Scripture Prayers for Healing

all my diseases, all of them. He redeems my life from destruction. He fills my mouth with good
things. He fills my life with good things so that my youth is renewed. (Psalm 103:3-5) I get
recharged. Even though my outward man is growing older, my inward man is being recharged,
being renewed. (2 Corinthians 4:16) Hallelujah.
So, instead of being aged prematurely by a life of sin, worry, and fear, the aging process should
be muted with us. Yes, we’re aging, but it should be affected positively. It’s only fair that if
living hard and wrong is going to age you prematurely, then there ought to be a benefit to living
right—that you age slower and better. You look better while you’re doing it.
Did you know it’s not just the skin, the hair, and the features that give beauty? It’s the glory on
the inside. It’s the glory on the other side of the face. It’s the spirit of a man or a woman that
radiates through their physical being, and when the glory of God is strong enough in a man or a
woman, it can fix things in their body, and renew them, and rejuvenate them so that their youth is
renewed.
When Brother Kenneth E. Hagin reached his sixties, around age 65, someone asked him, “Are
you going to retire?” If you ever heard him and saw him, you probably know what I’m going to
say next. He would hold onto the podium, and he’d kick and say, “Retire?! I’m going to refire!”
I’m not going to retire, I’m going to refire. Well, we have a scripture for that. Our youth can be
renewed. (Psalm 103:5)
You might say, “Boy, the last ten years, I’ve kind of slowed down. I’ve gotten weaker,” and
you’re kind of dreading the next ten years. No, don’t think like that. You can be renewed. You
can be renewed so the next ten years are actually better than the last ten. That’s right. Yes, you’re
aging, but you can get renewed.
Say this:
That’s me. I’m getting renewed. He’s renewing my youth.
He’s renewing my strength. Thank God for this benefit.
Just like forgiveness of sin is a benefit that belongs to you in Christ, your youth getting renewed
is a benefit. Your life being filled with good things is a benefit. Being healed is a benefit. I’m
claiming all of my benefits. How about you? I’m claiming all of my benefits.
Say this:
“I’m righteous, I’m healed, and I’m rich. I’m being renewed.”
You’ve already heard some of these things, and your head has heard them maybe four or five
times, but your spirit needs to hear it again. It has a pounding effect on your spirit—pushing
death out, and pushing unbelief and fear out of you. That’s why we just keep on saying and
believing it.
Do you see a connection between forgiveness and healing? They’re both benefits that belong to
us.
