TEXT JAMES 5:17-18
THE PREVAILING POWER OF PRAYER.
[17]Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months.
[18]And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit.
Beloved, when we examine the exploits of Elijah, it often looks out of this world.
It is as if it was not done by a human being, but the book of James encourages us that if we can pray like Elijah, we can do the exploits that he did.
The life of Elijah demonstrated to us the very limits of what a human being can command to happen on earth.
His prayers suspended the rain from dropping from heaven for three years and six months.
When he prayed for rain, the earth received rain.
Beloved, what the Holy spirit wants us to learn from the life of Elijah is that if you can tarry in prayer, even our present storm would soon give way to a bright sunshine.
Our Lord Jesus prevailed over the forces of nature controlling this world by the force of prayer.
You too will dominate your world if you can pray.
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)
