Restoration is Yours

 Restoration is Yours

 

Have you ever found yourself completely alone.  There was no one to turn to, no one to rely on, no one to help you through situations.  Have you walked away from the Lord?  Are you lost and you don't know how to get back to the Lord.  Are you afraid you have gone to far and the Lord won't forgive you.  I tell you this no matter what you have done the Lord waits to bring you back into His arms.  He wants to restore you.

 

I can tell you first hand there have been times in my life that I have lost my way with the Lord.  But finally when I remembered who God is to me, how much He truly loves me and that He will forgive me of all my sins I called out His name and He forgave me.  But He did so much more than that, He restored me.

 

I would like to talk to you today about Restoration and that if you come to the Lord and ask Him to forgive you with all your heart He will restore you completely.

 

 

Deuteronomy 30 is a great example of how God restored His people

 

Deuteronomy 30:1-10

 

When all these blessings and curse I have set before you come on you and you take them to heart wherever the Lord your God disperses you among the nations and when you and your children return to the Lord your God and obey him with all your heart and with all your soul according to everything I command you today, then the Lord your God will restore your fortunes and have compassion on you and gather you again from all the nations where he scattered you.  Even if you have been banished to the most distant land under the heavens, from there the Lord your God will gather you and bring you back.  He will bring you to the land that belonged to your ancestors, and you will take possession of it.  He will make you more prosperous and numerous than your ancestors.  The Lord your God will circumcise your hearts and the hearts of your descendants, so that you may love him with all your soul and live.  The Lord your God will put all these curses on your enemies who hate and persecute you.  You will again obey the Lord and follow all his commands I am giving you today.  Then the Lord your God will make you most prosperous in all the work of your hands and in the fruit of your womb, the young of your livestock and the crops of your land.  The Lord will again delight in you and make you prosperous, just as He delighted in your ancestors, if you obey the Lord your God and keep his commands and decrees that are written in the Book of the Law and turn to the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul.

 

 



Have you had times in your life where you are feeling overwhelmed?  That life happenings are just flooding you and your life.

 

Let me encourage you, don't give up and don't quit.  Its time to pick yourself up, rebuke satan and declare that there is something great about to happen in your life.  You have to ask yourself, am I willing to wait for it?  No matter who devastating or how overwhelmed things might look right now.  God can turn things around and cause God can turn things around and cause the blessings to equally overwhelm you.  The blessings can wipe out everything, they truly can. The blessings of the Lord have no respecter of persons.

 

Deuteronomy 28:2

All these blessings will come on you and accompany you if you obey the Lord your God.

 

There are times that we think we have missed opportunities or blown chances.  We can look back and think, why did I do those things I did.  We have made some bad decisions and choices in our life which made us miss out on opportunities.  But the good news is that God always has another season in store for you.

 

Joel 2:25-27

I will repay (compensate) you for the years the locusts have eaten, the great locust and the young locust, the other locusts and the locust swarm, my great army that I sent among you.  You will have plenty to eat and be satisfied and praise the name of the Lord your God who has dealt wondrously with you; and my people shall never be put to shame.  And you shall know (without any doubt) that I am in the midst of Israel (to protect and bless you), and that I am the Lord your God, and there is no other; my people will never be put to shame.

 

 

You probably have gone through things in your life that have you wonder, why am I here?  Job ask the Lord the same question.  Job started praying for his enemies and God turned his whole life around.   He will do the same for you!  I am sure that God can make the rest of your life so rewarding and so fulfilling that it makes up for the lost opportunities in your past. 

 

There are times of restoration. Lets look deeper into Joel 2:25-27 

 

"I will restore to you the years"  It talks about years.  God is saying He wants to restore years that have been stolen from you. Start believing God for everything that satan has stolen from you sevenfold!!!

 

"You shall eat in plenty" This is your condition immediately after your restoration.  See how your lifestyle will change immediately after God restores everything that life choices have stolen and what the devil has stolen for years.  "You shall eat plenty"  Plenty is that nature of God.  This has been the plan for you and me since the beginning.  It never was the plan of God that we live in the land of not enough but God always intended for us to live in the land of more than enough.

