God Has Changed Your Diagnosis

  What do I mean God has changed your diagnosis?  In Genesis 17:4,5 God told Abraham that He had made him a father of many nations, but in Romans 4:19 the scripture says that his body was dead and his wife's womb was dead.  Now, we know you can't physically be a father of many nations when you have a dead body and your wife's womb is dead.  Despite that God said He had made him a father of many nations which means that God had to have done something about his and her bodies.  Now, here's what you need to understand, God did not physically make him a father of many nations, but that's what he was in the spirit.  Don't make the mistake of thinking of the spirit realm as less real than the physical realm.  The spirit realm was first and the physical realm came out of the spirit realm.  So, without the spirit realm there would be no physical realm.  Now, when God does something in the spirit it has the ability to be manifested physically.  Take God himself for example, John 4:24 says that God is a spirit and yet 1 Timothy 3:16 says that God(who is spirit) was manifested in the flesh(physical).  Notice, what the word calls Jesus in John 1:14 the word(spirit) made flesh(physical).


Notice, even though God did something in the spirit it had no affect on him nor his wife physically because his body was still dead and her womb was still dead.  Because when God does something for you in the spirit it's up to you to receive it by faith.  But, what people do a lot of times is wait for God to do it physically.  They wait until their senses can detect something before they believe God has done something.  Notice, they had nothing in the natural to tell them that God had done something.  That's why when it's by faith you don't look to your body to tell you if God has done something but, the word.  The word tells you what God has done not your body.  Your body can tell you when you have received something not if God has done something.  Notice, in Romans 4:19 it says that Abraham did not consider the deadness of his body nor the deadness of Sarah's womb.  He didn't put his focus on this physical realm.  That's  what the word says in 2 Corinthians 4:17,18 17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;

18 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; but the things which are not seen are eternal.  Notice, in verse 18 while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen so even though it's not seen(spiritual) he still calls it a thing which means it exists.


Notice, what God did He changed their names to fit what He promised for Abraham means-father of a multitude and Sarah means-Princess of nations.  It's very important that you line your words with God's word even when things don't look like it.  Romans 4:17 speaks of God calls things that be not as though they were.  God call things that are not(manifested) as though they were(manifested).  And that's what He is having them to do because physically they were not that.  Just like in Joel 3:10 the scripture says, Let the weak say I am strong.  Notice, God knows you may be weak physically, but He says don't speak that say I am strong.  Well, the scripture says that the Lord is our strength and we know there is no weakness in God.  Notice, what God is doing trying to get people to stop speaking natural facts and start speaking spiritual truth.  Because, God works with your words so that makes your words very important.  In Numbers 14:1-4 when the people murmured against Moses and Aaron notice God's response, He told the people that as you have spoken in my ears so will I do unto you.  In Titus 1:3 it says that God manifests his word through preaching.  That word preaching means to proclaim or speak out.  Well, that's in line with what He says in Isaiah 57:19, I create the fruit of the lips.  And in Proverbs 18:21 it says, Death and life are in the power of the tongue and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.  So, your words are very important in receiving from God.


In 1 Corinthians 1:28 it says that God hath chosen to use things which are not to bring to nought(nothing) things that are.  God uses things which are not(manifested) that's spiritual things to bring to nothing things that are (manifested)that's physical things.  God uses spiritual things to get rid of physical things by your words.  Remember Abraham and Sarah they had to speak in line with what God said.  Remember Joel 3:10 they were told to speak in line with what the word says.  And it's important that you speak in line with what the word says and not present circumstances.  God used "A father of many nations have I made thee" to get rid of the deadness in his body by his words.  God used what the word says that God is our strength to get rid of weakness by their words.  Because, in Isaiah 55:11 God says that his word shall not return to him void(without producing), but shall accomplish that which He pleases.  His word returns to him by you speaking it and He tells you in Hebrews 10:23 to hold fast to your confession of faith.  That word confession means to say the same thing so you are to hold fast to saying the same thing as God in faith because God is faithful.  Hold fast to your confession that with his stripes I am healed (Isaiah 53:5).   Hold fast to your confession of faith that himself took my infirmities and bore my sicknesses (Matt. 8:17).  Hold fast to your confession of faith that by his stripes I was healed (1 Peter 2:24).  Hold fast to your confession of faith that Christ has redeemed me from the curse of the law (Galatians 3:13).  That is done in the spirit right now.  And God will use those things to get rid of your condition by your words.  I am a first hand witness, when sickness attacked my body I held fast to my confession of faith and in a matter of time God manifested his word, He used what the word says about my healing to bring to nought what was going on in my body and I am still free all thanks be to God.


It is not God's will that any should perish (2 Peter 3:9).  And I wouldn't want to end this article without giving someone the opportunity to receive Jesus as their Lord and Savior.  It's very easy just pray:  Dear God- I know I have sinned and I now turn from them and I invite Jesus to come into my heart (Revelation 3:20).  He died for my sins and you have raised him from the dead and I now confess that Jesus is my Lord and Savior (Romans 10:9,10).  I thank you for saving me, Amen

Healing From Your Spirit To Your Flesh

 In dealing with healing it's easy to get focused on what's happening in the body, but that's actually the opposite of what The Bible teaches.  Because, actually it's what's going on in your spirit that's most important.  Because, The Bible teaches that you prosper outside according to how you prosper inside. Notice, in 3John 2 it says, Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.  Man is spirit, soul, and body.  You are spirit and you have a soul(inside of your spirit) and you live in a body.


