Why Speak God's Word

Joshua 1:8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy 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.   Why speak the word?

Jesus picks this up in the new testament in Mark chapter 4 in the parable of the sower where he says in verse 3 "Hearken; Behold, there went out a sower to sow." And in verse 14 he tells us what the seed is where he says,  "The sower soweth the word".  And he tells us where the seed is sown in verse 15 where he says,  "Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts", that's the soil. 

 So, you have seed, you have soil now how about water because every seed needs water.  In Ephesians 5:26 it says,  "That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word", it's also the water. 

 So, each time you speak the word you are operating in a divine principle.  You are planting and watering seed.  Because hearing is planting and watering.   1Corinthians 3:6,7 says, "I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase." "So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase."  God gives the increase to the seed that is planted and watered not just planted.

Notice, in Joshua 1:8 He said this book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth, see it's not enough just for the seed to be planted, it also has to be watered. 

 And as a result of you planting and watering you will make your way prosperous, things are going to start showing up.  Lets establish something, there is one reason why you plant and water a seed because at some point I am suppose to see what I planted.

And God has established that that is how it will always be in Genesis 8:22  While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.

Jesus keeps teaching this principle in Mark 4:26-28 where he said,  So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground; 27 And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how.  28 For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear.

 And according to Jesus the kingdom is inside of God's people, Luke 17:21   Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.

And this kingdom is now capable of supplying your needs.  Notice, in Matthew 6:30-33 30 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? 

31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?

 32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. 

33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

Notice, he said take no thought saying, don't sow seeds about your circumstances, seek ye first the kingdom of God; you get a word of God as Matthew 13:19 calls it the word of the kingdom and you sow that.  

Because what you sow is what you get more of.  You can't sow/speak the problem and expect the answer to show up.  And sometimes people say they believing God for something and that's good, but what seed have you sown.  People looking for fruit, but haven't sown any seed. 

But, it's what you put in you that determines what will come out of you, 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. 

So, your words are an indication of what's in you, so it shouldn't be a mystery why something showed up when you were looking for something else, just listen to what's coming out of your mouth.

You see this same principle concerning healing in Proverbs 4:20-22 My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. 

 21 Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. 

 22 For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh. 

 All of those are instructions for you to plant and water the seeds of God's word.  The word life is translated- to revive, to nourish up, and to restore life to. 

 And the word health in Hebrew in that verse is the word marpe translated- medicine, remedy, healing, and cure.  

So, when I plant and water God's word of life and health I can expect to reap life and health.  You can't speak/sow sickness and reap healing.  You may want healing, but you get what you sow not what you want.  

You might want roses, but if all you sow is tulip seeds  what are you going to get, tulips.  Everyone understands that in the natural.  Well, it's the same way it works in the spiritual. 

 In Genesis 17:4 the Lord appeared to Abram and told him, "Thou shalt be a father of many nations" (that's a seed) and in verse 16 God told him that his wife would be "A mother of nations", but in Romans 4:19 it says,  And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sarah's womb. 

 So, when God told him that his body was dead and her womb was dead and two dead bodies can't have a child physically.  So, what did God do He changed their names to fit his promise from Abram-high father to Abraham-father of a multitude and from Saria-my princess to Sarah-Princess of a nations.  

Their names where seeds and by the planting and watering of the seeds the conditions of their bodies changed.  Both of their bodies were dead so where did the life come from, the word or the seed. 

 Where can your healing come from the word or the seed.  Years prior God told him that his descendants would be like the stars in the sky and the sand of the shores, but nothing happened for years.  Until God got them to plant and water the  seeds.

You see the same thing in Acts 14:7-10  And there they preached the gospel.  

8 And there sat a certain man at Lystra, impotent in his feet, being a cripple from his mother's womb, who never had walked:  

9 The same heard Paul speak: who stedfastly beholding him, and perceiving that he had faith to be healed, 

10 Said with a loud voice, Stand upright on thy feet. And he leaped and walked.

Notice, no one prayed for the man, no one laid hands on the man, no one called on the name of the Lord, just him and the word.  While he was hearing Paul preach seed was being planted and watered and the word found good ground and produced.  That can still happen. 

* The word comes with the anointing and when the word/seed comes in contact with your spirit/soil the anointing in it is released.  And when the anointing is released it will remove the burden and destroy the yoke. 

Example: the woman with the issue of blood, when she heard about Jesus she came in the press behind and touched his garment.  And when she did power flowed out of him and she was healed.  

Well, who was Jesus?  He was the flesh and blood anointed word of God.  And long before then God had established in Malichi 4:2, that the Sun of righteousness(Jesus) shall arise with healing in his wings(referring to his garment).  

So, what she did with the flesh and blood word you can do with the word.  That's why Paul says in Romans 10:6-8  But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:)  

7 Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.) 

 8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach.

You know somebody might say, "If only Jesus was here."  Jesus don't have to come back for somebody to receive healing, the word is nigh thee (in your mouth first then in your heart). 

Jesus is not coming back for someone to touch his garment, but you can plant that word in your heart.  And the word will do the same as the flesh and blood word, release the anointing. 

God has established once again where healing is, in the word.  John 1:1 says, In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.  So, God and his word are one.  

Well, God is Jehovah-Rapha The Lord our healer, and what does He heal with (He sent his word and healed them and delivered them from there destructions Psalm 107:20).  

So, when the word on healing is in your mouth-medicine is in your mouth, healing is in your mouth, your answer is in your mouth.  And if you keep it in your mouth it will get in your heart and produce fruit after it's kind.

This is a golden nugget:  The word at work in your heart will defeat any sickness at work in your flesh.

Notice, in Proverbs 4 all that is instructions for us to follow because He has already made the provision.  All that is a prescription for our healing, it's up to us to follow it.  

Get this, the word is seed and seed is not for God to do something.  Seed is for you to receive something.  Just by you having a seed of something is proof that God has already done something because you can't have a seed unless the fruit was first. 

 And not only that, but the fruit or the thing is in the seed.  And the only way to get out of a seed what is in it is to plant and water it.  

In Isaiah 55:10 it says, "God gives seed to the sower", which let's me know he's not the sower.  He supplies the seed, but it's mankind that has to sow it.  God is not responsible for seed not sown or word not spoken.  Man has to do his part.

How did all this come about, because in the beginning when God made man in Genesis 1:28 it says, And God blessed them saying "Be fruitful".  That word fruitful mean - to bring forth.  

If you notice in Proverbs 4:23 God instructs us to guard our heart with all diligence.  Because, He knows how man is made if some word get in your heart and you continue to water it that word will be seen in your life. 

If what's in your heart gets in your mouth it will come forth  into your life, that's what Jesus said in Luke 6:45. 

*Closing point-Adam in the garden, God told him not to eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil because if he did he would die.  

But, he choose to do his own thing, he rejected God's knowledge for his own and brought death upon all of mankind.  

