Saturday, August 8. GOD is still speaking. (Daily Devotional and Prayers from MASTER SPEAK THY SERVANT HEARS by AL ADELUWOYE) “Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.” (James 5:16 NKJV) My child, confession isn’t about being judged; it’s about finding healing. I use others to bring you comfort and help you recover. When you share your struggles openly, it breaks the hold of secrecy, guilt, and shame. Praying with others is powerful, but you can also pray for them on your own. Prayer strengthens relationships, invites My presence, and brings healing—not just for your body, but for your heart and soul too. When you stay close to Me, your prayers have a stronger impact. Being righteous doesn’t mean being perfect; it means following My will and depending on My strength. When you pray with faith, and your prayers align with My plans, they become powerful. Peace be with you. See: (John 17:21 and 1 John 2:5) Pray for your heart’s desire to your Heavenly Father, through Jesus Christ, and include the following prayer points: · Pray for the courage to confess your shortcomings to others with Christ-like humility and anointing. · Ask God to break the power of guilt, shame, and secrecy in your life as you bring things into the light. · Pray for meaningful opportunities to pray with others, knowing that shared prayer invites God's presence and strengthens relationships. · Ask God to help you faithfully pray for others in your personal prayer time, lifting them up with compassion and faith. · Pray for the strength to follow God's will, relying on His grace rather than striving for perfection. · Ask God to align your prayers with His purposes and empower them to bring about change.
