Praying in the Spirit of Elijah
Our third challenge to prayer is Praying in the Spirit like Elijah did! Elijah was an incredible man, so much so that many Christians are inclined to look upon him as a kind of spiritual superhero. * He was called, chosen and used by God. * He lived a very full and fruitful life of ministry for God; * When his ministry was ended, God personally sent a special Heavenly escort to take him home to heaven without his dying. * About 800 years later, God sent Elijah back to earth to visit the Lord Jesus Christ on a mountain. * In the future some interpretations of prophecy, see Elijah on earth for a short time just prior to the Second Coming of Christ. * Elijah is often set apart from ordinary servants of the Lord. That is wrong. In the Book of James we read: 'Elijah was a man subject to like passions as we are' (5:17). He was, after all, a human being like the rest of us. He had emotions and problems; he experienced the same ups and downs in his life that all of us face. The Amplified Bible says, 'Elijah was a human being with a nature such as we have.' We need to see like Elijah did, that prayer is powerful. We need to pray at all times. There is so much that will never happen in your life and mine apart from fervent and focused prayer!
