In need of healing?
Are you believing the promise of Proverbs 4:22 -- "for
they [the Word] are life to those who find them and health to a man’s whole
body." This is an amazing
promise that we all should believe and expect and accept as our own. Why is it that many of us may repeat this
promise ... we may read it ... we may meditate on it ... we may claim it as our
own? Yet, the health issue, the disease,
the sickness, the infirmity doesn't change for the better. The change we experience is for the worst.
What are we missing? We keep reminding
God of His great and precious promise.
Yet, nothing changes. Why?
In the Word, the Holy Scriptures, God has made many promises
to you. You've claimed this one, but its
not manifesting. Remember, if you do
what you've always done, you'll get what you've always gotten. Ummmh, maybe you should look at the verse
within the context of the immediately surrounding verses. Where does the thought begin and where does
it end? Consider the passage of Proverbs
4:20-23. It looks like there are not
one, not two, not three, but four conditions that you must meet if you are to
receive this great and precious promise.
You've got to do something more than lay claim to the promise. You must meet the conditions. What are they? Read verses 20 and 21 where
the conditions are to 1) pay attention to the Word, 2) listen closely to the
Word, 3) don't let the Word out of your sight, and 4) keep the Word within your
heart. Read verse 23 where the fourth condition regarding your heart is emphasized.
If you want a different result, you must take different
actions ... think different thoughts ... speak different words. If you
do what you've always done, you'll get what you've always gotten.
