Anointing the sick with oil has been practiced for millennia. Have you ever wondered why? I did. Turns out it's a very important part of our healing tool kit.

Healing the Weary
Sometimes life is just plain tiring. When sickness is piled on top of that, it's hard to fight the good fight of faith. We all need help occasionally.
Praying Over the Sick
In our modern western church, the practice of praying over the sick in a persistent, corporate manner seems almost lost. When James said "pray over" the sick, I think he had much more in mind that what we see in most church services. God wants us healed. Let's follow His instructions.
Who You Gonna Call?
God wants to heal His people. The only passage on healing addressed specifically to Christians is in the Epistle of James. Let's take a look at the instructions.
Jesus, We Enthrone You
When God's people raise their voices in praise, they provide Him with a throne to rule and reign in their midst. When the Presence sits on the throne of our praise, the enemy flees and stumbles.
He is Here!
Jesus promised that when we gather in unity as His people, He will always show up, and that in those moments, our corporate prayers would have a multiplied impact. When we gather to worship Him, His Presence is in our midst. It’s a fact. He promised.
We Have an Advantage
You can be confident that the Spirit who is with you will do exactly what Jesus would do if He were physically present. He wants you to succeed in what He has asked you to do. He wants it more than you do. In every situation you encounter, you have a very unfair advantage.
We are Family
"Whether we act like it or not, if we have committed our lives to Christ and believed on His name, we are children of the same Father. We are family. As with your natural clan, you may have some siblings you don’t like. You may disagree with one another, but you’re still family. You were born that way. Likewise the church."
2026: Vive en la luz
Como cristianos, debemos ser ciudadanos activos y comprometidos. Sepa en qué cree y por qué, y luego exprésese. Pero nunca piense que la política puede abordar el problema fundamental. El problema siempre es el intento del enemigo de detener la difusión del Evangelio y desanimar o engañar a los santos. Los políticos reflejan la naturaleza de las personas que los eligen y los toleran. Hasta que la gente no cambie, el gobierno no lo hará. La respuesta está en cambiar a las personas. Entonces, ¿qué hacemos?
Reclaim the Sabbath
Itf you're struggling with the weight of life, or frustrated by unanswered prayers, or feeling discouraged and alone, or struggling for physical healing, maybe it's a good time to swallow that spiritual pride and go to church. Lives change in His Presence.