Another golden nugget.  Proverbs 15:4 says, A wholesome tongue is a tree of life.  That word wholesome is the same word marpe in Proverbs 4:22 referring to God's word.  So, everytime you choose to speak your own words you are choosing the tree of the knowledge of good and evil and each time you choose to speak God's word you are choosing the tree of life.

 And Proverbs 18:21 says, Death and life are in the power of the tongue and they that love it will eat the fruit thereof.  You will eat the fruit of whatever tree you choose.  *We didn't have a choice in the garden, but we do now.  

My last word to leave with you, remember, "It's not what you want it's what you sow that counts."

 

Knowledge 2

 Hosoa 4:6  My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge

Isa. 5:13- Therefore my people are gone into captivity, because they have no knowledge

Now here's the upside

Proverbs 11:9- An hypocrite with his mouth destroyeth his neighbour: but through knowledge shall the just be delivered.

John 8:32- And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

Notice, notice how God equates bondage or freedom even destruction with knowledge.  Which lets me know that it's not the situations of life that defeats you it's your lack of knowledge. 

 The kind of knowledge you have is important because it will determine how you live (Rom. 8:5-8).  5 For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.  6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.  7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.  8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.

 Your knowledge will determine whether you live a carnal life or a spiritual life.  

But, first understand where your knowledge is coming from and what it is based on.  In Genesis 3 we see the fall of man, the fall of man includes a fall in knowledge (Genesis 3:6-11).  

6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.  7 And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.  8 And they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God amongst the trees of the garden.  9 And the Lord God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou? 10 And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.  11 And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?

 Notice, in verse 11 God asked Adam, "who told thee that thou wast naked?"  That seems like a strange question to ask somebody because he doesn't need anyone to tell him, he can see it. 

 But, notice in verse 7 after they ate of that fruit it says, "And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked".  So, obviously they were informed on a spiritual level because their physical eyes were already opened because they saw the tree.

  And God told Adam what would happen if he did eat from that tree.  They rejected God's knowledge for their own sense knowledge.  Verse 6 When she saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes notice it's all based on the senses.  But, the scripture says, For we walk by faith and not by sight(senses)  well faith is of the spirit.

So, man fell from being informed on a spiritual level by God to being informed by his senses.  But, if you are going to walk by faith you are going to have to be informed on a spiritual level.  And that's where God wants to restore man to. 

 The level of revelation and not just information.  What's the difference information comes through the senses and revelation comes through the spirit.  Proverbs 20:27 says,  The spirit of man is the candle of the Lord, searching all the inward parts of the belly. 

 1Corinthians 2:9,10 says, 9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.  10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. 

 So, if you are going to walk in the things of God they have to be revealed to you.  Look at verse 14 God tells us clearly, 14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.  Natural knowledge doesn't receive the things of God that's why the mind has to be renewed.  That's what Romans 8 is talking about being spiritually minded.

What is revelation, to reveal means - to pull the cover off.  God shows you a spiritual truth.  Revelation is not showing you something that God is going to do, it shows you what is done.  Because to pull the cover off, something has to be there. 

 That's what 2 Corinthians 4:18 is talking about when it says, While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.  You can't look at something if it's not there, so it's something that is presently in the spirit.  And what is in the spirit is just as real if not more real than your present natural circumstance.   

How do I know that 1 Corinthians 1:26-28 26 For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called:  27 But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;  28 And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are:

Notice God's principle things which are not (manifested) bring to nought things that are (manifested).  That's those things in 2 Corinthians 4:18 those  things not seen.  So, which one is more real.

Notice, in Romans 4:17 it says,   (As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.   Talking about Abraham in Genesis 17:4,5.

When God told him, "No longer shall thy name be called Abram, but Abraham for a father of many nations have I made thee, God was not informing him of the flesh because Romans 4:19 says his body was dead, so He was not informing him of this natuaral/physical level. 

 He was informing him on the level of the spiritual.  God wants to inform man of a higher level than the flesh that's were he fell to.  So likewise, when the scripture says, "By whose stripes ye were healed", He's not informing you of the level of the flesh. 

 We (mankind) only see healing as once the pain is gone and everything is cleared up now I'm healed.  But, God sees it on a higher level, notice when God told Abraham-  "For a father of many nations have I made thee" his body was dead. 

 So, for God to say, "I have made thee a father of many nations" would have to include I've done something about your body because a person with a dead body can not be a father of many nations physically. 

 Notice, even though God did something (spiritually) it had no effect on him (physically).  It had no effect on him physically until Abraham put it in his mouth, because Abraham means-father of a great multitude.  

See, even though God does something in the spirit for it to legally come into the earth realm it has to come through a man.  Because, He gave man dominiom, He said-"Let them have dominion". 

 And He can't take it back Psalm 89:34- My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.  And Psalm 115:16 says, The heaven, even the heavens, are the LORD'S: but the earth hath he given to the children of men. 

 And sometimes people think that just because it's in The Bible it's just going to happen.  No, the things God has done in the spirit has to be loosed, called for, authorized.

Look at what Jesus told Peter in the amplified -Amplified Bible

I will give you the keys (authority) of the kingdom of heaven; and whatever you bind [forbid, declare to be improper and unlawful] on earth will have [already] been bound in heaven, and whatever you loose [permit, declare lawful] on earth will have [already] been loosed in heaven.”

Notice, what's bound in heaven has no effect in the earth until someone in the earth with the authority binds it in the earth and what's loosed in heaven has no effect in the earth until someone in the earth with the authority looses it in the earth.   

So, one of the main things a child of God needs to know is the authority God has invested in his or her mouth.  If you don't know you have authority then you'll just talk any old way.  But, a person with authority can't afford to talk any old way because when a person with authority speaks, things go into action in the natural and in the spirit. 

 And man needs to know how to co-operate with God.  And one of the main ways you co-operate with God is to speak in agreement with him.  Amos 3:3-Can two walk together, except they be agreed? 

 And in the scriptures agreement in speech with God is called confession-which means to say the same thing.  That's why the scripture talks about in Romans 10:10 with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 

 Now, don't think that word salvation is just referring to being born again, no.  That word salvation in greek is the word soteria or sozo which means healing, deliverance, protection, wholeness.  So, you are going to have to know how to talk right.  

Because, your talk will determine your walk-Joshua 1:8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy 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.

And it's important that you agree with God because He has already declared in Romans 3:3,4-For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect? God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.  

So, if he's saying one thing and you are saying something else then you are not speaking the truth.  A liar in that scripture mean to utter an untruth.  You might be speaking fact, but not truth.  

 Fact is basically something that exists, or is present in reality. Hence, these are things that can be seen visually, and these are the things that can actually be verified.  It is not just something that you believe, but rather these are more or less the things that can be observed empirically, or by the senses. So, facts can be seen and heard, as well as proven by the other senses.  So, facts are dependant on the senses and limited to the senses.

