Thank you for respecting the hard work of Free From Bondage Ministry.

Free From Bondage Ministry has published many books for your benefit. First a series of nineteen short books, on many different subjects. These books are called "God's manual on........". We want to inform the readers that the basic concept in this series of nineteen books is the same in each and every of these book in the "God's manual on...." series, with just a slight emphasis on the subject at hand. In this series, you will find a lot of repetition from one book to another with one basic concept that needs to be understood before moving on to other Free From Bondage materials.

Once you understand the basic concept, we recommend to start on our other books, MP3's and our weekly newsletter. They will provide in depth information on that basic concept.

As I have received many comments on my writing style and grammar, I do want to make every reader aware in advance that English is not my language of origin. Please do not let the current absence of a professional editing service be your reason for discarding the Free From Bondage Ministry messages. After all, my weakness, His strength. If you let my weakness in the English language discourage you from learning more about God's will, then just guess " Who is telling you...." to be discouraged. Besides that, Christ told us to go and make disciples. He did not tell us we had to be perfect in the English language before we could go and do that.

If the books or other materials helped you, we would appreciate a referral and/or a donation (see details on www.freefrombondage.weebly.com). That is the only means through which our ministry expands.

General Application Of The "Who Told You....." Principle

Repent And Overcome, Or Else

Intro.

This book is not meant to be a literary work of art. It is written to bring you information. In time of writing this book I spent a lot time in prayer and studying the Bible. Information would come to me in bits and pieces, which has caused this book in many places to be written like that too. I could have spent months more to straighten all that out to make it an easier read, but I felt I did not have that long to wait. There are people out there that needed the information from this book yesterday. So just read through the scatteredness you will find in some places and you will get the message anyway.

Also, this book is not juiced up with political correctness or sweet talking anything. That would make this book just like the dozens and dozens of other Christian book out there. I want you to get truth and hard Biblical facts. If you want to be sweet talked into the lake of fire, but such that you can live with comfortable and safe feeling right here and now, don't read this. Then just go to the average church. So this is not an easy read, and I will get straight in your face. But that is because I want for you what God wants for you. Your salvation and everlasting life, with Him. Let's face it, Christ didn't sweet talk His message either. And I can already see that because not being political correct and sweet talking it, with adding to this other reasons, this book will be criticized from all sides and directions. I also know however that the miracles that will take place with the Biblical knowledge laid out in this book, it will be proof for itself. And understanding this book will make clear why this book will be severely criticized.

Then, I want to start this book with somewhat of a pre-requisite. Because this book will make little sense to probably eighty percent of those who have not read any of the free nineteen "God's manual on....." yet. And even if you have read any of these books, and do not understand or believe the concept they brought, reading this book will be a waste of your time. So consider to get the pre-requisite done first, then come back here. Unless you feel to belong to the twenty percent that wouldn't need an introduction, then just read on. If you get stuck you can still go back later on to get the pre-requisite done.

With the basic understanding of the "Who told you....?" concept, this book will open a world for you that has been removed from Christianity in most of today's world. Well, Free From Bondage Ministry is bringing it back because it addresses the foundation of the message from the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit to mankind. Not that we can ever come close to the truth that the Bible brings us. Our Father in Heaven has knowledge and power that goes so far beyond our comprehension that even if we consider to understand, we are just touching a minuscule percentage of a small fraction of the tip of the ice berg. No matter how far mankind reaches into the fast universe or into the smallest details of the atom, we will never be able to comprehend God's greatness. So even though we are bringing you a message that can bring you closer to God, we will never be able to reach Him. It is within our effort to move that stone throw towards God, that He will cross millions of light years to meet you. Because He wants that intimate relationship with you.

I want you to experience what it is like to experience that intimate relationship. What is truly possible with God the Father, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. We, at Free From Bondage Ministry, see large numbers of people following the Bible, in light of being saved after death. But doing that with little regard for life here on earth. And remember that God's will will be done on earth as it is in heaven, so we better get to work. Because our lips might say we are in Christ Jesus, but our heart needs to be there too. Jesus told us that; "People draw near to Me with their mouth, and honor Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me".

Christians around the world suffer from diseases, disasters, problem after problem sometimes interrupted by a crisis. And too many of them let it all happen to them, thinking it is out of their control. Yet, if you read your Bible, you will find that all things are possible with God. It doesn't say "some things", but "all things". The Bible also says He heals all our diseases. So claiming you have no control in your life, should make you wonder right away if you truly believe what the Bible tells you. Do you doubt that a star breathing, universe creating, DNA inventor, Son sacrificer, would not be able to make all things happen? Which could indicate you are not following the law of God, but another kingdom, which should make you wonder about your salvation. Just consider "who is telling you.....?". It is not God that falls short of the Glory of God. We are fumbling with the stone throw that we have to cover. And even when we have covered that stone's throw distance, we all too often fall back. No wonder the non-Christians are looking at Christianity why we are making so much ado about nothing. After all, they don't see any differences within the Christian population. While the initial Christians, if you read your Bible intently, were openly and visually experiencing something different than the rest of the world. Why is that not the case in today's world?

Realize that even Jesus was not healing everyone from everything. He repeatedly said "It is your belief that healed you". The Bible even tells us that in certain places "He did not do many mighty works, because of their unbelief". He literally marveled at their unbelief. He even send crowds of people away from where he was performing miracles, because too many in the crowd were non-believers and skeptics. Which tells us that the occurrence and size of Godly wonders is not an indication of God's abilities, but an indication of belief from our side. So the following question might bug you, but I need to ask for an honest answer: "How many Godly miracles have happened in your life lately??". Not to criticize or be judgmental, but would Christ still marvel at our unbelief, even if he would walk among Christians?

If you have come to this book through one of the nineteen Free From Bondage free e-books, you should have a pretty good sense that you have a lot more control about life than humanity considers to be possible. Now don't get the wrong idea here. Stuff will still happen, and it won't be all fun and enjoyable. By understanding the Bible you will change in this world, but the world around you doesn't necessarily change. Nor will we ever become perfect in God's eyes, so we will always be scrambling through life. In the world of success principles they say that it is not what happens to you that matters, but how you respond to what happens to you that matters. There is truth in that, but it misses the essence of Biblical truth. It leaves the grace and blessing of God out of the picture. It puts all the weight on your shoulders, it is all up to you. While as Christians we should know that there is much more to it than that. Especially if you understand "Who told you......". We are in spiritual warfare here.

So there are the people that claim to understand, but why put in any effort. They say "Oh, I will just believe in Jesus Christ, faithfully run to church each time, and I will be saved. But the Bible tells us you will be known there as you are known here. So if you are floating through life as a dead fish going down stream, than that is how you will be known in the hereafter as well. If you feel that will bring you to hear the words "Faithful servant", you might want to think again. You might still be missing the essence of "Who told you....?", and walking after the flesh more than you might realize. Jesus told us we should all be disciples and that we had to tell everyone the good news. That is bad news for a lot of people. Because that means that sitting in church every Sunday morning, saying your "Amen" when the pastor tells you, and then rattling of your usual prayer before each meal without even thinking anymore what you are saying, doesn't even come close to what Jesus asked you to do. Now this doesn't mean either that you have to run door to door as a salesman, and shove it into people's faces, or hit people over the head with your Bible. But if you open your eyes, and realize that everything is possible with God, each and every day is filled with plenty of opportunities to do what Jesus asked you to do.

But, if you have read this far, it most likely means you have been reading from the Free From Bondage book series. And the concept has opened your eyes enough that you want to know more. Well, you have picked up the right book for that. You could also pick up your Bible, study, ponder and figure it out by yourself, which we still urge you to do so. All we do here is bring the details of the Bible to you, touching on certain areas of life. But life is much bigger than just certain areas, so there is much more that needs to be studied for.

But if that is how you got here, hungry for knowledge, then you are thinking. Let me guess..... You are working to keep your thoughts captive. You are aware of the battle of the mind. You are fighting the fight against the kingdom of sin, asking God, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit to be on your side. You are a fired up Christian, spreading the word with enthusiasm. Your knowledge in regards to evil dwelling within, having the right to torment us, is growing daily. You are on your way. A "faithful servant"! And are you sinless? I bet you, that you are not. But you are, glory by glory changed into His image.

I figure there is a big need to expand on the "Who told you...." concept. Because the nineteen books are very basic, very simple, just a warm-up. I feel needed to bring that initial step before I could publish the detailed version in this book. However, it will be impossible to cover all aspects and details that can be thought of, but I will do the best I can. If you want all aspects covered, read and study every word of the Bible. But I hope this book will give you a good start.

First of all there is the big question on what kind of sin creates what kind of torment. Does any sin open us up for all forms of torment, or is there a logic to the madness? In a lot of areas this is obvious, since the sin is followed by actions that involve the same sin, which then becomes the torment. That is easy to spot. But in for instance the health area, this is very different. Do allergies, cancer, diabetes, heart disease, addictions, Alzheimers, Parkinsons, maybe even the hiccups, and the rest of the list, really have a foundation in sin? You will be surprised. I feel that more than half of all "incurable" disease, has a foundation in sin. And I consider it could be as high as eighty or ninety percent, maybe even close to a hundred percent. Consider that in Psalms we can read that God forgives all iniquities and cures all disease. Yes, you read that correctly, all diseases. And if the healing of all disease comes from God, we could conclude that the opposite of healing of all disease comes from the opposite of God, the law of sin.

But how many people are thinking this way? Very few. There are numerous people who suffer in disease, claiming to suffer for Christ. There are even congregations out there that will tell you that your disease is from God and that you should suffer through it for Christ. Very contradictory to what the Bible tells us, unless it is to glorify God by performing the healing in public to help the people believe. So which is which? We could just categorize all torment under "suffering for Christ", clearing us from our responsibility in dealing with sin issues. Easy talk, comforting feeling, but might leave you with a big surprise when the "Book of Life" is opened. To hear God's deep thundering voice saying; "You didn't get it, did you?!". But then again, we cannot predict God's judgement in any way or form, because His grace, love and forgiveness are so immens. On the other hand we are dealing here with highly intelligent evil spirits who will do anything to make you believe they have nothing to do with your torment.

Keep also in mind when reading the Scriptures, that we humans tend to judge based on our human thinking. And then we feel that God's law needs to prevail and we will take action to make that happen. This leads to situations like when Christ was confronted with the issue of the adulterous woman. The accusers were ready to stone the woman to death, because the law says an adulterous woman should die. Jesus made it very clear that we are not to execute God's law. After all, we humans can only see the outside of the sinner, the actions he or she took. But we cannot look inside, and that is where God's law truly applies. So if you read Scriptures, don't think: "But he or she did this or that, how can it be they don't suffer the consequences according to God's law?". Or: "I did do that, so why am I not tormented like that?". That kind of thinking could indicate that you are doubting God's judgement, His love, His forgiveness, His grace, and His law. Are you smarter than God? That would be a very dangerous place to put yourself. There was at some point someone who tried that, and his name is still known to everyone, even non-believers. So don't look at the sins and make a human conclusion regarding the consequences that are listed in God's law. That is up to God. But when reading His law the other way around, it can reveal our sins to us. The consequences you suffer can lead you to an understanding where you strayed from God. Which in turn gives you the knowledge you need to return to God. It can actually strengthen our relationship with God, although the consequences of the sin are not pleasant to experience.

Now don't get me wrong here and pin me on this. Not all problems and diseases come from sin. Christ healed the blind man who was not blinded by his sin or his parents sin. But Christ healed the man to present the power of God to the world, to glorify Him. And then there are things in our environment that cause disease. Trauma and side effects of pharmaceutical drugs play a huge role. But where did the initial problem that we take the drugs for come from? The environment and chemical exposure does influence our health and we should watch out for this. A healthy diet, taking supplements to make up for lost nutrition due to overgrown soils, would be smart. But we need to realize that the impact on our physical body by the chemicals that our own body produces during anger spells, high stress levels, bitterness and unforgiveness (just to name a few) are much more harmful. Not just because of the toxicity, but because the exposure can continue for months or years at a time. And much more harmful than any chemical can ever be, is the fact that sin issues like that can give access to evil spirits that will do more harm to you then you would ever think possible.

As mentioned in "Doctor, can you please fix me?", alternative medicine and many psychologists and even some fields in western medicine, see connections between our emotions and disease. However, they consider these thoughts, feelings and emotions to be ours. Therefore the disease coming from that, would be our self inflicted torment. And you are listening to that thinking "You mean to tell me I actually want this torment??", so that I create all this myself? Well, in some ways they are right. It is just that the "all by yourself" part is not all that right. There is an invisible third party involved that has a huge interest in tormenting mankind. Especially since the long term effects of torment lead to more sinful behaviors.

So I will list diseases, syndromes, problems and ailments, to then refer them into categories. This might even be things you would initially not even consider a problem or a disease. An example of this (not included in the list though), which you might find far fetched is that we consider death a normal part of life, and most people don't even consider there is life after our body died. Yet before the initial sin in the Garden of Eden, there was no death attached to life. Possibly a physical death after hundreds and hundreds of years, but spiritually there was no death. And looking at physical life only, even close after that initial sin was committed the Bible tells us men and women lived hundreds and hundreds of years. So spiritual death is the consequence of sin, but physically we die sooner and sooner as well. Medical science might keep us going longer these days, but we are dying from diseases and ailments at a more rapid rate then ever. The numbers are truly staggering.

So I will give you a list of problems, diseases and ailments put into categories. When going through the listing you will find corresponding Bible verses possibly showing areas of sin. I will also briefly list some psychological / emotional areas of correspondence or any relation with alternative and western medicine, if those provided us with insights that lead to Biblical knowledge. Otherwise the basic example listed as first in the listing will provide the basic ideas those practices work on. I will do the best I can to match all areas with Biblical principle. If there is any connection, which I found out to be many in number, I will refer to other related categories. Then I will follow each subject with a conclusion, that could be straight and clear, or still include a lot of guess work. I want to make one thing clear. Since every person is different, and sin can be stacked on top of sin, you will also need to do some thinking here. So link categories, link sins, link torment, and make your own conclusions that are specific to your situation.

And will this book provide you with all the answers of life? No. Then you have to read and dissect the Bible, but this will get you going on a good start. You can figure for your self how certain problems or diseases you have could fit in certain categories, putting you on a road to finding out the underlying sin issue. That is up to you to find out. Once you figure out how this works, you will find answer after answer. The lists I provide here will give answers to many problems, but for sure not all. But then again, God wants you, personally, to gain the knowledge. Finding a sin issue that is related to you struggle in life in a book, and just pray on that is not going to cut it. You study, you think, you pray for answers. One thing I did find out. God is there to help, and he wants to help you too. You want answers? Then you pour your heart out towards Him to show you, and He will. But you need to ask from your heart, which is something I will explain later on in this book.

So all I bring you could still include many unanswered questions, but I feel it is worth to share it with you. Just keep in mind that we have six billion different minds that process everything different walking the face of this earth, really creating numerous more different scenarios. And then we need to realize that gets topped of with our extremely limited comprehension of God's decisions. But all in all, it will help you get a deeper understanding of the impact of the spiritual warfare we are dealing with. Some of these psychological / emotional, alternative and western medicine areas seem very obviously related to sin, but I want to have this backed up by the Bible more solidly. Other subjects might seem to have very little or no Biblical reference, but significant alternative backing. For this last section I am working and studying to determine the actual area of sin. Any insights you might have are appreciated. If you are e-mailing Free From Bondage Ministry with Biblically correct back up information, or new insights that lead to a significant Biblical discovery for a certain disease, problem or a category, figure that somewhere in the world someone could get saved with that information if we update this e-book on a regular basis.

In the second area of this book I will address two questions we all seem to get from the world around us, most often from atheists or people who believe in other religions. Many questions asked are easy to answer. However, there is the subject of sin and forgiveness that seems to spark the toughest questions to answer. Questions that point out to you that we Christians might not really have the complete answer either. Somehow doubt or uncertainty creeps in. We feel there are holes in God's armor, waiting to be discovered by those questioning our believe system. We put up a good show to those questioning us, but God is omni-present. He knows what goes on inside of you. And that shows why we are in bondage. We do not have all the knowledge. And we should be able to sit with anyone, and answer all the questions they might have, refute every attack on sin and God's forgiveness. Christians have much more understanding in regards to sin and evil then the world that questions us about that subject. So stand strong, with God's knowledge available to you. This chapter in this book will give you a good start. Realize however that this could compile to hundreds of different questions requiring answers, all pertaining to the same subject. So I will bring you some answers, but more in a conceptual way, leading you to be able to answer the tough questions. Am I as a minister able to refute every attack right on the spot, without jumping back into the Bible to study the Word? No, which is logical if you understand who is feeding the minds of those questioning us. There are highly intelligent principalities we are battling here, with thousands of years of experience in this spiritual warfare.

And then the last area of this book will address the question of how to practice the casting out of evil in such a manner that you experience the power of God, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit right here and now. Because this is not a "I think I feel something happening" experience. When it happens, you know, no guessing about it. Freedom from torment and evil comes in a flash when God is involved. It truly is a life changing experience. And that while torment from sin comes slowly and increases over time. Also life changing, in a negative way, but the slowness gives us a chance to figure out what is going on. Gain the knowledge, so to speak. Come right with God to be freed from that bondage. Will it free you from absolutely any and all torment? No, because we will never be perfect, and God works in mysterious ways at times. But I can tell you personally that it is worth it.

I will also touch on an issue that has been bluntly ignored by the majority of Christians; Is there a chance to loose your salvation after finding God and Christ in your life? Most Christians claim that once they have been saved, they are saved forever. I feel this is an area that is in dire need of discussing. To go over all the details regarding your salvation, the chapter will dissect the Lord's Prayer. Jesus taught us to pray by means of that prayer, yet most people either leave parts out, or pray these parts not understanding what they are actually praying. And that includes the majority of Christians. There are even Bible translations that translated the Lord's prayer in such manner that it shows the translators even missed the essence. Truly understanding the depth of the Lord's Prayer will open a world of direct contact with God the Father. In direct relation to the Lord's prayer I will also make you aware of Jesus' warnings about prayer.

And then, last but not least I want to finish of with a brief chapter called "Points to ponder". Some case studies, some examples, some points of responsibility. All to show you how to think this through for yourself. Just to make sure humanity doesn't take the teaching from this book and mis-uses it. Mankind is after all excellent in that practice.

Overall seen, just as in the series of nineteen books, I will not list direct Biblical references. And I have a reason for that. I do not want you to become a recording device that can just recite info that has been given. The original Scriptures were not split up into chapters and verses either, that was done later on. If you want to learn, read. Because God does not want you to become a recording device either. He wants you to have knowledge. After all, His people were in bondage because they had no knowledge. If you want to shake the bondage, you better gain the knowledge. And there is no better way then to read the Bible for yourself and find your answers, rather then having them all pointed out to you. So use this book as a reference, then study the Bible for yourself.

There is however a very distinct difference between reading a modern textbook and reading the Bible. Consider that the Bible was written in a time when mankind had a very different vocabulary. And on top of that certain actions and body parts were not to be openly and frankly discussed as mankind today considers appropriate. Topping that of with the limited knowledge mankind had of the inside of the human body, so God had to keep the descriptions simple there, and we get a very limited explanation on issues, especially concerning the body and health. So learn to read the Bible with that in mind. Read it as a descriptive text more than a medical or law textbook. That doesn't mean you should not take it serious. This is very serious matter, just not written in modern age style. Now there are more and more Bible versions appearing on the market that provide us with a chance to read it in a more modern language, adapted to this day and age. I urge to not go there. I have studied areas in several newer translations, and they have been translated so loosely that it changes the story behind the story. I feel these kind of translations work in Satan's favor, not God's. And they have been written because "someone told the translators to do so"...., knowing it would deflate God's law enough that more people would fall for the kingdom of sin in spite of reading the Bible. Consider there are Bible version that leave parts of verses or even whole verses out. Without even changing the numbering. What is left out or deflated are mostly those areas that point us at our responsibility, making our salvation appear easier than it is. It is easy to figure out who is behind that if you understand the spiritual warfare we are dealing with. From all the original manuscripts that have been found and studied, scholars agree that the King James Version (the 1611 version) is the most accurate translation. Harder to read, but therefore requiring us to really read with intention to understand rather than to read it as a novel. However, for ease of your reading, I use the New King James Version for anything that we as a ministry publish, which is therefore the source of the verses I use in this and other books. I do however check important issues with the King James, to be sure if the message hasn't been watered down.

Now, do we at Free From Bondage Ministry have all the answers? No, not even close! After all, God's knowledge goes far beyond what we can ever imagine. But we are, glory by glory, changed into His image. Being a faithful servant is not about being perfect. Only Jesus Christ is perfect. For us, it is all about getting a little better every day. And I want you to join us in that journey.

Sin specific Torment

Before we get started, I want to make a few things clear.

This chapter will contain a lot of information that is derived from other sources than the Bible. We are dealing here with today's worldly torment, which can be traced back to many Biblical principles, but isn't described there in the same terminology that is used nowadays. And specifically in the area of health related issues todays knowledge of anatomy, neurology, endocrinology, physiology and those kinds of areas is so much more detailed. And many of those details can help us understand the mental and physical torment we deal with in today's world. Now I can almost hear you think: "What knowledge does a minister have on subjects like anatomy and the like?". Valid concern.

But I was not always a minister, so I owe you an explanation. Working in the medical field for almost eighteen years (excluding education and internships) gave me a pretty thorough level of knowledge of the human body and the physical suffering that is going on around the world. Already during my education I was questioning my professors in ways they could not answer me. After that I dedicated a good portion of life studying for answers on the unanswered question in healthcare. And that are many questions. Some of these unanswered questions were for my own personal life. Eastern medicine, alternative medicine, so-called holistic approaches, homeopathy, mind control etc etc, provided answers but also raised more questions. No matter what kind of practice, treatment or possible cure I looked into, and even tried on myself, there always seemed to be a core issue that remained unanswered. Like the evolutionist who has to come to the conclusion that if evolution could be possible, which even Darwin contradicted already if we compare today's findings with his writings, even the most basic structure that would have started evolution would have had to come from somewhere. The core where it all starts. My search for this core issue met at some point up with a personal life threatening challenge. This, and the guidance from a good friend brought me back to what I walked away from in my early pre-teenage years. God. One of the reasons that made that I had walked away from God, was out of frustration because church and its followers were in my opinion not living righteously while claiming to do so. It was not a mindset I wanted to be affiliated with. Interestingly it was after returning to the Bible that I saw a message in the Bible within that still lingering frustration. That message was explaining my frustration but also providing me with the core issue I had been looking for all these years. This brought an immediate recovery from my life threatening challenge. I realized the limitations of my medical profession by not addressing the core issue, which fueled my decision to teach people about the core: God and the spiritual warfare we are dealing with. Hence I can now call myself an ordained minister, still being active in my medical profession.

Secondly, temptation is not sin. Temptation is Satan and his henchmen putting thoughts, feelings and emotions in your head. This could even be accompanied by physical responses. It is not until you, as temptee (is this a real word??), give into these thoughts, feelings, emotions and physical responses by acting them out, that the temptation turns into sin. It is basically when we "willingly" cooperate with the temptation. Now beware of the word "willingly". It indicates you have a choice, your God given free will. It is all to often that people act out the sin because they figure the thoughts, feelings and emotions were their own. There are whole groups of Christians following sin, claiming the thoughts, feeling and emotions came from God.... Go figure! Or people will claim they had no choice. But "who is telling them....?". So obeying to the temptation happens either cognitive, by thinking and planning. Or by not thinking at all and just going with the flow. Either way, the actions we take on the thoughts, feelings and emotions are our responsibility, and are therefore our sin. And that is what God holds us accountable for.

Now most of you who are believers consider that you can stop reading right here and now. You feel that since you came to Christ, you don't have to worry about sin anymore. "I am not under the law anymore, I am led by the Spirit" is what you say. "I have been saved, I can never be deleted from the Book of Life anymore". Here are two interesting question that will challenge that (and there are sufficient Bible verses to back this up, but most Christians are remarkably unwilling to ever recite those). If that were indeed the case with your salvation, as you claim, the why...... First, why then is most of Christianity bowed under worldly torment, while we should be free from that bondage because we are adopted by God, as the Scriptures tell us. And secondly, why are Satan and his henchmen working so hard to tempt you all the time to get you to sin again. And don't tell me you are not tempted, because then you just sinned right there, by lying. But would Satan tempt you just for the fun of it, since you would always remain under Christ's salvation anyway, but he just wants to have some fun. Or does evil come to tempt you because Satan knows something that Christianity denies at large. That your name can be deleted from the Book of Life! Satan is an extremely intelligent being. He and his henchmen are not omnipresent, and they have 6 billion people to negatively tend to. Do you really think that if they had no chance of bringing you back into Satan's kingdom, that they would even consider wasting time and effort on tempting you. Ponder on those two questions, and then continue reading.

Now be aware that this input from Satan comes very sneaky. Peter at some point showed compassion towards Christ, and yet He turned to Peter and said: "Get behind me Satan, you are an offense to me. Because you are mindful of the things of man and not of the things of God". Jesus wasn't joking or exaggerating. Neither was He holding back His words because He might hurt Peter's feelings, or His expression wasn't politically correct. He was aware who was talking through Peter, even though what Peter said sounded kind and helpful. And we bet you Peter thought he had a moment of feeling compassionate, discarding that God's plan had to come through. He followed those thoughts thinking he was a good and compassionate servant to the Lord. And next thing Peter hears is Him calling him Satan.....

On top of our own personal sins, we need to be aware of the fact that evil spirits gain access rights through the third and fourth generation when sin is committed. These generational sins are the iniquities we read about so much in the Bible. And figure in there that when that third or fourth generation commits the sin based on the ongoing temptations and torment, the access rights will again be extended for four generations. David told us in his psalms that: "Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin did my mother conceive me". And you will be able to find many more references to the generational iniquities. So we can be accessed by evil from sin committed many generations ago. This is where we can see what medical science calls "genetically inherited diseases". Or where psychologist talk about "crime families, depression families, suicidal families, ....". Yes, you did indeed inherit something, and it might even have left it's mark on your family genetics already, but it is not original to you or your ancestors.

So let's continue with answering the basic question, "Is there logic to the madness?". We could simply say "Yes", but that would take out a very important equation. Our own thinking and perception. It is our own thinking and perception that influences the process from temptation to sin to torment. If we would take one hundred people, and tempt them all the same way, their acts of sin will all be different, and based on their responses to the access rights provided to evil, each person will experience somewhat different types of torment. When we then add sin to sin, every torment divates into different directions. Cancer is cancer and largely based on sin issues, yet there are many different locations the cancer starts, which could indicate another sin area. On top of that most people, and the generations before them, will have followed a whole regiment of unBiblical and therefore sinful "cures", that seemed to have healed them of their problems. And many of these cures appear as being from God, but also there Satan has a very sneaky way of twisting things such that we think to be righteous but fall into sin anyway. If it is not in detail in the Bible, or following Biblical principle but deviating in just one small area, watch out for those cures and healers. I feel some (just some!) of these practices can be used for temporary relief, so don't throw your medication at the waste side. But don't belief that it will bring you the ultimate cure, because then you will place that cure or practice on a higher level than God. So only God can provide the ultimate cure. Because what people that have gone through unGodly practices do not realize is that other ailments have popped up that seem to have no relation to the previous problem. Different torment, same original sin. Now there are just add-ons. But there will still be a lot of similarities. That is why certain diseases seem to have the same basis or seem to be linked.

Before I start on the process of explaining diseases, problems and other torment, I would like to repeat one thing. Even though it is our responsibility to move toward God, we as humans would never be able to cross the distance between us and Him. It is within our effort to move towards Him, that He will move to us. But that means we cannot sit and wait and expect His blessings, His healing, His grace to just magically appear. We have to show we are moving toward Him. And if you come again with the "yeah, but I have been saved already, that distance between me and God is covered already", think again. If you are truly led by the Spirit, why do you give into temptations, why do you sin, why are you under the bondage of worldly torment. Maybe you need to get busy covering that distance between you and God again, because you have strayed from Him. Or you never covered it in the first place, but Satan made you believe you did to make you stop moving towards God. The Lord's prayer will reveal more on all of this in the next chapter.

So here we go, starting with an example (mainly health based) that also provides the general insight of unBiblical solutions. For most problem categories I will refer back to this general example for the "Other Sources", unless there is something that I found to be striking the core.

General Problem: (example problems listed)

Biblical reference:

Who forgives all your iniquities, who heals all your diseases.

Other sources:

Our spiritually being is under attack, so you can find healing through these sanctifying rituals, "Beta" healers, spiritual guides.......

Emotions influence our well being, so we need to learn to control our emotions through aura readings, past life experiences, re-birthing.......

The energy pathways in our body are de-regulated, and need to be regulated through acupuncture, homeopathy, mind-body control......

Our body chemistry is out of balance because of the environment, and we need to change our diet, our environment.......

We have such and such a diagnosis, and this is the medication that will heal you, this the the surgery you need......

It is more difficult every year to prevent disease because viruses and bacteria are becoming more aggressive every year, but we are developing new medications all the time.......

Conclusion on general problem:

Mankind runs after the increasing viruses and bacteria with ever extending research, overlooking the cause of the increasing aggression in the attack and the cause for our ever declining immune systems. Western medicine mostly treats the symptoms which is great in case of structural damage, but doesn't take care of the cause of the problem. Being aware of environmental and diet influences takes a look at a possible cause for the problem we face, but excludes the environment we create inside our body other than what comes into us from the outside. By regulating the flow of energy through our body we address a possible cause, but disregard the cause for the disturbance of the energy flow. Negative emotions could cause this disturbance, but by calling these emotions our own, we basically declare we create our own diseases as if we want these problems. Certain practices find a solution to that by adding a spiritual level in which we agree that there are spiritual influences around us, willing to look at pretty much any religion including Christianity, but taking the truth out of the spiritual warfare we are dealing with according to the Bible. Bringing us to the most high, God, we learn to deal with details of the spiritual warfare and how the Bible gives us the exact guidelines how to get healed. After all, He forgives us our iniquities that cause our problems and torment, and heals us from anything and everything.

With the extensive research through the Bible I did for this book, I realized that pretty much everything can be brought under these categories. Every category will have synonym key words listed in each categories. When you are looking for a specific problem, or key word, think for yourself under which category it would fit best. But don't leave it at that. Research within the research I have done, study for yourself. So I would suggest to just read all the categories, even if you feel they don't apply to you. I do want to apologize in advance for the fact that some Bible verses might be repeated within one category due to loosing sight when sorting through all these Bible verses (repeated in multiple categories makes sense, since they could be applied to more than one category).

Accusation versus Defense: (allegation, compliant, gripe, incrimination, impeachment, indictment) versus (praise)

Biblical reference:

And why do you look at the speck in your brothers eye, but no consider the plank in your own eye.

