The vast majority of people say they are not bitter at
anyone, self, or an organization. Let’s

Can you more easily identify with bitterness now? Perhaps we all must rethink what we know about
bitterness and how it is affecting our health?
Bitterness will destroy your soft tissue. Science says: Cortisol, a stress (fight or
flight) hormone, can negatively affect soft tissues by breaking down protein,
leading to muscle weakness and atrophy, hindering wound healing, and
potentially contributing to decreased collagen production, which impacts skin
elasticity and tissue repair; essentially, high cortisol levels can weaken and
deteriorate soft tissues in the body.
This can include destruction of:
· White
T cells (bone marrow) that fight off immune sickness and diseases, Proverbs
17:22 says, "A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries
up the bones"
· Myelin
that surrounds the nerve fiber and the nerve itself
· Inner
ear that results in Tinnitus and hearing loss
· Brain
cell destruction
· Liver,
kidney, pancreas, heart, pancreas, uterus, appendix, spleen, gallbladder, intestines,
lymph nodes, lungs, spleen, stomach, bone marrow, veins, pancreas, and Urinary
bladder
"Dries up the bones" is not meant to be taken
literally, but rather represents a state of depletion and weakness caused by
prolonged negative emotions, Proverbs 14:30 A sound heart is life to the
body, but envy is rottenness to the bones.
Envy leads to jealousy and anger, and ultimately bitterness. We are responders of our thought. In other
words, your health is dependent how you think good or evil.
Negative declarations – What is coming out of mouth directed
at people, self, and organization? Is it
a blessing or a curse? In Genesis 1:3
“God said, let there be light” God spoke light into existence. In the same manner we can speak into
existence curses onto ourselves and others.
James 3:10 Out of the same mouth proceed blessing and cursing. My
brethren, these things ought not to be so.
I can’t tell you how many people beat up on their selves at a high
level through negative declarations. It
greatly affects their health.
Bitterness has many things tied to it that lead to physical
and mental illnesses. Primarily, is the
unloving spirit which is causes rejection, abandonment, not feeling loved or
worthy to be loved, anger, hatred, hurts, unforgiveness, and finally
bitterness. All of these cause sickness
and disease.
As I said numerous times over the years, every health issue,
physically and emotionally has a root cause and the Bible says it is
disobedience (Sin) Deuteronomy 28 15-68.
Science identifies the symptoms, doctors treat the symptoms, we and the church
pray for the symptoms. Yet we remain sick and diseased because we refuse to
find the spiritual causes and pray effectively (James 5:16) against the causes
that lead to the symptoms.
There is a mind-body connection directly tied to sickness
and disease caused by spiritual wickedness (sin) working in us and from others.
The Body of Jesus Christ is suffering and we are in captivity. When is the church going to wake up and start
teaching the causes of sickness and disease and praying for the flock? T. Sanchez 3/25
Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you
have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being priest for Me;
Because you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your
children.
Isiah 5:13 Isaiah 5:13 Therefore my people are
gone into captivity, because they have no knowledge
