The thought that we should not pray for healing is open to discussion, but I hope that you understand and agree with the gist of what E.W. Kenyon is saying, which is the core of Word of Faith theology. I have put off posting this quote because it is so long.
The Believer is enriched with every blessing. The difficulty is that we haven't known it. The major part of our praying is for things that we already possess.
It may startle you if I tell you that you need not pray for your healing, but sick folks spend most of their time praying for their healing. Why should we not pray for it?
Because Isaiah 53:4-5 tells us that we already have the healing, "Surely he hath borne my sicknesses and carried my diseases: yet I did esteem Him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. He was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities, the chastisement of our peace was upon him, and with his stripes we are healed."
And in the tenth verse we read, "Yet it pleased Jehovah to bruise him; he hath made him sick with our sickness and with our diseases."
If He bore our diseases and put them away, God declares that "by his stripes we are healed." Then, what should we do? We should not pray for our healing because He would answer us, "I have already healed you. I have laid your sickness on My Son. Don't you appreciate what I have done for you?"
You can understand that He actually laid that disease on His own Son, and that that Son put that disease away. Now He bids us to look up and thank Him for it.
