Call 911 first in a medical emergency. Outside the U.S., call your local emergency number. Get medical help before you pray.

Bible reading

Isaiah 55:10–11; Luke 9:1–2; Acts 3:6–8

Jesus gave the twelve power and authority and sent them to heal the sick. Peter spoke in Jesus' name, and a man who could not walk was healed.

Straight from the Bible

Isaiah 55:10–11

For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

Plain wordsRain and snow fall and soak the ground so seed can grow and bread can be made. So it is with God's word: it never comes back empty. It does the work He sends it to do.

TagalogGaya ng ulan at niyebe na bumabagsak mula sa langit at hindi bumabalik nang walang nagawa, kundi dinidilig ang lupa upang tumubo ang halaman, magkaroon ng binhi ang naghahasik, at tinapay ang kumakain — gayon din ang salita ng Diyos na lumalabas sa Kanyang bibig: hindi ito babalik na walang kabuluhan. Gagawin nito ang Kanyang kalooban at magtatagumpay sa layuning ipinadala Niya.

Bible words are quoted directly from the King James Version, an old translation that is free to use. The plain-words line and the Tagalog line are written for this app to help you follow the meaning.

Put it into practice

  1. 1

    Call 911 first for chest pain, trouble breathing, signs of a stroke, or another medical emergency. Follow the emergency operator's instructions.

  2. 2

    Keep getting medical care. Do not delay help or stop treatment to pray.

  3. 3

    With the person's permission, pray in Jesus' name. You may say: In the name of Jesus Christ, I command healing. Look to Jesus as the source of authority, not your own strength.

  4. 4

    Pray with care and respect. Do not ask anyone to test healing with a risky action. Leave the outcome with God.

A simple prayer

In the name of Jesus Christ, I command healing. Jesus, bring healing and peace. Guide the medical team and help us receive the care we need. Amen.
