“The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results.” James 5:16
” Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace. Your suffering is over.” Mark 5:34
How often is the prayer outlet used in your life? Is it used daily or is it used only when you need something from God? God’s word tells us in James 5 that a person in right standing with God has great power and produces wonderful results. In Mark 34 we see the woman with the issue of blood. She believed that if she could just touch the rim of his gown that she would be healed. Her faith had been strengthened by hearing of his great miracles and built even stronger by seeing him. She had plugged into her source of strength, her faith. She knew without a doubt, what the result would be. Jesus confirmed that by telling her that her faith had healed her. You and I are also in need of being righteous in the Lord. We are to read and meditate upon his word daily. We are to pray to him constantly. We are to live our lives with strength and not weakness. Our faith is to be strong and unwavering. When we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior our life changes. Our mindset becomes one of trust and love and patience. We, however, are in control of keeping our faith strong and not allowing it to become weak. We are in control of how much we stay in contact with our Lord. We are to build our faith and continue to build our faith daily. We are to talk with him daily. We are to praise him daily. We are to stay plugged into our source and never unplug. This is not easy and our God in heaven never told us it would be. He did, however, give us the tools to make our lives worthy. He sent his Holy Spirit to give us direction, guidance and help. He provides us with instructions on how to follow our Lord. You and I must be able to stay in contact and follow him through every tribulation we may encounter. We must never lose contact but instead always stay plugged in. Remember, we must believe we receive because our God in heaven is our Source! PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL THINGS!
