John Wesley, founder of the Methodists, said, “God does nothing but in answer to prayer.” Prayer is the God-Man vehicle for carrying out His will.

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!

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).
