PTSD

Post traumatic stress disorder: (PTSD) is a severe anxiety (fear) disorder that can develop after exposure to any event that result in psychological or physical trauma. This event may involve the threat of death to oneself or to someone else. It can be someone else's physical, sexual, or psychological integrity, overwhelming the individual's ability to cope. As an effect of psychological trauma, PTSD is less frequent and more enduring than the more commonly seen post-traumatic stress (also known as acute stress response). Diagnostic symptoms for PTSD include re-experiencing the original trauma through flashbacks or nightmares, avoidance of stimuli associated with the trauma, and increased arousal—such as difficulty falling or staying asleep, anger, and hyper vigilance (a state of heightened awareness and watchfulness; "on guard).

What are the symptoms of PTSD?

PTSD can cause many symptoms. These symptoms can be grouped into three categories:

1. Re-experiencing symptoms:

• Flashbacks—reliving the trauma over and over in your mind and including physical symptoms like a racing heart, sweating, panic, attacks, and many more.
• Bad dreams
• Frightening thoughts.

Re-experiencing symptoms may cause problems in a person’s everyday routine. They can start from the person’s own thoughts and feelings. Words, objects, or situations that are reminders of the event can also trigger re-experiencing.

2. Avoidance symptoms:

• Staying away from places, events, or objects that are reminders of the experience
• Feeling emotionally numb
• Feeling strong guilt, depression, or worry
• Losing interest in activities that were enjoyable in the past
• Having trouble remembering the dangerous event.

Things that remind a person of the traumatic event can trigger avoidance symptoms. These symptoms may cause a person to change his or her personal routine. For example, after a bad car accident, a person who usually drives may avoid driving or riding in a car.

3. Hyper-arousal symptoms: a state of increased psychological and physiological tension

• Being easily startled
• Feeling tense or “on edge”
• Having difficulty sleeping, and/or having angry outbursts.

Hyper-arousal symptoms are usually constant, instead of being triggered by things that remind one of the traumatic events.  Meaning, many stressors are constantly present and working continuously in our soul causing symptoms rather than having one large trauma/stressor triggering intense symptoms.  They can make the person feel stressed and angry. These symptoms may make it hard to do daily tasks, such as sleeping, eating, or concentrating.

It’s natural to have some of these symptoms after a dangerous event. Sometimes people have very serious symptoms that go away after a few weeks. This is called acute stress (fear) disorder, or ASD. When the symptoms last more than a few weeks and become an ongoing problem, they might be PTSD. Some people with PTSD do not show any symptoms for weeks or months, but rest assured, it will surface eventually.

Spiritually speaking, we must understand how the spirit of fear operates.  Fear is mentioned in the bible over 365 times.  Basically, God is telling us: Do Not Fear. Satan will always focus on the easiest way to control us, destroy us, and kill us.  Fear is the number one tool he uses to do this.  God is telling us how much of an issue fear is. Especially, fear that can lead to anxiety disorders.  Anxiety disorders that can eventually lead to PTSD and it can affect anyone.  Not just soldiers, policemen, paramedics, and firemen.

We can be born with fear from past generations (For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me Deuteronomy 5:9).  Couple that with the stress, anxiety, and fears from the time we are born to our present age.  This could be tens of thousands of traumas/fears over our life time.  What I am saying here is that PTSD can be a lifetime of large or smaller traumas leading to PTSD in our later years.  Not just one massive trauma in our lives.

Where there is PTSD in your life, you WILL experience depression or oppression.  Oppression is a deeper form of depression.  The dictionary defines oppression as prolonged, cruel, or unjust treatment or control.  A similar word is persecution.  Oppression is called a spirit of stupor in the bible (“God has given them a spirit of stupor, eyes that they should not see and ears that they should not hear, to this very day” Romans 11:8).  This verse tells us that we have an unsound mind or existence.

Science, doctors, therapists treat the symptoms.  Yet, people are still fighting fear and PTSD in their lives with little relief.  Key to being healed from PTSD is treating the cause.  We must pray away the fears.

In conclusion: Fear will try to create and dominate your present and your future.  Fear projects into the future, based on your past.  It is important that you learn to put aside everything you have been exposed to that controls you and tries to create your future for you.  That could include recognizing what is in your family tree, your memories, philosophies, idiosyncrasies (odd or peculiar habits), and any programming that causes victimization.  

Prayer:

Father God, in the name of Jesus, I take authority over all fears in my life and the fears from previous generations that were passed down to me. I pray away all fears in me.  I pray for healing of these fear symptoms and I declare restoration, God’s peace, and His perfect love over me, (There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment, 1 John 4:18).

Everyone struggles with traumas, fears, and PTSD at one level or another and Satan will always try to remind you of your past traumas and fears tied to traumas.  This is when we must repeat the above prayer.   We are engaged in a spiritual war and we must pray every day and sometimes many times per day or we lose the battle.                                                                                                                                                         Tony Sanchez, 12-11-23                                                                       

Drivenness – A Performative Lifestyle

A high-performance lifestyle comes from creating a life that enables sustained levels of high performance. It comes down to instilling habits, practices, and mental and physical actions that promote sustained excellence. It means doing things well often.

