James 5: 14 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.
We must reiterate that in most instances there will be something for us to do to cooperate with the Lord in having our prayers answered. It may be the confession of sin, obeying some directives He gives, or it may involve addressing lifestyles and habits to deal with the current pandemic. It has been shown that those who have had compromised immune systems are at much greater risk than those who were in a healthier condition.
Therefore, the next logical step in faith is for us to see where we can improve our health, and how we can build up our immune systems, so as to place ourselves in a more favorable condition, as far as resisting Covid is concerned. But for us to do absolutely nothing, while claiming the promise that God will heal our diseases, when we know of significant improvements we can make, will cause our prayers to be put in idle gear.
But whatsoever it may be, let it be known that if prayers are to be answered, there are conditions to be met, and when they are, we may look forward with confidence to God fulfilling His promises to persons in due season. Therefore, we will end this discourse with a passage of scripture which will encourage us all to pray, because it is one of the primary means that God has ordained for questions, requests, and answers to be resolved between God and man.
James 5:15 And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he has committed sins, they shall be forgiven him. 16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
