"A Faith That Can Heal Illnesses" with Pastor Rick Warren

As followers of Jesus, we don’t only care about people’s spiritual needs - we care about their physical needs, as well. In fact, a major element of Jesus’ ministry on Earth was physical healing. In this message, Pastor Rick Warren continues our study through the Book of James by explaining three mistaken views about physical healing and by describing how to pray for healing for yourself and others.

My prayer request and best for full restoration of healing physically, mentally and emotionally and also spiritually in Jesus mighty name amen

[@cheeverdog]

If your reading this know im writing this from a hospital bed in Temecula. I was diagnosed today with a massive tumor in my side and abdomen. Im having surgery Friday to try and remove it but it looks dark at best. Pray for my healing and pray for my strength and my witness. If my race is almost finished I do not want to stumble in the end. Hold me up saints. God Bless. Update.... The tumor was removed March 4th. The margins were clear praise God. Now they think some may have spread to my liver. Praying the next MRI shows something different and God has healed me completely.

[@aaronmichellejackson6339]

MERCIFUL LORD....I Decree & Declare COMPLETE HEALING upon Ur CHILD...We can Run to u Jesus...Any Time, Anywhere, For Any Thing 🙏

[@jessicaschuster1720]

Are there any updates? I pray you are well and have been healed completely in Jesus' mighty name!

[@ianmcclavin]

In March this year (2022) I felt dizzy and faint on a train, and my speech had gone slurred, arriving at St Pancras Station in London. I managed to get off the train, phoned for an ambulance, and got rushed to hospital, which was only a short drive from the station, and was one of the leading hospitals for dealing with this sort of thing in the UK. It turned out that I'd had a stroke, and had a large blood clot in the main artery to the brain, and operation was urgent. I could barely sign the consent form, all I could manage was a squiggle. When I came round from the operation, which had been performed under general anesthetic, all traces of the stroke had GONE, and I was restored to the pre-stroke condition. Praise God!!

[@Kee_Is_Blessed143]

[@owlnyc666]

[@BruceArcher1]

I am praying for you right now. God is good.Don't give up!

[@joshuadavidbeatz]

Sometimes my PTSD gets so bad that My Prayer Is Simply Reaching Up And Saying JESUS! He already knows and sometimes that's All that needs to be said! Amen?

[@hitoeveryone100]

Suffering for the Gospel of Jesus Christ is good, but suffering for sickness is not.

[@mwr1ghtt]

I am in tears!!!! Glory be to God!!!! This video has been revealed to me by the Holy Spirit!!!!! This has answered me. My sickness has definetly redirected me to God and I am soooooo Soooo thankful for his Will!!!' He is amazing!!! Glory be to my Father!!!! I love u Jesus!!!!!

[@IdeasForSuccess]

James 5:15 And the prayer offered in faith WILL make the sick person well; Some prayers are just talking to God, but the kinds of prayers the followers of Jesus prayed for healing were not just talking to God. They gave a command that sickness leave the body of the person they were talking to. Acts 3:6 “In the name of Jesus, get up and walk!” Acts 14:10, Paul told a lame man “Stand up on your feet!” Notice Peter spoke out a command in Acts 9:40 “Peter sent them all out of the room; then he got down on his knees and prayed. Turning toward the dead woman, he said, “Tabitha, get up.” She opened her eyes, and seeing Peter she sat up.”

[@stephanieCl]

Amen, I'm in agreement we have receid authority by thye Holly Spirit in the name of Jesus, sadly we still have christians begging in their prayers : Oh God please heal them to feel better etc...humbly this is not to talk down we need to wake up and be true Christian soldier/follower ! Do you want to be healed?, was a common question, also authority to command and Faith

[@somikazinjila1090]

Hallelujah🙌 please remember me in your prayers. I have a challenge

[@ianmcclavin]

Two months on after my stroke and miraculous recovery, I am back driving the car, and back at work. I was not allowed to do either for a month after discharge from the hospital. I also have an atrial fibrillation (irregular pulse/heartbeat), which I'm told was a contributory factor to the stroke happening,, which is now being controlled with blood thinning medication. I am praying now for God to have me lose further weight, this is being done through exercise, the job I'm doing is helping there, in order to have an operation for this to be reversed, I know that He can do this (He's healed me once already!!), and fully trust Him for my future!

