Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.
James 5:16 NIV
Great Power
Canada’s electricity grid can be described as “fragmented”. Canada has a few connections that link jurisdictions together and most jurisdictions mainly supply electricity to meet their own demand. Where large connections do exist, they primarily connect provinces to the United States and electricity flows north-south. Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, and British Columbia are notable net exporters of electricity to the U.S. Provinces trade electricity with the U.S., or neighbouring provinces, when they can sell electricity at higher prices in those markets or buy it at lower prices.

When we buy something, the implication is that it will work as promised and provide whatever it is that we need it for. If it is something of value, we carefully check our reviews of the product to see what others who have bought it, feel about it. The Bible tells us that the most powerful and effective “tool” available to followers of Jesus is prayer, particularly when we are praying for others. James 5:16 says, “Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.” When your heart is right before the Lord, and the righteousness of Jesus is yours, through confession and faith in Him, your prayers for others have great impact. We have the great privilege of lifting others to the Lord. Knowing their needs, we bring them to the Lord and have the assurance that, not only does He hear them, but He will respond. Never take prayer for granted. Pray for others, pray believing God for a touch on their lives. You will be amazed at how powerful those prayers are.
These have been words from the heart.
