Episode 67 - Healing Prayer

This week Karen and Brooklyn are chatting about a specific form of intercessory prayer - prayer for healing. We may know that God is a healer.  We may have read Bible stories of miraculous healings. But, how many of us have seen it first-hand? The ladies will offer you help and hope as you learn to pray for the healing of individuals. We believe that God is the same yesterday, today, and forever, which means He still heals. Let’s learn how to join Him in that ministry.

After listening to the podcast, we encourage you to discuss it with a small group.  Use these questions to facilitate discussion: 

1. Have you seen God heal someone? Tell the story.
2. Where do we see God/Jesus heal someone in the Bible? (Tell as many examples as you can.)
3. What did you learn in this podcast?  What encouraged you? 
4. Do you find it easy to believe God for healing, or are you more skeptical? Why do you think that is?
5. Read James 5:13-18. Spend the bulk of your time praying for healing over each other.
   1. Take turns sitting in the center of the room.
   2. Is there anything you need to confess, anything you need to bring into the light?
   3. What needs healing in your life?
   4. *The rest of the group should surround that individual, lay hands on them, and pray over them. Remember to pray in faith, believing that healing will happen.  Give God thanks for the healing He will perform.
   5. Commit to continued prayers for each other until the healing happens.
