Plant the Word for Your Healing by Gloria Copeland
Posted by admin | Filed under Gloria Copeland, Kenneth Copeland, Kenneth Copeland Ministries
To live free from sickness, you must plant the Word of God concerning healing in your heart. The
Bible says that the Word is the incorruptible seed. You are “born again, not of corruptible seed, but of
incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever” (1 Peter 1:23). You are healed the
same way-by the incorruptible seed of the Word of God. Incorruptible means that “the seed cannot
be destroyed; it cannot be spoiled.” Disease cannot stop it. Men cannot spoil that incorruptible seed.
Satan cannot stop the power of the Word of God. I can prove that to you with salvation. Once you hear
the Word and decide to make Jesus Christ the Lord of your life, there is no power that can stop the new
birth from taking place in your spirit. No devil in hell can stop you from being born again. It is the
same way with healing. You receive everything from the Lord in the same way-by faith. Results come
when you hear the Word, receive it and act on it. You receive healing exactly the way you received the new birth, by hearing the Word and by believing that Word enough to act on it.
You have to put the supernatural seed of the Word of God in your heart. Plant it and it will grow and produce fruit. When you are dealing with God, His time is now. He doesn’t have to wait 60 days to get a crop. When you plant the Word in your heart, you get the harvest. Today is the day of salvation.
Faith should be as highly developed in the Church concerning healing as it is for the new birth of the
spirit. If the Church had been told what the Word says about healing, Christians would be as quick to
believe that they are healed as they are to believe that they are saved. However, other things have been
sown in our hearts. Seeds of doubt and unbelief have been sown by the traditions of men, by men who try
to teach the Word with head knowledge instead of by His Spirit.
God’s Word doesn’t make sense to the carnal mind. Men try to explain the Word through their own
natural thinking, but they never succeed. Men in pulpits across our nation have preached things that
simply are not true because they have no revelation knowledge of the Word. Traditions cost people the
healing power of God. Jesus said the traditions of men make the Word of no effect (Matthew 15:6).

God Wants You Healed by Gloria Copeland

And he came down with them, and stood in the plain, and the company of his disciples, and a great multitude of people out of all Judaea and Jerusalem, and from the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, which came to hear him, and to be healed of their diseases; and they that were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed. And the whole multitude sought to touch him: for there went virtue out of him, and healed them all (Luke 6:17-19).
It is God’s will for you to be healed, but your faith cannot operate beyond your knowledge of God’s Word. The Word says, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge…” (Hosea 4:6). In the physical realm this is literally true. The bodies of born-again believers are being destroyed because they do not have the knowledge of God’s Word that it is God’s will for them to be healed. Many die young even though it is not God’s will. God said, “I will take sickness away from the midst of thee…. The number of thy days I will fulfill” (Exodus 23:25-26). He says in Psalm 91:16, “With long life will I satisfy him, and show him my salvation.” It is not the will of God for you to die young. It is God’s will for you to live long on the earth without sickness in your midst and to live satisfied!
Healing is not just a New Testament blessing. God has always provided healing for the obedient. Psalm 103:2-3 says, “Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases.” Many have forgotten God’s benefit of healing for their bodies. If you had been taught that it is God’s will to heal you in the same way that you have been taught it is God’s will for you to be saved, you would have a different attitude toward sickness. Jesus bore your sicknesses and carried your diseases at the same time and in the same manner that He bore your sins. You are just as free from sickness and disease as you are from sin. You should be as quick to refuse sickness and disease in your body as you are to refuse sin.
