If you have not developed your faith in the Word to the level where you can receive your healing through the Word, then use medical science’s healing, but don’t allow sickness and disease to lord it over you.
Do What You Have To
Use whatever means you must to get rid of it, but don’t let it dominate you. If you have to take pills to get your healing, then every time you have to take one, say, “I take this pill in the name of Jesus.” You will find the Name of Jesus will make your pills work twice as good.
Don’t let Satan condemn you over taking medicine. God wants you well.
If your faith is not developed to that point, for Gods’ sake, don’t suffer 39 years and say I trusted the Lord. No – if you suffered 39 years you missed it somewhere. That is not God’s will for you.
Get some medical help, get back on your feet, then get in the WORD of God and find out where you missed it. Learn to control circumstances, instead of allowing them to control you.
A few years ago a man said to me, “I wouldn’t ask you to pray for me; I am taking medicine.”
You can see how Satan has conned many good Christians into believing that if they are taking medicine they wouldn’t dare use prayer too. He realizes he can’t keep you from using both so he set out to convince you that prayer and medicine are opposed to each other.
The truth is both prayer and medicine are fighting the same evil (sickness and disease).
Of course God’s best is for you to develop your faith to the point that you receive healing through prayer and the Word of God. But not every person’s faith is developed to that level. That is one of the reasons God gave men medical knowledge. He wants people well even though they don’t know how to operate in the Word.
God Wants You Well
Say this right now, “GOD WANTS ME WELL” (3 John 2). Say it again, loud: “GOD WANTS ME WELL.”
Confess God’s Word to your body daily. Yes – talk to it. Sometimes your body wants to be sick. Don’t let it. Jesus said you can have what you say, so take time to fill your heart (spirit) with God’s Word.

Charles Capps is a retired farmer, land developer, and Bible teacher who has traveled extensively throughout the United States and several foreign countries sharing the truths of God's Word. He has taught Bible seminars for over 35 years, emphasizing the authority of the believer, faith and the power of words.
Charles and Peggy both have their roots in the rich farmland of Lonoke County, Arkansas. Having been raised by parents who were farmers, Charles began farming cotton, soybeans, and rice immediately after graduating from high school and marrying in 1951.
Peggy, being 3 1/2 months older than Charles had to sign as the adult on his behalf when he wanted to begin flying lessons at the age of 17. They joined an organization known as the Flying Farmers and gained experience going to "fly-ins" and national meetings across the United States. Neither knew that this skill of flying would be such an asset later when Charles began teaching personal evangelism in the 1960's. He spoke on the subject of soulwinning in churches not only in the US, but flew his twin engine Piper Comanche to the Bahamas to teach students of Youth With a Mission how to share Christ with others.
After reading a book by Kenneth E. Hagin entitled, "Authority of the Believer", Charles and Peggy's life took on a new dimension of travel and ministry as Charles became known for his teaching gift and insight on the subjects of faith and confession. Invitations to minister to the Full Gospel Businessmen's Fellowship International (FGBMFI) began to pour in, eventually leading to the publication of his teachings in book form. "The Tongue a Creative Force" and "God's Creative Power(r) Will Work for You" became bestsellers after Buddy Harrison, Kenneth Hagin's son in law, launched his publishing company with these two classics. These two books have sold millions (the God's Creative Power(r) series has sold over 5 million copies) and are still much in demand today.
We celebrated Charles' promotion to heaven at 5:15 pm Sunday, February 23, 2014. He informed the family and close friends on Friday that he would be going home to heaven in 3 days. After having some final words with family and friends on Saturday, he went to bed, went to sleep and never awoke. (He kept saying, "I want to go in my sleep.") His wife and daughters had the privilege of being with him as he finally got that glorified body he always talked about. Charles Capps was a man of integrity, a man of his word and he got what he said. He called those things that be not as though they were.
Charles Capps broadcast called, "Concepts of Faith", continues a daily national radio broadcast and a weekly television broadcast aired over several networks, satellite, and the internet. Click on the Radio or TV link to find the broadcast in your area.
Peggy continues to reside in Arkansas. Both Charles' and Peggy's daughters, Annette and Beverly are involved in the ministry.
