Focus: Conditioning for total health

Psalm 103:3, Genesis 3:14: Until sins go, healing can’t occur.

There is a difference between deliverance and freedom (Isaiah 61:1). Deliverance simply means to loosen people under affliction. Deliverance is external, its spiritual, it’s the work of grace while freedom is Internal or Mental. John 8:32, know the truth and it shall set you free. Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead, it’s called deliverance. Matthew 11:28, come to me with your burden and I will give you rest (That’s Deliverance) but Matthew 11:29 talks about freedom.

There is healing and deliverance in Gods word. Proverb 4:20 – 21, Luke 5:17. Its possible to be delivered and not to be free. Until God changes your mind, he can’t change your life.

What is conditioning?

  1. Conditioning is a physical situation that affects how something works.
  2. A situation or environment that must be in place for something else to happen.

A thermometer gives the temperature of a person (Situation Report) but there is something higher than a thermometer which is a Thermostat. A thermostat is not intimidated by the temperature of the room. Your thermostat is the SPIRIT MAN. Your heart is the engine room of your life.

A Man (Believer) lives under 2 Condition or Environment

  1. THE INNER WORLD (CONDITIONING): The first environment is called the inner world. Ecclesiastes 3:11, He set the word in their heart. There is a word inside you and it is called your mentality. The inner world contains our Feelings and Attitude. (Numbers 13:33)

How do you condition your inner world?

  1. You need the right thoughts: The thoughts of a righteous man are right. (Proverb 12:5). Until God changes your thinking, you’ll remain where you are. (Habakkuk 1:11, Exodus 15:26)
  2. You need the right Information: The word Information simply means inner formation. The information you receive impacts your life positively or negatively.
  3. You need to be in the right Mood: Your mood affects your health. Depression as a Christian allows the devil to oppress and inflict different ailment on you. Don’t act the way you feel, act the way you want to feel. Learn to be Joyful and always be happy. Laughter is medicinal. Laughter makes you look young. (Proverb 15:15)

 

2. THE OUTER WORLD (CONDITIONING):

  1. Right Words: Death and life is in the power of the tongue. Your tongue has creative power. Your talking is your taking. What you proclaim is what you are permitted to claim. Wrong confession can destroy your access to divine health. (Joel 3:10)

There are 4 things that happen when you speak the word into your life

    1. God is committed
    2. Satan is limited (Luke 21:15)
    3. Sickness is quieted.
    4. Angels are activated. (Psalm 103:20)

2. Right Association: Your company determines your happenings. Watch your company, it can affect your company.

3. Right Judgment: Proverb 13:23. You need to make the right judgement over your health and all areas of your life. Ecclesiastes 7:16-17

To redeem simply means: To fully repay and to clear all debt. One week our of church will make you weak. Spirituality and mentality is what makes you a Christian.
