James 5:13~18
God sincerely hopes human beings to resolve their suffering; and to live happily with freedom and fullness of life.
To resolve the many impossibilities and sufferings of worldly people, God sent Jesus Christ to the world as our Savior.
Jesus Christ went to see people, who had problems that cannot be solved by any other ways in the world, and resolved them.
Sin is the cause of humans being miserable. In the sinless Garden of Eden, people lived with utmost happiness in body and soul. At the moment man committed sin, his body became subject to horrible suffering and his soul went to unquenchable hell due to the wages of sin.
Hell is a place of eternal suffering which cannot be expressed in human language (Revelation 20:10). People live committing sin their whole life, but they don’t even know. Although they sin, they behave indecently to hide it. Moreover, they don’t know the fact that those sins lead their souls to hell. It is because the devil, Satan and demons, who always lie, work and try to kill people.
God gave the Word of God, righteous God himself, to human beings. And He let us to know the fact that different thoughts and acts other than the Word of God is all sin, The wages of sin is death and the result of death is eternal punishment in hell.
Also He built the church to reveal the function of Jesus Christ not to make human race to be destroyed by ignorance. He saved us by making us to repent of sins.
When we repent of sin before the blood of Jesus Christ who was nailed on the cross, He will nullify our sins, drive all the miseries out and resolve it by the name of Jesus and make us enjoy freedom (Mark 16:17~18).
Also, when we ask whatever we need through prayer, He has promised to resolve our problems at the moment He receives our prayers.
Prayer is inheritance given by the Lord. Prayer is relationship between Him and us, the absolute will of God, which let us know the mind of Jesus Christ, the love of Jesus. Prayer is not demand of humans, but demand of grace from Jesus Christ who pushes us to do because He loves us.
A man knowing his problem and suffering never take a rest from prayer. If a man with many sufferings doesn’t pray, he is filled with disbelief of promise of Jesus Christ who has said to do whatever we ask in the name of Jesus.
When you pray, the One will answer has promised to you to give whatever you ask. The answer of prayer is miracle, salvation and freedom (James 5:15~16).
Do you have sin, curse, disease or mental suffering? Then, pray. The answer will come and be received equally by everyone (James 5:17~18).
As long as the devil, Satan and demons exist on the earth, they will make you sin, make you sick and bring many sufferings and curses.
Only Jesus Christ has the absolute power to overcome those enemies and make you free (Acts 4:12).
Dear brothers and sister, please resolve your sufferings by prayer. This is strong demand of the Lord who will answer the prayer.
Let’s pray. Do not take a rest from praying. The Holy Spirit is helping us to pray. Let us be freed from sufferings by prayer.
