In thinking about praying for people to be healed it is good to remind ourselves of testimonies but it is also good to remind ourselves what Jesus said:
Jesus sends out the 12 in Luke 9:1: "Jesus gave them power and authority to drive out demons and cure diseases and he sent them out to preach the kingdom of God and to heal the sick";
Jesus sends out the 72 in Luke 10:9: "Heal the sick who are there and tell them the Kingdom of God is near you".
Jesus at the end of Mark's gospel says, Mark 16:17, "And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues ...; they will place their hands on sick people and they will get well".
Then in John's gospel He says, John 14:12: "I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father."
Let's take Jesus at His word. Let's believe Him. Let's keep praying for people.
