Hello and Happy Day! This is Dr. MaryAnn Diorio, novelist and life coach, welcoming you to another episode of Winning with the Word. Today is Monday, May 17, 2021, and this is Episode #15 of Series 2021. This episode is titled “Does Your Soul Need Healing?”

_______________________________

In the third letter of John, chapter one, verse two, the Beloved Apostle writes:
” . . .
 I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.”– 3 John 1: 2 KJV

This verse makes it quite clear that it is God’s will that His children prosper and be in health. 

Notice the phrase, “above all things.” This phrase means that more than anything else, God desires our entire well-being: spirit, soul, and body. God wants us well spiritually, emotionally, and physically. God wants every part of us to function as He created it to function. God wants no disease (read: dis-ease) in our bodies, nor in our souls. The Encyclopedia Britannica describes “disease” as “any harmful deviation from the normal structural or functional state of an organism.” 

If you are born again, then your body is the Temple of the Holy Spirit, and there should be no disease in the Holy Spirit’s Temple. But, sadly, there is. Why? Because of what God says in Hosea 4: 6: “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.” A lack of knowledge of the Bible will cause us to fail to prosper and fail to be in health.

The word “prosper” as used in this verse means “to have a good journey.” It is similar to our modern expression, “I hope things go well for you.” It was a commonly used expression in John’s day—so common, in fact, that the expression was often shortened to a few initials at the end of letters. The Latin abbreviation was SVBEEV, citing the first letters of the expression, ”Si vales, bene est; ego valeo meaning, “If you are well, it is good; I am well.”. The practice of abbreviating a message in John’s day compares to the practice we use today in texting, when we use letters like TTYL (Talk to you later), or we shorten the word “you” to the simple letter “u.” We are not so different from our early ancestors after all. 🙂

To prosper means not only to be in health physically, but also mentally and emotionally. To prosper also means to have sufficient provision to take care of one’s needs.

Next in the verse, the expression “be in health’  is pretty self-explanatory. The Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines “health” as the condition of being sound in body, mind, or spirit; a condition in which someone or something is thriving or doing well.” 

In John 10: 10 NKJV, the Bible says this: “The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.” Jesus died and rose from the dead to give us total health in spirit, soul, and body. This is what is meant by the abundant life.  Abundant means plentiful, plenty of. Plenty of health, plenty of provision, plenty of peace of mind, plenty of joy, plenty of love. And so on.

“As goes the health of the soul, so goes the health of the body.”
__________________________________

Now that we’ve covered the first three key phrases of this verse–above all, prosper, and be in health–let’s look at the last part of the verse: “just as your soul prospers.” Strong’s Concordance (G2531) tells us that the expression “just as” comes from the Greek word kathōs, meaning, in proportion as or in the degree that. So, this verse is saying that we will prosper and be in health in the same way that or to the degree that our soul prospers and is in health. In other words, our body will prosper and be in health to the degree that our soul prospers and is in health.

Another way of putting this is to say that as goes our soul, so goes our body. If our soul is sick, our body will be sick. Modern medicine is discovering this very truth even now. Yet, the Bible has been telling us this truth for thousands of years in such passages as Deuteronomy 28, Proverbs 4, and Isaiah 53.

More and more, modern medicine is proving the close connection between the soul and the body. Medicine is discovering that most physical disease results from sickness in the soul.

I once heard a true story of a woman who had had pain in her neck for many years. She’d been to doctor after doctor after doctor and had test after test after test. But the cause of her pain was still a mystery.

She finally went to a new doctor who happened to be a Christian. He asked her what was going on in her life. The woman told the doctor of a person who greatly irritated her. In describing this person to the doctor, the patient called the irritating person “a pain in the neck.” 

Understanding the power of words over one’s health, the discerning doctor advised his patient to stop using that expression. When she returned a short time later, the pain in her neck had completely disappeared. The unwitting patient had been blocking her healing by the words she had been speaking. She had been her own worst enemy! She had allowed a wound in her soul to cause her to say things that had harmed her body.

