Faith in Sickness

"And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise him up. If he has sinned, he will be forgiven. Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective." James 5:15-16 NIV

We or someone we love will one day become ill. It may be sickness that can be treated and thus cured, but it may also be terminal. Through these difficult times, we must remember that God is with us and will give us strength.

Many evangelical Christians believe if they pray healing will come into their lives. Or as I was told once, "the person must confess their sins in order for healing to come into their lives." How silly!!!

We may become ill and not recover or we may become ill and receive healing.

Having said the above, no matter if we are sick or not, God is with us. Our lives on this earth are special, wonderful blessings, but we must remember - we are just passing through. Our eternal home awaits us in heaven.
