We are joining our hearts together to intercede for Howard, who is currently in the hospital. While the circumstances may seem dire, we trust in the power of our Lord Jesus Christ to heal and restore. As it is written in the World English Bible, "Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the assembly, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord, and the prayer of faith will heal him who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up." (James 5:14-15 WEB)
We come before You, Jehovah Rapha, the Lord who heals, and we plead the blood of Jesus over Howard's life. In the mighty name of Jesus, we command healing and restoration to flow into Howard's body. We stand in agreement with Your promises, Lord, that "by his stripes, we are healed." (Isaiah 53:5 WEB)
We also take this opportunity to remind everyone that it is only through the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to the Father. As the Scriptures tell us, "There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!" (Acts 4:12 WEB)
In this time of need, let us not only pray for Howard's physical healing but also for his spiritual well-being, that he may know the peace of God which surpasses all understanding. May Howard be surrounded by the love and comfort of the Holy Spirit, and may Your will be done in his life, Lord.
Finally, we pray for all those interceding for Howard, that God would bless and strengthen them according to His riches in glory. May we all be encouraged by the words of Jesus, "Again, I tell you, that if two of you will agree on earth concerning anything that they will ask, it will be done for them by my Father who is in heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there I am in the middle of them." (Matthew 18:19-20 WEB)
In Jesus' mighty name, we pray. Amen.
