If you are in need of healing, Proverbs 4:20-23 is a powerful scripture that you can use. Because, it is filled with very powerful and easy to understand truths. Read, 20 My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. 21 Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. 22 For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh. 23 Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life. Proverbs 4:20-23 operates by the principle of planting and watering seed (See the parable of the sower Mark 4). The only way to get out of a seed what is in it is to plant it. What you give your eyes and ears to gets into your heart/spirit either faith or fear. They both come by hearing. Notice, the words in verse 22 life and health that's what's in the seeds. The word life is translated-nourish up, restore, quicken(make alive), repair, revive and the word health is translated-medicine, remedy, healing, cure. That's what's in the seeds.
That word life is referring to the very life that is in God. Because God and his word are one (John 1:1). And 1Peter 1:23 says the word is incorruptible(immortal) seed, it lives forever, it can't die. Your spirit imparts life to your flesh when it leaves your body dies. God's word is life and when it enters your spirit that life can be imparted to your flesh. For example Abraham and Sarah Romans 4:19 says his body was dead and his wife Sarah's womb was dead, but God promised they would have a son. So, God changed their names from Abram-high father to Abraham-father of a multitude and from Saria-Princess to Sarah-Princess of nations. Notice, God changed their names to fit what He promised. It was a way of imparting that life to their flesh because they did have a son so their bodies did come alive. Understand this words play a huge role both spoken and heard. Words have an affect on you, both heard and spoken. Proverbs 15:30 says, "And a good report maketh the bones fat." And Proverbs 12:18 says, "But the tongue of the wise is health(same word). So, you need to be hearing and speaking God's report, instead of the report of the news broadcast.
When you first hear the word that's planting and each time after that is watering (1Corinthians 3:6,7). When you give your eyes and ears to the word that's what gets in you. Notice, in that verse Romans 4:19 it says Abraham considered not the deadness of his body nor the deadness of Sarah's womb. He only gave his attention to what God promised. Now, let's see an example of the word being medicine. In Acts 14:7-10 there is an account of a man that was impotent in his feet, he was cripple from his mother's womb. But, he heard Paul preach, that was the medicine, and Paul perceived the man had faith to be healed and told him to stand upright on his feet and the man leaped up and walked. Where did the faith come from, the word. Where did the healing come from, the word. That incorruptible seed found good ground and produced a harvest of healing. Notice, the healing was already in the seed. The seed comes with the healing.
I recall a while back when God dropped the question in my spirit, "How old are you"? And He said to think about this everyone that has walked the earth before now, and everyone present on it now, and everyone that will ever be on it was back in the Garden of Eden inside of Eve. So, likewise He said every healing you will ever need is already in the seed. I got news for you that includes the Corona Virus. Isaiah 53:4,5 does not say with Jesus stripes we are healed except for Corona. Psalm 103:3 doesn't say God heals all our diseases except Corona. 1Peter 2:24 doesn't say by whose stripes you were healed except for Corona. God saw Corona before it showed up. And if the blood of Jesus has been shed for it then it has already been dealt with and defeated. Just like God said, Behold a virgin shall conceive and bare a son. Do you think God didn't know who it was going to be, of course He did. And He spoke that hundreds of years before she was even born. That word traveled down through time waiting for Mary to show up. The Blood has been waiting for Corona to show up. God's seed in your soil can overcome any condition. God's medicine is greater than any sickness, disease, or virus. Plant the seed in the soil and water it and reap your harvest of healing.

The Word Will Turn Your Body
God's word causes/makes all contrary things come in line with it. You see that in Genesis 1 when there was darkness God said, "Light be" and there was light. Everything God released his word to do everything that was contrary with it came in line with it. And when God authorizes you to speak something and you speak it beleiving then everything will line up with it. God told Abram that he would make him a father of many nations, but notice his body was dead and his wife's womb was dead (Romans 4:19). So, what did God do he changed their names to Abraham(father of a multitude) and Sarah(Princess of nations). Notice, their names were changed to match what God said he would do. And their bodies lined up with it. Abraham was not weak in faith, but was strong in faith (Romans 4:19,20).
