No challenges are more daunting than those that require healing, whether they're of a physical, spiritual or emotional nature. Use these resources to request prayer for your own healing and to guide you in helping others heal as well.
Understanding the importance and role of the Crucifixion, Resurrection, and Ascension of Jesus, can provide a grounding and understanding, that will provide the basis for confident engagement against the evil one and his forces of darkness, who are hell bent on thwarting and destroying all the works of God and those who love him.
By virtue of believing in Christ, we believe his followers are made ambassadors for his Kingdom (II Cor. 5), and as ambassadors we are told to act in his name, with his authority over the one who stands against him. We learn to wear our spiritual armor, while at the same time, always remembering that we have help, because "The battle is the Lord's."
We can always stand in prayer for the healing of someone who is sick. The Bible confirms this in:
James 5:14-15 "Is any one of you sick? He should call the elders of the church to pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise him up. If he has sinned, he will be forgiven." NIV
God will honor our prayers and heal that person.
Healing is the children’s bread. God desires that we should be whole spirit, soul and body.
III John 1:2 “Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.”
Jesus completed the work of healing and redemption on the cross at calvary
Isaiah 53:5 “But he was wounded for our transgressions. He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement of our peace was upon Him and by His stripes we are healed
Jeremiah 8:22 “Is there no balm in Gilead, Is there no physician there? Why then is there no recovery for the health of the daughter of my people?
There are many other references that have to do with healing from the scriptures. The person intending to stand healing for another person must base his prayers on Bible principles that guarantee healing. And any prayers said in faith would certain be effective.
James 5:13-16 “Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray. Is anyone cheerful? Let him sing psalms. Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.”
