A Word from Sid

I have learned that healing and faith are mysteries for most Believers. Although there are many books on both subjects, they still remain perplexing. This should not be!

Faith—The Key to Experiencing Heaven’s Reward

Hebrews 11:6 tells us, But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

Without faith, we cannot please God! For us to receive anything in the Kingdom, from salvation onward, we need faith. If you believe in Jesus, the Messiah, you have faith. The question is how are you using it?


The Healing Scriptures8

Faith is not mental assent. It is an action based on the fact that “It is finished” at the cross. Bible faith believes the healing is there before you see it.

God is a rewarder of those who diligently seek him. He wants to reward His people with healing! The Messiah paid a high price so that you could walk in divine health and wholeness. The key to experiencing the power of Heaven in your life is learning how to put your faith to work!

Healing—The Will of God Revealed Through the Messiah

We read in Acts 10:38 about how “God anoint-ed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing


A Word from Sid 9

all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him.”

If Jesus went around doing good and healing all, this shows us that healing is God’s will.

Everything that Jesus did shows us Who God is, what He is like, and what His will is. Healing is God’s will for your life!

My Discovery—The Bible’s Supernatural Blueprint

Jesus revealed normal. Even though healing and faith have become mysterious to many Believ-ers—perhaps because of misunderstanding, mis-use, controversy, etc.—healing is normal, normal as defined by the Bible. This book is designed to help you experience Heaven’s normal in your life, for your friends and family, and even, to see God’s healing power released through you to touch others.

I started my own research into the subjects of healing and faith over 40 years ago. Where did I begin? Studying the Scriptures. It didn’t take long before I was overwhelmed by the fact that it is God’s will to heal sickness and disease.

• First, I listed all the faith and healing Scrip-tures that I could find.



• I followed by personalizing the verses that were left.

• Finally, I started meditating on them.

This discovery helped me create a Bible-based blueprint that will help you practically experience the supernatural healing power of God in your life.

I recently spoke to an orthodox Jewish woman who became a believer in Jesus through one of my Jewish evangelistic books, They Thought for Themselves. Her only teaching was our television show, It’s Supernatural! She was shocked when I told her some Christians believe healing stopped when the Apostles died.

Miracles have not stopped. God still heals today.

Your Transformation Starts Now

This book contains my personal list of healing Scriptures. As you meditate on the promises in this book and on the two available interactive audio CDs, they will begin to drop from your head to your heart. Transformation starts to take place. What used to be a thought in your mind is now becoming a belief system in your heart that


A Word from Sid 11

completely changes the way you see and respond to sickness. You will begin to believe with all your heart. Faith and healing will no longer be a mystery!

Chapter 1The Most Important Healing

In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. And all was perfect.

There was Adam and there was Eve. There were the animals. There was perfect harmony among all creation. There was uninhibited communication between God and man.

And then sin entered the world through Adam and Eve’s decision to disobey God’s command. And when sin entered the world, it brought with it death. And with death came sickness.

Today, there are many forms and manifesta-tions of sickness. There is sickness of the mind, sickness of the heart, sickness of the body.

But most important of all, there is a sickness of the soul. And everyone, from birth, is born with this sickness. It is a direct result of Adam and Eve’s disobedience. In fact, it IS the very thing that



entered the world when Adam and Eve disobeyed God. It is sin.

We are all born with the sickness of sin. And more important than any physical, mental or emo-tional healing you could ever receive is the healing of the soul.

But the best part? You can be healed of sin right this very moment because of what Jesus, God’s Son, accomplished with His death and resurrection.

It doesn’t take a special formula. It doesn’t have to be a mystical moment. No one else has to lay hands on you. This is between you and God.

All it takes is a simple prayer from your heart to God’s, like this:

God, I confess that I have sinned. I have disobeyed your commandments and I have not lived a holy life. I repent. I ask you to fill me with your presence. I believe Yeshua (Jesus) is your Son and that you sent him to be my sacrifice. He died and rose again and with it, conquered death, and I place my trust in Him for my eternal salvation. Heal my soul sickness. Free me from the prison of sin. Amen.


