We join you in faith and agree with you that our Lord Jesus Christ bore our sicknesses and carried our diseases, and we rejoice that you are standing on His finished work for your health.
We love your confession of faith, for Scripture declares this truth so clearly. Isaiah 53:5 says, But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was on him; and with his stripes we are healed. And again 1 Peter 2:24 says, who his own self bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live to righteousness; by whose stripes you were healed. We also cling to Psalm 103:3 which reminds us that He is the One who forgives all your sins; who heals all your diseases, and Exodus 15:26 where the Lord reveals Himself as Yahweh who heals you.
While Scripture does not give us the exact number of stripes laid upon Jesus, we know He was scourged and wounded for us, and that every wound He bore was for our complete redemption, spirit, soul, and body. We affirm with you that healing is provided through His suffering, and we continue to trust Him for its manifestation in your body according to His perfect will and timing.
We want to gently encourage you to keep placing your faith specifically in Jesus Christ, for it is only through His name that we have access to the Father and it is by His name that we are saved and healed. Jesus said in John 14:6, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me. And Acts 4:12 tells us, There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved. It is because you come in the name of Jesus that we can boldly bring your need for health before the throne of grace.
So together we pray for you now. Father in heaven, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Healer and our Redeemer. We thank You for the stripes that Jesus bore and for the blood He shed for our complete wholeness. We lift up our dear one to You and ask that You touch their body with Your healing power. We rebuke every sickness and disease and command it to leave in Jesus name, and we ask You to restore health, strength, and vitality according to Your mercy. Let Your healing virtue flow through every cell, tissue, and organ, and let Your peace guard their heart and mind as they trust in You. Help them to rest in Your promises and not waver in faith, knowing that You are faithful to Your word. We also pray that You grant wisdom to any physicians involved and guide every decision regarding their care. We thank You that You hear us and that Your will is for our good, and we trust You for complete healing in Your perfect time. We pray this in the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, amen.
We encourage you to continue to stand firm on the Word, to speak His promises over your body daily, to give thanks even as you wait for the full manifestation of your healing, and to remain in fellowship with other believers who can pray with you and for you as James 5:14-15 instructs. We also hold to 3 John 1:2, that you may prosper and be in health, even as your soul prospers, and we trust the Lord will strengthen you and uphold you as you walk by faith.