Judge not, and you shall not be judged. Condemn not, and you shall not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.

For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

Whoever curses his God shall bear his sin.

"Honor your father and your mother", and, "he who curses father or mother, let him be put to death".

And the chief priests accused Him of many things, but He answered nothing.

Do not receive an accusation against an elder, except from two or three witnesses.

So they watched Him closely, whether He would heal him on the Sabbath, so that they might accuse Him.

He who is without sin, let him throw a stone at her first.

Other Sources:

Right or wrong is based on worldly thinking and worldly research. I will believe it when I see it.

Conclusion for Accusation versus Defense:

Accusation and defense both are based on the same issue; a form of judgement. The Bible tells us clearly not to judge. Now defense is the side of which could be said: "but I have to when they accuse me". Take a close look at what Jesus said when He was accused. He either said it was the Father's will, or He did not say anything. If you have been righteous, you should have no need to jump into the defense, unless you show the other person how to get straight with God's word. But in general defense will only lead to accusing others again. And it leads to anger, bitterness, resentment, unforgiveness. Looking at all researched information, accusation causes eye problems, blocks forgiveness and has a very strong connection with a category of unloving spirits that influences lung functioning.

Addictions: (craving, enslavement, fixation, obsession)

Biblical reference:

Do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation, but be filled with the Spirit.

Do you not know that you are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?

God has given them a spirit of stupor, eyes that they shall not see and ears that they should not hear, to this very day.

I have drunk neither wine nor intoxicating drink, but I have poured out my soul before the Lord.

They are drunk, but not with wine, they stagger, but not with intoxicating drink.

Babylon was a golden cup in the Lord's hand, that made all the earth drunk.

The cup shall also pass over to you and you shall become drunk and make yourself naked.

You will be filled with drunkenness and sorrow.

But if that evil servant says in his heart; "My master is delaying his coming", and he begins to beat his fellow servants, and to eat and drink with the drunkards, ......

But take heed to yourselves. Lest your heart be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness, and cares of this live and that day come on you unexpectedly.

Let us walk properly, as in the day, not in revelry and drunkenness, not in lewdness and lust, not in strife and envy.

Lest they drink and forget the law.

For the drunkard and the glutton will come to poverty.

He who loves pleasure will be a poor man, he who loves wine and oil wil not be rich.

Harlotry, wine, and new wine enslave the heart.

But take heed to yourselves, lest your heart be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that Day come on you unexpectedly.

Other Sources:

Most western thinking considers addictions to possibly be a mental disease, although a lot of research is done on genetics and chemical balances in the body. Alternative sides consider addictions an inability to love one self, to be in self denial, although even in the alternative world many view addictions to be caused by chemical imbalances, probably caused by genetic predisposition.

Conclusion for Addictions:

Addictions come in many shapes and forms. Some people consider only a limited amount of addictions, but basically anything that is not a life necessity yet you cannot go without it, is an addiction. So this is not just food, cigarettes, alcohol, drugs and sex, but also could be in sports, health, shopping, money, savings, hobbies, people, music, movies and the list goes on and on. If you cannot go without it on regular intervals and it is not a necessity to live, you can count on it you have some form of an addiction. The Bible relates this issue to being drunk. However, the Bible tells us we need to be drunk on God. So it is good to be addicted to God, just make sure you keep God's law by doing that, otherwise your addiction for God can even become unGodly. Addiction have to do with evil spirits that cause us to look for love anywhere but where we should be looking for it. God's love. And since we will never find the unconditional love we are looking for anywhere else than God, we will always be looking for more and more to achieve satisfaction. Until we come to God to find and understand His love, the level of addiction will just keep increasing. On top of this I want to point out that without God's love you are very receptable to evil spirits of fear to gain access to you. After all, God is love and there is no fear in love. Perfect love casts out fear, because fear is torment. So addictions, next to being a search for love, and also fueled by fear, which is more obvious in addictions to mind altering substances.

Genetically, addictions have been around for many generations, and an imprint might be on the persons DNA by now. Removing the unloving spirit and finding God's unconditional love, and the spirit of fear, will bring much better results than any rehab center will do.

In most places anger management is considered the answer. Interesting is that in the alternative streams there is an understanding that anger will express itself through other channels as well. There is mainly talk about skin problems that would be a sign of anger. By expressing itself in eruptions in the skin. Or a unexplainable fever would be a sign of unexpressed anger. Interesting is that a medical study has been conducted that showed hostility had a negative impact on lung function. Something to keep in mind, and read more about in category: Internal Organs.

Conclusion for Anger and Violence:

Anger is an emotion that is mentioned in the Bible a lot. About how God's anger....... So is anger sin. In most cases, Yes. although there is a righteous anger also. After all, God himself was (and is) angry a lot, and He doesn't sin. We are addressing unrighteous anger here. Violence is a synonym of anger, but I mentioned it separate because violence is by most people considered a more physical expression. In the Bible anger and violence are almost always mentioned in connection with lying and deceiving. From the information researched an angry evil spirit and violent evil spirit leads to heart problems, social and relational problems, poverty and mouth related problems. Anger and violence seem to find an origin in divorce (adultery), a love for money (addiction), fear, and the inability to hold thoughts (and words) captive.

Arms (Upper Extremities): (Including hand and shoulder)

Biblical reference:

The word of God is living and powerful and sharper than a two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of the soul and spirit, and the joints and marrow.

It devours patches of his skin, the firstborn of death devours his limbs.

And make straight path for your feet, so that what is lame may not be dislocated, but rather be healed.

Then let my arm fall from my shoulder, let my arm be torn from the socket.

You broke and tore all their shoulders. When they leaned on you, you broke and made all their backs quiver.

Surely you have instructed many, and you have strengthened weak hands.

Strengthen the weak hands, and make firm the feeble knees.

Therefore strengthen the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees, and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be dislocated, but rather be healed.

Every hand will be feeble, and every knee will be as weak as water.

Therefore all hands will be limp.

But you, be strong and do not let your hands be weak, for your work shall be rewarded.

Our hands grow feeble. Anguish has taken hold of us, pain as of a woman in labor.

Other Sources:

Not so much specific to the arms, but the body-mind connection mostly links arthritis to criticism, and wrist problems to feelings of injustice.

Conclusion for Arms (Upper Extremities):

The hands are referred to in the Bible as the action through which we and God make things happen. For us in both good or bad actions. God makes our hands and arms strong if the actions are righteous. Weak, withered and affected arms could indicate the opposite, unrighteous actions. Realize also that the arms are very closely connected to the neck. In healthcare there is a often overlooked problem called TOC (thoracic outlet compression), that causes the majority of tennis elbows, golfer elbows, carpal tunnels and shoulder problems without ever getting a proper diagnosis. Also the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems play a large role in repetitive motion injuries in the arms.

Bones: (Including joints and marrow)

Biblical reference:

Fear the Lord and depart from evil. It will be health to your flesh, and strength to your bones.

But envy is the rottenness to the bones.

And Adam said; "this is now bone of my bones".

Fear came upon me, which made all my bones shake.

The Lord is far from wicked, but He hears the prayer of the righteous. The light of the eyes rejoice the heart, and a good report makes the bones healthy.

But a broken spirit dries the bones.

My skin grows black and falls from me, my bones burn with fever. My harp is tuned to mourning and my flute to the voices of those who weep.

You who hate good and love evil, who strips the skin from my people and the flesh from their bones.

Their skin clings to their bones, it has become dry as wood.

A sound heart is life to the body, but envy is rottenness to the bones.

There is no soundness in my flesh because of Your anger, nor any health in my bones because of my sin.

An excellent wife is the crown of her husband, but she who causes shame is like rottenness in his bones.

But if you have bitter envy and self-seeking in your hearts, do not boast and lie against the truth.

For the word of God is living and powerful, sharper than a two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is the discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

Pleasant words are like a honeycomb, sweetness to the soul and health to the bones.

For my life is spent with grief, and my years with sighing. My strength fails me because of my iniquity, and my bones waste away.

Man is also chastened with pain on his bed, and with strong pain in many of his bones.

My bones are pierced in me at night, and gnawing pains take no rest.

Other Sources:

The mind body connection tells us that problems with the bone marrow are a lack of love, and that osteoporosis is based on a lack of support. Joint problems would be related to bitterness and a victim mentality. Modern western medicine considers bone problems mostly a nutrition deficit, vitamin D. Joints just wear out, and the bone marrow is important for your immune system.

Conclusion for Bones:

Bones are a huge subject in the Bible. A lot of sins seem to be affecting the bones negatively. As well as in a structural way as in relation to the bone marrow. Consider that within the bone marrow we find the basis for the immune system. The information researched shows that structural bone problems, osteoporosis and deformities, come from envy, sorrow, marriage problems and choosing evil over good. On the other hand we see that a broken spirit dries the bones. Studying the verses of a categories I found one thing to be a very interesting link. In the immune system category you can find that a man's spirit sustains him in sickness, so who could bear a broken spirit. This indicates that a man's spirit has a strong connection with the immune system, and that a broken spirit would indicate problems in times of sickness. We then read that a broken spirit dries up the bones. Bones are dry matter, except for the bone marrow, from which important immune system compounds originate. The marrow needs to be moist to function properly. So bones and that what influences the bones play a much bigger role than just the skeletal structure. Bones are also mentioned a lot in close relation to skin and flesh as well as deep intense pains.

Cancer and Tumor: (carcinoma, big C, cyst, neoplasm, sarcoma)

Biblical reference:

He will not allow me to catch my breath, but fills me with bitterness.

But shun profane and idle babblings, for they will increase to more ungodliness. And their message will spread like cancer.

Husbands, love your wives, and do not be bitter toward them.

Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness.

But if you have bitter envy and self seeking in your heart, do not boast and lie against the truth.

For I see that you are poisoned by bitterness.

He will not allow to catch my breath, but fills me with bitterness.

A foolish son is a grief to his father and bitterness to her who bore him.

Another man dies in the bitterness of his soul.

Devoured by pestilence and bitter destruction.

No, my lord, I am a woman of sorrowful spirit.

Therefore I will not restrain my mouth, I will speak in the anguish of my spirit, I will complain in the bitterness of my soul.

The Lord will strike you with the boils of Egypt, with tumors, with the scab, and with the itch, from which you cannot be healed.

But if you have bitter envy and self-seeking in your hearts, do not boast and lie against the truth.

The Lord will strike you with the boils of Egypt, with tumors, with the scab, and with the itch, from which you cannot be healed.

Other Sources:

Studies have shown that cancer or tumor have a much greater chance of becoming a deathly problem when the immune system is compromised. In some western medicine lines of thinking, but for sure in alternative medicine cancers and tumors are very closely related to bitterness of the bodily environment. The mind body connection links cancer to hate and bitterness. There are many so-called solutions to this bitterness offered in the alternative world, ranging from diets to homeopathic, acupuncture and many many others. None of these consider the bitterness could be because we are just bitter about something or someone, and that we carry that inside us. Or that a previous generation has been bitter about something or someone and has passed that on to us.

Conclusion for Cancer and Tumor:

Medical studies have shown that the average person develops a cancerous growth about two hundred times in his or her lifetime. This could be higher if we are clearly exposed to cancer causing chemicals. The medical world also tells us that with a proper functioning immune system the chances for that cancer or tumor to become a threat to someones health is about one in a million. This would mean that only one out of five thousand people would die of cancer or a tumor. While this currently runs the second cause of death within most of the world, with one out of six people. This could indicate two things, which are very closely related. We have either a rise in bitterness, or a fall in immune functioning, or a combination of those two. When reading in the immune system category what causes a lowered immune functioning, it is clear that we are talking about a combination of the two since they go hand in hand, bitterness and a broken spirit. Someone breaks your spirit, you have bitterness, resentment and unforgiveness over that. There are some indications in the world of alternative medicine that tumors have an added cause in a strong criticizing form of unforgiveness. Forgive to shake your resentment, bitterness and unforgiveness. By forgiving you can then be forgiven (see the Lord's prayer), so you can shake the bondage of bitter spirits and unloving spirits.

As an interesting side note for those reading this during their battle with cancer. Think for yourself in what part of your body the cancer started, and how that could be connected to something you have going on in your life. Is it somehow related to what you carry bitterness over, or what you know your ancestors carried bitterness over. (e.g. Colon cancer. Are you having a hard time letting go of the garbage that you are bitter about? Breast cancer, breasts are related to females. Are you bitter towards a female or your femininity? Prostate cancer. Prostates are male issues. Do you have bitterness towards a male figure in your life? Brain tumor. The brain signifies thinking and control. What have you been thinking that you seem to not get control over, that you are now criticizing others about?)

Circulatory and Blood: (hemoglobin, plasma, sanguine, vital fluid)

Biblical reference:

Deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of the flesh.

There is no soundness in my flesh because of Your anger, nor any health in my bones because of my sin.

He heals the brokenhearted, and binds up their wounds.

Now a certain woman had a flow of blood for twelve years, and had suffered many things from many physicians.

Now a woman, having a flow of blood for twelve years, who had spent all her livelihood on physicians, and could not be healed by any.

For the blood is the life.

And when I passed by you, and saw you struggling with your own blood, I said to you in your blood, "Live".

Your garments did not wear out on you, nor did you foot swell these forty years.

They lacked nothing, their clothes did not wear out, and their feet did not swell.

The heart melts, and the knees shake. Much pain is in every side, and all their faces are drained of color.

Whoever eats any blood, that person shall be cut of from his people.

You shall not eat anything with the blood, nor shall you practice divination or soothsaying.

So they cried aloud, and cut themselves, as was their custom, with knives and lances, until blood gushed out of them.

A proud look, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood.

To abstain from things polluted by idols, from sexual immorality, from things strangled, and from blood.

You eat meat with blood, you lift up your eyes toward your idols, and shed blood. Should you then posses the land?

A man or a woman who is a medium, or who has familiar spirits, shall surely be put to death. They shall stone them with stone. Their blood shall be upon them.

Only be sure that you do not eat the blood, for the blood is life.

But you shall not eat the flesh with its life, that is, its blood.

Other Sources:

The blood brings nutrition, oxygen and other important materials to any part of the body. But it also takes the trash out by bringing this to the kidneys, intestines, liver and other parts of our body for elimination of waste products. The blood also carries the parts of the immune to throughout the body. Any disease involving the blood will affect every part of the body. The mind body connection links problems with the blood to anger, stress and fear of life. In one source I found gangrene, which is a very serious circulatory problem, to be mentioned as a result of being spiritually ill. There was however no further mentioning in what way, shape or form this spiritual illness came or could be dealt with.

Conclusion for Circulatory and Blood:

The Bible tells us clearly that the blood is life. In other categories we learned that a man's spirit is very closely related to the immune system. The blood carries the immune system through the body, which could indicate the blood carries the spirit. Which would then make sense that the blood is life. It also shows us why the Bible then is so against eating or drinking blood. You would consume the life, the spirit. This shows us why Christ said that if we would drink His blood, He would be in us. We would consume His spirit. So disease of the blood are not just an attack on the life, but more so an attack on the spirit of the person. Linking to the Religion / False Religion category shows is that blood is often related to unGodly worshipping, false religions. There are very few other indication relating to disease of the blood. In regards to circulation we see that in spite of extended suffering and growing old, there was amazement that the legs did not swell. Edema, swelling of the legs which mostly comes with old age, diabetes and heart problems, seems to be preventable if you live with having God provide for you. Which also refers to heart health (see category: Heart). Realize also there is a major connection between your circulatory system, and your blood, and emotions. This link can be found in the category Sympathetic and Parasympathetic Nervous Systems. But overall I feel we can conclude that blood diseases are a very serious matter when we look at the Bible, since the blood is the life. If you have a blood disorder or disease, I recommend you really get to work on your relationship with God, who will answer you in your quest for healing, if you address it the right way (see the Lord's prayer, later in this book).

Ears: (appreciation, hearing, notice, observe, perception)

Biblical reference:

Hear you deaf, and look you blind, that you may see.

Seeing many things, but you do not observe, opening the ears, but he does not hear.

Bring out the blind people who have eyes, and the deaf who have ears.

I that day the deaf shall hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind shall see out of obscurity and out of darkness.

Why do you no understand My speech? Because you are not able to listen to My word.

He rebuked the unclean spirit saying to it, "Deaf and dumb spirit, I command you, come out of him and enter him no more!".

God has given them a spirit of stupor, eyes that they shall not see and ears that they should not hear, to this very day.

Other Sources:

In alternative streams there is a lot of people who consider ear problems a refusal to hear. To refuse to hear what is not clear, but I do feel they have a point.

Conclusion for Ears:

"Faith comes by hearing". How often do we hear that quoted? Ears stand for the ability to not only hear those around you, but also hear God. Yet on the other hand, the Bible also tells us that the loss of hearing came from being unfaithful toward God. Did God tell us, or a previous generation, something. But were the ears unwilling to hear?

Endocrine System: (hormonal system)

Biblical reference:

It is drawn, and comes out of the body. Yes the glittering point comes out of his gall. Terrors come upon him.

Other Sources:

The endocrine system regulates many functions in the body. Imbalances in this always result in physical and/or mental ailments, in which it is often hard to find the actual cause. Within the alternative streams the main causes for disturbances in the endocrine system are considered to be caused by strong emotions, especially a lack of love, with diabetes specifically mentioned as a need for control issue. This is somewhat understood in modern western medicine, where the link between the limbic system and the endocrine system is still a puzzle but understood to have a great influence. Yet modern western medicine is looking everywhere for the causes of the influences and diseases of the endocrine system outside of the body as well. This study is focused on influence of chemicals, drug interactions, medications, and more.

Conclusion for Endocrine System:

The Bible tells us very little about the endocrine system, other than this one verse relating to the galbladder. Would the glittering points be gal stones? They seem to have a very close link with terror coming. The endocrine system is a very complicated and hidden system. At time of writing of the Bible, the people had no idea what was going on in that aspect. There was no knowledge even touching on anything that pertained to the endocrine system. We know now that the endocrine system is closely related to the limbic system, that processes our emotions. This is also linked closely with our sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. I feel that for problems related to the endocrine system we have to look at that category and all categories linked to that one.

To go back to the diabetes issue, and the need for control. Most diabetes is related to obesity. Since obesity is formed out of an addictive process, I feel that need for control is a very logical conclusion. There is however no Biblical back-up for this conclusion that I have been able to find.

He who speaks flattery to his friends, even the eyes of his children will fail.

Hear you deaf, and look you blind, that you may see.

Seeing many things, but you do not observe, opening the ears, but he does not hear.

Bring out the blind people who have eyes, and the deaf who have ears.

I that day the deaf shall hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind shall see out of obscurity and out of darkness.

I will even appoint terror over you, wasting disease and fever, which shall consume the eyes and cause sorrow of the heart.

But their eyes were restrained, so that they did not know him.

And why do you look at the speck in your brothers eye, but no consider the plank in your own eye.

Their eyes bulge with abundance.

The lamp of the body is the eye. Therefore, when your eye is good, your whole body is full of light. But when your eye is bad, your body also is full of darkness.

Because of this our heart is faint, because of these things your eyes grow dim.

Lets their eyes be darkened, so that they do not see.

He has blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts.

But the eyes of the wicked wil fail, and they shall not escape.

My eyes wastes away because of affliction.

His watchman are blind, they are all ignorant.

And you shall be blind, not seeing the sun for a time.

Let their eyes be darkened, so that they do not see, and bow their backs always.

God has given them a spirit of stupor, eyes that they shall not see and ears that they should not hear, to this very day.

His arm shall completely wither, and his right eye shall be totally blinded.

For he who lacks these things is shortsighted, even to blindness, and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins.

Other Sources:

In alternative circles the eyes pertain to the ability to see what is important in life. And the eyes let the light, energy into the body.

Conclusion for eyes:

One of my favorite songs questions why we have eyes when faith is how we see. I feel this sums a lot of eye issues up right there. Our eyes are related to how well we see our faith. But Jesus also told us about the speck and the planck. Who are you more critical of, yourself or others. Are you judgmental? It is that plank in your own eye that you overlook that could be causing those eye troubles you are having. So maybe you need to lighten up towards others. And then consider you need your eyes to have the ability to read the word (although braille comes in handy), and see Godly miracles happen, to see the Light. There also are many different issues related to the eyes, but in many verses the eyes seem to have a relation to the heart. The eyes don't only look out into the world from our perspective, but let the light in. So the eyes seem to tell us how well the person is functioning towards God on the inside. Interesting is the last verse in the list, where we can find a direct correlation to what causes short sightedness.

When you lie down, you will not be afraid. Yes you will lie down and your sleep will be sweet.

A deep sleep fell upon Abram, and behold, horror and great darkness fell upon him.

He will not be afraid of evil tidings, his heart is steadfast, trusting in the Lord.

I will fear no evil, for You are with me.

There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love.

You must not fear them, for the Lord your God Himself fights for you.

I sought the Lord, and he hears me. And delivered me from all my fears.

The Lord is on my side, I will not fear.

Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about its own things.

Whenever I am afraid, I will trust in You.

Anxiety in the heart of man causes depression.

For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.

And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.

For God has no given us the spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.

Therefore my anxious thoughts make me answer, because of the turmoil within me.

It shall come to pass in that day that a great panic from the Lord will be among them. Everyone will seize the hand of his neighbor, and raise his hand against his neighbor's hand.

There shall be terror within.

It is drawn, and comes out of the body. Yes the glittering point comes out of his gall. Terrors come upon him.

You shall not be afraid of the terror by night.

Do not be afraid of sudden terror.

Also they are afraid of height, and of terrors in the way.

You shall be far from oppression, for you shall not fear. And from terror, for it shall not come near you.

Behold, I will make you a terror to yourself, and to all your friends.

For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to evil. Do you want to be unafraid of the authority?

I will even appoint terror over you, wasting disease and fever which shall consume the eyes and cause sorrow of the heart.

The fear of the wicked will come upon him.

Fear and a snare have come upon us, desolation and destruction.

You shall laugh at destruction and famine, and you shall not be afraid of the beasts of the earth.

Then Saul said to Samuel, "I have sinned, for I have transgressed the commandments of the Lord and your words, because I feared the people and obeyed their voices.

Resist the devil and he will flee from you.

He who flees from the fear shall fall into a pit, and he who gets out of the pit shall be caught in the snare.

You broke and tore all their shoulders. When they leaned on you, you broke and made all their backs quiver.

For I, the Lord your God, will hold your right, saying to you: "Fear not, I will help you".

For His anger is but for a moment, His favor is for life. Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.

Do not fear the reproach of men, nor be afraid of their insults.

Skin for skin! Yes, all that a man has he wil give for his life.

For if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, but a certain fearful expectation of judgement, and fiery indignation which will devour the adversaries.

He who does not love does not know God, for God is love.

This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.

Love does no harm to a neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.

But if you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them.

Let all that you do be done with love.

And above all things have fervent love for one another, for love will cover a multitude of sins.

Love suffers long and is kind. Love does not envy. Love does not parade itself, is not puffed up. Does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil. Does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth. Bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

Love never fails.

There is no fear in love. But perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love.

And to love Him with all the heart, with all the understanding, with all the soul, and with all the strength....

But I say to you who hear: "Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, and pray for those who spitefully use you.

_Other Sources_ :

There are certain fears that are normal to have. Other fears come along through experiences in life. The severity of these experiences could indicate the severity of the fear. And love is just another emotion, not necessarily linked in any way to fear.

Conclusion for Fear versus Love:

This category reflects back very strongly on the Sympathetic and Parasympathetic nervous system, so it important to review that category for sure! Realize that God did not give you the spirit of fear, that God is love, and there is no fear in love. Because perfect love casts out fear, because fear is torment. Yet the Bible talks about fear of God. That is fear too, but it is different, which I will explain shortly. Fear comes in many sneaky ways and forms. There are many fears that are considered normal to have. The question becomes if feeling fear is sin? No, it is not. Even Christ had fallen to the ground and was sweating blood when Satan tempted Him with fear the night before His arrest. So feeling fear is the temptation and you can even have physical responses. It is when you give into the fear that you make the fear sin. Had Christ followed the temptation of fear and diverted from God's plans to sacrifice Him as the ultimate blood sacrifice that could clean all of our sins, then we would now be in deep trouble. So while we can use fear to keep us safe and not make deadly mistakes without thinking, in general fear is what the acronym stands for: False Evidence Appearing Real. It is false evidence. In most cases there is nothing to fear, but we freak out, because we follow he "who told us....". Check your fear. Is it keeping you from a life threatening issue (although that was what it was for Christ), then maybe it is God trying to tell you something. Most likely however, there is nothing to be afraid of, so just realize that you are being tempted to give in to Satan's message. Now what does fear do to us? Fear makes our body respond to something most people know as the "fight-flight" reaction. We gear ourselves up to either fight or run. Realize that fear is considered sin. If we follow and fall for fear, in most cases we will act in ways that would make us stray from the direction God wants us to go. But there is a good fear, fear of God. Because if we follow that, we will stand stronger in God's plan. What does fear bring along other than influencing the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system. For starters, as with most evil spirits causing the door to open for more spirits of the same kind, the spirit of fear causes more fear. Consider that fear can very easily enter during trauma, when the emotions go sky high. There are the few people that remain calm and straight forward during traumatic events, but most people let their emotions get the best of them. Which is exactly what Satan and his henchmen are hoping for. The door is opened.

So now how many people lay awake at night, worrying about all the things that could go wrong. Do you know that is against God's law, and therefore sinful. The Bible tells you to take no thought for the morrow. So you should not worry. Now you know, but then you are in bed, and you can't get it to shut up inside your head. Do you now understand that it is not your mind that isn't shutting up. That is Satan or one of his henchmen, screaming in your ear. And you consider it to be your own mind. It is time to stop trying to shut your mind up, and throw that evil spirit back to its dry place. Only then will you get your head quiet at night.

Interesting is the direct link to anxiety (mostly considered fear for the unknown), and depression. Has your psych talked to you lately about doing something about your anxiety, since the Bible says that is where your depression came from? Or did your family doctor tell you that? Most likely not, since the medical world considers depression to be a chemical imbalance issue. But if they even got that far, did they consider that that anxiety is not from God, but from Satan, and that the only way to get rid of that fear is casting that evil out? I bet you it will take care of that chemical imbalance too.

So how about love, that I categorized versus fear. In the thesaurus there are many synonyms for love that fall in the category sin. Like idolatry or lust. These are the types of love that Satan uses to pull you away from God. The Bible refers to love in the form of perfect love. The kind of love that God has for us. And we have to love others with that kind of love. The Bible tells us that it is that perfect love that casts out fear. So learn that kind of love, and use it.

Realize that when you experience fear on an ongoing basis because evil spirits of fear have gained access to you, you will most likely feel unsupported and unloved in life. Which will open the door to unloving spirits, with the accompanied torments (eg. addictions).

I would like to bring one more point about fear to the table. There are so many people, non-believers as well as believers, that claim that fear is not a sin. If it is just feeling fear, they are correct. But acting or not acting based on that fear is sin. In the last verse of the list above, this becomes very clear: "But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death". What is the first one mentioned in that line-up? Cowardly. That describes those who feel fear and give in to it. And it is listed with the unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and liars. So before making another statement that fear is not sin, think again.

For the company of hypocrites will be barren and fire will consume the tents of bribery. They conceive trouble and bring forth futility, their womb prepares deceit.

For you formed me in my inward parts, you covered me in my mothers womb.

Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you.

The father has eaten sour grapes, and the children's teeth are set on edge. But everyone shall die for his own iniquity. Every man who eats the sour grapes, his teeth shall be set on edge.

And evil man out of evil treasure brings forth evil things.

They conceive evil and bring forth iniquity.

And I may not be like their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation, a generation that did not set its heart aright, and whose spirit was not faithful to God.

You stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears! You always resisted the Holy Spirit; as your fathers did, so do you.

They conceive trouble and bring forth futility, their womb prepares deceit.

But the descendants of the wicked shall be cut off.

I will not have mercy on her children, for they are the children of harlotry.

My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge, because you have rejected knowledge, I will also reject you from being priest for Me. Because you have forgotten the law of God, I will also forget your children.

They have corrupted themselves. They are not His children, because of their blemish. A perverse and crooked generation.

Our fathers sinned and are no more, but we bear their iniquities.

Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin. And sin, when it is full-grown, brings forth death.

Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin my mother conceived me.

Modern medicine is trying to proof everything by finding the genetic code for it, and how that code can be altered which then creates problems. But it leaves out the reason why these genetic codes get altered. More alternative circles look at it through past life experiences that leave an imprint on our current life.

Conclusion for Generational and Genetical:

Lucifer was an arch angel. He worked together with the Most High, God, on many important issues. I bet you he was closely involved with God's ability to create. With the level of intelligence, knowledge and experience, changing your DNA code over a few generations is easy stuff for Satan. And this should be really easy to understand for those who believe that DNA alters spontaneous to create better species...... So now we look at all these forms of torment, and we consider that it is genetically set that way. Maybe we need to reconsider. I truly wonder, if we really would do what needs to be done before God to cast evil from us, so it will not jump to the next generation anymore, if we would suddenly see reversal of such genetic imprint as predispositions for cancer, depression, cardiovasculair disease, and just fill in the blank. Lets face it, I read that even crooked teeth are listed as generational issues, and this could include cleft palates and the like. But we also see that resisting God, and doing evil things seem to cling to the generations. Is this where psychologists talk about crime families, discriminating families, hatred families, abuse families, families with mental retardation or other disabilities?

Is is our responsibility toward the next generations, to interrupt the generational iniquities from being passed on. To stop Satan's path to modify DNA throughout the generations based on the torment brought to us by sin, so that the torment isn't already predetermined. I guess Satan is so sure about that we will not take this responsibility, that he figures he can just genetically take care of the torment for generation to come by imprinting it through DNA coding.

So how do we take responsibility? By getting it right with God. Not just for our sins, but also in regards to the generational iniquities. And cleanse ourselves in body, mind and spirit by really understanding and utilizing the Lord's prayer, getting delivered from evil.

Head:

Biblical reference:

Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonors his head.

His trouble shall return upon his head, and his violent dealing shall come down on his own crown.

But a certain woman dropped an upper millstone on Abimelech's head and crushed his skull.

But God will wound the head of His enemies.

Other Sources:

The head is through which everything is regulated, since it contains the brain. However, that brain can do very little without the body. Headaches are caused by fear and self criticism according to the alternative market. They also claim that head problems are related to stubbornness.

