Intercessory prayer points for the church


Why intercessory prayer points for the church? The use of the word church as a noun in modern day can often be divided into two forms. One being “church” and the other being “the church”. The latter refers to the body of Christ as a whole.

The church is that bride that the Lord will return for. Our days are marked by a massive blow of our ministries and their offsprings. Today more than ever, the gifts of the spirit are more spread, a fulfilment of the scripture that promises that in the last days the Lord would pour his spirit on all man.  

Acts 2:17: And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:

That outpouring in evident today. The prophetic gift is alive and well, as are all other gifts of the spirit! We bless the Lord for his grace. With this great outpour there has been a crisis of a lack of discipleship, or in the more unfortunate cases, gifted individuals are discipled by gifted men/women who have lost their way in ministry. They have fallen into the trap of self love.

2 Timothy 3:2 King James Version (KJV)

2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

You only need to look around, you will see this. The love and glorifying of money is more prevalent in the church today than it has ever been, which is a toxic spirit. We are fed the lie that the camel can suddenly squeeze through the eye of a needle.

For others it is with the greatest and noblest intentions of doing great for Christ that they have become overcome by a desire to chase their own glory. This is one of the often implicated reasons for churches wanting to brand “themselves” differently.

We have a desire to set ourselves apart so our efforts can be recognised, so we may be patted on the back. We forget that our God see in secret to reward in public. Our reward is from man, when we seek man’s approval.

Denominational Spirit: prayer topics for church

Denominational spirit has made it such that I feel I am better than the next person because of where I worship. Have we forgotten the words of Christ when asked about place of worship?

John 4:23-24 New International Version (NIV)

23 Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. 24 God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.”

We as a church have become so bent on giving Christ a bride that he has not requested. Casting Crown coined the phrase “The God we want or the God who he is.” 

  • Lord teach me to love your bride like you did.

This is the reason why our church leaders begin to fashion themselves as rockstars and performers. The man of God we want, not necessarily the one God wants. Performances fill pews. Filled pews fill offering baskets. God forgive us all for being part of these charades that we put on when we play church in the absence of the one we should be meeting with. 

  • 30+ Powerful Intercessory prayer points for the church 1

My church/our church vs the church: Prayer for church

There is a sort of syndrome within the church, that “I am better than you”, “My pastor is more anointed than yours”, “Our church is cooler/better than yours.” We will usually deny this, because it clearly isn’t very Christian of us. Some of us will sooner go evangelising than simply love their neighbour from a different Christian denomination.

It makes sense, we spend so much money on building that will then need to be filled with people who can give to it in order to keep the doors open. We have a need to say or present ourselves as the best “church” so we can keep these people in. There is no Jew, Gentile, Anglican, Catholic, Pentecostal or anything else. We are of Christ.

Warfare prayer points for the church: Will he find faith?

Luke 18:8 King James Version (KJV)

8 I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?

  • Father forgive us for increasingly becoming a faithless generation.
  • Make me a man/woman of great faith.
  • Grant me grace, wisdom and boldness to inspire faith in others.
  • May your church become a true city on a hill that cannot be hidden. 
  • Our light will shine before man that they may see your goodness again!

Lovers of self: intercessory prayer points for the church

Our preachers are becoming more concerned with building brands. This is the way of the world. When our leader within the church are all focused on “me” “me” “me”, we have a problem. “I healed”, “I prophesy” “I I I”. God help us all. We are warned that these times are upon us. It is not the leaders’ fault. The flock is equally culpable.

We fill the pews of those that “look” good or “look” blessed. The empty pews are of those that don’t look the part, but are screaming for the righteousness of God. We forget that it has never been about the looks. Christ was described as “there was nothing that would attract us to him”, King David was not brought forward for anointing because he didn’t look the part. 

The church of all places should know that God is not looking at the things that we look at. Material is not an indicator of blessings from above. Satan gives that to those who bow to him, do you not remember Christ being tempted? He was offered the same things that we now think pastors/prophets are blessed for having!

2 Timothy 3-5 (KJV)

3 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.