 

God will make up for your lost time.  Every opportunity you've missed, every chance you've, blown, all those years you may have wasted.

 

Your latter days will be better than your former days;   So choose to receive it by faith.

 

God Bless You

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Live by Faith

Live by Faith

 

Hebrews 11:1-3

Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.  This is what the ancients were commended for.  By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God's command so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible.



 

Hebrews 10:38
Now the just shall live by faith; but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.

Hebrews 10:38
But without faith it is impossible to please him; for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

If we are to please God, have a good life and have a relationship with the Lord we must live by faith.  The Christian life is a life of faith, hope and putting your trust in God.  This faith is much more than mere belief but rather a confident action.

Faith knows only one direction, forward.  If you backslide or wander from truth and joy, it is a lack of faith.  Faith is key to having joy and peace. 

Romans 10:17
Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message and the message is heard through the Word of God.

If faith comes by hearing and hearing by preaching the Word of God, then preaching about faith should work.   We must read the Word so we can grow in faith.  We also need to be taught the Word by going to church and listening to our pastor.  Your pastor has his own faith which will come through his preaching.  Each person has their own level of faith and different life happenings that have grown their faith.  Your faith is particularly based on you and your own life, beliefs and trust in God.

Faith is not something we need to learn: it is something we need to exercise, by taking a leap of faith and trust in God.  Life is a roller coaster ride,  we all have ups and downs in life.  Afflictions and trial will come.  Are you ready for them?  Strong faith will not faint in adversity.  Strong faith keeps God's commandments, believes every Word of God, and trusts His promises.   Faith is a strong confidence in the promises of God.

Faith believes God so strongly that things hoped for become real and the invisible becomes seen.  Faith trusts God completely.  True faith is much more than bare belief, for its results in action

Galatians 5:6
For I Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value.  The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love.

God has called us to a life of active obedience by faith, not bare belief.  Faith believes every Word of God without question or compromise.

 

Isaiah 8:20

Consult God's instruction and the testimony of warning.  If anyone does not speak according to this Word, they have no light of dawn.

 

Faith believes the Bible of what He has done, what we should do and what He will do.  Faith pleases God, and you cannot please God without faith; consider Enoch and faith.

 

Hebrews 11:5-6

By faith Enoch was taken from this life, so that he did not experience death;  He could not be found, because God had taken him away.  For before he was taken, he was commended as one who pleased God.  And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek Him.

 

Love is greater than faith, for the Word of God declares it.  But faith is the foundation.

 

1 Corinthians 13:13

And now these three remain: faith, hope and love.  But the greatest of these is love.

 

We live and walk by faith, not by sight. Therefore, we act different than any others.

2 Corinthians 5:7
For we live by faith, not by sight.


Faith has four points
1.  Obey the Word of God and keep its commandments
2.  Pray to the Lord with all your heart.
3.  Deepening your trust in God
4.  Have outright visible faith

 

 



You are Chosen

You are Chosen

Good day to you all, hope you are blessed and walking with the Lord daily.

I have been speaking on you are loved and you are valued.  We discussed how much you are loved by the Lord, and that you are the apple of His eye.  We also spoke on how you are valued by the Lord.  How you are worthy and valuable to the Lord God almighty. 

Today I would like to discuss the word Chosen. You have been chosen by the Lord. Do you know that? He chose you. You, you were chosen and created by the Alpha and Omega.  He had you in mind when He created the earth.  He had you in mind when He was on the cross. 1 Peter 2:9 sums it all up.

1 Peter 2:9
But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, so that you may proclaim the excellences of Him who has called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.

Definition of the word Chosen:

• chosen out, select, the elect.

• one who is the object of choice or of divine favor :  an elect person

Yes you have been chosen by God. John 15:16 confirms it.  God chose you, you did not choose him.  What an awesome thought, God cares enough about you and me to choose to have a relationship with us.