Truth can be described as the true state of a certain matter, you may not be able to detect the truth with you senses, but it's still truth.  We have to get out of judging things simply by the flesh, because there's more than just the flesh. 

 And if you are only flesh minded then you are going to be limited.  And those in the flesh can not please God.  In  John 17:17  Jesus said, God's word is truth so we have a way of distinquishing between fact and truth. 

 And Jesus said in John 8:31,32-Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

So, you can't walk with God with just natural knowledge , you're going to have to come up.

Another reason why God's needs you to come up in knowledge is because of What He said back in Genesis.

Genesis 1:26-28

26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

Notice, God blessed them saying, "Be fruitful", fruitful means to bring forth.  He's not just talking about having babies because man is spirit and flesh.   Man (spirit man) is capable of bringing forth things out of his spirit.

Jesus taught this principle 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.

What is your treasure, whatever has been deposited in you. Whatever knowledge you allowed to be deposited in you that's your treasure and if what's in your heart gets in your mouth it will come forth into your life. 

And you see that in Mark 5 with the woman with the issue of blood.

25 And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years,

26 And had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse,

27 When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched his garment.

28 For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole.

29 And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague.

30 And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him, turned him about in the press, and said, Who touched my clothes?

31 And his disciples said unto him, Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?

32 And he looked round about to see her that had done this thing.

33 But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth.

34 And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague.

Notice,  she heard about Jesus so she got some knowledge and the knowledge she allowed to be deposited when it got in her mouth she brought it forth into her life, how, for she said...  .  And when she said she brought that forth.

Notice, Jesus turned to see her that had done this thing.  What thing did she do she brought what was on the inside to the outside.  But, notice it all started with knowledge. 

By your knowledge you will either be held captive or set free.  Let God inform you on a higher level so that you can live on a higher level.

The Word Of God Can Heal You

By Jesus Stripes You Are Healed

Plant Your Healing

God Has Changed Your Diagnosis

  What do I mean God has changed your diagnosis?  In Genesis 17:4,5 God told Abraham that He had made him a father of many nations, but in Romans 4:19 the scripture says that his body was dead and his wife's womb was dead.  Now, we know you can't physically be a father of many nations when you have a dead body and your wife's womb is dead.  Despite that God said He had made him a father of many nations which means that God had to have done something about his and her bodies.  Now, here's what you need to understand, God did not physically make him a father of many nations, but that's what he was in the spirit.  Don't make the mistake of thinking of the spirit realm as less real than the physical realm.  The spirit realm was first and the physical realm came out of the spirit realm.  So, without the spirit realm there would be no physical realm.  Now, when God does something in the spirit it has the ability to be manifested physically.  Take God himself for example, John 4:24 says that God is a spirit and yet 1 Timothy 3:16 says that God(who is spirit) was manifested in the flesh(physical).  Notice, what the word calls Jesus in John 1:14 the word(spirit) made flesh(physical).

Notice, even though God did something in the spirit it had no affect on him nor his wife physically because his body was still dead and her womb was still dead.  Because when God does something for you in the spirit it's up to you to receive it by faith.  But, what people do a lot of times is wait for God to do it physically.  They wait until their senses can detect something before they believe God has done something.  Notice, they had nothing in the natural to tell them that God had done something.  That's why when it's by faith you don't look to your body to tell you if God has done something but, the word.  The word tells you what God has done not your body.  Your body can tell you when you have received something not if God has done something.  Notice, in Romans 4:19 it says that Abraham did not consider the deadness of his body nor the deadness of Sarah's womb.  He didn't put his focus on this physical realm.  That's  what the word says in 2 Corinthians 4:17,18 17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;

18 While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.  Notice, in verse 18 while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen so even though it's not seen(spiritual) he still calls it a thing which means it exists.

Notice, what God did He changed their names to fit what He promised for Abraham means-father of a multitude and Sarah means-Princess of nations.  It's very important that you line your words with God's word even when things don't look like it.  Romans 4:17 speaks of God calls things that be not as though they were.  God call things that are not(manifested) as though they were(manifested).  And that's what He is having them to do because physically they were not that.  Just like in Joel 3:10 the scripture says, Let the weak say I am strong.  Notice, God knows you may be weak physically, but He says don't speak that say I am strong.  Well, the scripture says that the Lord is our strength and we know there is no weakness in God.  Notice, what God is doing trying to get people to stop speaking natural facts and start speaking spiritual truth.  Because, God works with your words so that makes your words very important.  In Numbers 14:1-4 when the people murmured against Moses and Aaron notice God's response, He told the people that as you have spoken in my ears so will I do unto you.  In Titus 1:3 it says that God manifests his word through preaching.  That word preaching means to proclaim or speak out.  Well, that's in line with what He says in Isaiah 57:19, I create the fruit of the lips.  And in Proverbs 18:21 it says, Death and life are in the power of the tongue and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.  So, your words are very important in receiving from God.

In 1 Corinthians 1:28 it says that God hath chosen to use things which are not to bring to nought(nothing) things that are.  God uses things which are not(manifested) that's spiritual things to bring to nothing things that are (manifested)that's physical things.  God uses spiritual things to get rid of physical things by your words.  Remember Abraham and Sarah they had to speak in line with what God said.  Remember Joel 3:10 they were told to speak in line with what the word says.  And it's important that you speak in line with what the word says and not present circumstances.  God used "A father of many nations have I made thee" to get rid of the deadness in his body by his words.  God used what the word says that God is our strength to get rid of weakness by their words.  Because, in Isaiah 55:11 God says that his word shall not return to him void(without producing), but shall accomplish that which He pleases.  His word returns to him by you speaking it and He tells you in Hebrews 10:23 to hold fast to your confession of faith.  That word confession means to say the same thing so you are to hold fast to saying the same thing as God in faith because God is faithful.  Hold fast to your confession that with his stripes I am healed (Isaiah 53:5).   Hold fast to your confession of faith that himself took my infirmities and bore my sicknesses (Matt. 8:17).  Hold fast to your confession of faith that by his stripes I was healed (1 Peter 2:24).  Hold fast to your confession of faith that Christ has redeemed me from the curse of the law (Galatians 3:13).  That is done in the spirit right now.  And God will use those things to get rid of your condition by your words.  I am a first hand witness, when sickness attacked my body I held fast to my confession of faith and in a matter of time God manifested his word, He used what the word says about my healing to bring to nought what was going on in my body and I am still free all thanks be to God.

