Pray for Healing in JESUS' Name

Pray for Healing in JESUS' Name

We know Jesus was famous for healing the sick (Matthew 4:24]) and that He also sent out His disciples to heal the sick (Mark 6:13). But it didn't stop there; Jesus' plan was that all Christians would continue doing and speaking as He did (John 14:12). In the book of Acts we read that this is exactly what they did (Acts 5:16) and this means that you too can go out and imitate Jesus preaching the gospel and healing the sick (1 Corinthians 11:1).

And Jesus said, "Nothing shall be impossible for you", for when a believer is empowered by the Holy Spirit (Luke 24:49) and is seeking to walk as Jesus walked it becomes easy because God takes so much of your load (Matthew 11:30) And He (Jesus) sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick (Luke 9:2).

Consider Jesus' mission. He came to save the lost by showing people they needed to believe in Him. Healing was one of the methods he used to show people that He had come from God, so that they should listen to Him, believe and do what He said to do.

Nicodemus: "We all know that God has sent you to teach us. Your miraculous signs are evidence that God is with you." John 3:2

Others: And many of the people believed on him, and said, 'When Christ cometh, will he do more miracles than these which this man hath done?' John 7:31

Jesus Himself said, But if I do his work, believe in the evidence of the miraculous works I have done, even if you don't believe me. Then you will know and understand that the Father is in me, and I am in the Father John 10:38

Our mission is the same as Jesus said, as we do the works that we have been sent to do: Heal the sick and preach the gospel Matthew 10:7-8 -- then people will believe that we have the information that they need to begin a relationship with God.

Begin to study the scriptures of how to do as Jesus did. And, as you begin to walk in the miraculous, you will see people instantly healed by the power of God when you pray for them, and then your life will change in the most amazing and exciting way. Here are details to increase your likelihood of success. So, overtime, look up all the associated scriptures, but you do not have to know every related scripture to begin following Christ's example.

Prepare yourself. This is very important and can't be missed. The Bible says The preparations of the heart (your inner being) belong to man, but the answer of the tongue (the Gospel) is from the Lord (Proverbs 16:1).

3

Make sure you have received God's power. Receive empowerment by receiving the promise of the Father which is the baptism of the Holy Spirit (Acts 1:4-5). When you are baptized in the Holy Spirit you will receive power from God (Acts 1:8). This will open up to you the power to be a witness and to do all the miraculous works of the Spirit, including speaking in tongues (Acts 2:4) -- and so open the ability to lay hands on the sick and see them recover by the power of God (Mark 16:17-20).

4

Be righteous in Christ. The Bible tells us that the effective fervent prayer of a righteous person avails, or achieves, much (James 5:1) -- but God doesn't listen to those who do evil, who live by the flesh (1 Peter 3:12).

5

Believe God/Jesus works through you. Make a decision that you are going to believe God's promise of healing and that He has empowered you to present the Gospel and heal the sick. Therefore I say unto you, 'What things soever you desire, when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you shall have them' (Mark 11:24).

6

Forgive: We must not willfully hold anything against anyone, if we want to see the healing power of God, And when you stand praying, forgive, if you [realize that you] have anything against anyone: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses (Mark 11:25).

Be kind. Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, outcry and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and tender-hearted to one another, forgiving each other just as in Christ God forgave you. Ephesians 4:32

7

Spend time in prayer: Jesus spent a lot of time talking to His Father (Luke 6:12[15])(Mark 1:35[16])(Luke 5:16[17]). Also, prayer was very important to Peter, ([18]Acts 6:4) and Paul makes many references to the importance of prayer (Colossians 4:12) (Romans 12:12).

Build a strong relationship with God through prayer: So you can be confident that He will hear your prayer as you seek to do His will -- and that He will answer The blind man who was given his sight made this true statement about how Jesus had healed him: We know that God does not listen to sinners, but if anyone is a worshiper of God and does his will, God listens to him (John 9:31).

Pray both in your natural language and in your Spiritual language

Read the Bible. We build our faith through the word of God, (Romans 10:17) (Galatians 3-5) especially the gospels and the Book of Acts. Healing was a normal part of a Christian's life in the Bible, and that is the standard we should be looking to, If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, you shall ask what you will, and it shall be done unto you (John 15:7).

9

Love proactively. We read that it was through Jesus compassion on the people that He healed them. (Matthew 14:14) We need to show and cultivate in ourselves a genuine love for all, and especially the man and woman we interact with one on one in this world, and so not want to see any suffer. Paul tells us that faith works or is made effective through love, (Galatians 5:6) A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another (John 13:34).

10

Hunger and thirst: Jesus said to hunger and thirst after righteousness, (Matthew 5:6) or His right ways, and we will be filled, and have those right ways happen in our lives. So you have to build a strong desire to see people healed by the power of God and not give up or back off no matter what happens. And now, Lord, grant to Your servants that with all boldness they may speak Your word, by stretching out Your hand to heal, and that signs and wonders may be done through the name of Your holy Servant Jesus (Acts 4:29-30).

11

Connect with other people. Seek out other people who are also on this path, these will be people who will encourage and inspire you. If you can't find anyone in your local community then use your search engine, social media etc. to find like minded people who are active in praying for people and seeing God heal them.

Everyone listened quietly as Barnabas and Paul told about the miraculous signs and wonders God had done through them among the Gentiles.'' Acts 15:12
