DEDICATION

This book is dedicated to al the believers who have been

faithful y doing the works of Jesus throughout the years.

It is also dedicated to the believers who wil catch the vision contained in this book and run with it.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS:

Naida Johnson, RN, CWS, FCCWS, for her devotion to this book and the many hours she has spent in the editing of this book.

A special thank you to Spice Lussier, NMD, for her help and advice in Healing the Whole Man Handbook.

I would also like to thank those who contributed to this book in so many other ways, the hundreds of believers who have learned and applied the principles of the teachings, as wel as those who have contributed information from their experiences in the area of healing.

I would like to make it understood that I am in no way associated with the medical or physiological profession. I do not claim to treat or diagnose any disease or il ness. I do not offer the information included in this book as a substitute for medical advice or treatment. It is for your general knowledge only. I also do not take responsibility for any individual’s disease or il ness nor am I responsible for their healing. I offer no guarantee that anyone wil be healed or that any disease or il ness wil be prevented.

I do, however, believe that we are spirit beings who have a soul and live in a body according to 1 Thessalonians 5:23. I also believe that most problems that manifest in the soul and body have a spiritual root and that Jesus paid the price for our healing (Isaiah 53:5, 1 Peter 2:24).

I do believe God heals today because He is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow.

INTRODUCTION

Ephesians 1:17–19 NKJV states,

That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power.

It is God’s plan that our eyes be opened to everything that He has for us in ministry as wel as every other area of life. It is His plan that the eyes of our understanding be enlightened to those we should be ministering to as wel . It is essential we understand what God has called us to say and do each and every day.

The book of Mark does not say that those who believe wil lay hands on the sick and “upon occasion” they may recover. No, it states, “They wil lay hands on the sick, and they wil recover”

(Mark 16:18 NKJV, emphasis added).

Most Christians believe that God can heal, no matter what denomination they belong to or what church they attend. So why aren’t people being healed within the church around the world? Why aren’t Christians laying hands on the sick and seeing them recover?

The Scripture says, “These signs wil fol ow those who believe”

(Mark 16:17 NKJV). It could be interpreted as those who believe that God wil actually use them, those who believe God’s Word is for them personally, and those who believe that God wil move through them as they obey His Word. Those who believe the Word understand the hope of the cal ing on their lives and know that God wil move through them to accomplish the miraculous.

I remember the day I realized God could use me, not because I was Charles and Frances Hunter’s daughter, not because I went to ORU (Oral Roberts University), or because of any ability of my own. I knew He could use me because I believed His Word was true and at that point the possibilities for my life became limitless through faith in God.

If God can use me, He can use you, too. If God can heal me from the top of my head to the soles of my feet, He can heal you. If He can restore my broken heart and wounded spirit, He can heal yours as wel . God can do through you what He has done through me and even more. Don’t put limits on what God can do for you or through you because of your particular circumstances. Instead, believe that you have a limitless God, that His Word is true, and that it is His plan to use you to change lives.

CHAPTER 1

WHY AM I SICK?

Why am I sick? This question is asked by everyone including professionals, housewives, and even pastors. There is only one answer: sin! Think about it. Was there sickness in the garden of Eden?

Sin causes sickness. However, it does not have to be your personal sin. Hebrews 11:4 tel s us that Abel was a righteous man, but we know he died because of his brother’s sin.

According to the Word of God, the sins of the fathers (ancestors) are passed down to the third and fourth generations (Exodus 34:7).

When Jesus spoke to the crippled man who was healed, He confirmed that sin causes sickness. Afterward Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him, “See, you are wel again. Stop sinning or something worse may happen to you” (John 5:14).

Paul confirmed this also when he was talking to Christians about the way they took communion: “That is why many among you are weak and sick, and a number of you have fallen asleep” (1 Corinthians 11:30).

There are some who believe that sin is not the culprit and quote John: “As he went along, he saw a man blind from birth.

His disciples asked him, ‘Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?’ ‘Neither this man nor his parents sinned,’ said Jesus, ‘but this happened so that the work of God might be displayed in his life’” (John 9:1–3).

The disciples had been taught that sin caused sickness and that is why they asked the question. Jesus never denied that sin causes sickness. He just stated that in this particular case neither the afflicted man nor his parents sinned, but this blindness existed so the work of God might be displayed.

Some people have been taught that their sickness is from God and it somehow brings glory to God. If you hold on to this distorted thinking, then would it not bring Him more glory if you were even sicker? This way of thinking is contrary to Jesus’

teaching and would contradict Jesus’ commissioning of His disciples. “He called his twelve disciples to him and gave them authority to drive out evil spirits and to heal every disease and sickness” (Matthew 10:1). The word “every” means all diseases and sicknesses, excluding none.

Some Christians have been taught that the healing ministry of the church ceased when the last of the original twelve disciples died. I count myself among His disciples and I agree with the early church. I believe Jesus stil heals today. I have seen countless types of disease and il ness healed in the name of Jesus and I know that the healing power of God is as real an experience today as during the lives of the apostles. I believe the acts of the Holy Spirit stil occur today wherever the kingdom of God is being preached and the people believe.

“When Jesus had called the Twelve together, he gave them power and authority to drive out al demons and to cure diseases, and he sent them out to preach the kingdom of God and to heal the sick” (Luke 9:1–2).

Finally, there is a group of people who believe that God stil heals today, but they do not believe that God wants to heal them or use them to minister healing to others. They believe this for any number of reasons, none of which are true. The truth is, God is wil ing to heal anyone who believes, as Jesus showed in Matthew: “Jesus reached out his hand and touched the man. ‘I am wil ing,’ he said. ‘Be clean!’

Immediately he was cured of his leprosy” (Matthew 8:3).

Sin causes sickness but Jesus came to heal, and He stil heals today. Jesus wil not only heal you, He wil also use you to minister healing to others by faith.

CHAPTER 2

THE CALL ON YOUR LIFE

In the next few chapters of this book, you wil see terms like call, calling, vision, or gifting. The cal or cal ing on your life refers to the purposes and destiny that God placed within you when you were born. Your calling exists in both the past and present tenses and wil be referred to in that manner. Your call is alive and makes up part of your identity whether you are currently fulfil ing it or whether it is stil hidden within your heart.

Your vision, as referred to in this book, is the present and future tense fulfil ment of the call on your life. It is the potential that wil happen when your calling becomes reality. It is also God-given and thus carries His life in it.

And finally your giftings are your God-given abilities, both natural and supernatural through Jesus to fulfil the vision He has given you.

These gifts exist in the past, present, and future tense and wil grow in both strength and number to ensure the fulfil ment of your vision. Before you begin to minister healing to others through the prayers in this book, it is important to remember that God wants us to know the hope of His calling (Ephesians 1:18). God has a purpose for each believer’s life. The passion you feel for ministry was put within you by God. I believe that you are reading this book now to help fulfil God’s cal on your life. You may not answer God’s call through ful time ministry in a Christian organization, but God has given you a ministry (2

Corinthians 5:18).

So my question to you is, “Do you know the call that God has given you?” You should be able to answer the question, “What is God’s purpose for your life?” without doubt or hesitation.

Think about your purpose, about what God has called you to accomplish, and about His plan for your life. Unless that purpose is alive in your heart and becomes the central motivation of your daily walk, how can you be sure you are accomplishing God’s wil ?

If you are unaware of your calling and purpose, you may be in danger of picking up the cal ing of someone else. Consider these questions: Have you ever envied someone else’s calling?

Do you want what someone else has?

I meet people everywhere who are seeking the calling of others and have missed their own. I have actually met people who want to be a Frances Hunter. They try to do everything just like she did because they want to have her calling.

I have friends who have attempted to mimic the mannerisms of Christian leaders right down to their hand motions. Some have gone so far as to copy Bil y Graham’s North Carolina accent, the way he holds his Bible, and many of his phrases.

God’s plan, however, was to make each of us unique members of the same body of Christ (1 Corinthians 12:12–14; Ephesians 4:16). He does not tel us to conform to each other, but rather to be conformed to the image of His Son (Romans 8:29). We are not to have the mind of Frances Hunter or Bil y Graham.

We are to have the mind of Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 2:16).

Be who God intended you to be and do what God made you to do (1 Corinthians 12:4–12; Romans 12:3–8). Don’t become a living Xeroxed copy of someone else’s calling. Wouldn’t it be sad to get to heaven and discover you spent your life doing something other than what God had cal ed you to do? It is possible.

There is a man who had such an experience and his story is life changing.

While this man was in law school, the Lord cal ed him and his new bride to be missionaries in Africa. They said, “Yes, Lord, we’l go!” and began raising the necessary funds. Just as they were ready to leave for the mission field, they discovered she was pregnant. Knowing that the area to which they were called was a remote jungle, friends and family advised them to have the baby in the United States before moving to Africa.

They delayed their departure. Their blessing from God, a son, needed six months of medical care after his birth. Since the medical expenses used up their savings, the man accepted a job in a law firm in order to pay the bil s. During his career as a very successful Christian businessman, he led many people to a relationship with the Lord wherever he went. When he received the baptism of the Holy Spirit, he became on fire for God! As one of the leaders in Florida’s Ful Gospel Businessmen, he led thousands of people to the Lord, went on many missions trips, funded and planted many churches, and raised all of his sons into ministry. In addition to all of that, each year he sent tens of thousands of dol ars to missionaries in Africa, because that area was always on his heart.

After he retired, he was rocking on the porch of his large home overlooking the river, thanking the Lord for His blessings and for the great things God had done through him. Suddenly, God interrupted his train of thought. Clearly the voice of the Lord said, “I never cal ed you to do any of this. I cal ed you to be a missionary in Africa. No one would have known you, but you would have done what I called you to do. If you had obeyed me, it would not have been the same.

Your son would not have become il and you would not have gone through these trials. I called you to be a missionary in Africa.”

This man had always known that something was missing in his life and at that moment, he realized exactly what it was. It so profoundly touched him that wherever he goes, he tel s everyone who wil listen:

“Answer the call that God places on your life.”

Yes, God does have a specific purpose and plan for your life.

He wants you to fulfil what He called you to do. When you hear, “Wel done, good and faithful servant” (Matthew 25:21), it wil be because you accomplished what God wanted you to, not because you did what you thought or hoped He wanted you to do.

God’s purpose for your life is for you alone and nobody else on earth can accomplish it in the way that you can. God made each of us for a specific purpose. “For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do” (Ephesians 2:10).

If God cal s you to something that you don’t feel you have the ability to accomplish, don’t let that keep you from answering His cal . For example, if you had to choose between Peter and Paul as the apostle to the Jews and the Gentiles, which would you pick?

Wouldn’t it have made more sense to send Paul to the Jews?

He was a Hebrew of Hebrews and an educated Pharisee who could talk with them intel igently. In the same respect, wouldn’t it make more sense to send Peter, the uneducated fisherman, to the Gentiles?

But God is not limited to man’s wisdom (James 3:14–18; 1

Corinthians 2:4). God sent Paul to the Gentiles and Peter to the Jews.

God called Peter and Paul according to His purpose and His plan, so that they would accomplish the tasks set before them by His power and by His grace alone.

You can help identify the true cal on your life by looking at the goals you have set in your heart. If your goals are to promote yourself, make money, have a place of leadership, arrive at a level of notoriety, or gain importance and prestige before men, then those goals are not from God (Acts 8:9–24).

Goals that flow out of a selfish, self-centered mind-set can’t be aligned with the eternal purposes of God. Your goals should be designed for the benefit of others. God-given goals wil focus on the eternal destiny of souls and the complete fulfil ment of God’s purposes in the lives of others.

Ministry goals wil not be about you if they come from God.

Jesus was offered the whole world and turned it down. He was offered a high position and refused it (Matthew 4:1–11). He came for people.

He specifically came for those who were lost, hurting, and in need.

Our Lord Jesus emptied Himself and took on the form of a bondservant (Philippians 2:7 NKJV).

If God put the desire in your heart to reach people and change lives, you wil find yourself fol owing Jesus’ example of sacrificial service (John 13:14; Matthew 19:16–22). If your calling is truly humble in appearance and doesn’t exalt you, it may very wel be from God (Matthew 7:13–14).

I have had the privilege to sit across the table from many successful Christian leaders who have told me to consistently choose the road that is the most selfless. If you take the road that seems most likely to promote your own interests, you wil find it leads to places other than where God intended you to go. You wil be going around the mountain one more time to find God’s wil for your life.

There is a way to avoid this trip. Die!

The price to be paid to avoid these mistakes in direction is the death of “self.” To walk in the ful ness of the anointing, which is the empowerment of your cal ing, your natural “fleshly” man must go to the cross and die. The resurrection power of God cannot continually flow through uncrucified flesh (Philippians 3:9–11).

I often meet people who are ready for every part of ministry except death to self. They believe they have already died. They do not ful y understand what it means to live for God rather than for self (Galatians 2:19–20). Simply put, it means that your “self” does not live anymore. “For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice” (James 3:16).

If you live each day by your own selfish wil and natural desires, you wil bring disorder and evil works with you wherever you go.

You may say, “But I’m anointed, I’m powerful. I lay hands on the sick and they recover. I prophesy. I cast out demons.”

“Many wil say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles? Then I wil tel them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’” (Mathew 7:22–23).

Are your motives for yourself or for His sheep? When Jesus appeared to Peter after His resurrection, He told Peter to feed and take care of His sheep (John 21:15-17). He wanted him to understand that whatever he did for His sheep, it was as if he did it for Him. It is true for us also. When we minister to His sheep, we are ministering to Him (Matthew 25:40).

If you are unsure of the call on your life, seek God for it. God did not make you and then leave you without direction and purpose. He has placed your calling within your heart when He formed you and placed you in your mother’s womb (Psalms 139:13–16). He had a purpose for your life from the beginning.

Even the hairs on your head are numbered, and God has a wonderful plan for your future (Luke 12:7; Jeremiah 29:11). Al you have to do is ask God to reveal to you what He has already placed in your heart. If you are unsure, ask Him now!

Our own desires and plans, which tend to capture our attention and affection, often compete with His plan and purpose for our lives.

Your heart may need to be circumcised from fleshly plans before you can truly see God’s plan for your life. The only thing keeping you from doing what He cal ed you to do is your “self.” As you die to yourself and live for others, His plan for you wil unfold rapidly. You wil know in your spirit that you are on the right course and your life wil take on a different motivation and value. Many of the desires in your heart for service to others wil line up with God’s purposes; and contentment wil begin to fil your soul.

A Christian attorney in South Carolina was elected to the state House of Representatives. She was a conservative female candidate in a region where no conservative or woman had ever been elected in the history of the district. Her desire was to become a state judge. After a fair amount of politicking in the state’s political circles, she became a judge. She won her race.

Because of her conservative views, she was given many high profile cases. She had to judge criminal cases where the death penalty was sometimes involved. She suddenly found that she had to make life and death rulings.

Unaware she was wrestling with the burdens of her position, her brother awoke in the middle of the night with an urgency to call her.

He told her that the Lord had put something on his heart that he needed to share with her. He said, “It was the Lord’s plan for you to be a judge. He is the one who opened the doors for you to have that position. He is the one who put the desire in your heart to be a judge, because He wanted a righteous judge that would ask Him what to do before dropping the gavel.”

She started to cry as she said, “That’s what I do. I was worried that it may have been out of my own desires that I became a judge and now people’s lives are in my hands.” This message was a confirmation that God had indeed called her to be a judge.

God gives you the desires of your heart because it is He who places those desires in your heart to start with.

CHAPTER 3

YOUR GIFTS AND HIS SUPPLY

Most believers are familiar with the Scripture that says, “For God’s gifts and his cal are irrevocable” (Romans 11:29). Do you know what that means? If you believe it has to do with your spiritual gifts and God’s call on your life, you have been taught improperly by people who have taken this Scripture out of context. This Scripture has nothing to do with the spiritual gifts or the call of God on your life. One of the most dangerous things that you can do with Scripture is to separate the writings of Paul from the teachings of Jesus. This separation can tear the Word of God apart. The belief that this passage is about your gifts and calling is contrary to Jesus’

parable of the talents.

This is the story of the Master who gave talents to his workers.

Two of them took what was given to them and produced more, but one buried his talent and didn’t do anything with it.

In this parable the workers who produced more were given more, but the one who did nothing with his talent had it taken away from him (Matthew 25:14–30). This teaching of Jesus lines up with what I know about life.

I have seen through life experiences that people who have been given gifts and callings and don’t use them, lose them.

Take the time to read all of Romans 11 and you wil see that this chapter is about salvation and the limited time that the Gentiles have for repentance.

Romans 11:29 could read, “For God’s gifts of salvation and His call for repentance to the Jews are irrevocable.”

Do not deceive yourself by believing that you can choose to ignore God’s cal on your life and His spiritual gifts to you indefinitely before you act on them. The truth is, if you do not use them, you can lose them. “From everyone who has been given much, much wil be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more wil be asked”

(Luke 12:48). If you have a cal from God, don’t wait to act on it unless He tel s you to wait. You might be burying the talents God has given you to accomplish His plans.

With that understanding, consider what the Bible says, “My God wil meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:19). If He is going to supply all your needs according to His riches in Christ Jesus, just what does that mean to you?

During the first Gulf War President Bush sent General Schwarzkopf overseas to free Kuwait from the invading Iraqis.

President Bush told him, “Anything you need, just let me know.”

Schwarzkopf could have called the President back and said, “You know, I would like a condo in Vail and I’ve always wanted to own a red Corvette. Two tickets to Disney World would also be nice so my family and I can spend some quality time together when this is al over.”

President Bush would have responded, “What in the world are you talking about? Didn’t you understand that I was referring to anything you needed to get the job done that I sent you to do? All you have to do is just ask me, and I wil make sure you have it.”

You wil not be able to get to heaven and say, “Oh God! If You had just given me $10,000,000, I would have been able to do so much more for You. Or, if You had just given me this or that, I would have accomplished so much more.”

You already have what you need to accomplish the task He has called you to do, or He wil supply it as you request it. If you don’t have what you need to complete the task, then either you are not doing what God sent you to do, you have not asked Him for His help, or it is not His timing.

It is, however, not uncommon for a person to have to live outside their own abilities or comfort zone before His supply becomes a reality. No matter what your circumstances are like, do not limit God to your own abilities or by your own thinking.

Ephesians 3:20 says, “Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us.”

When God establishes a vision, His provision wil always be there to accomplish what He has planned. He can and wil supply al that you need to fulfil the call on your life.

CHAPTER 4

VISION AND THE

MOTIVATIONS OF THE HEART

When a long distance runner runs a race, he knows his goal is to cross the finish line. He knows the finish line is there when he starts the race. He also knows it is there while he is running the race, but he can’t see it because it is many miles away. The finish line is always in his sight even though it is not immediately visible.

This may best describe God’s vision for your life. Your vision is the present and future tense fulfil ment of God’s call on your life.

True visions are God-inspired and are ful of His life. They come to pass through our spoken words and subsequent actions. These visions are essential to our very existence.

“Where there is no vision, the people perish” (Proverbs 29:18

KJV).

Through life experiences, I have found sharing a God-given vision is an important way to ensure the cal ing is fulfil ed. It is His purpose and plan for you to share your vision with others (Habakkuk 2:2). If you are married, God wil give you a vision that He wants you to share with your spouse.

There was a pastor in Africa who was called to be a missionary in the United States. He told his wife over and over that God had called him to be a missionary and establish a ministry in the USA. For months his wife repeatedly said, “No, no, no! I don’t feel that we are called to go there.” However, he kept sharing the vision with her until one day she said, “I know we are supposed to go to the U.S.!” She began to repeat the vision back to him because it was now alive in her heart also.

Share the vision that God has given you with others. If it is from God, it wil stand. If it is not from God, it wil not stand.

But share your vision.

By now you should be aware of the call of God on your life or be seeking Him for the vision if you don’t already have one. At this point, I must ask you to examine your heart and ask yourself these questions. What real y drives you? What is in your heart of hearts?

Do you understand the implications of this question? If God gave you a heart for souls and you are waiting to col ect enough money to go overseas, but you don’t have enough compassion to go across the street to minister to the lost, is your drive really for souls or is it for a mission overseas?

Here is a different way of expressing the same concept. If you cannot go to your local grocery store and use the gift God has given you, what qualifies you to use it in the church? If it is not in your heart to touch people and see them healed in your local neighborhood, why should God open the door to greater opportunities?

Before you minister to others, it is essential that your heart’s motivation be right before God. The Bible states in many places that when Jesus saw the crowds, He had compassion on them because they were like sheep without a shepherd (Matthew 9:36, 14:14, 20:34; Mark 1:41, Luke 7:13). Compassion is a driving force to ministry and is often misunderstood to be a soft mushy “sympathy” as described in Webster’s Dictionary.

However, true compassion is an intense combination of both love and hate. Jesus had that kind of compassion. He loved the people with an uncompromised love and at the same time He hated the condition in which they were trapped. The word compassion in the Greek actually means to be stirred so strongly inside that your bowels are moved. The combination of great love and hatred creates an intense inner stirring. One empowers your spirit and the other motivates your soul into action.

It is important to understand the components of compassion and why we should be motivated in the same manner as our Lord. I don’t feel that it is necessary to explain the nature of hate or what it feels like because everyone has experienced it.

However, I have found that many have misunderstandings about the nature of love.

Some people have a misconception that the love that is in their heart is from themselves and that they have the ability to produce more. But this is not a reality. The truth is that the love we have did not come from us, it came from God. It was in the beginning, and it wil be in the end. God is, so love is.

“God is love” (1 John 4:16).

Paul’s prayer to the Ephesians was: “I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love [by experience] that surpasses knowledge— that you may be fil ed to the measure of all the ful ness of God” (Ephesians 3:17–19).

I believe it wil take an eternity for me to ful y comprehend all that love encompasses. Each day of my life, I gain a greater understanding of who God is; and as I do, I wil experience His love with more intensity and purity.

This passage of Scripture is all about love: If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.

If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing. Love is patient, love is kind.

It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.

Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails.(1 Corinthians 13:1–8) If you do not have this passage memorized, I suggest you do so now. Read it until you can quote it anywhere at anytime.

You can read it and know all the words. However, when these words become a revelation within your heart, they wil change your life.

Unfortunately, it is possible to do all the amazing things in 1

Corinthians 13:1–3 without a motivation of love. Apparently, this is what has happened to some members of the church.

Some parts of the modern church have drifted away from the lifestyle of love as it was exhibited by the early church. The first act of the New Testament church was to sel al of their excess property and give the proceeds to the poor.

When hurricane Ivan came through Florida, it destroyed some churches and tore the roofs off many others west of Tallahassee.

Several churches located east of Tallahassee gave their building funds to the congregations of the damaged churches when they heard the church insurance policies would not cover the cost of the repairs.

These churches were not concerned about denominational lines or doctrinal differences. They wanted to reach out to mend hearts and aid churches that were in need. They gave up the building funds they had accumulated over several years so others could have a building in which to worship God.

The Bible says that the world would know that we are Christians because of our love (John 13:35). Most people in the United States know enough about God’s Word to be saved.

However, they also know some questionable Christians and do not want to be like them.

