THE PRAYER OF FAITH


 


THE PRAYER OF FAITH

 

Jas5:13-16 

“Is anyone among you suffering? …Let him PRAY. 

Is anyone cheerful? …Let him sing psalms.

Is any sick among you? …Let him call for the elders of the church; 

and let them PRAY over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: 

And THE PRAYER OF FAITH shall save the sick, 

and the Lord shall raise him up;”

 

 

The word translated “PRAY” is proseuchomai”, which means “an intimate communication with God, exchanging your wishes, desires, and perspective for HIS” so you now speak from HIS perspective… declare HIS kingdom come and HIS will be done right here on THIS EARTH just like it is in Heaven!

 

So… Are you suffering?

Have “an intimate communication with God, exchanging your wishes, desires, and perspective for HIS” and DECLARE THAT

Are any of you sick?  

Call for the elders and let them have “an intimate communication with God, exchanging their wishes, desires, and perspective for HIS” and they will DECLARE THAT!

 

AND WHAT “WILL SAVE (sozo – heal, preserve, get on well, prosper, make whole) THE SICK… 

 

THE PRAYER OF FAITH

HMMMMMMM… what is that?

“PRAYER” – Greek: euche – a prayer comprising a vow; a prayer, vow

While it translated above as “PRAYER”, every other time it’s translated as “VOW” (Acts18:18;21:23)

And what is a “VOW”?  

It is used throughout history as a solemn promise… an oath or pledge… often included in covenant… usually with God as witness… 

Or in the case where God makes a vow… He swears by Himself, since there is no greater (Heb6:13)

 

“OF FAITH” tes pisteos: generative/imperative article making the following noun a possessive command… becoming “FAITH’S”

 

“THE PRAYER OF FAITH” literally is “FAITH’S PROMISE OR VOW!

 

NOW FAITH IS the evidence and substance of seeing all things from God’s point of view… being seated in Christ at the right hand of the Father in Heavenly places (Heb11:1;Eph1:20;2:6)

 

WE NOW speak what HE believes… What HE has promised!... Declaring the covenant of God sealed in the blood of Jesus Christ over whatever situation before us!

 

THAT’S WHAT SAVES THE SICK!

 

THAT’S WHY THE LORD RAISES THEM UP!

 

IT’S HIS VOW!

THE FOOD PRAYER

  THE FOOD PRAYER   Paul, on the topic of abstaining from certain foods, explicitly tells Timothy, “…For EVERYTHING God has created is GOOD , and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with GRATITUDE ; for it is SANCTIFIED [set apart, dedicated to God] by means of the WORD OF GOD and PRAYER .” (1Ti4:4-5AMP)     Most of us have been taught from a young age to pray for our food. We don't necessarily know “WHY”… BUT WE DO IT… …even into our old age, knowing it is something “proper” to be done, becoming just another thoughtless, religious mantra chanted as a precursor to satiating our appetite.   We have even invented clever, rhyming “prayers” easily remembered and quoted by children. The one my dad taught me:                    “Down with your head… up with your paws… thank the good Lord for the use of your jaws”     Now… was I receiving that bologna sandwich with gratitude?    ...

THE DAILY LOAD

  THE DAILY LOAD   “Blessed be the Lord Who daily loads us with benefits, The God of our salvation! Selah” (Ps68:19)   The word, “selah” is used throughout the Psalms and other Hebrew music and poetry as a notation similar to “a rest” in our modern music. However, it indicates a broader word picture of… “to pause and consider or reflect in order to lift up and exalt the topic just sung or played.”   So… that is exactly what I did after reading this verse… I SELAH’D… meditating on each word and phrase to get the thought, intent, purpose, and motive infused into what was said: ·        Blessed – to offer gratitude with a physical expression of submission, humility, and reverence in relationship during prayer and worship. ·        Lord - Adonay – the ONLY ONE with sovereign power, majesty, and undisputed right of decision ·        Daily – day to day to day… ad infinitum [Lam3:22...

The Perfect Will of God

  The Perfect Will of God   Rom12:2  “…Do not be CONFORMED to this WORLD , but be TRANSFORMED by the RENEWING of your MIND , that you may PROVE WHAT IS that GOOD and ACCEPTABLE and PERFECT WILL OF GOD .”   I was always taught that there were three different WILLS of God… And you are placed in one WILL or another determined by your maturity level, your faith, and your closeness to God.   However… let's dissect this verse to clearly see the intent behind each part.   ·        CONFORMED – properly means: assuming a similar  outward  form (expression) by following the same  pattern  (model, mold). ·        WORLD - properly, an  age  ( era , "time-span"),  characterized by a specific quality  (type) of existence ·        TRANSFORMED - metamorphóō - changing form or shape in keeping with a transformed inner reality...
