They compared the new X-rays to the old and they called in more specialists. After they talked among themselves for a while they brought LaShea over and showed her the new X-rays. “Where is the cancer?” they asked. “It’s not here!” The doctors couldn’t understand it, but LaShea understood it perfectly. “The Word of God isn’t just something in the Bible,” she says, “when we take it, it becomes life!” Just Wishing Won’t Get It “I sure wish something like that would happen to me, Brother Copeland.” It can happen to you—but it won’t come by wishing. It will happen when you do what Proverbs 4:20-22 says and incline your ear to The WORD. If you keep doing that, it can’t not happen because The WORD has divine power in it to bring itself to pass. It is The WORD of God! His WORD has so much life and health in it that it destroyed all the cancer in LaShea McKinney’s body in 28 days. You might not think a miracle like that could happen in just 28 days, but with God it can happen in 28 seconds—particularly in a meeting where the anointed WORD of God is being preached. Think about the miracle that happened in Acts 14, for instance. The Apostle Paul was preaching in the city of Lystra, “and there sat a certain man…impotent in his feet, being a cripple from his mother's womb, who never had walked: The same heard Paul speak: who stedfastly beholding him, and perceiving that he had faith to be healed, said with a loud voice, Stand upright on thy feet. And he leaped and walked” (verses 8-10). What did the man hear that empowered him to receive that instant miracle? Acts 14 doesn’t tell us exactly. It just says Paul “preached the gospel” (verse 7). But we can assume he said in Lystra much the same thing he wrote in his letter to the Galatians: “Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: that the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ…” (Galatians 3:13-14). Threefold Curse, Threefold BLESSING The curse came on mankind through Adam’s sin and it was threefold. It included spiritual death, poverty and sickness. THE BLESSING of Redemption that Jesus provided through His life, death and resurrection is also threefold. It includes the new birth, prosperity and healing. That’s what the man at Lystra heard! He found out about Jesus. He found out Jesus had redeemed him not only from the curse of sin, but from the curse of crippled feet. He found out about THE BLESSING that makes whole—spirit, soul and body—received it by faith, and leaped up and walked. In some Bibles, at the beginning of that story the translators added a subhead that says, Paul Heals a Man at Lystra. But that’s wrong! Paul didn’t heal that man. It was The WORD of faith that healed him. Wouldn’t it be more accurate to say it was God that healed him? you might wonder. No, it would be saying the same thing because God and His WORD are One! That’s why when the sower sows The WORD, as Jesus said in Mark 4:14-15, “Satan cometh immediately” to steal The WORD that was sown. It’s why he works so feverishly, once we start getting The WORD in our heart, to choke it out with offenses, distractions, and the cares of the world. He knows if we receive The WORD and refuse to let it go, it will come to pass in our lives. It will bear fruit, 30 and 60 and a hundredfold. That’s what happened with Regi McCorkle, another Partner with this ministry whose testimony we share in Healing School. She had spent 15 years in a wheelchair. Migraine headaches had affected her body much like a series of strokes, and she’d lost the use of her right leg and right arm. 8 : BVOV
