Psalm 107:20
He sent His word and healed them,
And delivered them from their destructions
FATHER’S Word is HIS uncompromising Divine Intent expressed to us for our benefit. HIS Word is more important than all the words of mankind combined for their words are derived in some aspect, but from HIM and HIS Word comes all of the creative power and authority in the universe. The Beloved Disciple wrote by THE SPIRIT in John chapter 1:
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 He was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.
4 In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.
5 And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.
Our challenge is to be fully led by HIS Word and SPIRIT rather than man’s doctrines of darkness and lack of comprehension of The Word. Man’s alternative thinking leads to independence from FATHER and ultimately results in a doctrine of death and destruction. FATHER placed in each of us the ability to not only receive HIS Word but to also abide in HIS Word. HE gave us the capacity to walk in faith according to what we believe but it is up to each of us to determine our path. We are told by Jesus, the manifested Word Who dwelt among us, to become fruit inspectors which provides us the key to the correct path to take. Jesus Christ is the door to that path and that path is called “The Way”, The Truth, and The Life. In John chapter 14 Jesus clearly stated:
6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”
Jesus went about declaring FATHER’S Word of life to those who had ears to hear. As a result He healed and delivered them from sickness and disease. Faith comes by hearing the Word of GOD and man gets his healing by responding and acting upon The Word. This action is called faith and healing belongs to the believer. As we fully embrace The Word, our spirits align with FATHER’S Divine Intent of Love and then our bodies align with our spirits.
One might ask why I am not receiving my healing? If would appear that there is some type of “leakage” preventing our restoration. What is causing the “leakage” in receiving our healing? We must hold on to our great confession as it is written by THE SPIRIT in Hebrews 4:
14 Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession.
15 For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin.
16 Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
We must overcome our mind’s logic which has been reinforced by the world’s traditions throughout our life. Oftentimes our mind has been strengthened at the expense of our spirit, especially in the area of healing. Believers tend to have no issue with salvation for its culmination is generally viewed to be in the future, upon physical death. We must remember “Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.” Within salvation is healing and restoration.
We must strengthen ourselves in the absolute integrity of Scripture and this is done by declaring HIS Word personally in our lives thus holding fast our confession. We are told to meditate of FATHER’S Word day and night, not occasionally. In Joshua chapter 1 FATHER spoke:
8 “This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.
9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.”
This Word expresses FATHER’S Divine Intent toward us as well as it did Joshua, nothing has changed. We must dwell and meditate on it, declare it with our mouth so our ears hear our voice and believe it above all else. HIS Word must become more alive to us than man’s traditions and customs which have infiltrated our minds. We must quit speaking words of unbelief for our spirit hears this unbelief and is designed to respond to what we say. In John chapter 8 Jesus affirmed:
25 Then they said to Him, “Who are You?”
And Jesus said to them, “Just what I have been saying to you from the beginning.
26 I have many things to say and to judge concerning you, but He who sent Me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I heard from Him.”
27 They did not understand that He spoke to them of the Father.
28 Then Jesus said to them, “When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am He, and that I do nothing of Myself; but as My Father taught Me, I speak these things.
29 And He who sent Me is with Me. The Father has not left Me alone, for I always do those things that please Him.”
The redemptive work of Christ can be summed up as the receiving of the new creation- of receiving the life and nature of Our Heavenly Father. Let us declare “FATHER is the Source of all strength in my life. Surely Jesus has borne our sicknesses and carried our sorrows; He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; And by His stripes I am healed.” It exists now in the spirit and expect the body to align with the spirit, not the reverse.
Faith holds fast to the confession of The Word. Sense knowledge holds fast to the confession of the physical evidences. Which one do we hold in the highest esteem? Will we believe the physical over the Spiritual? Some say “seeing is believing” which promotes doubt in the Spiritual. Let us declare FATHER’S Word to be the final say in our life, we must doubt not in our heart. HE spoke to Joshua and gave him the key: meditate on THE Word, observe to do It, and you will make your way prosperous in all areas. Let us speak to our issues by declaring HIS Word which has power and authority over every aspect of the physical realm.
