Healing Scriptures

The Word of God is the basis of every healing and every miracle.  Psalm 107:20 says, “He sent forth His Word and healed them.”  The Bible says, “Have faith in God…Nothing is impossible to those who believe…Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God.”

Hear this confession, and learn to speak it, because in the speaking of the Word of God you release into your life the extraordinary power that raised Jesus from the grave. 

This is the confession:

Father in the name of Jesus I confess Your Word concerning healing.  As I do this, I believe that Your Word will not return to me void, but will accomplish what it says it will.  Therefore I believe, in the name of Jesus, that I am being healed as I read and hear the Word of God.  It is written in Your Word that Jesus Himself took our infirmities and bore our sicknesses, therefore with great boldness and confidence I say on the authority of the written Word of God that I am redeemed from the curse of sickness and I refuse to tolerate its’ symptoms.

Satan, I speak to you in the name of Jesus and say that your principalities and powers, your spirits of darkness and your spiritual wickedness in heavenly places are bound from operating against me in any way.  I am the property of the Lord Jesus Christ.  I am a child of God and I give you no place in me.  I dwell in the secret place of the most high God.  I abide, I remain stable and fixed under the shadow of the Almighty.  His power is within me and no foe can withstand me.

Now, Father, because I reverence and worship You, I have the assurance of Your Word that the angel of the Lord encamps around me and delivers me from every evil work.  No evil shall befall me.  No plaque nor calamity shall come near my dwelling.  I confess that the Word of God abides in me and produces in me perfect soundness of mind and wholeness in body and spirit,  from the deepest parts of my nature in my immortal spirit, even to the joints and marrow of my bones.  That the Word of God is medication and life to my flesh, for the law of the spirit of life operates in me and makes me free from the law of sin and death.

I have on the whole armor of God and the shield of faith protects me from all the fiery darts of the wicked one.  Jesus is my high priest who hears confession and I hold fast to this confession of faith through the Word of God.  I stand immovable and fixed and in full assurance that I have health and healing in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, that my healing has been purchased through the blood of Jesus Christ and that as I read and hear these healing scriptures, the anointing power of the Lord is being released into my life to bring me divine health.
