KJV Proverbs 4:23 Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life. New International Version Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it. GOD'S WORD® Translation Guard your heart more than anything else, because the source of your life flows from it. NET Bible Guard your heart with all vigilance, for from it are the sources of life. Notice, one translation says, everything you do flows from it and Jesus shows that same point in Mark 7:14-23: 14 And when he had called all the people unto him, he...

Hebrews 4:12 says, For the word of God is quick(alive), and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. When God releases the word He also releases the power. And the natural/physical realm can not resist the power of the word, you see that in Genesis chapter 1. Everything God said He saw because when He said He released the power to see. And understand that the word of God can do whatever...

20 My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. 21 Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. 22 For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh. 23 Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life. Notice, a key point you might have an issue in your flesh, but the answer can come through your heart(not your blood pump)/spirit. That word health is translated as medicine, remedy, healing, cure. He said keep the word in...

16 For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. 17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; 18 While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal. 1.) How can you look at something not seen, it can not be something done by with the physical...

1 Peter 2:24 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed. Notice, the phrase by whose stripes ye were healed, so that is not a promise. A promise is something to be done in the future, but that is a statement of truth that is already done. So, there is healing available right now, it's not a matter of having to wait for something to be done because something has already been done. Now, what has been done...

People think that God will do things when they get the faith, wrong. Let's see, Hebrews 11:1 says Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. That kind of thinking is actually backwards. Because, if faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen, that means you can't have the faith unless it's already done by God. Think about it, how can you have the substance of something if it doesn't exist. By the very scripture itself tells you that. So, it's not that you have to...

1.) God has invested a lot in your words, and I don't think people realize how important your words are. Especially, if you are a child of God. Romans 8:11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you. He's in there, but is he manifesting. Because, the thing is he needs your cooperation. He is a spirit and you are a spirit, but God has established that only a spirit with...

If you want to know how God is then look at Jesus, I want you to see God's true nature. Not what people think because of circumstances, but his true nature and character. First of all I want you to see what the scripture says about God and not peoples opinion. I want you to see this scripture in different translations: Hebrews 1:3 New International Version The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the...

God's word can handle your condition, no matter what it is. God works through his word, you see that when you see Jesus. You see him healing with his word, well Jesus said, "I only say what my Father tells me," so whatever he said was a word from God. And you see when a leper came to him to be cleansed he spoke, "Be clean." And the man was cleansed, that was God's word to the man. You see in John 5 a man had a condition for 38 years where he could not walk and Jesus commanded him,...

I want to encourage you that you can trust God for your healing. In 2 Kings 5 there was a Syrian captain that had leprosy so the king sent him to the man of God for him to be healed. So, God through the man of God told him, Go and wash in Jordan seven times, and thy flesh shall come again to thee, and thou shalt be clean. Notice, the certainty that if you do as I said you will be cleansed. And what happened, Then went he down, and dipped himself seven times in Jordan, according to the...

Matthew 17:20 And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith 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. Most people would look at the size of the mountain, but the size of the mountain is not the issue, the power of the word is the issue. Notice, it says, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder...

Matthew 7:17,18 17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Matthew 12:33 33 Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit. Notice, Jesus kept talking about fruit, fruit represents a manifestation of something, it's the product of something. Notice a point he's making what you can see is the result or product of...

In Matthew 9:27-30 it reads, 27 As Jesus went on from there, two blind men followed Him, crying out, “Have mercy on us, Son of David!” 28When He entered the house, the blind men came up to Him, and Jesus said to them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” They said to Him, “Yes, Lord.” 29Then He touched their eyes, saying, “It shall be done to you according to your faith.” 30And their eyes were opened. And Jesus sternly warned them: “See that no one knows about this!” Notice, the first thing Jesus asked them, "Do...

Gen. 1:11-12,20-21,24,26-28: 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. 12 And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good. 20 And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven....

In Proverbs 4:20-22 it says something very powerful about God's word that people need to understand. It says, My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. 21 Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. 22 For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh. They are life which has to do with revive, give life to, quicken, restore to life. That's wonderful by itself, but they are also health which means medicine, healing, remedy, and cure and that's to all your flesh....

1 Kings 17:1-9: 17 And Elijah the Tishbite, who was of the inhabitants of Gilead, said unto Ahab, As the Lord God of Israel liveth, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word. 2 And the word of the Lord came unto him, saying, 3 Get thee hence, and turn thee eastward, and hide thyself by the brook Cherith, that is before Jordan. 4 And it shall be, that thou shalt drink of the brook; and I have commanded the ravens to feed thee there. 5 So he went and...

I was reading Jeremiah 3 and the grace and love of God, the heart of God is so amazing. After the children of Israel had done such evil as forgetting and forsaking God to worship idols and other kinds of evil the heart of God was still more toward showing mercy than judgement and condemnation. Yes, God is gracious and merciful, but He is gracious and merciful to deliver you from sin and not for you to stay in it and enjoy it. God wants you to turn from it not stay in it. After they had been doing their...

1 John 3:5,8 1 John 3:5 KJV And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin. 1 John 3:8 KJV He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. So, the works of the devil have to do with sin. Because before sin there was no works of the devil. In Genesis 3:22 it reads, And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one...

People do not realize what God has already done for them through Christ Jesus. But, God has already released grace and mercy to everyone and it's available for everyone through Christ Jesus. And God desires that you accept it, 1 Timothy 2:4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. A lot of people have the wrong idea of how God is. People think that God is waiting to condemn them or He's waiting to punish them, but God would rather show mercy that judgement. That's why 2 Peter 3:9 says,...

Things that are reality in the spirit, it's not that they don't exist, but they have to be received or manifested. You can't rely on your senses to tell you whether what God said is true or not. It's something outside of your sensory perception, but just because it's outside of your sensory perception doesn't mean it does not exists. For example a dog whistle, you can blow it all you want to, but you will never hear it, but a dog will. So, there is a sound because the dog hears it, but it's outside of your sensory perception....
