Don't use your words to hold you in bondage, but use your words to free you from them. The Bible tells you that "You are snared by the words of your mouth." Your words can keep you in a situation or condition or can free you from them. In my own case years ago I was eating bananas just fine, but this one time I ate one and got sick to my stomach. And for awhile everytime someone offered me something with bananas in them I was quick to say, "I can't eat them" or "They make me sick to my stomach." And sure enough from that time on if I just took a few bites of a banana I got sick to my stomach. But, one day I was watching TV and the man preaching was preaching on- The power of positive confession. And he described me perfectly when he said, "You probably ate something one time and got sick and started confessing that you can't eat it." So, what did I do I changed my words. I started confessing that I can eat bananas and after awhile of confessing that one day I was led to eat one so I did, then I had another one and sure enough I could eat them again and I still can. Notice, I was keeping myself in bondage by my own words. Proverbs 18:21 says, "Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and those that love it shall eat the fruit thereof." I was not able to eat the fruit of bananas because I was eating the fruit of my lips.
I've had a sickness changed by confessing God's word. I had a serious condition that needed healing and again thank God I came across a teaching that led to me receiving my healing. He was teaching on using God's word as medicine as in Proverbs 4:20-22 and God's word being seed that you plant and water by speaking it as in 1Corinthians 3:6-8. So, daily I would do just as those scriptures said, I would look at the word with my eyes and keep it in my ears by confessing it. I didn't fully understand what I was doing but I was determined to just do it and after awhile of confessing God's healing that condition was gone. So, you don't have to just put up with things as they are you can take the word of God and change them.

Get Your Healing
There are two things to receiving healing or anything from God, but I'm going to focus on healing. The first thing is what you allow to be planted or deposited into your heart(spirit). This is very important that's why God said, "Keep your heart with all diligence." Notice you are the one to keep your heart not God, your heart is your responsibility. And notice the second part of that scripture, "For out of it are the issues of life" (Proverbs 4:23). So, things are happening on the outside because of what has been deposited on the inside. And to receive from God the right deposit has to be made first. You can't receive from God without having the right deposit. Notice, in Mark 6:5-6 it says that Jesus could do no mighty work, why? Because of there unbelief(lack of deposit). Notice what he did next, went round about the villages, teaching or depositing. Notice Jesus always taught and preached first before he healed.
You remember in Mark chapter 1 when that leper came to Jesus and said, "If thou wilt, thou canst make me clean" and Jesus put forth his hand and touched him (and nothing happened), because the man still had a question within himself. But, as soon as Jesus answered that question, "I will" now he is in a position to receive, because the deposit has been made. And as soon as Jesus spoke, "Be thou clean" immediately the leprosy departed and he was clean. How about the two blind men that came to Jesus in Matthew chapter 9, the first thing he asked them was do you believe I am able to do this (has the right deposit been made). And he touched their eyes and said, "According to your faith(what's been deposited) be it unto you." And their eyes where opened. Notice back in our original scripture Proverbs 4 in verse 21 God tells you to keep his word in the midst of your heart. Because God knows the deposit that's made determines what is received.
The other thing to receiving healing is the words of your mouth. The books of Proverbs and James has a lot to say about the power of your words over your body. Proverbs 12:18 says, "The tongue of the wise is health." That word health is translated as medicine, remedy, cure. Healing by the words of your mouth when your words are in line with God's word. Proverbs 4:22 says, God's word is life to those that find them and health to all their flesh. Proverbs 16:24 says, "Pleasant words are as an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones. James 3:4 shows you a wonderful example of the power of your words over your body. James says, "Behold also the ships, which though they be so great, and are driven of fierce winds, yet are they turned about with a very small helm, whithersoever the governor listeth." The revelation is this the storm is your sickness, the boat is your body, your tongue is the rudder, and you are the governor. So, that sickness can only be in charge when your mouth is not speaking against it. Your body goes in the direction of your words. If you look at verse 3 it says, "Behold, we put bits in the horses' mouths, that they may obey us; and we turn about their whole body." Notice the body is turned by the mouth. So, get the deposit of your heart and the words of your mouth together and get your healing.

Loose Your Faith For Your Healing
One of the basic tips if you are looking to receive your healing is to loose your faith for your healing. For instance, in Mark 5 it says that there was a woman with an issue of blood for twelve years. She went to many doctors and spent all that she had and was nothing better, but grew worse. But, she heard about Jesus and she came in the press behind and touched his garment. But, before she touched notice she said, "If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole." And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up. And Jesus told her that her faith made her whole.
Notice, first she had to hear, because faith comes by hearing (Romans 10:17). And it was that faith she loosed when she said, "If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole." And that's where a lot of people miss it they don't hear the word. And it was because of the word she heard that understanding came. For Psalm 119:130 says, "The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple." Notice, the word she received she spoke. The word you receive you speak. Look at Matthew 12:34-35, "For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things."
Notice when the word is in your heart(spirit) you speak it. The word and faith is synonymous for the scripture says the word is the word of faith (Romans 10:8). And that word or faith is the substance of the healing you are looking for (Hebrews 11:1). So, the substance of the healing you want comes out of you. That's why Jesus said that her faith made her whole. It was what she released that caused her to receive. That's just how it works.
Other examples:
Matthew 8:5-8,13
Mark 5:21-23,35-42
Mark 7:24-30 & Matt. 15:21-28
