Elixir is defined as a substance that is believed to maintain life indefinitely. A substance or medicine believed to have the power to cure all ills and human disorders. A sovereign remedy. Think about it! How we could change the world if we had a medicine that could cure every sickness and every disease known to mankind. Think about the money we could divert to other uses. What about the lives that would be saved and the suffering we could eliminate. Mankind has look everywhere and researched every idea to no avail. Have you ever looked and looked for something you thought was lost only to find out that you were looking in the wrong place? That is what man has been doing for ages, looking in the wrong place for a cure all for his ails. The answer has been as close as the nearest bookstore and in some cases as close as the nearest book shelf. The remedy or cure all is the Word of God!
Proverbs 4:20-22, My son, attend to My Words; incline thine ear unto My sayings. Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh.
God’s Word is Life to Those Who Find It.
I find that if I study a word from its original language, I understand more of what the author is saying. I did this with several words from the above scripture. The Hebrew word for life is chay (khah’ – ee), meaning: Living, alive, life, or maintenance. Chay is derived from the Hebrew word chayah (khaw – yaw’): meaning: To restore to life or health, or, to revive from sickness or death. So this is what I get from the scripture were looking at. If I follow the instructions given then God’s word will perform maintenance on my body. We in the natural do maintenance on our homes, autos, clothing and even our teeth but most of us forget to do maintenance on our bodies! This scripture says that God’s word will maintain and revive your body from death, sickness and disease. Now I know why Jesus said that man would live by the word of God.
Psalms 107:20, He (God) sent His Word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.
Psalms 119:116, Uphold me according unto Thy Word, that I may live: and let me not be ashamed of my hope.
Proverbs 4:4-9, He taught me also, and said unto me, let thine heart retain my words: keep my commandments, and live. Get wisdom, get understanding.. Forsake her not, and she shall preserve thee: love her, and she shall keep thee…
Proverbs 7:2-3, Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of thine eye. Bind them upon thy fingers, write them upon the table of thine heart.
Psalms 105:37, He (God) brought them forth also with silver and gold: and there was not one feeble person among their tribes.
Ezekiel 37:1-10, And He (God) said unto me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord God, Thou knowest. Again He said unto me, Prophesy upon these bones, and say unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the Word of the Lord. Thus saith the Lord God unto these bones; Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live…So I prophesied as He commanded me, and breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their feet, an exceeding great army.
The Greek word for life is Zoe, meaning: Life in the absolute. Life as God has Life Absolute is defined as perfect in quality or nature; complete; not mixed; not limited by restrictions or exceptions. To better understand what I am saying, let’s look at absolute zero is -459.97 degrees Fahrenheit. Absolute zero is a temperature at which all molecular functions cease because of total absence of heat. Absolute Life, Zoe, is a quality of life totally void of darkness, sickness, disease, feebleness, and death in its working.
Matthew 4:4, But He (Jesus) answered and said, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every Word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
John 6:63, It is the Spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: The words I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
John 10:10, The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
John 11:40-44, Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God? Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up His eyes, and said, Father, I thank Thee that Thou hast heard me. And I knew that Thou hearest me always And when He thus had spoken, He cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth. And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with grave clothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go.
The absolute life that is in God’s word went into the tomb of Lazarus’ body while he was in the tomb and destroyed everything contrary to absolute life. Jesus sent the Elixir of Life to His dead friend and the Elixir did its job.
God’s Word is Medicine to Those Who Take It
Some make the mistake of believing in God’s medicine for taking the medicine. Believing in food but not eating it causes death. Believing in water but not drinking it causes death. Believing in healing but not taking God’s medicine would do no good. Lets us draw a parallels between God’s medicine (His Word) and natural medicine. God’s medicine and natural medicine are both healing agents which when used properly contain the capacity to bring about healing. Some natural medicines fail to work but God’s medicine always works. God’s medicine and natural medicine are no respecters of persons. Medicine will work for anyone who will take it. God’s will to heal is revealed in the fact that He gave the medicine. Both are prescribed by doctors.
Exod. 15:26 And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the LORD that healeth thee.
Leeser’s translation for God is “the Lord thy Physician“.
Rotherham’s translation for God is “Yahweh thy Physician“.
Goodspeed’s translation for God is “the Lord Who makes you immune to those diseases“.
Medicine must be taken according to directions to be effective. Natural medicine: Take internally; take externally; after meals; before meals; once daily; three times a day. Proverbs 4:20-22 is God’s directions for taking His medicine.
Proverbs 4:20-22, My son, attend to My Words; incline thine ear unto My sayings. Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh.
No matter how good the medicine is, or where it comes from, it must be taken according to directions, or it will not work. It takes time for medicine to work. Most people give natural medicine a lot of time, patience, and money to work. They diligently return for refills of their natural medicine. Treat God’s medicine the same: the more you take it, the more health you will experience.
The Key Method to Taking God’s Medicine is Meditation on God’s Word.
Meditation is defined as to say or mutter; to speak to oneself in low tones of voice; to revolve around in the mind; to study or ponder.
Joshua 1:8, This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shall make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.
God’s Word must govern our thoughts and speech. God’s Word must be acted upon. God’s Word will empower us to prosper in our bodies.
Psalms 1:1-3, Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in His law doth he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
Blessed is defined as empowered to prosper.
He (you) shall bring forth fruit…
Mark 4:24, And He (Jesus) said unto them, Take heed what ye hear: with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you: and unto you that hear shall more be given. (See Amp. Bible)
Thought and study produces understanding. Thought and study produces power. Thought and study enables you to experience God’s grace
2 Peter 1:2 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,
John 8:31-32, Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on Him, If ye continue in My Word, then are ye
My disciples indeed; and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
Disciples persist in the Word. Persistence produces knowledge of the truth. Knowledge of the truth liberates you from certain mortal liabilities. Do you know what mortal liabilities are? The word mortal means death doomed or subject to death. The curse of sickness, disease, infirmities, death and failure in every realm of life comes under the heading of mortal liabilities. Jesus said the Truth which is the Word of God is the Elixir of God that delivers us and enables us to above these mortal liabilities.
This Word of God must govern every utterance of ours, and, must occupy our every thought. That Elixir will then flow from our innermost being and drive out everything that does not agree with the will of God. You should take an overdose of this Elixir at lease three times a day. Then watch your body begin to change.
My Testimony:
I was born sick with underdeveloped lungs and asthma. I grew up a sickly child. In my young adulthood I acquired a very bad sinus problem that would incapacitate me for days. People say that as you get older, your health gets worst. I began to change my health condition thirty two years ago. I found the Elixir of Life and began to take it daily and it has changed my health profile. Today at 63 years of age I am on no medication except the Elixir. I get a physical every year followed by an excellent report. The Word of God say Jesus upholds all things by the Word of His Power. That Word upholds me! To Him be the Glory!!!!
