There are two sides to every coin—no matter the amount it represents, color or size. Every coin has two sides. In the same way, every human being comprises a physical being and a spiritual being. What many do not realize is that one sustains the other. Our spirit determines the course of our physical body.
“The spirit of a man will sustain him in sickness, But who can bear a broken spirit?” Proverbs 18:14
You may be asking how this is possible, but it is. Just think of someone who is told every day that they are a failure and will never achieve anything. Those words enter the spirit of that person, and if left unattended, they will come to fruition. In the same way, a diagnosis, bad news, or negative word, once it reaches the spirit, can destroy a person, worsen a disease, or even cause death. Even medical professionals stress the importance of having a positive mindset when facing a health crisis.
Our body relies on our spirit. When your spirit is strong in the Lord, you overcome regardless of the news or negative words you hear.
May the God of the Bible bless you!
Bishop Bira Joshua
