Psychosoma.

Psychosoma.

“Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.”
3 John 2

The way you think; that is your thoughts will affect your health. In science it is called psychosoma. Psyche referring to the soul or mind and soma referring to the body. Therefore, psychosoma is referring to the influence of the mind on the body. So your current way of thinking (mental condition) is affecting your body (your health).

Unhealthy mental conditions such as stress and anxiety can affect your health and your body leading to stomach ulcers, high blood pressure and heart diseases. These physical illnesses are psychosomatic disorders and you can deal with them from the root by practicing what the Word of God says in Philippians 4:6(ALT), “Stop being anxious about anything, …”

As you stop the anxiety, your health will improve. Practice the act of meditating on the Word of God. It has been proven that meditation which is a mental activity will lower your blood pressure. Meditation will also reduce the possibility of having heart attacks, strokes and deaths from all causes.

People who habitually meditate are never going to suffer from high blood pressure. They are less likely to be affected by stress and anger. Therefore meditating on the Word of God habitually will help keep you healthy.

Instruction.

Do not worry.

Saturday, November 12th.
Do not worry.

“Don't fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns. Before you know it, a sense of God's wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It's wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life. Summing it all up, friends, I'd say you'll do best by filling your minds and meditating on things true, noble, reputable, authentic, compelling, gracious--the best, not the worst; the beautiful, not the ugly; things to praise, not things to curse.”
Philippians 4:6-8(MSG)

Do you know that there are people who took drugs till they died and still did not get any better? It is because the real cause of their sickness was not dealt with. This is because for the most part, what doctors treat are symptoms they do not treat the root causes. Most of the root causes of sickness are not physical so drugs can not deal with them.

For instance, worry is one of the root causes of some sicknesses. There are people who get tooth decay from worry. Worry can eat your teeth. Some people have holes in their teeth, not from sugar but from worry. Worry can also cause ulcers. Proverbs 12:25(MSG) says, “Worry weighs us down; a cheerful word picks us up.”

Tolerating worry and anxiety in your life will open you up to the devil. Instead do what the Bible say in 1 Peter 5:7-8(AMP) and you will shut the door to all demonic attacks, “Casting the whole of your care [all your anxieties, all your worries, all your concerns, once and for all] on Him, for He cares for you affectionately and cares about you watchfully. Be well balanced (temperate, sober of mind), be vigilant and cautious at all times; for that enemy of yours, the devil, roams around like a lion roaring [in fierce hunger], seeking someone to seize upon and devour.”

Instruction.
Based on what you have learnt today, if there is anything that you have been really worried about, talk to Your loving Father about it today once and for all and stop the worry.

For further study, read:
Matthew 6:25-34, Hebrews 13:5-6, Proverbs 15:13.

Doing the Word.
Choose to be happy, thankful and praiseful instead of worrying.

Your spiritual condition.

Friday, November 11th.
Your spiritual condition.

“The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity; but a wounded spirit who can bear?”
Proverbs 18:14

Sickness is a manifestation of the effects of a dysfunctional soul or spirit. Your spiritual condition will affect your body. So if you take care of your spirit, you will be in health. The reason why some people easily fall sick is because of their spiritual condition.

Proverbs 15:13 says, “A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance: but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken.” Depression is a spiritual condition and it can lead to sickness. This is why there are some people who get healed after been prayed for but because they fall back into depression again, it leads to sickness again. Sorrow of the heart will rob you of your health.

Proverbs 18:14(AMP) says, “The strong spirit of a man sustains him in bodily pain or trouble, but a weak and broken spirit who can raise up or bear?” Do you know that there is a relationship between cancerous growth and bitterness? Holding unforgiveness and bitterness in your heart can open you up to cancer. That is the root that has defiled the spiritual condition of many and has made them susceptible to all kinds of sicknesses and afflictions of the devil.

Therefore I encourage you to keep your heart free from depression, unforgiveness and bitterness, but fill your heart with the Word of God.

Prayer.
Dear Father, in obedience to your Word, I let go of all bitterness and unforgiveness held against all who have wronged me, I choose to respond in love towards them according to the love of Christ that has been shed abroad in my heart by the Holy Spirit, in Jesus Name. Amen.

Proverbs 12:25, Proverbs 17:22, 2 Corinthians 7:10.

Doing the Word.
Keep your heart in the love of God.

Immorality can cause sickness.

Thursday,  November 10th.
Immorality can cause sickness.

“Because they exchanged the truth of God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, Who is blessed forever! Amen (so be it). For this reason God gave them over and abandoned them to vile affections and degrading passions. For their women exchanged their natural function for an unnatural and abnormal one, And the men also turned from natural relations with women and were set ablaze (burning out, consumed) with lust for one another--men committing shameful acts with men and suffering in their own bodies and personalities the inevitable consequences and penalty of their wrong-doing and going astray, which was [their] fitting retribution.”
Romans 1:25-27(AMP)

Sickness is the law of sin at work in the human body. Sickness is the effect of sin manifested in the human body. You will notice in our opening scripture that because of the sins men committed, they suffered in their bodies the consequences and penalties of their wrong doing.

When you do your research on HIV, you will discover that HIV was first found among homosexuals.


So HIV came in as a result of sin and a judgment for sexual perversion. For instance, there is a rise right now in America of HIV amongst black women, this concern caused a research to be carried out which revealed that most of those women were having relations with men that have been involved in homosexual relationships. So they contracted HIV from those men.

Sin; especially sexual sins and perversion produces negative consequences. Therefore, I encourage you to keep yourself pure and free from these diseases.

Prayer.
Dear Father, I ask that you cause your love to abound in my heart more and more in knowledge and in all judgment; that I may approve things that are excellent; so that I may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ, in Jesus Name. Amen.