There are many things I could say about this subject but if you get nothing else out of this chapter, please remember this: love never fails. Love never fails. Love never fails (1 Corinthians 13:8).

When you do minister to someone and you have done nothing but love them, then….Love never fails. You may pray for someone who is not instantly healed. Remember that love never fails. God’s cal on your life wil always be driven by a spirit of compassion. Love them and believe that love never fails. God is love. God never fails. Love never fails.

“And now these three remain faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love” (1 Corinthians 13:13).

CHAPTER 5

IT’S ALL ABOUT RELATIONSHIPS

Jesus came that we might have life and have it more abundantly (John 10:10 NKJV).

Life is not about places or things; it is about our relationship and service to God as wel as our relationships and service to His people.

To confirm this fact in your life, assume you knew you were going home to be with the Lord at midnight tonight. What would you do differently between now and then? More than likely, places and things would lose their value and you would spend your remaining time with those people who mean the most to you.

When we become alienated in our relationships, our lives reflect the strain and our hearts can harden. This alienation can infiltrate slowly, but surely, into every area of our lives including our family, friends, church, and work, as wel as our relationship with God. It is quite obvious that the most important relationship we have is with our Father.

In my travels I am quite surprised to see so many believers who have lost their intimacy with God. I am equal y surprised to see so many believers in the church who have never known this intimacy at al . It is defined by a “love that surpasses knowledge” (Ephesians 3:19).

Christians who don’t have an understanding of intimacy with God are frequently reading Christian books and going to Christian conferences searching for what is missing in their lives. There is nothing wrong with Christian books or conferences; but if you feel like there is something missing in your walk with God, maybe what you need is an alignment to His heart and His unconditional love.

Then the Christian books and conferences wil add to your walk instead of trying to replace what you feel is missing.

There are many reasons why we separate ourselves from God.

Sin, unbelief, and disobedience are the most common reasons, and they are easily rectified by repentance, so I wil not go into detail about them at this time. There is another reason that is less talked about, but seems to be very common. It is a separation through time by slowly hardening your heart toward God because He did not perform as you would have if you were God. You have been hurt or even angry with God so you hold unwritten things against Him while waiting for Him to correct them.

This may be best explained using the marriage relationship. It is not uncommon to minister to men and women who do not have the love for their spouses they once had. Over time a spouse did things wrong or did not meet expectations. Small hurts slowly added up.

Eventually, hearts hardened and they no longer feel the love that was once the cornerstone of their marriage. The intimacy is gone.

Our response to these people is always the same. What could your spouse do to win back your love? I get many responses from “I am not quite sure,” to a list of things that would fil a ream of paper. To this my response is always the same.

Release your spouse of their debt!

The spouse most likely does not deserve to be released and has not done enough to win you back, but simply release them from what you are holding against them. Lay down the conditions that you have set in your heart for your spouse to meet. Lay them on the altar of God and simply love your spouse. Then make the declaration to give 100 percent of your heart back to your spouse. You do it just like this: PRAYER TO RELEASE SPOUSE

“I wil ingly lay down al the conditions that I am expecting my spouse to meet on the altar of God. I (your ful Christian name) choose to give 100 percent of my heart to (your spouse’s ful Christian name) from this day forth.”

I have watched many people do this very thing and the love they once had for their mates fil ed their hearts again. It is so interesting to hear the testimonies of the amazing changes that took place in their relationships when they got home.

Unconditional love is what God has called you to. If you have anything other than unconditional love, then you are in contradiction to who He is and who He made you to be.

Many Christians do the same thing to God that they did in their relationships even though they know in their heart they don’t have the right to hold anything against God. Yet many times we stil do.

We prayed and He did not answer our prayers the way we wanted or someone we loved died and we didn’t understand why.

There are many reasons why we separate ourselves from God.

However He wil never separate Himself from us. “Never wil I leave you; never wil I forsake you” (Hebrews 13:5). Jesus came that we might be reconciled to God. “All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting men’s sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation” (2

Corinthians 5:18–19).

When you are ministering to others, you may need to lead them in this simple prayer of restoration. You may also need to say this same prayer. I have seen countless numbers of people say this prayer and a love for God fil ed their hearts again.

PRAYER FOR RESTORATION

“Father, I wil ingly lay down on Your Altar al the conditions that I was expecting You to meet. I (your ful Christian name) choose to give 100 percent of my heart to You from this day forth. I wil be Your servant and You wil be my God, in Jesus’

name.”

The other factors of sin, disobedience, and unbelief are easily corrected. For you to be healed, sin must be confessed and not hidden in your heart. God set a pattern for how often He is wil ing to forgive us our sins. “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and wil forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9).

“Then Peter came to Him and said, ‘Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Up to seven times?’

Jesus said to him, ‘I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven’” (Matthew 18:21–22 NKJV). In the Greek, this passage can be interpreted “not seven times but seventy-seven times for the same sin in the same day.” It is God’s nature to forgive us without measure.

However, there is a condition to forgiveness. God wil only forgive us with the measure that we forgive others. “For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father wil also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father wil not forgive your sins” (Matthew 6:14-15). If you hold any unforgiveness towards anyone, then you cannot be forgiven.

Jesus explained it like this: Therefore, the kingdom of heaven is like a king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants. As he began the settlement, a man who owed him ten thousand talents was brought to him. Since he was not able to pay, the master ordered that he and his wife and his children and all that he had be sold to repay the debt. The servant fel on his knees before him. “Be patient with me,” he begged, “and I wil pay back everything.” The servant’s master took pity on him, canceled the debt and let him go. But when that servant went out, he found one of his fel ow servants who owed him a hundred denari . He grabbed him and began to choke him. “Pay back what you owe me!” he demanded. His fel ow servant fel to his knees and begged him, “Be patient with me, and I wil pay you back.” But he refused.

Instead, he went off and had the man thrown into prison until he could pay the debt. When the other servants saw what had happened, they were greatly distressed and went and told their master everything that had happened. Then the master called the servant in. “You wicked servant,” he said, “I canceled all that debt of yours because you begged me to. Shouldn’t you have had mercy on your fel ow servant just as I had on you?” In anger his master turned him over to the jailers to be tortured, until he should pay back all he owed. This is how my heavenly Father wil treat each of you unless you forgive your brother from your heart. (Matthew 18:23–35) You have been forgiven everything, but if you can’t forgive others who have sinned against you, then you are acting contrary to God’s nature and wil be separated from God. This is the prayer to confess sins: PRAYER TO CONFESS SIN

“Father, I have sinned. I confess my sin(s) of (insert the sin(s) you committed). I repent and turn from this. Forgive me of this sin. I choose to forgive those who have sinned against me.

Father, I choose to forgive (name of person who sinned against you). What they did was sin. Take this sin from them and place it on the cross of Jesus and on the day of judgment I wil not hold this sin against them. Even now they are free.

Father, bless them.”

Unbelief is another form of sin that separates us from God.

The opposite of unbelief is faith. Each man on earth has been given a measure of faith according to the Word of God (Romans 12:3). You already have faith and you use it every day.

If you are sitting down while you are reading this, then you applied your faith. You had faith the chair would hold you when you sat down.

Faith pleases God. Faith is believing. The things of God are just that simple. “And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him” (Hebrews 11:6).

PRAYER TO CONFESS UNBELIEF

“Father, I have not applied the faith You have given me. I have allowed doubt and unbelief to enter in. I confess this as sin and choose to turn back to You. Forgive me for this sin, in Jesus’ name.”

Disobedience is another form of sin that also separates us from God. When God was calling Moses to lead the children of Israel out of Egypt, He allowed Moses to express his doubts and inabilities and He answered them al . However, when Moses said, “Send someone else,” “the Lord’s anger burned against Moses” (Exodus 4:14).

God put up with Moses’ doubt and inabilities but He would not allow disobedience. He does not allow it today. He wil correct you because He loves you. “The Lord disciplines those he loves” (Hebrews 12:6). Understand that if God has cal ed you to accomplish something, you must do it. To run from it wil separate you from God, and your life wil reflect the emptiness that is found in the children of disobedience.

There was a man at a church in Indiana who was in constant pain from a back injury caused by an auto accident twelve years before. He had received prayer many times with only limited results. After a few questions, I determined he was running from the call of God on his life. In fact, he had had the accident right after he told the Lord, “No.”

After being led in the prayer of repentance for disobedience, he was instantly healed.

PRAYER FOR DISOBEDIENCE

“Father, I have disobeyed Your Word and Your plan for my life.

I repent and turn back to serving You alone. Forgive me this sin and place it on the cross of Jesus Christ. I am Your servant from this day forth.”

Most believers know of the first and greatest commandment, but do you know the second? “Love the Lord your God with al your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself” (Matthew 22:37–39).

Jesus was not tel ing us that the second commandment was similar to the first, but was like it as seen from a different perspective. If you don’t love your neighbor as yourself, you are deceived when you say you love God. When Peter asked Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?” (Luke 10:29), Jesus responded with the story of the Good Samaritan (verses 30– 37).

John confirmed this when he said, “For anyone who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen. And he has given us this command: Whoever loves God must also love his brother” (1 John 4:20-21).

We are called to love everyone unconditionally. Jesus said, “If you love those who love you, what reward wil you get? Are not even the tax col ectors doing that?” (Matthew 5:46).

The tax col ectors would sit by the gates of the wall that surrounded Jerusalem. If taxes were not paid, the tax col ectors would not allow the person to enter the city to worship God or make offerings at the temple.

We sometimes hold debts that others owe us and we wil not let them past the walls of our heart unless that debt is paid.

Jesus told people who did that, they were no different than the tax col ectors.

If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even “sinners” love those who love them. And if you do good to those who are good to you, what credit is that to you? Even “sinners” do that. And if you lend to those from whom you expect repayment, what credit is that to you? Even “sinners”

lend to “sinners,” expecting to be repaid in ful . But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward wil be great, and you wil be sons of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked. Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful. Do not judge, and you wil not be judged. Do not condemn, and you wil not be condemned.

Forgive, and you wil be forgiven. Give, and it wil be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, wil be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it wil be measured to you. (Luke 6:32–38) God frees us from judgment and condemnation and He forgives us with the same measure we use towards others. If there is anyone in your life that you have been holding anything against, release them and be free. This is also true when you are praying for others. Lead them in repentance so that they may be free as wel .

Matthew 22:39 states, “Love your neighbor as yourself.” I am surprised at the number of Christians who don’t love themselves. Not only do some Christians not love themselves, but I have met people who actually hated themselves. This is definitely a contradiction to who you are and who you are called to be. Self-hatred wil eventually affect all relationships, including the one with your heavenly Father.

Whether it entered your life through sin, disobedience, or just believing lies about you, the fruit of hate is always the same.

DEVASTATION!

When you act contrary to who God made you to be, you wil not like the fruit of your labor and wil eventually not like yourself. If these ungodly actions continue over a period of time without repentance; you wil not only hate your actions, you wil hate yourself for continuing in them.

Your self-hatred may be brought on by your own sins.

However,in some cases, it could be brought on by the sins of others. For example, if you grew up in an ungodly household where there was yel ing, backbiting, condemnation, and constant criticism; as an adult you may exhibit many of these same characteristics. If you continue these same behaviors, you wil have a difficult time loving yourself.

Some people were abused as children. They may be able to forgive their abuser, but they often take on the false belief that they were the cause of the abuse. They believe that there was something wrong or different about them that caused them to feel responsible for what happened. I have even ministered to people in their late seventies who did not like themselves because they believed they were somehow responsible for the abuse they received sixty-five years before. Believing such a lie is very common among victims of abuse and wil keep people from loving themselves and wil make it difficult for them to give their heart ful y to others.

The answer to these problems is always the same. It is the cross of Jesus Christ. All healing takes place at the cross.

Whether it is because of sin, disobedience, ungodly habits, or believing a lie, the answer is always the same. The way to change from hating yourself to loving yourself is simply repentance. Repentance means change, to turn the other way.

It means you no longer act contrary to who you are in your heart; it means you take your previous actions to the cross.

PRAYER OF REPENTANCE

“Father, I have not acted in accordance to Your nature and I am upset with myself for these actions. They are sin. I repent and I wil no longer continue to act this way. Father, take this sin from me, place it on the cross of Jesus Christ, and separate it from me. Forgive me of this sin and forgive my fathers (ancestors) of this same sin as wel , in Jesus’ name.”

Some teach that you need to forgive yourself. This teaching is not found anywhere in the Bible. It is an “I” centered thinking that is contrary to the cross. It turns you inward to forgive yourself instead of turning you to the cross where you accept God’s forgiveness of your sins through Jesus Christ. Once you repent, you become free of these sins and don’t need to forgive yourself, as if you really could.

The Bible says to cast your cares upon Jesus “because He cares for you” (1 Peter 5:7). It is not uncommon to find people who are carrying the cares of their life and their circumstances on their own shoulders. This is a simple but effective prayer to free you from the burden of these things: PRAYER TO CAST CARES ON THE ALTAR

“Father, I am carrying the burdens of my relationships and circumstances. I choose to lay al my cares, al my worries, all my fears, all things I cannot change on Your altar. Father, I lay my spouse on Your altar. Father, I lay my children on Your altar. Father, I lay my job, my finances on Your altar. Father, I lay (name the circumstances that you cannot change) on Your altar. You are my supply and You alone can move in my circumstances. I give these to You and trust You with them, in Jesus’ name.”

I have countless testimonies of people whose heavy hearts became lighter or who felt the weight of the world leave their shoulders after repeating this prayer. I quite often use this prayer for people who have upper back or shoulder pain.

Finally, remember when you are ministering to people, you are called to a ministry of reconciliation, which is al about relationships.

CHAPTER 6

STEPS IN MINISTERING

When you minister to people, what should you do first? Fol ow Jesus’ example.

Step One: Ask the person what they want. The Bible says to “give to the one who asks you” (Matthew 5:42). Don’t start praying for the person before you talk with them. Ask them what they want.

The question isn’t, “What do you want me to do for you?” It is, “What do you need Jesus to do for you?” or “What are you expecting from God?”

Jesus had been ministering all day when a blind man cal ed out to Him. What did Jesus say? “What do you want me to do for you?”

(Mark 10:51). Why did Jesus ask him what he wanted? Wasn’t it obvious that a blind man would want his sight restored?

A.B. was a man in Florida who had been in the healing ministry for exactly one day. He had been praying for people and seeing them healed when a man came rol ing up in a wheelchair. His legs were atrophied. They were very thin and obviously very weak. It was obvious that he had not walked in a long time, if at al . A.B. was real y taken back and did not know how to pray for the crippled man.

A.B. was wil ing, but in the back of his mind he thought, “I’m going to pray for this guy, Lord, and if he does not get out of this wheelchair, one of us is going to be real y embarrassed and I am quite sure that person wil be me.”

Before A.B. could do anything, the man in the wheelchair asked, “Can you lead me into the baptism of the Holy Spirit?”

A.B. said, “Yes, I can do that.” If the man in the wheelchair hadn’t spoken up, A.B. would not have known what he wanted.

A.B. would have started praying for his crippled legs.

Step Two: Ask the person how long they have had the problem. A woman who had a bad back for over four years came to me for ministry. She had received prayer from many other people without being healed. When I asked what happened four years before, she explained that her husband had left her for his secretary. She was stil very hurt and bitter about it. She was led in a prayer of forgiveness; she put her hurt feelings on the cross and she was healed instantly. In the book of Mark, “Jesus asked the boy’s father, ‘How long has he been like this?’” (Mark 9:21).

Step Three: Look. You asked them what they wanted, but now you need to look them in the eyes. It is really that simple.

“The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are good, your whole body wil be ful of light. But if your eyes are bad, your whole body wil be ful of darkness” (Matthew 6:22–23).

Always look the person in the eye and be sure they look back at you. Peter and John did this. “Peter looked straight at him, as did John. Then Peter said, ‘Look at us!’ So the man gave them his attention, expecting to get something from them”

(Acts 3:4–5). If the person you are ministering to closes their eyes, tel them to open them. If they turn their head away from you or wil not look you in the eye, they might be afraid.

If you see fear, step back until they relax. Some people become uncomfortable if you stand closer than an arm’s length away, as if that space is a “trust zone” which you have trespassed or “trust passed.”

Also, be sure you are not standing between the person and an aisle or a door, their way out. Whether you are ministering to a man or a woman, if you stil see fear, try getting down on one or both knees to minister. In this position you should no longer be a threat.

If you do not detect fear, but the person stil wil not look you in the eye, it may be that they have unconfessed sin. They may be in a dispute with the Lord or with His representatives (pastors, lay ministers, etc.) and may be holding judgments in their heart against them. “Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective” (James 5:16).

If they do not repent of the sin or release the judgment against the other person, what wil happen while you are ministering to them?

Most likely nothing, unless they repent! Help bring them to repentance. Remember, never break trust with someone who confesses sin. If you do, you can cause them great pain and can bring judgment upon yourself.

Also look for outward signs of internal conditions. People communicate with body language as wel as with their words.

Are their arms crossed in front of them? Are they overly nervous or lethargic? Are there any other outward signs? Pray for whatever they request; but as a responsible representative of Jesus Christ, stay alert to other possible problems also (Matthew 24:42–43).

Step Four: Listen. When you ask the person what they want, listen careful y to what they are saying. Many times, the first words that come out of a person’s mouth wil tel you the root problem. But also listen for complaints, gripes, or words that reveal negative attitudes against someone. For instance, listen for signs of unforgiveness, judgments, and bitterness (unfulfil ed revenge).

“See to it that no one misses the grace of God and that no bitter root grows up to cause trouble and defile many”

(Hebrew 12:15).

However, do not let them go into detail about their situation.

It can weigh you down and may take you off track or in a direction that wil not lead to healing.

You may find that many of the problems, which they claim were caused by other people, are the very problems that now live within themselves. This is especially true when they are in judgment of others. The only way anyone can set themselves up as a judge of someone else is to be in authority over them.

People tend to become angry and lose patience with others when a similar sin exists within themselves. Otherwise, they would have compassion on another and hurt for them instead of judging them. When the Jewish men were about to stone a woman caught in adultery, Jesus said, “If any one of you is without sin, let him be the first to throw a stone at her” (John 8:7).

This does not mean that judgment of another person was inaccurate; but if the conclusion caused any emotion other than compassion, there may be things that need to be crucified such as anger, bitterness, unforgiveness, selfishness, or other sins. These things need to be handled, often before ministering healing for a disease process.

Listen for what they are truly seeking. Is there something that they are not saying? Many men have no idea what they are feeling at the time, much less how to communicate it.

There was a man whose wife had committed adultery and he was looking for help. He truly did not know what he wanted.

He was ful of anger. He did not understand the hurt and mixture of emotions that he was experiencing. He just wanted to get rid of the pain. He had already seen an attorney and had filed for divorce. That was not what he wanted because he really loved the woman. He just wanted the hurt to go away.

He wanted somebody to help him through the pain so he could get back to a place of peace.

Three hours after receiving ministry, he had his wife under his arm and said to her, “I love you, and we wil get through this together. No one wil dishonor you while I am your husband.

We wil get through this.”

Step Five: Relax. You and the person you are ministering to need to relax. Whether it is the first time you have prayed for someone or the thousandth time, you need to be relaxed. Take a deep breath. You cannot make it happen in your own power.

If you aren’t at peace, it wil be hard to minister peace to someone else.

There are several things you can do to help people relax before they receive ministry. Tel them to: “Take a deep breath and relax” or “Relax like you are in your easy chair at home.” If they tel you that they have a serious disease or il ness like breast cancer, you should always say, “That is easy.” You wil be amazed at how often people relax after they hear those three simple words.

Some Christians wil start speaking in tongues, raising their hands, singing or praising God while you try to minister to them. Stop them and instruct them to put their hands down at their sides. This is not the time for them to pray or thank God.

They wil thank Him later.

Some people believe that by doing all of these things, they wil somehow motivate God to act on their behalf while others have been taught that this is the “spiritual” thing to do.

I am not saying you should not raise your hands in church or praise and worship God. However, when someone is receiving prayer, I have found much better results when the person gets out of God’s way and allows Him to work. After they have received ministry, encourage them to thank Jesus and to praise God for their healing. God wants to heal everyone.

People need to relax and receive His touch.

Step Six: Wait on the Lord. When you wait on the Holy Spirit, three minutes can seem like a long time and five minutes may feel like forever. This is when most Christians in the healing ministry miss God. They take it on themselves to do all they can think of to do rather than wait on the leading of the Holy Spirit.

There have been occasions when I have waited on the Holy Spirit for what seemed like a very long time. He may not always show up immediately, but He always shows up.

Sometimes I don’t know what I am waiting for Him to do, but I know that the Lord wil accomplish His wil when I wait on Him.

If you are praying for people in a church service, you probably cannot wait fifteen to twenty minutes, but you can arrange to meet with them later when you have more time. You should take all the time they need. Don’t try to rush God or the person receiving ministry.

I believe the person I am praying for is the most important person in my life during that time of ministry. If there is one person or a hundred more people waiting for prayer, I give the person in front of me my time and ful attention as the Spirit directs.

Final Step: Don’t quit. If you pray for people who don’t get instantly healed, don’t quit. Jesus prayed more than once for people.

He prayed twice for a blind man before he was totally healed (Mark 8:22–25). So don’t quit. If someone does not get healed the first time you pray for them, pray again. Keep praying and asking God what to do next. And remember, God’s timing is perfect.

You should be familiar with the story in Acts: One day Peter and John were going up to the temple at the time of prayer—at three in the afternoon. Now a man crippled from birth was being carried to the temple gate called Beautiful, where he was put every day to beg from those going into the temple courts. When he saw Peter and John about to enter, he asked them for money. Peter looked straight at him, as did John. Then Peter said, “Look at us!” So the man gave them his attention, expecting to get something from them.

Then Peter said, “Silver or gold I do not have, but what I have I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk.”

Taking him by the right hand, he helped him up, and instantly the man’s feet and ankles became strong. He jumped to his feet and began to walk. Then he went with them into the temple courts, walking and jumping, and praising God. When all the people saw him walking and praising God, they recognized him as the same man who used to sit begging at the temple gate called Beautiful, and they were fil ed with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him.(Acts 3:1–10)

Peter and John met this man when they were going into the temple courts. Did Jesus ever go into the temple courts? The four Gospels record that He went quite often. Verse 2 says, “Now a man crippled from birth was being carried to the gate Beautiful, where he was put every day.” If he sat begging at the temple gate every day, why didn’t Jesus heal him? If Jesus walked by this man before, why didn’t He heal him?

There is timing and purpose for everything in God. “There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven” (Ecclesiastes 3:1), including “a time to heal” (verse 3).

That particular day was God’s chosen day for a miracle. Peter and John were there, and they fol owed God’s plan. The crippled man was healed, and many came to the Lord because of his testimony.

There is a perfect time for each healing and that timing wil always bring glory to God.

This is all very simple. It is easy. These are basic steps that you need to practice when ministering healing to people. Don’t be afraid to use the common sense and good judgment the Lord gave you, but always be led by the Holy Spirit and remember that “love never fails.”

