Introduction

Pastor Prince shares about his new 28-day devotional, Anchored: Finding Peace In The
Storms Of Life.
Life.

Itâ s a book that brings you into real contact with Jesus, and thatâ s when great things
happen: You receive your miracle, your body is healed, your mind receives peace.

It presents Biblical truths in an accessible way.


Itâ s a bath in Godâ s Word that will wash away any erroneous beliefs you might
have.
Weâ re believing that Godâ s going to deposit something new in you as you
read Anchored, and you wonâ t be the same after nishing it.

Every time you come to church, God deposits something new in you too. You leave
stronger, freer, healthier, more joyful.

Pastor Prince shares a testimony from a lady in Virginia, United States whose husband was
healed of Alzheimerâ s (an incurable disease till today) through standing on Godâ s
Word and regularly partaking of the Holy Communion after hearing messages from this
ministry on it.

Pastor Prince encourages the people to receive Godâ s Word for themselves every day,
just like the couple in the testimony did. This is as we face fresh battles daily that have to be
met with fresh manna from heaven daily, too. Thatâ s why Jesus said, "Give us this day
our daily bread" (Matt. 6:11), not weekly/monthly bread.

God can heal you of diseases like Alzheimerâ s and dementia. He can even reverse aging.

Pastor Prince shares about how God once corrected his idea of Him as a bearded old man.
God said, "Growing old is part of the curse after Adamâ s fall. In heaven, nobody is old."

God is forever young. And if we learn to walk with him, we can defy the aging that our
natural bodies are subject to as well. We can enjoy the blessings of Psalm 92, which is read
by Jews worldwide on the Sabbath:

The righteous shall ourish like the palm tree:


tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon. Those
that be planted in the house of the Lord shall ourish in the courts of our God. They shall
still bring forth fruit in old age;
age; they shall be fat and ourishing. â Psalm 92:12â 14
KJV

"Those
"Those that be planted in the house of the Lord shall ourish in the courts of our God"
â You will succeed in the world when youâ re rst rooted in church.

"They
"They shall still bring forth fruit in old age" â The Hebrew word for "old age"

"Fat
"Fat and ourishing" â "Fat" in the Hebrew means "full of sap," and " ourishing" means
"green."

You can pray prayers that impact heaven


and earth

"Elias
"Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might
not rain:
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."
â James 5:17â 18 KJV

"Elias"
"Elias" here refers to Elijah, the prophet of the hour when Israel was ruled by the corrupt
King Ahab and his wicked wife Jezebel. The whole nation was in rebellion against God:
Theyâ d forgotten how He previously delivered them from their Egyptian slave masters
and led them through the wilderness into the Promised Land. They were now worshipping
the idol Baal. And so Elijah prayed this prayer.

These two verses tell us that thereâ s a prayer all of us can pray that will affect heaven
and earth.
earth. This prayer is not just for a select few, because Elijah was "a man subject to like
passions as we are,
are," meaning that he was like any of us.

We pray not to soothe our emotions, but to bring heaven


to earth and get results.

In Elijahâ s case, his prayer literally affected the atmosphere: There was no rain for 3.5
years.

"He
"He prayed earnestly,"
earnestly," and Elijahâ s earnest prayer is found here:

"And
"And Elijah the Tishbite, of the inhabitants of Gilead, said to Ahab, 'As
'As the LORD God of
Israel lives, before whom I stand,
stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, except at my
word.'"Â â 1 Kings 17:1 NKJV

"Ass the LORD God of Israel lives, before whom I stand" â


"A Elijah wasnâ t afraid of
King Ahab because Elijah lived his life before God. Neither will you fear manâ s opinions
or their criticism when God becomes your primary source of encouragement and strength.

Your prayers have results when you know your influence


with God

God is delighted when you know you have in uence with Him, and Jacob in the Bible was
one such man who knew. He told God, after wrestling with Him from night till daybreak, "I
will not let You go unless You bless me!" (Gen. 32:26). Jacobâ s heart was in the right
place.

Then, the Lord changed his name from Jacob (which means grabber, deceiver, manipulator)
to Israel (which means "prince of God").

