Pray Like Elijah

" Don't carry your yesterday into your today, that will most likely affect your tomorrow."

So I went to the "Concert of Prayer" on saturday and I tell you it was amazing seeing over 200 people all on one accord serving God all in the same room praying and worshiping the King.

Now one of the speakers talked about James 5:14-18. He brought out so many great points, but verses  16-18 stood out to me. It says 16. There confess your sins to each other and pray fo reach other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective. 17. Elijah was a human being , even ae we are. He prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the land for three and a half years. 18. Again he prayed, and the heaens gave rain, and the earth produced its crops.


If we would start be like Elijah and be bold and prayed up then will what we are looking for from God will appear in our paths.  The speaker also talked about Elijah digging a trench dip enough to fill it up with Four Barrels of water three time each. Wow, that is a total of 12 times that water was pured into the trench that Elijah had dug. Sometimes when we ask God for something we just sit on our butts, and wait thinking its just going to fall out of the sky. Just like I mentioned before Elijah prayed earnestly that it would not rain. Come to find out it didn't rain on the land for three and a half years. We must have faith and believe that when we go to God for something in prayer that it will happen, but here it the thing, " in the mean time continue to do God's work and more until the time comes of your answered pray.


Remember This: "How ever deep is your trench, so shall be your harvest"
