EFFECTUAL PRAYER OF A GODLY MAN
JAMES 5:14
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:
JAMES 5:15
15 And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord
shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be
forgiven him.
JAMES 5:16
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.
JAMES 5:17
17 Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he
prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the
earth by the space of three years and six months.
JAMES 5:18
18 And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the
earth brought forth her fruit.

prayer is the most vital force that God ever put into the
hand of mankind. The most effective force that's known to man,
is prayer. Do you believe that? It is. It's prayer that changes
things.

Now, see what prayer does? Prayer is not exactly bringing
God down to man. It's bringing man up to God. See? As you
pray, you lose--you lose sight of these earthly things.

You sway out into somewhere else, way beyond, and on and on
and on, till you be come into His Presence. And then a--a faith
that you have laid it out before God, said, "Now here, God, here it
is.
And I--I want to get well for, this cause. " Or, "I want You to do
this for me, for this cause. I want You to heal me from--from-from this cancer, or this TB or--or this anemia condition," or
whatever it is. "I will walk before You, I will--I will do everything
I can.
I will give this testimony everywhere I go. I will be happy to do
that, Lord. And I will use my life, not for myself. I will--I will use
it for Your glory, to help others to see You. "
