The Beje

The Beje (pronounced bay-yay) was the home of Corrie Ten Boom where she and her family hid Jews from the Gestapo in Nazi-occupied Holland. It was also the home where Corrie grew up and learned about Jesus Christ from her wise father. At the Beje, there was always room at the dinner table for just one more. This blog is a collection of my musings on daily life as I learn who I am in Christ.

Empowering Your Life

What if I told you that YOU can do the same things Elijah the prophet did? Would you believe that? What if I told you that YOU can engineer the very weather? What if I told you that this awesome power is within every Christian? Do you say that was only for special biblical times, and was reserved for only a few chosen men? No? Then why did James use Elijah as our example for prayer? Why did he even go so far as to say he was nothing special - he was just like us?
"...The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not 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."
(Jam 5:16-18 KJV)
