Illness is Spiritual Warfare

We think that our bodies are just organic blobs that are constantly endangered by external influences. While that is partly true, as in constantly in danger of attack that result in disease not all of our illnesses stem from external attacks such as pollutants, bad diet, lack of exercise. Not too many of us think that illness can be a spiritual attack from within. Once we allow our spirit to come under attack, we can develop disease... as in dis -ease with ourself. Everyday, we must give ourselves over to spiritual healing so that the supernatural can dwell in us. "For we who are alive are always being given over to death for Jesus' sake, so that His life may be revealed in our mortal body. So then, death is at work in us, but life is at work in you. It is written: "I believed; therefore, I have spoken." With that same spirit of faith we also believe; and therefore speak, because we know that the one who raised the Lord Jesus from the dead will also raise us with Jesus and present us with you in His presence. All this is for your benefit, so that the grace that is reaching more and more people may cause thanksgiving to overflow to the glory of God." 2 COR 11-16
