The power of prayer and restoration

Yac 5:13–20

5:13 The power of prayer and restoration

13Is anyone among you going through hard times? If so, they should be praying. Is anyone feeling cheerful? If so, they should be singing praises. 14Is anyone among you sick? If so, that person should call the leaders of the assembly and get them to anoint them with oil and to pray for them[ref] in the name and authority of Yeshua our master. 15Then that declaration of faith will save the weak person and the master will lift him/her up, and if they’ve sinned, then their sins will also be forgiven. 16So confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that all of you can be healed, because when an obedient believer prays, it has a real effect. 17Eliyyah was a person just similar to us, and when he prayed for the rain to stop, it stopped, and it didn’t rain again for three and a half years.[ref] 18Then he prayed again, and the rain came down from the sky and the land sprouted and started to bear fruit again.[ref]

19My fellow believers, if any of you have wandered from the truth and someone helps them back, 20then you should know that someone who helps a sinner to come back from their deceitful ways will be saving their soul from death,[ref] and their many sins can be forgiven.

18:1 Eliyyah versus Baal’s prophets

18In the third year of drought, Yahweh told Eliyyah to go and show himself to King Ahav and tell him that it would soon rain,

1Ki 18:42-45:

42So Ahav got ready and had something to eat and drink, but Eliyyah went further up Mt. Karmel and squatted with his face down between his knees[ref] 43and told his servant, “Go up now, and look towards the ocean.”

He went up and looked and said, “There’s nothing there.”

This happened seven times, 44but on the seventh time he came back and said, “Wow, there’s a small cloud out above the ocean about the size of a man’s palm.”

Then Eliyyah ordered him, “Rush and tell Ahab to get his chariot ready and head down so he won’t be caught in the rain.”

45Very soon the sky was full of dark clouds, then wind and heavy rain. Ahav kept riding and made it to the city of Yezreel.
