Today I want to take a look at how our internal healing can bring external healing. Proverbs 14:30 says…
A calm and undisturbed mind and heart are the life and health of the body, but envy, jealousy, and wrath are like rottenness of the bones.
Sometimes when physical sickness comes the root is not in our bodies, it is instead in our mind and in our heart. You may have been like me and suffered from a physical ailment. I had seizures since I was small but the doctor could never diagnose them. Not coming from the most “functional” home environment. I remember being “stressed” as a little child. I remember the pressure of trying to deal with my parents, helping to take care of my siblings, and deal with normal kid issues. It was a lot for a kid to take, so I kept everything in. If you knew me you would have never known something was wrong with me because I didn’t allow my emotions to be seen. I learned over the years how to dry my tears and put on a front, in front of the world so that no one would know what was going on. So everything just built up in me because I never addressed the issues inside, and over the years I would have these seizures, and it wasn’t until after I was born again and I started to not only confess healing over myself, but start to pray for healing in my mind, that these seizures stopped. I begin to learn that in my situation it was a matter of a sick mind and heart that caused me to have physical symptoms.
I’m not sure if any of you have faced illnesses that maybe undiagnosed by doctors, or things that just keep repeating in your body over and over again over the years, I just want to encourage you to continue to confess your healing scriptures, but go deeper, look down on the inside. Ask God if there is anything that you need to be internally healed from that might be stirring up these ailments in your body. The scripture says envy, jealousy, and wrath are rottenness to your bones. If you are holding grudges, or unforgiveness in your heart these things can manifest physically. So I just encourage you all to heal fully, and receive your healing on the inside and on the outside. God bless!
