A weapon is as potent as the one holding it
No matter how great, fantastic, awesome a weapon is the potent or the effectiveness of that weapon is determined by the person holding it
If a child is using a weapon it might not be as potent or effective as when an adult is holding the same weapon
The potent or effectiveness of a weapon is determined by the holder
The holder's SKILLS and EXPERIENCE determined the results
So also the word of God, the word of God has been tested and trusted
But however you as a person also needs to believe and acts on the word so that you can generate your own results
In the book of Hebrews chapter 11 the bible talk about how men of old frame their worlds by the word of God
This weapon call the word of God get better in your hand the more you use it
The more you use it the more you are gaining experiences the more you are becoming skillful the more you becoming better at it, in fact the more you are becoming that word yourself
Peace be unto you

Living by faith is a must for you as a believer of Christ
Because the exploration and experiencing of redemption is through faith
It is in possible for you to explore redemption talkless of experiencing it without faith

Romans 1:17
For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
Living by faith means Living according to the dictate of the word of God and the Holy Spirit
That is why Jesus says a man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that proceed from the mouth of GodMatthew 4:4
But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

if you refuse to live by faith then you already deny the Faith
And what is the faith: The faith is the entire embodiment of Christians believe
And what is Christians believes:
Christians believe;
1: Jesus incarnation ; the birth of God in human form
2: The death of Christ
3: The Resurrection of Christ
4:The glorification of Jesus
It takes faith to believes these four realities and it takes faith to journey into experiencing them
As a believer it is expected of you to come into these four experiences
When you come to Christ and get born again that is when the first experience happened to you
The second one happened when you understand what is called faith of the son (Galatians 2:20) That is when you literally dies to your will meaning you dies to the kind of life you desires,the kind of life you wishes to live but embrace His life (His will) John 12:26, Luke 9:23--24
The third one happened to you when you resurrected with a new life after you are dead to self but now alive unto God meaning you have put on a new man (Colossians 3:10

Romans 6:5
For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:

Philippians 3:10
That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;

The fourth one is a glory realm where you are no longer subject to anything of this world but you rules and reign over all creations where you take full charge of situations and circumstances and determine how they are to be
Is a level where Your talking,your acting is God
Is a level where nothing else is proceeding from you but God
Go and study Romans chapter 6
May the Lord gives you understanding
Peace be unto you

There is a relationship between forgiveness and healing
And there is a synergy between unforgiven and sickness
Many people don't know that the reason why they remain in sickness is because they refused to forgive their offenders
Isaiah 33:24
And the inhabitant shall not say, I am sick: the people that dwell therein shall be forgiven their iniquity.

Matthew 9:2
And, behold, they brought to him a man sick of the palsy, lying on a bed: and Jesus seeing their faith said unto the sick of the palsy; Son, be of good cheer; thy sins be forgiven thee.
James 5:15
And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.
Before the falling of man there was nothing like sickness, but after the falling of man sickness gained entrance into humans body
During the time that Adam was in the garden the kind of body that Adam had does not fall sick but after the fall the body could not sustain the glory of God that use to covers it again so it started decaying and then the body began to age that's the point at which it becomes cummposary for Man to begin to number its days so at this point Man must take critical cares of its body if the body will not be breaking down with sicknesses and diseases
The redemption work will not be complete if Jesus will not specifically give provisions for healing in His redemption work
Isaiah 53:5
But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.

1 Peter 2:24
Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.
Even though Jesus has perfected the work of healing for man kind it might be difficult to access that healing without giving or receiving forgiveness because healing didn't come on it's own it comes after forgiveness has comes
If you could go back and critically check all the scripture I have quoted you will discover that it was after forgiveness that healing comes,so it is save to say healing is a byproduct of forgiveness
In case you are sick right now I want you to know that all you need is to received by faith forgiveness of your sins and you need to forgive also those who have offended you then receive your healing by faith
Let me take you back to the scripture again
Please and please you need to go and study" Matthew 18:21--35" it was Jesus that was talking about a man who was owing his master Ten thousand but his master forgave him but when he saw his fellow servant that was owing him hundred pence he refused to forgive, when his master heard he was very angry and deal with him but at the end of this message Jesus said so also shall his heavenly father will deal with whoever refused to forgive his brother
Matthew 18:35 So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.
May the Lord gives you understanding
Peace be unto you
