Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much (James 5:16).

The testimonies of the Scripture are very loud and clear that, when God’s people truly pray, whether individually or collectively, something extra-ordinary happens.

[ad]
Isaac prayed and his barren wife produced a set of twins (Genesis 25:21).

The children of Israel cried to God and He sent them a deliverer, who took them out of Egypt (Exodus 3:7). Samuel prayed and the armies of the Philistines were destroyed (1 Samuel 7:9-12). David prayed and God did great wonders (2 Samuel 22:4-8).

Hezekiah prayed and God changed the date of his death (Isaiah 38:1-9).

If, indeed, you are a child of God, you are righteous in Christ and your prayer is very powerful in its working. Please, use your weapon and be more than a conqueror through Christ.

The earnest (heartfelt, continued) prayer of a righteous man makes tremendous power available [dynamic in its working] (James 5:16b, AMP).
