Sin Steals, Kills and Destroys

What human nature does is quite plain.“It shows itself in immoral filthy, and indecent actions, in worship of idols and witchcraft, people become enemies and they fight, they become jealous, angry, and ambitious. They separate into parties and groups, they are envious, get drunk and have orgies” (Galatians 5 v 19-21). Other acts of the sinful nature are deceit, worry (Matthew 6 v 25-34), fear (2 Timothy 1 v 7) and anxiety (1 Peter 5 v 7). These are sins, and those who do these things will not possess the Kingdom of God (Galatians 5 v 19-21).

Sin destroys the physical body (sickness) and steals man’s blessings (money, peace, joy, etc) while on earth. It may kill prematurely and will certainly, destroy the soul in hell after death on earth.

God has revealed to medical scientists many things that ruin the health. Some of them are bitterness, unforgiveness, envy, worry, anger and jealousy (Galatians 5 v 19-21). These are sins and they are the main causes of many serious physical ailments such as high blood pressure, stroke, heart problems, circulatory diseases, asthma, stomach ulcers, and chronic headache.

All these sickness are emotional and whoever wants to be healed of them need to give up the sins that cause them. However, because sin lives in man (Romans 7 v 17), you need to have power over sin to give it up. The only power that can do this is in the Holy Spirit given by God to believers through Christ Jesus.

My life gives a clear evidence of this. In my earlier days I had unforgiveness, bitterness, envy, jealousy, worry, fear, anxiety, and so on. But I changed when I became a Christian through the Holy Spirit given to me by God through Jesus Christ (John 1 v 13).

I have been able to overcome them. But sometimes when thoughts of fear, worry, anger, anxiety and others come to my mind, I take necessary action as the Bible directs me, “We take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ” (2 Corinthians 10 v 5). Based on that, I speak to those evil thoughts “I cast you out, spirit of worry (or whatever it is) in the name of Jesus Christ”. After that, the thought will go and peace will come into my mind because my Lord, Jesus Christ is the Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9 v 6). True to His character, Jesus says, “Peace I give you; I do not give to you as world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid” (John 14 v 27).

The purpose of this testimony is to help you avoid as well as be healed of emotional diseases. It treats the root of the problem.

On the other hand, medical drugs only manage emotional diseases. Complete and effective cure come from giving up sins (worry, anger and so on). This is why you need to accept and obey Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour (you can’t give up sin without Jesus – no other person or way can do it for you). However, if you have given your life to Christ Jesus, you need to obey His teachings (John 8 v 31) so that the Holy Spirit and the name of Jesus Christ can achieve the purpose of Gods in your life.
