Is anyone among you sick? Let them call the elders of the church to pray over them and anoint them with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise them up. — James 5:14–15 Updated NIV
What we are doing in healing prayer is bringing the body into a place where the power of God can flow into the affliction — especially into the places of affliction. We are also presenting ourselves to be used of God as channels of that healing power.

Step Four: Watch for the Cloud Rising from the Sea.
It is helpful to have the person you are praying for share with you any changes she is feeling in her body as you pray. This includes positive changes: “Wow — when you guys started worshipping over me, I felt a warmth through my body.” In that case, worship more (or whatever produced the change)! But also report any negative changes, “My headache just got worse,” because that is immediate data that you are dealing with some sort of stronghold and it will guide your prayers in step five.
