Healing and prayer

Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.
James 5:16

The Blessing Heights church of Arkansas City will be having a healing and prayer service at Wilson Park today at 6:30 p.m. They held one about a month ago and it went well.
This is always a controversial issue - prayer or healing.
Prayer is powerful though. But it is not magic. It is not a way of "making" God do what you want. We don't always see the whole picture so we think God isn't listening when we don't get what we ask for.
Also sometimes in certain religious circles people are led to believe it is their fault if they are not healed. Because they dont have enough faith.
I think it is good that a church is doing something like this publicly. One thing Arkansas City needs - maybe the biggest thing - is a spiritual healing.
It is a positive witness to the community.
Im going to go. See you all there?
