He Sent His Word and Healed Them
This article "He Sent His Word and Healed Them" was taken from the Heart Magazine, August/September 1987. HE SENT HIS WORD AND HEALED THEM Dr. Victor Paul Wierwille HEART Magazine – August/September 1987, Volume 11, No. 3 – pages 3 and 7 It says in God’s Word that God sent His Word and healed people. For many years I didn’t understand what that meant: “God sent His Word and healed people.” Then, as I got deeper and deeper in the working of the Bible, I began to see that literally God’s Word is healing. When we put on His Word in our minds, when we absorb it, when we begin to live it, we receive the greatest healing I know. Yet, on a greater plane, what does it profit a person to be healthy a lifetime and still lose his soul in the end because he was not born again?

Therefore, the potential for wholeness physically and spiritually is available in Christ Jesus. Now the thing we as informed believers do – and I see this thing happening or beginning to happen in our community and our country – is to help the spiritual temperature of believing God’s Word rise. As we hold forth God’s Word and the believers receive that Word and put on t

correct protocol and all kinds of things that didn’t matter under the circumstances. Jesus was not stupid. He knew that they were watching him as to what he would do. But, you see, he did God’s will all the time. Had he not ministered to that man after he had revelation, Jesus Christ’s ministry would have failed and he could not have been your redeemer and mine. He was the perfect savior because he walked perfectly before God. So, do you know what Jesus did? “…He saith unto the man which had the withered hand, Sand forth.” First of all, it took tremendous courage on Jesus’ part to do it. Secondly, put yourself in the shoes of the impaired man. If those Pharisees and leaders are going to be unfair with Jesus, what do you think they’re going to do with this man? Look at the courage it took to stand forth, to stand up. Then Jesus looked around on the people, “And he saith unto them, Is it l
