AMPLIFIED 2015 | James 5:17 Elijah was a man with a nature like ours [with the same physical, mental, and spiritual limitations and shortcomings], and he prayed intensely for it not to rain, and it did not rain on the earth for three years and six months. [1 Kin 17:1] |
Bible Question: Is this power through prayer available to us today? Note: Elijah was 'a man with a nature like ours'.. |
Bible Answer: Nolan, I say yes. But, we do not know how to pray. I think there is great fear when we pray so that our will is in concert with His. It takes great effort and time on our part to do so. Elijah was in concert with God. He spoke the word (1Ki 17:1) and waited for God to tell him when it was going to rain (18:1-2). Plus, we don't have the faith of a mustard seed (Mat 17:20). Steve |
