QUOTES ON PRAYER

I have been driven many times to my knees by the overwhelming conviction that i had absolutely no other place to go.

Men may spurn our appeals, reject our message, oppose our arguments, despise our persons; but they are helpless against our prayers. --J. Sidlow Baxter

PRAYER TO RECIEVE HEALING
Father -
I thank you for sending Jesus to die on the cross to provide salvation and healing for me.
I thank You for the use of Jesus' name which is more powerful than any other name that exists. The name of Jesus is above the name of (name of sickness or diease) that is in my body illegally. In the authority and power of Jesus' name, that (name of sickness or disease) must leave my body.

According to Proverbs 4:20-22, Your words are health to my flesh, and according to Isaiah 55:11, Your spoken Word will accomplish and prosper in the thing it was sent to do. I speak that, in Jesus' name, by Jesus' stripes I am healed according to 1 Peter 2:24, and I believe that I recieve my healing. I thank You that as my Father You love me and have provided healing for me as part of my inheritance.
In Jesus' name, AMEN!

HEALING SCRIPTURES TO CONFESS
Now confess out loud the following Scriptures - do so as often as you need strength and encouragement. Confess the Scriptures so that they apply to you. For exsample speak 1 Peter 2:24 (below) over yourself by saying ". . . . by His stripes I was healed . . . ."

He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed.
1 Peter 2:24

Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in every way and [that your body] may keep well, even as [I know] your soul keeps well and prospers.
3 John 1:2

Surely he took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows,
yet we considered him stricken by God, smitten by him, and afflicted.

But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was upon him,and by his wounds we are healed.
Isaiah 53:4-5

My son, pay attention to what I say; listen closely to my words.
Do not let them out of your sight, keep them within your heart;
for they are life to those who find them and health to a man's whole body.
Proverbs 4:20-22

[A Psalm] of David.
BLESS (AFFECTIONATELY, gratefully praise) the Lord, O my soul; and all that is [deepest] within me, bless His holy name! Bless (affectionately, gratefully praise) the Lord, O my soul, and forget not [one of] all His benefits--
Who forgives [every one of] all your iniquities, Who heals [each one of] all your diseases, Psalm 103:1-3

He sends forth His word and heals them and rescues them from the pit and destruction.
Psalm 107:20

And He went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and preaching the good news (Gospel) of the kingdom, and healing every disease and every weakness and infirmity among the people.

So the report of Him spread throughout all Syria, and they brought Him all who were sick, those afflicted with various diseases and torments, those under the power of demons, and epileptics, and paralyzed people, and He healed them.
Matthew 4:23-24

And thus He fulfilled what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah, He Himself took [[a]in order to carry away] our weaknesses and infirmities and bore away our diseases.
Matthew 8:17

And behold, a woman who had suffered from a flow of blood for twelve years came up behind Him and touched the fringe of His garment; For she kept saying to herself, If I only touch His garment, I shall be restored to health.

Jesus turned around and, seeing her, He said, Take courage, daughter! Your faith has made you well. And at once the woman was restored to health.
Matthew 9:20-22

And these attesting signs will accompany those who believe: in My name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new languages; They will pick up serpents; and [even] if they drink anything deadly, it will not hurt them; they will lay their hands on the sick, and they will get well.
Mark 16:17-18

Is anyone among you sick? He should call in the church elders (the spiritual guides). And they should pray over him, anointing him with oil in the Lord's name.

And the prayer [that is] of faith will save him who is sick, and the Lord will restore him; and if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.

Confess to one another therefore your faults (your slips, your false steps, your offenses, your sins) and pray [also] for one another, that you may be healed and restored [to a spiritual tone of mind and heart). The earnest (heartfelt, continued) prayer of a righteous man makes tremendous power available [dynamic in its working].
James 5:14-16