2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,

4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;

5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

  • Father make our leaders a people like you. 
  • Raise leaders who lead like you did, washing feet and giving up your life.
  • Remove from their hearts boastfulness, pride and all that is ungodly.
  • Raise leaders to not covet what the world has, but cast their eyes fully upon you.
  • May we not desire and love pleasure more than we do you!

Hurt in the church

The church repeatedly fails to be a true representation of our father in heaven. A lot of people come into the church with misplaced expectations and end up leaving it more broken. We are supposed to be a place of healing, a sanctuary for the weary and heavy ladened. Yet, we don’t always do that. At the core of it all, we need prayer points for the church with bible verses, so we can pray the word of God.

  • Lord forgive us for those we have turned away from you. 
  • Forgive us for times that we unknowingly stand in the way of people trying to get to you.
  • Give us a heart for the broken! A heart like you have. 
  • We pray for those whose view of Christ has been marred by how the church has represented him.
  • Make us true, authentic representation of the father. May they see you when they see us!

Open our eyes to False teachers

John Bevere eloquently put this across. It is not the blatantly false that will get us, it is those that “seem” right to man, which will lead us to death. False teachers creep into our midst by seeming right. Our people are desperate, they are prey on because of that desperation. 

2 Peter 2 (KJV)

2 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.

  • Lord for every false teacher arising, raise ten men and women to stand for the truth.
  • May our ears not kindle to heresies.
  • Your word says that you sheep know your voice, teach us to know what is not of you when it is presented to us, no matter who presents it or how it is dressed.
  • May we not be swayed by miracles and presentation. Satan comes as an angel of light. 

Discernment

Our times perhaps more than any that have come before is in desperate need of discernment. We are constantly bombarded with information. Christian and pseudo-Christian, as well as downright evil is thrown at us.

The scripture tells us that there is a certain way that seems right to “man”, but in the end leads to death. Discernment is of the spirit, it transcends man. Our prayer is that the Lord would equip us as a body of Christ to discern what is truth and what is not.

1 John 4:1 – Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

  • Lord open our eyes to see the falsehood even in those we may hold in high esteem.
  • May nothing stand in the way of seeing your truth.
  • Open the eyes of those who have been deceived by false teachers.
  • Open the eyes of those who may be unwittingly false representing you.
  • Makes us lovers and defenders of truth, at all cost.

Arrogance/Refusing correction

Psalm 105:14-15

14he allowed no one to oppress them;
he rebuked kings on their account,
15saying, “Touch not my anointed ones,
do my prophets no harm!”

This is a scripture that we see thrown around often nowadays. In context, God would never let his prophets be oppressed. They would wander from one kingdom to another serving. His warning and protection went ahead of them. 

Today, it is at times used as an excuse for men of God to do wrong. Who are you to correct me? Do you not know that God says, “Touch not my anointed ones!”

  • Touch not my anointed ones

Peter corrected by Paul

Today’s church is filled with leadership that is keen to have people wash their feet, than to be the ones who wash the people’s feet. We have a sense of grandeur which is not Christlike. You see, Paul, who was fairly new to the faith called out Peter, a veteran who had walked with and broken bread with Jesus himself. Peter was humble enough to accept correction. Why are we as leaders of today not walking in that same wisdom?

  • A fool hates correction, Lord may we not be fools.
  • Build humility in our leaders.
  • Make our leaders correctable and coachable.

Whoso loveth instruction loveth knowledge: but he that hateth reproof is brutish.

  • Teach us to love like you did.
  • Open our eyes to our own faults.
  • Search our hearts oh Lord. Remove any wickedness.

Correction built on relationship is the model that Christ created. It worked for him. The Pharisees were believers. This is what shows you the at times the greatest opposition to Christ comes from within the church. After all it is the church that denied him, it is religion that crucified him.

Are we standing in opposition to Christ because tradition and denomination don’t sit quite right with who he is? None of us is immune to deception. This is why the man God said was “after his heart” would pray that that very heart be searched by God.  

