Is any one of you in trouble (afflicted)? He should pray. Is anyone happy? Let him sing songs of praise. 14Is any one of you sick? He should call the elders of the church to pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord. 15And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise him up. If he has sinned, he will be forgiven. 16Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective. James 5:13-16
This is the day that we join together to worship our Lord and Savior. Whether you attend New Harvest or will be worshiping in another Sanctuary we will believe together, that God is going to heal and restore. When the time comes for you to seek God for your miracle do not hesitate to move. Do not listen to the doubt or fear brought on by the enemy, but rather listen to the voice of God. I do not know why God chooses to heal some and others have to wait. That is the wisdom of God. He knows what is best and when it is best served. I do know that if you do not approach God with faith and an earnest desire for healing you will not receive anything. Perhaps that is why we fear the prayer of faith. The "what if" looms over us with such intimidation that we would rather suffer than take the so called "risk." What? There is no risk! With God all things are possible and He sincerely desires that you be free from affliction and disease. The only question is when will you receive the healing! Seek the Lord and find your healing in His Word. I already know that He will be there with us today. I have few notes to preach because I believe He will take the service and the Holy Spirit will drive us to the Throne of Grace. Trust in His Word, seek His face, and push past the crowd to touch Him!
God Bless