CHAPTER 7

THE PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS

OF PRAYER

In the chapter, “How to Pray for Various Conditions,” you wil see many references to the practical things you should do when praying for others. This chapter wil explain these things.

GROWING OUT LEGS

Chiropractors can often tel if a person has a back problem by measuring their legs. He asks the person to sit in a chair with their back firmly against the back of the chair. The chiropractor stands in front of the person holding their legs up with his thumbs on the sides of the anklebones and his hands over the top of the feet. Any difference in the leg length wil be obvious by the displacement of his thumbs. They wil not be adjacent to one another, indicating that one leg appears to be longer than the other.

I have yet to meet anyone with a serious back problem who had legs that measured the same length. This does not mean that the length of one leg is actually shorter than the other.

(This only happens if there is bone loss from injury or a birth defect that left one leg shorter than the other. People with this condition wil often be wearing a lift in their shoe to compensate for the short leg.) However, this does mean that the back is out of alignment. The spine, pelvis, muscles, tendons, or ligaments have moved to compensate for the problem, causing one leg to extend a shorter distance than the other.

One leg appears to be shorter than the other.

I check the lengths of the legs in the same manner as a chiropractor.

Fol owing this example with your hands over their ankles and your thumbs on their ankle bones, command the back to line up.

PRAYER TO ADJUST THE LEGS

“I command the brain stem and the spinal column to be in perfect alignment. I command the muscles, tendons, and ligaments to go back to their normal length and strength. I speak in new discs and vertebrae (when necessary). I command the pain to go and the legs to return to their normal position in Jesus’ name.”

Under no circumstances do you ever pul on the legs. Pray and wait until the ankles line up by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Usual y the legs wil adjust quickly, but occasionally it may take several minutes.

Are there other ways to heal backs besides “growing out” legs?

My answer is absolutely, “Yes.” However, when you minister this way, you wil see the power of God at work and so wil the person for whom you are praying. Tel the person you are praying for, as wel as anyone else watching nearby, to keep their eyes open and watch what God is doing. They don’t want to miss their miracle.

Ministering healing this way for over thirty years, I have seen countless numbers of backs successful y healed by “growing out” legs.

PELVIS ADJUSTMENT

The pelvis is the foundation of the spine. If the back is out of alignment, the pelvis shifts in an attempt to keep the body as upright as possible. When the pelvis is out of alignment, it can cause numerous problems ranging from duck feet to PMS. To minister healing to an individual, simply place your hands loosely on the top of their hipbones. If you are ministering to someone of the opposite sex, instruct them to place their hands on their hipbones and then place your hands loosely over theirs. Repeat the prayer and then wait as the Holy Spirit does the adjustment. You may need to allow a few minutes for the adjustment to occur.

PRAYER TO ADJUST THE PELVIS

“I command the pelvis to rotate into its normal position. I command all the organs to go back into place and muscles, tendons, and ligaments to go back to their normal length and strength in Jesus’ name.”

Do not move the pelvis yourself. Wait on the Holy Spirit. What happens next is often astounding. The pelvis wil often rotate back and forth and the people wil many times feel their ligaments, organs, or pelvis move. When praying for a woman’s PMS symptoms, command the ligaments to lengthen and the pelvis to open to alleviate pressure. For a quick and easy birth, command the pelvis to open for an easy delivery. If they have duck feet, command the pelvis to close.

If they are pigeon-toed, command the pelvis to open.

MIDDLE BACK ADJUSTMENT

Through experience, I have found that many ailments caused by a curvature of the spine or pain in the region of the upper chest or back can be healed by commanding the ribs to rotate back into their normal position. I use this prayer when ministering healing to people with scoliosis and have seen many healed. Place your hand on the back of the spine in the center of the back and repeat this prayer: PRAYER FOR ADJUSTMENT

OF THE MIDDLE BACK

“In the name of Jesus, I command the ribs to rotate and go back into place. I command the vertebrae and discs in the spine to line up.

And I command al muscles, ligaments, and tendons to go back to their normal length and strength in Jesus’ name.”

GROWING OUT ARMS

Chiropractors can often detect an upper back problem by measuring the length of the person’s arms. With the individual standing, feet pointing forward, toes even, and arms extended straight forward to their ful y outstretched length, the doctor instructs them to keep the hands about one quarter of an inch apart. When the arms are extended ful y, the doctor tel s the client to put their hands together, bend their elbows and look at the tips of their fingers. If the upper back is out of alignment, the position of the hands wil not match.

It is not uncommon for someone with an upper back problem to have their arms appear to be different lengths. Unless there was a birth defect or bone loss at some time in their lives, the arms are not actually different lengths. Bones are positioned by ligaments, tendons, and muscles. Changes in their control affect the positioning and action of skeletal structures, our bones, including our arms, legs, back, pelvis, and neck.

I minister to people with upper back problems in the same way.

Instruct the person to stand with their feet forward and stretch out their arms as far as they can with their hands facing each other about one quarter inch apart. Instruct them to put their hands together, bend their elbows, and look at the difference in their arm length. Instruct them to keep their eyes open to watch what God is going to do, to stretch out their arms again about one quarter inch apart, place your hand on the center of their upper back and repeat this prayer: PRAYER TO ADJUST ARM LENGTH

“In the name of Jesus I command the upper back to go back into place and the brain stem to line up with the spinal column. I command the muscles, tendons, and ligaments to go back to their normal length and strength. I speak in a new disc and vertebra (if necessary). I also command the arms to grow and the pain to go in Jesus’ name.”

Under no circumstances do you ever push on the back or pul the arms. Pray and wait until the length of the arms line up by the power of the Holy Spirit. Usually, they wil adjust quickly but occasionally the process may take several minutes.

Are there other ways to heal upper backs besides growing out arms? My answer is absolutely, “Yes.” However, when you minister this way, you can watch the power of God at work. As long as the person that you are praying for keeps their eyes open, they wil see as wel as feel what God is doing. Anyone nearby can also see the changes as they occur. During the thirty years I have been ministering healing by growing out arms, I have seen countless upper back problems healed.

ADJUSTING THE NECK

If the head or the neck is out of alignment, the muscles of the neck wil tighten to compensate for the problem. This can be the cause of many problems from headaches to back spasms and even numbness in the extremities. Injuries caused by falls or whiplash can do major damage to the discs, vertebrae, muscles, tendons, and ligaments in the neck and upper back.

To minister healing, stand in front of the person, place one hand on each side of the neck with your fingertips on the back of the neck directly over the spine and repeat the fol owing prayer.

PRAYER TO ADJUST THE NECK AND SPINE

“In the name Jesus, I command the brain stem and the spinal column to come back into alignment. I command al the muscles, tendons, and ligaments to return to their normal length and strength. I speak in new discs and vertebrae (if necessary). I command the pain to go and the neck to go back into alignment in the name of Jesus.”

Do not lift on the neck or turn it in any direction. After you have ministered, instruct them to turn their head and do something they could not comfortably do before.

PRACTICAL THINGS TO REMEMBER

1. You are ministering all healing in the name of Jesus. Always use His name with each command such as “I command (type of healing) in the name of Jesus.”

2. After praying for someone, tel them to say, “Thank You, Jesus.” Always thank Him first.

3. Next, have them put their faith into action. Instruct them to do something that they could not do before (especially if they had restricted movement).

4. If their symptoms are stil present, pray again. Don’t give up.

Instruct them to expect their healing (the absence of symptoms, etc.) not the pain, while they are thanking God for the improvement and the eventual completion of the healing.

5. Never tel anyone to stop taking medication even when all the symptoms have disappeared. Tel them they must check with their doctors for instructions regarding any change in their medications.

6. A relationship with Jesus is what everyone needs most. If they are not born again, lead them in the prayer of salvation.

CHAPTER 8

GOD GETS THE GLORY

By this time you should be prepared to pray for people to be healed and blessed by God. It is not uncommon at the end of a ministry session for people who received healing to say, “Oh, thank you! Thank you!”

In return, most believers who are ministering wil respond by saying, “Thank Jesus, not me,” to turn the attention away from them and give the glory to God where it is due. Here is another way to deal with this same situation.

When people who were healed say, “Oh thank you! Thank you!” just respond by saying, “I just watched God answer your prayers.

That’s what happened here.” That response removes you from the situation completely. It gives al the credit to God and makes you an observer of God’s power rather than the source of that power. This wil al ow you to avoid that awkward moment when you have to deflect the glory from you to God.

By tel ing them you watched God answer their prayers, you are saying God did it and He could have done it without you. It takes al the glory away from you and gives it to God where it belongs.

Wait on the Holy Spirit. He wil move through you. It is not a function of your ability, but of your availability. The more mature you become in the Lord, the more you realize it never was by or through your ability that anyone was healed. Be aware of the words that come out of your mouth after you pray for someone. Are you rejoicing that they were touched and freed or are you talking about how you prayed for someone and how they got healed? Is it about you? Or is it about what God did for them?

After the fact, you can clearly see the motivation of your heart by the words that come out of your mouth. “For out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks” (Matthew 12:34). Your words wil confirm whether your motivation is to see people set free or to elevate yourself by letting others know that when you pray for people, they are healed.

It is not uncommon to be excited when someone is healed. I believe that you should be very excited. I get excited every time someone is healed. However, who gets the glory? Can you tel others about the healing without mentioning your participation in it at al ? Is the ministry about you and your gifting or is it about God?

If you find that you have been self-centered in ministry, then this is the perfect time to repent. “But if you harbor bitter envy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast about it or deny the truth. Such ‘wisdom’ does not come down from heaven but is earthly, unspiritual, of the devil. For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice” (James 3:14–16).

If you have been selfish and your motives are for yourself, repent.

Don’t stop ministering to others, just do it with God’s motives and not your own. It is not uncommon to meet powerful y gifted people who believe they are serving God with their gifts, but who may, in reality, be serving themselves. “Many wil say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?’ Then I wil tel them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’” (Matthew 7:22–23).

Be sure to always give God al the glory.

CHAPTER 9

MINISTRY TO CHILDREN

When you are ministering to children, always position yourself at eye level with them. Get on your knees or sit down in a chair.

Always ask, “What is your name?” Don’t talk about them or ask them personal questions when you first meet. Talk about your own children or some of your experiences as a child until they start to join in or until you know they are relaxed enough for you to minister to them.

Most children don’t come running up to the front of the church for prayer. They are usually dragged to the altar by their parents. Parents often say things like, “Can you change this kid’s habits and help them? We have tried everything.” Or “He has had this medical problem or that problem since he was born.” Take time to talk to the child on their level. Don’t speak to them in baby talk, talk to them like an adult, because they are in front of an adult seeking help.

Take extra time if the child has not reached the age of accountability. The age of accountability is a Jewish custom that marks the time when children become (young) adults and they then stand before God responsible for their own actions.

For a girl, the age of accountability begins when she starts menstruation (around twelve years of age) and for a boy, it begins when he can grow hair on his face (around the age of thirteen). These events essential y mean that they have entered puberty.

Mistakes prior to this age are not necessarily childish; however, responsibility for the consequences in Jewish law falls upon the parents, not the child. It is understood that the child may be ful y aware of what they are doing and the consequences of their actions.

Prior to this time or event, the child has not reached the age of accountability and is accountable only through the parents.

In many cases, I have found I do not need to pray for the child unless they specifically ask for prayer. I have found the greatest success by praying for the parents.

“For the unbelieving husband has been sanctified through his wife, and the unbelieving wife has been sanctified through her believing husband. Otherwise your children would be unclean, but as it is, they are holy” (1 Corinthians 7:14).

There is a Christian child psychologist in Florida who has had great success ministering to disturbed children with Attention Deficient Disorder (ADD) as wel as other problems. He ministered only to the believing parents. Never once did he see the child. He met with the mom and dad, prayed with them, and instructed them on how to handle their child. Many times he would not only counsel them, but he would also give them homework assignments that had to be completed before he would meet with them again. Al of the children changed in just a short period of time after he ministered only to the parents.

The sins of the fathers (ancestors) are carried down to the third and fourth generations. No one can avoid this spiritual law.

Until someone repents (changes), this law remains in effect.

The curse stops when somebody repents and stands in for his fathers and says, “No more, this sin stops here and now. I repent for my sins and the sins of my fathers.”

When I was at a large church in Chicago, a mom started screaming in the back of the room. Running to the back, I found a young boy turning blue from a severe asthma attack.

The parents had sent someone to the car to get his asthma medicine, but the church was packed and the car was parked a long distance from the church.

After asking the Lord what to do, I clearly heard Him say, “Pray for the mom.” I took the hysterical mother to a quiet corner and led her in a prayer of repentance for adultery. She immediately repented and when she did, she felt something tangible leave her. At the same moment, the boy started breathing deeply. He was fine. The mother’s repentance and the boy’s recovery happened simultaneously. I never touched the boy or laid hands on him, yet he was healed.

I am not tel ing you that asthma is caused by adultery, but rather that it is caused by the sins of the fathers (a parent or an ancestor). In this case, there was a particular situation involving sin. The asthma and this sinful situation started at the same time and repentance brought healing to both at the same time.

The Bible has a great deal to say about the effects of the sins of the fathers (Exodus 34:5–7; Leviticus 26:39–42; Numbers 14:18).

“You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me” (Exodus 20:5).

Jesus also spoke about the sins of the fathers. He told the Pharisees that they were doing the same things their fathers did.

“Abraham is our father,” they answered. “If you were Abraham’s children,” said Jesus, “then you would do the things Abraham did. As it is, you are determined to kil me, a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God. Abraham did not do such things. You are doing the things your own father does.”(John 8:39–41)

When you lead people in prayers of repentance, it is important to have them repent for the sins of their fathers (parents, grandparents, ancestors) as wel . Then tel them to put all these sins on the cross of Jesus Christ.

(See Chapter 11 for specific prayers.)

CHAPTER 10

DELIVERANCE

Ministering deliverance is not complicated or difficult. It is as easy as praying for the sick. It does, however, require an understanding of God’s Word and a comprehension of God’s authority. Deliverance was one-third of Jesus’ ministry. If you are going to lay hands on the sick and see them recover, it wil also be a part of your ministry.

What is a demonic being? It is an evil spirit that is looking for a body to inhabit and needs a doorway in which to enter. Can Christians have demons? My answer is always the same: Do Christians have bodies? Remember that the cause of sickness is sin and sin is also the doorway that many demonic spirits use to move into a person’s life. Demons can’t inhabit your spirit; but given the right into your life, they can affect your body and your soul, which is your mind, your wil , and your emotions. You wil not find demons behind every doorknob or rose bush, but they do exist and they can reap havoc on God’s people.

If you are not familiar with the Scriptures that show that demons exist and how they operate, you need to read and reread them again.

Begin with the healing ministry of Jesus. Jesus cast seven demons out of Mary Magdalene and went on to cast demons out of many others also (Mark 16:9; Matthew 8:16, 28–32; 10:8, Mark 1:32–34, 39; Luke 8:2; 27–33;11:14 as wel as many other Scripture verses).

Demons (or devils) are not the cause of every problem in life.

However, if they are the cause of the problem in the person coming to you for ministry, you need to know how to minister deliverance (freedom) according to God’s Word.

How do I deal with these spirit entities? First of al , you need to know you have authority over demons. This authority is given by God to all believers without exception. “And these signs wil accompany those who believe: In my name they wil drive out demons” (Mark 16:17). He gave us this authority, just as He gave it to His disciples. He cal ed His twelve disciples to Him and gave them authority to drive out evil spirits and to heal every disease and sickness. Jesus gave His fol owers the authority to deliver others from demons. If you are a fol ower of Jesus, then you have the same authority (Matthew 10:1; Mark 3:14–15; 6:7–13; 16:17; Luke 9:1; 10:17–19).

It is interesting to consider that His fol owers ministered healing and cast out demons both before and after Jesus died as wel as before and after they received the Holy Spirit in the book of Acts.

Along with being ful y persuaded that you have this authority, you must also have an understanding of how it functions. This authority is yours when you understand your position in Christ and not just your power or abilities in Him. It may be best explained this way: You are driving down the highway at night and a big man on a large motorcycle tries to get you to pul off the road. There is no doubt you would resist him. However, if a police officer on a patrol motorcycle tries to pul you over, you know you have stop. He is no stronger than the other man but he is operating within a higher authority and counts on that power to back him up. He knows and understands his authority.

It is not what you can do to the demons that gets them to obey, but it is who you are in Christ that they have to submit to. “The seventy-two returned with joy and said, ‘Lord, even the demons submit to us in your name’” (Luke 10:17).

How do you know which demons or evil spirits are causing a problem? In general, they are described by their function, meaning how these spiritual beings manifest in the natural realm. The Word of God mentions many types such as a spirit of infirmity (Luke 7:21; 8:2; 13:11 KJV), deaf and dumb spirits (Mark 7:32, 37; 9:25), the spirit of heaviness (Isaiah 61:3 KJV), the spirit of haughtiness or pride (Proverbs 16:18), a spirit of bondage (Romans 8:15 KJV) etc.

I have found through life experiences that demons are singular in their purpose. There are many types of evil spirits or demons and each one has its own manifestation. For example, a spirit of anger can only manifest as anger. A spirit of infirmity can only manifest as sickness. And a spirit of perversion is always perverse and has no other traits.

Setting people free from demons is very easy because demons must obey believers acting under the authority of God using the name of Jesus. However, there is this one caution: as in any ministry, make sure you are led by the Spirit and not by your own desires to see someone set free. Jesus clearly explained that if I cast a spirit out of someone but neglect to deal with the cause (doorway) in which the spirit came in, I could be doing more harm than good.

When an evil spirit comes out of a man, it goes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it. Then it says, “I wil return to the house I left.” When it arrives, it finds the house swept clean and put in order. Then it goes and takes seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and live there. And the final condition of that man is worse than the first.(Luke 11:24–26)

It is very important that the root cause is dealt with and that there is repentance from this cause. There are two very important questions to ask in order to find the root cause: 1. How long have you had the problem? (When did it start?) 2. What happened just before or when the problem started?

(Identify the doorway.)

Fear, unforgiveness, bitterness, pride, lust, greed, generational sins, curses, and any participation in the occult are just a few of the root causes.

A woman in Iowa had been in pain for four years. She had been in an auto accident and her back had never healed even though she had often received prayer. There had been an ugly insurance lawsuit and she had been falsely accused. She was stil angry with both the person who hit her and their attorney.

When I prayed for her, she forgave them both and was instantly healed. As she forgave them, she could feel the anger, bitterness, and pain leave her body.

I could have ministered to her by just casting out the spirit of pain. However, if I had not led her in repentance for the anger and unforgiveness, she may have had even more problems if the spirit of pain returned (Luke 11:24–26).

Setting people free is easy. When you are ministering, don’t look for the darkness that may be residing in people. Look for the light that is in them and the light wil expose any darkness.

I also want to point out that there is no record in the Bible where Jesus ever yel ed at the demons or repeated Himself over and over again. He simply drove them out with a word.

“When evening came, many who were demon-possessed were brought to him, and he drove out the spirits with a word and healed all the sick” (Matthew 8:16).

Also, you must remember that when the demons are driven out, they can’t go into you, your family members, or even your house.

The word confirms that they go to the dry and arid places.

“When an evil spirit comes out of a man, it goes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it” (Luke 11:24). The dry and arid places are places without the water of life (Revelation 22:1).

Although evil spirits stil exist, are stil evil, and stil have power, always remember they all have to submit to the name that is above every name, the name of Jesus Christ. “At the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth” (Philippians 2:10).

The demons do not have to submit to your wil , but they have to submit to God’s wil through the name of Jesus. So, always walk according to God’s truth as revealed in His Word, be led by the peace of God, and fol ow the leading of the Holy Spirit.

CHAPTER 11

PRAYERS OF REPENTANCE

This is a col ection of effective prayers that you wil use in the “How to Pray for Various Conditions” section of this book.

They are very effective in ministering healing. Learn them.

PRAYER OF SALVATION

“Father, I know that Jesus came that we may have life and that life more abundantly (John 10:10). The Word of God confirms that he who fol ows Jesus must be a servant of the Lord. As that servant, he would lose the life he knows and would receive a new life in Christ (Mark 10:43; Romans 6:4). I am wil ing to die to my old life and pick up this new life as a servant of the Lord Jesus Christ.

“Father, I confess I have been living for myself. The path I have chosen has not produced life-giving fruit that lasts. I am wil ing to give my whole life to You and confess with my mouth that Jesus is Lord and that I am now the servant of the Lord. No longer wil I live for myself, but I wil live for Christ from this day forth. I confess my sins and ask that they be removed from me and put on the cross of Jesus Christ. (Take the time needed to confess these sins.) I know this is the beginning of a journey that wil continue through eternity. I (insert ful Christian name) give you 100 percent of my heart and confirm my covenant with Jesus who is raised from the dead and now lives in my heart.”

PRAYER FOR FORGIVENESS

“Father, I understand that You do not forgive sin but You do forgive people who sin (Matthew 6:12). I understand that You separate the sins from those who confess and repent of those sins.

The Word of God confirms that Jesus bore my confessed sins on the cross and that He no longer holds them against me (1

Peter 2:24). I also understand that no one but Jesus deserved forgiveness and that You wil forgive me of my sins with the same measure that I choose to forgive others (Matthew 6:14– 15).

“Father, I choose to forgive (insert name). What they did to me is sin. Take this sin from them and put it on the cross. And on the day of judgment when I stand before Your Throne, I wil hold no accusation against them. Father, I ask you to bless them, in Jesus’ name.”

REPENTANCE FOR JUDGMENT

AND CONDEMNATION

“Father, I understand Your Word says You wil judge me with the same measure I use to judge others. I also know by Your Word that I wil be condemned with the same measure that I use to condemn others (Luke 6:37–38; 1 Corinthians 5:12). I know it is correct to judge things as right and wrong according to your Word, but only You know the motives and intent of another’s heart (Hebrews 4:12).

“Father, I have judged others and condemned them. This is sin, and I repent of this sin and ask You to separate this sin from me in Jesus’ name and put it on the cross of Jesus Christ.”

PRAYER TO BREAK WORD CURSES

“Father, I know Your Word says to say things that edify, build up, correct in love, and confirm (1 Thessalonians 5:11; 2

Timothy 4:2). Words of condemnation, slander, complaining, griping, and gossip or accusation are not of You. They are sin (James 5:9).

“Father, I have said words that did not edify, exhort, correct in love, or confirm. I take responsibility for those words. They are sin.

Take this sin from me, put it on the cross of Jesus, and on the day of judgment, hold no accusations against me. I renounce those words in Jesus’ name. I ask you to bless those whom I have said bad words about.

“Father, people have said words about me that did not edify, exhort, correct in love or confirm. That is sin. Take the sin from them, put it on the cross of Jesus and on the day of judgment, hold no accusations against them. They are free. I choose to release them from this, and those words are now broken off me, in Jesus’ name.”

PRAYER TO BREAK GENERATIONAL CURSES

“Father, I know Your Word says that if we confess our iniquity (sins) and the iniquity (sins) of our fathers that you wil heal us (James 5:16; Leviticus 26:40–42).

