(James 5:16 NKJV) 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.
This weekend I visited a medium security prison to visit a brother. We talked, shared and laughed.
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.
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.
My heart goes out to those people today; those that don’t know Christ as their Lord and Savior, for they are prisoners.
How can we reach them? How can they be set free and healed?
We can start by praying. Pray for those we know who need Jesus and His Salvation.
Prayer avails MUCH!!
Amen.
