Is There Any Sick Among You?

Is any among you?

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 the sick,

and the Lord shall raise him up…

- James 5: 14,15

Oil itself has no healing properties, but in both the Old and New Testaments, it is used symbolically to depict the Presence of the Holy Spirit. By anointing the sick person with oil, the elder uses a tangible substance to declare that the Spirit of God is coming upon the infirmed to bring His healing power. Although the oil itself doesn’t heal, the moment it is applied in prayer is the critical moment for the sick person to believe that God’s Presents is coming upon him to bring healing to his sick body.

If you know anyone who is gravely ill or weak that he is unable to come to church to receive prayer for his healing, let that person know he has a scriptural right to call for the elders of thee local church to come aniont him with oil and pray the prayer of faith.

Our Confession For Today

I confess that I am quick to help the gravely ill remember that they have the right to call on the elders of their local church to come anoint them with oil and pray the prayer of faith for their recovery. The moment that the prayer of faith is prayed, God’s power will be released - and that power will literally raise up the sick from the bed of affliction and out of the sickness that has disabled them. Jesus purchased healing for all believers. All they have to do is exercise their right to receive their healing by faith, and they will walk free of physical sickness and disease.

I declare this By faith in Jesus’ name!

Have a great day everyone and God bless you all!

For God’s Glory,

Pastor Tom