Also pray for church leaders and pastors

How to PRAY FOR AUSTRIA

 

PRAY FOR AUSTRIA 2

 

Name: Austria

 

Some of her most famous sons are know the world over. Names like Mozart and Schwarzenegger come to mind. Austria has also given us the Porsche.

 

Geographical detail:

 

Austria is a Central European country, that shares her borders with Germany, Italy, Switzerland, Slovakia, Hungary and Slovenia. Austria is very mountainous. This is one of the reason why she draws a lot of thrill seeking travellers. The Krimml Falls and Großglockner Peak are major drawing factors. 62% of Austria is made up of the mountainous region known as the Austrian Alps. This means that there is a concentrated population in the capital city, Vienna for economic opportunities. An estimated 25% of the population resides in Vienna.

Austria

 

 

Population:

8 770 000, per World Bank

 

 

Brief History:

 

The assassination of Austrian heir, Archduke Ferdinand triggered the start of the first world war.  Austria became a republic at the end of the first World War, which they lost, as part of the Central Powers. These also included Germany and Italy. The War put a strain on the Austro-Hungary empire, which disintegrated. By the end of the war, Austria would be declared a republic. This was preceded by the abdication of the emperor.

 

Austria struggled to recover from the devastation of the war, as did other nations. This progression was further stalled by the depression.

austria architecture

Nazi Germany had an eye for the Austrian empire. They attempted to force their hand by staging a coup in 1934, which the Austrian troops successful defended their sovereignty against. The German troops occupied Austria 4 years later, after the resignation of Chancellor Shuschnigg under pressure.

 

German presence in Austria led to devastation by the allies during the second world war. They would also be invaded by the Russian army, and then split by the allies. It was not until 1955 that Austria would regain their sovereignty.

 

Between 1945 and 1983, 1,942,782 refugees from more than 30 countries came to Austria, of whom about 590,000 became Austrian citizens (including some 302,000 German-speaking expatriates from Czechoslovakia, Romania, and Yugoslavia).

 

 

 

Leaders: President and/or Prime minister

 

Alexander Van der Bellen is the 12th and current President of Austria since 26 January 2017. Wikipedia

Political brief: General politics

 

Austrian politics have been largely marred by the dirty hands of outside influence, as you would have gathered from the brief history section above. Today, Austria is a democratic nation.

 

The Social Democrats and the conservative people’s party have largely been in control of the nation since the end of the world war. This is something that recently faced challenge from the widely publicised rise of the nationalist Freedom party, which recently gained popularity. This came at an intriguing at, as it coincided with the rise of Donald Trump in the US political scene.

 

Economy brief:

GDP: 44,176.52 USD ‎(2016), per WorldBank

 

 

The average unemployment rate from 1960 to 2013 is 4.59%, the second lowest in the European Union after Luxembourg.

 

Austrians continue to fight the problem of acid rain which has damaged 25% of the country’s forests.

 

50.8% overweight men in Austria.

Prayer Points for HEALING
3 John 1:2 Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.

Saying a prayer for the sick? I believe that at one point or another in our walk with Christ, a time comes for something within us to be healed. So often many of us or our loved ones battle life threatening illnesses that cause us to not only question the mere existence of God, but more so His ability or perhaps His desire to heal us. That is where prayer for healing comes alive.

I am convinced now more than ever that we serve a God who not only has the power to bring healing into our bodies but he also has the power to bring healing into our hearts and it is His good pleasure to do so. The following prayer points are designed to assist you, during such a time, where a loved one or you are need of physical, emotional or spiritual healing.

I have listed some of what I believe to be the essential keys to activating the will of God in your life, purely based on my own experience and relationship with the Lord. Our team has worked on these prayer points for healing, may the Lord use them for his glory. 

Dear God

Father we bless your name for these prayer points for healing. We speak a blessing and healing to all who will pray with us, and those who will be prayed for. Holy Spirit, we ask for your guidance for all who use these prayer points. Let it not be about what we have written here, but about who you are. May healing be their portion. We speak health and wholeness to every cell in their body. Healing to malignant cells, inexplicable pain, disease that is yet to be diagnosed, emotional healing, mental healing and spiritual healing. We ask this in Jesus’ name. Amen

Prayer for Healing

FAITH prayer for the sick

My friend, I have boldened, I have italicised, I have underlined and I have magnified the word faith because in my experience that is the foundation, the catalyst, the driver and the basis upon which our entire relationship with God is hinged.

