James 5:15King James Version (KJV)
15 And the prayer (entreaty, seeking) of faith (believing, establishing) shall save the sick (weak, frail), and the Lord (YHWH – a name that defines the Father, Elohim’s Word and Works) shall raise him up; and if he have (past tense) committed sins (an offense or trespass against the Word and Works of the Father), they shall be forgiven him.”
The above Hebrew definitions bring a new perspective to the above verse, such that without it the words prayer, faith, and sickness mean something different than what was intended; an example of seeking YHshua (Jesus) and not later definitions. Paul himself warned the early congregations to turn away from the doctrines (religion) of men and look to the truth (also means faith) – that of the teachings of the true prophets and of course YHshua (YH’s salvation). We should remember, with the exception of some of Paul’s disciples, all men and women in our faith were Hebrews, not Greeks. Making our daily search about seeking YH’s truth and not man’s adds nothing less than deep and gratifying substance to our walks in Him. Paraphrasing YHshua (YH’s salvation), “May YOUR (Elohim’s) WILL (Word and Works) BE DONE ON EARTH (in us) as it is in HEAVEN.” Amein, Amein, Amein, Amein: Please find, below, the links to Strong’s Lexicon (English to Hebrew). May YH be blessed in all our walks :)
