Ever had an Elijah complex? Elijah was a 9th century prophet in Israel during the reign of King Ahab. At the darkest hour, God sent him to confront Ahab. There had been no rain for three years in Israel. Elijah had encountered the prophets of Baal on Mt. Carmel and killed all 850 of them before praying for rain. Ahab rushed to tell Jezebel with Elijah running along side. Jezebel\u2019s message to Elijah was, \u201cYou\u2019re going to die!\u201d Elijah sat under a broom tree and \u201cprayed that he might die. (I Kings 19:4)\u201d Elijah made three symptomatic statements and added an additional statement in verse 10, all describing an Elijah complex:<\/p>\n
\u2022 \u201cIt is enough.\u201d
\n\u2022 \u201cTake my life\u201d
\n\u2022 \u201cI am no better then my fathers\u201d
\n\u2022 \u201cI alone am left.\u201d<\/p>\n
Before the chapter is over there appears a cure for an Elijah complex. God told Elijah to get back to doing what he had been called to do.

How about you?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
