Silent crisis: 🔥chronic spiritual inflammation is damaging your life

🔥 We live in an inflammed world … the times are hot. Be alert to chronic spiritual inflammation with the help of the Holy Spirit.

Inflammation in our body is a natural response to injury, infection, or irritants. Chemicals are released to heal damaged tissue or combat infections. The inflammaton recedes once the issue is resolved.

But chronic inflammation damages our bodies. It can be caused by numerous issues. The insidius thing about chronic inflammation is that you can be unaware of it. It’s a silent killer.

Chronic spiritual inflammation is even more deadly — it degrades our spirit, psychology, and physicality. It negatively impacts our life domains (relationships, work, quality of life, etc.)

The inflammed spirit …

• Frets against the Lordship of Christ

• Struggles to hear the Voice of the Lord

• Has difficulty in believing for big things

It can be caused by fear, worry, dark ruminations, bitterness, unforgiveness, unrighteous anger, taking incoming flaming darts with no shield of faith, and more.

"For God did not give us a spirit of timidity (of cowardice, of craven and cringing and fawning fear), but [He has given us a spirit] of power and of love and of calm and well-balanced mind and discipline and self-control." (2 Timothy 1.7 Amplified Classic)

Be encouraged! The shalom of Christ governs, releasing the faculties and full potential of the human being.

Holy Spirit, show me areas of spiritual inflammation in my life. I allow the peace of Christ to rule in my heart. I shut the door to dark energies from the Adversary.

Appreciate you,
Brian Del Turco
