Introduction & Invitation
00:00:02
Speaker
Hello everybody! How are you today? You're most welcome to Joshua Generation Sunday! um a very warm welcome to those of you who who are here while this is playing in real time and of course to those of you who are watching this retroactively.
00:00:20

I would love if you would please consider liking this video, subscribing to the channel and ringing that notification bell so that whenever new videos are uploaded you get a announcement and please share it far and wide as well.
Channel's Purpose & Spiritual Mission
00:00:38
Speaker
I believe that this channel is 100% a God thing. God actually told me to start this many years ago and I waited. i held off until like a pastor friend at the time suggested that I do it. So I was waiting on Holy Spirit confirmation.
00:00:54
Speaker
and a lot of good spiritual seeds get scattered and deposited on this channel, and I believe that it has the power to set a lot of people free. And today's video is absolutely no exception.
Physical Ailments & Spiritual Roots
00:01:10
Speaker
A couple weeks ago we looked at the differences between the soul and the spirit. Last week we looked at soul wounds, how the soul gets wounded, it gets hurt um by attack, by your own sin, a and through trauma.
00:01:29
Speaker
Today, in the words of ah my girl, Olivia Newton-John, let's get physical, physical. Oh yeah, let's get physical. Let me hear your body talk. Yeah, today we're gonna go for physical ailments. The correlation between issues of the soul and issues of the body. And we're gonna look at the spiritual roots of disease.
00:02:00
Speaker
This teaching is very heavily inspired by, and in some cases, when gets to the medical jargon, I'm just gonna quote them directly. It's based on the book of the same name, Exposing Spirit's Roots Disease by Dr. Henry W. Wright.
Obedience, Blessings, and Curses
00:02:18
Speaker
So the Lord's desire is that we would live under an open heaven and live a life full of blessings. Deuteronomy 28, 1 to 14 talks about what the life of God's people should look like. Now, yes, this is true for ancient Israel, but I see no reason why we, the body of Christ, cannot aspire for these in our lives as well.
00:02:47
Speaker
If you fully obey the Lord your God and carefully follow all his commands I give you today, the Lord your God will set you high above all the nations on earth. All these blessings will come to you and accompany you if you obey the Lord your God.
00:03:04
Speaker
You'll be blessed in the city and blessed in the country. The fruit of your womb will be blessed and the crops of your land and the cattle of your livestock, the calves of your herds and the lambs of your plots.
00:03:16
Speaker
Your baskets and your needing trough will be blessed. You'll be blessed when you come in and blessed when you go out. The Lord will grant that the enemies who rise up against you will be defeated before you.
00:03:30
Speaker
They will come at you from one direction, but flee from you and seven. The Lord will send a blessing on your barns and on everything you put your hand to The Lord, your God, will bless you in the land he's given you.
00:03:44
Speaker
The Lord will establish you as his holy people. As he promised you, i know. If you keep the commands of the Lord, your God, and walk in obedience to him. Then all the peoples on earth will see that you are cold with the name of the Lord, and they will fear you.
00:04:01
Speaker
The Lord will grant you abundant prosperity in the fruits of your womb, the young of your livestock, and the crops of your ground, in the land he swore to your ancestors to give you.
00:04:14
Speaker
The Lord will open the heavens, the storehouse of his bounty, to send rain on your land in season and to bless all the work of your hands. And you will lend to many nations, but will borrow from none.
00:04:28
Speaker
The Lord will make you the head and not the tail. If you pay attention to the c commands of the Lord your God, I give you this day and carefully follow them. keep on noticing the obedience theme here, yeah?
00:04:42
Speaker
You'll always be at the top and never at the bottom. Do not turn aside from any of the commands I give you today, to the right or to the left, following other gods, demons, and serving them.
00:04:56
Speaker
That is the life God wants us to live. Sadly, that is not the life that most people do. Why not? Well, verse 15 says, However, if you do not obey the Lord, your God,
00:05:12
Speaker
and do not carefully follow all his commands and all the decrees that I'm giving you today. All these curses will come on you overtake you. and then it goes into a good long list of them.
00:05:31
Speaker
But what is a curse? When I was growing up, reading the Bible, and I mentioned curses, I genuinely thought it was like an oath to someone saying the F word or something.
00:05:43
Speaker
But no, the word curses in Hebrew means a spoken malediction that places a person under disfavor. An imprecation to invoke evil, misfortune or punishment.
00:06:00
Speaker
Abatement to lessen and reduce the number of blessings you have and the quality of your life. And the other meaning of curse is vilification.
00:06:15
Speaker
What is vilification? Well, it's related to the word villain. Who is the big villain of the Bible? The devil and all the demons under him.
00:06:27
Speaker
John 10, 10 described the devil and the demon world most succinctly. The thief comes to steal, kill and destroy. Now in the Greek,
00:06:39
Speaker
The words steal, kill, and destroy are more elastic. They encompass more specific attacks and strategy. The thief comes to steal secretively and with stealth.
00:06:54
Speaker
To sacrificially offer you on an altar by burning you alive. And even when you're dead. To butcher you completely. To cut you off entirely.
00:07:06
Speaker
To violently perish you. To cause you to be lost by experiencing a miserable end. To abolish you, to ruin you. To blot you out of the Lamb of God's book of life.
00:07:20
Speaker
If your name's not in it, you're going to go to hell. To vanish you away and to cause the loss of everlasting life. That is the enemy that we have.
00:07:33
Speaker
That is the enemy who curses us.
00:07:41
Speaker
Now praise be to Jesus. Galatians 3, 13 talks about the cross. When Jesus hung there, he took all of your emotional and mental agony and physical.
00:07:55
Speaker
He took all of your sins, your trespasses, your physical sins, your iniquities, your inner sins. He took all of our sicknesses and infirmities and diseases, all of our pain.
00:08:11
Speaker
But Galatians 3.13 says something you don't really find anywhere else. Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us. Every single curse, every single punishment, every penalty that Deuteronomy 28 goes on to say, Jesus was afflicted with them on our behalf.
00:08:34
Speaker
He became that curse incarnate. Sin incarnate, every human sin was on him. The curse incarnate, every single affliction was on him for the penalty of all those sins, sicknesses, diseases, and agonies.
00:08:52
Speaker
Now Jesus broke every curse on the cross positionally, but we have to appropriate that victory. Think of it this way.
00:09:04
Speaker
There is absolutely no point in you having your hair swinging down your backside complaining, my hair's too long. ah Someone says, go to a barber's, go to a hairdresser's.
00:09:19
Speaker
And you say, well, I know that they exist.
00:09:24
Speaker
And you do nothing. Knowing something is insufficient. It's what you do with that knowledge. You actually have to appropriate that knowledge.
