Do you believe in divine healing? Read this . . .
And there was a woman who had had a discharge of blood for twelve years, and though she had spent all her living on physicians, she could not be healed by anyone. She came up behind him and touched the fringe (corner–hem) of his garment, and immediately her discharge of blood ceased…But Jesus said, “Someone touched me, for I perceive that power has gone out from me.” And when the woman saw that she was not hidden, she came trembling, and falling down before him declared in the presence of all the people why she had touched him, and how she had been immediately healed. And he said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace,” (Luke 8:43-48).
The precious woman in this biblical account suffered with a bleeding issue for over a decade. The best doctors could not cure her, and the latest medicines and treatments were of no use. As an unclean member of society, she was truly an outcast, leaving her with nowhere to turn. In faith, she reached out to the ONLY ONE who could restore and heal her body–Jesus Christ.
Our modern world bears little resemblance to the biblical days when Jesus the Messiah walked through the streets of ancient Israel, healing the sick and demon-possessed. In these uncertain times, society urges humanity to put faith in anything but Jesus. Surrounded by the latest medical technologies and breakthroughs, humanity is told that science is the answer. Advertisements on TV and media bombard the public with messages about medications for everything from anxiety to dementia, while new vaccines are released before diseases even make their debut.
Is “Science” the Only Answer?
While medications, surgical procedures, and treatments can be miraculous blessings bestowed upon us by God through gifted doctors, surgeons, nurses, and medical professionals, we must never neglect the amazing healing power of the Great Physician, the Lord our Healer.
Not so long ago, I came to understand the significance of God’s miraculous healing touch. For many years, my son struggled with debilitating motor tics that caused great suffering both mentally and physically. Initially, it seemed that medications and pharmaceutical remedies were the best approach to receiving healing. After all, they were tangible, measurable, and touted by experienced physicians.
Unfortunately, even after years of treatments, no improvement in my son’s condition was achieved. Often, the side effects of certain medications were worse than the lingering tics that he was experiencing. This brought me to the point of despair. But in that time of desperation, the Lord led me to a verse: Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer of faith will save the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up (James 5:14-15).
Look to Jesus for Healing
Like the woman who reached out to Jesus for healing, I was at the end of my rope. I decided to act on this verse and asked members of our church to lay hands on my son and pray. The pastor prayed not only for healing, but for light to be shed on what could be causing the tics. Though healing didn’t happen immediately, over time my son’s condition improved dramatically. The Holy Spirit also led me to the answers I was looking for, which involved natural treatments and a non-pharmaceutical approach to health. Most importantly, my family was drawn into a deeper relationship with Jesus and His voice became louder than the medical industry.
Healing in His Wings
Malachi 4:2 contains an astounding truth about healing. But for you who fear my name, the Sun of Righteousness will rise with healing in his wings (NLT). While this inspiring verse points to Jesus as the Great Healer, it also highlights the profound significance of the garment that Jesus wore during his time on earth, known as the tallit. All Jewish males were commanded to wear this rectangular prayer shawl, which contained four corners, referred to as wings (Numbers 15:37-41). Hanging from the wings are fringes known as tzitzit. These tassels (fringes) are knotted and twisted in a special way to symbolize God’s commandments, or the Word of God.
The woman with the bleeding issue touched the fringe (corner, hem, tassels) of Jesus’s garment, which is known as the tzitzit. These fringes (tzitzit) would have hung from the wing (corner) of Jesus’s tallit (prayer shawl). Essentially, she was taking hold of the Word of God because this is what the tzitzit represents. She was also reaching out for the wings of the garment, which symbolize the covering and protection of Jesus. Psalm 91 illustrates this beautifully, especially verse 4 which says, He will cover you with his feathers. He will shelter you with his wings (NLT).