Drivenness definition – The quality of being driven; drive; ambition.  It means strongly motivated to succeed. Synonyms: compulsive, determined ambitious, and aspirational.

A key synonym of drivenness is the word compulsive.  Compulsive - resulting from or relating to an irresistible urge, especially one that is against one's conscious wishes.  Similar words are irresistible, uncontrollable, overwhelming, overpowering, and out of control.

A performative lifestyle has many issues that most do not identify.  You see it in many people.  It is especially prevalent with athletics who are driven to work so hard to be successful.  There is a huge letdown when they fail to meet their expectations and the expectations of others.  They look at their selves as failures.   It is fear driven and leads to self-loathing, anger, and depression (Proverbs 12:25 Anxiety in the heart of man causes depression).

What are symptoms tied to drivenness?  It produces fear of failure, fear of not producing, fear of letting people and your-self down, fear of what people will think of you (being judged), fear of not getting recognized, and fear of not being perfect to name of few.  It will cause you to beat up on yourself because of not living up to your expectations.

People with drivenness are amped up 24/7 trying to please others.  Their minds are racing trying to be worthy as a person.  It is never enough because mankind has programed us to think we are defined by success and we will do anything to show people and self that we are worthy to be defined as successful.  The fear can cause insomnia, headaches, migraine, high blood pressure, confusion, and many other issues.  It produces chaotic life devoid of peace.

Let us talk about what caused the drivenness?  Number one issue is our relationship with our parents.  Specifically, the father.  Over 90% of all fathers failed to say these words to their children, “I love you.”  Or if they did say these words, the children did not believe them because of the way the father treated them.  Most often with wrath, disappointment for any reason, or simply not being in their lives even though they lived in the same house.  Most often, the father’s father treated them the same way. This creates a feeling of being unloved, rejected, and feeling abandoned.  Most of the time it results in anger and addictions. Addictions trying to fill the void of feeling unloved.  Drivenness is an addiction.

 How does one overcome the addiction of drivenness?  Only through prayer.  We go to the root of the problem which is fear.

Prayer:

Father God, in the name of Jesus, I take authority over the fear that led to drivenness and I cast it out of me and I declare healing of this unloving spirit.  I declare God loves me; therefore, I will love myself.

Understand, there is a process.  The unloving spirit will surface again and again when we allow the memories of the unloving spirit to return. This unloving spirit has been there for decades.  It is not going to go away with one prayer unless God does otherwise.  We must repeat the prayer daily and sometimes several times a day until the unloving spirit starts to lose its grip on you and is no longer keeping you in captivity.

Unloving is tied to fear.  We need Gods perfect love first because it casts out all fear, 1 John 4:18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love. 

We are in a spiritual battle.  Yet we continue to fight in the physical and lose the war.  Especially, as it pertains to sickness and disease.  Ask your pastor, leadership, and church friends this:  Why do we come to church suffering from sickness and disease and leave sick and diseased?  The Bible provides the answers on how to be healed.                                                       Tony Sanchez 12/5/2023

Curses

 Cancelling Curses in the Name of Jesus

Through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross, I have passed from being under the curse and entered the blessing of Abraham whom God blessed in all things, Galatians 3:14-18

There two main curses that we must address in our lives

Generational curses: And the Lord passed before him and proclaimed, “The Lord, the Lord God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abounding in goodness and truth, 7 keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, by no means clearing the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children and the children’s children to the third and the fourth generation,” Exodus 34:6-7.  The of the generations are perpetual, as most families have three to four generations still living at any given time.  The oldest may pass, but another generation is born.    

Spoken curses: Out of the same mouth proceed blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not to be so, James 3:10.  Spoken curses have a profound effect on our mental and physical health whether we are cursing ourselves or some other person pronouncing a curse on us.  Ever hear the story of a parent telling their child they would never amount to anything.  How about cursing self.  All curses are damaging.  I have come across  spoken curses resulting in Vertigo.  There is a different prayer for this if needed.

Breaking the Curses in Our Lives

Father God, I believe Jesus is the Son of God and the only way to God.  Jesus died on the cross for our sins and rose again from the dead.  On the cross Jesus was made a curse for us all so that all our sins could be forgiven when we confess them to you, James 5:16 Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.  That, I might be redeemed from the curse and enter the blessings that You have promised. 

There are two parts to canceling curses.  The past generations are part one.  Part two is cancelling the curses due to being a partaker of the curses of sicknesses and diseases that came down the generations line.

Part 1 – Father God, I confess all sins of my ancestors including all sickness and disease listed in Deuteronomy 28 that have been passed down the generational line.  In Jesus name, I cancel any generational curses handed down to me and the generations below me and I ask you to forgive all of us.   At this point the curses of the past generations are cancelled.