00:09:37
Speaker
You actually have to go to the barbers get your hair cut. It's the very same the cross. Yes, all these issues were dealt with at the cross, but you still have to pray in the finished work of the cross in order to live in the reality of the finished work of the cross.
00:09:59
Speaker
Knowing is not enough.
Condemnation vs. Conviction
00:10:01
Speaker
Nodding your head at the right time is not enough. Saying hallelujah when someone tells you to is not enough. You actually have to believe it. Pray it in. Walk in it.
00:10:14
Speaker
Now Romans 8.1 says that there is no just when you get to heaven there is no no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.
00:10:28
Speaker
If you're a child of God's Heaven is not wagging the finger at you, condemning you, saying that you're a disgusting person, you'd be better off in hell, God doesn't want to, he loves you.
00:10:40
Speaker
This teaching, I'm going to shoot straight. going to say some things that might make you feel a bit uncomfortable, especially if I start talking about things directly related to your life.
00:10:53
Speaker
But it's not to condemn you, it's not to shame you. I don't say shame on you, I say shame off you. I do want to convict you. What's the difference?
00:11:04
Speaker
To condemn you is to put shame on you, to beat you down. To convict you is to say, listen, you got some open doors. You got some areas that need tweaking, that need working.
00:11:17
Speaker
And it's all very fixable. Look at the situation as it is. See your faults and your failures and deal with them. Let's start shutting those doors.
00:11:29
Speaker
Okay. So nothing I say today is designed to condemn God's kids. But if I say something and you start to feel a godly sorrow, that's okay. That's healthy.
00:11:43
Speaker
That leads to repentance. That leads to 180 degree life change. That's good.
00:11:51
Speaker
We're all on a journey. 2 Corinthians 3.18 says, and we all, all God's kids, by the way, not every human, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord's glory. Don't hide from him.
00:12:07
Speaker
Don't run away from him. Don't cover up. Come boldly before the throne of grace in help. In times of need for help. All God's kids are being transformed.
00:12:22
Speaker
Our being is happening now. When you read this verse in one month's time, it's still happening. When you read this verse in seven years, it's still happening. Again and again and again and again. again We all are being transformed into his image with ever increasing glory, which comes in the Lord, who is the Spirit.
00:12:46
Speaker
So Holy Spirit in you is changing you constantly, day by day. Pointing
Sanctification Process & Spiritual Growth
00:12:53
Speaker
things out, you need to start. Pointing things out, you need to stop.
00:12:58
Speaker
Challenging you. Provoking God ideas.
00:13:05
Speaker
Shining a light on ungodly ideas.
00:13:11
Speaker
We're all on that journey, but I want you to speed up the journey and not to go backwards or slow it down.
00:13:20
Speaker
1 Thessalonians 5.23 says, May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you. Some verses say holy, with a W. W-H-O-L-Y.
00:13:32
Speaker
Some say through and through. In the Greek, it's translated completely and entirely. 100%. one hundred orent He wants you sanctified.
00:13:44
Speaker
Salvation is when you first believe that Jesus died for all your sins and now he's the Lord. Your dead spirit comes alive. Holy Spirit moves in.
00:13:56
Speaker
Sanctification happens every day until you die. Every day until the second you die. That's the journey you go on with the Lord through life when he makes your soul more and more like him.
00:14:10
Speaker
May your whole spirit, already great, soul, a work in progress, and your body, which will ultimately be restored in the day rapture, be kept blameless and faultless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, which is the rapture.
00:14:30
Speaker
How can your body and your soul be kept blameless? By being obedient to God? By conforming to Christ in every way that includes internally, in your mind, in your heart, in your will.
00:14:43
Speaker
And there, the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Be excited about the rapture. Be excited at the prospect of Jesus returning to clouds someday and resurrecting your body.
00:14:56
Speaker
Glorifying your body. Giving you a supernatural, a supernaturally able body like he has. You know when Jesus came back from the dead, he was able to fly.
00:15:08
Speaker
When Jesus came back from the dead, he could teleport. When Jesus came back from the dead, he was intangible. He could move through solid objects, walk through walls. and Your resurrected body will be like that.
00:15:20
Speaker
How amazing is that? You're supposed to be excited the rapture. Not afraid of the end times, not afraid of the Antichrist. You're supposed to be excited at the prospect of Jesus making you 100% spirit, soul, and body.
00:15:39
Speaker
However, there's a funny, petty little thing called temptation. And that upsets the sanctification process.
00:15:53
Speaker
The super special, awesome, amazing apostle Paul He was a murderer named Saul. Jesus appeared to him, saved him, turned his life around, and he wrote one third of the New Testament.
00:16:10
Speaker
He is the one who had the revelation of the body of Christ, that God would put the pause button saving Israel, first and foremost, and instead turn his attention to the Gentile nation, the rest of us.
00:16:26
Speaker
um try his best to save as many of us as possible before the rapture, and ideally make Israel jealous for Jesus as well. Sometimes we do a better job than other times.
Internal Conflict: Spirit vs. Flesh
00:16:40
Speaker
But as phenomenal as Paul was, even he understood just how difficult it was to walk in a sanctified holy life.
00:16:53
Speaker
Isn't this the human condition? Romans 7, 19-23 For I do not do the good I want to do. But the evil I don't want to do, I keep on doing. Hello.
00:17:07
Speaker
Now if I do what I don't want to do, it's no longer I who do it, but it's sin living in me that does it. Where is the sin alive? In your soul.
00:17:20
Speaker
Sometimes even in your body.
00:17:24
Speaker
So I find this law at work. Although I want to do good, evil is right there with me. For in my inner being, I delight in God's law, in my spirit.
00:17:38
Speaker
But I see another law at work in me, waging war against the law of my mind, your soul, and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within me.
00:17:50
Speaker
The tussle, the tension, between your spirit wanting everything God has to give and wanting to walk and step with him and be totally obedient.
00:18:02
Speaker
And in the craving, the urges and the surges of the dark flesh, of the soul, of the soul which is still inherently selfish and depraved, envious, bitter, holding on to unforgiveness.
00:18:23
Speaker
Why did the enemy send temptation? Because he hopes it will give into it. Proverbs 26.2 says, like a fluttering sparrow or a darting swallow, an undeserved curse will not land on its intended victim.
00:18:41
Speaker
This is another way of saying a curse without a cause cannot land. So what is the enemy looking for? a landing strip, a landing pad. He's got his evil...
00:18:53
Speaker
airplanes full of bombs. What he needs is a runway. That's very clear. and then he can blow it up.
00:19:05
Speaker
And i' that is when these persons against us land, take you effect and sting.
00:19:17
Speaker
Jesus, on the other hand, said the opposite is true. If you have nothing in common with the enemy, you're not vulnerable to the enemy. John 14, 30 says this, and it's Jesus speaking.