There is great power in the Word of God because it always reveals truth, and truth brings healing. Often, the world tells us that the best solution to our problems is to “pop a pill” or rely on experimental products to cure our illnesses and ailments. While there’s nothing wrong with taking a medicine or seeking medical treatment, this doesn’t always solve our problems. In certain instances, there can also be side effects, dependence, or even addiction. Worse yet, the root cause of the medical condition could be completely ignored, leading to more issues down the road.
Exodus 15:26 declares, “I am the Lord, your healer,” while Psalm 17:8 says, “Hide me in the shadow of your wings.”
Intercessors, how can we receive healing in the shadow of Jesus’s wings? Looking back at the tallit, we once again find clues. Amazingly, the prayer shawl becomes a secret shelter for the person wearing it as he/she spreads out the wings of the garment and places them over their head and body. Suddenly, it becomes a secret shelter or little tabernacle where one can find rest and healing. As the walls of the tallit block out the distractions of the world and the fringes cling to the believer, the only voice to be heard is that of the Savior, who is known as the Word of God.
Jesus Has the Answers
In connection with Jesus, we can find the answers we desperately need. Of course, one does not have to possess a prayer shawl to connect with the Savior, or receive healing. The prayer shawl (tallit) is symbolic of what we must do in order to receive the healing touch that we desire. Whether it’s physical or mental healing that we seek for ourselves or others, the first thing we should do is pursue Jesus and His Word. Through the Holy Spirit, the Lord will guide our paths. As we are obedient under His wings, we will be divinely directed to the path of healing.
The Covid pandemic reminds us of what happens when mankind puts all their faith in modern medicine. During this time, an experimental vaccine was touted as the only way to receive healing, but instead, it caused record injuries and death. Fear prompted an irrational allegiance to medical “science,” which led to coercion, shaming, and mandating.
Imagine what would have happened during the pandemic if most Christians had chosen to take refuge under the wings of Jesus instead of following the voices of world leaders, government agencies, and medical authorities. What if the majority of people reached out for the hem of Jesus’s garment, instead of an experimental product?
How would the outcome have been different? I’ll leave that question for you to ponder and answer.
The world is telling us to put our hopes in technology, pharmaceuticals, and modern medicine. But Matthew 14:35-36 tells us to reach out for Jesus.
And when the men of that place recognized him, they sent around to all that region and brought to him all who were sick and implored him that they might only touch the fringe (corner) of his garment (tallit). And as many as touched it were made well.
Last year I attended the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta in New Mexico where I witnessed the launching of hundreds of gigantic hot air balloons. It had been barely a week since the citizens of Israel were brutally attacked on October 7, 2023. As I watched the beautiful balloons rise into the air, I sensed the tremendous healing our world needed, especially the Jewish people. As I pondered this, my husband shouted, “There’s Jesus!” For a moment, I was confused. “What do you mean, there’s Jesus?” I questioned.
And then I saw it! A beautiful hot air balloon was rising in the air and there was a picture of Jesus displayed across it.
The balloon featured a joyous and radiant image of Jesus, designed with the purpose of proclaiming the Good News that Jesus saves. When I saw the balloon, a surge of electricity jolted my heart. As I thought about all the difficulties and turmoil in the world, I came back to the truth that our blessed hope for healing is Jesus.
Intercessors, the need for healing is greater than ever. Let’s boldly take hold of the hem of Jesus’s garment and wait in great expectation for His healing touch.
One of the traditional blessings recited under the tallit is from Psalm 36: How precious is your steadfast love, O God! The children of mankind take refuge in the shadow of your wings (Psalm 36:7).
Lord Jesus, teach us to put our faith and trust in you when it comes to supplying all of our needs, especially healing.

