#5 Planting God’s Word in Your Heart

Parts of this are taken from Gloria Copeland’s 10 day Health & Healing action plan.

Pro 4:20 My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings.
Pro 4:21 Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart.
Pro 4:22 For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh.
Pro 4:23 Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.

In His Word is everything, the answer to every question and the solution to every problem. In His Word is the way to stay healthy, the way to be healed, the way to prosper and the list goes on and on. You will never encounter something that the Word does not cover. It is not possible because if that were the case then God would encounter surprises through our lives and that Just can’t be. He knew us before the womb and the beginning from the end!

So in Sister Gloria’s action plan she makes the statement “God’s medicine”. She is referring to the Word of God and again in it is the answer to every problem! Man I love it. I don’t have to spend my life trying to figure it out; it is already done for me. The Word is something that every believer cannot do without! Proverbs 4:20 “attend to my Words” and throughout the Bible we read things like “seek first” and other such statements and we have to know that the only way this will come is by time in the Word of God. But it only makes sense because we gain wisdom from knowledge and knowledge we gain from reading/studying something. No matter what you seek to be in life, you will some home have to read up on it and or study it out. Isaiah 26:3 tells us “Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee”. As we spend time in the Word and keep your mind on it, you will stay at peace and will trust in Him. .

As we fill ourselves with the Word, that is what will come out of us. I remember hearing a statement that what comes out when our bucket is bumped is a direct reflection to what we put in. If you put water in a bucket then water comes out and if you put the Word in you, then Word is what comes out. In Matthew 12:34 Jesus said, “Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks”. So what are you putting in you? Just a side thought, what are you putting in your children and your whole house for that matter?

When we are full we can come to the place of the Word being a reality that is greater than how something may feel or look. It has to become a reality in every area of our life! We must keep our eyes trained on the Lord and not the problem. We must speak the Word and not the situation. It says “calling those things that be not as though they were”.

So today just take a full dose of the Word. In fact give yourself an overdose of the Holy Ghost and watch will happen.


Father I thank you in the name of Jesus that Your Word is life to all who read this and that Your Supernatural overtakes the natural and that bodies are being healed right now in the name of Jesus. That minds are being renewed and that captives are being set free. I declare this done in Jesus name – AMEN!

I pray you have a very blessed day and always know that you are loved!

Be blessed----Keith

#4 Jesus healed them ALL!!!!

Parts of this have been taken from Gloria Copeland’s Health & Wellness 10 day action plan.

OK..... This did not stop @ #3 I just got busy but I am back now. I am completing day 10 tomorrow and have truly been blessed by this program! I am going back to day one and starting all over again.

Anyway the title of this post says it all! Jesus healed them ALL with one exception but we will talk about that as we move forward.

When we read about Jesus in the Word of God, we find that He did not speak His words. You can read that in John 8:28 (AMP). He only spoke and did what the God told Him to say & do. Our life should be a direct image of that also. For instance what are the words that come out of your mouth towards your health. 1 Peter 2:24 tells us, that by His stripes you were healed. Not going to be but already are! That's a perfect example of that. The same goes for every area of your life. Find it in the Word and say nothing but what the Word says. Jesus has already healed them ALL from ALL things known and unknown to man! Take a moment and turn to the following scriptures and read them.
Matthew 12:15
Matthew 14:14
Matthew 15:30
Luke 4:40
He laid hands on everyone of them and they were healed! Did you see that? They were ALL healed!!!!! Now is a good time to through your hands in the air and praise the Lord for ALL that He has done for you.

Hebrews 13:8 tells us he is the same yesterday, today and forever!!!! So if he did it then for them, He will and has done it for us. Sickness is like sin in the fact that it is under the Blood, past, present and future. When man think they have found something new that could hurt and end man kind, I can hear my God saying I don't think so! My Son died for that also! The power of sickness, sin and death has and will always be broken!

I said we would talk about where not all were healed. Turn and read mark 6:1-6. I remember a country song that talked about "Here's you sign". It fits that place and the people that lived there. Just think of what they missed out on. But to be honest people miss the very same thing every day. They reject Him for one reason or another.

Something to think about:

Why in Mark 6 did only a few get healed? What held the others back? Now for the big question. That very thing that kept them from being healed, have you allowed some of that in your life?

We have read over and over again what Jesus did then, how do we know He will still do it now?

