How to Get Rid of Blocks to Healing
1. UNFORGIVEN SIN
Since much of our sickness begins in our mind or spirit, that is where our healing needs to begin. PRAY: “Lord, forgive me. I place my resentment, hate, bitterness, envy, (whatever needs forgiveness or deliverance) under the power of your Precious Blood. Thank you for forgiving me.”
2 UNFORGIVENESS
“Lord, you have removed my sins from me as far as the East is from the West. I want to forgive …. with your forgiveness. I forgive myself as you do. God, I forgive you for taking …. (a spouse, parent, child, friend, etc.) from me … .”
3. WRONG RELATIONSHIPS
Things or people in place of God equals spiritual adultery. “Lord, I totally submit myself to your Word, to your Will, to your plan for my life.”
4. ROOT INFIDELITY OR AMBIGUITY IN SERVING JESUS
(Two-Kingdom Living)
“Lord, show me and take from my life anything that is rooted in the satanic–jewelry, books, records, tapes, artifacts, etc … ”
5. UNBELIEF
Expect Jesus to touch you with His love. God will not force anything on us. Put your faith not just in your faith but in His unconditional love.

6. DEMANDING ON YOUR OWN TERMS
“Jesus, you said: they will lay their hands .. .’ and you said through James “confess your sins … ” Help me to do what you ask that I may be healed.” To say” if God wants me well He can just heal me” is to ignore His terms.
7. FALSE VALUE ATTACHED TO SUFFERING
There is such a thing as redemptive suffering but not in the beatitudes. There is such a thing as psychological attachment to suffering. PRAY: “Jesus, your glory is in my wholeness. You bore my infirmity. You have healed my sickness. You are the same yesterday, today, and forever. The same power that healed the leper, the blind, the lame IS AT WORK IN ME and I thank you for it.. .. ” Leave the timing up to God, and the how of your healing to Him as well.
8. INSUFFICIENT INSTRUCTION
St. Paul says: “Faith comes from hearing and hearing by the Word of God. ‘: Read God’s Word especially the Gospel of Luke and highlight the healings so that you can read them again and again with a prayer like the above.
9. PRAYING IN THE WRONG WAY OR FOR THE WRONG REASON
There are no best words or recipes for praying except to come before God each time praying: “Lord, show me how to pray and purify my reason for wanting this healing.” The greatest reason for healing is the Father’s Glory and because He has mercy upon us.
“They Shall Lay Hands Upon The Sick And They Shall Recover” (Mark 16:18)
(Before laying hands on the sick)
Remember Jesus works through people. He doesn’t give anyone a perfect, surething gift of healing. We always need to pray with faith in His love and His mercy. Leave the results to Him. Read as much as you can about healing. Pray and fast if you can. Ask the person to pray imagining Jesus touching her and healing. Try to give her some literature in advance.
(Laying on hands)
Imagine Jesus healing the person as you pray. Tell the Lord that you believe in what the Scripture says … that He will heal. Pray from Scriptures. Thank the Lord for the healing that is taking place. Believe that the healing has begun. Do not fret if the person feels nothing; healing depends on believing not feeling. (Some of the greatest healings have had no immediate evidence.)
(After laying on hands)
Exhort the person to continue to thank freely using Scripture to grow in his faith in God’s love for her. Always imagine the person as well when praying for her.
