God's Word In Your Mouth Is Your Salvation

God's word in your mouth is your salvation.  His word in your mouth and spoken out properly will produce your salvation.  The word says the word of God is powerful(Hebrews 4:12), but for it to be powerful on your behalf it has to come out of your mouth.  Romans 1:16 says, For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ:  for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.  Notice, it's the power of God unto salvation.  That word salvation is translated heal, preserve, save, make well, deliver, rescue.  So, the word of God is the power of God unto all of those things, but to him that believeth.  Well, according to 2Corinthians 4:13 when you believe you speak.  That agrees with Romans 10:10 with your heart you believe and with the mouth you speak.  And that combination brings salvation into your life. 

That's why Paul says in Romans 10:6-8, you don't have to call Jesus back, but the word is nigh you even in your mouth and in your heart.  Notice, it has to be in both places.  A lot of people have no problem believing the word has to be in your heart, but they have a problem believing that it has to be in your mouth.  But, the Bible has a lot to say about the word being in your mouth and what it will do.  Like Proverbs 12:6, the mouth of the upright will deliver them.  And the 18th verse of that same chapter says, but the tongue of the wise is health(healing).  Proverbs has a lot to say about the words of your mouth like Proverbs 14:3, the lips of the wise shall preserve them.  Now we know when the Bible speaks of the mouth, lips, or tongue it is referring to your words.  And what better words are there to use than God's words.  Because it is He that creates the fruit of your lips (Isaiah 57:19). 

Healing Belongs To You

There has been some misunderstandings about God and healing that needs to be cleared up.  Some people think that God puts sickness on people to teach them something, that is not true.  The scripture says that Jesus came to undo the works of the devil (1John 3:8).  What is one work of the devil, let's look at Acts 10:38, How God anointed Jesus of Nazereth with the Holy Ghost and power:  who went about doing good, and healing all that was oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.  So, sickness is not of God it is from the devil, and God sees healing a good.  God anointed Jesus for the purpose of healing.  Some people think healing is not important to God, but according to the scripture healing is very important to God.  And since he doesn't change it is still important to him (Malachi 3:6).
Now, let's look at another point, God has already provided healing for you.  He said in Matthew 15, that healing is the children's bread.  What is bread, another word for bread is provision.  It is something already provided.  But, here's the thing you can not let your body dictate to you what God has done.  Because your flesh can't know the things of God because they are spiritually discerned (1Corinthians 2:14).  That's why this is a faith walk, because you have to believe independent of your senses.  Let's see an example in Luke 17, ten lepers came to Jesus and asked him to have mercy on them and Jesus replied, "Go show yourselves unto the priest."  Now in that time you only showed yourself to priests after you've been cleansed.  And the scripture says that as they went they were cleansed.  Now, when did Jesus provide the healing, when he said, "Go show yourselves unto the priests", because that was all he did.  But, notice even though he provided something they didnt' look any different and they didn't feel any different.  They did not let there bodies determine whether something was done or not and jesus called that faith.
Let's clear up something else God does not heal some and not other.  God makes the provision to everyone and it's up to you to receive it.  Let's look all the way back to the old testament up to the new to see this.  Notice in Psalm 105:37 it is referring to the day after the Passover, He brought them forth also with silver and gold:  and there was not one feeble one among their tribes.  God healed everyone, not some and not others.  Let's see another example in Numbers 21:8, it refers to when serpents were bitting the children of Isreal and they were dying from the bites.  God told Moses, "Make thee a fiery serpent, and put it upon a pole:  and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live".  And it came to pass that if a serpent had bitten any man when he beheld the serpent of brass he lived.  Notice God made the provision for everyone.  Now let's come up to the new testament and again Acts 10:38, how Jesus healed all who were oppressed of the devil.  Jesus never turned anyone away that came to him for healing.  Not one time did he say no it's not God's will, that let's me know that it was always God's will for people to be healed and it's still his will.  I wanted to get those things cleared up because there may have been some wrong thinking in those areas and John in 3John 2 makes this statement, "Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth."  So, your thinking can effect you receiving your healing.  So, I just wanted to clear up some thinking that may not have been in line with the scriptures so that someone would be in a better position to receive their healing.   

