The Tongue of the Wise

by Mark Brazee | Uncategorized

“There is that speaketh like the piercings of a sword: but the tongue of the wise is health” (Prov. 12:18).

Our words have a lot to do with our own physical healing and health. We have the ability to talk ourselves into all kinds of problems or to speak words of faith, which cause miracles to manifest.

Many times people get sick or don’t receive their healing because they believe and speak according to the natural symptoms. These people may receive temporary relief when they’re prayed for. But if they don’t straighten out what their mouths are saying, they’ll eventually find themselves back in the same unhealthy conditions.

These very same people who have talked themselves into sickness and disease often say, “I don’t know why God put this on me. I don’t know why He allowed this to happen.”

But the Lord didn’t have anything to do with it. You see, faith is a law, and we operate it with our words, either to our benefit or to our destruction. Proverbs 12:18 says, “The tongue of the wise is health.” We could turn that around and say, “The tongue of the unwise is sickness!”

It’s your choice. You can operate the law of faith by hooking up your mouth and heart with your symptoms and what the devil tells you. Or you can operate the same law of faith by lining up your mouth with God’s Word and pointing it toward His blessings.

Faith in God works by believing and saying what God says. So speak His words of healing, and receive the healing God has reserved just for you!

Confession:
I speak words of health to my body because the tongue of the wise is health. Disease cannot attach itself to me, because Jesus took my sicknesses and pains; He bore them for me, so I don’t have to. I walk in excellent health.
