STEPS TO RECEIVING AND MINISTERING WHOLENESS

 
“Therefore, confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be
healed” (James 5: 16a)
 
IMPORTANCE: There are four points I want to emphasize as to the importance of this spiritual
exercise:
 
A. When we do this process, we put a right price tag to sin. Every sin as an offense to God no
matter how small they are.
B. We acknowledge our responsibility to tell God we are sorry for the sin we have done.
C. Owning up our sins is an important part of the whole process to healing. In the scriptures,
the confession of our sin is not only imperative but also carries with it redemptive implication.
 
When we go through this process, we provide ourselves with a concrete POINT OF
REFERENCE that we can use against Satan’s accusations. Every time Satan would accuse us of
the sins we already have dealt with, we can always take this event as a point of reference.
 
RECEIVING WHOLENESS
1. ACKNOWLEDGE THAT EVERY SIN IS AN OFFENSE TO GOD.
2. CONFESS YOUR SINS
3. CLAIM GOD’S FORGIVENESS
 
Partner 1—Prayer 1: Heavenly father I have sinned against you. I have done what is evil in
your sight. I now confess my sin of (mention the sins you mentioned in your Ministry Time
Guide) and I claim your forgiveness through the blood of Jesus that was shed on the cross,
over these sins in Jesus name, Amen.
 
 MINISTERING WHOLENESS
1. ASSURE YOUR PARTNER OF GOD’S PROMISES.
2. AFFIRM GOD’S FORGIVENESS
3. DECLARE CONTINUES VICTORY OVER THOSE SINS
 
Partner 2— PRAYER 2:
(Mention the name of your partner) God promised in His word that as you confessed
and own up to your sins, God’s forgiveness has been given to you. You are now forgiven and
these sins (mention the sins listed in the ministry guide of your partner) will no longer be
counted against you anymore. You have been set free and these sins and empowered to live
victoriously for the glory of God.

(Reverse the process with partner 2 starting with prayer 1 and partner 1 praying prayer 2)
