Elijah – A man just like us: Part 8. Elijah prays for rain

This is the 8th message of a 10 part series and was recorded at Church of Christ the King in Brighton, UK on 14th June 2009. It is taken from 1 Kings 18:41-46.

Elijah withdrew from the crowd, as did Jesus. Do you get closed in with God?

Our prayers, based on God’s promises, give us great grounds for asking! Are you laying hold of His promises? He has appointed us to be askers! Be specific.

Elijah prayed fervently. Do you? Don’t lose the reality that prayer is the active exercise of a personal relationship.

Elijah prayed with importunity. Although our requests may not receive instant answers, He knows what we need and what we can handle. Stay tenacious!
