The Scriptures tell us that Elijah [a man like us all] did ask God to stop the rain for 3 years and 6 months, and it happened just as he asked God.

“Elijah was a man with a nature like ours [with the same physical, mental, and spiritual limitations and shortcomings], and he prayed intensely for it not to rain, and it did not rain on the earth for three years and six months.
Then he prayed again, and the sky gave rain and the land produced its crops [as usual].” James 5:17-8 AMP.

The Scripture does not say that God told Elijah to pray to stop the rain, but it says that Elijah prayed himself and believed God to answer his prayer.

Does this not teach us about the Power of Prayer?

Is such a power available to us all?

What a Weapon of Warfare! For sure if prayer can stop up heaven, then what power to fight the good fight!

I believe Elijah prayed to stop the rain for a long period to bring the enemy down to desperation.

The fact is, Israel was under Ahab the wicked king and his wife Jezebel, the promoter of the worship of Baal in the groves [a most horrible form of wickedness which called for people to go into a grove of trees and have sex as a act of worship with whores.].

Ahab allowed the groves and the wicked Baal worship, and Jezebel rammed it down the throat of all who believed in God in Israel.

Elijah was so moved, he prayed God would shut up heaven to stop them short of their wickedness.

If it stopped raining for that length of time, would it not stop the evil?

If people start going hungry and the times hard, will not that hurt?

Fact is, Elijah was blessed by The LORD and it happened just that way, which led the way to destroy the wicked Baal Prophets, and restore True Worship in the land.

Would it not be in order to pray for it not to rain for 3½ years on the head of the wicked and ungodly king and his promoters in America who are working day and night to destroy God and all his people?

Well, what if someone like Elijah did pray that way?

Heaven and earth can be moved by prayer!

The devil who thinks he is so wonderful and going out to destroy all will be brought down. He is a wimp when one rises up and moves in Faith and prays to stop him!
