PRAYER AND HEALING
ASK THE LORD TO FILL YOU WITH THE SPIRIT
Father in
heaven I thank for your immense love for me
allowing your Son to die on the Cross for me a
sinner. Jesus my Saviour I thank you for taking
away my sins and curses on your body on the
Cross and sending your Holy Spirit on me. Lord,
Holy Spirit I thank you for coming to me and
making me a child of God the Father and a
brother of Jesus Christ. Lord, Holy Spirit I am
sorry for the sins committed by not yielding to
your powerful action. I am sorry for my sins. I
accept Jesus as the only Lord of my life. God
the Holy Spirit, love of the Father and the Son,
in order to belong entirely to you, I consecrate
to you now, my body and my soul, my
understanding and my whole being, my thoughts
and desires, my words and deeds, my joys and
sorrows, my life and my death. Rule over me, O
Spirit of love fill me, sanctify me, empower me
and guide me.
(Repeat the last sentence several times with an
expectant faith and believing that He is coming
over you go into praise giving and thanks
giving. Then you will experience the Spirit
coming and filling you and you will be even able
to pray in tongues thus opening your inner-self
to great and wonderful experience of God's love)
Pray to Mary, Immaculate Spouse of the Holy
Spirit to give you an infilling of the Spirit.
A PRAYER FOR PHYSICAL HEALING
"They brought
to Him all the sick, those who were afflicted
with various diseases
|
"They brought to Him all the sick,
those who were afflicted with various
diseases and pains, demoniacs,
epileptics And paralytics, and He
cured them" (Mt 4:24) |
|
Jesus heals all
those who approach Him with faith even today. It
is faith in Him that heals. "Your faith has
healed you, go in peace" are His words. They
are relevant to this day.
How to pray for healing
Bring your
illness to the healing Lord and surrender it
with faith. Because Jesus loves you He wants to
heal you. Once you pray for a healing you must
believe in your hearts that He has already
healed you whether you see the healing now or
later. "And if we know that He heals us
whatever we ask, we know that we have obtained
the request made of him" (1 Jn 5: 15). Once
you believe that you are healed you must testify
before others. Note the woman with blood issue.
After having felt the healing touch of the Lord,
she without hesitation declared in the presence
of all people why she has touched him and how
she had been healed instantaneously (Lk 8: 47).
|
But ask in faith, never doubting
(Jas 1:6) |
|
Let us Pray
thus:
My Lord Jesus,
I believe that you love me much. I praise you
and worship you as my only Saviour and Master. I
ask you to cure my sickness, give me a complete
healing and set me free. Place your wounded
hands on my head and your healing power permeate
through my body, let my diseased organ
experience the magnificent power of your healing
touch. Strengthen me O Lord that I may walk in
your ways and do all my duties according to your
Holy will. Praise you Jesus, Thank you Jesus,
Alleluia (Repeat the prayers as you desire).
After the healing prayer you must spend more
time in praising Jesus and if you have the gift
of Tongues, use it.
Read : Lk 8:
22-56; Heb 11: 1-40; Acts 3: 1-26; Ps 38
LIBERATION FROM HABITUAL SINS
"Do not be
deceived Fornicators, idolaters, adulterers,
prostitutes, sodomites, thieves, the greedy,
drunkards, revilers, robbers,- none of them will
inherit the Kingdom of God" (1Cor 6: 10).
By repetition of sin one falls into the habit of
sin. Certain people fall into habitual sins in
order to mask the old memories or fears.
If you pray
honouring the wounds of Christ and His precious
blood you shall be set free from your bondages,
for we have been healed by His wounds. The blood
of Christ who through the eternal Spirit offered
Himself without blemish to God will purify our
conscience from dead works to worship the living
God (Heb 9: 14).
|
You were taught to put away your
former way of life, your old self,
corrupt and deluded by its lusts and
to be renewed in the spirit of your
minds. (Eph 4: 22) |
|
What
should we do?
- Be aware of
your habitual sins.
- Repent of them and detest them from the
heart.
- As you are in your weakness turn towards
Jesus who will strengthen you with His Spirit
in your weakness.
- If you persevere in your prayer life and
sacramental life and do good works, you will
always be united with Jesus and be unable to
go back to your old manner of life. "Those who
have been born of God do not sin, because
God's spirit abides in them, they cannot sin,
because they have been born of God"(I Jn 3: 9)
-
|
I will make an everlasting
covenant with them, never to cease
from doing good to them, and I will
put the fear of me in their hearts so
that they may not turn from me. (Jer
32: 40) |
|
Let
us pray thus:
O Jesus
crucified for me on Calvary, have mercy on me. I
surrender all my compulsive habits and
entanglements before you (consciously bring each
of them that has enslaved you may be alcoholism,
smoking, self-abuse, homosexuality, anger,
selfishness, cupidity, resentment, etc) O Divine
Saviour wash my heart and mind in your precious
blood that I may be purified and cleansed like
snow. Send your Holy Spirit, the strength and
power that flows from your Sacred Heart, into my
heart that I may not go back to my old manner of
life. Allow me to live very close to your sweet
heart that You may be in me and I may be in you
ever living a Holy life. Praise you Jesus. Thank
you Jesus. (It is good to spend more time in
praising Jesus. You may sing a song of praise to
Jesus).

