Goss-pills
Week 19 in a multi-part series
Over the years that I have been serving Jesus, whenever sickness and disease would come upon my body, usually because I ignorantly allowed it, I have one primary line of offense.
Since faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God, (Romans 10: 17) I like to speak [pray] out loud several times a day what I call the Goss-pills.
When spoken in faith, my body cannot help but respond to the Word of God and satan cannot stand against it. These are just a few of the promises from God’s Word that builds my faith and drives out sickness and disease.
Ephesians 6:17, calls the spoken Word of God the “sword of the Spirit”, this is the only offensive weapon provided in God’s armor.
I interject my own words to make the promises personal.
Psalms 103:2, 3
Bless the Lord, O my soul, And forget not all His benefits: Who forgives all your (my) iniquities, Who heals all your (my) diseases, Who redeems your (my) life from destruction.
Psalms 107:19, 20
Then they (I) cried out to the Lord in their (my) trouble, And He saved them (me) out of their (my) distresses. He sent His word and healed them (me), And delivered them (me) from their destructions.
Isaiah 53:4, 5
Surely He has borne our (my) grief’s (sicknesses, weaknesses, and distresses) and carried our (my) sorrows and pains [of punishment], yet we considered Him stricken smitten, and afflicted by God. But He was wounded for our (my) transgressions, He was bruised for our (my) guilt and iniquities; the chastisement [needful to obtain] peace and well-being for us (me) was upon Him, and with the stripes [that wounded] Him we are (I am) healed and made whole.
Isaiah 58:8
Then your (my) light will break out like the dawn, And your (my) recovery will speedily spring forth; And your (my) righteousness will go before you (me); The glory of the Lord will be your (my) rear guard.
Malachi 4:2
But for you who fear My name, the sun (Son) of righteousness will rise with healing in its (His) wings; and you (I) will go forth and skip about like calves from the stall.
Matthew 8:17
And thus He fulfilled what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah, He Himself took [in order to carry away] our (my) weaknesses and infirmities and bore away our (my) diseases.
I Peter 2:24
He personally bore our (my) sins in His [own] body on the tree as on an altar and offered Himself on it], that we might die (cease to exist) to sin and live to righteousness. By His wounds you (I) have been healed.
Acts 10:38
How God anointed and consecrated Jesus of Nazareth with the [Holy] Spirit and with strength and ability and power; how He went about doing good and, in particular, curing all who were harassed and oppressed by [the power of] the devil, for God was with Him. (Just as He is with me).
James 5:15
This prayer made in faith will heal the sick; the Lord will restore them (me) to health, and the sins they (I) have committed will be forgiven.