It is not God's will that any should perish (2 Peter 3:9).  And I wouldn't want to end this article without giving someone the opportunity to receive Jesus as their Lord and Savior.  It's very easy just pray:  Dear God- I know I have sinned and I now turn from them and I invite Jesus to come into my heart (Revelation 3:20).  He died for my sins and you have raised him from the dead and I now confess that Jesus is my Lord and Savior (Romans 10:9,10).  I thank you for saving me, Amen  

Healing From Your Spirit To Your Flesh

 In dealing with healing it's easy to get focused on what's happening in the body, but that's actually the opposite of what The Bible teaches.  Because, actually it's what's going on in your spirit that's most important.  Because, The Bible teaches that you prosper outside according to how you prosper inside. Notice, in 3John 2 it says, Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.  Man is spirit, soul, and body.  You are spirit and you have a soul(inside of your spirit) and you live in a body.

Notice, what Jesus was known for saying, "According to your faith so be it unto you", "As thou hast believed so be it done unto you" or "Your faith has made you whole".  All of those instances referred to healing in the body, but faith is an operation of the inside, the spirit.  As they prospered inside(spirit) they prospered outside(body).  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 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.  Paul says in Romans 10:8, But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach.  First, the word is in your mouth and that word will get in your heart(spirit).

Notice, how God says you make your way prosperous and have good success by the word you keep in your mouth, you do it from the inside out.  Well, Proverbs 4:20-23 says, 20 My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings.  21 Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart.  22 For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh.  23 Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.  That word health is translated medicine, remedy, healing, and cure.  Notice, it says to keep the word in the midst of your heart(inside) and those words can be medicine to your flesh(outside).

Take Abraham and Sarah for example God told Abraham that him and his wife would have a son, but his body was dead and her womb was dead.  So, God changed their names from Abram-high father to Abraham-father of a multitude and from Sarai-my princess to Sarah-princess of the multitude.  God had them to do the Proverbs 4:20-23 process which works from the inside out.  They had to speak the word in and then speak the word out. Jesus said it this way,  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 those are the words that are medicine(healing) to your flesh that work from the inside out.

God's Operation Of Healing

 One thing about receiving your healing from God is knowing how he operates, because when you know how he operates then you can cooperate with him.  And in 1Corinthians 1:28 it tells you, God has chosen things which are not, to bring to nought(nothing) things that are.  When it says things that are not it is not talking about things that don't exist, it's talking about things that are not manifested because if it didn't exist you couldn't call it a thing.  So, God has chosen things that are not manifested (spiritual) to bring to nothing things that are manifested (physical).  God operates at a level that is not detectable by the senses that's why you have to walk by faith and not by sight (senses).  And if you don't know that then you could spend your time waiting on God to do something that's already done.

Notice, in Genesis 17:4,5 it says, 4 As for me, behold, my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of many nations.  5 Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made thee.  And in verse 15 it says, 15 And God said unto Abraham, As for Sarai thy wife, thou shalt not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall her name be.  Abraham means father of a multitude and Sarah means Princess of nations.  Notice, in verse 5 God told Abraham, "For a father of many nations have I made thee."   Now, God told him that while his body was dead and his wife's womb was dead (Romans 4:19).  So, he was not that physically, but he was that in the spirit.  Don't think of the spiritual as not real or less real.  John 4:24  says, God is a spirit and yet God that is a spirit was manifest in the flesh (1Timothy 3:16).  Is God any less real as spirit as when he was manifested. That which is spiritual can be manifested physically by a release of faith.  And the main way you release your faith is by your words.

How was God manifested in the flesh, Isaiah spoke the word God gave him, "Behold, a virgin shall conceive and bear a son."  Now, we know it takes something from a man and a woman to have a child.  Once God spoke that it was done in the spirit.  And in Luke 1 the angel brought that same word to Mary, "Behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son" and Mary said, "Be it unto me according to thy word."  She spoke what she believed, she released her faith for in verse 45 her cousin Elizabeth said, "And blessed is she that believed:  for there shall be a performance of those things that were told her from the Lord."  And notice, in John 1:14 the scripture calls Jesus the word (spiritual) made flesh (physical).

So, when God said, "For a father of many nations have I made thee" that was spiritual and it was up to them to receive that by faith.  Notice, in Romans 4:20 it says that Abraham was strong in faith and Hebrews 11:11 says, that through faith Sara received strength to conceive seed.  Everytime they heard or spoke their names they just didn't hear their names, but also the promise God made them.  That was the purpose of changing their names to get them hearing and speaking in line with the promise.  But, notice God chose what was not manifested(for a father of many nations have I made thee) to bring to nothing what was manifested (Abraham considered not the deadness of his body nor the deadness of Sarah's womb) Romans 4:19.  

Another way God operates is in Romans 4:17, it says God calls things that be not (manifested) as though they were (manifested).  Isn't that what he told Abraham and Sarah to do.  Notice, God's method of operating is to speak it before you see it.  But, the average person wants to see it and then speak it.  Understand God's method, the word calleth is translated to incite by word.  The word incite means to cause to act or occur.  So when you call things that be not as though they were you cause them to occur, you cause them to happen.  So, if you don't want to speak things before you see them you may never see them.  How was God manifested in the flesh, words.  He was spoken of first before he was manifested.  So, when God says 1Peter 2:24, "By whose stripes you were healed" that's how it is in the spirit and you are going to have to speak that even when your body may be totally contrary.  In James 3 it says 2 For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body.  3 Behold, we put bits in the horses' mouths, that they may obey us; and we turn about their whole body.  4 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.  

Your words are very important in receiving healing.  Notice, the connection God makes with the tongue and the body that you bridle your body by controlling your tongue.  Notice, you control the horse's body by it's tongue.  Understand what he is saying in verse 4, the ship is your body, you are the governor (spirit man), and your tongue is the helm it's what controls the ship.  Did you notice even though something is coming against the ship it goes where the governor directs.  Your words are so important that Proverbs talks about your words being health(medicine, healing, remedy, cure) to your flesh.  But, they will only be health to your flesh when they are in line with God's words.  That's why in Hebrews 10:23 it says to hold fast to your confession of faith.  Confession means to say the same thing, so a confession of faith will always be in line with God's word.  Because your faith should always be based of the word of God and not conditions or circumstances.  So, your words are very important, use them wisely.

G

Corona The Blood Has Been Waiting On You

If you are in need of healing, Proverbs 4:20-23 is a powerful scripture that you can use.  Because, it is filled with very powerful and easy to understand truths.  Read, 20 My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings.  21 Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart.  22 For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh.  23 Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.  Proverbs 4:20-23 operates by the principle of planting and watering seed (See the parable of the sower Mark 4).  The only way to get out of a seed what is in it is to plant it.  What you give your eyes and ears to gets into your heart/spirit either faith or fear.  They both come by hearing.  Notice, the words in verse 22 life and health that's what's in the seeds.  The word life is translated-nourish up, restore, quicken(make alive), repair, revive and the word health is translated-medicine, remedy, healing, cure.  That's what's in the seeds.