Conclusion for Head:

There are very few verses in the Bible pertaining to the actual physical head. However, there is much in the Bible in regards to being the head. How Christ is the head of the church, and the man being the head of the household. Very similar is our head head of the body. Next to our heart, it is within the head that we follow God's law. It is in the head that we keep our thoughts captive. The head also contains our neurological centre, our brain. Through that we control our actions. So for the head, even though important to have it's own category, most information should be found in the categories: Neurologic system and Sympathetic and Parasympathetic nervous systems. And possibly some in others that pertain to emotions or actions.

One thing we can find in the few verses in this category is that killing someone for an unGodly cause will result in (severe) head trauma.

Yet in his disease he did not seek the Lord, but the physician.

Rather, that the thing which the Gentiles sacrifice they sacrifice to demons and not to God. And I do not want you to have fellowship with demons.

They even sacrifice their sons and their daughters to demons.

This wisdom does not descent from above, but is earthly, sensual, demonic.

To have power to heal sickness and to cast out demons.

Then He called His twelve disciples together and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases.

Heal the sick, clean the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons, Freely you have received, freely give.

They caused they sons and daughters to pass through the fire, practicing witchcraft and soothsaying, and sold themselves to do evil.

Those who were tormented with unclean spirits, and they were healed.

Give no regard to mediums and familiar spirits, do not seek after them, to be defiled by them. I am the Lord your God.

And the person who turns to mediums and familiar spirits, to prostitute himself with them, I will set My face against that person and cut him of from his people.

A man or a woman who is a medium, or who has familiar spirits, shall surely be put to death, they shall stone them with stones.

A merry heart does good, like medicine.

In vain you will use many medicines. You shall not be cured.

O Lord my God, I cried out to You, and You healed me.

He send His word and healed them, and delivered them from their destruction.

Then your light shall break forth like the morning. Your healing shall spring forth speedily, and your righteousness shall go before you.

Now a certain woman had a flow of blood for twelve years, and had suffered many things from many physicians.

Now a woman, having a flow of blood for twelve years, who had spent all her livelihood on physicians, and could not be healed by any.

These things indeed have an appearance of wisdom in self-imposed religion, false humility, and neglect of the body, but are of no value against the indulgence of the flesh.

Because of the multitude of harlotries of the seductive harlot, the mistress of sorceries, who sells her nation through her harlotries and families through her sorceries.

For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry.

He who sacrifices to any god, except to the Lord only, he shall be utterly destroyed.

To whom will you flee for help?

I will cut of sorceries from your hand, and you shall have no soothsayers.

The loss of children, and widowhood. They shall come upon you in their fullness because of the multitude of your sorceries, for the great abundance of your enchantments.

You shall not eat anything with the blood, nor shall you practice divination or soothsaying

Therefore do not listen to your prophets, your diviners, your dreamers, your soothsayers, or your sorcerers.....

There shall not be found among you anyone who makes his son or his daughter pass through fire, or one who practices witchcraft, or a soothsayer, or one who interprets omens, or a sorcerer, or one who conjures spells, or a medium, or a spiritist, or one who calls up the dead. For all who do those things are an abomination to the Lord.

And a person who turns to mediums and familiar spirits, to prostitue himself with them, I will set My face against that person and cut him of from his people.

A man or a woman who is a medium, or who has familiar spirits, shall surely be put to death. They shall stone them with stone. Their blood shall be upon them.

If anyone among you thinks he is religious, and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this one's religion is useless.

Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray.

All his days he also eats in darkness, and he has much sorrow and sickness and anger.

Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice.

He gives power to the weak, and to those who have no might He increases strength.

But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Lord....

It is an interesting fact that more and more of the modern western practitioners do not consider themselves healers any more. The words that are used more and more are "disease management". And many doctors and specialists will admit that they are falling short, even in managing the diseases. Perhaps that is why there is such a fast increasing demand for alternative forms to treat disease, disorders, ailments and problems. But also in that arena, there is more and more disease management going on, and less and less healing. Therefore new alternative ideas keep sparking up as the new and all curing solutions. Many of those disappear as fast as they surfaced, or quickly become part of the already existing pool of healers. Interesting is how people can get completely hooked on the next thing the Inquirer, Sports Illustrated or "whatever" magazine comes up with. And people refuse to look at two thousand plus years old knowledge. And many people will not look at that knowledge because they claim it to be bogus. "After all, it was written by people", will some say. Well, who wrote what healer or new treatment you should use that you are experimenting with on yourself?

Conclusion for Healing versus False Healing:

This is a hugely important category. Because this is an area that so easily brings in so much sin, all while we think to be doing so wonderful. For that matter this category is very closely related to the category: Religion versus False Religion. A sneaky, very sneaky way from Satan to get us to drift from God. And the biggest lie behind all this is that those forms of healing, other than Godly miracles, are brought to us by God. Medicine, surgeries, homeopathy, acupuncture, aura readers, past life regressions, theta healers, spiritual healers, and the list goes on for miles. Since they are there to heal us, they must be from God.....?!? Right??.... Wrong!! If God can breath out stars, forms oceans and mountains, if He can make all the plants and animals, create Adam from a hand of dust, do you think He needs a theta healer to heal you? Or a homeopathic remedy? Or acupuncture. Or any of the mile long list? No!! The Bible tells us that He forgives us all our sins and heals all our diseases. If your disease is torment created by Satan within the spiritual warfare between Satan and God, would you need anything other than God directly to heal you? No!! So that is the first area where we go wrong with healers other than God. But then we as mankind take that a step further. We rule out that it is God that can or will heal us, and we believe that it is the doctor, the homeopath, the theta healer, the acupuncturist, the....... that will heal us. We believe them more than we believe God. We put God in second place, third place, fourth place..... While the Bible tells us clearly that He heals all (how many?....?... All....!!) our diseases. Take this just a teeny weeny bit further, and we worship that whatever healer, and are in direct violation with the first commandment: "You shall have no other gods before me". That is where false healing turns into false religion. And if you understand the dwelling of evil spirits within us to torment us and generations to come, do you really think a few needles, a few pills, crystals, incents, cutting something out of you, or even someone else claiming to bring Christ along to heal you, will actually heal you? That that will remove the evil spirit that dwells within us?? If you read the next chapter, in which I dissect the Lord's prayer, you will understand that no-one, other than God himself has the power to heal you, and that it is your belief in Him and His Son Jesus Christ that heals you, then you understand that there is not a person on this earth who can accomplish that for you. The only person who can accomplish that for you is you, by coming to God through His Son Jesus Christ.

This is not to say to throw your medication out the window, and abruptly stop treatments. That could kill you. But change your thinking about it. Your personal connection with God will bring you real healing. All those other forms of healing can be used to cover the time between where you are now and your salvation and Godly miracles. But be aware of one more aspect. You might want to change your thinking into that you use that particular form of "healing" to cover the time to your salvation and Godly healing. But then how does the healer that is helping you think about that? Are they treating you in that manner, or are they on a quest to heal you without God (or claiming to do it with God, but not according to God's ways....). They can easily drag you into Satan's ballpark, and you don't even know it. They could be opening your spirit up for more evil to enter, without your consent because you don't know what they do with you. Because by asking for their help, you are giving consent.

"Yeah but......", I can hear you say. I do feel relief from that depression, or those allergies, or that whatever. Yes, correct. Satan wil give you that feeling of victory, knowing that you will push God further away, and believe even more in that particular healer or healing. And the torment will either return with bigger force, or there will be other torment coming back in return that seems completely unrelated to the first problem. Maybe that new torment will have add-ons, extra's. And the world will sympathise with you, saying, "Unlucky you, just got cured from that.... and now getting struck with this. Poor you". Be very careful if you are at this point. Because now you easily open the door to more evil, by giving in to an evil spirit of self pity. And once you have reached that point, it will be very hard to turn back. Because self pity gives you such and incentive to keep that evil spirit with you, because you have great worldly benefit from it. Sympathy from the people around you. And anyone confronting you with this, you will accuse them of not believing how ill you are, how you have no control over your sickness. You will deny their wisdom (and if you are in that position, you will are probably denying these words already by reading this). And you will tell those willing to listen how bad of a person I am (or that someone confronting you). So you can get more sympathy and dive even deeper in your self pity, until there is not even a desire within you anymore to actually get healed. This is where the most intense versions of auto-immune disease develop, those who are allergic to anything and everything (more on that in the category: Immune System).

One of the biggest influences on the health of the heart is the health of our weight and the health of our endurance. Although it is common knowledge that obesity leads to an increased risk for heart disease, the medical world has been going back an forth on a few opinions there as well. For some time there was talk that it was better to be a little heavy compared to being too thin. Exercise has been promoted, yet the masses do not follow this advice. And of those following it there are people that overdo it. There are those that strain themselves so hard that they actually damage their heart in the process. In general the medical world does know that stress increases the risk for heart disease. Interestingly they will prescribe medication to lower the blood pressure, rather than tackle the stressor. Yet in those practices where they do eliminate the stressors, the general conclusion is that it is not the actual amount of stress but how we perceive the stress that counts. More alternative resources say the same thing as the conventional medical world, but they also relate heart problems more particularly to stress over money and feeling important. I feel the stress issue is very real. And also that how we perceive the stress is thinking in the right direction. There just needs to be an understanding where that stress is truly coming from. "Who is telling...." to feel stressed?

Conclusion for Heart:

I could repeat about half of all the verses above to cover all the different heart problems. The general picture seems to be that a healthy heart comes by choosing God, and an unhealthy heart comes from choosing sin. Read in the verses for specific details such as: a hardened heart (stenosis of the heart valves or blockage of the coronary arteries?), a failing heart (heart attack?), a fat heart (obesity) a faint heart (weak heart muscle), pain in the heart (heart attack) you name it. These verses are pretty clear on what is causing these heart problems. Now there is one more heart problem that is so common that minor version of it are not even considered abnormal anymore. Arrhythmia. Since heart rate is regulated by the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems, I feel we need to look in that direction. Strong emotions have a major influence in this area, with fear being the most influential (see category Fear versus Love) The Bible tells us that our heart is steadfast when we are close to God. God is love, and perfect love casts out fear. I feel therefore that heart arrhythmia have an origin in fear.

An enormous problem in todays world is cardiovascular disease caused by cloths in the arteries. These are the long term result of high (or too low) blood pressure, causing turbulence in the arteries which damages the interior artery wall. The scar tissue, with all the extra buildup, is what causes the cloths that can get dislodged, causing heart attack, stroke, trombosis. I consider that by looking at "I am pained in my very heart! My heart makes noise in me. I cannot hold my peace.", tells us that stress is an important factor. But it is not the stress mankind considers to be the problem that is the actual problem. Because there are people that have huge amount of stress through workloads, distasters and more, that do not consider to be stressed. While others have nothing to do, and are soooo stressed. Consider that there is an evil spirit tagging along, turning every aspect of life into a stress situation. And how did he get there? He tempted you with stress, and you willingly submitted to that, so you are now host to an evil spirit of stress. Or Satan tempted you with fear and worry, and you willingly submitted and are now suffering heart arrhythmia, being host to an evil spirit of fear and worry.

A merry heart makes a cheerful countenance, but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken.

The medical world sees the immune system as a highly complicated system that can easily be influenced and affected by many things. There is a general understanding that emotions have an impact on the immune system, just as our body's general health, our weight, the environment. The alternative channels add to this more details all pertaining to the same. The mind body connection adds to this that self accusation has a large negative impact on the immune system, which from a Biblical perspective is very much in the right direction in certain instances.

Conclusion for Immune System:

The immune system controls our fight against the outside world's viruses and bacteria. When the immune system malfunctions we see two kinds of malfunctioning taking place. And either one or both together can take place in one individual. Immune deficiency and auto-immune disorders.

The Bible does not mention the immune system directly. I think the words immune system did not even exist back then. But there are some interesting references to immunology. That the spirit of a man sustains him in disease, and who can endure a broken spirit. Which tells us a man's spirit has a very close connection to the immune system and that with a broken spirit we are in trouble. Another verse tells us that a broken spirit dries up the bones, which would indicate insufficient moisture in the bone marrow, where our immune system originates. So apparently our spirit is what heals us during disease. And the Bible tells us that God heals us from all our diseases, which is also through a spiritual connection.

So going back to the broken spirit. What breaks the spirit? Going back to the verses we can see that: A merry heart makes a cheerful countenance, but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken, and,

a wholesome tongue is a tree of life, but perverseness in it breaks the spirit. So it is when we are experiencing sorrow and people in our life that address us unGodly rude, either by word or maybe by their actions, that our spirit gets broken. Looking at what brings sorrow, and what people do to other people, I feel that verbal abuse, sexual abuse, physical abuse, emotional abuse (and that last one covers a very wide range which might not even be considered abuse by most people), is then what breaks the spirit. Now when does this have the largest impact on us? When that abuse comes from those that should be the ones closest to us, those that should love us. When that happens our immune system get suppressed and we become the target of all forms of diseases. To improve our immune functioning, we need to cast out unloving spirits and find the greatest unconditional love, God's love.

But that does not include auto immune diseases, although that is very much in the same line. Consider what auto immune entails. It is the immune system working against it's own body. I feel the broken spirit there might have started by someone else, but we can have extended that into breaking our own spirit based on that. We continue the process by getting abused by ourselves, the one who should love us unconditionally. We talk ourselves down, blame ourselves, accuse ourselves. We turn against ourselves, turn our spirit and our immune system against ourselves. This starts with simple allergies, extending into severe and deadly allergies. Many people are allergic to dairy products and sweets, all while God's promised land was the land of milk and honey. Go figure! Cast out the unloving spirits, and find God's love.

Lets take this one step further (also see Healing versus False Healing). Turning us against ourselves, it is just one other step to let the world outside play into that. With enough sympathy from the world around us the unloving spirit we have towards ourselves, accompanied with not understanding where the auto immune disorder comes from, we can easily default to self pity, opening the door up to more evil spirits. That is where we slowly start to find a positive in the disease that we have because of the compassionate support we get from the outside world. We start to find so much support in that, that we believe Satan's lie that it is better to have the disease and get the sympathy from those around us, then to get healed. The love we receive because of being sick is more than we ever received. This is where our auto immune disease will turn into a disease that is becoming almost a trend in todays world. It is where there are deadly allergic reaction to anything and everything. Up to where people are allergic to pretty much all foods, all smells, all cleaning products, clothing fabrics, their own home, even up to allergies to water on the skin so the person is unable to wash him or her self. The problem with this extensive of a level of auto immune disease, is that it involves an evil spirit of self pity. In the effort to make the person aware of the position he or she is in, the spirit of self pity will jump into the defense and do everything to keep the person where he or she is. It is the self pity that will make it impossible for the person to understand the need for finding God's love over the love of self pity in combination with the sympathy from the world around. Realize that even this intense of a level of immune disorders, it starts out with someone breaking the spirit and letting in unloving evil spirits.

An interesting subject in all this is HIV, which I do want to touch on. Especially since it seems so different from other immune disorders. HIV is a virus that shuts down the body's own immune system, which then becomes AIDS (acquired immune deficiency syndrom). Science tells us that animals infected with HIV, or then called SIV, will very rarely develop AIDS, even in those animals that we evolved from according to certain beliefs. Evolutionists are calling it "an error in evolution of humans". Only when the conditions for the SIV are made very favorable does it turn into a deathly infection for animals. But scientists are still trying to figure out why it is so deadly for humans. While the Bible gives us the answer straight and clear. How is HIV transferred? Through sexual contact or blood contact, with the last one being the uncommon form of transmission. Now the risk for getting infected with HIV through sexual contact would not be an issue if that sexual contact was according to the Scriptures. One man with one woman, for life. Anything else the Bible considers sexual immoralities, and about most of that the Bible is very clear: "Shall be put to death". So why is the question why HIV is so deadly for humans so difficult to answer? The Bible tells us loud and clear. But what if you got HIV from a blood exposure? Well, were you sinless when it comes to sexual immoralities? If Christ tells us that looking at someone with lust is already adultery, there will be very few people that are not guilty of breaking God's law in this area. Besides that there is a lot of talk in the Bible about blood, and how we need to be ever so careful in handling it. There are many sins that stem from the interactions with blood. So science can tell us that HIV originated from monkeys, but I think it wasn't a monkey. I think it was an ex-archangel creating the torment according to God's law.

Internal Organs: (Stomach, intestines, liver, galbladder, kidneys, lungs and whatever else)

Biblical reference:

And the Lord struck him in his intestines with an incurable disease.

My bile is poured on the ground because of the destruction of the daughter of my people, because the children and the infants faint in the streets of the city.

Till an arrow struck his liver.

Yet his food in his stomach turns sour, it becomes cobra venom within him.

When the Lord makes your thigh rot and your belly swell.

And make your belly swell and your thigh rot.

But the stomach of the wicked shall be in want.

See now, his strength is in his hips, and his power is in his stomach muscles.

Because it does not enter his heart but his stomach, and is eliminated, thus purifying all foods.

The righteous eats to the satisfying of his soul, but the stomach of the wicked shall be in want.

A man's stomach shall be satisfied from the fruit of his mouth.

Do you not yet understand that whatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and is eliminated?

Till an arrow struck his liver, as a bird hastens to the snare, he did not know it would cost his life.

Then it happened in the course of time, after the end of two years, that his intestines came out because of his sickness. So he died in sever pain.

They have ears, but they don't hear. Nor is there any breath in their mouths.

He will not allow me to catch my breath, but fills me with bitterness.

Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.

Other Sources:

Interesting to mention from mind body connection thinking: Lung problems are related to fear with asthma being a suppressed fear for life. Intestinal problems are related to the inability to let the old stuff of life go. Galbladder problems are related to pride. Liver problems to fear, blame and complaining. Stomach problems are related to anxiety.

Conclusion for Internal Organs:

Specific for lung problems: Western medicine research finds that lung function is impaired in people that have a high level of hostility. Hostility also includes finding fault in people even where they are not at fault, pointing at accusation. So hostility is accusation combined with anger. A common lung disease, asthma, appears often in close connection with allergies, indicating there is a connection with evil spirits that block the ability to give and receive love. Indeed a breeding ground for accusations and anger. Looking at lung problems in general, the Bible tells us that it is Satan who doesn't allow us to catch our breath. When is it that we feel we are not able to even catch our breath when we do not suffer from a lung disease? When we are stressed, or in fear, or angry. Suffering asthma? Consider that you, or your ancestors, have given access rights to evil spirits of accusation and anger, that are not allowing you to catch your breath. Take time to review the linked categories. In case of lung cancer it is recommended to also study the cancer category.

If a man makes a vow to the Lord, or swears an oath to bind himself by some agreement, he shall not break his word. He shall do according to all that proceeds out of his mouth.

You shall not pervert justice, you shall not show partiality, nor take a bribe, for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and twists the words of the righteous.

And they hear your words, but they do not do them. For with their mouths they show much love, but their hearts pursue their own gain.

For those who are such do not serve our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly, and by smooth words and flattering speech deceive the hearts of the simple.

Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience. And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.

These are grumblers, complainers, walking according to their own lusts. And they mouth great swelling words, flattering people to gain advantage.

Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and keep back part of the price of the land yourself?

He offered them money, saying: "Give me his power also, that anyone on whom I lay hands may receive the Holy Spirit.

For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!

Cast in your lot among us, let us all have one purse.

His power shall be mighty, but not by his own power. He shall destroy fearfully, and shall proper and thrive. He shall destroy the mighty and also the holy people. Through his cunning he shall cause deceit to prosper under his rule, and he shall exalt himself in his heart. He shall destroy many in their prosperity. He shall even rise against the Prince of princes. But he shall be broken without human means.

And every priest stands ministring daily and offering repeatedly the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins.

Nor shall you swear by your head, because you cannot make one hair black or white.

Whose mouth speaks lying words, and whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.

A proud look, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood.

For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity. Your lips have spoken lies, your tongue has muttered perversity.

But I fear, lest somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve by craftiness, so your minds may be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.

While they promise them liberty, they themselves are slaves of corruption. For by whom a person is overcome, by him also he is brought into bondage.

That you put off, concerning you former conduct, the old man which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts.

Father, do not provoke your children, lest they become discouraged.

Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.

That is hopeless! So we will walk according to our own plans, and we will every one obey the dictates of his evil heart.

When the wicked comes, contempt comes also. And with dishonor comes reproach.

Cast out the scoffer, and contention will leave. Yes, strife and reproach will cease.

For the sin of their mouth and the words of their lips, let them even be taken in their pride, and for the cursing and lying which they speak.

You shall not bear false witness against your neighbors.

He who speaks truth declares righteousness, but false witness, deceit.

You shall not steal, nor deal falsely, nor lie to one another. And you shall not swear by my name falsely, nor shall you profane the name of your God. I am the Lord.

A false witness shall perish.

Let none of you think evil in your heart against your neighbor. And do not love a false oath. For all these are things that I hate.

You shall not swear falsely, but shall perform your oaths to the Lord.

You shall not bear false witness.

For the lips of an immoral woman drip honey, and her mouth is smoother than oil. But in the end she is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two-edged sword.

Then I took the little book out of the angels's hand and ate it, and it was as sweet as honey in my mouth. But when I had eaten it, my stomach became bitter.

Though evil is sweet in his mouth, and he hides it under his tongue.

How sweet are Your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth!

The wise in heart will be called prudent, and sweetness of the lips increases learning.

Pleasant words are like a honeycomb, sweetness to the soul and health to the bones.

And He said to me; "Son of man, feed you belly, and fill your stomach with this scroll that I give you". So I ate it, and it was in my mouth like honey in sweetness.

But solid foods belong to those that are full of age, that is, those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

But if any widow has children or grandchildren, let them first learn to show piety at home and to repay their parents. For this is good and acceptable before God.

He who sends a message by the hand of a fool cuts off his own feet and drinks violence.

I the same day I will punish all those who leap over the threshold, who fill their master's houses with violence and deceit.

For her rich men are full of violence, her inhabitants have spoken lies, and their tongue is deceitful in their mouth.

And appoint elders in every city as I commanded you: If a man is blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of dissipation or insubordination.

You who preach that a man should not steal, do you steal?

A wholesome tongue is a tree of life, but perverseness in it breaks the spirit.

If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

Who can say; "I have made my heart clean, I am pure from my sin"?.

He who covers his sins will not prosper.

For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it killed me.

But he who doubts is condemned if he eats, because he does not eat from faith. For whatever is not from faith is sin.

As he loved cursing, so let it come to him.

But outside are dogs and sorcerers and sexually immoral and murderers and idolators, and whoever loves and practices a lie.

But shun profane and idle babblings, for they will increase to more ungodliness.

But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.

Leadership is based on position, education levels, rank. And it is no problem to tell a little white lie from time to time.

Conclusion for Lead versus Mislead:

I feel the amount of Bible verses pertaining to leading or misleading people shows that this category carries an important message in the Bible. I feel that is because misleading people, lying to them, deceiving them, is a root issue for many of the emotions that we are dealing with in many other categories. Misleading, lying, deceiving are cause for fear, anxiety, stress, resentment, unforgiveness, bitterness, hate, anger, violence, accusations, pride, jealousy, sorrow and more. And these tie into pretty much all the other categories. So we can keep ourselves and others out of messing up in all these categories by leading according to God's law, or we can bring much torment to ourselves and others by misleading them. After all, the Bible tells is we should not tempt others, and misleading for sure involves tempting others.

I feel that reading through the long list of Bible verses list plenty of problems we can avoid by addressing this category correctly. But then there is that point that we want to, but we keep finding ourselves lying, deceiving, misleading. Consider that even though you are responsible for these sinful actions, the drive and motivation behind is not from you. This is a very sneaky way of Satan and his henchmen to drag you, and through you others, into sin. So "Who is telling you to....."? Deceiving and lying spirits. Get to work to send them back to their dry place.

Legs (Lower Extremities): (including the hip)

Biblical reference:

The word of God is living and powerful and sharper than a two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of the soul and spirit, and the joints and marrow.

It devours patches of his skin, the firstborn of death devours his limbs.

And make straight path for your feet, so that what is lame may not be dislocated, but rather be healed.

Like the legs of the lame that hang limp, is a proverb in the mouth of fools.

The Lord will strike you in the knees and on the legs with severe boils which cannot be healed, and from the sole of your foot to the top of your head.

See now, his strength is in his hips, and his power is in his stomach muscles.

And the socket of Jacob's hip was out of joint as He wrestled with him.

Then the kings countenance changed, and his thoughts troubled him, so that the joints of his hips were loosened and his knees knocked against each other.

Strengthen the weak hands, and make firm the feeble knees.

Therefore strengthen the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees, and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be dislocated, but rather be healed.

Every hand will be feeble, and every knee will be as weak as water.

And he took him by the right hand and lifted him up, and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength.

My knees are weak through fasting, and my flesh is feeble from the lack of fatness.

The heart melts, and the knees shake. Much pain is in every side, and all their faces are drained of color.

Other Sources:

In more alternative sources we can find that the legs represent the ability to move in life. They carry us in our journey in life. Although this is true on a physical level, I disagree on a spiritual level. It is God who carries us through life. Criticism causes arthritis.

Conclusion for Legs (Lower Extremities):

There appears to be a connection between strength in the leg, health of the joints, and how we are dealing with God. If you want to have hip problems, have a wrestling match with God. Want to have knee problems, be troubled. While you could ask God to help you in your times of trouble.

Marriage and Family: (husband, wife, children, grand children, Christ, God)

Biblical reference:

And the glory of the children is their father.

This is a rebellious people. Lying children, children who will not hear the law of the Lord.

All your children shall be taught by the Lord, and great shall be the peace of your children.

Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.

A good man leaves inheritance to his children's children.

Behold, children are the inheritance of the Lord.

A righteous man walk in his integrity. His children are blessed after him.

Fathers, do not provoke your children, lest they become discouraged.

The young woman to love their husbands, to love their children.

I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.

He who speaks flattery to his friends, even the eyes of his children will fail.

Hear my children, the instruction of a father.

The hands of the compassionate woman have cooked their own children.

And you fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath, but bring them up in the training and admonition of the Lord.

My son, keep your father command, and do not forsake the law of your mother.

A fool despises his fathers instruction, but he who receives correction is prudent.

When my father and my mother forsake me, then the Lord wil take care of me.

An excellent wife is the crown of her husband.

Whoever divorces his wife, and marries another, commits adultery.

Husbands, like wise, dwell with them with understanding, giving honor to the wife, as to the weaker vessel.

Husbands, love your wives, and do not be bitter toward them.

This is the law of jealousy, when a wife while under her husbands authority, goes astray and defiles herself.

Let the husband render to his wife the affection due to her, and likewise also the wife to her husband.

The wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does. And likewise the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does.

A wife is not to depart from her husband.

So husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.

They even sacrifice their sons and their daughters to demons.

Jealousy is a husbands fury.

For the Lord God of Israel says that He hates divorce, for it covers one's garment with violence, Says the Lord of hosts. Therefore take heed to your spirit, that you do not deal treacherously.

Marriage is honorable among all, and the bed undefiled, but fornicators and adulterers God will judge.

And I will judge you as women who break wedlock or shed blood are judged. I will bring blood upon you in fury and jealousy.

An excellent wife is the crown of her husband, but she who causes shame is like rottenness in his bones.

He who mistreats his father and chases away his mother, is a son who causes shame a brings reproach.

But if anyone does not provide for his own, and especially for those in his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.

For everyone who curses his father or his mother shall surely be put to death. He has cursed his father or his mother. His blood shall be upon him.

He shall surely pay the bride price for her to be his wife.

Then the elders of that city shall take that man and punish him, and they shall fine him one hundred shekels of silver and give them to the father of the young woman, because he has brought a bad name on a virgin of Israel. And she shall be his wife, he cannot divorce her all his days.

The wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does. Likewise, the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does.

For anyone who curses his father or his mother shall surely be put to death.

Cursed is the one who treats his father or his mother with contempt.

Whoever curses his father or his mother, his lamp will be put out in deep darkness.

Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.

Children, obey your parents in all things, for this is well pleasing to the Lord.

But if any widow has children or grandchildren, let them first learn to show piety at home and to repay their parents. For this is good and acceptable before God.

He hates divorce, for it covers one's garment with violence.

And if a woman divorces her husband and marries another, she commits adultery.

Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery. And whoever marries her who is divorced from her husband commits adultery.

But even if she does depart, let her remain unmarried or be reconciled to her husband. And a husband is not to divorce his wife.

For the Lord God os Israel says that He hates divorce.

The fire consumed their young men, and their maidens were not given in marriage.

Marriage is honorable among all, and the bed undefiled.

So husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself.

That they admonish the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, to be discreet, chaste, homemakers, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be blasphemed.

Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her.

Husband, love your wives and do not be bitter toward them.

As a loving deer and a graceful doe, let her breasts satisfy you at all times. And always be enraptured with her love.

Live joyfully with the wife whom you love all the days of your vain life which He has given you under the sun.

This is a very touchy subject in these days. The divorce rate runs about fifty percent, same sex marriages are an every day part of the news broadcasts. Abortion is through the roof, adoption is considered the humane alternative. Teenage pregnancies and pregnancies without knowledge who the daddy could be seem more common then ever. Parents spent time on things that are for short term pleasure, not considering the example they set for their children, whom they then expect to still act righteously. With a nation less and less in tune with God, law makers are making decisions without considering the long term consequences in the area of family. If only they were aware of the Biblical consequences, there would be a whole different view on this marriage and family thing.

Conclusion for Marriage and Family:

First of all we can browse through these verses and see that God takes this marriage and family thing very serious. And this is very strongly linked to the categories: Order versus Disorder, and Sex versus Sexual Immoralities. So why is this all so difficult when it should be so simple. One man, one woman, for life (and sinning on that also includes lusting after another person, which is also that Penthouse centerfold....). Man, love your wife, woman, respect your husband. Have children and raise them according to God's law. And as a side note, that is not mentioned so obviously in the Bible: Communicate, communicate and communicate.

What then makes this so hard? Because there is an enemy who understands that the downfall of the family unit is the the downfall of God's plan. Because the family unit is a tri-unity with the husband, the wife and the children. Just as God the Father, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. And Christ with the church and the followers. There are many different evil spirits that will try to break the family tri-unity, and I will not be able to list all the areas in which they will meddle. Reading through the verses mentioned above, linking to other categories, should bring you much insight. I feel one thing that can keep a marriage strong, is forgiveness. We all make mistakes, because we all get tempted and give in. When your spouse is not acting righteous, or setting the wrong example for the children, it is time to pull the Bible out, and educate each other. Do not accuse, but help each other improve. Find out where you as a couple are going against God, and work on it according yo the Lord's prayer. Forgive your spouse, since they did not know what they were doing...... (sounds familiar??).

Within marriage, husband and wife have a great responsibility towards each other. To keep each other satisfied within the relationship, so that the other will not fall for temptations from the outside world, eg. adultery.

