Shalom,

Today's "Faith Food" and today's "Health Food" by Kenneth E. Hagin go together so well! Every born again believer should meditate on these!

Faith Food: The Word of Faith     
But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach" (Rom. 10:8). 

God's Word is called the word of faith. Faith is based on facts - the facts of God's Word. Unbelief is founded on theories. This is my definition of a theory: A theory is a supposition established upon ignorance of the subject under discussion. The reason why many churches are full of unbelief is because they've heard too much theory. 

The ministry has thrived on a psychology of unbelief, and the poor, dear church members are simply a product of what they have heard their ministers preach. The best way to really help people is to tell them what the Bible says, to give them what God's Word says, not what some man says. Man can be wrong, but God can never be wrong. No matter what the circumstances, no matter what has happened in your life, God's Word has something to say on the subject. Find out what God's Word says. Faith will come, and it will change things for you. 

Confession: The Word...God's Word...the word of faith...is near me. I hide it in my heart. I speak it with my mouth. It produces faith. And faith changes thing.


Health Food: What Does God's Word Say
    ...For thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name. (Ps. 138:2)
So much of the time, we accept the testimony of our physical senses instead of accepting the testimony of God's Word. What does God's Word say? Instead of stopping to ask ourselves that question, we let our physical senses dominate us. Now you can ask that question on any subject. For instance, what does God's Word say about sickness? Does God's Word have anything to say about sickness? Certainly it does! 

Don't spend all your time talking about how sick you are and what your symptoms are and what the doctor said about it. If you keep talking like that, you'll die. 
In the face of sickness, stop and ask yourself, "What does God's Word say about this disease?" Matthew 8:17 says, "That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses." 

What are you going to do with that? Believe it and confess it! And if you really believe it in your heart and confess it with your mouth, the reality of it will be created in your life. 
It doesn't happen overnight. You have to continually practice God's Word for it to work. You may have to confess some scriptures for a while, but if you continue and don't give up, you'll see the reality of it. 

Confession: 
What does God's Word say about my situation? I search and find out. Then I believe it and confess it. I continually practice God's Word. I continually give it first place in my life.
THIS is how faith is supposed to work! Continue to search the Word of God to see what HE says about YOUR situations! Meditate on that Word until faith rises up big and then declare and decree God's Word into YOUR life! AMEN! Here is Hillsong with an older, but very powerful song, called "Faith":



Shalom in Him!