Look at Jesus, he only spoke the word of God and when he released it believing all contrary conditions lined up with it. When a man couldn't walk Jesus would tell him, "Rise, take up thy bed, and go thy way into thine house" and they did. A man with a withered hand and Jesus told him, "Stretch forth thine hand" and he did. When a woman was barren God would send her a word that she would have a child and they did. God said that a virgin shall conceive and bring forth a son and she did. All conditions give way to the word of God. And you have been authorized to speak God's word because the scripture says, "Let us hold fast the profession(confession) of our faith."
James 3 is an excellent chapter that shows you the effect your words have on your body. Verses 3 and 4 says, "Behold, we put bits in the horses' mouths, that they may obey us; and we turn about their whole body." "Behold also the ships, which though they be so great, and are driven of fierce winds, yet are they turned about with a very small helm, whithersoever the govenor listeth." What are these verses saying, in verse 4 the tongue of the horse is used to control the body, he's showing you the comparison with your tongue. In verse 5 he's saying you(spirit you) are the governor, your body is the ship because it's how you get around in this physical world. And the rudder is the tongue. So, if you want to turn your ship change your words. And did you notice that no matter how fierce the winds are the ship goes where you guide it.
Isn't that what Abraham and Sarah did when God changed their names. Notice, God gives you something to say to change your body. Why, because Romans 1:16 says that the word of God is the power of God. So, if you hold fast to your confession of faith the power of God will turn your body. In Proverbs 4: 20-22 it instructs you to keep the word in your eyes, ears, and mouth for it is health to your flesh. That word health is translated as medicine, healing, remedy, and cure. The words you speak are vital to the condition of your body. Psalm 103:5 says, "Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things(words); so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's. Notice, it didn't say God satisfieth you, no he said your mouth. He uses the mouth to turn the body. So, hold fast to your confession of faith.

Receive Your Healing
Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
What does God mean with his stripes we are healed. He means the provision of healing has already been made. Because, Peter looking back at the cross agrees in 1Peter 2:24. Peter says, "Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed." Now, I don't see any future tense in that, it's spoken in past tense. Now, don't look to your flesh to tell you whether or not God has done something, because your flesh is no indication of whether God has done something or not. Your flesh can only tell you when you have received what God has done. Don't mistake the manifestation of healing with the act of healing.
In Luke 17 there is an account of ten lepers coming to Jesus for healing. They cried out, "Jesus, Master, have mercy on us" and Jesus answered them, "Go shew yourselves unto the priests." The thing about it is you are only suppose to show yourself to the priests after you have evidence of being cleansed for him to pronounce you clean to go back into the camp. So, what is Jesus doing? He is calling them clean. He's doing like his father, calling things that be not as though they were (Rom 4:17). So, in the mind of Jesus once he called them clean his job was done because all he has to do is speak the word (Matt. 8:8). Now, they could have stood there and waited until they felt something or looked better, but they didn't they acted on the words of Jesus and as they went the healing was manifested. Notice, their flesh was no indication of whether or not Jesus did something.
In Mark 2:3-12 a man that was sick of the palsy was brought to Jesus for healing, but when Jesus saw him he said to him, "Son, thy sins be forgiven thee." Which angered the scribes that where sitting there. But, Jesus went on to say, "But that ye may know that the son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, I say unto thee, arise, and take up they bed, and go thy way into thine house." Wait a minute, does forgiveness have something to do with healing, absolutely. God did not separate forgiveness and healing, man did. And the scriptures shows it, Mark 2 is one example and there are more. Psalm 103:3 says, "Who forgiveth all thine iniquities and healeth all thine diseases." James 5:15 says, "And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up, and if he has committed any sins, they shall be forgiven him." 1Peter 2:24 says, "Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree(forgiveness) ... by whose stripes ye were healed(healing)." See that, forgiveness and healing go together and there's more scriptures that shows that.
