As you put God’s prescription for health in your life do not be discouraged if you do not see immediate results. Although many times healing comes instantly, there are also times when it takes place more gradually. So do not let lingering symptoms cause you to doubt. After all, when you go to the doctor, you do not always feel better right away. The medication he gives you often takes some time before it begins to work. But you do not allow the delay to discourage you. You just follow the doctor’s orders and expect to feel better soon.

Really you are "treating" your Spirit that is the supernatural life and health for your physical body. Release that same kind of confidence in God’s medicine. Realize that the moment you begin to take it, the healing process begins. Keep your expectancy high and make up your mind to continue standing on the Word until you can see and feel the total physical effects of God’s healing power. When the devil whispers words of doubt and unbelief to you, when he suggests that the Word is not working, deal with these thoughts immediately. Cast them down.

II Corinthians 10:5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;

Speak it out loud if necessary and say, "Devil, I rebuke you. I bind you from my mind. I will not believe your lies. God has sent His word to heal me, and His word never fails. That word went to work in my body the instant I believed it, so as far as I am concerned, my days of sickness are over. I declare that Jesus bore my sickness, weakness, and pain and I am forever free!"

Then, having done all to stand, stand until healing is fully manifested.

Ephesians 6:12-14 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;

Steadfastly hold your ground. Do not waver.

James 1:6-8 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. 7 For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. 8 A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.

If your condition is serious, you may also have to resist the temptation to worry. The devil will try to use anxiety over your situation to choke the Word in your heart and make it unfruitful.

Mark 4:19 And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.

Do not let him succeed. Just trust God, "Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you." (1 Peter 5:7) and constantly keep in mind these wonderful words from Hebrews.

Hebrews 10:23, 35-36 So let us seize and hold fast and retain without wavering the hope we cherish and confess and our acknowledgement of it, for He who promised is reliable (sure) and faithful to His word. 35 Do not, therefore, fling away your fearless confidence, for it carries a great and glorious compensation of reward. 36 For you have need of steadfast patience and endurance, so that you may perform and fully accomplish the will of God, and thus receive and carry away [and enjoy to the full] what is promised.

Above all, keep your attention trained on the Word - not on lingering symptoms. Be like Abraham who "considered not his own body" (Romans 4:19). Instead of focusing on circumstances focus on what God has said to you. Develop an inner image of yourself with your healing fully manifested. See yourself well. See yourself whole. See yourself healed in every way. The Bible says in Proverbs to attend to the word and it will attend to you!

Proverbs 4:20-22 My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings, 21 Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. 22 For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh.
