Every weakness, dis-ease and sickness in the body has, at its foundation, a spiritual root.

Did you know that? But we aren’t talking about this in the Church today because we don’t want to “make” people feel guilty or to think that we’re “blaming” them for being unwell.

The truth is that dis-ease in the body comes from misalignment in our triune being — spirit, soul and body. This may seem like an oversimplification to you since dis-eases can be overwhelming and severe with disastrous results, but it’s really not. The concept itself is simple; it’s the walking out of the process of realignment and staying on truth in faith that’s tough.

And what’s even harder is tearing down the strongholds of familiar, generational lies that drive some of the deepest spiritual roots found underneath sickness and dis-ease in the body. But, here’s the thing:

When the Blood of Jesus is involved, these seemingly difficult or even impossible things become possible and doable in the power of the Spirit. And there are things we can do to get realigned and to overcome the “inevitable” fruit that is born into the body out of these tainted spiritual roots. As we step into this process and see realignment come, we will also start to see a more robust health — and even supernatural healing — flowing through the body fairly quickly.

So if this is something you just know you’ve got to get breakthrough in, I want you to lean in to this episode. Grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and . . . Let’s Go!

What you will learn in this episode:

• How scripture provides a basis for the truth that all weakness, sickness and dis-ease in the body has a spiritual root or roots underneath it;
• Why we’re not talking about this in the Church today (to our detriment);
• Some examples of how spiritual roots produce distinct types of weakness, sickness and dis-ease n the body;
• And 6 steps we can start doing today to apply this knowledge to get freedom from these spiritual roots and their power they wield to drive weakness, sickness and dis-ease in the body.
