School of Healing: Paying Attention

On Sunday 30th March, River of Life International Fellowship held it's second School of Healing at 6pm in the evening. The word that was shared was Proverb 4: 22-24, that word made famous by Derek Prince in his old radio recordings of God's Medicine bottle.
The emphasis on the word was the directive: Pay Attention!
Pay Attention to God's Word. Stop what you're doing, focus on and give your full and respectful attention to the word.

We spent a while considering the directive, 'Pay Attention!'. We considered whether in our daily lives, we paid particular attention to the word. Do we set time aside for the word'? Do we find a quiet place, diminish distractions , turn off the TV and the music and focus intently for the treasure of the word of God?

It is only if we hold the word in this kind of esteem that we are likely to incline our ear to hear it. In other words by inclining our ear, we submit our mind to the hearing of the word. Are we inclined to accept the word of God as the revealed will and intent of God? The Apostle Paul said, "Let God be true and every man a liar." Only then are we in position to hear within our hearts and to keep the word in our hearts by meditating on it!

In the book of Joshua, the prescription for finding the word is meditating on it day and night. How close are we to finding those choice, powerful and useful words of God? When this first part is done succesfully, only then can we FIND the word in that necessary and useful way where it becomes LIFE within, energizing, invigorating, revitalizing, activating, and pulsing.

And then there is of course that great statement we have been staring at for so long, wondering how the word becomes..."Health to All thy flesh".... from head to toe and every internal organ as well as skin bones and connective tissue. The Word we are told has this power to deliver health, once it is found in such a way that it activates faith. Faith, that substance of hope and the evidence of the unseen.

In our first School of Healing, we learned that when we believe, we speak. As it is written, I believe therefore I speak. We also learned that God calls the things that are not as though they were. We learned that once faith is formed, it declares!

So for this second class, we applied ourselves to finding faith, by finding the word, in our approach to the word and our respect of the word. We learned that the word was powerful on its own to create life and health. Adding last month's lesson to this month's, we declared a number of healing scriptures for our lives in faith.

The word tells of many streams of healing. We know that declaring the word of healing in faith is one powerful stream. This stream is dependent on the word and our own faith to access what Christ purchased on the cross. Therefore Pay Attention to His words and build yourself up on your most holy faith!
