ARTICLE: THE POWER OF A PRAYER OF A 
RIGHTEOUS MAN/WOMAN IS 
POWERFUL AND EFFECTIVE

"Confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayers of a righteous man is powerful and effective" (James 5:16).

The more I walk on this journey with JESUS Christ, the more I desire to walk in accordance with Father God's Word. We all stumble and fall on "The Road Less Traveled", and we were never promised that we would NEVER face storms (or any trials and tribulations). JESUS told us that we would face many trials in this life, HOWEVER, He would never leave us alone to have to walk through the storms, floods, fires, or any other trial (or persecution). For anyone who was made to believe that when you became a Christian you would be free from such challenges, we must remember Father's Word tells us "The rain falls on the Just and the Unjust alike" (Matthew 5:45). What this means is We, as CHRISTIANS, are not going to be spared from the storms of life. BUT we will ALWAYS have the "Hand of The Shepherd" to lead us through it all! The Bible encourages us - "Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for your God, Will Never leave nor forsake you" (Deuteronomy 31:6).

I find great comfort in knowing we are not alone in our footage on this journey. The scripture reference above (James 5:16) encourages us to share our challenges with one another and to pray together so we can be healed and strong enough to overcome various challenges on our journey. In Truth, I CANNOT DO THIS ALONE MY BELOVED BROTHERS AND SISTERS. I NEED YOU AND WE NEED EACH OTHER! There is a battle that rages all around Father God's People, and if our eyes were open to the spiritual realm, I believe we would be amazed at how our prayers for one another ignites action from The Angels, to go forth in battle on our behalf. PRAISE GOD ALMIGHTY FOR THIS TRUTH! Amen! "He will alive His angels charge concerning you. To guard you in all your ways" (Psalm 91:11).

The Bible tells us to not find it strange when we are faced with trials (see below):

1 Peter 4:12-14 says, "Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal among you, which comes upon you for your testing, as though some strange thing were happening to you; but to the degree that you share the sufferings of Christ, keep on rejoicing, so that also at the revelation of His glory you may rejoice with exultation. If you are reviled for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you.…"

In truth, WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER AND NO DENOMINATION, DOCTRINAL OR CULTURAL DIFFERENCES WILL MATTER IN THE END-- THOSE WALLS THAT HAVE KEPT THE BODY OF CHRIST FROM UNITING AS ONE VOICE OF TRUTH, AND PREVENTED US FROM BEING IN A STANCE OF HOLY AND DIVINE UNITY, WILL FINALLY FALL; AND THESE DIFFERENCES THAT HAVE CAUSED STRIFE AND DIVISION WITHIN "THE BODY OF CHRIST" WILL COME TO AN END. WHEN THIS DOES HAPPEN IT IS GOING TO BE ALL ABOUT JESUS CHRIST, THE KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS, THE LAMB OF GOD AND THE LION OF JUDAH! My beloved, He IS COMING BACK VERY SOON - AND HIS BRIDE WILL BE WITHOUT SPOT, BLEMISH OR WRINKLE" (Ephesians 5:26-27 says, "that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word, 27 that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish".

Again, I humbly tell you all that I CAN'T DO THIS WALK ALONE-- I DESPERATELY NEED YOU ALL! WE NEED EACH OTHER. In these Last Days, we will represent Father God as "The Light of the World" and "The Salt of the Earth". Great darkness has already begun to fall and I truly believe the Spirit of The Anti-Christ is already active in the world. Father God's People MUST carry forth "The Light of Truth" into a world of "dark deception". We have what those in this world continue to seek after: TRUTH and what this thing called Life really is all about. For those of us who have been blessed to have our eyes open to "The truth that has set us free", we understand Father's purpose for our lives. We have been given divine access to insight and foresight in what season we are currently in in accordance with The Book of Revelation in The Bible. MANY believers and followers of Jesus either don't know, or desire to understand, this particular book of the Bible. But Father God encourages us to seek after understanding so our eyes will be open and we will have wisdom to see the bigger picture of how God's Word (Genesis to Revelation) is a roadmap on "Man's Journey from birth on earth to rebirth in JESUS Christ as a "new creation", to the eventuality of our spending eternity in heaven in what JESUS told us He was going to prepare for those who have chosen to believe and accept him as Lord and Savior.

John 14:1-3 says, "Do not let your heart be troubled; believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father's house are many dwelling places; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you. If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself, that where I am, there you may be also.…"

My beloved Family in Christ, I love you all very much and I pray that we all unite together as "The Body of Christ" and "The Bride of Christ". One day VERY SOON JESUS IS COMING BACK FOR US WHO ARE AUTHENTIC BELIEVERS AND FOLLOWERS OF CHRIST! I use the term "Authentic" because there are those who are (and will be) in error to Apostasy and belief in other gods, but will claim they are "CHRISTIANS". (2 Thessalonians 2:1-3). As we eagerly await for this day, may we ALL be found in the Center of Father's Will for our lives -- found harvesting "the field(s)" He has called us to tend to. SELAH and Amen!
