God’s power flows through His word to heal us. He cannot do anything on the earth, except He finds a vessel of His honor, who is willing to proclaim it on the earth. Are you that vessel of God’s glory and honor?
His power can only be released through our words of proclamation. God needs someone on the earth who can act on His behalf in enforcing what His word says. He cannot do anything on the earth to heal the sick, without someone who has the faith for His word to do what He had said concerning it.
That’s why the Preacher has been sent to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ, to heal the sick and to deliver those who are in the captivity of the devil.
But it’s not just the Preacher alone who can proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ. We are all called to be witnesses for Him. Every Christian on the earth is called to proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ.
And every time you are testifying to someone about how God saved, healed and delivered you, His power becomes readily available for you also, to do exactly the same thing for others who are listening to you.
God wants to use your lips to declare His glory on the earth. Don’t ever underestimate God’s powerful ability in your life. You are a carrier of God’s power to save the sinners, to heal the sick and to deliver those who are in the captivity of the devil.
Don’t ever take the power of God in your life for granted. The Lord wants to reveal Himself through you to those whom you are in daily contact with, everywhere you are on the earth. You can choose to partner with Him today.
It’s a matter of your choice, but the greatest choice that you will ever make on the earth, is to yield your life in becoming the vessel of honor in His hand.
It’s not good to only know that as Christians we do have His word and all authority on the earth, to be using the name of Jesus (Psalms 138:2), to be decreeing many things in changing our world for His glory. Yet with this great understanding many are idling away with what is already theirs in Christ Jesus.
They are more concerned about their own little things. Whereas their Heavenly Father is offering them, things bigger and mightier than what they are struggling to have every day.
God is more interested about establishing His Kingdom on the earth, through their proclamation and witnessing with His words, but they are more interested in using the power of His word to benefit themselves only.
Jesus commanded us as believers in His name on the earth:
“But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.”
Matthew 6:33 NKJV
To seek God’s Kingdom and righteousness first means that we are putting Him and His Kingdom, above those little things that are preventing people from being devoted to Him.
God wants to save those who are lost and heal those who are sick, through the witnessing and testimonies of every believer on the earth in the name of Jesus (Mark 16:15-18).
Every believer in His name has God’s dynamic power available within them to accomplish this. That power is in you to do it. So, instead of using your Christian testimony to please the world, you can turn it around to please Jesus.
God’s power is in you. And the more you are focused on tapping into it to change your world, the more effective you will become in your partnership with God on the earth, to save those who are lost in their sins and to heal those who are sick in the body.
It’s one thing to know that you do have so much power within you, but it’s another thing to be able to use it in benefiting your world.
God’s power flows through your spoken words.
The word of God has all the power in it to do what it says. His Spirit is in His written words to heal the sick, and also to give life to that which is dead spiritually and physically.
The Apostle Paul once informed the Corinthians about how the word of God in his personal life, had been used to transform them. He said to them:
“Who (God) also made us sufficient as ministers of the new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.”
II Corinthians 3:6 NKJV
Jesus also said:
“It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life.”
John 6:63 NKJV
The letters in God’s written word without the Spirit does not have the power in it, to save and to heal.
A Christian can be fully loaded with the scriptures, but still be delinquent of God’s power to save the lost and to heal the sick.
It’s possible for Christians to be scripturally correct, but not spiritually sound in doctrines. And just because someone is loaded with Bible Scriptures at heart, does not necessarily mean that the person is even born again, or has God’s power available within him.
He still needs to experience the infilling of the Holy Spirit, for the power of God to be activated in him to change the world.
This is why it’s dangerous to be building Church doctrines on the scriptures alone, without the Spirit of the letter. You can be scripturally correct without being spiritually or doctrinally sound.
There are many doctrines of healing in various denominations today that are like that. And that’s why people are not getting healed whenever they are praying, because their doctrines of healing are based on the opinions of men, rather than on the word of God and His Spirit that gives life.
Life giving power is released through the Spirit filled words, that you are proclaiming daily in the name of Jesus. God’s word works to heal and to deliver people in this way.
But you can’t possibly be proclaiming what you don’t know much about with confidence, if you’re not even aware of its effectiveness to do what you are proclaiming. Do you believe that God’s word will do exactly what it says?
Proclamation has to be with boldness, otherwise there will be no release of the power of God to heal and to deliver through it (1 Corinthians 3:12; 4:13).
The Apostle Peter said:
“As His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue, by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.”
II Peter 1:3-4 NKJV
We become the “partakers of the divine nature”, as we get ourselves separated from the corruption of this world; in order to continually hold on to the proclamation of His “exceeding great and precious promises”.
God’s power is in His word. And His written Word contains His “precious promises” to us. The Holy Spirit is the conveyor of the power within it to us.
When God speaks, the Holy Spirit brings His word to us in power. That’s how we know what has been freely given to us by Him. That’s how faith comes to us and gave us the boldness in proclaiming the good news.
