The Word of God is the Basis for All God Does

I was talking with a good friend of mine. We were talking about healing. He said that he had a personal experience with healing where God healed him and he did not believe in healing. I have also had experiences where Godly people were not healed. I asked God about it and He said that I can't know what is in another person's heart. Experience is a terrible way of interpreting the Word of God. The only ways to interpret the Word of God is the Word of God and the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit's job is to lead us into all truth.

The Word of God and faith with action are the ways that God operates. Sowing and reaping is the way of the Kingdom of God. Ignorance of the Word of God keeps us from understanding God and His ways. Just because we do not understand why we experienced what we experienced does not mean the Word of God or lack of the Word of God did not cause the results.

For example, Matthew 9:20-21 tells about a woman with an flow of blood. She had gone to doctors and had spent all of her money. She was desperate. She came up behind Jesus and touched the hem of His garment. "For she said to herself, "If only I may touch His garment, I shall be made well." Jesus said to her, "Your faith has made you well." It does not tell that she heard the Word of God. Yet Jesus told her she had faith (which comes from the Word of God) to receive her healing. What happened. Experience might say that she got healed without the Word of God. If you go to Malachi 4:2, you find a prophesy about the Messiah. "But to you who fear My name The Sun of Righteousness shall arise with healing in His wings; and you shall go out and grow fat like stall-fed calves." The lady had heard this and knew if she could only touch the hem of His garment which was a prayer shawl with tassels (wings) on the bottom,she would be healed. Any time we have a need we can look to Jesus, He is God's source for every need.
