Psalm 34:15 The eyes of the LORD are on the righteous, and his ears are attentive to their cry;
Proverbs 15:8 The LORD detests the sacrifice of the wicked, but the prayer of the upright pleases him.
History has recorded wonderful happenings through the prayer of the righteous. Hezekiah prayed after God had declared he was about to die. His fervent prayer was heard and his life extended by fifteen added years - 2 Kings 20:1-6. Elijah prayed that there shall be no rain, and there was no rain for three and a half years. By his fervent prayers, he once again prayed for rain, and the rains came - James 5:17-18.
Peter prayed and raised Dorcas from the dead - Acts 9:40 Peter sent them all out of the room; then he got down on his knees and prayed. Turning toward the dead woman, he said, "Tabitha, get up." She opened her eyes, and seeing Peter she sat up.
Prayer has recorded a lot of Miracles through great men that lived on Earth. Men such as Smith Wigglesworth who was a man of prayer. In fact Wikipedia reports that Wigglesworth was said to have raised between three and twenty-three persons from the dead.
Men like William Branham were men of prayer who prayed and through them God healed many people. Through William Branham God healed US congressman Upshaw who was confined to a wheelchair for over sixty years, and this was carried by the Reader's Digest.
Up to today, God is still interested in answering the fervent prayer of the righteous. I have personally witnessed many healings that have taken place after righteous men and women prayed. I have personally experienced miraculous acts through prayer. Prayer if made in accordance to God's will (1 John 5:14-15), continually (1 Thessalonians 5:17), humbly and by faith has great results (Mark 11:22-24). May we as children of God continue to write the book of Acts through our prayers. God is still in the healing , miracles and saving of souls business. Please join in!
