“Keep them in the midst of thine heart.” Keep the
Word of God alive in your heart. Keep the Word
working in your heart. Just as you feed your physical
man, you must feed your spiritual man. Your spirit
man cannot live and stay strong on the Word you
received last year. Don’t try to rely on what you
remember from the Word.
Keep God’s words in the midst of your heart by doing
the things we have already discussed: attending to
the Word, inclining your ear to the Word, not letting
the Word depart from your eyes and keeping the
Word in your heart. Keep your spirit strong with the
Word of God. Continually feed yourself with it in
order to keep the Word producing the force of faith.
For They Are Life Unto Those That Find
Them and Health to All Their Flesh
“For they are life unto those that find them, and
health to all their flesh.” God’s words are spirit and
they are life (John 6:63). They are made life and
health to those who find them. The Word of God is
medicine. If you will put it in your heart in abundance,
it will be as hard for you to get sick as it was at
one time for you to get healed. (The key to this
statement is in the word abundance!)
God’s prescription for life and health works constantly,
whether you are sick or well. The Word is continually
being made life and health to your body. Satan cannot
make you sick when you stay strong in the Word and
keep your spirit full of God’s Word. By keeping the Word
in the midst of your heart, the healing power of God
will continually work in your body. It is continually being
made health to your flesh.
When the doctor prescribes medication, he tells you
to take the medicine so many times a day and you
will recover. If the doctor says swallow one teaspoon
of this every day and you decide to rub it on your
chest, all of his knowledge and experience is of no
value. If you expect to be well, you follow his
instructions, don’t you? Well, this is God’s prescription.
His Word is His medicine. If you will do what He says
as diligently as you would obey a doctor, you will get
results. Diligence in the Word of God is a key.
When your doctor says you need surgery, you don’t
say, “Well, Doc, I don’t have time to have an operation.”
No, you make time, even if you lose your job. Be that
courageous, diligent and determined about the Word
of God. Make time to attend to God’s Word. It will bring
far better results!
