The document discusses following the plan outlined in James 5:13-17 for dealing with sickness. It says to call for the elders of the church to pray and anoint the sick with oil, as the prayer of faith will save the sick and forgive their sins if they are healed. It emphasizes confessing sins to one another and praying for healing, as the prayer of a righteous person is powerful. It notes Elijah as an example of effective fervent prayer and cites Isaiah 53 to show Jesus bore our pains, sicknesses, and sins to bring healing and peace.
