Last year I was seeking God on how to pray for colds and flu that so many of us accept as just a normal part of life, especially in the winter. I realised that, as Christians we have a passive acceptance of colds and flu and very rarely see healing in this area. Yet winter flu can significantly impact our lives causing disruption, sending us to bed for multiple days and costing money in medication and Dr’s visits.
As I prayed Jesus gave me a visual picture of how these bugs are transferred and how the enemy works to get a foothold through sickness.
I saw snakes, in the spirit realm, wrapping themselves around airborne bugs and gaining legal right to cause sickness through our sinful agreement with the sickness. The sickness enters us, attaches because of our agreement then passes to the next person. The sickness gains strength as it passes from person to person and all our sinful agreements are combined.
Firstly, these illnesses are “airborne” and are transferred from person to person through the atmosphere.
Secondly, we make an ungodly and sinful agreement with sickness when we repeat and agree with the common beliefs about getting sick; “well after all it’s going around”, “I am feeling a bit tired and run down at the moment”, “I was around people who were sick”, “It’s my turn”, “That’s what happens when we travel” etc.
So we need to: ask forgiveness for our sinful agreement with the sickness.
And 2 Timothy 2 20-21 talks about breaking ungodly contact with the things of the world
SO, Next Pray:
Father God, in Jesus name, I break all ungodly spirit soul and body ties with:
the people I have been around (be as specific with names as you can),
the places I have been (be specific)
the sickness and your sinful agreement with it
any food or drinks I have consumed and the people (cafes etc) who have prepared them
I ask you Jesus to remove all ungodly entanglements with these things now by your blood! Amen.
It is important to ask the Holy Spirit to highlight any other things you may need to add into this soul tie prayer. I try to use this prayer regularly and especially if I have been around people or places where there is sickness. Jesus has taken every disease and sickness on His body so it’s important to align yourself with the truth. When we have broken our sinful agreement with the sickness it’s important to replace it with a confession of the truth from the Word of God. For example: “I confess that by the stripes of Jesus I have been healed” or “I agree with the word of God that says: No evil shall befall me or any diseases come near my home”.
This soul tie prayer can be used daily to help us walk in greater levels of health and wholeness. The enemy will try to use any point of contact with sinful worldly things to access our lives and cause us not to walk in the abundant life that Jesus desires for us.
I pray this helps you stay healthy.
