Prayer Warrior

James 5:13-18

You can learn a lot about prayer from the prophet Elijah. In his message today, Pastor Bill shares how every Christian church should be praying like Elijah, which rarely is the case. Elijah was a fervent man of prayer; he was passionate, emotional, sincere and intense. His style wasn't a quick 15-second prayer. He was down on his knees, in his prayer closet, spending considerable time praying. Have you ever asked, "why is the Lord not answering my prayers"? Perhaps try praying like Elijah and with faith, you can move a mountain.

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.
