Sure, Anand! Thanks for the question. One of the first examples we see of this is with Abraham when he prayed for Abimelech in Genesis 20.
༄
“Then Abraham prayed to God, and God healed Abimelech, and also healed his wife and female slaves so that they bore children.” Genesis 20:17.
༄
What is fascinating here is Abraham and Sarah desired a child at this time, but out of humble obedience he prayed for Abimelech and his house (because God had shut the wombs of his harem because of Sarah), and we see here healing flowed.
༄
It sets a precedent, though we are not under the Law, there are rich spiritual truths we glean.
༄
And this doesn't mean that what we do stops what God can or will do in the life of another; yet we see throughout Biblical history how God desires us to come in alignment with His will so that blessings flow freely in the body of Christ.
༄
The obedience to walk in the Spirit and pray for someone on the spot when prompted, lay hands on someone who is sick, send a text message with a word of encouragement at the Spirit's prompting could be the very thing someone needs at that moment.
Hi Sister, I'm just curious about this: "Your obedience unlocks someone else’s healing." Would you be able to explain this?
