Created by the talented [Link To User poulynoe]")    Prompt: James 5:13-16 13 Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let him sing psalms. 14 Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: 15 And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him. 16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.  I feel the Lord prompting me to focus on healing for a bit. Over the next few days this is what I intend to base the prompts on. What are your thoughts about healing? There are some doctrines that teach healing is a “sign” gift. It was used by the Holy Spirit to validate the disciples and apostles. They believe in praying for health and healing, but don't believe in praying for instant healing. Others believe in holding healing services and healing ministries. I have heard several different views on the subject. Let's discuss it and see what the Bible has to say about it. Also, what are your thoughts on this passage?I believe it can go both ways and there are scriptures to support that. Paul, for instance, prayed to be healed of his "thorn in the flesh" and God told him no. God's grace will get us through most situations. Then there are some where God instantly heals. It can go either way and is totally up to God. "Prompt: I was cruising the galaxy with Captain Kirk and found this planet: (264) Read this item:
Write about this poem in your Blog entry today." This poem makes me sad. It reminds me of my lost relationship with my family of origin. My parents are both deceased and the rest of my family ignores me. I live about three hours away so I guess I don't blame them. I also was a drug addict for years and I think they think I still am since they are never around me. I am a responsible, productive part of society today. In fact, I am starting a halfway house for veterans. My business associate says we are ready to start seeking grants.
