Receive Healing in 3 Simple Steps

Are you facing sickness, pain, or a diagnosis that’s left you feeling hopeless? I want you to know that God still heals. And not only that—He wants to heal you! 

To receive divine healing, there are three powerful truths you must believe. In this blog, I’ll walk you through each one, straight from God’s Word, to help you position your heart and faith to receive the healing Jesus paid for. These three steps are so simple that even a child can do them. So don’t let the simplicity of the message be a stumbling block for you.

1.     Step One – Believe God is Able

Most people believe that God is able to heal. But just in case you are struggling with this truth, we are going to look at what the Bible says about it.

Matthew 9:27-30 says:

When Jesus departed from there, two blind men followed Him, crying out and saying, "Son of David, have mercy on us!"

And when He had come into the house, the blind men came to Him. And Jesus said to them, "Do you believe that I am able to do this?"

They said to Him, "Yes, Lord."

Then He touched their eyes, saying, "According to your faith let it be to you." And their eyes were opened.

I want to point out that when the sick came for healing in the gospels, they often asked for mercy! The Bible teaches us that God is the Father of Mercies, plural. If He was only the God of forgiveness, it would say “Mercy”, singular. But God also has healing mercy.

I also want to point out that the blind men cried and prayed. People are very proficient at crying and praying. If you stop reading at the end of verse 27, you’ll see that crying and praying didn’t get the job done. They were still blind.

Many request healing, which is a step in the right direction. But a lot of people fail because all they do is cry and pray, which is not enough to receive healing. We must also believe the right things!

Jesus asked the blind men, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” And when they responded “Yes, Lord”, He told them it was according to their faith that they received healing. He didn’t say according to My faith let it be to you. It matters that we believe God is able, which is the first step to receiving divine healing.

2.     Step Two – Believe God is Willing

This is an area where many falter. They believe God is able, but they question whether or not He is willing. This thinking has evolved because of the experiences of many who did not receive healing after praying for it.

There are many reasons why people do not receive healing, but none of them has to do with the will of God for them. We should never build a doctrine based on the experiences of people. This is what shipwrecks people’s faith. Our faith should always be based upon the Word of God.

There was a leper in the gospels who had this same problem. He questioned whether or not Jesus was willing to heal him. And Jesus settled this question once and for all.

Matthew 8:2-3 says:

 And behold, a leper came and worshiped Him, saying, "Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean."

Then Jesus put out His hand and touched him, saying, "I am willing; be cleansed." Immediately his leprosy was cleansed.

In this case, the leper believed that Jesus was able. However, he questioned His willingness. I want you to know this was not just the will of God for one select leper on the planet. I challenge you to read through the gospels and find one instance where Jesus told someone who came to Him, “It’s not My will to heal you.” You won’t find it – He never turned away anyone who came to Him for healing!

There were plenty of times when Jesus had to get their believing straightened out before they could receive their healing. But He was always patient and worked with them. Jesus is patiently waiting for all to see the light of how divine healing works. He longs for you to receive your healing today!

It is always the will of God to heal! Jesus paid the price for your healing. It’s a done deal!

3.     Step Three – Believe That You Receive

Mark 11:24 says:

 Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.

It’s important to ask or pray in life. But asking is not enough. According to this verse, you must believe that you receive your answer when you pray.

Once you pray, it’s important that you don’t start looking for the answer in your body. Things might not change immediately, but your faith says you believe you receive your healing. Notice the last part of that verse says, “and you WILL have them?”

When you really believe with your heart, your healing has begun, regardless of what you feel or see. Hold fast to what you believe in all three of these areas. Believe God is able, believe God is willing, believe you receive when you pray, and you will have the healing you long for!