00:19:33
Speaker
I won't speak with you much longer. For Satan, the ruler of this world, is coming. and Jesus was not running away because he was afraid. He knew he had to go to the cross.
00:19:46
Speaker
He has no claim on me. Satan has no power over me. Satan has nothing he can use against me.
00:19:57
Speaker
Commonality is vulnerability. What you have in common with the darkness will make you susceptible to the darkness. What you have in common with the darkness will make you an easy target for the weapon that demonic blacksmith fashion against you.
00:20:23
Speaker
How does the enemy do this?
00:20:27
Speaker
Well, Ephesians called the devil, the prince of the air, the prince of the airwaves. Another tool that he has at his disposal are brain waves. Now, this is something that God uses as well to communicate with people.
00:20:48
Speaker
And it's to do with the mind through the brain.
00:20:53
Speaker
The mind, the will, the heart, the emotions, dollar the soul. The soul is a very precious commodity in the spirit realm.
00:21:04
Speaker
God created it to rule, to take dominion of the earth, to bring the earth into dominion of his heavenly kingdom.
00:21:17
Speaker
Satan and demons fight to steal, kill, and destroy the soul.
00:21:24
Speaker
People try to take power over other people's souls.
00:21:32
Speaker
The heavenly host fights to protect human souls. The heavenly host probably don't like every Christian. They probably face-pan and cover their eyes and cover their ears and think, oh my goodness, these people are nuts, why am I doing this? But that's beside the point. We'll look at that another week.
00:21:54
Speaker
Jesus died to save your soul.
00:21:58
Speaker
And Holy Spirit, dream of a day your soul will conform perfectly to that of Christ.
00:22:11
Speaker
That is how precious a soul is. It's very expensive. It is literally worth the blood of Jesus.
00:22:21
Speaker
And in order... for each of them to make their power plays over the human soul.
00:22:31
Speaker
They understand something most people don't. And it's that brainwaves are the way to go about it.
00:22:39
Speaker
Humans have three parts, a spirit, a soul, a body.
Thoughts, Memories, and Health
00:22:43
Speaker
Now there are many different brainwaves, but for today, gonna look at theta,
00:22:52
Speaker
Alpha, which we touched on a little bit last week with the brainwashing, and Beta brainwaves.
00:23:08
Speaker
We all have brainwaves as part of our cognition. Brainwaves are electrical, neural pathways in the brain, each created by God with a purpose.
00:23:22
Speaker
The first are beta brainwaves. They're responsible for our waking functions related to our five physical senses. We respond and react to our world via beta brainwaves.
00:23:38
Speaker
These form a junction or connection between our body and our soul.
00:23:45
Speaker
Alpha brainwaves are parts were more relaxed, thoughtful way of thinking.
00:23:54
Speaker
This forms a specific realm of our soul. It is where we are creative and consider our lives, our personal decisions, and our reflective thought processes.
00:24:08
Speaker
Of central importance to this discussion on the spirit-soul-body connection are theta brainwaves. Theta brainwaves form the juncture between soul and spirit.
00:24:23
Speaker
Theta brainwaves are the means by which both Holy Spirit and evil spirits communicate with humans. God wants to influence us from within by his Holy Spirit and by his words.
00:24:37
Speaker
He uses these theta brainwaves to speak to us from within, to train us in his nature and righteousness. But Satan and his kingdom of darkness want to influence influence us from within as well.
00:24:56
Speaker
At this point, there's a specific part to the spirit soul body connection we need to address. And it's the concept of long term memory. It's a biological truth that things we think about and dwell on actually become part of who we are.
00:25:13
Speaker
We'll never get to the spiritual roots of disease if we don't understand the of how our mind affects our bodies. If you meet up with someone today, your mind will take a mental picture or snapshots of them.
00:25:29
Speaker
Your eyes are cameras taking pictures. Your ears are recorders capturing sounds. You are experiencing the world around you with your five physical senses.
00:25:42
Speaker
Your brain is taking pictures all the time by the millions. Those pictures are electrochemical occurrences that use another electrical chemical in your brain cells to mirror the image of what you just saw, heard, tasted, smelled, or touched.
00:26:05
Speaker
Initially, what you perceive around you is recorded in your short-term memory. In order for it to move to long-term memory, a biological event must take place in your brain called protein synthesis.
00:26:20
Speaker
In protein synthesis, there's a component of your genetics that plays a role in the process known as RNA. The component of RNA takes the electrochemical picture and integrates it into your brain cells permanently as a part of your long-term memory.
00:26:40
Speaker
That image or thought now it becomes a part of you biologically, not just a mirror image stored somewhere. Thoughts and images, whether good or evil, become permanent parts of your mind, your personality, and the way you act and think.
00:27:00
Speaker
For that reason, both God and Satan want their thoughts and images to be stored in your long-term memory. Satan will train you through long-term memory for temptations to bring on disorders and disease.
00:27:15
Speaker
God will train you through long-term memory as you meditate or dwell on his words. It's God's will that you live in freedom, that you live free and free indeed, and that you step into the abundant, super added life he has for you.
Diet, Health, and Spiritual Implications
00:27:38
Speaker
David wrote in Psalm 119, 97. Oh, how I love your instructions. I think about them all day ha long.
00:27:51
Speaker
Thinking about us is meditating. It's become very popular for people to say, oh, I wake up every morning at 5 a.m. when I meditate on the beach.
00:28:03
Speaker
Firstly, most those people are liars. Secondly, if their meditation looks like, um, um, that's a surefire way of getting demon possessed, please don't do it. If you have, stop.
00:28:18
Speaker
You're not told to meditate on who's in your life or what's in your life or all your blessings. You're told to meditate on the word of God, to read the Bible, fixate on the Bible, fill yourself with the Bible,
00:28:35
Speaker
John 1 says Jesus is the Word. In the beginning was the Word, Jesus, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. Nothing's been created that the Word himself did not create.
00:28:51
Speaker
The forces of evil have tried to suppress the Word, and up to this day, they have failed drastically, time and time again, billions and trillions of times.
00:29:06
Speaker
So when you read the word of God, which is Jesus in print, Jesus in paper and ink, you are filling yourself with the thoughts, intentions, character and personality of Jesus.
00:29:36
Speaker
Okay. One of the ways in which people do themselves harm and call themselves diseases is bad dieting.
00:29:48
Speaker
I work in a pizza, yeah. yes The first day i was told workers got pizza for dinner and if they paid one euro. And I said, amazing. I can't sell this stuff and not know what I'm giving people.
00:30:03
Speaker
I need to know what it tastes like. Delicious. It was great. Second day. that Well, I didn't get one. I got three. This morning, before recording this, I finished the third one. yes So, now I am absolutely all pizza for at least a week.
00:30:25
Speaker
I have to hate myself. It's a slowdown, calm down. um It's a cheat for you every now again. It's okay. It's not okay if it comes, like, you know, Part of your daily routine, not a chance.