John 15:16
You did not choose Me but I chose you, and appointed you that you would go and bear fruit, and that your fruit, and that your fruit would remain, so that whatever you ask of the Father in My name He may give to you.

Why did God set His favor on Israel above all the peoples of the earth?  What was the basis of God calling them, “my chosen” in Deuteronomy 7:6-8 we have the explanation.

Deuteronomy 7:6-8
For you are a holy people to the LORD your God; the LORD your God has chosen you to be a people for His own possession out of all the peoples who are on the face of the earth.  The LORD did not set His love on you nor choose you because you were more in number than any of the peoples, for you were the fewest of all peoples, but because the LORD loved you and kept the oath which He swore to your forefathers, the LORD brought you out by a mighty hand and redeemed you from the house of slavery, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.

How exciting the Lord set his love on you and chose you because the Lord loves you.  He loves you because He loves you!  That’s the deepest and ultimate, basis of God’s choosing you.

Below are more scriptures telling you exactly why God chose you and how He loves you.

Ephesians 1:4-5
Just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and blameless before Him.  In love He predestined us to adoption as sons through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the kind intention of His will.

Romans 8:28-29
And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.  For those whom He foreknew, he also predestined to become conformed to the image of His son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brethren.

Remember God chose you and created you for His own pleasure and purpose.  When you look at yourself and think about your life, remember the creator loves you, adores you and chose you for His own purpose.

You are LOVED, you are VALUABLE, and you are CHOSEN by the Lord God Almighty.  Why? Because He picked you for His own.

God bless you

You are Valued

You are Valued

Hello my friends hope this post finds you blessed and highly favored.  Hope you are spending time with the Lord on your faith walk with Him. 

Today I would like to have a discussion about value, your value.  Do you think you are valued?  How much do you think you're worth?  I'm not talking about your net worth; I'm talking about your self-worth.  If you take a moment and look deep inside yourself do you think you have value? Do you have value as a person?  Do you think you are valuable to someone else?

Let’s look into the definition of the word value so you can have an understanding of the word value.

Definition of Value:

·       Highly regarded or esteemed

·       A valued friend

·       Having value of a specified kind

·       Relative worth, merit, or importance

·       force; significance

·       Liking or affection; favorable regard

·       To consider with respect to worth, excellence, usefulness, or importance

·       To regard or esteem highly

·       Value, worth imply intrinsic excellence or desirability

·       Worth implies especially spiritual qualities of mind and character, or moral excellence

·       Value is that quality of anything which renders it desirable or useful

1 Corinthians 7:23

You have been bought and paid for by Christ, so you belong to him, be free now from all these earthly prides and fears.

 

Matthew 6: 25-27

Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?

 

1 Samuel 26:24    

Now behold, as your life was highly valued in my sight this day, so may my life be highly valued in the sight of the Lord, and may He deliver me from all distress.”

The Lord God says not only are you accepted; you're valuable.  So the Lord, your creator thinks you are valuable and worth something.  What is that something?  For God sent His only Son to die on a cross that we may be saved. 

The Bible says, “You have been bought and paid for by Christ, so you belong to him—be free now from all these earthly prides and fears.” (1 Corinthians 7:23 TLB)

You have been bought and paid for by Christ. You belong to Jesus. How much does that make you worth? 

Now ask yourself, ‘Who do I belong to?’ The Bible says you belong to God. God exchanged His own Son for you!  The Cross proves your value. Jesus didn't die for junk. You are incredibly valuable. Nobody has ever paid a greater price than God paid for you. You are acceptable and you are valuable!

Here are some scriptures to prove that you are desirable, worth, valued and wanted by God.

Psalms 139:13-15

For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well. My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth.

 Jeremiah 29:11

For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.

