The Life-Giving Medicinal Properties of God’s Word

Is Your Heart Healthy Today?

PRAYER: Holy Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, please melt and grant this heart You gave to be truly a heart of flesh, full of Your love. Remove the stony places that came by way of my sin. In the name of Jesus Father, please do this work in me as only You can do!

“DESIRE the sincere (pure) milk of the word.” 1 Peter 2:2

“Desire” is a choice. Appetites are chosen.

The next time your heart fails you – with fear, hurt, loss, loneliness, or a wound – apply the medicine of the LORD.  It’s only the well-fed heart and soul that are healthy.

“And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live (have spiritual life) by bread alone, but by every word of God.” Luke 4:4

“All scripture is given by inspiration of God” and “every word of God” has significance (2 Timothy 3:16; Luke 4:4; Proverbs 30:5). They are God-breathed and have His divine life in them.

“It is the spirit that quickeneth (makes alive; gives life); the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.” John 6:63

In the above words of Jesus Christ, the English word “spirit” was translated from the Greek word pneuma which means a current of air, that is, breath or blast, or a breeze. Do you desire His breath of life to blow into, through, and upon your life?

God’s words have inherent life and healing properties. The words of the divine are “spirit and they are life” says the LORD Jesus (John 6:63). Yet, just how are those words of life applied to our lives? How is it that this breath, blast, and current of life can blow into us?

“Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.” Matthew 5:6

Just who did Jesus tell us that God will bless and fill? – “they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness.”

Remember the last time you were super thirsty and grabbed a cold bottle of water? Think about the invigorating stimulation that occurred as that cold, clean, refreshing water flowed into your mouth, down your throat, and into your stomach. Whew! Doesn’t that make you thirsty for some cool and refreshing water right now? Makes me want to grab some water right now!

Now, how about when your heart is thirsty, hungry, aching, lonely, confused, unfulfilled, or feeling very empty? What’s the solution? Do we need to just remain in that dismal state? Or, is there something we can do?

What do you do when you begin getting a sore throat and cold? Do you just sit there and let that sickness overtake your body or do you get up and get that vitamin C flowing into your system with capsules and orange juice?

When you were thirsty for water after exercising or on a hot day, what did you do? Do you do something to quench that thirst? Did you reach for that cold water?

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

As your heart goes, so goes your life – “out of it are the issues of life.” The above passage of Holy Scripture promises us that “with all diligence,” if we will “attend” to the words of the LORD, the life of Christ will fill our souls, minds, and hearts and keep us guarded from infections.

Let’s break it down a bit together:

  • “attend to my words”
  • “incline thine ear unto my sayings (my words)”
  • “Let them not depart form thine eyes”
  • “keep them in the midst of thine heart”
  • “Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.”

Results/Benefits of Getting God’s Words in our Hearts

“For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh”

If we will attend to His words which means to give them due attention, including our hearts toward His sayings, letting them not depart from our eyes, and keeping them in the midst of our hearts, they will bring Christ’s spiritual life and health to our whole being – spirit, soul, and body.

Joy is the result of ingesting the words of the LORD.

“Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O LORD God of hosts.” Jeremiah 15:16

Are you feeling lonely today? Do you feel empty and without purpose? Are you hurting inside for any reason? Every disciple in every century has suffered these things. In fact, Jeremiah suffered great persecution as will be the case for all true disciples of Jesus in our day. Yet, when Jeremiah suffered at the hands of God’s enemies who afflicted him, he chose to find God’s words, and to “eat them.” Jeremiah simply applied the medicine provided. The blessed and healing precepts of our LORD then became to him “the joy and rejoicing” of his heart!

“O LORD, thou knowest: remember me, and visit me, and revenge me of my persecutors; take me not away in thy longsuffering: know that for thy sake I have suffered rebuke. 16 Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O LORD God of hosts.” Jeremiah 15:15-16

Your Heart is Wicked and in Utter, Perpetual Need of God’s Grace

Here’s what we need to know about ourselves…. “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?” (Jeremiah 17:9) Did you just learn something about yourself? YES. And never forget it.

“He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool:” Proverbs 28:26

Don’t Just Sit there, Get the Word in Your Heart!

