--- title: Devotional | He Paid For it All description: True faith isn’t just about hearing—it’s about doing. In this powerful reflection on James 1:22 and the Parable of the Talents, Todd White challenges believers to move from knowledge to obedience, surrendering fully to Jesus and living with purpose, purity, and power. image: https://media.lifestylechristianity.com/hubfs/Feautured%20Image%20He%20Paid%20For%20it%20AllWhite%20BG.png --- [Skip to content](https://media.lifestylechristianity.com/todd_white_devotionals/devotional-he-paid-for-it-all#main-content) [![Lifestyle Christianity](https://media.lifestylechristianity.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Artboard%202-1.png?width=800&height=635&name=Artboard%202-1.png)Homepage](https://lifestylechristianity.com/) - [Devotionals](https://media.lifestylechristianity.com/todd_white_devotionals) [Give](https://lifestylechristianity-bloom.kindful.com/) - [Devotionals](https://media.lifestylechristianity.com/todd_white_devotionals) [Give](https://lifestylechristianity-bloom.kindful.com/) ![](https://media.lifestylechristianity.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Feautured%20Image%20He%20Paid%20For%20it%20AllWhite%20BG.png?width=1201&height=629&name=Feautured%20Image%20He%20Paid%20For%20it%20AllWhite%20BG.png) He Paid For it All # Devotional | He Paid For it All ![Todd White](https://media.lifestylechristianity.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Artboard%20192.png?width=48&height=48&name=Artboard%20192.png) Todd White July 31, 2025 ## And the prayer of faith will save the sick … ## JAMES 5:15 (NKJV) When my mom miraculously got healed of breast cancer, not only did God heal her of the cancerous tumor, but He removed the metal marker implanted by the surgeons as well — both completely disappeared! Listen, whether it’s a sprained pinky or a tumor, *it doesn’t take more of God to heal either*. That’s right — sometimes we’ve been so threatened or scared by something that has hit us that we pray harder, we pray louder, we pray stronger, and we think that something in our prayer is going to shift things. **It is not our prayer that heals, delivers, and sets free; it is faith in God.** When we pray, we want to have faith in God. This is why we need to** study the Word of God** and ***know***** the God of the Word** so that we understand why we have authority to pray for the sick. See, the Church as a whole doesn’t believe that God is supernatural except at conversion. At conversion, we believe that if you confess with your mouth and believe in your heart that Jesus is Lord, you shall be saved. (Romans 10:9) And it’s true, of course. That is true, but here’s the deal: When I say that’s true and you believe it’s true, somebody can pray a prayer and get saved, and it requires no demonstration on your part. All it does is require somebody’s surrender and for somebody to believe in God that Jesus Christ is Lord. Are you with me? Now, when I say that healing is for today, *that* involves complete demonstration on your part because if you say healing is real and you pray, and it doesn’t happen, you “look” like a fool. Therefore, the pride and fear of man enters in, and because we want to look good in front of people, we just don’t pray — we don’t want to “let anybody down.” Listen, I don’t care whether anybody believes this or not — this is about faith and this is about Jesus Christ paying a high price for us to be saved. If we see what that word “saved” is, the same word is used in a different section of Scripture. It says in James 5:14, 15 (NKJV) “Is anyone among you sick? … the prayer of faith will save the sick …” The word “save” means more than what you think it does. The word “save” in the Greek is **“sozo”** and it means **“saved, healed, delivered, protected, made whole, to be kept safe and sound, to be kept safe from harm,”** so the Greek gives us the complete meaning. Now, let’s plug the definition in when someone confesses that Jesus is Lord: *They shall be saved, they shall be healed, they shall be delivered, they shall be protected, they shall be made whole, they shall be kept safe and sound, and they shall be kept safe from harm.* It’s so much fuller! It doesn’t just mean “get to Heaven.” This is powerful! This is what salvation brings — it’s a whole package! It’s not just for our eternal benefit, but for our earthly benefit as well! We just have to believe what God says in His Word, and follow it. It’s as simple as that: **Believe** and **do**. *Leave the rest up to God*. Don’t let the enemy or your past failed experiences erode your belief. **The currency of Heaven is faith — keep stirring it up; keep stepping out; keep it growing!**   #### -Todd ## Share this post [mailto:https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.lifestylechristianity.com%2Ftodd_white_devotionals%2Fdevotional-he-paid-for-it-all](mailto:https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.lifestylechristianity.com%2Ftodd_white_devotionals%2Fdevotional-he-paid-for-it-all) ## Keep reading ### [![](https://media.lifestylechristianity.com/hs-fs/hubfs/DEVO%20WideMade%20New.png?width=1200&height=630&name=DEVO%20WideMade%20New.png) live like you've been made new Devotional | Live Like You’ve Been Made New](https://media.lifestylechristianity.com/todd_white_devotionals/devotional-live-like-youve-been-made-new) ### [![](https://media.lifestylechristianity.com/hs-fs/hubfs/DEVO%20Widedevo.png?width=1200&height=630&name=DEVO%20Widedevo.png) radical generosity changes everything Devotional | Radical Generosity Changes Everything](https://media.lifestylechristianity.com/todd_white_devotionals/devotional-radical-generosity-changes-everything) [![LC_Horizontal_Logo_Black](https://media.lifestylechristianity.com/hs-fs/hubfs/LC_Horizontal_Logo_Black.png?width=300&height=62&name=LC_Horizontal_Logo_Black.png "LC_Horizontal_Logo_Black")](https://lifestylechristianity.com/) EXPLORE • CONNECT • ENGAGE [MINISTRY SCHOOL](https://lifestylechristianityu.com/) [WORSHIP ACADEMY | LCU](https://lifestylechristianityu.com/worship-academy/) [MERCH & ONLINE STORE](https://lifestylechristianitystore.com/) [GIVE & INVEST IN ETERNITY](https://lifestylechristianity.com/give/) [BECOME A PARTNER](https://lifestylechristianity.com/giantslayers/) [INVITE TODD TO SPEAK](https://lifestylechristianity.com/booking/) [HOST A POWER + LOVE](https://lifestylechristianity.churchcenter.com/people/forms/465136) --- *© 2025 Lifestyle Christianity.* All rights reserved. | [Privacy Policy · Legal](https://lifestylechristianity.com/privacy-policy/)  ```json { "@context" : "https://schema.org", "@type" : "BlogPosting", "author" : { "@type" : "Person", "name" : "Todd White", "url" : "https://media.lifestylechristianity.com/todd_white_devotionals/author/todd-white" }, "dateModified" : "2025-08-01T19:54:23.553Z", "datePublished" : "2025-07-31T21:20:46.000Z", "headline" : "Devotional | He Paid For it All", "image" : [ "https://media.lifestylechristianity.com/hubfs/Feautured%20Image%20He%20Paid%20For%20it%20AllWhite%20BG.png" ], "mainEntityOfPage" : { "@id" : "https://media.lifestylechristianity.com/todd_white_devotionals/devotional-he-paid-for-it-all", "@type" : "WebPage" }, "publisher" : { "@type" : "Organization", "logo" : { "@type" : "ImageObject", "url" : "https://media.lifestylechristianity.com/hubfs/Artboard%205-1.png" } } } ```