For everyone on this website who is experiencing illness and pain I would like to remind you that Jesus said by his stripes we WERE Healed. Isaiah 53:5 To me that means he has done his perfect work, we need only to supply the trust and faith portion. When are we Christians and followers of Jesus going to start PROCLAIMING HIS PROMISES and stop listening to the devil. The first words out of our mouths should be “devil is a liar” when we get bad news or diagnoses. John 8:44 tells us he is the father of lies — why are we believing him? Let us adopt David’s attitude and say “I shall not die, but live and declare the works of God. ” Maybe that is the part we are missing. Declaring HIS WORKS. His promises and word over our lives and that he HAS healed us. If we were to wake up and go to sleep praising him for healing, repeating his word out loud to ourselves and anyone who will listen, it gets into our spirits and is strengthening. Everyday we should declare we are WELL and HEALED no matter how we feel or what is going on. I was diagnosed with copd, heart failure, diabetes and devil tried in 2019 to tell me that I had lung cancer. The first words out of my mouth when doctor said that was Devil is a liar and I meant that with all my heart. I had smoked for years and been clean then about 10 years. I KNEW God had not saved me and brought me that far for it to end like that. I needed many more days and years in which to praise him. On follow up cat scans three months after Doctor saying that — there were NO SIGNS OF CANCER. I am still taking meds for diabetes and heart but I am not declaring or believing I am ill. I know that I am healed because I trust and BELIEVE God and his word declares it. We have to believe all his word not just parts of it. I used to have to take medication to breathe — pills, and inhalers which now I have not had to use in over 15 years, Thank You Lord. Please everyone, just try repeating daily that WE ARE HEALED. We will live and not die and then take the time to THANK him for your healing no matter how you feel. David also said that Thy word have I hidden in my heart that I might not sin against thee,(Psalms 119:11) but it also works to put his word into our hearts and out our mouths So we can be strengthened and stand up to the devil and his attacks and lies. We all need to start proclaiming how GREAT and MIGHTY our God is instead of giving the devil any belief whatsoever. Remembering that God is not a man that he should lie, neither the son of man that he should repent. Has he not said, and shall he not do it, or hath he spoken and shall he not make it good? (Numbers 23:19)
Not believing his word would be like telling him we think he is a liar and we know that is NOT the case.
Father, I thank you for my healing and I stand with each of these my brothers and sisters proclaiming your healing power and touch in their and their families lives. You are an awesome God and I adore you. To you be all Honor, Glory, Power and Praise for you alone are worthy to be praised!! In the Mighty Name of Jesus we pray. Amen
Please pray, healing, hope, trust, peace, love and joy for friends, Mary and Bill, and their son Nick is battling mental illness and his wife Jacqueline who just had a miscarriage… May God draw them to him, his mercy and grace… Thank you God bless you
I so appreciate the teaching and the encouragement of this article. The electrical bundle to the right side of my heart has weakened noticeably and the left side has started. I sought prayer and anointing from my pastors and elders and believe firmly that Jesus is our healer, but felt led to ask fellow intercessors to pray for me. I pray daily for a number of persons for healing, some of whom need it despairingly, as well as for our nation and for Israel. It is a wonderful time to be alive and to keep learning more about our amazing God!
Please pray for healing from trauma for my family.

Please pray with me in the coming days for a dear friend who has had a hip replacement. Things are not going well in rehab. Both body and spirit, as well as mind and heart, need divine healing. She is a believer, and we know Jesus can and will heal!
This is very timely. I have a respiratory infection and my doctor wants me to get tested for covid. I also have an appointment in 2 days with a Urologist about a CT SCAN. It shows a kidney stone and another undetermined growth. Several diagnosed autoimmune issues too. I keep repeating Psalm 91. Need prayer.
Please pray for healing in my relationship with my sister Terri. It is very toxic. Because she is not a believer and does not have the Holy Spirit I hold myself more responsible for the peace. I need a miracle.
Thank you for this good article on healing. I really appreciate it. We are praying for healing for my husband, Mike, from Liver and Pancreas Cancer. God has shown Himself to be so faithful to us in so many ways. Most recently as we moved from CA to KY 2 years ago. We trust that He will continue to show Himself faithful regardless of what the outcome is with my husband. Thank you for praying for healing for Mike. I really appreciate iT1
Thank you for this lesson on healing. I have been praying for a year for God to heal my eyes from macular degeneration, macular holes and cataracts. He has taught me so much through my daily studies and prayers. This teaching on the tallit is a huge addition to the knowledge and promises from God’s Word that I have been praying. I am seeing quite well but would like to be healed of all eye problems so there is no progression.
