If love is surrender... then who's war is it anyways?

"The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective" James 5:16

that is one piece of truth we can cling to... and i do...

but i wonder how often we really feel like we are "righteous men"... if we felt that way all the time i think our prayer lives would be radically different... i know mine would be.

but check this out...

Romans 3:22
"...this righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe."

Romans 4:23-25

"23The words "it was credited to him" were written not for him alone, 24but also for us, to whom God will credit righteousness—for us who believe in him who raised Jesus our Lord from the dead. 25He was delivered over to death for our sins and was raised to life for our justification."

we ARE righteous men... thanks be to Him...

we are righetous through Christ...

and the prayer of a righteous man are powerful and effective.

our prayers are powerful

our prayers are effective.

this should have an effect...

keep on praying brothers, God hears us... and he cares... and its effective.
