Episode 81 The Power of Spiritually Focused Prayer

Deeper Devos

Last week I wrote a post at Revive Our Hearts on the first chapter of James titled: It’s Not Enough Just to Hear the Word. Prompting me to read several times through the entire book of James. Um, talk about convicting. But when I came to the last section I paused and then I dug in because honestly, I just didn’t get it.
What did James mean when he said “the prayer of faith will save the one who is sick.” Um, hello, but aren’t we all currently hiding in our homes due to a rapidly spreading illness? So, this week we’re taking a break from our study of Mark to talk about some very confusing verses in James.
“Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray. Is anyone cheerful? Let him sing praise. Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him…And the prayer of faith will save the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.” James 5:13-15
