Pastor Mensa Otabil told his church members they can receive healing without fancy prayers. During a Good Friday service at Christ Temple in East Teshie, Accra, he explained how believers can ask for healing regardless of their prayer skills. The service focused on the message "By His Stripes We Are Healed" from Isaiah 53:4-5, highlighting how Christ's suffering brings spiritual and physical healing.
Otabil said Jesus already took on human sickness through his sacrifice. He pointed to the Bible story where Jesus healed Peter's mother-in-law with just a simple touch. The pastor emphasized that healing comes through faith in what Jesus did, not through loud or long prayers. He said you might not need someone screaming over you to heal - just believe Jesus is present to heal you as he did for others.
He urged church members to think about what Christ's sacrifice really means. The pastor stressed that Jesus has already carried all sickness and pain for humanity. According to Otabil, people just need to show real faith to receive the healing benefits Christ died to provide. His message reminded everyone that healing comes from trusting in Christ's completed work.
