Hear the
word of the Lord from James 5.
13Is anyone among you
suffering? Let him pray. Is anyone cheerful? Let him sing praise. 14Is
anyone among you sick? 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. 15And 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. 16Therefore, confess
your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The
prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working. 17Elijah
was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed fervently that it might not
rain, and for three years and six months it did not rain on the earth. 18Then
he prayed again, and heaven gave rain, and the earth bore its fruit.
This morning the elders of our church anointed Kaitlyn with oil and
prayed for healing for the cancer in her body. There is nothing magical or mystical
about anointing but there is something mighty about it. Our prayers are
powerful and accomplish much. The King James says they availeth much. Our
prayers and corporate act of worship this morning appropriates the grace and
power of God in the life of Kaity and our family. We believe in the might of
prayer and the power of the Spirit. We believe in a God who heals and stood
firm in that faith this morning.
We are
grateful for a Bible-believing church and the prayers of the saints on behalf
of our daughter. Thank you Village Seven for living out the gospel in a
practical way to our family this morning. We believe with you for God’s will to
be accomplished and stand in faith, believing for healing for Kaitlyn.
