MEMORISE: He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions. Psalm 107:20
READ: Psalms 107:17 -20
17 Fools because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities, are afflicted.
18 Their soul abhorreth all manner of meat; and they draw near unto the gates of death.
19 Then they cry unto the LORD in their trouble, and he saveth them out of their distresses.
20 He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.
MESSAGE
The word of God has tremendous power to heal sickness and diseases. When you need healing, study the word. Our memory verse today says that the the word of God can be sent to heal and deliver from destruction.
When you send something to someone, you do it through a medium. One medium of sending the word of God is the Bible. Thus, in your Bible, God has already sent you the word that you need to be healed of any sickness or disease. When you study the testimonies of other people’s hearings and the promises of God concerning your health in the Bible, the power of God can jump from the Scriptures to your body and heal you.
The second medium through which God sends His word to heal is a man or woman of God. In 2 Kings 2:19-22, the Bible says that the waters were healed according to the word of ELisha. In 2 Kings 5:10, the moment Elisha tolerance Naaman to go and wash in the Jordan, the power to heal leprosy went into the river.
For a long time,anytime we held The Holy Ghost Service in Nigeria, after preaching, l would lay hands on everybody for healing and all manner of miracles happened. One day, l stood laying hands on ten thousand people for over 5 hours. After that, l knees l couldn’t do it alone, so l called some Pastors together and gave each of them ties that l had worn at previous Holy Ghost Services. The anointing had rubbed off on the ties so when they wore them and joined me in laying hands, miracles happened. However, we grew so much that there was no way we could lay hands on everyone. The Lord said to me, “While you are preaching the word, the hearings can be taken place at the same time”. That is how God started telling me, right in the middle of the sermon, as He was healing people. As soon as the Lord started to speak during the sermon, l would announced it to the people saying, “God said ther is someone here, He has healed you of such and such”.
While the word is going on through the man or woman of God, healing can be taking place. Now, l speak the word do God to you be healed in Jesus’ name.
KEY POINT
When a man of God is preaching be sensitive to connect in the Spirit because the Lord could be sending a word to you during that sermon.

HYMN 16: O GOD OUR HELP IN AGES PAST
God, our help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come,
Our shelter from the stormy blast,
And our eternal home.
2 Under the shadow of Thy throne
Thy saints have dwelt secure;
Sufficient is Thine arm alone,
And our defence is sure.
3 Before the hills in order stood,
Or earth received her frame,
From everlasting Thou art God,
To endless years the same.
4 A thousand ages in Thy sight
Are like an evening gone;
Short as the watch that ends the night
Before the rising sun.
5 Time, like an ever-rolling stream,
Bears all its sons away;
They fly forgotten, as a dream
Dies at the opening day.
6 O God, our help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come,
Be Thou our guard while life shall last,
And our eternal home.
