offers mercy, delaying punishment due to Ahab’s repentance. The climax comes with Micaiah’s prophetic warning: God allows a lying spirit to deceive false prophets because Ahab chose to follow evil. The episode closes with a deeply personal tribute to Steve’s wife, Leanne, whose faith, sacrifice, and love embody the Proverbs 31 woman—her birthday celebration underscoring the real-life impact of godly character. This episode is not just a Bible study—it’s an invitation to listen, humble oneself, and recognize that God speaks most clearly when we stop running, stop striving, and simply wait.
