A Handy “power tool” to pull out at a moment’s notice when there is a “hint of its need.
But those who wait on the LORD Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint. (Isaiah 40:31 NKJ)

Your No. 1 "Tool" for Healing
Other scriptures :
Jeremiah 31:31-
He continued to minister to me...and He will do it for you also!
Ask the Lord to reveal to you what YOUR “time with Him” looks like. He knows your schedule, your cares and all that you have to juggle in a day. He also knows the way to reach YOUR heart so it may be a different book or prayer or even a word from His Word that He impresses upon your heart but ask Him to design what this time looks like. Remember that it IS a sacrifice...but the blessings will far outweigh whatever you give up. Get good worship music, get a clean journal and write down your prayer requests, your adoration words...and what you hear FROM HIM!
Run after Him,
RUN HARD,
Listen,
and wait...
wait until you receive “The Blessing”.
And may He drench you with His glory!
In His grace and mercy,
“...bind up that which is broken and strengthen the weak” (WEB version) says to me that He will heal the sick, strengthen us when we are weak, encouraging us and pouring out His strength. The American Standard version switches the words a little: “I will seek that which was lost, and will bring back that which was driven away, and will bind up that which was broken, and will strengthen that which was sick...” Which I STILL take to mean that binding up the “broken” is also speaking about our HEARTS, as this verse suggests that the sick are the ‘weak’ ones.

“And ye have an anointing from the Holy One, and ye know all the things.” (1 John 2:20)
A short testimony
(ok, maybe not so short but it's good!)
On Valentines day, 2008, upon rising that morning, the Lord told me to get up and collect a journal that I had tucked at the bottom of a bookcase and forgotten about.. He impressed upon me that I was to take it to a chair that I never sat in, in the far corner of my living room, and “journal my prayers”.
My feet didn't even hit the floor before I started whining: “LORD! You KNOW that I never stick to anything like that whenever I try it! I mean, how many TIMES in the past have I tried to journal Do you even REMEMBER HIGH SCHOOL?!” I even reminded him of all my failed attempts during my adolescence when it was cool to have this small, cute little book with the tiny key that opened it the lock, keeping it's contents private from the rest of the world.
Well, I followed through with His directive, complaining and grumbling all the way down the stairs, barely awake up enough to realize what I was doing, still sleepy when I reached down and tugged on the buried book. “God Calling” was a calendar devotional that I put away upon receiving as a birthday present because my sole desire was to hear only the Lord’s word, and the idea of “flowery verse” seemed so trivial and didn’t interest me in the stage which I at. So in taking this book too the comfy chair which I felt He directed me to, I plopped down (still with irritated attitude and barely awake), I looked up and said, “OK lord, how about if I go to the exact DAY that is listed for today and read that message first?” rebelling against what I believed to be silly and legalistic at best.
Oh THANK you Lord, for your grace and patience with me!
(Isn’t it nice that he doesn’t smite us as the thousands in the desert who were swallowed up in the ground after complaining about having to wait longer to comet into the land of milk?!) I opened that devotional and I started to read the selected devotion assigned for February 14th (Valentines day! I KNOW! Funny, huh?) and read:
“You do not realize that you would have broken down under the weight of your cares but for the renewing time with Me. It is not what I say; it is I, Myself. It is not the hearing Me so much as the being in My Presence. The strengthening and curative powers of this you cannot know. Such knowledge is beyond your human reckoning.”....
I stopped suddenly and looked around, for I felt that I was not alone and I also felt totally EXPOSED, my heart laid bare as if held hostage. I continued on:
“This would cure the poor sick world, if every day, each soul, or group of souls, waited before Me. Remember, that you must never fail to keep this time apart with Me. Gradually you will be transformed, physically, mentally, spiritually, into My likeness. All who see you, or contact with you will be, by this intercourse with you, brought near to Me, and gradually the influence will spread.”
“You are making one spot of earth a Holy Place, and though you must work and spend yourself ceaselessly because that is for the present your appointed task, yet the greatest work either of you can do, and are doing, is done in this time apart with Me. Are you understanding that?”
“Do you know that every thought, every activity, every prayer, every longing
of the day is gathered up and offered to Me, now? Oh! Joy that I am with you. For
this I came to earth, to lead man back to spirit-
I sat there for a long moment in silence, almost unable to move, still feeling as if I were not alone, and in truth, I wasn't. The Lord knew exactly what I needed to hear: He knew my heart cry for “more” and even showed me how to GET “more”. “God Calling” is the book that I started my devotions with and is the daily writings of two anonymous women in the 40's who call themselves, “The Listeners”. They lived in England and were sick and impoverished, and came together in prayer daily, writing down ONLY what they heard the Lord saying to them. You can find editions still out there with or without journal space to write your OWN writings, or you can find them online here; http://www.twolisteners.org/God%20Calling%20TOC.htm
To make a long story short, I set up my own “praise time” with prophetic praise music (music written spontaneously “in the spirit” as people worshiped the Lord), coming “into agreement” with the worshipers, as the Lord showed me that this also releases an anointing.
Again, assuredly 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. (Matthew 18:19)
I wrote down my prayers...and about 3 weeks later, I started to write and found myself writing words from THE LORD HIMSELF! I listened and wrote what I believed I heard. (I share some of these on “Letters from Daddy”)
“Oh Lord, could you BE that good!”
A month after that, as I continued in this time with the Lord each morning,
I started to doze off during worship time (well, I WAS pretty groggy as I came to
this activity upon rising and before doing anything else), only to wake up suddenly
from a dream I had, feeling guilty about “sleeping on the job”, with the Lord's words
in my head responding to what I had just seen -
About a month after that, I started going to God's word BEFORE I did my writings and other readings, and even MORE blessings occurred. I started out in worship, listening to worship music and coming into agreement with the worshippers, loosing myself in full adoration until I felt at peace, until I felt I was in the Lord's presence.
I would then pick up my Bible, hold it to my chest and ask “Where Lord?”...and then I would wait, listening, just as I listened for a small voice when I did my writings. And then I heard it, that whisper that said a word, a chapter, and then I waited and then heard the number to look up. The Lord ALWAYS ministers to me. It was amazing and I KNOW that you cannot just open His word to any place and MAKE it work to your circumstances, so this “coincidence” I KNEW was of the Lord. It’s HIS DESIRE to encourage us and minister to us.
HE will minister to you!
I remembered in Ezekiel 34 where the Lord says “WOE to the Shepherds” because they “did not bring back the lost, bind up the broken hearted and heal the sick”. This was a HUGE revelation to me that we are SUPPOSED to heal the sick, being ABLE to heal the sick. I was stuck on this concept for over a year as I so desperately wanted to learn more about our true role in the church, that our life on this earth is not our own and not for our own purposes, that we are ALL disciples if we call Christ our savior, we are ALL supposed to be ministers of a sort.
When no one else is there, HE will minister to you!
Ok, that’s a whole other topic for discussion but I brought it up because I was reminded of that while in prayer one morning and then the Lord said to me “what about the REST of that...?” and so I went back to Ezekiel 34 and looked up the REST of that chapter and this is what He said:
I will seek the lost, and I will bring back the strayed, and I will bind up the injured, and I will strengthen the weak, and the fat and the strong I will destroy. I will feed them in justice. (Ezekiel 34:16)