The Most Important Healing 15

If you prayed that prayer (or something like it) you have been healed of your sickness of the soul. You are no longer bound by sin. You are no longer part of this world. And best of all, God’s promises to His children (believers who have accepted Jesus like you just did when you prayed) apply to YOU.

This book is about God’s promises. It’s about praying His Word over your life and having faith in His incredible power.

Don’t treat this book as a one-way conversa-tion. That’s not what it’s for. This book is to get you to have a conversation with God – speaking to Him in His own words, which apply to you as a believer.

God spoke words and created the world and



everything in it. There is unlimited power in His Word (the Bible). And when you begin confessing and believing His promises nothing will be impos-sible for you.

*People ask me, after over 40 years of studying

healing, “What is one thing you wish you knew 40 years ago?”

I wish I understood how faith operates when you do not get your healing immediately. It is clear in the Bible but I had scales over my eyes that blinded me to the truth for many years.

Mark 11:23-24 says, “For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain (or says to their sickness), ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’



and does not doubt in his heart, but believes those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says. Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you re-ceive (Greek ‘take’) them, and you will have them” (NKJ, personalized).

You must take the promises of God before you see them. This is the difference between a healing and a miracle. A miracle is an instant healing and a healing is a gradual miracle.

The promises of God are like seeds in the nat-ural realm. Once the seeds are planted, as long as you do not dig them up and as long as you get rid of the weeds, you do not only hope they will grow, you know they will! But we are often prone to dig-ging up the seeds of His promises or letting weeds strangle our faith in them. We dig up the seeds of God’s promises by agreeing with our symptoms and not the Word of God. We let weeds strangle our faith in His promises by allowing things like unforgiveness (Mark 11:25-26) and other unre-pented sin to take root in our lives.

Having faith like the Bible describes is an even stronger type of faith than believing before you see. You must aggressively take your healing no matter how long it takes to get from the invisible world to the visible world. Jesus says it like this in



Matthew 11:12, “And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force” (NKJ). In other words, the battle is in your mind. You must violently cast down every thought or imagination that is contrary to the Word of God. This does not mean you deny symptoms. You are to deny the symptoms the right to stay and have a foothold in your life. Get forceful and command them to leave. Symptoms caused by the devil will stay around until they know you will not give up!

By faith, call those things that are not as if they were: “…God…calls those things which do not exist as though they did” (Romans 4:17, NKJ). This is not just positive thinking. As you will learn by going through this book, meditating on God’s Word is more than just saying words.

Meditating on God’s Word means speaking into existence His own promises from His own Word. It is not a ritual – it is truly believing in your heart the promises you are confessing.

*I had the privilege of knowing Kathryn Kuhl-

man and seeing her minister. She had the greatest miracle ministry of the 20th century. She proph-esied that after she died there would be a great outpouring of God’s Spirit. This third Great Awak-



ening would be so powerful that everyone in a hospital would be healed.

I see this and even greater. I see creative mir-acles where people will receive new limbs and body parts. You and I will be alive to be used in this Great Awakening that is about to be poured out on this planet. And we won’t just be observ-ing. God will move through us to bring it from the invisible world into the visible world.

The supernatural power of heaven is about to pour out on this earth like never before. We are coming into a time in history where the greater miracles will be common (John 14:12).

But always remember this: You were healed of the ultimate sickness (the sickness of sin) when you chose to place your faith in Jesus and believe



in Him for your salvation. Over 2,000 years ago He took all sins, all sickness and all burdens upon Himself on the cross to death.

Then He rose again.

Chapter 2How to Meditate On Scripture

“Meditate” in the Hebrew language means “to speak or mutter.” Therefore, the Jewish way to meditate is to speak out loud the Words of God.

When meditating on Scripture, I do the follow-ing:

1) Personalize the verse.

Psalm 91:1 [Personalizing] “He who dwells…” [Unper-sonalized] becomes “I dwell…” [Personalized]

2) Visualize yourself doing what the verse says.

