[Healing] The Mind-Body Connectionနမူနာ

Go in Peace

There is so much sickness in this world. Our world is overrun with mental and physical agonies. People are filled with fear and worry over everything, which lead to stress. Stress is at an all-time high level. There are a lot of medical studies proving that stress shortens the life of human beings. The Bible has always been ahead of science; that is why we need to have a biblical perspective and build our lives accordingly. Since the human mind cannot distinguish reality from imagination, we should always fill our minds with good, positive, kind, and lovely thoughts. Our minds should be filled with the peace of God, which will bring healing into our bodies.

Why do you think that often in the Bible, after Jesus heals someone, He tells them to “go in peace”? Because that way they would stay healed. God’s peace is so important to us, and it can only come from thinking and thanking. These two words are really connected. If we think of good things, we begin to be thankful for them. If we think about bad things, we become unthankful. The more we think about God’s promises, and become thankful for all that He has done and all we have, the greater God’s peace within us will be. Peace in the Bible means safety, soundness, healing, deliverance, and freedom. 

When our thoughts are filled with stress, fear, worry, anxiousness, and tension, we remove the peace of God from our minds. We are overly familiar with worry and stress, yet many of the things that we worry about never happen. As our minds clutter with the toxicity of stress, worry, and fear, our bodies start to lose energy, our immune system lowers, and we are more susceptible to diseases.

To break the hold of stress, worry, and fear from our minds and lives, we must gently but forcibly bring healthier and stronger ideas into our minds. When faith, rather than fear, becomes our practice, we will master worry. We were designed by God, and we were made to live, not die. That hopeful picture makes us see ourselves strong. Play a hopeful picture in the theater of your mind. Fill yourself with the image of a positive future, like the woman with the issue of blood who hoped for healing. When she acted upon what she first imagined, Jesus told her that her faith had made her whole. 

Do not believe a bad report, do not lose hope, do not give up. Believe a good report. Read and write down scriptures that talk about faith each day. Absorb them, let them sink deep into your mind. You can be the person God wants you to be. You are God’s best.
