PRAY FOR EACH OTHER!

JAMES 5: 17

"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 have a problem? What if the problem involves someone you love or care about? Every time you have a need, you should have a prayer, asking for the Lord's help! Remember the essence of the First Commandment of God. Always keep the first thing first, seek the Lord and PRAY FOR EACH OTHER! Our One Truth Today tells us to confess our sins to each other and then PRAY FOR EACH OTHER! The promise is that so you may be healed. We are told that the earnest prayers of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results. Do not be tempted to seek that kind of power from fallible sources or substitutes for God's wisdom. Bring any problem, sickness or concern to the Lord!

Implied in this scripture is the fact that before you can make a righteous prayer for another you must confess your sins to God. By confessing your sins to other like minded righteous persons you are being accountable and faithful to the Word of the Lord. By joining them in prayer you can be powerful and achieve wonderful results through your earnest prayers. Where two or three of you are gathered, there is the Lord in your midst, listening to your prayers and requests. The Lord will hear your prayers and you can influence the will of God. There is great power in prayer and the Lord wants us to know that we should PRAY FOR EACH OTHER!

No man is an island unto himself. By joining with other believer's and righteous brothers and sisters we can see a dynamic and synergistic power that increases the prayers made to the Lord! We must never neglect the gathering together of the brethren, for purposes just such as those indicated here. Hear the Word of the Lord. Put the Word of the Lord into action in your life and be a doer of the Word not just a hearer. God honors those who honor His Word.
PRAY FOR EACH OTHER!
