Make your petition deep, O heart of mine, your God can do much more than you ask. Launch out on the Divine, Draw from his love-filled store. Trust Him with everything. Begin today, and find the joy that comes when Jesus has His way.
We must continue to pray and "wait for the Lord" (Isaiah 8:17), until we hear the sound of His mighty rain. There is no reason why we should not ask for great things. Without a doubt, we will receive them if we ask in faith, having the courage to wait with patient perseverance for Him and meanwhile doing those things that are within our power to do.
Can't the same great wonders be done today that were done many years ago? Where is the God of Elijah? He is waiting for today's Elijah call on him.
The greatest Old or New Testament saints who ever lived were on a level that is quite within our reach. The same spiritual force that was available to them, and the energy that enabled them to become our spiritual heroes, are also available to us. If we exhibit the same faith, hope, and love they exhibited, we will achieve miracles as great as theirs. A simple prayer from our mouths will be powerful enough to call down from heaven God's gracious dew or the melting fire of his Spirit, just as the words from Elijah's mouth called down literal rain and fire. All that is required is to speak the words with the same complete assurance of faith with which he spoke.
