Fire from heaven. Suicidal despair. The same prophet.

When fire from heaven meets suicidal despair, what does it reveal about God's power? Everything.

Elijah called down fire from heaven, defeating 450 prophets of Baal in Scripture's most dramatic showdown. Yet within hours, this same prophet fled in terror, collapsed in depression, and begged God to let him die. How could such prophetic power coexist with such personal pain?

The Spirit and Power of Elijah: Prophetic Power, Personal Pain, and Profound Purpose explores how God's pneuma (breath) and dunamis (power) work through broken vessels. This honest examination reveals that prophetic authority and personal struggle are not contradictions. They are companions on the journey of authentic ministry.

Through Elijah's mountaintop victories and wilderness defeats, you will discover how to navigate the crash that follows spiritual breakthrough, hear God's whisper when His fire seems silent, lead powerfully while embracing your humanity, and finish well despite feeling finished.

For pastors battling burnout, ministry leaders hiding their struggles, and believers questioning their calling, this book offers liberating truth: your weakness is not your disqualification. It is often your doorway to deeper intimacy with God and greater effectiveness in His kingdom.

You do not have to be perfect to be powerfully used by God. Brokenness is not the end of your calling. It is often the beginning of something deeper.
