"The Tongue of the Wise is Health"
Proverbs 12:15
By Don Gossett
FIRST: Jesus promised, "And he shall have whatsoever he saith "Mark 11:23. My tongue determines whether I shall have health or sickness, whichever I practice saying.
SECOND: How does my tongue minister health benefits to me? I discipline my tongue to say what God says about my healing and health problems. "He sent His Word and healed them" Psalm 107:20. His Word is my healing portion.
THIRD: My tongue administers health to me when I use it to say, "By His stripes I am healed" 1st Peter 2:24. My tongue is the instrument of health when I affirm, "Jesus Himself took my infirmities and bare my sicknesses" Matthew 8:17.
FOURTH: "Pleasant words are as a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and health to the bones" Proverbs 16:24. Pleasant words - that is, words pleasing to God minister health to me. What are pleasant words? Words spoken in harmony with God's wonderful Word.
FIFTH: "Death and life are in the power of the tongue" Proverbs 18:21. My tongue has the power to produce death. How? By speaking words about sickness and disease rather than the healing scriptures. "Thou art snared by the words of thy mouth; thou art taken captive by the words of your mouth" Proverbs 6:2. If I talk about illness and infirmities, rather than the healing Word, my "lips are the snare of my soul" Proverbs 18:7.
SIXTH: "A wholesome tongue is a tree of life" Proverbs 15:4. I know that one day "the tree of life shall be for … the healing of the nations" Revelation 22:2. From this moment on, my tongue is a health-producer for I affirm, "The Lord healeth me of all my diseases" Psalm 103:3.
SEVENTH: "The tongue of the wise uses knowledge aright" Proverbs 15:2. I have full knowledge of the healing scriptures. My tongue shall affirm them. I say, "I am recovering" Mark 16:18.
EIGHTH: Jesus Christ is my wisdom and makes me a wise person (1st Corinthians 1:30). My tongue ministers health to me. By speaking God's healing Words, "They are health to all my flesh" Proverbs 4:22.

I thank you, Jesus, by your stripes I am healed. I thank you, Lord, you took my infirmities and bore my diseases. I bless you, Lord, you heal all my diseases. I praise you, Lord, you sent your Word and healed me and that Word is health to all my flesh right now.
