Recognizing the authority, we have in Jesus will change the way we see our situations or receive bad news because we know that these things are not what is final or eternal. Jesus is final. His death and his resurrection are where sickness, fear, anxiety, depression, doubt, insecurity and lack were forever finished. It's the power in the name of Jesus that brings the healing and the change we need. Healing is the children's bread. It is God's will. Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law. So, no sickness has rights to us.
Declaration: I know that I have healing because Jesus has given me authority over all the power of the enemy.
Prayer: Jesus, I know I have the authority to speak life over any situation and believe that it will change. I believe that through your name, I have authority over everything the enemy means for harm in my life. Help me to speak your name before I speak the things of this world over my life. I speak life over me and my family and our bodies, and today, I declare we shall live and not die, and we will testify “it was the Lord who did it. May your goodness and the truth of your name be on my lips every day. Continue to work in me, work in my body, work in my heart, work in my mind, my healing, my wholeness because you love me and desire to do so, in Jesus' name. Nothing missing, nothing broken. Amen.

Acts 3:1-10 One day Peter and John were going up to the temple at the time of prayer—at three in the afternoon. Now a man who was lame from birth was being carried to the temple gate called Beautiful, where he was put every day to beg from those going into the temple courts. When he saw Peter and John about to enter, he asked them for money. Peter looked straight at him, as did John. Then Peter said, “Look at us!” So, the man gave them his attention, expecting to get something from them. Then Peter said, “Silver or gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk.” Taking him by the right hand, he helped him up, and instantly the man’s feet and ankles became strong. He jumped to his feet and began to walk. Then he went with them into the temple courts, walking and jumping, and praising God. When all the people saw him walking and praising God, they recognized him as the same man who used to sit begging at the temple gate called Beautiful, and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him.