In Leviticus 16 God introduced the scapegoat offering that when Aaron laid his hands on the head of that goat and confessed the sins of the people then the children of Israel sins would be put on the head of that goat (Lev. 16:20-22). And according to 1Peter 2:24 Jesus bore our sins in his own body. He bore the sins of the whole world (John 1:29 1John 2:2). Notice, the word says Jesus bore our sins and in Isaiah 53:4 it says he bore(same word) our griefs(diseases and sicknesses) and carried our sorrows(pains and anguish). So, God sees you through the finished works of Jesus that's why God can say that by the stripes of Jesus you were(past tense) healed. Because, God knows what Jesus has already done for us. Now, we need to get a better understanding of all Jesus has done for us.
Through the act of Jesus taking our place God looked down through time and whatever was heading for you has already been put on Jesus for him to bare, so it's not God trying to teach you something with sickness. Because, Jesus has been punished in your place so it is illegal for him to put it on you when Jesus has already taken it/paid the price for you. And on the subject just think about this for a minute God set the price for our healing (Isa. 53:4,5), sent Jesus to pay the price (1John 2:2), and accepted Jesus blood as payment. And how could God who is holy and righteous now put it on you or withhold it from you. For example you go to a store let's say to by a hat and the hat costs $10.00 and you pay the $10.00 they can't withhold the hat from you that is illegal. They can't accept the payment and keep the product. When payment is made the product must be released. God is not keeping healing from you or anyone.

Hear And Be Healed
When in need of healing there are two things that are very important. And they are the words you take in and the words you speak out. In Proverbs 4:20-23 God gives specific instructions to attend to his words, incline your ear unto his sayings, let them not depart from your eyes, keep them in the midst of your heart. Notice, where it says to keep the word, in your heart. In Act 14:7-10 it speaks of a man that was impotent in his feet, being a cripple from his mother's womb. It says this man heard Paul speak and Paul perceived that the man had faith to be healed and called out, "Stand upright on thy feet." And the man that was a cripple leaped and walked just by hearing the word. How could that have happened, because in Mark chapter 4 Jesus told a parable of a man that went out to sow seed. The seed was the word and the ground was the heart(spirit) of man. Notice, when the seed fell on good ground the seed yielded fruit. So, while the man was listening seed was being sown in the ground of his spirit. And the seeds that was sown yielded fruit.
That's why Jesus said, "Take heed what ye hear." Because when you hear seed is being sown. And when seed is sown in good ground it will yield fruit. In Proverbs 4:23 it warns you to guard your heart(spirit) with all diligence for out of it are the issues of life. Because, the spirit of a man is like soil. What is sown in it you will have the fruit of it. So, if you sow the seeds of healing you will have the fruit of healing. Notice, in Proverbs 15:30 it says that a good report maketh the bones fat(healthy). What is a good report, it's a report in line with God's word. Notice, in Isaiah 53:1 it says, "Who hath believed our report?" You have to believe God's report. In Numbers 13 Moses sent out 12 spies to spy out the land that God had promised to them and after 40 days they came back to report about the land. Notice, what 10 of the spies said, they said the cities are walled, the people are great, we are like grasshoppers and the whole congregation lifted up their voice and cried and wept that night. They accepted in them the report of the 10 spies. But, notice what the other 2 said Caleb and Joshua, "Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it." "If the Lord delight in us, then he will bring us into this land, and give it to us: their defence is departed from them, and the Lord is with us: fear them not." But, the people didn't accept their report they said, "Would God that we have died in the land of Egypt! or would God that we had died in this wilderness!" They also said, "And wherefore hath the Lord brought us into this land, to fall by the sword, that our wives and our children should be a prey? were it not better for us to return into Egypt?" And notice God's response, "As ye have spoken in mine ears, so will I do to you: Your carcases shall fall in this wilderness; and all that were numbered of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years old and upward, which have murmured against me. Doubtless ye shall not come into the land, concerning which I sware to make you dwell therein, save Caleb the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua the son of Nun." Notice, had they received Caleb's and Joshua's report they would have possessed the land. Notice, their words played a big part in what they all received.
