The word of God is alive, and it is sharper than any two-edged sword—piercing until it divides soul from spirit, joints from marrow, until it’s able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart (Hebrews 4:12). What you believe in your heart and speak from your mouth is vital to your health. This is one way that healing will be ministered to your body.
You must learn to speak the language of health to your situation. As you speak God’s Word in faith, it is infused into you, giving voice with your own mouth.
A continual affirmative of God’s word in faith will build into your immune system a supernatural anointing that’s capable of eliminating sickness and disease in a natural manner that’s coming against your body.
“Decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee,” Job 22:8. Say “I decree that I am healed of______(name sickness). No sickness, no disease can live in my body, for my body is the temple of God. Jesus himselftook my infirmities and bore my sickness and disease in His body, and with the stripes He took on His back, I am healed (Matthew 8:17). I am healed and I am whole (Isaiah 53:4-5).
Take notice: You are saying what God says in his word. You can also quote Psalm 103:1-5: “He forgives all of my iniquities and heals all my diseases. Lord, I receive this.” Do not forget to add “in Jesus’ name” to the end of your confession, and to give God all the praise.
You must believe what you say, in order to have what you are saying. When God’s word becomes infused in your Spirit, it becomes a part of you. It cannot be separated from you. It is you, the word made flesh. Your life will then reflect the life of that word.
When God’s word takes root in your flesh, it becomes greater than the disease. Healing is the result. The image that the word creates in you is already a reality in the spirit realm. When you speak God’s word from your heart, then faith gives substance to the promises of God.
Every time you speak in faith, it creates a stronger image inside of you, e.g., when you speak God’s words on healing for your body, you get an image of healing. The image is created by the word of God. With the continual affirmation of God’s word, eventually the image will be perfected and you will begin to see yourself as well.
When the word is engrafted into you, it infuses its life into you. You must believe that you receive and accept it by faith. Then it will become a reality. It is very important to remember that the word of God is like medicine (Proverbs 4:20-27). Like medicine, it must be applied on a regular basis.
Believing and speaking go together. Your believing comes through what you hear—so speak the word out loud. The words that you speak build images inside your spirit because words are spiritual forces. “It is the spirit that quickeneth (gives life); the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak, unto you, they are spirit and they are life,” John 6:63.
God is a spirit (John 4:24). Humans are also spirits, possessing a soul and living in a physical body (1 Thessalonians 5:23). Everything we receive from God is through our spirit by faith. Eventually it is manifested in the physical world. Medical science aids healing by administering medicine into the physical body. God’s divine healing is spiritual, and it ministers to the physical body from the inside. When God’s word becomes infused inside your spirit, it becomes a part of you. It cannot be separated from you.
I want to make clear an important issue. There is a myth that says “you automatically have whatever you say.” This is not so. When it comes to having whatever you say, believing and speaking go together. “For verily I say unto you, that whosoever shall say unto this mountain, ‘be cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in His heart, but shall believe those things which he saith, it shall come to pass. He shall have whatsoever he saith,” Mark 11:24.
You must believe what you say, in order to have what you say. Believing comes through what you hear. Remember that your words create images and eventually you will live out the reality of that image.
