One Common Question
A practical answer in many words
So what do you do when you pray for the sick actively or make requests in prayer, and the sick don’t (seem) to get better, or the situation still lingers?
First, healing the sick is a mindset. There’s a revelation behind what we do as believers. This revelation is fuelled by the word of God we know. The how of prayer, the way we heal the sick, the way we work miracles, etc., all have methods to them, and this is all laid on the foundation of a revelation from the word of God.
If you ever stand before the sick and you aren’t sure they will get better if you pray, then you probably need to check how well you know what you know about yourself from the written word. I mean, you must be convinced of your identity in Christ first. Then, maybe you need to spend more time praying in the spirit so you can also get acquainted with the voice of His soul and know what to do.
But barring these things, my immediate answer is often to pray again. You see, it’s a sign of faith when we pray repeatedly over an issue. Especially when the problem is proving stubborn, the believer must also have the power to pray again and again until he sees the result he’s looking for.
