Elijah is a good example of someone who prayed with authority. The Lord sent him into battle the evil King Ahab and the 450 prophets of Baal. This was a spiritual conflict to prove who was the real God - Baal or the Lord of Israel.
Elijah's weapons were his knowledge of the Father's plan and the authority he had in prayer as a prophet of God.
His request - that Jehovah would make Himself known, voiced publicly before his opponents, matched the Lord's will (Ex. 7:5; 1 Kings 18:37). And when God responded to Elijah's prayer, the people declared, "The Lord, He is God" (1 Kings 18:39).
Are you child of a God? If so, you can pray with spiritual might by making sure your requests are in agreement with His will.