PRAYER FOR GOD's MERCY
"The
Lord, the Lord, good merciful and gracious, slow
to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and
faithfulness, keeping steadfast love for the
thousandth generation forgiving iniquity and
transgression and sin, yet by no means cleaning
the guilty, but visiting the iniquity of the
parents upon the children, to the third and
fourth generation" (Ex 4:7). Perhaps some of
the problems we face are due to the wickedness
and sinful lives of our ancestors and elders in
the family; unrepented sins, debts to be paid
back, abortion, killing afflicting widows and
orphans, witchcraft and sorcery, idolatry,
etc... These call for God's vengeance. Hence we
need to ask to God's mercy and pardon. If any
debts are to be paid back it must be done. If
hatred or resentment is present, reconciliation
is needed.
|
See, the Lord's hand is not too
short to save, nor his ears too dull
to hear. Rather, your iniquities have
been barriers between you and your
God, and your sins have hidden his
face from you so that He does not
hear. (Is 59: 1-2). |
|
If
possible have the following prayer said before a
crucifix.
Let
us Prayer
O
Merciful Jesus, have mercy on me, a sinner. I
earnestly ask you to forgive all the sins and
iniquities committed by my parents, grand
parents, relatives, friends and superiors. Wash
me clean from my sins and guilt by the precious
blood which you shed on the Cross for me. In
anger cast me not away from your presence. Have
mercy on me. O lord as you were merciful to the
good thief and the sinner woman and make me your
child. Cover me with your precious blood and
hide me in your wounds. Be my strength and
fortress. Lead me safely along your path of
salvation. I surrender myself to your will O
Lord. I am ready to go wherever you want me to
go; I am ready to do whatever you want me to do.
Send your Holy Spirit and strengthen me O Lord,
my God. Praise you Jesus. Thankyou Jesus
(repeat). It is good to sing hymns of
repentance.

A PRAYER FOR INNER HEALING
|
So get rid of your old self, which
made you live as you used to; the old
self was being destroyed by its
deceitful desires. Your hearts and
minds must be made completely new. You
must put on the new self which is
created in God's likeness, and reveals
itself in the true life that is
upright and holy. (Eph 4: 22-24) |
|
Every
believer experiences within himself the life of
the spirit and the life of the flesh. A
Christian must put to death the deeds of the
flesh (Rom 8: 13) and live a life according to
the Holy Spirit. Flesh means all imaginations,
memories, hurts, wounds, negative feelings,
shocks, rejection, guilt, sorrows, feelings of
abandonment, inherit evil habits, acquired bad
habits, bad imitations, etc. When all these are
within one, he cannot live a life according to
the Spirit. Hence one needs liberation and inner
healing. "So if anyone is in Christ, there is
a new creation: everything old did has passed
away; see, everything has become new" (II
Cor 5: 17)
What
you should do:
- Bring
before the Lord your old self with all its
problems. If you spend some time in prayer you
will be able to see your old self well.
- Believe that Jesus took away your wounds on
His body on the Cross. (1 Pt 2: 24).
- Invite Jesus into your life and ask Him to
walk through from the womb of your mother until
now.
- While praying, believe in your heart that the
Lord is touching you and healing you
(1 Jn 5: 14-15) and praise God for the wonderful
experience of inner healing.
Let
us Pray thus
Jesus,
I ask you to enter into my heart and touch those
life experiences which need to be healed. You
know me much better than I know myself.
Therefore, bring your love to every corner of my
heart. Wherever you discover the wounded child,
touch him, console him and release him.
Walk
back through my life to the very moment when I
was conceived. Cleanse my body and free me from
those things which may have exerted a negative
influence at that moment. Bless me as I was
being formed within my mother's womb and remove
all barriers to wholeness which may have
affected me during those months of confinement.
Grant
me a deep desire to be born again and heal any
physical or emotional traumas which could have
harmed me during the birth process. Thank you
Lord, for being there to receive me into your
arms at the very moment of my birth to welcome
me onto the earth and assure me that You would
never fail me or desert me.
Jesus,
I ask you to surround my infancy with your light
and touch those memories which keep me from
being free. If I needed more a mother's love,
send me your mother, Mary, to provide whatever
is lacking. Ask her to hold me close, to kiss
me, to tell me stories and fill in those empty
parts of me which need the comfort and warmth
only a mother could give.
Perhaps the child inside felt deprived in the
area of father's love. Lord, let me be free to
cry "Abba", Daddy, with every part of my being.
If I needed more of a father's love and security
to assure me that I was wanted and loved very
deeply, I ask you to hold me and let me feel
your strong, protective arms. Give me renewed
confidence and courage to face the trials of the
world because I know my Father's love will
support me if I stumble and fall.
Walk
through my life, Lord, and comfort me when
others were not kind. Heal the wounds of
encounters which left frightened, which cause me
to retreat into myself and erect barriers to the
people. If I have felt lonely, abandoned and
rejected by humanity, grant me, through your
healing love, a new sense of worth as a person.
People
rejected me, they spoke ill of me when I was
innocent, and I felt sad and resentful. O Lord
come and heal me. I present my compulsive habits
and my old corrupted and rotten self to you,
wash me and clean me, O Lord.
Thank you Lord
PRAISE THE LORD
