There are many stories in the Bible of when Jesus heals the sick.

In the faith article below I look at the story of when Jesus heals a man's absent son. I also give a list of some other examples of Jesus healing the sick.

Heal My Disbelief

This is the story of healing in the Bible where a father asks for healing for his son. This is an example of distant healing in the Bible.

I found this example of faith healing so helpful and comforting.
By the time I came to study it, I had lived with severe Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME/CFS) for many years.
I did not have a situation that allowed me to rest and have a chance to recover in the natural way of things.
I didn't know if I had enough faith for God to heal me.

The father does not have total faith that Jesus can heal his son. Yet still his son is healed.

Any purchase of
an angel themed gift helps to pay for this website.
Abundant thanks, Katherine

The above is a simple prayer for healing that we can say to ask God to teach us how to believe for healing.

What does this story of healing in the bible teach us about how to allow Jesus to heal us?

What does the man do to allow Jesus to heal his son?

• He brings himself to where Jesus is. He makes the effort.
• He asks for help.
• He is motivated by love. He loves his son and wants his son to live.
• He is willing to believe and asks God to help him believe.

If you answered yes to these questions of faith, you may want to stop and say the following short prayer for healing:

This prayer for healing can also be said to raise your faith for healing for another person. I have just said this prayer for a friend.

To claim healing through healing scriptures, there is an excellent book available: Healing The Sick by T J Osborn. It played a part in raising my faith for healing.

This book assumes that you find truth in the Bible and that you are willing to believe Jesus heals today - it is full on Christianity, so it will not be for everyone who comes to these pages.

Two Christians I know found it simplistic and preachy at first. They then “just happened” to look at it at a later date and it helped them build their faith for healing. One went on to receive dramatic healing. Another received significant healing.

Self Healing In The Bible or God Healing?

A visitor to this spiritual website queried an occasion when I used the words self healing.

My intention through faith for healing, faith in God and mind discipline, is to create a space within which God can heal me - the healing is from God not from me.

However, as the stories of Jesus healing in the bible above demonstrate, we play an active part in our healing. It is our responsibility to open the door to the healing available from God, Jesus, the Universe, the All That Is.

In this sense we are engaged in self-healing. I am happy to use both sets of language.
