James 5:16: Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results.
Observation: Is it so hard to confess our sins? I think its hard to confess sin because I've more than likely condemned someone else for theirs. Nobody wants to feel condemned! And that's exactly what we do if we don't pray and have concern for others that share their struggles with us. We should look at every sin (whether our own or someone else's) as an offence to God that might keep us from entering the Kingdom of heaven. I don't know about you, but I've not met anyone I've wanted to see cast into hell, or even to not be healed!
Application: I have to learn to trust my brothers in Christ to the point I can confess my sins and even my struggles. I hope they will pray for me and walk beside me with words of encouragement and wisdom. How powerful would we be if all our christian brothers and sisters would earnestly pray for each other instead of condemn and gossip behind each there backs. You know, like when we say. "I can't believe so and so did that!" I know only a fool would say, "That will never happen to me!"
Prayer: Heavenly Father I pray that you would put people in my life I can trust, and that will pray for me. People that have hearts that want to see all brothers and sisters healed and taken to haven. Help me Lord in all my relationships, in Jesus name I pray....A-men
