Prayer for healing is a
wonderful gift from God, it is a miracle when someone is healed through prayer.
Only God can heal, we don’t
heal anyone.
Praise His Holy Name.
We must always remember the enemy hates when people pray for healing or praying and fasting! He will do anything to sidetrack or halt it!
We must always remember the enemy hates when people pray for healing or praying and fasting! He will do anything to sidetrack or halt it!
Prayer for healing is
immediate if every thing in the formula is correct in God’s eyes! Look what
Jesus and others did in the scriptures did! “Stand up, your faith has healed
you, go and sin no more”. It took 5 to 15 seconds! We don’t need to spend 1/2 hour
or more convincing and selling that individual on what we can do.
We are not there to increase
their faith and eradicate their doubt, it won’t happen anyway. We must move on
the the next person!
We cannot make people wait!
Sure I’ve seen where prayer
warriors spend 30-45 minutes with someone who is not sure they can be healed,
it doesn’t work. They will subconsciously convince themselves they are better
because of subliminal suggestion. They will do anything to convince the prayer
warrior they are better so they can go.
We must put trust and
faith in the Lord and the Holy Spirit when we pray for healing over someone! We
only need to spend a few minutes praying over them and let the Holy Spirit take
over then. It’s the same when we witness to someone, it only takes a minute
or two, then we must trust in the Lord and the Holy Spirit.
In the Bible there were
others besides Jesus that prayed and commanded evil spirits out of individuals
and they were healed.
For us as prayer
healing warriors it’s about righteousness and strong faith in the Lord.
We must be all about love
and humility for others without any sign of pride or judging, we have no right.
We must be like Jesus.
As prayer warriors the
enemy hates what we are doing, he will attack us indirectly or directly any way
he can! We can be easily misguided and distracted in the most subtle ways.
If we get sidetracked and
turn away from the scriptures and do not listen to God Only he will step aside,
He will back off.
We must not read and
study other individuals understandings just like we must not lean on our
own understanding.
The Lord does NOT want us
reading books, watching YouTube, or commentaries written by so called experts.
That’s what the enemy wants us to do!
As Christians and prayer
warriors for healing we are to pray daily asking the Lord for protection, and
receiving wisdom and guidance from the Holy Spirit only!
There is only one book, the Word that we need to read.
Many Christians and non-
Christians doubt and are not sure God heals; they are not sure He always heals,
and they are not sure He will heal them. This is the reason why when we pray
over someone that’s ill and nothing happens.
This causes doubt and there
is no healing!
If we Christians pray for
someone or something and we hate, or dislike anyone, or can’t forgive another
our prayers go unanswered, they are a waste of time.
There are several reasons
someone is not healed;
unbelief nearby.
doubt nearby.
Unforgiveness.
Dislike or hate.
Faith less than a mustard
seed.
Not Gods will.
The individual we are
praying over must have strong faith without doubt.
We as a prayer warrior must
not have any unforgiveness, pride, dislike, or hate for anyone, if we do our
prayers go unanswered.
If we can’t forgive someone
the Lord can’t forgive us.
At times God’s wrath has
come down on individuals who are habitual sinners and don’t follow his precepts
or commandments. He will not protect them and they become sick.
Sometimes the healing can
fade away on that individual we prayed over because
his/her faith fades and or
they continue to sin again.
Many times Jesus said;
“stand up, your faith has healed you, go and sin no more”.
If the person continues to
sin the sickness can come back.
All these things can create
doubt in the person prayed over and the prayer warrior, faith fades, and doubt
creeps in. The evil one is happy.
This is a lack of faith or
weak faith, it’s called “doubt” which is one of the enemy’s favorite words!
Most sickness comes from the
enemy or unclean spirits, we must rebuke and cast out unclean spirits just like
Jesus did.
We as Christians have the
same power as Jesus to command a healing in the name of Jesus!
Other prayers can go
unanswered.
If we pray and ask for
things that are not God’s will it might not happen, if we ask for a new
Escalated or to win the lottery it might not be God’s will.

