📖 "Elijah was a human being with a nature such as we have [with feelings, affections, and a constitution like ours]; and he prayed earnestly for it not to rain, and no rain fell on the earth for three years and six months. And [then] he prayed again and the heavens supplied rain and the land produced its crops [as usual]." -James 5:17-18 Amplified Bible Classic Edition
Elijah was human just like us. He dealt with feelings, emotions and affections just like we do. Even though he was like us, he was still able to do mighty things through prayer. He prayed, and the rain ceased. When he prayed again, it rained again. A man was able to influence the weather. Elijah was not a child of God. He was not born again, and he was not a new covenant believer. He was simply a man who walked with God. Elijah was a man who co-labored with God and had influence with Him. Did you know that we can operate on that same level with God? As we develop a relationship with God and become established on what belongs to us, we can expect to go to a higher dimension and level in God. At this level, we can pray and EXPECT God to answer. It does not matter how big the problem is, God always has an answer. There is nothing too big for Him! Selah.
