James 5:15
The prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the LORD shall raise him up; and if he committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.
James 1: 6,7
But let him ask in faith nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. For let not that man think that he shall receive anything of the LORD.
There are 4 lifesavers that, when you grab a hold of them, will save your life for ever and these 4 are really only one, because they build upon each other. The first, is the Name of JESUS, that powerful Name which brings all of heaven, earth and under the earth to its knees. The Name which is above all names; the Name that encompasses all other Names. JESUS the CHRIST is LORD. The second, is the Word of the LORD. This Word was with GOD from the beginning and through Him was everything made that was made. The Word is JESUS. The Word is Holy Scripture, which is breathed by the Holy Spirit of GOD and interpreted by Him. The third, is Prayer.
The two verses from James tell us a lot about prayer. In James 5: 15 we see that prayer of faith saves the sick and the LORD raises him up, and forgives his sins. This is total healing and restoration. I want to to notice that prayer is coupled with faith. When you read James 1: 6,7, you find that prayer without steadfast faith goes no where and receives nothing. The opposite is true, prayer in faith, believing that if GOD has said it in His Word, then it is true and settled, produces the fruit of that prayer. If you pray for healing and stand on the word that "by His (JESUS') stripes we are healed", then we will receive what GOD has promised - healing and wholeness.
Hebrews 11:6
Without faith it is impossible to please Him (GOD); for he that cometh to GOD must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him.
Seeking GOD is Prayer. Prayer brings us into relationship with GOD. Prayer is that connecting link to the Divine and has been established as a means of communication by the Passion of JESUS and His unconditional Love. Prayer is a great gift. When we pray the Word of the LORD in the Holy Name of JESUS, we will receive, not only what we ask for, but also what we need and that in abundance.
More things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams of. PRAY WITHOUT CEASING.
