Mind-Body Connection

 

I put this chart together in 2017 to show the effects of sin that leads to sickness and disease.  We must consider how much sin affects our body, soul, and our spirit.  A key point to consider with the chart is how many of these have caused deep physical, emotional, or spiritual pain, hardship, and oppression that have affected you physical, emotional, and your spiritual health?  

Our body is a responder to who we are in thought.  It is referred to as the mind-body connection.  It affects our health physically, mentally and spiritual well-being. Sinful thoughts and actions will produce sickness and disease.

Thoughts come from three places

1. Our thoughts

 2. Thoughts from God

3. Thoughts from Satan

Most of our thoughts come from ourselves and Satan.  Most of us don’t hear from God as much because God is not the center of our mind, body, and soul.  Compare your time with the world and time with God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, and His Word. 

We Need the Helper

God sent us a Helper when Jesus went to be with His Father. John 14:16, 26 And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever— But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.  We need the Helper to show us what we do not know, Luke 23:34 Then Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do.”  Are we calling on the Holy Spirit throughout the day to spiritually navigate this world with divine guidance so we can live a faithful and healthy life? 

We will continue to be sick and diseased until we understand that effective prayer can and will heal us if we make ourselves available for prayer.  Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much James 5:16. Is this scripture an option for us to ignore? Why are we not praying for each other so that we can be healed.  The Bible promises healing for all……..IF we pray to cast out evil spirits causing sickness and disease.  I don’t understand why the body of Jesus Christ are afraid of demon spirits or the mention of demons whose sole purpose is to kill us. Shouldn’t we mirror Jesus who cast out many demons and healed many people.  Nothing has changed in the here and now. We have power and authority to do what Jesus did in His ministry.

Tidbit – There is always one primary disease or syndrome; the rest are peripheral.  You will never defeat a secondary illness if you don’t defeat the primary illness that spawns the others. Example: When an unloving spirit enters a person, it will eventually produce rejection, anger, resentment, bitterness, hatred, unforgiveness, and can lead to addictions.  Addictions are an attempt to fill the unloving void in a person.  Unloving is primary evil spirit and the rest are peripheral evil spirts that need to be prayed out as well.

In ministry, we ask many questions to determine the primary and peripheral riders so we can pray effectively to deliver them from bondage.  We cannot be healed if we only pray for one out of the many that need to be prayed away.     

Folks, these are things we need to hear!  We’re so busy chasing symptoms, we are so busy chasing disease profiles, that we don’t even take into account why we got sick to begin with or how we can get better.  Science and doctors don’t have the foggiest idea.                    TS 8-26-26
