As believers, we are called to pray for others, including healing:

1. Find a sick person (crutches, bandages, limping, etc.)
   1. They may not have a visible injury. Sometimes God will show you a pain in your own body, or give you a word of knowledge about them, or show you a picture in your mind)
2. Approach them.
   1. Often, I simply start by saying hi, then ask them about their injury. Almost everyone will tell you what happened.
3. Give them a testimony of another healing, weather it is related or not. If you don’t have one, you can find several healing videos on YouTube by legit people. Todd White is one to start with, but there are many others.
4. Ask if you can pray for them.
   1. When you pray, you command the sickness to leave in  Jesus’ name. It is not done by begging or requesting. The same Holy Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead lives within you, and operates through you.
   1. If they refuse to let you pray for them, tell them that Jesus loves them and so do you. That you care about them and their healing, and you will be praying for them yourself (and pray for them as you walk away). Never take a refusal personally, as they are not rejecting YOU. Love them anyway.
5. Ask them to test it out afterward, something they were not able to do before. This enables them to put faith in what God has done in a simple task. You can ask them a pain scale of where they were before (10 – extreme pain to 0 – no pain).
   1. If they are completely better, praise God together.
   1. If they are somewhat better, praise God for what He started and ask if you can pray again. Usually, the pain/injury gets better each time after that, but you want to go at it until it is completely gone.
   1. If there is no improvement, ask if you can pray again. If after several times nothing happens, don’t take it personally, as neither of you have failed. Sometimes, answers may be delayed. Let them know that Jesus loves them, that you do too, and if you are comfortable, give them some contact information to follow up.
6. While you are praying, pay attention to what God whispers to you or any other pains in your own body that are not normal. There may be more things He wants to heal.
7. Lastly, it’s ok to pray for ourselves.
   1. My own healing this morning
8. Ask if there is anyone watching that needs healing.