Please pray for a serious skin problem. No medicine can help.
Thank you.
Please pray for a complete and irrevocable healing of facial skin irritation.
Forgive me if it sounds trivial but it is very disconcerting. Thank you kindly.
During the covid mandates I was 1 of a few people who said we should be packing the houses of worship seeking God’s healing grace. I believed that then and I believe it now. O God send your healing grace to all who in the world who are in need of it. Amen. Trust in God He loves us. 🙏😇🙏
Please pray for my dad’s cousin Phil, not a Christian, 92, in the hospital with stomach bleeding. Please also pray for my boss Alex’s mom, 84, on hospice. “For nothing will be impossible with God.” Thank you so much
When I “amened” the comments below, it was my way of saying, “I do pray for you, because I too have been, and currently are in need of healing and have compassion for you.” My husband and I both deal with diabetic symptoms, and other health issues. I have to admit that lifestyle choices are primarily to blame, and I’ve repented of that. I have experienced supernatural healing (thyroid imbalance), deliverance, natural remedies, medical intervention, etc. – basically every possible path to healing available. And I am eternally grateful for all of them. But I believe that the enemy wants to take us out in this day, because the spiritual battle is becoming more intense and he wants us to doubt God’s goodness and power. So it is important to stand in faith, and believe the Biblical truth Angela has shared regarding healing. Let’s take our stand together! YHVH has the final Word!!!

You need to back up some of your statements with proven facts……proven facts.
Many, many died from Covid because they did not take the vaccination.
The government was damed if they do and damned if they don’t.
I a really tired of even Christian organizations who think they know it all.
Yes. Jesus is our Great Physician…..and he has given us Christians wisdom and discernment. Some people needed to take the vaccination and it did save thousands.
Enough of your soapbox over Covid and bashing the government for rushing to do something to save lives when we were threatened by a horrible virus.
You’re wrong, there is proof of the bad effects of the covid vax, and I don’t think it saved anyone’s life.
Those who died from covid were mostly ones who were hospitalized, intubated and given remdesivir, which is known to cause death. Too many deaths.
Many died from SARS CoV2 because physicians refused to treat them. Told us not to go to the ER until we could not breathe. By then the spike proteins were deep in the lungs. Our government refused to let doctors prescribe proven treatments for upper respiratory infection.
There are no studies or statistics that uphold your statements on the vaccine. Pfizer has admitted that they never said it would prevent COVID nor would the vaccine keep COVID from spreading. They did not do the normal required testing and distributed a vaccine that has done more harm than good. So many teens and young adults with heart inflammation and so many experiencing sudden death – often mysterious blood clotting. Vaccine injury is no joke and far more will pass from the vaccines than were helped, for sure. It’s very sad.
I need prayer for acid reflux, that keeps me up all night so that I can’t get the rest I need. Thank you for the prayers and the wonderful verses above.
Thank you for sharing that encouragement! My husband has suffered with chronic muscle/joint pain for 14 years and has done countless natural treatments. He also lived without a thyroid after cancer was found and it was removed. We are out of all other options except miraculous healing. We have 5 kids and he is the sole breadwinner for our family. Thank you all for the prayers!!
DEAREST LORD:
PLEASE HEALME, MY BODY HAS ISSUES, MY SOU HAS ISSUES, MY SPIRIT HAS ISSUES, OH LORD ALLOF ME HAS ISSUES AND I NEED YOU PERSONAL INTERVENTION. PLEASE HEALME, GUIDE ME, CORRECT ME, INTERPRET FOR ME THE TRUTHS OF YOUR WORDS.
