| | WORDS OF LIFE
In Proverbs 4:20-22 we have the most comprehensive instructions as to how to receive healing: "Attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh.” Notice here that the Words of God are life only to those that “find” them. If you want to receive life and healing from God, take time to find the words of Scripture that promise these results.
When God’s Word becomes health to all your flesh, your cancer will be gone, your tumor will be gone, and your goiter will be gone. We have seen the Word, when received and acted on, produce these results thousands of times. This is the divine method of receiving the blessings that God has provided for us.
God says that when we do as we are told in the Scriptures, His Words are made “health to all our flesh.” It matters not what particular kind of unhealthy flesh—whether cancer, goiter, tumor—God says, “health to all their flesh.” Whose flesh? Those who “find” and “attend” to the Words of God on the subject. This is exactly the same way that the Word of God becomes health to the soul.
In this comprehensive passage, God tells us exactly how to “attend” to His Words. He says, “Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart.” Instead of having your eyes on your symptoms and being occupied with them, let God’s Words not “depart from thine eyes.” Look at them continually and, like Abraham, wax strong in faith by looking at the promises of God and at nothing else. As the only way a seed can do its work is by being kept in the ground, so the only way that God’s “imperishable seed” can “effectually work in us” is by it being kept “in the midst of our hearts.” This does not mean occasionally, but continuously.
When we attend to God’s Words by not letting them depart from before our eyes and by keeping them in the midst of our hearts, the seed is in “good ground.” This is the kind of ground in which Jesus says, “It bringeth forth fruit.” When the farmer gets his seed into the ground, he does not dig it up every day to see how it is doing, but says, “I am glad that is settled.” He believes the seed has begun its work. Why not have this same faith in the “imperishable seed”—Christ’s Words, which He says are “spirit and life.”
Paul tells us that it is the Word, which “effectually worketh” in them that believe. When we receive and obey the Word of God, we can say with Paul, “The power of God worketh in me mightily.” Thus the Word of God becomes the power of God. It is “spirit and life.” If a field in which the seed has been sown could talk to us, it would say, “The seed worketh in me mightily.” ~ F.F. Bosworth

Good, good, word! Rich, Rich word! LOVE it! 
) , I also use to pray over those whisky bottles, that God would kill all the desire in my husband to drink that poison, that the very smell of it would make him sick. 
Oh well, maybe another day. You have a profile pic of two people who I assume are you and your hubby. You looked very familiar. Yesterday in wal-mart I discovered why. There is one of the staff there who bears at least some resemblance to the photo! Took me back a bit. ryp Finding means seeking. I like the verse "you will seek me and find me when you search for me with all your heart."
