Asking for prayer for my son and his wife. And for my self seeking healing in our bodies, pray salvation for them both.Be blessed in Jesus name.

I just sent this message to someone else, and saw your prayer request, and hope you'll prayfully consider this matter:

I was ill for almost 3 years, close to being bedridden, but in just one moment of time, the Lord Jesus Christ had mercy on me, and God healed me. Just like it says to do in James 5, I called for the elders of the church to pray over me, and the elder and I spent maybe 50mins confessing our faults one to another, and after we prayed for God's forgiveness and mercy, he laid hands on me, anointed me with oil in the name of the Lord (poured olive oil on my head), and prayed for the Lord's healing, and that moment I was healed.

We didn't know what we were doing, but we just tried to follow the scripture as closely as possible, and the Lord healed me! I wasn't healed because of our own goodness, but because of the Lord's goodness and mercy that He showed on me and others who were suffering grief for me (like my mom).

I encourage you to pray for faith, and follow what the Lord instructs in James 5:

James 5

14Is 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:

15And 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.

16Confess 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.
