Resurrection Mission Baptist Church of Berkley, Michigan, Oakland County, https://resurrectionmission.com presents Pastor Joseph Chatten with a talk on the subject of "Prayer For the Sick" (James 5:14-16).

We are told to pray without ceasing (1 Thess. 5) including prayer for the sick. Sometimes God has given healing, but not all the times. At other times God has not seen fit to heal the person. A person is sick because of sin, if a person continually sins and does not repent. 1 Cor. 11:10. “For this cause many are sick among you.” We are disciplined by God. Church leaders are responsible for the discipline of God. We are not to pray for some things but for all things. 1 Cor. 5. Paul said to dismiss members who are sinning until they repent. Confess your sins one to another that you might be healed. People are healed by the prayer of faith (verse 15). It is not the anointing that heals but the prayer; God can heal with or without means. It is God who does the healing. What is the prayer of faith? Whatsoever we ask we have the petition according to God’s Will, not man’s will. It is God who does the healing. Rom. 8:26. It is not one individual who is praying but the elders of the local church. The elders should be men above reproach. Disobedience to God can lead to sickness. Sin affects the whole church. Sin has a way of growing and affecting others. Prov. 28:13. Next week we discuss prayer for the nation. Thanks for watching! Please like our videos and subscribe to our channel.