Part 2– I confess being a partaker of past generational sins that I inherited.  God, I ask you to forgive me for being partakers of generational sin.

Father God, having received by faith your forgiveness and with the authority I have as a child of God, I now release myself and those under my authority from any curse over our lives in the name of Jesus. 

With most sickness and disease curses, one must consistently pray part two of this prayer as partakers because we tend to bring back the curses as partakers of the curses either in our soul by declaration or by physical actions.  We do this until the curses of the current generations are minimized or eradicated. 

This is a process.  Rarely do I see immediate healing.  Keep praying because God promises healing.

Now, thank Him, Praise Him and love Him with all your heart. Amen!                                   Tony Sanchez 11-28-23

Immune Diseases - Dry Bones

 

Dry Bones

Just what are dry bones?  What are wet bones? Is our health tied to either one of these types of bones? Yes.   

Bone Marrow - Bone marrow is a spongy substance found in the center of the bones. It manufactures bone marrow stem cells and other substances, which in turn produce blood cells. Each type of blood cell made by the bone marrow has an important job.

·         Red blood cells carry oxygen to tissues in the body.

·         Platelets stop bleeding by helping blood clot.

·         White blood cells fight infections.

White Blood Cells - Three very important types of white blood cells are essential to the proper functioning of the body's immune system, which fights infection:

·         Neutrophils and Macrophages — These white blood cells fight bacterial and fungal infections by "eating" germs

·         Lymphocytes — These white blood cells fight bacterial, viral, and fungal infections. T lymphocytes, also called T cells, attack viruses and other germs. T cells from the donor also can attack the recipient resulting in a reaction called graft versus host disease. T cells from the recipient can reject the donor bone marrow cell resulting in graft failure. B lymphocytes make antibodies which help destroy germs in our body.

The blood cells are critical because they produce the blood cells that keep us healthy.  Compromised bone morrow leads to a compromised immune system.  The Bible has a lot to say about bones good and bad.

Isaiah 58:11 (KJV) And the Lord shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not.

Proverbs 16:24 Pleasant words are like a honeycomb, Sweetness to the soul and health to the bones.

Proverbs 15:30 The light of the eyes rejoices the heart, And a good report makes the bones healthy.

Proverbs 17:22 A merry heart does good, like medicine, But a broken spirit dries the bones.

Proverbs 14:30 A sound heart is life to the body, But envy is rottenness to the bones.

Psalm 6:2 Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am weak; O Lord, heal me, for my bones are troubled.

Psalm 38:3 There is no soundness in my flesh Because of Your anger, Nor any health in my bones Because of my sin.

Proverbs 12:4 An excellent wife is the crown of her husband, But she who causes shame is like rottenness in his bones.

Habakkuk 3:16 When I heard, my body trembled (in fear); My lips quivered at the voice; Rottenness entered my bones; And I trembled in myself, That I might rest in the day of trouble.

Bitterness, rage, anger, slander, unforgiveness, hatred, and even fear play a huge part in drying our bones (marrow) leading to sickness and disease.  Bitterness towards ourselves and others is linked to all cancers.  Cancer is an auto-immune disease.  We need blood cells to ward off cancer and other auto-immune diseases (Autoimmune diseases result when your immune system is overactive, causing it to attack and damage your body's own tissues).  When we attack ourselves and others with bitterness and hatred, we attack our physical and mental (soul) body as well. 

God tells us what to do with that bitterness in Ephesians 4:31-32 (NIV) Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.

Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents

Science and the medical field treat the symptoms.  God shows us what the causes are that leads to symptoms.  There is no cure for cancer or auto-immune diseases by the medical field, but God provides a way to be healed of auto-immune diseases.

Psalm 103:2-3 Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits:  Who forgives all your iniquities (sins),
Who heals all your diseases.

James 5:16 Confess your trespasses (sins) to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.

Matthew 10:1 And when He had called His twelve disciples to Him, He gave them power over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease.

We are the disciples of the disciples all the way down to this day.  God gives us the authority in Jesus’ name and all the tools to bring people out of captivity from sickness and disease.  Why do we continue to seek science and the doctors first to heal us when they cannot heal us.  Where is our faith in Holy Spirit, Jesus, and God?  Why don’t we believe?

Isn’t easier to forgive ourselves and others than suffer sickness and disease?

Matthew 18:21-22 Peter came to Him and said, “Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Up to seven times?” Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to 70 times seven.  Until the unforgiveness is not an issue anymore.

Ephesians 4:31-32 Get rid of all bitterness, rage, anger, harsh words, and slander…. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you. Tony Sanchz 11/10/2023

 

 

 

Depression Par 2

 

What is Depression? Part 2

In Part 1 of What is Depression we discussed the definition of fear, the spiritual roots of fear, and the ministry of casting out fear.  In part 2 we will identify the different types of fear working in people causing us to experience depression that we are not aware of or do not associate with.  The spirit of fear causes the majority of all sicknesses and diseases.  That is why God says do not fear 365 times in the bible.

