The Earnest Prayer
Of A Righteous Person
Has Great Power And Produces Wonderful Results.
Scripture
The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results.
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.
Observation
Kathy and I went to visit a friend of ours last week that
is 81 years young. Her husband of 66 years passed away last year. She is now
very frail and has been in and out of the hospital over the past couple of
weeks.
I don’t think I have ever met anyone who prays like she
does. She is amazing.
She prays for us everyday. She prays for a lot of people
everyday. We saw her prayer list that her husband had made into a notebook for
her. It was humbling to talk to her about those she prays for.
There will be a special place in Heaven for our friend.
Her rewards will be great in the Kingdom of God.
Her pastor Dr. Tommy Green and his wife Karen have cared
for her as they would their own mother. Tommy’s success as a pastor is linked
to the powerful prayer warriors in his church. And our friend has to be at the
top of the list.
When we take time to visit people like our friend, it is
Kathy and I who walk away blessed.
Application
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, thank You for allowing us to know so many wonderful saints who live
such powerful lives. They are humble. It humbles us to be in their presence.
Help Kathy and I to be like them.
