Prayer is not just words spoken into the air — it’s the faithful reaching out to the Creator who holds all power. God hears. God responds. And when His people pray with trusting hearts, incredible things can happen. Healing, restoration, forgiveness — all flow from His hand. Whether it’s a hurting soul, a broken body, or even a troubled world, God alone provides the healing we truly need.

    Transcript

    David Hill: The power of prayer and healing. James writes about that in James 5:13-19. All healing comes from God. James writes about that and tells us that the power of prayer can activate that power of God in healing those who are sick.

    James 5:15 says, “Confess your faults one to another, and pray for one another, that you might be healed. The effectual, fervent prayer of the righteous avails much.” Notice—the righteous prayer. That is, one who has obeyed the gospel of Christ, put Christ on in baptism, and is living faithfully before Him. I John 1:7—walking in the light. That one has the power to call on God for healing, has the power to call on God for the forgiveness of sins, and the healing of the spiritual man.

    Remarkable, isn’t it?

    God can heal the weak and the vexed. The psalmist says that in Psalm 6:2. God heals the brokenhearted (Psalm 147:3). God even—listen to this, folks—God even has the power to heal the breaches and the breaks of earth (Psalm 60:2).

    There are a lot of folks today that talk about healing the planet, and man can’t do that. God can. God can do it, and God will do it. Notice—by and through the prayer of the Christian, the power of God can be called upon, even to the saving of the planet. That’s what the Bible says. That’s the gospel. I’m David Hill.