"And
"And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou
power with God"
God" â Gen. 32:28 KJV

When did Jacob have power with God, and get his prayer for God to bless him answered?
When God touched the socket of Jacobâ s hip and he became helpless. When Jacob was
struggling with his human strength, God wanted to leave.

God could not leave.

helpless.

He helps you when you say, "I canâ t overcome this e.g. addiction to pornography,
smoking, temper problem...but You can. Iâ m looking to You."

Donâ t be like the world where everyoneâ s looking to their own smarts and abilities.
The faster you stop trusting in that, the faster you have in uence with God and take on
your identity in Himâ like Jacob did.

Earnest prayer is simply a proclamation of


faith

"And
"And Elijah the Tishbite, of the inhabitants of Gilead, said to Ahab, 'As
'As the LORD God of
Israel lives, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, except at my
word..'"

Notice how God calls Elijahâ s bold declaration above


above "earnest prayer"
prayer" (in James
5:17â 18)? It doesnâ t t our traditional ideas of prayer, which usually involves a
person with eyes closed, hands folded, and on his/her knees.

Rather, the second time Elijah prayed (on his knees) in James 5:18, the word "earnestly" is
not there. Weâ re going to see why.

By this time, there has not been dew nor rain for 3.5 years. Not a blade of green grass was
in sight. The land was parched, and it was dif cult for the people to get water from the
mountains. King Ahab was looking for deliverance.

Elijah issues a challenge to Baal and his prophets to turn the Israelitesâ hearts back to
God (1 Kings 18:21). Both he and Baalâ s prophets would kill a bull, cut it in pieces, and
lay it on wood. Baalâ s prophets would call on him, while Elijah would call upon God. The
One who answered by re would be the true God (1 Kings 18:24). Baal didnâ t answer,
but God answered with re on the sacri ce, and in so doing, forgave the Israelites for their
rebellion. Now, God could righteously bring showers of blessings upon Israel, because He
has judged their sins in the sacri cial bull.

In fact, the res of judgment falling on the sacri ceâ not the rebellious Israelitesâ was
a foreshadowing of how our Lord Jesus would bear the judgment for our sins on the cross.

Although God has to judge sin, He is love.

Today, itâ s far easier to receive


Godâ s blessings than His judgment
because of what our Lord has
accomplished at the cross

"Then
"Then Elijah said to Ahab, 'Go
'Go up, eat and drink; for there is the sound of abundance of
rain.'' So Ahab went up to eat and drink. And Elijah went up to the top of Carmel; then he

bowed down on the ground, and put his face between his knees,

'Go up now, look toward the sea.' So he went up and looked, and said, 'There is nothing.' And
seven times he said, 'Go again.' Then it came to pass the seventh time, that he said, 'There is
a cloud, as small as a manâ s hand, rising out of the sea!' So he said, 'Go up, say to Ahab,
'Prepare your chariot, and go down before the rain stops you.'' Now it happened in the
meantime that the sky became black with clouds and wind, and there was a heavy rain. So
Ahab rode away and went to Jezreel.

girded up his loins and ran ahead of Ahab to the entrance of Jezreel."

"bowed
"bowed down on the ground, and put his face between his knees" â We think
Elijahâ s prayer here is more earnest, but God just said he prayed again in James 5:18.

This is because when we declare Godâ s goodness, weâ re partnering with Him.
Weâ re agreeing that Jesus has already borne the curse (of diseases, pains, etc.) at the
pleading prayers (e.g. "Oh God,
cross, and given us all His blessings. In other words, praying pleading
please heal my child") negates the truth of Christâ s nished work, and gives the false
impression that God still needs to be persuaded to bless us. And since the Holy Spirit is the

What declaring and decreeing looks like:

e.g.
e.g. "In the name of Jesus, you foul spirit of depression, let this person go!" â Youâ re
declaring that itâ s not the Lord, but the powers of darkness thatâ s holding this
person back. Youâ re declaring that Heâ s not the problem, but the solution.

Elijah prayed the way he did because he was living under the Old Covenant before Jesus
came, where it was far easier to come under Godâ s judgment than His blessings.
Although God promised to bless His people when they kept all 10 Commandments, they
only had to break one to be cursed (see Deut. 11:26â 28).

