Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up.

James 5:14-15 - NKJV.

This scripture gives you step by step directions on what to do if you're sick. Acting on this counsel is being practical about your spirituality. This is what I do. If I'm under any degree of attack from any kind of sickness I pray for myself. I lay hands on the afflicted area, I claim a precious promise and I follow a scriptural pattern for prayer.

This is usually all that's needed and there is a re-establish of my health. Sometimes though, I sense more than this is needed. I call my wife to pray with me. This makes two of us agreeing together on my good health. Normally this does it. There are times though when I recognise more than this is needed. I call for the elders of the church! I've got some faithful elders. They will travel all the way across town to pray over me. I've had some wonderful healings this way!

On one occasion my urine was red with blood and there was an excruciating pain in my bladder area. I prayed for myself - the urine still showed blood red. I prayed with Ruth - it still showed red. I called the elders. They prayed. A couple of hours later it was all clear.
