The Bible tells the Story of Elijah who after 3 years of
famine is confronting King Ahab of Israel who had deviated from the
plan God had for his chosen people, and was leading the country in the worship
of the false god of fertility, “Baal”. 450
prophets of Baal were not able to get their god to produce fire to burn up the
sacrifice they were presenting. But the
God of Elijah sent fire from Heaven that burned up the sacrifice, the alter,
and the water that had been poured over it.
The people then proclaimed the Living God to be the true God. Before the day was over all the prophets of
Baal had been killed, and the people had a fresh opportunity to worship the
true God.
All the ooey, gooey, yummy food choices that present
themselves to us on a daily basis, can become the prophets of Baal that will
lead us to worship the false god of appetite. Starting here, I will share recipes that can
help us to Kill the Prophets of Baal.
