Good Morning! How are we faithing? What an interesting week! Something I want you all to meditate on. We need each other for many reasons. We need each other for love of course, interaction, companionship, laughs and cries, work etc. The Word has good directions on how we are to treat each other and today lets look at prayer of the sick. It is our duty and privilege to pray for each other. I've found out after the fact from some of my friends they had been sick and I got after them for not dropping me a line because I wasn't given the opportunity to lift them up to the Lord. Sound odd? It isn't really. Obviously others did pray for them because they are standing before me telling me of the past sickness but as brothers and sisters it isn't fair to not be granted that privilege. Do you understand this? As we hold each other up to the Lord we humble ourselves before an all knowing God and we present the love God has for us in that lifting up of others. We obey God's Word when we confess to each other and pray for each other. As saved believers we should be aware of God's desire for us to come to him with our petitions our doing such is an outpouring of love that God has. There are people we may not like but when we lift them up in prayer we open up blessings for them as well as for ourselves because our eyes get off us and onto others. Read this and rather than speaking curses on people, pray for them that they see truth and come to the blessings of God.
Jas 5:14-16
Is any 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: and the prayer of faith shall save him that is sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, it shall be forgiven him. Confess therefore your sins one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The supplication of a righteous man availeth much in its working.
Remember Morry Wakefield...remember Travis' father-in-law...
Heavenly Father,
We lift those hurting today that need you Lord. We lay our burdens and infirmaries at your feet that your will be done. Lord we lift our leaders up to you that they seek wisdom and mercy from you. Thank you for your blessings on us and help us see truth, seek wisdom and overcome the enemy and all his devices that try to fool us. Bless the children and our troops, in Jesus name, amen
