↑ SVEIN-MAGNE: All prayers and proclamations in the Bible concerning prayer for the sick were brief.
The Effect of Short Prayers
We tend to believe that short prayers have little or no effect. But the Bible says something quite different.
Moses prayed for his sister Miriam, who had leprosy. He prayed:
“Oh, God, heal her!”
Numbers 12:13
Soon after, she was healed of this deadly disease.
The truth is: All prayers and proclamations in the Bible related to prayer for the sick were short. Peter says it was “faith in the name of Jesus, has made this NAME strong to this man” (Acts 3:16). A proclamation of faith “in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth” was enough to heal the lame man at the temple gate!
I have had several teachers in the subject of healing. Two of them were the renowned healing evangelists Charles and Frances Hunter from the USA. They used to say: “Remember, healing is simple, for it is God who does it.”
Jesus healed a man who was lame once. He first forgave him and said: “Son, your sins are forgiven you!” Then he said: “Which is easier, to say to the lame man: Your sins are forgiven you! – or to say: Arise, take up your bed and walk! But that you may know that the Son of Man has power on earth to forgive sins – he now speaks to the lame: I say to you: Arise, take up your bed and go to your house.” And he arose, took up his bed immediately, and went out in front of them all, so they were all amazed. And they glorified God and said: “We have never seen anything like this.” (Mark 2:5.10–12)
If God is almighty and loves people so much that he paid for both sin and disease on the cross – why make it difficult? Healing is part of the heritage that is for us – ready at any time. It is deposited in our “spiritual bank account.” Be bold, withdraw it in faith, prayer, and confession, declare your healing in Jesus' name and blood. For we are “bought at a price” (1 Corinthians 6:20). Confess this truth until it manifests in the visible. The Lord bless you all today. I feel the love for you all burning in my heart. I am now praying for all my Facebook friends – for health and a good, long life!
