Why We Get Stressed

Why We Get Sick

Dr. Kluane Spake www.kluane.org

We all are familiar with the Scripture, "The wages of sin is death."

This is not a threat – but merely a statement of consequence. If we sin, we experice death rather than life.

The word sin, “harmateria,” is an archery term that means to “miss the mark” or to not hit the bull's eye on the target.

In our lives, what happens when we miss the mark? Do you see how sinful thoughts affect your self-perception? Missing the mark causes us to believe that we are "less then" or "don't measure up." Those negative thoughts cause us to wind up in failure and disappointment.

Paul says, “I PRESS to the MARK!... To the high calling of Christ Jesus.

Missing the mark causes certain negative energies to enter our body and make us sick. Disappointment, fear, anger, and hostility are a result of missing our destiny.

DEATH and disease is how our body reacts to missing the mark! Enough negative energy entering into our cell structure causes our bodies to start decaying and falling apart. Disease causes death.

Our body was not created to handle all these negative energies. The greatest problem is that we allow our mind-set to be bombarded with negative belief systems. These systems disallow positive reactions and promote sickness in our bodies.

Our bodies are not constructed to endure the consequences of SIN. Sin can be intentional or unintentional. The effect is the same. We were created for life and love!

It is common in many civilizations to be bound by aggression and apprehension - so they deal with life this way. Some statistics tell us that 47% of Americans take stress relieving drugs!

When stress comes the most common response is fear, apprehension, and adrenalin. When stress comes, we handle it in unconscious pre-programmed ways.

Fear (stress, apprehension, adrenalin) is a powerful force that disconnects us from the very LIFE that Jesus died to give us. Fear stops the flow of trust, love, security, and peace.

Jesus spoke the language of Aramaic. Aramaic was the common language of the day that was spoken in Palestine before and during His lifetime. (The Hebrew language is a “dialect” of Aramaic.)

The Aramaic translations of the New Testament shows us a better way to prevail over stress! The Aramaic translation describes LIFE as “the active presence of love flowing through us.”

Believers should seek for life and love - not death. LIFE and love allows our mind to be whole and causes our body to respond to life-giving forces of health and welbeing.

Cultivating LIFE activates the life of God within us. Jesus said that He had "overcome the world." No matter what happened in His life, he stayed connected to the LIFE force. He gives us ETERNAL LIFE. That is something that we must connect to daily.

When you are upset with someone, or something happens, how do you respond? Can someone say something that causes you stress? These people show you a hidden deep problem within your own belief system. You have allowed another person to gain leverage over your own emotions.

You may deny your weaknesses, and cram them deeply within yourself. But, what is REAL within your mind-set is that you give others the POWER to remove you from the love of God.

Often in my lifetime, cruel people have said things that cause me great distress and sorrow. I would wonder why so many people would just come into my life to ruin it. It was their fault that I lost my peace. It was them who were mean to me. Sure… I would forgive them. But, I felt hurt. THEY caused havoc in MY life.

My mind had turned it all backwards! The reason we feel something is that it is inside me to feel it! They usually don’t even know there’s a problem!

That means my problem really isn’t them. It is ME. If they can cause that emotion to come out from me, then that is a problem that needs to be dealt with IN ME.

God uses others to reveal to us what we deny and pretend doesn't exist.

Difficulties in our life are merely God’s gifts to show us who we really are inside. If challenges keep me clinging to a reality that is not Kingdom, then love cannot flow from me.

When Jesus was tempted by the devil (accuser within our selves) in the wilderness, He knew how to respond. If the accuser can find things in me that don’t belong to me, I can be provoked. If those things that don’t belong to me are gone, there the enemy has no GROUND.

I pray that we realize the force of Divine LOVE. God is love and we are created in His image. Love is not demonstrated by DOING. Love is who we are. Love is the greatest energy we can release.
