3 John vs. 2
Beloved, I wish (pray) above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.
PRAYER BRINGS HEALING AND PROSPERITY
This letter, written by John to Gaius, is a perfect example of preventative prayer. John is praying for Gaius to prosper and be in good health, in his body as well as his soul. Prayer for another is known as intercessory prayer, so John is interceeding for Gaius. It is also true that when we pray for others, the LORD builds us up. Prayer brings prosperity for the one prayed for, as well as the one praying. When we are in prayer, we are in relationship with GOD. As our heart unites with His, He brings His love and mercy to us. This powerful relationship extends to the ones for whom we pray. All profit through prayer.
In the first sentence I used the words "preventative prayer". This is asking for GOD to go before us and bring wholeness, as compared with prayer in the midst of a storm. Many times, people ask for prayer during a crisis, how much better it would be to ask for prayer before a situation occurs. Preventative prayer puts GOD in charge of all situations before they arise. John is giving Gaius over to the authority of GOD, who will make prosperity and health possible.
I PRAY THAT ALL WHO READ THIS WILL PROSPER AND BE IN GOOD HEALTH EVEN AS THY SOUL PROSPERETH.
