Twenty-eight days passed, and still, she could tell no difference in her body. The symptoms of lymphoma remained, and she felt exactly the same. “But at the end of that 28 days, something happened,” she said. “Faith kicked in, and I knew I was healed.” On day 30, she went back to the doctors and they took X-rays again. They brought in two specialists. Then they brought in three more. But none of them could find any cancer. “Where is it?” they said. “It’s not here!” Stick With The WORD No Matter What Can you see the similarity between the centurion and LaShae? Like him, she put her faith in the authority of God’s WORD alone. With no physical evidence to rely on, and negative circumstances screaming at her, she pushed through and believed that by The WORD only, she would be healed. She didn’t do it lying in bed, either. She got up and walked as she declared God’s WORD. She put action to her faith, and although time and again she had the opportunity to give up, she refused to do it. We all have opportunities to give up when we’re standing in faith, and we all need to be reminded to do what LaShae did: to make the quality decision to stand on God’s WORD, refuse to be moved by what we see or what we feel in the natural, and stick with The WORD, no matter what. “But Brother Copeland, that sounds hard, and I’m hurting. Why won’t Jesus just do something for me?” He is doing something! He’s right there in you and with you. The Author and Finisher of your faith, He’s right there every time The WORD comes out of your mouth. Every time you say, “By His stripes I was healed,” He’s building you up. Every time you read and declare healing scriptures, faith is coming. Faith Comes From The WORD Faith is a spiritual force. You can’t feel it with your physical body. But when you hear God’s WORD, it always comes. The more WORD you get in your heart, the more faith keeps coming, until it boils over and you know that you know that you know: “This belongs to me! It’s mine! Jesus bought and paid for it, and I have The WORD of the living God on it. In the Name of Jesus, I AM HEALED!” I remember when that happened to me a few years ago after I was diagnosed by the doctors with plaque in my arteries. I was getting ready to preach, and on the morning of Aug. 12, 2016, as I was fellowshipping with The LORD, I believed I received my healing. Opening my Bible to Mark 11:23, I said, “Plaque, be thou removed.” Turning to Ephesians 5:26, I said, “I receive the cleansing of my arteries by the washing of water by The WORD.” Then I wrote it down in my little book of healing scriptures and tucked it away. In January 2017, I went back to the doctors for a head-to-toe physical. After examining me thoroughly, down to measuring the thickness of my arteries, do you know what they found? Zero plaque! I’ve had many experiences like that. So have a lot of other people I know who’ve learned to walk in WORD faith. One of the most outstanding I ever heard about was Brother Kenneth E. Hagin. As a young teenager, he was paralyzed and bedfast with an incurable heart condition. Back then, he’d never heard anyone preach about faith, but just by the leading of the Holy Spirit, every day for 16 long months, hour after hour he would read and quote the healing scriptures he’d found. One day, as he was reading Mark 11:22-24, it hit him: I have to believe I have it, before I have it, in order to get it! Determined to act on that revelation, he pushed his legs over the side of the bed. As they hit the floor like two lifeless sticks of wood, he grabbed hold of the bedpost, pulled himself up and declared, “I want to announce to God in heaven, The LORD Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, all the angels in this room and all the devils of hell—I am healed from the crown of my head to the soles of my feet!” Talk about someone who needed new parts! Born prematurely with serious internal deformities, Brother Hagin needed a total overhaul—and he got one. In the twinkling of an eye, not only did his legs come back to life, his heart, digestive tubing and blood were all replaced. How did it happen? By faith in the living WORD of God, The LORD Jesus Christ—the same yesterday, today and forever!
