God had provided us with an answer to every problem we face in this life. In this story of Elijah God gives us His remedy for overcoming depression.
In our last message, we were forced to leave Elijah in the depths of despair. We last saw the prophet sitting under a juniper tree, asking God to take his life. The mighty prophet of God is discouraged and depressed. He has been used mightily of the Lord and he had expected a great revival to come ...read more

It would be nice to think we Christians didn't have dark days, that discouragement came only to other people, that we can just go ahead and tough it out, that everyone will understand us and help us get through those dark times.
ELIJAH’S DEPRESSION Today’s message is personal. I must confess that I have been treated for depression for 16-17 years. It is caused by, or so they say, a chemical imbalance in my body. It is a terrible disease and I have said many times that I would rather have some serious physical ...read more

Number one in a series looking at the imagery in the modern Hymn These are the days of Elijah, looking at Elijah and being faithful to the word of God.
Introduction These are the days of Elijah. It’s a popular modern hymn. Sorry, but I refuse to call a song a chorus when it has two verses and a chorus just because it was written later than the 18th century. But anyway its quite a popular modern hymn. However, as with so many of our hymns and ...read more

God wants to empower your life with the Holy Spirit. Elijah and Elisha illustrate how this can happen for you.
The life of Elijah has been a whirlwind of activity! From the time he stepped out of nowhere to confront the king of Israel, to his adventures of faith at the dry brook and the widow’s house, to his great victory on Mount Carmel and to his fall into and restoration from defeat and disuse. Elijah’s ...read more

Mountain top experiences are there for a reason. They are not just moments of Epiphany or pleasure; they can be needed prior to a painful time. Also notice how many coincidences in this short passage and what that means for us.

A look at the dangers of depression, and what God has done to help us in our times of emotional overload.
Humor: Have you ever heard this expression, "It’s enough to make a preacher cuss." It reminds me of story about little boy trying to sell a lawn mower. The local pastor walked up and he was able to persuade him to buy the worn out lawn mower. The pastor pulled on the rope several times to make sure ...read more

Dealing with despair...moving from fear to faith
"Disappointed With God" Rev Dr Robert G Leroe We see quite a contrast between chapters 18 & 19!

From his mountain top experience he ...read more