Sorrow definition - a feeling of deep distress (fear) caused by loss, disappointment, or other misfortune suffered by oneself or others.  Notice distress in the definition.  It means to have extreme anxiety, sorrow, or pain.  Similar words are sadness, unhappiness, regret, depression, misery, despondency, despair, heaviness of heart, broken-heartedness, and heartache.  Sorrow is very damaging to our soul and it is not healthy to our mental and physical.  A broken heart can cause heart problems.  Psalms 34:18 The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart.  God is near those with a broken heart, but He does not want you to have a broken heart.  Psalm 34:18 The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves such as have a contrite (repentant) spirit.  Always consider the mind body connection.  Whatever happens to our soul will affect our physical.

Regret definition - feel sad, repentant, or disappointed over (something that has happened or been done, especially a loss or missed opportunity).  Similar words are remorse sorrow (there is that word again), contrition, guilt, shame, self-reproach, self-accusation, self-condemnation, self-critical, sadness, disappointment, unhappiness, and dejection.  It leads to feeling like a failure, fear of failure, fear of people judging you. So, we have a triple whammy here. Regrets, fear, and beating up yourself because of regrets. All contributing to depression. 

Hopelessness definition - a feeling or state of despair (the complete loss or absence of hope).  This can be issues with marriages, children, churches, illness, faith, jobs, government, and even self.  The key point here is fear that nothing will ever change.  It will cause us to go into deeper depression called oppression or a spirit of stupor.  God speaks of this in Romans 11:8 “God has given them a spirit of stupor, Eyes that they should not see and ears that they should not hear, To this very day.”  The verse is symbolism.  It means God has allowed a spirit of stupor or deeper level of depression or numbness.

Unloving definition – Not loving. Similar words are cold, detached, hard-hearted, heartless.  Most people do not like what they see in the mirror. In most cases they hate themselves or have an extreme dislike towards their self.  They do not think they are worthy to be loved.  This is fear. They feel like a failure.  Unloving cause a person to beat up on their selves.  Many times, they do not love others because they have been hurt by them. The fear they will be hurt again.  There is a fear they will run into them in public.  All this fear causes depression, because we have trusted in mankind for love instead of God. A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. John 13:34

Anxious definition - experiencing worry, unease, or nervousness, typically about an imminent event or something with an uncertain outcome. Similar words are: worried, concerned, apprehensive, fearful, uneasy, ill at ease, perturbed, troubled, bothered, disturbed, distressed, fretful, fretting, agitated, in a state of agitation, nervous, in a state of nerves, edgy, on edge, tense, overwrought, worked up, keyed up, strung out, jumpy, afraid, worried sick, with one's stomach in knots, on pins and needles, stressed, under stress, in suspense, uptight, a bundle of nerves, on tenterhooks, jittery, twitchy, in a sweat, antsy, spooked, and squirrelly.

Mini-Hoarding - Hoarding disorder is an ongoing difficulty throwing away or parting with possessions because you believe that you need to save them. You may experience distress at the thought of getting rid of the items. Hoarding is more prevalent than we want to admit. Just look at your garage.

We have been programed by commercials and society to buy more and more things.  We buy tools, clothing, and shoes.  We become collectors of many things that suit your fancy like athletic shoes, cars, and toys. We buy things to keep up with our friends.   Before you know it, your garage is full of stuff and we must find additional storage so we rent storage spaces.  Have you notice how many new storage facilities have been built near you?  We cannot bear to part from our possessions.  We feel a need to save these items and become upset (distressed) by the thought of getting rid of them.  Hoarding crates soul ties.  People become one with their stuff and cannot bear to let it go. 

Money is another thing people hoard.  The fear of losing their money brings great stress/fear.

Trauma definition - A deeply distressing or disturbing experience. Shock, distress (fear), stress (fear), strain, pain, anguish, suffering, upset, agony, misery, sorrow, grief, heartache (both mentally and physically), heartbreak, torture, disturbance, disorder, jolt, ordeal, trials, tribulation, trouble, worry (fear), anxiety (fear), burden, adversity, hardship. 

Traumas to the mental and physical are all fear related.  Traumas and the fear attached to them will cause many of the sicknesses and diseases we all experience over time.  Traumas and the fear attached to them cause depression.  Traumas will compromise your immune system.  It will cause your metabolism to slow down which causes weight gain leading to fear of looking fat to self and others. They will have a feeling of hopelessness and despair (depression).  Traumas lead to PTSD.  PTSD is rooted in extreme fear and they relive the trauma over and over.  It paralyzes them and keeps them in captivity.

The above definitions are all traumas to the soul.  What happens to the soul affects your physical.  It is a mind body connection.  The trauma definition links all the above definitions.  They lead to depression. 

