—James 5:13-18
by: Jasmine Lynch.
Jesus healed many while He walked on earth and often said it was their faith that made them whole (Matthew 9:22; 15:28; Luke 8:50; 17:19). James was part of Jesus’ “inner circle” and knew the importance of faith in healing. We should note that the person exercising faith was not necessarily the person who was being healed. Individuals were healed at times based on the faith of the intercessor, as in the case of the centurion soldier who asked for the healing of his son (Luke 7:9). I have personally witnessed and experienced God’s healing power through prayers from the brethren. Are you regularly praying for healing for others?
