Healing Power is in Your Tongue

Creative power was in God’s mouth. It is in your mouth also.

Now that doesn’t mean you’re going to go out and create a world. But you can create a different world that you live in by the words of your mouth, by speaking faith-filled words instead of speaking words of fear.

Fear is the reverse gear of faith.

Fear is produced by believing wrong things. Fear is faith in the enemy’s ability.

Jesus said, “A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things...” (Matt. 12:35).

Where do the good things of life come from?

Jesus said they come out of your heart. He didn’t say they come from staying up late hours and working your fingers to the bones. He said the good things of life come out of your heart, whatever you store there, the information you program your spirit with will produce for you. It always produces after its kind. Faith produces faith. Fearful words produce fear in abundance.

When I talk about the spirit, I’m talking about the heart. The heart and the spirit are the same. The way you program your spirit with the Word of God is by saying the thing God said about you in His Word. Imitate God. Say the same thing He said. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.

One of the chronic problems in the church world today is failing to recognize the authority of the WORD. At the first symptom of sickness you hear them say, “I am sick.”

James 4:7 says, “Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” To be submitted to God is to be submitted to His Word. YOU be submitted to God. YOU be submitted to His Word.

Jesus resisted Satan with the spoken word. Matthew chapter 4, verses 4, 7 and 10 say, “But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.” Verse 7, “Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.” Verse 10, “Then saith Jesus unto him; Get thee hence, satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.” He spoke to Satan and he left.

He Bare Our Sickness and Sin

Let’s read 1 Peter 2:24, “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.”

The Word says you were healed. Sickness is a curse of the law, and Galatians 3:13 says, “Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us.”

Matthew 8:17 says, “That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses.” He took your infirmities and bare your sicknesses. Learn to read the scriptures with a personal identification. Isaiah 53:5 says, “with his stripes we are healed.” With His stripes you are healed.

Someone said, “Yes, but you don’t understand. I don’t feel healed and I really don’t look healed.”

That person has been programmed by the world system, the five physical senses. The Word is not in them. They may know about the Word, they may even believe the Word is true, but until it becomes a part of them, it is not in them.

Yes, I do understand. You are motivated by your feelings and not by the Word of God.

It is very simple to resist the devil, once you have been programmed by the Word of God. God and His WORD are one. They agree.

Learn to rise to the level of God’s Word by quoting what God said. Then you can boldly say, “According to the Word of God, I am not sick. Jesus took my sickness, He bore it for me; therefore I receive my healing through the Word.”

Just as sure as Jesus bore your sins, He also bore your sickness. You have no more right to allow sickness to operate in your body than you do sin.

Develop Your Faith

If you have not developed your faith in the Word to the level where you can receive your healing through the Word, then use medical science’s healing, but don’t allow sickness and disease to lord it over you. Use whatever means you must to get rid of it, but don’t let it dominate you. If you have to take pills to get your healing, then every time you have to take one, say, “I take this pill in the Name of Jesus.” You will find the Name of Jesus will make your pills work twice as good.

Don’t let Satan condemn you over taking medicine. God wants you well. If your faith is not developed to that point, for God’s sake, don’t suffer 39 years and say you trusted the Lord. No—if you suffered 39 years you missed it somewhere. That is not God’s will for you. Get some medical help, get back on your feet, then get in the Word of God and find out where you missed it. Learn to control circumstances, instead of allowing them to control you.

A few years ago a man said to me, “I wouldn’t ask you to pray for me; I am taking medicine.”

You can see how Satan has conned many good Christians into believing that if they are taking medicine they wouldn’t dare use prayer too. He realizes he can’t keep you from using both so he set out to convince you that prayer and medicine are opposed to each other. The truth is both prayer and medicine are fighting the same evil (sickness and diseases).

Of course, God’s best for you is for you to develop your faith to the point that you receive healing through prayer and the Word of God. But not everyone’s faith is developed to that level. That is one of the reasons God gave men medical knowledge. He wants people well even though they don’t know how to operate in the Word.

God Wants You Well

Say this right now, “God wants me well” (3 John 2).

Say it again, loud, “God wants me well.”

Confess God’s Word to your body daily. Yes — talk to it. Sometimes your body wants to be sick. Don’t let it. Jesus said you can have what you say, so take time to fill your heart (spirit) with God’s Word.
