Proverbs 18:14:
The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity; but a wounded spirit who can bear?
Infirmity refers to sickness. But God has ordained that your human spirit can sustain you in sickness. God has built immunity agaist sickness and disease into your spiritman. Therefore, the key to living a sickness-free life or overcoming attacks of sickness and diseases is to develop a robust spirit.
But How Do You Do That?
#1. By Feeding Fat On The Word
--------------------------------------------------
God’s Word is spirit food. King David lived a super healthy life to a good old age (1 Chronicles 29:26-28). He said in Psalm 119:19-100:
[97] MEM. O how love I thy law! it is my meditation all the day.
[98] Thou through thy commandments hast made me wiser than mine enemies: for they are ever with me.
[99] I have more understanding than all my teachers: for thy testimonies are my meditation.
[100] I understand more than the ancients, because I keep thy precepts.
God’s Word was his delight, so he dwelt on the Word of God all through the day. That’s one secret of his strength.
It says in Colosians 3:16:
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
In Job 23:12 it is written:
Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.
To this personality, God’s Word was better than food. This is because God’s Word is spirit food. It is food for your spirit. So feed fat on the word to build a robust spirit. The word is powerful (Hebrews 4:12, Ecclesiastes 8:4); so you’re building power into your spirit. The word is imortal; so you’re building imortality into your spirit. Thus, you’re building immunity against sickness and diseases into your spirit as you feed on the Word.
#2. By Praying in the Holy Ghost
---------------------------------------------------
Jude 1:20
But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,
So when you pray in the spirit, you’re building up your spirit. Therefore, Learn to pray in the holy Ghost regularly and grow in it by praying for increasingly longer periods.
Finally, on this segment, in Isaiah 28:11 it is written:
[11] For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people.
[12] To whom he said, This is the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest; and This Is The Refreshing:
So whenever you pray in tongues (spirit), your human spirit is refreshed.
#3. Walking in Love
--------------------------------
This is talking about love for God and for humanity (people).
Luke 10:27
And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.
Deuteronomy 6:4-6
[4] Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD:
[5] And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.
[6] And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart:
What happens when you love God and by extention people too?
1John 4:16
And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.
When you love God, you abide in God and God in you. That is, you’re cocoon in God and God abides in your spirt. God’s very person abiding in your spirit makes your spirit robust.
You love God as you love the advancement of His affairs on the earth.
#4. A Lifestyle of Joyfulness, Thanksgiving and Praise
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your human spirit also becomes robust through a lifestyle of gratitude, praise and worship to God.
Nehemiah 8:10
Then he said unto them, Go your way, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions unto them for whom nothing is prepared: for this day is holy unto our Lord: neither be ye sorry; for the joy of the LORD is your strength.
Neither be sorrowful because the joy of the Lord is your strength. In otherwords, your joy in God demonstrated through your thankgiving and praise is the secret of your strength. It strengthens your spirit and then your physical body as a result. In Philipians 4:4, it says:
Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice.
The reason being that you’re full of God’s presence when you’r joyful.
Psalm 16:11
Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.
So each time your heart is full of gratitute, rejoicing in praise to the Lord, His presence saturates your spirit. Thus, a continous lifestyle of joy and rejoicing builds up your human spirit, making it rubust to withstand and subdue the storms of life such as sickness and disease that may come up against your body.
#5. The Secret of Rest
---------------------------------
Isaiah 30:15
In returning and rest ye shall be saved. In quietness and in confidence shall be your strength..
That is to say, if you must be saved or rescued in times of trouble such as sickness and disease, then learn this secret of rest. And this rest is two dimensional
1st Physical Rest
A tired, worn out body will result in a weary spirit. Therefore, in order for the spirit to function properly, the body must be given adequate rest.
2nd Resting in God and on His promises
In Isaiah 30:7 God said:
For the Egyptians shall help in vain, and to no purpose: therefore have I cried concerning this, Their strength is to sit still.
The secret of our strength is to sit still waiting on God and resting on His promises. So take your rest in God. When you do, then God will move in your behalf and subdue whatever may be contrary to your wellbeing. As it is written:
Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth. - Psalm 46:10
Every assault on your health is over from today!!
Meanwhile, a relationship with God through His Son is the starting point. As it is written:
I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me (John 14:6)
So Jesus is the only way to God the Father. Therefore, If you want Jesus in your life, Please say this simple prayer:
I believe that Jesus is the Son of God and He shed His precious blood for my sins. Today, I confess Him as Lord and Saviour. Thank you Lord Jesus for saving me!
Amen.
Congratulations! if you said that prayer. The Word of God says you are now a new creature and old things are passed away. All things are become new (2 Corinthians 5:17). In other-words, God will never call your past life (sins/faults) to remembrance. They are totally forgiven and forgotten. Check this:
I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins. (Isaiah 43:25)
For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more (Hebrews 8:12)