In what way can you and I combat doubt and disbelief?

More scripture to chew on:
1 Peter 2;24
Isaiah 53:5
James 5:15
Matthew 8:17

We need to make it known once and for all that our bodies are off limits to the devil and every unclean thing in this world! You need to remind the devil daily of his past and off course his future.

It's time you immerse yourself in the Word of God and let it over take you in every area.

How does healing come and how often? Before you answer think about all that is listed above.

Whatever you are going through this day just know that you are more than a conquer through Christ Jesus. Don't give up, don't back down! You already have the victory.

If there is something that I can pray with you for please let me know! Again all this up to know and that is coming ahead and part of what I am getting from Gloria Copeland's action plan and of course the Holy Spirit. So me asking for your prayer request is also in the same, straight from the Holy Spirit.

I pray God's richest over you this day in all that you place you hands upon.

Be blessed,
Keith

#3 He Bore our sickness

Parts of this have been taken from Gloria Copeland’s Health & Wellness 10 day action plan.

Matthew 8:17 says He Himself took our infirmities, and bore our sickness.

OK, let’s think about this for a moment. If you had someone come to you and purchase lets say a car for you. They take to the dealership and say pick out what you want. You pick it out and go to the finance office and they write the check that covers it in full. They hand you paid in full paper work. It’s yours, paid in full. No one else owns it, because the price has been paid for it for you. But then you say OK, how much do I owe? And they say but it has been paid in full, and you say yes but what do I owe. I know it sounds silly but every day all over the world Christians are doing this very thing. Why are we paying the price for what Christ paid the price for? Again read Matthew 8:17 and take it to heart once and for all. Once we do, sickness, disease, and deformity can no longer rule over us. It can only do what we allow it to do. We can read the same thing in Isaiah 53. Again just receive what the Word of God says about you, once and for all.

Satan has NO right to torment you spiritually, physically, financially or socially. 1 John 3:8 tells us that Christ came to destroy the works of the devil, and that is what He did! GLORY TO GOD!!!!! Makes me want to run and shout! =)

What does the Bible say that Jesus bore on the cross for us?

And with that price, what was the reward for us?

And it is ours with salvation, if we will simply believe and start from this day submersing ourselves with the Word of God, things will change. It says “meditate day and night” and “seek first the Kingdom of God” and then it will come upon us and over take us… What will? IT!!!!! What is it? Everything you could ever want or need that lines up with the Word of God.

Here is food for thought…
Healing is not a new provision that came because of the ministry of Jesus. Healing was provided for you and me under the Abrahamic Covenant. You can read about this in Genesis 17:1-5, 7. Remember He is El Shaddai, which means to me, He is ALL I need, yesterday, today and forever!!!! RUNNING TIME AGAIN! God is so good!

Nahum 1:9 He will bring an utter end of it; affliction will not rise up a second time.

Go read Deuteronomy 28 about the blessing but pay very close attention to verses 1 & 2. Many read this and focus on the blessing without focusing on how we get it. We must “hearken diligently unto the voice of the Lord they God”.


As you read through the above, if you were thinking, man I have missed it! Right now is the best time for a new fresh start. Remember what Romans 8:1 says and move forward from here. Again remember that Christ paid the price so you would not have to. You were created to live in the fullness of the blessing, so do it!!!!

I hope that you have been blessed in some way by these teachings. I highly recommend Sister Gloria’s action plan to ALL. It will change your life. But stay tuned as we move forward hear for things to come. I would love to hear from you with your thoughts and testimonies.

Be blessed and keep reaching forward,
Keith

#2 Cost of tradition

I might step on some toes here as I do this post but I have to do as the Holy Spirit directs! So please read forward with an open mind.

Cost of tradition and then also what we call hereditary.

James 1:17 God doesn't change! He said in Genesis 1:26 He made us in His Image and likeness! So if we are going to believe in hereditary, then lets believe that anything hereditary we have came from Him. Therefore there is NO sickness, disease, deformity or any such thing! End of discussion, final word, nothing else needs to be said!!! You gotta love it =) So it's time in the name of Jesus to receive what is truly been passed down to us and through us! Some people christian or not are walking wondering when this or that is going to happen because Uncle buck or Aunt Sue had it. But it's time we receive what the Blood has truly done for us. He has redeemed us forever more from all things not pertaining to life and Godliness.

