(James 5:16 NKJV)\u00a0 Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.<\/p>\n
This weekend I visited a medium security prison to visit a brother. We talked, shared and laughed.<\/p>\n
It was time for me to leave and we hugged goodbye. As the prisoner walked away, I watched as my heart sank. I was free to walk out and to leave that place, while he waited in line to enter back in to his cell. He was a prisoner.<\/p>\n
It made me realize that without Christ we are prisoners; prisoners to sin. There is no freedom without Christ. There is a jail cell with our name on it if we don’t choose Him.<\/p>\n
My heart goes out to those people today; those that don’t know Christ as their Lord and Savior, for they are prisoners.<\/p>\n
How can we reach them? How can they be set free and healed?<\/p>\n
We can start by praying. Pray for those we know who need Jesus and His Salvation.<\/p>\n
Prayer avails MUCH!!<\/p>\n
Amen.<\/p>\n
