Jesus Bore Our Suffering
Several prophetic verses about Jesus’ suffering and death remind us that He bore our infirmities on the cross. For example:
- “When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and *healed all that were sick: That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses.*” (Matthew 8:16-17 KJV)
- “But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes *we are healed.”* (Isaiah 53:5 KJV)
Because Jesus bore our sickness and pains on the cross, we can call on His name for healing from allergies.
Healing Promises
Several verses contain specific promises of healing for God’s people. For example:
- “And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the Lord thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, *I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the Lord that healeth thee.*” (Exodus 15:26 KJV)

These promises can give us confidence that God desires to heal us and has the power to take allergies and other diseases away.
Prayer Against Allergies
In addition to claiming Bible verses about healing, we can also pray against allergies. Here is an example prayer against allergies, based on Scripture:
“Lord Jesus, you took my infirmities and bore my diseases on the cross. By your stripes, I am healed! I declare your healing power over my body and reject this spirit of allergy and affliction. Please restore my health, take sickness away from me, and heal me completely, in Jesus’ name, Amen!”
Pray Scripture
One powerful way to pray against allergies is to pray the Scriptures. Take healing promises from the Bible and turn them into first-person declarations. For example:
- “Lord, you said in Exodus 15:26 that you are the Lord who heals me. I declare that you are healing me from these allergies right now. I align my body with your healing power.”
- “Jesus, you said by your stripes I am healed in 1 Peter 2:24. I declare your stripes over my body right now, bringing complete healing and restoration.”
Speak God’s Word in faith over your situation to release His healing power.
Ask Others to Pray
In addition to praying yourself, ask other believers to join their faith with yours:
- “Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.” (James 5:14-15 KJV)
Recruit prayer warriors from your church to stand in agreement with you for healing. The combined prayer of faith can be powerful.
Allergic Reaction
In severe cases, allergies can trigger dangerous allergic reactions like anaphylaxis. Even then, Scripture promises God’s protection.
Protection Promises
Several verses promise God’s protection from harm and danger:
- “He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust…He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.” (Psalm 91:1-2, 4 KJV)
- “The name of the Lord is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.” (Proverbs 18:10 KJV)
- “Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” (John 14:27 KJV)
In an allergic reaction, pray these promises for God’s protection, safety, and peace.
Speak Healing
Even in severe reactions, continue to speak God’s healing promises:
- “By His stripes I am healed!”
- “Jesus took this allergy so I don’t have to.”
- “This reaction has to submit to the healing power of Jesus Christ right now.”
Your words of faith can help establish God’s will on earth as it is in heaven.

Healing Scriptures for Asthma
In addition to general healing promises, the Bible has special relevance for respiratory conditions like asthma.
Breathe Scripture
In an asthma attack, focus on Bible verses about breathing, air, and wind:
- “All the while my breath is in me, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils…” (Job 27:3 KJV) Speak this verse slowly while taking slow deep breaths.
- “The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.” (John 3:8 KJV) Picture the wind of the Holy Spirit opening up your airways.
- “And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost” (John 20:22 KJV). Imagine Jesus breathing His healing breath into your lungs.
Speak these verses over yourself through pursed lips to calm breathing.
Call on Divine Breath
The Bible records God breathing life into humans. Call on that same breath to heal asthma:
- “And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and *breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.”* (Genesis 2:7 KJV)
- “Come from the four winds, O breath; and breathe upon these slain, that they may live.” (Ezekiel 37:9 KJV)
Ask God to breathe His healing breath and life into your lungs.
Lay Hands on the Sick
The Bible instructs believers to lay hands on the sick and pray for healing. Practicing this can strengthen faith and bring healing for allergies.
Scriptural Basis
The Bible gives several examples of healing through laying on of hands:
- “Now when the sun was setting, all they that had any sick with divers diseases brought them unto him; and he laid his hands on every one of them, and healed them.” (Luke 4:40 KJV)
- “And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease.” (Matthew 10:1 KJV)
Based on these examples, believers can lay hands on the sick today.
Practical Application
When laying hands on the sick:
- Have them vocalize what condition (e.g. allergies) they want prayer for
- Place one or both hands gently on their shoulder/back/head
- Offer a prayer asking Jesus to heal them and rebuke the sickness
- Anoint them with oil if desired
- Thank God for working in their body
The physical touch connects your faith for the increased manifestation of healing.