3) Speak the verse out loud.

4) Add descriptive wording.

Psalm 91:1 [Descriptive Word-ing] “I dwell, [I actually breathe and live inhaling the rarefied air of heaven] in the secret place of the Most High...”



As you will learn, when you meditate on God’s Word the Jewish way, you will not only be speak-ing the words aloud, but actually believing them in your heart. Pray out loud to your mountain (symptoms) and then act on what you believe!

Unless you really know Jesus, meditating on Scripture will just be a religious exercise. To obtain experiential knowledge of God you must believe He sent Jesus to die for your sins and confess Him out loud as your Lord and Savior and ask Him to live in you.

You receive deeper experiential knowledge by reading the Bible daily, praying in tongues daily and living a life of praise and worship by being constantly aware that the Messiah is living in you, loves you and is guiding you. Enjoy His presence 24/7.

Experience more of Him each day. Really make Him Lord. Then it will dawn on you that you are totally whole in Him!

Chapter 3The Healing Scriptures

Joshua 1:7-8I am strong and very courageous. I am careful

to obey all the instructions... I do not deviate from them, turning either to the right or to the left. This is why I am successful in everything I do. I study this Book of Instruction continually. I meditate on it day and night... Only then will I prosper and succeed in all I do.

Hebrews 11:6Now, without faith it is impossible to please

Him at all. For he who comes to God must of the necessity in the nature of the case believe that He exists, that He also becomes a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him out.



Mark 11:23-24 (If I would)...say to this mountain, ‘you must

immediately be removed and you must immedi-ately be cast into the sea,’ and would not doubt in my heart but would believe that what I am saying is happening, it will be to me. I must continually pray for everything, then for whatever I am asking, I believe that I have taken it, and it will be there for me.

Romans 10:17...my faith comes by hearing, and hearing by

the Word of God. [When I hear myself speaking God’s Word my faith grows and I become a God pleaser.]

Psalm 86:15But You, O Lord, are a God full of compassion,

and gracious, Longsuffering and abundant in mer-cy and truth.

already exist] And not being weak with respect to his faith, [Abraham]...attentively considered his

own body permanently dead, he being about one hundred years old, also the deadness of Sarah’s womb. Moreover, in view of the promise of God, he did not vacillate in the sphere of unbelief between two mutually exclusive expectations but was strengthened with respect to his faith, having given glory to God, and was fully persuaded that what He had promised with finality He was able also to do...

nesses”);......And by His stripes I am healed.

the title deed) of the things [I] hope for, being the proof of things [I] do not see and the conviction of their reality [my faith perceives as real fact what is not revealed to my senses].

Acts 10:38...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. [I am anointed with the Holy Spirit and power. I do good by healing all who are oppressed by the devil, for God is with me.]

Matthew 16:19God has given me the keys of the kingdom

of heaven; and whatever I forbid to be done on earth shall have been already forbidden to be done in heaven and whatever I permit to be done on earth, shall have already been permitted to be done in heaven.

my] formed against me shall prosper...This is my heritage as a servant of the Lord...

advance by setting my foot upon snakes and scor-pions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing will in any case harm me.



2 Peter 1:3-4For His divine power has bestowed upon me

all things that [are requisite and suited] to life and godliness, through the [full, personal] knowledge of Him... [I know this because He has] given to me exceedingly great and precious promises...

1 John 3:8For this purpose the Son of God was manifest-

ed, that He might destroy the works of the devil [I am to destroy sickness by commanding it to leave in Jesus’ name].

1 Peter 3:9I do not repay evil for evil. I do not retaliate with

insults when people insult me. Instead, I pay them back with a blessing. That is what God has called me to do, and He will bless me for it.

And it shall prosper in the thing for which He sent it.

Psalm 91:9-10,16Because I have made the Lord, who is my ref-

uge,Even the Most High, my dwelling place,No evil [sickness] shall befall me,Nor shall any plague come near my dwelling;With long life God will satisfy me,And show me His salvation [healing].