Here is a very important truth: As goes the soul, so goes the body.  The body will prosper and be in health to the degree that the soul prospers and is in health. Most physical disease results from sickness in the soul. Remember: As goes the soul, so goes the body.

Sickness of the soul may not result in immediate sickness of the body, but sickness of the soul will eventually result in sickness of the body. It may take many years, but sickness of the soul will result in sickness of the body. 

We need the Holy Spirit to reveal and expose sickness of the soul. Often these sicknesses have their roots in childhood experiences that we do not even remember. This is one reason that believers get sick. Although they have been born again and are new creations in their spirits, they still have unknown, unresolved wounds in their souls (things such as abandonment issues, sexual or verbal abuse, trauma of any sort). The Holy Spirit’s work of sanctification is intended to rid the soul of these unresolved wounds so that it will function healthfully.

Another reason for sickness among believers is that some believers have unrepentant sin in their souls (anger, offense, unforgiveness, which is, in my ministry experience, the most common) . Unrepentant sin can prevent physical healing.

If the manifestation of your healing has not yet occurred, consider that your soul may be sick. When the Lord heals, He usually heals from the inside out. If there is a deeper work that needs to be done in the soul than in the body, the Lord will usually deal first with the deeper work in the soul. He will address that deeper work first. Once the deeper work is done, the soul will be healthy and the body will follow suit. 

So, what are we to do with soul issues? Soul wounds?

1. Give them to God. Then trust in His promise in Psalm 23: 3 that He will restore your soul. To restore means to make whole again; to return to its original condition. In Isaiah 61: 3 NKJV, the Word tells us that the Lord came “to console those who mourn in Zion, to give them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness . . . .” This is a beautiful picture of a soul being restored.

2. Seek professional Christian counseling, if necessary. But be very careful here. Most Christian counselors have been trained in the counseling philosophy of the world and do not have a totally Biblical worldview. Wise counsel is rooted in the Word of God and does not mix the world with the Word. The WORD is the Beginning, the End, and Everything-in-Between.

3. Trust that God will be faithful to His Word. The Lord says what He means and means what He says. If He says He restores your soul, then He restores your soul. Take Him at His Word.

If you have not yet met Jesus, your Savior, invite Him into your life now. Just pray this simple prayer with me:

Lord Jesus, I need You. My soul is in a shambles. I have deep wounds I don’t know how to deal with. I’ve tried everything I know to try, but nothing has worked. I heard today in this podcast that You want me well. That You want to heal my soul. So I invite You into my life now. I receive You as my personal Savior and the Lord of my life and the Healer of my soul. Thank You for forgiving me and healing me. Thank You for making me whole. In Your Name, I pray. Amen.

If you sincerely prayed this prayer, please write to me at drmaryann@maryanndiorio.com. I would like to send you a free e-booklet that will help you get started in your walk with Christ. I also encourage you to get yourself a Bible and read it every single day. The Bible is God’s love letter to you, His manual for your life. In the Bible, God reveals Who He is, and He teaches you how to live.

Finally, ask the Lord to lead you to the church of His choice for you where you can learn about Him and have fellowship and encouragement with other Christ-Followers. It is critically important in these last days to fellowship with other believers who are mature in Christ and can guide you as you grow in Him.

THE IRON SAINT by MaryAnn Diorio, PhD

The Church in America is on the verge of a tremendous spiritual awakening, an awakening that will first be fueled by persecution unlike anything we have ever seen before in this land. Indeed, a prophetic word given in my home church during the month of November gave this warning to the Church: “Prepare for the fire of persecution!”

But the Church is not ready for this persecution. For the most part, the Church in America has been weak and lukewarm. Flabby and lazy. Consumed with the world and not with the things of God. As a result, the Church has been deceived and has subverted the divine order of things.

In THE IRON SAINT, Dr. MaryAnn Diorio seeks to help equip the saints for the work of true, integritous, and effective ministry. As a teacher in the Body of Christ, it is her burning desire to help correct this devastating error.

In THE IRON SAINT, Dr. Diorio has outlined a plan of action for strengthening the Church through uncompromising obedience to the Word of God. This plan of action is based on her own 50 years of walking with the Lord and being led by His Holy Spirit.