I ASK IN JESUS’NAME
AMEN
I’ve been diagnosed with Occipital Neuralgia since 2009. Meds only stopped it from happening every day to maybe 1x a week. My husband died in 2021 and I moved in 2023. They have gotten worse. It’s like a hot poker,starting at base of skull goes up over my head on my right side.. it is debilitating.
I pray for garments of praise for a spirit of heaviness. And am believing with you for complete healing.
Nine years ago I was diagnosed with cancer of the esophagus. We had a pastors conference at our church at the end of the service all the pastors were asked to go to the front and we were asked to go forward and pray for them. After I had prayed for a pastor and her husband from Canada, she asked if there was anything I needed prayer for I told her about my cancer she laid her hands on my chest and prayed over me. At my next doctors appointment they did an upper scope and the growth was gone. I still had to have surgery and my esophagus was removed. I have been cancer free ever since. I give all the Glory to the Lord my Savior. Since then I’ve had three heart attacks. I was put on cholesterol medication. I talked about it with my Christian Chiropractor and my druggist about this medication and all the side effects that could come from it I decided not to take it. Instead I started taking natural products. The next time I went to the heart doctor, he did bloodwork I had not told him I wasn’t taking the medication he prescribed. He looked at the results of my blood work and said boy you’re cholesterol is well under control. Again all I can say is Praise the Lord Jesus for giving me directions in my journey.
I had colon surgery on Aug. 9th. I’m in quite a bit of pain and growing weary of this whole process. I want God to get the glory.
I pray for the healing of my husband Joe’s Parkinson’s.
I need healing from sudden, significant, unexplained weight gain. 50 pounds out of nowhere. Nothing natural has worked to reverse it. I believe God wants to do a miracle and heal me.
Please consider a book by Henry W. Wright “A More Excellent Way.” Spiritual roots of disease.
Wow incredible testament to the reality of the power of Jesus. I too believe I was healed from Pancreatic cancer 8 years ago. Having been diagnosed and had chemo then major surgery. They said I’d have 2-5 years but here I am 8 years later. I had many prayers laid over me. I took it seriously and never looked back. PTL 🙏
Pray that my hip/leg is healed so I can continue serving the Lord with Samaritan Purse trips.

Please pray for friend, Katrina who needs back surgery.
Please pray for my sister Cheryl, who was recently diagnosed with ALS. But she recently researched a different hereditary degenerative disease that she thinks may be the correct diagnosis. Pray for clarity and for healing.
Please pray for my son, Jason. He has had Crohn’s for many years and multiple surgeries to remove intestines. He cannot have anymore surgeries without being fed through an IV the rest of his life. He is 46 years old. I have been praying for a miracle for a very long time. He is a Christian but is now on an infusion with other bad side effects. Please pray He would touch the hem of Gods garment and receive His miracle! We never give up! All things are possible! We have seen God do a medical miracle in our family and so I press on in persistence for my sons miracle as well! Thank you for your prayers!
Amen!! Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever! Our God is a healing God!

Please pray for my daughter who has lupus. She has already battled kidney failure and is now having concerns over heart issues. She is mother to 6 young children. Pray for healing that she would be healthy and strong for her family in this generation and the next. She loves Jesus but struggles to believe He will actually heal her. Thank you.
Lord Jesus, our healer and Savior…I lift up my daughter to you and pray for complete eradication of lupus from her body. Be glorified before a watching world that you are truly the Great Physician and your love is for all who would come to you. John 3:16
Please pray for restoration of a broken relationship with my son John. We have been estranged for 2 years and he won’t communicate with me so we can reconcile.
I have a spinal cord injury that has caused me to have weakness on my left side. My doctor has told me there is nothing that can be done other than to keep exercising to prevent further deterioration. My right leg drags and it often causes me to trip and fall.
