He sent His word and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions. Oh, that men would give thanks to the Lord for His goodness, and for His wonderful works to the children of men!
—Psalm 107:20-21, NKJV
God sent His Word to heal us and deliver us from destruction and death. The Word is not just the Bible. It is Jesus Himself—God in the flesh.
“And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth” (John 1:14, NKJV).
God sent Himself—full of grace and truth—to heal us. The Word is Jesus, our Healer. The Word heals and delivers because the Word is Jesus Himself. When you take the Word into your heart, you take in grace and truth.
“So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth;
It shall not return to Me void,
But it shall accomplish what I please,
And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it” (Isaiah 55:11, NKJV).
Those who receive God’s Word in their heart shall receive the promises God has spoken.
Have you received God’s Word in your heart? Are you standing on the Word—on Jesus—believing that He healed and delivered you from destruction and death when He gave His life’s blood for you? As you stand facing symptoms and illness and challenges in your life, give praise to Jesus for healing and delivering you.
“In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you,” (1 Thessalonians 5:18, NKJV). Give praise to God in all things. A heart of praise opens you to receive from God. When you praise God in all things, you always find something to be thankful for! A negative attitude filled with negative expectations can thwart God’s power in your life!
You receive from God by faith in the finished work of Jesus—not by anything you do. It is the grace of Jesus that justifies you to God—not your works. Only those who are resolved and determined to receive God’s promises will receive them (Matthew 11:12).

Lord Jesus, I praise you! You sent your Word and healed me and delivered me from destruction! I praise you no matter what my symptoms or my circumstances or my struggles! You say I am healed. You say I am delivered. You say I am whole! Your finished work on the cross is truth. You speak life and peace into my soul and body and circumstances. I am in awe of how much you love me. I stand upon your truth in this place where I am. I draw upon your living water—I draw upon you, Jesus. I draw truth from your Word which lives in my heart. I believe your promises for me. I receive your truth and take it as my own. Your Word is mine. You are who is alive in me—not any lie that tries to comes against your truth in me. The life I live in this flesh I live by the faith you have given me. I walk by faith and not by sight. I do not relent. I do not give one inch to the deceiver. Your truth is my truth.
