Is mental illness spiritual warfare?

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.

Is spiritual warfare deliverance? I don't see it that way.

Does it matter somehow ? What difference would it make ?

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

If it does not include deliverance, you have just painted yourself into a corner...

Because I'm searching for answers in my persoal walk with the Lord.

Every minute of every day we are at war on the forum with invisible and visible enemy agents, un-describable for now.

Even when we "win", the enemy simply comes back in force with more so we never win . Many lives may be lost daily ?

Never mind. In your mind people need delivered but we are not delivered from spiritual warfare as if it were an affliction.

Each person is different. So, each case of mental illness is unique, since it is in someone's personality which is not the same as anybody else's.

And a personality has spiritual roots. So, yes a mental illness can be a spiritual trouble, at its roots.

So, if this is true, whose spirit would bring a problem to someone's spiritual mind?

Our Apostle Paul says there is >

"the spirit who now works in the sons of didobedience." (in Ephesians 2:2)

You can see for yourself if a mental illness has a person thinking and obeying how Jesus has us love.

I know for sure how my mental problems have included anti-love things. For one example, paranoia can have me caring only or mainly about my own self, and I can be cursing others with worry and suspicion instead of blessing wrong people and caring with hope and prayer for people who are a problem for me. Plus, how I imagine dealing with problem people can be contrary to how Jesus says to love, in His Sermon on the Mount.

But, then, what happens because of being spiritually with God, in one's mind?

"'You will keep him in perfect peace,
Whose mind is stayed on You,
Because he trusts in You.'"
(Isaiah 26:3)

Also, if we pray the way God's word says to pray >

"the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." (in Philippians 4:6-7)

So, clearly my mental trouble is anti-love . . . disobedient to how God's word says to love. So, I consider mental trouble to be because of Satan's spirit of disobedience. But God is almighty to easily get rid of anti-love things from me. But if I try what does not work . . . it will not work!

I'm not the sons of disobedience. I'll stop you right there.

(Of course, natural causes should be ruled out first.)

Not ruled out , I would offer..... rather used to test and promote complete and utter healing (NOT deliverance).....
If a church you trust(ed) /posted/ IS successful, they are doing so necessarily outside the official protocols of the usa.

Each person needs ntrition, b vitamins, a, e, c, minerals.

Take one nutrient out of their diet and they get sick. simple.

The blind and disobedient ones are in good health. Unless you consider the illness of spiritual blindness

If you do what is right and good as God Says Plainly, as God Describes always,
healing results.

Many blind and many disobedient ones are suffering MANY plauges today (as planned). They likely will not get better because they trust the deceivers.

Healing & deliverance overlap to a certain extent.
Physical sicknesses & injuries are usually caused by physical phenomena, but not always.

Satan's spirit can also cause a Christian to disobey, including by being unforgiving, and not praying with hope for wrong people.

When we get troubled in our minds, instead of trusting and obeying God in His peace . . . Satan's disobedient spirit can have us so disobeying.

But if we are God's children, we have God to correct us > Hebrews 12:4-14.

So, when I get in mental trouble, I can submit to God to correct me into how His peace has my mind working.

K, in English, dduuhh,...... healing! fullness of JOY! PEACE! and RIGHTEOUSNESS! by Jesus' Doing.

"phenomena" ? Nah. More simple than that I think. Simple mal-nutrition everyplace encouraged in the usa. (by professionals, corporations, governments, churches, and so on)

That is still a natural cause...

 

[soldier of light]

It's interesting that you guys say that love heals. Why then do I feel peace, love and joy until I come here? Plenty of sinners are happy. Bad things happen to good people. The good and bad come from God as Job said. But yes I agree. But why do I feel like a sheep being devoured by wolves? It's like people are saying my lack of love is the problem, and my disobedience, but i obey Jesus and that's love. Jesus said so.

Spiritual plages like blindness. Their waters of doctrine are polluted.
