Say What God Says: A Key to Receiving Your Healing

Have you ever heard someone say about situations, “I just call things like I see them”? Or have you seen the slogan, “Seeing is Believing”? I’m sure these people take pride in what they think is honesty.

However, these phrases actually contradict the Word of God. If you keep saying what you see, you will keep on having what you see. If what you see is not what you want, this will keep you in a bad place. I’ll prove this to you from the scriptures.

Let’s first look at what Jesus said about this:

So Jesus answered and said to them, “Have faith in God.

For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says.”

Mark 11:22-23 NKJV

Jesus is showing us that our words matter. He is also showing us how the faith of God operates, and then tells us to do the same thing. A more literal translation of “Have faith in God” is “Have the faith OF God”! We see how the faith of God operates in creation in Genesis.

And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.

Genesis 1:3 KJV

And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.

Genesis 1:9 KJV

And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.

Genesis 1:11 KJV

Everything that God created was done by His faith. Notice He SAID it and it was so.

We saw in Mark 11:23 that when we say something and do not doubt in our heart, but believe, we will have whatever WE say! Faith believes with the heart and speaks with the mouth! Faith says the desired outcome before ever seeing it.

We see this very principle in the life of Abraham.

As it is written, I have made you the father of many nations. [He was appointed our father] in the sight of God in Whom he believed, Who gives life to the dead and speaks of the nonexistent things that [He has foretold and promised] as if they [already] existed. [Gen 17:5.]

Romans 4:17 AMPC

The King James version says, “even God, Who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things that be not as though they were.”

Many have argued, “That’s God. He can do that.” But we know that Abraham did the same thing that God did. He had a struggle for a while. For around 24 years, he and Sarah still did not have the promised child. So God came along and helped his faith. God changed his name. He was called Abram, but then God changed his name to Abraham.

Abraham means the father of a multitude. Going forward, every time someone addressed him, they called him father of a multitude. Every time he introduced himself, he said out of his own mouth, “I’m the father of a multitude.”

No unbelief or distrust made him waver (doubtingly question) concerning the promise of God, but he grew strong and was empowered by faith as he gave praise and glory to God.

Romans 4:20 AMPC

Notice that Abraham grew strong and was empowered by faith as he gave praise and glory to God. One way that we give glory to God is to agree with Him. The way we agree is to say the same thing that God says about us.

Hebrews 4:14 says,

Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession.

The Greek translation for the last part of that verse is, “Let us hold fast to saying the same things.” We are to hold fast to saying the same things that God is saying about us and our situations.

1 Peter 2:24 says, “By whose stripes you WERE healed.” We are to hold fast to saying we WERE healed, regardless of our symptoms.

This is what Abraham did.

 He did not weaken in faith when he considered the [utter] impotence of his own body, which was as good as dead because he was about a hundred years old, or [when he considered] the barrenness of Sarah’s [deadened] womb. [Gen 17:17; 18:11.]

Romans 4:19 AMPC

Abraham and Sarah had symptoms of barrenness. If Sarah was 16 when she married Abraham, they would have tried for nearly 75 years to get pregnant. Think about that the next time you think your situation is hopeless!

But because Abraham finally began to say what God said, he began to call those things that did not exist in the natural as though they already did—he got to the place where he no longer considered the natural condition of their bodies.

And then he became fully convinced in his heart:

[And] being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform.

Romans 4:21 NKJV

Just as Abraham did, we too will become fully convinced that we are healed if we will agree with God and say what God says continually.

Don’t say it like you see it in the natural.

Say what God says, and you will have your healing!
