Bible Question:
James 5:14 Is anyone among you sick? He should call in the church elders (the spiritual guides). And they should pray over him, anointing him with oil in the Lord's name. James 5:15 And the prayer [that is] of faith will save him who is sick, and the Lord will restore him; and if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven. Is James talking about pysical or spiritual sickness in these verses? Or both? If you follow this proceedure, will you be pysically healed if it is God's will? |
Bible Answer: Is James talking about pysical or spiritual sickness in these verses? Or both? Both, but the emphasis in this case is physical healing. If you follow this proceedure, will you be pysically healed if it is God's will? Yes, but the key words here are 'God's will'. God often has a reason for us to walk through infirmities and afflictions. Many don’t want to trust God and feel every sickness, every affliction is not in their best interests but God has promised to make all things work to the good of those that love Him and are called to His purpose. Rom 8:28 EdB |
