HOW TO MINISTER HEALING

1. Believe Jesus is Who He Says He is

He is our Healer.

Exodus 15:26b“For I am the Lord who heals you.”

He is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

Hebrews 13:8“Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.”

2. Believe we are Who He Says we are

We are the righteousness of God in Jesus Christ. (2 Corinthians 5:21)

We are ambassadors for Christ. (2 Corinthians 5:20)

We have been given power (dunamis). (Acts 1:8)

We have been given authority (exousia). (Luke 10:19)

We are to do the works that Jesus did. (John 14:12)

As believers, we are to lay hands on the sick and they will recover. (Mark 16:18)

Every believer can pray for the sick.

How do we pray for the sick?

A. Keep your heart clean and ready. (Psalm 24:4)

Matthew 5:8“Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.”

B. Be aware of divine opportunities.

Ephesians 1:18a“The eyes of your understanding being enlightened.”

C. Share the truth of the Word to build faith and change the atmosphere.

Isaiah 53:5b“By His stripes we are healed.”

Matthew 8:17“He Himself took our infirmities and bore our sicknesses.”

Psalm 103:3“Who forgives all your iniquities, who heals all your diseases.”

D. Conduct a short interview with the person you are praying for.

Mark 9:21a“So He asked his father, ‘How long has this been happening to him?’”

– What is your name?

– How can we pray for you?

– How long have you had this issue?

– Was there any trauma in your life shortly before this?

E. Choose a prayer method.

Prayers of petition – Father, we ask for healing in Jesus’ Name.

Command – In the Name of Jesus, be healed.

Is there anyone you need to forgive before we pray for healing?

F. If possible, lay hands on the sick.

Mark 16:18b“They will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”

Praying as a team is best.

G. As we pray, take time to ask what the Lord is doing.

John 5:19“Then Jesus answered and said to them. ‘Most assuredly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He sees the Father do; for whatever He does, the Son also does in like manner.”

H. Post prayer encouragement.

Continue reading the Word of God. (1 Peter 2:2)

Walk in the Spirit. (Galatians 5:16)

Stand against the enemy’s counterattack. (James 4:7)

Stay connected with other believers. (Hebrews 10:25)

Encourage them to share their story (Revelation 12:11)
