When the Righteous Cry, the Lord Hears, and Their Prayers Avail Much

When the righteous cry, the Lord hears, and their prayers avail much.
The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much. (James 5:16)
When we want our prayers to avail much before God, we have got to let the powers of the precious blood of the Lamb wash away our sins. Sometimes in our walk with God, we just might have a fall, but that is not going to cause God to cast us down. David said in Psalm 37:24, "Though he fall he shall not be utterly cast down: for the Lord upholds him with his hand." David said that because one day he had a fall, and he tried to hide or cover his sins. But he learned that it was not going to work. So David concluded, "If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me" (Psalm 66:18).
On September 25, 1975, I came to Jesus. I was wearied, wounded, and sad, feeling that at any given time, I was going to lose my mind. I got down on my knees in the bathroom in front of the commode, and with a godly sorrow in my heart, I pleaded for forgiveness for my sins. The powers of the precious blood of the Lamb covered my multitude of sins. God told me, "Get up. Go preach my word. Let the world know when the righteous cry, the Lord hears, and their prayers avail much."