What traditions or hereditary things have you been caring and also your children? It's time to put them in there place! Under the Blood where they belong.

Also think about how tradition has held back the church. We have said you can't dress this way or listen to that instead of focusing what is truly important which is their salvation. The whole in my jeans will not keep me out of heaven but the lack of my salvation will. The Body of Christ has become a house divided by tradition and we know what Luke 11:17 says about that, "a house divided against itself will fall". Anyway this was just a rabbit trail, but a good one! =)

As this said, its time to let go or tradition and the so called hereditary things of this world. God said nothing about them in His Word and His Word is and always will be the final word on ALL things.

Take time right now to go to the Father and first repent and then next let those things go.

You are healed, you are whole, you are healthy.... From the top of your head to the soils of your feet. Just receive it now. Go now and start doing the things you could not do. Step out in faith on the Word of God just as Peter did when he stepped of the boat! It's your time so receive it NOW!!! In Jesus Name-AMEN!

Your are blessed and don't you ever forget it!

A new day!!!!

Praise God for a new day of life! According to Romans 8:1, there is therefor now NO condemnations for those that are in Christ Jesus! That is good news, isn't it? No matter what the past has held up to now, once you ask for forgiveness it is done. So let it go, move forward and receive all that He has for you in the blessed new day.
Keep Reaching Forward,
Keith

#1 God wants you healed

We must first and foremost realize that God wants you healed! In each entry I am going to list scriptures for you to go and read and research. Don't just read them but take time to meditate on them. We must plant the Word of God in our heart. In God's thinking healing is now and not later. The delay is because of us.

Luke 6:17-19
Psalm 91:16
Psalm 103:2-3
1 Cor 3:21-23
Pro 4:20-22
Exodus 15:26
Psalm 103:1-3
1 Peter 2:24

The list could go on and on. Jesus always healed!

We must make the decision that God wants us healed. He does not put things on us to make us pay. Jesus already did that for us. He went to the cross and suffered ALL so we would not have to. On the cross the price was paid for ALL sin (past, present and future) and ALL sickness.

When I read 3 John 2 I see the very heart of God for us. It says "Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in every way and [that your body] may keep well, even as [I know] your soul keeps well and prospers" (AMP).

Again take the above scriptures and meditate on them and keep them before you all day.

Prayer of faith:
In the name of Jesus I am healed from the top of my head to the soils of my feet. I have been redeemed from ALL sin, sickness and disease now and forever more. I am free!!!!
In Jesus Name, AMEN

Keep Reaching Forward,
Keith

A time for refreshing!!!!!

Hello to all.... I want to invite you to come along with me on a journey. A journey of change and refreshing. So away we go! Once upon a time in a land far, far away lived a young man :) Just kidding!!!!

Well here we are, I started on August 1, 2009 with what I am calling a time of refreshing. I started Gloria Copeland's Healing and Wellness Bible Study. They call it a 10 day Spiritual Action plan. I have had to skip one day since I started so I am on the 4th day even though it has been 5 since I started! I would recommend it to all, it is truly amazing!

The Word says in John 10:10 (AMP) The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it [a]overflows). Jesus paid the price so we would not have to. We just need to walk in the fullness of what Jesus did for us. We must make the decision to do this once and for all!

For now I am going to focus on health and healing but other subjects will come as directed by the Holy Spirit.

When I was a young boy I got injured on the playground at school. I had to go by ambulance to the hospital and a doctors visit for a follow-up. The doctor told me that I was born with a certain issue with my knees. Now there has been a lot of history since then from surgery's (x3)to multiple ambulance rides and so on. I have seen like many John 10:10 in part active in my life with what the thief has come to do. Over the years I have had many physical attacks on my body. I am NOT saying this to give the devil any glory at all. I am healed no matter what my body feels like or what symptoms might be trying to show themselves. Since starting this study my faith has been ignited and a refreshing has been released in my body. My prayers are that the same will happen in you.

Before I close this entry I want to make sure that you have taken the first and most important step to receiving all that He has for us. Have you made Jesus your Lord and Savior? If not please say this prayer with me:
Lord Jesus, I ask you to come into my life and make me new. I confess you as my Lord and Savior. I ask for forgiveness of sin and receive it by faith now. Thank you in Jesus name.... AMEN!

I pray God's richest over you and all that you place your hands upon.

Always remember you are never alone. He is always there for you.

Keep Reaching Forward,
Keith
