God’s Heart For Healing The Sick #3

God’s Heart Healing Overview

In this third installment of his series on healing, Pastor William Hohman of NTC Ministries builds powerfully on the foundations laid in previous sessions. This message focuses on two key pillars of effective prayer: the authority of the name of Jesus and the prayer of agreement. Pastor Hohman walks listeners through foundational scriptures including Isaiah 53, 1 Peter 2:24, John 14:12-14, John 16:23-24, Matthew 18:18-20, Ecclesiastes 4:9-12, Deuteronomy 32:30, Psalm 133, and 3 John 1:2, weaving together biblical truth with vivid personal illustrations. From a gripping account of a meth-addicted man raised from a coma through praying in agreement, to a striking analogy about the dangers of lenticular clouds in mountain flying, the sermon is both doctrinally rich and deeply practical. Pastor Hohman challenges believers to stop sitting on their hands and to actively exercise the authority given to them through the name of Jesus, praying in unity with other believers to see healing, restoration, and miraculous results manifested in everyday life.

Key Takeaways

• Healing was purchased by the stripes of Jesus and already belongs to every believer — it must be received by faith, not merely hoped for.
• Believers are commanded to pray to the Father in the name of Jesus, using that name with reverence and authority because it carries the full weight of heaven behind it.
• The prayer of agreement is not a last resort but a supernatural force: where one can put a thousand to flight, two in agreement can put ten thousand to flight.
• Praying in agreement with another believer tears the roof off spiritual barriers and brings the healing and miraculous power of Jesus directly into a person’s life.
• Unity among believers releases a divine synergism where the combined power of agreement far exceeds the sum of individual prayers, as described in Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 and Deuteronomy 32:30.
• Spiritual compromise — getting too close to ungodly influences like a lenticular cloud — can silently destroy faith, health, and destiny before a believer realizes the danger.
• Testimonies of what God has done are not optional encouragements but essential tools that build corporate faith and rob the enemy of his foothold in the lives of others.

God’s Heart Healing Notes

Healing Already Purchased at the Cross

Pastor Hohman opens by anchoring the entire series in a non-negotiable truth: healing is not something believers need to beg God for, because it was already secured by the suffering of Jesus Christ. Isaiah 53:5 declares he was wounded and bruised for our transgressions, while 1 Peter 2:24 confirms in the past tense that we were healed. The analogy is clear — a man who purchased a car but never picked it up has no right to complain about walking. Believers must move from hoping to be healed to boldly confessing and receiving what has already been paid for in full.

The Name of Jesus as Heaven’s Currency

A significant portion of the message is devoted to the correct biblical protocol for prayer: believers pray to the Father, not to Jesus, but they do so in the name of Jesus. John 14:13 and John 16:23 make this distinction explicit. Pastor Hohman uses the analogy of drawing money from a bank — your name authorizes the withdrawal. In the same way, the name of Jesus is the believer’s authorized signature before the Father’s throne. Using that name builds faith progressively, and it must never be used frivolously or as a curse but only with the honor due the highest name in all of existence.

Lenticular Clouds and Spiritual Compromise

One of the most memorable illustrations in the sermon comes from Pastor Hohman’s background as a pilot. Lenticular clouds, shaped like smooth lenses and forming near mountain ranges, look completely harmless on a clear day. Yet the downdrafts they generate are so violent that dozens of private planes were found crashed in the Rockies, their pilots having flown in not realizing the danger until it was too late. The application is direct: worldly entanglements and ungodly alliances can look innocent but carry invisible destructive forces. Believers who get too close, thinking they can manage the proximity, risk crashing and burning spiritually.

Synergism in the Prayer of Agreement

Citing Deuteronomy 32:30, Pastor Hohman explains that the power of agreement is not merely additive but exponential — a synergism where the whole far exceeds the sum of its parts. One believer can put a thousand enemies to flight, but two in agreement can put ten thousand to flight. This is why Jesus sent disciples out two by two and why he cleared unbelieving mourners before performing miracles. Agreement must be genuine, faith-filled, and rooted in the Word. Corporate prayer built on true unity — not desperation or numbers alone — is what moves heaven and sees impossible situations transformed.

Testimonies Tear Down Barriers

Pastor Hohman is emphatic that sharing what God has done is a spiritual responsibility, not a personal choice. When believers stay silent about healings, answered prayers, and miraculous interventions, they rob others of the faith-building fuel those testimonies provide. Revelation 12:11 reminds us that we overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony. The story of the meth addict who opened his eyes the moment agreement was reached in prayer, and who years later embraced Pastor Hohman in a restaurant as a husband and father doing well, is a living testament to the power of declaring what God has done.

Living as Kingdom Authority in the Last Days

The closing section of the sermon sounds an urgent note for the days believers are living in. Luke 21:25 describes the perplexity of nations with no way out, and the church is identified as the salt that preserves the earth until the rapture. Signs, wonders, and miracles are not historical curiosities but the dinner bell God uses to draw people to himself in this final hour. Just as Jesus healed the sick and raised the dead to draw multitudes, believers today are equipped with the same authority and called to do even greater works — leading souls into the new birth, which is the greatest miracle of all.
