Prayer is powerful and effective!
Scripture reading for November 7th: James 5
Key Scriptures for over-comers: James 5:13-16 “Is any one of you in trouble? He should pray. Is anyone happy? Let him sing songs of praise. Is any one of you sick? He should call the elders of the church to pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise him up. If he has sinned, he will be forgiven. Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.”
Confession, prayer and praise are great responses to any of life’s ups and downs! James was known as “old camel knees” because he was such a man of prayer and love for God. He closed his letter with strong encouragement to pray. Each believer is righteous and has access to God’s throne through Christ Jesus. Our prayers are powerful and effective, able to bring help in trouble or healing in sickness. Praise to God brings joy and a thankful heart. Confession of sins brings forgiveness and healing.
Observations for over-comers: Over-comers pray with power and effectiveness through a strong relationship with Jesus Christ! “Therefore let everyone who is godly pray to You while You may be found; surely when the mighty waters rise, they will not reach Him. You are my hiding place; you will protect me from trouble and surround me with songs of deliverance.” (Psalm 32:6-7)
