“All things are legitimate [permissible–and we are free to do anything we please], but not all things are helpful (expedient, profitable, and wholesome). All things are legitimate, but not all things are constructive [to character] and edifying [to spiritual life].” (1 Corinthians 10:23 AMPC)
Introduction:
The Bible teaches moderation and decency as a way of life for the Christian. (See Philippians 4:5, 1 Corinthians 14:40)
Even though we are free to do anything we please, we are not free from the consequences of our choices.
For example, Sleep deprivation, unhealthy eating habits, addictions to prescriptions, substance abuse, unforgiveness, lack of physical exercises, workaholism, lack of personal hygiene, rest or relaxation, will eventually take its toll on health.
Therefore, even though as a New Testament Believer, you can argue that you are not under obligation to observe the Old Testament dietary laws, Good health demands it.
The Dietary laws are part of the Bible, which is the Manufacturer’s Manual from your Maker.
Additionally, it is important to live by the Holy Book. Read the epistles- For example, Ephesians 4:22-23 teaches that you put away your old unregenerated behaviors ,”And be constantly renewed in the spirit of your mind [having a fresh mental and spiritual attitude],” (Ephesians 4:23 AMPC)
For further information on this subject, Study Leviticus 11:1-47, Deuteronomy 14:3-21, Romans 14:2-3, 24-15, Hebrews 13:9.
#PrayerPoints4Today: (10mins)
1- Be thankful that the grace of God that brings salvation to all Humans appeared to you and your household.
2- Acknowledge and repent from the sins you were convicted of as you read this message. (1 John 1:9)
3- So far, I believe that you have now identified what you did wrong and keep doing, that has now become the life giving source of your troubles- Be resolute in your mind and cut it off.
4- Boldly Proclaim:
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. This condition, sickness, addiction, unforgiveness etc, ends today! You cannot follow me to my new day!
I refuse to continue to be victimized. I am victorious by my faith in Christ Jesus. The Master has set me free and I am free indeed.
Therefore, you evil spirits of infirmity and demons of sicknesses, I cut off your connections to my Soul and Body. The Blood of Jesus is speaking better things about me.
I am healed in my body, in my blood, in my bones, and all my organs are functioning optimally. My skeletal framework is healed and free of all deformities. My blood cells are purified. My genes are divinely modified and my eyesight and strength are sharper than the eagles. I am blessed beyond cursed and I am a blessing to the world, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ.
Thank God for all you are learning from us and spend some time in worship.
Intercede-pray for others anytime you pray for God commands it.
See you tomorrow.
Shalom from Hephzibah Christly,TheSpiritualWarrior April 15th 2023.
Dear people of God. You may be feeling very hurt because your trust was violated.
This article will help you recover from this emotional abuse.
The Bible says, “Lean on, trust in, and be confident in the Lord with all your heart and mind and do not rely on your own insight or understanding.” (Proverbs 3:5 AMPC)
When we judge humans by our own insight or understandings, we’ll very likely miss their hidden flaws. For according to Shakespeare, “There’s no art to find the mind’s construction in the face’ (Macbeth)
Hence it is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in Man (Psalm 118:8, kJV). For God sees not as man sees. Where man looks at the outward appearance, Godlooks at the heart. (See 1 Samuel 16:7 NASB1995)
What Trust Involves:
To trust God is to have strong confidence in Him.
*- Do you believe that God loves you?
*- Do you believe that God is just and will Never be partial in judgment?
*- Do you believe that God’s thoughts towards you are thoughts of good and not evil, and to help you accomplish the purpose of your life? (See Jeremiah 29:11)
Ponder this :
*- If your earthly parents won’t give you a snake as fish or bread as stone why can’t you trust God to give you good gifts and do right by you? (Matthew 7:11)
You can overcome trust issues:
Many of us developed trust issues because people we trusted betrayed us. And have now transferred these trust issues into how we relate with God.
