What is the most powerful healing prayer?

The most powerful healing prayer or effective prayer for the sick is done according to God’s words. If you want to know if you are praying a powerful prayer of healing, look at the Bible and see what the word of God says. For instance, you can read instances where Jesus and His followers healed the sick.

Although Mathew 3 gives three instances where 3 people were healed, the same chapter also says that all those that came to Jesus for healing were healed. The first clearly stated instances of healing in Mathew 8  was the man with leprosy, then next was a servant of the centurion, and then Simon Peter’s mother-in-law. The important element that comes out in these instances is this

1. Effective Prayer of healing requires one to have faith that God can do it.

The man with leprosy believed that Jesus could do it. The centurion man had so much faith that Jesus said He had not found any man in Israel with such faith.

2. Powerful prayer of healing requires one to know what God’s word says

You cannot believe in a God you don’t know. Hebrews 11:6 says “Without faith is impossible to please God. Because anyone who comes to Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek him.

3. no sickness is too big or too small for God, just believe.

In Mathew 8, the first man had leprosy, the centurion’s servant was paralyzed and Peter’s mother-in-law was having fever. If you are praying for someone to get healed everyone should believe it will be done in Jesus’ name.

Powerful way to Prayer for the Sick

4. God can use many ways to heal us.

In Mathew 8, the miracles of healing were instant. But in other examples in the Bible, God used different ways to heal his servant. In 2 Kings 20: 7 the Bible says this concerning Hezekiah’s healing “Then Isaiah said, “Prepare a poultice of figs.” They did so and applied it to the boil, and he recovered.”

Hezekiah’s boils were healed by a lump from figs. We can clearly say that Hezekiah was healed, not because of the figs, but because God said he would be healed. The doctors may treat you but always believe your healing is from God.

5. A powerful prayer of faith doesn’t necessarily have to be Long.

As long as one believes, a simple prayer can heal the sick. God doesn’t look at the length of a prayer but the faith
