We offer information for your use to help you learn what the possible spiritual roots and blocks are that could be preventing things in your life. We are not doctors, but we are ministers sharing what scriptures say. We often reference medical community and find that many of what they are discovering is paralleling what the Bible has said all along. Let's start by describing what a Spiritual Root is:

What is a Spiritual Root?

What is a root? It is the first offense taken in a particular situation that plants a seed of "error" that begins manifestations to appear with or without you knowing it. They are planted in us as we go through life and if we go too long without reconciliation, the latter can destroy our lives, emotionally, physically and spiritually. By identifying these roots, we are well on our way to deliverance! Once we have identified these roots, we may still need to look at any blocks that may also be preventing us from living an abundant life.

What do the scriptures say? I reference them with comment:
  • Proverbs 20:16 – "Whoso trusteth in the Lord, happy is he." (If we don't trust God, we won't ever have peace. In order to trust God you first must "know" Him. "Seek First the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you." We are out seeking healing, provision, prosperity, a mate, or stuff, but forget to seek the One who will give it to us. 
  • Proverbs 13:12 - "Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but when the desire comes it is as a tree of life." Many diseases and character defects are rooted in hopelessness. Hopelessness comes from not having our desires fulfilled, not seeing blessings come so we lose hope. God says, "Hope in Him" and things will begin to change. There are a number of issues that result in hopelessness, a few are depression, lazyness, diseases like Parkinsons or diseases that affect the heart.
  • Nehemiah 1:6-7 "Let thine ear now be attentive, and thine eyes open, that thou mayest hear the prayer of thy servant, which I pray before thee now, day and night, for the children of Israel thy servants, and confess the sins of the children of Israel, which we have sinned against thee; both I and my fathers house have sinned. We have dealt very corruptly against thee, and have not kept the commandments, nor the statutes, nor the judgments, which thou commandedst thy servant Moses." Even though this was spoken in times of old, it is still true today. If we do not attend to the Word of God in obedience, we will reap what we have sown. And the result of lack of obedience is disease. (Leviticus 26, Deuteronomy 28)
  • Jeremiah 3:25 "We lie down in our shame, and our confusion covereth us; for we have sinned against the Lord our God, we and our fathers, from our youth even unto this day, and have not obeyed the voice of the Lord our God." (Again, disobedience to the Word of God will cause us grief and suffering)
  • Proverbs 26:2 "A bird by wondering and a swallow by flying, so the curse causeless shall not come." For every curse - defined as a disease - there has to be a cause, no exception, whether it is spiritual or natural.
  • 1 Thess. 5:23 "I pray God sanctify you wholly, in body soul and spirit." God cares about your whole being.
  • Psalm 103:3 "Who forgives all your iniquities and heals all your diseases" (A connection of sin and health)
  • John 8:11 - Jesus told the lady at the well; "Go and sin no more less a worse thing come upon you." What is sin? We need to understand and acknowledge it before God to stay clean. It doesn't mean we will be sinless, but when we do sin we take it to Him and receive forgiveness, immediately. Do not wait! That only brings guilt and condemnation.
  • Genesis 18:19 - Obedience is Health. Do what God says so that God can do what He said He will do for you! We prevent God from working in our lives because of the blocks we have allowed. When we do what God has commanded in His word, he will break open his promises upon us, and one of them is health and long life!

BLOCKS

Though you may discover the root of a disease, we also have to identify any blocks hindering us from receiving healing and restoration. Is there a reason for your current situation? Is there a reason friends are hard to make? Is there a reason for the choices you have made? There may be a spiritual block preventing your blessings. Jeremiah 5:25 says that we do it to ourselves. Learn how to identify when it is truly an attack from the enemy, a choice you made or God getting your attention.
