Pray for Each Other

Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective. — James 5:16 

God asks us to pray for each other.

He tells us that the prayer of a righteous person is powerful.

And it is very effective, thanks to our loving and merciful God.

But often, unconfessed sin stands in our way of  praying to God.

We come to Him asking for something but forget to thank Him.

Or we forget that we have not admitted our sin.

And sometimes He gives us our heart's desire in spite of ourselves.

We were praying for Rita's cousin Marvin as he was in the hospital.

They were ready to wheel him in for surgery when the doctors discovered that the procedure they thought he needed was no longer necessary!

They unhooked him from his IVs and sent him home.

God answered the prayers of people around the country, and Marvin didn't need his procedure after all.

Praise the Lord!

He Will Baptize You with the Holy Spirit

The people were waiting expectantly and were all wondering in their hearts if John might possibly be the Messiah. John answered them all, “I baptize you with water. But one who is more powerful than I will come, the straps of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. — Luke 3:15-17

The people were wondering if John might be the Messiah, but he was not.

John was sent to prepare the way for Jesus.

He came to baptize us with the Holy Spirit and with fire.

Sunday we celebrate our baptism and renew our commitment to Jesus.

Our worship service will focus on God's faithfulness to us.

We will thank Him for the blessings He gives us.

We know God is holding them in His hands and healing them.

And so do I.

God is great, powerful, and majestic.

He is worthy of our praise.
