Depart from evil.

Depart from evil.

“Fools because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities, are afflicted.”
Psalm 107:17

Another important principle for you to be mindful of if you are going to maintain a life of health is for you to avoid sin and walk in the fear of God.

Proverbs 3:7-8 says, “Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil. It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.”

Proverbs 19:23 says, “The fear of the LORD tendeth to life: and he that hath it shall abide satisfied; he shall not be visited with evil.” Sickness is evil, but when you walk in the fear of the Lord, you will not be visited with any form of evil.

Living in sin will break the hedge around you and make you vulnerable to satanic attacks. This is because you cannot be living in sin and be walking in righteousness at the same time, according to the Bible in Ephesians 6:14; righteousness is your breastplate. Secondly, you cannot be living in sin and be walking by faith at the same time, according to the Bible in Ephesians 6:16; faith is your shield without which you would not be able to quench the fiery darts of the wicked. Therefore, when your breastplate is not in place and your shield is not in place, you are unprotected and vulnerable to attacks. So, I encourage you to depart from all evil.
