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.

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!”

With faith come to God in prayer and say, “Lord, in Your Word You said that by Jesus’ stripes I am healed. I believe and I receive my healing from You!”

Many people have a habit of being sick. They surrender to their sickness, get used to it, expect it and even find an explanation for being sick. People suffer from pain, convinced that it has always been and will always be that way. “I have always had headaches and I always will.” People have become accustomed to their headaches and do not even try to resist their pain. But Jesus has already taken all your diseases on Himself!

Banish your habit of being sick! Believe that Jesus has overcome all the pain and all infirmities. BY HIS WOUNDS YOU ARE HEALED!  Only believe and accept the health that Jesus is giving you!

The message of the Gospel is spreading all over the world, but it is sad that not all who accept salvation also believe in healing—even though it is the same thing! In the time of Jesus and his disciples it was as natural to pray for healing as it was to pray for salvation. People believed and were healed!

Although it is good, it is not necessary for someone to lay hands on you for you to be healed. The truth is, you can pray by yourself and believe in the healing, because the Lord said, “And all things, whatsoever you shall ask in prayer, believing, you shall receive,” (Matthew 21:22).

We are soldiers; we have the belt of truth, the shield of righteousness and shoes of peace. I will not be afraid; I know that God will answer my prayers. I know that God will not leave me. He will take care of me, because He said in His Word, “And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:19).

Proclaim His Word, remind yourself of His promises. Do not let the devil blind your mind—oppose him with the truth of God’s Word!

Our Father said, “Ask, and you shall receive, that your joy may be full” (John 16:23-24). God is good!

“Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asks receives; and he that seeks finds; and to him that knocks it shall be opened… If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?” (Matthew 7:7-11).

How should we ask?  With confidence. How should we seek? Earnestly. How should we knock? With perseverance and confidence. “Father, I believe in Your Word. I believe that Your Word is true, and I expect to receive an answer from You.”