[@saneyvorster7830]

AMEN JESUS 🙏 I needed this. Woke up extremely sick and feeling hopeless. My first thought was move closer to God and I came here to listen to a sermon 🙌

[@deeptreatz]

my body knows how to heal itself and is doing so RIGHT NOW!!! I AM HEALED Anyone out there healing: Your body needs you right now, the best of you. Eat well, move as much as your body and spirit will allow (with or without music), listen to healing binaural beats 432 hz & 528hz, anointing oil, whatever you need to keep you in alignment with a healing spirit. Only speak words of health, well being and positivity. If you can't right now then be quiet. when you have moments where you need to vent and throw a fit (we ALL do), do so to GOD. Tell your Creator and leave it at his feet. God needs you in agreement to fully activate and deliver on his promises. I love you!!!

Heavenly Father I thank you in advance for my ANWERED PRAYERS in JESUS name You HEALED me of DIABETES, KIDNEY, LIVER , PROSTATE and LUNG disease

[@angelasummerfelt9203]

This pandemic has led me to you Mr. Rick Warren. It has led me back to my purpose in life. I have sent your sermons to everyone I know that has fallen off the path of righteousness over the years and those i know need God's word and YOU Mr.Rick Warren have made a tremendous impact on each and every single one of the lost sheep with your sermons when all hope was lost in most. So for that i say thank you for doing Gods will, the way that you do it and, for being you exactly the way you are. One day you will learn the magnitude of how important this is. We have so much love for you. Now is the time for anyone seeking God to do so. Those that are will find the truth and contentment of knowing soon all that God has promised will come to be. Xo

[@wendythomas4930]

Thank you for praying over me for physical healing. 😊

[@reneeroberts8535]

Mr Warren is saying it's God's will for us to be sick. That is not true God said it's my will that you prosper and be in good health.

[@Storyofasthrydwidiyanti]

Thank you Pastur,. It helps me. I have spent my two years to read and re-read 40 days , true driven life. My longing to having relationship with Jesus. I want to Know Jesus, more and more

[@EileenVanessaRodriguezsoprano]

I will pray for you John. May God strengthen you through His Word and Holy Spirit! Submit to the Lord and He will make your paths straight!

[@mariahconklin4150]

Hi how are you? I recently gave up weed due to an illness. It was just putting a band aid on the problem for me. I turned to God instead which has helped. How are you doing today? I promise you it will get better! If you’re going through the nausea it will get better! Stay healthy as possible mind, body, and spirit

[@markrobinson5430]

As always Pastor Rick hit the nail on the head with another great sermon.

[@joshuadavidbeatz]

PSALM 119:71 📖 MY SUFFERING WAS GOOD FOR ME CAUSE IT TAUGHT ME TO PAY ATTENTION TO GOD'S LAW! AMEN!!!!

[@Omar-rb9jb]

Please heavenly Father heal my sciatic pain. I am tired and weary of this continuous pain. You who knew me in my mother's womb. Who created and formed me know exactly what needs to be healed. Please, please... in Jesus name. May you be glorified through this.

[@BruceArcher1]

Thank you, Pastor Rick! I'm sick in bed today, feeling very weak and a bit discouraged. Your message helped me to get back to the most important things, and to pray for healing for myself.

[@joshuadavidbeatz]

When I was 19 in 2006 I was shot 5 times. Twice in left thigh with a .38 and my right lung, right collarbone and directly mid center of my throat with a .45 and lived. 2 months later I felt the bullet in my throat move and went to UCLA medical center. They gave me an ultimatum. I'd either die from internal bleeding undergoing surgery or be paralyzed from the neck down when I woke up. My Dad said remember son we do not wrestle with flesh and blood. He placed his hands on both sides of my neck and prayed in The Mighty Name Of Jesus I Pray That This Bullet Comes Out The Easiest Way Possible But Lord Let Your Will Be Done. We Said Amen and I Coughed the bullet up! And saw it was a hollow point that didn't explode on impact. They still had to put me under to sow up my esophagus and thy woke me right back up and said there Is no sign that a bullet was ever inside of your throat other than this scar we're about to give you when we take this tracheotomy out and stich your throat up. Hallelujah The Lord Still Works Miracles Like He Always Has!!!

