GOD'S WORD IS POWERFUL

He Sent His Word And Healed Them

He sent His word and healed them, And delivered them from their destructions. Psalm 107:20

But He answered and said, "It is written, 'Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.' " Matthew 4:4

Sincerity and presumption are not a guarantee of anything including salvation and healing. What is born of flesh is flesh and what is born of Spirit is spirit.  Jesus told us, "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). So if we are going to receive life, salvation, healing and good things from God it must first come by the Spirit as God’s word. Yes,  'Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.' God by His Spirit  sends His word and heal us and deliver us from our destructions. And then we have to act on the word that God give us including beleiving and confessing the word. God's word is true:

And it shall come to pass That whoever calls on the name of the LORD Shall be saved.' Acts 2:21

But what does it say? "The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart" (that is, the word of faith which we preach): that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.  For the Scripture says, "Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame." For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him. For "whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved." Romans 10:9-13

With our faith we can make a demand on God for the anointing to bring down healing and deliverance into our lives. In the bible in Jesus day all who were sick did just that. They touched the hem of Jesus garment. And as many as touched it were made perfectly well. God’s word is true:

When they had crossed over, they came to the land of Gennesaret.  And when the men of that place recognized Him, they sent out into all that surrounding region, brought to Him all who were sick,  and begged Him that they might only touch the hem of His garment. And as many as touched it were made perfectly well. Matthew 14:34-36

When they had crossed over, they came to the land of Gennesaret and anchored there. And when they came out of the boat, immediately the people recognized Him, ran through that whole surrounding region, and began to carry about on beds those who were sick to wherever they heard He was. Wherever He entered into villages, cities, or in the country, they laid the sick in the marketplaces, and begged Him that they might just touch the hem of His garment. And as many as touched Him were made well. Mark 6:53-56

The Word of God is very clear that God wants to heal His people be it by faith, by the word of knowledge, by the anointing, or by any method He chooses.

"When I shut up heaven and there is no rain, or command the locusts to devour the land, or send pestilence among My people, 7:14 "if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land. 2 Chronicles 7:13-14

Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord.  And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven. Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much. Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it would not rain; and it did not rain on the land for three years and six months. And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth produced its fruit. James 5:14-18

Yes, the prayer of faith is the prayer of Elijah that produces results through persistence in prayer. The bible records for our profit and instruciton:

Then Elijah said to Ahab, "Go up, eat and drink; for there is the sound of abundance of rain."  So Ahab went up to eat and drink. And Elijah went up to the top of Carmel; then he bowed down on the ground, and put his face between his knees,  and said to his servant, "Go up now, look toward the sea." So he went up and looked, and said, "There is nothing." And seven times he said, "Go again."  Then it came to pass the seventh time, that he said, "There is a cloud, as small as a man's hand, rising out of the sea!" So he said, "Go up, say to Ahab, 'Prepare your chariot, and go down before the rain stops you.' "  Now it happened in the meantime that the sky became black with clouds and wind, and there was a heavy rain. So Ahab rode away and went to Jezreel. Then the hand of the LORD came upon Elijah; and he girded up his loins and ran ahead of Ahab to the entrance of Jezreel. 1 Kings 18:41-46

It’s to be noted that according to the word of Elijah that God gave to Elijah the drought and  famine came and was removed. God’s word is true:

And Elijah the Tishbite, of the inhabitants of Gilead, said to Ahab, "As the LORD God of Israel lives, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, except at my word."1 King 18:1

Jesus taught us on the value and importance of persistent prayer of always praying and not giving up until God avenges us and give us our desired result of justice from the injustices of the enemy, Satan, the author of sickness, diseases, trouble, afflictions, poverty and loss on the earth. God’s word is true:

Then He spoke a parable to them, that men always ought to pray and not lose heart, saying: "There was in a certain city a judge who did not fear God nor regard man.  "Now there was a widow in that city; and she came to him, saying, 'Get justice for me from my adversary.'  "And he would not for a while; but afterward he said within himself, 'Though I do not fear God nor regard man,  'yet because this widow troubles me I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me.' " Then the Lord said, "Hear what the unjust judge said. "And shall God not avenge His own elect who cry out day and night to Him, though He bears long with them? "I tell you that He will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the earth?" Luke 1:1-8

Prayer of the faith will heal the sick because healing is in the word. He sent His word and healed them. Because Jesus is the Word , healing is also in the anointing and a gift of the Spirit.  That is why Jesus said:

"The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon Me,  Because the LORD has anointed Me  To preach good tidings to the poor;  He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted,  To proclaim liberty to the captives,  And the opening of the prison to those who are bound; To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, And the day of vengeance of our God;  To comfort all who mourn, To console those who mourn in Zion,  To give them beauty for ashes,  The oil of joy for mourning,  The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness;  That they may be called trees of righteousness,  The planting of the LORD, that He may be glorified." Isaiah 61:1-3

And Apostle Paul said:

There are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.  There are differences of ministries, but the same Lord. And there are diversities of activities, but it is the same God who works all in all. But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all: for to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge through the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit, to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He wills. 1 Corinthians 12:4-11

But sometimes because we wrestle not against flesh and blood we must contend for miracles includng healing for God is a rewarder of those who diligently seek him. Because we have faith, hope and love we can contend with any negative circumstance until we get our miracle.  Jesus was manifested to destroy all the works of the devil. Sickness and disease are an oppression of the devil and they don’t exist in God’s kingdom. Sickness diseases and death all come from the devil’s kingdom and every infirmity should be treated as the work of the devil including infirmity, blindness, sickness, pain, etc which robs us from the fulness of life. But Jesus Christ healed and heals all oppression of the devil. He who is the same yesterday today and forever still heals all our diseases, forgives all our inquities, and redeems our life from destruction and executes righteousness and justice for the oppressed. Yes, came to set at liberty those who are oppressed. God’s word is true:

Bless the LORD, O my soul; And all that is within me, bless His holy name!  Bless the LORD, O my soul,  And forget not all His benefits:  Who forgives all your iniquities, Who heals all your diseases, Who redeems your life from destruction,  Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies, Who satisfies your mouth with good things,  So that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.  The LORD executes righteousness  And justice for all who are oppressed. Psalm 103:1-6

"The Spirit of the LORD is upon Me, Because He has anointed Me To preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives And recovery of sight to the blind, To set at liberty those who are oppressed; Luke 4:18

"how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him. Acts 10:38
