Carol had always felt a deep calling to serve as a nurse in Darwin, Australia.
Her days were filled with the bustle of the hospital, where she worked tirelessly, providing care and compassion to all her patients.
Recently, a group of Aboriginal families had come in from one of the nearby islands, seeking medical assistance.
Carol felt a particular kinship with them, admiring their rich cultural heritage and strength.
One day, a baby was brought in by a young Aboriginal mother.
The baby was in a coma, and despite the best medical efforts, there seemed to be little hope.
The mother, eyes filled with tears, clung to Carol, searching for any sign of hope.
Carol, a woman of faith, felt a stirring in her heart.
She recalled a passage from Proverbs 4:20-22:
“My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear to 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.”
These verses had always resonated with her, reinforcing her belief that God’s Word is medicine.
Gently, Carol asked the mother, “May I pray for your baby?”
The mother, was happy for a nurse to pray, because anything was worth trying.
Carol closed her eyes and placed a hand on the baby.
She began to pray, “Lord, Your Word is life and health to all flesh.
We ask for Your healing touch on this child.
Let Your words be medicine, bringing life and healing.”
As she prayed, she felt a peace settle over her.
She believed deeply in what Brother Keith had often taught – that God’s Word is medicine for everyone.
She remembered his teachings, “If you take enough of God’s Word long enough, it will heal you.
Friend, I exhort you to read the Word.
Your mind doesn’t have to understand all of it to get the benefit.
It’s medicine to all your flesh.”
For several days, Carol continued to pray and read healing scriptures over the baby.
She encouraged the mother to have faith, sharing the passages from Matthew and Ephesians, stressing the importance of absorbing God’s Word.
“God’s Word is spirit food,” she told her, “and this is healing medicine to all your flesh.”
One morning, as Carol entered the baby’s room, she noticed a change.
The baby’s eyes fluttered open, and a soft cry escaped its lips.
Carol’s heart leapt with joy.
She rushed to the mother, who fell to her knees, tears of gratitude streaming down her face.
Carol held the mother’s hands and smiled, “This is God’s miracle.
His Word is indeed medicine.
Keep His words in your heart, for they are life and health.”
The news of the baby’s recovery spread through the hospital, and many were moved by the power of faith and prayer.
Carol’s colleagues, some sceptical but curious, began to explore the healing power of God’s Word themselves.
Carol continued to serve, now with a renewed sense of purpose.
She often reflected on the miracle she had witnessed, reminding herself and others that, “Man does not live by bread alone but by every Word that comes out of the mouth of God.
God’s Word is medicine to all your flesh.
If you take enough of God’s Word long enough, it will heal you.”
And so, in the heart of Darwin, Carol’s faith and dedication became a beacon of hope, illustrating the profound truth that God’s Word is indeed medicine.
