He Sent His Word And Healed Them

Hebrews 4:2 (WEB)

For indeed we have had good news preached to us, even as they also did, but the word they heard didn’t profit them, because it wasn’t mixed with faith by those who heard.

In our last podcast we talked about how the Word of God is meant to profit us. It’s meant to reveal who God is and how to know him. It’s meant to show us who God is calling us to be as new creations in Christ. It’s meant to show us what God’s will is and how to walk in it.

Let’s start with some Scriptures today that reveal some of what the Word is in our lives and let’s begin mixing faith with it.

He sends his word, and heals them, and delivers them from their graves. - Psalm 107:20 WEB

It is the spirit who gives life. The flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and are life. - John 6:63 WEB

Proverbs 4:20-22

20 My son, attend to my words. Turn your ear to my sayings.

21 Let them not depart from your eyes. Keep them in the center of your heart.

22 For they are life to those who find them, and health to their whole body.

So we see and we know from Scripture that the Words of God are spirit and life. We know that God has and is sending his Word which brings healing and deliverance. We know that we are to attend to his words, keeping our focus on his Words, they are to be dear to our hearts because they are life to us and health to us.

These are truths revealed into to us by God through his Word. Now we choose to mix faith with it be choosing to believe it and acting on it.

How to de act on our faith. We will cover this more but one way we can always act in faith is be agreeing that what God’s Word says is true and true for us. It’s called a confession of faith. I say what I believe.

We can just profess it or we can do it with thanksgiving unto the Lord.

Let me give you and example

Psalm 107:20 says, “He sends his word, and heals them…”

I take that and choose to believe it and act on it by just giving God thanks. It could be as simple as this. 

“Heavenly Father, thank you for sending your Word. Thank you that your Word brings healing to me. It brings healing in my marriage as I follow your principles. It brings healing to my mind as I understand your love for me and the forgiveness given to me through Christ. It brings healing to my body as your Word is life to me and health to my flesh. Father I thank you for your Word and I honor you by honoring your  Word for what it is, life and health to me. Thank you in Jesus Name!”

You see that’s an example of choosing to mix faith with the Word. We don’t want to miss out on what God has for us simply because we read the Word and don’t mix faith with it.

Believe God. Read his Word and choose to accept it as true. Believe it. Do what it says and then simply continue to trust God.
