Is it not true that Jesus was sinless? certainly. Are you sinless? Hardly! So there were no obstacles to flow of power of Holy Spirit through him. There ARE obstacles in us. These come from sin and sin comes from selfishness. So we need to concentrate our efforts on eliminating latter. Greater success will follow, albiet as a long term achiement.

3. Lack Of Attention To Basic Problems In The Sufferer Do you know person you are praying with? Sometimes, of course, we know people very well. We need to make explicit use of that knowledge to isolate any possible abstacles to healing.

What is their expectation of healing going to be? Have they any experience of being prayed with? Do they remain still and receive or insist on praying as well? Are there any serious ares of sin in their lives of which you are aware which could constitute an obstacle to sin? (But be very careful how you approach these).

In some situations we may not know person at all. When we are praying with people at public Christian meetings, days of renewal, conference and like, we may often find ourselves ministering to strangers. Follow any information path which seems to be of possible relevance. There are often reasons for nonhealing tucked away in peoples lives.

4. Lack Of Proper Diagnosis Would you be worried if your doctor began proscibing medicine at your next visit without asking about problem or investigating its causes? We also need to investigate possible causes. One of most common reasons for nonhealing lies with a failure to conduct a proper investigation into person's problem.

Do not feel that you have to get straight into praying bit. Take your time and don't let anyone hurry you unnecessarily.

5. Expecting God To Work Instead Of Ourselves Who accomplishes healing? God, of course. But does he choose to do it independently of us? Obviously so in some cases. But often he does not - or why do we bother praying with people for healing? If we are in healing ministry he expects us to do that share of work which he has entrusted to us. If we skimp on it, if we do not do all that we can if, in short, we fail to love our fellows, then we are at fault and healing will often not occur.

We need to do all we can, as part of our ministry, to ensure that healing happens. Always ask "why" when it does not. If there is no obvious reason lodging with person being prayed with, perhapsthere is a fault which lies with us. If we examine ourselves in this way, we may learn something new for next time.