John 16:23…I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, that

James 1:2-4,12I consider it wholly joyful...whenever I am

enveloped in or encounter trials of any sort or fall into various temptations. I am assured and under-stand that the trial and proving of my faith brings out endurance and steadfastness and patience.

I let endurance and steadfastness and patience have full play and do a thorough work in me, so that I may be perfectly and fully developed [with no defects], lacking in nothing.

by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of my testimony [every time I take communion, I dis-able the hold of sickness progressively more and more]...

erence and is honorable and seemly, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely and lovable, whatever is kind and winsome and gra-cious, if there is any virtue and excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, I think on and weigh and take account of these things [I fix my mind on them and not on the opposite!].

Matthew 6:14-15For if I forgive people their trespasses [their

reckless and willful sins, leaving them, letting them go, and giving up resentment], my heavenly Father will also forgive me. But if I do not forgive others their trespasses [their reckless and willful



sins, leaving them, letting them go, and giving up resentment], neither will my Father forgive me my trespasses. [Forgiveness is a requirement. It is not an emotion or a feeling but a decision. It is not based on their deserving forgiveness any more than I deserved forgiveness. This does not mean I must trust the person. They must earn my trust. I choose to live in instant forgiveness!]

1 John 4:17-18...as He is, so am I in this world. There is no fear

in love; but perfect (mature) love casts out fear...he who fears has not been made perfect (mature) in love [the love of God trumps fear].

Psalm 103:20Bless the Lord, you His angels, who excel in

strength, who do His word heeding the voice of His word [His promises in my mouth].

Prayer of Blessing

Matthew 18:19 says “Again I say to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven.”

I agree with you (that makes two of us) in Jesus’ Name for your healing. You are healed!

Shalom and Love,

Chapter 4Answers to Common Questions

on Healing

Q. Does everyone have the gift of healing?Not everyone has the gift of healing. But ac-

cording to Mark 16:18, every believer can “...lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”

Q. What are the steps I should follow to receive the gift of healing?

To receive the gift of healing, you should walk in holiness, intimacy with God, meditate on the healing Scriptures in this book and ask God for the gift. Also, lay hands on and pray for the sick often. The way the first disciples learned to walk in mira-cles was to watch what Jesus did and do the same thing. Find someone with the gift of healing and volunteer to “carry his or her bags.” In other words, volunteer to help them so they can mentor you.



Q. Can I pray for my own healing or does some-one else have to pray over me?

Since every believer can lay hands on the sick (Mark 16:18), that means you can lay hands on yourself. Follow the same steps as you would for someone else: Walk in holiness and intimacy with God and confess the healing Scriptures within this book over your life.

Q. Why are many miracles today not instanta-neous or complete like Jesus’ miracles were?

Not every healing by Jesus was instantaneous. The Bible tells us how He prayed for a blind man twice in order for him to be healed (Mark 8:25). Je-sus promised we would do the same works He did and even greater (John14:12)! We are entering a


Answers to Common Questions on Healing 47

time in history where God will anoint us like Jesus and we will see the same works and greater. Don’t be discouraged when you do not see an instanta-neous miracle. Keep praying and having faith in God. God may manifest His power in the form of a healing rather than a miracle. The difference be-tween a healing and a miracle is that a healing is a gradual miracle and a miracle is an instant healing.

Q. Why are some people healed and others are not?

There can be many reasons for why some people are healed and others are not. Sometimes, the reason is as simple as not repenting of sin or unforgiveness. Another reason is some falter on their faith based on symptoms. Sometimes people will just give up. But we are not called to judge. We are called to be believers. We are to trust God and not question with our limited understanding. We are responsible for what we know, not for what we do not know.

Q. Is there a specific way to pray in order to see healing miracles happen?

Jesus prayed different ways in the Gospels. Let the Holy Spirit direct you. Meditate on the healing Scriptures found in this book. Lay hands on the



sick and believe. Sometimes people are healed in-stantly through a miracle and sometimes they are healed gradually. Do not be moved by what you see but be moved only by the Word of God. If you can go witnessing with a believer that sees mira-cles when they pray, this will help grow your gift.

