Our expectation is absolutely key to receiving the healing that God has for us. Expectation toward His Word, expectation of Him as healer, expectation for resolution—an expectation of new life!

You must open the Word of God to discover the tools, realities, and principles that He has given to you to keep the door closed to any sickness and disease that may try to enter or return to your body.

When I have a time of need I don’t worry about what I have done wrong, I simply submit myself to God, humbling myself before His great and mighty work, recognizing what He’s done, and acknowledging that I am made righteous by the sacrifice of Jesus Christ.

Recognize that you have the power tool in your mouth through the great confession of our Christianity—which says that God is alive, Jesus is my healer, ALL things are possible—and what you see now is not the reality of where you will see me later!

One of the greatest ways to establish the foundation of healing in your heart and in your life is by using your own confession of God’s Word and hearing it in your own ears!

If Jesus went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed, who was oppressing them? Were they oppressed of sickness sent by the hand of God? No! Acts 10:38 clearly shows us that they were oppressed of the devil: “…how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him.”

“To one there is given through the Spirit the message of wisdom, to another the message of knowledge by means of the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit” (1 Corinthians 12:8-9).

Sometimes we receive healing without even praying for it—we hear the word of God and believe it, and healing comes into our body. This is God’s gift.

When sickness tries to attack me I say, “Devil, the same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead now lives in me! God’s power is in me! Sickness, I command you to leave my body right now!”

James 5:14-15 says, “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.” According to this Scripture, we can ask our pastor or a church leader to anoint us with oil and pray for our healing.

The Bible says that through the name of Jesus we have authority over the devil, sickness, and disease. Therefore, when we pray we use the authority that God gave us through Jesus Christ. We can boldly say, “In the name of Jesus, sickness, you must leave my body!”
