There is Nothing Incurable or Impossible with God.
By Emily Dotson
Our Heavenly Father will do anything that you can believe Him for — if you know how to get Him to do it. He is a faith God, and by using your faith He will perform impossible medical tasks. By using your faith, no doctor’s report is too difficult for God to change. The Word tells us “Without faith it is impossible to please God” (Heb. 11:6) and “With God all things are possible” (Mt. 19:16b). So faith is the hand that reaches God.
The Bible is God’s book of instructions, and by studying the Bible you can learn how to reach God. It teaches how to increase your faith, so that you can please God. You can turn the doctor’s incurable report around from defeat to victory, just as I turned my incurable report of Lupus into health and victory. And I did it by using God’s Word.
David said, “Thy Word is a lamb unto my feet, and light unto my path” (Psalm 119:105). He was saying that God’s Word shone a light on his path, so that his feet would not stumble. So that He would not fall into satan’s unbelief, sin-trap. Many people have stumbled and have fallen — by not using God’s Word to light their pathway.
We cannot live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God:” (Matt. 4:4). God came as Jesus and breathed life into His Word. According to John 1:1, the Word and Jesus are one and the same. His words bring life to all that find them. Proverbs says, “My son, attend to my words; incline your ear unto my sayings. Let them not depart from your eyes. Keep them in the midst of your heart. They are life unto those that find them and health to all their flesh” (Pr.4:20-22).
God is a speaking Spirit, and we are speaking spirits made in His image. Therefore we must follow God’s instructions in His Word. God is a Spirit and they that worship Him must worship Him in Spirit and in truth; (Jn. 4:23). God spoke the world into existence. He quickens the dead, and calls things that are not, as though they were, by (Ro. 4:17). And by using His same method we also can change our bad circumstances around.
As we speak to the Mountain-problem we can move it. God made mountains as He spoke, and we can move them, our problems, by speaking to them: (Mk.11:23-24). Jesus is: “faithful witness, the first born from the dead” and “He is prince of the Kings of the earth. Unto Him who loved us and washed us in His Own Blood, and has made us Kings and Priests unto God:” (Rev. 1:5-6). Since Jesus made us to be as Kings and Priests unto God we must decree His Words, and then we can get what we decree. However, before faith is established in our heart, we must build faith a foundation. As to speak God’s Word with our mouth establishes faith in our heart. You can know if you are in hope or in faith by knowing that hope comes before faith. If you stay in hope without building faith or trust, the hope can leave room for doubt or questioning to creep into your mind and heart.
Therefore follow God’s Law by speaking His Word out loud with your mouth, as Mark 11:23-24 instructs. Hope builds our faith. When we wait on the promise…faith in our heart keeps peace in our mind, so our mind stays peaceful and calm. That kind of faith enables the promise to manifest. Then our peace remains, because we trust in God’s promise. But if we are only in hope then our mind does not stay peaceful and calm.
When I battled the forces of hell to survive, and be healed from lupus…I visualized myself as though I were in God’s lifeboat…riding a violent, raging sea. I would say: “This storm cannot destroy or sink my boat, because Jesus is riding inside the boat with me. He walks on water, and He is unsinkable! So therefore I’m unsinkable.”
When we have Jesus in our heart…we will have His Words coming out of our mouth! Then as we speak His Word – we will overcome every attack. Spoken words of faith activate the promises of God, and thereby bring them into existence. The same Spirit that raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in you, and He that raised Christ from the dead, shall also quicken your mortal body, by His Spirit that dwells in you; (Ro. 8:11).
As you keep faith inside your heart it expels doubt from your mind. The Word of God is the only report that can keep you from the sin of unbelief. David said, “Thy Word have I hid in my heart, that I might not sin against Thee;” (Ps. 119:11.) David’s faith pleased God. He knew the Word stopped the sin of doubt, and unbelief. By Ro. 14: 23-b, “Whatsoever is not of faith is sin.” Therefore hide God’s Word in your heart and build your relationship with Him so you can gain sufficient faith to please Him.
By studying the book of Ephesians you can know the believer’s rights. Knowing who you are in Christ will enable you to use faith and gain many blessings. Eph. 1:3 tells us that we are blessed in Christ. He desires to fill our heart though satan wars against our mind. Learn to walk the love walk, because spiritual gifts flow out of our love walk with God and with our fellow man.
Christ must dwell in our heart by faith, so that we can be rooted and grounded in love (Eph.3:17). After our new birth we must act like God as people with power that the world doesn’t have. Ephesians Chapter 4:26-32 tells what to turn away from. And Chapter 5:1-2, tells us what to follow after. If we follow our mental senses we follow the flesh; but our born again Spirit enables us to follow after God.
Love is our first step toward walking in Christ, so we must not follow after the flesh and fall prey to satan’s big sin-trap. According to Jesus’ words, love fulfills God’s Love Law. Commandment; (Mt. 22:37-40). By loving God and your neighbor you will please God. That is the road toward getting a prayer request answered from God. What does love do? Love forgives all offenses…and acts as if you were never mistreated. God is love; if we have God’s nature we’ll love, as He loves. Walking in love with forgiveness in our heart brings our answer from God. Then, we can have total victory in Jesus.
We are not to be conformed to the world, but to be transformed by renewing our mind with God’s Word. When we walk in God’s Word, we take on the mind of Christ, and please the Father. John 15:7 is a powerful statement. It says, “If ye abide in me and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will and it shall be done unto you.” Abiding in God means to abide in His Word, as then He heals you, and fills you with His blessing.
So check your love tank. Is it a quart low? If so, get in God’s Word and fill your love tank, so that you will keep God’s blessings — flowing down from heaven — upon you.
So eat of God’s Word daily and build up your strength. Your spirit is what you feed it just as the body is what you feed it. Your spirit contains what you meditate and digest. Obeying Joshua 1:8 and meditating the Word makes you strong and successful in areas of your life that need strengthening.
I have given you the Word but now you must meditate, eat and digest it so that the Word can produce a harvest of fruit for you. We only bear fruit by walking a love walk. So walk by love so your faith can produce fruit. Faith works by love: (Gal. 5:6-b).
Preaching proclaims the truth and teaching explains the same. No one is blessed by ignorance. To find your answers you must know God’s Word on the subject at issue. God’s Word has all answers for all of your problems. Whether its heartaches, sickness, or poverty, the Word shines light into all the dark corners of life. Ps 112:4 reminds us that, “Unto the righteous there arises light in the darkness.”
There is nothing impossible with God, nor is there anything incurable with Him! If you will obey His Words and follow His instructions you can win your faith battle. Amen!