I am praying for healing for my family. Mom has high blood pressure that doctors can’t seem to get under control. She is also diabetic. My husband was diagnosed with diabetes a couple of months ago. Praying for friends in church. We have lost one precious sister to cancer and another was just diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer. Praying for myself-I am a breast cancer survivor. Lately, I have been struggling with ongoing body pain. Go to doctor and everything is fine. There are so many needs-I willingly stand with all of you in prayer for our health and mental issues.
My husband, Dion, has a kidney disease that was discovered when he was twelve. Now at the age of 56 we have started the process of getting onto the transplant list. Through that process we found cancer on his left kidney. The doctors say there is nothing to be done about the kidney disease it is degenerative & leads only to transplant. We are praying for a miracle of complete healing of both the cancer & his kidneys.
I’m praying and believing for son Jared to be healed of his Tourette’s motor tics I’m praying and believing that I would be healed of ulcerative colitis we are praying, and believing that my sister Debbie will be healed of stage four breast cancer that her husband Randy will be healed of liver cancer that they has spread. They are both walking through the valley of the shadow of death. Praying that they would turn to the Lord and ask for healing Praying for our aunt Betty that we live with and take care of who has advanced Alzheimer’s believing that God can heal her brain in Jesus holy name we ask this amen amen 🙏🙏
I have back and neck injuries that I am believing for healing and the Lord’s touch. I give him all the praise and glory.
Lord, there seems to be more and more people I hear about who have undiagnosed illnesses. Younger doctors and nurses seem to be so specialized they don’t recognize anything not in their small area of expertise. Consequently we are sent from specialist to specialist with no results. Dr. Jesus i my refuge and I always seek him first for healing and after a period of time I may go to a doctor because Jesus uses doctors too, along with prayers of faith. So Jesus we pray that you lead people in horrible pain to the Great Physician and to the right sources of healing. Only you know the root cause of the illness Jesus. Help them find deliverance if the malady is caused through demonic activity. Help us become more in tune with spiritual warfare to fight the enemy, who ultimately causes all afflictions. Holy Spirit, use physical ailments to bring spiritual healing. We ask all these things in Jesus’ powerful, healing name, who hears and answers prayers. Thank you Jesus.
I took painkillers I didn’t need for 20 years, then needed laxatives now my colon is broken because I didn’t listen to the holy spirit. They say l need a stoma. My prostate is enlarged as well l have lived an idolatrous life. I long for another chance to get it right and am desperate for healing. I have been told I have sowed to the flesh and reaped destruction. It’s true I knew l was doing wrong, my pastor of 36 years has blocked me and told me there’s nothing to give and nothing more he can do for me. My wife has left because I was emotionally abusive. Basically l am living in ruins, presumed upon Grace and didn’t live right. Desperate for restoration and healing. Please pray for me, please pray for healing.
Dear Ian
We are never so lost or down that God doesn’t hear our prayers. I stand in prayer and agreement with you for God to hear your prayers and fill you to over flowing with his Holy Spirit. I am adding you to my prayers daily. Get into Psalms and read those. They contain many of the promises of God and are so strengthening to your spirit. Psalms 91, 27, 103 and 1 are all excellent places to start. I love Psalms 119:11 Thy word have I written upon my heart so I might not sin against thee. After memorizing that and repeating it daily, it showed me what I needed to do (commit to memory) his word so I can live as close to what he desires as I can.
Praying for you to hold on, keep the faith and know that unlike your doctor — God promises to NOT FORSAKE YOU.
I was touched by your remorse and guilt. I am praying that you will forgive yourself and let Jesus’ love envelope you. I am praying that will help you not feel so alone. I pray too, that you will find another church and pastor to talk with. Jesus never gave up hope on anyone and he will always forgive. We are all sinners and God does not see one sin as worse than another. Try not to compare your sins with others or see them as worse than others. I have that problem myself, so know the sorrow that mind set brings.

I have been told I need neck surgery, but am believing Jesus will heal me! Neck pain, numbness, balance issues must leave in Jesus Name! Holding on to Him to restore my health. Thank you and Bless you all for praying for me.
