TOPIC : THE CREATIVE POWER OF PRAYER
TEXT : JAMES 5:17-18
16. The earnest (heartfelt, continued) prayer of a righteous man makes tremendous power available [dynamic in its working].
17. Elijah was a human being with a nature such as we have [with feelings, affections, and a constitution like ours]; and he prayed earnestly for it not to rain, and no rain fell on the earth for three years and six months.
18. And [then] he prayed again and the heavens supplied rain and the land produced its crops [as usual].
The scriptures we just read stated that Elijah shut the heavens for three and half years and there was no rain.
He latter changed his mind and opened the heavens.
This man was controlling the creations of God like a god. These are elements that predate his creation.
He ruled creation like a god.
I listen to many believers who are excited about shutting the heaven for five hours when they celebrated a wedding.
They share it as a huge testimony and gloat about such great a miracle.
The bible said that Elijah was a man just like us, but that he prayed excessively and he had all he demanded in prayer.
He stopped the rain for three and half years and he did not have zoe because Christ had not yet come.
How can you carry God inside of you and still be a puppet in the hand of dark forces.
Wake up and live up to the stature of the Christ in you.
After today, no witch should be able to operate around your domain.
Begin to execute them by the weapon of your mouth.
God bless you.
With the God I serve, nothing shall be impossible.
Your case is not bigger than God.
May you have a God filled day in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
Your Victory is already guaranteed
It is well, do not give up, with God all things are possible
(Please be a blessing to seven persons by sending to them devotionals)
