We are declaring the truth of who God is, and proclaiming the power and omnipotence of God in our lives. When we call on the Lord and pray the names of God, we are infusing the very essence of God into our prayers. When we pray the Word of God, we are speaking the truth of God into our very situations–and God’s Word never returns void! That is what it is equally important that we pray the names of God. One of the most powerful and effective ways we can pray is by praying the Word of God. The common thread throughout this passage is prayer. If they have sinned, they will be forgiven. 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. Is anyone among you in trouble? Let them pray. Is anyone happy? Let them sing songs of praise. 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. And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well the Lord will raise them up. Think about the words of James in this passage:
Prayer to God is as vital as the air we breathe. Even when we experience moments of peace and joy, we can still connect to the Lord in prayer.īecause we need God every moment! In the good times, and in times of struggle– we need the Lord. When we pray the names of God during seasons of difficulty, we can trust and believe that he hears us. The names of God reveal to us the very nature of God.
What better way to do this than by uttering the powerful names of God in prayer?! The names of God described in the Bible speak of his very essence and character. In moments of doubt, discouragement and despair, we must remind ourselves of who God is. We need to be reminded that he is working in our lives, even when the circumstances around us seem to scream the opposite.
Why is this so important? Because declaring the truth of God through his Word is a powerful weapon of warfare against the enemy.ĭuring the difficult moments and seasons of life, we need daily reminders of the fact that we serve a GREAT God! One of the best ways to remind ourselves of this truth is to proclaim (yes, even aloud!) that God is good. We declare the truth of who God is, and proclaim his power and strength in our lives. As we call on the Lord and pray the names of God, we infuse the very essence of God into our prayers. Praying the names of God is a powerful way to pray.
