-Why
do some die after praying for them to be healed?
-Do we have to be anointed
with oil before God would heal us of illness as it says in
James
5:14? And, do we have to be anointed with oil to be recognized
by God as being Christian?
The next verse there says
that it is the prayer of faith that saves the sick. The anointing with
oil was a sign of preciousness, of value.(John
12:3,5-7), toward the present object
of one's love and concern who is sick. Know that
you are precious
in God's sight, in God's heart.
Being a Christian
is a thing of the mind, of the spirit
we all have. When one has the Holy Spirit, which is the attitude
of high consciousness of the Creator, he is in the
family of God.