But God’s Word already cautioned that ‘the heart of man is full of deceit, desperately wicked, and beyond our understanding’ (See Jeremiah 17:9)
And if you put your trust in Humans, you activate a curse.(Read Jeremiah 17:5)
Curses enable failures.
When you trust people and you are betrayed, it affects the equilibrium of your life. And when you are disoriented, you can’t make progress or be productive.
Sad to say, but some people never come out of the pit of despair they are plunged into,due to misplaced trust. And they end up with debilitating mental health issues.
If you placed your trust in any Human being, you misplaced that trust.
GOD commands that you love others as you love You. He didn’t say place your trust in them (See Mark 12:31)
If instead of love, you chose to trust, You gave access to that emotional abuser to take advantage of you.
Repent and ask God to turn your mistake into a miracle and use it for His glory.
Personal Testimony;
Don’t think I am unfeeling or have all my ducks in a row. I am still a work in progress.
I had a life defining encounter again, that made me struggle with trust for God. I said again because something similar had happened in my younger days.
This repeat lesson was necessary to reinforce the forgotten lesson that,’the Human heart is full of deceit and desperately wicked.
Like any mere human, I blamed God for my misfortune. I lashed out at HIM for allowing such evil happen to me
In response, God pointed out that HE prompted me several times as to what was coming. But I chose to ignore His Word and leaned on my own insight and understanding.
If, like me, you have misplaced your trust in humans instead of in God, repent and replace your trust in God, and you will recover fast. And your emotions will heal completely.
Blessings of Trusting God:
1- You will enjoy stability, well balanced mind, boldness, bravery (2 Timothy 1:7, Isaiah 26:3; Psalm 125:1)
2- You will enjoy manifold blessings (Psalm 34:8, 40:4)
3- You’ll Feel secure for God protects and defends those who trust in Him (Psalm 5:11, 18:30, 91:4)
For more blessings, Read Jeremiah 17: 7-8 – very reassuring promises.
Prayer:
I pray for healings over your wounded Soul, and ask that all past painful memories are deleted and you are granted a new lease of life, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ our Savior.
Shalom from Hephzibah Christly #TheSpiritualWarrior April 15th 2023

For the LORD says, ‘You will not see wind or rain, but the valley will be filled with water, and you will drink-” (2 Kings 3:16)
Greetings people of God.
There are times when you wonder whether the wilderness journey would ever end.
And just when you think you are mastering the challenges of life in the wilderness, you end up in the valley of despair.
The thing is that a valley is an elongated depression in the Earth’s surface, usually surrounded by hills or mountains.
Anyone in the valley depends on rainfall, streams or rivers as their water supply.
Picture a scenario where you are in this deep depression, and your sources of sustenance are cut off. No food, no drinkable water and no real friends.
A similar situation happened to an old Testament king who went to war. Right in the valley, their water supply dried up. The men and horses were dehydrating fast and needed divine intervention.
And God showed up strong for them.
Our opening scripture is for you who is having a valley experience.
You shall not die in the valley. You are coming out healed, victorious and better nourished than when you went in there. God will do right by you. He can’t ever abandon you in the valley. You are going to have your mountain-top experiences, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ ♥️
Shalom from Hephzibah Christly, TheSpiritualWarrior, April 14th, 2023.
“Fools, because of their rebellious way, And because of their iniquities, were afflicted.” (Psalms 107:17 NASB1995)
Continuation:
We said earlier that sin removes immunity and cited Ecclesiastes 10:8.
Did you do the prayer assignment from yesterday’s post taken from 2 Corinthians 13:5, which encourages you to test and evaluate yourself, to see whether you are holding to your faith and showing proper fruits for it?
If you did not take the self test, it would be a good idea to do so today.
Because, when you disobey the Word of God, you are rebelling against God’s authority.
Rebellion is opposition against God’s authority. Which was exactly what our first parents did back in the Garden (Genesis 3). Their actions put Humanity under satan’s dominion.
And,the spirit of infirmity or demon of sickness, is one of satan’s forces of evils.
