Healing is something we all long for. From the little baby that cries on his mother’s chest to the grandma gasping for her last breath, we all long to be made whole. Yet, what does it really mean to heal? Healing through faith is the only lasting healing—especially one that will make us more like God.
In this blog, we will look at 5 powerful practices we can employ in our lives to renew us and make us more like Christ. These strategies go beyond physical healing and bring us into the inner rooms of faithful restoration. By following them, you will not only become more like God, but you will also be able to help others do the same. So come with me, and let’s unpack them together.
1. Seeing Your Healing Beyong The Physical
2 Corinthians 4:16 (Ethiopian New Testament, translated from Amharic): “Though our outward body is wasting away, our inner person is renewed day by day.”
Seeing your healing beyond what is physically happening to you is the true and Godly form of healing. It begins with a healed mindset and an attitude surrendered to God.
True healing isn’t just what we can see with our eyes. While physical healing is often necessary, it is the healing of the spirit that matters most. By spiritual healing, I mean a renewed mind that reflects the heart of Christ. It’s an inner posture that believes in healing before it happens—and trusts God’s will no matter the outcome.
Take Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, for example. When they were thrown into the fire, they had already made up their minds. Whether God delivered them or not, they would not bow to King Nebuchadnezzar. That’s the kind of faith that flows from a healed spirit—one that doesn’t yield to pressure, but stays surrendered to the authority of God.
2. Cleansing Yourself Of Sin And Unrighteousness
“Cast away from you all the transgressions that you have committed, and make yourselves a new heart and a new spirit! Why will you die, O house of Israel?”
One of the most important measures in healing through faith is letting go of sin and unrighteousness. These not only weigh us down but also keep us far from God. The Bible says that sin is enmity with God, and so we must distance ourselves from it.
Unforgiveness is perhaps one of the deadliest sins. It not only poisons the spirit but can also destroy the physical body. Lust, grudges, and anger are also sins we must surrender if we want to step into true healing.
The good news is that as we trust God and apply this principle in our lives, we can rest assured that, regardless of the outcome, we will be transformed into the measure of the fullness of Christ. This is the place of divine healing—a place where, even if our physical bodies perish, our spirits are renewed, and we become the gods that we were created to be.
3. Helping Others Heal
“Bear one another’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.”
One of the greatest things you can do on your healing journey is to help someone else find theirs. Healing was never meant to be a selfish thing. The God who heals you also desires to use you as a vessel to pour healing into others. The moment you begin to share your testimony, pray for someone else, or simply offer a word of encouragement, you become an instrument in God’s hand.
The Bible says, “Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.” (Galatians 6:2). This reminds us that our healing becomes more powerful when it’s extended to others. Sometimes the very thing that brings healing to you is the act of helping someone else.
It might be through your words, your prayers, or your quiet presence beside a broken soul. Don’t wait until you feel completely whole before you begin to help. Sometimes, God heals us while we’re reaching out to others. So let your scars speak. Let your faith stretch. Let your hands serve. That’s the heart of Christ—and that’s the way healing multiplies.
4. Constant Prayer and Praise
Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.”
There is healing in a heart that refuses to stop praying. There is also power in the mouth that never stops praising God. Constant prayer and praise are more than religious acts. These potent practices are the rhythm of a life that stays connected to God. When your body feels weak, and your emotions are heavy, lift up a prayer. When your soul is crushed beneath the weight of trials, raise a song. Even if it’s broken, let it rise.
The enemy wants silence. But the healed spirit keeps speaking. It cries, it sings, it whispers thanks through every storm. Praise shifts the atmosphere, and prayer invites God into every detail of our pain. When we pray without ceasing, we place ourselves in the constant presence of the Healer. When we praise through the pressure, we declare that even in the fire, God is still good.
5. Accepting God's Word On Healing
To truly be healed, you must first accept what God has already said. His Word is not a suggestion—it is the truth. If God says you are healed, then believe it even when your body screams otherwise. Even when the pain lingers, and the tears still fall, trust that God’s Word has the final say.
Healing through faith starts with agreement. You cannot walk in what you don’t believe. Too many of us cancel our own healing by speaking words that contradict God’s promises. We say “maybe” when God says “surely.” We say “I’m sick,” when God says “by His stripes, you are healed.”
I’ve learned that it’s not about how you feel—it’s about what you choose to believe. When you choose to believe God, your healing begins. It may not come how or when you expect it, but it will come. That’s His promise. He is not a man that He should lie.
So, accept the Word. Speak it. Stand on it. Let it become your anchor when everything else feels shaky. The Word is healing in itself. When it enters your spirit, it begins the process of transformation. From sickness to strength. From sorrow to joy. From brokenness to wholeness. That’s the power of God’s Word.

Conclusion
Healing is not just about a change in the body—it’s about a renewing your soul. It’s also not a quick fix. It’s a process of faith, obedience, and surrender. If we truly want to walk in healing, we must be willing to see beyond what is physical. We must let go of sin, embrace constant prayer and praise, help others heal, and above all, accept God’s Word as final.
These five practices aren’t just spiritual disciplines—they are lifelines. They keep us grounded when life tries to shake us. They lead us into a place of peace, even when our bodies are weary and our minds are overwhelmed. Healing through faith will always require belief before sight, trust before outcome, and surrender before results.
So don’t give up. Even when the wounds feel fresh and the answers delayed, keep pressing in. God is not done with you. He is the Author of healing, the Finisher of your faith, and the One who still moves mountains. Your healing is not a fantasy—it’s a promise. Hold on to it with all your heart.
You are being made new. Day by day. Step by step. Faith to faith. Glory to glory.
Let that be your testimony. Let that be your healing. Amen.
