When there are afflictions in our lives, we need to examine ourselves and determine if there is sin within us. Did you know that 80% of our circumstances are the fruit of our participation with the sin within us? When we identify the root, the spiritual root, of our afflictions we can come to a place of repentance. 

This teaching will give you the steps to walk out of your unwanted circumstances. This teaching we’ll take you on a journey down a highway to health and prosperity with signposts along the way. These awesome steps are scripturally based and designed to be tools from God. Each step brings you from thought and understanding into freedom. They are progressive because you can start at the beginning of the list and work through it, gaining freedom as you apply these powerful principles.

Many people are well and prospering today because they had the right tools to work with. They are standing strong and growing up in their own faith. Getting healed physically or financially is not always a light switch experience. It is a journey that starts by turning away from the direction you were headed to a completely new direction for a whole new life. It is a journey for the rest of your life applying these powerful principles daily.

No Knowledge Leads To Captivity

Isaiah says God’s people are held captive because they have no knowledge.

Isaiah 5:13

"Therefore my people have gone into captivity, Because they have no knowledge; Their honorable men are famished, And their multitude dried up with thirst."

The entire Bible is about God’s people and how they did or did not properly participate with him. In order to avoid captivity, as God’s people, it is important you have knowledge in order to be able to recognize and discern.

The Word of God tells us that we have not been given the spirit of fear, but we have been given the spirit of power, the spirit of love, and the spirit of a sound mind. Unless you understand that behind your disease or poverty may be a spirit of fear which you have become one with as a way of life you do not know you can be set free. We therefore go to a doctor who puts us on an anti-anxiety drug, which circumvents the mind-body connection to the limbic system. It does short circuit the torment that comes with fear and deceives us by saying we are now free when in fact we have not solved one thing.

1 John 4:18

“There is no fear in love. But perfect love casts out fear, because fear has torment. He that fears is not made perfect in love.”

We think we have been cured, but the symptoms are just being managed. If we come off that drug long enough, we will be right back into our physical problems again. That is why in the book of Galatians witchcraft, pharmakeia or sorcery, is called “a work of the flesh.”

Galatians 5:19-21

“Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; adultery, fornication, uncleanliness, lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envying’s, murderers, drunkenness, revilings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the Kingdom of God.”

Physical Ailments Caused By Spiritual Issues

If you do not know what is behind high blood pressure is an anxiety disorder of fear or worry about tomorrow or what could go wrong tomorrow, how can you ever overcome it? If you do not know what is behind asthma is fear of abandonment, how can you defeat it? If you do not know behind congestive heart failure is guilt, self-hatred and self-rejection, how can you defeat it? If you do not know what is behind diabetes II is fear, as in anxiety and stress, how can you defeat it? What happens if you are a believer, and you have no knowledge? You go into “captivity”. What does “captivity” produce? Eighty percent of our diseases and unwanted circumstances!
