FIT

We must understand it is not us trying to fit God into our lives; it is God fitting us into His life. It is not like God has a need to fit into the way we think or into how we have imagined Him. Jesus said a mouth full when He said, “…he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him” (John 14:21). Therefore, capturing revelations of Jesus become moments in our lives when God is inviting us into His life.
“Sozo” is the Greek word for salvation, it is the word used in James 5:15, “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 5:15). What a concept! Sick folk needing “sozo” or needing to be saved. This scripture validates what it means to be saved in its threefold meaning. To be saved in the original language of the Bible means to be 1. delivered, 2. healed, 3. and to be made whole.
The scripture associates the forgiveness of sin with healing. Sin has a way of creating sickness; sickness in the way we see things, sickness in the way we live life. Now why would God want to fit in such things as the sickness of spirit, soul, and mind? It is us needing to fit into the life of God.
When we are sick we need a prayer of faith, a faith that will call on God for “sozo” a salvation that will bring us to a place of health. The very next scripture in James says this, “Confess your faults one to another, and pray for one another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much” (James 5:16).
Once again, the writer associates our faults with the need of healing. Faltering and sinful acts is a manifestation of something that is dysfunctional in our thinking or in the way we are living our lives. It takes the effectual fervent prayer of a righteous person who have had moments of revelation; moments in their lives when they caught a greater vision or glimpse of Jesus in the fellowship of walking with Jesus.
