OH, my heart and prayers Go out to you.
An action of faith is needed by us.
The Bible clearly shows this in the Gospel of
Mark 2:3-5
And they came, bringing to him a paralytic carried by four men. And when they could not get near him because of the crowd, they removed the roof above him; and when they had made an opening, they let down the pallet on which the paralytic lay. And when Jesus saw their faith he said to the paralytic, “My son; your sins are forgiven.â€
The human action of faith was, the group of men carrying the paralytic to the house and taking the trouble to lower him through the roof towards Jesus. They did not give up, just because the house was crowded and unable to get close.
It is not just the sick person, but others, such as relatives, friends and church communities also could pray for one’s healing. Jesus first saw their faith and only then uses his divine power to heal.
The divine power of Jesus which causes the miracle healing, comes only after the human desire and action of faith.
Jesus’ healing is wholesome. Jesus heals not only your body, but also your soul. Hence the words “Your sins are forgivenâ€.
Our ability to forgive others is another important factor before we say the healing prayer.
In order to pray for emotional healing and spiritual healing, it is important that we forgive those who hurt us. Jesus emphasises this in the Gospel of
Mark 11:24-26
“Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. And whenever you stand praying,
forgive, if you have anything against any one; so that your father also who is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.â€
James 5:16
