I have been reminded lately of the healing power of the things of God. There is healing power in reading the Bible - just reading and taking in the Word of God will heal you mentally, emotionally, and physically. This is also true of prayer and fellowship with godly people.
Above all there is NO DOUBT that there is healing power in our words. Jesus says it this way in Matthew 15:11, "Not what goes into the mouth defiles a man; but what comes out of the mouth, this defiles a man." He pointed to the fulfillment of all the Old Testament dietary laws as being the realization that our words are powerful! If you read through Leviticus (which I know is on the top of your list), then you will see there are a lot of dietary laws and this is truly a powerful statement!
Proverbs 18:21 cannot be underestimated! "Death and life are in the power of the tongue..." We need to take seriously the exhortation to speak life and not speak death. You have the power to speak life over yourself and those around you. Be a healer!
