The Power of Prayer

¹³ Anyone who is having troubles should pray. Anyone who is happy should sing praises.¹⁴ Anyone who is sick should call the church's elders. They should pray for and pour oil on the person in the name of the Lord.¹⁵ And the prayer that is said with faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will heal that person. And if the person has sinned, the sins will be forgiven.¹⁶ Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so God can heal you. When a believing person prays, great things happen.¹⁷ Elijah was a human being just like us. He prayed that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the land for three and a half years!¹⁸ Then Elijah prayed again, and the rain came down from the sky, and the land produced crops again.

Saving a Soul

¹⁹ My brothers and sisters, if one of you wanders away from the truth, and someone helps that person come back,²⁰ remember this: Anyone who brings a sinner back from the wrong way will save that sinner's soul from death and will cause many sins to be forgiven.

I WISH YOU A DAY FILLED WITH LOVE, LAUGHTER, FORGIVENESS AND THANKSGIVING-JASPER
