THE ABC’S OF A DIVINE HEALING MINISTRY

A – AVAILABILITY

2 CHRON 16:9 FOR THE EYES OF THE LORD RUN TO AND FRO THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE EARTH, TO SHEW HIMSELF STRONG IN THE BEHALF OF THEM WHOSE HEART IS PERFECT TOWARD HIM.

JAMES 4:17 THEREFORE TO HIM THAT KNOWETH TO DO GOOD AND DOETH IT NOT, TO HIM IT IS SIN.

B – BOLD BELIEVING

PROV 28:1 THE WICKED FLEE WHEN NO MAN PURSUETH: BUT THE RIGHTEOUS ARE BOLD AS A LION.

EPH 3:11B-12 …CHRIST JESUS OUR LORD: IN WHOM WE HAVE BOLDNESS AND ACCESS WITH CONFIDENCE BY THE FAITH OF HIM.

C – COMPASSION

MATT 14:14 AND JESUS WENT FORTH, AND SAW A GREAT MULTITUDE, AND WAS MOVED WITH COMPASSION TOWARD THEM, AND HE HEALED THEIR SICK.

MATT 20:34 SO JESUS HAD COMPASSION ON THEM, AND TOUCHED THEIR EYES: AND IMMEDIATELY THEIR EYES RECEIVED SIGHT, AND THEY FOLLOWED HIM.

HEALING 101

  • GET TENACIOUS AND GET FED UP WITH THE WORKS OF THE DEVIL. Understand that all sickness, torment, pain, etc. is from the devil and is illegal when you encounter it because of Christ in you. JOHN 10:10 (ESV) THE THIEF COMES ONLY TO STEAL AND KILL AND DESTROY. I CAME THAT THEY MAY HAVE LIFE AND HAVE IT ABUNDANTLY. The Word says that the devil came to steal, kill, and destroy, and that Jesus came to give abundant life. WE ARE THE DISPENSERS OF THAT ABUNDANT LIFE IF WE WILL CHOOSE TO BE!
  • NEVER TELL SOMEONE THAT GOD MIGHT BE TRYING TO TEACH THEM A LESSON IN THEIR SUFFERING. Jesus NEVER did this. Think about it like this: If you had a child, would you throw them onto a highway to teach them not to play in traffic? Of course not. So why would a good God give someone cancer to teach them to be humble? You can’t give someone something you don’t have. There is no cancer or sickness or pain or torment or suffering in heaven. How can God give us something He does not have?
  • GOD IS GOOD AND IN A GOOD MOOD, ALL THE TIME. Emphasize this to the person receiving prayer. GOD = GOOD. DEVIL = BAD. LET’S NOT GET CONFUSED HERE.
  • DON’T ASK GOD IF IT’S HIS WILL TO HEAL SOMEONE. One of His names is JEHOVAH-ROPHE, the God who heals you. It’s His name, it’s His nature, it’s His will. Jesus healed everybody
  • ACTS 10:38 (ESV) HOW GOD ANOINTED JESUS OF NAZARETH WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT AND WITH POWER. HE WENT ABOUT DOING GOOD AND HEALING ALL WHO WERE OPPRESSED BY THE DEVIL, FOR GOD WAS WITH HIM.
  • We get to partner with Him to release what He already loves to do!
  • DON’T ASK HIM TO HEAL THE PERSON…He told you to do it! How awesome is our God?!
  • MATT 10:8 (ESV) HEAL THE SICK, RAISE THE DEAD, CLEANSE LEPERS, CAST OUT DEMONS. YOU RECEIVED WITHOUT PAYING; GIVE WITHOUT PAY.
  • COMMAND THE SICKNESS OR PAIN TO LEAVE IN JESUS’ NAME AND CONTINUE TO DO SO UNTIL IT DOES. DO NOT BACK DOWN! The devil is very patient and is much more willing to stick it out in a fight with us if he knows that we’ll give up before he does.
  • RELEASE THE PRESENCE OF GOD AND HIS GOODNESS INTO THE PERSON’S BODY. (i.e. “I command all sickness/pain to leave this body in Jesus’ name and in it’s place I release the goodness of God and His Kingdom.”)
  • ASK THE PERSON AFTER YOU TELL THE SICKNESS OR PAIN TO LEAVE HOW THEY ARE FEELING. I usually ask, “On a scale from 1-10, if 10 is 100% better, how are you feeling now?”
  • ALWAYS THANK GOD FOR WHAT HE HAS BEGUN TO DO, even if the person is only feeling a little better. Thankfulness releases more of God’s presence into the situation and in most cases will unlock further breakthrough. Pray again after verbally thanking God for what He has started and that He never left anybody half-way healed.
  • NEVER BLAME THE PERSON FOR NOT HAVING ENOUGH FAITH TO BE HEALED IF NOTHING HAPPENS. Lazarus didn’t have any faith to be healed—Jesus had enough faith for Him, so should we! Jesus always acknowledged faith in the other person but it was NEVER necessary. Jesus knew who He was–a man who was not under the curse of sin (just like us because of His blood) who was in right relationship with the Father (just like us because of Jesus).
  • HAVE FUN! God is good and loves when His children believe His Word! WE NEED TO STOP READING WHAT WE BELIEVE IN THE BIBLE AND START BELIEVING WHAT WE READ! ”BELIEVERS WILL LAY HANDS ON THE SICK AND THEY…SHALL RECOVER!” It’s His reputation on the line…not yours. So start laying hands on people and destroy the works of the evil. (knock the devil out of them!)

BE A DOER OF THE WORD. READ THE SCRIPTURE AND START HEALING THE PEOPLE YOU GET IN CONTACT WITH. HAVE FUN! God is good and loves when His children believe His Word!

The Power of Words

Image
The tongue can bring death or life; those who love to talk will reap the consequences. Proverbs 18:21‭ NLT The tongue is a powerful tool. It can be used to build up or tear down, to encourage or discourage, to heal or harm. The Bible says that the tongue "can bring death or life; those who love to talk will reap the consequences" (Proverbs 18:21). Our words have the power to affect others in a profound way. They can make someone feel loved and appreciated, or they can make them feel hurt and rejected. They can build someone up or tear them down. They can be used to spread gossip and lies, or they can be used to speak truth and love. The way we use our words is a reflection of our character. If we are quick to speak harsh words, it shows that we are not kind or compassionate. If we are constantly gossiping and spreading rumors, it shows that we are untrustworthy and manipulative. But if we are careful about what we say and use our words to build up others, it shows that we

The Power of Prayer

Image
  Then if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and restore their land. 2 Chronicles‬ ‭7:14‬ ‭NLT‬‬ 2 Chronicles 7:14 is a powerful verse that contains God's promise to restore His people and their land if they will humble themselves, pray, seek His face, and turn from their wicked ways. This promise was originally given to the nation of Israel, but it has relevance for believers today. Humility Humility is the first step towards true repentance and spiritual growth. When we humble ourselves, we acknowledge our sinfulness and our need for God's forgiveness. We also recognize that God is in control of our lives and that we are dependent on Him. Prayer Prayer is the way we communicate with God. When we pray, we express our love and gratitude for Him, and we ask for His help and guidance. Prayer is also a powerful way to intercede for others and
