Prayer of Faith Shall Save the Sick by Jonas Clark

The following is an article from Jonas Clark that I love and originally was here: http://www.jonasclark.com/blog/prayer-faith/

The prayer of faith is so powerful it can heal the sick. Scripture says, “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” (James 5:15).

Faith is believing that God will do what he said he would do.

Faith is not just believing in your heart, faith is associated with an action. An action is visible and not hidden. Jesus said, “Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house” (Matthew 5:15).

Prayer is communicating with God.

The prayer of faith is believing what God said, agreeing with what God said, declaring what God said, and acting on what God said. Paul wrote, “We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak” (2 Corinthians 4:13). If you are sick, you want someone to believe with you for God’s healing virtue. You see, faith activates the anointing.

God responds to faith, not needs.

In other words, faith grabs hold of God’s promises. By faith mountains move, storms give up and quit, and demons flee. Faith pleases God. “But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him” (Hebrews 11:6).

The prayer of faith is not a pharisaical religious prayer. No, the prayer of faith touches God. It’s a heartfelt serious prayer. James wrote the prayer of faith is certain, fixed, and steadfast. “But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord” (James 1:6-7).

One day a cripple was listening to Apostle Paul preach. Paul saw faith rising in the man’s heart. “And there sat a certain man at Lystra, impotent in his feet, being a cripple from his mother’s womb, who never had walked: The same heard Paul speak: who stedfastly beholding him, and perceiving that he had faith to be healed, Said with a loud voice, Stand upright on thy feet. And he leaped and walked” (Acts 14:7-10). That’s the prayer of faith!

Faith sees the answer. Faith sees the victory. Faith touches the hem of Christ’s garment.

Which Covenant Was Jesus Under Before Dying on the Cross?

The answer is the Old Covenant. Galatians 4:4 KJV But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, Jesus was born under the law and was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel. Matthew 15:24 KJV But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. Because Jesus lived under the covenant of law, His words line up with that covenant as He spoke to the Jews. Under the old covenant the only blood ever shed for people was animal blood which had no power to forgive sins or perfect the believer before God. (Heb. 7:19; 9:9; 10:1-4; 11:40) Animal's blood could only cover/atone for sin until the Lamb of God would come and take away the sin of the world and remove it as far as the east is from the west and remember it no more. John 1:29 KJV The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world. If you are a true believer the...

Believers Have the Holy Spirit and Have Been Given Power to Use the Authority Jesus Has Obtained

Jesus sits far above all principality and power and might and dominion and over every name that is named. Believers have been given the Holy Spirit and because of that we also have been charged with going out and telling the good news to others and we are equipped to do anything that Jesus has for us to do accessing the authority placed in us through Jesus. Ephesians 1:20-21 KJV Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places, Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come: After Jesus rose from the dead he said the following: Matthew 28:18-19 KJV And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20 Teaching them to observe a...

Believer You Are Righteous! White As Snow

If you are a believer in Jesus Christ you have peace with God having been reconciled with God and you have the Holy Spirit of God living in you to teach you and to comfort you and to lead you. You are righteous in Jesus because of what He did on Calvary by the shedding of His blood. You are forgiven of all your sin and have been translated from the Kingdom of Darkness into the Kingdom of Light. Believe it. 1 John 1:7 KJV But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. So what cleanses us from all our sin? The blood of Jesus Christ. And Jesus actually became sin even though he knew no sin so that we could be made righteous. If Jesus made you righteous then you are righteous. To disagree with that is disagreeing with what God has done. It is not humble to say that you are not righteous, rather it is the height of pride. Ironi...
