My son, attend to my words; consent and submit to my sayings. Let them not depart from your sight; keep them in the center of your heart. For they are life to those who find them, healing and health to all their flesh. Proverbs 4:20-22 (AMPC)
Today’s verse teaches an important lesson about God’s Word. What you read in the Bible is more than just words. It contains life-changing potential.
It also shows us how this potential is activated—when you plant God’s Word in your heart.
You see, bringing it into your mind through your ears and eyes is important, but its real power is released when you get it into your heart. That’s when it brings you life.
If you keep hearing, reading and meditating on healing scriptures and teaching, eventually you develop a strong belief in your heart, and this belief will bring healing to your body. As your heart grabs hold of that promise, it begins to flow out of your heart and into your life.
Don’t make the mistake of thinking that God is holding on to your miracle up in heaven. Healing doesn’t come from heaven. You don’t have to try to earn brownie points so He will want to drop a miracle on your lap, and begging and pleading doesn’t do it either. God has already released in you the potential to have every promise. It’s the beliefs in your heart that determine whether or not you will walk them out.
Watch and listen to great Christian resources, read books, study God’s promises, listen to others’ testimonies and hang around people who believe. Get your heart convinced any way you can. When you do, God’s Word will wash away misbeliefs and fear, and your miracle will flow out of this believing heart.
