§. 24. Of extraordinary effects of Prayer.
Many admirable, and extraordinary are the things which the Prayers of Gods faithful children have in all ages effected.a At Moses Prayer the red Sea was divided asunder.b At Joshua's Prayer the Sun stayed his course.c At Hezekiahs Prayer it turned backward. At dElijah's Prayer rain was stayed three years and an half together, infinite it were to reckon up all particulars. I⟨p. 363⟩ will bring to your remembrance only one which among and above the rest is most remarkable, which is concerning eChrists Prayer at his baptism, by the power whereof first the heavens were cloven. Secondly, the holy Ghost descended down upon him. Thirdly, the Father gave an evident and audible testimony that Christ was his beloved Son: whereby is declared that the Prayers of Gods children pierce the heavens, make the holy Ghost to come into them, and cause God to witness that they are his children, though not so visibly and audibly, yet as truly and effectually.
