Prayer which gets answers (Part 1) / James 5

There is not just a ‘need of prayer’, but there’s a need for great power in prayer! Power, when we pray! I’m very specific when I pray, I bring very specific questions – and I get very strong answers.  I find it interesting in the Bible that when God was dealing with people, so many times He would meet them on the mountain – like He did with Moses on Mount Sinai and Elijah on Mount Carmel and Horeb. Even Jesus would come away from His disciples and go up the mountain to pray to His Father. I like to go 10,000 feet, 3000 metres, up the mountains – that’s high! However, I can’t honestly say that you are physically nearer to God the higher you go… He’s Spirit, He’s not ‘up there’! But I enjoy these special times of prayer. I used to go to the mountains once a year, but now I go twice a year – to Switzerland in the winter and to Austria in the summer. But whether on the mountain or in the valley, I need special times of prayer. And all my life, when I’ve come to the Lord in prayer with very strong objectives, I’ve received powerful and unusual answers!
