What exactly is “Healing Prayer”? What are the goals, purposes of healing prayer? What is a Scriptural context? This message answers such questions, and most importantly, can help you to discern if this is something the Lord wants you to experience. Properly understood, “healing prayer” is part of our spiritual formation, of becoming like Jesus, an integral part of our personal transformation. Healing prayer revolves around Christ who lives in us and in our midst. Healing prayer is part of our sanctification, our life in the Spirit, our abiding in Christ, and always experiencing more of Christ’s love. Healing prayer is for the whole person – body, soul and spirit – and thus more than prayer for physical healing.
But does healing prayer have a place in the modern, scientific world? Absolutely, especially when you consider that according to the medical profession, about 70% of chronic illnesses have a relational, emotional or spiritual root. Don’t forget – the third leading cause of death is iatrogenic – that is, medically caused especially by prescription drugs.
