Prayer That Works

Does prayer really make a difference? James 5:16 tells us that the prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective. But how do we pray in a way that truly works? Is there a difference between routine prayers and the kind that call down fire from heaven, bring healing, and transform lives?

Scripture is filled with examples of prayer that moves the hand of God. Elijah’s bold prayer on Mount Carmel wasn’t passive—it was expectant, unwavering, and filled with faith. When he prayed, God responded in a miraculous display of power. In James 5, we see another kind of effective prayer—prayer that brings healing, restoration, and reconciliation within the body of Christ. The Bible shows us that prayer is not just words; it’s an act of faith that connects us to the power and presence of God.

Join us as we rediscover what it means to pray with conviction, seek God with sincerity, and trust Him to do what only He can do.