00:30:38
Speaker
As Christians in particular, we have to look after our own health.
00:30:44
Speaker
Obesity, for instance, puts pressure on our bones and our back. It creates reflux issues, high blood pressure. Type 2 96%. I'll shout to diabetes cases.
00:31:00
Speaker
It's related to diabetes. eating processed carbohydrates that put pressure on the pancreas and that wear it out. This can lead blindness, amputation, and impotence.
00:31:19
Speaker
But type 2 diabetes can be reversed if you change your diet. Obesity can lead to heart attacks and strokes. I know the whole, you know, fashion acceptance movement really kicked off several years ago.
00:31:34
Speaker
Well, and you know, celebrities in particular pushed for infidels and reprobates who became celebrities for no good reason whatsoever, other than being unhealthy.
00:31:46
Speaker
And once the susceptible at working class people followed them and died, now all these celebrities are on Ozempic and they're all multiple dozens of kilograms lighter.
00:32:00
Speaker
and then Interesting how that happens.
00:32:05
Speaker
God wants us to eat more maple syrup, meat, poultry, fish, spices, whole grains, nuts and honey, food that's organic, food that's natural,
00:32:24
Speaker
k Not that's been contaminated, pesticide, and weed killer.
00:32:29
Speaker
White rice, white bread, muffins, cakes, biscuits, white pasta, all processed. Big no-no. If you're going to have them, eat them, barringly, as in frequently as can. This is a journey that I've been on since the second week in January this year.
00:32:51
Speaker
So many crops nowadays are sprayed in weed killer and pesticides.
00:32:57
Speaker
Ungerminated grains are used in food, which kills basically everything you actually need for your health. And modern milling, in terms of making white bread, is so hot that by the time you actually are eating white bread, almost everything that was healthy to begin with is gone.
00:33:18
Speaker
and In Ireland and the UK, If you want to eat bread, whole grain or rye sourdough is the best. Personally, I think it's the one that tastes the least good.
00:33:30
Speaker
that But they do say all the crap is what tastes the best, don't they? But I will say this, when you start eating healthy be food, you will actually train your tongue to really crave it and to want and appreciate it. Whereas the overly processed foods, it will taste like dirt after few weeks or months.
00:33:57
Speaker
I know what I did for quite a while before going to sourdough was I just began having brown, seeded bread, but Not the same as whole grain, no.
00:34:09
Speaker
Also, you need to increase your fruits and vegetable intake. Fruits and veg today have about 40% fewer vitamins than they did and a century i ago.
00:34:24
Speaker
So that means you have to eat more then you're already eating just to begin to equalize with the likes of what our grandparents and great-grandparents have been eating.
00:34:37
Speaker
a Sugar it's a big one. and It's used in white bread. It's used in tins beans. and If sugar were being introduced the world for the first time now, it probably would not get the okay.
00:34:57
Speaker
It would probably be verboten. Forbidden.
00:35:03
Speaker
Research has been done artificial sweeteners. and connected it then to dementia, type 2 diabetes, and it counteracts insulin.
00:35:18
Speaker
Ultra processed fat. um You know, butter is natural, margarine isn't. A lot of people are like, oh, I put margarine on my bread because butter, ugh.
00:35:31
Speaker
Or then, you know, what they're like, oh, why you put it I can't believe it's not butter on my bread.
00:35:38
Speaker
I'm not saying to take too much butter. I'm not. It's a big tub of fat. But at least it's natural. At least it's not made from who knows what.
00:35:51
Speaker
a White table salt. Some people are absolutely addicted to it. You only actually need five rams. So if you're taking any more than that, tap it.
00:36:05
Speaker
Get some help. I could go on and on and on, but to be honest with you, that's an entire video in of itself, just, you know, based on the food that we eat. And basically, yeah, the food industry is designed to kill you and to get rich while killing you.
Diseases Linked to Spiritual Issues
00:36:25
Speaker
So be very, very selective with your choices. a Learn to say no. to food. It's very okay. It's a beautiful word the Lord gave us when you don't want any cinnamon in our cakes.
00:36:39
Speaker
Just say no. um Don't do it. um Or if you're going to, just small doses if you can control yourself.
00:36:50
Speaker
But if you're one of those people, you have a tiny taste of something nice but naughty and you're crazy, don't give the enemy a foothold. a But I would also say, you know, some people, they're so healthy and health conscious in the natural, but nutrition does not and will never place righteousness.
00:37:14
Speaker
Make sure that above all things, you are walking in perfect tandem and perfect step with the Lord. and Don't just make what seem like wise decisions in the natural.
00:37:29
Speaker
Make sure your spiritual decisions match your confession that Christ is Lord.
00:37:47
Speaker
Arthritis. It's a major one. i Probably the first ailments I ever heard of someone getting.
00:38:00
Speaker
How to start Proverbs 14, 13 tells us very clearly. A heart at peace gives life to the body, but passionate envy rots the bones.
00:38:16
Speaker
If you are so unhappy with your life and you feel so small and so insignificant, and so overlooked, and so less than, that you cannot be happy for anyone else, arthritis will be a portion.
00:38:40
Speaker
Some people might hear that and say, I bind that in the name of Jesus, don't speak your word curses through YouTube, through the screen. What the Bible says. I'm just reading it out loud verbatim.
00:38:55
Speaker
Science backs it up. Chronic negative emotions like envy, which leads to hostility against, you know, anyone purportedly doing better than you, don't create arthritis out of nothing.
00:39:12
Speaker
But they act as powerful biological catalysts. Through the field of psychoneuroimmunology. and Notice I've pulled that very couple syllables.
00:39:26
Speaker
Medical studies show that chronic emotional distress triggers a devastating biological cascade. It causes glucocorticoid receptor resistance, activates pro-inflammatory cytokines, and accelerates cartilage and bone degeneration.
00:39:52
Speaker
Or when a person harbors chronic negative emotions, such as envy, jealousy, or bitterness, the brain's hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal-HBA axis is permanently switched on.
00:40:09
Speaker
This causes a continuous overwhelming flood of the stress hormone cortisol into the bloodstream. In short bursts, cortisol is actually anti-inflammatory,
00:40:23
Speaker
However, according to a breakthrough review published in International Journal of Molecular Science, chronic exposure forces the body's immune cells to develop glucocorticoid receptor systems.
00:40:41
Speaker
The immune system essentially goes deaf to cortisol's calming signals, the same way, you know, if you're surrounded by something again and again and again and then again and again,
00:40:52
Speaker
or the government threatening you this, with this, and this, and this, and this, this, and this, and this, or the media say this, and this, and this. Eventually, you shut it out. You become desensitized. It means nothing to you. In the same way, the immune system essentially goes deaf to cortisol's counting signals.
