Marlene R. in Costa Rica has been a great friend of mine and prayer partner for several years now.  We have seen God work many healing miracles, predominantly by exchanging audio prayers through WhatsApp.  Marlene is the leader of youth ministry at her church, and on July 2, 2019, one of the teen girls informed her that her Aunt Maria was suffering from stomach cancer and was scheduled for surgery in a few weeks, to be followed by chemotherapy.  Maria was in pain from the sickness, plus she had fear, stress, and depression afflicting her mentally.  The concern of the family was that it was imperative that the aunt remain healthy and not ‘catch a cold’ because that would prevent the surgery from taking place.  The hope of the family was not ‘divine healing,’ but was merely ‘not to get sick’ so that the surgery could take place.  You can listen to Marlene’s audio message below.

 

 

There are many angles you can take to have faith for healing.  We can believe that it is the will of God for us to be healed.  We can believe that Jesus paid for healing.  We can believe that a prayer of agreement will get the desired result.  We can simply exert authority believing in that.  We can lay hold of our commission from Jesus to heal the sick.  We could have faith in the mountain-moving prayer approach.  Etc…  We should be well rounded in faith and believe in all these things.  Take a look at the supporting scriptures:

God’s goodwill to be healed

3 John 1:2 NKJV  Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.

 

Psalms 103:2-4 NKJV  Bless the LORD, O my soul, And forget not all His benefits:  (3)  Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases,  (4)  Who redeems your life from destruction, Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies

Jesus paid for healing

Isaiah 53:4-5 HCSB  Yet He Himself bore our sicknesses, and He carried our pains; but we in turn regarded Him stricken, struck down by God, and afflicted.  (5)  But He was pierced because of our transgressions, crushed because of our iniquities; punishment for our peace was on Him, and we are healed by His wounds (stripes).

Prayer of agreement

Matthew 18:19 NKJV  Again I say to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven.

Authority over the devil and his works (i.e. sickness)

Luke 10:19 NKJV  Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

Believers are commissioned to heal

Mark 16:17-18 NKJV  And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues;  (18)  they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.

Mountain-moving “prayer of faith”

Mark 11:22-24 NKJV  So Jesus answered and said to them, “Have faith in God.  (23)  For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says.  (24)  Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.”

With all these things in mind, I recorded a prayer of agreement which I sent to Marlene.  We exerted our God-given authority over the devil.  We commanded the cancer cells to die and leave her body.  We commanded healing to be done.  We prayed in the manner that Jesus instructed us to in Mark 11:22-24 by speaking directly to the problem and telling it what to do.  When you do this – believing – it will be done!  Amen!  You can listen to the prayer below.

 

 

Over the course of the following 2 weeks, not having any updates, we prayed a few more times in similar manner.  Finally, around midnight on July 18th, we received an update.  The family had taken Aunt Maria to the doctor, and to everyone’s joyful surprise, she was completely and entirely cancer-free according to the doctor!  Thank You, Jesus!  Keep in mind that Maria never had any treatment, never had surgery, and never took chemotherapy.  This was 100% divine healing and it transpired in the 2 week period following prayer.  Amazing!  God is good!

This is a great healing testimony, but what would be better than this would be not getting sick in the first place.  We have promises of God and works of Jesus that entitle us to a long life of health if we will only believe.  We need to focus on studying and teaching the full salvation of Jesus Christ and begin to walk in personal victory and altogether avoid the need for miracles.  Amen!  I encourage you to take all the teachings on the teaching page and be strengthened in faith.

 

God bless you!

Marlene & Bobby
