,he purpose of the inter"iew is to answer the uestion ‘Where does it hurt# or ‘What would you like me to pray for?#

When /esus prayed for Blind Bartimaeus he asked what seemed like an o*"ious uestion ‘What do you want me to do for you# Mk 10:;6.-<%

While they are replyin you need to listen on two le"els $ the natural and the supernatural% t#s not a medical inter"iew and you don#t need all the ory details' *ut as they talk it i"es you time to listen to what God is sayin to you a*out that person%

,his is a*out identifyin the root of the person#s pro*lem%

,here is an o"erlap here with step 1% ,his is where you are askin God for words of knowlede' "isions' *i*le "erses' insihts to help you decide the type of prayer that is needed to help

answer the uestion:

Why do they ha"e this condition?

,here are a num*er of reasons why people may need help:

8a9 natural causes $ disease' accident

8*9 sin $ committed *y them or to them

8d9 relationship pro*lems $ lack of fori"eness

8e9 supernatural $ may *e demonic

,hey may *e tellin you one thin and God tellin you somethin else! )sk uestions tactfully e%% is there a situation in the past where someone has hurt you and it#s hard to fori"e them? >ather than sharply$ who is it you can#t fori"e?

ack of fori"eness and *itterness and resentment can *e the cause of physical illness and until they fori"e their physical healin may not *e released%

 )s they are talkin to you' keep askin God for help $ prayin in tonues 8inside your head9 can help you to open up channels so that you can hear from God /ohn Wim*er calls it puttin up your spiritual antennae% 3eep your eyes open!!

ecidin what to pray

What kind of prayer shall  pray to help this person?

,his follows on from what God has told you in the dianosis

=tart *y askin the oly =pirit to come and to minister to the person $ this helps them *ecome recepti"e' especially if they can tani*ly feel is presence%

 )t this point you may want to share what God has told you $ a "ision' a word of knowlede' *i*le "erse $ or it may *e appropriate to hold *ack and share later%

,wo main areas that need prayer reularly:

1% Body

8a9 ay hands on the person appropriately

8*9 )sk for God to heal the area of the *ody

8i9 make a command of faith as in )cts 4:6 ‘n the name of /esus @hrist of Aaareth' rise up and walk#

8ii9 make a pronouncement of faith /esus said ‘Cou may o' your son will li"e# /ohn ;:-0

<% Dast hurts

2ften these people need to eEtend fori"eness to others so that God will fori"e them and they can recei"e is fori"eness% ,hey may not always *e prepared to do so' if not' ust *less them and mo"e on% ,here may also *e a reat deal of aner and this needs dealin with and

fori"eness souht for%

 ) word on the demonic $ if it#s really a demon you#ll know% /ust remem*er that we ha"e *een i"en the authority of /esus and they cannot harm us% We can *reak their power and command them to lea"e ust as /esus did% 2ften what people think are demons manifestin is ust peoples hurt comin out% >ead up on the su*ect' *ut if you meet and you#re unsure either dial down and tell them to come *ack at another time or seek help%

When you in"ite the oly =pirit to come' it#s likely that there will *e physical sins of his

presence% ,hese sins do not need to *e present for God to work and to heal' and e"en if they are present it doesn#t mean that God will heal' *ut it does mean that the person is "ery aware of and often reassured *y God#s presence%

FEamples:

. =hakin $ sometimes "iolent' may *e ust one part of the *ody

. runkennesseuphoria often followin new appreciation of God#s racelo"ewonder at his pardon

. /umpin up and down

. Weiht on chest

. ea"iness in the air 

. Deaceful calm look on their face

. a"in said all that' the oly =pirit is more interested in the internal that the eEternal% 2ften nothin happens and people et healed%

o ask people what is happenin $ you won#t distur* what God is doin and it may lead to further prayer% 2r' you may *e really encouraed *y what they say%

f you are *ein prayed for' do tell the person prayin for you if anythin that they ha"e said or done has helped $ we all need encouraement%

When do you stop?

When they indicate that it#s o"er 

When you *elie"e that God has told you to

When you run out of thins to pray

when nothin is happenin

f you are stoppin' you can indicate this to the person *y remo"in your hand' speakin to them% t#s not always wise to mo"e away if they#re enaed with God' check with them%

What should they do to keep their healin?

/ohn -:1; ,o a man that he had ust healed /esus said ‘ stop sinnin or somethin worse may happen to you# or ‘Go and sin no more#

Fncourae them to spend time with God' stay in"ol"ed with their church' or et in"ol"ed with small roups etc

f physical healin to check with their doctor and certainly not to discontinue medication no matter how well they feel $ it needs to *e confirmed

What if they#re not healed?

/ust reassure them that God lo"es them and encourae them to keep on askin and assure them that God doesn#t react with ‘2h no' not you aain!# e encouraes us to ask and keep on askin Matt% &:&

 )nd finally:

,reat people as you would like to *e treated% Drotect their dinity%

We can#t heal' only God can% We are only his instruments' if e doesn#t do' it#s his responsi*ility and he#s *i enouh to carry it%
