Christian spiritual healing is vital in all aspects of life,
including physical health. Can you imagine how wonderful you would
feel if you had never made bad choices? What if you had never
experienced loss or had never been abused?
Imagine having no guilt to
carry and no circumstances to bear. Guilt (caused by the things we've
done and the things others have done to us) is a debilitating disease and, in many cases, the very cause for
depression, anxiety and physical illnesses.
Emotional wounds (caused by your actions or other's) leave dents or footholds in
your spirit
that cause you to act out in certain ways. That is a crushed spirit.
Prov 18:14 A man's spirit sustains him in sickness,
but a crushed spirit who can bear? NIV
Many times, these spiritual dents and wounds are caused by someone else's
words. What we were told about ourselves as children is vital to our
spiritual health as adults. This is why Christian spiritual healing
deals first with cleansing the mind.
Retrain Your Brain!
Scroll Down and begin your Christian spiritual healing by taking
control of your thoughts.
Prov 18:15 The heart of the discerning acquires knowledge;
the ears of the wise seek it out. NIV
We are going to acquire knowledge from the Holy Spirit to replace the
false knowledge we have been given through childhood tragedies and abuse,
emotional disasters, bad choices, mistakes and life in general.
Ps 107:20 He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from
their destructions. KJV (Notice it says "their"
destructions!)
How does it work? Again, Christian spiritual healing involves the renewing of the mind.
There are some key steps that have to be taken in order to be healed:
Accept the fact that you are forgiven.
1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to
forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. KJV
Forget the Past: (This one is difficult, but required for Christian
Spiritual Healing)
Phil 3:13-14 Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have
taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and
straining toward what is ahead, 14 I press on toward the goal to win
the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.
NIV
Receive God's Favor (Grace)
Eph 1:6 to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely
given us in the One he loves. NIV
Pray along these lines:
Ps 51:10-12 Create in me a pure heart, O God,
and renew a steadfast spirit within me.
11 Do not cast me from your presence
or take your Holy Spirit from me.
12 Restore to me the joy of your salvation
and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me. NIV
Rom 12:2 Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world,
but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be
able to test and approve what God's will is — his good, pleasing and
perfect will. NIV
