Romans 8:26 Likewise, the Spirit also helps our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
Romans 8:27 And he that searches the hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because he makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God…. In other words, if it is indeed the case that one prays in Jesus’ name they will get an answer, period. In fact, when you think about it carefully, in many cases where the answers were not forthcoming, the cause might be that the requests were not made in Jesus’ name.
That’s because whenever prayer requests are made in His name, you will get an answer, whether it be a Yes, a No, or Wait. This leads us to another passage that deals with the issue of getting answers to prayer, in cases where the request is for healing. This one is huge, because to put it frankly, if one is sick, and a prayer request is made for healing we’ll most likely expect, and hope that the answer is a Yes.
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…. But, according to the title of the study, the answers could also be a No, or a Wait. That’s why earlier, we cautioned against interpreting some of the passages in an absolute manner. Line must be upon line, and precept upon precept, lest we take one passage and run with it, before studying other related passages.
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.
May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
