Rise Up!

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. If they have sinned, they will be forgiven. James 5:14-15, NIV

I went down to visit my parents for a bit just to get out of the office. While I was chatting with them my mom shared with me that her and my father had gone over to a couples’ home on Easter to drop off food and pray for them. They knew that the lady had not been able to walk since January 1, 2024. She was believing God for this surgery that would get her back on her feet, but she was told that after further examinations it would be too risky for her life to do this surgery. The lady was really down.

The family had no idea that my parents were coming with Easter dinner and they were so excited when they saw dinner was prepared. While they were there my mother took anointed oil and put on this lady’s legs. She laid her hands on the lady while my father touched my mother and her husband and they prayed. It was an awesome visit.

On Tuesday, the lady called my mom and said that she got up and walked! She walked to the rest room and to the laundry room by herself! She also said there had been some kind of tumor that had been on her leg since she was a teenager and after the prayer it was gone!

Every born again believer in Jesus Christ has this power! The world is hurting and hungry for healing and we have the answer, RISE UP! God has given you everything you need! Walk by the faith that he has given you! Listen, you are not the one doing the healing, that is God’s job. Scripture said all the believer needs to do is pray in faith and the Lord raises up the sick! God does the work!

How can we believe that God raised Jesus from the dead and His power now lives in us and not believe that he will answer your prayer? Scripture says, “God has surely listened and has heard my prayer.” Psalm 66:19 If you are lacking in faith, just ask the Holy Spirit for help, He is right there with you and he is your helper!

The one thing I did not tell you is that my parents are in their eighties. Yet, they are moving just like Moses did letting God use them for all that he called them to do!
