Medical Science Says What You Say Is Important
Contributed by Lavon Barve of Cup of Life Ministries
My favorite testimonial about speaking what you want is about a time a minister was talking to a neurosurgeon. He said the neurosurgeon stated that medical science had just discovered that when a person speaks, their central nervous system does everything it can to comply with what was said. The minister said he already knew that, and the doctor asked how is that possible? The minister said that Dr. Luke stated that fact 2000 years ago; it shows us that in the Bible.
Christians who believe in the word of God about “saying what you want to receive,” have come up against a lot of resistance, even from fellow Christians, that it sounds just too good to be true. That is why we need to take God's word and believe it; this is where we don't go by how we feel or what we see but by the Bible, the inspired word of God. Proverbs 18:21 says, “death and life are in the power of the tongue...” Speaking what you want your body to do is not some way-out kind of teaching. The Bible says say what you want, medical sciences says when you speak positive or negative about your body, your central nervous system moves to comply.
For Christians, believing in God's blessings is the key to receiving, speak life. Now I'm not saying we are to ignore pain or sickness. Doctors and medicines are here to fight disease and sickness, but speak life, that way if you have to go to the doctor, your body is geared for healing; also, doctors don't want a patient that has given up and thinking the very worst. As Christians speak life, let the word of God work in your physical body and sometimes a vitamin or herbal additive may be what you need in your diet in this day of advanced technology in fast food growing. God did not give us His word, the Bible, to pick and choose, we are to believe all his Word.
Speaking to the mountain in your life doesn't come naturally. Everything in your physical senses finds it hard to believe. Mark 11:23 “..., whoever says to this mountain, be removed and cast into the sea, and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things which he says will be done, he will have whatsoever he says.” Jesus said here “does not doubt in his heart,“ your heart, your spirit. Get this truth into your spirit and allow God's word to work in your life. Tell your body to line up with the word of God, where there is life. Medical science discovered years ago that about 70% of all sickness comes from what people say or do. That kind of goes along with Proverbs 6:2, “you are snared by the words of your mouth.”
Get it into your spirit and study the Word in this area, then you will know the truth of speaking to your body what you want, not what you see or feel. Christians sometimes have been taught against the very blessings that God gave us. Look at Proverbs 16:24, “pleasant words are like honeycomb sweetness to the soul and health to the bones.” Wise words bring health. When the word of God speaks about the tongue, it not only means how we speak around others but also how we speak that affects our own physical body.
The Bible says death and life are in the power of the tongue and those who love it will eat its fruit. Allow the fruit of your tongue to work positive in your physical body.
God's word is medicine to the body Proverbs 4:20-22 says “my son give attention to my word” “...for they are life to those who find them and health to all their flesh.” Health is also translated “medicine” here and as we know medicine is not taken one time, you continue to take it as needed. That is what you do with God's Word; you stay in it, allowing it to work in your life. Keep speaking life, not sickness or defeat. God wants you healthy, do not look on how you feel or, even just as bad, dwelling on what you think is wrong, speak life.
A well-known doctor studying in this area called the tongue the royal road to the brain. There is medical proof that negative beliefs harm your health and as children of God, we have further blessings from God's word, and it ensures us of this truth.
