Discuss James 5 Page 11

I have heard from an elder that when asked to do this that someimes God has revealed sin as the culprit while other times God has healed.

LaVerne,here are a few Scriptures on healing. Je. 30:13-Matt.4:23-Lu.9:6-Acts10:38 and I am sure you just read this chapter 5 in Ja. 5:14,15. Noting the pray of faith and anointing the sick with oil or olive oil signifying the Holy Ghost who actually perform the healing through men.

Dear LaVerne. I don 't think I would qualify as a church elder but I sure will pray for you! May God enable you to heal and stay strong in faith, in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen!

good book

In the last days gold and silver will be absolutely worthless as the mark of the beast totally controls all financial assets. These things that have always had a price in the past will be nothing but a burden under Antichrist for everyone living on this earth...they will be able to sit on it while they starve to death.

Elijah was a man like us subject to temptation,but I strongly believe that he did not yield to the temptation of sin. The same Elijah said Scripture says 2 Kings 5:16. But he said, As the LORD lives, before whom I stand..... So, I would rather say that Elijah was a man like us, faced with the same temptations that we face, but was a man who gave himself to personal fellowship and communion with God. He had a right standing with God so he could decree things and have it established.

Everyone needs to swear when attending court because it is the law. It doesn 't mean that Christian need not swear. Please read Romans 13:1-7. Thanks

Interesting... Does this mean that Christians do not have to swear on the Bible when summoned to appear before court?

the way i see it,allow me to be straight to the point there are many christians who would not dare go there.they want to appear they have it all together pure and righteous or they would not want a fellow brother or sister in Christ to know their garbage.a lack of trust in the body of Christ is one of the biggest problems in the Church of today.remember Christ came for the sinner,not the righteous.i would love to see us practice literally James 5 16.revival would happen !

There 's this simile "As ugly as sin ". But as ugly as our sins or faults may look, God wants us to unburden them to one another so as to be remembered in prayer by our brethren. There are a lot of Christians who could have half solved their challenge of sin by just confessing sharing to one another, but their problem is that they can 't trust their brethren with their secrets, weakness and shortcomings. If only their confessed sins, shortcomings and weakness will remain a prayer topic other than an information for distribution, believers would overcome their sins faults and sickness easily because " the fervent effectual prayer of intercessors is powerful and effective to produce wonderful result " So anytime you hear of a brethren 's sin fault sickness, weakness do not thank God that you 're not like that brethren Luke 18 11 12 but interceed for for him.

The book of James is showing me how to live in a world full of troubles I am in a 12 step program that teaches this.

God word is plain and simple to understand.He do not speak in riddles,He speaks so you will understand, yet there are those that try to add to His word or change it to their way of thinking.Where is your faith ? Either believe God or make Him a lie , God is not a man that He should lie Numbers 23 19 Read James 4 8 AMEN and Amen

in the apocryphal hidden books, there is james chapter 18 4. can 't seem to get into this now i did read about this chapter. where james saw time stand still. called the suspension of time. can you tell me where is it on the internet. apocryphal hidden book thank you

It gives hope to the sick and assurance that God hears prayers and being happy is acceptable for Christians

Kindly give me an accurate note on the word "rust "contextually to the text James 5 3.thankfully.....

love the book of James, it remind when my son was very sick. i went into dip sleep and woke up sweating, some talk to me and ask to read the Bible chapter 5 verse 15. i confused, i wasn 't going to any church at the time.i prayed and ask GOD for forgiveness. After few days he was fine and i found a church and told but no one believed me.I thank God because i everything is explained in BIBLE.LUCY

Very Powerful! Pray For Your Neighbors As We Pray For Ourselves. Wait On The Arrival Of God 's Light! Be Saved,and Healed! I Enjoyed The Blessing Of James

P. Petr yes any Christ Man Christian can annoint

my believe is that whenever you pray to GOD everything is already done for you as promised in the book of John 14v12 14 and only faith and believe works.

