Is Any Sick Among You?

 


James 5:14-16

Is any among you sick?  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

and the prayer of faith shall save him that is sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, it shall be forgiven him.

Confess therefore your sins one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed.

The supplication of a righteous man availeth much in its working.


I love the whole book of James.  I used to carry a little perfume bottle full of olive oil, as part of my kit.  Its been a while.  Maybe I should find another little bottle.

Isn't James grand!  What lovely concepts.