Hebrews 11:1 says “Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for and the conviction of things not seen.”

In my walk with God, I would say without a doubt the most challenging part has been the ‘faith part’.

Prayer for health hinges on God being a loving father, a capable father and one who delights in giving health.

Not so much believing that God can heal me but more so believing that God wants to heal me. Me. As in me. Simple old me. That God would be willing to take the time to touch and change my situation around in favour of victory for me?

Many of you reading this may identify with what I have just said. It’s not that you don’t believe that God has the power or the authority to heal you or your loved one, it’s that God would actually want to do it for you?

Sure, He has done it for so many of those other people. But for me? This has been my struggle, but through prayer and the teaching of God’s word, I have come to realize that God not only can bring healing into my life but that He wants to bring healing into my life. Yes, me, as in me as in simple little old me! He has ears for my prayer for healing!

  • Lord, I pray for the conviction that you are God and that you can bring healing into my body, my heart or my spirit.
  • I am convinced beyond a shadow of a doubt that you have the power, the authority and the dominion to subdue the illness, sickness or challenge that I am currently facing.
  • Lord, I want to get well! I want to be restored to full health and I know that that is in line with your promise.

PRAYER FOR THE SICK

 

Lean not on your own understanding

There is always something you cannot see controlling what you can. Ephesians 6:12 says

“For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.” (NKJV)

If we could only understand this, I believe that our entire approach towards sickness and life’s challenges would not only be altered but I believe that we will be one step closer to the victory that awaits us in Jesus Christ.

If satan can only shift your focus from God and get you to focus on your illness he knows that he will not only have stripped you off of the armour to fight but that he would have misdirected all your efforts.

When faced with a life-threatening diagnoses from the doctor so many of us begin to fight, physically. We wage war not only on ourselves but sometimes we wage war on the people around us. My friend, war is indeed necessary, but our battle is not in the physical.

Our battle is purely spiritual. We attain our healing on our knees, the battle is won through prayer! And until we can get to a point where we understand fully that our healing is from God and although God is willing and able to bring healing into our lives, our prayer is the vessel that we use to communicate with Him and subsequently grants Him the leeway to act in our lives on our behalf.

  • Father in this time of trial I make a conscious decision to believe your word and to believe your report over that of the worlds or the doctor.
  • I surrender it all to you, I surrender the medical report, the pain and illness to you I spread the lies of satan before your throne. (King Hezekiah)
  • I pray that you would provide me with an understanding that is greater than my own. That you would give me the spiritual eyes to see this situation the way you see it, from your perspective and not from the enemies. “Lean not on your own understanding, in all your ways seek the will of God, and He will make your paths straight
  • Show me the way in which I am to go. Show me the path I am to take as I walk down this journey. – Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I will fear no evil
  • Lord, I pray that you would give me the strength to put on the full armour of God and stand firmly against the wiles of the devil.

Prayer, praise and worship

When you pray something supernatural happens. Mountains move when you pray. Strongholds break when you pray. Waters part, when you pray. Victory is delivered, when you pray! Prayer is not a means or a method to guilt trip God or to convince God to heal us. Similarly, when you praise God when you love God, you don’t do that because our God has a big ego.

You praise Him because through praising our God, amongst other things, you get perspective. You come into alignment with that which is happening in the unseen and you take your rightful place in the choirs of Heaven as you come together with the saints and the angels in singing songs of praise to Our God.

Through praising God you invite God into the depths of your Spirit, and you not only pledge your allegiance to Him but you invite Him to sit and reign on the throne of your life. “But You are Holy, Enthroned in the praises of Israel” Ps. 22:3 (NKJV)

Dear friend, when you praise God you are building the throne that God shall sit upon as He reigns in your situation! When you praise God in the midst of illness and sickness you are letting God know that you give Him full authority and dominion over your situation. Above that, you are letting the enemy that he doesn’t have your focus and that he doesn’t have dominion over your thoughts.

