Hearing and Speaking Words of Healing

Salvation only comes by hearing and speaking God’s words... Roms. 10:9, 10

By the same token, people are healed by hearing and speaking words. And it is always with the heart we believe and with the mouth that confession is made. It is very important to confess with your mouth what you believe in your heart. 

We are saved and healed the same way we get everything from God, by hearing and speaking words.

God created and framed the world out of nothing by words. “…and God said…”

II Cor. 4:13 quoted from Psa. 116:8-10 Notice the spirit of faith believes and speaks what is written in the Word of God. It believes what God says more than it believes contrary evidence. 

If you want to develop the spirit of faith, you must believe and speak the Word.  If negative thoughts go around and around in your head like a broken record, make a new record. Confess the Word of God. Then purposely start expecting what God says to come to pass in your life. 

The words that we speak are very important. Life and death are in the power of the tongue. Prov. 18:21 You could say, “Sickness and disease and healing and health are in the power of the tongue.” Inner satisfaction comes from true and good speech. The words we speak wield great power. 

In James 3 it is said that if you were mature enough to control your tongue you could bridle your whole body.  Your tongue is a spiritual meter. Our faith will never register higher than our words.

If we can control our tongue, we can guide our lives, just as a bit directs a horse or a rudder steers a ship. It is like a fire; it can ruin or bless our entire lives. 

One day every knee shall bow and every tongue confess the promise that God made to Abraham and fulfilled in Jesus Christ. 
The tongue can reveal what kind of wisdom we harbor inside. It does not take you long to talk to a person to find out their character. A good tongue protects our integrity and others. Words are powerful when released out of your mouth because they carry spiritual forces. Jesus said it this way “…the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.” John 6:63 He actually said, “There is spirit life in the words that I speak.” That is why it is important for us to agree with God and to say what He says. That means that we have to know the Word of God.

All of God’s provision is ours by the claim of faith, but faith must be released through the words of your mouth. Mark 11:23 faith has to be released through the words of our mouth. Prov. 21:23 this verse implies that we create our own troubles with our mouth and tongue. 

Prov. 12:18 Then tongue of the wise is health, because the tongue of the wise says the right things. You are going to produce either sickness or health with your tongue, mouth, and words. They all go together. 

Faith works for healing, salvation, or all God’s provisions, but must be spoken. Even if a person gets healed by God initiating something on His own or by a manifestation of the gifts of the Spirit, he will not maintain that healing without maintaining a positive faith confession, because the devil will come and take it away. 

Jesus Christ is the Great Physician on call day and night. He never closes, and we do not have to wait for an appointment. He is a specialist in every situation. He does not charge anything. He only wants us to believe. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is the national health scheme for every nation on earth. God meant for our bodies to last, with care, a lifetime!

We are healed by speaking and believing positive words and we maintain our healing by the words we speak. 

The shape of your life is formed by your words. Matt. 12:37

David said what he was going to do to Goliath five times. (I Samuel 17)

Call things that be not as though they are. If you don’t see the invisible, you must remember that you cannot lie when you are saying what God says.  
“The Sower sows the Word” When you are confessing the Word, you are sowing the word from your mouth to your spirit. The substance of faith is in the midst of your spirit. We set the thermostat.
The blessing of Abraham has come on me.”

Proverbs 4:20-22, 13 see it, hear it in your heart, put it in your mouth, falls in your spirit, builds faith and confidence, and comes out a life. Thoughts lead to wrong speaking if not controlled. Immediately cast down thoughts that do not agree with the Word. 

Knowing the truths of the Scriptures will mean true life and good health to you. Carefully guard your thoughts because they are the source of true life. Vs. 23 AMP says “… for from it flow the springs of life.”
 
You can control your mind and what you think. We are responsible for what we think.
What you think about controls you. It is what you are going to become. Let Jesus and the Word be the focus of your thoughts. Eph. 4:23
We find our solutions in Jesus not in confessing problems. 

This is the pattern of the thought life: Positive or negative. 
Thoughts lead to attitudes
Attitudes lead to choices
Choices lead to words
Words lead to actions
Actions lead to multiplying what we have sown.

Signposts of toxic thinking and mulling over problems and then acting:
1.	We keep experiencing the same hurts over and over. “Quit replaying that scene over and over in your mind.”
2.	We never seem to be understood. Pity parties.
3.	We are easily offended.
4.	We don’t feel accepted or loved.
5.	We rehearse things that are said over and over until they overwhelm us.  (Going to work – and thinking He will say and I will reply…)
Nothing will affect your attitude positively except the Word of God. 

According to a report 6 out of 10 Americans suffer from depression. That is not normal if you have made Jesus Christ the Lord of your life. You have been redeemed from it. It is part of the curse. Deut. 28:65-68. If you begin to cultivate the spirit of faith, depression will leave you. 

What if you have had problems in your life? And who hasn’t?
You must be willing to face the truth and know that there is a way out and through the most difficult times and experiences. 

The moment you stop blaming and accusing others you have taken a huge step in the direction of healing and restoration. God is greater than being sexually abused.
God is greater than messes we have made.
God is greater than our wrong doing and bad choices. The mind can and must be restored. 

Rem. You cannot be defeated because greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world. God is greater than sickness and disease. He is greater than troubles and trials. He is greater than any power that can come against you. You cannot measure how great God is. 

Confession:
God is everything the Word says He is. God can do everything the Word says He can do. I will talk about how big God is. I read God’s Word and I believe it. I receive by faith and my confession that everything God has provided for me is mine. – including health. 

We have seen that there is no situation that is too difficult for God.
