Prayer is Powerful & Effective.... Reflecting on James 5:16-18 (12.31.17)

The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective. Elijah was a man just like us. 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

Faith Believers,
Prayer is powerful because GOD is powerful, 

     and prayer is the means through which that Divine Power
     is released and channeled into our lives.
In other words, all the power in prayer is really God’s Power,
     activated by prayer.

When you pray for another person, there is nothing that flows from you to them – no vibes, no force, no energy. Instead, your prayers go Heavenward, and the power of GOD moves from Our Father, to those you are praying for.

When the Bible says “prayer…is powerful and effective,” it means that GOD acts powerfully and effectively through the prayers of his people. Prayer is the instrument by which GOD has chosen to have His Power directed in the universe. This power is so rich and so mobile that all we have to do, when we pray, is to point to the persons or things to which we desire to have this power applied; and He, the Lord of this Power, will direct the necessary power to the desired place. What an arrangement - GOD partnering with human beings to accomplish His purposes!

Prayer is the key that unlocks all the storehouses of GOD’s Infinite Grace and Power. All that GOD is, and has, can be brought forward through prayer.

Prayer can move mountains.
It can change human hearts, families, neighborhoods,
     cities, and nations.
It is the ultimate source of power, because it is
      the power of Almighty GOD.

This power is available to all who come before Our Father
     and give their life to Him.

Where will the power of your prayers be felt today?
