[madison10]

Why do you use intercessors who still possess their human body to intercess for you when you can go directly to Christ the Mediator?

"Is any of you in trouble? He should pray. Is anyone happy? Let him sing songs of praise. Is anyone sick? He should call the elders of the church to pray over him and anonint him with oil in the name of the Lord.

And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; The Lord will raise him up. If he has sinned, he will be forgiven.

Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective. Ephesians 5:13-16 (NIV)

That would be James NOT Ephesians.

Very good! It sounds like we are in agreement over a number of things now. We all learn from each other.
