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.

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.

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.

Don't Be Snared By Your Words

Don't use your words to hold you in bondage, but use your words to free you from them.  The Bible tells you that "You are snared by the words of your mouth."  Your words can keep you in a situation or condition or can free you from them.  In my own case years ago I was eating bananas just fine, but this one time I ate one and got sick to my stomach.  And for awhile everytime someone offered me something with bananas in them I was quick to say, "I can't eat them" or "They make me sick to my stomach." And sure enough from that time on if I just took a few bites of a banana I got sick to my stomach.  But, one day I was watching TV and the man preaching was preaching on- The power of positive confession.  And he described me perfectly when he said, "You probably ate something one time and got sick and started confessing that you can't eat it."  So, what did I do I changed my words.  I started confessing that I can eat bananas and after awhile of confessing that one day I was led to eat one so I did, then I had another one and sure enough I could eat them again and I still can.  Notice, I was keeping myself in bondage by my own words.  Proverbs 18:21 says, "Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and those that love it shall eat the fruit thereof."  I was not able to eat the fruit of bananas because I was eating the fruit of my lips.

I've had a sickness changed by confessing God's word.  I had a serious condition that needed healing and again thank God I came across a teaching that led to me receiving my healing.  He was teaching on using God's word as medicine as in Proverbs 4:20-22 and God's word being seed that you plant and water by speaking it as in 1Corinthians 3:6-8.  So, daily I would do just as those scriptures said, I would look at the word with my eyes and keep it in my ears by confessing it.  I didn't fully understand what I was doing but I was determined to just do it and after awhile of confessing God's healing that condition was gone.  So, you don't have to just put up with things as they are you can take the word of God and change them.

Your Salvation Is In Your Mouth

Your mouth is a powerful tool in you receiving your salvation.  Romans 10:10 says, "For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation."  That word confession means to acknowledge or say the same thing as.  So, let's break this scripture down, notice it says, with the mouth(your mouth) confession(saying the same thing as God) is made unto salvation(healing, deliverance, preservation, made whole).  That word salvation means so much more than only being born again.  That scripture is saying when you speak God's word out of a believing heart your words will bring your salvation.  It's not you just speaking anything, but God's word.  Understand, God has something for you to say that will bring you deliverance.  Proverbs 12:6 says, "The mouth of the upright will deliver them."  Understand, God has something for you to say in that sickness.  Proverbs 12:18 says, "But the tongue of the wise is health."  That word health is translated remedy, medicine, cure.  God's word will keep you that's why Proverbs 14:3 says, "The lips of the wise will preserve them."  Notice when it says lips, mouth, or tongue it is referring to your words.

The Bible is full of instances of people who knew how to speak their deliverance like David going up against Goliath when he said, "This day will the Lord deliver you into my hands."  And soon after he spoke those words Goliath's head was in his hands.  And the 3 Hebrew boys that was facing being thrown into the fiery furnace and they spoke that the Lord would deliver them from the hands of the king.  And after they were thrown into the furnace they came out without one hair burned and without even the smell of smoke.  How about the woman with the issue of blood, she spoke, "If only I may touch his clothes, I shall be made whole."  Their words were key to them receiving their salvation and your words are key to you receiving your salvation.  So, when you are going through a tough time find out what God has said about your situation and put your faith in that and let your words come into agreement with his word.  God has already promised that his word would not return to him without accomplishing what he pleases.  His words return to him from your lips.  Follow the instructions God gave Joshua, "This book of the law shall not depart out of your mouth, but thou shalt meditate therein day and night."  And the same thing He promised Joshua is for you, "And you shall make your way prosperous." 

God's Word Can Heal You

I just want to encourage someone that might be going through a sickness or disease, there is hope in the word of God.  Proverbs 4:20-22 says God's word is medicine and tells you how to take it.  You need to understand the word of God and your sickness cannot stay in the same place.  For God has spoken in Isaiah 55:11 that his word would accomplish that which he pleases and that it would prosper in the thing whereunto he sent it.  The word and that sickness cannot prosper inside your body, and God has already said that it would be his word.  The word is anointed, so it is equipped to remove burdens and destroy yokes (Isaiah 10:27). God's word is a healing agent.  In Psalm 107:20 it says, God sent his word and healed them.  Look at the ministry of Jesus, a lot of the accounts of his healings was simply by the spoken word.  In fact, in Matthew 8 a centurion tapped in to that when he said, "Speak the word only and my servant shall be healed."  Jesus spoke the word and his servant was healed.  What did Jesus speak, he only spoke the words of his father, the word of God (John 12:49,50).  Notice John 1:1 says, "In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God, and the word was God."  So you can't separate God from his word.  So his word does heal just as sure as he heals.  For example remember in Luke chapter 1 a woman named Elisabeth was barren and the word of the Lord came that she would have a son, she was unable to have a child and yet the word of the Lord came that she would have a son, and her condition could not stay the same it had to change.  Notice when the word came on the scene things changed.  So, be encouraged the word can change your condition.  Be patient, give it some time for God is faithful and his word his powerful (Hebrews 4:12).  