  • Father, I praise You and worship You during this difficult time.
  • I give you full authority and dominion over my health.
  • I know that You know the plans You have for me, plans to prosper me and not to harm me, plans to give me hope and a future.
  • Although I have yet to experience my victory in this, I will praise and bless your name. (Jehoshaphat)
PRAYER FOR MY HEALING
80 Powerful Marriage Prayer Points

 

The stumbling block of Iniquity

Confession is an important component of any child of God’s. So many of us seek to hear from God and we seek to meet with God whilst we hold hostage so much hurt, pain, anger, unforgiveness or sin neatly tucked away in the dark corners of our hearts, but just because we manage to fool those around us we think we can fool God. Healing starts from within. When conscience is clear, faith for your healing rises.

There are certain men that came to the prophet Ezekiel seeking wisdom and guidance. These men were according to the average Israelite ‘godly men’. Men that in public claimed to fear God and walk according to His instruction. God’s response to these men through the prophet is interesting and eye-opening and so relevant in today’s world. He said, “Son of man, these men have set up idols in their heart…” (Ezekiel 14:3).

The Lord was saying, “These men have come to you saying they want to hear a word from me — that they want to walk in obedience to my commands. But they are lying. They have secret sins in their life”.

Due to Saul’s inward battle with jealousy and pride, the Lord would not speak to him for the rest of his days on this earth. He sought the word of the Lord, but there was no response. Our sins create a barrier between us and God. So many of us may be believing God for healing yet in the same breath-holding onto that adulterous affair. Something has got to give.

I would rather it be sin and not my relationship with God. We live in a world that is so afraid to offend. So afraid to speak the truth for fear we might say something contrary to one’s convictions. Thank goodness the word of God is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow.

We must confess our sins, we must seek to have right standing with God and because we live under Grace, if we confess our sins, he is just and faithful and will not only forgive us our sins but he will cleanse us off of all unrighteousness.

  • Lord, I come before your throne of grace with confession on my lips and repentance in my heart. Lord, I confess that I ……………………………..
  • I thank You for forgiving my sins and providing me with right standing with you
  • Help me to forgive those who trespass against me as You have forgiven me.
  • I pray that Your Holy Spirit would minister to me regarding more areas in my life that need confession and where I may need forgiveness from You.
  • I give you permission to uncover all stumbling blocks of iniquity that stand in the way of my fellowship with you in the name of Jesus.

 

Fear does not disqualify you from receiving victory

I don’t know in what area you are seeking healing for. It could be a chronic illness, it could be an infrequent headache or it could be that you need God to cure your broken heart. All qualify and Jesus sees you and He understands you.

As a child of God, I have so often found myself feeling afraid of the outcome and for some reason, I was convinced that fear is the opposite of faith. Fear is not the opposite of faith. In fact, God understands our fear.

God understands that it is scary to receive that medical report. God understands that it is heartbreaking to not know how many Christmas’ you have left with your loved ones.

Having those thoughts does not mean that you lack faith. Subsequently pretending as if you do not have those thoughts, also does not mean that you have faith.

The opposite of faith, I believe, is self-sufficiency. It is taking matters into your own hands and believing that in your own and due to your own strength, you will be healed. That is a lack of faith.

So many of us are weary from the match of life because we won’t pass the ball onto Jesus. Imagine yourself in a football, rugby or soccer match. On one team you have God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, maybe a couple of Angels and you. On the other team, you have Satan and his followers.

The Trinity team is yelling and cheering you on to pass the ball so they can score or make a touchdown, but because you refuse to throw the ball you find yourself dodging satan and his demons and by the end of the match you have not only lost the match but you are exhausted.

Why? Because you simply wouldn’t pass the ball.  This is what we do in life, with our health, with our children and our jobs or lack thereof or with our marriages. We refuse to pass the ball onto Jesus so that He can deliver our victory to us.

  • Lord Jesus, I release myself from the pressures of trying to achieve victory on my own.
  • I relinquish all that needs to be done, to You. I hand the ball over for I know that victory belongs to You, Jesus.
  • I believe that you can, I believe you will and I believe you want to heal me.

