PRAYER THAT PRODUCES RESULTS
TEXT: James 5:16; I John 5:14:15
INTRODUCTION: You don’t have to be a spiritual giant for God to answer your prayers. However, God does expect us to enter His presence with a keen sense of our need for His involvement in our life.
James’ letter deals with everyday life: Things like our speech, business ventures, relationships between employer and employees, respect of persons, and disagreements between Christian brothers.
Prayer is not a set of magical words, nor is just saying the name of Jesus the key to getting results.
• Genuine prayer is simply talking to the Lord about different things.
• Getting results is part of having confidence in the relationship you have with God.
• In other words, the Bible is not a book of words that you can say and expect things to happen if you’re not connected to the source.
