To pray in faith for anything, whether it’s healing for your body, or a financial miracle, you need to know God’s will. Then faith can begin.
The way to find God’s will is to go to the Bible and find a scripture that covers your case.
For example, Jesus paid the price for our redemption and for our healing. First Peter 2:24 says, “…by whose (Jesus’) stripes, ye were healed.”
“Were” is past tense and that means we are healed. God will manifest Himself to you and your disease will disappear, as soon as you find out from the Word that you’re healed. This scripture covers your case.
Many people are waiting on the Lord to come and heal them sometime. They are trying to convince God to heal them. The price has already been paid, but you have to find the scriptures that cover your case and make them a part of you.
Never let them depart from you, regardless of the circumstances. If you don’t do this, you’re whipped. You will live your whole life without victory. It may even cost you your life.
Suppose you died at an early age through sickness. When you got to heaven, you went to church and heard Jesus preach. After the service you walked up to Him and said, “Jesus, I was a pastor’s wife (or this or that), and my husband and I love You and we saw You heal lots of people. But, Jesus, why didn’t You heal me?”
It will be sad, my friend, when Jesus turns to you, shows you His back and says, “I did! Why didn’t you accept it? Why didn’t you take a long hard look with your natural eyes at the stripes on my back?”
You may say, “Well, Jesus, I didn’t see You on earth.”
And He’ll reply, “You saw the verse of scripture. Why didn’t you accept that as truth? It says that by My stripes you were healed!”