Q. Does God ever cause someone to get sick?God does not cause someone to get sick.

However, sin, curses or inherited (generational) curses open the door for the devil to put sickness on us. Thankfully, Galatians 3:13 says, “Messiah has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, ‘Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree’)… ”Therefore, we can break curses through prayer. No matter how sickness comes, Jesus died for all of our diseases (Psalm 103:3). Disease does not come from God. Killing, stealing and destroying is the work of the devil whereas abundant life comes from God (John 10:10).

Q. Can God heal more than just physical ailments (i.e. emotions and behavior)?

Yes, God can heal more than just physical ail-ments! He has come that you may have abundant life in your spirit, soul and body.



Q. How does modern medicine and the healthcare industry fit in with God’s ability to heal miracu-lously?

Pray first and if the symptoms are serious, go to a doctor. It is not a lack of faith to go to a doctor. Once you have a diagnosis, you can target the condition better with prayer.

I fight disease any way I can. God uses doctors but as our faith is developed we will walk in divine health. There is no condemnation in Jesus! It is easier to develop your faith when you are well so that when symptoms of sickness start to manifest you can resist them from taking root.

Q. Is it true that forgiveness is part of the healing process?

Yes, forgiveness is part of the healing process. It has been said, “unforgiveness is taking the poi-son you want your enemy to take.” Forgiveness is a choice. Being able to trust the person you are forgiving can take time but we should always live in instant forgiveness.

Q. What are the largest obstacles to receiving a healing miracle?

The two largest obstacles to receiving a healing miracle are unrepentant sin and underdeveloped



faith. Remember: Faith is a gift that every believer receives but it is also a fruit that must be devel-oped.

Q. If someone prays over me and I get healed, is the person who prayed or God responsible for the healing?

God, moving through the person who prayed for the healing, gets all the credit!

Q. How do I answer someone who asks me why God won’t heal them?

Give them a copy of this book! Jesus paid the price for their healing. They are already healed and as they develop the fruit of faith and resist the devil he must flee. Since there is no time in eter-nity, the timing for healing is up to God. The faith part is up to us. The devil loves to cause sickness and get us to question the goodness of God. Be careful to never get angry with God. Our job is to get intimate with Him. Through faith and patience the healing will come.

Q. Should I be concerned with counterfeit mira-cles?

The Bible warns about false miracles especially in the last days. The two most important keys to



separating the true from the counterfeit in the last days are holiness and Israel.

Those that walk in the gift of healing and are not holy in lifestyle or have an unbiblical view on the Jew and Israel will open themselves to evil spirits. The Spirit of God is called the Holy Spirit. Israel is where the Gospel started and Israel is where Jesus will return. The promise of Genesis 12:3 is true – God will bless those who bless the Jewish people and curse those who curse them. Joel 3:1-2 says the sin that releases final judgment is for “dividing up His land (Israel).” God arranged a lease for the land with the Jewish people (Psalm 105:8-11). The terms are “forever,” “1,000 genera-tions” and “everlasting.” It’s an airtight contract! The call of the Gentile believer is to “provoke the Jew



to jealousy” (Romans 11:11) by proclaiming the Gospel. When the One New Man is formed (Jew and Gentile, one in Messiah) it will release life from the dead (Romans 11:15).

Q. Why does it matter that God continues to per-form miracles today?

A miracle proves the Kingdom of God has come to earth. When people see miracles it makes them receptive to hearing the Gospel. This is how Jesus, the apostles and the first disciples got crowds to hear the Good News. Healing miracles are just as much a tool for evangelism as they are a benefit to those who receive the healing.

Q. What is one Scripture that I should have at the forefront of my mind when attacked by sickness?

I love Matthew 6:10: “Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.”

There is no sickness in heaven. We are called to enforce the devil to stop his lying symptoms on earth. We are called to agree with God and His Word and not the devil and his lies. Who will you agree with? We are not to deny the symptoms but deny their right to stay!
