Why Most Christians Never Heal the Sick… And How You Can - #185 Tom Loud

A Stronger Faith

359,595 views

For many Christians, healing is something they believe God can do—but rarely something they expect Him to do through them.

Tom Loud spent decades praying for people with little to no results. Then one revelation from God changed everything. Today, he has trained thousands of ordinary believers around the world to pray for the sick with confidence, authority, and expectancy—and they've witnessed countless testimonies of healing.

▶️ If this episode impacts you, be sure to watch our Healing & Miracles playlist here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list...

In this conversation, Tom shares:
• Why most Christians rarely see healing when they pray
• The biblical difference between praying for healing and commanding healing
• The role of faith, authority, and the Holy Spirit in healing ministry
• Whether healing is a gift for only a few—or available to every believer
• How God transformed Tom's understanding after decades of frustration
• Remarkable healing testimonies from everyday Christians around the world

Whether you're skeptical, curious, or have prayed for healing yourself, this conversation will challenge what you believe about the words of Jesus and what may still be possible today.

There was a time a few years ago my mother-in-law was sick. I was led to go pray for her so I did and when I prayed, I layed my hand slightly above her head and I and her felt a warmth. We didn’t mention this until the next day when she woke up well (healed). I asked her if she felt something warm and she said yes on my head.

I also just recently witnessed my own healing. This February 2026 I was diagnosed with cancer in the lining of the uterus. I stood on Gods word for healing, I declared that the next biopsy would come back showing no trace of cancer. I declared that I was healed before hearing that I was. So July 2026 the biopsy came back showing no trace of cancer! Praise God!!

After watching Tom Loud's testimony, I acted in faith on a nagging, upper left shoulder pain from long hours driving. I thanked the Father for the authority we've been given, then commanded the pain to go. When doubts piped up in my mind, I told the carnal mind to be quiet. Just a simple, shh... and let the Holy Spirit work. Within seconds, the pain left. I'm grateful and giving God all the glory.

In the year 2001, I offered to come to a colleague’s home to pray for his son who had boils from head to toe, and doctors couldn’t help. He politely declined, said thanks and so I told him that God can still heal him whether or not my dad and I didn’t come to his house. So we prayed. A day or 2 later, his son’s boils disappeared with no trace, overnight. Then his wife came to to the airport where I was working and brought me a gift basket! Only God!

My wife about 6 months ago had a flare-up of trigeminal neuralgia. Its called the suicide disease for a reason. It feels like electricity moving through the side of your face. Anyway, it was a level 15 on a one to 10 scale. She was about to go to the ER for some relief. I work overseas so I could not be tgere with her. I tried praying asking God to take the pain away. Nothing. Then my son put his hands on her face and, over the phone, we rebuked it and commanded healing in the name of Jesus. My son lifted his hands off her and the pain was gone. It was a 15 and it went to a zero immediately. Thank you Jesus!! I've since prayed with a lot of people trying to do it again and, as far as I know, it hasn't worked but I'm not going to stop. I'm going to keep on.

I went on a bus trip with my wife and when we arrived at the tour bus place I went to the desk to check in and I saw this woman who had a problem with her leg and she had to get around on a scooter. So I asked her if I could pray for her leg, she said yes so I commanded her leg and muscles tendons and nerves to be healed in Jesus name and then I told her to just try it and walk so she did and was very surprised. Then I found out that she was our tour guide. Praise Jesus!

I was diagnosed with Hypothyroidism 15 years ago.
When my doctor told me the news, I started to laugh. He was puzzled, but the numbers were so bad, I figured it must have been a mistake in the lab. I was retested with the same outrageous results and told of the bad things in my future. My husband and I were visiting a church and anyone who wanted prayer for healing was invited to come forward. The pastor anointed me with oil, prayed and I was healed. The lab tests were done again and proved I was totally healed. That was 15 years ago! My unbelief was in the doctors. My belief and praise is for my Jehovah Rapha. 😊
Oh how He loves us so. 🎶 ❤

Tom loud prayed for my leg, one grew equally to the other literally in front of my eye, then no more knee or lower back pain. Praise God!!

I have been healed of stage 4 cancer. Learning how to quiet my carnal mind was one of the hardest things, but most effective things I learned how to do.

