'Is anyone among you sick?' James 5:14 NIV
The Bible says, 'Is anyone among you sick? Let them call the elders of the church to pray over them and anoint them with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise them up' (James 5:14-15 NIV). So, let's be in no doubt; when we're sick, we are told to call for the church elders to anoint us with oil and pray over us, believing that we will be healed. In times of sickness, we're also told to pray for one another. Jesus said, 'And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name ... they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover' (Mark 16:17-18 NKJV).
If you are sick today, pray: 'Lord, even though the doctor's report is negative, You have the last word concerning my life. Your Word says, "You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in your book" (Psalm 139:16 NLT). Help me to action any lifestyle changes that will make a difference to my quality of life. Raise me up as testimony to your healing power. You are the changeless miracle-working God yesterday, today, and forever (see Hebrews 13:8). I take authority over every defective part of my body and command each one to be made whole in the name of Jesus. I decree that I will not die before my appointed time but will live to report what You have done (see Psalm 118:17). By faith, I stand on Your Word and declare, '"By Your stripes I am healed"' (see Isaiah 53:5).
