The Prayer Of A Godly Person
Is Powerful.
Things Happen Because Of It.
 
The prayer of a godly person is powerful! There are people who tell us that they pray for Kathy and I everyday.  We are so grateful to hear that these godly people are praying for us.

Scripture

James 5:16

¹⁶ So confess your sins to one another. Pray for one another so that you might be healed. The prayer of a godly person is powerful. Things happen because of it. (NIRV)

¹⁶ Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results. ¹⁷ Elijah was as human as we are, and yet when he prayed earnestly that no rain would fall, none fell for three and a half years! ¹⁸ Then, when he prayed again, the sky sent down rain and the earth began to yield its crops. (NLT)

Observation

The prayer of a godly person is powerful! There are people who tell us that they pray for Kathy and I everyday.  We are so grateful to hear that these godly people are praying for us.
A godly person is not someone who is perfect. No, it is a person who knows that he or she is a sinner and in humility walks in a close relationship with God. 

An ungodly person is someone who lets sin reign in his or her life. Allowing some sin or sins to take Christ’s place on the throne of his or her heart. 

It is the prayers of the godly that are powerful and it is their prayers that produce wonderful results.

A movie comes to theaters in a few days called “War Room”! If you are a Christ follower then this is a must see movie for you! Our entire church needs to see this movie! Every church in America needs to see this movie! Kathy and I got to go to a free pre-screening of the movie and we loved it. Don’t miss it!

Application

I will keep my sins confessed and my relationship to God close so my prayers are effective. How about you?

Prayer

Heavenly Father, I pray as King Hezekiah prayed 2 Kings 19:15-16, “O Lord, God of Israel, you are enthroned between the mighty cherubim! You alone are God of all the kingdoms of the earth. You alone created the heavens and the earth. Bend down, O Lord, and listen! Open your eyes, O Lord, and see!”

 Thank You for hearing the prayers of the godly. Help me stay close to You. You are the Lord my God and nothing is too hard for You. Encourage those who are down today. Show them Your power and might. Answer their prayers. Make their plans successful. Give them the desires of their hearts.