Our opening verse shows that fools are afflicted through Rebelliousness (Psalm 107:17) And fools are they who deny the existence of God in their hearts (Psalm 14:1).
The Word of God is the rod of correction that shall drive out that foolishness which is bound in the heart of a child (Proverbs 22:15)
The state of your heart/mind, open up your Body for demonic torment through sicknesses.
Therefore, stop being childish and do what the Word of God says to do.
Every manufacturer has a manual for the smooth running of their product.
The Bible is God’s operational manual for Humanity.
No matter the diagnoses of the sickness, confront it spiritually first because, the demon of infirmities is at the base of it.
And it’s stronghold is your Rebellion against God’s authority. So, if you do not alig your lifestyle with God’s Word, by doing as it says, you are being foolish and childish.
For Example, His Word says:
“Honor your father and your mother, as the LORD your God has commanded you, so that your days may be long and that it may go well with you in the land that the LORD your God is giving you. (Ephesians 6:2)
This command is very clear on what you should do to be blessed with wellness, longevity and prosperity.
And it is not conditioned to the goodness or badness of your parents. It is a Divine command and your part is to gladly obey it- do as it says.
As you read through the Bible, which is your Manufacturers Manual, you will discover principles that will keep you above the reach of cancers, arthritis, asthma, mental health challenges, etc.
And even if you are already caught in satan’s Web of deceit, the Good News is that JESUS CHRIST IS SALVATION, HEALINGS, DELIVERANCE ETC for whosoever comes to Him.
Resolve to no longer give the spirit of Infirmities or demons of sicknesses, etc, any foothold in your life.
#PrayerPoints4Today (15 mins)
1- Thank God for His progressive Revelation knowledge of His Word.
2- Know from where you have fallen, ask forgiveness and do the needful.
3- Ask God to search your mind and to also guide you to correct your transgressions and Iniquities, so that the afflictors and afflictions will cease, and not come again.
4- Command the spirit of afflictions and whatever demons are related to whatever you are diagnosed with, to leave you and your bloodlines cat once!
5- Thank God that although you inherited the genetic tendencies to sin, and are culpable by personal sins, affirm that the sacrifices of Christ Jesus, has justified and made you the righteous.
6- Boldly declare that the spirits of infirmities and all the demons of sicknesses and diseases, have no jurisdiction over your body to afflict, torment, disable, disorder or disrupt the restored Godly order, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ.
7. Thank God that the power to heal, save, deliver, restore and prosper is flowing through you, to every member in your family, church groups and oneline members of your pages and ministries.
8. Pray in Tongues – let the Holy Spirit sync your prayers with God’s perfect will. Spend sometime to worship in songs.
Hallelujah and Shalom
We continue tomorrow.
From Hephzibah Christly, TheSpiritualWarrior, April 13, 2023.
Although this flower is beautiful, it’s life span is very short, compared to the beautiful eternal life God has given those who are ‘born again’
The born again is “God’s [own] handiwork (His workmanship), recreated in Christ Jesus, [born anew] that we may do those good works which God predestined (planned beforehand) for us [taking paths which He prepared ahead of time], that we should walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us to live]. (Ephesians 2:10 AMPC)
The more you continue to do those ‘good works’ which God planned beforehand for you, the more you’ll radiate God’s glory. Shalom from Hephzibah Christly, TheSpiritualWarrior, April 13th, 2023.
“And there was a woman there who for eighteen years had had an infirmity caused by a spirit (a demon of sickness). She was bent completely forward and utterly unable to straighten herself up or to look upward.” (Luke 13:11 AMPC)
Introduction:
Previously, we discussed how Sin in the genes made Humanity vulnerable to diseases and sickness.
Sin also put Humanity and their world under satan’s jurisdiction (Romans 6:16)
And as our opening scripture reveals, evil spirits and demons can directly cause sickness.
All the one-third fallen angels who joined satan to rebel against God, are evil spirits. Satan as their boss is d-evil.