2 Timothy 1:7 is a verse that is very informative. For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.  Fear does not come from God, so that leaves Satan as the culprit. God give us power over fear and gives us a sound mind.  It is Satan through fear that give us an unsound mind.  It leads to a stupor (“God has given (allowed) them a spirit of stupor, Eyes that they should not see and ears that they should not hear, to this very day Roman 11:8) as we get older because of all the fears in our lives.  Dementia, Alzheimer’s, and many other brain impairments lead to memory loss.  This is the unsound mind God talks about in 2 Timothy 1:7. God tells us the cause is fear.  What do doctors tell us? 

So, we continue to go to the doctor as a first and last option for answers, but all they do is treat the symptoms and we remain sick and diseased. Doctors don’t heal.  They just give us drugs and operate on the symptoms.

We put so much hope in diets, but we remain sick and diseased. Food does not cause depression and only plays a small part in our health.  Food can irritate the symptoms of sickness and disease, but cannot help cure us.

Fear causing the symptom of depression is sin. Stop fearing.  God gives us a very basic remedy for healing sickness and disease in His Word.  The key is to follow His instructions multiple times per day if needed until the symptoms go away and you are healed.  The instruction is in James.

Confess your trespasses (sin) to one another (To God in Jesus Name), and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent (profound) prayer of a righteous man avails much, James 5:16 and pray away the fears causing depression and other fear sicknesses and diseases in the Name of Jesus.   

God gives us power and authority over Satan and his kingdom in Luke 9:1 Then He called His twelve disciples together and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases.  What is hindering you? Is it because of your belief?

We go into church sick and diseased and we leave sick and diseased.  The leadership and the flock are failing because we do not believe God’s Word.                                               Tony Sanchez 10-25-23

Depression Part 1

 What Is Depression? - Part 1

Depression is defined as a mental health disorder that involves your thoughts, your behavior, your feeling, and your sense of well-being.  People who are depressed feel consistently sad, anxious, and empty.  They can also feel hopeless, worthless, guilty, irritable, ashamed, sad, lonely, withdrawn, restless, and have suicidal thoughts.  They lose interest in activities that were once pleasurable to them and they may overeat or experience a loss of appetite.  They may have problems with fatigue, sleeping, concentrating, and making decisions.  Withdrawal, isolation, experiencing hopelessness and despair are some of the worst results of depression. 

Biologically, depression is defined as a chemical imbalance in the body. There is nothing organically wrong with the brain, but there is a disruption in the normal function of the brain’s neurotransmitters, so that they fail to secrete the correct balance of three chemicals: serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine.  The homeostasis, or balance, of the brain chemicals is affected.  Over a period of time, mental illness and disorders are the result. 

Science does not recognize just one cause of depression; it says that depression is a result of a combination of factors.  One factor may be heredity; a part of our family tree can make your more susceptible to the riggers that interfere with your brain’s chemical balance.  Other factors are environmental issues, psychological elements, or a side effect of certain medications.  However, one thing science does not acknowledge is the influence of evil spirits, which are the root cause of mental illness according to Proverbs 12:25. 

Spiritual Roots of Depression

Science is all about the psyche (soul).  But you many not really need more counseling for your soul.  Instead, you may need to get rid of an evil spirit that is influencing your thoughts.  You must decide not to be influenced by this spirit anymore.  The evil spirit may need to be cast out and evil thoughts cast down in the name of Jesus so that they can no longer torment you.  Let me explain what evil spirt I am talking about.  It is in God’s Word in Proverbs, Anxiety in the heart of man causes depression, but a good word makes it glad. Proverbs 12:25 NKJV. Anxiety is fear and fear is described as a spirit in 2 Timothy, For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind 2 Timothy 1:7.

In addition to fear, Henry Wright found that there are several spiritual roots behind depression.  Self-accusations, self-introspection, self-hatred, and self-centeredness are the enemies of someone struggling with depression. These spirts are coupled with shame, guilt, and self-condemnation.  Self-pity is the glue that holds it all together.  If you struggle with self-pity, then you are struggling with your faith.  Self-pity frequently reflects the failure of something in the past that you are constantly reliving and bringing into the present.  Serotonin can be depleted in individuals who do not feel loved and accepted.  Feeling unloved and fear of not being loved is a huge factor in depression.

In such situations, because of the spirit-soul connection, the hypothalamus and other parts of the limbic system are then affected.  Those glands responsible for regulating mood, thinking, sleep, appetite, and behavior.  Important chemicals the brain needs to function correctly are thrown out of balance.  All the enemy must do is manipulate your biochemistry to create this havoc.  He does it, once again, through the influence of thought. His kingdom of darkness gives you a thought, convinces you that this thought come from you, and then pressures you to agree.  These are all lies from the evil one.  In the case of depression, you brain will then conform to those thoughts.  A person becomes one with the thoughts producing depression.

The problems with psychiatry is that it is the practice of medicine apart from an understanding of how God has created us.  Practitioners treat their patients as though they had only a soul and a body.  They do not acknowledge or understand that we are also a spirit being because they cannot see the spiritual realm.  They do not understand that a spiritual influence is the root cause behind 80 percent of diseases and disorders of the mind and body.  Their efforts are hindered because they only treat the physical symptoms and do not consider the possible root cause of the sickness and disease.