Bonnie Skillman. David said in Ps 51 my sin is ever before me. My sins are ever before me, it helps not to sin more when I think how I have sinned, God bless you. Ps 51 3

In Response to Bonnie Skillman. Quote "I would but I can 't because it happened so long ago that if I was to confess it would probably kill my mother. She is 78 and in poor health. " Bonnie, if you have confessed and totally repented of this sin, you are covered by the blood of this sin. If this sin is still festering in you then you are being convicted by the Holy Ghost to reveal this to your mother or release it to someone you totally trust. husband, Pastor, Christian counselor just to name a few. Let them pray with you and allow God to give you the right direction on how to go on from there. Whatever this sin was it will not keep you out of heaven, for if you confess your sins He is faithful to forgive and throw your sin in the sea of forgetfulness never to be remembered again by Him not us. With love in Christ Jesus our Lord, Rev Frank

Well technically the word "faults " is not the same as "sin " in the original greek, however it is referring to the same thing as sin...going against what his word teaches. It is a transgression against his law. However in the context where this word is used, it implies a deeper meaning. A sinful condition that causes a variety of sins. It is the difference between saying "I stole 5 dollars " and "I am a thief, I covet, I envy, I lie about it, and I need you brother to help me by holding me accountable if need be...pray for me, support me, love me in spite of my faults because I cannot seem to control this by myself. " Thats why this verse is followed by the story of Elias...big things can happen in a congregation when we have the courage to follow this teaching. In fact we can "hide a multitude of sins "...why? Because we get to the root of the problem. In fact, James says to tell anyone who is willing to "BEAR ONE ANOTHER 'S BURDENS " that they are helping to save that person from death and Hell. This is the most underestimated verse in the scriptures. We don 't teach it, encourage it..be willing to show the example, reward one for doing so. Nor do we expect the receiver to be responsible for the erring brother. It is one of the greatest commandments and purpose to the Lord 's Church. "Lord, how many times should I forgive my brother? "....get the point? You should. Jesus always got to the root of the problem in a person 's life ...every time.

What I get out of this is Jesus want us to go to the one we have done wrong to and tell them u are sorry for whatever happen between u and them.after u do that go to Jesus and repent.and when u tell the other person you are sorry and they don 't receive it u have done your part.now it on them .do not worry do not let anyone send u to hell because of unforgiveness in your hart.

I like the scripture of James confession is a power full weapon.

This Scripture is not telling us to confess our sins one to another. We are not able to bear sins!! We confess our sins to Jesus. He 's telling us to repent and make peace with one another. pray for one another, because the "effectual fervent prayers of the righteous man availeth much "! Your prayers that you send up for one another, moves God, and action soon begins to take place. God is the only one who can take Sin.... by you confessing your sins to me, there 's nothing I can do with it..

I would but I can 't because it happened so long ago that if I was to confess it would probably kill my mother. She is 78 and in poor health.

I get so much from others comments on here. It Blesses me. I believe that the Lord is talking about confessing your faults and or sins to another that you can trust to be discreet and without judging and or condemning To pray with you That way they know what they are dealing with and will know how to pray for you and with you about the matter you are going through .Confession dealing with it is half the battle and if your willing obedient to turn around. I do not believe that we are to tell every one in the Church of our sins. so on. Just those that are faithful to bear your burden with you. God Bless

James have some dynamic insight into salvation. The last verses 17 20 are phenomal. The part about saving someone from their sins rings loud and clear. People like to believe that means you coverup sin. Letting the sinner remain in sin. It means a person gets saved out of sin and the sin that they did has no future nor is remembered by GOD. After all are we or are we not children of the only wise GOD.

I agree with the word that says every believer can anoint the sick and also look at this, the word of God says that sons and daughters shall prophesy did the Lord say prophets shall prophesy no and the putting of hands on sick was not only directed to the pastors but to anyone who believes and has faith as little as the mustard seed
