James 5:16

"The effective,fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much" I learned alot today from this little verse. Avail means to exert or have power, to be a force, to overcome. When we have effective prayer(Based on the authority of the Word of God) Fervent prayer(Based on the purpose of glorifying God) Righteous prayer(Based on the righteousness of Jesus) Our prayers are forced to be reckoned with.....To say this verse another way is "when by the authority of the Word of God, and with the glorifying of God, because of Jesus righteousness and the Holy Spirit living in me my prayers are a force to be reckoned with."
