God’s Word Is Medicine
16
Then you read it in faith, believing that much more is happening in you than what you
understand.
You don’t have to have a clue what’s in a pill or a tablet. You don’t have to know how it works
or why. You can just pop it in your mouth and swallow it, and it will start working in you. That’s
what this does. Who is this medicine for? How many is this for? To say healing is not for
everyone is tantamount to saying that the Word is not for everyone, because His Word
will
heal
you. He sent His Word and healed them, and delivered them from their destruction. (Psalm
107:20) The Bible says the multitudes came to hear Him and to be healed by Him of all their
diseases, and they heard, and they were. These Words heal. Every Word of God heals. There’s
no Word of God that is devoid of power. Everything that comes out of His mouth is rich with
light, spiritual nutrition, and life for your flesh. Anytime the Word is preached, anytime the
Word is taught, anytime the Word is read, there’s life coming out of it. It has a cumulative effect
on you, month after month and year after year. God’s will is that you are attending services,
reading the Word every day, and soaking in the Word of God. It’s permeating you. It’s getting in
you. It does things to your immune system that will allow you to live another 30 years more than
you would have. It’s doing things to your glands; it’s doing things to the marrow of your bones.
I’m telling you, I’ve seen it.
I don’t think I’ll ever forget this. Again, it was several years ago in Healing School, in the same
little class. A man and his wife came into class. He wasn’t that old, but he was skin and bones,
and his breathing was so laborious that you could hear him all over the little room. It was very
distracting. Everyone was turning around. He was trying to breathe, and his breathing was so
raspy that I thought, as I was trying to preach,
Is he going to get that next breath, or is he not
going to make it?
You could tell he had been a tall, big, strapping man, but he was down to nothing. I mean, he
was just skin and bones.
When the service started, he was leaning over his chair, just trying to breathe. He couldn’t even
look at me.
I was teaching that day on this very passage, Proverbs 4. “His Words are life to those who find
them and health and medicine to all their flesh.” I preached and taught on it the best I knew how,
and then I saw it. I’m telling you, it was one of the most spectacular things I’ve seen. He began
to rise up off his lap. First of all, he was looking at me, still breathing hard, but looking at me.
Then little by little... after about 30 minutes, 40 minutes, little by little, he was sitting up straight,
and not making any sound, looking at me.
At the end of the session, I walked over to him. I could see it all over him. I said, “Hi. I’m glad to
have you today.”
He looked at me and said, “I feel good.”
I said, “God’s done something for you. I knew it; that’s why I came back.”
