Summary of "Overflow of the Spirit - Session 10 - MV - "Heal the Sick...""
Summary — Overflow of the Spirit — Session 10 (Mark Virkler)
Main themes
- Healing and miracles are manifestations of the Spirit that bring the Kingdom of Heaven to earth.
- Kingdom emotions (compassion, love, joy, gratitude, thankfulness) are carriers that activate healing power.
- Faith, empowered by the Holy Spirit, activates miracles; repetition, obedience and confession help faith grow.
- Deliverance (casting out demonic or unhealthy influences) and physical healing often go together; remove legal rights/anchors first, then command removal.
Practical healing models and techniques
The session presents repeatable methods for praying for healing and deliverance.
1) Soaking prayer (group lay-on-hands model)
- Arrange 3–6 people in a circle and seat the person to be prayed for in the center.
- Everyone lays hands on the person (two hands if possible) to form a “current” of Holy Spirit power.
- Pray and “soak” for about 15–20 minutes. Options during soaking:
- Quietly sense or visualize God’s power moving from hands into the body.
- Pray briefly in tongues to sensitize your spirit.
- Share flowing thoughts, pictures, words of knowledge/wisdom as they come and act on them (repentance, forgiveness, renunciation).
- Expect some level of healing for the recipient and often for those praying.
- Practice regularly; results increase with faith and repetition.
2) Heart-faith / Confessional faith (five-sense, rhema-word model)
- Receive a rhema (a specific spoken word) and a vision from God; fill the five senses of your spirit:
- Hear (rhema)
- See (vision)
- Ponder/meditate
- Decide/act
- Speak (confession)
- Use confession as medicine: speak God’s healing promises aloud regularly (for example, morning/noon/night).
- Persistently speak and believe God’s word over the situation until manifestation.
- Combine confession with monitoring and practical support (e.g., health apps, nutrition, medical care) while maintaining thanksgiving.
- Grow faith by doing “spiritual push-ups” — small, regular acts of faith that build strength.
3) Seven-step practical healing process (stepwise checklist)
- Begin with compassion — genuinely care for the person (self and others).
- Honor and ask: inquire what’s wrong and what the person needs.
- Become sensitive: quiet yourself, listen for impressions, flowing thoughts, pictures; respond (forgiveness, repentance, renunciation as needed).
- Acknowledge God’s compassion and power publicly or privately (thanksgiving, declaration of Scripture such as “by His stripes we are healed”).
- Exercise authority: command healing or removal of sickness/unhealthy influence in Jesus’ name (use specific, simple commands).
- Give thanks and encourage testing: have the person try a movement or activity they couldn’t do before to confirm change.
- Keep praying in faith: repeat the prayer immediately (2nd, 3rd times) as needed until no further change occurs.
Deliverance — removing “anchors” before commanding a demon to leave
- Identify legal rights/anchors (examples: unforgiveness, ongoing sin, anger, fear).
- Have the person repent and renounce the behavior or agreement that gave legal right; replace it with truth and mercy.
- Then command the influence/demon to leave in Jesus’ name.
- Keep commands short, authoritative, and follow with thanksgiving.
Self-care and wellness principles embedded in the teaching
- Cultivate kingdom emotions — compassion, gratitude, joy, love — as both self-care and conduits for healing.
- Practice confession and affirmation: speak truth over health and life consistently (like medicine).
- Combine spiritual practices with physical support: good nutrition, appropriate medical care, monitoring (health devices/apps), rest and celebration to reduce stress.
- Celebrate and cultivate thankfulness — it reduces stress and creates a healing posture.
- Journal and seek a clear rhema/vision; record what you believe God has said and meditate on it (Joshua 1:8 model).
Productivity and skill-building recommendations
- Practice the methods repeatedly; proficiency comes with repetition.
- Use mentors or coaches to speed the learning curve.
- Train in multiple prayer approaches (the speaker references many methods) to build flexibility and stamina.
- Regular spiritual disciplines (“spiritual push-ups”) build faith and effectiveness over time.
- Immediate action and obedience — do what you can when prompted — multiplies results.
Practical outreach and application tips
- Offer to pray for hurting people in everyday places (streets, restaurants, stores).
- Keep prayer simple and immediate: ask, lay hands, pray, encourage testing.
- Use small public steps of faith — visible healing ministry can draw people to faith.
- Encourage others to try the methods and report results.
Suggested practices and journaling prompts
- Try the three prayer approaches (soaking, heart-faith/confession, seven-step process) several times and note results.
- Cultivate heart-faith: ask God for a vision for specific areas (marriage, family, health), fill your spirit’s senses with it, speak it, act on it.
- Routinely offer to pray for people in need and practice the seven-step model.
- Keep a journal of rhema words, visions, impressions, and outcomes; review and meditate on them regularly.