“Father, I take responsibility for my sins. I ask You to forgive me of my sins, separate them from me, and place them on the cross of Jesus Christ. I also ask you to forgive my fathers of this same sin, separate their sins from them, put them on the cross as wel and thus break the curse off of me and my family, in Jesus’ name.”

PRAYER TO BREAK UNGODLY COVENANTS

“Father, I understand that sexual intercourse is the sign of the marriage covenant and that you call the marriage covenant holy (Matthew 19:6). I know Your Word states that sex outside of marriage is sin (Matthew 15:19–20). I also understand that I have entered into covenant with every person with whom I have had sexual relations.

“Father, I renounce the ungodly covenant I made with (insert name). This was sin and I renounce it as such. Separate this sin from me, place it on the cross of Jesus, and break this covenant I made off of me and my household. I also renounce any other ungodly covenants I have made as wel , in Jesus’

name.”

CHAPTER 12

THE IMMUNE SYSTEM AND ELECTRICAL

AND MAGNETIC FREQUENCIES,

PRIONS, AND PH BALANCE

The immune system consists of a group of highly specialized interactive cel s, which recognize abnormal cel s, tissues, objects, or organisms within the body or that enter the body.

When the abnormality is identified, the immune response is initiated. The white blood cel s within the lymph fluid then attack the abnormalities to destroy them, remove them from the body, and return the body to its normal healthy state.

Lymph tissues are found in many areas throughout the body such as the bone marrow, tonsils, adenoids, spleen, and appendix. These organs and tissues act as a protective network of barriers to infection and/or foreign bodies. The lymph vessels and lymph nodes are parts of the special circulatory system that carry lymph throughout the body and are vital to the immune response.

Although their systems are completely separate, the lymph and blood circulatory systems work in close partnership with each other to clear impurities from the body such as bacteria, infection, viruses, or cancer cel s.

God designed other specific protective barriers within the body also. These include the skin (the largest organ of the body), stomach acid, mucous, cough reflex, tears, and skin oils.

If a foreign organism gets past these lines of defense, the immune system takes over to fight off the potentially dangerous substance.

Most diseases start when the immune system is compromised.

Add this command wherever applicable: PRAYER TO RESTORE THE IMMUNE SYSTEM

“I command the immune system to be restored. I command it to be effective in stopping diseases, germs, and viruses from inflicting this body, in Jesus’ name.”

ELECTRICAL AND MAGNETIC FREQUENCIES

The human body is made up of tril ions of cel s that are affected by constant chemical reactions, which produce energy for our life functions. Part of the energy released from these reactions is electrical energy that has its own magnetic frequency. Modern science is now able to measure these electrical and magnetic frequencies.

Science has found that in bodies where sickness such as cancer exists, the electrical and magnetic frequencies are altered from their natural state. In other words, these frequencies are out of harmony and balance. There are studies that suggest that cancer ceases to grow when the electrical and magnetic frequencies are returned to their natural state. I have found by my own experiences that commanding the body to return to its natural electrical and magnetic frequencies has brought healing with many diseases.

PRAYER TO NORMALIZE ELECTRICAL

AND MAGNETIC FREQUENCIES

“In the name of Jesus I command all of the electrical and magnetic frequencies in this body to return to normal harmony and balance.”

PRIONS

Prions are molecules of a normal body protein that have changed their normal configuration. They are capable of reproduction on their own and can become infectious, damage the body and negatively affect normal body function.

These prions have been found in neurological tissues such as the brain on autopsy. Medical research is unclear as to the exact cause of prions as wel as the treatment to control or prevent prion development. However, prions tend to exist where disease is present.

I have seen people healed of various diseases by simply commanding the prions to dissolve and be discarded by the body.

Prayer to Remove Prions

“I command all the prions to completely dissolve and be discarded from the body. I command healing to every cel affected by these prions, in Jesus’ name.”

PH BALANCE

The pH balance (acid/alkaline measurement) of our body fluids affects every cel in our bodies. Any imbalance wil interfere with cel ular activities and functions. Generalized complaints of low energy, fatigue, excess weight, poor digestion, headaches and other pains, as wel as other more serious disorders have been connected to a pH imbalance. The causes often are from poor diet, drug toxicity, kidney or liver malfunction, breathing problems and/or uncontrol ed diabetic management.

The body has many ways to correct any abnormal state or function of the body; however, it cannot correct all imbalanced states indefinitely. Certain diseases of the body can cause the pH imbalance; however, the imbalance itself wil eventually cause other malfunctions or diseases of the body also. If not corrected, pH imbalance can cause death.

PRAYER TO NORMALIZE THE PH BALANCE

“I command the pH balance of this body to normalize. I command healing to every cel affected by any abnormal pH

levels, in Jesus’ name.”

CHAPTER 13

PRAYERS FOR VARIOUS CONDITIONS

ABUSE

Abuse may occur in the form of physical, sexual, emotional, verbal, or a combination of any of these and may be experienced at any age. If a responsible person does not provide the basic needs for a helpless, dependent person, the neglect is considered abuse as wel .

By law, we are required to report any ongoing sexual abuse of a minor. If you have been informed of such abuse and don’t report it to the proper authorities, you can be prosecuted as wel as the person who committed the crime. Victims often believe that they are responsible for the abusive treatment.

They believe a lie.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Instruct victims of ongoing physical abuse to go to a safe house.

2. Lead them in the prayer of forgiveness towards the abuser.

3. Rebuke the lies they have believed.

4. Speak the peace of God upon them.

ACNE

Acne is a skin condition characterized by whiteheads, blackheads, and inflamed red pimples or “zits.” Acne is caused when the tiny pores on the surface of the skin become clogged. Normally, the oil glands beneath the skin surface help keep the skin lubricated and help remove old skin cel s.

When too much oil is produced, the pores can become blocked trapping dirt, debris, and bacteria. The bacteria can become infection that, in turn, can cause repeated skin eruptions that can leave serious physical scarring. Usually seen on the face, Acne can also affect other areas of the body such as the back.

Acne can be exacerbated by stress, incorrect diet, or poor hygiene.

The unpleasant appearance of eruptions often affects relationships and can precipitate name-cal ing or isolation, especially in the formative teen years.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Rebuke the infection and command it to go.

2. Lay hands on their head, commanding the skin pores to open, drain, and function normally.

3. Command glands to produce a normal amount of oil.

4. Command al damaged and scarred tissues be healed.

5. Speak peace to them.

ADDICTION

(ALCOHOL, CIGARETTE, DRUGS, OR FOOD) An Addiction is a physical and/or psychological dependence on a substance. For example: alcohol, nicotine in cigarettes, or drugs (such as tranquilizers, cocaine, marijuana, heroin etc.).

Chronic abuse of any kind of drugs can cause damage to various organs and functions of the body. People can also be addicted to eating food (cal ed Gluttony).

The root cause is most often rebel ion that generally occurs at or just after puberty (the age of accountability) and opens the door to an addictive spirit. Many are able to get free of substance abuse but must fight with the addictive spirit their entire life until they repent of their rebel ion.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Confirm their desire to be free from the addiction.

2. Have them repent for their rebel ion.

3. Have them renounce the words spoken in rebel ion.

4. Speak a replacement for any damaged parts of their body, for example a new brain, liver, etc.

5. Speak peace to them.

ADDISON’S DISEASE

(Also called Adrenal Insufficiency.

See Adrenal Glands also.) Addison’s Disease is an endocrine or hormonal disorder.

The disease is characterized by weight loss, muscle weakness, fatigue, low blood pressure, and sometimes an abnormal darkening of the skin.

Addison’s Disease occurs when the adrenal glands do not produce enough hormones. Also called Adrenal Insufficiency, Addison’s Disease may be due to a genetic abnormality of the adrenal glands.

However, most cases are caused by the gradual destruction of the adrenal glands by the body’s own immune system. (See Chapter 12 for additional information about the immune system and autoimmune disorders.) How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Lead them in the prayer of repentance for the sins of their fathers (ancestors).

2. Command the electrical frequencies and chemical balance to be in order.

3. Command a creative miracle—a new pair of Adrenal Glands.

4. Command the hormones from the Adrenal Gland to maintain normal levels.

ADHESIONS

(See Scars, Keloids, and Adhesions.) ADRENAL GLANDS

(Also see Addison’s Disease.) The Adrenal Glands are located on top of both kidneys. These glands secrete hormones such as adrenaline that affect blood pressure, heart rate, and sweating. In times of tension or anxiety, the Adrenal Glands put out extra adrenaline so the body can adequately cope with the “stress.” It secretes many hormones that control the use of fats, proteins, and carbohydrates in the body, as wel as male sex hormones. The glands also secrete a mineral corticoid that controls blood pressure and the levels of salt and potassium in the body.

The hypothalamus or pituitary glands produce other hormones that, in turn, control the Adrenal Glands. Abnormal functioning of these other glands can cause problems with the Adrenal Glands.

Abnormal production of hormones, disease, or infection inside or immediately around the Adrenal Glands can cause problems as wel .

People with a disorder of the Adrenal Glands are often stressed constantly, worried or overworked, and take little time to adequately rest or sleep.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Rebuke any infection or underlying disease process and command the Adrenal Glands to function properly.

2. Command al hormones to return to normal levels.

3. Lead in a prayer of repentance for worry (lay worry on the altar of God), stress (give problems to Jesus) or not resting (God requires a Sabbath day’s rest).

ADRENAL INSUFFICIENCY

(See Addison’s Disease.)

AGORAPHOBIA

(See Panic Disorder.)

AIDS/HIV

HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is the virus that causes AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome). This virus may be passed from one person to another through infected blood, semen, or vaginal secretions when they come in contact with an uninfected person’s broken skin or mucous membranes (mouth, eyes, nose, vagina, rectum, or opening of the penis). In addition, infected pregnant women can pass HIV to their baby during pregnancy or delivery as wel as through breastfeeding. It can also be passed by sharing infected needles or through blood transfusions.

People with HIV have the HIV infection. Some of these people wil develop AIDS while others won’t. AIDS is an acronym for Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome. Acquired means that the disease developed after birth from contact with a disease (in this case, HIV). Immunodeficiency means that the disease is characterized by a weakening of the immune system.

Syndrome refers to a number of symptoms that indicate or characterize a disease when they occur simultaneously. In the case of AIDS, the syndrome includes the development of certain infections and/or cancers, as wel as an abnormality in the number of certain cel s in the infected person’s immune system.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Lead in repentance when necessary.

2. Rebuke the spirit of HIV.

3. Speak in a new immune and blood system.

4. Command the electrical and magnetic frequencies to be in harmony and return to normal balance.

5. Command al prions to completely dissolve and leave the body.

6. Command the blood to come into proper pH balance.

7. Command al damaged organs and tissues to return to normal function and appearance.

ALLERGIES

Allergic reactions are the body’s inappropriate immune response to normally harmless substances, which are often environmental. The immune system defends the body against foreign substances.

However, in susceptible people, the immune system can overreact to certain substances that are harmless to most people. The result is an allergic reaction.

About one third of the people in the United States have some type of allergy. Allergic reactions can occur when the substance lands on the skin or in the eye, is inhaled, eaten, or injected. A seasonal Allergy (such as hay fever) is caused by exposure to airborne particles from such sources as grass or ragweed pol en or perfume. An al ergic reaction can be caused by a medication, eating certain foods, breathing in dust, smoke, animal dander, changes in physical conditions such as walking into a cold room o r bright light, or touching an object e.g. cosmetics or soaps.

Reactions can manifest by a slightly runny nose, mild itching, or headache; or the effects can be life threatening with severe breathing difficulties that, if not treated immediately, can lead to death.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Lead them in a prayer of repentance for generational curses.

2. Lay hands on the head, commanding the immune system to return to normal, and al the tissues and organs to be healed and function normally.

3. If not an inherited trait, find out what happened just before symptoms began and lead in a prayer for repentance or forgiveness.

ALOPECIA

(SEE BALDNESS.)

ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE

Alzheimer’s Disease is characterized by a progressive loss of mental function. Parts of the brain degenerate and destroyed nerve cel s can no longer transmit signals from the brain to the body.

Mentation diminishes to some degree in al people as they age but is much more pronounced in those affected by Alzheimer’s.

This severely debilitating condition can lead to the person’s total dependence for all activities of daily living and requires constant supervision. The total disorientation, personality changes, abnormal behavior, and loss of memory affect the person as wel as the entire family.

The cause of Alzheimer’s is unknown, but the disease seems to occur more frequently in some families. In the United States, mil ions of people have been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s Disease. Elevated concentrations of aluminum have been found in the brain of some people while other patients have been misdiagnosed and found to have excessive spinal fluid that exerts pressure on the brain causing symptoms similar to Alzheimer’s Disease.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Lead them in a prayer of repentance for generational curses.

2. Command the metal ic levels in the blood and the brain to return to normal.

3. Command the excessive spinal fluid to return to normal.

4. Speak a creative miracle and command a new brain.

5. Command al nerve pathways and communication between the brain and body to return to normal.

AMBLYOPIA

(Also called Lazy Eye.)

Amblyopia is loss of vision in one eye. This usually can be traced to a lack of use of that eye in early childhood. This type of vision loss is usually caused by the abnormal functioning of the brain, not of the eye. Amblyopia is the most common cause of vision loss in children and develops only during childhood. Amblyopia should be suspected if the eyes turn inward or outward, the eyes do not appear to work together or if the person shows a lack of depth perception.

Crossed eyes, farsightedness, nearsightedness, astigmatism, and childhood cataracts are common causes of Amblyopia. As one eye becomes dominant and has normal vision, images from the weaker eye are ignored by the brain and the visual system in the brain fails to develop properly. Between ages 5

and 10, the condition becomes permanent.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Command the eyes to send complete signals to the brain.

2. Command the brain to interpret the messages from both eyes and function normally.

3. Command the eye muscles to be of equal length and strength and the nerves to function normally.

4. Command the eye to be healed and vision to be normal.

5. Lead them in a prayer of repentance for generational curses.

AMYOTROPHIC LATERAL SCLEROSIS (ALS) Also known as “Lou Gehrig’s disease” or “ALS,” Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis is characterized by progressive loss of motor nerve function in the spinal cord and brain. Motor nerves control the voluntary movement of muscles. Some cases of ALS have been linked to a genetic defect while, in many other cases, the cause of the nerve deterioration is unknown. It eventually can lead to paralysis of the respiratory system and dependency upon mechanical ventilators to maintain life.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Lead them in a prayer of repentance for generational curses.

2. Command the spirit of ALS to leave.

3. Command a new nervous system and a new brain.

4. Command that al systems be totally healed and function normally.

ANEMIA

(See also Sickle Cell Anemia.) Red blood cel s contain hemoglobin, a protein that enables the cel s to carry oxygen from the lungs and to all parts of the body. When the number of red blood cel s is reduced or the amount of hemoglobin is low, the blood cannot supply sufficient oxygen to the cel s of the body. Without enough oxygen, the organs of the body do not function effectively and the symptoms of Anemia appear—extreme weakness, shortness of breath with any exertion, pale lips, skin, and nail beds, to name a few.

Anemia can be caused by a lack of vitamin B-12 that is essential for normal nervous system function and blood cel production. The main dietary sources of vitamin B-12 include meat, eggs, and dairy products. Anemia can also be caused by a slow loss of blood within the body such as a bleeding ulcer in the GI tract, irritable bowel syndrome, or cancer. Because red blood cel s are produced in the bone marrow, any problems or malfunction of the bone marrow can also cause Anemia.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Command the gastrointestinal tract to be healed and to properly absorb and utilize necessary vitamins and minerals, especially Vitamin B-12.

2. Command the bone marrow to function normally and to manufacture normal amounts of healthy red blood cel s.

3. Command any source of abnormal bleeding to be healed and function normally.

4. Command the blood to come into proper pH balance.

ANEURYSM

An Aneurysm is a bulge (dilated weak section) in the wall of an artery, usually the aorta (the large blood vessel leading from the heart to the body); however, an Aneurysm can develop in other arteries of the body as wel , such as within the brain. The pressure of blood inside an artery forces a weakened area to balloon outward. If untreated, an Aneurysm may rupture, resulting in serious internal bleeding. If the rupture is in the brain, serious brain damage or death can occur. If located in or near the heart, death occurs rapidly.

The most common cause of an aortic Aneurysm is atherosclerosis, which weakens the wall of the aorta. Less common causes include injuries, inflammatory diseases of the blood vessel, and some infectious diseases such as syphilis. In older people, almost all Aneurysms are associated with atherosclerosis. High blood pressure, common among older people, and cigarette smoking both increase the risk of an Aneurysm.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Lay hands on the affected area, commanding a creative miracle— new arteries with good strong walls.

2. Command restoration of normal blood flow.

ANGINA

Angina is chest pain caused by inadequate blood flow through the blood vessels of the heart muscle. Angina is not a heart attack, but may be a symptom of heart disease and, if untreated, can lead to a heart attack. The decreased blood flow actually causes a type of “cramp” of the heart muscle. If the blood is cut off or diminished for an extended period, the cel s of the heart muscle wil die. At that point, the diagnosis wil be a heart attack.

Inadequate blood supply to the heart can be and often is caused by atherosclerosis (thickening of the inside walls of the blood vessels).

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Command the blood vessels around the heart to open up completely and allow sufficient blood flow to the heart muscle.

2. Speak in a new heart.

ANOREXIA NERVOSA

A person with Anorexia Nervosa has a distorted body image, an extreme fear of obesity, refuses to maintain minimal normal body weight, and, in women, does not have menstrual periods.

Hereditary factors may play a role in the development of Anorexia Nervosa, although social factors are also important.

The desire to be thin pervades Western society, and a person who is obese is considered unattractive, unhealthy, and undesirable. Children are aware of these attitudes at a young age. Two thirds of all adolescent girls from age twelve to eighteen wil diet or use other extreme measures to control their weight. Occasionally, it is found in adults. The primary cause appears to be rebel ion as stated in the Psalms. This generally starts with words of rebel ion stated during or right after puberty.

“Some became fools through their rebel ious ways and suffered affliction because of their iniquities. They loathed al food and drew near the gates of death” (Psalms 107:17–18).

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Have them repent of their rebel ion at adolescence.

2. Have them renounce the words spoken in rebel ion.

3. Cast out the spirit of death and speak in life.

ANXIETY

(SEE ALSO FEAR AND PANIC DISORDER.) Anxiety includes feeling apprehension, fear, or uneasiness. The source is not always known or recognized, which can add to the distress a person feels. The most effective solution is to identify and address the source of the stress, fear, or anxiety.

Unfortunately, this is not always possible. Ask what the person thinks might be making them “stress out.” Is something constantly on their mind? What do they worry about most?

Does anything in particular make them sad or depressed?

Talking with a friend or family member may be helpful with identifying the causative incident or triggering events.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Lead them in a prayer to lay all worry, stress, and care on the altar of God.

2. Lead them in a prayer of repentance when necessary.

3. Speak peace to them.

APPESTAT (SEE OBESITY)

The Appestat is the brain’s control center for the appetite (or desire for food).

ARMS AND HANDS

Numbness, tingling, and pain of the arms and hands are usually caused by a neck problem that affects the nerves and sensations to these areas. Increased tension, injury, and damage to the nerves, muscles, and spine can contribute to problems of the upper extremities.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Grow out the arms.

2. Command the neck to be adjusted.

3. Command the nerves to be restored to normal structure and function.

4. Command numbness, tingling, and pain to go 5. Lead them in a prayer to lay all worry, stress and care on the altar of God.

ARTERIOSCLEROSIS

(Also called Atherosclerosis.) Arteriosclerosis is a condition in which patchy deposits of fatty material develop in the walls of medium and large-sized arteries, leading to reduced or blocked blood flow to tissues or organs of the body. Blockage of blood can permanently damage tissues and their function. Within the heart, blockage results in a heart attack, which can be life threatening.

Blockage in the brain can cause a stroke, paralysis, or death.

Atherosclerosis can affect the arteries of the brain, heart, kidneys, other vital organs, and legs. It is the most important and most common type of Arteriosclerosis, a general term for several diseases in which the artery wall thickens and becomes less elastic because of the fat deposits.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Command the neck to be adjusted.

2. Command al the arteries to be cleansed of all cholesterol deposits and elasticity to return to normal.

3. Command al blockages to disappear and blood to flow to every area of the body normally.

4. Command any damaged tissues or organs be healed and function normally.

ARTHRITIS

(Also see Osteoarthritis and Rheumatoid Arthritis) Arthritis involves inflammation of one or more joints and the breakdown of the joint cartilage, which normally protects the joints and al ows smooth movement. Cartilage also absorbs shock when pressure is placed on the joint as a person walks or it otherwise bears weight. Without the usual amount of cartilage, the bones rub together, causing pain, swel ing, and stiffness in hips, knees, or feet. It can develop in any joint of the body including the hands, arms, shoulders, neck, and back.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Cast out the spirit of Arthritis.

2. Command al inflammation and swel ing to be healed and pain to go.

3. Command the cartilage to be restored and joints to function normally.

4. Lead in the prayer of forgiveness.

ASTHMA

(ALSO SEE COPD.)

Asthma is a disease in which inflammation of the body’s airways restricts airflow into and out of the lungs. When an Asthma attack occurs, the muscles of the airways tighten and the lining of the airways swel , reducing airflow and producing a characteristic wheezing sound. Increased mucus production also blocks the airways.

Most people with Asthma have intermittent attacks, but can experience chronic mild shortness of breath with occasional episodes of increased breathing difficulty. Asthma attacks can last from minutes to days, and can become life-threatening if breathing is severely restricted by the swel ing of tissues or blocked by excessive mucous production. Quite often, panic occurs at the same time, which can exacerbate the attack.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Lead in repentance for the sins of the fathers (ancestors).

2. Cast out the spirit of Asthma.

3. Speak healing to all the tissues of the respiratory system, all damage to other parts of the body be repaired, and all function be normal.

4. Grow out the arms.

5. Speak the peace of God into their life.

ASTIGMATISM

Astigmatism is a common condition of the eye. The cornea of the eye is not evenly curved and causes vision to be out of focus. The cause is unknown but it is usually present from birth and often occurs together with nearsightedness or farsightedness. A small amount of Astigmatism is normal and can be corrected with glasses.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Command the spirit of astigmatism to go.

2. Command the eye(s) to return to the proper shape and vision to return to normal.

ATTENTION DEFICIT DISORDER (ADD) AND

ATTENTION DEFICIT HYPERACTIVITY DISORDER (ADHD) ADD and ADHD both include problems with attentiveness, hyperactivity, impulsive behavior, or any combination of these behaviors. ADHD affects school performance as wel as development of relationships with others. Parents of children with ADHD are often exhausted, frustrated, and overwhelmed.

Diagnosed more often in boys than in girls, Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) is the most commonly diagnosed behavioral disorder of childhood. Every child suspected of having ADHD

or ADD needs a careful professional evaluation to determine what is contributing to the abnormal behaviors. Symptoms such as depression, sleep deprivation, learning disabilities, tic disorders, and behavior problems may be confused with, or appear along with, ADHD.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Lead them in a prayer of repentance for the sins of the fathers (ancestors).

