I Want Some of That God Medicine

I swear I am always amused at how God works!

Yesterday, I was thinking to myself...what in the world am I going to write about this week (I know I know..I say that every week)! Seriously though, I was to a point that I wasn't going to write at all! I mean I absolutely had no clue! I have been feeling better (although still on an all mashed potatoes diet with a little vomiting everyday), but when I saw this little cartoon on a friend's Facebook page, it was like a message from God himself!

Don't you just love when He does that!!!???

So as you already know by now, I have been coming to terms with the fact that I am diabetic and I have high blood pressure and cholesterol. I have been working very hard (working out and eating better) to lower all of those numbers, but mostly, I have been praying for a healing that God would align my body to function once again as He intended it to work. (Ephesians 4:16)

Did you know that the Word has directions for our cure?

That is just so awesome to me!

As I grow and study more, I become more and more aware of the blueprint for my life that has been sitting in my home for so many years!

But let's not dwell in the past!

I am so happy that now I know it's there, and whenever I am lost or discouraged or just have a "God craving" it's there and I can refer to it!

So now, I refer to it daily and the revelations that God has revealed to me, is just AWESOME!

Once we get in our Word and truly allow it to begin to penetrate within us, then you will begin to realize that His Word gives life and healing to our bodies!

Oh what a wonderful revelation!

In order for His word to fully penetrate us, we have to learn to pay careful attention to what God's Word and Holy Spirit is telling us. How do we do that? We have to be diligent. Continue to seek Him daily! Not just when times are bad, but all times. Make a commitment to commune with Him on a daily basis. We have to learn to put Him first in our lives!

We also have to listen to his words. His Word tells us that, "my sheep will know my voice." (John 10:27) So we first have to become His sheep. How do we become His sheep? Well that is very very simple, we must confess with our mouths and believe in our hearts that Jesus Christ is Lord and Savior. By doing this, you will become saved! (Romans 10:9)

Once we are saved and we get into God's wonderful word, remember not to lose sight of what it says! That's the key! So often we get distracted and the enemy pounces and makes us feel like we are alone in this race! But we just have to remember that God's "prescription" is way more powerful than any other force! (Isaiah 54:17)

Now because we know that God does not fail and His word is true and does not return void (Isaiah 55:11), when we don't receive our healing, the problem must lie somewhere else. So we must stand firm in our faith. We have to believe that not only are our prayers heard, but that they are also being answered.

I read this once and I copied it into my phone, so that whenever I felt the enemy try and make me doubt my deliverance and healing, I could repeat it aloud!

So if you are going through a period of doubt, just read this aloud and meditate on it:

"By His stripes I am healed! My God meets all my needs according to His riches in glory! I am more than a conqueror in Christ Jesus. I overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the word of my testimony! Great is the peace of my children!"

I also refer to this quite often. I got this from a Kenneth Copeland devotional and I love it:

"I am a new creature in Christ Jesus. I am born of God. I am filled with the Holy Spirit who proceeds from the Father. I am endowed with the Name of Jesus, which is "far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is names, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come'" (Ephesians 1:21) "Greater is He that is in me, than he that is in the world." (1 John 4:4). "Leave my presence in Jesus' Name!" (James 4:7)

I also keep this prayer handy:

"Our Loving Heavenly Father, 

I have been so worried about this situation. I see no solution...no way out. But I realize that I don't have to see the answer. I need to trust you to work this out in your way and in your time. Please Father, help me to continue to put all my trust in you and be patient in this situation.

In Jesus' Name I pray, Amen."

So stay encouraged on your journey to healing. Know that when you are in the bosom of Christ Jesus, you are never alone. He is only a prayer and a scripture away. 

My suggestion, find as many encouraging scriptures as you can in the Bible. Write or type them and keep them with you at all times. So when things get tough, you have your "medicine" and you can overcome those "symptoms". 

To get you started, here are a few that I refer to, feel free to copy and paste them and print them out for yourself! 

"A merry heart does good like medicine, but a broken spirit dries the bones." Proverbs 17:22

"And the Lord will take away all your sickness, and will afflict with none of the terrible diseases of Egypt which you have known, but will lay them on all those who hate you." Deuteronomy 7:15

"Oh Lord, my God, I cried out to you, and you healed me." Psalms 30:2

"Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them all." Psalms 34:19

"Is any among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven." James 5:14-15

"Confess your faults one to another, and pray for one another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man avail much." James 5:16

"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." Proverbs 4:20-22

"Those who live in the Most High will find rest in shadow of the Almighty." Psalms 91:1

"Come to me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." Matthew 11:28

These are just a few scriptures that I like to refer to, but I assure you there are many many more!!

Just remember, we receive God's healing through our faith. We shouldn't require from Him a "sign" to believe in His powers of healing. He wants us to receive his healing through our faith! 1 Timothy 6:12) In order to remain faithful, we have to let go of doubt and unbelief. (Matthew 21:21)

 Faith is a fight and we have to have confidence in God's Word and "fight the good fight of faith!" (

So just remember, we have to be diligent in taking our healing prescription daily and often until we receive our cure!

Until next week...be blessed!
