“So Abraham prayed unto God: and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his maidservants; and they bare children.”
Genesis 20:17 KJV
Then Abraham prayed to God; and God healed Abimelech! He also healed Abimelech’s wife and female servants of their infertility and they began to have babies again. Considering that Abraham’s wife had never given him a child, it was an amazing miracle for Abraham to pray for someone else to give birth! The very first healing in the Bible was through the prayer of a childless man, Abraham. He had no confidence in himself as he prayed this prayer of faith. He could pray in total confidence that it had to be God doing the miracle. He prayed for the very thing he had not yet received. Isaac’s conception happened shortly after as a result of Abraham’s prayer for another person with the same need. Because of the new covenant through Jesus, we too must learn to pray when tremendous power is released through the passionate, heartfelt prayer of a righteous person in Christ! Amen!
