FAITH CAPSULE: Do not delay by denying the entrance of the Word of God.
Matthew 8
The Word of God comes with direction to receive and believe for deliverance and preservation when faithfully engaged.
Word is enough to heal. Naaman, a commander of the army of the king of Syria, had leprosy challenges. However, when the Word of God sounded for him, he could not receive and believe as directed, to experience the termination of his leprosy.
Elisha told Naaman to go and wash in the Jordan seven times for the cleansing of his leprosy, but he refused and could not accept the direction for his healing instead, “Naaman became furious, and went away and said, “Indeed, I said to myself, ‘He will surely come out to me, and stand and call on the name of the LORD his God, and wave his hand over the place, and heal the leprosy.’” (2 Kings 5:11) Naaman struggled to receive, to believe as directed but later went back to get cleansed as directed.
Learn not to deny yourself from timely deliverance by not receiving to believe the Word of God.
Psalm 107:20 records the activity of the Word of God, “He sent His word and healed them and delivered them from their destructions.”
What is denying you or discouraging you not to receive and to believe the Word of God to address your challenge?
Keep in mind that the Word of God is the same and not changed from the beginning of time. John 1:1-3 records the description of the Word of God, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him, nothing was made that was made.”
The Word of God will terminate a challenge in the life of one that receives and believes in the Word of God. Jesus is the living Word of God that answers for the ones that will receive and believe in God.
It was the Word of God that healed the servant of a centurion.
When Jesus entered Capernaum, a centurion came to Him, pleading with Him for healing on behalf of his servant that was lying sick and paralyzed. Jesus responded with His plan to go to the house of the centurion.
The centurion answered Jesus, “Lord, I am not worthy that You should come under my roof. But only speak a word, and my servant will be healed.” (Matthew 8:8) Eventually, the centurion received and believed the Word of God for the healing of his servant.
The Word of God is to terminate a challenge for anyone that is definitely able to receive, to believe healing and deliverance.
Jesus saw the faith of the centurion with action without any doubt, and He reacted to the centurion in Matthew 8:13, “Then Jesus said to the centurion, “Go your way; and as you have believed, so let it be done for you.” And his servant was healed that same hour.”
Are you delaying your healing deliverance?
Do not delay by denying the entrance of the Word of God to work for you.
Prayer for today: Ask from God that you will know to receive and believe the Word of God.