Notice, what Jesus was known for saying, "According to your faith so be it unto you", "As thou hast believed so be it done unto you" or "Your faith has made you whole".  All of those instances referred to healing in the body, but faith is an operation of the inside, the spirit.  As they prospered inside(spirit) they prospered outside(body).  God told Joshua in Joshua 1:8, This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.  Paul says in Romans 10:8, But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach.  First, the word is in your mouth and that word will get in your heart(spirit).


Notice, how God says you make your way prosperous and have good success by the word you keep in your mouth, you do it from the inside out.  Well, Proverbs 4:20-23 says, 20 My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings.  21 Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart.  22 For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh.  23 Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.  That word health is translated medicine, remedy, healing, and cure.  Notice, it says to keep the word in the midst of your heart(inside) and those words can be medicine to your flesh(outside).


Take Abraham and Sarah for example God told Abraham that him and his wife would have a son, but his body was dead and her womb was dead.  So, God changed their names from Abram-high father to Abraham-father of a multitude and from Sarai-my princess to Sarah-princess of the multitude.  God had them to do the Proverbs 4:20-23 process which works from the inside out.  They had to speak the word in and then speak the word out. Jesus said it this way,  A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.  And those are the words that are medicine(healing) to your flesh that work from the inside out.

God's Operation Of Healing

 One thing about receiving your healing from God is knowing how he operates, because when you know how he operates then you can cooperate with him.  And in 1Corinthians 1:28 it tells you, God has chosen things which are not, to bring to nought(nothing) things that are.  When it says things that are not it is not talking about things that don't exist, it's talking about things that are not manifested because if it didn't exist you couldn't call it a thing.  So, God has chosen things that are not manifested (spiritual) to bring to nothing things that are manifested (physical).  God operates at a level that is not detectable by the senses that's why you have to walk by faith and not by sight (senses).  And if you don't know that then you could spend your time waiting on God to do something that's already done.


Notice, in Genesis 17:4,5 it says, 4 As for me, behold, my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of many nations.  5 Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made thee.  And in verse 15 it says, 15 And God said unto Abraham, As for Sarai thy wife, thou shalt not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall her name be.  Abraham means father of a multitude and Sarah means Princess of nations.  Notice, in verse 5 God told Abraham, "For a father of many nations have I made thee."   Now, God told him that while his body was dead and his wife's womb was dead (Romans 4:19).  So, he was not that physically, but he was that in the spirit.  Don't think of the spiritual as not real or less real.  John 4:24  says, God is a spirit and yet God that is a spirit was manifest in the flesh (1Timothy 3:16).  Is God any less real as spirit as when he was manifested. That which is spiritual can be manifested physically by a release of faith.  And the main way you release your faith is by your words.


How was God manifested in the flesh, Isaiah spoke the word God gave him, "Behold, a virgin shall conceive and bear a son."  Now, we know it takes something from a man and a woman to have a child.  Once God spoke that it was done in the spirit.  And in Luke 1 the angel brought that same word to Mary, "Behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son" and Mary said, "Be it unto me according to thy word."  She spoke what she believed, she released her faith for in verse 45 her cousin Elizabeth said, "And blessed is she that believed:  for there shall be a performance of those things that were told her from the Lord."  And notice, in John 1:14 the scripture calls Jesus the word (spiritual) made flesh (physical).


So, when God said, "For a father of many nations have I made thee" that was spiritual and it was up to them to receive that by faith.  Notice, in Romans 4:20 it says that Abraham was strong in faith and Hebrews 11:11 says, that through faith Sara received strength to conceive seed.  Everytime they heard or spoke their names they just didn't hear their names, but also the promise God made them.  That was the purpose of changing their names to get them hearing and speaking in line with the promise.  But, notice God chose what was not manifested(for a father of many nations have I made thee) to bring to nothing what was manifested (Abraham considered not the deadness of his body nor the deadness of Sarah's womb) Romans 4:19.  


Another way God operates is in Romans 4:17, it says God calls things that be not (manifested) as though they were (manifested).  Isn't that what he told Abraham and Sarah to do.  Notice, God's method of operating is to speak it before you see it.  But, the average person wants to see it and then speak it.  Understand God's method, the word calleth is translated to incite by word.  The word incite means to cause to act or occur.  So when you call things that be not as though they were you cause them to occur, you cause them to happen.  So, if you don't want to speak things before you see them you may never see them.  How was God manifested in the flesh, words.  He was spoken of first before he was manifested.  So, when God says 1Peter 2:24, "By whose stripes you were healed" that's how it is in the spirit and you are going to have to speak that even when your body may be totally contrary.  In James 3 it says 2 For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body.  3 Behold, we put bits in the horses' mouths, that they may obey us; and we turn about their whole body.  4 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.  


Your words are very important in receiving healing.  Notice, the connection God makes with the tongue and the body that you bridle your body by controlling your tongue.  Notice, you control the horse's body by it's tongue.  Understand what he is saying in verse 4, the ship is your body, you are the governor (spirit man), and your tongue is the helm it's what controls the ship.  Did you notice even though something is coming against the ship it goes where the governor directs.  Your words are so important that Proverbs talks about your words being health(medicine, healing, remedy, cure) to your flesh.  But, they will only be health to your flesh when they are in line with God's words.  That's why in Hebrews 10:23 it says to hold fast to your confession of faith.  Confession means to say the same thing, so a confession of faith will always be in line with God's word.  Because your faith should always be based of the word of God and not conditions or circumstances.  So, your words are very important, use them wisely.

Corona The Blood Has Been Waiting On You

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).
