The Pastor's Pulpit
Are any sick among you?

James.5: 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:

: 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.

Now listen!  As a so called Christian Nation, it’s either we believe God’s word or we don’t; simple as that. The time has come and gone for us to stop pretending and playing church; do you know or does it matter to you that sickness and diseases are rapidly snuffing out the lives of our love ones, friends, neighbors, co-workers and church members?  

Here’s a rhetorical question!

How is it that with all of the information (so-called revelation) circulating in the church world today; the church is yet powerless against sickness / diseases and cringes in its boots at the NAME of diseases such as Aids, Cancer, etc.

The church hasn’t really gotten the true revelation of this! That there is power in the name of Yahshua Messiah (a.k.a. Jesus the Christ), and due to the lack of this revelation and erroneous religious teachings the church is often troubled and tormented by every other name that comes against it.  

But here’s what the bible says about the name of Yahshua Messiah: “Phil.2: 9. Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:

: 10. That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth”

James asked the church this question “Is any sick among you?” and if any is sick, he told them what to do; “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:

One of the greatest challenges today’s church face as it relates to receiving God’s healing power is that of having elders / mature saints that can pray the prayer of faith. No matter the sickness, the prayer of faith is a very powerful weapon that produces great results. “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”

Could it be that when the church is called upon by the sick, rather than the elders praying the prayer of faith; those that do go to pray, go more from the mind-set of investigating how the sickness came about?   And based upon the findings (the name of the sickness or disease) a somewhat conclusion is made; and a weak, watered down, powerless prayer is made by the religious investigators.  As a Pastor, I’m amazed at how supposedly anointed saints are being held hostage and are terrified at the names of various sickness and diseases.

Notwithstanding that the bibles says in “Phil.2: 9. Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name.

At the name of Yahshua Messiah, Aids has to bow, Cancer has to bow, Lupus and every other form of sickness and disease has to bow no matter which name they’re called by. The sad thing about today’s church is that it has allowed erroneous religious beliefs and teachings to contaminate its faith / relationship.

As you’re reading this article, I declare unto you that the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob (Father Yahweh) is a healer; here’s what the bible says about Him “Ps.107:20. He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.

Watch this !

Ps.103: 2.   Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:

: 3.   Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;

There’s no sickness and disease that God can’t heal; the million dollar question is this: “Do you believe?”   It’s most disturbing when I hear this saying “Lord, if it’s your will heal brother or sister” it’s even more disturbing when this type of prayer / saying can be heard coming from religious leaders; this proves to be another classic case of ignorance at work from the position of leadership.

Because, it is His will to heal; His will and His word are one, and again here’s what the scripture says about His word: “Ps.107:20. He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.

On the streets this level of ignorance that’s being displayed by the religious mind-set would be described in this manner “When ya dumb, ya dangerous”

The scripture says it this way: Hosea.4: 6. My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge,

My sincere prayer and hope is that “People would mature beyond their religious, stinking thinking and seek the uncompromised truth of God’s word” Whiles I try to respect everybody’s views and opinions, whenever those views and opinions are contrary to God’s word; I make no apology in kicking them to the curb.  

Please hear me!

It is your covenant rights to be healed from whatever kind of sickness and disease that’s inflicting your body; find / connect with one or two persons who won’t wavier in their faith concerning your healing and unite with them in the prayer of faith; no matter the process and how things might look, you remain prayerful and faithful as your healing will manifest.   Is any sick among you?
