START YOUR DAY RIGHT DEVOTION
(KJV) James 5:16Confess 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.
CONFESS … PRAY … BE HEALED / JAMES 5:16
This verse gives us an important aspect to healing we must be accountable to one another. This means that we must be willing to confess our spiritual failures to other trustworthy Christians so that we can pray more effectively for each other. Sin in the church hinders prayer and holds back God’s healing power from being demonstrated among His people.