First,
we must dispel any doubt that God will heal us. We have the assurance of His
word. His promises are right throughout scripture as we have found in this
study, but for the promises to work we must meet the conditions (Psalm 66:18). If there is any unconfessed or unrepented sin in our life the Lord
will not hear any prayer we pray, whether it be for healing or anything else.
We must bring the sin before God and confess it before our fellowship can be
restored with Him ( 1 John 1:7-10). Any sin not confessed and repented of
puts a wall up between us and God and because of this we can no longer
experience God's favor, or His salvation. To remain in fellowship with God and
be partakers of all the salvation benefits Christ purchased for us with His
blood, we must walk in the light as He is in the light (Mark 11:25-26).
Forgiveness is a matter of life or death for believers. If we do not forgive
others neither will God forgive us (Matthew 18:21-35). Jesus teaches us
here that the forgiveness of God, though freely given to repentant sinners,
nevertheless remains conditional according to their willingness to forgive
others. The judgment the king pronounced on the unforgiving servant is the
equivalent of eternal damnation upon unforgiving believers, because just as the
servant could never repay His debt to the king, believers can never repay their
debt to God (Proverbs 21:13). Believers must never shut their ears to the
cry of the poor, otherwise God will shut His ears to our cries. We must always
remember that the whole salvation plan of God revolves around the law of sowing
and reaping. We can only reap from the kingdom what we sow into it (Galations 6:6-10). This impresses upon us the importance God places on our financial
support of the ministry and Church leaders in particular. If we withhold our
finances we will not be able to participate in any of the kingdom benefits,
which includes our healing. Throughout scripture we are commanded to contribute
to the upkeep of those who God has made responsible for the spiritual
well-being of His children.
James
5;16
So
confess your sins to one another and pray for one another so that you may be healed.
The prayer of a righteous person has great effectiveness.
2 Chronicles 7;14
if my people, who belong to me,
humble themselves, pray, seek to please me, and repudiate their sinful
practises, then I will respond from heaven, forgive their sin, and heal their
land.
2
Chronicles 7;14
if
my people, who belong to me, humble themselves, pray, seek to please me, and
repudiate their sinful practises, then I will respond from heaven, forgive
their sin, and heal their land.
Exodus
23;25-26
25 But you shall serve the Lord
your God, and He will bless your bread and your water; and I will remove
sickness from your midst. 26 There shall be no one
miscarrying or barren in your land; I will fulfill the number of your days.
2
Kings 5;10
Elisha
sent out a messenger who told him, “Go and wash seven times in the Jordan; your
skin will be restored and you will be healed.”
2
Kings 5;13
His
servants approached and said to him, “O master, if the prophet had told you to
do some difficult task, you would have been willing to do it. It seems you
should be happy that he simply said, “Wash and you will be healed.”
2
Kings 5;14
So
he went down and dipped in the Jordan seven times, as the prophet had
instructed. His skin became as smooth as a young child’s and he was healed.
Jame
1;5-8
5 But if any of you lacks
wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without
reproach, and it will be given to him. 6 But he must ask in faith without any doubting, for
the one who doubts is like the surf of the sea, driven and tossed by the
wind. 7 For that man ought not to expect that he will receive anything
from the Lord, 8 being a double-minded man, unstable in all his
ways.
Faith and Works
James 2; 14-26
14 What use is it, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but he has no works? Can that faith save him? 15 If a brother or sister is without clothing and in need of daily food, 16 and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, be warmed and be filled,” and yet you do not give them what is necessary for their body, what use is that?17 Even so faith, if it has no works, is dead, being by itself.
18 But
someone may well say, “You
have faith and I have works; show me your faith without the works, and I
will show you my faith by my works.” 19 You believe that God is one. You do well; the demons
also believe, and shudder.20 But
are you willing to recognize, you foolish fellow, that faith without
works is useless? 21 Was
not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered up Isaac his son on
the altar? 22 You see that faith was working with his works, and as a
result of the works, faith was perfected;23 and the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “And
Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness,” and he was called the friend of God. 24 You see that a man is justified by works and not by faith alone. 25 In the same way, was not Rahab the harlot also justified by
works when she received the messengers and sent them out by another way? 26 For just as the body without the spirit
is dead, so also faith without works is dead.
Jeremiah 33;6
6 Behold, I will bring to it
health and healing, and I will heal them; and I
will reveal to them an abundance of peace and truth.

41;4
As
for me, I said: “O Lord, have mercy on me! Heal me, for I have

Psalm
103;2-4
Bless
the Lord, O my soul,
And
forget none of His benefits;
3
Who
pardons all your iniquities,
Who heals
all your diseases;
4
Who
redeems your life from the pit,
Who
crowns you with loving kindness and compassion.
Psalm
107;17-21
Fools,
because of their rebellious way,
And
because of their iniquities, were afflicted.
18
Their
soul abhorred all kinds of food,
And
they drew near to the gates of death.
19
Then
they cried out to the Lord in their trouble;
He
saved them out of their distresses.
20
He
sent His word and healed them,
And
delivered them from their destruction's.
21
Let
them give thanks to the Lord for His loving kindness.