And then specifically to the men: I know that the feministic movements has stomped us, forced us into being more in touch with our feminine side, and they have killed the role a man plays in the family unit. Now I am not saying women should not have a right to vote, or should not earn equal pay on the same job. But God has designed men and women different, because we have specific tasks within this world. Other man consider it important to provide in so many worldly matters, that they are hardly there for the family because they are working all the time. They are conforming to the world. Men need to stand up, and take the leadership role God designed them to have. Now keep in mind though. That leadership role does not allow you to tiranize, enslave, abuse. You have to be a leader according to the Bible. So study how Christ lead, and follow that.

And for those married, or those planning to get married: God stated very clearly that He hates divorce. So take that word out your dictionary. Not an option anymore, especially if you consider the long term consequences. So no divorce unless your partner is absolutely refusing to follow you in marriage according to God's law. But even then, do consider that it might not be your spouse refusing it. Maybe "somebody is telling....." him or her to not follow God's law in this matter. Marriage is not easy, it is hard work. But it is worth it. And if you read the category "Sex versus Sexual Immoralities", you will find out there is a great added benefit to a Godly marriage. The marriage bed is undefiled.....

Biblical reference:

Every man who is demented and considers himself a prophet.

Your eyes will see strange things, and your heart will utter perverse things.

I will not give sleep to my eyes or slumber to my eyelids, until I find place for the Lord.

When you lie down, you will not be afraid. Yes you will lie down and your sleep will be sweet.

For the Lord has poured out on you the spirit of deep sleep.

For they do not sleep unless they have done evil.

And their sleep is taken away unless they make someone fall.

The sleep of a laboring man is sweet.

I will both lie down in peace, and sleep. For You alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety.

He who sleeps in harvest is a son who causes shame.

Do not love sleep, lest you come to poverty.

And his spirit was so troubled, that his sleep left him.

Whoever rewards evil for good, evil will not depart from his house.

You shall loathe yourself in your own sight because of all the evils that you have committed.

Anxiety in the heart of man causes depression.

And be renewed in the spirit of your mind.

For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.

And if a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand.

Then his mind changes, and he transgresses: he commits offense.

And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.

And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.....

For God has no given us the spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.

To the pure all things are pure, but to those who are defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure, but even their mind and conscience are defiled.

I will put My laws into their hearts, and in their minds I will write them.

He is a double minded man, unstable in all his ways.

Cleanse your hands, you sinners. And purify your hearts, you double minded.

Beware lest there be a wicked thought in your heart......

Casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ.

For a dream comes through many activity.

For in the multitude of dreams and many words there is also vanity.

Likewise also these dreamers defile the flesh.

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.

But the eyes of the wicked will fail, and they shall not escape, and their hope, loss of life.

The Lord will strike you with madness and blindness and confusion of the heart.

For dreams come through much activity, and a fool's voice is known by his many words.

Whoever has no rule over his own spirit, is like a city broken down, without walls.
His trouble shall return upon his head, and his violent dealing shall come down on his own crown.

In conventional medicine, mental and emotional issues are either related to past experiences, genetics or chemical imbalances. The mind body connection tells us that mental and emotional problems find their root in helplessness.

Conclusion for Mental and Emotional:

Even though the Bible tells us that if we just break one part of the law we are guilty of breaking it all, I feel that this category is probably the most important area of this whole book. No reason to skip all the other stuff, because that is still part of God's law as well, but this is a hugely important category. The mental and emotional suffering of mankind is such a fast growing problem, that it is just staggering. In the United States the number one prescribed drugs is anti-depressants. Mental hospitals as well as other facilities to treat mental and emotional problems are booked full all over the place. Suicide is within the top ten causes of death in the United States, which speaks for itself.

The medical world is looking at genetics, chemical balances in the body, and anything else they can find to hopefully at some point find a cure for this rapidly expanding problem. The alternative world of healing is not coming up with too many solutions either. And yet from a Biblical standpoint the answers for this category are so obviously simple and profound. Let me start explaining by just one simple question. How does Satan tempt us? He tempts us by putting thoughts, feelings and emotions in our head, possibly followed with physical responses. So the main entry point is our mind. So where do you think the hallucinations, depressive thoughts, worries, sleepless nights, suicidal thoughts, multiple personalities, anger spells, fears, loss of memory, low self esteem, nightmares, needs, desires, addictions, ...... come from???

Let me touch on just one of the mental emotional problems that is taking the world by storm right now. Depression. Yes, I know that the medical world will tell you that you have a chemical imbalance that causes your depression. Yet, looking at another subject, if I would tell your doctor that you have stress because you have high blood pressure he would declare me insane for thinking that way. It is the emotional state of stress that causes the physical response of high blood pressure. Yet that insane way of thinking, that the stress would be caused by high blood pressure, is exactly how the medical world thinks when considering the cause for the depression. Physical first, then that triggers the emotional state. Think the other way around. First the emotional state, then comes the chemical imbalance. But since the medical world is already unable to deal with taking care of the emotion of stress for high blood pressure, how would they deal with the depressive emotions? So lets do the same thing as with the high blood pressure issue. Just pour more medication in there. Now people with depression can at least smile while they feel like crap (excuse my language here...).

I think that if the medical world was willing to understand the source of the emotions, that many of the mental and emotional problems would be looked upon very different. But that would require believing that Satan and his henchmen have a right to access that person suffering from the mental or emotional problem, and torment them whenever Satan or those other evil spirits feel like it. So how do you get healed from your mental and emotional problems. Start with realizing the thoughts, feeling, emotions, other voices and all that stuff, isn't you, but someone else that is telling you and tormenting you that way. Then connect with God, kick Satan and his henchmen out.

I do realize that with certain mental and emotional conditions it is impossible for the person in that position to understand God's word and have the ability to actively take action against evil. In that case the parents of that person are the initial responsible party. If they are not available, someone very closely related to the afflicted individual could take action, but it still depends on the person self what the long term results will be.

Mouth: (teeth, tongue, words, speech, expressions)

Biblical reference:

Their throat is an open tomb, with their tongues they have practiced deceit. The poison of asps is under their lips.

You are snared by the words of your mouth, you are taken by the words of your mouth.

The mouth of the righteous is a well of life. But violence covers the mouth of the wicked.

Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness.

For your iniquity teaches your mouth.

That you turn your spirit against God, and let such words go out of your mouth.

Though evil is sweet in his mouth, and he hides it under his tongue.

You give your mouth to evil and your tongue frames deceit.

A worthless person. A wicked man, walks with a perverse mouth.

Whoever guards his mouth and tongue, keeps his soul from troubles.

But those things which proceed out of the mouth come from the heart and they defile the man.

There is no faithfulness in their mouths, their inward part is destruction.

The hypocrite with his mouth destroys his neighbor, but through knowledge righteousness will be delivered.

In the mouth of a fool is a rod of pride.

A fool's mouth is his destruction. And his lips are the snare of his soul.

A man's stomach shall be satisfied from the fruit of his mouth.

There is no speech nor language where their voice is not heard.

He deprives the trusted ones of speech.

Why do I have my flesh in my teeth, and put my life in my hands.

He has also broken my teeth with gravel.

When they heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and gnashed at him with their teeth.

I lie among the sons of man who are set on fire. Whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.

Break their teeth in their mouth, O God.

There is a generation whose teeth are like swords.

The father has eaten sour grapes, and the children's teeth are set on edge. But everyone shall die for his own iniquity. Every man who eats the sour grapes, his teeth shall be set on edge.

Also I gave you cleanness of teeth in all your cities.

I will take away the blood from his mouth, and the abominations from between his teeth.

And He was casting out a demon, and it was mute. So it was, when the demon had gone out, that the mute spoke.

But no man can tame the tongue. It is unruly evil, full of deadly poison.

Teacher, I brought You my son, who has a mute spirit.

He rebuked the unclean spirit saying to it, "Deaf and dumb spirit, I command you, come out of him and enter him no more!".

Therefore I will not restrain my mouth, I will speak in the anguish of my spirit, I will complain in the bitterness of my soul.

Their throat is an open tomb, with their tongue they have practiced deceit.

Other Sources:

The mouth is what brings nutrition and therefore life into the body. And the teeth are needed tools to make that food accessible for our stomach. The alternative world considers the mouth to also be the pathway for new ideas, while the teeth help with the decision process.

Conclusion for Mouth:

The mouth brings along a huge issue. Chist told us that it is the things that proceed out of the mouth that defile the man. So the mouth is much more than just for the intake of nutrition. The mouth brings forth more than it takes in. And it is within that that we see many Biblical references. Therefore the importance to study the categories that can be connected with the mouth, listed below. Diseases of the mouth, including the teeth and gums, are related to the expression through the mouth. Medically we know that there is a relation between diseases of the mouth and the health of the stomach and intestinal tract. What is the fruit of your mouth? Do you spread something with your mouth, and then are surprised that that same thing eventually torments you?

Now there is one specific teeth problem that in regular medicine is mostly considered a neurologic problem, or a stress related issue. Bruxism, or grinding teeth while sleeping, affect millions and millions of people. Realize that there is only one place where the gnashing of teeth takes place according to Biblical principle. So what is tormenting the person at night, that they are grinding their teeth?

Interesting is the relation between eating the sour grapes (impatience, or taken fruit that wasn't ripe yet which could be an indication of sexual immoralities with minors) and the teeth on edge (crooked teeth, cleft palate). The Bible tells us that verse should not be used in Israel anymore as long God is alive. Does that mean it still is enforced outside of Israel?

Mutilation: (tattoos, piercing, scarring, self-flagellation, biting, cutting, burning, enhancing surgeries, sex transformation surgeries)

Biblical reference:

Why do I have my flesh in my teeth, and put my life in my hands.

Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of mutilation.

Do you not know that you are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?

So they cried aloud, and cut themselves, as was their custom, with knives and lances, until blood gushed out of them.

You shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor tattoo any marks on you.

They shall not make any bald place on their heads, nor shall they shave the edges of their beards nor make any cuttings in their flesh.

Why do I take my flesh in my teeth, and put my life in my hands?

Other Sources:

Body art. And in many shapes and forms. Because it looks cool, improves your image, makes you look sexier. And then, if we are not satisfied with ourselves yet, we can have any part of our body altered into anything we want to.

Conclusion for Mutilation:

I have heard it said by many people who had some tattoo done to them. It is addictive. The same is heard for piercing, scarring, cutting and the rest. Guess why! Because it is sin, and once you have committed that sin and you did not repent for it, and worked to overcome your mutilation issue, you have given Satan and his henchmen the right to not just tempt you into another mutilation action, but they can actually torment you to a point where you will fall for the temptation of mutilating yourself without much resistance.

It just simply baffles me to see so-called born again Christians with tattoos of crosses, praying hands, the words "forgiven" or "love" permanently imbedded in their skin. They had that done after they were saved, claiming to do that for the Lord. Apparently they considered themselves so immune to sin that they saw no reason to understand the "nor tattoo any marks on you". "But Christ died for my sins". Yeah, but that doesn't make that you can just willingly sin. God forbids that.

So does this also count for breasts enlargements, nose jobs, hair implants, an "add-a-dick-to-me". Even though that doesn't always seem like it, yes. Now you might say: "But Christ told us that if our hand causes us to sin, to cut it off. Or if our eye causes us to sin, to pluck it out. So if we have a body part that we are unhappy with, shouldn't we just alter it so that we are happy with it?". Nice thinking, nice twist. Maybe you should take it more literal, and instead of altering your nose, or you breasts, or your whatever, just cut it off. But that is not what Christ meant. In all of Christ's teaching his main message was to repent and overcome. Why do you not like that body part? Is "someone telling....." you? Therefore that body part is becoming a cause of sin. While God loves you just the way your are! Rid yourself of these sinful thoughts, overcome your unhappiness about it. "yeah, but the unhappiness about my ..... is just haunting me. Then you might have given in too often already, and an evil spirit has a right to access you and torment you about your physical "flaws".

On another note I want to bring a very difficult subject to the table. A large part of my time in my medical profession deals with the severely disabled. Mental disabilities and physical disabilities, most often a combination. Many of these individual suffer from self-mutilation problems. They also suffer from many more problems that can be traced back to Biblical concepts related to sin. I know I should touch on this many other categories, but since the self mutilation is such an obvious and often gruesome behavior I felt the need to bring it up here. Parents of these individuals should take a Biblical stand for their children, even when they are grown-up adults already, since these severely disabled are most often unable to understand the Biblical concepts behind their problems. And their problems are many, because they are most of the unable to resist Satan's temptations. It is the responsibility of the parents to cover their disabled loved one on a spiritual level. This could take care of many behavioral support plans that are written to implement strategies to reduce certain behaviors.

Neck:

Biblical reference:

Nevertheless they would not hear, but stiffened their necks, like the necks of their fathers, who did not believe in the Lord their God.

Do not lift up your horn on high, do not speak with a stiff neck.

Because I knew that you were obstinate, and your neck was an iron sinew, and your brow bronze.

Therefore circumcise the foreskin of your heart, and be stiff-necked no longer.

But they and out fathers acted proudly, hardened their necks, and did not heed Your commandments.

He who is often rebuked, and hardens his neck, will suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy.

Yet they did not obey Me or incline their ear, but stiffened their neck. They did worse than their fathers.

And the Lord said to Moses: "I have seen this people, and indeed it is a stiff-necked people".

Lest I consume you on the way, for you are a stiff-necked people.

Therefore understand that the Lord your God is not giving you this good land to possess because of your righteousness, for you are a stiff-necked people.

But he stiffened his neck and hardened his heart against turning to the Lord God of Israel.

You stiff-necked and uncircumcised in heart and ears! You always resisted the Holy Spirit; as your fathers did, so do you.

If now I have found grace in Your sight, O Lord, let my Lord, I pray, go among us, even though we are stiff-necked people. And pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us as Your inheritance.

And they were not mindful of Your wonders that You did among them, but they hardened their necks.

And He will put a yoke of iron on your neck until He has destroyed you.

Keep sound wisdom and discretion. So they will be life to your soul, and grace to your neck.

Other Sources:

The more alternative ways of thinking relate neck problems to stubbornness, guilt and burdens.

Conclusion for Neck:

The neck is a narrow gateway connecting the head with the rest of the body. From an anatomical standpoint it is probably the most crowded area of the body. This also means that any problems in the neck often reflect on other areas of the body, especially the head and the arms (upper extremities). As we can read there are many references to the neck in the Bible. Pretty much all of them relate back to an unwillingness to listen to God, bow for God, let God take control, believe God wants the best for you. Stiff-necked would relate more to muscle stiffness, while a hardening of the neck would relate more to the vertebras of the neck. Either one of those can easily create an entrapment of nerves or arteries, creating problems in the arms (upper extremities) or the head. And many of these issues are never properly diagnosed, leaving people with unresolved headaches, tennis or golfer elbows, carpale tunnel or other problems. Understanding that these issues to the neck cause one issue to watch out for. It is very easily to then "resolve" that issue through massage or a chiropractor or a treatment alike. Realize that treatments like that do not deal with the issue why you are stiff-necked or have a hardened neck. It does not take the sin issue, nor the evil spirit that could be dwelling in you, away.

Neurologic System: (Since there are over six hundred neurological disorders and diseases, I will not make a list here)

Biblical reference:

All sick people who were afflicted with various diseases and torments, and those who were demon possessed, epileptics and paralytics, and He healed them.

Lord, have mercy on my son, for he is an epileptic and suffers severely.

God has given them a spirit of stupor.

A people of obscure speech, beyond perception, of a stammering tongue that you cannot understand.

And He was casting out a demon, and it was mute. So it was, when the demon had gone out, that the mute spoke.

And Jesus rebuked the demon and it came out of him, and the child was cured from that very hour.

The demon threw him down and convulsed him.

And when the unclean spirit had convulsed him and cried out with a loud voice, he came out of him.

Teacher, I brought You my son, who has a mute spirit.

He rebuked the unclean spirit saying to it, "Deaf and dumb spirit, I command you, come out of him and enter him no more!".

And when he saw Him, immediately the spirit convulsed him, and he fell to the ground and wallowed, foaming at the mouth.

God has given them a spirit of stupor, eyes that they shall not see and ears that they should not hear, to this very day.

And make straight path for your feet, so that what is lame may not be dislocated, but rather be healed.

That you do not become sluggish, but imitate those who through faith and patience inherit the promises.

And when the unclean spirit had convulsed him and cried out with a loud voice, he came out of him.

Immediately the spirit convulsed him, and he fell to the ground and wallowed, foaming at the mouth.

Then the spirit cried out, convulsed him greatly, and came out of him.

The demon threw him down and convulsed him. Then Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, healed the child, and gave him back to his father.

But the eyes of the wicked will fail, and they shall not escape, and their hope, loss of life.

The Lord will strike you with madness and blindness and confusion of the heart.

The words of his mouth begin with foolishness, and the end of his talk is raving madness. A fool also multiplies words. No man knows what is to be.

But behold, you will be mute and not able to speak until the day these things take place, because you did not believe my words which will be fulfilled in their own time.

His arm shall completely wither, and his right eye shall be totally blinded.

But a certain woman dropped an upper millstone on Abimelech's head and crushed his skull.

But God will wound the head of His enemies.

His trouble shall return upon his head, and his violent dealing shall come down on his own crown.

Therefore all hands will be limp.

And he took him by the right hand and lifted him up, and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength.

While the conventional medical world is medicating, trying to prevent, looking at genetics, the alternative world is following a line of thinking that comes much closer to the Bible. There are many references to neurological disorders, pointing at trust issues, quilt, a desire to escape life, an unwillingness to look in the right direction, and fear, specifically fear of people.

Conclusion for Neurologic System:

Just like a few other categories, the neurological system is something that is not clearly described in the Bible. There was not much known about the neurological system at the time the Bible was written. So the information given to us is descriptive rather than detailed. There are however several Bible verses indicating neurological problems: Stupor, epilepsy, lame, mute, madness, obscure speech, stammering tongue, paralytic, withering arms, loss of sight, loss of hearing are the words used. Realize that most of the about six hundred different neurological disorders could find a description in those Biblical words. Especially if the re-word them into todays lingo: vertigo, apraxia, seizure, akathisia, spasticity, paralyzed, aphemia, dysarthria, apraxia of speech, aphasia, insanity, agnosia, rigidity, tremor, ataxia,.... Well, I could go on for a few pages listing all the possible translations for those few words in the Bible. Interestingly, pretty much all references to these issues are in direct context with evil spirits.

Nutrition and Weight Management: (food, calories, supplementation, obesity, anorexia, bulimia)

Biblical reference:

Their heart is as fat as grease, but I delight in Your law.

They have closed up their fat hearts, with their mouths they speak proudly.

Life is more than food, and the body is more than clothing.

Who gives food to all flesh, for His mercy endures forever.

All food is profitable, if taken with thanks.

I have food to eat of which you do not know.

For my flesh is food indeed.

My soul shall be satisfied, as with marrow and fatness.

And in this mountain the Lord hosts will make for all people, a feast of choices pieces, a feast of wines on the lees, of fat things full of marrow.

You grew fat, you grew thick, you are obese.

Though he has covered his face with his fatness, and made his waist heavy with fat.

Their heart is as fat as grease, but I delight in your law.

They have closed up their fat hearts, with their mouths they speak proudly.

A man's stomach shall be satisfied from the fruit of his mouth.

They have grown fat, they are sleek. Yes, they surpass the deeds of the wicked.

Have you found honey? Eat only as much as you need, lest you be filled with it and vomit.

You have given us, just as You swore to our fathers, "a land flowing with milk and honey".

But solid foods belong to those that are full of age, that is, those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

Life is more than food, and the body is more than clothing.

It is good and fitting for one to eat and drink, and to enjoy the good of all his labor in which he toils under the sun all the days of his life which God gives him. For it is his heritage.

Cursed is the ground for your sake. In toil you shall eat of it, all the days of your life.

But he who doubts is condemned if he eats, because he does not eat from faith. For whatever is not from faith is sin.

Feed me with the food allotted to me. Lest I be full and deny You, and say; "Who is the Lord?". Or lest I be poor and steal, and profane the name of my God.

Eat less, exercise more, keep doing it. That is somewhat the standard phrase when it comes to weight management. Especially in a nation (and a world) that is becoming more obese by the day. Obesity accounts for most of the cost in healthcare, considering all the problems that follow obesity throughout the life of the obese person. The medical world is still stuck on the eat less, exercise more, keep doing it. While many studies have already shown that some people hardly exercise, eat like pigs, and never gain a pound. While others exercise three to four times per week, eat with moderation, but just smiling at a banana cream pie adds a pound to their stature. "Well, some people just have a higher metabolism", is what they say. True, but why? And if the why would be known, then there might also be an answer to the question if that metabolism can be changed. Because we all know that our metabolism changes automatically when we age.

The biggest myth ever to hit the weight management arena is the low-fat or no-fat products. First of all the body needs fat to maintain healthy, second of all most substitutes for those fats that have been taken out, are made from products that contain carbohydrates. And carbohydrates (sugary type stuff) is much more fattening than fat. Because carbohydrates are readily available to burn, while fat takes up a lot of energy to be burned. If you burn carbohydrates guess what will happen to the fat you consume. It gets stored. So the new diets are low carb, since that forces your body to burn fat. The problem with that however, is that the brain can only function on carbohydrates. So if you go too low in your carbohydrates, your start to really mess with your insuline levels, to keep your brain alive. And your insuline is the last thing you want to mess with. There are people who are forced to mess with it (see category: Endocrine System), and it causes tremendous torment.

Now new research has shown that some people just have more fat receptors attached to their fat cells, in which case they store the fat. While others have these receptors attached to their muscles, in which case they burn the fat. The question the becomes why there is a difference like that from person to person. Well, that same research has shown that the fluctuations in insuline levels on the long term will have an effect on that. More messing with the insuline levels appears to stick more fat receptors onto the fat cells. Which explains why yoyo diets on the long run make people more obese.

In the more alternative streams obesity is considered to be based on self hatred and that the fat gets stacked on as a form of protection. And there is truth in that. That is why when people that are obese start to hate the fat more, and love themselves more, the process of loosing the weight is often just a matter of making a decision. But many fall back into old habits in a very short period of time. Because "someone is telling...." them.

Now there are more food related issues then obesity, but most of those would fall under the category: Addictions or Mental and Emotional.

Conclusion for Nutrition and Weight Management:

Although I will briefly touch on other food and weight issues, the main thing I want to discuss is obesity, since it is an epidemic problem. Since new science how it can be that fat receptors seem to relocate themselves within the body, I would like to introduce the idea that just as with many other physical aliments, disorders and diseases, the physical changes were caused by an altered state in the emotions. And the altered state in the emotions was caused by Satan and his henchmen.

Lets touch briefly on a few other areas. Nutritionaholics (if that is a word). What I mean is people who will do anything to ensure proper food intake, proper nutrition, proper weight, proper anything and everything that has to do with food, weight and through that health. Realize that all (all!!) food is profitable, if taken with thanks. If you do not believe in God, or consider that it is completely up to you to decide what is good for you rather than leaving that up to your creator, you deny God's divine ability to provide for you. I do have to jump in there with one remark. That this doesn't mean you can just eat junk food and pastries all the time, expecting to remain healthy. The world has been so dragged into Satan's ballpark to make us sick, that many of the foods out there have very little to do with nutrition. Use some sense. But don't make it an addiction to ensure proper food intake.

Then there is also the sportsaholic (another new word to be added to the Webster). In order to achieve health and proper weight they might not pay too much attention to their food intake, but they will work out to a point of depleting their body. All to achieve health through sports and exercise. Or just to achieve. This would also fall under the category: Addictions.

Then there are those severe conditions as Anorexia or Bulimia. These conditions have very little to do with food, health or proper weight. However, realize that Jesus talked about the food that we do not know of. That life is more than food. Both verses Satan can so easily twist to have you stop eating (Anorexia). The Bible also tells us we should eat only as much as we need, or we might vomit (Bulimia). But these conditions are more based on the Category: Addictions, but even more so based on the category: Mental en Emotional. There is a distorted self image that is clearly not of God. And I guess you can figure out who provided that distorted self image. And with these conditions it is obvious that the person suffering this torment has given into the temptation enough that evil has a right to dwell within them.

Biblical reference:

And the glory of the children is their father.

This is a rebellious people. Lying children, children who will not hear the law of the Lord.

All your children shall be taught by the Lord, and great shall be the peace of your children.

Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.

A good man leaves inheritance to his children's children.

A righteous man walk in his integrity. His children are blessed after him.

Fathers, do not provoke your children, lest they become discouraged.

I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.

He who speaks flattery to his friends, even the eyes of his children will fail.

Hear my children, the instruction of a father.

And you fathers, do not provoke your children to wrath, but bring them up in the training and admonition of the Lord.

My son, keep your father command, and do not forsake the law of your mother.

A fool despises his fathers instruction, but he who receives correction is prudent.

Honor your father and your mother.

When my father and my mother forsake me, then the Lord wil take care of me.

Husbands, like wise, dwell with them with understanding, giving honor to the wife, as to the weaker vessel.

Let the husband render to his wife the affection due to her, and likewise also the wife to her husband.

The wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does. And likewise the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does.

Let deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well.

The father has eaten sour grapes, and the children's teeth are set on edge. But everyone shall die for his own iniquity. Every man who eats the sour grapes, his teeth shall be set on edge.

But if anyone does not provide for his own, and especially for those in his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.

For where envy and self-seeking exist, confusion and every evil thing are there.

The Lord will strike you with madness and blindness and confusion of the heart.

For God is not the author of confusion but of peace.

For where envy and self-seeking exist, confusion and evil things are there.

They shall be ashamed and also disgraced, all of them, they shall go in confusion together, who are makers of idols.

The Lord will send on you cursing, confusion, and rebuke in all that you set your hand to do, until you are destroyed and until you perish quickly, because of the wickedness of your doings in which you have forsaken me.

One who rules his own house well, having his children in submission with all reverence.

Whoever has no rule over his own spirit, is like a city broken down, without walls.

But I want you to know that the head of every man is Christ, the head of the woman is man, and the head of Christ is God.

For the husband is the head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church. And He is the Savior of the body.

Father, do not provoke your children, lest they become discouraged.

Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.

Children, obey your parents in all things, for this is well pleasing to the Lord.

For we hear that there are some who walk among you in a disorderly manner, not working at all, but are busybodies.

Yes, there is some importance in having a stable family, but how you turn out in the end is mostly up to yourself. Interesting is that alternative resources consider that balance problems (neurological) have their root in disorder in life.

Conclusion for Order versus Disorder:

God has a very well defined plan for everything. The Bible shows us that this plan includes very precisely structured and ordered details. There is order in everything. It starts with the God Head, God the Father, His Son Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. Then there is Christ, the Church and the followers. And then there is the husband, the wife and the children. Wherever you look in the Bible there is order. Even if it doesn't look like order to us humans, God has everything in order. It is us humans that turn it into disorder, and then claim that God doesn't provide order.

Yet the Bible also warns us about messing God's order up. And if we take a true understanding in generational iniquities, and how evil spirits gain rights to continue tormenting generation after generation, we can also understand that messing up God's order can have very far stretching consequences. I feel that within the order of family, the breaking of this order has a bigger impact then what is believed. It is not for nothing that God hates divorce. Here is the catch. Stepping away from God's order creates disorder, chaos, confusion. Naming this in a spiritual realm this would be an evil spirit of disorder, chaos, confusion. With the divorce rate at just over fifty percent (and among Christians a few percent higher!!), and then the other marriages mostly still functioning out of God's order, the doors to evil spirits of disorder, chaos and confusion are wide opened. So what does this do to the children in those families. They function based on a spirit of disorder, chaos and confusion. And we wonder why with the rise of divorces, the rise of double income families, the rise of less family dinners, the rise of sinful behaviors from the parents, the rise of the feministic movement that is pulled far beyond God's law, the children show a rise in diagnosis that are based on disorder, chaos and confusion. I consider ADD, ADHD, dyslexia, gender reversal (gay and lesbian or gender reversal surgeries), and even possibly autism, to find their roots in going against God's law of order, especially the order within the family.

Pain:

Biblical reference:

Why is my pain perpetual, and my wound incurable, which refuses to be healed?

Your injury has no healing, your wound is severe. All who hear news of you will clap their hands over you, for upon whom has not your wickedness passed continually.

The wicked man writhes with pain all his days.

Man is also chastened with pain on his bed, and with strong pain in many of his bones.

My bones are pierced in me at night, and gnawing pains take no rest.

Look on my affliction and my pain, and forgive all my sins.

Fear took hold of them there, and pain, as of a woman in birth pangs.

My heart is severely pained within me, and the terrors of death have fallen upon me.

Our hands grow feeble. Anguish has taken hold of us, pain as of a woman in labor.

The heart melts, and the knees shake. Much pain is in every side, and all their faces are drained of color.

And they will be afraid. Pangs and sorrow will take hold of them. They will be in pain as a woman in childbirth.

O my soul, my soul! I am pained in my very heart! My heart makes noise in me. I cannot hold my peace.

Then it happens in the course of time, after the end of two years, that his intestines came out because of his sickness. So he died in sever pain.

They blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and did not repent of their deeds.

And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes. There shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.

Other Sources:

The mind to body connection considers pain to be an expression of guilt. Other sources will consider it a disturbed energy, or a lack of certain process in the body. The world of modern medicine looks at every part of the process that enables us to experience pain. The nerves, the chemicals that the body releases, the receptors of these chemicals. A process that includes dozens and dozens of steps where something could go wrong that causes us to have unexplainable pain.

Conclusion for Pain:

There are so many people suffering from pain. Now most forms of pain have a source. You might have an injury, compressed a nerve, injected yourself with poison, or used drugs so that you now are incapable to produce your natural pain killers so that every touch becomes pain. You could have a tumor growing somewhere that presses on nerves or part of your brain, or that rips your body appart on the inside. That is pain for sure, but it is diagnosable. For those pains you should look in the category that the source of the pain belongs to. But the pain I want to discuss here is a different pain. A pain that comes and goes, then it is here, then it is there. Doctor after doctor, and nobody seems to have an answer. Or the claim to have an answer, prescribe medications or surgeries, only to find out that the results were short term. The pain re-appeared as if it had never left. Some document it as nerve pain, others as bone pain, Complex Regional Pain Syndrom, or a term that is used so often today: fibromyalgia. Which basically is an expensive sounding term for pain in the fibers of the muscles. At least the medical world is giving it a diagnosis, showing that they understand this is a real problem. The solution from a Biblical standpoint is pretty obvious, and I feel the mind to body connections practitioners have a point when they suggest guilt is a cause. They however leave out guilt about what, and leave God and Satan out of the equation. The Bible links pain with having been wicked, but next to that there seems to be an issue that the wickedness is either a hidden issue, or blatantly ignored as wickedness. So deep inside there probably is a guilt issue. Consider your wicked ways, or the wicked ways of your ancestors, repent and overcome. Cast that evil spirit of pain back to its dry place.

