Is mental illness spiritual warfare?

Is mental illness spiritual warfare? If not, is it a weakness like Paul described? Please give a reason for your answer.

2 Corinthians 12:9 And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

Oh. I guess I should leave here so I'm not a burden. My apologies. It's been a test for me putting up with people's divisions. But I guess that's wrong. I'm wrong. I'll leave here. My apologies for not fitting in.

Humm. You totally misunderstood what I said. But if you chose to be the victim, that may be all you can see or understand.

You seemed to say I was a burden. I'm sorry if I misunderstood but people don't seem to like me. I've come to expect that.

You also didn't address the question in the OP. I asked people to give reasons for their answers. You didn't

Well since I am the only one engaging with you, you could be more kind.

No mental illnesses is not spiritual warfare.

In modern times,
all demonic behaviors are misidentified as mental illness,
but not all mental illnesses are demonic activity.

There are even some cases where physical infirmities turned out to be demonic at their source.
(Of course, natural causes should be ruled out first.)

The Church & Mental Illness...

These USA churches are good at dealing with mental illnesses (such as schizophrenia, obsessive-compulsive disorder, etc.), Vineyard, Assembly of God, Foursquare Church (Links above are locators.) They are present in other countries, as well...

The thief comes to kill, steal, and destroy. We are sheep led to the slaughter. Am I wrong? So why cant mental illness be an attack from the enemy? Maybe he can effect our health

It is against TOS to elaborate on deliverance, here. If you want to learn more about spiritual warfare, visit local churches like those I have recommended, to learn from them.

Spiritual warfare is not deliverance. It's a necessary component to being a Christian.

No one has an answer so far.

Please give a reason for your answer.

Jesus is for us. All the time. Every day (since before creation!). Everywhere possible.


Men are against us. All the time. Every day. Everywhere. (Except the elect/redeemed/lambs)

Jesus is sufficient. He is not permitted to voice His opinion here on this forum. Healing is not permitted on forums nor in <most> churches anywhere.

Absolutely, not maybe.
The enemy has gotten federal laws passed to "insure" sickness increases and continues.

A few still keep seeking truth, keep seeking truth, gradually or all at once find the truth, and are healed.
