The Bible describes Elijah’s prayer as serious, sincere, and “continuous.” His petition was marked by perseverance. Many battles are lost because we stop too soon instead of persisting in prayer.

And Elijah said to Ahab, ‘Go up, eat and drink, for there is the sound of abundance of rain.’“ (1 Kings 18:41). I have seen people receive anointed Words like the one above but fail to do what Elijah did. When the prophecy they received didn’t come to pass, they wondered what went wrong. Well, […]
