The most important thing to do throughout this process is to CELEBRATE whatever change happens, even if it’s not a full healing. God loves it when we celebrate what he has done and this can often lead to more.

If there has been no change I would never say to the person that it is in any way their fault or a lack of faith on their part but that sometimes even though there appears to be no change at PRESENT, it doesn’t mean that God hasn’t started the process and healing may come later.

If you see a full healing and the person is on some form of medication, it’s always good to encourage them to go to their doctor and get it confirmed and not to stop taking any medication without a doctors say so.

Another helpful tip if you are wanting to grow in this area is to process any disappointment you may feel if you are not seeing many results when you pray. If you don’t, this may discourage you from offering to pray again and for believing for healing. Processing disappointment well is key to a healthy Christian life as disappointment can be a major road block in your walk with God. I always think of it like stuffing feelings under a mat, eventually the feelings build up to make a big enough bump that they will trip you up unless you deal with them.

Some people have more success than others in this area of ministry and that’s okay as we all have multiple gifts but that should never be a disqualifier for you offering to pray. Also, remember the more people you offer to pray for, the more healings you are likely to see.

I pray that you would have many 20 second shots of courage and for boldness to rise up within you as you show love to those around you in need of healing.

Don’t forget every time you step out and pray for someone when you feel the Holy Spirit prompting you it’s because it’s an opportunity for you to grow in faith and for you to trust in God. He will be celebrating you as you step out in obedience and there is nothing like watching someone experience a healing in their body, whether physical or emotional. The outcome is not down to you but down to God so the pressure is off, just go for it.