 Ministry

How do we minister to a person who has depression?  We pray out the fears causing the depression.  This can include fear of not being loved, fear of not being worthy, fear of rejection, fear of abandonment, fear of confrontation, fear of failure, fear of the future, and many more.  Most people have many of these fears and many additional fears.

Understand, that this is a process.  We can pray away many fears, but the person will bring fear back into their soul.  The key to healing is to identify these fears that are brought back in and pray them out until these fears are minimized to a point of not affecting us anymore.  This could be total healing as well.

There is a wonderful scripture that promises eradication of fear that causes depression.  It is found in 1 John: there is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love. We love Him because He first loved us, 1 John 4:18-19.  We must embrace this scripture and use love to be healed from depression.  We must love ourselves as God loves us.

What does it mean to those who are standing in the gap for those with depression?  We are to love on them over and over without no condemnation.

Conclusion

Why do we continue to seek mankind instead of God?  Doctors, science, and mankind do not have healing solutions for depression.  We have a choice in what and who we believe.  Believe in mankind or believe and act on the promises of healing God provides in His Word.  Amen and Amen.                                                                             Tony Sanchez 9-30-23

 

ADHD

 The are three ranges of ADD: the lower range, the mid-range, and the high range.  The high range is hyperactivity.  We primarily deal with ADD in Children.  Dealing with ADD in adults is more difficult.  ADD comes out of a dumb and deaf spirit.  There are many classes of psychological diseases falling under the category of dumb and deaf.  Jesus cast out a dumb and deaf spirit from a person who could not speak, Mark 9:25   When Jesus saw that the people came running together, He rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, “Deaf and dumb spirit, I command you, come out of him and enter him no more!”  See Matthew 11:5, Mark 7:32, Mark 7:37, Luke 7:22.

There is still a lot to learn about ADD, that involves the spectrums from the lows to the mediums and the highs.  We have more experience in the hyperactive range than the lower range, though we have had some cases in the lower and medium ranges.

We understand Add to be a neurological interruption.  We also understand ADD is or can be familial or inherited.  It seems to run in the family trees. We have a very strong feeling it is tied to a dumb and deaf spirit putting a person in bondage.

Add, dyslexia and gender disorientation have something in common.  Don’t think, because I have merged dyslexia and ADD with gender disorientation, that anyone is at risk of becoming gender disoriented because they have ADD.  They do, however, have a common thread.  There is a double mindedness that comes and this is an inherited family curse.  A double minded man is unstable in all his ways. James 1:8 he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.

When you find ADD, you will also find it in the parents and grandparents.  You won’t find it in just one place.  You will find it right down the generational line.  It is the same with dyslexia.  It involves a type of double mindedness and confusion and the prime root of the confusion is gender disorientation because of an inversion of godly order in the home.  The home is ruled by matriarchal control rather than the patriarchal authority as God Intended, 1 Corinthians 11:3 But I want you to know that the head of every man is Christ, the head of woman is man, and the head of Christ is God.

That home is ruled by the female, not the male.  The confusion coming from that is producing ADD, dyslexia, and gender disorientation.  When the males do not rule the home in love, the female has not choice but to take the reins. In addition, when women are the matriarch of the family, the children, male and female take on the personality of the women.  This does not allow the males to be the patriarch of the family as God has designed.

The minute she does, Satan entire kingdom comes to help her.  She was never designed to rule the home; she was designed to follow a patriarch who is Godly.  I might add, I am not a chauvinist and I do not send females back into the oppressive rulership of ungodly males in the name of the Lord.  When the female is being oppressed, I call for immediate separation and resolution.

I will protect the children and female first before I will protect the male.  The male should be protecting the female and the children to begin with so I hold him to a higher level of responsibility.

The female and the children should follow the male as he follows Christ.  The head of the woman is to be the man and head of the man is Christ.  But the head of Christ is the Father and nobody quotes the rest of that Scripture.  It does not stop with Christ; it stops with the Father, 1 Corinthians 11:3

This brings the male back into the rulership, not just as the husband, but in a similar relationship Christ has with the Church as our Husband.  The husband is called to represent God as the father to his family just as if it were God Himself.  It’s a tough job, but it is the work God has called a man to do.

I also have observed various standpoints of rebellion as part of this profile.  Historic family rebellion exists in the families who have been involved in occultism and false religions.  Historically, it is an interrupter of the thoughts.  It interferes with self-esteem.  It involves much self-rejection, self-hatred, and guilt.  It often involves dyslexia and other various breakdowns of perception.  Many times, you will find color blindness, which is also inherited.  You can also have other peripheral problems coming with this family profile.