If you are a born-again believer and member of the Body of Christ, make this book a top reading priority.

Welcome to the last post in our series on soul sickness and its connection to physical sickness. Last week, we talked about “soul fragmentation,” another term for the tearing apart of the soul that occurs during times of trauma. Today, we’re going to discuss alters.

What is an alter?

First of all, an alter is not an altar. 🙂 These two words are often confused. The latter is a structure found in a church for the purpose of worship. An “alter” as it relates to the soul is similar to a fragment in that it protects the soul from the effects of trauma by walling off a portion of the soul from the main core of the soul.

While a fragment is simply a walled-off part of the soul, an alter can have a personality distinct from the soul’s core personality. In such cases, a person is often diagnosed as having a mental disorder, such as Dissociative Identify Disorder (DID), formerly called “Multiple Personality Disorder.”  People who have been severely traumatized can have numerous alters.

Another difference between a fragment and an alter is that a fragment does not have a false personality of its own, whereas an alter does. For instance, when a present-day event triggers an alter that is connected to a past traumatic event, the alter responds according to its false personality rather than according to the true personality of the person’s soul. In other words, the person comes under the control of the alter. This is the reason some people say that when they react in a negative way, they feel as though it is someone else reacting and that they are simply observing a movie playing out before their eyes.

“The Lord restores my soul.” – Psalm 23: 3

So, what is a person to do if his soul has been torn apart into fragments or alters?

1) Believe that Jesus wants to restore your soul. He promised as much in Psalm 23: 3. Only Jesus can heal a fragmented or altered soul. So, the first step to take, if you have not already done so, is to invite Jesus Christ into your life and receive Him as Your Savior and Lord. Here’s how.

2) Ask Holy Spirit to reveal to you what soul fragments and alters you are dealing with. As He shows them to you, give them to Jesus one by one for His healing touch. 

3) Seek the help of Christ-Followers trained in deliverance ministry or a Christian counselor trained in dealing with fragments and alters. There is help for you out there if you just look for it.

Remember this: As you look up to Jesus, trusting Him to heal your broken soul, He will. And as your broken soul is restored to wholeness, your body will also be restored to health. 

My Prayer for You Today: Lord Jesus, we thank You that You restore our souls. We thank You for taking the broken pieces of our soul, for healing them, and for restoring them back to their original place where You intended them to be. Amen.

Now, it’s YOUR turn: Are you dealing with soul fragments or alters? Have you experienced healing of soul fragments and/or alters? If so in either case, I invite you to share your experiences. Please leave your valued comment in the box below. 

NOTE: If you think you are in need of deliverance ministry, please write to me at info@maryanndiorio.com. I will be happy to pray for you.

THE SOUL ROOTS OF SICKNESS – Part Three

____________________________________________________

Last week, we discussed the results of Adam and Eve’s sin on the human soul. We considered the three parts of the soul—the mind, the will, and the emotions—and the function of each part. In this week’s post, we’ll be exploring some different kinds of soul sickness, focusing particularly on “soul fragmentation.” 

What is soul fragmentation? Soul fragmentation is simply another term for the tearing apart of the soul. This tearing apart occurs during times of trauma. 

When we experience a traumatic event, we cope with the trauma by placing the intense emotion and memory caused by the trauma in a special part of our soul and walling it off from the rest of our soul. Depending on the severity of the trauma, if we didn’t wall it off, we would likely not be able to go on with life. These parts that are walled off are called fragments.

All of us experience soul wounds during our lives. Many of these wounds begin in the womb and in early infancy and childhood. Others result from our own sin. Unless dealt with, these wounds last a lifetime, affecting our relationships and every aspect of our lives. 