Political: (government, king, president, republican, democrat, socialist, communist, dictator)

Biblical reference:

But let your Yes be "Yes", an your No "No". For whatever is more than these is from the evil one.

Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God.

For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given. And the government will be upon His shoulder.

For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to evil. Do you want to be unafraid of the authority?

For in the multitude of dreams and many words there is also vanity.

Woe to you also, lawyers! For you load men with burdens hard to bear, and you yourself do not touch the burdens with one of your fingers.

For they bind heavy burdens. Hard to bear, and lay them on men's shoulders. But they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers.

And I do not permit a woman to teach or have authority over a man, but to be in silence.

When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice. But when a wicked man rules, the people groan.

Then comes the end, when He delivers the kingdom to God the Father, when He puts an end to all rule and all authority and power.

In the multitude of words sin is not lacking. But he who restrains his lips is wise.

Do not be rash with your mouth, and let not your heart utter anything hastily before God. For God is in heaven, and you on earth. Therefore let your words be few.

For dreams come through much activity, and a fool's voice is known by his many words.

Words of the wise, spoken quietly, should be heard rather than the shout of a ruler of fools.

You shall not pervert justice, you shall not show partiality, nor take a bribe, for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and twists the words of the righteous.

For they think that they will be heard for their many words.

When He puts an end to all rule and all authority and power.

And the government will be upon His shoulder.

A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.

A wrathful man stirs up strife, but he who is slow to anger allays contention.

The discretion of a man makes him slow to anger.

The wrath of a king is like the roaring lion. Whoever provokes him to anger sins against his own life.

He who sows iniquity will reap sorrow, and the rod of his anger will fail.

Heed the voice of the people in all that they say to you. For they have not rejected you, but they have rejected Me, that I should not reign over them.

This is the behavior of the king who will reign over you.......

For starters I would like to give you two definitions for political, both from the Webster, but about one hundred and sixty years apart. I think that if you read these two definitions you will come to a conclusion that if this trend in changing of politics continues, we will be in deep trouble, if we not already are.

Webster 1828 Politics: The science of government. That part of ethics which consists in the regulation and government of a nation and state, for the preservation of its safety, peace and prosperity. Comprehending the defense of its existence and rights against foreign control or conquest, and the protection o its citizens in their rights, with the preservation and improvement of their morals.

Webster 1993 Politics: The art and science of the government of a state. Public affairs or public life as it relates to this. The opinions, principles or policies by which a person orders his participation in such affairs. Scheming and maneuvering within a group.

I feel I do not need to add anything to how the world perceives politics, and how is has changed over time.

Conclusion for Political:

The Bible is clear how politics and/or government should be handled. Lets start with the fact that there is only authority that is appointed by God. So we need to submit to the authority, and through that we basically submit indirectly to God. So if the authority is truly appointed by God, everything and every way that we are governed should be in line with God's law. We now live in a world where human laws are making an attempt to install morals, ethics and values. While many laws that are written are in conflict with God's law. But because we might be under authorities that claim to de sworn in, and therefore be appointed by God, we are unable to resist the authorities if they rule over us in unGodly manner. It is within the process of the authorities writing laws that overrule God's law, that the state takes control over life, rather than supporting life. It finds ways to control the family, the church, and every other area of life, while the state should be sperate from these areas. So in doing such, the state or government, is attempting to take the place of God. Now who wants to overrule God, and will do that through every possible channel available to him? Correct, Satan. So when we cast our vote on election day, we are also influencing how much control we are giving Satan within state and government. So choose wisely. Is your choice a devoted Christian? Are the principle ideas Biblical?

Pride and Jealousy: (delight, ego, self-admiration, self-confidence, self-glorification, self-love, self-trust, enviousness, resentment, spite, backbiting, grudge)

Biblical reference:

But envy is the rottenness to the bones.

This is the law of jealousy, when a wife while under her husbands authority, goes astray and defiles herself.

Lest being puffed up with pride he falls into the same condemnation as the devil.

But now you boast your arrogance. All such boasting is evil.

The fear of the Lord is to hate evil. Pride and arrogance and the evil way and the perverse mouth I hate.

A sound heart is life to the body, but envy is rottenness to the bones.

For wrath kills a foolish man, and envy slays the simple one.

Do not let your heart envy sinners.

But if you have bitter envy and self seeking in your heart, do not boast and lie against the truth.

Love does not envy.

They have provoked me to jealousy by what is not God.

Jealousy is a husbands fury.

Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.

A man's pride will bring him low, but the humble in spirit will retain honor.

But if you have bitter envy and self-seeking in your hearts, do not boast and lie against the truth.

For where envy and self-seeking exist, confusion and every evil thing are there.

Do not fret because of evildoers, nor be envious of the wicked.

For I was envious of the boastful, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.

For where envy and self-seeking exist, confusion and evil things are there.

Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.

A man's pride will bring him low.

The pride of your heart has deceived you.

A sound heart is life to the body, but envy is rottenness to the bones.

Conclusion for Pride and Jealousy:

Pride is the initial sin that brought Lucifer to his fall. A sneaky yet serious issue. And so are most thoughts, feelings and emotions in this category. These are the type that sneak into life so easily, and can go unnoticed for weeks, months or even years. Very often it is not until some else has the guts to point it out to us, that we remain oblivious to the fact that we act and behave according to these temptations. Yet if they go unchecked, they have serious consequences, and provide a lot of temptation for those around us. Read through these verses, and find out that the torment that comes from giving access to spirits that make these emotions part of your personality, by living within you, affect your physical well being, your success in life, it affects your relationships negatively and go on and on. Repent and overcome.

Procreate: (beget, conceive, father, generate, give birth to, impregnate, mother, multiply, parent, produce, proliferate, propagate)

Biblical reference:

Give them, O Lord, what will you give? Give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts.

As for Ephraim, their glory will fly away like a bird. No birth, no pregnancy, no conception.

By the God of your father who will help you. And by the Almighty who bless you with blessings of the Heaven above. Blessings of the deep that lies beneath, blessings of the breasts and of the womb.

For the company of hypocrites will be barren and fire will consume the tents of bribery. They conceive trouble and bring forth futility, their womb prepares deceit.

The wicked are estranged from the womb, they go astray as soon as they are born, speaking lies.

They conceive evil and bring forth iniquity.

Nevertheless she will be saved in childbearing if they continue in faith, love and holiness, with self-control.

They shall bear their sin, they shall die childless.

They shall be childless.

And make your belly swell and your thigh rot.

They conceive trouble and bring forth futility, their womb prepares deceit.

And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her seed. He shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel.

And her rival also provoked her severely, to make her miserable, because the Lord had closed her womb. So it was year by year, when she went to the house of the Lord, that she provoked her. Therefore she wept and did not eat.

Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin. And sin, when it is full-grown, brings forth death.

But to Hannah he would give a double portion, for he loved Hannah, although the Lord had closed her womb.

Other Sources:

Infertility clinics. Infertility drugs. Scams. Lawsuits over wrongly implanted sperm. Lawsuits over wrongly implanted embryos. Couples spending thousands of dollars to get pregnant, while the number of abortions in this nation is through the roof. Alternative sources tell us problems in all these areas stem from a lack of love, feeling to not meet up to expectations, being confused, or feeling unable to be a parent.

Conclusion for Procreate:

Procreation is something that needs to happen to keep any life form going. Except for a few animal species, it takes a male and a female to produce off-spring. However, that is easier said then done for some couples. Infertility treatments in all sorts, shapes and forms are a multi-billion dollar industry. Yet, the Bible tells us that there is a cause for infertility that is not addressed in any infertility clinic. There is sufficient indication that an evil spirit of adultery from the current or previous generation influences fertility. The Bible after all states that with certain sin, they shall remain childless. So instead of running to clinics, take drugs, perform tricks in laboratories in an attempt to become pregnant, change your thinking. Leaving God's law and the possibilities that God's law might have been broken by either you or a previous generation out of the equation makes that you might be trying to overcome the consequences of sin without repenting and overcoming and coming to God. Yes, you might get pregnant, but you are providing Satan with another win.

Yet for others it is too easily done. With the amount of sexual immoralities that this world is dealing with, the amount of unwanted pregnancies is staggering. And if you consider that there are deadly sexually transmitted diseases out there that should bring caution to people. But the abortion clinics are doing well. Is abortion Godly. No, it is not. The Bible clearly states that God already knows us when we are in the womb. So we are a body with a spirit in there once we are conceived. The Bible tells us clearly that we should not kill. So if the pregnancy is from sex outside marriage, there is sin there. If then that pregnancy is ended by force, there is sin in that. Yet having the baby and possibly not bringing it up in a stable family is also against God's law. So there is a lot more to sex, pregnancy and raising a child then most teenagers and young adults (and even mature adults) consider. And it is your God given responsibility to deal with all that according to God's law. So we need to educate ourselves and other on this. Because, as I discuss in the category "immune system" and "sex versus sexual immoralities" the consequences are huge.

There are two more issues that I would like to bring up. First the fact that many women suffer from vaginal problems, and especially the positive PAP-smears, and cervical cancers, I do want to point out that adultery can make your belly swell and your thighs rot (and I consider this to be in between the thighs, considering the conservative descriptions used in the Bible). Something to think about.

Provide: (support, bring income, put food on the table, cover spiritually, lead)

Biblical reference:

But if anyone does not provide for his own, and especially for those in his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.

You shall laugh at destruction and famine, and you shall not be afraid of the beasts of the earth.

Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.

For those who are such do not serve our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly, and by smooth words and flattering speech deceive the hearts of the simple.

Why do you spent your money for what is not bread, and your wages for what does not satisfy?

And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.

A hireling flees because he is a hireling and does not care about the sheep.

And he shall snatch on the right hand and be hungry. He shall devour on the left hand and not be satisfied. Every man shall eat the flesh of his own arm.

If anyone will not work, neither shall he eat.

Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: To visit orphans and widows in their trouble, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world.

The fool folds his hands and consumes his own flesh.

Why do I take my flesh in my teeth, and put my life in my hands?

I removed his shoulder from the burden. His hands were freed from the baskets.

And we labor, working with our own hands.

And he shall snatch on the right hand and be hungry. He shall devour on the left hand and not be satisfied. Every man shall eat the flesh of his own arm.

And the Lord restored Job's losses when he prayed for his friends.

My knees are weak through fasting, and my flesh is feeble from the lack of fatness.

He gives power to the weak, and to those who have no might He increases strength.

The government will take care of me. Just charge it to the credit card. Hey, my children have the latest gadgets because I work hard for it. I pay alimony.

Conclusion for Provide:

Within many parts of the world, but especially the western nations, we see an increasing attitude called the entitlement mentality. Oh, the government will take care of me. The offices of social security are filled every day with people of whom most of them could easily work a job, but are either unwilling to work, or feel that the job they could get was below their standards. Next to that we see hordes of people charging their purchases on credit, with an attitude of "we will see when and how we will pay for this". And many of these purchases are not the necessities of life, such as basic foods, basic housing and basic clothing. Bankruptcies are breaking records every year, where people forsake their responsibilities to pay for what they bought. On top of that, and yes, we have mentioned this a few times already, divorce rates run about fifty percent, in which people do not keep God's law in providing. "Oh, but I pay alimony". Yes, that might be, but if you think that is the only type of providing, then you are not paying attention. According to God's law, we need to provide for those who depend on us, not just with money, but with love, spirituality, safety, education, health, and the list goes on and on. A Godly example, is what it comes down to. And then next to the divorces we have the children that never even know who their biological father is.

Yes, God will provide. As Christ tells us, the birds get to eat, the flowers get dressed, so why would we worry about it. We are more precious than birds and flowers. The problem is that we are so engrained in the world, that we feel we need more than food, clothing and a roof over our head. Mankind in general, especially in western cultures, feels to be entitled to so many things that are not even close to what God considers important, and we consider that we can screw up what is important in God's eyes because Christ died on the cross for us, and we don't have to worry about that anymore. Well, the Bible clearly states that of you will not work, you will not eat. That if you do not follow God's law, you will never be satisfied. And do we have many people like that in the world. More, more and more, for me, for me, for me, and rather yesterday than tomorrow. Never satisfied with what they have. God warns us about that in our role as provider.

Now don't get me wrong. I spent twenty seven months to single handedly build a nice home for us as a family. We like nice vacations, and we do go out for dinner about every other week. We do not drive the cheapest cars on the market. And yes, I do have an iPhone...... So you don't have to go live in a cave to come to God. It is where you put your emphasis.

Now there is one catch. There is an order to this provider thing when it comes to family. The husband is the main provider. For detail see category: Marriage and Family.

Religion versus False Religion:

Biblical reference:

Life is more than food, and the body is more than clothing.

Little children, keep yourself from idols, Amen.

When my father and my mother forsake me, then the Lord wil take care of me.

The nations shall see and be ashamed of all their might. They shall put their hand over their mouth, their ears shall be deaf.

The hypocrite with his mouth destroys his neighbor, but through knowledge righteousness will be delivered.

Now the spirit expressly say that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed o deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons.

For they are spirits of demons, performing signs.

They sacrifice to demons, not to God.

Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

Then the devil comes and takes away the word out of their hearts.

Do not be wise in your own eyes, fear the Lord and depart from evil.

They caused they sons and daughters to pass through the fire, practicing witchcraft and soothsaying, and sold themselves to do evil.

Each one follows the dictates of his own evil heart. So that no one listens to Me.

They have provoked me to jealousy by what is not God.

These are sensual persons, who cause divisions, not having the Spirit.

Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God. Because many false prophets have gone out into the world.

Give no regard to mediums and familiar spirits, do not seek after them, to be defiled by them. I am the Lord your God.

And the person who turns to mediums and familiar spirits, to prostitute himself with them, I will set My face against that person and cut him of from his people.

"Woe to the rebellious children", says the Lord, "Who take counsel, but not of Me, and who devise plans, but not of My Spirit. That they may add sin to sin".

If a man should walk in a false spirit, and speak a lie, saying "I will prophesy to you of wine and drink", even he would be the prattler of this people.

A man or a woman who is a medium, or who has familiar spirits, shall surely be put to death, they shall stone them with stones.

And if a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand.

Whoever eats any blood, that person shall be cut of from his people.

You shall not eat anything with the blood, nor shall you practice divination or soothsaying.

So they cried aloud, and cut themselves, as was their custom, with knives and lances, until blood gushed out of them.

A proud look, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood.

To abstain from things polluted by idols, from sexual immorality, from things strangled, and from blood.

You eat meat with blood, you lift up your eyes toward your idols, and shed blood. Should you then posses the land?

Then Jesus said to him, "Away with you, Satan! For it is written, "You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only you shall serve".

For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light.

But the unbelieving Jews stirred up the Gentiles and poisoned their minds against the brethern.

Your money perish with you, because you thought that the gift of God could be purchased with money.

Let all be put to shame who serve carved images, who boast of idols.

Who is a liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ. He is antichrist who denies the Father and the Son.

For certain men have crept in unnoticed, who long ago were marked out for this condemnation, ungodly men, who turn the grace of our God into lewdness and deny the only Lord God and our Lord Jesus Christ.

But there were also falso prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Lord who bought them, and bring on themselves swift destruction.

But if you have bitter envy and self-seeking in your hearts, do not boast and lie against the truth.

For where envy and self-seeking exist, confusion and every evil thing are there.

In his self-sufficiency he will be in distress. Every hand of misery will come against him.

Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you cleanse the outside of the cup and dish, but inside they are full of extortion and self-indulgence.

These things indeed have an appearance of wisdom in self-imposed religion, false humility, and neglect of the body, but are of no value against the indulgence of the flesh.

And especially those who walk according to the flesh in the lust on uncleanness and despise authority, They are presumptuous, self-willed.

I have drunk neither wine nor intoxicating drink, but I have poured out my soul before the Lord.

They are drunk, but not with wine, they stagger, but not with intoxicating drink.

Babylon was a golden cup in the Lord's hand, that made all the earth drunk.

It shall be even be as when a hungry man dreams, and look, he eats. But he awakes, and his soul is still empty.

The wicked in his proud countenance, does not seek God, God is in none of his thoughts.

Thus she committed her harlotry with the, all of them choice men of Assyria. And with all for whom she lusted, with all her idols, she defiled herself.

But you trusted in your own beauty, played the harlot because of your fame.

Because of the multitude of harlotries of the seductive harlot, the mistress of sorceries, who sells her nation through her harlotries and families through her sorceries.

They shall be ashamed and also disgraced, all of them, they shall go in confusion together, who are makers of idols.

For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry.

But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the will of God for themselves, not having been baptized by him.

My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge, because you have rejected knowledge, I will also reject you from being priest for Me. Because you have forgotten the law of God, I will also forget your children.

Which untaught and unstable people twist to their own destruction, as they do also the rest of the Scriptures.

For they bind heavy burdens. Hard to bear, and lay them on men's shoulders. But they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers.

Woe to you also, lawyers! For you load men with burdens hard to bear, and you yourself do not touch the burdens with one of your fingers.

For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father but is of the world.

Because he has despised the word of the Lord, and has broken His commandment, that person shall be completely cut of. His guilt shall be upon him.

Yet in the church I would rather speak five words with my understanding, that I may teach others also, than ten thousand words in a tongue.

For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his natural face in the mirror. For he observes himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was.

Then Saul said to Samuel, "I have sinned, for I have transgressed the commandments of the Lord and your words, because I feared the people and obeyed their voices.

Do not trust in these lying words, saying: "The temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord are these.

And they hear your words, but they do not do them. For with their mouths they show much love, but their hearts pursue their own gain.

"Your words are harsh against me", says the Lord, yet you say; "What have we spoken against You?"

For they think that they will be heard for their many words.

Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and keep back part of the price of the land yourself?

He offered them money, saying: "Give me his power also, that anyone on whom I lay hands may receive the Holy Spirit.

My house shall be called a house of prayer, but you have made it a den of thieves.

For the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil.

For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!

His power shall be mighty, but not by his own power. He shall destroy fearfully, and shall proper and thrive. He shall destroy the mighty and also the holy people. Through his cunning he shall cause deceit to prosper under his rule, and he shall exalt himself in his heart. He shall destroy many in their prosperity. He shall even rise against the Prince of princes. But he shall be broken without human means.

He who sacrifices to any god, except to the Lord only, he shall be utterly destroyed.

The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord.

They joined themselves also to Baal of Peor, and ate sacrifices made to the dead. Thus they provoked Him to anger with their deeds, and the plague broke out among them.

They shall no more offer their sacrifices to demons, after whom they have played the harlot.

And every priest stands ministring daily and offering repeatedly the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins.

Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry.

To whom will you flee for help?

I will cut of sorceries from your hand, and you shall have no soothsayers.

The loss of children, and widowhood. They shall come upon you in their fullness because of the multitude of your sorceries, for the great abundance of your enchantments.

You shall not eat anything with the blood, nor shall you practice divination or soothsaying

Therefore do not listen to your prophets, your diviners, your dreamers, your soothsayers, or your sorcerers.....

There shall not be found among you anyone who makes his son or his daughter pass through fire, or one who practices witchcraft, or a soothsayer, or one who interprets omens, or a sorcerer, or one who conjures spells, or a medium, or a spiritist, or one who calls up the dead. For all who do those things are an abomination to the Lord.

Give no regard to mediums and familiar spirits. Do not seek after them, to be defiled by them.

And a person who turns to mediums and familiar spirits, to prostitue himself with them, I will set My face against that person and cut him of from his people.

A man or a woman who is a medium, or who has familiar spirits, shall surely be put to death. They shall stone them with stone. Their blood shall be upon them.

Because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers, and they will turn their ears away from the truth.

These things indeed have an appearance of wisdom in self-imposed religion, false humility, and neglect of the body, but are of no value against the indulgence of the flesh.

If anyone among you thinks he is religious, and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this one's religion is useless.

The idols of the nation are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.

Lest you act out corruptly, and make yourself a carved image in the form of any figure.

Your heart was liften up because of your beauty. You corrupted your wisdom for the sake of your splendor. I cast you to the ground.

Knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver or gold, from your aimless conduct received by tradition from your fathers, but with the precious blood of Christ.

But these, like brutal beasts made to be caught and destroyed, speak evil of the things they do not understand, and will utterly perish in their own corruption.

That you put off, concerning you former conduct, the old man which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts.

Now while Paul waited for them in Athens, his spirit was provoked within him when he saw that the city was given over to idols.

That is hopeless! So we will walk according to our own plans, and we will every one obey the dictates of his evil heart.

They have envisioned futility and false divination, saying, "Thus says the Lord!" But the Lord has not sent them, yet they hope that the word may be confirmed.

Now it happened, as we went into prayer, that a certain slave girl possessed with a spirit of divination met us, who brought her masters much profit by fortune telling.

Cursed is he who does the work of the Lord deceitfully, and cursed is he who keeps back his sword from blood.

Cursed is the one who makes a carved or molded image, an abomination to the Lord.

Cursed is the man who trusts in man and makes flesh his strength, whose heart departs from the Lord.

Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many.

For they prophesy falsely to you in my Name. I have not sent them, says the Lord.

For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ.. And no wonder. For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light.

For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.

But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Lord....

Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves.

Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirit, whether they are of God. Because many false prophets have gone out into the world.

For idols speak delusion. The diviners envision lies, and tell false dreams. They comfort in vain. Therefore the people wend their way like sheep. They are in trouble because there is no shepherd.

It is not good to eat much honey. So to seek one's own glory is not glory.

Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil. Who put darkness for light and light for darkness. Who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter.

Whoever eats any blood, that person shall be cut off from his people.

Do not let your adornment be merely outward, arranging hair, wearing gold, or putting on fine apparel. Rather let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God.

So they watched Him closely, whether He would heal him on the Sabbath, so that they might accuse Him.

And appoint elders in every city as I commanded you: If a man is blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of dissipation or insubordination.

He who has the Son has life. He who does not have the Son of God does not have life.

Life is more than food, and the body is more than clothing.

But you are not willing to come to Me that you may have life.

Only be sure that you do not eat the blood, for the blood is life.

It is the Spirit who gives life, the flesh profits nothing.

Keep sound wisdom and discretion. So they will be life to your soul, and grace to your neck.

For they are life to those who find them, and health to all their flesh.

In the way of righteousness is life, and in its pathway there is no death.

He who love his life will lose it, and he who hates his life in this world wil keep I for eternal life.

But you shall not eat the flesh with its life, that is, its blood.

See, I have set before you today life and good, death and evil, in that I command you today to love the Lord your God.

My life is continually in my hand, yet I do not forget Your law.

As righteousness leads to life, so he who pursues evil pursues it to his own death.

For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but when desire comes it is a tree of life.

The fear of the Lord is a fountain of life, to turn away from the snares of death.

Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.

So He said to him; "Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is, God. But if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments.

But take heed to yourselves, lest your heart be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that Day come on you unexpectedly.

Most assuredly, I say to you, whoever commits sin is a slave of sin.

For as many as have sinned without law will also perish without law, and as many as have sinned in the law will be judged by the law.

Then, when desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin. And sin, when it is full-grown, brings forth death.

He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning.

When he is judged, let him be found guilty, and let his prayer become sin.

Therefore let not sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts.

But he who doubts is condemned if he eats, because he does not eat from faith. For whatever is not from faith is sin.

Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God than to enjoy the passing pleasures of sin.

For he who lacks these things is shortsighted, even to blindness, and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins.

For where envy and self-seeking exist, confusion and every evil thing are there.

Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

He who loves silver will not be satisfied with silver. Nor he who loves abundance, with increase. This is also vanity.

He who loves his father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me.

Nevertheless I have this against you, that you have left your first love.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.

Jesus said to him; "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind".

But I say to love, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you.

Beware of the scribes, who desire to go around in long robes, love greetings in the marketplaces, the best seats in the synagogues, and the best places at the feasts, who devour widow's house, and for pretense make long prayers. These will receive greater condemnation.

He who loves his life will lose it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life.

And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing.

Blessed is the man who endures temptation. For when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him.

Whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is he who does not love his brother.

Blessed is the man who endures temptation. For when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him.

Whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is he who does not love his brother.

Because they despised My judgements and did not walk in My statutes, but profaned My Sabbaths. For their heart went after their idols. Nevertheless My eye spared them from destruction.

Guard what was committed to your trust, avoiding the profane and idle babblings and contradictions of what is falsely called knowledge.

For I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book. If anyone adds to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book. And if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophesy, God shall take away his part from the Book of Life, from the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.

Other Sources:

I am not going to list anything here. The bookstores have enough made up opinions about religion as it is. Most of it is based on worldly thinking.

Conclusion for Religion versus False Religion:

This is a very tough subject. And I will tell you why. False religions are in general easy to spot when we consider complete different religions than Christianity. Now that is of course what we say as Christians, but every religion will bring their own beliefs against what we as Christians believe. I am not going to start that confrontation, since there are wars going on for thousands of years already over this, and I am not going to meddle in it. I know what I believe, what I have seen happen with God, and there is nothing that will change that for me. As I said, I have seen to much and experienced to much to ever be persuaded that God doesn't exist.

It becomes a little more complicated already when we start looking at worshipping things that are not considered religious. When we go to an aura reader, grab a ouija board, consulting a medium, create idols, visite the shaman, or the........ It is within believing that these things will provide you with a spiritually correct experience, that you are opening the door to Satan and his henchmen, because you are placing these things at a higher level than God. And even if you consider God to still be bigger, then the questions arises why you would go to these other channels, and not directly to God, so you are just kidding yourself. And the Bible is very clear about consulting through these channels. So first of all you sin against God. But secondly you are working on a spiritual issue, and you are opening yourself up to something you might not even understand. There are many people out there going through these spiritual ways, claiming to have contact with spirits from ancestors. Or they contact spirits to learn about past lives. And they might actually get information that can be traced back to ancestors, and does relate to the past. It can even include details that proof that this spiritual journey is correct. And his whole process indeed includes contact with spirits. But what these people don't realize, is that it does not involve the spirits from their ancestors, it does not include information from centuries back about what they did and how they lived three lives ago. It does bring information related to ancestors and lives centuries ago, and it brings that information through spirits, true. But according to the Bible these are not the spirits from our ancestors, or flashback from our own past lives. The Bible tells us that does not exist. But then what is it? This is contact with evil spirits, that dwell among and within us, and that have dwelled among and within our ancestors. And they have dwelled among and within people centuries ago. And all the experiences that your ancestors have had, and these people that lived centuries ago have had, are known to these evil spirits. After all, they were there. Maybe not even just looking on from the outside, but maybe even living these experiences from within these people, maybe even creating many of these experiences through temptations and torment. And by believing them, you unlock the door to your body, mind and spirit. You have fellowship with evil spirits, which is against God's law. And through that they gain the right to access you, and not just tempts you but torment you whenever they please, in whatever way they please. And if you do not understand that, then what do you do? You go back to your aura reader, your medium, your shaman, your ouija board, or whatever other way you can contact the spirit world. Because you believe that you can find answers there for your torment. But what happens? You open yourself up to even more spirits, more torment. And these spirits figure out very quickly that you are being had so easily. They will guide you into more of these types of false religions, pulling you further and further from God, and deeper into Satan's court. Do you understand now why the Bible tells us so strongly that we should not contact medium, soothsayers and the like!?

But now lets start looking at Christianity, since there unfortunately are huge masses of people who claim to be following God, Jesus Christ and the Bible, but in spite of that they still practice false religion. This is another sneaky way of Satan to drag us away from God. Satan and his henchmen will make us believe that we are faithful and that we will be saved. All while we are following a path that appears like the narrow road to salvation, but is actually the wide road to the lake of fire. "But I am going to church, I am reading my Bible, I believe that Christ died on the cross for my sins". True, but are you true to the Bible? After all, the Bible tells us that if we add to the word that we will have plagues of the Bible added to us. But for the same token it says that if we take away from the word, that we will have the promises of the Bible taken away from us. So even if we claim to follow the Bible, but leave some stuff out, or add some stuff to it, we will not end up with and in God's promise. What I mean to say is that claiming to be a Christian, but in truth being ignorant or inventive within the words of the Bible could bring what I have spelled out many times already. That you are not going to end up where you think you are going. You can find more interesting details in this in a later chapter where I discuss the Lord's prayer in much detail.

Sex versus Sexual immoralities:

Biblical reference:

Whoever divorces his wife, and marries another, commits adultery.

They committed harlotry in Egypt, they committed harlotry in their youth.

Who to those who devise iniquity and work out evil in their beds.

For the flesh lusts against the spirit, and the spirit against the flesh. And these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish.

A wholesome tongue is a tree of life, but perverseness in it breaks the spirit.

For the spirit of harlotry has caused them to stray.

Marriage is honorable among all, and the bed undefiled, but fornicators and adulterers God will judge.

Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men is committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.

Do not defile yourselves with any of these things, for by all these the nations are defiled, which I and casting out before you.

For whoever commits any of these abominations, the persons who commit them shall be cut off from among their people.

Both of them shall surely be put to death.

They shall be burned with fire, both he and they, that there may be no wickedness among you.

They shall be cut off in the sight of their people. He shall bear his guilt.

Both of them shall be cut of from their people.

They shall bear their guilt.

They shall bear their sin, they shall die childless.

They shall be childless.

Then the elders of that city shall take that man and punish him, and they shall fine him one hundred shekels of silver and give them to the father of the young woman, because he has brought a bad name on a virgin of Israel. And she shall be his wife, he cannot divorce her all his days.

And the man of her city shall stone her to death with stones.

Then you shall bring them both out the gate of that city, and you shall stone them to death with stones.

And the man forces her and lies with her, then only the man who lay with her shall die.

Now for the body is not for sexual immorality but for the Lord, and the Lord for the body.

Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man does outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body. Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own.

And make your belly swell and your thigh rot.

But he who follows frivolity will have poverty enough.

I will not have mercy on her children, for they are the children of harlotry.

Harlotry, wine, and new wine enslave the heart.

For the spirit of harlotry has caused them to stray, and they have played the harlot against their God.

Thus she committed her harlotry with the, all of them choice men of Assyria. And with all for whom she lusted, with all her idols, she defiled herself. (delivered to the enemy to have them judge her and slay her).

They will deal hatefully with you, take away all you have worked for, and leave you naked and bare. The nakedness of your harlotry shall be uncovered, both you lewdness and your harlotry.

But you trusted in your own beauty, played the harlot because of your fame.

I have seen your adulteries and your lustful neighings, the lewdness of your harlotry.

Because of the multitude of harlotries of the seductive harlot, the mistress of sorceries, who sells her nation through her harlotries and families through her sorceries.

Then that man shall be free from iniquity, but that woman shall bear her guilt.

