5 Biblical Steps To Receive Healing

Follow in the footsteps of the woman with the issue of blood to receive healing today. Let’s learn a little about this woman in the Bible, who suffered from a chronic condition that caused constant bleeding.

“A woman in the crowd had suffered for twelve years with constant bleeding. She had suffered a great deal from many doctors, and over the years, she had spent everything she had to pay them, but she had gotten no better. In fact, she had gotten worse” (Mark 5:25-26). 

You may be able to identify with this woman. She had done everything she knew to do to get well, but instead of getting better, she got worse!

Have you been struggling with a condition for a long time and haven’t felt better, but instead you’ve gotten worse? If so, you can receive healing today by following the same biblical steps this woman took.

Hear the Word

What did she hear? She heard the Word that Jesus miraculously healed people of their diseases, even incurable ones. Verse 27 says, “She had heard about Jesus, so she came up behind him through the crowd….”

Maybe you haven’t heard that Jesus heals. Perhaps you have wondered if a miracle could happen to you. Those answers lie in learning about Jesus, the Healer. 

Watch Healing School from the 2025 Southwest Believers’ Convention on Saturday, Aug. 2. Kenneth Copeland and Benny Hinn share God’s Word, faith is stirred, and God’s power heals many people! 

The same anointing that was present in the Bible for the woman with the issue of blood is also present at Healing School in Fort Worth. No matter the time or distance, the same Jesus can heal you today! 

Believe the Word

When the woman heard that Jesus was healing people, she came behind Him “and touched his robe” (verse 27). Her action of reaching out and touching Jesus’ robe showed that she believed Jesus could heal her. 

The Bible has a lot to say about healing. You can read and believe healing scriptures to receive healing for whatever you need. 

Speak the Word

After hearing the Word and believing the Word, “she thought to herself, ‘If I can just touch his robe, I will be healed’” (verse 28). One translation says that she kept saying this to herself, meaning she repeatedly spoke those words.

Words are powerful, especially words spoken in faith. It’s important to say what you want to happen. She spoke her healing, believing in the power of the Word of God (Jesus).

Do the Word

Then she had to act on the Word. She had to do the Word. Hoping no one saw her, “she touched the fringe of his robe” (Matthew 9:20). 

It wasn’t lawful at that time to reach out and touch someone’s garment, especially when she was considered “unclean” due to her blood condition. But she did it anyway. She had faith in her heart, rooted in the Word she had heard, to reach out and touch the fringe of Jesus’ garment. 

You might think, “I can’t touch Jesus like this woman did.” However, you can. Jesus is the Word (John 1:14; 1 John 1:1), and He is the same yesterday, today and forever (Hebrews 13:8).

Be Healed by the Word

As soon as she touched His garment, “immediately the bleeding stopped, and she could feel in her body that she had been healed of her terrible condition” (Mark 5:29).

“Jesus realized at once that healing power had gone out from him, so he turned around in the crowd and asked, ‘Who touched my robe?’ His disciples said to him, ‘Look at this crowd pressing around you. How can you ask, ‘Who touched me?’ But he kept on looking around to see who had done it. Then the frightened woman, trembling at the realization of what had happened to her, came and fell to her knees in front of him, telling him what she had done. And he said to her, ‘Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace. Your suffering is over’” (verses 30-34).

Just like the woman with the issue of blood, you can use the same process to receive your healing. You can receive healing in your home, in church or at special services, such as KCM’s Southwest Believers’ Convention.

God wants you to be healed (3 John 2). Put your faith in God, follow the steps, and receive your healing today!
