NO PRAYER IS PRAYER WITHOUT THE WORD!
"Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months." (James 5:17, KJV) The effectual fervent prayer of the righteous availeth much. And what makes your prayer effective is not your good command over the English language. Neither is it in your eloquence, but it is ONLY by the word of God. You can pray all your nice prayers, but without THE WORD, your prayers would not carry any weight. For God does nothing outside His word. The mistake most believers make is to spend so many hours praying (which is not a bad thing in itself), but little or no time in the word. So all their prayers are full of mere words and not THE WORD. All God can hear is their plenty talk and less of His (God) word. Pray without ceasing, but also let the word of Christ dwell in you RICHLY to make prayer effective. Elijah was a man like you and I, as he prayed by THE WORD, there was no rain. Pray the word! AB@TWD
