"Confess your sins to each other and PRAY FOR EACH OTHER, so that you may be healed. The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results."
What is the first thing you should do when you or someone you love has a problem? Who should you turn to every time for help in a time of need? What is the essence of the first commandment of God? The obvious answer to all these questions is that we are to put the Lord first in our lives and that we are to confess our sins to Him and pray to Him for the answers. Love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind, body and soul. Keep the Lord first in everything. If you have a problem, sickness or concern you should bring it to the Lord first. Do not be tempted to seek answers from fallible sources or substitutes for God's wisdom. We must however keep in mind the One Truth Today that the prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results. We are to PRAY FOR EACH OTHER!
Before you can make righteous prayers for yourself or others you must confess your sins to God. It is helpful to hold yourself accountable to other righteous persons who are your brothers and sisters in the Lord. You can join with them in prayer. Where two or three of you are gathered, the Lord is in your midst. Your prayers will be heard when they are done in earnest and have the will of God and His righteousness in mind. There is power in prayer and the Lord wants you to worship and pray to Him. PRAY FOR EACH OTHER!
No man is an island unto himself. By joining with other believer's and righteous Christians we see a dynamic, synergistic power that can increase the results of our prayers. We are not to neglect the gathering together of the brethren for a purpose such as this. This is an example of why it is important to join with others and invoke the Word of the Lord. The earnest prayers of a righteous person, or group or persons, has great power and will produce wonderful results. God honors those who honor Him and His advise is to PRAY FOR EACH OTHER!
