CONFESS … PRAY … BE HEALED / JAMES 5:16

(KJV) James 5:16

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.

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.

For those who are in a right relationship with God and who continually rely on Him to do what is right, their prayers will

1. Bring them near to God (Hebrews 7:25).
2. Open the way to a Spirit-filled life (Luke 11:13; Acts 1:14).
3. Bring them power for ministry (Acts1:8; 4:31, 33) and Christian devotion (Ephesians 1:19).
4. Build them up spiritually (Jude 1:20).
5. Give them insight into Christ’s provision for them (Ephesians 1:16-19).
6. Help them overcome Satan (Daniel 10:12-13; Ephesians 6:12-13, 18).
7. Clarify God’s purposes for them (Psalms 32:6-8; Proverbs 3:5-6; Mark 1:35-39).
8. Enable them to receive spiritual gifts (1 Corinthians 14:1).
9. Bring them into closer companionship with God (Matthew 6:9; John 7:37; 14:16).
10. Bring them grace, mercy, and peace (Philippians 4:6-7; Hebrews 4:16).
11. Bring others who are spiritually lost into a relationship with Christ (James 5:20).
12. Bring them the wisdom, revelation, and knowledge of Christ (Ephesians 1:16-17).
