31 August 2021- Message from Richard:
I was reflecting on the fact that thousands of people have received healing simply by blessing their body or body-part in the name of Jesus.
Why does it work? How does it work?
​
Some healings come by blessing and people releasing the ones who have hurt them (this is a significant extra step over and above merely forgiving them). Other healings by receiving a parent’s blessing (especially the father’s blessing). The resultant healing of the wounds of the heart can often lead to physical healing; sickness on the inside often manifests on the outside.

What about straight out physical healing. 
I think I can identify a number of elements:
• Thankfulness for our bodies, declaring that they are wonderfully and fearfully made. Expressed verbally, out loud. We need to listen to what we say; faith comes from hearing. Love starts to come too.
• Repent for complaining about our health problems, if that is the case.     Complaining locks the condition in, whereas thanksgiving attracts God’s power.
• Let His love flow through you. Love is the carrier wave of God’s power. Remember that the same power that raised Jesus from the dead is within you if you are a Spirit-filled Christian.
• Bless the body part, in the name of Jesus, in love and the quiet assurance of your authority to do so. Speaking blessing in love and faith activates the power of God.
• Speak and release healing, strength, restoration, normal function
• Thank God.
The results might be immediate, overnight, or may take days, weeks or even months, but keep blessing until the healing comes. 

There is still mystery around healing. I’m not pretending to have all the answers. But the above summarises what I have learned so far regarding the power of blessing. I hope it helps someone.
