Episode Notes:

Disclaimer: I want to say upfront that I don’t know why some people are healed and others aren’t. It doesn’t make sense. As I was pondering this topic, I was waiting in Urgent Care with my daughter after she suffered a horribly painful ankle injury playing basketball. Praying didn’t seem to change the result. Yet, I have previously prayed for two other broken ankles, and both were instantaneously healed. It doesn’t make sense. I do know, though, there are some things that aid healing and see tremendous results. Often, once we gain authority in a particular area, we see an increase in healings.

First Principle: Ask what they would like Jesus to do for them

· Don’t presume.

· Love the person.

· Treat them with respect, kindness, and compassion, not as an opportunity to fix them.

· E.g. A man brought his son for healing but really wanted to know Jesus.

Second Principle: Ask God what He wants you to pray

· Recognise the authority you have from Jesus. John 14:12 “Whoever believes in Me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these.”

Third Principle: Tips we’ve found that aid healing

· Command. Don’t beg, e.g. “Pain go in Jesus’ name.”

· Don’t say, “if it is your will”. God’s will is always complete healing, as sickness is from the devil. God didn’t create sickness or cancer, etc.

· Speak to the part/condition. Tell it what to do. Don’t cower. Sickness bows to Jesus.

· Touch can help.

· Don’t say “cancer die”.

· Ask what else happened at the time when the pain/injury first started. Lift off shock and trauma.

· Short prayers are effective.

· Kids healed from anaphylaxis – 7 words – “Oh, God, take care of this family”

· Treat everyone with respect, love and kindness.

Fourth Principle: Lift off shock and trauma

· Often there has been a traumatic event just prior to the injury.