The LORD’s words have never been more available than they are today. Don’t settle for a cheap substitute – get a King James Bible. Refuse to mope, pine away as if you have no medicine to apply, and just sulk. No, instead, apply the LORD’s solution, His medicine. Memorize Jeremiah 15:16. Get into God’s Word and God’s Word will get into you and bring His life into your existence and bless you untold!  If we don’t daily and often ingest His words, we have no one to blame but ourselves for not ingesting them – devouring them – and receiving of their inherent and divine medicinal properties. When we do, healing, joy, rejoicing, restoration, and wholeness will result.

Not just peace but “Great peace” is promised to all who love God’s Word and those who love Him and His words will devour them.

“Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them.” Psalms 119:165

Do you love the Word of God?

The spiritual health and protection of Christ’s true church is dependent upon their becoming and keeping grounded in His Word.

Message Stated:

“The Word of God is not about doctrine or theology, it is all about Jesus Christ and His Love, Grace, Mercy and Forgiveness. The Scriptures teach and guide us to a relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ through the understanding given to us by the Holy Spirit….May the love of Christ be upon you all, Praise God for all glory is given to our Father in Heaven.”

Reply:

Those things ARE doctrine brother. “Doctrine” appears 51 times in God’s Word. Yet, you left out the divine attributes revealed in His Word, His holiness and His command for us to be holy, the life and mission of Christ, repentance, sin, the soon coming of Jesus, the daily cross He commanded us to take up, etc.  You only mentioned “Love, Grace, Mercy and Forgiveness.” While those things are part of God’s Word, they paint an imbalanced picture of God’s nature and will if the other things He stated are left out. Now, do we begin to see why the Bible and studying the full-counsel of God’s Word is so important – so we are not misled by half truths and people who leave out so many truths from the whole message of God’s Word? Memorize 2 Timothy 3:16 in KJV and notice the very first stated reason God gave us His Word – “doctrine.”  Sound doctrine is not legalism – it’s essential for the growth and protection of God’s people (Acts 20:20-32).

America

America is Under Divine Judgment [podcast]


Chasing the American dream all the way to hell? Are you bowing before your Maker who came and died to save you from sin and this world? Or, are you bowing before “old glory”, “the red, white, and blue”?

“Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:” Revelation 3:17

Every person reading these very words is making his eternal bed in Heaven or in hell.

“Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision.” Joel 3:14

“Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?” Romans 6:16

Those bowed truly before Christ and no idol, are about His “business” which is the Great Commission He gave us! Oh, and He holds you fully accountable to obey, to do it. Read the very end of Matthew and Mark.

If you are not deliberately, integrally involved in the Great Commission mandate Jesus gave His people, you are out of the will of God.

AMERICA’S ENEMY INVASION

In the Bible, we read of how God allowed foreign empires like the Assyrians and Babylonians to invade, conquer, and exile Israel and Judah as a form of divine discipline and covenant judgment for their persistent idolatry, social injustice, and refusal to repent.

One source notes:

“The Theological Framework of Judgment

    • The Covenant: God made a conditional agreement (covenant) with ancient Israel. Obedience brought protection and blessing; disobedience brought explicit warnings of national defeat and dispersion (e.g., Deuteronomy 28).
    • Using Foreign Nations: Prophets like Isaiah and Habakkuk explain that God sovereignly used ruthless empires (calling Assyria the “rod of my anger”) as instruments of correction against His own unfaithful people.
    • The Limits of Judgment: While God used these empires to punish Israel, the Bible notes He also held those invading nations accountable for their own extreme cruelty, arrogance, and subsequent destruction (e.g., Isaiah 10, Jeremiah 50–51).”

THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENS TO ANY NATION THAT FORSAKES GOD. – “The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.” (Psalms 9:17) America is under divine judgment. See Jeremiah 18.

“The LORD is known by the judgment which he executeth: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah. 17  The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.” Psalms 9:16-17

“At what instant” (marked space in time)

It seems God has His timing in judging nations and history records…..

It is more than obvious that America is not repenting. If that’s the case, what future does America have?

Jeremiah 18:7-10

At what instant (marked place in time) I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up, and to pull down, and to destroy it;

8 If that nation, against whom I have pronounced, turn from their evil, I will repent of the evil that I thought to do unto them.

