How Often Do We Pray For One Another?
-Do we pray more for things than we pray for one another?
-Do we wait for others to call us with a problem before we pray for them?
James 5:16 tells us to:
Confess your faults one to another, and PRAY ONE FOR ANOTHER, THAT ALL OF YOU MAY BE HEALED. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.
EMPHASIS:
A. PRAY ONE FOR ANOTHER…
B. THAT ALL OF YOU MAY BE HEALED… (Please note that we also receive HEALING when we pray for one another).
In Luke 18:1 , Jesus said :
…that men ought always to pray, and not to faint.
Prayer and Forgiveness work together,
Mark 12:25-26 says:
” And when all of you stand praying, FORGIVE, if all of you have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may FORGIVE you your trespasses.
But if all of you do not FORGIVE, neither will your Father which is in heaven FORGIVE your trespasses.
•UNFORGIVENESS breaks our fellowship with God and it gives the devil entrance to our lives.
•Forgiveness from our hearts toward others keeps us in fellowship with God. Forgiveness is one of the many ways of submitting ourselves to God while resisting the devil so he the devil will flee from us.
•Remember UNFORGIVENESS is SIN, and if we have the SIN of UNFORGIVENESS in our hearts God will not FORGIVE us of our sins nor answer our prayers.
“Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.”[ Ephesians 3 :20-21 NKJV].
-Please pray for me as I continue to pray for you.
•Continue to walk in LOVE and FORGIVENESS and Let the Word of God be the standard for your life.
+++Blessed you are and blessed you will always be and to God be all the glory. Amen!
