The Lord is always giving you a chance to prevent diabetes, it is called daily living. Every day you are alive you have a chance to prevent diabetes. Preventing diabetes has to do with changing eating habits. Here is an article on diabetes that you may be interested in. My wife was once diagnosed with diabetes and by changing the things she ate she got rid of it in 3 months time. She also prayed in accordance with the way Jesus said to do it, speak to it.
Jesus never said to "pray for the sick". Jesus said to heal the sick.
Matthew 10:8Living Bible (TLB)
8 Heal the sick, raise the dead, cure the lepers, and cast out demons. Give as freely as you have received!
John 14:12-14Living Bible (TLB)
12-13 “In solemn truth I tell you, anyone believing in meshall do(thiscould be a command?) the same miracles I have done, and even greater ones, because I am going to be with the Father.
Mark 16:17-18King James Version (KJV)
17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;
18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall (thiscould be a command?) lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
Jesus told "believers" to "do" something about the sick and dieing. He told believers to heal the sick and raise the dead. Even if we do not see anything happen, Jesus told us to go lay hands on the sick.
Here is another scripture passage which could be taken as a command.
Mark 16:17King James Version (KJV)
17 And these signs shall follow them that believe;In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;
Here is a sample "prayer" while resting a hand on the baby.
In the name of Jesus, I speak to the sickness in this body and command it to leave this body, now, and never return. In the name of Jesus, I declare and I decree this body shall now be free of all works of the devil. This body is now healthy, well, healed and whole. I bless this body with the life of God. Thank you Jesus.
Our job as believers is to lay hands on sick people and speak in Jesus name the same things Jesus did. It is the Holy Spirits job to take it from there. We do our part, the Holy Spirit does His part. We do not need to see things "happen" immediately, we just need to do our part.
Here is a teaching by Andrew Wommack about how God wants you well.
Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.
