How to Receive Healing Pt. 2

Kenneth Copeland

Call for the elders of the Church.

James 5:14
The elders or leaders in your church should be people of great faith, people who know how to pray the prayer of faith. There certainly is no certificate that can be handed out which automatically qualifies someone as an elder in the Body of Christ. So be sure that the church leaders who come to pray for you are well established in faith.

Pray the Prayer of Agreement or the Prayer of Binding and Loosing.

Matthew 16:17-19, 18:18-20
When two or three believers get together in Jesus’ Name, He is there too. And if they ask anything and agree in prayer, it is done.

Pray the Prayer of Faith.

John 16:23; Mark 11:24; James 5:15
A very simple form of prayer involves more than just praying, “Heal me, Father.” The proper way to pray in faith is, “Father, in Jesus’ Name, I ask You for a manifestation of my healing. I believe I receive it now and I thank You for it.”
Watch how you pray, that your attitudes are straight. Make a point of praying in faith, speaking right words in prayer. And remember to believe you receive when you pray.

Receive the laying on of hands.

There are two ways to receive the laying on of hands—where people of faith actually lay their hands on your body and believe you are healed as a result: 1) by any believer (Mark 16:15-20), and 2) by special ministries (I Corinthians 12; Hebrews 6:1-2).
Speak words of faith.
Proverbs 12:6, 13-14, 18:20-21; Mark 11:23, 5:22-28
This overlaps with number one. When you believe the Word for yourself, you will automatically speak words of faith. This involves more than just saying “I am healed” a couple of times. You have to dedicate yourself, your time and your efforts to receiving the very best God has to offer. Both Jairus and the woman with the issue of blood spoke the desired end result. They spoke faith-filled words—so can you.

Have faith in the Name of Jesus.

Acts 3:6, 16; John 14:12-14; I John 3:23
Jesus’ Name carries all the authority of Jesus Himself. When Peter spoke in Jesus’ Name, it was as if Jesus were speaking. He didn’t pray for the man at the gate called Beautiful. He spoke words of faith—in Jesus’ Name. In the same way and with the same authority, you can speak to your affliction.

Partake of the Lord’s Supper.

Exodus 12:3-11; I Corinthians 11:23-30
This is a fundamental way to receive healing that has been overlooked by the Church in recent history. When you receive the body and the blood of our Lord Jesus, you should be keenly aware that you are standing on the Blood Covenant of the New Testament, and acting according to the Word of God.

As we remember the body and the blood, we should not only judge ourselves concerning sin, but we should judge ourselves concerning sickness as well. After all, Jesus paid a high price for both of them. By receiving Communion, we are partaking of everything Jesus’ sacrifice provided—salvation, peace, prosperity and healing.

Stand, knowing the New Testament is true.

I Peter 5:5-7; Romans 4:20-21
Accept the New Testament as absolute truth. Don’t be moved by how you feel. True humility as seen in the Bible means standing before God in obedience to His Word and casting ALL your care on Him. True Bible humility says, “I don’t look healed. I don’t feel healed,” but God’s Word says, ‘with His stripes we were healed,’ so I must be healed. I accept the Word rather than the circumstances.”
