Do you 'have committed sins', brethren? Decommit unto righteousness

‘Is any sick among you? 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 shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he HAVE COMMITTED SINS, they shall be forgiven him.' (James 5:14,15 KJV)

committed: pledge or bind to a certain course or policy

'Take, my brethren, the prophets, who have spoken in the name of the Lord, for an example of suffering affliction, and of patience. Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy.' (James 5:10,11 KJV)

Are you holding on to considerations of the kingdom of God, and the kingdoms of this world that have separated you from the anointing of God in the name of the Lord? Paul, James, Peter, John and Jude are surely elders/apostles that, in their epistles discuss the way of righteousness. If we find ourselves sick, it is a manifestation that we are bound to 'certain' policies that have separated us from His righteous cause. Recognize the elder's writings and the fruitfulness of their discipleship in the name of the Lord Jesus. You will be happy as you endure: it is the joy of the Lord!