2. Command silence to all the abnormal noises in the head.

3. Command the spirit of ADD/ADHD to go.

4. Speak in a new brain, if necessary.

5. Command the hormones to be in balance and the nerve pathways of the brain to work properly 6. Command peace to the family and the home.

7. Suggest a change in diet where applicable.

AUTISM

Autism is a complex developmental disorder that appears in the first years of life, although it can sometimes be diagnosed much later.

Affecting the brain’s normal development of communication and social skil s, it encompasses a wide range of behavior. The common features of Autism include impaired social interactions, impaired verbal and nonverbal communication, and restricted and repetitive patterns of behavior.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Gently and with a quiet attitude, hold the person if possible.

2. Speaking softly but firmly, command the spirit of Autism to go.

3. Lay on hands and command a new brain and the total restoration of the nervous system.

4. Speak the peace of God into their heart and soul.

BACK PROBLEMS

(ALSO SEE DISC PROBLEMS.) Back pain is one of the most common complaints treated by physicians. Nearly four out of five people wil experience back pain at some time in their lives. The vast majority of these cases do not have a specific identifiable cause for the pain.

Back pain can develop from such things as muscle strain, injury, overuse, muscle disorders, pressure on a nerve root, poor posture, ruptured discs, or spinal fractures. Pregnant women, smokers, construction workers, and people who perform repetitive lifting are at increased risk for back problems, which can result in chronic pain.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) Pinpoint the problem when possible. (For example, ask: What is the doctor’s diagnosis? What do you know specifically about the problem? Do you have pain? Were you in an accident?

Have you had surgery?)

1. For lower back problems, grow out the legs.

2. For pain of the middle back, grow out the arms.

3. For upper back pain, command the neck to come into proper alignment.

4. Command the pelvis to rotate into the perfect position for the spine to line up perfectly.

5. Do any or all of these as needed and repeat, if necessary.

6. Command the discs, vertebrae, muscles, ligaments, and tendons to be healed and adjusted. Be specific when possible.

7. Speak a new disc or vertebrae into the back, if necessary.

8. Command al pain to go.

BALANCE, LOSS OF

(Also see Dizziness, Vertigo, and Meniere’s Disease.) Loss of Balance may be described as lightheadedness, being unsteady, feeling faint, dizziness, or vertigo (the room seems to be spinning or moving). Lightheadedness or Loss of Balance can occur when there is not enough blood getting to the brain. This can be caused by a sudden drop in blood pressure or dehydration fol owing episodes of vomiting, diarrhea, fever, or other causes. Older people can experience this feeling if they change positions too quickly such as standing up from a lying or seated position (called Orthostatic Hypotension or Postural Hypotension). Lightheadedness often accompanies the flu, colds, allergies, motion sickness, or inner ear problems.

It can also be a side effect of some medications, such as blood pressure pil s or head injury.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Rebuke the cause of the imbalance (for example, infection, disease, loss of sleep, etc.).

2. Command the neck to come into alignment.

3. Grow out the arms.

4. Command the balance center in the inner ear to be healed and the temporal bones to rotate back into position.

BALDNESS

(Also called Alopecia.)

Partial or complete loss of hair is cal ed Alopecia. Hair loss usually occurs gradually as a person ages. Normally, an individual hair survives for an average of 4 1/2 years, grows about half an inch a month, falls out and is replaced by a new one within six months. Genetic Baldness is caused by the body’s failure to produce new hairs and not by excessive hair loss. Hair loss can be caused by damage to the hair fol icle from injury, medications, or disease such as chemotherapy for cancer.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Command healing to the hair fol icles and the blood to flow normally.

2. Command the hair be restored to normal amount.

3. Lead them in a prayer of repentance for generational curses.

BARRENNESS (See Infertility.) BED-WETTING

Involuntary passage of urine at night by children over five to six years of age is called Bedwetting. Children develop total control of their urinary bladders at different ages and nighttime dryness is usually the last stage of toilet training.

When children wet the bed more than twice per month after age five or six, we cal it Bedwetting.

Children who were dry for at least six months and then started wetting again usually have secondary underlying problems.

The problem might be physical or emotional, or just a change in sleep patterns. When the child is never dry overnight, their body is producing more urine than the bladder can hold while the child is in a deep sleep. The child’s brain does not respond to the signal that the bladder is ful during sleep. It is not the child’s or the parent’s fault.

A child with this problem wil very likely have a short leg.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Grow out the legs.

2. Command the pelvis to come into alignment.

3. Command the vertebrae in the lower back to be adjusted, the nerves to the bladder to be released, the bladder to be healed and function properly.

4. Command the brain to awaken the child when the bladder is ful .

BELL’S PALSY

Bel ’s Palsy is caused by damage to a cranial nerve and is characterized by a sudden facial drooping and a decreased ability to move some facial muscles. The cause is often not clear. It is thought that the disorder may be associated with inflammation of the facial nerve where it passes through the bones of the skul . Other conditions, such as Sarcoidosis, Diabetes, and Lyme disease, have been associated with Bel ’s Palsy and increased stress seems to aggravate the symptoms.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Cast out the spirit of Bel ’s Palsy.

2. Command the pain to go.

3. Lay hands gently on the face, commanding the nerves to be regenerated and restored to perfect function.

BIPOLAR DISORDER

(Also known as Manic-Depressive.) Bipolar Disorder (BD) is a malfunction of the brain that causes unpredictable mood swings. People with BD go from an emotional high (known as Mania) to a low (known as Depression). The disease randomly cycles between these highs and lows.

Women and men equally develop the condition usually between the ages of twenty and forty. Women spend more time in the depressed phase, while men may be manic (hyperactive) more often.

Some people with BD have symptoms their entire lives, symptoms that can interfere with work and make relationships very difficult. In mania, people may not realize how dangerous their impulsive behaviors may be to themselves or to others.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Lead them in a prayer of repentance for generational curses.

2. Lead them in a prayer of forgiveness from traumas suffered at a younger age.

3. Cast out the spirit of Bipolar Disorder.

4. Command the electrical and magnetic frequencies to be in harmony and balance.

BIRTH

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Pray for an easy delivery and a normal child.

2. Speak a blessing over a healthy, normal baby in the womb with the power of the Holy Spirit.

3. Lead parents in prayer to dedicate the child to God.

4. Command the pelvis to rotate in the perfect position for delivery.

BLADDER PROBLEMS

(See Incontinence.)

BLADDER INFECTIONS

(See Urinary Tract Infections.) BLINDNESS

Blindness is a vision loss that is not correctable with glasses.

Blindness can be partial (some objects or shapes can be distinguished) or complete (no perception of light). People with vision worse than 20/200 are considered legally blind.

Blindness has many causes. In the United States, the leading causes include diabetes, glaucoma, macular degeneration, and accidental injuries (chemical burns, bungee cords, fishing hooks, fireworks, racket balls, and similar objects). World statistics indicate the leading causes of blindness include cataracts, “river blindness,”trachoma (a contagious bacterial disease of the eye), leprosy, and vitamin A deficiency.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. If the cause is known, address it specifically (such as glaucoma, cataracts, infection, detached retina, etc.).

2. Cast out the spirit of Blindness.

3. Command healing to the eyes and perfect sight to be restored.

4. Command a creative miracle to the nerves, eye structures, and brain.

BLOOD PRESSURE PROBLEMS

Blood Pressure is a measurement of the force applied to the walls of the arteries as the heart pumps blood through the body. Blood pressure is determined by the force and amount of blood pumped by the heart as wel as the condition of the arteries (blood vessels carrying blood to the body). This pressure is affected by both the force and amount of blood pumped from the heart, and the size and flexibility of the arteries.

Blood pressure is continually changing depending on environment, activity, posture, dietary intake, temperature, emotions, physical health, disease processes, and medication use. Many other factors can affect blood pressure, including volume of liquid in the body, amount of sodium or salt in the body, kidney function, condition of the nervous system and blood vessels, arteriosclerosis, and various hormones in the body.

Problems develop from and/or can cause malfunction of other body organs when the blood pressure levels cannot return to or maintain normal levels. Ask if the doctor has diagnosed any possible underlying causes (such as diabetes, heart disease, arteriosclerosis, kidney problems, etc.).

Hypertension generally means the systolic pressure (upper number) is consistently over 140 and diastolic (lower number) blood pressure is consistently over 90. Hypertension can lead to stroke, heart attack, kidney damage, congestive heart disease, visual disturbances, severe headaches, and chest pain (angina).

Hypotension indicates blood pressure is lower than normal.

This can lead to extreme weakness, organ damage and/or shutdown, unconsciousness and death. Abnormally low blood pressure can be caused by dehydration, anemia, hemorrhage, or medication side effects.

Orthostatic Hypotension or Postural Hypotension causes dizziness, lightheadedness, a feeling of fainting, and extreme weakness when a person changes positions (a change in posture such as moving from lying down to a sitting position or from sitting to standing). A fall with serious injury can result.

This type of Hypotension is often a medication side effect.

Changing positions slowly can minimize the effects of Postural Hypotension.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Lead them in a prayer of repentance for generational curses.

2. Grow out the arms.

3. Command the entire vascular system to be healed, vessels be opened and function normally with proper elasticity and adequate blood flow.

4. Command the blood pressure to return to normal and to remain normal.

5. Command al organs and tissues damaged by the abnormal blood pressure to be healed and function normally.

6. Lead them in prayer to lay al their stress, cares, and worries on the altar of God.

BOWLEGGED

Knees and hips swing outward. A person with this problem has a “cowboy” look.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Command the pelvis to come into normal alignment.

2. Grow out the legs.

3. Command the legs to straighten.

BPH

(BENIGN PROSTATE HYPERTROPHY) (See Prostate Problems.) BRAIN DAMAGE

The brain can be damaged at birth, from il ness, injury, accident,disease (such as a stroke or a tumor), or lack of oxygen (from drowning or suffocation). Injuries to the brain and the nerves it controls causes loss of function such as decreased mentation (retardation, confusion, and memory loss), inability to control bodily functions or movement of arms and/or legs, paralysis, loss of speech, or inability to swallow safely.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Lay hands on the head commanding a creative miracle—“a new brain.”

2. Command al the nerves to function normally and any memory loss to be restored.

3. If caused by a stroke, command the spirit of death to go.

BREAST CANCER (Also see Cancer.) An abnormal mass in the breast is usually diagnosed as a lump (or tumor). This can be a benign (harmless) tumor, which can be removed easily. A malignant tumor, however, can spread to other parts of the body destroying surrounding tissues, organs, and body functions.

This abnormal growth of tissue found in a breast is called Breast Cancer, the second most common cancer affecting women in the United States. Although more common in women, Breast Cancer also can develop in men.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Curse and cast out the spirit of Cancer.

2. Lead them in prayer of repentance for generational curses.

3. Lead them in prayer of repentance for bitterness or unforgiveness, if necessary.

4. Command electrical and magnetic frequencies to come into harmony and balance.

5. Curse any prions and command them to dissolve and be discarded by the body.

6. Command al damaged tissue be restored to normal healthy function.

BROKEN BONES

A break of any size is called a fracture. If the broken bone punctures the skin, it becomes a compound fracture. A stress fracture can occur in people with osteoporosis when a weakened area of bone simply breaks during normal movement or activities of the day or from a slight bump.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Command the affected bones to come together in normal alignment and strength and be healed.

2. Command al muscles, tendons, nerves, and ligaments to line up with the healed bones and strength restored.

3. Rebuke trauma and command the pain to go.

BRONCHITIS

Bronchitis is an inflammation or infection of the main airways to the lungs (bronchus). Bronchitis may occur suddenly and last for a short time, or become chronic. To be classified as chronic, Bronchitis must cause a cough with mucus production most days of the month for three months out of the year. The disease process can change the body’s normal functioning and often recurs.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Rebuke the infection.

2. Lay hands on the upper chest and throat, commanding the tissues in the bronchial tubes and lungs to be healed and function normally.

3. Lead them in the prayer of repentance for any ungodly words spoken, if necessary.

BULIMIA

Bulimia is characterized by food binges or uncontrol able recurrent episodes of overeating. The person then uses vomiting or laxative abuse to prevent the food from staying in the body where it can be absorbed, be stored as fat, and increase body weight.

Many people with bulimia may also suffer from Anorexia Nervosa, an eating disorder involving severe weight loss that can lead to starvation.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Lead them in prayer of repentance for their rebel ion at adolescence.

2. Have them renounce the words spoken in rebel ion.

3. Speak healing to areas of the body damaged by the abnormal eating behaviors.

BUNIONS

Bunions are often caused by narrow-toed, high-heeled, or il -

fitting shoes. The pressure against the big toe pushes it toward the second toe. This causes a marked protrusion at the base of the big toe. The condition may become painful as extra bone grows at the base of the big toe with a fluid build up over the area. This leads to swel ing, increased pressure, and pain.

Found more frequently in women, Bunions sometimes run in families.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Lead them in a prayer of repentance for generational curses.

2. Rebuke the inflammation.

3. Grow out the legs.

4. Command the toe and bones to go back into place, the ligaments to strengthen and for the foot to be normal.

BURSITIS

Bursitis is an acute or chronic inflammation of the fluid-fil ed cushions that lie between tendons and bones. These fluid-fil ed sacs (called bursa) assist movement and reduce friction between moving parts. Bursitis can develop from chronic overuse, trauma, rheumatoid arthritis, or infection. Bursitis most commonly occurs in the shoulder, knee, elbow, and hip.

The Achil es tendon and the foot may also be affected.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Cast out the spirit of Bursitis.

2. Lead them in a prayer of forgiveness, if necessary.

3. Lay hands on the area and command all inflammation and pain to go.

4. Command the tissues to be healed, and normal fluid be produced for painless movements of the joints.

CANCER

(Also see Breast Cancer,

Tumor, Colorectal Cancer, and Leukemia.) Cancer is the uncontrol ed growth of abnormal cel s that have mutated from normal tissues within the body. These abnormal cel s can kil when the normal function of vital organs is interrupted. They can spread throughout the body, damaging and destroying essential systems. Cancer develops from normal cel s from almost any organ or tissue of the body including the lung, colon, breast, skin, bones, or nerves. There are numerous types of diseases categorized as Cancer, which affect people of all ages.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Curse the root of the cancer cel s and cast out the spirit of cancer.

2. Lead them in a prayer of repentance for generational curses.

3. Lead them in prayer of repentance for bitterness or unforgiveness, if necessary.

4. Command electrical and magnetic frequencies to come into harmony and balance.

5. Curse any prions and command them to dissolve and be absorbed by the body.

6. Command the body’s defensive “kil er” cel s to multiply, attack, and destroy al cancer cel s.

7. Command healing to any damaged tissues and organs and normal function be restored.

CANDIDA ALBICANS

(Also called Yeast Infection.) Yeast is an important and necessary part of the digestive process within the body. However, under certain circumstances, it can overgrow and cause problems. It is then considered a form of infection. A fungal (yeast) infection that affects the mucus membranes of the body is generally the cause of vaginal infections. It is aggravated by sugar intake and is the cause of thrush (a form of Candida) in newborns. It is also aggravated or exacerbated by antibiotics, birth control pil s, and/or steroid usage. It can occur on external areas of the body that are dark, warm, and moist. Usually found in women, Candida can also affect men.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Rebuke the infection.

2. Command the body’s systems to be restored to normal function and yeast levels to be normal.

3. Lead them in a prayer of repentance to break word curses.

CANKER SORES

Canker sores are ulcers found in the mouth and around the lips. They are NOT contagious. The cause may be related to a virus, a weakened immune system (for example, from a cold or the flu), hormonal changes, mechanical irritation, stress, or low levels of vitamin B-12.

Women seem to get Canker Sores more often than men.

Mouth sores can be a sign of an underlying il ness, tumor, allergic reaction, or effects from a medication.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Rebuke any infection or virus and curse the root.

2. Command the immune system to be strengthened and to function properly.

3. Command the electrical and magnetic frequencies to be in harmony and balance.

4. Command al pain and discomfort to disappear.

5. Command al affected tissues to be healed and function normally.

CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is a compression of a nerve at the wrist, which may result in numbness, tingling, weakness, or muscle atrophy (shrinking) in the hand and fingers. When the wrist is poorly positioned, the nerve that passes through the “Carpal Tunnel” passageway from the arm to the hand is pinched. Any swel ing or irritation in this area can cause compression of the nerve. This interruption of the nerve function hinders the sensation and movement of the hand.

The condition occurs most often in people over thirty and is more common in women than men. This syndrome is common in people who perform repetitive motions of the hand and wrist, such as typing. Associated conditions include pregnancy, premenstrual syndrome (PMS), and menopause probably because hormonal changes can cause fluid retention and swel ing of the tissues.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Lay hands on the wrist area and command the tissues, tendons, and ligaments in the wrist to be healed and relaxed.

2. Command the “tunnel” to open up and pressure on the nerves to be released.

3. Command normal circulation and strength to be restored.

4. Command any numbness and tingling to leave and the wrist to be healed and to function normally.

CATARACTS

The lens of an eye is normally clear. If the lens becomes cloudy, the condition is known as a Cataract. Cataracts can progress or “grow” until total blindness occurs. They are removed surgical y.

Adult Cataracts usually develop with advancing age, may run in families, and are accelerated by environmental factors such as smoking or exposure to other toxic substances. They may develop after an eye injury. Metabolic diseases such as diabetes increase the risk for Cataracts. Congenital Cataracts may be inherited and are present at or shortly after birth.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Lay hands on eyes and command the cataracts to dissolve.

2. Command the blood and fluid to flow through the eye layers normally.

3. Lead them in a prayer of repentance for generational curses.

CEREBRAL PALSY

(Also called CP or Spastic Paralysis.) Cerebral Palsy is a group of neurological disorders characterized by loss of control of movements or nerve functions. These disorders are caused by injuries to the portion of the brain that is involved with higher mental faculties, sensations, and voluntary muscle activities.

The injury occurs during fetal development or near the time of birth. Initially, Cerebral Palsy was thought to be related to lack of oxygen to the brain at birth, but it has now been shown that this is an uncommon cause of Cerebral Palsy. Affected brain areas receive lower levels of oxygen at some point, but the exact cause has not been identified. A form of Cerebral Palsy can also occur with brain damage after an il ness or injury.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Cast out the spirit of Cerebral Palsy.

2. Speak a new brain into the body.

3. Command normal communication from the brain to the other body parts.

4. Command the muscles, tendons, and nerves to function properly.

5. Lead them in a prayer of repentance for generational curses.

CHOLESTEROL, HIGH

(Also called Hyperlipidemia.) Cholesterol is a substance found in all parts of the body tissues of both humans and animals. Cal ed a lipid (blood fat), it is manufactured in the liver for normal body functions including the production of hormones, bile, and Vitamin D. The blood transports cholesterol to al parts of the body.

Sufficient cholesterol is actually made by the liver for the body’s needs. Cholesterol is found in foods from animal sources such as eggs, meat, poultry, and dairy products.

Excessive intake of saturated fats (that turn to cholesterol) can damage one’s health. High Cholesterol levels can contribute to the development of Arteriosclerosis, which can lead to disorders such as stroke and heart attack. (Also see Arteriosclerosis.)

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Lead them in pray of repentance for improper diet, if necessary.

2. Command the cholesterol level to return to normal and the body to retain only the necessary amount.

3. Lay hands on the person’s head, commanding al potentially damaged parts of the body (arteries, heart, etc.) to be healed and to function normally.

CHRONIC OBSTRUCTIVE

PULMONARY DISEASE

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a group of lung diseases characterized by abnormal airflow and varying degrees of air sac changes, airway inflammation, and lung tissue destruction.

The leading cause of COPD is smoking, which often leads to the two most common forms of this disease: Emphysema (enlarged air sacs of the lung, and reduced lung tissue elasticity) and Chronic Bronchitis (lung inflammation, air sac destruction, and narrowed airways).

Other risk factors for COPD are secondhand smoke and working in a pol uted environment. Occupational Lung Disease (Asbestosis, Silicosis, and Coal Miner’s disease) are other forms of COPD. The degree of airway obstruction and the amount of tissue damage in the lung passages determine the severity of the il ness.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Curse the root of the disease.

2. Lead them in a prayer of repentance, if necessary. (For smoking, see Addictions)

3. Command total healing to al damaged tissues of the respiratory system and normal function be restored.

4. Command new lungs, if necessary.

CIGARETTES

(See Addictions.)

CLEFT LIP/CLEFT PALATE

Cleft Lip and/or Cleft Palate are abnormalities of the upper lip, and the hard and soft palate of the mouth and are present from before birth. These developmental abnormalities may range from a smal notch in the upper lip to a complete opening extending into the roof of the mouth and nose. These malformations may occur separately or together.

Cleft Lip and Cleft Palate may be seen in association with other birth defects or syndromes. There are numerous causes for these birth defects, including mutant genes, drugs, viruses, or other toxins that can cause abnormal fetal development. As wel as being disfiguring, these abnormalities can cause feeding difficulties, speech development problems, and recurrent ear infections.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Lead then in a prayer of repentance for generational curses.

2. Lay hands on the mouth, commanding a creative miracle with all the tissues and affected structures to be normal.

3. Command any pain to go.

COLD SORES

(See Herpes.)

COLDS

(See also Sore Throat, Influenza, Croup, and Laryngitis.) A common Cold is an infection of the upper respiratory tract. It includes symptoms of runny nose, sore throat, cough, watery eyes, sneezing, congestion, and a fever less than 102 degrees F. Any one of more than 200 viruses can cause a common cold.

Most adults wil have a common cold two to four times a year while children may have a common cold as many as eight to ten times a year.

In adults or children, a common Cold that does not resolve readily may lead to Sinusitis, Croup, Otitis Media (ear infection), or Laryngitis. Other secondary infections that may develop fol owing a common Cold include Strep Throat, Chronic Bronchitis, and/or Pneumonia. A Cold may also be referred to as an Upper Respiratory Infection.

Adults may simply have a Cold with Laryngitis, but children can develop Croup.

Croup is an inflammation of the voice box (larynx) and the airway just beneath it. A child may have a common cold for several days and then unexpectedly develop a loud, barking cough. The swel ing and narrowing of the air passages makes breathing difficult. Croup primarily affects younger and smal er children because their smal airways are more susceptible to narrowing when inflamed.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Rebuke the infection and curse the root of it.

2. Command the immune system to be strengthened and to function properly.

3. Command the electrical and magnetic frequencies to be in harmony and balance.

4. Command al pain and discomfort to disappear.

5. Command al affected tissues to be healed and function normally.

COLITIS

Colitis is an inflammation of the large intestine that can be caused by many different disease processes including acute and chronic infections, inflammatory disorders (such as ulcerative colitis or Crohn’s disease), interruption or lack of blood flow, and/or a history of radiation to the large bowel.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Grow out the legs (do the leg adjustment).

2. Command the nerves, tissues, and muscles of the colon to function normally.

3. Command al inflammation to leave and the colon to be healed.

4. Lead them in a prayer to lay all cares, stress, and worries on the altar of God.

COLORECTAL CANCER

(Also see Cancer, Tumor.) The colon and rectum are part of the large intestine (large bowel). Colon and rectal cancers, sometimes referred to as “Colorectal Cancer,” develop from the lining of the large intestine. When cancer starts on the surface lining of an organ like the large intestine, it is called a carcinoma.

