Hook Up With What God Says

Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight, O Lord, my strength and my Redeemer. -Psalm 19:14

When I first found out that you can have what you say, I just shut up for about three weeks. I thought, If I get what I’ve been saying, I’m in trouble! For instance, when I was in high school, I was a good driver. But, like everyone else in my family, I drove too fast. I remember just laughingly saying, “Boy, the way I drive, Ill never live to be thirty years old!”

I thought it was funny back then. When I found out what the Bible said, though, I adjusted what I said. I said, “The way I drive, I’ll live to be 125.” (Of course, I had to change a few driving habits too!)

We all need to stop and listen to ourselves speaking. So often we speak negative phrases over and over without thinking. But if we ever did stop to think about it, we’d realize, Dear Lord, that’s not what I want in my life!

If we keep speaking the same negative things over and over, eventually we will believe what we’re saying, and then we’ll have it. For example, I’ve heard people say, “I’m afraid I’ll have an accident. I’m just so afraid I’ll have an accident.” Then when they have an accident, they ask, “Why did God do this to me?”

But God didn’t have a thing to do with it. Those people stepped into a spiritual law that works either positively or negatively: They believed it, they said it and they received it.

Let’s use this spiritual law to our advantage and hook up with what God says!

CONFESSION:

I listen to the words I speak. When I discover I’m speaking something contrary to the Wordof God, I change it. I speak God’s blessings of divine health into my life. In Jesus’ name, I am healed. I am whole!

Making A Statement of Fact

Paul, a bondservant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God’s elect and the acknowledgment of the truth which accords with godliness, in hope of eternal life which God, who cannot lie, promised before time began. -Titus 1:1,2

Someone may say, “If I say I believe I’m healed when I still feel sick, that’s a lie.”

No, it isn’t. Number one, it’s calling those things which be not as though they were. (Rom. 4:17.) If that’s lying, then God lies all the time, and He can’t.

Number two, it’s a statement of fact. If I say, I believe I’m healed, all I’m doing is telling you what I believe. However, if I say, “No, I have no symptoms in my body,” when I do have symptoms, that’s a lie. Or if I say, “I have $100 bills in my pocket,” when I don’t, that’s a lie. But if I say, “I believe I’m healed by the stripes of Jesus’ back.” I’m making a statement of truth because I do believe it.

You can believe anything you want to believe. If you choose to believe what God says above what the symptoms are telling you, is that a lie? No, that’s truth. When you say, “I believe I’m healed,” you’re making a statement of fact.

In His prayer to the Father, Jesus said, “Your word is truth” (John 17:17). Then in Romans 3:4, Paul says, “Yes, let God be true, but every man a liar.” And Hebrews 6:18 states that it is impossible for God to lie. So when you choose to believe what God says, you come in line with the highest form of truth in the universe—the Word of God, which has been exalted above His name! (Ps. 138:2.)

CONFESSION:

I believe I’m healed. I believe God’s healing power is working in my body now, driving out every symptom and making my body completely whole!

Call Forth Your Miracle by Faith

(As it is written, “I have made you a father of many nations”) in the presence of Him whom he believed God, who gives life to the dead and calls those things which do not exist as though they did… -Romans 4:17

Our faith has to speak if we’re going to see results. God calls those things which be not as though they were. Abraham called those things which were not as though they were. Certainly, if our heavenly Father and the father of our faith operated in this kind of faith, we ought to do the same!

“Call those things which be not…” To call, you have to say. Speak out loud, calling those things which are not in your life as though they were.

Which of God’s blessings is not in your life? Is healing not in your life? Then call it as though it were. “Everywhere I go, healing and health are overtaking me, causing my body to be strong, healthy and whole!”

Someone may ask, “Is that scriptural?” I like what Joel said, “Let the weak say I am strong” (Joel 3:10) He didn’t say, “Let the weak say I’m weak and unworthy, I’ll never make it.” No, the weak are supposed to say they are strong! So calling those things that are not as though they were is very scriptural!

And the weak aren’t supposed to wait until they feel strong! If they did that, they would never feel it. No, let the weak say, “I am strong” while they still feel weak.