That Problem Must Go

You might be going through a tough time right now, but let me just tell you that problem can't stand against your answer. Your answer is found in the word of God. What is the word of God, it's God speaking to you. It's God informing you of what He has spoken concerning your problem, that's your answer. Understand this, God has already spoken your answer not your problem. And there's no problem that can stand against the word of God. Your answer is much more powerful than your problem. Notice Romans 8:2 says, "For the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death." Notice the law of life makes you free from the law of death. What is death, it's the absence of life. Do you remember in Ezekiel 37 when he said the hand of the Lord carried him out in the spirit of the Lord and set him down in the midst of the valley of dry bones and God asked him, "Son of man can these bones live". Notice what God said to him, "Prophesy unpon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the Lord". Notice what God was doing, having him speak life into those dead bones because He said in Johnn 6:63, that his word is life. Don't let dead situations hang around you without speaking life into them. God has already told you that death and life are in the power of the tongue. So speak life into that dead situation and the life of the word will cause that situation to change. Speak the word from your heart not just out of your head. Because it's a natural process, when the word is in your heart it will come out of your mouth and that's when things change (Matthew 12:34,35).

The Blood

The
blood of Jesus has made his people victorious in life. You are not just some victim of circumstances. You have something to say about the circumstances in your life. By the blood of Jesus you can reign in life by the abundance of grace that came by Jesus Christ. By the blood of Jesus we have been made kings and priests. So, according to Deuteronomy 21:5 at the word of the priest every controversy shall be settled. Which means you may be in a unfavorable situation, but you don't have to let it dictate to you what will be. But, you have to be careful not to let your words just agree with the situations in life, but line your words with God's and establish his word in your life. The word also says by the blood of Jesus we were raised and made to sit with Jesus in heavenly places in Christ (Ephesians 2:6). Which means just as God raised him up and put all things under his feet they are also under us through Jesus (Ephesians 1:22). God put you in a position of authority and he wants you to use it. And you use that authority by the words of your mouth. That's why you line your words with God's word and not the circumstances because you are the priest with the authority of Jesus. And as a priest you have been authorized to bless in the name of the Lord (Deuteronomy 21:5). So, if you are in a tight situation speak words of life and speak blessings and not curses. In 1Peter 3:10 it says, if you want to see good keep your mouth from speaking evil. That's why you don't just line your words up with the circumstances, but with the word of God because that is what you desire to see. The blood of Jesus has put you over the circumstances of life so don't let them rule you exercise your authority in the name of Jesus.

Medicine Is In Your Mouth

One of the most important things people overlook in dealing with sickness is what they speak out of their mouth.  You can't just speak anything because your words have an effect on your body.  In the book of James he says, if you offend not in word, you are able to bridle your whole body.  He also goes on to say your tongue is like the rudder of a ship, so if you want to go from sickness to healing then you are going to have to set your tongue to healing and not sickness.  In 1Peter 3:10 he says, if you want to see good keep your tongue from evil.  That's a principle so you could also say, if you want to see healing keep your tongue from sickness.  And the best way to do that is to put God's word in your mouth concerning your healing.  Because Proverbs 4:22 says, God's word is health(medicine) to all your flesh. God's word in your mouth is medicine to all your flesh. 
Now somebody might be saying prove that with the word, remember Abraham and his wife Sarah the scripture says, he was old and his body was dead(not functioning in a manner to have a son) and his wife Sarah was barren, but God said they would have a son together and that Abraham's seed would be as numerous as the stars in the sky.  How did God change their bodies to carry out what He spoke, He changed their names.  He gave them something to say that was in line with what He spoke.  Abraham means-Father of a multitude and Sarah means-Princess of the multitude.  Notice what Psalm 103:5 says, He satisfies your mouth with good things; so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.  Notice that scripture doesn't say He satisfies you.  He gives you something to say to change your body. 
Somebody may be saying, yes, but I need a miracle, well in Luke 1 the angel came to Mary, a virgin, and told her she was going to have a son and they talked for a little while, but notice that angel didn't depart until Mary spoke in line with what he said, "Be it unto me according to thy word". It wasn't until Mary spoke that the miracle took place.  Now, you can't deny that the word has a lot to say about your words having an effect on your body.  Especially God's word and some say they don't believe in speaking God's word when the Bible says, it is powerful and has the power to save.  That word save in the greek also means heal.  That's why the word is medicine, because there's healing power in the word of God.  So, I encourage you to see what the word has to say about your healing like-"By whose stripes ye were healed" 1Peter 2:24, or "Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law" Galatians 3:13, or Himself took my infirmities and bore my sicknesses (you have to make it personal).  And put your hope and faith in what  God says and don't give up it is going to take time.  But, you have to start somewhere.

