18LHDVD12-3 - Geri McGhee - HOW TO DO WORD STUDIES - Geri begins by reminding us that the Word of God is settled forever. He watches over His Word to perform it. Jesus is the Word of God. She gives testimony of how the Word has brought deliverance and healing in her life. Instead of going to the world, we need to run to God. Proverbs 25:2 says, “It’s the glory of God to conceal a thing: but the honor of kings is to search out a matter”. She says that when we read or search out the Word of God, we are creating an atmosphere for Jesus. The Word says that the root of pain is vexation and that ‘the curse causeless cannot come’ which tells us that we need to go after the cause…. anger, unforgiveness, pride, idolatry etc. Repentance over the Word of God brings healing and deliverance. So, if we have a problem, we are to simply go to God, ask Him what the issue is, repent and watch Him set us free. For example, if you have a back problem, begin to look up all the scriptures on the word “back”, or symptoms, and see what God shows you. She then gave very specific details as to how this is done: finding the applicable word in scripture, then reading - not just that verse but all the surrounding verses in that particular chapter, repenting for everything mentioned, knowing that we or someone in our bloodline probably committed the mentioned sin and ask God to cleanse, heal and deliver. Geri uses several different passages, showing how to do this, leads us in prayer, asking God to show us our issues, and then does deliverance.
