Strong passions

Strong passions

Jam. 5:17

ELIJAH [a prophet of God; who did not die -  but was ‘taken up in a whirlwind into heaven by a chariot of fire drawn by horses of fire’]

WAS A MAN SUBJECT TO LIKE PASSIONS AS WE ARE; [a mere human being affected by a nature such as we have with strong feelings, emotions, desires and affections]

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.

And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit.

Pray the Word:

Lord, If anything, Elijah wore his PASSIONS on his sleeve. His famous ups and downs, successes and failures [at times he spoke Your Word boldly and had instant results and at other times he doubted You] were driven to the highest of heights and the lowest of lows by his STRONG PASSIONS. Show us how to use our STRONG HUMAN PASSIONS balanced with our STRONG PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH YOU to the ‘pulling down of strongholds and everything that exalts itself against the knowledge of God’.
