The Call For The Afflicted, 4

James 5:13-18

Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let him sing psalms. Is any sick 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; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him. Confess [your] faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months.

The unpopular idea of confession as in the Roman Catholic Church tradition, people to a priest, is unscriptural. The auricular or listening ear for confession in James 5:16 is based on an equal exchange, confessing one to another. When we fail to study (2 Timothy 3:16-17; Acts 8:30; 2 Timothy 2:15) the Word, we fail to capture the Truth (John 14:6; John 8:32; John 17:17). The subjective analysis is, if I pray for you, you pray for me. Can we pray together?

Jehovah Tsaba, LORD of Hosts - 1 Samuel 17:45 - we thank You for being our Lord of Host. We praise You for clarifying the understanding of confessing our faults to pray for each other. Therefore, we declare and decree the blessing (the indwelling of the Holy Spirit) upon those who learn the Truth about confessing one to another; so that we who understand the power of prayer can confess with discretion. Now, for the Kingdom and Glory of God, we petition, with the anointing of the Holy Ghost, in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord, and Savior, Amen.
