Praying for Healing

Praying for Healing. Through the avenue of prayer, power is made available to you that is dynamic in its working. The Bible tells us that " ... the effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much" (James 5:16).

Your prayer will provide healing for you, as long as you ask for it in the name of Jesus. John 16:23,24 And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you. Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.

There it is. Maybe the reason a lot of folks aren't getting healed is because they're asking Jesus instead of asking the Father. The Word says you should not ask Jesus for anything. You must ask the Father, in Jesus' name. It says very clearly, " ... Whatsoever ye shall ask ... in my name ... " (verse 23).

Learn how to follow the instructions. You're walking around asking Jesus, the Holy Ghost, and everybody else to heal you. God has a method-a prescribed way of doing things-and you can't break His divine order if you want to get healed.

The reason Christians don't get what the Bible says they can have is because they won't follow the instructions. They want to do things their way.

God says that if you want what He's got, you've got to do things His way. Pray to the Father. Put His name into your vocabulary. Learn how to talk to Him constantly. Spend time with Him in the morning or on your way to work to gain understanding and direction.

He's already given you instructions on how to pray in the name of Jesus. For example, you could say, "Father, in the name of Jesus, heal me. In the name of Jesus, set me free. Father, in the name of Jesus, touch my body."

According to the Word, the Father has to do what you ask Him to do in the name of Jesus. That's the endorsement you need to get your check cashed. You 'can't take a check to the bank without the proper endorsement and expect it to be cashed.

The teller will give it right back to you, because it doesn't have the right endorsement. But, if it's properly endorsed, the teller has to cash it. It doesn't matter if you look like a crook or if you're acting suspiciously.

The check must be cashed if it's properly endorsed. Likewise, when you pray to the Father and your prayer has been properly endorsed in the name of Jesus, God has to bring it to pass. He'll make it happen.

Child of God, it's time to cash your check! You've been holding on to sickness when you had the check right in your Bible. Endorse that check called "healing" and get ready to testify about the goodness of the Lord.

The Bible says in Mark 11:24, "Therefore I say unto you, what things so ever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them." This simply means that when you pray, you believe the Word so much that you just go ahead and claim your healing.

If someone says you still look the same, you tell him or her that you are healed and you're not going to let go of that promise. Tell them you believe and receive divine healing and God has to bring it to pass.