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).  

The Word In Your Mouth And Heart

The word belongs in two places in your mouth and in your heart.  Because whatever gets into your heart and mouth will make it's way into your life.  Jesus said it this way, "For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith."  Because your heart and mouth are doorways for things to come into your life and also out of your life.  Because Jesus also said, "For verily I say unto you, If ye have faith(in your heart) 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."  That mountain can represent a problem in your life.  Notice in both of those scriptures your heart and mouth are involved.  Notice what Jesus said in Revelation 3:20, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock; if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me."  What door is he knocking at, the door of your heart(spirit).  Jesus (the word) wants to come into your heart, so there is a door of your heart.  But, also notice what David said in Psalm 141:3, "Set a watch, O Lord, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips."  So there is also a door of your mouth.  Notice a door serves two purpose as an entrance and an exit.  So things are coming into and out of your life when you know how to work your mouth and heart together.  I believe David tapped into that when he said, "Let the words of my mouth, and the meditations of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer."  But, notice the heart and mouth working together.

The door of your heart is a doorway into your spirit and once something is in your spirit and you open the door of your mouth that thing is released into your life.  Jesus said that this way, "For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.  A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things:  and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things."  Take salvation for instance, with your heart you believe and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.  You work your heart and mouth together  and salvation shows up in your life.  It's with the heart you believe and with the mouth you speak.  So, it's not just speaking and it's not just believing, but both working together.  When the word enters you it first works on you (renewing the mind and bringing faith to your heart) and after it works on you now it's ready to be released into your life and work on your situations.  So, any word of God that you can get in your heart and speak out of your mouth will make it's way into your life.  Let's take Mary for instance an angel brought Mary a word "And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS."  And Mary believed that word and not just believed, but she also spoke, "Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word."  And Jesus showed up and we can live according to the words she believed and spoke.  When that outside word became an inside word and she spoke it Jesus came in the earth.  How about the woman with the issue of blood she heard about Jesus and according to what she heard she said, "If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole."  And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague.  And Jesus said, "Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole."  So by her heart and mouth working together healing came into her life.  So, if you have a situation in your life put the word in your mouth and heart and keep it there and watch the word work (Hebrews 6:12 Isaiah 55:11).

Let The Prince Of Peace Come In

The Prince of Peace wants to come in and give you peace, he wants to calm every fear and heal every hurt.  And he has a system for doing exactly that.  His word is the means of bringing you peace.  James 1:21 says, "To receive with meekness the engrafted word, which has the power to save your soul."  The engrafted word, which has the idea that you are going to have to put the word on the inside of you.  The word of God is the sword of the spirit and with it you cut the roots which in turn will kill the fruit  (fear, worry, anxiety, hurt).  And the word is not only the sword of the spirit, but it is also seed.  So by planting the word in you then you start a new root system which in turn produces different fruit (peace, joy, love).  The weapons of our warefare are mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds; casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ (2Corinthians 10:4,5).  One of those weapons is the word of God, for it is quick(alive) and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword (Hebrews 4:12).  The word is anointed and when that word gets on the inside of you then the anointing will remove the burden and destroy the yoke (Isaiah 10:27). 

Paul in Romans 10:8 says, "The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart:  that is the word of faith which we preach."  That's how you get it on the inside of you, by your mouth.  Some people don't know the effect words have on them, but Proverbs 21:23 says, "Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue keepeth his soul from troubles."  And what word is better to keep your soul from troubles than the word of God.  It has the ability to bring every thought to the obedience of Christ(the anointed one).  The anointing is the burden removing, yoke destroying power of God.  Notice 2Corinthians 10:4,5 shows the progression, first the thought, then the fear or worry, then the imagination, then the stronghold.  A stronghold is when something is so fixed in your mind and it has just that on you a stronghold.  But thank God there's something stronger, the anointing.  And the anointing goes to the root and cuts it off.  And once the roots are cut then the fruit have to die.  Jesus is the word made flesh (John 1:14).  God and his word are one (John 1:1).  So when you let the word in then you let them in and there's nothing to hard for the Lord.  So no matter how fearful, worried, or hurt you may be let the Prince of Peace come in.

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.