But I you have gone astray while under your husband's authority, and you have defiled yourself and some man other than your husband has lain with you.....

They shall no more offer their sacrifices to demons, after whom they have played the harlot.

Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body.

Cursed is the one who lies with his father's wife.

Cursed is the one who lies with any kind of animal.

Cursed is the one who lies with his sister, the daughter of his father, or the daughter of his mother.

Cursed is the one who lies with his mother in law.

For the lips of an immoral woman drip honey, and her mouth is smoother than oil. But in the end she is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two-edged sword.

By swearing and lying, killing and stealing and committing adultery, they break all restraint with bloodshed upon bloodshed.

Till an arrow struck his liver, as a bird hastens to the snare, he did not know it would cost his life.

For by means of a harlot a man is reduced to a crust of bread. And an adulteress will prey upon his precious life.

And if a woman divorces her husband and marries another, she commits adultery.

Whoever divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery. And whoever marries her who is divorced from her husband commits adultery.

Marriage is honorable among all, and the bed undefiled.

The daughter of any priest, if she profanes herself by playing the harlot, she profanes her father. She shall be burned with fire.

Sex is fun, it is enjoyable. Yes, it feels good too. I do speak pretty openly about this subject, since it is something that every married adult should enjoy and have fun with. After all, sex is what got us here. Without it, mankind would have ceased to exist when Adam and Eve died. But it is more than just procreation. It is a very strong intimate expression of love, if used correctly.

However, sex has been perverted into something that is causing similar amounts of misery as alcohol and drugs. Recently I heard from a successful businessman in Oregon, who uses his free time to coach teenagers in football. But he goes further then just coaching them the game. He really makes an effort to teach them life. He takes them on visits to prisons, where they get to talk with severe criminals, to have a hart to hart talk about what brought them to a life of rape, murder, armed robberies and the like. Interesting is that pretty much without exception these criminals tell these teenage boys that it all started with being exposed to pornography.

The pornography industry is a multi-billion dollar industry, with a huge percentage of the Internet being used for this purpose, making it readily available. And now with mobile Internet, it is even available on the go. If we would take an honest look at the world of pornography, this is a bigger addiction problem than any other addiction. It is responsible for more pain, relationship problems, unGodly behaviors, wasting of time and wasting of money than mankind is willing to admit. Studies have shown that a single exposure to pornography in the young teenage years is pretty much a guarantee to an addiction to pornography on a later age.

And in the world of Christianity is sadly enough not much different. A nationwide study showed that during large Christian conventions, with many hotels booked full with faithful Christians, there were more sales for the adult movie channels charged to the hotel rooms than any other type of convention.

Conclusion for Sex versus Sexual Immorality:

Have you read the Songs of Solomon lately. You might want to, to get an understanding about God's view on sex. And remember, this was written two thousand plus years ago. And then realize that what is written there would make your grandmother choke. And she was born in nineteen-twenty-some. What I mean to say is that these Biblical verses are pretty erotic for the time they were written. Yes, God wants you to have sex, he wants you to "make love", which is a much better description. Man is supposed to love the woman, and the woman is supposed to love the man. The Bible tells us that they even have a responsibility to keep each other satisfied. But, God is also very clear that this is a privilege that is only to be practiced by a husband and a wife, bonded in marriage for life. The Old Testament has so many verses in there explaining this that it should be pretty easy to understand. And in the New Testament it is brought up over and over as well. First with Christ telling us that just looking at another person with lust in your heart is already adultery. And then the disciples touch on the subject many times as well.

But it feels so good. And there is exposure to sex all over the place, even on children's television. Fashion is playing into sex, just as the world of advertisement. Who can wait until you are married? And then you are married, and you have to get along with your spouse forever, because if you divorce and then marry again, you are also committing adultery. And then when you are married, you can only lust after your spouse. So even that hot centerfold is not allowed by God. But that person at work is so hot..... Wrong! You need to find that with your spouse. As Solomon wrote, let her breasts keep you satisfied at all times. And not keeping God's rules has serious consequences. The evil sprits of adultery will not only drag you into more and more sinful behaviors, but they will torment you to get you there. And if you read the verses above, you will find out that many physical ailments, social problems, death and other things are the result of adultery. That is Satan's right, to bring that unto you. So here's the catch. It is intimacy, an amazing expression of love, it feels so good, it is so much fun. And because of all this the consequences are severe if not used according to God's law.

Now there is an interesting statistic that tells us how keen Satan and his henchmen are on this subject. The worldly studies have told us how easy it is to become addicted to pornography. And we all know, with Jesus telling us that just lustfully looking at someone being adultery, that pretty much all of us are guilty of adultery. And if you understand what creates addictions, unloving evil spirits living within, then you also know how easily this addiction is passed on through the generations. Sex is a very powerful access point for Satan to come into humanity, and drag us away from God. If there is a type of evil spirit that is more busy than any other evil spirit, then it must be the evil spirits of sexual immoralities.

There is a huge difference noticeable between being a Christian and resisting the temptations of sexual immoralities to stay with God, than being a Christian who took the action to actually be delivered from evil spirits of sexual immorality. Because we all fall for these temptations in some way shape or form, and once that evil dwells within, the temptation comes as torment. You might feel unloved, feel actual pains, feel fears, or have other reactions used as torment, making you default to seek out the sexual immoral behaviors. That is temptation with add-ons, making it very hard to resist. Especially with so many things in the world leading us to think about sex. I guess you can figure out pretty easily "who is controlling...." the world to bring that to you. Spirits of sexual immorality are in my opinion very closely related to unloving spirits, which makes that sexual immoralities are so easily to get addicted to.

Skin and Flesh:

Biblical reference:

The Lord will strike you with consumption, with fever, with inflammation, with severe burning, with the sword, with scorching, with mildew, they shall pursue you until you perish.

Fear the Lord and depart from evil. It will be health to your flesh, and strength to your bones.

It devours patches of his skin, the firstborn of death devours his limbs.

And after my skin is destroyed, this I know. That in my flesh I shall see God.

So Satan answered the Lord and said; "Skin for skin! Yes, all that a man has he will give for his life.

My flesh is caked with worms and dust. My skin is cracked and breaks out afresh. My days are swifter than a weavers shuttle, and are spent without hope.

My skin grows black and falls from me, my bones burn with fever. My harp is tuned to mourning and my flute to the voices of those who weep.

You who hate good and love evil, who strips the skin from my people and the flesh from their bones.

Their skin clings to their bones, it has becomes dry as wood.

And the Lord will uncover their secret parts.

And remember what the Lord your God did to Miriam on the way when you came out of Egypt.

Therefore the leprosy of Naaman shall cling to you and your descendants forever.

Deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of the flesh.

There is no soundness in my flesh because of Your anger, nor any health in my bones because of my sin.

The Lord will strike you with the boils of Egypt, with tumors, with the scab, and with the itch, from which you cannot be healed.

They joined themselves also to Baal of Peor, and ate sacrifices made to the dead. Thus they provoked Him to anger with their deeds, and the plague broke out among them.

The Lord will strike you in the knees and on the legs with severe boils which cannot be healed, and from the sole of your foot to the top of your head.

Horror will cover them. Shame will be on every face. Baldness on all their heads.

Thus they provoked Him to anger with their deeds, and the plague broke out among them.

Skin for skin! Yes, all that a man has he wil give for his life.

There is no soundness in my flesh because of Your anger, not any health in my bones because of my sin.

He who covers his sins will not prosper.

They blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and did not repent of their deeds.

In modern medicine skin issues are mostly looked at as a surface problem, the skin itself. The world of alternative medicine looks at skin as and expression of what is going on inside the body. The body mind connections adds to this that skin responds negatively to anger, worry and fear. And that the skin is our individuality.

Conclusion for Skin and Flesh:

Skin goes much deeper than itself in the Bible. There indeed is, as the alternative stream of medicine also mentions, an underlying issue. Reading through all the verses related to skin I feel that skin issues involve hidden sins. The kind of sins that happen, even in public, but go unnoticed. Now you might say; "But then every liar, person deceiving another, would be having skin problems. Not necessarily. First of all it is God who decides in the end who receives the torment or not. But besides that the Scriptures reveal more to us about skin issues. In many verses the skin problem have to do with offending God. Of course every sin is basically and offense to God, but there are certain action that you can take that are a direct offense to God. Read for yourself what Miriam did to receive leprosy. Or what the servant did to to get Namaan's illness. And realize that with sin the skin is devoured in patches by the firstborn of death. Guess who that could be? I feel that skin issues result from you, or a previous generation, having committed a hidden or obscured sin that is or was a direct insult to God.

We then who are strong ought to bear with the scruples of the weak, and not to please ourselves.

Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.But when you thus sin against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, you sin against Christ.

Ever heard any of these?: "You hurt my feelings". "My lawyer will call you". "That was politically incorrect". "I think I was too drunk to remember". "You should have been more clearly in explaining that". "You should have made a better effort to understand me". "Fill in the blank..........".

We live in a world where we are supposed to speak politically correct, always keep other people's feelings in mind, make sure we don't do anything that could become a legal issue. Yet more people than ever use this only when it serves then, rather than when they are speaking or acting out towards others. As an example. A nationwide study concluded that over ninety-five percent of the people considered faul language to be a huge problem in the United States. Yet that same study showed us that over ninety-five percent of the people said not to be a contributor to that. Interesting findings. Sounds like what Jesus calls hypocrites.

However, we live in a world where it becomes close to impossible to avoid social interactions with people. So we have to make the best of it. That is why there are so many written and unwritten rules about what you can or cannot say and do or don't do to each other. The question becomes first of all who made these rules, and second if everyone will keep these rules at all times or only use them when it is beneficial to themselves.

Conclusion for Social versus Anti-Social:

Jesus was very simple about this. He made a few statements, and that was it. Do unto others, as you want them to do unto you. Love your neighbor as you love yourself. Yet it is so hard to follow these few simple statements. You know why? Because we are so under the influence that we don't know anymore how we want to be done unto, and we in general for sure don't love ourselves. Now, was that a politically correct thing to say? Probably not, but the truth is more often than not politically incorrect. Based on which I would like to make a statement based on my personal opinion: Political correctness is Satan's nice and sweet way to keep us from getting to hear truth. Which is mainly focused on Biblical truth. But by now it is pulled so out of proportion that we sweet talk anything and everything. Up to making excuses for sins because we can, politically correct.

It was not just Jesus who pointed out how important it was to be in God's law during social interactions. The Bible is full of verses pertaining to this, and it is clear what the consequences are. However, we need to realize why we are acting in certain ways when it comes to social interactions with others. "Who is telling...." us what we should say, what we shouldn't say? Have you realized already that there are certain social trends that have gotten blown so out of proportion it is just another sad story where eventually many good people get hurt. "Who is guiding...." that? So watch yourself. Are your words and actions according to the Scriptures. If not, do you find that you have a tough time shaking those social habits? Then you might have sinned often enough that it is now dwelling within. Beware, if you do not cast that evil out, it could cost you your relationships, your success, your spouse, your children, your health. You could default to many anti-social actions listed in the verses. But, no worries, you can always become a politician......... (oooops, I should't have said that...).

Sorrow: (affliction, agony, grief, anguish, blues, dejection, depression, distress, hardship, heartbreak, misery, misfortune, mourning, pain, regret, remorse, sadness, suffering, tribulation, unhappiness, worry)

Biblical reference:

The troubles of my heart have enlarged, bring me out of my distress.

Thus my heart was grieved, and I was vexed in my mind.

I would comfort myself in sorrow, my heart is faint in me.

I will even appoint terror over you, wasting disease and fever, which shall consume the eyes and cause sorrow of the heart.

My eyes wastes away because of affliction.

I was mute with silence, I held my peace even from good, and my sorrow was stirred up.

All days of the afflicted are evil.

Therefore my spirit is overwhelmed within me. My heart within me is distressed.

A merry heart makes a cheerful countenance, but by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken.

No, my lord, I am a woman of sorrowful spirit.

You will be filled with drunkenness and sorrow.

But take heed to yourselves. Lest your heart be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness, and cares of this live and that day come on you unexpectedly.

But I am poor and sorrowful. Let Your salvation, O God, set me up on high.

I will even appoint terror over you, wasting disease and fever which shall consume the eyes and cause sorrow of the heart.

For Godly sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation, not to be regretted, but the sorrow of the world produces death.

He answered and said; "I will not", but afterward he regretted it and went.

He who sows iniquity will reap sorrow, and the rod of his anger will fail.

All his days he also eats in darkness, and he has much sorrow and sickness and anger.

For my life is spent with grief, and my years with sighing. My strength fails me because of my iniquity, and my bones waste away.

Why do you cry about your affliction? Your sorrow is incurable. Because of the multitude of your iniquities, because your sins have increased, I have done these things to you.

And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes. There shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.

Other Sources:

The body mind connection relates worry to a lack of trust, and fear.

Conclusion for Sorrow:

As you can see in the synonyms, there are many emotional states that are related to sorrow. And most of those have to do with a slow and silent suffering. And it is good to grief for some time when a loved one passes (although, if they were faithful Christians, you would be crying for yourself, knowing that that person is going to a much nicer place than today's world). It becomes an issue when we feel like any of these emotions too often and for no real reason, or we extend the grieving process on and one and on. You need to find God's love and strength and live for that, rather than the love of the person that passed away. Because if you get stuck in your sorrow, grief and worry, Satan has you right where he wants you. In his ballpark. Just look at what extended sorrow brings. An enlarged heart, a grieved heart, a faint heart, failing eyes, it breaks your spirit (see category: Immune System), you will be driven to drunkenness, your bones waste away. And on top of that it is clear that Satan really has a hold of you if you tend to take the problems of the world on your shoulders, because that produces death.

So there is a season for grief, sorrow, worry. But not as an ongoing thing, because that means you are being had by Satan and his henchmen.

Spine and Back:

Biblical reference:

Let their eyes be darkened, so that they do not see, and bow their backs always.

And behold, there was a woman who had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bent over and could in no way raise herself up.

See now, his strength is in his hips, and his power is in his stomach muscles.

Other Sources:

This is interesting from a medical perspective. The medical world, in spite of still being happy o provide back surgery, spinal manipulations and the like, has been taking notice that the spinal column has a connection with how we are doing emotionally. The alternative sources have been on top of that for years already. The spine is related to integrity and courage (have some spine, will you...). In more detail, the cervical spine relates to stubbornness, guilt and burdens, the thoracic spine to fear and insecurity, and the lumbar spine to anger and a lack of control.

Conclusion for Spine and Back:

Through my years in the medical field, I have to be in agreement with the alternative ways of thinking. The back and spine can tell us a lot about what is going on with a person. Biblically there is very little written about the back or the spine, other than that severe deformity had to do with an evil spirit dwelling within that person, but there is no reference to what kind of sin would be related to that. The spine does however contain all the nerve pathways, including the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems that are in strong connection with our emotional state. If there are back problems, I recommend to look further at life, to see what else is going on that could have a reference to the Bible.

Your money perish with you, because you thought that the gift of God could be purchased with money.

For the love of money is the root for all kinds of evil.

Why do you spent your money for what is not bread, and your wages for what does not satisfy.

Who, being past feeling, have given themselves over to lewdness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.

But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.

Lest they drink and forget the law.

For then you will make your way prosperous, and the you will have good success.

But idle chatter leads only to poverty.

There is one who scatters, yet increases more, and there is one who withholds more than is right, but it leads to poverty.

Poverty and shame will come to him who disdains correction.

But those of everyone who is hasty, surely to poverty.

He who oppresses the poor to increase his riches, and he who gives to the rich, will surely come to poverty.

For the drunkard and the glutton will come to poverty.

But he who follows frivolity will have poverty enough.

A man with and evil eye hastens after riches, and does not consider that poverty will come upon him.

He who oppresses the poor reproaches his Maker, but he who honors Him has mercy on the needy.

The rich rule over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender.

He who loves pleasure will be a poor man, he who loves wine and oil wil not be rich.

He who has a generous eye will be blessed, for he gives of his bread to the poor.

The righteous considers the cause of the poor, but the wicked does not understand such knowledge.

He who has a slack hand becomes poor.

This poor man cried out, and the Lord heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles.

But I am poor and sorrowful. Let Your salvation, O God, set me up on high.

The Lord makes poor and makes rich. He brings low and lifts up.

There is one who makes himself rich, yet has nothing. And one who makes himself poor, yet has great riches.

The rich shall not give more and the poor shall not give less than half a shekel, when you give an offering to the Lord, to make atonement for yourselves.

For the poor will never cease from the land.

Nor does He regard the rich more than the poor, for they are all the works of His hands.

The poor and needy seek water, but there is none. Their tongues will fail for thirst. I, the Lord, will hear them.

So He said: "Truly I say to you that this poor widow has put in more than all".

Because you say: "I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing", and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind and naked.

The way of the wicked is like darkness, they know not what makes them stumble.

Blessings are on the head of the righteous, but violence covers the mouth of the wicked. The memory of the righteous is blessed, but the name of the wicked will rot.

The labor of the righteous leads to life, the wages of the wicked to sin.

The righteous is delivered from trouble, and it comes to the wicked instead.

The wicked is ensnared by the transgression of his lips.

Salvation is far from the wicked, for they do not seek Your statutes.

The wicked borrows and does not repay.

Evil shall slay the wicked.

There is no peace, says my God, for the wicked.

But the eyes of the wicked will fail, and they shall not escape, and their hope, loss of life.

Woe the wicked! It shall be ill with him, for the rewards of his hands shall be given him.

But the wicked are like the troubled sea, when it cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt.

For behold, the day is coming, burning like an oven. And all the proud, yes, all who do wickedly will be stubble. And the day which is coming shall burn them up.

For the spirit of harlotry has caused them to stray, and they have played the harlot against their God.

They will deal hatefully with you, take away all you have worked for, and leave you naked and bare. The nakedness of your harlotry shall be uncovered, both you lewdness and your harlotry.

The Lord will send on you cursing, confusion, and rebuke in all that you set your hand to do, until you are destroyed and until you perish quickly, because of the wickedness of your doings in which you have forsaken me.

Who redeems your life from destruction, who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies.

He send His word and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions,

Let destruction come upon him unexpectedly, and let his net that he has hidden catch himself. Into that very destruction let him fall.

But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and harmful lusts which drown men in destruction and perdition.

And many will follow their destructive ways, because of whom the way of truth will be blasphemed.

They stoop, they bow down together, they could not deliver the burden, but have themselves gone into captivity.

A man's pride will bring him low.

For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.

Your money perish with you, because you thought that the gift of God could be purchased with money!

He who does not put out his money at usury, nor does he take a bribe against innocent. He who does these things shall never be moved.

A feast is made for laughter, and wine makes merry. But money answers everything.

And He found in the temple those who sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the money changers doing business.

Having land, sold it, and brought the money and laid it at the apostels feet.

Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and keep back part of the price of the land yourself?

He offered them money, saying: "Give me his power also, that anyone on whom I lay hands may receive the Holy Spirit.

You shall not charge interest to your brother. Interest on money or food or anything that is lent out at interest.

You have bought Me no sweet cane with money, nor have you satisfied Me with the fat of your sacrifices. But you have burdened Me with your sins, you have wearied Me with your iniquities.

Why do you spent your money for what is not bread, and your wages for what does not satisfy?

For the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil.

For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away!

For a bishop must be blameless, as a steward of God, not self-willed, not quick-tempered, not given to wine, not violent, not greedy for money.....

Cast in your lot among us, let us all have one purse.

The rich rule over the poor, and the borrower is the servant to the lender.

The hand of the diligent will rule, but the lazy man will be put to forced labor.

Luxury is not fitting for a fool, much less for a servant to rule over princes.

Whoever has no rule over his own spirit, is like a city broken down, without walls.

For if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins.

And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.

A hireling flees because he is a hireling and does not care about the sheep.

If anyone will not work, neither shall he eat.

The righteous eats to the satisfying of his soul, but the stomach of the wicked shall be in want.

A man's stomach shall be satisfied from the fruit of his mouth.

He who has a slack hand becomes poor, but the hand of the diligent makes rich.

Because of laziness the building decays, and through idleness of hands the house leaks.

The hand of the diligent will rule, but the lazy man will be put to forced labor.

The desire of the lazy man kills him, for his hands refuse to labor.

But you, be strong and do not let your hands be weak, for your work shall be rewarded.

But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty.

Love never fails.

Conclusion for Success versus Failure:

Of course everyone has his or her own definition for success, and also for failure. I think that the first thing that needs to happen is align that with God's will and law. Only then will true success happen. How often do we hear from people that reach these great levels of so-called success, to then get divorced, commit suicide, get into drugs or alcohol. Look at Hollywood. Who wants to go to that level of success? Me neither!!

So lets look at the verses above. True success is determined by God and how you present yourself towards God, and nothing else. So align your definition of success with God, and then get to work.

Sympathetic and ParaSympathetic Nervous Systems:

Biblical reference:

You will revolt more and more. The whole head is sick, and the whole heart faints. From the sole of your foot even to the head. There is no soundness in it, but wounds and bruises and putrefying sores.

Do not hasten in your spirit to be angry, for anger rests in the bosom of fools.

Therefore the king was furious, and his anger burned within him.

For they are life to those who find them, and health to all their flesh.

Other Sources:

With the knowledge available to the medical world and the world of alternative medicine, and the limited reference to this in the Bible, I will just stick with the overall conclusion.

Conclusion for Sympathetic and Parasympathetic nervous systems:

Emotions are known to have an influence on our physical body. Emotions are processed in an area of the brain called the limbic system. From there through release of hormones, mainly by the hypothalamus, the body is influenced. Emotions also have a very strong influence on the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. Especially emotion like fear, anger, stress, and the like. The two systems are located in your spinal column between the lower part of your neck and the higher part of your lower back. From there they regulate the whole body, including a major influence on the endocrine system. The parasympathetic nervous system arranges for the body to rest, heal, digest. It increases circulation of blood in the internal organs and areas that need healing. It makes us sleepy and drowsy. While the sympathetic nervous system makes the body ready for action. It increases the blood flow to major muscle groups, makes that we get the so-called adrenaline rush. It makes us alert. These two nervous systems work like sitting on a see-saw. If one is up in activity, the other one is down. This is normal for short periods of time. But if certain emotions are present all the time, this imbalance can create significant problems. If we have certain emotions (temptations) from time to time it is not a major issue. But if we have given into that emotion too often, and we now have evil living within keeping us in this emotional state the majority of the time, it becomes a problem. Most of the time the imbalance is a higher activity of the sympathetic and a lower activity of the parasympathetic. Then the body is in a constant state of alert. Our internal organs become deprived of sufficient blood flow and they are not functioning at normal capacity. Examples of problems related to this could include digestive issues, lung function, heart issues, reproductive organs, and liver, kidney and galbladder functioning. Blood flow to our brain can become compromised, leading to headaches, migraines, changes in brain function, possibly even seizures. The arms (called upper extremities in more medical terms) and legs (lower extremities) might have significant blood flow for the large muscle groups, depending on the emotional state. But if the emotion would require fast movement, the focus is on fast muscle movement, which doesn't increase blood flow. Both upper and lower extremities will be compromised such that there will be a higher risk for trauma, especially the repetitive motion injuries. All this combined there will be a reduced healing and recovery in the whole body. And this recovery is not only for injuries, but also for the recovery involving the immune system. Therefore this category influences every category that has to do with our physical and emotional well being. This is what makes linking categories and studying all of them so important. We are literally geared to connect all of them through the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems.

Based on all this I would like to sketch a scenario for you of which you might say "Impossible, that will never be. How can you even consider it would ever get that bad". Realize that three to four generations ago people would have said the same thing if we would have told them how we are living with incurable diseases and other torment today. But it will give you an idea what an impact and far stretched the consequences of our actions can have. Realize that the door being opened to evil spirits is passed on through the third and fourth generation. Picture a husband and wife with two small children. Divorce strikes, as with fifty plus percent of all marriages, even higher among Christians. According to the Bible divorce will bring violence, sparking possible abuse and criminality. Most likely divorce also brings adultery if you read the Bible verses pertaining to that, possibly leading to social problems and health issues to death. The children will most likely feel fear and anxiety, possibly leading to depression, possibly leading to false healing with the accompanied consequences. The children could even feel unloved, leading to immunity disorders, possibly auto-immune. Or the unloving spirits lead to addictions, which could also lead to adultery again. The split family will cause disorder in the family, possibly causing ADD, ADHD, dyslexia, gender reversal. Throw in some resentment, bitterness and unforgiveness because it was a pretty ugly divorce, and we have a whole pile of evil stacked up. And that is just the first generation after the divorce. What more will stack up when linking the categories going three or four generations into the future. How much disease, torment, disaster, death, will have been brought on by this divorce? Can you see how all this, if not dealt with properly, could lead to severe torment such as children dying of cancer at a young age a few generations from now. Do you want to be part of that third or fourth generation, or would you rather pass? And how would you like to carry the responsibility for being the side that caused that couple to divorce?! Do you understand now why God hates divorce? I hope you understand how far the consequences of sin stretch.

Sin and Forgiveness

Have you ever gotten this question, or pondered on this for yourself: "How can a serial killer and rapist go to heaven, and the generally good guy go to hell??", "That God of yours sounds very unfair". Let's face it. Every believer at some point gets this question thrown at him. And from a human perspective, especially to non-believers, this issue appears unfair. How could God be so cruel?? Isn't this God of yours so full of love?? It is however one of the most asked questions by non-believers or those who claim to believe but doubt. And this question about the bad guy and the good guy often is accompanied with the question that: "If there in indeed a God who is so loving and forgiving, then how could there possibly be so much evil in the world?". And the answer given by the average church, or the average Christian, most of the time leaves the person asking dissatisfied and unclear. Most churches and believers start throwing Bible verses at the one asking the questions, in the hope that that will provide a good enough defense. Or they ate told how wonderful God is, while the person asking sees how the person trying to provide the answer is bowed under worldly torment, making the answer unbelievable. Yet it is our responsibility to be able to answer this, create clarity and understanding, and establish believe in God. And that is not accomplished by hitting someone over the head with your Bible, especially not if Satan is hitting you over the head and you don't understand that is going on. Do you feel you have the knowledge to answer the "How can there be so much evil in the world if there is a God?", and the "Sin versus Forgiveness" questions up to full satisfaction?? If not, it is time that you understand these issues for you personally. After all, you cannot teach others what you don't understand.

I can tell you that even the majority of Christians are not really understanding this. They fib it really good. There are many Christians that consider since they go to church, know about Christ and lead generally good lives, they will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. How often have we even heard the "I have not done anything really bad"? Or the "Oh, but I believe in Christ so I am saved". As the nineteen books in the serie already indicate, there might be more to sin and forgiveness then that. The Bible tells us that if we sin in just one area of the law, we are not within the law of God at all. So even a little sin pulls you out of God's presence. Now many believers will tell you that they are not under the law because they are led by the Spirit. That sounds great, but if they are lead by the Spirit, then why are so may of them acting so worldly? And with most of Christianity not understanding sin to that extend, they cannot really answer the tough questions on sin, forgiveness and evil either.

Christians tend to answer the "sin versus forgiveness" question based mostly on forgiveness. The attitude that comes forward very strong is one of: "Just believe in Christ and all will be forgiven". Sounds so easy, almost too good to be true..... There is a huge trend in churches to have people just mumble the "I believe Christ died for my sins", to then call them saved. No knowledge needed, just move your lips, no need to get your heart involved. This is deceiving people into a feeling if salvation, while the Bible is very clear about this. That is not following God and Christ, that is following Satan.

So, maybe it isn't that easy to begin with, and maybe it isn't that true either. Shocker huh! Are we calling God and Jesus liars...... No! Because the Bible tells us that all iniquities and sins will be forgiven. But then if you really understand the "Who told you.....?" concept, you would also understand that humanity makes it easier than it is. Because "we were told" it was that easy. So that we would miss the essence of what is required of us for our salvation. Yes, scary thoughts. But as I mentioned, we are dealing with an extremely intelligent enemy here. So do not fear, because God did not give you the spirit of fear. Fear is torment. But as a side note, in case I am scaring some people: If you get it right with God, it does become as easy as it sounds.

In order to really understand sin and forgiveness, I consider it important to lay out where Satan has made the message of forgiveness too easy. As a minister feel that there is forgiveness for all sin, but not all sin gets forgiven. At least not without our active involvement. And with active involvement I mean more than a "Jesus, I believe in you.... So now all is forgiven.....right?!?" Well, maybe. Many Bibles tell us that "There will be no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus". However, in many other Bibles that verse has an addition. Which addition is by the way repeated several times in the verses that follow. And that addition and the verses that follow have a condition build in. It reads "For those who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit". So yes, you won't be condemned if you are in Christ Jesus, and if you live accordingly as well. Now we are all sinners, but if we are not even aware of our sins, how can we not walk after the flesh?! And how can we be forgiven for something we don't even know we should be forgiven for?! Especially if we then ask to be forgiven, but we let evil still dwell within. We co-habitat with evil, consider their input to be our own thoughts, feelings and emotions, don't understand that many of those are sinful because we don't know what is sin and what is not. Then we act it out, in which action we indeed sin. We don't realize we sinned so are unable to repent for it and ask for forgiveness...... Can you see how the many of us walk after the flesh all the time, not even realizing it? But oh, we are aware of all our sins. Are you really? I recommend you read your Bible again, and consider there are many things that are considered so normal on today's world that fall into the sin category. Oh, but we are in Christ Jesus. Are you really? Because if you truly were, shouldn't you be able to tell the difference between walking after the flesh or the Spirit?? Or did you just say you are in Christ Jesus, but your head and heart were not in on the deal?? You just said it because you wanted an easy way to justify and get cleansed from your wrong doing? Because the pastor said that was all that was needed?! Realize that Christ addressed this issue. He said that: "These people draw near Me with their mouth, and honor Me with their lips. But their heart is far from Me, and in vain they worship Me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men".

Next to this there is a group of people who say to be in Christ Jesus but will just knowingly sin because Christ's grace will cover them. Beware that the Bible tells us that God forbids that.

Deep down inside most Christians know that they are not meeting up to the challenge. Let's face it. How many Christians are afraid to die?? Most of them. So why the fear? Yes, someone is telling them to be afraid, and they are reacting to it, which is sin right there. But why having fear of dying? If you have been a faithful servant of The Word, what is the worst thing that will happen? You will stand before the Lord, to find your name in the Book of Life!! What a deal!

So in order to be able to really answer the "sin versus forgiveness" question, we should personally understand the issue better. And through that it will become easy to answer the question.

Here is the catch when it comes to sin and forgiveness. The thinking of mankind has gotten into the way. See, when we as humans talk about sin, we do as we do with everything we do. We put a gradations scale on the actions, words, expressions.