Other types of colon cancer include lymphoma, carcinoid tumors, melanoma, and sarcomas. Even though Colorectal Cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths, this disease is entirely treatable if caught early by regular examinations. There is no single cause for colon cancer.

However, many colon cancers begin as benign polyps and then eventually develop into cancer.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Curse the root of the cancer cel s and cast out the spirit of cancer.

2. Lead them in a prayer of repentance for generational curses.

3. Lead them in a prayer for repentance for bitterness or unforgiveness, if necessary.

4. Command electrical and magnetic frequencies to come into harmony and balance.

5. Curse any prions and command them to dissolve and be discarded by the body.

6. Command the body’s defensive “kil er” cel s to multiply, attack, and destroy al cancer cel s.

7. Command al damaged tissues to be healed and to function normally.

COMA

A Coma is a state of deep unconsciousness. Causes can include intoxication (drug, alcohol, or toxin), metabolic abnormalities, seizure activity such as epilepsy, head injury, shock, lack of oxygen, and low blood pressure. Unusual and unexpected episodes of decreased consciousness, unconsciousness, and Coma require prompt medical attention and professional evaluation.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Cast out the spirit of death of brain cel s.

2. Lay hands on the head, commanding the brain to be healed.

3. Command a creative miracle to any damaged brain tissue (brain tissue wil not regenerate on its own).

4. Command the body and all its organs to function normally and consciousness to return.

CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE (CHF) (See Heart.)

CONSTIPATION

Constipation refers to the passing of infrequent or difficult bowel movements. Constipation may cause pain during the passage of a bowel movement, includes the inability to pass a bowel movement after straining or pushing for more than ten minutes, or no bowel movements for several days. Infants may go seven days without a stool if they are exclusively breastfed; however, this is uncommon.

Constipation is most often caused by a low-fiber diet, lack of physical activity, and/or not drinking enough water. Stress and travel can also contribute to constipation or changes in bowel habits.

Diseases of the bowel (such as irritable bowel syndrome or Crohn’s disease), pregnancy, certain medical conditions, mental health problems, neurological diseases, high stress, or medications may contribute to constipation.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Command the colon to function normally.

2. Lead them in a prayer of repentance, if necessary.

3. Lead them in a prayer of repentance for improper diet, if necessary.

4. Lead them in prayer to lay al cares, stress, fears and worries on the altar of God.

CORNS and CALLUSES

Corns and Calluses are thickened layers of skin caused by repeated pressure or friction. A Corn is thickened skin on the top or side of a toe, usually from shoes that do not fit properly. Corns can be very painful when touched.

A Callus is thickened skin on your hands or the soles of your feet. The thickening of the skin is a protective reaction to prevent skin breakdown from repeated friction to the area.

Both Calluses and Corns can be removed by a qualified Podiatrist, but can recur.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Lay hands on the affected area, commanding the Corns and Calluses to fall off and not return.

2. Command the Callus be replaced by healthy tissue.

CROHN’S DISEASE

Crohn’s Disease is a chronic autoimmune disease that can affect any part of the gastrointestinal tract but most commonly occurs in the area where the smal and large intestine meet. In Crohn’s Disease, rogue immune cel s attack the gastrointestinal system. The cause is unknown.

Inflammation may affect any area of the digestive tract. As a result of the immune attack, the intestinal wall becomes thick, and deep ulcers may form. This can lead to severe pain and obstruction.

The disease may occur at any age, but adolescents and young adults are at the highest risk. Because of the debilitating effects of this disease, some people elect to have a portion of the bowel removed and live with a colostomy the rest of their lives.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Cast out the spirit of Crohn’s disease.

2. Rebuke the infection.

3. Command the bowel tissue to be healed and function normally.

4. Lead them in a prayer of repentance for generational curses.

5. Command the immune system to function normally.

CROSS-EYED or WALLEYED

(Also called Strabismus.) A deviation of the alignment of one eye in relation to the other is called Strabismus. Because of the lack of coordination between the eyes or uneven development of the muscles that control eye movements, the eyes look in different directions and do not focus at the same time on a single object. The cause is unknown and is usual y present at or shortly after birth.

When the two eyes fail to focus on the same object, the brain can ignore the input from one eye. If this is allowed to continue, the eye that the brain ignores wil never function normally. When the eyes look outward, it is called Walleyed.

When they look inward, it is cal ed Cross-eyed.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Place your hands over the eyes and command the muscles, ligaments, and tissues to be healed and return to normal strength and length.

2. Lead them in a prayer of repentance for generational curses.

3. Command the brain to function normally and process the input from both eyes.

4. Command any scar tissue to be removed.

CROUP (See Cold.)

CUSHING’S SYNDROME

Cushing’s Syndrome is a metabolic disorder that is caused by elevated levels of an important hormone over an extended period of time. Adrenal tumors, which may be benign or malignant, can be a cause of the elevated levels of this hormone.

Other causes of Cushing’s Syndrome can include a pituitary tumor, another malfunctioning organ of the body, or regular use of steroids such as prednisone which is commonly used to treat chronic conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and COPD.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Cast out the spirit of Cushing’s Syndrome.

2. Lay hands on the kidney area of the back (approximately at waist level) commanding the adrenal glands to function normally.

3. Lead them in a prayer of repentance, if necessary.

CVA or Cardiovascular Accident (See Stroke.) CYSTIC DISEASE

This condition affects women, usually near or at menopause; and is characterized by a rapid development of cysts in the breasts. It is also called fibrocystic disease or cystic mastitis.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Cast out the spirit of fibrocystic disease.

2. Lay hands on chest, commanding al the cysts to dissolve.

(Have the person lay their hands on their chest first, then lay your hands on top of theirs.) 3. Command al the cel s and tissues of the breast to be healed and normal, and a creative miracle for any damaged parts.

CYSTIC FIBROSIS

Cystic Fibrosis is an inherited disease that causes breathing and digestive problems. It affects the mucus and sweat glands as wel .

Thick mucus formed in the breathing passages of the lungs increases the risk for chronic lung infections. Many pancreatic enzymes involved in the metabolism and usage of fat in the intestines are absent. Inadequate absorption of nutrients from the intestinal tract leads to malnutrition.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Lead them in a prayer of repentance for generational curses.

2. Cast out the spirit of Cystic Fibrosis.

3. Lay hands on the area of the pancreas and liver, commanding the glands of the body to secrete enzymes normally and metabolism to return to normal.

4. Command the lungs, pancreas, and liver to be healed and function normally.

DEAF-MUTE

A person who can neither hear nor speak is said to be a Deaf-Mute. Since these conditions limit learning capacity, these people may seem to be mentally challenged, as wel . Helen Kel er was both deaf and mute, but is wel known for her remarkable accomplishments after her specialized education.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Cast out the deaf and dumb spirit.

2. Continue with the instructions for Deafness.

3. Lead them in a prayer of repentance for generational curses.

DEAFNESS

Deafness (hearing loss) is the inability to hear sound adequately in one or both ears. A small decrease in hearing is normal after age twenty. There are many causes of hearing loss. Conductive loss occurs because of a mechanical problem, such as fluid in the ear or a broken eardrum. Nerve loss occurs when the nerve from the ear to the brain is damaged and cannot communicate impulses or sounds.

Conductive loss is often medical y reversible—nerve loss is not.

Ear infections are the most common cause of temporary hearing loss in children. Fluid can linger in the ear fol owing an ear infection. Although this fluid can go unnoticed, it can cause significant hearing problems in children. Excessive wax buildup in the ear canal can block sound and simulate a hearing loss. Listening to very loud music over a period of time can damage these structures and nerves also.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Cast out the spirit of Deafness.

2. Put your fingers gently in the person’s ears and command the deafness to go and hearing to be restored.

3. Grow out their arms (do the arm adjustment).

4. Command a new eardrum and bone structures, if needed.

5. Command the nerves and muscles to relax, releasing the nerves to the ears and allowing the blood to flow normally into the area.

Command the hair-like nerves to the inner ear to function normally.

6. Place the hands on the sides of the skul and command the temporal bones to rotate back into position.

7. Test the person’s hearing and repeat the above steps, if necessary.

DEEP VEIN THROMBOSIS

(Also called DVT.)

Deep Venous Thrombosis describes a blood clot (thrombus) that has developed in a large vein located deep within a leg or thigh. The blood clot interferes with the circulation of the area causing swel ing, pain, and damage to the surrounding tissues.

It can travel through the blood stream until it lodges in the brain, lungs, heart, or other areas, causing severe complications such as a stroke or heart attack.

Thrombophlebitis is another term used in this category although it can occur in small veins also. Thrombophlebitis means an irritation or inflammation within the blood vessel caused by a thrombus (blood clot).

Risks include prolonged sitting, bed rest or immobilization such as long plane or car trips, recent surgery, childbirth within the last six months, and the use of medications such as birth control pil s.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Command the blood clot to dissolve.

2. Command the blood to flow properly and all damaged tissues to be healed and function normally.

3. Lead them in a prayer of repentance for generational curses.

DEGENERATIVE JOINT DISEASE

(See Osteoarthritis.)

DEPRESSION

(See also Postpartum Depression.) Depression may be described as feeling sad, blue, unhappy, miserable, or “down in the dumps.” Most of us feel this way at one time or another for short periods. Clinical Depression is a mood disorder in which feelings of sadness, loss, anger, or frustration interfere with everyday life over an extended period of time.

Depression can be mild, moderate, or severe and last from a few hours or days to years. Some symptoms can include insomnia, excessive sleeping, a dramatic change in appetite, fatigue, lack of energy, agitation, restlessness, irritability, inactivity, withdrawal from usual activities, feelings of hopelessness, and recurring thoughts of death or suicide.

Low self-esteem is common with Depression. So are sudden bursts of anger and lack of pleasure from activities that normally cause joy or happiness. It is usually a stressful, unhappy, traumatic life event that triggers the onset of a depressive episode.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Take your time and love them with the love of the Lord.

2. If possible, identify the cause and when it started.

3. Lead them in a prayer of repentance or forgiveness, if necessary.

4. Command the electrical and magnetic frequencies to be in harmony and balance.

5. With your hand on their heart, command the spirit of Depression to go.

6. Speak peace and joy to them.

DERMATITIS

(Also see Eczema.)

Dermatitis is an inflammation of the skin.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Rebuke the infection or irritation.

2. Command the itching to stop.

3. Command cel s that manufacture skin to create new and healthy tissue.

DETACHED RETINA

Retinal Detachment is a separation of the light-sensitive tissue membrane in the back of the eye from the eye’s underlying layers.

This transparent membrane at the back of the eye processes visual images focused on it by the cornea and the lens and communicates what is seen to the brain. Retinal Detachment can be caused by trauma, the aging, diabetes, or an inflammation, but it can occur spontaneously. Initially, it severely limits central vision leaving peripheral vision only; however it can lead to irreversible blindness.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Lay hands on the eye(s) and command the retina and its nerve endings to reconnect to the eye and be healed.

2. Command the eye to function normally and eyesight to be restored to normal.

DIABETES MELLITUS

Diabetes is a disease marked by high levels of sugar (or glucose) in the bloodstream. It can be caused by too little insulin produced by the pancreas to regulate blood sugar, resistance to insulin, or both.

Glucose is a form of sugar ingested with food and fluids. It is absorbed during digestion and is delivered by the blood to al the cel s of the body. The pancreas produces insulin to regulate the amount of glucose in the bloodstream. Al body cel s require a certain level of glucose to maintain their normal function.

People with Diabetes have high, uncontrol ed blood glucose levels.

Left uncontrol ed, Diabetes can contribute to blindness, kidney disease, neuropathy (numbness and pain in al extremities), and circulation problems. If the levels are too high or too low, death can result.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Cast out the spirit of diabetes.

2. Lead them in a prayer of repentance for generational curses.

3. Command a new pancreas into the body that wil produce enough insulin to control and use blood sugar normally.

4. Command any damaged body parts (from excess sugar) to be healed and made whole.

DIARRHEA

Diarrhea is the frequent passing of loose, watery bowel movements. Diarrhea is considered chronic when loose or frequent stools have occurred for longer than four weeks.

The most common cause is a mild viral infection that can resolve spontaneously within a few days. This is often called “stomach flu” and can appear in mini-epidemics in schools, neighborhoods or families. It is often passed from person to person. Hand washing after toileting can diminish the risk.

Uncontrol ed diarrhea can lead to severe dehydration, metabolic imbalances, and rectal bleeding. Uncontrol ed diarrhea in smal children can be fatal.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Command the pelvis to come into alignment.

2. Command digestive system to be healed and to function normally.

3. Rebuke any possible infection.

DISC PROBLEMS

(Also see Back Problems.) This is commonly cal ed “slipped disc.” The disc (or cushion) between two vertebrae (bones in the spine) has either deteriorated or is bulging out, pressing on a nerve and causing discomfort and pain.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Minister as you would for Back Pain and command the disc to be restored, be healed, and recreated if necessary; command all pressure on the nerves to be released and all inflammation and swel ing to go.

2. Command the vertebrae to be healed, rotated back into place, bones to come together if fractured, ribs to be healed and go back into place and all pain to leave.

DIVERTICULOSIS/DIVERTICULITIS

Small bulging areas of the inner lining of the intestine (cal ed Diverticula) can develop in any part of the bowel. Diverticulosis indicates the presence of Diverticula. Diverticulitis is an inflammation of these sacs, bulges, or pouches of the intestinal wall. It can cause severe abdominal pain, fever, constipation, or perforation (a hole through the colon lining). If the perforation is large, stool in the colon can leak into the abdominal cavity causing a very serious, life threatening condition.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Command the pelvis to come into proper alignment.

2. Command the sacs to disappear and the bowel wall to return to normal strength and function.

3. Lead them in a prayer of repentance and place all their stress, worries, and cares on the altar of God.

4. Command infection to go and tissues to be totally healed.

DIZZINESS (Also see Vertigo.) Dizziness is a common neurological symptom. The most common form of severe Dizziness is known as Vertigo. This term describes a sensation of motion when there is no motion or an exaggerated sense of motion in response to certain body movements.

Both symptoms are linked to inner ear disturbances as wel as a variety of other il nesses. The sensation of Dizziness is frequently accompanied by other symptoms such as unsteadiness, anxiety, lightheadedness, and loss of balance.

The causes range from infections to fatigue to al ergies. A common description may be “My head is spinning.” It can also be a symptom of a low heart rate, low blood pressure, or medication side effects.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Command the electrical and magnetic frequencies to be in harmony and in balance.

2. Command the fluid in the inner ear to return to normal.

3. Command normal balance to return and any underlying causes to disappear.

DJD (Degenerative Joint Disease. See Osteoarthritis.) DOWN SYNDROME

Down Syndrome is a chromosome abnormality, usually due to an extra copy of the 21st chromosome. This syndrome can result in abnormal body function development.

Children with Down Syndrome have a widely recognized and characteristic appearance. The head may be smal er than normal with abnormally shaped facial features including a flattened nose, protruding tongue, and upward slanting eyes.

The hands are short and broad with short fingers and a single crease in the palm. Retardation of normal growth and development is typical and most affected children do not reach average adult height.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Cast out the spirit of Down Syndrome.

2. Lay hands on the person’s head and command a new brain.

3. Command the cel s to revert to the correct number of chromosomes and for the extra chromosome to go.

4. Command the body to be healed and function normally.

5. Command the facial features to be normal.

DROWNING

Drowning is death by suffocation from being immersed in liquid. The lack of oxygen causes the lungs and heart to stop functioning. After a few minutes without oxygen, brain damage occurs and death can fol ow. Immediate resuscitation can minimize permanent damage and prevent death.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Cast out the spirit of death.

2. Command the liquid to come out of the lungs.

3. Command life to the body.

4. Command the brain and body to function normally and be totally healed.

DRY EYES

Dry Eyes are caused by a lack of tears, the clear liquid necessary for the lubrication of the eye. Tears wash away foreign particles. People with Dry Eyes wil feel a burning, scratching, or stinging sensation. Dry Eyes can lead to tiny abrasions on the surface of the eyes.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Command any blockage or abnormality to be gone and healing to take place.

2. Command the glands to produce normal amounts of fluid to keep the eyes healthy.

DUCK FEET

Feet turned excessively outward.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Lead them in a prayer of repentance for generational curses.

2. Command the pelvic bones to adjust to proper position.

3. Command the hips, legs, and feet to return to normal position and be totally healed.

DYSLEXIA

Developmental Reading Disorder, also cal ed Dyslexia, is a reading disability. People with this problem cannot process graphic symbols.

Also called DRD, it is not caused by vision problems, but rather is a problem involving higher brain functions. Children with DRD may have trouble rhyming, separating sounds in spoken words, and learning to read.

Most children found with DRD have normal if not above average intel igence. Children with DRD may also have developmental writing disorder and/or developmental arithmetic disorder. All of these areas of thinking involve the manipulation of symbols to convey information.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Command the nerves of the eyes to function normally and to send proper messages to the brain.

2. Lead them in a prayer of repentance for generational curses.

3. Command the brain to interpret the signals received and allow complete understanding.

EAR INFECTION

(See Otitis Media.)

ECZEMA

(Also see Dermatitis.)

Eczema is a chronic skin disorder, a form of dermatitis. It manifests as scaly and itchy rashes. People with Eczema often have a family history of allergic conditions. The inflammation and chronic irritation and scratching causes the skin to thicken and become leathery. Environmental irritants, dryness of the skin, exposure to water, temperature changes, and stress can all exacerbate the symptoms.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Cast out the spirit of Eczema.

2. Command the inflammation to go and curse the infirmity.

3. Lead them in a prayer of repentance for generational curses.

4. Command the cel s that manufacture skin to replace the damaged tissues, and the skin to return to normal structure, function, and texture.

5. Command the itching to go.

EDEMA

Edema or swel ing can occur anywhere in the body. Swel ing is a normal body response to an injury but should disappear as healing occurs (such as a sprained ankle). Edema can be a symptom of a chronic and progressive medical il ness such as Congestive Heart Failure. It is caused by excessive buildup of fluid in the tissues that causes a rapid increase in weight over a short period of time. This swel ing can be generalized (all over the body) or localized (legs and feet).

Lymphedema is a persistent swel ing, a form of edema resulting from the interruption or loss of normal lymph drainage of the affected arm or leg. It can occur as a result of a mastectomy (removal of a breast) when numerous lymph nodes are also removed. This interruption of the lymph drainage system causes a backup of lymph fluid into the arm, which, in turn, causes a severely enlarged arm and hand. It can occur in all limbs, is difficult to treat, and can be severely debilitating.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Command healing for any underlying disease.

2. Command that the involved organs or tissues be healed and function normally.

3. Command the fluid to pass out through the body.

4. Lead them in a prayer of repentance, if necessary.

5. Lead them in a prayer of repentance for generational curses.

EMPHYSEMA

(Also see COPD.)

Emphysema is a lung condition that involves damage to the air sacs of the lungs. The air sacs are unable to completely empty and are therefore unable to refil with fresh air to ensure adequate oxygen supply to the body. Tobacco smoke and other pol utants release chemicals that damage the walls of the air sacs within the lungs. This damage becomes worse over time affecting the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the lungs. Cigarette smoking is the most common cause of Emphysema.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Lead them in a prayer of repentance from smoking, if necessary.

(See Addiction.)

2. Command a creative miracle: “a new set of lungs.”

3. Command other damaged body tissue to be healed and function normally.

ENCEPHALITIS

Encephalitis is an inflammation, irritation, and swel ing of the brain usually caused by a viral infection. Exposure to the virus can occur through insect bites, contaminated food or drink, inhaling respiratory droplets from an infected person, or skin contact. The inflammation can cause neurological or mental deterioration, confusion, or coma. It can be fatal.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Rebuke the infection.

2. Command the swel ing to go and the brain to be healed, restored, and function normally.

3. Pray for the neck to come into proper alignment.

4. Command the blood to flow normally within the brain.

ENDOMETRIOSIS

(See Female Problems.)

END-STAGE RENAL DISEASE

(See Kidney Failure.)

ENLARGED PROSTATE

(See Prostate Problems.)

EPILEPSY

Epilepsy is a brain disorder characterized by periodic loss or impairment of consciousness often accompanied by convulsions or seizures. These episodes of disturbed brain function are caused by abnormal electrical discharges through the nerves in the brain. They usually last short periods of time and occasionally are undetected.

Epileptic seizures can be related to drugs, abnormal levels of sodium or glucose, head injury, or inherited abnormality.

Often, the condition can be triggered by flashing lights.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Cast out the spirit of Epilepsy.

2. Command the electrical and magnetic frequencies to be in harmony and balance.

3. Lead them in a prayer of repentance when necessary.

4. Command new brain tissues to develop and work normally.

7. Command the electrical and magnetic frequencies to be in harmony and balance.

ENDOMETRIOSIS

Endometriosis is a condition in which the endometrium, tissue that normally lines the uterus, grows in other areas of the body causing pain, irregular bleeding, and infertility. The tissue growth typical y occurs in the pelvic area, outside of the uterus, on the ovaries, bowel, rectum, bladder, or the lining of the pelvis, but it can occur in other areas of the body as wel .

The cause of endometriosis is unknown. The scarring and adhesions that result from this disease process can cause infertility.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Lead them in a prayer of repentance for generational curses.

2. Command the female organs to function normally.

3. Command the pelvis to come into proper alignment.

4. Command the extra tissues and scarring to dissolve.

FIBROID TUMORS

Fibroids are benign (noncancerous) tumors of the uterus.

Unpredictable in size and behavior, fibroids can be as tiny as a pencil point or as large as a grapefruit, growing slowly or rapidly, either alone or in groups. As the tumors grow, women experience symptoms such as heavy menstrual periods; breakthrough bleeding; pelvic or abdominal pain and pressure; backache; constipation; bladder pressure; and urinary incontinence, frequency, or retention.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Command the pain and cramping to cease.

2. Command the spirit causing the tumor(s) to go.

3. Command the tumor cel s to die and dissolve.

4. Command the pelvis to come into proper alignment.

5. Command the tissues of the reproductive organs be restored to normal function and be totally healed.

MENOPAUSE

Menopause is the transition period of a woman’s life when the ovaries stop producing eggs, her body produces less estrogen and progesterone, and menstruation becomes less frequent, eventually stopping altogether. A natural event that normally occurs between the ages of 45 and 55, once Menopause is complete (called postmenopausal), a woman can no longer become pregnant.

The symptoms of Menopause are caused by changes in estrogen and progesterone levels. A gradual decrease of estrogen generally allows the body to slowly adjust to these hormonal changes. When estrogen drops suddenly (as when the ovaries are removed surgically), symptoms can be more severe. Hot and cold flashes, sensitivity to heat or cold, and emotional or behavior changes are but a few of the unpleasant symptoms women go through during Menopause.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Command all the symptoms (hot flashes, sweats, etc.) to go.

2. Command the hormones to be in balance.

3. Command the electrical and magnetic frequencies to be in harmony and balance.

4. Lead them in a prayer of repentance for generational curses.

5. Command the pelvis to come into alignment.

Menstrual Pain

(Dysmenorrhea.)