……….He was elevated to the place of highest honor and given a name above ALL names, that at the name of Jesus, every knee would bow, in Heaven, on earth and under the earth and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.

I love this scripture. In fact, it may very well be one of my favourite scriptures for one simple reason. It gives me perspective! It lets me know, it lets my health know, it lets the devil know, that MY King is the King of Kings. MY Lord is the Lord of Lords!

So, if your attacker’s name is cancer, you tell it that there is a name greater than cancer. If your attacker is unemployment, you tell unemployment that you serve a God whose name is above unemployment. If your attacker is divorce, you tell divorce that your Gods name is above the name of divorce. Picture your illness standing before you.

Personify your illness in your mind if you have to. Then as this sickness stands before you I want you to stand squarely and firmly opposite this personified illness and I want you to imagine that at the exact moment that you scream out the name of Jesus with all your might and all the strength that you could possibly muster, this disease personified helplessly falls to its knees.

Overcome by an overwhelming presence that strips it off of any authority that it thought it had over you. My friend this is what happens when we come against our battles in the name of Jesus. Little old David, said to Big old Goliath, “You come against me with sword, spear and javelin but I come against you in the Name of the Lord Almighty the God of the armies of Israel whom you have defied!” So if whatever lays ahead of you seems too great and mighty to bare, I urge you to get some perspective!

  • Father, I pray that you would open my eyes to see that You reign over my health and that only Your name is above all names.
  • Help me walk firmly in the truth that I stand from a perspective of victory which you achieved on the cross just for me.
  • Lord grant me the wisdom to see this Goliath that stands before me for the powerless giant that it actually is.
  • Help me to grasp the fact that you have no equal. You have no counterpart. You are not seated on Your throne struggling to come up with the next move.
  • I pray for perspective Lord.

Prayer for health: Do you want to get well?

The healing at Bethesda is a well-known story in the bible. This is the one where Jesus asked the invalid “What can I do for you?” I remember reading this for the first time and wondering, “How could Jesus ask such a thing?” Of course, the man wants to get well. Who wouldn’t?

Why do you think Jesus asked such an obvious question? I believe that Jesus saw something in this man that He probably sees in many of us that are in need of healing but are no longer waiting on God for that healing.

When Jesus asked him if he wanted to get well this man clearly did not recognize that he was talking to the One True Healer. The One True God. The Messiah. Instead, he started telling Jesus that he had no one to help him into the pool when the water was stirred up.

In some versions of the bible, it says that an angel of the Lord would come and stir up this pool of water and the first person to get into the pool after it had been stirred would be healed. This man did not know that the God of this angel is the One that was asking him, ‘Do you want to get well?’

How many of us would recognize Jesus if He asked us, ‘Do you want to get well?’ We live in an unfortunate time where children of God are worshipping men of God more than they worship God Himself. The man in this scripture indeed turned to God, He knew to seek help from God but he sought God with the wrong goal in mind.

As you walk through this journey, seeking healing from the Lord. Remember that Gods desire is to have direct fellowship with YOU on a daily basis.

PRAYER FOR HEALTH
  • Dear Father, I want to get well!
  • I pray that you would help me to always keep my eyes focused on you and not on the vessels that you have gifted us with to remind us of your word. (I lift my eyes up to the hill)
  • Where healing is merely mine for the taking, grant me the wisdom to know when to pick my mat up and walk!
  • Renew my spirit daily. That I may never become discouraged and lose focus of You when you come knocking.

Praying for the sick

Meditate on the following verses:

Isaiah  53:4-5 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him, and with his stripes, we are healed.

Psalms  107:19-20Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he saveth them out of their distresses. He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.

Psalms  30:2-3O LORD my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me.  30:3 O LORD, thou hast brought up my soul from the grave: thou hast kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit.

Psalms  103:2-4 Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits: Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies;

Jeremiah  17:14 Heal me, O LORD, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for thou art my praise.

1 Peter  2:24Who his own self bare our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.

Philippians  4:6-8 Be careful with nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