Why is that? Because with your mouth, confession is made unto the manifestation of God’s Word in your life. (Rom 10:10.) So continually call your body healed as though it already were. The time will come when you experience the manifestation of your miracle in your physical body.

CONFESSION:

My Father has given me all thoughts that pertain to life and godliness. Jesus took my sin and sickness and gave me His righteousness and health. Therefore, I call my body healed. I call my body strong. I call myself the blessed of the Lord!

Call That Which is Not as Though It Were

…God who gives life to the dead and calls those things which do not exist as though they did. -Romans 4:17

We are to call those things which are not as though they were. As someone once said, “We don’t want to get that mixed up. God didn’t say to call those things which are as though they were not.”

In other words, God didn’t say to deny the symptoms, the circumstances or the problems. We’re not supposed to say, “No, I don’t have any pain. No, there aren’t symptoms in my body.”

No, we are to call those things that be not as though they were. You might say, “Well, I don’t feel healed. But thank God, the Bible says I am, so I believe I’m healed. I don’t feel strong; but the Bible says I am, so I believe I’m strong.

Talk about healing as though it already existed in your body. Say, “It doesn’t matter what my body feels like; by Jesus’ stripes, I was healed. It doesn’t matter what the problem is; no weapon formed against me shall prosper! [Isaiah 54:17.] Since God is for me, no one can stand against me. [Rom. 8:31] So I believe I receive my healing by faith!”

CONFESSION:

I don’t deny symptoms or circumstances; I just call forth God’s promises to be manifested in my life. I call my mind strong and at peace. I call my body healthy and whole.

Release Your Faith With Your Words

For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. -Romans 10:10

The apostle Paul is saying by the Spirit of God that with the heart you believe the reality of God’s Word. In other words, when you get a revelation of God’s Word in your heart, it becomes real to you. God’s Word is alive, quick and powerful, and feeding on it causes Jesus and the things of God to become real and alive to you.

But there’s something else in this verse to understand. Paul is also saying by the Holy Spirit that with the mouth, confession is made unto the manifestation, or experience, of God’s Word.

When you believe the Word, it becomes real. When you say it, it manifests. If you say it without believing it, it isn’t real to you. If you believe it without saying it, it isn’t manifested for you. But when you believe and say the Word, it starts working in your life.

We like it when God’s Word becomes real in our spirits. But there’s something about having it actually manifest in our lives that makes it more enjoyable. It’s walking in good health, it feels good to “feel good”!

Do you want to experience the manifestation of God’s promises in your life? Then continually speak His Word with your mouth. That’s how you release your faith. You see, you can have a heart full of faith, but it won’t do you any good unless you release it.

It’s like having a bank account full of money. That money won’t do you any good unless you spend it. In the same way, after you fill your heart with faith by feeding on the Word, you have to spend, or release, it by the words you speak. Fill and spend. That’s how you keep your faith working for you!

CONFESSION:

I feed on God’s Word, and it becomes real to me. I speak forth God’s Word, and it manifests in me! The Word inside me produces healing in my body as I release my faith and proclaim His goodness.

Faith for Salvation – Faith for Healing

But the righteousness of faith speaks in this way, “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?” (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead). But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith which we preach): that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. -Romans 10:6-9

This one passage of Scripture tells you not only how to be saved, but how to be healed—by speaking in faith. Notice what Paul says in verse 6: “But the righteousness [in right standing with God] of faith speaks in this way…” Faith always speaks. What you say is your faith speaking. I don’t mean just what you say once, but what you say over a period of time.

Then in verse 8, Paul asks, “But what does it say?” What does the righteousness which is of faith say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” Faith has to be in both places.

Verse 9 goes on to say, “…that if you confess with your mouth…” You may say, “I don’t believe in Bible confessions.” If you don’t, you have to throw out the whole book of Romans!

That if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.

You may argue, “But that verse is talking about salvation.” Yes, I know, but the same faith that got you saved will get you healed. You just have to take your faith and point it in a different direction. Remember, Jesus said, “All things are possible to him who believes!” (Mark 9:23.)

CONFESSION:

God’s Word in my heart and in my mouth says that the Lord Jesus is my healer! By faith I speak healing to my body, and according to my faith, it will be done unto me!
