21 DAYS TO HEALING – Day 17: Healing Through the Power of the Holy Spirit

Day Seventeen: Healing Through the Power of the Holy Spirit

Scripture Reading: Romans 8:11 “But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.”

Devotional Thought:

The Holy Spirit is not just a comforter or a guide—He is the giver of life! Romans 8:11 declares that the same Spirit who raised Jesus from the dead is dwelling in you, and He brings life and healing to your mortal body. That means healing is not just something we hope for—it’s something that is already at work inside of us!

Many people think of the Holy Spirit only in terms of spiritual gifts or supernatural experiences, but He is also actively involved in our physical healing. When Jesus walked on earth, He healed by the power of the Holy Spirit:

• Jesus was anointed by the Holy Spirit to heal the sick and set captives free.
  • Acts 10:38 “How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him.”
• The Holy Spirit gives us spiritual gifts, including gifts of healing.
  • 1 Corinthians 12:9 “to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit,”
• The Holy Spirit quickens (revives) our mortal bodies with supernatural life.
  • Romans 8:11 “But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.”

If the Holy Spirit lives in you, then healing is already present within you. You don’t have to beg for it—you can receive it by faith! Today, invite the Holy Spirit to move in your body, bringing life, restoration, and healing!

Testimony:

A man named Joshua had been battling severe lung disease for years. Doctors told him that his condition was irreversible and that he would eventually need a transplant. He was constantly out of breath and could barely walk across a room.

One evening, he was reading Romans 8:11 and something clicked in his spirit—the same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead was inside of him! He realized that if the Holy Spirit could raise a dead body to life, He could certainly heal his lungs.

That night, Joshua laid hands on his chest and prayed in faith, asking the Holy Spirit to bring healing and new life to his body. As he prayed, he suddenly felt heat in his chest and a surge of strength. He took a deep breath—the first full breath he had taken in years!

Over the next few weeks, Joshua continued praying, declaring Romans 8:11 over himself, and praising God for his healing. When he returned to the doctor, the scans showed no trace of disease. The doctors were stunned, but Joshua knew—it was the power of the Holy Spirit working life in him!

Now, Joshua prays for others with respiratory issues, believing that the same Spirit who healed him is working in them as well!

Powerful Life-Changing Prayer:

Holy Spirit, I thank You that You live inside of me and that You bring life and healing to my body. Your Word says that the same power that raised Jesus from the dead is dwelling in me—so today, I receive that healing power in full measure.

I ask You to quicken my mortal body. Every organ, every cell, every system in my body must come into alignment with the resurrection power of Jesus Christ! I declare that sickness, pain, and disease have no authority in me because Your Spirit is greater!

Holy Spirit, fill me afresh today. Let Your healing anointing flow through my body, driving out every trace of sickness. I surrender every symptom, every weakness, and every fear into Your hands. Thank You for healing me, restoring me, and strengthening me! I receive it now, in Jesus’ name, Amen!

Action Step:

Spend 5-10 minutes today praying in the Spirit and asking the Holy Spirit to fill every part of your body with His healing power. Declare Romans 8:11 over yourself and believe that His life-giving presence is working in you!