00:41:09
Speaker
And with the primary biological break removed, inflammation runs completely unchecked across the entire body.
00:41:24
Speaker
And this proverb is also evidenced through immunoporosis, the process where immune-driven inflammation destroys skeletal tissue.
00:41:38
Speaker
High cortisol and cytokine levels block the intestines from absorbing calcium, while simultaneously increasing calcium excretion through urine.
00:41:50
Speaker
Furthermore, ah study highlighted by the lusy and London osteoporosis clinic detailed that high cortisol directly inhibits osteoblasts, cell that build bone, while accelerating osteoblasts, cell that break down bone,
00:42:16
Speaker
At the same time, circulating inflammatory enzymes begin breaking down the proteolycans and collagen that make up joint cartilage.
00:42:31
Speaker
Without cartilage to cushion them, bones rub together, resulting in osteoarthritis and localized bone erosion.
00:42:43
Speaker
All of that is to say, If you have envy in your heart,
00:42:54
Speaker
you are jealous to the point of bitterness, how would anyone else have?
00:43:01
Speaker
You need to take that to the Lord. Lay that envy, every single scrap of it, at the foot of the cross of Jesus, and never pick it up again.
00:43:18
Speaker
I'm gonna shoot straight in this teaching. And if I highlight something that resonates with you, you might go back and watch this part of the video again the second or third or fourth or fifth time, that's okay.
00:43:31
Speaker
But the onus is on you to deal with this. To own your zone for your physical health and for your freedom.
00:43:43
Speaker
Next one, scoliosis. The root of scoliosis is revealed in Luke 13, 10 to 13.
00:43:57
Speaker
On a Sabbath, Jesus was teaching one of the pentagons and a woman was there who had been crippled by a spirit, a demon, hello, for 18 years. She was bent over and could not straighten up at all.
00:44:11
Speaker
When Jesus saw her, he called her forward and said to her, woman, You are free from your infirmity. Some people think Jesus is a very sassy dude whenever he calls someone woman.
00:44:26
Speaker
But remember, before Adam and Eve sinned, they were called the man and the woman. So what's he doing here? He sees her faith and he's restoring to her her Garden of Eden identity.
00:44:44
Speaker
He's calling her pre-fall Eve, based on her faith. Woman, you are set free from your infirmity. Then he put his hands on her, and immediately she straightened up and praised God.
00:44:57
Speaker
What happened here? Deliverance. Scoliosis. Yes, we could go into the natural of it all. It has a supernatural root. There's a demon at the root of it.
00:45:14
Speaker
Cancer, another major one that impacts just about everyone's life nowadays in one way or another.
00:45:26
Speaker
Dr. Wright gives 12 potential open doors. And in some cases, it'll be more than just one. In some cases, there can be other factors as well. near The 12 he gives for the cancer profile The soul issues at the root of cancer.
00:45:46
Speaker
A tendency to respond to anger and stress with hopelessness and despair, the point of being shut down.
00:45:58
Speaker
ah marked inability to forgive. What makes someone a Christian? The fact that Jesus Christ has forgiven us for the offenses we committed against the Holy God.
00:46:14
Speaker
Therefore, for any Christian to say, i'm not going to forgive. I'm entitled to feel this way. I have a right to my feelings.
00:46:26
Speaker
It is the ultimate flap across the face of Jesus as he's hanging on that cross. To think so arrogantly that the forgiveness he was extending to you, you can withhold from someone else.
00:46:44
Speaker
No, unforgiveness is a sure way of getting demonized and diseased.
00:46:54
Speaker
A tendency towards self-pity and self-introspection.
00:47:01
Speaker
Notice the word self there. One of the big words your head is me me me me me me me, me, me, self-obsessed, but your pain, your aches, your trauma, how terrible your life is.
00:47:15
Speaker
how badly everyone's treated you.
00:47:19
Speaker
ah poor ability to develop and maintain meaningful long-term relationship without fear. What is cancer? Well, it's eat the way it's body.
00:47:30
Speaker
What does fear do? the same.
00:47:35
Speaker
A great tendency to hold resentment.
00:47:41
Speaker
Poor self-image. which might mask itself with pride, by the way.
00:47:48
Speaker
The loss of a serious love object up to 24 months prior to the cancer, or the continued grief and unresolved issues relative to the love object.
00:48:04
Speaker
The loss of a significant life role or a purpose in life,
00:48:09
Speaker
Being fired or rejected in a vocational or in an avocational pursuit. Loss of hope.
00:48:21
Speaker
Hope deferred. So it's not lost, it's just postponed and postponed. It's always further away. And denial about personal feelings and needs.
00:48:35
Speaker
Again, if that refers to anyone understanding my voice, deal with this. The Lord is a very kind God. You are not fitting in a Garda-Shea Kona interrogation room with a light going yeah on top of the ceiling while Garda asked you.
00:49:00
Speaker
Where were you that night? Who was with you? Who said what? Then what did you do? What did you see? Now, You are sitting on a dentist's chair.
00:49:12
Speaker
With your mouth open, a i lets take an advantage and he drills away the plaque, and he gives you teeth whitening. The interrogation is not to scare you, intimidate you, shame you, or break you.
00:49:29
Speaker
It's to remove the gunk, but stay the stain, the plaque. And it's all concealed the blood of Jesus.
00:49:41
Speaker
and Another thing we need to do we want overcome disease in our lives is under understand and overcome fear.
Fear, Disease, and Spiritual Overcoming
00:49:57
Speaker
For the next few moments, let's track fear in our brains.
00:50:10
Speaker
Your endocrine system is a chemical messenger system that involves several important glands in your body, including the pituitary glands, the adrenal glands, and the hypothalamus glands.
00:50:28
Speaker
These glands decrete hormones that keep your body balanced and working smoothly. Of these glands, the hypothalamus is considered the control center of the entire endocrine system.
00:50:42
Speaker
It's a small but vital gland in the center of your brain.
00:50:50
Speaker
The main role of the hypothalamus is to keep your body in homeostasis, which means in a healthy body balance. It regulates the other glands.
00:51:04
Speaker
telling them when they should secrete the hormones that are necessary for your body to remain homeostasis. Your body works continually to maintain this balance because without it, you will develop disorder or a disease.
00:51:25
Speaker
As the master control, the hypothalamus regulate many bodily activities. body temperature, thirst, appetite and weight control, emotions, sleep cycles, sex drive, childbirth, blood pressure and heart rate, production of digestive juices, and balancing of bodily fluids.
00:51:53
Speaker
It activates your thyroid, which in turn affects your metabolism, energy levels, and developmental growth. It stirs the pituitary gland release growth hormones.
00:52:08
Speaker
Hypothalamus is working continually, controlling the release of hormones from the other endocrine glands to maintain homeostasis in all these systems. For example, if it receives a message that you're too hot, it will trigger the appropriate gland to produce sweat.
