“Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective. Elijah was a human being, even as we are. He prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the land for three and a half years. Again he prayed, and the heavens gave rain, and the earth produced its crops.” -James 5:16-18
We get to partner with God in prayer to move things on earth through power from heaven! God allows us to work with Him in prayer to see the work of God move forward in the world. His mighty hand is more powerful than all the forces of earth combined and that power is available to you in prayer.
When you get stuck and all your effort is not enough or your best strategies don’t get you there, you especially need to be reminded that prayer can move what you cannot!
The Bible tells us that the prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective (v.16). Righteousness is not based on our works, but received by the grace of God as we place our faith in Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior. We are covered in the righteousness of Christ through God‘s amazing grace!
However, we are still commanded to live a righteous lifestyle. When we choose to live righteously inside the righteousness of Christ, prayer is incredibly powerful and effective.
The strength of heaven is accessible to us through prayer no matter what adversity is against us here on earth! Never lose sight of the immeasurable power of prayer when accessed by faith in the mighty strength of God!
There’s no problem too big to prayer through and no amount of obstacles too many to find your way through by prayer!
Make the decision to partner with God in prayer as you live a righteous life in Him! Then watch Him do more than you could have ever accomplished in your own power!
Right on?
Read/listen to James chapter 5 and 1 Peter chapters 1-2
Prayer focus: thank God that He hears you when you talk to Him and then prayer about the important things on your mind with faith that God can do something about it