And in receiving healing your words play a big part in what you receive. Notice, in Proverbs 4:22 it says God's word is health to all your flesh. That word health is translated medicine, remedy, cure, and healing. And when your words are in line with God's word they will be health to all of your flesh. Proverbs 12:18 says,"But the tongue(words) of the wise is health." Proverbs 15:4 says, "A wholesome(healing) tongue is a tree of life." Proverbs 16:24 says, "Pleasant words are as an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones." So, what words are you speaking. Notice, in Joshua 1:8 it says do not let the word of God depart out of your mouth, it should stay in your mouth. Make his words your words. Like, Hebrews 10:23 says, "Let us hold fast the profession/confession of our faith without wavering;(for he is faithful that promised). That word confession means to say the same thing. Keep hearing and speaking God's report and you will bring forth fruit with patience (Luke 8:15). What is God's report- Surely he hath borne our griefs(disease,sickness) and carried our sorrows(pain,affliction). The chastisement of our peace was upon him and with his stripes we are healed (Isaiah 53:4,5). Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes we were(past tense) healed (1Peter 2:24). He sent his word and healed them (Psalm 107:20). Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name. Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases (Psalm 103:1-3).
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).

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 is seed and the fruit of that seed is healing. And the seed of the word planted and watered will produce. I've heard testimonies of people that has followed that and been healed and I myself have followed that and been healed. And in Acts 14:7-10 it tells you of a man that was lame, but he heard Paul preach and when the word got in him Paul perceived he had faith to be healed and he said, "Stand up on thy feet" and he stood up. The word always works.

The Word Will Turn Your Body
God's word causes/makes all contrary things come in line with it. You see that in Genesis 1 when there was darkness God said, "Light be" and there was light. Everything God released his word to do everything that was contrary with it came in line with it. And when God authorizes you to speak something and you speak it beleiving then everything will line up with it. God told Abram that he would make him a father of many nations, but notice his body was dead and his wife's womb was dead (Romans 4:19). So, what did God do he changed their names to Abraham(father of a multitude) and Sarah(Princess of nations). Notice, their names were changed to match what God said he would do. And their bodies lined up with it. Abraham was not weak in faith, but was strong in faith (Romans 4:19,20).
Look at Jesus, he only spoke the word of God and when he released it believing all contrary conditions lined up with it. When a man couldn't walk Jesus would tell him, "Rise, take up thy bed, and go thy way into thine house" and they did. A man with a withered hand and Jesus told him, "Stretch forth thine hand" and he did. When a woman was barren God would send her a word that she would have a child and they did. God said that a virgin shall conceive and bring forth a son and she did. All conditions give way to the word of God. And you have been authorized to speak God's word because the scripture says, "Let us hold fast the profession(confession) of our faith."
James 3 is an excellent chapter that shows you the effect your words have on your body. Verses 3 and 4 says, "Behold, we put bits in the horses' mouths, that they may obey us; and we turn about their whole body." "Behold also the ships, which though they be so great, and are driven of fierce winds, yet are they turned about with a very small helm, whithersoever the govenor listeth." What are these verses saying, in verse 4 the tongue of the horse is used to control the body, he's showing you the comparison with your tongue. In verse 5 he's saying you(spirit you) are the governor, your body is the ship because it's how you get around in this physical world. And the rudder is the tongue. So, if you want to turn your ship change your words. And did you notice that no matter how fierce the winds are the ship goes where you guide it.
Isn't that what Abraham and Sarah did when God changed their names. Notice, God gives you something to say to change your body. Why, because Romans 1:16 says that the word of God is the power of God. So, if you hold fast to your confession of faith the power of God will turn your body. In Proverbs 4: 20-22 it instructs you to keep the word in your eyes, ears, and mouth for it is health to your flesh. That word health is translated as medicine, healing, remedy, and cure. The words you speak are vital to the condition of your body. Psalm 103:5 says, "Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things(words); so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's. Notice, it didn't say God satisfieth you, no he said your mouth. He uses the mouth to turn the body. So, hold fast to your confession of faith.

