Effective, Fervent Prayer

I Kings 18:36-46

July 4, 2019 • Bill Gehm

Elijah was just a man, a human being born of human parents, just like you. He isn't described as being better looking than anyone else. There's no defining features that set him apart from any other person in his time. But, Elijah was different! Pastor Bill will tell you today that Elijah believed fully in the work and power of His Creator, so much so that he was willing to walk toward the unknown with no reservations. Elijah trusted God, and willingly did the work needed to witness the miraculous!

Elijah's story shows the remedy for depression by way of service to others. If you feel as if you've already experienced burnout this way, Pastor Bill encourages you in today's study. Spend 40 days of rest with the Lord and seek His voice afresh asking how you can serve Him. If a spiritual gift remains in your life to reach others, then the Lord is not finished with you. If you find yourself giving up on the Lord too soon, ask Him to provide more workers so that your spirit can find refreshment.

Have you told God all you want is an easy life? Well, as Pastor Bill points out in his message today, that's not God's plan for any of His children. As long as there are lost people who don't know about Jesus, there is work to do. God has a plan for you and has given you specific spiritual gifts to serve Him. His plan might not be your plan, but the Lord will prepare you for the work He has for you. Be a willing servant so that when someone comes to you asking for help, you are ready.

Have you ever shared a prayer request with a friend that you've never actually prayed for yourself? I know I am guilty of such. Today Pastor Bill shares how you can't just ask others to pray for you, you need to be right there on your knees lifting that prayer to the Lord. And not just a quick prayer in the car (although God does still hear these). Pastor Bill takes apart the Greek and shares that you should pray a prayer in prayer. There is a difference, a level of earnestness, and work involved that happens only on your knees in your prayer closet.