However, demons are offsprings of the fallen angels who the Bible talks about as ” angels who did not keep their own domain, but abandoned their proper abode…Jude 1:6.
Verse 7 gives insight into what they did made God to restrain them
“in eternal bonds under darkness for the judgment of the great day, just as Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities around them, since they in the same way as these indulged in gross immorality and went after strange flesh, are exhibited as an example in undergoing the punishment of eternal fire.” (Jude 1:7 NASB1995)
And conclusively, Genesis 6: 4 says,
“The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men, and they bore children to them… “(Genesis 6:4 NASB1995)
*) For more on this subject, you need to get my book-
Demons Deactivated1 (Understanding Spiritual Warfare) by Hephzibah Christly, Ph.D. use any search engine
From the scriptures presented, we deduce that Demons are terrestrial hybrid creatures, the result of an abominable sexual relationship between some fallen angels and Humans.
These malevolent and malignant evil spirits, lost their Body during the flood judgment. And because of affinity with humans, they seek to possess the Human body.
And when possession is not possible, demons afflict, control, intimidate, manipulate, obsess, vex or torment humans.
Demonization is the resultant condition of demonic activity.
Demons can only access Humans through the route that sins open.
Sin removes spiritual immunity. (Read Ecclesiastes 10:8)
Hence it is important to quickly apply the grace principle of 1 John 1:9, in order to quickly mend the broken down walls.

#PrayerPoints4Today (5)
1- “Examine and test and evaluate your own selves to see whether you are holding to your faith and showing the proper fruits of it…?”
(2 Corinthians 13:5 AMPC)
God bless you as you prayerfully confront issues in your life and apply 1 John 1:5.
Shalom from Hephzibah Christly, TheSpiritualWarrior, April 12th 2023.
“And why are you worried about clothing? Observe how the lilies of the field grow; they do not toil nor do they spin, yet I say to you that not even Solomon in all his glory clothed himself like one of these.
But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, will He not much more clothe you? You of little faith!
Do not worry then, saying, ‘What will we eat?’ or ‘What will we drink?’ or ‘What will we wear for clothing?’ For the Gentiles eagerly seek all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.
But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. “So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.” (Matthew 6:28-34 NASB1995)
“Many are the afflictions of the righteous, But the Lord delivers him out of them all.” (Psalms 34:19 NASB1995)
Introduction:
Kidney stones are hard deposits of minerals and salts that form inside the kidneys. The condition, often referred to as renal calculi (lithiasis) urolithiasis, or nephrolithiasis, can be quite painful and long lasting.
Kidney Stones form when the urine becomes concentrated, thereby allowing minerals to crystallize and stick together. And it can affect any part of the urinary tract, from the kidneys to the bladder.
Most who suffer from Kidney stones also have high blood pressure issues, and excess body weights due to wrong diets.
In addition to Divine Healings you should also aspire to enjoy Divine health and not fall sick at all.
To attain that state requires that you observe Divine Health laws.
#PrayerPoints4Today (10 Mins)
1- Thank God for the assurances of help and healings from His Word. (Jeremiah 30:17, Psalm 34:19)
2- Present your peculiar health issues to Him and acknowledge your part in the problem. (1 John 1:9)
3- Resolve to no longer give the devil a foothold, but to start more healthy lifestyle choices.
4- Command the evil spirits aggravating the condition, to go at once to the feet of Jesus with all their evil relatives; and for the evil deposits to disintegrate.
5- Thank God that by His miraculous Interventions, the calcified material and related symptoms no longer exist.
6- Thank God that your kidneys, ureter, urethra, bladder, blood pressure are healed, and your body weight normalizes.
7- Speak to your Body: tell it to start maintaining proper pH and hydrochloric acid production levels, that would inhibit new kidney stones from forming, and for your Body weight to be under control.
8- Proclaim that affliction will never come again.
9- Praise God 👏 with songs of adoration and worship in tongues (Romans 8:26-28)
Go and start eating more healthily and engage in more bodily and spiritual exercises.