Plant Your Healing
God has created a process by which He supplies all you need. In this instance I'm going to concentrate on healing. It is the kingdom of God process which operates on the principle of sowing and reaping (Mark 4:26-28). In Genesis 1:11,12 & 2:5,6 we see God giving the seed, soil, and water their assignment and ability. Every seed has the ability to become something. The soil increases the seed into it's full potential. And the rain/water makes the soil increase the seed to it's full potential (Isaiah 55:10).
And all of these things working together will produce something. If I plant a rose seed in the ground and water it the potential in that seed will go to work and continue to work until it's potential is fulfilled. It's the same thing with God's word. Mark 4:3 says, "Hearken; Behold, there went out a sower to sow." Mark 4:14 says, "The sower soweth the word", that's the seed. Mark 4:15 says, "Satan cometh immediately, and taketh away the word that was sown in their hearts", that's the soil. And Ephesians 5:26 says, "That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word", it's also the water.
So, how do I plant the word and water it, by hearing it. 1Corinthians 3:6,7 says, "I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase." "So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase." You can speak the word yourself. Romans 10:8 says, "But what saith it? The Word Is Nigh Thee Even In Thy Mouth, And In Thy Heart: that is the word of faith which we preach." The first time the word is deposited that's the planting each time after that is watering.
That's the same principle of Proverbs 4:20-23 your eyes, ears, and mouth are entrances to your heart/soil. That is instructions to plant and water the seed. And the seed is powerful for Romans 1:16 says, the word of God is the power of God. Well, the word of God being the power of God means it has the power to do something because God is all powerful which means He has the power to do all things and God and his word are one. John 1:1 says, "In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God, and the word was God". God heals and his word heals. The word health in verse 22 in the hebrew is marpe translated as- medicine, healing, remedy, and cure. And that word was taken from another hebrew word rapha (which is a covenant name of God, Jehovah-rapha The Lord our healer) which means- to mend, to cure, cause to heal, physician, repair, make whole. The Lord is our physician and every physician has his medicine. Psalm 107:20 say, "He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions."
God put his healing power in the seed. Just as He did in the natural Genesis 1:11,12 He doesn't have to speak to create any more trees the seeds now do the work. What God did by speaking man now does by planting and watering. So, every seed represents something God has already done. Because if God hasn't already done it you can't have a seed of it. God's word says, "Surely he hath borne our griefs(diseases, sicknesses) and carried our sorrows(anguish,afflictions,pains)" "The chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed". That was Isaiah looking ahead to the cross. And 1Peter 2:24 is Peter looking back at the cross and says, "By whose stripes ye were healed." Notice, Peter states it as an accomplished act and not something to be done in the future. Now, what's our part take the seed and plant and water it. You have to speak as God has said it and not how you see it. 2Corinthians 4:18 says, "While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal(changeable); but the things which are not seen are eternal(ever lasting). So, the unseen things are real or else how could you look at them. What is seen, your conditions. What is not seen, what Jesus did for you by the shedding of his blood. That's what God did with Abraham and Sarah. He changed their names to get them talking in line with what He said. Even though their bodies were in contrary conditions. Romans 4:19 says, "And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither the deadness of Sarah's womb." But, by the planting and watering of the seed their bodies changed.
You see the same principle in Acts 14:7-10 a man impotent in his feet sat and heard Paul preach(plant & water) and when Paul perceived that the man had faith he told the man to stand up and he leaped up and walked. Nobody prayed for him, or laid hands on him, or called upon the name of Jesus, just him and the word did the job. Remember, it was Paul that said, "I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase." Even I myself have my own testimony, I myself followed those same principles. When that sickness attacked my body I spoke the way God said it and not how it was in the natural. Romans 4:17 says, God calls things that be not (manifested) as though they were (manifested). And that's the same thing God told Abraham and Sarah to do. That's what God said to do in Joel 3:10 "Let the weak say I am strong." And that's what I did, "By the stripes of Jesus I am healed." I spoke the way God said it was. I put my eyes on the word, I listened to the word, I kept the word in the midst of my heart and out of my heart/spirit/soil came my healing.
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.

"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?