Menstruation can be accompanied by sharp, intermittent or dul , aching pain usually in the pelvis or lower abdomen.

Painful Menstruation affects many women and can cause difficulty with normal household, job, or school-related activities during the menstrual cycle.

Although some discomfort during Menstruation can be normal, excessive pain is not. Dysmenorrhea refers to Menstrual Pain severe enough to limit normal activities or to require some form of medication. Menstrual Pain may be accompanied by nausea, vomiting, constipation, or diarrhea.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Lead them in a prayer of repentance for generational curses.

2. Command the pelvis to go into alignment.

3. Command the hormones to be in balance.

4. Command al pain to leave.

PREMENSTRUAL SYNDROME (PMS) Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS) involves symptoms that occur in relation to the menstrual cycle that can interfere with normal life activities. These symptoms can begin at ovulation and usually subside when menstruation begins. PMS affects most women during their childbearing years. It is thought that the change in hormone levels cause the symptoms, which can include mood swings, behavior changes, and/or physical discomfort such as bloating, constipation, diarrhea, headaches, migraines, and back pain.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Lead them in a prayer of repentance for generational curses.

2. Command the hormones to be in balance.

3. Command the electrical and magnetic frequencies to be in harmony and balance.

4. Command the spirit of PMS to leave.

5. Command the ligaments to lengthen and pelvis to open to alleviate the pressure.

PROLAPSED UTERUS

Displacement of the uterus from its normal position in the lower abdomen into the vaginal canal is cal ed a Prolapsed Uterus.

Weakening of the lower abdominal muscles and ligaments associated with normal aging and a reduction in the female hormone estrogen allows the uterus to descend into the vaginal canal. Obesity, excessive coughing from lung/breathing problems, and chronic constipation can cause weakness in these muscles also.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Command the muscles and ligaments around the uterus to strengthen, and the uterus to go back into place and function normally.

2. Command the pelvis to go into alignment.

3. Command the hormones to be in balance.

4. Lead them in a prayer for repentance, if necessary.

FIBROMYALGIA

Fibromyalgia is a condition characterized by widespread pain in joints, muscles, tendons, and other soft tissues. Other problems commonly associated with Fibromyalgia include fatigue, morning stiffness, sleep problems, headaches, numbness in hands and feet, depression, and anxiety.

Fibromyalgia can develop alone or be associated with other conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis or systemic lupus.

Fibromyalgia pain can mimic the symptoms that occur with arthritis. The pain is described as aching, radiating, gnawing, shooting, or burning. Affected people tend to wake up complaining of body aches and stiffness. The cause is unknown.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Cast out the spirit of Fibromyalgia.

2. Command the aches, pains, and stiffness to disappear.

3. Command the electrical and magnetic frequencies to be in harmony and balance.

4. Lead them in a prayer of repentance when necessary.

5. Lead them in a prayer to lay all stress, cares, worries, and fears on the altar of God.

FISSURE, RECTAL

This is a crack or a tear in the rectum that makes evacuation of the large bowel difficult or painful and may cause bleeding.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Lay hands on the lower back and command the tissues to be healed and fissure to close.

2. Command the pain to go.

FLOATERS or “WEBBING”

Floaters appear as specks “floating” in your vision. The specks, which are actually inside the eye, are bits of debris that appear and disappear without treatment. Described as spots or tiny threads, they are usually nothing to worry about; however, they can be a symptom of a tear in the retina of the eye.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Lay hands on the eyes, commanding the blood and fluid in the eyes to be restored to normal function and all foreign substances to dissolve and go.

2. Command perfect sight to be restored.

3. If necessary, lead them in a prayer of repentance.

FLU

(ALSO KNOWN AS INFLUENZA.) The Flu is a contagious infection of the nose, throat, and lungs caused by the influenza virus. Symptoms include a high fever (over 102 degrees Fahrenheit), chil s, sweats and severe fatigue. Some people have dizziness or vomiting. The virus can settle in the respiratory tract, producing additional symptoms of a cold, croup, sore throat, bronchitis, ear infection, or pneumonia. Cough and tiredness usually last for weeks after the rest of the symptoms are gone.

The Flu is spread from inhaling droplets from coughs or sneezes of an infected person, or touching a contaminated surface such as a faucet handle or phone and then touching your nose or mouth. Flu is airborne and very contagious with a short incubation period. Often infecting a community all at once, the Flu usually arrives in the winter months. Good hand washing is a key factor in stemming its spread.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Rebuke the infection and curse the root of it.

2. Command the immune system to be strengthened and to function properly.

3. Command the electrical and magnetic frequencies to be in harmony and balance.

4. Command al pain and discomfort to disappear.

5. Command al affected tissues to be healed and function normally.

GALLSTONES

Gallstones are formed within the gallbladder, an organ that stores bile, a digestive juice made in the liver. If the concentration of the bile ingredients changes, Gallstones may form. Gallstones may be as smal as a grain of sand or as large as an inch in diameter.

Gallstones often have no symptoms and are usually discovered incidentally by a routine X-ray. If a Gallstone passes into the smal bile duct, it can trigger a very painful gal bladder attack.

Surgical removal of the stones or gall bladder may be necessary.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Lay your hand over the area of the gal bladder, commanding the stones to dissolve.

2. Command the gal bladder to be healed and function normally.

GANGLION CYST

This is a hard, tumorlike swel ing fil ed with fluid; usually found on the wrist around a tendon or joint.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Lay hands on the affected area, commanding the cyst to dissolve and fluid to reabsorb into the body.

2. Command the wrist structures, bones, muscles, and tendons to go back into normal position.

3. Command the joint lining to produce proper joint fluid and blood supply to be normal.

4. Command al pressure on the nerves to go back to normal.

GASTROESOPHAGEAL REFLUX DISEASE (GERD) (Alsosee Hernia, Hiatal.) Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) is a condition in which food or liquid from the stomach backs up into the esophagus (the tube from the mouth to the stomach). This partially digested material usually contains stomach digestive acids and can irritate the esophagus causing heartburn, indigestion, and other symptoms such as middle chest discomfort.

This common condition often occurs without warning fol owing a meal. In some people, the reflux is related to a problem with the band of muscle that closes off the esophagus from the stomach. If this opening does not close properly, food and liquid can move backward into the esophagus and cause the unpleasant symptoms.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Command the muscles (sphincter) to function properly.

2. Lead them in the prayer to lay all cares, stress, and worries on the altar of God.

3. Lead them in a prayer of repentance for generational curses.

GINGIVITIS

(See Gum Disease.)

GLAUCOMA

Glaucoma means there is increased fluid pressure inside the eye, which damages the optic nerve, limits vision, and can lead to total blindness.

Increased pressure occurs when the fluid within the eye does not drain properly. The increased pressure reduces the blood supply to the optic nerve, which carries visual information from the eye to the brain. The loss of blood supply causes the nerve cel s to die and blind spots develop. Side vision is affected first, fol owed by frontal vision.

Without treatment, glaucoma can eventually cause total blindness.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Command the canals of the eyes to open and all pressure to normalize to allow fluid to flow normally.

2. Command any disease process or scar tissue to be healed and for the eyes to return to normal.

3. Command any damaged optic nerve cel s to be healed and function normally.

GLUTTONY

(See Addictions and Obesity.) GOITER

(Also see Thyroid.)

A Goiter is an enlargement of the thyroid, a gland located in the throat. A Goiter is NOT associated with inflammation or cancer.

When the thyroid gland is not able to produce enough thyroid hormone to meet the body’s requirements, the thyroid gland enlarges to overcome thyroid hormone deficiencies. Because iodine is vital to the formation of the thyroid hormone, iodized table salt in the U.S. prevents this nutritional deficiency and has decreased the incidence of Goiter.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Lead them in a prayer of repentance for generational curses.

2. Lay hands on the Goiter and command it to dissolve.

3. Command the electrical and magnetic frequencies to be in harmony and balance.

4. Command a new thyroid gland that wil function normally.

GOUT

Gout is a very painful disorder involving uric acid crystal deposits in the joints of the feet and legs. Patients with chronic Gout have repeated episodes of debilitating joint pain.

Even though the exact cause is not known, it is believed an excessive production of uric acid contributes to its development. The kidney’s reduced ability to eliminate uric acid may also be a factor.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Lay hands on the affected area and command the crystals to dissolve and tissues and bones to be healed.

2. Command the body to produce a normal amount of uric acid.

3. Lead them in a prayer of repentance for generational curses.

GUILLAIN-BARRÉ SYNDROME (Also known as GBS.) Guil ain-Barré Syndrome is a rapidly disabling disorder caused by nerve inflammation, which causes progressive muscle weakness or paralysis. As the inflammation damages portions of the nerve cel s, the creeping muscle weakness, paralysis, and sensory loss can move from the fingers and toes towards the trunk and then to the neck until total paralysis is present. Even though the damage can permanently affect nerve function, the condition can also spontaneously resolve the same way it appeared. In severe cases, the person “locked” within a nonresponsive body is conscious but cannot communicate.

This syndrome is believed to be triggered by the body’s autoimmune response to a viral or bacterial infection.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Rebuke the infection and command the spirit to go.

2. Lay hands on the person and command the nervous system to be restored and function perfectly.

3. Command any other structures that have been damaged by the paralysis to become whole.

4. Lead them in a prayer of repentance if necessary.

GUM DISEASE

(Also see Periodontitis.) Inadequate plaque removal from the teeth at the gum line can lead to inflamed gums also known as gingivitis. If the plaque is not removed with regular brushing of the teeth and dental appointments, it wil harden into what is known as tartar.

Tartar can lead to increased bleeding and a more advanced form of Gum Disease known as Periodontitis. Good mouth and tooth care can prevent Gum Disease.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Rebuke the infection.

2. Lay hands on the jawbone, commanding the tissues of the mouth to be healed and function normally.

3. Lead them in a prayer of repentance for personal dental care, if necessary.

4. Lead them in a prayer of repentance to break word curses.

HAIR LOSS

(See Baldness.)

HAMMER TOES

A Hammer Toe is a deformity of the toe in which the end of the toe is bent downward. Although a Hammer Toe usually affects the second toe, it may also affect the other toes. The affected toe appears claw-like. This condition may occur as a result of pressure from a bunion. Hammer Toes may be acquired by wearing il -fitting shoes.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Command all 26 bones in the foot to return to their normal position.

2. Command al tendons, ligaments, and muscles to return to their normal length and strength.

3. Grow out the legs and command the nerves to be restored in the spinal column.

4. Lead them in a prayer of repentance, if necessary.

HANDS

(See Arms and Hands.)

HAY FEVER

(See Allergies.)

HEADACHES

Headaches, Cluster

A Cluster Headache is a fairly common form of recurrent and often chronic headache. Cluster Headaches affect one side of the head and may be associated with tearing of the eyes and nasal congestion. They occur in clusters meaning they happen repeatedly every day at the same time for several weeks and then suddenly stop.

Although no specific cause has been found, smoking, alcohol use, glare, stress, or certain foods seem to trigger the attack.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Command the histamines and the serotonin levels to be normal and in balance.

2. Lead them in a prayer of repentance when necessary.

3. Lead them in a prayer of repentance to break word curses.

4. Command the pain to go and blood to flow properly.

5. Lead them in a prayer to lay all cares, stress, and worries on the altar of God.

6. Command the blood to come into proper pH balance.

HEADACHES, MIGRAINE

Migraine Headaches are a type of severely debilitating headache accompanied with symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, visual disturbances, or sensitivity to light and sound.

A Migraine Headache is caused by abnormal brain activity, which may be triggered by stress, foods, allergic reactions, bright lights, loud noises, certain odors or perfumes, smoking or exposure to smoke, alcohol, or caffeine. They can last from a few hours to several days.

The best prevention is to identify the trigger and avoid it.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Lead them in a prayer of repentance for generational curses.

2. Command the spirit of migraines to go.

3. Command the blood to flow properly to the brain.

4. Command the hormones to be in balance.

5. Lead them in a prayer of repentance to break word curses.

6. Command the pain to go.

7. Command the blood to come into proper pH balance.

Headache, Tension

A Headache is pain or discomfort in the head, scalp, or neck.

Most people who suffer Headaches wil improve by making lifestyle changes, learning ways to relax, and taking medications.

Tension Headaches are due to tight, contracted muscles in the shoulders, neck, scalp, and jaw. They are often related to such things as stress, depression, anxiety, overworking, not getting enough sleep, missing meals, using alcohol or street drugs, certain foods, or holding the head in one position for a long time (at a computer, microscope, or typewriter).

Tension Headaches tend to be on both sides of the head, often start at the back of the head and spread forward. The pain may feel dul or squeezing, like a tight band or vice. The shoulders, neck, or jaw may also feel tight and sore.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Command the neck to come into alignment.

2. Command the blood to flow normally and spasms of the vessels to release.

3. Cast out the spirit of Headache, if necessary.

4. Lead them in a prayer of repentance, if necessary.

5. Lead them in a prayer of repentance for generational curses.

6. Lead them in a prayer to lay all cares, stress, and worries on the altar of God.

7. Command the blood to come into proper pH balance.

HEART

This includes any problem involving the heart.

Heart Arrhythmia

An Arrhythmia is any disorder of the rhythm or heartbeat pattern. The heartbeat can be too slow, too fast, have extra beats, skip a beat, or otherwise beat irregularly.

There are numerous causes; however they are al related to an electrical dysfunction of the heart. Names of the more common specific rhythms are: Atrial Fibril ation, Bradycardia, PAT (Paroxysmal Atrial Tachycardia or PSVT), Ventricular Tachycardia, “skipped beats,” Heart Block, or “Wolf-Parkinson-White” (WPW).

Causes of Arrhythmias range from Heart Attacks, metabolic imbalance, medication side effects, lack of oxygen, high blood pressure, congenital heart defects, abnormal heart valves, lung diseases, heart stimulants such as caffeine, tobacco, or alcohol, stress or viral infections, Coronary Artery Disease, to Arteriosclerosis.

Some people have no outward symptoms. Others complain about fast or slow heart beats (palpitations), fainting, lightheadedness, dizziness, chest pain, shortness of breath, paleness, sweating, changes in the rate, rhythm, or pattern of the pulse.

Complications are serious and can be life-threatening: Angina (chest pain caused by lack of oxygen to the heart muscle), Heart Attack, Heart Failure, Stroke, and sudden death.

Heart Attack

A Heart Attack (also cal ed myocardial infarction or MI) occurs when an area of heart muscle dies or is permanently damaged because of an inadequate supply of oxygen to that area.

Most Heart Attacks are caused by a blood clot that blocks one of the coronary arteries (the blood vessels that bring blood and oxygen to the heart muscle). The plaque buildup inside the wall of a coronary artery (arteriosclerosis) triggers the formation of a blood clot, which, in turn, interrupts the flow of blood and supply of oxygen to the heart muscle causing the death of heart cel s in that area. The damaged heart muscle loses its ability to pump blood to the body and lungs.

As the damage increases, Congestive Heart Failure can develop.

Prompt treatment with medications or surgery can prevent death.

Heart, Congenital Heart Defects This refers to any defect of the heart present at birth. Heart Defects involve holes in the heart muscle that either should not be there or that should have closed after birth but didn’t.

Other defects involving the heart valves can cause numerous complications and are very often life-threatening to a baby.

They need a new heart.

Heart Disease

Heart Disease includes any disorder that affects the heart’s ability to function normally. The most common cause of Heart Disease is narrowing or blockage of the coronary arteries, which supply blood to the heart itself. This happens slowly over time. Some Heart Disease can be present at birth (congenital heart diseases).

Other causes include: hypertension, abnormal function of the heart valves, abnormal electrical rhythm of the heart, or weakening of the heart’s pumping function caused by blockage of coronary arteries, infection, or toxins.

Heart Failure

Also called Congestive Heart Failure, Heart Failure is a disorder in which the heart loses its ability to pump blood efficiently throughout the body. The heart is unable to supply the vital organs of the body with enough blood to meet the body’s demands for necessary nutrition and oxygen. Fluid then backs up into the lungs and causes breathing problems. It can also back up into other areas of the body causing problems with swel ing (edema) of the lower legs.

The term “Heart Failure” should not be confused with cardiac arrest, a situation in which the heart actually stops beating.

Heart Failure is almost always a chronic, long-term condition, although it can sometimes develop suddenly. Congestive Heart Failure can usually be control ed by medications and diet.

Heart, Valvular Heart Disease Valvular Heart Disease refers to any condition of the four heart valves: the mitral valve, aortic valve, tricuspid valve, and pulmonic valve. Such conditions include valvular regurgitation (the valve closes improperly allowing leakage of blood) and stenosis (narrowing or stiffening of a valve restricting the flow of blood). Surgical replacement is often necessary. These problems can be caused by infection or other disease processes. Numerous other body functions are affected by Valvular Heart Disease. It can lead to Congestive Heart Failure, Arrhythmias, Endocarditis (inflammation of the heart tissue), Pulmonary Edema, and cardiac arrest (heart stops beating leading to death).

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Command a creative miracle or “a new heart” into the body.

2. Cast out the spirit of death.

3. Command the electrical and magnetic frequencies to be in harmony and balance.

4. Command al the excess fluid to leave the body and breathing be normal.

5. Lead them in a prayer of repentance for lifestyle or diet, if necessary.

6. Lead them in a prayer of repentance for generational curses.

7. Command other body parts that have been affected by the heart disease/damage to be healed and function normally.

8. Lead them in a prayer of repentance to break word curses.

HEMORRHOIDS

Hemorrhoids are painful, swol en veins in the lower portion of the rectum or anus. Hemorrhoids result from increased pressure that causes the veins to bulge and expand, making them painful, particularly when sitting or passing a stool.

This condition is very common during pregnancy and after childbirth due to the excess pressure caused by carrying a child; however, the most common cause is straining during bowel movements. Hemorrhoids may result from constipation, sitting for long periods of time, and infections to the area.

Topical preparations may help control the discomfort. Surgical removal is another option.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Place hands on the lower back and command the hemorrhoids to be healed.

2. Command the blood vessels to shrink to normal size and function.

3. Rebuke pain.

4. Adjust the pelvis into proper alignment.

5. Command the nerves and muscles to be relaxed and normal.

6. Lead them in a prayer of repentance for diet, if necessary.

HEPATITIS C

Hepatitis C is an inflammation of the liver caused by the Hepatitis C virus. Hepatitis C is often detected during blood tests for a routine physical or other medical procedure. If the infection has been present for many years, the liver may be permanently scarred—a condition cal ed cirrhosis. In many cases, there may be no symptoms of the disease until cirrhosis has developed.

Hepatitis C is a blood borne virus and is often referred to as the “silent epidemic” because symptoms may not appear for years after a person is infected.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Curse the virus and command the spirit to leave.

2. Lead them in a prayer of repentance, if necessary.

3. Command a creative miracle of a new liver if it is damaged.

4. Command the electrical and magnetic frequencies to be in harmony and in balance.

HERNIA

A hernia occurs when parts of an organ (usually the intestines) protrudes through a weak area in the muscular wall that holds the abdominal organs in place. It appears as a soft swel ing in the area.

Usual y, there is no obvious cause of a hernia, although they are sometimes associated with heavy lifting.

There are several types of hernias, based on where they occur.

The most common types involving the bowel include: Inguinal hernia (a bulge in the groin or scrotum), Femoral hernia (a bulge in the upper thigh), Incisional hernia (bulge through a scar after abdominal surgery), and Umbilical hernia (a bulge around the bel y button or umbilicus).

Hernias rarely go away without treatment. If the bulging abdominal tissue becomes trapped and can no longer be pushed back into the abdominal cavity, the decreased blood supply to the involved intestine can lead to tissue death. If not relieved, the person may develop signs and symptoms of bowel obstruction which include abdominal cramps, bloating, and vomiting. Emergency surgery may be required.

There are many possible causes that usually include abnormal circulation or damaged nerves to an area of the body. A neck injury may cause numbness anywhere along the arm or hand.

Similarly, a low back (spine) injury can cause sciatica—a sensation of numbness or tingling down the back of a leg.

Poor blood supply from atherosclerosis can precipitate pain, numbness, and tingling in the legs. This may be diagnosed by a doctor as PVD (Peripheral Vascular Disease), PAD (Peripheral Arterial Disease), or Neuropathy. Pressure on the spinal nerves or damage to the brain (stroke or head injury) can cause numbness anywhere in the body. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome causes numbness or tingling in your wrist, fingers, hand, or forearm.

(See Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary disease/COPD.) OSTEOARTHRITIS

(Also called Degenerative Joint Disease, OA, or DJD)

Osteoarthritis causes a gradual deterioration of bone cartilage and the formation of new bone (bone spurs) at various joints throughout the body. Metabolic, genetic, chemical, and mechanical factors play a role in its development. Associated with the aging process, it is the most common form of Arthritis. Almost everyone has some degree of Osteoarthritis by the time they reach seventy years of age.

The cartilage of the affected joint roughens and becomes worn down until bone rubs on bone. Bone spurs usually develop around the joints of the hands, fingers, hips, knees, big toe, and cervical and lumbar spine. Joint damage may begin after trauma to the area, occupational overuse, obesity, or being bow-legged or knock-kneed.

OSTEOPOROSIS

Osteoporosis, the most common type of bone disease, is the thinning of bone and loss of bone density. Osteoporosis occurs when the body fails to form enough new bone or when old bone is reabsorbed by the body, or both. The leading cause is a drop in estrogen in women at menopause or a drop in testosterone in men.

Since calcium and phosphate are essential for normal bone formation, growth and repair, nutritional deficiencies can contribute to development of Osteoporosis in men or women.

Other possible causes include hyperthyroidism, excessive use of steroids, being confined to a bed and bone cancers.

Osteopenia (abnormal y low bone density) may eventually deteriorate into Osteoporosis if not treated. Dowager’s Hump, (a marked abnormal curving of the spine in the area of the shoulder blades/upper back) is due to changes in the bones of the thoracic spine.

After several years, most Keloids wil flatten and become less noticeable; however, they may become irritated from rubbing or friction. Extensive Keloids may severely limit movement and can be very debilitating. They may cause cosmetic changes and affect the appearance.

Usual y fol owing surgery, inflammation, or an injury.

Adhesions are an abnormal joining of normally unconnected body parts or organs inside the body. The affected tissues bond to other tissue or organs, much like the process of forming scar tissue. Adhesions of the iris to the lens of the eye can lead to glaucoma. In the intestines, Adhesions can cause partial or complete bowel obstruction necessitating emergency life-saving surgery.

A Seizure is a sudden, excessive, abnormal electrical activity within the brain. Abnormally synchronized electrical messages sent from brain cel s to muscles causes a seizure or convulsion, a violent shaking of the body or limbs caused by uncontrol able muscle contractions.

Symptoms include loss of consciousness with twitching or shaking of the body; however, some seizures consist only of blank stares for a few moments. Occasionally, Seizures can cause temporary abnormal sensations or visual disturbances.

