PRAY WITH POWER

 James 5:16 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

 

 

Because of everything happening in the world today, people all over the world is praying. People of all ages, all cultures, and all languages are praying. People from different religions and denominations are praying. But not all prayers availeth much. Not all prayers are powerful and effective. Here James reveals to us that it’s the Effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man that availeth much! The word “fervent” is translated from the greek word “energios” where we got our word energy from.So in order for us to pray prayers that availeth much, we need two things: 

1)    We need to be righteous. To be righteous, we need to be born again. When we are born again with water and with Spirit, we have his name, and we have his Spirit. When I use and  pray in his name, I have power in prayer others don’t have.

2)    The righteous must pray with energy. Pray in the Holy Ghost! The Holy Ghost is not just something you recieve to be born again. You recieve it to use it in prayer!! Fervent prayer, means pray with energy. Pray with power. Pray in the Holy Ghost.

This does not mean God is not listening to desperate people praying. He does. But I want to pray prayers that goes further, and is stronger. I want to pray with energy that availeth much!!
