The Praise Cure

In her book, Healing from Heaven1, Lilian B. Yeomans spoke of many cures such as the barefoot cure, the grape cure or the mud cure and some of them even worked to some extent. However, she claimed that the only sure cure is the praise cure.

She also mentioned that some of these cures are very expensive and the praise cure is the most expensive of all, but the full cost of the praise cure was paid by Jesus.

How do you apply the praise cure? Start giving praise in words and song for what Jesus has done for you. And there is no reason to stop even after whatever ails you has disappeared.

One song of praise among many including many of the psalms

Be healed
in Jesus name.
The kingdom of God
has come near
to you.

The Kingdom of God Has Come Near To You—Six Sentence Story

When Ryan visited his friends one evening he talked to their aunt who sat in a wheelchair with her heart wrapped in a web of bitterness so tightly that love couldn’t escape. Feeling a rush of reckless compassion for them he risked asking her if she’d like a prayer of faith even though he knew she wouldn’t.

Compelled by politeness she agreed sternly informing him that she knew what paralysis was even if he didn’t and he merely responded by saying, I command healing in your body in the name of Jesus. After a pause he spoke directly to the hostility in her eyes, The Kingdom of God has come near to you. When nothing happened, he told her to remember and expect her healing, but if anything was amiss it was his faith and not her lack of it.

Three days later she rose from her chair and walked wanting out of habit not to smile yet overcome with such joy she couldn’t help it.

James 5:13-15 KJV – 13 Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let him sing psalms. 14 Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: 15 And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.
