The Prayer of Faith
James 5:13-16 (KJV)
Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let him sing psalms. Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: 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.

- Call for the elders of the church
- and let them pray over you
- anointing you with oil in the name of the Lord Jesus
- And the prayer of faith shall save the sick and the Lord shall raise you up
- Believer Responsibility:
- Confess committed sins
- Unconfessed sin presents an obstacle to the prayer of faith
- Let the Holy Spirit probe your heart and convict you of sin
- During humiliation, a decision must be made to:
- - depart from sin with the intention of sining no more
- - lay you sins down before the Lord
- Repent of all sins
- Recieve forgiivness (pardon of sin) and
- Redemption;in the Blood of Jesus Christ
- Your soul is ready to recieve healing when it believes in God's healing promises
- The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much
Exodus 15:26 (KJV)
And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the LORD that healeth thee.