We all have faith in God for one thing or another. But faith has to be released to do what it is meant to do through proclamation.
Jesus once illustrated how this works after the disciples saw the result of His spoken words to the fig tree. The tree had dried up and was completely dead as a result of what Jesus had said to it.
So, Jesus responded to the surprise of His disciples in this way:
“So, Jesus answered and said to them, “Have faith in God. For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says. Therefore, I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.”
Mark 11:22-24 NKJV
Jesus had used His faith to speak words directly into the spirit realm. His spoken words of command went straight to the root of the fig tree to destroy it.
The disciples were surprised to see that His spoken words to the fig tree came to pass. Jesus therefore decided to use this moment to teach them about how this principle of faith works.
And in explaining what had happened to them, Jesus said that it was the same faith, which had caused the fig tree to die from its root as He spoke, that is also able to make the mountain disappear into the bottom of the sea.
It’s the same principle of faith that caused the fig tree to die, that can also move mountains.
If your faith can see the mountain disappearing into the bottom of the sea, it literally means that you won’t have any evidence available, that the mountain ever existed before at that very location. Faith in God’s word through your mouth can change anything.
The same principle of faith is what we can use in speaking to sicknesses and diseases, so as to see every symptom in the body to completely disappear. And if it worked for Jesus, the same principle shall work for you also.
As pointed out in His explanation above this same principle will work for anyone (whoever), if only that person can believe it with the heart.
It is important to note here that in using the word “whoever”, Jesus never suggested that the person has to be a believer in His name. This means that faith will work for anyone who believes in what is being said with the mouth.
That’s why you will often see those who are not even Christians, saying and doing with great success the things that they are saying. You can have whatever you are saying to yourself either good or bad, for as long as your faith is involved with it.
This means that when you are speaking words by faith with boldness to sicknesses and diseases, the evidence of such sicknesses and diseases are no longer available.
Faith causes them to disappear just as the mountain disappears to the bottom of the sea. As far as faith is concerned there is no longer any evidence of the sicknesses or diseases. The faith that moves the mountain to the bottom of the sea will cause sicknesses and diseases to disappear.
Faith does not see the sicknesses and diseases anymore, as soon as the proclamation is made. Your faith therefore “… calls those things which do not exist (in the natural world) as though they are” (Romans 4:17).
Just as the mountain is swallowed up by the sea in the illustration made by Jesus, your spoken words have God’s power in it, to make things to happen for you. But your faith is the most important tool that is needed to make these things happen.
That was why Jesus said at the beginning of His illustration to the disciples above – “Have faith in God.”
This includes the faith for sicknesses and diseases to disappear. The proclamation of God’s perfect will on the earth as it is in Heaven, can transform anything for any child of God on the earth (Psalms 119:89).
The problem with a lot of Christians is that they will often give up on their faith, as they declare what they do believe with their hearts.
That’s why they will often proclaim healing for a few days, and because they are not seeing anything in the natural world, almost immediately they will quit proclaiming what they do believe with their hearts.
That’s when they will often begin to switch to whatever the natural world has to offer them, in confronting the situation before them.
Just because you are not seeing immediate results from your proclamation, doesn’t mean that your faith is not working. The faith of Jesus worked as He spoke to the tree. There is nothing here to show in the scriptures that Jesus ever wondered if the tree would even obey Him.
Jesus knew that the fig tree had to obey His spoken words, because that tree was created to be subjected to Him and to whosoever will believe.
Biblical faith from the heart always works to produce results. It may not be immediately visible with the physical eyes, but faith is working in the spirit realm to manifest the things that are being declared.
This was how it worked for Jesus also as in the fig tree incidence. It was almost twelve hours after He had spoken the words, that the disciples noticed the effect of what was said on the tree.
It’s important to note here that Jesus spoke the words, and just went about doing other things. He never even bothered about the tree anymore. He never paid attention to the tree again, until the disciples pointed it out to Him. As far as He was concerned it was already dead, as soon as His words were spoken.
Faith works even when your head is telling you the opposite. Don’t ever give up on your healing and the perfect health for your body. The same word of faith that healed your body, is the word that will restore your health into perfection.
Begin to proclaim His word about your healing today. Don’t do it once or twice. Do it continually even after you have been healed.
You don’t just need to be healed. You need His word to sustain your healing in perfect health. Stay focused on His word. Be healed and stay healthy every day for the rest of your life on this earth.
Receive your healing now by saying these words:
“Thank you, Heaven Father, for sending your Son, Jesus Christ to die for my sins.
I had been delivered from the curse of the law of sin and death. Sicknesses and diseases are curses of that law, but Jesus had delivered me from them all.
Right now, in the name of Jesus I receive the forgiveness of my sins. I am forgiven, blessed, healed and made whole in my body.
Thank you, Father, for sending your word today for my healing, in Jesus’ name I pray. Amen!”