Many schools are dealing with disruptive children in the classroom and recommend the drug Ritalin.  Ritalin is a very dangerous drug. This drug is the shame of our school system in America because it is the lazy way out of a problem.  The problem is children who are on Ritalin is from a national organization’s research concerning children on Ritalin and it shows that 50 percent of them, at some point in their lifetime, ended up afoul of the law and in jails.  This directly related to the drug, not to ADD.  There is a psychotic value that come with Ritalin and it’s horrific.  It is a Pandora’s Box and yet it is currently the “drug of choice” for ADD.

In the hyper range of ADD, the child is fine if he or she is concentrating on an object of interest.  The nerve synapses and the flow of focusing are normal, but when the child is not motivated, the neurological flow is interrupted and there is activity called ranging, including free-floating thoughts and impulsive realties.  The child does whatever comes to mind.  Tony Sanchez 7-27-23

Allergies and the Immune System

Immune system definition – The immune system protects you from outside invaders.  These include germs such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi, toxins (chemicals bade by microbes).  The immune system is made up of different organs, cells, and proteins.  There are two parts of the immune system.

·         The innate immune system – You are born with it and it is a rapid response system.  It is the first to respond when it finds an invader.

·         The acquired immune system – This system with help from the innate system, makes special proteins (called antibodies) to protect your body from a specific invader.

Bone Marrow – Bone marrow is the spongy tissue in the hollow centers of a person’s long bones. It is the blood cell factory.  Healthy bone marrow releases blood cells into the bloodstream when they are mature and when required.  Without bone marrow, our bodies could not produce the white T cells we need to fight infection, the red blood cells we need to carry oxygen, and the platelets we need to stop bleeding. 

God in His word has much to day about bones and how it affects our health good and bad.

Job 21:24-25 His pails are full of milk, And the marrow of his bones is moist. Another man dies in the bitterness of his soul, never having eaten with pleasure.  Verse 24 says his bones are moist.  Meaning that healthy morrow in the bones is producing white T cells to fight off infection.  Verse 25 tells us that bitterness of others and self weakens the bones (marrow) which produces white T cells resulting in immune diseases.

The four scriptures below describe inflammation of the bones caused by an infection, which may spread to the bone marrow and tissues near the bone.  Osteomyelitis can cause severe pain in the infected bone.  If not treated, it can kill bone tissue affecting our immune system.

·         Job 30:17 My bones are pierced in me at night, and my gnawing pains take no rest.

·         Job 30:30 My skin grows black and falls from me; my bones burn with fever. 

·         Job 33:19 “Man is also chastened with pain on his bed, and with strong pain in many of his bones. 

·         Psalms 6:2 Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am weak; O Lord, heal me, for my bones are troubled.

Psalms 38:3-4 There is no soundness in my flesh because of Your anger, nor any health in my bones because of my sin.  For my iniquities have gone over my head; Like a heavy burden they are too heavy for me.  As with any sickness and disease, the root cause is from sin (Deuteronomy 28:15-68).

Proverbs 3:7-8 Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the Lord and depart from evil. It will be health to your flesh, And strength to your bones.  Evil is sin.  Sin will compromise your immune system.

Proverbs 12:4 An excellent wife is the crown of her husband, but she who causes shame is like rottenness in his bones.  The women who cultivates her relationship with God first, then relates appropriately to her husband, will powerfully influence him in every area of his life.  Bringing shame is a painful feeling of humiliation or destress caused by the consciousness of wrong or foolish behavior.  This behavior can cause distress, anger, anger, bitterness, and un-forgiveness.  Bitterness contributes to the weakening the immune system.

Proverbs 14:30 A sound heart is life to the body, but envy is rottenness to the bones.  A tranquil mind brings good physical health.  Envy brings jealousy, anger, and bitterness.  Again, it weakens the immune system.

Proverbs 15:30 The light of the eyes rejoices the heart, and a good report makes the bones healthy.  A bad report is being mean, argumentative, provoking arguments, and being contentious.

Proverbs 16:24 Pleasant words are like a honeycomb, sweetness to the soul and health to the bones.  Pleasant words keep your immune system healthy.  Harsh words at self and others weaken the immune system.

Proverbs 17:22 A merry heart does good, like medicine, but a broken spirit dries the bones.  A broken spirit is tied to feeling unloved, unworthy, depression and (hopelessness and despair), and sadness.  Motivation to exist has been broken at one level or another. They will feel lonely, exhausted, and lethargic.  Most important is the immune system is compromised.

Isaiah 58:11 The Lord will guide you continually, and satisfy your soul in drought, and strengthen your bones; You shall be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail.  God’s promise to leads us and helps us when our soul is hurting.  One must submit to God to which will build up or immune system.

Fight or Flight

During times of stress, your body can release Cortisol after releasing its “fight or flight” hormones, such as adrenaline, so you continue to stay on high alert.  Too much Cortisol can cause excessive Cortisol that is harmful to your immune system.

Fear As A Spiritual Root

Have you ever been fearful or have you ever seen a fearful person?  They are dressed up in fear.  It has become an actual part of the personality.  They have become one with fear. Fear is not from God, For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind 2 Timothy 1:7.  Fear comes from Satan.

