"Confess [your] faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much." James 5:16 (KJB)

We indeed are all sinners and at times fall away from walkng in the Spirit, but Jesus is merciful, thank you Jesus! The key I believe is in confessing the fault, the sin that you believe you have committed. Just saying pray for me I believe isn't fully confessing.

By all means don't go beating yourself up over this, whatever it is, because your not alone, we all have our moments, just as the Apostle Paul illustrates in his walk.

"I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me." Romans 7:21 (KJB)

"For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would." Galatians 5:17 (KJB)

"Peace [be] to the brethren, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ." Ephesians 6:23 (KJB)

w/all do respect brother because i DO have much respect for you but the verse says confess your faults one to another not your sins. we confess our sins to God...i don't think it is necessary nor prudent to put our sins on blast on the internet or anywhere else if we don't feel comfortable doing so. i think it is sufficient for someone to request prayer. Am I wrong on this???

Notice the operative word "and"? Which is followed by, "pray for one another, that ye may be healed"? Did you forget that part of the verse? Or the last part? What wrong have I done, except post the truth? What about the other 3 verses? Yet you make an accusation out of one part of one verse? If you feel I have done wrong to the point you felt the need to admonish me, then a pm might have been in order first. Does not scripture say, "...and him alone..."?

I also know that if our enemy hunger, we, God willing, feed him. But all I got from you was...

I'm learning every day just how powerful the words of our Lord are when He said "Feed my sheep". Thank you Jesus.[/color]

whoa! this will be the last time i engage you. since you don't take people questioning ur remarks lightly. You have not proven biblically why it is required that people post up or confess publicly the sins they've commited so i will stand by my conviction that one is not required to do this in order to be healed. I don't think i am required to pm message you about something as simple as the question i had. You post up admonitions all the time that are faaaar harsher than what i posted (and i dont see how what i said was anywhere near what you took it to be) it was just my take on a verse and i even asked the question at the end "am I wrong on this?" so as not to sound pompous and that i was open to be corrected on this verse. obviously you are not open to being corrected so i will not ask you anymore questions or disagreements. 

(my pm reply to her...)

The Lord rebuke you. How dare you disrespect William, a very young brother that is seriously reaching out to the brethren for help. And you go and cause disruption by going off-topic and scolding me in public out of total disregard for William. How dare you! You got a beef with me woman, fine, but don't you dare go around blasting people like that and take away from anothers time of need.

As I said, and apparently you still don't get, a pm was in order considering the thread is from a person that is seeking immmediate help, not just a general discussion about what a person thinks about a verse or something.

God willing, what you should do is apologize profusely to William, and to the brethren for your disruption. Take the low seat and humble yourself before God.

"Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up." James 4:10 (KJB)
