CHRISTIAN SINGLES : GUIDE TO
ENDING LONELINESS AND DEPRESSION Cont.
Chapter 18: Uncover The Hidden Roots of Your Problem
The definition of the word psychosomatic is: “Pertaining to the
interrationships of mind and body, with special reference to disease;
2, designating a branch of medicine that investigates the reciprocal
influences in the cause, prevention, treatment, and cure of disease.”
Whatever you say about yourself, over and over, your mind will take as
fact and it will act on it accordingly. Psychosomatic illnesses must
be dealt with on a spiritual level. Your faith in God will help, when
you really do believe He will heal, to bring health and restore your
God-given right, a sound mind. Believe it and receive it.
We do not in any way suggest you refuse to see a doctor or quit
taking medicine without medical advice. We feel that doctors are a
blessing from God. But when medical science has done all it can do and
no hope for a cure is evident, then the Lord is the only source for a
miracle. Physicians will readily admit that many diseases cannot be
cured, but only managed, and this is where a knowledge of the
psychomatic causes, the root causes can help. If you can eradicate
fear, self-hatred, and anger from your mind and heart (soul),you can
remove the source and put your mind and body on a course of self-healing.A
good, positive attitude, and a new dialog with your mind and heart
speaking only life-affirming, faith-based words can make all the
difference, especially in overcoming depression. The medical emphasis
now is on preventive care, so that we won’t cause a disease by our
bad health choices and negative thought patterns and habits. This is
what we need to do, after learning how to speak healing upon
ourselves: regular maintenance must follow our healing to ward off
future recurrences. We cannot allow ourselves to fall back into those
old patterns of self-pity, self-rejection, hatred, hopelessness, etc.,
but must continue on with our RENEWED minds.(Eph.4:23 be renewed in
the spirit of your mind,…put on the new man…; and 2Cor.5:17, ..if
any man be in Christ, he is a new creature, old things are passed
away,all things have become new.)