I was only 22 minutes into this interview, and I was inspired to record a prayer for my stepdaughter Beth who is very ill in the Indianapolis area. She has been in the hospital since Jun 25th. It is not looking good, but I did an audio recording of a prayer taking authority over her sickness and loosing healing on her. I just sent it to my husband who is there with her now. My natural mind is telling me it will never work...they won't like the prayer...she won't listen, but I am telling my natural mind...shh...shh..silence

I have prayed for a lady who wasn't there. Her daughter stood in on her mum's behalf. She had stage 4 cancer, ready for surgery the next day. I prayed over a tissue, and the daughter laid it on her mum. Several weeks later, the daughter met me and said that her mum was totally healed.

God bless and love you Tom!!! This is John and Liz. We met and you prayed for us a few years ago in Florida. You prayed for John to stop medications that were finally after many years, hurting him. He had asked Father for a sign to stop and after you prayed you said " try to get off the meds". He immediately went cold turkey and had no withdrawal! You were very kind to him and us! God bless and love you!!!!

I totally agree with Tom, even though I am only 1/2 through this video. Another way to say it is that we need to be willing to fail in prayers for healing, we need to pray in such a way that it is obvious our prayer was not answered. If we pray with outs, such as if the Lord is willing, guide the hands of the doctors, where something else can explain what happens except that the prayer was not answered. I have found the more precise and "bigger" and more impossible seems to help. One example: I had a ski accident, shoulder into a mogul at high speed, I could not use my right arm, extreme pain. The doctor that examined it that day said 90-100% severed rotator cuff tendon, needed an operation to reattach. Could not lift my arm outward over a few inches. Same thing next morning. I walked to my kitchen and said a prayer close to this, "Jesus all things are possible with God, it is impossible that this is healed as if it never happened, I pray in Your Name that I can now lift my arm all the way over my head with no pain. I will tell others You did this if You do this." I then started lifting my right arm, all the way over my head and had no pain. That was about 25 years ago, my 90-100% severed rotator cuff tendon was instantly healed by Jesus, as if it was never severed.

My back just got healed!! Something came over me. I was diagnosed with a herniated disk. Praise God. Thank you Jesus!!

Been following Tom Loud for several years and practicing healing since he explained it. I’ve seen miracles! I’m so excited to see him on here as he’s not one to be on a bunch of podcasts!!!

I myself have been healed of knee issues, chronic foot pain, etc just from learning from his videos. I spoke to my dad’s leg and it grew out… praise God! I haven’t even watched the episode yet and I’m so excited!

I prayed over a woman’s eyes and she regained her sight. She was having eye pain and not able to drive. She was putting 16 drops of meds a day and having multiple surgeries. Even I was shocked. I always refer ppl to Tom Loud to learn about healing.

Oh and I’m not a pastor or anyone special. Just another believer in Christ.

These 3 hours passed like 30 min 😮. Although, every episode is very inspiring this one was another level. Thanks for introducing Tom Loud to us 🙏❤️

I am commanding my sister's ovarian cancer to completely disappear! I listened to half of this video yesterday before I spent the day with her and at the end of the day prayed with her for her healing.. but I didn't have the confidence or the trust yet to command healing. It feels so presumptuous.. but seriously! We're children of the King of the universe! What's more presumptuous than that?! I am now commanding that cancer to be gone!! I'm remembering how Jesus could not do many miracles in his hometown because of their unbelief.. I do believe Lord, help my unbelief. Thank you Father! Thank you Jesus! Thank you Holy Spirit! ❤️❤️👐👐👐

This is why we need to be discipling young believers in the faith, to know who they are in Christ, what they have in Christ, the Spirit we received and at work in us, what we have in Christ and do the things he said we can do.

My mother's thumb was hurting her and she asked me to pray. I placed my hands close to her thumb, said the Lord's Prayer and asked for healing. Immediately i saw the tip of her thumb move very rapidly in a circular motion. When it stopped, she was healed.....always give thanks to God for His blessing

I love this… you cannot hear these stories and not feel the Holy Spirit pushing you go out and do the things that Jesus did. Lord, give us the courage to walk in the authority that we have in you.