Dear Father, I ask that you cause your love to abound in my heart more and more in knowledge and in all judgment; that I may approve things that are excellent; so that I may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ, in Jesus Name. Amen.

Doing the Word.
Repent and turn away from all immoral acts.

Sin can cause sickness.

Sin can cause sickness.

“Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee.”
John 5:14

One of the causes of sickness is sin. Judging from the beginning, before Adam sinned there was no sickness. So sin brought in sickness. This is why in our opening scripture, Jesus admonishes the man that had been healed to sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto him. Why? Sin opens the door to sickness.

In Deuteronomy 28 from verse 15, we see that when people do not obey God's commandments there are certain curses that will come upon them. These curses come on them because they sinned by not obeying the Lord's commands. I want us to look at some of these curses that sin brings in Deuteronomy 28:22, “The LORD shall smite thee with a consumption, (tuberculosis) and with a fever, and with an inflammation, (swellings, growth) and with an extreme burning, (internal heat) …” (Emphasis added in bracket is mine.)

There are more sicknesses that sin can open you to found in Deuteronomy 28:27-28, “The LORD will smite thee with the botch (boils) of Egypt, and with the emerods, (tumors) and with the scab, (scurvy) and with the itch, whereof thou canst not be healed. The LORD shall smite thee with madness, and blindness, and astonishment of heart:” (Emphasis added in bracket is mine.)

Therefore I encourage you to sin no more if you want to live in health. The remedy for sin is in  Christ Jesus. So, if you are not born again, or you are a backslider, I encourage you to pray the prayer of salvation below:

Prayer of Salvation.
“O God, I believe in Jesus Christ. I believe He is the Son of God. I believe with all my heart that Jesus Christ died for my sins. I believe that You raised Jesus Christ from the dead on the third day for my justification. With my mouth I confess that Jesus Christ is my Lord, I take Him as my personal Saviour. By my faith in the blood of Jesus, I believe I receive the washing away of all my sins. By my faith in the Name of Jesus, I believe I receive eternal life into my spirit. Jesus, come into my heart, make me a new person from this day forward. Amen.”

Psalm 119:67, Hosea 6:1, John 5:1-14.

Doing the Word.
Choose to turn away from all wrong doings.

How to minister to the sick?

How to minister to the sick?

“But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you. Or else how can one enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man? and then he will spoil his house.”
Matthew 12:28-29

When someone is sick and oppressed, the devil is reigning over that person, whether in the leg, eyes, wherever there is an affliction, it is not an expression of the kingdom of God. That is why I hate sickness because I know its origin.

The strong man in the context of our opening scripture is satan. His goods are those under satan's authority. This is why when you want to minister to the sick, the first thing for you to do is to break satan's power over the person; For instance you will hear me say, “Satan I break your power over this person.” This is because all demons get their authority from satan. Then you have to address the devil causing the sickness and cast it out. For instance, you could hear me say, “Thou devil of infirmity in the Name of Jesus, come out of him.” This is what you have done; firstly, you have  cut off its link with its head by dealing with satan first. Then you have also dealt with the spirit or devil of infirmity by casting it out. It has to obey you because the authority of satan (his head) has been broken over that person.

It is after you have completely dealt with the spiritual condition, you can now declare healing over the person by saying, “In the Name of Jesus, be healed in your body.” It is important you do this because when the devil leaves, there could be a part of the body of the person that may have been destroyed by that oppression of the devil (sickness). So when you say for instance, “Be healed in your kidneys or in your heart.” At that point you are restoring health and wholeness to that person's body. Because to heal is to restore to normalcy what was destroyed. Therefore, whenever you want to pray for the sick, take note of these things.

Prayer.
Dear Father, I thank you for empowering me by Your Spirit to bring deliverance and healing to the hurting within my sphere of contact, in Jesus Name. Amen.

For further study, read:
Luke 4:18-19, Luke 9:1-2, Luke 10:1-9.

Doing the Word.
Do not be afraid to pray for the sick. With confidence do as you have learnt today.

Cast out the devil.

Monday,  November 7th
Cast out the devil.

“And he was casting out a devil, and it was dumb. And it came to pass, when the devil was gone out, the dumb spake; and the people wondered.”
Luke 11:14

Our opening scripture shows us that there is a dumb and deaf devil. These are the devils responsible for dumbness and deafness. That is why whenever I am ministering to people with such conditions you will hear me say, “You devils of dumbness and deafness come out” and immediately their speech and hearing is restored.

It is this understanding that produces faith which in turn produces the results. Understand that according to the Word of God all devils are your subject so when you command them in the Name of Jesus, expect them to obey you and leave even as they obeyed Jesus.

“And again, departing from the coasts of Tyre and Sidon, he came unto the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the coasts of Decapolis. And they bring unto him one that was deaf, and had an impediment in his speech; and they beseech him to put his hand upon him. And he took him aside from the multitude, and put his fingers into his ears, and he  spit, and touched his tongue; And looking up to heaven, he sighed, and saith unto him, Ephphatha, that is, Be opened. And straightway his ears were opened, and the string of his tongue was loosed, and he spake plain. And he charged them that they should tell no man: but the more he charged them, so much the more a great deal they published it;  And were beyond measure astonished, saying, He hath done all things well: he maketh both the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak.”  Mark 7:31-37.

Instruction.
Use the Name of Jesus and deal with anything that looks like an oppression of the devil around you today.

For further study, read:
Mark 16:17, Luke 10:17, Acts 16:16-18.

Doing the Word.
As you cast out devils in Jesus Name, expect them to obey you as they obeyed Jesus.