That word life is referring to the very life that is in God.  Because God and his word are one (John 1:1).    And 1Peter 1:23 says the word is incorruptible(immortal) seed, it lives forever, it can't die.  Your spirit imparts life to your flesh when it leaves your body dies.  God's word is life and when it enters your spirit that life can be imparted to your flesh.  For example Abraham and Sarah Romans 4:19 says his body was dead and his wife Sarah's womb was dead, but God promised they would have a son.  So, God changed their names from Abram-high father to Abraham-father of a multitude and from Saria-Princess to Sarah-Princess of nations.  Notice, God changed their names to fit what He promised.  It was a way of imparting that life to their flesh because they did have a son so their bodies did come alive.  Understand this words play a huge role both spoken and heard.  Words have an affect on you, both heard and spoken.  Proverbs 15:30 says, "And a good report maketh the bones fat."  And Proverbs 12:18 says, "But the tongue of the wise is health(same word).  So, you need to be hearing and speaking God's report, instead of the report of the news broadcast.

When you first hear the word that's planting and each time after that is watering (1Corinthians 3:6,7).  When you give your eyes and ears to the word that's what gets in you.  Notice, in that verse Romans 4:19 it says Abraham considered not the deadness of his body nor the deadness of Sarah's womb.  He only gave his attention to what God promised.  Now, let's see an example of the word being medicine.  In Acts 14:7-10 there is an account of a man that was impotent in his feet, he was cripple from his mother's womb.  But, he heard Paul preach, that was the medicine, and Paul perceived the man had faith to be healed and told him to stand upright on his feet and the man leaped up and walked.  Where did the faith come from, the word.  Where did the healing come from, the word.  That incorruptible seed found good ground and produced a harvest of healing.  Notice, the healing was already in the seed.  The seed comes with the healing.

I recall a while back when God dropped the question in my spirit, "How old are you"?  And He said to think about this everyone that has walked the earth before now, and everyone present on it now, and everyone that will ever be on it was back in the Garden of Eden inside of Eve.  So, likewise He said every healing you will ever need is already in the seed.  I got news for you that includes the Corona Virus.  Isaiah 53:4,5 does not say with Jesus stripes we are healed except for Corona.  Psalm 103:3 doesn't say God heals all our diseases except Corona.  1Peter 2:24 doesn't say by whose stripes you were healed except for Corona.  God saw Corona before it showed up.  And if the blood of Jesus has been shed for it then it has already been dealt with and defeated.  Just like God said, Behold a virgin shall conceive and bare a son.  Do you think God didn't know who it was going to be, of  course He did.  And He spoke that hundreds of years before she was even born.  That word traveled down through time waiting for Mary to show up.  The Blood has been waiting for Corona to show up.  God's seed in your soil can overcome any condition.  God's medicine is greater than any sickness, disease, or virus.  Plant the seed in the soil and water it and reap your harvest of healing.

The Word Will Turn Your Body

God's word causes/makes all contrary things come in line with it.  You see that in Genesis 1 when there was darkness God said, "Light be" and there was light.  Everything God released his word to do everything that was contrary with it came in line with it.  And when God authorizes you to speak something and you speak it beleiving  then everything will line up with it.  God told Abram that he would make him a father of many nations, but notice his body was dead and his wife's womb was dead (Romans 4:19).  So, what did God do he changed their names to Abraham(father of a multitude) and Sarah(Princess of nations).  Notice, their names were changed to match what God said he would do.  And their bodies lined up with it.  Abraham was not weak in faith, but was strong in faith (Romans 4:19,20).

Look at Jesus, he only spoke the word of God and when he released it believing all contrary conditions lined up with it.  When a man couldn't walk Jesus would tell him, "Rise, take up thy bed, and go thy way into thine house" and they did.  A man with a withered hand and Jesus told him, "Stretch forth thine hand" and he did.  When a woman was barren God would send her a word that she would have a child and they did.  God said that a virgin shall conceive and bring forth a son and she did.  All conditions give way to the word of God.  And you have been authorized to speak God's word because the scripture says, "Let us hold fast the profession(confession) of our faith."

James 3 is an excellent chapter that shows you the effect your words have on your body.  Verses 3 and 4 says, "Behold, we put bits in the horses' mouths, that they may obey us; and we turn about their whole body."  "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 govenor listeth."  What are these verses saying, in verse 4 the tongue of the horse is used to control the body, he's showing you the comparison with your tongue.  In verse 5 he's saying you(spirit you) are the governor, your body is the ship because it's how you get around in this physical world.  And the rudder is the tongue.  So, if you want to turn your ship change your words.  And did you notice that no matter how fierce the winds are the ship goes where you guide it.

Isn't that what Abraham and Sarah did when God changed their names.  Notice, God gives you something to say to change your body.  Why, because Romans 1:16 says that the word of God is the power of God.  So, if you hold fast to your confession of faith the power of God will turn your body.  In Proverbs 4: 20-22 it instructs you to keep the word in your eyes, ears, and mouth for it is health to your flesh.  That word health is translated as medicine, healing, remedy, and cure.  The words you speak are vital to the condition of your body.  Psalm 103:5 says, "Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things(words); so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's.  Notice, it didn't say God satisfieth you, no he said your mouth.  He uses the mouth to turn the body.  So, hold fast to your confession of faith.

Receive Your Healing

Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows:  yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
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.

What does God mean with his stripes we are healed.  He means the provision of healing has already been made.  Because, Peter looking back at the cross agrees in 1Peter 2:24.  Peter says, "Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness:  by whose stripes ye were healed."  Now, I don't see any future tense in that, it's spoken in past tense.  Now, don't look to your flesh to tell you whether or not God has done something,  because your flesh is no indication of whether God has done something or not.  Your flesh can only tell you when you have received what God has done.  Don't mistake the manifestation of healing with the act of healing.

In Luke 17 there is an account of ten lepers coming to Jesus for healing.  They cried out, "Jesus, Master, have mercy on us" and Jesus answered them, "Go shew yourselves unto the priests."  The thing about it is you are only suppose to show yourself to the priests after you have evidence of being cleansed for him to pronounce you clean to go back into the camp.  So, what is Jesus doing? He is calling them clean.  He's doing like his father, calling things that be not as though they were (Rom 4:17).  So, in the mind of Jesus once he called them clean his job was done because all he has to do is speak the word (Matt. 8:8).  Now, they could have stood there and waited until they felt something or looked better, but they didn't they acted on the words of Jesus and as they went the healing was manifested.  Notice, their flesh was no indication of whether or not Jesus did something.

In Mark 2:3-12 a man that was sick of the palsy was brought to Jesus for healing, but when Jesus saw him he said to him, "Son, thy sins be forgiven thee."  Which angered the scribes that where sitting there.  But, Jesus went on to say, "But that ye may know that the son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, I say unto thee, arise, and take up they bed, and go thy way into thine house."  Wait a minute, does forgiveness have something to do with healing, absolutely.  God did not separate forgiveness and healing, man did.  And the scriptures shows it, Mark 2 is one example and there are more. Psalm 103:3 says, "Who forgiveth all thine iniquities and healeth all thine diseases."  James 5:15 says, "And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up, and if he has committed any sins, they shall be forgiven him."  1Peter 2:24 says, "Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree(forgiveness) ... by whose stripes ye were healed(healing)."  See that, forgiveness and healing go together and there's more scriptures that shows that.