Let's take a look at this in the area of giving as an example. People give accolade to some multi-multi millionaire for donating a million dollars to a charity, but overlooks the kindergartner who broke his piggy-bank and gave all he had to that same charity, totaling the three dollars he was diligently saving for a gift for mothers day. Christ addresses this issue during the offerings in the temple, when the old widows is looked down on for giving only a few small coins. But as Christ says at that moment, we should realize that these few coins were all she had. In God's eyes she was the only one who really gave. So it is not the size of the giving that finds favor with God, it is the heart behind the act of giving. Are you in your giving conforming to the world or to God? Or maybe it is easier to understand if we formulate it like this: Are you giving and keeping based on what you can afford according to your comfort and pleasure here on earth, or on what would please God? Just a quick quiz. What is there in your life right now that you could skip, save the money, and do something Godly with it instead? So I am not even asking you to give "everything", but to make a good start. Do you really need that cable or satellite package? Do you really need to go out for lunch, or would a bagged lunch suffice? Do you really need to spent that money on your outer appearance, while you should use it on your inner appearance? Or how about the leather seating and spinners on that new car? And when tough times hit, what is the first thing to go. You giving, or your membership and/or subscription to whatever? We think you might be getting the picture. Giving is not about the amount, but if it pleases or displeases God.

So let's move to the area of sin now. Just as with giving, mankind also put a grading scale on sin. According to human standards stealing a pencil is one of those "Oh, we have all done something like that". It is considered no big deal. Yet the serial killer, who raped and slaughtered eight women is a very big deal, a huge deal. Understandable when considering human suffering, which is what mankind uses as the determination for the severity of the offense. But does God look at that the same way? The Bible tells us that if we just break one part of God's law, we are guilty of breaking it all. It is also clearly stated that we can serve only one master at the time. So if we do not serve the law of God, then we are serving the law of sin. So even if we break just one tiny, iddy, teeny, weenie, part of God's law, in which case we are still guilty of breaking all of God's law, we are serving the law of sin. And it is not the size of the offense that displeases God, but whose side you choose, God or Satan. It is based on whose side you choose that God can welcome you into His kingdom, or that he will send you to Satan's kingdom. It is based on your choice. So the serial killer is according to all humans committing sin and will surely go to hell. But the pencil thief is breaking God's law as well, and therefore serving the law of sin, and still choosing the kingdom of Satan. Now here is the scary part. If you read your Bible very intently, you will find that fear is sin as well, and so is bitterness, and unforgiveness. Or how about envy, pride, jealousy, or as Christ told us that looking at a woman and lusting after her in your heart is already sin.......

In other words, we all fall short of the law of God all the time. We are all choosing the kingdom of Satan every day. Sorry for this painful awareness, especially if you thought to be on track for a spot on Heaven because you "haven't done anything really bad". No matter how good of a guy or gal you have been, we all will on a very regular basis choose Satan over God. Which would mean..... Yes correctly, we are all going to hell by default.

Fortunately God gave something that enabled us to come back to His Kingdom. He sacrificed His own Son, so that we can come back. If we are making the effort of understanding His law, showing understanding in how we sinned, and truly repent and ask for forgiveness from our heart. And then overcome, by not jumping back into that right away again. Yes, you read that correctly, show understanding of your sins. After all, how can we ask forgiveness for something we do not understand or are aware of. How would you be able to overcome if you don't understand your sin issue.

And to return to God's kingdom according to God's law will require from us that we really understand the contents of the Lord's Prayer, next to understanding God's law. Jesus told us to pray according to the Lord's Prayer, and therefore we will really dissect that prayer in the next chapter.

So to jump back to the two questions that started this chapter: "How can a serial killer and rapist go to heaven, and the generally good guy go to hell??" and "How can there be so much evil in the world if there is a God?". And now we can give two very brief answers.

If you understand God's law, then you know that everyone sins, even the most amazingly well behaved person on earth. So without God's forgiveness everyone will by default go to hell. So the serial killer who finds forgiveness from God, can end up in heaven. While the generally good guy who also sinned but doesn't find God's forgiveness, will go to hell. It is a matter of choice, and understanding and living according to God 's law, where you will end up. And the final judgment of that is not up to us, so all we can do is the best we can. The fact that we need to live according to the Spirit is explained where His law tells us that faith without works is still death.

There is a catch in this, where most people get caught. People that fall in the "generally good guy" category, even if they understand Christ's sacrifice, often live in a way as if they don't need God's blessing and Christ's sacrifice and therefore don't get forgiveness. Or they say that since they have committed their life to Christ it therefore all goes automatic. "Don't have to repent again, because I am in Christ Jesus". So the serial rapist and killer is most likely much aware of his sins and he will search and beg for God's forgiveness once he learns about Christ's sacrifice, than the generally good guy.

Following the law of God or the law of Satan (evil) is mankind's free choice. It is the free will given to us by God. So the evil in the world is our own doing by straying from God's law.

One thing to be aware of is that it are very often non-believers that "complain" most about what a bad job that God of us Christians is doing. If He is so great of a God, why isn't he taking that evil away? So, now they ask something they claim doesn't exist to improve their lives for them...... Interesting.... Without them understanding that only through sheer dedication to God's law and His grace through forgiveness, God can help us. So claiming that God is responsible for the evil in the world is where the problem lies. That is not God's responsibility, but ours. If we would all live according to God's law, the only evil we would encounter would be the wild world and universe we live in. Which does bring us disasters as well, providing a great testing ground how much we stick to God's law. So if we personally believe in God, we at least get ourselves right. And that doesn't guard us from all the evil in this world, but is a sure fire remedy for getting rid of evil in the hereafter. And it is a pretty sure fire way to eliminate the torment inside of us while we are still here on earth. Although we are all learning which includes plenty of exposure to torment. I named our ministry "Free From Bondage", to teach people to be free from Satan's bondage through faith, knowledge and keeping true to that knowledge. Don't expect to become free and stay free from Satan's curse without that. And that counts for believers as much as for non-believers.

Keep in mind that in the next chapter I will also address the issue whether salvation is for eternity or that there is a chance to loose it again. Which could mean that if the serial killer or the pencil thief repented and were forgiven, but then sinned again, they could loose the given salvation. Something most Christians will deny that that could take place, but it is a point I want to challenge based on what the Bible tells us. Because it is key in freedom from torment, not only in this world, but for eternity.

Understanding the Lord's Prayer.

If you, by now, do not have a pretty clear understanding of what the concept of "Who Told You...." entails, I would suggest to go back to one of the nineteen books that fits an area of struggle in your life. Read it again and again. Then come back to this book and read it again from the beginning.

If you understand what the Bible is bringing you in regards to the "Who Told You....." concept, the following should make complete sense. Thoughts, feelings and emotions that are not according to the law of God, followed through on by actions, are sins. And sin takes us out of God's law, and into Satan's law. But then there is one more step, repetition. Repeated, these sinful actions are habitual sin, and give Satan and his henchmen the right to dwell in you and torment you from the inside out. So this is more than just temptation, this is Satan having a right to access you and torment you. This torment results in problems, diseases, disasters, often leading to more sinful actions. And who is being tormented? Everyone, because we have all sinned habitually.

"But, an evil spirit living within me?", you might think. "That can't be....". Well, just like the Holy Spirit can dwell in you, evil spirits can dwell in you too. It just depends what you open yourself up to. And don't think that because you received the Holy Spirit when you were born again, that therefore you cannot have an evil spirit living in you as well. If you suffer worldly torment, you can count on it that Satan has some doing in that. The apostels wrote post-cross on the New Testament that it was sin /evil that was dwelling within them that made them do the things they wished they would not do. If they had evil dwelling within, after being baptized by the Holy Spirit, who are you to claim that wouldn't be possible in you. The Bible also tells us that when we are adopted by God, we will no longer be in bondage to the world, yet most people continue their bondage to the world after coming to God and Christ. Which would not be possible if we would consider we are free from anything that had to do with Satan after our salvation. So somewhere Satan finds a way back and we are letting him. Since most people consider the thoughts, feelings and emotions to be their own anyway, they open themselves up without even knowing it, becoming easy prey to Satan and his henchmen. Those evil spirits living within people were the devils and demons that Jesus was casting out all over the place. Don't think they are gone now because Jesus died on the cross. After all, post-cross the apostels went around casting evil spirits as well. Those evil spirits are still within us, even within devoted Christians. Especially if we consider the amount of people living with torment. So unless we have taken deliberate action to reverse the process of providing Satan with a right to access us, according to God's law, that torment is still going on. Even if you are so-called "born again". Unless you took very deliberate action to cast that evil out of you, the access rights are still in effect. How often do we see "born again" Christians fall off the wagon in a minor or major way a few months after finding Jesus? Yes, someone is telling them that all that Jesus stuff isn't all that it claims to be, enforced by the torment that is still there. Maybe that born again slate wasn't wiped all that clean yet. And what is still there steals the new Christian's belief in Christ. Maybe that "born again" Christian wasn't that "born again" after all. Satan understands that the torment and the temptations can erase your name out of the Book of Life if you choose to follow his kingdom. Why else would he spent time on those faithful believers that walk after the flesh more then they are willing to admit. If Satan did not have any chance of pulling you back into his kingdom, because you claim to he saved because Christ died on the cross for your sins, why would Satan spent any time and effort on tempting you. He only has so much time, and there are plenty of people that are not saved. But no, Satan is tempting Christians because he knows he can arrange for their names to be taken from the Book of Life.

What I have found in ministry is that Christians believe in sin and the forgiveness of sin, believe in temptation, but do not consider that habitual sin makes that evil literally dwells in us. And we have all sinned habitual at some point. In our Bible study, which we expect to publish at the end of summer / fall 2011, we will go into extensive detail in regards to evil dwelling within, on top of many other issues we will touch on. I can already tell you it will probably be one of the toughest, most personal Bible studies you have ever gone through. But let's get back to where we are now.

Since very few churches teach, and therefore very few Christians understand, Satan's access rights to us, hardly anyone understands how to reverse these access rights. And it is within the reversal of that process that the bondage truly is lifted, the torment ends. Problems and disease disappear, so-called miraculously, in a matter of seconds, minutes or hours. But it is nothing miraculous, it is God's promise to us. If you study the actions and words of Jesus in the Gospels, you will find that He went all over the place casting out evil and healing people from the torment. Jesus was very clear on what it takes to reverse the access rights. "It is your faith that healed you". And the Bible tells us how to practice this faith. As a minister I feel that the Lord's prayer summarizes all the details in one paragraph. So let's dissect the Lord's prayer so that the torment can be lifted from you. So that Satan looses his access rights to you. So you get your Godly miracles and then go out and share the good news with others. After all, when Jesus performed his miracles, He stated clearly that we would do the things He did and greater. How have Christians been doing there so far?....

So let's review:

Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done. On earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, As we forgive our debtors. And do not lead us into temptation, But deliver us from the evil one. For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.

Profound wisdom. This prayer pretty much includes the whole lesson from the Bible. And every Christian, no matter which denomination has been taught this prayer, although some Bible translation and/or denominations have really mutilated it. So in spite of the wide spread use, so few know what it all includes and means. But it looks so simple. Yet if mankind would truly understand what the Lord's prayer is about, we would think differently. The Lord's prayer is a "blood, sweat and tears from fear of God" prayer. This prayer can reveal all of God's powers to us. But more than that, it will reveal all our shortcomings towards God's law before it will reveal God's power. Anyone feeling right now that you might not want to know any more out of fear your shortcomings will be exposed, then realize who is making you feel that way. "Who is telling....." you to fear? So let's get started. On some points I will be very brief, other areas I will touch on extensively.

Our Father in heaven.

This first line is already misunderstood in so many denominations. It tells us to pray to our Father in Heaven. It doesn't tell us to pray to Jesus Christ, the virgin Mary, or anyone else. Yet whole masses of people will pray to Jesus or the virgin Mary or other Biblical figures. Jesus told us even that we should not ask Him anything, but ask the Father in His name. Now I feel that since Christ is the Son of God, and He sacrificed Himself for us, that we can thank Him, respect Him in prayer. But the blessings, the forgiving, the healing and all that comes from God the Father. Even Christ told us so. And God told us that we should have no other Gods before Him, and that we should not worship to anything else but Him. Yet whole masses will worship anything worldly over God's law, down to cigarettes, Penthouse, chocolate cake, movie stars, Elvis, Facebook and much more. And yes, we do worship those worldly things, and spent more time on them then we ever spent on studying God's word. And even though we know that worshipping that kind of stuff is against God's will, we still follow it, placing it on a higher importance then God. So this should be clear. When we pray and worship, we pray to our Father in Heaven, in name of Jesus Christ. If we pray to anything or anyone else, if we idolize anything else,we do not follow the law of God, and default to the law of sin. Yes, you read that correctly, you can pray and worship yourself into sin.

Hallowed be Your name.

Not just any Father, but the Father that is holy, sacred. And we should be aware at every moment that He is the Holy One, the Most High.

Your kingdom come.

This tells us that the kingdom of God the Father is not here yet. We are all in the preparation phase, according to God's plan. That preparation phase is the spiritual warfare that is going on, and determines whether we will be part of His kingdom or not.

Your will be done.

God gave us free will. We can twist God's word, we can try to run away from Him, we can just ignore Him claiming He doesn't exist. But no matter what we make of it, His will is what will happen. Whether we like it or not. So yes, even all the misery and suffering mankind goes through is still part of His will. He could end it right here and now, but His will is described in Revelations. The battleground we live right now is part of His plan.

On earth as it is in heaven.

And here is the a phrase that tells us two things. Because this reflects back on the coming of God's kingdom, as well as His will. The Bible tells us that His kingdom will come to be here on earth, with Jeruzalem the "capitol city". Keep in mind that His kingdom will come. It is not here yet. At this moment earth is the battleground that will lead to His kingdom. In regards to His will however, there is no future tense. So in spite of our free will, His will is and shall prevail. This means that when we break His law, it still is His will that Satan has a right to torment us. Don't misunderstand this, God doesn't like it, He loves you and wants you back under His law, and will do anything He can to bring you back, but without changing His ultimate plan. He even sacrificed His only begotten Son to help you to come back to Him. But if you break His law or are unwilling to understand His word, His will is that you will be under Satan's curse. That is why the Bible tells us so many times about all these curses that God brings unto the people. God knows exactly what Satan will do unto them for not following God's law. There are even several places in the Bible where we can read that God gave someone and evil spirit, or a lying spirit, or a spirit of stupor. Given by God and for sure spirits, just not the Holy Spirit. But evil spirits, Satan's henchmen. But that is part of His will based on our free will to walk away from His law. As a minister I feel that God is doing this warning us. God uses Satan's torment, while Satan is His enemy, to warn us for what might be awaiting us. By allowing Satan to do this, we can already get a taste of the everlasting torment that awaits us in the lake of fire if we do not keep God's law. Everlasting cancer, everlasting pain, everlasting heart attacks, everlasting skin disorders, everlasting depression, everlasting addictions, everlasting rape, everlasting stress. Everlasting anything that is not of God. Everlasting torment, which we now are just experiencing bits and pieces of. And we humans are still not waking up to the warning.

Give us this day our daily bread.

God will provide. We humans run around all day, every day, attempting to provide for ourselves in worldly matters. But we tend to overlook what nutrition we really need. Jesus broke the bread and called it His body. The daily bread we need, and that God will give us, is the grace from the sacrifice Christ made for us. The daily bread is our daily portion of Christ. Interestingly, there is at least one Bible version out there that has translated this phrase into a request for three meals daily: Breakfast, lunch and dinner. I wonder what happened to Christ's body there.....

And forgive us our debts.

It is at this point where our request for redemption starts. And that starts by asking to be forgiven of the sins we have committed against God. We are in debt towards Him. There is however one very important thing to realize here. It says "our". That means you "own" that debt, that sin. It involves taking ownership of your sin, claiming responsibility. The shotgun approach of "I have no clue what sins I committed, but forgive me anyway" doesn't fly. That is not "our" sin, because you don't own it. That doesn't show you know the knowledge within the Bible. After all, it doesn't say "forgive us the sins you know we committed but we are not aware of any of them....". So awareness is key. Jesus said we had to repent and overcome. If you don't have awareness of your sin, you will never be able to overcome. Yeah, you might say, but I gave my life to Jesus, so I don't have to worry about any of that stuff anymore. I am forgiven automatically, I don't even have to be aware of sin anymore, because I am not under the law anymore but led by the Spirit. Are you really, or are you saying that because you hope so? You might want to go back to your Bible, and read up. Because it was in Revelations, where Christ rebuked the churches. One of the churches was told that He would take His light away from them if they would not overcome their sins. That didn't go automatic because He had died on the cross. They had to make that happen. Another church He told them to repent and overcome or He would erase their names from the Book of Life. Only a few were worthy. And they were believers, who had received the baptism of the Holy Spirit, leading the churches that had just started. And yet many of those were rebuked by Christ. So do you know which group you belong to? The few worthy ones or the rest that needs to repent and overcome. Are you sure you repented and overcame, so that your name will not be erased from the Book of Life?! But then, are you aware of what you need to repent for, what you need to overcome? And beware this awareness also counts for the generational iniquities. Yes, God is aware that you can't go back in time and see what your ancestors have done wrong. But through Biblical principle and the torment you are experiencing you can at least get a reasonable idea what sins might have been committed. Sins of which you still carry the burden and the torment. Repent and overcome! The awareness that generational iniquities are part of you, combined with a desire to find the truth shows God you hunger for His knowledge. So awareness of sins and generational iniquities is key. And that awareness can only come from knowing God's law, having knowledge, and weighing that against your own personal experiences. I feel I need to address one more area here, again. Many "born again" Christians will claim that since they are "born again", they don't have to worry about the sin issue anymore. Some will claim to not be tempted anymore, while even Christ Himself was tempted. Others will even say that because they are in Christ, they are not under the law anymore. As a minister I disagree. Yes, there is a verse that says if we are being led by the Spirit we are not under the law. But the "if" already includes a condition. And on top of that it says "being led". So if we are being led by the flesh, sin, we are not being led by the Holy Spirit which brings us back under the law. So far there has been only one man who was one hundred percent led by the Spirit, and that was Christ Himself. Satan tried to persuade even Him into following him instead of the Father. So even if obe hundred percent lead by the Holy Spirit, you will still be tempted. We are sinful by nature and therefore are under the law as soon as we do not let the Spirit lead us. If you read your Bible, the whole New Testament teaches us to not fall back into sin. Yes, it teaches about Christ's grace and sacrifice, which most Bible thumbing believers will readily point out to you. But His sacrifice does not give us a "get out of jail for free" ticket if we continue to sin without repentance from our heart. Which you can find out about in all the verses that point out at our responsibility, which most Bible thumbing believers will not point out to you because they themselves do not want to be confronted with these verses. One verse tells us that if we willingly sin after we received the truth, that there is no sacrifice anymore to cover those sins. Or that we sin more because of His grace, because God forbids that. Even stronger, Christ teaches us that if we offend Him we shall be forgiven, but that if we offend the Holy Spirit, there shall be no forgiveness. To receive the Holy Spirit and then willingly and repeatedly sin, to let evil re-gain access rights to your body, soul and spirit could be such an offense. So if you have been "born again", and received the Holy Spirit, and then offend that blessing by falling right back into sin, there is no sacrifice to cover you anymore. Which would perfectly align with Christ telling us to repent and overcome or our name might be erased from the Book of Life. The only thing the Bible doesn't mention is what it specifically takes to offend the Holy Spirit, although there is an indication that continuing to willingly sin after receiving the Holy Spirit is such a thing. The Bible tells us that sexual immoralities are a sin against our own body, with our body being the temple of the Holy Spirit. So sexual immoralities are indicated to fall in the category of offense very likely. Which could mean that anyone who received the Holy Spirit and looked at a woman lustfully has already committed this offense, if we take Christ's words at heart. In that case there will be very few men's names in the Book of Life....... And I feel that counts the other way around as well, so women, beware... But I would recommend not to take offending the Holy Spirit for a test run. Neither to take a gamble with the "repent and overcome" statement. After all, to whom much is given, much is required.

As we forgive our debtors.

This one will hurt. Yes, we will only received forgiveness when we are forgiving others. So you can go to church, say your prayers, repent, overcome, ask for deliverance from evil, claim to be born again, have your pastor tell you that you are, but if you did not forgive all that is not going to do the slightest thing. Because if you still carry that unforgiveness towards someone, you will not be forgiven. Your sins are still with you, evil still has the right to dwell within you, your worldly torment still continues. You can pray and pray, you can read your Bible twenty-four-seven, you can run to church every hour, your pastor can put on a clown suit and jump through burning hoops in an attempt to move the heavens for you, but until you forgive nothing will happen. Christ repeated this statement after he taught His disciples the Lord's prayer, so take this very serious. If you do not forgive, so will your Father in Heaven not forgive you. Do you still hold a grudge? Still have not forgiven that person who abused you? How about that person who stole from your sister, forgiven him yet? Or your boss who cut your pay?..... Get the point? You forgive in order to be forgiven. If you haven't done that yet, count on it that you have not been forgiven either. And if you understand the "Who told you...." concept, it should be easy to forgive. It wasn't that person anyway, who did that thing you are unable to forgive. They were "told" to do so, and reacted like a puppet on a string. Or they had no other choice, like your boss, because business is experiencing tough times or you just didn't do your job good enough. And yes, if "someone told them", it was their choice to react, but haven't we all. He who has not sinned is allowed to throw the first stone, right?! Now this is where you might look back at the previous chapter, because what is going through your head is probably something like: "But what he did was worst...". Sorry, that doesn't count anymore. No grading scales on sin anymore. So being forgiven requires a big step from our side. A hurdle that most people will never take. And therefore they will never be forgiven. While God is waiting longingly with His arms stretched out to come to you, to pour His love out over his long lost child. Yet the unwillingness to forgive is one of the major reasons people will never experience the true power of God. While He gave His only Son so you can be forgiven. Now how can we really show God that we are forgiving the other person. In Job it is shown to us that when he prayed for his friends, God lifted the torment from him and blessed him with more than he had lost. So pray for those you need to forgive, sincerely, from your heart.

So let's move on to the next two lines. When I was a child, learning how to pray the Lord's prayer, I was taught it's meaning as it is still taught in most churches today, including the next two lines. I will first bring you that way of looking at them, and then I will discuss what I read when I read these two lines of the Lord's prayer now. Same words, somewhat the same meaning, very different outcome.

And do not lead us into temptation.

Most people pray this as a request to be led out of temptation when it hits. Like a "please make me strong when that temptation hits, so that you lead me out of the temptation". Could make sense if not combined with the next line, but the next line starts with "but", indicating it refers back to this.

But deliver us from the evil one.

So we follow through on the request to make us strong, realizing that we are weak. In light of that we then ask to please keep Satan at a safe distance from us. There are many congregations and Bible translations that leave the "but" out, that connects the two lines, and replace it with "and". Which would make sense if we would look at it in a way it is taught there. Make us strong and keep evil far away.

And do not lead us into temptation, But deliver us from the evil one.

Now let's read this again, but with the two lines connected with "but", and then put an emphasis on "deliver". Now it reads: God, you might as well just forget trying to lead us when temptation comes to us. Better than to not lead us into the temptation, cast the evil one out of us all together. See, we all understand that after the forgiveness part of redemption the second step in the redemption process needs to take place. To make sure we will not sin again. Because we all know that even if we are forgiven of our sins, that Lucifer and his henchmen will keep screaming at us, trying to persuade us to sin again. And if we were immune because Christ's sacrifice automatically covered us, do your really think Satan and his henchmen would put any time and effort in trying to persuade you. That would mean they were wasting their time. After all, they are not omnipresent like God. So if you came to Christ and are still being tempted, that means Satan and his henchmen understand something that most of Christianity denies. You can be tempted away from Christ and have Satan gain another soul to his kingdom. Therefore there are those sneaky thoughts, feelings and emotions they put in our head. If it was just that Satan was coming by to tempt us, to put thoughts, feelings and emotions in our head, we would have a chance to win the battle if we ask God to remind us to not go for it. We would just ask Him to lead us out of the temptation. To lead us not into temptation. But the problem is that we keep committing sin upon sin because of our sinful nature. We follow the temptation anyway and sin, because there is more to it then just temptation. How often is it that we are tormented in our lives, become weak through that and then give into temptation that appears as a form of comfort or even a cure, or we vent our frustration about or torment. But no matter how much comfort and relief we find, it will catch up with us at some point and turn into more torment. And in spite of God's voice in our head working really hard to not lead us into temptation, we still sin. And don't tell me that before you start acting out your sinful ways, you don't have something in the back of your mind telling you not to. Although, maybe you don't hear it, because you have been trained by some other kingdom to not hear it anymore. The evil one that dwells within is blocking what you need to hear. That is part of Satan's torment. To disconnect us from God. However, in many places on earth God's knowledge is freely available to mankind. We can openly and freely discuss it. In other areas this is more restricted. But in general, even under the danger of being prosecuted, God's knowledge is available to us. He is making His law available for us to understand so that we can be free from that bondage. Yet in spite of that we live lives where we constantly fall for temptations, pray to be not lead into temptation, read His word somewhat in ways we would like to understand it, fall for temptation again, and we still feel He is not helping us good enough. Who is falling short here? May I suggest to throw out the television, skip on the Internet junk. Skip on whatever doesn't feed your body, mind and spirit correctly, and start studying God's law. So we do not just want to be led out of temptation, but we want to be delivered from that what brings us that temptation while tormenting us. We will all have to agree that it is better to have that removed than get strength when the evil one sometimes comes by to scream in our head in an attempt to persuade us to sin.

However, it is in understanding the accurate description in the Lord's prayer in regards to "delivery from evil" that most of Christianity fails. Oh, we have been forgiven.... (are you sure that you forgave others, or do you have to think about that a little more?). Oh, we stand strong when temptation comes our way.... (so you do not change plans based on fear, you don't express bitterness, you don't fall for unGodly cures for your torment, you bring every thought into captivity and weigh it against the law of God? Or do you need to think about that one a little more too?). So when Christ tells us it it better to be delivered from the evil one, or as some Bible versions say, delivered from evil then to just ask to be strong in the face of temptation, why does most of Christianity then not understand the negative impact of co-habitation with evil. After all, Christians will gladly tell you they are saved, and that they have nothing to worry about anymore. All while they are bending under worldly torment as much as non-believers.

Now here is what I as a minister hear all too often: "Evil spirits dwelling in me, and I need to be delivered from them?? No, that can't be. I am saved by Christ". It is time to read the Bible for yourself instead of listening to people who claim this is not true, all while they are leaving this truth out of their teachings because "someone is telling them"! These so-called teachers were called hypocrites by Christ. And He did not call them that one time either! Claiming to teach God's word, while being unaware they are being led by something that is a spirit, just not the Holy One. Harsh words, yes. Well, maybe not! As the minister at Free From Bondage Ministry I am not set up to sweet talk you into the lake of fire, into everlasting torment. What would you rather have. To hear God tell you that you took His word too serious and overdid it, but therefore you will be made a priest in the new world. Or to hear God tell you that you didn't take it serious enough and therefore your name has been crossed out of the Book of Life and the lake of fire awaits you. The choice is yours! If you want to downgrade your level of responsibility that you have towards God with running the risk skimping on it too much and taking the wide gate with the wide road to everlasting torment that most people will follow, go ahead. Just don't complain you didn't know.

Based on Christ's words calling the Pharisees and Scribes hypocrites I would like to address the following issue. I have heard these words so many times already in person or through e-mail: "But pastor says.....". Hello, there are priests out there having sex with little boys, research has shown that Christian convention bring in the most money for hotels in charges on the adult movies. Certain churches ordain gay and lesbians to preach, because "they are forgiven anyway", while they continue to live that sinful life. Pastors suffer from depression, cardiovasculair disease, cancer and addictions just as the rest of us. And "who is talking them into that..."? So before you write me that "but pastor says....", read your Bible for yourself. Lay out in the Bible what I bring you, and then study and take time to refute this. And if you feel you can, I am more than excited to spent my time on studying that together.

So jump back to where we were. Let's consider this. If evil, or the evil one, was something that would come by from time to time to tempt us, is deliverance from evil for redemption really needed? Wouldn't the "lead us not into" take care of it? One would think so, but no. Because in most cases evil is not just coming by from time to time to tempt us. Evil, or the evil one, is part of us, and we truly need to be delivered from it. Like a mother who pushes and forces her child out of her body, to deliver it and be delivered from it, so do we have to be delivered from evil.

In our up and coming Bible study we will go into much more detail, but there are numerous descriptions in the Bible that show us evil spirits literally live within us. Interestingly enough also on this subject the newer Bible versions are translated such that it deflates this knowledge. "Dwelling within" is replaced with "Dwelling among us". Sounds the same, but has very different implications. So to be delivered from the evil one, means that an evil spirit (or more than one) needs to be cast from us, taken out of us. Now how many Christians understand that this is what they ask God to do for us when we ask for delivery in the Lord's prayer? Yet this a very important part. Because if we do not cast that evil from us, then it maintains it's right to dwell in us. It maintains it's right to torment us and the generations that follow. It maintains it's rights to make us bow under pain and misery to force us into following his temptations. And even if we do not bow under that force, we fall into sin because we doubt God because we still have torment going. We still suffer that addiction, we still are controlled by fear, we still have that illness, we still have those problems. Evil needs to be removed, and the more specific we can be in our request to have those evil spirits removed, the better. And as lined out in the previous chapter, there is logic to the madness. Certain torment comes from certain sin, which can help us in our awareness for sin issues. That can also help us in guiding us towards understanding the generational iniquities. It shows God that we understand, that we have knowledge. That we hunger for truth.

For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever.

And we ask God the Father in Heaven because He is the most high. He is king, He is all the power, He is the glory. For as long as it lasts, which is forever.

Amen.

Which simply means: "Truth". realize however that if you do not fully understand the Lord's prayer, and you finish it with "Amen", it could be considered a sin of deceit because you would be calling something you don't understand truth. Just something to think about.....

So let's review and ponder on a few more related things. All and all the Lord's prayer, in which we might ask God to do much for us, is showing us how much we have to do. How much responsibility lies with us. Next to owning our sins by understanding what sin we committed and that we might be affected by generational iniquities, we need to forgive others before we can be forgiven. We need to listen before acting, hold every thought captive when temptation comes. And in understanding God's law and hearing His warnings when temptation hits, He will not lead us into that temptation. He has it all laid out for us, but it is mostly due to our ignorance and lack of knowledge that we still get dragged into sin. It is an insult to Jesus Christ to use his sacrifice to cover our ignorance and unwillingness to learn, fall for the temptations and then still ask to have His sacrifice cover us. The Bible tells us that there is no sacrifice that will cover our sins after we have received the truth. And if we really want to start with a clean slate, we have to understand what evil spirits have a right to live within us, if we have sinned repeatedly like we all have. It is much better to be delivered from evil than to just have strength during temptation. God told us to have knowledge. So show your knowledge and ask Him specifically what evil spirit to be delivered from. The spirit of fear, and what kind of fear. Unloving spirits, spirit of perfectionism, spirits of....... (just fill in the blank).