9 And at what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant it;

10 If it do evil in my sight, that it obey not my voice, then I will repent of the good, wherewith I said I would benefit them.”

How does He judge?

Does He not lift His hand of protection and allow invaders? Read Jeremiah 5-7. This morning as I begin again reading these 3 chapters, what’s happening in America seems to fit for sure. And no president can save America from the LORD judgment. The only hope would be the true repentance of the people.

THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENS TO ANY NATION THAT FORSAKES GOD. – “The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.” (Psalms 9:17) America is under divine judgment. See Jeremiah 18.

What Bible verse or passage comes to your mind when you think of being possessed by an eternal perspective? How about this one?

“For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.

17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;

18 While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.” 2 Corinthians 4:16-18

PRAYER: My Father in Heaven, in the name of Jesus, please imbue this Your vessel with the eternal perspective Your Word communicates. Bless me to be a consummate soul winning, with my hands gripping the plow of Your Great Commission command. In the name of Jesus. Amen.

“Why would we put our hope in a country that belongs to our arch enemy? (2 Cor 4:4). As scripture clearly tells us this earth will vanish like smoke (Is 51:6). We are looking for a new heaven and new earth! Rev 21. Where God will dwell among us! We will be His people and drink from the fountain of life forever and ever! That is my hope! Not this wicked fallen world!” Karen Cochran

“And this Gospel of the Kingdom shall be Preached in all the World” [podcast]


“All these are the beginning of sorrows.

9  Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake.

10  And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.

11  And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.

12  And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.

13  But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

14  And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.” Matthew 24:8-14

The true remnant of Christ are known in that they are enduring to the end in the midst of iniquity, abounding and preaching the Gospel of Jesus the King to the world.

“And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.”  Mark 16:15

PRAYER: Father in Heaven, I come to You in the name of Jesus Christ, admitting I have been living for my own evil glory. I am a sinner. I’ve committed the sin of idolatry, having myself first instead of You. I admit here and now before You that I have been committing the damning sin of spiritual adultery. I have claimed to know You and yet refused to uncompromisingly adhere to Your Word. Here and now, right now if never before, I repent and ask You to forgive my sins and to wash me afresh from my sins in the precious blood of Jesus Christ my LORD. Into Your hands I commend, I submit my spirit, my life, right this moment and ask You dear LORD to fill me with Your Holy Ghost and use me to preach Your glorious message of repentance to those around me so that they can receive the forgiveness of all their sins and walk in the times of refreshing from Your holy presence dear LORD. I love You Jesus. I am all Yours and I know You are all mine. In Jesus’ Name amen.

Apostasy

Jesus Promised Judas an Eternal Throne in Heaven but He Chose to go to Hell #shorts [video]

​ Judas died and went to eternal hell, irrevocably as every lost soul shall experience (Acts 1:25). Judas is the “son of perdition” and “perdition” means damnation (John 17:12).

Here’s all the ministry’s shorts (60 secs) videos. Feel free to share:

See all shorts videos here on ministry youtube channel.

Judas was even sent out with the other apostles to heal the sick, raise the dead, and preach Christ’s Gospel (Matthew 10:1-8). He was real, then backslid and is in hell (Acts 1:16-25).

The Truth about Judas

“And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones (not 11), judging the twelve tribes of Israel.” (Matthew 19:28)

Judas wasn’t kept and Jesus specifically and irrefutably promised him an eternal throne in Heaven – Matthew 19:28. “TWELVE” not eleven~!

At the time of this divinely-given promise, it is more than abundantly clear that Judas was eternally secure, otherwise Christ would have never given this promise to the “twelve” which includes Judas Iscariot (Matthew 19:28). It is only after this that Judas allowed iniquity in his heart and by his own deliberate will fell by his own iniquity (Acts 1:25; Heb. 3:12-15).

“Saying, I (Judas) have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent blood. And they said, What is that to us? see thou to that.” Matthew 27:4

“Eternal security”? Don’t kid yourself. Moral cowards who refuse to take person accountability for their every thought, motive, and deed love this lie. Satan’s first lie – which led to the fall of mankind (Gen 2:17; 3:4).

“For if AFTER they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are AGAIN entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning. 21 For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, AFTER they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them.” 2 Peter 2:20-21