 

Colossians 3:12-14

But on then, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience

God knows your value; He sees your potential. Hold your head up high, knowing that God is in control and he has a great plan and purpose for your life.  God stands before you with His arms open wide. He always accepts you. He always confirms your value.  You are His prized possession. No matter what you go through in life, no matter how many disappointments you suffer, your value in God’s eyes always remains the same. You will always be the apple of His eye. He will never give up on you, so don’t give up on yourself.

Remember you are loved and you are valued.  The Father see’s you as a beautiful jewel.  You are the apple of his eye

You are loved

You are loved

Do you know that you are truly loved by your creator the Lord God Almighty?  He created you for his own pleasure.  He longs for a relationship with those whom He created.  A relationship with God is like no other relationship you may have experienced. God has a unique kind of love for you. It is unconditional not based upon meeting certain conditions. God loves you because He loves you.  I have been talking about having a faith walk with the Lord.  This is where it comes from having a relationship with the Lord and walking faithfully with Him on the path He has carved out for you.

1 John 4:9-10

This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him.  This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.

He does not love you based upon your performance, what you do and what you don’t do. There is nothing you can do to cause God to love you any more than He already does, and there is nothing that will cause God to love you any less. He loves you, even more than you love yourself.

Until now you have probably only experienced conditional love. Conditional love is based upon what you do. Perform well on the job.  Having conditional love in your family or in the relationship,  Only God loves you with an unconditional love.  

In opening your life to Christ, you have found total love and acceptance. That may be hard to comprehend if you’ve never felt totally loved and acceptance by anyone. But it’s true! Unfortunately, you won’t always feel that God loves you. There will be times when you find yourself doubting not only His love, but also His existence. You’ll feel like giving up, but don’t.

Jeremiah 31:3

God says, I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with loving kindness

We will be walking many miles in life with the Lord.  Some miles may be difficult, hard, but you will also have miles where they are easy and full of joy.  The knowledge that God loves you will keep you going when the next mile seems intolerably long.  This is where your faith in Him will need to rise up and keep you going.

Romans 8:38-39

For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Our faith rests in what God has revealed about Himself to us. He specifically wants us to believe and rely on His love for us:

Psalms 147:11

The Lord delights in those who fear him, who put their hope in his unfailing love

Psalms 33:18

Lord watches over those who fear him, those who rely on his unfailing love.

King David, whom God referred to “as a man after my own heart”  trusted God’s love:

Psalms 59:16-17

I will sing of your strength, in the morning I will sing of your love; for you are my fortress, my refuge in times of trouble. O my strength, I sing praise to you; you, O God, are my fortress, my loving God.

To grow in your understanding of God’s love for you, take some time over the next few weeks and read Psalms 103, John 15, and 1 John 4, and note all the ways that God’s love is described.

May this find you walking faithfully with your Lord.

Faith Walking part 4

Faith Walking

 Why do we need to walk in faith, there is only one reason to go on the journey of faith walking. It is because God calls us. We may not now where our journey will take us, we don't know what this walk will contain. But I do know is that we all have a longing to walk faithfully in the Lord and to do the will of the Father and to do what we were created to do, even though we do not know our destination. Because we don't know our destination this is where our faith must come in to reassure us that God has a plan even though He may not always clue us in on it, we must completely trust him. The only thing we do know is that God calls us to make this journey, and therefore, we have to trust, submit, and have faith. We just have to walk even though we don't know where we're going. You have to start walking before you know where you're going.  Take a leap of faith and start the Journey the Lord

We previously had a discussion on taking each day as an opportunity to walk with the Lord.  We discussed how to have a life of Faith Walking with the Lord.  God is looking for someone to be a faith walking partner. God longs to walk with you, which is why his arms of grace have been pulling you into a closer walk with him.

Faith Walking is making a daily chose to spend time with the Lord.  There are three things you can do on a daily basis to spend time in the Lord.  We discussed spending time in prayer with the Lord, spending time in worship with the Lord and lastly we discussed spending time in the Word.

What you need to know is that our Father is so faithful to us and knows are needs before we even utter the words.  He longs and waits for us to come to him, and give Him our burdens. 

