The word belongs in two places in your mouth and in your heart. Because whatever gets into your heart and mouth will make it's way into your life. Jesus said it this way, "For verily I say unto you, 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." Because your heart and mouth are doorways for things to come into your life and also out of your life. Because Jesus also said, "For verily I say unto you, If ye have faith(in your heart) as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove: and nothing shall be impossible unto you." That mountain can represent a problem in your life. Notice in both of those scriptures your heart and mouth are involved. Notice what Jesus said in Revelation 3:20, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock; if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me." What door is he knocking at, the door of your heart(spirit). Jesus (the word) wants to come into your heart, so there is a door of your heart. But, also notice what David said in Psalm 141:3, "Set a watch, O Lord, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips." So there is also a door of your mouth. Notice a door serves two purpose as an entrance and an exit. So things are coming into and out of your life when you know how to work your mouth and heart together. I believe David tapped into that when he said, "Let the words of my mouth, and the meditations of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer." But, notice the heart and mouth working together.
The door of your heart is a doorway into your spirit and once something is in your spirit and you open the door of your mouth that thing is released into your life. Jesus said that this way, "For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things." Take salvation for instance, with your heart you believe and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. You work your heart and mouth together and salvation shows up in your life. It's with the heart you believe and with the mouth you speak. So, it's not just speaking and it's not just believing, but both working together. When the word enters you it first works on you (renewing the mind and bringing faith to your heart) and after it works on you now it's ready to be released into your life and work on your situations. So, any word of God that you can get in your heart and speak out of your mouth will make it's way into your life. Let's take Mary for instance an angel brought Mary a word "And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS." And Mary believed that word and not just believed, but she also spoke, "Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word." And Jesus showed up and we can live according to the words she believed and spoke. When that outside word became an inside word and she spoke it Jesus came in the earth. How about the woman with the issue of blood she heard about Jesus and according to what she heard she said, "If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole." And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague. And Jesus said, "Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole." So by her heart and mouth working together healing came into her life. So, if you have a situation in your life put the word in your mouth and heart and keep it there and watch the word work (Hebrews 6:12 Isaiah 55:11).
Yeshua’s sheep are all under one covenant.
The end time believers are to be grafted into the same covenant. (end times began at the resurrection)
>> “If someone had the gift of healing, they could heal all people all the time, like Jesus did.” <<
Like Jesus did? - Really?
Jesus healed by forgiving sin.
Healing through sanctification, and healing through the gift are two completely separate things.
You can bring about your own healing without any gift, by rebuking your own curses, be they generational, or out of hatred and bitterness, or out of the great sin of fear, you can confess them, rebuke them, and repent of them, and as you walk them out you will be healed.
That is what sanctification is.
...faking..the gifts...I've seen a S t r e a c h for an excuse before, but this has to rate the biggest I've ever encountered.
First of all, you must understand just what "carnal", "milk", and "meat" Paul was speaking of. "Carnal" means OUTWARD MAN. Doing things that please or impress the OUTWARD MAN. Like signs, wonders, miracles, healers, etc. You know, all those 5 sense things that are used by outward man in order to "prove" to themselves that they are Godly, have more faith than others, etc. "faking" where their position and condition in Christ is actually. That would be the heavenlies. "NOW faith is the substance of things hoped for,the evidence of things NOT SEEN". Heb. 11:1, once again.
Nonsense you slay the language.
Carnal means living for the flesh, and by the flesh.
It means disregarding the power of the kingdom in your every day life.
...what do you think I was describing when I talked about the outward man? CARNAL MAN. Living for the outward man, and BY THE OUTWARD MAN. That IS CARNAL. Good grief. Is it that difficult to comprehend? That would be a great example of the MILK. And not the MEAT of Paul’s writings.
Seriously, “outward” conveys nothing WRT man’s spiritual condition. It is an obfuscatory word in this usage.
The Corinthians were so aloof from God that they had no real idea what the spiritual gifts even meant. Paul chided them for faking speaking in tongues (funny, people still do that today) and said they’d be better off speaking in tongues they had learned as Paul himself had.
The Corinthian is the essence of the modern ‘believer.’

Wow, I didn’t mean to say it three times!
Your argument is with Jesus.
Luke 22:20 And likewise the cup after they had eaten, saying, “This cup that is poured out for you is the new covenant in my blood.
He said it's new. It's new.
Well, that certainly bears repeating......
Go back to verse 19, where he declares his body is given, which is a promise under the original, eternal covenant.
Thankyou again for a wonderful inspiring article.
