Elijah was a man just like us. He prayed earnestly. James 5:17 NIV
Elijah did something we keep forgetting to do. When things got tough he recalled what God had assigned him to do: announce the end of a drought and the beginning of rain. What has God called you to do? Pull it up on your screen and start doing it. What has He promised you? Begin speaking it over your life. Learn from Elijah:
First, “He bent down to the ground, and put his face between his knees” (1 Kings 18:42 NIV). He deliberately positioned himself not to see his surroundings. Smart move! Hang up the phone. Turn off the TV. Lock the door. Get alone with God. He has your answers.
Next, he refused to give up. Six times his servant came back to say, “There’s no rain. Not even a cloud.” But Elijah persisted in prayer and told his servant to go look again. This time he came back to say, “I see a cloud like a man’s hand.” Next we read “There was a great rain” (1 Kings 18:45 AMP).
Here are 3 important things you need to remember today.
(1) The greatest moments in your life will always come through prayer. God does things through prayer that He’ll do no other way.
(2) Instead of obsessing over your situation, start “factoring in” the God who can change it.
(3) If you don’t sense The Holy Spirit’s power in your life, it may be because you’ve left the place of prayer too soon. Commit yourself to “pray without ceasing,” and God will come through for you.
