Personal Healing

FOUNDATION SCRIPTURES: Romans 10:17, Psalms 107:20, John 8:31-32

INTRODUCTION
Following are some bible principles involved in receiving healing from the Lord Jesus Christ through an act of your own personal Faith.

1) MEDITATING UPON THE WORD OF GOD
Proverbs 4:20-23, Joshua 1:8. The bible says that as we keep the Word of God in the following areas of our lives it will become health and life to our flesh:
i) Give attention to the Word of God - We must put God's Word first place in our lives. Find the scriptures on healing in the bible and begin to meditate upon them daily.
ii) Listen to what the Word of God is saying about healing.
iii) Don't lose sight of the scriptures and the promises of God.
iv) Keep them in the midst of your heart. Jesus said that the Word of God is like seed planted within your heart, which will produce if you guard and protect it.
To put this into practice you must search the scriptures regarding the promises of God to heal then begin to meditate upon it every day. e.g. Psalms I 03:I-5. The bible says not to forget the benefits of the Lord, healing is one of them.

2) PRAISING AND THANKING GOD
i) Romans 4:17-23 Abraham praised God before he ever received the fulfillment of the promise of God. The bible said that Abraham was strong in faith, being fully persuaded what God had promised he was able to perform. Once you ask God for your healing according to the promises of his Word, you then begin to praise and thank him for the answer, even though you haven't yet seen it.
ii) Hebrews 6:12-15, Hebrews 10:35-36 We need to be patient once we have released our faith in the promises of God. Patience is being steadfast, unmovable and enduring. With the combination of our faith and an unmovable stand on the promise of God, we will receive the promise of God.
iii) Hebrews 13:15 We are to offer up to God the sacrifice of praise, continually.

3) PRAYING IN THE SPIRIT
i) I Corinthians 14:4 Praying in tongues will edify your inner man, your spirit. God has designed prayer to help charge up our spirits like a battery by continually praying in tongues.
ii) Jude vs20 Our faith is built up as we pray in the Holy Ghost, we are edified and become spiritually strong.
iii) Romans 8:26-28 As we pray in partnership with the Holy Spirit, he makes intercession through us to bring about the perfect will of God.
iv) Isaiah 58:6 Included in your time of prayer, you should spend some time in fasting.

4) ACT UPON THE WORD OF GOD
i) James 2:26 Faith will die if it is not put to work, once you have received the Word of God on healing and spent time before the Lord; you need to act upon God's Word.
ii) Be very sure you have faith in your heart, your spirit will bear witness with you if you have the faith. It can be disastrous to act on presumption and not have genuine faith in your heart to step out in faith. Take the time to put God's Word in your heart first.