00:52:28
Speaker
If it receives a message that you're too cold, it will create heat through shivering. As a result, unless you're sick, your body maintains a stable body temperature. Since the hypothalamus regulates your heart rate, the contraction of your heart muscles, and the movement of food through the digestive system, serious problems occur when it's not functioning normally.
00:52:56
Speaker
and interference in the function of your cardiovascular system can cause high blood pressure and heart attack.
00:53:05
Speaker
In the gastrointestinal system, disorders can result in such things as ulcerative colitis, irritable bowel syndrome, diarrhea, vomiting and nausea.
00:53:23
Speaker
hypotthalus plays essential role and The in the spirit-soul-body connection. The cerebral cortex offers the largest part the brain, that covers the largest part the brain.
00:53:37
Speaker
It's how we process information, thinking, language comprehension, problem solving, and most importantly, long-term memory, at least in terms of trauma and the deep roots.
00:53:51
Speaker
When you're meditating on, or constantly replaying, thoughts of fear, anxiety, bitterness, anger, self-hatred, the amygdalae receive and interpret those strong negative emotions and thought as a threat.
00:54:09
Speaker
The rest of the limbic system kicks into survival mode, and the hypothalamus land responds. As the hypothalamus receives these messages, it may become overwhelmed.
00:54:22
Speaker
The result may be hyperactivity or hyperactivity in the endocrine system, neurological misfire, and neurotransmitter imbalance.
00:54:35
Speaker
Your thoughts and the evil spirit behind them, because Jesus specifically said, I have not given you a spirit of fear, but of love, boldness, and sound mind. Why would he mention a spirit of fear?
00:54:48
Speaker
If it did not exist, hello, fear is a spirit. It's spiritual attack. So your thoughts and the evil spirit of fear inspiring those thoughts have disrupted the hypothalamus's power function.
00:55:05
Speaker
Over time, living this way can lead to serious destruction of your body and organs. So if your endocrine system is out of whack, that is a very clear sign.
00:55:18
Speaker
There's a spirit of fear there. And you have to come 100% out of agreement with fear. Faith and fear are almost the same thing.
00:55:30
Speaker
Both of them are built on trust. Faith is the trust that God has power it's to save you and rescue you and deliver you, and he will, from every challenge and obstacle you faith.
00:55:46
Speaker
Fear is the trust. But the enemy has more power to steal, kill, and destroy you than God has to rescue you.
00:55:56
Speaker
Who you put your faith that's down to you.
00:56:15
Speaker
On the screen, You can see the chart, which has a list of diseases that result from a lack of homeostasis.
00:56:27
Speaker
It will affect the gastrointestinal system and create sexual disorders, impotence and fragidity, skin diseases, eczema, neurodermatitis, acne, diabetes, fatigue and lethargy,
00:56:49
Speaker
overeating, depression, and insomnia. In addition, it can lead to coronary artery disease, hypertension, strokes, disturbances of heart rhythm, tension headache, muscle contraction, back aches, rheumatoid arthritis, related inflammatory diseases, asthma, hay fever,
00:57:19
Speaker
immunosuppression, and autoimmune disease, all stemming from a dysfunction of hypothalamus glands that creates a lack of homeostasis.
Emotions and Health Conditions
00:57:42
Speaker
I mentioned eczema just a moment ago.
00:57:47
Speaker
Eczema At the root is a demon. It's specifically caused by a demon that looks like a hippopotamus.
00:58:02
Speaker
When people think of hippos, they often think of them as big fat slugs yawning, you know,
00:58:10
Speaker
basking under the summer sun in a brown body of water. They're not yawning because they're tired. That's not what hippos do.
00:58:22
Speaker
I didn't say, you know, the tired hippo. I'm saying hungry, hungry hippo.
00:58:29
Speaker
Hippos yawn as a territorial warning.
00:58:36
Speaker
They're showing that they are the boss. They're the ones in charge of that pool of water. The hippopotamus spirit is a marine spirit, which is a stubborn spirit.
00:58:50
Speaker
Marine spirits are some of the hardest ones to get rid of, well as mind control spirits, because people will often come into agreement with whatever it is that they've said.
00:59:05
Speaker
A wide open jaw in the natural warns intruders and rivals to stay away. without having to resort to a physical fight, one that would probably be fatal for the enemy.
00:59:18
Speaker
They're marking their territory, they're marking their turf. They're saying, come at me, bro, and you will live to regret that moment.
00:59:29
Speaker
They yawn to show dominance. Their tusks and their teeth, some which could be 50 centimeters long,
00:59:38
Speaker
Bull hippos open their mouths to flex the size and authority, signaling to the rest of the pod who is the dominant male.
00:59:48
Speaker
Isn't that interesting? When someone has eczema, what do they do? They cover up. Or they stay indoors. Or they don't like to be seen.
01:00:02
Speaker
They feel embarrassed, they feel ashamed. They feel left-bound. They tell themselves they're ugly, they're good for nothing. They're an embarrassment.
01:00:14
Speaker
No one would ever want them. If someone would want them, what would that relationship look like? If they had kids and they passed eczema on, and then they looked at their children, you know, scratching and scraping, oh my goodness, people would say, you're such a bad parent, why did you this?
01:00:32
Speaker
Go with self-image, go with perception. Especially when women get eczema, in my experience, they will often take issue with words like feminine and femininity because they won't feel attractive.
01:00:52
Speaker
They won't feel beautiful. they might dress more boyishly or more like, you know, I don't care. I'm going to dress wherever I want to look. Why? it's probably a male spirit that's in there, a male epipotemic spirit that does not want them, like the woman with scoliosis we looked at in Luke 13, be woman, to step into her Garden of Eden identity, want to hold them back, make them less than.
01:01:23
Speaker
and the natural, brain cooling is another reason. Some researchers suggest that yawning may also play a role in temperature regulation. a Because obviously the hippo is under the hot African sun. Hmm, African, there you go.
01:01:39
Speaker
So a lot of people with a connection the continent of Africa will deal with this. and Because it's an ancestral spirit that came from further back in the bloodline.
01:01:52
Speaker
Looked for an open door. a Fear is major one. Again, lot of this is related to the hypothalamus.
01:02:05
Speaker
Another big one is self-hatred. Massive. It's a massive landing platform for hippo spirit.
01:02:19
Speaker
Unforgiveness. Major. Absolutely major. And if you are not going to forgive, it's not going to leave. Why not? The territorial spirit is a strong man.
01:02:32
Speaker
Not just that it's and flexing his teeth.
01:02:40
Speaker
For a Christian not to forgive is literally for a Christian to say, i will refuse to have the personality of Jesus. I refuse to take on the characteristic of Christ.
