I am terrified. My blood pressure is through the roof. I can have a stroke. I have all the symptoms of having high blood pressure. I haven't been diagnosed. But I know the signs. I am not asking for healing prayer. But I am asking that you would pray that I do not die in my sins. I have been asking God's forgiveness for looking at inappropriate content and other unclean movies. I have asked forgiveness for my unclean thoughts and I do not feel like I am forgiven. I will not go to the hospital or the doctor because I will not try to prolong my life. But I just do not want to die in my sin.

I would reference the old story of the downing man who refused to be rescued by a passing boat and helicopter because he was waiting for God to rescue him. When he downed he asked God why he didn't rescue him. God responded, "Well, I sent you a boat and a helicopter."

The doctor can provide blood pressure medication. And there may be other underlying issues, such as diabetes which can be dealt with medically. See a doctor. I myself have taken blood pressure medication and now it's down to normal. Don't end up the fool who refuses to listen to advice.

I lowered my blood pressure through dietary changes, cut way back on fatty foods, lost weight, exercised and reduced sodium intake. My blood pressure fluctuates, but was below 120 recently. I have read hundreds of articles about health and nutrition. I bought several books by leading researchers in the nutrition field. I am no longer afflicted with kidney stones or an enlarged prostate. I went off medications and stopped seeing a urologist.

You may need to give up looking at inappropriate content and stop imagining doing immoral actions. There may be other areas of your life that require repentance. Repenting a little is not as good as repenting much.

Hey now. We are told to be good stewards of what we have, like our bodies. You need to see a doctor. Is your salt intake high? You might want to research celery, celery seed and celery salt. Celery is well documented for causing decreases in blood pressure. You can simply pour celery seed into some water and drink that, for example. Praying for you to be just fine.

Don't just confess your sins to God. Repent of them. Stop doing them. Turn around and do what is right. Romans 6:11-14. Ephesians 6:10:20. Philippians 4:13. Philippians 4:8. Joel 2:13.

Sorry to hear of your health and spiritual issues. God not only wants to deliver you but he wants your blood pressure to be normal as well. You seem to be wanting to passively hurt yourself due to your sin. Please do not do that. Treat the blood pressure and give yourself an opportunity to work on all your spiritual problems. You may get instant relief or it might be a process but God himself is patient and merciful, and yes he has a plan for your life. Psalm 91:15-16 (KJV)
15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him. 16 With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.

Imagine Jesus as your best friend, full of compassion. Sure he knows what you have done but he is not going to want to take your life over it. He wants to show you a better way, where you can walk in grace and overcome. Let Jesus take these burdens. Try to read the word and go to church regularly, and seek out others you can trust that will be able to assist you in your walk. Praying for you, as are many others. You are going to make it.

I’m sorry to hear about your situation. Please consult your doctor at the earliest and get well soon. There is no sin that cannot be washed away by the precious blood of our Savior. He is also a very compassionate and loving father who is quick to forgive. We need to constantly be aware and turn away from stuff that displeases God. I’m praying that He will provide healing, deliverance and draw you closer to Himself. Grace and peace to you!

Dear in Christ;

May I suggest that you start taking supplements of potassium and magnesium every day, to help with your blood pressure. Also, be careful with caffeine, because it rises blood pressure. Eat more fruit and vegetables everyday, because they have minerals which will help control your blood pressure to normal. Cut the white processed table salt, and if you use salt, use only Hymalian natural salt. It is good to reduce the salt as much as possible, and also processed foods with salt in them. Start walking or doing aerobic exercise everyday to help with your blood pressure. Cut processed foods from your diet. Hope this helps!