Every time the soul is wounded, it is fragmented in some way. The Bible describes this fragmentation in several different terms:

  1. A tearing apart or rending: “Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver” (Psalm 7: 2);
  2. A destruction: “But whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding: he that doeth it destroyeth his own soul” (Psalm 6: 32);
  3. A disturbance or an unsettling:–“Since we have heard that some of our number to whom we gave no instruction have disturbed you with their words, unsettling your souls….” (Acts 15: 24);
  4. A defilement or a polluting:–“Then said I, ‘Ah Lord GOD! behold, my soul hath not been polluted: for from my youth up even till now have I not eaten of that which dieth of itself, or is torn in pieces; neither came there abominable flesh into my mouth;'” 
  5. A cutting off from a group:–“Therefore every one that eats it shall bear his iniquity, because he has profaned the hallowed thing of the LORD: and that soul shall be cut off from among his people” (Leviticus 19: 8);
  6. An imprisonment:–“Free my soul from prison that I may praise Your name” (Psalm 142: 7).
  7. Double-Mindedness.–“A double minded man is unstable in all his ways” (James 1: 8).

Sometimes, the soul can be so badly fragmented as to result in severe mental illness.

God designed the spirit and the soul to communicate with each other. Because of the fall of Adam and Eve, this line of communication was severed. So, before we are born again, the spirit and the soul are separated from each other. But when we are born again, the communication between the spirit and the soul is restored. 

“Sometimes, the soul can be so badly fragmented as to result in severe mental illness.”

The soul, however, is not saved when we are born again in the same way that the spirit is saved. When we are born again, we are given a new spirit that is perfect, but we are not given a new soul. The soul still suffers the vestiges of Satan’s attacks upon it and must be renewed by the Word of God (Romans 12: 2). These vestiges often require deliverance ministry in order to be completely removed. Deliverance severs communication between the demonic realm and the soul and results in the soul’s restoration to wholeness by the power of God.

In addition to wrongs that are done to us, our own sin greatly damages our souls. Peter wrote this: Dear friends, I warn you as ‘temporary residents and foreigners’ to keep away from worldly desires that wage war against your very souls” (1 Peter 2: 11). Sexual sin, especially, has grave and deleterious effects on the soul (See my post titled “Sex and Soul Ties”). 

How the Soul Is Fragmented

1–Involvement in witchcraft. Witchcraft opens the door to soul fragmentation. Any time a demon is allowed to gain control over the soul, fragmentation and bondage occur. Note Ezekiel 13: 20: “Therefore, this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘See, I am against the magic charms with which you ensnare souls like birds, and I will tear them from your arms. I will free the souls you have ensnared.'” 

2–Abuse, physical or verbal. Abuse can cause some of the worst kinds of soul fragmentation. When a soul is severely fragmented, it can result in what psychiatrists call “multiple personality disorder.” Years ago, I went with a team from my church to minister at a local mental institution. My heart grieved as I saw that many of the patients there suffered from multiple personality disorder and other types of soul fragmentation, such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. They lived in another world mentally and had been severed from truth.

Self-abuse, in the form of drug addiction, alcoholism, gluttony, Satanic music, participation in New Age practices and in false religions, also severely fragments the soul. 

Soul fragmentation as expressed in mental disorders often does not respond to therapy and medication because such modalities do not address the real issue: demonic infiltration, oppression, and even possession.  These can be dealt with only by the power of Jesus Christ administered through Christ-Followers trained in deliverance ministry.

3–Making vows to false gods or to occult or Satanic organizations of any kind; for example, the Masons or the Rosicrucians.  Making such vows imprisons the soul and ties it to the organization or false god to which the vow was made. 

If you think you are suffering from soul sickness, there is hope for you!  In my next and last post on soul sickness, I will discuss alters, which are similar to fragments but more severe than fragments. We will also discuss the wonderful news that your soul can be fully restored by the power and blood of Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord!  Don’t miss this last post of the series!

My Prayer for Us Today: “Father, we come to You in the Name of Jesus, thanking You for Your mercy and grace. We receive Your healing power to restore our souls. What Satan meant for evil, we trust You to turn to our good. We trust that You will take our ‘mess’ and turn it into our ‘message.’ In Jesus’ name. so be it!”

Now, it’s YOUR turn: Are you beginning to see that your sickness may be due to diseases in your soul? If so, you are experiencing a revelation from God because he deeply loves you.  Please leave your valued comment in the box below. 

NOTE: If you think you are in need of deliverance ministry, please write to me at info@maryanndiorio.com. I will be happy to pray for you.
