Prophets like Elijah and Elisha had full confidence that God would answer their prayers, from opening the eyes of their servant to see the spiritual realm to calling down fire to stopping rain for years. Does it work like that today for us?

On today’s podcast, Pastor Derek and Pastor Jackie talk through a listener question to look how prophets understand God's will and pray with confidence. From there, we dig into how things are similar and different for us today and how to pray with a similar confidence!
