A diseased spirit leads to a body plagued with constant infirmities, whether it be mental or physical. It can be biblically supported that relentless illness can be linked to false doctrines. God’s Word is vital, like spiritual food for our bodies, this is made evident in Proverbs 4:20-22–” My son, give attention to my words; Incline your ear to my sayings. Do not let them depart from your eyes; Keep them in the midst of your heart; For they are life to those who find them, and health to all their flesh.” True doctrine has divine origin whereas false doctrine is from man’s inspired words. Man’s traditions evoke feelings of doubt which hinders faith. This where discernment comes into play, and as Christians we should always pray for understanding and “rightly divide” the Word. Colossians 2:8–” Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ.” Throughout the Holy Bible, there are verses about peace. In Hebrew, Peace is “Shalom,” the context in which this word pertains to health and wellness of spirit, soul, body, and mind. The same word ties into prosperity which means wholeness whenever the scripture speaks of teachings and principles of Christ.
Romans 15:13–” Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.” If you believe and trust in the Living Word (The Torah, which consists of the five books of Moses is regarded as so sacred, it is honored as though it were a living person) –then you will have this peace described throughout scripture. 2 Timothy 3:16-17 explains that–” All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.” False teachings will boast of self-righteousness and emphasize that everything has to do with spiritual warfare, but this is NOT so. Just as there are different solutions to a different problem in life, there are differences in spiritual war versus our own sinful decisions that lead up to natural consequences. We wear the Armor of God to ward off the enemy’s “flaming arrows,” and then we turn to the “children’s bread” when we need to be set free from oppression. Once you have been set free, the Lord expects you to repent and through changing your ways to match God’s ways, you will prosper. If your tires are bald, they will eventually pop. The enemy did not cause that blown tire, but your neglect did. What we can control, we often bring things on ourselves. We can control our tongues so we can speak against demons with the spiritual authority God has granted us.
