If you are suffering from some sickness in your body I want to encourage you that there is healing. I want to look at a scripture that I have had personal experiences with. Proverbs 4:20-23 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. That word health is translated medicine, remedy, healing, cure.
The word is healing so it’s not something that you have to wait for God to do, but something that you receive by following his instructions. Think about it, just like in the natural when you have a cold or a headache you go to the store and buy some aspirin or some cold medicine, you take it with the understanding that if you take it as directed the ingredients in it is designed to take care of your problem. And I’m telling you the word of God is designed to deal with any sickness. For Romans 1:16 says, the word of God is the power of God unto salvation. Do not limit that word salvation, in the Greek it is translated-healing, deliverance, preservation, wholeness. What sickness can resist the power of God. Understand what God is saying, in Luke 8:11 in the parable of the sower it says, "The seed is the word of God.” So, the word of God is seed and that’s how you have to treat it. The first time you hear the word that’s sowing and all other times you hear the word is watering.
In 1Corinthians 3:6 it says, "I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.” So, God increases the seed that’s sown and watered. When a seed is sown and watered it releases what’s in it. The seed of the word releases the power of God that’s in it when it is sown and watered. In Acts 14:8-10 there is an instance of a man that was impotent in his feet that sat listening to Paul preach and when Paul perceived he had faith to be healed, he said with a loud voice, "Stand upright on thy feet” and the man leaped and walked. This man got healed just listening to the word. Well, if he could then you can now. Nobody prayed for him. Nobody laid hands on him. Nobody called on the name of Jesus for him, but it was the word that did it. Keep the word in your eyes, ears, and mouth and it will do the same for you.
