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.
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.

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.
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!!!!

God Bless!!!!
Your Healing Has Been Provided
Have you heard someone say, "God heals some, but not others", actually that is not the truth. Acts 10:34 says, "God is no respecter of persons." Why do people say that because they are basing it off of their experience. But, a persons experience doesn't change the truthfulness of God's word. The truth is that when God heals he provides healing for everyone and doesn't pick and choose who gets healed. Let's go through the scriptures and see what they say. In Exodus 12 God institutes the Passover where the children of Israel were to take a lamb and kill it and put the blood on the two side door posts and the upper door post where they were to eat the lamb. That was an instruction for the whole congregation and notice as a result of eating of the lamb Psalm 105:37 says, "He brought them forth also with silver and gold: and there was not one feeble person among them." God healed all of them, there was not one person that God did not heal. On another occasion in Numbers 21 when the children of Israel were in the wilderness they were being bitten by serpents and dying, but God came up with an answer to the problem (notice God's wording). God said, "Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live." And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole, and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived. Notice God said that it was for every one.
Let's look at some more scriptures to further prove the point, 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." That word health is translated from Hebrew as medicine, remedy, cure. God says that his word is the remedy for all your flesh. And it is for all that find them. Let's look at one more scripture in Acts 10:38 it says, "How God anointed Jesus Christ of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him." First notice that Jesus healed all and God calls healing doing good.
Now, let me inform you of something that you might not know that a lot of people have a problem accepting, but I'm going to explain. God has already provided all the healing you will ever need. 1Peter 2:24 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." Notice, the scripture says that you were(past tense) healed. Now, I know the first thing someone might say is if I am healed how come I still have this sickness. Because, God is not saying that you are physically healed, but he has already done the healing. You look at Luke 17:12-14 where 10 lepers cried out to Jesus for him to heal them and he said, "Go shew yourselves unto the priests." And the scripture says that as they went they were cleansed. Notice, all Jesus did was send them to show themselves to the priest, because in those days you only showed yourself to the priests after you were cleansed so Jesus was calling them clean. That was all he did, so what Jesus did he did when he said, because that's how Jesus healed by his words. Notice, even though Jesus did something there was no physical change, they still looked and felt the same. So, your flesh is no indication of if God has done something. Your flesh is only an indication of when you have received what God has done. Notice, in verse 15 it says that when one of them saw that he was cleansed he turned back to praise God. Notice, by faith he believed something was done when Jesus said, go....., but by his senses he saw when he had received.
You see the same principles in Mark chapter 3 where Jesus saw a man with a withered hand and said unto him, "Stretch forth thine hand." And he stretched it out and his hand was restored whole as the other. Notice, again Jesus said, "stretch forth thine hand" he was calling the man healed because he couldn't stretch forth his hand so for him to comply with Jesus words he would have to be healed. Notice, again Jesus words was Jesus doing the healing. Again, notice even though Jesus did something there was no physical change because the scripture says, he stretched it out and it was restored whole as the other. Otherwise, it would have said and his hand was restored whole as the other and he stretched it out. So, the implication is that when Jesus told him to stretch forth his hand, he knowing that he couldn't stretch forth his hand put forth an effort to do it and his hand was then made whole. Now, in both of those instances what if they would have waited to see or feel something they would have never received.
Now, here is a point you have to understand in looking at the instances above, God has already released your healing. It is not a matter of God needing to heal you. God sees healing as an accomplished act and he tells you. In 1Peter 2:24 it says, "By whose stripes ye were healed." That is not a promise of something in the future, that is stating an accomplished act. Now, I know the first thing that may come to a person is if God has done the healing why do I still have this condition. Let me give you an example: Let's say a person is hungry so he goes to a restaurant. The waitress comes and takes his order and gives it to the chef. He cooks the food and gives it to the waitress and she brings it to him. Notice, once she brings the food or provides him with his order he is considered having been served. Once the provision is made you are considered having been served. Now, the food is right there in front of him, but question, is he still hungry. Just the food being in front of him does not take away his hunger, he has to receive it or eat it. Likewise, the healing God has provided does not take away your sickness until you receive it. Just like that food will not do you any good until you eat it or receive it. Now, nobody goes to a restaurant and places their order and when the waitress brings them their order because they are still hungry because they have not yet received what has been provided they ask for another plate of food. Now you have two plates of food again not having received any of it so because you are still hungry you ask for another plate of food. Now at that rate you can have 10 plates of food in front of you and still be hungry. Nobody would do that and yet that is the same as when a person continues to ask God to heal them.
You can not allow your flesh to tell you when or what God has already done for you. Your flesh body has no clue of what God has done for you. In 1Corinthians 2:14 it says, "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." Notice it says your flesh can not know the things of God, so you can't count on your flesh to tell you what God has already done for you. The only thing you can count on is the word of God. Your flesh can't tell you what God has done for you only when you have received what God has done for you. Coming up we'll look at this further and look at how you receive the healing God has already done. God Bless!!!

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.

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