James 5:13-16 Part 2

Is any one of you in trouble? He should pray. Is anyone happy? Let him sing songs of praise. Is any one of you sick? He should call the elders of the church to pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise him up. If he has sinned, he will be forgiven. Therefore confess you sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.

And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well
James 1:6 But when he asks, he must believe and not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.

Therefore confess you sins to each other
Matthew 3:6 Confessing their sins, they were baptized by him in the Jordan River.
Acts 19:18 Many of those who believed now came and openly confessed their evil deeds.

and pray for each other so that you may be healed
Hebrews 12:13 "Make level paths for your feet," so that the lame may not be disabled, but rather healed.
1 Peter 2:24 He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed.

The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.
Matthew 7:7 "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you."
John 9:31 "We know that God does not listen to sinners. He listens to the godly man who does his will."
