James 5:17-18
17Elijah 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. 18Again he prayed, and the heavens gave rain, and the earth produced its crops.
A few weeks ago I had the privilege of seeing Benny Perez in person. He is the reason I'm in youth ministry, and a spiritual mentor of mine. Growing up under his ministry I saw God do some amazing things, yet he's just a man. It's easy to fall in love with a person, because we see God moving through them, and forget about the God that is moving. Here in James the Bible says that Elijah was a man just like us, yet when he prayed things happened. Jesus said in John 14: 12I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. 13And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Son may bring glory to the Father. 14You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it.
He was talking to all Christians who put their faith in Him, so what are you asking God for today?
