James 5:13-15
KJV 13 Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let him sing psalms. 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.
WEB 13 Is any among you suffering? Let him pray. Is any cheerful? Let him sing praises. 14 Is any among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the assembly, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord, 15 and the prayer of faith will heal him who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up. If he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.
These are my thoughts, please share yours.
13 We need to prayer, God wants to hear from us and we need to pour our grief and sorrow out to Him. When we are doing well, we should worship, this isn’t saying we don’t worship in hard times and isn’t saying that we don’t pray during good times but is saying that we pour it out to the Lord.
14-15 The sick should be prayed over, God can bring healing. Oil symbolized the Spirit. This was done in the belief God would heal them, this healing doesn’t work without faith.
