James 5:16 (NIV)
Therefore, confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.
At the beginning of this new week, we return to the James verse. I want you to take note of the fact that if you confess your faults and sins to one another and pray for one another, YOU will be healed. The LORD will heal those who are humble and contrite. He brings into His Heart those who have the same understanding of sin as He does. GOD hates sin; He loves the sinner, but hates the sin. When we confess our sins to one another, we are saying by our actions, "I hate the sin in me that has hurt or harmed another. I am sorry and want to put an end to my sin forever." When we ask for prayer from others and we pray for others to be healed from the wounds of sin, the LORD agrees with us and heals/saves. He restores us to a right relationship with Him, we are made righteous through Him.
In review from last week's devotionals: Effective and powerful prayer begins with:
1.GET RIGHT WITH GOD.
2. PARTNER WITH GOD.
3. BELIEVE GOD.
4. LIVE BY FAITH.
5. BE THANKFUL FOR ANSWERED PRAYER BEFORE THE MANIFESTATION.
6. PRAY IN THE NAME OF JESUS.
This week we will look at examples from the Scripture about effective and powerful prayer and what happens.
PRAY WITHOUT CEASING
