Why does forgiveness come up in healing prayer?

Vince Baker Ministries · Based on the teachings of Vince Baker

Read the passages in context

Ephesians places forgiveness beside kindness and tenderheartedness. Romans recognizes that living peaceably also involves what is possible. In John 9, Jesus rejects the disciples’ attempt to explain a man’s blindness by assigning personal blame.

• Mark 11:22–25
• Ephesians 4:31–32
• Romans 12:18
• John 9:1–3

Put the reading into practice

Name the hurt in prayer and ask God for help carrying it. If the relationship involves ongoing harm, maintain safe boundaries and seek trusted support. Forgiveness may take time, and a prayer gathering can give people space to reflect privately.