Thatâ s why it was far easier for Elijah to pronounce judgment in the form of no dew/rain
for Israel, but far more dif cult for him to pray for rain.

But Jesusâ nished work at the cross has changed everything. Now, blessings come
easily because they arenâ t contingent upon our perfect obedience to Godâ s law, but
upon Christâ s one obedience to God in dying on the cross for our sins and making us
righteous (see Rom. 5:19). And blessings crown the head of the righteous.

God never meant for us to earn His blessings by keeping His law. God gave the law so that
weâ d come to the end of ourselves and receive Him as our righteousness instead. And
receiving His righteousness produces righteous fruits, right living, and holiness before God
and men.

Itâ s Godâ s goodness that leads us to repentance. And not only do we end up
ful lling the law, but exceeding it by the power of His grace.

God still answered Elijah's prayer

But God was so good that He answered Elijahâ s prayer anyway and sent rain. Letâ s
come back to the story:

"Go
"Go up, eat and drink"
drink" â While Elijah told King Ahab to do that, the prophet went up to
the top of Carmel; then he bowed down on the ground, and put his face between his knees
(1 Kings 18:42).

Like Elijah, remember to give glory to God when He blesses you and delivers you from
trouble. Letâ s also thank Him for all the blessings and protection we arenâ t even
aware of.

"there
"there is the sound of abundance of rain" (1 Kings 18:41) â Pastor Prince declares that
he hears the sound of abundance of rain for us in 2019: Of abundance of favor, shalom
peace, family blessings, etc. Just as Elijah heard the sound of rain before it actually poured,
Pastor hears this in the Spirit for us.

It pays to follow God, who lives outside time. Heâ s already seen your 2019 and He says
itâ s great. And Heâ ll come back, take your hand, and lead you through it.

"There
"There is a cloud, as small as a manâ
manâ s hand, rising out of the sea" (1 Kings 18:44)
18:44) â
Little with God always becomes much: A small cloud with God in it brings torrential rains.

"Then
"Then the hand of the Lord came upon Elijah; and he girded up his loins and ran ahead of
Ahab" (1 Kings 18:46) â When Godâ s power comes upon you, youâ ll have
supernatural strength like Elijah, who outran Ahabâ s chariot.

Pastor Prince shares about how he meditated on Isa. 40:31 during a run in the army, and
experienced a second wind so much that he was disappointed when they were told to rest!

It was the same for the Gadarene demoniac, who evangelized to ten cities (Decapolis) after
Jesus delivered him (see Mark 5:1â 20). When Godâ s Spirit comes upon you, you
have supernatural results.

We live in the age of grace where itâ s


easy to pray and see results

Itâ s vital that we know that weâ re living in the age/dispensation of grace, where
itâ s easy to pray and see results. Not the dispensation of law in Elijahâ s time, nor of
the coming day of vengeance where every sin will be dealt with (even then, as believers,
Christ has borne all the judgment for our sins. Weâ ll be in our glori ed bodies in which
we cannot sin).

Weâ re living in the acceptable year of the Lord, as our Lord Jesus once read from the
book of Isaiah. "acceptable" here is "ratso

which means that Godâ s free favors are profusely abounding.
abounding. We see this in Luke
4:17â 20:

"And
"And He was handed the book of the prophet Isaiah. And when He had opened the book, He
found the place where it was written: 'The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, Because He has
anointed Me To preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted,
To proclaim liberty to the captives And recovery of sight to the blind, To set at liberty those

Jesus didnâ t continue reading to "the day of vengeance of our God" because itâ s not
yet come. Weâ re still living in the acceptable year of the Lord, and itâ s been 2,000
years now. God is patiently waiting as He wants as many people to be saved as possible. He
is "longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to
repentance." (2 Peter 3:9).

You can confidently pray for non-believers


to receive Godâ s goodness

Godâ s free favors are so profusely abounding in this age of grace that we can even pray
for non-believers and see results. In fact, not one of the many people Jesus healed in the
New Testament (before this age of grace) were saved, because He hadnâ t died on the
cross!

