1. Remove blockages by confessing your sins one to another (Jas. 5:14-18): Each person in the group (prayer ministers and person being prayed for) is to focus on Jesus with the eyes of your heart. Fix your eyes on Jesus and ask Him if there is anything that is blocking His healing power from flowing to you. Receive His response back by tuning to spontaneous thoughts and pictures. Make sure you are living a healthy lifestyle, which includes a nutritious diet, regular exercise, fasting/cleansing and stress-free living. Confess your sins based on what you receive. Learn to confess your sins moment by moment so you stand clean before the Lord. This group stance of humility and holiness releases God’s power.

2. The foundation for healing is entering God’s presence: The Lord said to one Christian colleague of Dr. Virkler’s (Professor at the online Bible college, Christian Leadership University), "First you must practice My presence. Then we’ll talk. My presence is really more important than My words. The healing takes place while in My presence." Become Christ-conscious by worshipping Christ in your spirit. See Jesus transfigured in God’s light (Matt. 17:1-8). Ask for, see and release His healing power, which can be seen as light, and felt as heat and tingling. His power to heal is released through His presence.

3. Discover and deal with the root cause of the infirmity: Have the sick person, pray, "Holy Spirit, please show me the root cause of this sickness in my body." (His body, his memory and the Holy Spirit within him know exactly what the root of the sickness is.) Then instruct him to quiet himself and tune to the voice and vision of God (i.e., spontaneous thoughts and spontaneous pictures) and share with you what comes to him. Apply the appropriate prayer.

4. Assume three parts to healing prayer: (removing pain, casting out demons, restoring body parts)
Speak to the pain to be removed. It is easy, builds faith once the person being prayed for feels some pain leave, and removes this distraction from the person being prayed for.

Firmly command the specific afflicting demons to be loosed. Assume demons in most/all situations. Demons were frequently involved in the conditions Jesus healed, as is suggested by comparing the summary description in Mark 1:39 with the parallel summary statement of Matt. 4:23:

Mark 1:39 "So he traveled throughout Galilee, preaching in their synagogues and driving out demons."

Matt. 4:23 "Jesus went throughout Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the good news of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness among the people. "

Speak lovingly and specifically to the damaged body parts to be restored to their normal function.

5. Receive divine revelation: As you see Jesus and watch His healing power and light pour into a person, ask Him to show you exactly what needs to be healed and how He wants to heal it. Receive His answer by tuning to spontaneous thoughts and pictures, and act in obedience on what He is telling you. Engage the prayer-type that the Spirit leads you to--petition, command, or pronouncement.
