“A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: but a broken spirit drieth the bones.” Proverbs 17:22




How vitally important it is today for us to maintain a merry heart. There are many things released in the atmosphere to keep you sad and break your spirit. You will be surprised how many are suffering from sicknesses they never bargained for and even some have died because of their heart condition. Many people are working about today almost at the point of dropping dead because of the load they are carrying. They are so worried sick that no medication is working for them; if you are in this condition, I come to you with the best prescription you can ever have – THE WORD OF GOD. Look at the text above again – a merry heart doeth good like medicine. The Amplified version says it this way: A happy heart is good medicine and a cheerful mind works healing, but a broken spirit dries up the bones.





Having a merry heart is not a function of what you have in your bank account, but of whose you are. If Jesus Christ is the Lord of your life, then nothing is strong enough to weigh you down. Whether you choose to rejoice in the promises of God or get weighed down by the activities of the devil is up to you. It is a choice you have to make. Then that verse goes on to say when your spirit is broken it dries the bones, in other words a broken spirit breaks down your body with all kinds of sickness and diseases. Since I discovered this scripture, I refused to be sad no matter what, I choose to hold on and rejoice in the promises of God because at the end of the day, only the word of God will prevail. In the same way I challenge you to rise up and leap for joy and see Satan bow before you.