In Leviticus 16 God introduced the scapegoat offering that when Aaron laid his hands on the head of that goat and confessed the sins of the people then the children of Israel sins would be put on the head of that goat (Lev. 16:20-22).  And according to 1Peter 2:24 Jesus bore our sins in his own body.  He bore the sins of the whole world (John 1:29 1John 2:2).  Notice, the word says Jesus bore our sins and in Isaiah 53:4 it says he bore(same word) our griefs(diseases and sicknesses) and carried our sorrows(pains and anguish).  So, God sees you through the finished works of Jesus that's why God can say that by the stripes of Jesus you were(past tense) healed.  Because, God knows what Jesus has already done for us.  Now, we need to get a better understanding of all Jesus has done for us.

Through the act of Jesus taking our place God looked down through time and whatever was heading for you has already been put on Jesus for him to bare, so it's not God trying to teach you something with sickness.  Because, Jesus has been punished in your place so it is illegal for him to put it on you when Jesus has already taken it/paid the price for you.  And on the subject just think about this for a minute God set the price for our healing (Isa. 53:4,5), sent Jesus to pay the price (1John 2:2), and accepted Jesus blood as payment.  And how could God who is holy and righteous now put it on you or withhold it from you.  For example you go to a store let's say to by a hat and the hat costs $10.00 and you pay the $10.00 they can't withhold the hat from you that is illegal.  They can't accept the payment and keep the product.  When payment is made the product must be released.  God is not keeping healing from you or anyone.     

Hear And Be Healed

When in need of healing there are two things that are very important.  And they are the words you take in and the words you speak out.  In Proverbs 4:20-23 God gives specific instructions to attend to his words, incline your ear unto his sayings, let them not depart from your eyes, keep them in the midst of your heart.  Notice, where it says to keep the word, in your heart.  In Act 14:7-10 it speaks of a man that was impotent in his feet, being a cripple from his mother's womb.  It says this man heard Paul speak and Paul perceived that the man had faith to be healed and called out, "Stand upright on thy feet."  And the man that was a cripple leaped and walked just by hearing the word.  How could that have happened, because in Mark chapter 4 Jesus told a parable of a man that went out to sow seed.  The seed was the word and the ground was the heart(spirit) of man.  Notice, when the seed fell on good ground the seed yielded fruit.  So, while the man was listening seed was being sown in the ground of his spirit.  And the seeds that was sown yielded fruit.

That's why Jesus said, "Take heed what ye hear."  Because when you hear seed is being sown.  And when seed is sown in good ground it will yield fruit.  In Proverbs 4:23 it warns you to guard your heart(spirit) with all diligence for out of it are the issues of life.  Because, the spirit of a man is like soil.  What is sown in it you will have the fruit of it.  So, if you sow the seeds of healing you will have the fruit of healing.  Notice, in Proverbs 15:30 it says that a good report maketh the bones fat(healthy).  What is a good report, it's a report in line with God's word.  Notice, in Isaiah 53:1 it says, "Who hath believed our report?"  You have to believe God's report.  In Numbers 13 Moses sent out 12 spies to spy out the land that God had promised to them and after 40 days they came back to report about the land.  Notice, what 10 of the spies said, they said the cities are walled, the people are great, we are like grasshoppers and the whole congregation lifted up their voice and cried and wept that night.  They accepted in them the report of the 10 spies.  But, notice what the other 2 said Caleb and Joshua, "Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it."  "If the Lord delight in us, then he will bring us into this land, and give it to us: their defence is departed from them, and the Lord is with us: fear them not."  But, the people didn't accept their report they said, "Would God that we have died in the land of Egypt!  or would God that we had died in this wilderness!"  They also said, "And wherefore hath the Lord brought us into this land, to fall by the sword, that our wives and our children should be a prey? were it not better for us to return into Egypt?"  And notice God's response, "As ye have spoken in mine ears, so will I do to you:  Your carcases shall fall in this wilderness; and all that were numbered of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward, which have murmured against me.  Doubtless ye shall not come into the land, concerning which I sware to make you dwell therein, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun."  Notice, had they received Caleb's and Joshua's report they would have possessed the land.  Notice, their words played a big part in what they all received.

And in receiving healing your words play a big part in what you receive.  Notice, in Proverbs 4:22 it says God's word is health to all your flesh.  That word health is translated medicine, remedy, cure, and healing.  And when your words are in line with God's word they will be health to all of your flesh.  Proverbs 12:18 says,"But the tongue(words) of the wise is health."  Proverbs 15:4 says, "A wholesome(healing) tongue is a tree of life."  Proverbs 16:24 says, "Pleasant words are as an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones."  So, what words are you speaking.  Notice, in Joshua 1:8 it says do not let the word of God depart out of your mouth, it should stay in your mouth.  Make his words your words.  Like, Hebrews 10:23 says, "Let us hold fast the profession/confession of our faith without wavering;(for he is faithful that promised).  That word confession means to say the same thing.  Keep hearing and speaking God's report and you will bring forth fruit with patience (Luke 8:15).  What is God's report- Surely he hath borne our griefs(disease,sickness) and carried our sorrows(pain,affliction).  The chastisement of our peace was upon him and with his stripes we are healed (Isaiah 53:4,5).  Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes we were(past tense) healed (1Peter 2:24).  He sent his word and healed them (Psalm 107:20).  Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.  Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases (Psalm 103:1-3).

God's Prescription For Life And Health

When you go to the doctor and they give you a prescription, you go to the CVS  or wherever, stand in line, wait for it, give them your money, and take it just as it says on the label.  And why do you do all that because of what a man said.  Well, God is a physician one of his covenant names is Jehovah Rapha-The Lord our healer. And He has given you a prescription in Proverbs 4:20-23.  It says, My son attend to my words; incline thine ear 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.

Notice he said God's word is life and health to all their flesh.  Let's look at the words life and health- life  is translated as 1. to revive 2. to nourish up 3. restore to life.  And you see that in the life of Abraham and Sarah.  His body was dead and her womb was dead (Romans 4:19).  But, God promised him that he and his wife would have a son.  So, what did God do He changed their names to match his promise; Abraham means-father of a multitude and Sarah means-princess of nations. Why did God do that, because that's the prescription for life.  They would hear that word when their names were called (ears).  They would see that word when they wrote their names (eyes).  They would keep it in their mouth when they told someone their names (mouth).  And by that they would keep that word in the midst of their heart.

