Prayer for someone who is sick - evangelical messages of God's word

14 But among you there is someone who is sick? Let him call for the elders of the church to pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord.
15 The prayer offered in faith will heal the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.
16 Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other to be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.
17 Elijah was a man just like us. He prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the land for three and a half years.
18 Again he prayed, and the heavens gave rain, and the earth produced its fruit. - James 5: 14-18


5 When Jesus had entered Capernaum, spoke to him a centurion, asking him for help.
6 And he said, "Lord, my servant lies at home paralyzed and in terrible suffering."
7 Jesus said to him, "I will come and heal him."
8 The centurion replied, "Lord, do not deserve to have you come under my roof. But just say the word and my servant will be healed.
9 For I also am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I say to one, 'Go, and he goeth: and to another, Come, and he cometh. I say to my servant, Do this, and he does. "
10 When Jesus heard this, he marveled and said to those following him, "I tell you the truth: I have not found anyone in Israel with such great faith.
11 I tell you that many will come from east and west and sit at table with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven.
12 But the subjects of the kingdom will be thrown outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. "
13 Then Jesus said to the centurion, "Go! Because you believed, it will be done!" In the same hour his servant was healed. - Matthew 8: 5-13

As we all know, the centurion's servant was healed.

The servant was healed from what?

We do not know for sure what the man had. We only know that he was paralyzed and that sickness did suffer greatly. Realize that the suffering servant was intense. As we can see he was very ill and, because of this impossibility, he could not seek the Lord Jesus Christ.

Upon seeing the man that terrible suffering, the centurion took pity that situation and spared no effort to seek help for his employee.
The centurion was intercede with the Lord Jesus Christ for the health of his servant.

Just because the centurion be willing to intercede for his employee, it had been worth it because the Lord Jesus Christ, to hear the request of the military told him:

 "I will heal you" - Matthew 8: 7

But the centurion, not wanting to bother the Master said something that made the heart of the Lord Jesus Christ stayed amazed, completely filled with joy and awe. The military said:

But just say the word and my servant will be healed. - Matthew 8: 8

Here is the key to intercessory prayer: faith.

Jesus said:

I have not found anyone in Israel with such great faith. - Matthew 8: 10


Let's make a small note about the centurion's faith:

The centurion was saying to the Lord Jesus Christ that he fully believed in the strength and power of Him to heal his servant, but it was not necessary that the Lord Jesus were to move to where the man because he is so strong and powerful enough He said only one word that everything happen. Only one word would be enough to change the whole situation.

And indeed that's what happened. You said the word:

"Go! As you have believed, so will! "- Matthew 8: 13

In the same hour his servant was healed. - Matthew 8: 13
