“and the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him. Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.”
James 5:15-16 KJV
James teaches about the prayer of faith, “And the prayer of faith will heal the sick and the Lord will raise them up, and if they have committed sins they will be forgiven. Confess and acknowledge how you have offended one another and then pray for one another to be instantly healed, for tremendous power is released through the passionate, heartfelt prayer of a godly believer!” Not only is the prayer for the physically sick believer but also for the spiritually weary and worn down believers who have been arguing with each other. They are to be restored back to health with resurrection power. Sickness and weakness is a result of sin, which is why we are told to examine ourselves when partaking of the Body & Blood at the communion table of our Lord and Master. Repentance and forgiveness is so key to our physical and spiritual health. The Church needs to awake to righteousness and know our responsibility of releasing the power of righteousness through our prayers. The prayers of the righteous are what our Heavenly Father hears to release answers from above. Amen!
