Receive His Healing Power
February 2024
Is it possible to live in health in your body when your mind and emotions are tormented? Over the years I have observed that health in the body is relative to health in the mind and emotions.
When something happens in life that wounds you, whether it is tragedy, loss, betrayal, or divorce, it may appear at first that the health of the body has not changed. It may not be instantaneous, but unresolved conflict and unhealed wounds have serious effects upon the body.
In the same manner, thoughts or feelings of guilt, shame, and unworthiness can overwhelm the body’s natural immune ability to resist sickness. What happens in the mind and emotions impacts the body. In 3 John 1:2, the apostle says:
“Beloved, I pray that in every way you may prosper and enjoy good health as your soul prospers.” (Greek)
Sound health comes as your soul (psyche) prospers.
The Greek word soul is “psyche” which is where we get our English word “psychological.” What is the soul or psyche? It is your mind, will, and emotions which hold all the memories of your experiences in life, all the decisions you have made, and the consequences of those decisions. It has been said that you can read a person’s history by looking at their face. Just as pain and sorrow or even anger can be etched in a person’s physical face, so can the glory of the Lord shine forth on a person’s face from spending time in His Presence.
If you are experiencing less than the best health in your body, what thoughts, feelings, or resistance are affecting you from the inside? Are you holding something against someone? Has the Holy Spirit led you to change something in your life and you are resistant to Him? Have you submitted your own will to His will? These are hard questions, but necessary if we want to access the life of God and His strength in our bodies.
God is not punishing you! He knows what is best for your life. He wants you to be healed…spirit, soul, and body! I pray for you to RECEIVE HIS HEALING POWER as you read this pamphlet.
In Christ,
