God's Word and the name of Jesus Christ

I want to share with you what I learned about healing, about God’s Word and the name of Jesus Christ.
Let’s get it straight from the beginning who we are (so that we may know that we have not earned it nor do we deserve it).

Isaiah 9:17
…for everyone is ungodly and wicked, every mouth speaks vileness.

James 3:5-6, 8-10
Likewise the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts.
Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark.
The tongue also is a fire,
a world of evil among the parts of the body.
It corrupts the whole person,
sets the whole course of his life on fire,
and is itself set on fire by Gehenna Fire.
…but no man can tame the tongue.
It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison
. With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father,
and with it we curse men, who have been made in God’s likeness.
Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing.
My brothers, this should not be.


I am counting on you having read the Bible and that you are a believer in God’s Word.
So as believers we have been taught that we should pray and ask God for his help, or for whatever we have a need for. So how are we to pray if “our tongues are a world of evil” as the above scriptures say? Well lets explore this for a minute.
If “everyone is ungodly and wicked,” and “every mouth speaks vileness” as it says in Isaiah 9:17 how can we trust in the prayers of our own words and feelings. We can’t!


Psalm 124:8
 Our help is in the name of the LORD,
the Maker of heaven and earth.

So what does it mean "Our help is in the name of the LORD"

Isaiah 55 10-11
As the rain and the snow come down from heaven,
and do not return to it without watering the earth
and making it bud and flourish,
so that it yields seed for the sower
and bread for the eater,
so is my word that goes out from my mouth:
It will not return to me empty,
but will accomplish what I desire and achieve
the purpose for which I sent it. 

God says the words that goes out from His mouth do not return to Him without first accomplishing what He desired and purposed.

Isaiah 59:21
“As for me, this is my covenant with them,” says the LORD.
 “My Spirit, who is on you, and my words that I have put in your mouth
will not depart from your mouth, or from the mouths of your children,
or from the mouths of their descendants form this time on and forever,” says the LORD.

God made a covenant to put his words in our mouth and this is an everlasting covenant.
And so what and where is this word that God puts in our mouth?

Romans 10:8-13
 But what does it say? The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart,”
that is, the word of faith we are proclaiming:
That if you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is lord” and
believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead
you will be saved (Sozo: to save, rescue, deliver: to heal).
For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified,
 and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved.
(eis: to toward, into, for Soteria: salvation, rescue, deliverance)
As the Scripture says, “Anyone who thrusts in him will never be put to shame.”
For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile-
the same Lord is Lord of all and richly blesses all who call on him,
 for, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.

The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart.
The word of faith = "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved."
So is this talking about "Salvation". No, I don't think so, please read "Salvation Is For All"
Not in the traditional sense but you will be saved in the day to day struggles we face everyday in our lives.
I say day to day, but I also include extraordinary circumstances.

 Psalm 103 20-21
Praise the LORD,
you his angels,
you mighty ones
who do his bidding,
who obey his word.
Praise the LORD,
all his heavenly host,
you his servants
who do his will.


 Psalms 107:19-20
Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble,
and he saved them from their distress.
He sent forth his word and healed them;
he rescued them from the grave.

 Proverbs 12: 14
From the fruit of his lips
a man is filled with good things as surely
as the work of his hands rewards him.

Proverbs 18:20-21
From the fruit of his mouth a man’s stomach is filled;
with the harvest from his lips he is satisfied.
The tongue has the power of life and death,
and those who love it will eat its fruit.

2 Corinthians 10:3
For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does.
The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world.
On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds.
We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.

Psalm 138: 2-3
 …for you have exalted above all things your name and your word
. When I called, you answered me; you made me bold and stouthearted.

Psalm 41:1-3
Blessed is he who has regard for the weak:
the Lord delivers him in times of trouble.
The Lord will protect him and preserve his life;
he will bless him in the land and
not surrender him to the desire of his foes.
The Lord will sustain him on his sick bed and
restore him from his bed of illness.

Acts 3:1-10
One day Peter and John were going up to the temple
at the time of prayer--at three in the afternoon.
Now a man crippled from birth was being carried
to the temple gate called Beautiful, where he was put every day
 to beg from those going into the temple courts.
When he saw Peter and John about to enter, he asked them for money.
Peter looked straight at him as did John. Then Peter said, “Look at us!”
So the man gave them his attention, expecting to get something from them.
Then Peter said, “Silver or gold I do not have, but what I have I give you.
In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk.
Taking him by the right hand, he helped him up, and
instantly the man’s feet and ankles became strong.
He jumped to his feet and began to walk.
Then he went with them into the temple courts,
walking and jumping, and praising God.
When all the people saw him walking and praising God,
they recognized him as the man who used to sit begging at the temple gate called Beautiful,
and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him.

Acts 3:16
By faith in the name of Jesus,
this man whom you see and know was made strong.
It is Jesus’ name and the faith that comes through him
that has given this complete healing to him as you can all see.

