Hearing God's Voice for Healing
2-Minute Video Overview
Explore the many methods Jesus used to heal. Recognize the significance of the fact that more than half the time, the word used for these healings was the Greek word for "therapeutic," which means "cure". Become aware of 28 therapeutic cures which are either mentioned in the Bible or, if not specifically mentioned, are compatible with biblical principles.
Discover the root cause
Learn to ask God what the root cause is of the infirmity, sickness, or disease you are facing, and then, what step He wants you to take to remove this root cause so you can heal. Since about 90% of all illness has an emotional root, ask the Lord, "What did I experience just before this illness struck?" Then pray through the issue(s)/events which He reveals to you. Realize that sickness and disease can be caused by many different factors, and that the path to healing involves many possible cures. Learn to pursue each method of healing as led by the Lord until full restoration is yours.
Expect deliverance to be a part of the healing process
You will discover that more than 25% of the times Jesus prayed for healing, He also cast demons out as part of the healing process. You will learn to do the same. You will explore the centrality of forgiveness in healing. For example, we had prayed three times for healing for pain in a lady's back and shoulders. She informed us that it was better but "I still have a pain in my neck." We asked if someone was "a pain in her neck," and she broke down in tears. She was willing to be led in a prayer of forgiveness, release and blessing as she pictured this individual in her mind. We prayed once more and all pain was gone! "Forgive everything against everyone so that your prayers are not hindered."

Supplements found in the second half of this book – In-Depth Exploration of Eight Greek Words Describing Healing
- Sozo – salvation - opens the door for all of the other healing processes to flow.
- Exousia – authority - Jesus has given us the authority to heal the sick and cast out demons.
- Dunamis – power - the word occasionally translated as a miracle, which is an instantaneous mighty work of God. A miracle becomes a sign to the observers [semeion - a sign (G4592)].
- Iaomai – healing - often instantaneous healing, but sometimes healing over time.
- Therapeuo – healing - therapeutic healing can often be a process, but is sometimes instantaneous. Verses with therapeuo in them specifically mention the following: laying on of hands, anointing with oil, and leaves which bring healing. We get the word “therapeutic” from this word, so it involves various remedies, which we can easily classify under the category of “gifts of healings.” In other places in the Bible, we find recommended many additional cures and remedies.
- Energeo – active energy - the flow of active energy, which is the anointing of the Spirit.
- Hugies – make well - describes the result of the healing process.
- Ekballon pneumati akatharto - casting out an unclean spirit – brings instantaneous change and often occurs alongside any of the above healings, as the damage done by the evil spirit needs to be healed once the demon is cast out.
Testimonies
"Mark Virkler has written yet another book that I consider a must read. Not only must read, but must study repeatedly at a heart level. When asked, I was happy to endorse his new book. What I didn’t realize was that I too really need to review and go through this material carefully.
Mark takes us on a deep dive into understanding not only the various ways to appropriate physical healing, but even more importantly, it is also a study on maintaining spiritual and emotional health and well-being. Carol and I plan on using this tool for daily devotions to draw our hearts even closer to the heart of God. Read it and allow the Lord to heal you physically, emotionally, and spiritually."

"Mark Virkler wrote a book that I wish I had been able to use when I had a chronic illness years ago. There are too few voices in the body of Christ teaching or going after the miraculous healing power of God. Worse yet, many of the ones who do end up not having great theology to accompany the gift they are trying to demonstrate. In comes Mark’s Hearing God’s Voice for Healing which will act like a field guide to go after instantaneous miracles but also to have the longevity to keep pursuing healing even when you don’t see the signs of it when you first pray. Even if you have gone after healing gifts before this is a book for you! And it’s right on time!"

Four days after leaving the hospital from my heart bypass surgery, I met for the first time with a nurse practitioner at the office of my “functional medicine” MD, Dr. Jose Fernandez who was recommended to me by my chiropractor. She told us to purchase a $30 blood pressure monitor and check my blood pressure morning and evening. I did. You can also purchase one from Amazon.
I saw it steadily going down, which concerned me. So I called the hospital where the surgery was performed and talked to the head nurse on the floor I was on. She informed me the first of the two numbers given in a blood pressure test is the number to be concerned about and it should not go below 90 (I was still at 92.) The first number (systolic) is your blood pressure when the heart beats and pressure is exerted in the arteries, and the second number (diastolic) is blood pressure between each heartbeat when the heart is at rest and not pumping blood into the arteries.
Satan is a thief who comes to steal, kill and destroy (John 10:10). Facing surgery next Monday for the diagnosis of bladder cancer…much fear, doubt, pictures of my death, the laughter of others who have spoken evil things about me flash through my mind. I recognize them all from satan, the accuser, liar and thief. I renounce and rebuke demons of self pity, fear, doubt and unbelief.
My first choice is always prayer and nutrition. I believe that if you give your body the right tools to work with, it has been designed by God to heal itself. The right tools include great nutrition. I also believe that, in a crisis situation, pharmaceuticals can be a good stopgap measure.
