Key Scripture:
Joshua 6:3-5; Ephesians 3:20;
Introduction:
In the generation before the birth of Christ there was a great drought. Only one Jewish prophet was left and he was known for prayer. No Word from God had come to the Jews for over one hundred years. They went to the prophet and asked him to pray for rain. As he began to pray he took a staff and began to draw a massive circle. Then he dropped to his knees and began to pray with great authority---declaring he would not move from that circle until God blessed the land with rain. History records that almost immediately, raindrops started descending as the prayers were ascending. Sprinkles of rain came. While the people were amazed, the prophet was not moved by a few sprinkles. He asked for so much rain that the people would know God had moved. He prayed one last prayer---not for mere rain, but for favor on God’s people, as the rain steadied and continued for days. The drought was over and the crisis was averted. Jewish history records that the power of one man’s prayer saved a generation.
God wants us to pray great prayers. Believe for the big things and place those in your circle.
Key Points:
Final Thoughts:
Pray bold prayers of faith. God still answers prayers and always will. He still speaks and He still moves. Draw a circle around whatever you are believing for and start praying. Don’t stop praying until the rain starts to fall. God hears your prayers and the prayers of righteous man or woman still availeth much (James 5:16). Pray BOLD prayers of faith believing for great things!! Put your loved ones in that prayer circle and pray as if you were desperate for rain.
