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.
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 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.
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.

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.
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.

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, 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.