You can pray for non-believers and trust Godâ s goodness to lead them to repentance
(see Rom. 2:4)â meaning that they stop thinking Heâ s an angry God, start seeing Him
as a loving Father, and come to church.

Pastor Prince shares how he prayed for a non-believer to be free from panic attacks, the
heavy medication he was under, and the accompanying inability to leave home. When he
met him again, the man said he was 85% healed and his doctor said he doesnâ t need
medication anymore! He also shared that he spends time with God every morning.

No amount of arguing or politicking will change people, but sharing the gospel of grace and
a Savior who loves them will transform them from the inside out.

Pray from a position of sonship, completeness, and


victory.

See God as a Father, who Jesus came to reveal Him as. There is protection in seeing God as
Father, as seen in John 17:11 below. He isnâ t far away, but so close to you.

"Holy Father, keep through Your name those whom You have given Me"
Me"
â John 17:11

Itâ s not about the strength of our prayer, but who weâ re praying to. Long before we
pray, we see that God wants to bless people. He doesnâ t need to be begged.

Since Jesus has carried our diseases, we can declare, "Fever, go in the name of Jesus!
Goiter, die in Jesusâ name!"

If youâ

declaring, no matter how small you

When the apostles asked Jesus to increase their faith, He responded:

"And
"And the apostles said to the Lord, 'Increase our faith.' So the Lord said, 'If
'If you have faith as
a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, 'Be pulled up by the roots and be
planted in the sea,' and it would obey you.

â Luke 17:5â 6 NKJV

"faith
"faith as a mustard seed" â The mustard seed is very small, and yet Jesus says faith of
that size can uproot a mulberry tree, whose roots go very deep.

"you
"you can say to this mulberry tree" â The word "say" here is in the imperfect tense in
the original Greek, which implies a continuous action, i.e. keep on declaring.

Pastor Prince shares about how he used to have a skin condition on his back. Every time he
bathed, he would say, "Skin condition, be plucked up by your roots and thrown into the
sea!" He kept doing it for some weeks, and one day God prompted him to look for it and he
saw it was gone.

God wants us to declare/decree, because as believers, He has made us kings and priests
who are seated with Christ in heavenly places where weâ re above all principality and
power (see Rev. 1:6, Eph. 2:6, Eph. 1:19â 21). Itâ s customary for kings to make
decrees.

Donâ t ask God to deal with the problem. Just own the
authority Heâ s given you over it, and declare!
declare!

Just like God told Moses not to cry to Him when the Israelites complained that Moses had
taken them away to die in the wilderness, but to lift up his rod, stretch his hand over the
Red Sea and divide it (see Exo. 14:15â 16).

Mosesâ authority was found in his rod, and our authority today is found in the name of
Jesus.

Just as army of cers use their authority to direct tanks. They donâ t have to call HQ. You

We're going to see how even back then, God was so good that He successfully won the
people'ss hearts
people' hearts and judged their sin in the sacri ce. How much more loving will He be to
you and I as believers today?

"Now
"Now Elijah said to the prophets of Baal, 'Choose one bull for yourselves and prepare it
rst, for you are many; and call on the name of your god, but put no re under it.' So they
took the bull which was given them, and they prepared it, and called on the name of Baal
from morning even till noon, saying, 'O Baal, hear us!' But there was no voice; no one
answered. Then they leaped about the altar which they had made. And so it was, at noon,
that Elijah mocked them and said, 'Cry aloud, for he is a god; either he is meditating, or he is
busy, or he is on a journey, or perhaps he is sleeping and must be awakened.' So they cried
aloud, and cut themselves, as was their custom, with knives and lances, until the blood
gushed out on them. And when midday was past, they prophesied until the time of the
offering of the evening sacri ce. But there was no voice; no one answered, no one paid
attention.

