The effectual prayer of the righteous - James 5:16… Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.
What does this word effectual means and why does this type of prayer has power?
The prayer of the effectual is a prayer of faith, which means someone of faith when they pray they pray with the power of faith, it’s the divine word of GOD. The prayer of faith is merely simply this that when we pray we fully believe that God will be true to all that He has promised. ”If ye abide in Me and My words abide in you” Elijah prayed out of a effectual consecrated heart to God.
The effectual prayer of the righteous availed much. God promised rain but Elijah had to pray for the rain to fall. And then again we see where Elijah prayed to keep the rain off. See the effectual prayer of the righteous is a person who brings God back to His word. As we see Elijah was very specific in his prayer to God and we too must be specific in our prayer to God for this is the prayer of faith.
When we pray we must be specific in our prayers, when we say Lord give me strength but give you strength in what? Be specific on what you need strength for? Or when we say Lord give me peace but peace in what? What do you need peace in? Be specific in your prayers. He already knows what you and I need, but we must tell Him just like Elijah did. God knew Elijah wanted rain but Elijah had to do his part and pray the prayer of faith.
God bless!
