Prayer That Works

Prayer That Works, James 5:16

There are certain elements we are expected to gave throughout our Christian lives. We are said to be a peculiar people,  those who live differently - love our enemies, pray for our foes. As believers,  we ought to possess things in our treasure chest to get us through. 
1) prayer - believe God is able to do what you are praying for. Avoid being double minded man and remain stable. Those bipolar prayers aren't effective because they don't make it to Him. You may be able to fool the pastor, deacon,  members,  but not God.

2) confess - tell it one to another of wrongdoing. Be honest with yourself and others when it comes to sin; it is all filthy.  We aren't holier than someone else. Everyone has messes in their lives! When you come, clear the air with yourself; God already knows we have a way to make ourselves look better than we actually are. Example: asking for prayer to beat addiction. When you learn how to pray, you are becoming more like Jesus.
