Discuss James 5 Page 9

"Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy." Job is a great example of what it means to really know the LORD in this evil world. God's testimony of him from the very beginning was that he was perfect and upright above all others, even when Satan and men accuse and contradict.

Dear Lord thank you for warnings against our corrupt leaders from Isaiah and even James. We pray for our citizens who put trust in leaders who lie and go against God. We are sorry for our babies killed, crying out from the earth. We are sorry for society pushing you and Jesus out, and inviting false religions to influence us. We are sorry Lord for siding with enemies of Israel. Lord, heal us now.

Confess all your faults and pray to one another and always pray to others that they might be heald.Amen Praying for others is the best gift that you can give thank you Jesus for the love your kind and mercy i will praise yoi forever Jehova my provider Shalom

I love reading the WORD each and everyday. Yes I'm a KJV 1611 reader The Epistle of James. Faith without works dead.

The day of Christ is mentioned 3 times in the KJV bible, Philippians 1:10 Philippians 2:16 2 Thessalonians 2:2, and the coming of the Lord, James 5:7 - 5:8 2 Thessalonians 2:1. We all should be waiting for the day of Christ, and not the Day of the LORD, both are totally different. Please read 2 Peter 3:10, Amos 5:18, and Amos 5:20, we should not to be hoping or waiting for the Day of the LORD.

Sean, I just said a prayer for you. Keep in the faith, may God bless you. Amen

James uses some ensamples for us to follow. Job through his suffering he prayed to God, and God brought him out of tribulations,Elias prayed that it might not rain God didn't send any rain. James also said the fervent prayers of the righteous avails much, we must pray without ceasing God shows pity for when we going through hard times and mercy bringing us out every situation the enemy gets us in.

Henrietta; Yes! The Lord Jesus Christ has been given all authority in heaven and on earth; and He has charged us in His name, to proclaim the Glad Tidings to every creature; teaching all men everywhere to keep all His words, everything that He has commanded us; thus also warning the rich that they not foolishly trust in their good things in life, and miss the truth and the word of their salvation.

I see 2 messages: one to the corrupted rich and one to the brethren. The rich will be judged for their fraudulent activities. The brethren are warned to stay pure in heart/ no grudges and to have patience. They are also encouraged to pray earnestly and to pray for the sick to be healed.
Sin and sickness are linked, but both can be remedied by the blood through prayer.

Verse 13 encourages us to express our feelings. When going through troubles we should pray and when rejoicing we should sing out joyfully.

When considering good examples, we should look to the faithful prophets examples as verse 10 encourages us to do.

I also use oil to anointed myself and family but it is the blood of Jesus, that heals us.

Pray for me if you see this comment. I can use every prayer I can get. Thanks

I think that the best thing I can say is that we are praying for your son

Amen, Bruce, well said. It is a dangerous and evil spirit that tries to creep in among the unlearned, undisciplined and inexperienced Believers; that tells them they are special to the Lord, and His ONLY ONES, out of all Christians, "who got it right!" What inevitably happens with that kind of deception and arrogance, an unclean spirit is working in the hidden to overthrow the leadership with sin.

Merlene - Bruce is right - IF the other churches he named do indeed do this. It's your faith in God's healing. Oil should be used, but it's TOTALLY not necessary. I was healed of scoliosis at age 18 in '60 and I had no idea God was real, even tho' I'd heard about him. I th'ot for 10 yrs. I had done the healing - by just walking; then I began learning of HIM. God sees the need, cont.

Irene: there are many churches that anoint with oil :Baptist, Alliance, Methodist and others I can't think of their Names. The ones that anoint with oil believe in healing, but not all believe in Salvation as the Scripture says.Only by the Blood of The Lamb: A tug in The Heart,ask forgiveness, Filled by The Spirit: Matthew 3:11 / Made New 2Corinthians 5:17, "You Will Know!"

Merlene, I am saying that the Bible says, ask and you shall receive, later in the Bible it says for those who are not receiving to examen themelves and what they are asking for. aswell(if it is right)then you also need to believe that it will happen when you ask for it. now God loves you and knows what is best, He says no, yes, or wait, God can and does use all things for His glory and for good.

Only an Apostolic, Jesus name (Pentecostal) church will anoint you with oil, and pray with you at the same time. No other churches believe in healing. And as Colossians 3:17 says, do ALL in the name of Jesus. If you want healing, the TITLES of father, son, and holy ghost, won't do it. God's word itself says - Jesus.

Merlene We take the word of God at its first value The oil is anointing oil If you do go to church do as the word of God says in verses 14-15 With God everything is possible just approach Him with your heart know that He is and He is the regarder of all those who deligently seek Him I want to boost your faith as you need a miracle It's the will of God to heal us Mark 10:46-52 Matt 8:1-3; 15:21-28

Marlene: Oil is that of The Holy Spirit. The Word of God, read a few more verses it's talking about being saved. Yes, I Believe there are Miracles! I read testimonies of other Believers. But not all Believers are healed? He brings Joy to The Saved while in their affliction. Soon it will end. We all will have New Bodies,He will wipe away all tears. No more pain. Forever with No End.Revelation21

Was there a special oil used for healing in James5:14?my son is a quadriplegic due to a car wreck caused by a 'texter' he should've already been walking but he never got the therapies he needed he need a miracle now

The word of God clearly state that we as children of life most high we should be mindful of the things that will keep us preserve from the riches and treasures of this life.nothing is wrong with having wealth but when we choose wealth over the things of God we are in trouble ,so let not set our hearts on things of this lif but instead focus on God.

God is so good he want us to open up our eyes. To see how good he is to us I really love the with all my heart.

Study His Word from Genesis to Revelation's show yourself approved. It is your safeguard so if others miss quote Scripter or print it wrong you will know. Stay near the Cross. Bring others with you.

God really loves us that's why he sent his Son Jesus Christ to us so that we can have life in abundance. God is merciful and faithful to his words. Our job now is to accept Jesus as the Son of the living God and obey his words and praise and worship him only. Thanks to the blood of Jesus always. Think and talk about his blood. Thank you Jesus for giving us unconditional love and peace. Amen

Very true, these words.

James assures me that the ways of the world, as unrighteous as they are and seeming to go on without being stopped are not the true reality. What is real is the way of God and He would like me to pay attention to this. Just to continue, by His grace, in His ways