Fear is not just a psychological manifestation; it is an evil spirt that is plotting against us.  Fear is a spirit that comes from Satan’s hidden kingdom.  God is the One who calls it a spirit of fear.  We would be wise not disagree with God.  While faith is greater than fear, they are equal in these two ways: they both project into the future, and they both demand to be fulfilled. 

Science recognizes some of the results of fear.  Most medical professionals agree that having a fearful outlook on life will cause your health to be affected negatively.  Many people do not want to hear this, but Henry Wright believes all allergies are caused by the spirit of fear.  Allergies are a product or a result of who you are deep within and how you relate to God, yourself, and others, rather than how your body responds to the natural environment around you.

Fear, anxiety, and stress comes predominantly from relationship breakdowns.  The primary cause of allergies is not feeling safe, having fear and anxiety in love and relationships.  Cortisol does not destroy the immune system because of nutrition.  Cortisol destroys the immune system because of fear.

Let us talk about Cortisol because over secretion of Cortisol plays a big part in our immune system.  Cortisol is a naturally occurring steroid released by the adrenal glands.  Cortisol is important in flight or flight but, if it is present on a long-term basis, it destroys your immune system.  According to medical information, long-term over-secretions of cortisol has direct physiological effect on the following functions: Carbohydrate and lipid metabolism, protein metabolism, inflammatory effects, digestive function, urinary function, connective tissue function, muscle function, bone function, vascular system, and central nervous system function.

Now begins the destruction of the immune system.  According to the medical community it is fear, anxiety, and stress. Fear produces a broken spirit according to Proverbs 17:22 A merry heart does good, like medicine, but a broken spirit dries the bones. The over secretion of Cortisol continues immunosuppression (suppression of the immune response).  When you have the breaking down of the immune system, an interesting thing happens with the B cells.  When you have a reduction of B cells at this level, antigen-antibody relationships develop.  Your body start attacking everything.  That is what an allergy is.  The antigen becomes the enemy, but the antigen is the food you need.  Now the body is eliminating what it needs in order to stay alive.

You may be shocked to learn you may not be allergic to anything.  You are experiencing the biological phenomena of fear and the consequences of Cortisol release.  You are experiencing a biological manifestation that results in a compromised immune system.

The immune system is the part of your body God created to identify organisms that are dangerous to you and to destroy them.  God has created several different types of white corpuscles to be fully formed, ready for action and ready for war.  I want to focus on the white corpuscles called the T cells and the B cells.  If you have a healthy immune system, nothing foreign can stand in their path.  However, there are various things that can interfere with your immune system, keeping it form serving you.  Excessive Cortisol is one of them.

Here is what happens when things go wrong.  As the immune system is compromised by the Cortisol drip.  As the immune system is compromised by the Cortisol drip, the T Cells that help to guide the work of the immune system are destroyed by the Cortisol. At the same time the B cells activity increases and become excessive.  Every cell in your body, healthy cells, and invader cells, including viruses, bacteria, and caner, has an identifying marker called an antigen flag.  When things function as God created them, the antibodies recognize the antigen flag and attack and destroy the unhealthy invaders.

Unfortunately, whey your immune system is malfunctioning, this system has a breakdown.  The B cells mistakenly create antibodies that attack the antigen markers of natural substances that are not invaders.  Instead of attacking viruses and bacteria, they will attack grass, pollen, dust, animal fur, perfumes, and certain foods.  Your body reacts with an overproduction of histamine, which produces various “allergic” reactions, such as itchy eyes, runny nose, sinus headaches, and rashes.  One can take an antihistamine to bring you some relief from the symptoms, but it does not make the problem go away.  It just treats the symptoms. 

To the degree that your T cell activity decreases, B cell activity increases.  That is why the more your immune system is compromised, the more complicated your allergies become, from simple to medium to complex.  If your immune system is normal, B cells activity is regulated and allergies cease to exist.  You can be around anything and be able to eat anything you want and never react.  Therefore, an allergy is the result of fear, anxiety, and stress, which causes excessive B cell activity from T cell death coming out of long-term Cortisol drip.

What Is The Secret To Defeating Allergies

The number of allergies or sicknesses and diseases you have indicates how much your immune system has been compromised.  The secret to defeating allergies/sickness/disease is recognizing and identifying the fear that is causing the excessive release of Cortisol.  Fear of not being loved by parents especially the father, fear of not feeling worthy, fear of rejection, fear of abandonment, fear of being offended, fear of not being accepted, fear of being judged, etc.  Mend the broken relationships in your life that have caused you fear.  Forgive the persons, government, organizations, and churches whom may have led to offenses, distrust, and fear of relationships committed against you.  Most of all, forgive yourself for beating yourself to a pulp. You are worthy to be loved because God loves you.  Submit to God, not mankind.        Tony Sanchez 7-19-23
