How do you get saved?  Notice in Romans 10:10 you believe with your heart and confess with your mouth.  So, unless you followed that process you are not saved.  Notice, that word confess means to say the same thing.  So, you have to believe something from the word and say it to be saved.  But, not just saved as in born again because that word saved if you look in the Strong's Concordance means healing, deliverance, preservation, do well.  Notice, all those things are connected to your mouth(words).  And The Bible shows that for Proverbs 12:6&18 says, "The mouth of the upright shall deliver them" and "The tongue of the wise is health(healing)."  And Proverbs 14:3 says, "The lips of the wise shall preserve them."  All those things are tied to your words so your words are very important.  Especially when they are in line with God's word.

Your words are suppose to be doing something and they will be either for you or against you.  Jesus said you will give account for every idle word you speak in the day of judgment.  For by your words you will be justified or condemned (Matt. 12:36,37).   That word idle is tranlated non working.  So, your words are suppose to be working.  Whether you know it or not your words are producing in your life either for good or bad.  Proverbs 18:21 says, "Death and life are in the power of the tongue:  and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof."  Notice, there's fruit that comes by the words of your mouth.  Now, I see why God told Joshua, "This book of the law shall not depart out of your mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success."  All those that label things prosperity gospel did you notice God gave him the instructions on how to prosper.  So, if God tells you how to prosper why is it such a dirty word.  Especially when the word says God has pleasure in the prosperity of his servants (Psalm 35:27).  You don't have to look far to know it's God's will when in the very first book of the Bible in the very first chapter when God made man He blessed him to prosper.

Well back to Joshua, doesn't that agree with Proverbs 18:21  that says you will eat the fruit of your lips.  His words(by God's words) was making his way prosperous.  After all God says, "I create the fruit of the lips."  Well, it's his word that's doing the producing like He said in Isaiah 55:11, My word shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.  How does God's word get returned to him when you speak it.  In fact, the Bible speaks of those that don't speak the word, "If they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them."  Because Psalm 119:130 says, "The entrance of thy word giveth light."  And Jesus said, "But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart", so you speak according to what is in you.  So, according to the scriptures people that are against speaking the word it's because the word is not in them.  But, the word is meant to be spoken.

Speaking The Word Brings Increase

Speaking the word of God brings increase in every area of your life.  When you understand the process God has supplied you with to receive whatever you may need in this life you will have a greater appreciation of the word of God.  2Peter 1:3 says, God has given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness.  How has God given us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, by his word.  The process of receiving what God has given us by his word is found in Mark 4:26-28 it operates on the principle of sowing and reaping.  Your spirit is the soil, in the parable of the sower in Mark 4 in verse 15 it says the word is sown in the heart/spirit.  The word of God is the seed.  And the word of God is also the water by which you water the seed.  In 1Corinthians 3:6,7 notice it says, "I have planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the increase."  So, hearing the word is both planting and watering.  The first time you hear is planting and all other times is watering.

Notice what God told Joshua in Joshua 1:8, "This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that though mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein:  for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success."  Notice how you have success and make your way prosperous, by keeping the word in your mouth.  Need healing plant and water the seed of God's word for your healing.  Proverbs 4:20-23 says, "My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear(including your mouth) unto my sayings.  Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart.  For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh.  Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life."  That word health is translated as medicine, remedy, cure.  See the process, incline thine ear(which would have to include your mouth), let them not depart from thine eyes, keep them in the midst of thine heart-in other words plant and water the seed.  For the healing you need is in the seed.  Every seed has the fruit of itself in it.

So, when you see what God has said about your healing you speak(plant) that.  Now, I know people have a lot of negative things to say about speaking the word, but the word speaks of those that don't believe in speaking the word.  In Isaiah 8:20 it says, "If they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them."  So, God expects you to speak the word.  For it is the water which makes the seed yield it's fruit.  In Isaiah 55:10,11 God says, "For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and  maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:  So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth:  it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it."

In 1Corinthians 3:9 it says, "You are God's husbandry", that word husbandry means farm.  God wants his seeds planted in your spirit.  God wants you to reap a harvest of success, prosperity, healing, but you have to follow the process.  As in Hebrews 10:23, "Let us hold fast the profession(confession) of our faith without wavering."  See, when you believe the word you can't help but speak it.  As 1Corinthians 4:13 says, "We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed , and therefore have I spoken; we also believe and therefore speak."  The thing you need is in the seed and you bring it forth.  You as God's farm causes the seed to yield it's fruit.  When the word is in you and you speak it forth it comes out and becomes the thing you need.  In other words it becomes like Jesus the word made flesh.  Like Jesus said in Luke 6:45, "A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil:  for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh."

And let me just tell you the process does work in the area of healing, I know it worked for me.  When I found out about the process I put it into action.  When something hit my body I went and found out what God said and all through the day I kept it in my ears(by my mouth), I kept it in my eyes, and I kept it in the midst of my heart(spirit).  And in a matter of time I reaped my harvest of healing.  Just like it worked for me it will work for you.  Let's just look at the characteristics of a seed-1. A seed does not discriminate, it works the same for anyone.  2.  A seed has the inherant ability to produce something.  3.  Every seed has the fruit of itself in it, in other words a rose seed has roses in it, an apple seed has apples in it.  And God's word being seed has to have the fruit of itself in it.  And the seed let's you know what is in it.  God's word of healing is healing seed and therefore has the fruit of healing in it.  So when you follow the process you put the ability of the seed to work.  And the seed is powerful.  Now think about this for a moment, in the natural God put his power in seed form.  In Genesis 1 it says that God said, "Let the earth bring forth ..... and all the trees, grass, and herbs came forth.  But, now God doesn't have to say let the earth bring forth you just take the seed and put it in the ground and the thing in a matter of time will come forth.  Well, that's the same thing He did in the spiritual, his word is spiritual seed and according to Romans 1:16 the word of God is the power of God. 

You have to speak in line with God's word if you want to see God's word manifested in your life.  In Isaiah 53:5 it says, "The chastisement of our peace was upon him and with his stripes we are healed."  1Peter 2:24 says, "By whose stripes ye were healed."  Galatians 3:13 says, "Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law."  Notice in Romans 10:10 it says, "With the mouth confession is made unto salvation."  There are 2 key words in that verse one is confession which means to say the same thing and the other word is salvation which is translated as healing, deliverance, preservation, soundness.  So, what you say is important.  All of those things come by what you say.  And the Bible tells you that, Proverbs 12:6 says, "The mouth of the upright shall deliver them", Proverbs 14:3 says, "The lips of the wise shall preserve them, Proverbs 12:18 says, "The tongue of the wise is health(medicine)."  So, what you receive from God is going to be in line with what you speak.
