It’s finally here…my latest spiritual weapon for those in need of healing. This follow up prayer resource to my book, WORDS TO PRAY BY, is filled with scriptures and prayers for those taking a stand for wholeness and divine health. This is not just about physical healing, but personal transformation!
Below is an excerpt from the book where I share my own story of pursuit. Or, CLICK HERE for a free 30-page preview of the book! You can pre-order now for a special price – available until the official release on November 15.
…As a result of my simple obedience I was overcome by His presence, reassured of His love, and strengthened in my faith. Just the night before, I had been awakened, yet again, by a spirit of fear. Sensing that Holy Spirit was about to do something powerful, the enemy was trying to harass me and immobilize my faith. I had awoken with great trepidation and apprehension in trying this whole nicotine idea. But by joining in agreement with Bobby the following morning and stepping out in faith, that spirit of fear was immediately dealt with, and the joy of the Lord flooded my soul.
“And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who seek Him.” (Hebrews 11:6)
Interestingly, I was surprised to realize that the ring in my ear was still there. Even as I was experiencing the powerful presence of the Lord, my ear was still ringing! So, even as I took in this powerful encounter, I instinctively knew this journey was far from over. This was not the culmination of my faith, nor was this the key to my healing. And as amazing as this sudden visitation was, it wasn’t the high point of my journey. It was only the beginning.
That first dose was just the start of ongoing visitations and encounters with the Lord. The nicotine protocol called for me to chew nicotine gum four times a day. I had only taken the first dose that morning and had three more to go. Upon taking the second dose a few hours later, I was stunned when the same thing happened. Five minutes after chewing the gum, the Holy Spirit came upon me again in the same measure and I had to sit down to take it all in. Lasting almost an hour, His overwhelming presence was just as strong and just as surprising.
This continued with the third and fourth dose that day – and continued the next day, and the next – after every dose. The tangible and powerful presence of the Lord descended upon me each and every time I took a dose of this strange protocol. What became rather humorous was that instead of becoming addicted to nicotine, I was becoming addicted to His presence! And that’s exactly what He wanted. He was teaching me how to recognize His tangible presence and to set aside whatever I was doing and simply yield. Because His weight was so strong, I had already known to sit down whenever I took a dose so I wouldn’t keel over somewhere and hurt myself. It was apparent that He was taking me much deeper than anticipated and giving me keys to healing that I’d never considered. The reality was, even if my body wasn’t being physically healed yet in the way I expected, my soul and spirit were being radically healed and transformed. His presence became my medicine. Literally!
In each of these encounters, He revealed something different about His character. He would show me His love, His tenderness, His power, and many other aspects of His nature. One Sunday afternoon, I was overwhelmed with His beauty. I had never felt impressed by this before, and my heart was overwhelmed when He poured over me a liquid love and revelation of how beautiful He was. I wept and rejoiced in this new revelation and actually told Him to stop as I didn’t think my physical body could handle so much glory! The truth was – what had started as a nightmare a few months before was now turning into heavenly encounters I never could have imagined. I was finding HIM.

SAMPLE PRAYERS from Words For Healing
Numbers 23:19
God is not human, that He should lie, not a human being, that He should change His mind. Does He speak and then not act? Does He promise and not fulfill?
Thank You, Lord, for keeping Your word in healing all our sicknesses and diseases. This is what You provided at the cross and it never expires. You haven’t changed Your mind, and You never cancel a promise. I stand in the assurance of Your faithfulness to Your word and Your unchanging determination to make me whole.
Deuteronomy 31:6
Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you.
Lord, thank You for not leaving me in my weakened state or giving up on me! Thank You for going before me and paving this path to health and well being. I am strong and courageous because the power of Your Spirit lives within me. I do not fear the unknown for You have already gone before and made a way through.
Deuteronomy 32:4
He is the Rock, His works are perfect, and all His ways are just. A faithful God who does no wrong, upright and just is He.
You are my Rock, O God! Your ways are perfect and the way You are leading me in this healing journey is just and good. You can do no wrong and are committed to my welfare and wholeness. Help me keep in step with You and stay faithful to Your directives.

That’s amazing! I have been considering the nicotine protocol as well. If I could have encounters like you did I would buy it right now! 🙂 Thank you for sharing your wisdom with us- I know it was not a fun time for you going through the physical struggles. So many need this right now- me included. Will be purchasing your book. Thank you!
Thank you Wanda for all that you do. I enjoy your book “Words To Pray By” so much that I bought 15 copies. I have given away 12 of them so far.
Looking forward to ordering this new book. Be blessed !
Thank you, Wanda! Words to Pray By has been such an inspiration to me. Words for Healing will be a cherished addition to my home library. I will be giving additional copies to my close friends.
Your life is encouraging to many. I belong to the Prayer Force in Spring City, TN. We follow your podcasts. Thank you for your dedication and love of our Lord and Savior!
Wanda, I was led to your youtube video on healing, and found you to be a solid Christian, like those i knew back in the 1980’s. What really struck me was this new approach you introduced–that of pursuing the Healer, not necessarily your healing. That rings so true for me, and I know that I have much need for transformation in my relationship with Jesus. My friend had “seen” a big black bag of goodies hovering over my head-closed. I had been asking Him what that’s about, and finally, the other day, He had me remember a thought I had had in childhood, where I said to myself: “it’s useless to ask Mom for anything; the answer is always no”; I am sure that my belief and expectation that I would be uncared for by my parent has translated to my Shepherd and my Father. So, I pray that I can get that breach healed in my heart and begin to know that I am loved and cared for-just like everyone else.
