James 5:13-16 13 Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray. Is anyone cheerful? Let him sing praise. 14 Is 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. 15 And 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. 16 Therefore, 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
God wants us to pray just as Jesus prayed as a man; Jesus prayed without ceasing, day and night. Jesus tells us that we are suffering and we should pray for healing, but this is not referring to a physical sickness; He’s talking about a Spiritual sickness caused by; misfortune, unforgiveness, poor choices, or generation’s courses. But, remember prayer is not a magical guarantee of spiritual healing, but the Word says “prayer offered fervently by a righteous person, God will respond in a way that serves His purpose.
Jehovah-Rapha, we are spiritual sick and suffering, but You are the God who heals and has intimate knowledge of our pain and suffering. So we ask You for hope, comfort, healing, and Spiritual growth; give us a strong desire for the things of the Spirit. Father, You said “if we listen carefully to the voice of the Lord our God and do what is right in His eyes if we pay attention to Your commands and keep Your decrees. You will not bring on us any of the diseases You brought on the Egyptians, for You are the Lord who heals. So we lay all spiritual and physical sickness at the altar with faith that You will keep Your promise and heal us. Father, we ask that You remove every generational course and all demonic spirits from around us, our children, and our children’s children; and all the obstacles that hinder our blessings. So search our hearts and minds and remove all that would keep us from sitting at Your feet. Baptize us with the Holy Spirit that will compel us to do good, be forgiving and honor You, in Jesus name, Amen
