Healing through the Word. October 3/2010 at AG-Church(Friendship)



The healing anointing is manifested in several ways and we can see it in the scripture as healing through the Word. Psalm 107:20 says,

• “He sent his word, and healed them.” Whenever the Word of God is spoken in faith from the lips of a believer, then God’s healing power is activated.

• Jesus often spoke the word and many were healed.

Remember the story of the centurion who came to Jesus seeking healing for his servant? The centurion said to Him, “Speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed.

• (Matthew 8:8, 9). Jesus said that had not found so great faith in all of Israel. The centurion’s servant was healed when Jesus spoke the word.

God's Word Is Christian Faith's Highest Authority

We believe that God's Word is Christian faith's highest authority, and thus Christian faith's guiding principles and doctrine must be examined and evaluated in the light of God's Word. (2 Peter 1:20,21; 2 Tim. 3:16).

The Power of God's Word

If there is anything our generation of Christians needs to ponder and experience anew it is the power of God's Word. For only when we seize and are seized by the Word of God do we know the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe (Eph. 1:19). And only when our faith stands in God's power do we discover what the Word of God really is (1 Cor. 2:5).

God’s word is spoken of in Proverbs 4: 22 as being medicine to all our flesh. The word of God is the most powerful medicine available today, and it is capable of bringing lasting healing to every part of our lives without negative side effects

God’s Word is unchanging and eternal

According to Jesus, the content and the message of the Word of God does not change along with changes in the world. God's Word is always timely. Heb. 6:13-18

Jesus Christ was existing in the beginning as the Word of God. He was being with God and He was being God (John 1:1-2). Jesus is called the WORD of God because He is the fullest and most precise expression of Who God Is.

• In order to distinguish God's healing from other forms of 'healing ministry', it is vital to acknowledge that Jesus is the healer at all times (Isa 53.4; Mat 8.17).
