Continue to share about prayer and seek God’s face. Lord Jesus has a prayer life, we can see from the following three verses.
Mk 1:35 Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where he prayed.
Here we see Lord Jesus got up very early in the morning to a lonely place to pray. When we get up in the morning, the first thing we should do is to pray.
Lk 6:12-13 12 One of those days Jesus went out to a mountainside to pray, and spent the night praying to God. 13 When morning came, he called his disciples to him and chose twelve of them, whom he also designated apostles:
Before Lord Jesus the 12 disciples, He prayed all night.
Luke 5:16 But Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed.
Jesus often went to lonely places and prayed. He had a prayer life.
I used to read a book by Mardam Guyon on prayer. I found it quite helpful. The name of the book is called
“A short and easy method of prayer” You can download the pdf version of the book from the link on the left.
Madam Guyon spent a lot of time in prayer.
John 15 Lord Jesus says that He is the vine, we are the branches, Abide in the Lord we can bear fruit, apart from Him, we can do nothing. If we constantly draw near to God, seek His face, seek His presence then we can pray for healing of other people’s sickness
Mk 16:16-18 16 Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. 17 And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; 18 they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well.
When Lord Jesus heal people, sometimes He lays hands on people, sometimes He just speaks the word. When we pray for healing, no need to lay hand every time, we can just pray.
1 Cor 12:9 to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit
1 Cor 12 talks about different people have different gifts, gifts of healing is one of them.
Mk 8:22-25 22 They came to Bethsaida, and some people brought a blind man and begged Jesus to touch him. 23 He took the blind man by the hand and led him outside the village. When he had spit on the man’s eyes and put his hands on him, Jesus asked, “Do you see anything?”24 He looked up and said, “I see people; they look like trees walking around.” 25 Once more Jesus put his hands on the man’s eyes. Then his eyes were opened, his sight was restored, and he saw everything clearly.
Here we see that the blind man was healed partially first, then was healed completely. We should also pray until we get results.
Recently I had a few more experience praying for the healing of sickness of a few people., such as a christian sister with headache, my younger sister with head dizziness, a senior brother with head dizziness, a non-christian friend with arm numbness. Thanks the Lord, glory to His name.
