In reply to Audrey. To be honest, I haven't sent out any emails in over a year, as I am deep into a Master's program and have not taken time to post anything new here. I hope to get back to doing so, soon, but will never send an email out more than weekly, and more than likely, it would be monthly.

On your timeline of Old Testament prophets, I don’t see Elijah or Elisha.

I was researching which method to use. The R.E.A P. method appealed the most to me. I prayed about it. I googled the method to see if there were any reviews. I found your article. Before i subscribe to your e-mail I would like to know how often you send out e-mails.

In reply to John.

I’m so sorry for your situation, John. Sincerely! And I do not have an answer as to why healing does not always happen for everyone. I pray that your experience does not lead you to doubt Jesus and His love for you. Experience is a bad driver of theology!

I grew up in a family, attended a Bible college, and was on staff at churches that did not believe in healing. While they would share their views as though they were based in scripture, the point always came down to, “I have never experienced it, and until I do, I will not believe.” Unfortunately, the biblical dynamics require things to be the other way around. A person cannot receive from God what they do not believe He is willing to give (Hebrews 11:6). And still, there is the reality that sometimes Jesus does for others what He cannot do for us, due to some unknown reason. This was the case for John the Baptist, who was destined to die in prison. Jesus quoted for him from Isaiah regarding all the promises He was fulfilling to others (29:18, 35:5, and 61:1). However, Jesus leaves out one key promise John was hoping for: “liberty to the captives” and “freedom to those in chains.”

Jesus essentially says, John, everything you have seen and heard of me is true, but I cannot get you out of this prison cell. He give no explanation, only the hope that John will not lose faith over it: “And blessed is the one who is not offended by me” (Luke 7:23).

I pray that you find your hope in Jesus, whether healing comes or not. I will continue to pray that it does come to you and soon.

In reply to Dylan. This is what Jesus modeled for His disciples, speaking to the people's bodies (Mark 5:41), and what the disciples continued after Jesus ascended (Acts 3:6).

In reply to Kimberly. Great question. While we do not have this exact phrasing modeled in prayer for healing in scripture, we do clearly have the model of petitioning prayer, "in Jesus' name" given to us in scripture. See, for example, John 14:13, John 15:16, and John 16:23.

I used to believe in it only because I heard it but never saw it happen. I been sick for almost 11 years and nothing. I prayed for my dad, he died. I prayed for my mom she still sick I prayed for so many and they all died. I won’t pray anymore I don’t know how to. I stopped going to church and I have no friends. 52 years old. This is damaged teaching.

Hi I have a question… please answer as soon as possible it’s kind of an emergency So my sister is in the hospital, she had a cardiac arrest due to a staph leak infection and diabetes. And due to the diabetes and the cardiac arrest, her brain swelled, injuring her brain stem. She is in a coma right now and we are really really need her to wake up right now and be restored But like she doesn’t have like a sickness? Or I mean she does, she has the diabetes, but just one of the things that needs healing. So my question is what would I say for healing in this situation? Like am I supposed to talk to my sisters brain????? And say “brain in the name of Jesus I command you to be healed” ?????? Please give me some suggestions on what I should say

This is a great post on healing. I do have a question about petitioning prayer.

As mentioned: When we see Jesus and the disciples pray, there are two ways that they demonstrate for us. The first is a petitioning prayer. This is when we ask the Lord to heal the person. For example, “God, right now I ask in Jesus Name, that you would take this pain from my brother…”

Where can I find this example in the Scripture? Thank you
