All the healing power you need is in the word of God. Sometimes people overlook the word and ask God to send the power, but he has already sent it by his word. Let me give you a few examples, when the children of Isreal was in the desert serpents came upon them and were biting them and killing them so they asked Moses to pray to God to take away the serpents and God said to Moses, "Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live." And as a result it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived. And what did the people do as a result, they started worshiping the pole. They thought the power was in the pole, but it wasn't it was in the words.
Another example is there was a Syrian captain by the name of Naaman which had a case of leprosy which he went to see the man of God to be healed and Elisha sent word to him to dip 7 times in the Jordan River and his flesh would come again. But, he got angry because he wanted Elisha to come out and call on the name of the Lord his God and strike his hand over the place and recover the leper. Then he didn't want to dip in Jordan because it was muddy, but it wasn't about where he dipped it was about what the word said and the word said dip in Jordan. And when he dipped 7 times in the Jordan River his flesh came again like unto the flesh of a little child, and he was clean. Notice when they did what he said they got the results he said. Not one person failed to get what God said they would get.
And God has left instructions for you to follow that will lead you to healing. In Proverbs 4:20-22 God says, "My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh." That word health is translated medicine, remedy, and cure. God is telling you that his word put in your heart(spirit) will bring the healing you need. Again, it's the word that brings healing to your body. The word has the power in it. The word is anointed and when you follow God's instructions it releases it's power to you. And just like the children of Isreal and that Syrian captain you follow his instructions properly and you will have to receive your healing. As Psalm 107:20 says, "He sent his word, and healed them and delivered them from their destructions." Don't give up for God is faithful. I know by personal experience that his word works.
Excellent teaching of truth!!
