Just Do It, Part 18 | Pray Right.

Sermon: "Pray Right."Scripture: James 5:13-18Speaker: Pastor Tim ChicolaDate: February 7, 2021• To offer effective prayers for the sick, you must follow the right procedures.• Procedure #1: You have to have the right kind of prayer.• It is untrue that God heals, or doesn’t heal, according to the strength, or lack thereof, of our faith. • What is the right kind of prayer? It is a prayer of faith. • Procedure #2: You have the right kind of partnership.• God’s grace is not only displayed in miraculous healings. It is displayed in the knowledge he has given to us.• We must stop simply going to church and learn to become the church among our communities.• Procedure #3: You have the right kind of position.• In times of illness, we often go deeper; we draw closer to God. • Sometimes our physical infirmities reveal sin that not only has a part in bringing about the illness, but has been keeping us from the heart of God.• Sometimes when a spiritual healing takes place, a physical healing takes place. And sometimes physical sickness is the trigger that brings about the spiritual healing we need.• To offer effective prayers for the sick, you must be the right kind of person.• What kind of over-the-top gracious God would take notice of me? One who is literally more attracted to me because of the greatness of my sin, not less attracted.• “Prayer before it is a petition, is a stance of the heart.” - Tim Keller• People who have entered into a true relationship with God, have a relationship that is continually progressing, not perfectly, but progressively. • God’s healing often comes when the right people pray in the right way. Connect with The Crossing Church:WEBSITEFACEBOOKINSTAGRAMYOUTUBE