Then Elijah said to all the people, 'Come near to me.' So all the people came near to him.
And he repaired the altar of the Lord that was broken down. And Elijah took twelve
stones, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, to whom the word of the
Lord had come, saying, 'Israel shall be your name.' Then with the stones he built an altar in
the name of the Lord; and he made a trench around the altar large enough to hold two
seahs of seed. And he put the wood in order, cut the bull in pieces, and laid it on the wood,
and said, 'Fill
'Fill four waterpots with water, and pour it on the burnt sacri ce and on the
wood.' Then he said, 'Do it a second time,' and they did it a second time;
time; and he said, 'Do it a
third time,' and they did it a third time. So the water ran all around the altar; and he also
lled the trench with water.

And it came to pass, at the time of the offering of the evening sacri ce,
ce, that Elijah the
prophet came near and said, 'Lord God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, let it be known this
day that You are God in Israel and I am Your servant, and that I have done all these things at
Your word. Hear me, O Lord, hear me, that this people may know that You are the Lord God,
and that You have turned their hearts back to You again.'Â

Then the re of the Lord fell and consumed the burnt sacri ce, and the wood and the
stones and the dust, and it licked up the water that was in the trench. Now when all the
people saw it, they fell on their faces; and they said, 'The Lord, He is God! The Lord, He is
God!'"
God!'"

â 1 Kings 18:25â 39 NKJV

Elijah "repaired the altar of the Lord that was broken down" â Today, the altar
represents the cross of Jesus, a symbol of God's love for the world. Let's share Jesus' love
with people and they'll come to believe in Him.

"twelve

"...endeavoring
"...endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body and

Elijah told the people to " ll four waterpots with water, and pour it on the burnt sacri ce
and on the wood," three times. It was as if he was deliberately making it dif cult for God to
call down re. Today, this represents Godâ s relentless love for us: No matter how we try
to pour cold water on it and suppress it, like Israel turned away from Him back then, God
wonâ t stop pursuing us. As Song of Solomon 8:7, which speaks of His love for us, says:

"Many
"Many waters cannot quench love, Nor can the oods drown it."

"att the time of the offering of the evening sacri ce" â


"a It was at that time when Elijah
prayed to God to send re down. Israel offers two daily animal sacri cesâ in the morning
(9am) and the evening (3pm). Itâ s also said that Jesus was nailed to the cross at 9am,
and exhausted all our sins, judgment, crying. "It is nished!" at 3pm. Now we can pray to
God anytime and Heâ ll hear us, because of Jesusâ nished work.

"Then
"Then the re of the Lord fell and consumed the burnt sacri ce, and the wood and the
stones and the dust, and it licked up the water that was in the trench" â During
Elijahâ s time at Mt Carmel, Godâ s re consumed the sacri ce completely. But at
Calvary, Jesus, our perfect sacri ce, consumed the judgment. He rose from the dead and is
still alive today!

The sacri ce is now greater than the judgment. Jesusâ resurrection is why we can be
assured that all our sins are forgiven. We can come boldly to Godâ s throne of grace,
pray prayers and see results!

"Now
"Now when all the people saw it, they fell on their faces; and they said, 'The Lord, He is
God! The Lord, He is God!'" â Not only was the righteousness of God satis ed, but God
won the heart of Israel. Heâ s still winning hearts today.

Even before you pray, see your prayers


answered

Have an inward posture of seeing your prayers having results, even before you pray!
Donâ t pray to have in uence with God, pray because you already have in uence with
Him. Donâ t pray to pry blessings from Godâ s hand, but proclaim His blessings that
are already yours.

Even our salvation in Christ is gotten by declaring (confessing) that Jesus is Lord, and
believing in our heart that God has raised Him from the dead (Rom. 10:9). Not begging Him
to save us.

Closing Prayer

Pastor Prince prayed this prayer over the people:

"The
"The Lord bless you and your families this coming week. May you be drenched with His
blessings. May God make showers of blessings to fall on you and your loved ones
throughout this week. May you experience tangibly the blessings of God that will manifest
this coming week. The Lord smile on you, be favorable to you, and the Lord Himself keep
you. In the name of Jesus, I declare the Lord preserves you from all evil throughout this
weekâ from all harm, from danger, from every infection, from every power of darkness
through the blood of His Son, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. The Lord smiles on you
and grants you his shalom peace, wholeness, and well-being in every part of your being. In
every part of your body. In Jesusâ Name, amen.
amen."