01:02:55
Speaker
Jesus is different than every other God in that he was punished on behalf of his creation. Because he forgave, because he loved, because he was moved by his own compassion.
01:03:10
Speaker
For his kid, his creation, to say, going to live on forgiveness anyway, is to come into agreement with devils and demons.
01:03:21
Speaker
Because they do not forgive.
01:03:25
Speaker
People of eczema, self-harm is another major issue. Because unforgiveness is like drinking poison and hoping that someone else dies. It doesn't happen that way. While you're doing, you're only hurting yourself.
01:03:52
Speaker
The next issue we're gonna look at, low white blood cell count.
01:04:08
Speaker
In the center of our bones, there's a spongy material called the bone and marrow that is continuously producing our red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets.
01:04:23
Speaker
The white blood cells play a vital role in our immune system. God has created them to fight against invading bacteria, viruses and fungi.
01:04:35
Speaker
To help destroy all harmful invaders in our body. We can't live without it a healthy immune system.
01:04:44
Speaker
But Jesus gives a warning in his words in Proverbs 17, 22. ah merry heart does good like a medicine. But a broken spirit dries the bones.
01:04:58
Speaker
A broken heart, biologically, dries up the soft tissue of the bone marrow, affects the white blood cells, and destroys the immune system.
01:05:15
Speaker
Proverbs 17.22 is very, very literal. is very very letteral Again, if this is something you've been struggling with, you need to forgive whoever it was who broke your heart.
01:05:32
Speaker
You need to forgive whoever it was who damaged you. If it was loss, you need to focus on the fact that you have been found and adopted the family of the Lord and he blessed you with the family on the earth.
01:05:48
Speaker
and that Jesus is God and he makes all things the new. That is his speciality.
01:06:07
Speaker
Diabetes.
01:06:11
Speaker
Diabetes is related to rejection. The spiritual root is usually the rejection. and Spirit, that's a demon I'm talking about now, a spirit of rejection, joins a person because of rejection from a father.
01:06:29
Speaker
Although adults can still develop diabetes one, it usually starts in childhood and is a direct result of living in a hostile or unloving family environment.
01:06:42
Speaker
particularly with rejection the father. The child begins to think that there's something wrong with him or her. They attack themselves, their minds, and with their mouths.
01:06:54
Speaker
The result is that the body attacks the body.
01:07:00
Speaker
Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease, which the pancreas no longer produces the insulin needed to control sugar in the body. The body's own immune system, which was created to fight harmful bacteria and viruses, mistakenly destroys the insulin producing islet cells in the pancreas.
01:07:24
Speaker
The white corpuscles mistakenly identify the antigen markers on the pancreatic islet and attack and eat them. As a result, the pancreas no longer produces the insulin needed to move sugar, glucose, and itself.
01:07:43
Speaker
And the sugar builds up in the bloodstream. And this can lead to life-threatening conditions.
01:07:54
Speaker
Crohn's disease and performance disorders.
01:07:59
Speaker
Let's go the spiritual route first. It's a constant self-conflict issue surrounding performance. This means there's a spirit of fear driving a person to perform, and there's the evil spirit of self-conflict that also requires repentance.
01:08:19
Speaker
Not locking yourself in a room for three hours telling God what a bad person you are, but making a 180-degree turnaround. The person with Crohn's disease can hyperventilate in fear that there might be a problem going on, even when there is no problem, but the impact it has on their soul, on their thoughts.
01:08:41
Speaker
In the natural, Crohn's disease and autoimmune disease, where the neurotransmitters are once again giving a false signal to the white corpuscles.
01:08:56
Speaker
The white corpuscles decide that the antigen marker for an invader is on the lining of the intestines. As they begin to eat the intestinal lining, it produces inflammation, ulceration, bleeding, and pain.
01:09:18
Speaker
Dr. Wright says in studying case history after case history, he's concluded that Crohn's is a performance disorder in which the individual is extremely driven do everything right in order to keep the people around him or her have them.
01:09:35
Speaker
There's guilt involved with Crohn's disease as well. you know The other person doesn't believe that they ever actually do anything correctly. As a result, the patient becomes a false burden bearer of others.
01:09:50
Speaker
They pick up other people's issues and often blame themselves things don't go right for other people. They blame themselves for other people's unhappiness. as if they were responsible for other people's failures, in addition to their own.
01:10:10
Speaker
Art arrhythmias.
01:10:13
Speaker
Let's look at the spiritual foundation. This condition stems from the spirit of rejection, with the manifestation being fear of man, fear of rejection and rebellion.
01:10:29
Speaker
How does it de plague their soul? A person who doesn't feel accepted can never begin to be accepted for long.
01:10:42
Speaker
If it starts, they have one foot out the door. They're playing the hokey pokey, one foot in, one foot out, shaking it all about.
01:10:52
Speaker
They strive to be accepted, wanted, valued, affirmed, loved. And if someone does not respond to them in the affirmative, the fear of rejection manifests as wondering, what did I do wrong?
01:11:14
Speaker
Fear man says, I'd better do it the way they want me to.
01:11:20
Speaker
Rebellion hardens the heart. It's the final outcome. They see no way to be accepted So they say, well then, I'm not gonna listen to anyone and I'm gonna do what I wanna do instead and I choose do it my own way.
01:11:39
Speaker
What happens their body? Well, heart arrhythmias are due to an electrical breakdown in the heart rate. There are disturbances of the heart rhythm with the spiritual roots of fear and anxiety in stress.
01:11:56
Speaker
Because of the spirit-soul-body connection, and the disturbances that wrong thoughts can cause to bodily systems. The cardiovascular system does not receive the correct electrical signal, and therefore the heartbeat is interrupted.
01:12:18
Speaker
Migraines.
01:12:23
Speaker
Migraines are a stress disorder with unexplained throbbing headache. accompanied by nausea, vomiting, auras of light, the fatigue, and severe mood swings.
01:12:38
Speaker
As a result of the imbalance in homeostasis that occurs, migraine sufferers have lower serotonin level and higher histamine produced by glands in the endocrine system.
01:12:52
Speaker
Because the increase of histamine, the blood vessels and the head expand and bump into nearby nerve tissue. tissue causing migraine pain, which can be very intense.
01:13:06
Speaker
With migraines, there are two routes.
01:13:10
Speaker
A person is having an internal conflict about an external conflict. The external conflict is an open door for fear, which releases histamine.
01:13:24
Speaker
then the person feels guilt about having this conflict and how they're handling it. or not handling it or how badly they've handled it. It may be a conflict or a relationship problem, a work situation, parenting children, or ministry, something else.
01:13:43
Speaker
Migraines occur predominantly in women. Doctors prescribe medication that will raise their tone and levels and drop histamine levels to control migraines.