Acts 4: 9-10
….and are asked how he was healed, then know this,
you and all the people of Israel: It is by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth,
whom you crucified but whom God raised from the dead, that this man stands before you healed.

Acts 4: 29-30
“Now, Lord, consider their threats and
enable your servants to speak your word with great boldness.
Stretch out your hand to heal and perform miraculous signs and
wonders through the name of your holy servant Jesus.”

Isaiah 51: 16
I have put my words in your mouth
and covered you with the shadow of my hand….

Isaiah 53 4-6
Surely he took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows,
yet we considered him stricken by God, smitten by him, and afflicted.
But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed.
We all like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way;
and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all.
 　
Matthew 8: 16-17
When evening came, many who were demon-possessed were brought to him,
and he drove out the spirits with a word and healed all the sick.
This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah:
“He took up our infirmities and carried our diseases."

Matthew 9: 2-8
Some men brought to him a paralytic, lying on a mat.
When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic,
“Take heart, son; your sins are forgiven.”
At this, some of the teachers of the law said to themselves,
“This fellow is blaspheming!” Knowing their thoughts, Jesus said,
 “Why do you entertain evil thoughts in your hearts? Which is easier; to say,
‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say ‘Get up and walk’?
But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins….”
Then he said to the paralytic, “Get up, take your mat and go home.”
And the man got up and went home. When the crowd saw this, they were filled with awe;
and they praised God, who had given such authority to men.

Matthew 9: 20-22
Just then a woman who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years
came up behind him and touched the edge of his cloak.
She said to herself, “If I only touch his cloak, I will be healed.”
Jesus turned and saw her. “Take heart daughter,” he said,
“your faith has healed you.” And the woman was healed from that moment.

　
Matthew 9: 27
As Jesus went on from there, two blind men followed him,
calling out, “Have mercy on us, Son of David!”
When he had gone indoors, the blind men came to him, and
he asked them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?”
“Yes, Lord,” they replied.
Then he touched their eyes and said,
“According to your faith will it be done to you”
and their sight was restored.

Matthew 15: 22-28
A Canaanite woman from that vicinity came to him, crying out,
“Lord, Son of David, have mercy on me!
My daughter is suffering terribly from demon-possession.
Jesus did not answer a word. So his disciples came to him and urged him,
“Send her away, for she keeps crying out after us.”
He answered, “I was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel.”
The woman came and knelt before him. “Lord, help me!” she said.
He replied, “It is not right to take the children’s bread and toss it to their dogs.”
“Yes Lord,” she said, “but even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their masters’ table.”
Then Jesus answered, “Woman, you have great faith! Your request is granted.”
And her daughter was healed from that very hour.

Matthew 17: 14-21
When they came to the crowd, a man approached Jesus and knelt before him.
“Lord, have mercy on my son,” he said, “He has seizures and is suffering greatly.
He often falls into the fire or into the water. I brought him to your disciples,
but they could not heal him.”
O unbelieving and perverse generation,” Jesus replied,
“how long shall I stay with you? How long shall I put up with you?
Bring the boy here to me.” Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of the boy,
and he was healed from that moment.
Then the disciples came to Jesus in private and asked, “Why couldn’t we drive it out?”
He replied, “Because you have so little faith. I tell you the truth, if you have faith
as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there’
and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.”

Matthew 21: 14
The blind and the lame came to him at the temple, and he healed them.

Mark 1: 40-42
A man with leprosy came to him and begged him on his knees,
“If you are willing, you can make me clean.”
Filled with compassion, Jesus reached out his hand and touched the man.
“I am willing,” he said. “ Be clean!” Immediately the leprosy left him and he was cured.

Mark 5: 35-
While Jesus was still speaking, some men came from the house of Jairus, the synagogue ruler.
“Your daughter is dead,” they said, “Why bother the teacher any more?”
Ignoring what they said, Jesus told the synagogue ruler, “Don’t be afraid; just believe"

Mark 6: 54-
As soon as they got out of the boat, people recognized Jesus.
They ran throughout that whole region and carried the sick
on mats to wherever they heard he was. And wherever he went
--into villages, towns or country-side--they placed the sick in the marketplaces.
They begged him to let them touch even the edge of his cloak,
and all who touched him were healed.

John 4: 46
Once more he visited Cana in Galilee, where he had turned the water into wine.
And there was a certain royal official whose son lay sick at Capernaum.
When this man heard that Jesus had arrived in Galilee from Judea,
he went to him and begged him to come and heal his son, who was close to death.
“Unless you people see miraculous signs and wonders,” Jesus told him,
“You will never believe.” The royal official said, “Sir, come down before my child dies.”
Jesus replied, “You may go. Your son will live.” The man took Jesus at his word and departed
.While he was still on the way, his servants met him with the news that his boy was living.
When he inquired as to the time when his son got better, they said to him,
“the fever left him yesterday at the seventh hour.”
Then the father realized that this was the exact time at which Jesus had said to him,
 “Your son will live.” So he and all his household believed.
