Once again God shows up and shows out in my life….so I was
sitting here thinking about writing a series of posts on prayer. In the midst
of my praying about it, among praying about other things, I stop to read a
devotional.
Here’s what it quoted: 1 John 4:1-2 Dear friends, do not believe every
spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because
many false prophets have gone out into the world.2 This is how you can
recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ
has come in the flesh is from God,
The commentary goes on to state that the Holy Spirit is not
the only spirit at work in this world and that we should pray to be able to
recognize the Holy Spirit.
James 5:15 – 16 …15
and the prayer offered in faith will restore the one who is sick, and the Lord
will raise him up, and if he has committed sins, they will be forgiven him. 16
Therefore, confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another so that
you may be healed. The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much.
