James 5:17 Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain, and it didn't rain on the earth for three years and six months. 5:18 He prayed again, and the sky gave rain, and the earth brought forth its fruit.

Here James speak shocking truth to those in the truth Jesus Christ, is Jesus Christ less of a prophet than Elijah? No! Elijah like all the prophets prefigured Christ Jesus in some manner, but the real issues is Christ Jesus is the fulfillment and the reality of the prophets not the shadow, but the light coming into the world removing the shadow of the law, and the prophets.

So is there less of God's power in Christ Jesus for healing the spiritually sick, it there less power in Christ Jesus in acting towards his body members loved of God? Well, of course not, but the issues is for Christian's is one of physical or spiritual reality, what does this mean? It means that God's chosen people before Christ were the Jews, the nation of Israel, whom was a shadow, a physical expression of God pattern of faith until the Christ came into the greater spiritual temple, that is, his body members, the house under construction since Christ Jesus – the reality - light!

Where Elijah and the many of other prophets of God faith moved physical thing affecting that physical nation, did you note that? Yes, the nation Christ rules over at present is a spiritual Israel having a spirit temple require worship in Spirit and truth, not in some mountain upon earth. So often physical Christian's those with fleshly minds, a legal mind, are set upon physical things happening in their life at some physical religion upon earth.

However, that is not James meaning here there is something greater than a physical healing of a brother or sister, there is a spiritual healing, which is eternal for those of the body of Christ Jesus whom themselves are a spirit person before God, but why? Because they are controlled by a spiritual law of love, they are born again by Holy Spirit, and they are led by Spirit, but also they are dead in their flesh in Christ Jesus.

In other words, do you have faith in the unseen greater Elijah, Christ Jesus, by faith in the kingdom of heaven, or is your hope in the physically seen kingdom upon this earth? In other words, men, religions, governments, or Christ Jesus?
