There are several different ways to receive your healing 

We receive healing for our bodies and everything we need the same way that we received salvation – by faith. We believe in our heart and confess with our mouth. 
Because everyone’s faith is not on the same level, there are several different ways to receive healing from God’s Word. 
1. Demand in Jesus’ name for the sickness to leave your body (John 14:13-14).
The anointing is on the Word to bring it to pass.
Demand that the devil take his hands off of your body (James 4:7).
2. Pray for healing (John 16:23-24). (Acts 10:38).
3. Prayer of agreement. (Matthew 18:19) There is a powerful anointing on the prayer of agreement.  
4. Anoint with oil according to James 5:14-15. This is a point of contact to release our faith. Get help and agreement from the body of Christ. It is important to have your pastor and elders stand with you.
5. Through the laying on of hands (Mark 16:15-18). This is a command (imperative) that belongs to every believer. Jesus laid hands on deaf, blind, demon-possessed, and dead and they recovered. He gave us the same anointing He had. 
6. through the gifts of the Spirit (the gifts of healings). (I Corinthians 12:9). There is a difference between healing and miracles. Many people miss healing by trying to believe in miracles. Let God choose the method and timing. He heals in different ways. 
Through prayer, believers laying on hands, physicians, medicines, and good nutrition. He heals supernaturally or naturally. He heals instantly or in days or weeks or months, but God is the healer. He has done His part and He rested. Let’s do our part and be healed and minister to others.  
7. Know the Word of God and act on it for ourselves. It is the children’s bread. All we have to do is believe it and confess it (Psalm 107:20). See yourself as being healed and whole. Do not believe lying deceits” They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy” (Jonah 2:8). 
In any way God chooses to heal us, we must use our faith to receive it and maintain it (Mark 11:24).
So we come, asking and believing. And God says in Jeremiah 1:12 “I am alert and active watching over My Word to perform it.” It will produce results. Plant it, water it and receive a harvest of healing for yourself and others. 
The Way to Receive:
1.	Identify the problem.
2.	Make a quality decision to overcome the problem God’s way.
3.	Find your title deed to an answer in God’s Word.
4.	Hear the Word concerning your victory.
5.	Meditate the Word to plant it in your heart.*
6.	Confess the Word to release your faith, and thank God for it.
7.	Act on the Word.
8.	Apply the pressure of patience.
9.	There is an appointed time and due season.
10.	 Expect the answer.
11.	*Meditation in the Word brings your spirit and your mind together and builds your capacity for faith. It also makes you very sensitive to the leadership of the Holy Spirit.
I Cor. 3:21, 22. “Therefore let mo man glory in men. For all things are yours. Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours; and ye are Christ’s; and Christ is God’s.”

 Matthew 7:7, 8. “Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.” 

The strength of the entire body comes down from the top through each joint bearing fruit by spending time in prayer and fellowship with Jesus (abiding).It is both received and released in prayer. There has to be a Father-child relationship – without fellowship they are just related – no love or trust – they will believe lies about each other. We must know God’s will. We must have a personal, intimate relationship with God.  

When we are in the presence of the Lord our molecular system changes and is energized. 
Healing Paper Glory Copeland – “How to receive your healing” and “God’s Prescription for Divine Health”
“There is a medicine so powerful; it can cure every disease and sickness known to man. It has no dangerous side effects. It is safe even in massive doses. And when taken daily according to directions it can prevent illness altogether and keep you in vibrant health. It is available to you every moment of every day. The prescription is Proverbs 4:20-23.”

What is the medicine He prescribes? (Proverbs 4:20-24) this is God’s prescription for supernatural health.  These verses will help you keep your healing, fully receive it or maintain it. Not for just a day or year, but for the rest of your life. Trust Him to do what His Word says He will do. Basic English says “… I am the Lord you life-giver.” Knox says, “   I, the Lord, will bring you only health.”  

In Mark 4 we find the parable of the seed. The purpose of the adversary constantly is to steal the seed. And the purpose of the ground is to hide the seed and keep it there and retain it as long as possible. 

You can be delivered, you can be set free by being diligent about the Word of God, keeping it ever in the midst of your heart, keeping that seed planted firmly in the ground, not being stolen because as long as the seed is in the ground, a miracle will happen. 

