Prayer for Healing

(a) Everybody should be invited to go on their knees and confess their sins and renounce them. This should particularly include any involvement with unforgiveness, anger, hatred, bitterness, resentment, the occult, present or past adultery or abortion.
(b) They should then all be invited to stand and say the following prayer together out loud:

"Heavenly Father, I come to You in the name of Jesus Christ.
I come in true repentance and I now repent in particular from all past bitterness, anger, unforgiveness, resentment, hatred.
I especially renounce any involvement in the occult.
I honour my mother and father, and I forgive them and I renounce their sins and the sins of my ancestors.
I ask You, Holy Spirit, to come now in power and touch me for complete healing within and without."

(c) As soon as this prayer is uttered, the counsellor should begin to lay hands on the various people. If there are enough counsellors, it would be good if two could lay on hands together, but otherwise one will do.
(d) As with most counselling, each person should be counselled by a person of the same sex where possible or by two counsellors who are working together as a team.
