Powerful Medicine
To
understand how this prescription works, you must realize that the Word of God
is more than just good information. It actually has life in it. As Jesus said
in John 6:63, "It is the
spirit that quickeneth [or makes alive]; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words
that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life."
Every time you take the Word into
your heart, believe it and act on it, that life of which Jesus spoke, the very
LIFE of God Himself, is released in you. You may have read the healing
scriptures over and over again. You may know them as well as you know your own
name. Yet every time you read them or hear them preached, they bring you a
fresh dose of God's healing power. Each time, they bring life to you and
deliver God's medicine to your flesh.
That's
because the Word is like a seed. Hebrews
4:12 says it is "alive and full of power--making it
active, operative, energizing and effective..." (The Amplified Bible).
It actually carries within it the power to fulfill itself.
When you planted the Word about the
new birth in your heart, then believed and acted on it, that Word released
within you the power to be born again. By the same token, when you plant the
Word about healing in your heart, believe and act on it, that Word will release
God's healing power in you.
"But, Gloria," you may say,
"I've met people who know the Bible from cover to cover and still can't
get healed!"