Find the Scripture that applies to your situation and get that in your spirit and God will answer His Word. 

Victories come from daily studying God’s Word and applying it every day to your life. This passage is God’s intention to not only get us healed, but to give us health. 

To attend to the Word of God is to watch over it. This in the Bible is called understanding. The more we attend to the Word of God, the more understanding we will get. Attending to God’s Word is more than just reading it. It is meditating on it day and night. Joshua 1:8

The Hebrew word for meditate is “to ruminate.”  (cow) this is a great analogy for the Word of God. Pull it back up into your conscience thinking about it and roll it over and over and mutter it, meditate on it, speak about it. 

The Living Bible says, “…let them penetrate deep within your heart.” Head knowledge will not do. They must penetrate to your spirit through meditation, attending, hearing, looking, muttering, musing, pondering in order to produce healing in your body. 

When you begin to meditate on God’s Word, revelation begins to come and revelation is simply another word for understanding. It is not just the words on the page that will heal you; it’s the revelation of what God is saying that will heal you.

 Prov. 3:13-18 there are three words you will find throughout the book of Prov. There is knowledge, understanding, and wisdom. 
They are three different things. Knowledge is the accumulation of facts. Knowledge will not bless you, but knowledge is where you have to begin. Just reading the Word of God will bring knowledge to you. 

It is by meditation on the Word of God that the next thing comes and that is understanding. Understanding is the revelation of the facts. Suddenly they are more than just words on paper. What God actually said to you begins to be revealed.

Finally, wisdom is the application of it. Wisdom is the correct application of knowledge, so again we have knowledge. That is accumulating the facts. Understanding is the revelation of what was actually said. Then wisdom is the application of it into our life. 
Fellowship with God is very important. God wants us to have an intimate, personal relationship with Him. Jesus came to reveal the Father. Isaiah 57:19 

“I create the fruit of the lips.” This is the praise, the worship, the confession of the Word of God out of our life. 

“And to him that is near, saith the Lord; I will heal him.”

Jesus healed in many different ways. He left us examples.
You receive healing for your body the same way that you receive salvation and everything else–by faith. How does faith come?

Because everyone’s faith is not on the same level, there are several different ways to receive healing from God’s Word. 

1.	Because it is unlawful for satan to put sickness on you, you can demand in Jesus’ 
     Name that the sickness leave your body. John 14:12-14 
          The Greek word for ask literally means “demand”
          You demand that the devil take his hand off of your body. James 4:7
2.	Pray for healing John 16:23-24
3.	 Agree in prayer for healing Matt. 18:18-19
Whatsoever you bind on earth – We can bind the Word to us and loose Holy Spirit to work. 
4.	 Anoint with oil according to James 5:14-15
5.	 Through the laying on of hands Mark 16:15-18
God has done all He is going to do. “It is finished.” God gave His very best –Jesus- so, will He withhold any good thing?
6.	Through the gifts of the Spirit – the gift of healing. I Cor. 12:9
There is a difference between healing and miracles. Can miss healing by looking for a miracle. 
7.	Know the Word of God and act on it for yourself. 
8.	Good nutrition – sleep – 
9.	Word of God. Our spirit man must be fed, and this is accomplished by reading the Word of God. The more you are in the Word, the more your spirit man will bring your body or flesh into subjection. 

By reading the Word you are also renewing the mind which helps you gain control over your will and emotions. As we apply the Word to our daily lives, we will begin to walk in wisdom. Wisdom, in turn, will help us with our eating and dietary habits, and we will begin to practice more self-control. 

There are many benefits in having a strong spirit. 
Proverbs 18:14
Proverbs 16:24
Proverbs15:30 the Word of God is definitely good news. Speak it and it will birth blessings into your life.

Five points to remember
1.	Jesus said you lay hands on sick and they shall recover.
2.	Healing comes whether feelings do or not.
3.	God never fails.
4.	Healing always comes whether received or not.
5.	Faith for healing comes – not always released, but it always comes. 
In any of the ways you receive healing, you must use your faith to receive and maintain it. Mark 11:24. 
See yourself as being healed and whole. If you walk in faith, you will never be disappointed. 
Don’t allow yourself to be deceived. Stand on Word. Jonah 2:8