If you had a bad day, you can go into the throne room of God and ask for refreshing, or you can just come and be loved on by the one who loves you with all His being. Spending time with the Lord each day will grow your faith and will greatly build your relationship and strengthen it with the lord

Look at the journey you are on, and ask yourself are you allowing God to be your compass.  If not then have faith and trust He knows exactly where He wants you and needs you.

Take each day as a step in walking faithfully before the Lord.

God bless you and your faith walk with the Lord. 

Faith Walking part 3

Faith Walking

In our previous blog we discussed take each day as an opportunity to walk with the Lord.  We discussed how to have a life of Faith Walking with the Lord.  God is looking for someone to be a faith walking partner. God longs to walk with you, which is why his arms of grace have been pulling you into a closer walk with him.

Faith Walking is making a daily chose to spend time with the Lord.  There are three things you can do on a daily basis to spend time in the Lord.  We discussed in our last blogs how to spend time in prayer, taking time on your way to work to spend time in prayer.  We also discussed spending time with the Lord in Worship.  Spending time listening to Worship music and praising the Lord. Today we are going to discuss spending time in the Word of God.

We need to spend time in the Bible.  Reading the bible is where we learn who God is, and what He thinks about us.   We also learn what He sacrificed for us. We also have awesome character references with people in the Bible.  How they dealt with different situations and struggles in life, and also how God helped them through.  We also learn about peoples great faith in the Lord.

If you can spend time in the Word each day, I can tell you, you will truly be blessed.  I know we all have a lot going on in our lives but we must make time for the Lord.  If you can put just 30 minutes of your time reading the Word, your faith will grow.

I know that at times I am busy as well, but I have learned to spread my time around.  A lot of times while I am at work I will put my headphones in and listen to the audio bible on my phone.  I get to listen to the Word and there are always things that stand out so when I go home I read it in the Word and take some notes on what I got out of it. 

I also like to listen to teaching CD’s.  I also bring my CD player to work and listen to teaching CD’s.  I am getting educated by the teacher with the Word.  Now that we are starting to have nice weather I also like to take my dog for a walk and listen to a teaching.  My favorite site to go for teachings is [One Place] they have every teacher you can think of on there.  You can choose your teacher, the topic and the message you want to hear.  I love it.

Another thing I like to do is find a passage that interests me and do a bible study on it.  I really like digging into what the passage is saying and having a great understanding of what it means.  As you dig into the Word you will get educated, receive wisdom and understanding.  It also brings your relationship with the Lord to greater heights. 

The reason I am telling you this is I have a great desire for all to increase in your faith towards God.  The Word gives great character reference to who God is.  Once you know who He is, your faith will increase greatly.

Below are some scriptures that tells us how important it is to read the Word of God.
 

1 Timothy 4:13

Until I come, devote yourself to the public reading of scripture, to exhortation, to teaching.
 

 1 Timothy 4:15-16

Practice these things; immerse yourself in them, so that all may see your progress.  Keep a close watch on yourself and on the teaching.  Persist in this, for by so doing you will have both yourself and your hearers.
 

 2 Timothy 3:16-17

All scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.
 

 Psalms 119:89

Forever, O Lord, your word is settled in heaven.
 

Isaiah 55:11

So is my Word that goes out from my mouth it will not return to me empty but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.
 

 

Hebrews 4:12

For the Word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.
 

 John 15:7

If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish and it will be done for you

 
 

The scriptures above are to let you know that the Lord God almighty wants you to read His Word so that He can educate you, strengthen you and equip you for His work.

 Make time for Him you will truly be blessed.  Remember the one who loves you wants you to grow in Him.

How many of us listen to music on the way to work and back home.  How about when you are in your house cleaning or just enjoying some music.  I can tell you those are prime times to take time and spend it with the Lord.  I do like to take time on the way home from work and spend time in worship.  After a busy day at work I want to spend time in worship for three reasons.  If you had a bad day, you can go into the throne room of God and ask for refreshing, or you can just come and be loved on by the one who loves you with all His being. I also find that if I am feeling down praising the Lord brings joy into my life. 

