Take a Daily Dose of God’s Word

For they [God’s words] are life to those who find them and health to all their flesh. -Proverbs 4:22

One day Janet and I were talking to a man who was badly in need of healing in his physical body. We advised him, “Feed on the Word daily. Take your daily dose of God’s medicine. If you’d take God’s Word as faithfully as you take other medicines, we guarantee you that there isn’t a sickness or disease that can stay in your body. God’s Word is medicine to all your flesh.”

The man replied, “Oh, I’ve been studying the Bible every day. I’ve been doing a thorough study on the book of Revelation.”

But the man needed to understand that every seed produces after its own kind. In other words, he needed healing in his body, so the best thing for him to study was healing.

Thank God for the book of Revelation. It will get you ready to go on to heaven. But if you’re sick, right now you need to know how to live in victory over sickness on this earth. So if you need healing in your body, feed on healing Scriptures. Whatever you feed on is what you will have faith for.

And realize that even if you fed on healing Scriptures last week, last month or last year, that Word gave you faith for your answer then. However, that doesn’t mean you will have strong faith for the answer you need today. Faith comes by hearing the Word on a daily basis.

“Well, Brother, I’ve heard that before,” I hear people sometimes say. When people say that, you can tell that their faith isn’t working.

You see, it isn’t what you have heard, it’s what you are hearing that counts. Even if you heard healing taught a week or a month ago, a lot of unbelief may have been pumped into your spirit through your ears since then. That’s why what you are hearing now is what counts.

So what are you listening to these days? A good dose of God’s Word or a lot of doubt and unbelief? The answer to that question makes all the difference to your receiving healing.

CONFESSION:

When I need healing, I go to God’s Word and build healing Scriptures into my spirit. My body is healed as the Word becomes life to me.
