His Word Is The Answer
Fools because of their transgression, and because
of their iniquities, are afflicted. Their soul
abhorreth all manner of meat; and they draw near
unto the gates of death. Then they cry unto the
LORD in their trouble, and he saveth them out of
their distresses. He sent his word, and healed them,
and delivered them from their destructions
(Psalm 107:17-20).
The Word of God is the power of God. That
power produces healing and health for the one
who’s sick. If you were in a church service for example,
sitting under the ministry or influence of the Word, and
you desired healing for your body, you don’t need to
wait for any special moment of prayer. There’s healing
for you in the Word. The healing begins the instant you
open your heart to receive the Word.
Read our theme scripture again; it gives the horrid
picture of those who were in trouble. But then, we
read something very striking and comforting in the
penultimate verse. It says, they “...cry unto the LORD
in their trouble, and he saveth them out of their
distresses.” How exactly did the Lord save them? He
sent His Word, and healed them! His answer to their
pain and distress was His Word! That’s His answer to
whatever trouble anyone is facing?His Word!
It makes no difference what the trouble is, if you’d
take a hold of God’s Word, there’ll be a change. It
works for sickness, disease, and infirmities, as it works
for bankruptcy, failure at school, family problems, etc.
We didn’t read in our theme scripture that God sent
prayer to heal them; so, it wasn’t about prayer.
Maybe you’re going through some difficulties right
now in your body; receive the Word of God into your
spirit. Declare, “The same Spirit that raised up Jesus
from the dead, lives in me, and has given life to my
physical body. I’m vitalized through and through by
the Holy Spirit who lives in me.”
Give attention to God’s Word, and your healing
will be as sure as the Word is sure. Proverbs 4:22
(MSG) says, “Those who discover these words live,
really live; body and soul, they’re bursting with
health.”
Prayer
Dear Father, I’ve received your Word into my spirit today,
and I’m cleansed and vitalized through and through, from the
crown of my head to the soles of my feet. Every fibre of my being
is inundated with divine life, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
