SUBJECT: "God's Word is Medicine"
God's Word makes it perfectly clear that it is God's will that you are to be well, healthy, and whole. Why do we miss that? The same blood Jesus shed on Calvary's tree for your redemption was also shed that we might be free from sickness and disease. The wounds He received bleed, so His blood through those stripes heals us today. Yes, we will die, but that does not mean we have to be sick when we do. Our bodies will give up due to age, but while we live we can be healthy and whole. Matthew 8:17 says that Jesus Himself bore our sickness and carried our diseases. He did that for us, and if He carried them for us, then we don't have to carry them. His work was in vain if we don't believe that! Healing is God's promise to us. But just because it's God's will for our life doesn't mean it will automatically happen. We have to believe His promises, and reach out for them in faith, and snatch them for ourselves. Everything you receive from God you receive by faith, amen. A key factor in releasing your faith is the words that come out of your mouth. There is power released into your life when you speak God's Word. It is a vital part of appropriating God's promise and activating spiritual forces that will bring God's promises to manifestation.
This is why people don't want to believe it! Jesus said in Mark 11:23-24 that "That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. 24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have.
The Word is the most powerful medicine available today, and it is capable of healing your body without side effects. Psalm 107:20 says: "He sent his Word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions." You notice that the Psalmist said the Word came and healed and delivered you from your destruction. It did not say it came and it might heal you, but came and healed, which means you were already free from the infirmity. Healing is real as far as God is concerned because it was in the atonement (Isaiah 53:5,6). However, it takes time to develop faith in the matter of healing principles so don't let anyone put you under condemnation for seeing your doctor. We all have to operate on our own level of faith, but don't let anything keep you at that level forever because God has better for you.
As you properly apply God's Word over the situation you may be experiencing, your faith will grow to the level where it will be common for you to receive healing in your body. It doesn't happen overnight, but you must begin to apply God's principles so you can experience His best for your body.
God uses spiritual forces which are not seen to nullify natural things that are seen. When you are experiencing something in your body, don't speak what you feel, speak what the Word says. When you begin to use God's method of calling what you desire (Romans 4:17), your body will begin to respond to your faith and demand healing to come forth.
Let's take our medicine:
The Word of God is a daily medicine not just for our minds and soul, but also for our physical bodies. He sent His Word and healed us, and delivered us from our destructions; (Psalm 107:20). Exodus 23:25 says, "And ye shall serve the Lord your God, and He shall bless your bread, and your water; and He will take sickness away from the midst of you."

Father God, my heavenly Father, I thank You for Your healing blessing every day of my life. I believe that I am healed by Jesus' stripes because You said it in Your Word. Hallelujah, thank you Jesus, Glory to God, AMEN.
CONFESSION:
Read John 5:1-9:
"1 After this there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 2 Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches. 3 In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water. 4 For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had. 5 And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years. 6 When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole? 7 The impotent man answered him, Sir I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me. 8 Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk. 9 And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath."

Devotional by Mark Brazzer on healing "365 Days of Healing"
Is any sick among you? 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 shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him. Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed…. —James 5:14-16
Who is the "ye" in the phrase "that ye may be healed"? "Ye" is the body of Christ. Each of us in the body of Christ is to pray for one another so those in the Church may be healed. We Christians will be healthier when we start praying for one another. We need to understand that we have great power in prayer. James 5:16 AMP puts it this way: "The earnest (heartfelt, continued) prayer of a righteous man makes tremendous power available [dynamic in its working]." Praying for each other can make the difference. You see, there are people in the Church and in the world who need your help to understand and take hold of their healing. Why? Some people have never even heard about divine healing. Isaiah 5:13 says, "Therefore my people are gone into captivity, because they have no knowledge…." Others have never been taught how to receive from God. These people need someone to go to the throne of God in prayer for them, praying that the eyes of their understanding are enlightened. (Eph.1:16.) You can be that someone! Your earnest, heartfelt, and continued prayers for another can make tremendous power available.
Confession: As I pray, tremendous power is made available to effect a healing and a cure in others and in me.

THEME SONG: God's Life, Nature, and Ability
I've got the life of God in me
I've got the life of God in me
I've got His life His nature and His ability
I've got the life of God in me
Reading (John 5:1-9):
Questions:
1). How did Jesus heal people? Jesus spoked the Word of God; Jesus was the Word!
2). What is authority?
A view that affirms the Bible's divine inspiration and total truthfulness is of little value if we do not also have a commitment to the Bible's complete and absolute authority in our lives. And any discussion of Biblical authority must begin with God Himself. All authority is located in God!
3). What authority did Jesus give to His disciples?
Luke 9:1 says, "Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases."
4). Explain the Name of Jesus.
In the name of Jesus, is an acknowledgment of the believer's position in Jesus Christ and an understanding that our prayers are heard as we approach the throne of grace. It is in obedience to the command of Jesus, for we cannot pray in our own standing but we pray in His. "God alone made it possible for you to be in Christ Jesus. For our benefit God made Christ to be wisdom itself. He is the one who made us acceptable to God. He made us pure and holy, and he gave himself to purchase our freedom" (1 Corinthians 1:30). Jesus' name in Hebrew was "Yeshua" which translates to English as Joshua. God made authority in the name of Jesus.
5). Read Mark 16:17-18 "And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; 18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover."
6). Why do you suppose today we are not healing as Jesus did in bible days? Explain
Medical science has brain washed the mind of people, that is what the Word mean in 2 Corinthians 4:4 "In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them." It's all about FAITH.
7). Read 2 Chronicles 16:12-13 "And Asa in the thirty and ninth year of his reign was diseased in his feet, until his disease was exceeding great: yet in his disease he sought not to the Lord, but to the physicians.13 And Asa slept with his fathers, and died in the one and fortieth year of his reign."
8). Explain the difference between doctors and Jesus.
As said earlier in lesson 1 and 2 that doctors are for unbelievers, and Jesus is for those who truly have faith in Him.
9). Jesus said, "you shall decree a thing and it shall be established"
10). Read Isaiah 54:17 "No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord."
11). Read your confession for this week.
"I will" is the strongest assertion that can be made in the English language. God is speaking to me now saying, "I will take sickness away from the midst of thee." God is watching over this Word, performing it in me now. He is taking sickness away from the midst of me. Good-bye, sickness! The Lord is taking you away from the midst of me. Thank You, Father, for taking sickness away from me. I thank You for doing what You said. The Lord is taking away from me all sickness. His Word contains the ability to do what it says. His Word will not return void but will accomplish what it was sent to do. The Lord is taking away from me all sickness, every trace of weakness and deficiency. Sickness is going out of me now. Thank You, Father, for taking away from me all sickness like You said