The Unseen Force Of Faith

The tittle may sound a little strange, but that's how I want you to view faith.  Not just something cute that you keep in your heart, but a force.  A force is defined as- Capacity to do work or cause physical change; strength; power.  I like that, cause physical change.  Let me tell you where I got the tittle, I was watching television one day and I happened to come upon a compass.  So, I picked it up and started to move around the room with it and as I moved that compass moved.  And the Holy Spirit quickened my mind, there is a force in the earth called a magnetic field.  That force is unseen, but it causes something to happen in the seen and that's how faith is.  An unseen force causes that compass to move.  That gave me greater understanding of what Jesus said, "Because of your unbelief:  for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you." Let's break this scripture down, "If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed", now some people say the size of a mustard seed, I don't have a problem with that, but let's look at something else about a seed, if it's not released out of the ground it will not produce anything in the earth.  Notice Jesus said, "If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say" that's how you release it.  Jesus said it this way, "For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh".  It's the faith that's released that moves mountains and causes physical change.
Now let's go a little deeper, your faith should be based on the word of God.  Paul calls it the word of faith. That means you could say, If ye have the word of God as a mustard seed... . The word of God is designed to change things.  The word of God is the original force of all forces.  What you see was made of things you can't see, the word.  Notice things that are unseen caused things that are seen to change.  And we are made in God's image and likeness.  We are a spirit just as God is a spirit.  So, if we learn how to operate from our spirit we can cause things to change in the natural.  That's what Jesus demonstrated over and over again.  He spoke to the wind and sea and his words of faith calmed the storm.  He spoke to a tree and it dried up from the roots and then he said to his disciples that if they had faith they could do the same thing, change things in the physical by operating out of their spirit and so can we.  That's why one of the worst things a child of God can do is to wait for things to change and get better.  No, take the word of God and make things get better.  God said, his word would not return to him void, but accomplish that which He pleases.  God has honored us to be able to release that force on our behalf.  So, once again that force is released in the earth now by us.

It's Not Just Words But Power

God's word is not just words, but power. The same power that formed the earth is in The Bible. But when you refuse to put it on your lips all that power goes to waste. God said his word would not return to him void, but it shall accomplish what he pleases (Isaiah 55:11). Well, for it to accomplish what God pleases it has to have power. But notice it shall accomplish when it is returned to him. How is it returned to him? When you speak it you are returning his word to him. So every day you don't put the word of God on your lips you fail to put the power of God to work for you.


The same power that created the universe is capable of making your life just what God called for. But without the word on your lips it will not accomplish for you. The word of God is capable of creating a life of health, joy, and peace. God gave you his word which is his power and a free will. You take his power and create what you want in your life. If you are sick create healing in your body. The scripture "By whose stripes ye were healed" has enough power in it to heal any sickness. If you're lacking finances take the word and create prosperity. If you want success you create it in your life. Isn't that what God told Joshua "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 all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous and then thou shalt have good success." Notice, the success he was to have was dependent on the word coming out of his mouth. Don't treat the word of God like it's just words, but power. Imagine how much better your life would be if you did what God said, keep his word in your mouth.

Speak the word and let it create for you. Let the word do it's job. It's capable of bringing into your life exactly what God has already called for. But it has to be on your lips to do it. Sometimes we see things in the natural, but not the spiritual. For instance, when you go into a dark room the first thing you do is flip the light switch. Failure to do so can cause you to stumble in darkness even with all the power needed to walk in light is right there. So likewise, failure to put the word on your lips can cause you to walk in sickness, poverty, and all other things God never intended for you to have even though you may know the word of God. But, failure to put the word on your lips keeps the power from working for you. The word of God is not just words, but power.

Send The Word Out Ahead (Let The Word Clear Your Path)

There's an old spiritual hymn that goes "I'm climbing up the rough side of the mountain". And many people related with that, that you just have to go through life struggling. But that goes against the bible. And that's been the problem too many mountain climbers and not enough mountains movers. Instead of climbing the mountain why not get rid of it. Let's see what God has to say about the mountains in your life. God said every mountain and hill shall be made low (Isa. 40:4). How? The Bible says the hills melted like wax at the presence of the Lord (Ps.97:5). And God and his word are one in the same (John 1:1). They melted like wax because his word is like fire (Jer. 23:29). Your mountains melt at God's word. And that rough side shall be made plain (or smooth). How? By the hammer of the word (Jer. 23:29). In Isaiah 41:7 notice God says he that smootheth with the hammer. And the crooked shall be made straight for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it. And why did God speak it? So that you would have something to say (Heb 13:6). Notice it says that God spoke so that you would boldly proclaim. What is God doing? He's putting his word in your mouth (Isa. 51:16). And when his word is in your mouth it shall accomplish (Isa. 55:10,11). But that word has to be spoken with faith (Mark 11:23). And faith cometh by hearing the word of God (Rom. 10:17). It's a lot easier to walk on a flat, straight, smooth surface that a high, rough, crooked mountain. God don't want you struggling he wants to give you rest (Matt. 11:28).

So send the word out ahead of you. Let the word clear your path. Wherever you send your words you will follow (James 3:3,4)
