Will Prayer Bring Rain?
I Mr. Editor:—I have just no
ticed that Governor Hodges of
Kansas has refused to call a
day for prayer for rain, saying
that prayer will not bring rain,
i Of course, this is only the gov
ernor's opinion. And while he
, may be a very wise man, and for
[all I know, a good man, but I
| think for all of his wisdom he is
wrong on this point. I believe
that if he had familiarized him
self a little more thoroughly
with his bible he would not have
‘ made this statement. I am a
[ ware of the fact that there is an
idea extant in the world which
claims that God in the beginning
fixed everything and that He
now, through His Providence,
has nothing whatever to do with
[the rain or the weather That it
rains, hails and blows merrily as
a result of certain fixed and es
tablished laws of nature.
Governor Hodges seems to be
of this persuasion. But the Bi
ble is our only source of infal
lible and ultimate authority on
this subject.
Does God have anything to do
with the rain, and will he send it
upon the people in answer to
prayer? Let us turn to the Bible
and see.
In Deuteronomy, 11:16-17, we
read, “Take heed to yourselves,
that your heart be not deceived,
and turn aside and serve other
gods and worship them and then
the I ord’s wrath be kindled a
gainst you and He shut up the
heavens that there be no rain
and that the land yield not her
fruit, and lest ye perish quickly
from off the good land which the
Lord giveth you.”
The Lord threatens here to
withhold the rain as a judg
ment upon the people for sin.
Deuteronomy, 28:23-24— “And
the heaven that is over thy head
shall be brass and the earth that
is under thee shall be iron. The
Lord shall make the rain of pow
der and dust; from the heaven
shall it come down upon thee
until thou be destroyed.”
Kings, 8:35-36—“When heav
en is shut up and there is no
rain because they have sinned a
gainst Thee. If they pray to
ward this place and confess Thy j
name and turn from sin when j
Thou afflicted them- Then hear.
Thou in heaven and forgive the j
sin of Thy servants and of Thy
people Israel, that Thou teach
them the good way wherein they
should walk and give rain upon
the land which Thou hast given
to thy people for an inherit
ance.”
II Chronicles, 7:12-14—“The
Lord appeared to Solomon by
night and said, I have heard thy
prayer. If I shut up heaven
that there be no rain, or if I
command the locust to devour
the land, or if I send pestilence *
among the people. If my people
which are called by my name,
i i i .1__ n
snail riuiuuie uicmacivco
turn from their wicked ways (
then will I hear from heaven and j
will forgive their sins and will
heal their land.”
Jeremiah 3: 2-3—“Thou hast
polluted the land with thy
whoredoms and with thy wicked
ness, therefore the showers |
have been withholden and there
hath been no latter rain.”
Amos 4:6-8—“Yet have you
not returned unto Me, saith the
Lord and also I have withholden
the rain from you when there
were yet three months to the
harvest. And I caused it to rain

! uP°n one city and caused it not
to rain upon another city. One
piece was rained upon and the
piece whereupon it rained not
1 withered.”
Zechariah 10:1—Ask of the
Lord rain :n the time of the lat
ter rain so the Lord shall make
brig t clouds and give them
showers of rain and to everyone
gras in the field.”
Zechariah, 14:17—“And it
shall be that whosoever will not
come up of all the families of
the earth unto Jerusalem to
worship upon them shall be no
rain.’
II Chronicles, 6:26-27—“When
the heaven is shut up and they
have sinned, yet if they pray,”
etc., etc.
James, 5:17-18. Elisha pray
ed that it might not rain, and
then he prayed that it might
rain. And while it is here said
that he was a man of like pas
sions unto ourselves, yet both
of these prayer were answered.
We have now -een that sin a
gainst God may shut up the
heaven and cause God to with
hold the rain. While on the oth
er hand we have seen that we
have Divine authority and ex
ample to pray for rain. Then
we have God's promise that if
the people pray and turn from
their wickedness that He will
send the showers. See II Chron
icles, 7:12-14; Zechariah 10:1.
Notice the fact, however, that
God’s promise to send rain in
answer to prayer is conditioned
on the fact that they turn from
Prayer would not open the hea
vens which sin had closed and
bring rain down unless this sin
or sins were forsaken.
, But He says, “If you walk in
my statutes and keep my com
mandments and do them, then
will I give you rain in due seas
on.” Besides all this, there are
"numerous instances on record
where people gathered and pray
ed for rain and it rained before
they could get home.
Now, I have given these scrip
ture quotations chiefly without
comment. And if these scrip
tures are not true how are we
to know what scriptures are
true? That God has sent rain
in answer to prayer there can
be no doubt. And we are told
that God is the same yesterday,
today and forever more; that He
changes not. Then if He is the
same forever that He has been
in the past and He has sent rain
in answer to prayer, will He not
do so again if indeed He chang
es not
Besides the great preacher—
Christ—in the sermon on the
Mount, said, “He sendeth the
rain upon the just and the un
just.” See Leviticus, 29-3-4.
