TEXT : JAMES 5:16-18
PRAYER, A MAJOR KEY TO RECOVERY
"..... The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
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.
And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit."
Beloved, there is no doubt that prayer changes things, people and geographical locations, but it's not every type of prayer that can achieve this.
The type of prayer that can achieve this is the effectual and fervent prayer of a righteous man.
The word effectual in Greek means active, efficient and operative.
There is something that this kind of prayer does to the soul of a man.
It changes the structure of a man's soul.
If it does not, you can have a praying witch/wizard.
But if a man's soul is reconstructed, the man now operates in the class of a god.
Prayer doesn't change God, it changes men.
One of your greatest prayer for this year is that my soul should be reconstructed to reflect the image of the resurrected Christ.
When this happens, you will see that you will no longer need to pray for things.
Remember the fasting & prayers.
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)
