In this sermon, the preacher discusses the story of Elijah and his confrontation with Jezebel. He emphasizes the supernatural power that was upon Elijah as he ran across the Jezreel Valley to confront Jezebel. The preacher also highlights the importance of having our thoughts, emotions, and feelings under the authority of the Holy Spirit. He mentions that the spirit of Jezebel is not only prevalent in the world but also in the church, particularly in congregations that are on the cutting edge and preaching the word of God. The preacher then references the New Testament, specifically Revelation 2:18, where Jesus addresses the church at Thyatira and mentions the works, love, service, faith, and patience of the church.

Anton Bosch preaches about the common experience of feeling discouraged, tired, and frustrated in the spiritual journey, drawing parallels to moments of despair in the lives of biblical figures like Elijah, Paul, and Jesus. He emphasizes that becoming discouraged is not a sin, but how we handle it determines victory or defeat. The sermon highlights the options when feeling disheartened - turning back, stopping, or pressing on - and stresses the importance of not turning back to a life of sin or gracefully bowing out of the race, but instead continuing to move forward in faith and perseverance towards the goal of eternal life in Christ.