01:13:56
Speaker
We prescribe that migraine sufferers repent of the fear of self-projection of tormenting them and that they resolve their inner conflict over an external conflict by taking their peace from God and trusting him with relationship, the parenting issue or whatever the underlying conflict is.
01:14:21
Speaker
Second and last one, asthma.
01:14:26
Speaker
This is one that have 99% beaten in my life 1% ago. Asthma is a stress disorder. That's the product of a very specific root tissue, the fear of abandonment.
01:14:43
Speaker
Over time, the spirit of fear causes a stiffening of the membrane of the air passageway. Oxygen does not get into the lungs.
01:14:54
Speaker
Carbon dioxide does not get out. This causes an asthma attack.
01:15:01
Speaker
Medication will cause the air passageway to relax so that the affected person can breathe again. ah more excellent way to allow the Lord to deliver you from fear.
01:15:15
Speaker
The antidote is God's promise that he'll never leave you nor forsake you.
01:15:22
Speaker
In Deuteronomy 31. Verse six.
01:15:31
Speaker
Overeating. It's a fear-based disorder.
01:15:37
Speaker
This is one that I had for about half a decade. And I'm working very hard on overcoming it. The spiritual roots of overeating are fear of rejection, fear of man,
01:15:54
Speaker
fear of failure and fear of abandonment. I can say yes to all four those in my life.
01:16:02
Speaker
These can be powerful forces that drive people and produce long term anxiety and dietotine stress, both physical and mental.
01:16:12
Speaker
Excessive eating has an addictive characteristic. All addictions are rooted in the need to be loved.
01:16:23
Speaker
A person who does not feel loved does not feel good about it. And as a result, there's a decrease in the secretion of serotonin.
01:16:36
Speaker
Serotonin is a chemical from God that makes you feel good about yourself. But when a serotonin decreases,
01:16:47
Speaker
you need an upper to feel better and you choose comfort food, which functions as a sort of pacifier, false comforter.
01:17:01
Speaker
You may gravitate towards consuming unhealthy junk food when you feel stressed. It tastes good, and it lulls you into a full sense of security and peace.
01:17:15
Speaker
Low serotonin also causes your metabolism to slow down. and therefore you gain weight, sometimes excessively.
01:17:26
Speaker
And since you are using comfort food to replace love, it becomes a vicious cycle. And that way it's not all that different from lust, is it? Counterfeit comfort, counterfeit love, counterfeit intimacy.
01:17:45
Speaker
The cure for excessive eating is to recognize spirits of fear spirits of rejection, spirits of abandonment, to come out of agreement with them and deal with them once and for all.
01:17:59
Speaker
You must believe God's word about who you are and the Father through Jesus Christ. Receive the love of God and others and quit hating yourself.
01:18:13
Speaker
The need to comfort yourself with food will diminish as you apply God's truth, that you are loved, accepted, and embraced in him.
01:18:27
Speaker
In Proverbs 23, 20 to 21, the Lord denounces gluttony. Don't join with those who drink too much wine or gorge themselves on meat.
01:18:42
Speaker
where drunkards and glutton's become poor, and drowsiness clothes them in rags, especially when the metabolism slows down.
01:18:56
Speaker
The Lord does not want you to use food or a drink as a counterfeit God, as a counterfeit comforter, because Holy Spirit is the comforter.
01:19:11
Speaker
What he wants... is to be your all in all, to be your everything, as you are his everything. What he wants is for you to walk in the steps to freedom.
01:19:28
Speaker
The eight wars.
01:19:33
Speaker
To recognize what the problem is, and to recognize that Jesus is the answer, for that he will not overwrite human will, The onus is on you to do that yourself.
Conclusion: Steps to Spiritual and Physical Health
01:19:50
Speaker
But you have a responsibility to own your zone. You have responsibility to take ownership for your body, for your cravings, for your addictions, for your choices, for how you do and don't spend your time and your money.
01:20:11
Speaker
The third it is repentance.
01:20:15
Speaker
choosing to turn your back on things god hates and destructive patterns of behavior and to walk the opposite direction
01:20:31
Speaker
renouncing them saying this was bad enough is enough articulating it your words are solid in the spirit realm i am coming out of agreement with this
01:20:45
Speaker
Removing physical things. Removing people. Removing different things from your house. Removing different things from your shopping list.
01:20:58
Speaker
Resistance. Choosing with an act of your will to fight against the temptation when it next comes up. Not if, when it next comes up.
01:21:10
Speaker
And if you resist the enemy, he will flee. That's a biblical promise.
01:21:15
Speaker
To rejoice. To give thanks to God in all circumstances for every good thing he's done in your life.
01:21:23
Speaker
And restore. Restore the parts of your relationship with the Lord that got damaged through this. Your relationship with other people that got damaged through unforgiveness, envy, and bitterness.
01:21:38
Speaker
And to restore other people when you see that they're going through something you've already overcome.
01:21:49
Speaker
My last word in all of this it's in first corinthians six nineteen is 19 to 20. Do you not know that your bodies are temples of Holy Spirit?
01:22:02
Speaker
Who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own. You were bought with a very expensive price, the blood of Jesus. Therefore, honor God with your bodies.
01:22:17
Speaker
Saying no is not an option. He is the Lord. He's God. Telling him he does not get to have a say in your life is deluded.
01:22:30
Speaker
He is the Lord. He is God. Telling him he can come so far and it has to back off shows that you do not know what a Lord or a God in
01:22:52
Speaker
Amen.
01:22:55
Speaker
I don't know about you, but I felt the weight and the gravity of this teaching today. I began planning it at 6.20am.
01:23:06
Speaker
I began and the recording at about midday or so. I spent a good five and a half, six hours laboring over this. Obviously, I would have said so much more.
01:23:19
Speaker
aware it's pretty scientific, and that can be quite heavy for people. So I tried to cap it at just the essentials that I felt God wanted me to share. hope that's blessed your heart. hope that's challenged you.
01:23:37
Speaker
I hope that for everyone on the sound of my voice who has not already logged off and written a nasty comment, who are you to tell me how to live my life? Has gleaned something from this today.
01:23:50
Speaker
Has been challenged to pursue righteousness and holiness on another level. To take it up a notch.
01:23:58

This is part three in a seven part series on the soul. Next time we gather, we're gonna look at when and how soul parts leave your body, soul ties, and the difference between astral projection and being taken away in the spirit.
01:25:50
Speaker
In the next installment, we're gonna look at the spirit realm, who or what is there? If it has no time and no space, what do people or other creatures do? Where do they go? We're all going to look at portals, how they travel around.
01:26:12
Speaker
And going to look at heavenly warfare. The heavenly host versus demons.
01:26:20
Speaker
In part six, going look at the world of hell. It's a teaching topic that churches avoid as much as they can for some reason, to the detriment of the demographic they were called to save from that abominable abhorrent place.