Known causes of Seizures include: metabolic disturbances (such as a malfunction of the kidney or liver; insulin shock with Diabetes), brain injury, interrupted blood circulation (such as an aneurysm or stroke), toxic substances (drugs, alcohol), infection (such as meningitis or encephalitis), birth defects, or brain tumor.

A typical Grand Mal Seizure causes a loss of consciousness and falling down, loss of bowel or bladder control, and rhythmic convulsions. Most Grand Mal Seizures last from thirty seconds to five minutes and may have residual headache, drowsiness, or confusion.

Focal Seizures involve only a few muscles, such as one side of the face or one arm or leg. Epilepsy is a chronic disorder with recurrent episodes cal ed Petit Mal Seizures.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Lead them in a prayer of repentance for generational curses.

2. Curse the spirit and command it to go.

3. Command the electrical and magnetic frequencies to be in harmony and balance and function normally.

4. Command a new brain.

SHORT LEG

Unless there is a birth defect or bone loss, short legs are caused by a lower back problem that draws up the ligaments, muscles, and bones, making the leg appear to be “short.”

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Grow out the legs.

2. Command the back to be healed and muscles, tendons, and ligaments to be their normal length and strength and to go into proper alignment.

3. If the leg is actually shorter or smaller, command a creative miracle. Command the leg to grow to normal length and size.

SICKLE-CELL ANEMIA

An abnormal type of hemoglobin within the red blood cel s causes Sickle-Cel Anemia, an inherited disease. The red blood cel s are misshapen, die earlier than usual, and may block small vessels with blood clots. Healthy red blood cel s and hemoglobin are necessary to carry oxygen to the body. When oxygen cannot reach the body cel s, tissue damage occurs causing a very painful “sickle cel crisis.” When the damaged tissues are located in a vital organ, serious complications can develop

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Lead in a prayer of repentance for generational curses.

2. Cast out the spirit of Sickle-Cel Anemia.

3. Command the defective genes to be restored to normal.

4. Command the marrow to produce normal blood cel s and the affected organs and tissues of the body to be healed.

SINUS PROBLEMS

Sinusitis refers to inflammation or infection of the sinus cavities.

Allergic reactions to environmental pol utants such as smoke, smog, or pol en can contribute to the irritation and inflammation. Sinus cavities, located around the forehead, cheeks, and eyes, are lined with mucous membranes. When the membranes become inflamed, the sinuses can be blocked with mucus and can easily become infected.

Generally caused by a viral, bacterial, or fungal infection, Sinusitis often occurs in conjunction with respiratory infections such as colds or rhinitis.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Rebuke the infection and curse any allergies.

2. Lay hands on the face and command the sinuses to drain, open up, and be healed.

3. Grow out the arms.

4. Command the blood vessels to open and reduce swel ing and inflammation of the areas.

5. Lead them in a prayer of repentance, if necessary.

SJOGREN’S SYNDROME

Sjogren’s (SHOW-grins) Syndrome is an autoimmune disease often defined by its two most common symptoms which are dry eyes and a dry mouth. It often accompanies other autoimmune disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis or lupus.

In Sjogren’s Syndrome, the mucous membranes and glands of the eyes and mouth malfunction causing decreased production of tears and saliva. This can lead to problems with swallowing, increased dental cavities, light-sensitive eyes, corneal ulcers, and damage to tissues of the lungs, kidneys, and liver.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Rebuke the abnormal disease process.

2. Command the all affected tissues of the body to be healed and function normally.

3. Command the immune system and any damaged organs to be healed and function properly.

4. Lead them in a prayer of repentance, if necessary.

SLEEP DISORDERS

(Also see Insomnia, Snoring, and Restless Leg Syndrome.)

Sleep Disorders involve any difficulties related to sleep including difficulty falling or staying asleep, inability to stay awake, excessive time spent asleep, or abnormal behaviors associated with sleep.

INSOMNIA OR PROBLEMS

FALLING AND STAYING ASLEEP

Insomnia includes difficulty falling asleep and staying asleep, intermittent wakefulness, and awakening too early in the morning. Some common factors associated with nighttime insomnia include: physical il ness, anxiety, increased stress, caffeine, alcohol, drugs, smoking, excessive noise or light, pain, or too much daytime napping.

Insomnia can lead to daytime drowsiness, poor concentration, and the inability to feel rested in the morning. Everyone has an occasional sleepless night; however, Insomnia can impair a person’s ability to adequately complete daily responsibilities because of excess tiredness or trouble with concentration.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Lead them in a prayer of repentance, if necessary.

2. Command the sleep center of the brain to operate normally.

3. Lead them in a prayer to lay all cares, stress, and worries on the altar of God.

4. Repent for not taking a Sabbath’s days rest, if necessary.

NARCOLEPSY

Narcolepsy is a chronic neurological sleep disorder characterized by overwhelming uncontrol able daytime drowsiness and sudden sleep attacks. People with Narcolepsy fall asleep inappropriately without warning, anywhere, and at any time regardless of the circumstances. They also exhibit other symptoms that may include sleep paralysis and hallucinations.

Narcolepsy can cause serious problems in both professional and personal lives. Sleep attacks may result in physical harm if they occur during everyday activities such as driving a car, using dangerous equipment, lighting a fire, or cutting food.

SLEEP APNEA

Sleep Apnea is a condition that most commonly affects obese people, but it may affect anyone with a short neck or a smal jaw, regardless of their actual weight. The disorder causes breathing to stop intermittently during normal sleep, waking the person repeatedly. Loud snoring and labored breathing are frequent symptoms that the airway is blocked. People with Sleep Apnea have difficulty achieving prolonged, deep restorative sleep. This results in excessive daytime sleepiness, also a symptom of Narcolepsy.

Because Sleep Apnea causes sudden drops in blood oxygen levels, people with Sleep Apnea are at higher risk for complications such as brain damage, stroke, high blood pressure, or sudden death. Children with Sleep Apnea may be hyperactive and may be diagnosed with ADHD. Overgrown tonsils and/or adenoids are considered the most common cause of childhood Sleep Apnea.

SLEEPWALKING

Sleepwalking usually occurs a few hours after a person has fallen asleep. Sleepwalkers do not only walk. They may do such things as change their clothes, move furniture, or just sit up in bed. Afterwards, they cannot remember any of their actions.

Episodes may be related to extreme fatigue or anxiety.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Lead them in a prayer of repentance for generational curses.

2. Lead them in a prayer to lay all cares, stress, fears, and worries on the altar of God.

7. Command any ungodly spirit to come out.

8. Speak a blessing of restful and restorative peaceful sleep.

9. Command the sleep center of the brain to operate normally.

SNORING

Snoring is loud, hoarse, or harsh breathing sounds that happen while a person is asleep. It is often disruptive to the person as wel as to others within hearing distance. While taking a breath, air flows past the relaxed tissues in the throat causing the tissues to vibrate, creating hoarse or harsh sounds.

Snoring may possibly be an indication of an underlying disorder such as chronic nasal congestion, deviated nasal septum, sleep apnea, or enlarged tonsils or adenoids. Other contributing factors include being overweight; the relaxing effects of sleeping pil s, antihistamines, or alcohol at bedtime; or sleeping on the back allowing the tongue to relax back into the throat.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Lead them in a prayer of repentance for generational curses.

2. Command the muscles and tissues of the upper throat to function normally during sleep.

3. Command any blockages in air pathways to be removed.

SORE THROAT

(Also see Influenza, Cold, Laryngitis.) A Sore Throat causes discomfort, pain, or scratchiness in the throat and often makes swallowing painful. A Sore Throat usually occurs in combination with other signs and symptoms of an upper respiratory infection, but can occur by itself. Like a common Cold, the majority of Sore Throats are caused by a viral infection.

Mononucleosis is a much longer-lived viral il ness that causes a very painful Sore Throat and problems swallowing. Other viral il nesses that include a Sore Throat include measles, chickenpox, and Croup.

Bacterial infections associated with a Sore Throat can include strep throat, tonsil itis, and diphtheria. Other common causes of Sore Throat include allergic reactions, excessively dry indoor air, chronic nasal congestion causing constant mouth breathing, environmental air pol ution, inhaling smoke, alcohol, spicy foods, muscle strain of the throat, acid reflux (GERDS), or vomiting.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Curse the root of any viral or bacterial infection.

2. Lead them in a prayer of repentance for word curses.

3. Command the pain, inflammation, or irritation to go.

4. Command any allergic reaction to disappear.

5. Command the electrical and magnetic frequencies to be in harmony and balance.

SPASTICITY

Spasticity is marked by stiff or rigid muscles and exaggerated reflexes which interferes with walking, movement, or speech.

Spasticity can be seen with any form of brain, spine, or nerve damage including Multiple Sclerosis or Cerebral Palsy.

Symptoms include exaggerated knee-jerk reflexes, repetitive uncontrol able jerky limb movements, unusual posturing, and carrying the shoulder, arm, wrist, and fingers at an abnormal angle. Spasticity may also interfere with speech patterns.

Severe, long-term Spasticity may lead to contractured muscles causing joints to be bent in a fixed position.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Command the nervous system to be healed, completely restored, and function normally.

2. Speak a new brain, if necessary.

3. Command the hormones to be in balance.

4. Command the electrical and magnetic frequencies to be in harmony and balance.

5. Cast out the spirit of trauma.

6. Lead them in a prayer of forgiveness, if necessary.

SPINA BIFIDA

Spina Bifida is a serious congenital birth defect. The backbone and spinal canal do not close properly before birth leaving the spinal cord and its protective covering membranes protruding from the infant’s back.

The terms Myelomeningocele or Open Spina Bifida may be used.

The baby is prone to life-threatening infections such as meningitis and other neurological problems such as paralysis, loss of bowel and bladder control, seizures, and learning disabilities as wel as other medical complications.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Lead them in a prayer of repentance for generational curses.

2. Command the spine to close completely.

3. Command a new spine, if necessary.

5. Command the brain and all nerve tissue and pathways to be totally healed and function normally.

SPRAIN (OR STRAIN)

During physical activity, sudden pain and swel ing around a joint or a muscle may occur when injured. The injury may be a Sprain or a Strain.

Sprains occur when a ligament is stretched too far or torn.

Ligaments are bands of tough fibrous tissue that connect one bone to another and stabilize the joints. The common locations for a Sprain include the ankles, wrists, or knees. A Strain is a stretching or tearing of muscle tissue. People sometimes called this a “pul ed muscle.”

Hamstring and back injuries are examples of common Strains.

Since symptoms of a Strain, Sprain or fracture may be similar, an X-ray is often necessary to determine the extent and specific type of injury.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Command the tendons, muscles, and ligaments to be restored and strengthened.

2. Grow out the arms or the legs.

3. Command the pain and all inflammation to go.

2. Lead them in a prayer to lay cares, stress, and worries on the altar of God.

3. Lead them in a prayer for repentance to break word curses.

STREP THROAT

(See Sore Throat.)

STRESS

(Also see Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.) Stress can come from any situation that causes frustration, anger, or anxiety. Stress is a normal part of life. In small quantities, stress can motivate a person to be more productive. However, too much stress can be harmful. It can exacerbate il nesses like infection, heart disease, or depression.

Persistent Stress can also precipitate unhealthy behaviors like overeating, alcohol, or drugs. Emotional problems such as grief or depression or health conditions such as an overactive thyroid, low blood sugar, or heart attack can also cause Stress.

People, money problems, work problems, disasters, injuries— stress comes from numerous directions.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Lead them in a prayer to lay all cares, stress, fears, and worries on the altar of God.

2. Command al chemicals and hormones to return to normal.

3. Lead them in a prayer of repentance, if necessary.

4. Speak peace to them.

STROKE

(CVA—Cardiovascular Accident) A stroke is an interruption of the blood supply to any part of the brain depriving the brain tissue of the oxygen and nutrients necessary to function properly. If the flow of blood to the brain is interrupted for longer than a few minutes, brain cel s die causing permanent damage. The area of the brain that is affected can no longer communicate to the body and loss of function results. An interruption can be caused by either blood clots, bleeding into the brain (aneurysm or blood vessel burst from uncontrol ed high blood pressure), or particles that block the blood flow (Atherosclerosis). A leading cause of death in the USA, it is also a leading cause of adult disability.

Symptoms of a Stroke and the after effects are often the same: numbness, weakness, or paralysis on one side of the body, loss of speech, problems with vision, dizziness, loss of coordination, confusion, and loss of memory. If severe, the Stroke can leave the person totally disabled and dependent on another person for al cares and movements.

A “mild stroke” or TIA is a temporary interruption of the blood flow to a part of the brain. (Official term is Transient Ischemic Attack). Initially, the symptoms may be the same as a Stroke; however, the symptoms last from a few minutes to a few days.

A TIA usually disappears without leaving apparent permanent effects; however, it is considered a warning that a Stroke could fol ow.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Cast out the spirit of death.

2. Command any blockage to dissolve and be removed.

3. Command al damaged tissue of the brain and other affected body parts be healed, restored, and function normally.

4. Command a new brain, if necessary.

5. Command the communication from the brain to the body to be restored and function normally.

STUTTERING

Stuttering means hesitation, repetition, or stumbling over words while speaking. Young children may stutter but they usually grow out of it as their confidence increases. For some, the stuttering progresses from repetition of consonants to repetition of words and phrases.

Stuttering may have genetic implications or it may be associated with some neurological deficits.

Surprisingly, people with significant speech difficulty often do not stutter when singing or are alone talking to themselves.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Lead them in a prayer of repentance for generational curses.

2. Command the nervous system to operate properly.

3. Command the spirit of trauma to leave.

SUICIDE

Suicide is the act of intentionally taking one’s own life. Suicidal behavior includes any deliberate life-threatening act such as taking a drug overdose or deliberately crashing a car. Suicidal behaviors are often associated with emotional disturbances such as depression, bipolar disorder, or schizophrenia.

Suicidal behaviors can often appear in response to overwhelming situations such as the death of a loved one, emotional trauma, serious physical il ness, unemployment, money problems, and alcohol or drug dependence.

Suicide attempts must be considered very serious and professional help should be found immediately. Those with suicidal thoughts or tendencies often believe that they are doing their friends and relatives a favor by removing themselves from the world.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Lead them in a prayer of repentance.

2. Command al chemicals and hormones to be in balance.

3. Lead them in a prayer of forgiveness and repentance to break word curses.

SWELLING (SEE EDEMA.)

TAILBONE (COCCYX)

Tailbone trauma is an injury to the lower tip of the spine.

Trauma usually involves bruising of the bone or pul ing of the adjacent ligaments. Falling backward onto a hard surface, such as a slippery floor or ice, is the most common cause of this injury. These injuries are painful and make sitting very uncomfortable if not impossible.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Command the tailbone to go back into place.

2. Command any fractures, bruising, or swel ing to be healed.

3. Command al pain to go.

TEETH (ALSO SEE PERIODONTITIS, GINGIVITIS, AND GUMDISEASE.) Widely spaced or crooked teeth can be a temporary condition related to normal growth and development before adult teeth develop in the mouth. Wide spacing can also result from abnormal growth of the maxil a or jawbone.

TEETH—OVERBITE OR UNDERBITE

An Overbite or Underbite indicates abnormal alignment of the teeth. Overbite means the upper front teeth protrude too far over the lower teeth when the mouth is closed. An Underbite means the lower teeth protrude outward further than the upper teeth. A small child sucking their thumb can cause either of these abnormalities. These conditions can also be caused by the jaw itself being displaced by an injury.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Lead them in a prayer of repentance for generational curses.

2. Lay hands on the jaw and command the jaw to be adjusted to allow enough space for the teeth to be in proper alignment.

3. Command the teeth to line up properly.

Teeth—Grinding

(Also see TMJ.)

Teeth grinding usually occurs at night during sleep. Some people unconsciously clench their teeth together during waking hours when they feel anxious or tense; however most grind their teeth during sleep. Persistent grinding can lead to jaw disorders (TMJ), headaches, damaged teeth and other problems.

Psychological factors may include anxiety, stress, tension, anger, frustration, aggression, and competitive or hyperactive personality type. In some children, it may be related to growth and development.

It can be common in those with cerebral palsy or severe mental retardation; however, it can be a complication of other disorders such as Huntington’s disease or Parkinson’s disease.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Grow out the arms.

2. Command the affected nerves to be released.

3. Lead them in a prayer of forgiveness, if necessary.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Curse the decay and command the pain to go.

2. Lay hands on the affected area and command the teeth to be restored.

3. Command new teeth.

TENDONITIS

Tendonitis is inflammation, irritation, and swel ing of a tendon, the fibrous connecting band of tissue that joins muscle to bone.

Tendonitis can occur from an injury, overuse, or with aging as the tendon loses elasticity. It can also appear with diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis or diabetes. Tendonitis can affect any tendon of the body, but some common sites include the shoulder, the wrist, the heel (Achil es tendonitis), and the elbow (called “Tennis Elbow”).

Caused by repetitively twisting the wrist or forearm, Tennis Elbow is an inflammation, soreness, or pain on the outside of the upper arm near the elbow. The injury is often associated with tennis players; thus the condition has became known as “Tennis Elbow,” but any activity that involves repetitive twisting of the wrist (like using a screwdriver) can lead to this condition.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Command al inflammation, pain, swel ing, and irritation to go.

5. Curse the root of cancer, if necessary.

TIC DOULOUREUX

(Also known as Painful Twitch.) Trigeminal Neuralgia (Tic Douloureux) is a very painful disorder of the “trigeminal” nerve located in the face. The nerve controls sensation of the face, tears, and saliva production. The sudden, uncontrol ed sharp pain often causes the person to wince or twitch. It may be caused by a tumor on or near the trigeminal nerve or pressure on the nerve root by a blood vessel.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Lead them in a prayer of repentance for generational curses.

2. Command al the pressure on the nerves to be healed and all nerves to function normal y.

3. Curse the disease and command the spirit to go.

4. Lead them in a prayer of repentance or forgiveness, if necessary.

TINNITUS

Tinnitus is the medical term for hearing abnormal noises in the ears with no obvious source of the sounds. The noises may be soft, loud, ringing, blowing, roaring, buzzing, hissing, humming, whistling, or sizzling. Tinnitus is common and may last only a few minutes.

However, constant or frequent Tinnitus is stressful and can interfere with concentration or sleep.

Tinnitus can be a symptom of an ear problem, including infection, excess wax in the ear, or injury from loud noises.

Alcohol, caffeine, antibiotics, aspirin, or other drugs can also cause ear noise.

Occasionally, it is a symptom of high blood pressure, an allergy, or anemia.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Lead them in a prayer of repentance for generational curses.

2. Curse the root cause and command it to go.

3. Command the blood to flow through the ear canal properly.

Symptoms of problems include popping sounds in the jaw, the inability to ful y open the mouth, jaw pain, headaches, earaches, toothaches, and various other types of facial pain.

Many TMJ symptoms are caused by the effects of physical stress or abnormalities around the joint including the muscles of the jaw, face, and neck; the teeth; the cartilage disc at the joint; and nearby ligaments, blood vessels, and nerves.

Clenching and grinding the teeth during the day and at night causes pressure on the muscles, tissues, and other structures around your jaw and wil exacerbate the TMJ

condition/symptoms.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Lead them in a prayer of repentance for generational curses.

2. Command the jaw to go back into place and pain to go.

URINARY TRACT INFECTION (UTI) A Urinary Tract Infection, or UTI, is an infection that can develop anywhere within the urinary tract including the kidneys, the ureters (the tubes that take urine from each kidney to the bladder), the bladder, or the urethra (the tube that drains urine from the bladder to the outside).

Most Urinary Tract Infections are caused by bacteria entering the area from outside the body. The most common cause is the bacteria cal ed E Coli that comes from feces (stool). Elderly people (especially those who have chronic incontinence) and people with diabetes are more prone to infections. Cystitis is the term to describe an inflammation of the urinary bladder.

Nephritis is an inflammation of the kidneys. Proper cleansing after toileting can often prevent UTIs.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Rebuke the infection and command it to go.

2. Command the kidneys, bladder, and all the tissues and nerves to be restored to normal structure and function.

3. Lead them in a prayer of repentance, if necessary.

VARICOSE VEINS

Varicose Veins are large, twisted, and painful superficial veins.

Normally, valves within the veins keep blood moving toward the heart. With varicose veins, the valves do not function properly, blood flow slows down, and the abnormal pooling of blood causes the vein to enlarge.

The most frequently identified causes include congenitally defective valves, thrombophlebitis, and pregnancy. Prolonged standing and increased pressure within the abdomen (obesity or tumors) may increase the development of varicose veins or aggravate the condition.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Lead them in a prayer of repentance for generational curses.

2. Command al affected valves to be healed.

3. Command al swol en veins to return to normal.

VENEREAL DISEASE

(Also called VD or STDs.) (Also see AIDS.)

STDs are among the most common infectious diseases.

Sexually Transmitted Diseases are infections that are passed from person to person through intimate sexual contact.

Some STD’s are transmitted by kissing or by close body contact.

The organisms responsible for other STD’s (for example, HIV

and hepatitis viruses) can be transmitted through nonsexual contact such as from mother to child at birth, through breastfeeding, and exposure to contaminated food, water, blood, medical instruments, or needles.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Lead them in a prayer of repentance for ungodly covenants, if necessary.

VERTIGO

(Also see Meniere’s Disease.) Dizziness is described as being unsteady, lightheaded, weakness, loss of balance, or Vertigo (a feeling that you or the room is spinning or moving).

Dizziness is usually not serious and either quickly resolves or is easily treated. However, dizziness can progress to Vertigo, which can be seriously disabling until symptoms disappear.

The most common causes of Vertigo are changing the position of the head too quickly, Labyrinthitis (inflammation of the inner ear), a viral infection of the inner ear, or Meniere’s Disease. Vertigo can also bring on ringing in the ears and accompany or be exacerbated by nausea, vomiting, and/or migraine headaches.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Lead in a prayer of repentance for generational curses.

2. Command the fluid in the ears to return to normal.

3. Command any infection to leave and the Vertigo to go and balance to return to normal.

WALLEYED (See Cross-eyed.) WARTS

Warts are smal growths on the skin caused by a virus. They are generally harmless; however, they can be disfiguring or embarrassing.

Common warts usually appear on the hands. Flat warts are usually found on the face and forehead. Genital warts are found in the pubic area, on or around the genitals, and in the area between the thighs.

Plantar warts develop on the soles of the feet. Subungual and periungual warts appear under and around the fingernails or toenails Most warts tend to cause no discomfort unless they are in areas of repeated friction or pressure. Plantar warts can become extremely painful and may cause problems with running and walking.

WHIPLASH

Whiplash is an injury to the neck caused by a sudden jerking or “whipping” of the head. When a vehicle stops suddenly or is struck from behind, the seat belt keeps a person’s body from being thrown forward. However, the head may snap forward, then backward, causing a Whiplash injury. In addition to car accidents, Whiplash can be caused by amusement park rides, sports injuries, or by being punched or shaken vigorously.

Abuse is the suspected cause when this injury is found in young children.

How to Minister: (All commands done in Jesus’ name.) 1. Curse the pain and command it to go.

2. Command the neck to come into alignment.

3. Command any damaged disc, vertebrae, nerve, ligament, tendon, or muscle to be healed.
