Look at God's word!
Ps. 103:1-3
Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name. Forget not all his benefits: who forgives all your iniquities; who heals all your diseases.
Exodus 15:26
I am the Lord who heals you.
In this statement, He gave the children of Isreal one of His redemptive names. He said, I am Jehovah-Rapha,that is, I am the Lord, your physician, your healer. What a wonderful, universal promise this is regarding physical or mental trouble of any kind.
1 Peter 2:24 By whose stripes you were healed. James 5:14 Is any sick among you? let that person call... James states, after affirming that the prayer of faith shall save the sick, that is the sick person has committed sins, they shall be forgiven. If only the victim of sin and sickness, who has come to Jesus for deliverance, will have faith enough to believe it, he or she will be free in body, free in spirit, healed within and healed without. The word of God is written so that we can understand and be sure what the will of God is.
Do you believe Jesus forgives all your sins? Then also believe Jesus heals all your sickness and disease.
John 8:32 You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. Freedom from sickness comes from knowing the truth. God does nothing without His word.
Psalms 107:20 He sent his word and it healed them.
All his work is done in faithfullness to His promises.
Heb. 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
Romans 10:17 Faith comes by hearing the word of God.
When in prayer, we definitely commit to God the forgiveness of our sins, we are to believe, on the authority of His word, that our prayer is heard. We are to do the same when praying for healing.
Proverbs 4:20-22 Attend to my words; incline your ear to my sayings. Let them not depart from your eyes; keep them in the midst of your heart. For they are life to those that find them, and health to all their flesh.
God tells us exactly how to attend to His words. Let them not depart from your eyes. Instead of having your eyes on the symptoms and being occupied with them, let not God's words depart from your eyes; that is, look at them continually and , like Abraham, be strong in faith by looking at the promises of God and at nothing else.
Gods word is seed to be planted deep within our hearts. Luke 8:11 Jesus said, The word is the seed.
It is the seed of divine life. Until you are sure from God's word that it is His will to heal you , you are trying to reap a harvest where no seed has been planted. It would be impossible for a farmer to have faith for a harvest before seed was planted.
When we attend to God's words by not letting them depart from before our eyes and by keeping them in the middle of our hearts, the seed is in good ground, the kind of ground in which Jesus says, it brings forth fruit, and where Paul says, it works effectively. When the farmer puts seed into the ground, he does not dig it up everyday to see how it is doing. He believes that the seed has begun its work. Why not have the same faith in the imperishable seed, Christ's words, which He says are spirit and life, and believe that they are already doing their work, without waiting for visual evidence. When your eyes are on your symptoms and your mind is occupied with them more than with God's word, you have planted the wrong kind of seed for the harvest that you desire. You have in your mind seeds of doubt. You are trying to raise one kind of crop form another kind of seed. It is impossible to sow tares and reap wheat. Your symptoms may point you to death, but God's word points you to life, and you cannot look in these opposite directions at the same time. After you plant seed, you believe it is growing even before you see it. This is faith, which is the evidence of things not seen. In Christ, we have perfect evidence for faith. Any person can get rid of their doubts by looking steadfastly and only at the evidence which God has given for our faith. Saying only what God says will produce and increase faith. This will make it easier to believe than to doubt; the evidences for faith are much stronger than those for doubting. Don't doubt your faith; doubt your doubts, for they are unreliable.
Only Gods word is Reliable!
Matt.8:17 Himself bore our sicknesses and 1 Peter 2:24 Who his own self bore our sins in his own body on the tree.... So we would not have to! Amen! Praise the Lord! Thankyou Jesus!
As Jesus Said...Be healed! Go and sin no more!
