YOU Determine Your Healing

I have written another article on these scriptures, but the Lord keeps revealing more to me about them. So they must be very important to us all. Lets keep on learning.

Proverbs 4:20-23 tells us how to get well and stay well. It says to attend to the word, incline your ear to my sayings. Let the word not depart from your eyes and keep them in your heart. For God's Words are life to those that find them and health to all their flesh. Keep your heart for out of it are the issues of life. The word "health" in the Hebrew means "medicine". So you could say that God's Word is medicine to all your flesh.

You, me, and everyone, determines how well or how sick they will be. "Awe", you say, that couldn't be right. Well…didn't the word just say that God's word is medicine to all our flesh? Then, isn't it up to each of us to decide if we will take God's medicine or not? Yes it is. Then we determine how well we will be by taking God's medicine, or stay sick if we don't take it. Folks, we might as well face the truth. God through Jesus has provided for every Christian everything we will ever have need of. Healing is certainly one of those things. But it's up to us to read the Bible and learn what belongs to us and then lay hold of it and take it as ours. Read it and do what it says.

These scriptures in Proverbs tell us how to get well and stay well. The Word of God is your medicine and these verses tell us how to take that medicine. So why are God's people still sick? They either haven't heard this Word yet, or have heard it and not doing it.

In James 1:25, It says we are not to be hearers only, but to be a doer of the Word. You'll never have what the Word says if you just hear and don't do it. You have to do the Word to have what belongs to you. Just because you saw something in the Bible that is yours doesn't mean it will fall on you automatically. It won't, you have to appropriate it.

Get busy in the Word. Find scriptures on healing and put them in your heart by reading them, thinking on them, and saying them 3-4 times a day at least. I suggest more than that, but you determine how many times a day you need your medicine. Listen to the leading of the Holy Ghost inside you and he will let you know how much time you need to spend in the Word.

If you have a terminal disease that will kill you in a few months, then you need a lot of time in the Word. You really need to give all your attention to the Word. I know there are things we all have to do, but drop everything that you can and make the Word of God your number one priority.
If some illness you have is not likely to kill you, then you don't have to be that aggressive with the Word unless you are in a hurry to get well. But it will take longer if you just give a little time to the Word. So you see, it's up to you how much of God's Word you take and how often. YOU determine this.

Stop waiting on the Lord to heal you, he's already healed you. Jesus got healing for you on the cross. He bore your sicknesses and diseases and by His stripes you WERE healed. It's a done deal. Take the Word of God everyday like medicine, but don't worry, you can't overdose on the Word. The more you take the more well you become. Take it according to the directions that it gives you in these verses and you will get well, and if you continue in it you will stay well.

It's up to you; no one else can do this for you, not even God. YOU determine how well or how sick you will be by the amount of attention you give to the Word on healing. Isn't that amazing? But it's true.
