The World’s Best Medicine: God’s Word

God doesn’t want any person to live with sickness and disease. And one of the best ways I know of to receive healing and maintain health is by taking God’s medicine every day. Some may be wondering, “Does God actually have medicine?” The answer is absolutely YES!

Let’s look at a passage from Proverbs 4:20-23:

My son, give attention to my words;

Incline your ear to my sayings.

Do not let them depart from your eyes;

Keep them in the midst of your heart;

For they are life to those who find them,

And health to all their flesh.

Keep your heart with all diligence,

For out of it spring the issues of life.

Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance defines the word “health” in this passage as medicine. God is saying that His word is literally a medicine, a cure, or a remedy for all our flesh.

Medical science can certainly help in a measure when it comes to alleviating symptoms of disease. However, I can tell you from experience as a registered nurse that much of what the medical world has to offer falls short. Many drugs that promise relief list the numerous side effects if you take them. But God’s method is foolproof! There are never any negative side effects, and it is free of charge!

Notice that Proverbs 4:22 says that health and life are for those who find God’s words. This passage tells us exactly how to find them:

- Pay attention to them.

- Listen to them.

- Keep them before our eyes.

- Keep them in the midst of our hearts.

These are actually instructions for taking God’s medicine. Many make the mistake of substituting belief in healing for the actual taking of God’s medicine, which is His Word. We must follow God’s instructions for taking the medicine if we want it to produce the desired results.

There are two key things to know about God’s medicine:

1.     God’s Word is a powerful, living substance.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

John 1:1

And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.  John 1:14

We see that the Word which became flesh is Jesus. If Jesus is the Word of God, how can it be dead or powerless? It cannot. In the same way that the Word became flesh in Jesus, the Word becomes flesh in us when we believe and act upon it. It manifests as health and strength to the degree that we believe.

Hebrews 4:12 says,

For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword…

When we have a need, the Lord will answer that need with His Word. People cry out to God, and He often answers by sending someone with the answer in their mouth. That answer will always contain the Word of God. If you are hungry and diligently searching for answers, you will receive them. 

Psalm 107:19-20 says,

Then they cried out to the Lord in their trouble,

And He saved them out of their distresses.

He sent His word and healed them,

And delivered them from their destructions.

We see here that God’s response to their cry was to send His Word. His Word healed them and delivered them from their destructions!

The second thing we must know about God’s medicine is this:

2.     We apply the Word of God with our Words.

James 3:2 says,

For we all stumble in many things. If anyone does not stumble in word, he is a perfect man, able also to bridle the whole body.

We can control the outcome of our lives by what we say, and that includes the health and condition of our bodies. When we are meditating upon the Word of God, we should be speaking it. Meditate actually means to mutter. As we speak the Word of God, it penetrates deep within our spirit. As it gets into our spirit and STAYS there, it will permeate every cell of our body with life and health.

We also use our words to speak to negative situations and change them. Mark 11:22-23 says,

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.”

Jesus taught here that what you say is what you get! The whole world lies under the sway of Satan. It’s the easiest thing in the world to speak and act like the world when it comes to symptoms of sickness or pain. However, if we want what the Word promises, we must say what the Word says.

Speak to the mountain of sickness and command it to be removed from your body, in Jesus’ Name. You must keep healing scriptures and truths in your mouth and heart. As God’s medicine gets into your heart and stays there, it will surely bring health to all your flesh.

I would recommend you download our free booklet, “What the Bible Says About Healing”, to help you meditate day and night.
