How To Pray For Healing And Get Results

DAY 6 OF 9

Principle #5: Cast out the spirit of infirmity

On several occasions, Jesus healed the sick by expelling demonic spirits.  It is interesting that Jesus named the demonic spirits according to their destructive action. In today's devotional Bible verses, Jesus used the expression 'deaf and mute spirit', which means that diseases can be caused by the direct action of demonic spirits. This spiritual reality may seem shocking to the Western mind, highly saturated with today's materialism. However, ignorance of spiritual realities does not make them less true. 

The fact is that there are evil spiritual entities that work to harm and destroy humanity. The Bible calls them demons and the discernment of this spiritual reality will help us understand many of the afflictions that plague our society today.

Even though these evil spiritual beings are real, there is no need to fear. The Bible teaches that Jesus Christ of Nazareth has full authority over the power of darkness and He gave all believers power to defeat the Kingdom of Darkness. In the name of Jesus we can cast out demons!

It is also important to remember though demons can cause disease, not all diseases are caused by demonic forces. We live in a fallen world that is subject to a natural process of degeneration. The Good News is that God can heal all diseases, no matter the cause of the problem.

There will be times when we can clearly discern the works of a spirit of infirmity, but there are also times when the source is not entirely clear. In any case, even when its unclear it is my practice to pray and cast out the spirit of infirmity and I recommend to you to pray the same way. You will be amazed at the miracles that will happen when you pray like this.

Putting it into practice: When you pray for a sick person, cast out the spirit of infirmity. For example, if you are praying for a deaf person, you can say “deaf spirit, I command you to leave now. In Jesus name come out!”

Tomorrow we will learn about the prayer of command for healing.
