Pain Relief
1 Corinthians 15:45-46 (TPT)
”The spiritual life is to be pursued as though NO spiritual life exists because it is not really a separate life — Only ONE Life exists, and that is from God which is given to us moment to moment.”
Christianity — Deconstruction and Reconstruction surrounding CHAOS
Chaos — a cause of instability and PAIN: Physical, Emotional, and Spiritual
General Pain — 3 Types :
- Burns, cuts, lacerations — damage to organs, muscles, bones, etc.
- Inflammation — swelling, throbbing, etc.
- Neuropathy — excessive and abnormal sensitivity: magnifies ordinary sensory outputs and converts them into pain
External Energy used for relief; Massage therapy, Sonic Heat, Hydro-thermal
Emotional and Spiritual Neuropathy – constant emotional pain, lacking peace in their minds and hearts
John 14: 27 Jesus’ peace
- Restores to ONENES
- Single-minded focus
- Clears confusion
- Stability
“World’s” peace — lack of conflict
James 1:8 — “A double-minded man is UNSTABLE in all of his ways.”
Unstable Mind — yield Confusion — Doubt — Shakey Faith, causing “Spiritual Sensory Overload.”
S.S.O. — sends wrong signals to our minds and spirits that cause pain by magnifying untruthful messages
Pain is real — messages are NOT– “Nobody likes you.” — Too fat/ skinny/ tall/short. Etc
Negative messages – common goal: Pain, Sickness, and Death
Philippians 4:4-7 “Rejoice — communicate with God — be Grateful.”
Philippians 4:7 “…and the Peace of God will keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” — Because of your RELATIONSHIP with Him
Your Hearts — will receive inner peace
Your Minds — will gain Clarity of thought