[@vgg19539]

Thank u Lord for your healing🙏 I believe Your healing powers is working on my body right now😇♥️ Thank u pastor Rick😘 stay safe

[@karenwilliams3781]

30:38 Hi Pastor Rick, I love your preaching and you have a beautiful method of reaching people by the messages so thoughtfully prepared. There are oils of plants that do heal. I'm not a chemist, and I have created a recipe that relieves pain and inflammation using essential oils for my arthritis purely by accident. I believe that God directed me in this instance. I am a believer of many years in Christ. I am starting to see the power of God more each day, so thank you for enlightening me with this sermon.

[@williammurgida7521]

So what are they?

[@Thalanir7]

This acts as proof that God is beyond time as someone will watch this in the years to come and be healed. Thanks Pastor Rick for sharing this message today from God.

[@87106utube]

Pastor Rick has been a favorite of mine and one day I hope to visit his church. One thing I am not I agree with him is when he said Jesus had sicknesses while he was on earth. This is a big statement.

[@tylergingras5592]

Please pray for my chronic pain and health issues. I’m going through so much right now. It’s causing so much depression & anxiety.

[@cathyreddy6297]

God is blessed rejoice! His love extends to love. Stand trust endievers. When I go to work for an establishment, so many workplaces have I had and until now, did I realize that as a Christian, they will test the spirit! I have been unaware of this until now! Thank God I have accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Saviour! I shall not waiver and must not be alarmed when it seems people are trying, rude or cruel. Cruelly funny or trying to redefine me though I am in the spirit. The holy spirit! May I not waiver from his holy immaculate grace and live in purity, sanctimony and peace! In Jesus name, amen. More than likely this happens in a church, at school or generally in trust! In Jesus name I pray, amen.

[@shoraimatyatya3040]

Amen amen thank you for the beautiful sermon 🙏🙏🙏 Praise God allelujah

[@verwachteenwondernl]

Jesus healed all those who came to Him....He did not leave them saying "please stay sick because this is God's will, you have to learn from this suffering" or send them to hospitals. The mission of Jesus was to break the works of the devil. Sickness is not the will of God. But sickness is also not always related to sin. God gave his body, the believers, the authority to heal. If this not happens (yet) we should not change Gods promises and words, also not when we are attacked and accused. God's word is trues, more than the circumstances or our feelings. Suffering for God's wil is still believing God, despite of these attack. Jesus had no sickness. Please don't redefine your doctrine if something not yet happens. Asking God to heal is ask Him what He already answered. Take authority over sickness in His Name and give Him the Glory of healing.

[@deeptreatz]

thank you for the word Pastor Warren

[@dubyag4124]

the rendering that makes the most sense is "spiritual weakness" - it is probably more about spiritual healing than physical. Which is consistent with Christ's ministry who always saw spiritual healing as far more important than physical. God bless you all.

[@shirleymarie98]

Thank y’all so much for this insight🤍

[@Keptbygrace]

Staying out if sin can heal sicknesses but honestly it takes faith - who can repent without faith? who can seek Jesus in prayers or fast without wanting to have faith? true

Thank you Pastor Rick for this message! It really helped me tonight. I was also able to share your message with a friend who really needed this tonight, so thank you! And thank you Jesus for leading me to this message! 💕❤️

[@junejykim]

Amen!

[@IdeasForSuccess]

1 Peter 4:19 does NOT say we will be sick. It says we will suffer. Two different things. Thorn in flesh: The word "thorn" was almost always used in the Old Testament to mean ungodly people who trouble godly people. Paul was a Pharisee, so we know he memorized much of the Old testament. He would use that phrase the way it was used in the Old Testament. I don't think it was a sickness.

[@kilnerpaps8635]

I simply look at Jesus how compassionate he was towards healing and i know God has the same compasion to heal,Praise God!.