And God says if you want to prosper the word has to stay in your mouth (Joshua 1:8).  The word will impart life to your spirit and your spirit will impart that life to your flesh.  Your flesh has no life of itself your spirit imparts life to it.  Proverbs 14:30 says, a sound heart(spirit) is the life of the flesh.  What you allow into your spirit is important because your spirit has the ability to impart life or death to your flesh.  That's why Proverbs 18:14 says, the spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity.  You see that was God's way of having them follow Proverbs 4:20-23.  And by that his body came alive and her womb came alive because they did have a son.  The word works.  But, the word is not only life, but health.

And the word health is translated as medicine, remedy, healing, and cure.  Did you get that? The word is healing to your flesh.  How is that somebody might ask, well let me explain- 1. The word is seed and every seed has it's fruit.  2.  The heart of man or spirit of man is ground.  3.  And by constantly taking in the word in you water the seed.  4.  And the water of the word makes the ground bring forth (Mark 4:14,15; 1Cor. 3:6,7; Isa. 55:10,11).

Nobody has a problem understanding if I plant rose seed in the ground and water them at some point I will see roses.  And that's the same principle God has outlined in Proverbs 4:20-23.  The word is seed and the fruit of that seed is healing.  And the seed of the word planted and watered will produce.  I've heard testimonies of people that has followed that and been healed and I myself have followed that and been healed.  And in Acts 14:7-10 it tells you of a man that was lame, but he heard Paul preach and when the word got in him Paul perceived he had faith to be healed and he said, "Stand up on thy feet" and he stood up.  The word always works.

The Word Will Turn Your Body

God's word causes/makes all contrary things come in line with it.  You see that in Genesis 1 when there was darkness God said, "Light be" and there was light.  Everything God released his word to do everything that was contrary with it came in line with it.  And when God authorizes you to speak something and you speak it beleiving  then everything will line up with it.  God told Abram that he would make him a father of many nations, but notice his body was dead and his wife's womb was dead (Romans 4:19).  So, what did God do he changed their names to Abraham(father of a multitude) and Sarah(Princess of nations).  Notice, their names were changed to match what God said he would do.  And their bodies lined up with it.  Abraham was not weak in faith, but was strong in faith (Romans 4:19,20).

Look at Jesus, he only spoke the word of God and when he released it believing all contrary conditions lined up with it.  When a man couldn't walk Jesus would tell him, "Rise, take up thy bed, and go thy way into thine house" and they did.  A man with a withered hand and Jesus told him, "Stretch forth thine hand" and he did.  When a woman was barren God would send her a word that she would have a child and they did.  God said that a virgin shall conceive and bring forth a son and she did.  All conditions give way to the word of God.  And you have been authorized to speak God's word because the scripture says, "Let us hold fast the profession(confession) of our faith."

James 3 is an excellent chapter that shows you the effect your words have on your body.  Verses 3 and 4 says, "Behold, we put bits in the horses' mouths, that they may obey us; and we turn about their whole body."  "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 govenor listeth."  What are these verses saying, in verse 4 the tongue of the horse is used to control the body, he's showing you the comparison with your tongue.  In verse 5 he's saying you(spirit you) are the governor, your body is the ship because it's how you get around in this physical world.  And the rudder is the tongue.  So, if you want to turn your ship change your words.  And did you notice that no matter how fierce the winds are the ship goes where you guide it.

Isn't that what Abraham and Sarah did when God changed their names.  Notice, God gives you something to say to change your body.  Why, because Romans 1:16 says that the word of God is the power of God.  So, if you hold fast to your confession of faith the power of God will turn your body.  In Proverbs 4: 20-22 it instructs you to keep the word in your eyes, ears, and mouth for it is health to your flesh.  That word health is translated as medicine, healing, remedy, and cure.  The words you speak are vital to the condition of your body.  Psalm 103:5 says, "Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things(words); so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's.  Notice, it didn't say God satisfieth you, no he said your mouth.  He uses the mouth to turn the body.  So, hold fast to your confession of faith.

Plant Your Healing

God has created a process by which He supplies all you need.  In this instance I'm going to concentrate on healing.  It is the kingdom of God process which operates on the principle of sowing and reaping (Mark 4:26-28).  In Genesis 1:11,12 & 2:5,6 we see God giving the seed, soil, and water their assignment and ability.  Every seed has the ability to become something.  The soil increases the seed into it's full potential.  And the rain/water makes the soil increase the seed to it's full potential (Isaiah 55:10).

And all of these things working together will produce something.  If I plant a rose seed in the ground and water it the potential in that seed will go to work and continue to work until it's potential is fulfilled.  It's the same thing with God's word.  Mark 4:3 says, "Hearken; Behold, there went out a sower to sow."  Mark 4:14 says, "The sower soweth the word", that's the seed.  Mark 4:15 says, "Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts", that's the soil.  And Ephesians 5:26 says, "That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word", it's also the water.

So, how do I plant the word and water it, by hearing it.  1Corinthians 3:6,7 says, "I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase."  "So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase."  You can speak the word yourself.  Romans 10:8 says, "But what saith it? The Word Is Nigh Thee Even In Thy Mouth, And In Thy Heart:  that is the word of faith which we preach."  The first time the word is deposited that's the planting each time after that is watering.

That's the same principle of Proverbs 4:20-23 your eyes, ears, and mouth are entrances to your heart/soil.  That is instructions to plant and water the seed.  And the seed is powerful for Romans 1:16 says, the word of God is the power of God.  Well, the word of God being the power of God means it has the power to do something because God is all powerful which means He has the power to do all things and God and his word are one.  John 1:1 says, "In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God, and the word was God".  God heals and his word heals.  The word health in verse 22 in the hebrew is marpe translated as- medicine, healing, remedy, and cure.  And that word was taken from another hebrew word rapha (which is a covenant name of God, Jehovah-rapha The Lord our healer) which means- to mend, to cure, cause to heal, physician, repair, make whole.  The Lord is our physician and every physician has his medicine.  Psalm 107:20 say, "He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions."

God put his healing power in the seed.  Just as He did in the natural Genesis 1:11,12 He doesn't have to speak to create any more trees the seeds now do the work.  What God did by speaking man now does by planting and watering.  So, every seed represents something God has already done.  Because if God hasn't already done it you can't have a seed of it.  God's word says, "Surely he hath borne our griefs(diseases, sicknesses) and carried our sorrows(anguish,afflictions,pains)" "The chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed".  That was Isaiah looking ahead to the cross.  And 1Peter 2:24 is Peter looking back at the cross and says, "By whose stripes ye were healed."  Notice, Peter states it as an accomplished act and not something to be done in the future.  Now, what's our part take the seed and plant and water it.  You have to speak as God has said it and not how you see it.  2Corinthians 4:18 says, "While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen:  for the things which are seen are temporal(changeable); but the things which are not seen are eternal(ever lasting).  So, the unseen things are real or else how could you look at them.  What is seen, your conditions.  What is not seen, what Jesus did for you by the shedding of his blood.  That's what God did with Abraham and Sarah.  He changed their names to get them talking in line with what He said.  Even though their bodies were in contrary conditions.  Romans 4:19 says, "And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither the deadness of Sarah's womb."  But, by the planting and watering of the seed their bodies changed.