What you need to know is that our Father is so faithful to us and knows are needs before we even utter the words.  He longs and waits for us to come to him, and give Him our burdens.  There are days that I go home and put some Christian music on an just take time and worship and love on the Lord. 

There are times when I am cleaning my house and I have some Christian music on that I will shout and praise the Lord. 

You can find those times in your day to give to the Lord.  You know your own schedule and where you may have free time; use that time to spend it with the Lord.  I know you will be truly blessed by it.

 

May God bless you this day.

Today I wanted to discuss how to have a life of Faith Walking with the Lord.  To take each day as an opportunity to walk with the Lord. God is looking for someone to be a faith walking partner. God longs to walk with you, which is why his arms of grace have been pulling you into a closer walk with him.

 

Faith Walking is making a daily chose to spend time with the Lord.  There are three things you can do on a daily basis to spend time in the Lord. Today I am going to talk about the first one.

 

Spend time praying to the Lord

When you are reading this you are probably thinking when am I going to have time to do this on a daily basis. I can tell you that there are little opportunities that you have to put some time aside for the Lord.  I know we all have really busy lives with husbands, children, family, work and church.  But I can guarantee that there are those little opportunities in your day that can be put aside for the Lord.

 

I am going to give you an example of how I use my time to spend time praying to the Lord..  This example is what I do on a daily basis to spend time with the Lord in prayer.

 

We all have to drive to work every day right?.   How about taking some time and praying to the Lord on your way to work.

 

Every day on my way to work I spend time praying to the Lord.  First thing I do is listen to a worship song and sing to the Lord.  Yes in my car I sing and praise the Lord. Then I start praying to the Lord.  I ask Him to first forgive me of any sin I may have done and to cleanse me from my sin.  I always like to go before the Lord with a clean heart.  The first thing I pray for always is my family.  I spend time on each member of my family, sometimes the Lord will give me a little clue on what I should pray for or sometimes I know what that family member is going through and ask the Lord to help them. I then pray for my pastor and my boss and what ever needs or concerns I have I bring them to Lord.  

It takes me about 40 minutes to get to work every day.  I use my time stuck in my car as an opportunity to spend time with the Lord.  If it only takes you 15 minutes to get to work, then that is 15 minutes you can spend with the Lord. 

 

Spending time with the Lord each day will grow your faith and will greatly build your relationship and strengthen it with the lord

 

 

May God bless you and keep you.  May He shine His great love on you.

 

Prayer of Faith

Prayer of Faith

Hope this finds you all truly blessed.

The subject I have been talking about has been on the different types of prayers.  We have discussed Prayer of Agreement and Prayer of Petition.  Today I will be speaking about Prayer of Faith.

The prayer of faith is always based on the Word of God.  Nothing can be accomplished without faith.  There is no need to pray if you don't believe that God will hear you.  He is able and he will perform it.  You don't have to add "if it be your will" because you know according to his Word it is his will.  To pray this type of prayer you must know what the will of God is - that means to search the Word of God to see what he says about the situation.

To understand the prayer of faith, we should first know what faith is and where it comes from.

Hebrews 11:1

Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.

Now My Faith Is"  you must take the word of God and make it personal.  Your faith causes you to receive the things of God, it is making available to you the promises of God. 

Mark 11:22-23

Have faith in God, Jesus answered.  Truly I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain Go, throw yourself into the sea, and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them.

Below is a great example of a prayer of faith.

James 5:13-17
¹³ Is anyone among you in trouble? Let them pray. Is anyone happy? Let them sing songs of praise. ¹⁴ Is anyone among you sick? Let them call the elders of the church to pray over them and anoint them with oil in the name of the Lord. ¹⁵ And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise them up. If they have sinned, they will be forgiven. ¹⁶ 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.
¹⁷ Elijah was a human being, even as we are. 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 crops.