If we now truly understand the intensity of the Lord's prayer, we should have a starting realization how much we have been listening to the kingdom of Satan. When visiting church after church, you will find out that all to often the Lord's prayer in all it's power and glory has been stripped and twisted. Most congregations make people believe it is simply saying: "I believe in Jesus", and that all will be well. If to be "born again" would mean to start with a clean slate or at least truly understand God's law, or having received the Holy Spirit, then the majority of Christians might have re-think their "born again" status. Because your sins are not forgiven unless you have forgiven. God works hard to warn you when temptation hits, but most Christians are not even aware what all falls under temptation and don't hear God who is telling them not to get dragged into that sin. And the average believer doesn't spent nearly enough time in their lifetime to pass their final exam of the fifteen hundred pages of life's lessons called the Bible. But they listen to Satan and think it are their own thoughts, feelings and emotions. And then there are for sure very few Christians that understand Christ tells us we need to be cleaned from evil spirits, so the souls of all those Christians not understanding that, are still cluttered by Lucifer / Satan and his henchmen. And we as a religion wonder why we don't see the miracles, that Jesus performed, happening in our churches, our homes and our communities. Because we have been told (guess who told us...?) that we are "saved", that we have received the Holy Spirit, even if we did not. It is time to wake up to the Word, and discard the thoughts, feelings and emotions that are making us believe whatever they want to.

Just as a side note, there are people out there doing everything and anything to attract people to their congregation. They speak in tongues, hit people on the forehead to heal them of whatever in front of a large gathering, or go in a trance to prophesy. And masses follow them, almost worshipping them as if they are Christ himself. Consider Satan knows the Bible from cover to cover better than any of us. He tempted Christ for forty days, and don't think for a second that was an easy mind game. If Satan can cripple us, give us neurological disorders, allergies, drive us to sexual immoralities, he can make us speak in tongues. And Satan will heal people (temporarily), if it means he can drag more people into taking his counsel. And with the end times drawing nearer, Satan will use sneakier ways then ever to mislead you. After all, he comes disguised as an angel of light. So what do I recommend to make sure it isn't Satan misleading you. You come to God through you gaining knowledge by reading and studying the Bible. You get healed because you use that knowledge to connect with God. Beware of the so-called middleman. In the spiritual warfare we are dealing with, there is a lot of invisible risk by placing someone between you and God. After all, by Christ's sacrifice, and giving us the possibility to receive the Holy Spirit, God allows us to become part of the God head. God the Father, the Son Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit, with the Holy Spirit being in you. Why put anything or anyone in between that intimate relationship God has called you out for? I do not wish to at any moment be viewed as a person through which you get to God. I just provide you with the knowledge you need out of the fifteen hundred pages that encompass the Bible, so that you have a better chance to achieve that intimate relationship with God.

So with all that is involved maybe it isn't all as easy as it looked like after all. And it is not that I want to complicate matters even more, but I really want to get the point across what level of responsibility we have towards God and His Son Jesus Christ. So let me ask you a challenging question. But before I ask, I want you to picture your worst enemy before you. Got that person clearly in your head? Then let's get to the challenge. Jesus taught us we need to love not just those who love us, but that we should also love our enemies. That we need to love how He loved us. Christ laid down His life for us, and the Bible tells us we also need to lay down our lives for others, which would include our enemies. Would you undergo a flocking and beating beyond recognition? Have a thorn crown pushed on your head? Carry a heavy wooden cross through the streets while people throw anything rotten and dirty at you? Get nailed to that cross to then die a slow and painful death? All that, to give your worst enemy, whom you just pictured, a chance to go to Heaven?!? No guarantee, but just a chance. Are you ready to be in Christ Jesus such that you would die a death like that, just like how Christ did that for you and His worst enemies, if your Heavenly Father asked you to do so??

If your answer was "yes", and you are truly serious about that, I applaud you. And not to be judgmental, but I do question how serious a large percentage of those who answered "yes" truly are. Because most of you that said "yes", and for sure those who said "no", give in so much easier than that. Some of you let Satan destroy the Temple of the Holy Spirit, your body, by tempting you in sugary foods, cigarettes, drugs, alcohol, sex and other addictions. And others live lives filled with fear. Or anger, bitterness, resentment, unforgiveness. Or they run after that what pleases mankind, worried what other people might think of them. Over fifty percent of all marriages end in divorce, with Christian marriages even more than that (!!). And in those marriages that survive there still is huge numbers of sexual immoralities or a lifestyle that is pretty much the same as if the parents are divorced. Many parents consider the television or MySpace more important than spending time with the children. Children are rushed to multiple different activities, killing the family spirit because there is no time for family dinners anymore while the coaches raise the kids with an ungodly attitude of "whatever it takes to win". We are driven to perform for worldly matters. The number one prescribed drugs in America are antidepressants. One out of four people die of cardiovascular disease. One out of six dies of cancer. The number three cause of death are the side effects of FDA approved drugs, telling us how much drugs America is taking. Suicide is within the top ten causes of death. America is on average morbidly obese bringing along misery and suffering that is far beyond any war ever fought. Pornography is a multi-billion dollar industry. Crime rates are up every year. More people than ever are up to their eyeballs in debt, with personal bankruptcies, in which people skip on their responsibilities of paying for what they consumed, breaking records every year. The high school drop-out numbers are rising, and gang activity in and out of the schools is an ever increasing problem. And if we then consider that just breaking one part of God's law makes us guilty of breaking it all, we can all agree that the majority of us can do much better. That the majority is walking after the flesh, rather than walking after the Spirit. And that includes us Christians, because the statistics are generally not any different for the followers of Christ. Ignorance, a lack of knowledge and an unwillingness to admit we can learn and do better drive the masses right into Satan's court. We are by the droves taking the big gate, walk the big road, leading to the lake of fire. Very few take the other gate with the narrow road..... But we are for sure going to Heaven.......

And I understand you might have heard these kind of statistics before. There are plenty of magazines addressing this. Success principles address this issue in dozens of books and magazines as well. It might even have been a religious leader bringing this to you. All with a request in there to shape up, to improve. But without any regard for what is causing these statistics to happen. Yes, we have to shape up and improve our ways. But very few of those telling you bring you the background information that there is more going on behind the scenes. A spiritual warfare that is much more then just being tempted from time to time. It is our mission at Free From Bondage Ministry to expose that warfare in such ways that people might finally understand what they are dealing with.

Now do I claim myself to be perfect. By no means. I catch myself all the time that I messed up again. Just a few weeks ago, late one night I caught myself in the office, falling back into some old behaviors. It wasn't until my allergies re-appeared full strength out of seemingly nowhere, that I realized what I had been doing. That's how caught up I had been in getting work done. I prayed that Christ's sacrifice would forgive me for that, using the Lord's prayer in my own words. The allergies tapered off right away although there was some after effect lasting through the next morning. But it would be an insult to Christ if I knowingly and willingly repeated that same mess over and over again, figuring that since I claim to believe in Christ I will be saved by His grace. His sacrifice and grace are not an excuse to follow Satan willingly or in utter ignorance. Look where you can improve and get started. It is never to late to get started. And is it about being perfect? No, we should all realize we will never accomplish that. But we can get a little better every day.

Does that mean we wil be free from all torment. No! In writing this book it felt like Satan was sitting by my side, watching my every move. Life was bouncing from one minute to the next in and out of torment, depending on minuscule issues that never seemed to be an invitation for Satan and his henchmen to come by and torment me. It could have easily created so much distraction in my life that this book would have become a five or ten year project. But prayer pulled me through, and made me aware that this book had to be finished rather sooner than later. I also had a timespan of seven nights in a row where the torment became so fierce that I doubted if I wanted to continue to expose Satan's war strategies. Seven night I was haunted by nightmares about all terrible things that could happen to me and my family. Nightmares in which I was bullied with an ongoing barrage of partial Bible verses out of which no-one would have been able to make sense, all while I was clearly told "see, you can't make any sense out of this. Night after night I couldn't breath. I told my wife it truly felt as if someone was sitting on my chest and was choking me with both hands. Mix this with an ongoing barrage of worldly matters and lusts, even in the form of pictures flashing through my head. If this was what my life would be like I didn't know if I wanted to continue. Yet the idea that this was just a snapshot of what everlasting torment would be like, made me aware that I had to continue. Just one more person saved from Satan's snare would be worth it. I prayed ongoing to be relieved from this torment, but all I got back was to pursue and stand strong. After seven days and nights it disappeared as instantly as it had come.

As I mentioned before, it is impossible for us humans to cross the distance between God and us. On moving towards Him, He will come to us. My fierceness in pointing out our responsibilities towards God is because I want to see more people free from Satan's bondage. I have no means to tell you how far you personally have to move towards God before He moves to you. That is up to God. For some of you it might be to be where you are, but ask more specific with the knowledge gained from this book. Maybe it is changing who you are praying to. Maybe do more for the community, or get a little better at taking your thoughts into captivity. But it might also be that for God's plan that He has in mind for you to come through, you need to really go as far out as I have laid out in this book. Either way it is a good thing. And it is worth it to find God in His full power, grace and might working in your life. Also here, I do want to give you a "beware". Satan will give you winning moments in life, to make you think you have God's grace covering you. Which can be most clearly found in the health arena with treatments that give temporary relief. Never stop moving towards God because you think He has come to you. It might just be a deceiving spirit testing you out, just to drag you all the way back down if you give in to that temptation. The apostles did not get lazy and sat down on their behind either, after they received the Holy Spirit. They only got started at that moment.

And then there is a little more to consider when moving towards God, to complicate the matter. Jesus told us to not use vain repetition in prayer, as to sound important. He also said to not use fancy words, as to sound important. That we should pray in private. Realize that God already knows what you will be asking, He just wants to see if you have figured it out. If you will do your part. See, He is looking for those who will be the kings and priests that will rule the new world. If you cannot figure it out for yourself now, how do you think to help anyone else.

One thing we want to make clear is that the casting out of evil spirits does not necessarily have to go through prayer. Christ prayed a lot, but He told most evil spirits with a loud voice to just leave the person. And so did the apostles in Jesus' name. But Jesus also told us that not every evil spirit responds the same. Some cannot just be told to leave in the name of Jesus Christ, and require prayer and fasting. Realize in all this that Christ knew if the person He was dealing with believed. Yes, even the believers still had the evil spirits dwelling within them, and were tormented with ailments, diseases and problems. It required specific action to cast that out, which is the deliverance of evil. But even He could not do the mighty work if the people did not believe. Now none of us is unblemished like Christ, so we cannot see if the person in front of us is a true believer, in which case we can pray, fast and rebuke for that evil spirit to leave that person, but nothing might happen. Or the evil spirit leaves, only to return a season later with seven wicked friends because the delivered person wasn't that much of a believer anyway, and that house remained empty after evil left. In that case the person is worst of than before. Yet if the person is a strong believer, just "Boooohhh" can be pretty much enough at times. I recommend in general however, since we cannot see into the person or sense what type of evil spirit we are dealing with, that we leave it to the person to personally deal with the evil spirit, while we use prayer in the name of Jesus Christ to support the individual going through that.

We should all be aware that freedom from torment does not come on our time. It comes on God's time. It is His will, so He decides when what will happen. Could be right away, could drag on for some time. But always look at an extension of torment keeping in mind that God could be holding freedom from that torment from us because we still need to move towards Him more.

We also need to keep in mind what Christ repeatedly mentioned. To not follow Him with our lips, but with our hearts. Your faith is a heart matter, not a word game. Pray from your heart, repent from your heart, overcome from your heart. Have you ever prayed on your knees with your head bowed and your eyes closed, mumbling your words. All while you felt like standing up, looking at the Heavens, making eye contact and screaming your praise and desires from the top of your lungs. But you didn't because your church taught you to bow respectfully, to pray in your head, with closed eyes, etc. The Bible shows us that big leaders did bow their heads, closed their eyes. But we also read about how so-and-so "stood and cried out to heaven with his arms stretched out". The Bible mentions that we should come before God boldly. And we know that Jesus Himself stood before the crowds and asked with a loud voice and raised arms for God to bless the food. Which turned a few loafs and a few fish in a meal that served thousand. So how do you pray?

We want you to picture this. Your Father, all loving, all forgiving, full of grace. He wants so much for you to be forgiven, to be free from that torment, because He loves you. He is so big and mighty that He can breath out stars, created everything from nothing, formed man from a hand of dust, and He cares about you more than you can ever imagine. He cares so much that He sacrificed His own Son for you. He is standing right before you right now. How would you talk to Him about what you have on your mind? There will be times you will be on your knees, head bowed, mumbling your words, trembling in fear of the Lord. Yet other times you will want to run to Him, wanting to hug Him, beg Him for whatever in a loud exciting voice. Both are perfect, when done from the heart. And both will show Satan who you wish to follow. The more openly and sincere you express yourself, the more Satan will fear you, which will make him flee because you openly resist him.

So how do you know when you pray from your heart? Well, if your body shows the signs that you are emotionally involved, and you are not faking them in the hope to find favor with God. And these will not all happen, because it also depends on what you are working out with God. But from experience we can tell you it can include all of them in a matter of an hour if you go through the life changing event of being truly forgiven and it involves casting out tormenting evil spirits. Your tears might run freely. You might get a lump in your throat. You might get goosebumps, get a tightness in your stomach. You knees might tremble, or even your whole body might shake. You are not able to control your voice, so you might speak mumbling soft or you could be screaming. You might find yourself standing up with your hands raised unaware you were doing that, or you are curled up on the floor soaked in tears and sweat. Let it happen, don't hold back. After all, your life depends on it.

Points to ponder:

In this chapter I want to go over a few points that need to be considered in understanding what this book has brought you so far. Because it is easy to use this information wrong and do others harm in the process. Guess who would be working in the background to make you do that.....

So let's start with a few example case studies. Because it would be so easy to make the wrong conclusions. Consider that a good friend is diagnosed with cancer. How easy would it be to label that person as an individual who must have been very bitter, carrying a lot of resentment and unforgiveness, having a poorly functioning immune system due to feeling and acting unloved and unloving. In a flash your perspective of your friend changed. Deep inside you feel this is not how you know your friend, but based on Biblical principle brought to you in this book, you have to draw the conclusion your friend is just a bitter, unforgiving person who is incapable of receiving and giving love. A dangerous judgement to make, especially since the Bible tells us we should not judge. So think along with me on this case.

Your friends great-grand-father fought in the first world war. When he returned from the front, he was physically and emotionally scarred. Coming home he found out his wife had presumed him dead, and she had ran of with another. And since he had changed because of the war it seemed no use to her to reconcile the relationship. Leaving the great-grand-father with two children to raise. Great-grand-father did his utmost best in raising the two, but at moments expressed his frustration. Not repeatedly enough to give Satan access rights, but giving one of the kids a negative impression about the mother he doesn't know. Throughout his life this child falls for the temptations to blame everything that doesn't go well in his life on the fact that his mother ran away. He finally dies as a bitter individual, full of unforgiveness and resentment. The door for bitter and unforgiving spirits has been opened unto the family tree for the next three to four generations.

Your friend has been feeling this bitterness, resentment and unforgiveness inside him, but has fought hard his whole life to not give into those temptations. But his dad did not. When your friend was young, his dad was unable to withstand the torment of the ongoing barrage of bitterness. In an attempt to ease his suffering, his dad would drink heavily and become aggressive. He would scream at his wife, sometimes beat her. He would yell at the children for no reason. As a child your friend felt abused and unloved. It broke his spirit, leaving him with an unloving spirit who crashed his immune system. And this got reinforced when his dad died of liver cancer at the age of forty-seven. Since he was never delivered from the bitter spirit that still has access rights to him in spite of not giving into the temptations, the combination with the unloving spirit lowering his immunity makes that his body in unable to fight the minuscule cancer growth coming forward out of the lingering bitterness. Your friend knows this family history and vowed to never be like that, and he kept his vow, even though ever day is a struggle and a fight to not give in. But due to a lack of Biblical knowledge, he still suffers Satan's torment brought to him through the generations before him.

I hope this made-up example gives enough insight about how careful we need to be with our conclusions. Now let's look at a few real cases.

A forty-two year old male, history of asthma and lots of childhood allergies. As a child using multiple medications in an attempt to keep all that under control. Any influenza coming by would mean one to two months of bedrest. At the age of six he was diagnosed with Mono, but his immune system did not kick in until six months later. By that time doctors were at a loss, wondering if an undetected form of leukemia was disabling the immune system. The health issues remained until the age of eleven after which immunity seemed to respond faster. The frequent and severe asthma attacks tapered off until pretty much gone by the age of fourteen, although attacks would still come by from time to time. Allergies remained an ongoing problem, turning into allergic reactions during certain times of the year that should have required hospitalization. Some relief was found in his early twenties through homeopathy. From already a very young age there was excitement in regards to nudity increasing to an ongoing longing for sex at a later age. Starting in the teenage years this individual found himself heavily involved in alcohol, with strong tendencies to get addicted to pretty much anything. Shaking the alcohol addiction on pure will power, anything else remained an everyday battle to not become an addict to common things like sports, adventure, food, the Internet, sex, work, money and the list goes on and on. In his early thirties, this man started with regular visits to the homeopath, matched with the use of Chinese herbs, acupressure, mind control and other alternative treatments to conquer his increasing allergies and fight against addictions. Although there were moments of relief, the problems seemed to return with increasing strength. There also seemed to be an increase in areas of possible addictions, including a need to control everyone and everything around him. On top of this depression symptoms started forming. At the age of forty all possible treatments seemed to have been used. The homeopath related to him not be able to help anymore, just as other disciplines. By now depression was fully up and running. The individual considered his three remaining options: 1- suicide. 2- packing everything up and disappearing into the world on adventures that would most likely kill him within the next year. But these two options, however easy to choose, were not really options due to the love he felt for his wife and son. Or 3- picking up the Bible which he had had some connection with during his childhood. Which, based on the principles described on this book, resulted in a complete cure within six months of starting the study on his torment. There are some mild seasonal allergy symptoms remaining that we are still working on.

It is interesting in this case to note a few more things. This individual's father suffered through very much the same patterns, but less apparent. Although the asthma disappeared around the age of forty, but then severe headaches with complete black-outs that could last for days took that place. Eventually all this lead to being declared disabled. The individuals father was not really able to cope with his son following the same pattern already as a child, therefore never was really supportive and openly loving towards his son. At a later age the father developed prostate cancer just as the father's three brothers.

So what do we see here? Let's start at the previous generation, the father. Allergies from a broken spirit, being accessed by an unloving spirit, not even able to love one self anymore. Asthma from small matter accusations and ongoing anger towards others as well as to self, which is easily moved into considering the unloving spirits. The inability to cope with his young son suffering the same problems increased his self accusation and accompanied anger, which increased the imbalance in the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system. This resulted in the headaches and black-outs. All this however is fueled by something that took place in the father's childhood home or in even the generation before that. Something that sparked a spirit of bitterness towards all four brothers in that family, breaking the father's spirit and bringing accusation in the process.

With the father never being delivered from evil spirits of bitterness and accusation, and unloving spirits, all this was passed on to the individual of this case study. With the increasing allergies and addictions the need to re-gain control leads to controlling others. This need for control is fueled by a spirit of accusation. This brought in enough resentment and unforgiveness to bring the unforgiving spirits in. Top this of with bringing in false religions and false healers, believing that would bring the cure, opened the door for deceiving spirits. The overall torment was enough to create a desire (addiction) towards total freedom, willing to end life for that.

So how did freedom from this torment come about? Starting with prayer to ask for strength and guidance for those individuals this case study was trying to control. That took the need for personally controlling these individuals and situations away and handed it over to God. It also made that the case study forgave the individuals who he felt needed to be straightened out. This forgiveness followed by a forgiveness of his father for not providing the support in the childhood years. After all, it wasn't the father doing this. He was "told to do so". Forgiving these individuals opened the door for God to forgive our case study for his sins. After which it was just asking to have the unloving spirits, sexual spirits, deceiving spirits, the spirits of accusation, the spirits of resentment and unforgiveness to be cast back to their dry place. Once the knowledge was gained where the torment came from, it was from start to finish a close to two hour prayer from the heart that cured this person. There are some minor seasonal spring time allergy symptoms left, which we are still working on.

Interestingly this individual also suffered from episodes of hiccups about once a week that would last for hours at a time. This had been going on since early childhood. These hiccups were crippling in strength, very painful. The only way to stop them was holding his breath repeatedly until almost passing out, sometimes taking these measures repeatedly for up to half an hour. A few month after his delivery from all the other evil, this individual decided to tackle this issue as torment from an evil spirit. A one minute prayer took the hiccups away, and they have not returned for eleven months by now.

And his father? That's up to the father. He is being fed information by his son but gaining the knowledge and making the actual move to come to God at this level is up to that father.

So let's look at another case. A young woman who after a severe trauma suffered from severe depression for many years already. The Bible tells us, as you can find in the list I compiled, that "anxiety in the heart of man causes depression". So we are dealing with a spirit of fear, fear for the unknown. Which is not strange since the trauma had enough impact that it significantly changed her life. This young woman was already a believer in God, Christ and the Bible, and in spite of the trauma did not hold any noticeable grudges to anyone. Just making her aware of the fact that she was carrying a spirit of fear within her that was causing her depression delivered her pretty much immediate. She has not suffered depression for eight months by the time of writing this.

A forty-six year old male who suffered (and still is) through a series of seemingly undiagnosable problems. It started about ten years ago with a couple of days of total paralysis with a high fever in which the doctors could not find anything. This episode followed a tough break-up from living in sin with a woman. During this break-up this man believed his girlfriend would either hurt him or kill him for breaking up with her, causing a lot of fear. In the years following the hospitalization from the paralysis, this man married and had children. He worries a lot about the well being of his family. Then heart arrhythmia appeared. Nothing showed up on any heart tests. With the chiropractor and homeopathy the symptoms disappeared, but back problems appeared. With later on the heart issue re-appearing. More alternative treatments have now expanded the problems to heart arrhythmia, back problems, hyperventilation, and stomach problems. With the doctors by now telling him he must be suffering some kind of nerve pain. This case study is a believer in evolution who does teach his kids to act and behave as Christ. He does not believe in the Bible or creation, but uses the example of Christ to teach his children an honest way to live. I brought him some basic concepts from our ministry, which sparked curiosity and skepticism. That was months ago. He is currently scheduled for stomach tests, still finding temporary relief for his other problems through alternative channels. He is looking for a solution for each separate problem. What I see, is a spirit of fear that is influencing his sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system. I only hope that he will come to God through deliverance from evil before the problems become an actual diagnosable problem that would require a creative miracle from God to fix. And by the way, this person is a prime candidate for depression.

A father of a four year old boy related to us how the little boy had a dry asthmatic cough every morning for fifteen to twenty minutes. The boy had this since his first day after birth. There were also some allergies towards cats and dogs that would always result in croup like symptoms. No doctor or alternative treatment was able to bring relief. One night this dad, after learning the principles we bring you and helping himself in several areas, took a few hours to pour his heart out to God in regards to his son. The next morning the son woke up without coughing, and there have been no allergy symptoms since then.

We could bring you more, but we don't want this to become a testimony book. We might have that one follow at some point.

And then I want to close the case studies with one more scenario. This is not a real case, but I want to make clear how things can stack up, and how the medical community can really miss the boat in what is going on.

A young woman is raised in a family where the dad was raised very prejudice towards other races. Although he did not show much of that towards his children this "infected" her with a spirits of accusation, anger, hostility and hatred. Top that of with fear when her dad pretty much abandoned her when she brought a friend with a different skin color home, the only time he really expressed his racism. In her late teens this young woman develops mild asthma symptoms that don't require daily medication but an inhaler. Medical science has done studies showing that hatred and hostility reduce lung function. The lingering hostile spirit together with the spirit of accusation bring this unto her. However, since the symptoms are mild she hardly ever carries her inhaler with her. Without her knowing it, her episodes of heavier breathing causes her neck muscles to get somewhat over worked. Around this time she also walks away from God because she didn't find much relief in running to church every sunday. She is too busy and stressed out already. Not making the link, she does wake up with neck pain and stiffness in the neck more frequent, because God think she is stiff necked. Unknowingly her deep seated fear based on her father's response in the situation with the friend, raises her sympathetic nervous system a notch, lowering her recovery and healing abilities. The stiff neck, the increased use of the neck muscles during heavy breathing, combined with slower healing and recovery creates swelling in certain muscles in the neck. These muscles are trapping nerves and blood vessels that go out to the arms, causing reduced circulation on top of the slower recovery and healing. Compressed nerves in between the same neck muscles give pains in the arm, mostly around the elbow and the wrist, sometimes also including the shoulder. Over time the increasing damage from the slow healing in the arm, combined with nerve pain becomes a diagnosable problem called "carpale tunnel", "tennis'- or golfer's elbow". At the age of twenty seven this young woman has surgery on both wrists for carpal tunnel, but the pain remains. A sad and possibly very realistic case scenario how lingering evil spirits slowly build torment that will never be diagnosed as a spiritual problem.

I hope this limited number of case studies at least give some insight. Once you truly understand this, it will open your eyes, and it becomes so easy to see what is going on. After publication of the series of nineteen free e-books, I received an e-mail from someone with a request for help. There was a brief description of the problem, with some basic details. Writing a quick response based on that information, the e-mail that returned simply stated: "I have never heard a better sermon, or had anyone read me so well with so little information". I am not writing this to boast, but to show that it was clear and obvious enough what was happening that I could give a helpful response by a simple e-mail. It was easy by understanding that evil spirits were tormenting that person from the inside out based on habitual sin. I pray that this person finds her delivery through the guidelines from the Bible laid out in this book.

But lets move on to the next subject. A subject that is very close to my heart. Our children. How can our children deal with torment that comes to them. Our first inclination is to look where the torment is coming from. Either from previous generations, or from personal sin. However, with children we can pretty much skip that until they reach an age when they can fully understand what the Bible tells them. Beware, it says "when they can". That means they might not understand because of an unwillingness to learn, as with many adults. That becomes their own responsibility. But until then, we as parents, or as appointed guardians (guess why it is called "guardian"), are responsible for dealing with the torment.

Now I would not suggest to go sit on the foot end of your child's bed, telling the evil spirits out loud to go back to their dry place. Your child will be scared, might think you call him or her evil, feel unloved. Not a good thing to do. But there is a time to pray with them on their level, following the Lord's prayer as simply as possible, discussing their good and bad things of the day. Teach them to ask for forgiveness, and help them ask to keep the devil away so they can have pleasant dreams. Then, when you go to bed at night, and they are asleep, you sit or stand at their door, and let your heart speak in prayer. Very much the same as you would do for you, but do it for them. Does it work? Oh yes!! And when your child starts to get the hang of this through plain and simple conversation, you will be surprised to find out how they start handling this.

One morning our five year old son came walking into the kitchen, and we asked him how he had slept. He answered: "Good, but I was awake for a little while. I had this really scary dream. But I knew it was just the devil trying to scare me by putting that in my head. So I told him to leave, because God and Jesus love me. Then everything in my head was calm again, and I went right back to sleep". And he told us really matter of factly, as if it was the most normal thing on the face of the earth. Does this happen every time he has a bad dream? No, but when he comes to our room at night once ever other month or so, praying with him on his bed settles the issue within minutes and he goes back to sleep peacefully for the rest of the night. Now how many five year olds deal with a nightmare that way? Knowledge means freedom from bondage, even for a child that is pestered by the terror by night.

Now I know there are children dealing with the most horrible torment. St. Jude's hospital is filled with it, just as plenty of other places. Look and ask around. There is so much torment among the children, and there seems to be nobody who understands what these children really need. Their asthma, allergies, anger, nightmares, cancers, depression, diabetes, bone deformities, seizures, autism, and just fill in any blank you want, could be relieved if we as adults were willing to truly understand and stand up for our children on a spiritual level. But most of humanity doesn't even have a bit of knowledge to help themselves as adults, let alone help our children in that process. And that is not even counting the amount of children that don't even know their father or hardly ever see their parents. After all, it is more important to work for that big screen television or the motorbike than be there for your children.....

Well, in order to help children with this spiritual process I am planning on writing a "God's manual on...." specific for children and teenagers. I am not making any statements about when these should be published.

If you have read this book electronic cover to electronic cover, and you are practicing what you have read, you will do well with your children. But even if you don't wish to follow what this book has brought you, just be aware. The actions we take as adults can open the door within a child's mind to give evil permanent access. And if you do not wish to believe in evil spirits gaining access, just call it teaching them bad habits. We as adults have to be very careful with what we do, say, present. It is our responsibility.

A Final Note.

As a minister using books and the Internet to reach people, I do not have a church or a locally present following. Therefore I see only a very limited impact from the message I bring. Now I know that God wants me to bring this to you, and the fact that I was tormented for seven days and nights showed me Satan did not want me to. Which is plenty of food for my soul and spirit. But I would also love to hear your comments, your stories, your testimonies. Granted I will not answer to all of it, but it will help me expand my knowledge and insights to help all of you further. Your feedback could safe someone else. So do visit our website at www.freefrombondage.weebly.com and send us your feedback.

If you have a great testimony and are open to having that posted on our website, please let us know. We will only post testimonies that specifically mention that we can post them on our website. We will post your testimony as a direct copy-paste as how you send it to us. So make sure it doesn't include any information you don't want in there, names or the like.

I did receive a few reviews on the series of nineteen free e-books, as well that a couple dozen of people e-mailed me by means of our website. The split between positive and negative was about fifty-fifty. Interesting however, were the negative reviews and e-mails. It was stunning to read the amount of anger, hatred, bitterness, resentment and unforgiveness, and emotions the like in those negative e-mails and reviews. And most of the people writing those, openly stated they were Christians. They might want to read again, and try to grasp the concept Free From Bondage Ministry is bringing them, because they are clearly not aware of "Who is telling...." them. Or they understand and are willingly going along with that. One thing that it did for me, was to give me more resolve to keep going. Just as the seven nights of torment taught me the importance of teaching the children of God, so did these negative e-mails and reviews. It all shows me that Satan is really working humanity over al lot more than even the most devoted Christians are aware of, or are willing to admit. And criticism of this book, just as the free nineteen e-books tells me Satan is even trying to stop the exposure of his warfare through those negative reviews and e-mails. Let the critics come. The miracles that will happen because of the knowledge taken from the Bible will proof itself.
