Good morning my dear friends in Christ!

"Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much." - James 5:13-20

Elijah fervently prayed. Fervent means a hot burning passion for prayer. Jeremiah prayed this type of prayer. He said, “Oh that my head were waters, and mine eyes a fountain of tears, that I could weep day and night.” Jeremiah, of course, was burdened over a backslidden Jerusalem (see Jeremiah 9:1).

George Whitefield could pray, “God give me souls or take my own.” He could preach in Philadelphia till his voice was gone, and when the invitation was extended he could... #D4Ldevotion #D4L

How precious this is. I never knew about George Whitefield. Can you imagine saying to God:

“God give me souls or take my own.”

And to preach sooo long that you lose your voice, and then at the invitation to wave the audience forward.

What precious precious men of God these men were.

They epitomized the verse referenced.

Thank you for this wunnerful study and meditation today.

Precious.

God bless you.

Good morning to you Brinny. It was a very bold prayer and i think God blessed him for the prayer. Hope you have a blessed Tuesday!

Yes it was. And i agree...i sense that God blessed him for such a prayer. And it encourages us to do the same.

A very blessed Tuesday to you too :)