You see the same principle in Acts 14:7-10 a man impotent in his feet sat and heard Paul preach(plant & water) and when Paul perceived that the man had faith he told the man to stand up and he leaped up and walked.  Nobody prayed for him, or laid hands on him, or called upon the name of Jesus, just him and the word did the job.  Remember, it was Paul that said, "I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase."  Even I myself have my own testimony, I myself followed those same principles.  When that sickness attacked my body I spoke the way God said it and not how it was in the natural.  Romans 4:17 says, God calls things that be not (manifested) as though they were (manifested).  And that's the same thing God told Abraham and Sarah to do.  That's what God said to do in Joel 3:10 "Let the weak say I am strong."  And that's what I did, "By the stripes of Jesus I am healed."  I spoke the way God said it was.  I put my eyes on the word, I listened to the word, I kept the word in the midst of my heart and out of my heart/spirit/soil came my healing.

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. 

Your Healing Is In The Seed Of The Word

All the healing you need is in the word of God.  The word of God is characterized as seed (Mark 4:14).  That's important to understand for Proverbs 4:20-22 says,  "My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings.  Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart.  For they are life unto them that find them, and health to all their flesh."  What is he saying, plant the word in your heart because it's a seed.  That word health is marpe in hebrew which means- a medicine, healing, remedy, and cure.  And it's taken from another hebrew word rapha which in itself means to cure, cause to heal, make whole.  So, the healing you need is in the seed.

In Proverbs 16:24 it says, "Pleasant words are as an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health(marpe) to the bones.  Notice he keeps relating words with healing.  And in Proverbs 15:4 it says, "A wholesome tongue is a tree of life" (and that word wholesome is translated as the same word health in Proverbs 4).  Why a tree, because a tree represents seed that has been sown.  And we know from Proverbs 18:21 you eat the fruit of the tree you plant.  Eating represents the seed coming into manifestation.  Because, you have to have something in order to eat it.

God works through your words that are in line with his words to bring healing, in 1Corinthians 3:6,7 it says, "I have planted(seed), Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.  So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase."  Now here the word characterizes the word as seed and water.  Which to me represents a continual intake of the word.  And God gives increase to the seed that is planted and watered.  And you see that in Joshua 1:8 "This book of the law shall not depart out of your mouth(plant and water); 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."

He was going to make his way prosperous by keeping the word in his mouth.  By the planting and watering of the seed of the word.  When you plant and water the seed of the word something is suppose to come forth.  You see the same thing in Psalm 1:1-3 notice it says he that meditates in the word will be like a tree planted by the rivers of water that bringeth forth his fruit(notice you have seed, water, and increase by the word).  In Romans 4:19 it says, "And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about a hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sarah's womb."  So, they both had conditions in their bodies that prevented them from having children, but God said they would have a child.  What did God do, He changed their names to fit what He had spoken because back then names meant something or you could say He gave them seed to sow and water.  And by the planting and watering of that seed healing came forth because they had a child.  He gave them something to say or sow that was contrary to their condition.  Abraham means father of a great multitude and Sarah means Princess of the multitude.  Notice, their healing was in the seed God provided and your healing is in the seeds God has provided like Isaiah 53:4,5 1Peter 2:24 Galatians 3:13. So, when things don't look like what God has said that's the time to plant and water the seed of the word because your healing is in it.

10 Points Of Healing

This article is to those that might be going through a physical affliction and wondering if it is God's will for you to be healed.  I just want to encourage you that it is God's will that you receive your healing.  Let me make these points to help convince you of that because I want you convinced so that nobody can talk you out of it.  First, In Matthew 15:26 Jesus said healing is the children's bread.  What is bread, it is your right.  Every child has a right to be fed.  In fact, it a father's obligation to feed his children.  And Jesus said it(healing) is the children's bread.  Second, God the Father is the most loving father and in Luke 11:11-13 the point Jesus is making is that if you being evil know how to do good for your children how much more God.  James 1:17 says, every good gift comes from God.  And Act 10:38 says, God anointed Jesus with the Holy Ghost and power and with the Holy Ghost and power Jesus went about doing good healing all that were oppressed of the devil.  So, healing is a good gift from God.  I want to make this point because there are those that say these bodies are just dust and they don't matter to God.  But, yet we see God anointing Jesus to heal these dust bodies and he did not turn anyone away.  Now, what natural parent if they had a child out playing and the child fell and was bleeding badly tell them, "Now baby don't worry about it your body is just dust."  NO, a good parent would pick that child up rush them in the house, nurse their wounds, put a bandage on them, dry there tears, and do everything in their ability to make it better.  Well, how much more God.  Third, Hebrews 1:3 says, Jesus is the express image of God and Jesus said he only did what he saw the Father do so everytime Jesus healed it was the Father's will and not one time did he turn anyone away.  Not one time did he say, "God is using this to teach you something."  Not one time did he say, "I'm sorry, but it's not God's will.  You know all those religious ideas people come up with.    Not one time did he say no and God does not change Malachi 3:6.

Fourth, God anointed Jesus to heal.  Jesus told his disciples to heal.  Jesus told believers to heal.  So, healing must be one of God's top priorities.  Fifth, Jesus was lashed and cut open for your healing Isaiah 53:4,5.  He was beaten so badly he didn't even look like himself Isaiah 52:14.  Now, how can anyone say that healing is not important to God.  Sixth, God has an assignment for all of our lives and without these bodies we can't fulfill them. Seven, Some say that it's more important to be saved than healed.  And I agree totally, but God provided for both 1Peter 2:24.  If He provided it then He must wants us to have it.  Eighth, Jesus said many are sick and sleep(dead) because they don't discern the Lord's body, that it was broken for your healing 1Corinthians 11:24,29,30.  People recognize that what Jesus did brought salvation, but they don't realize that what he did brought healing so they don't receive it.  Ninth, Everything about Jesus speaks of healing.  The lamb in Exodus 12 is a picture of Jesus and notice as a result of eating the lamb everyone was healed Psalm 105:37 (make a note of that from point 8).  In Numbers 16 the atonement Aaron made for the people represents what Jesus did for you and I.  And in Numbers 21 that serpent on the pole represents Jesus on the cross taking our sins.  Notice, in every case it brought HEALING.  Tenth, In Acts 5 and 19 God used handkerchiefs and even a man's shadow to heal people.  Look at God.  So, do not let people minimize God's desire for you to receive your healing.  And do not let them trivialize what Jesus went through for you to be healed. So, if you are believing then keep believing.  God Bless!!!!
