B. You need to declare healing and change in your situation!

1. Recognize and change False Beliefs using the Word of God. What you believe in your heart dramatically affects your life for good or for bad. This Bible is full of stories of people that God had to change their False Belief for miracles and healing to happen (i.e. Sarah, 10 Spies, Gideon, Zaccarias and Elizabeth, Thomas and others)! God is still saying— “Can You Believe?” “Do You Want to be Made Whole?” Identify ungodly beliefs, for your belief system impacts your prayers and answer to those prayers! Rom. 15:13 says, “Now may the God of HOPE, fill you with all joy and peace in BELIEVING, so that you will abound in HOPE by the power of the Holy Spirit.”

2. Embrace Biblical Core Values about Your Life and Healing. Get healing, overcoming scripture insight in your mind! It becomes the seed for change! Just like ungodly beliefs multiply negative seed, its possible to stop the lies that you can’t be healed and multiply faith and positive seeds by renewing your mind with Godly truths that release healing. Rom. 12:2 says, “Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may PROVE what the will of God is…”

3. Overcome Soul/Spirit Hurts and Wounds of Life. Submit life’s hurts which have negatively impacted your heart and health to God! Make a decision to forgive and receive God’s healing for the hurts and wounds of the past, so you can enter the pathway of healing! Phil. 4:8 is one of the greatest healing verses in the Bible.

It says “Whatever is true, honorable, right, pure, lovely, of good repute, anything worthy of praise…DWELL ON THESE THINGS! (v. 9) “…practice these things and the God of peace will be with you!”

4. Bring thoughts captive and through the Spirit of God, destroy the Oppressive works of the Devil. Turn to II Cor. 10:5, “We are destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ.” As the truth of God’s word (Who I AM in God) is applied to the problems of each area of your past and each root of the enemy’s attack—healing happens, and the way is cleared for a powerful encounter with Father God!

(PRAY THIS OUT LOUD): “God, I want you in my life! I want to be restored to my fullest Potential. Forgive me of my past and help me forgive myself. Break the power of my past and help me change the false beliefs I have lived by! I invite Jesus into my life to be my Lord and Savior! Let me have a new sense of purpose as I embrace what the Bible says about my new life in Christ. Help me overcome soul/spirit hurts and wounds of my past. I want to listen to your voice and do what pleases you. Help me bring every thought captive and through the Spirit of God, destroy the Oppressive works of the Devil. I pray this with expectation and full surrender. In Jesus’ Name. Amen!”
