Breaking Free from Chronic Disease: Reclaiming Your Life Beyond Diagnosis

The words echo in your mind long after leaving the doctor’s office: “This is something you’ll need to manage for the rest of your life.” In that moment, your future shifts not just your health, but your dreams, your relationships, your sense of who you are and what’s possible.

Living with chronic disease means navigating a world that suddenly feels different. Your body, once reliable and predictable, now demands constant attention and accommodation. Simple activities that others take for granted, climbing stairs without breathlessness, enjoying a meal without worry, sleeping through the night without pain become daily negotiations with your limitations.

Perhaps you know the weight of watching loved ones try to understand why you’ve changed, why you can’t do the things you used to do, why “good days” and “bad days” now dictate your schedule. The guilt of cancelled plans, declined invitations, and dreams deferred. The exhaustion that goes beyond physical fatigue the mental and emotional drain of constantly managing symptoms, medications, and medical appointments.

You’ve likely experienced the financial strain: mounting medical bills, expensive treatments, time away from work, and the cost of adapting your life around your condition. The career impacts when your health becomes unpredictable. The relationship challenges when chronic illness becomes an unwelcome third party in every interaction.

Maybe you’ve felt the isolation that comes when your world gradually shrinks, fewer social activities, less spontaneity, more time spent managing your health than living your life. The way chronic disease can rob not just your physical capacity, but your confidence, your optimism, and your sense of control over your own future.

You’ve probably tried everything your doctors recommended: medications that help but come with side effects, lifestyle changes that provide some relief but don’t address the root cause, treatments that manage symptoms without offering real hope for transformation. You may have been told that learning to “live with it” is your best option, that acceptance of limitation is the path forward.

The ripple effects touch every corner of your existence: relationships strained by your health struggles, career opportunities missed due to medical limitations, financial security threatened by healthcare costs, and a quality of life that feels like a pale shadow of what you once knew.

But what if chronic disease doesn’t have to be a life sentence? What if your body has more capacity for healing and restoration than you’ve been led to believe? What if there are approaches that address root causes rather than just managing symptoms?

If you’re ready to explore possibilities beyond conventional “disease management,” if you want to discover what life could look like when your health supports your dreams instead of limiting them, if you’re seeking hope for genuine transformation rather than just symptom control then you’re exactly where you need to be.

God the Healer

With all of the above being said we should understand by now that our problems (all chronic diseases and other, sicknesses of the mind, soul and body) cannot be solved by medical science. These issues can only be solved by our Lord Savior and Creator. 

A few scriptures that will make clear, God is our healer: Note, there are many more you can research further:

  • 3 John 2
  • Romans 14: 22, 23

Our knowledge and wisdom are foolishness to an all-wise, all-powerful God, therefore when we pursue our own ways, we are simply transgressing God’s commands for our lives and that is sin.

Sin opens the door and gives the enemy (Satan) access to come in and interfere with our delicately functioning body parts throwing our body chemistry out of order and setting us up for all types of diseases of the mind, soul and body, too numerous to even mention at this point. 

Our only way out of all these attacks to our body and our minds is submitting ourselves to the laws of Christ.

This includes going through the process of Deliverance which is a requirement for us to walk in a holy and sanctified life and to be pleasing always in our life’s endeavors.

How wonderful it will be to know, that once we have completed our race on this earth, we will continue to be with him and in his presence for all eternity after our eyes have closed.

Maybe you are struggling with one or more of these medical problems:

Cardiovascular/Circulatory System:

  • Strokes
  • Aneurysms
  • Heart problems

Musculoskeletal System:

  • Arthritis

Oncological (Cancer-related):

  • Cancer

Renal/Urological System:

  • Kidney problems

Respiratory System:

  • Respiratory problems

These are primarily chronic diseases and major organ system disorders. Most of these conditions are also considered by the medical field as,

  • Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) – diseases that are not spread from person to person,
  • Chronic conditions – long-lasting health problems that typically require ongoing medical management,
  • Leading causes of morbidity and mortality – these are among the top health issues that cause illness, disability, and death globally.

Unlike immune diseases (which specifically involve dysfunction of the immune system), this list represents a broader spectrum of serious medical conditions affecting different organ systems. Many of these can be influenced by lifestyle factors, genetics, age, and environmental factors, and they often require specialized medical care and long-term management.  Some of these conditions can have secondary effects on the immune system, but they’re not primarily classified.

The Spiritual Origins of Chronic Diseases: Beyond Physical Symptoms to Root Causes

For decades, the medical community has focused primarily on treating the physical manifestations of chronic diseases, managing symptoms, prescribing medications, and addressing biological markers. Yet millions of people continue to suffer from conditions that seem to resist conventional treatment, leaving both patients and practitioners frustrated and searching for answers.

What if many chronic diseases have origins that extend beyond the purely physical realm? What if the persistent nature of these conditions reflects a spiritual battle that cannot be won through medical intervention alone?

Scripture reveals that our enemy comes “to steal, kill, and destroy” (John 10:10), and this mission often manifests through systematic attacks on our physical bodies. The connection between spiritual oppression and physical illness appears throughout the Bible, from Jesus casting out spirits of infirmity to the recognition that some sicknesses have roots in generational curses, unforgiveness, or spiritual bondage.

The Limitations of Treating Symptoms Alone

Modern medicine excels at identifying biological processes and developing treatments for physical symptoms, but it often struggles with chronic conditions that seem to have a life of their own. Autoimmune disorders where the body attacks itself, mysterious pain syndromes that defy diagnosis, and diseases that appear to be triggered by stress or emotional trauma all point to influences beyond mere biology.

When we understand that we are tripartite beings; spirit, soul, and body it becomes clear that lasting healing often requires addressing all three dimensions. A chronic disease may have a spiritual entry point that allows it to establish itself in the soul (mind, will, emotions) and then manifest in the physical body. Treating only the physical symptoms while ignoring the spiritual root is like cutting weeds at ground level while leaving the root system intact.

Biblical Perspective on Illness and Healing

The Bible presents a comprehensive view of human beings that acknowledges the interconnection between spiritual and physical health. Jesus didn’t just heal bodies; He often addressed the spiritual conditions that had allowed sickness to take hold. Sometimes He forgave sins before healing physical ailments, recognizing that spiritual issues were at the root of physical problems.

This doesn’t mean that all illness is caused by personal sin or spiritual failure. Rather, it acknowledges that we live in a fallen world where spiritual forces of darkness actively work to bring destruction to God’s creation. Some chronic diseases may result from generational curses, environmental spiritual contamination, or the accumulated effects of living in a world under the curse of sin.

A Comprehensive Approach to Healing

Understanding the spiritual origins of chronic disease doesn’t negate the value of medical care, but it does expand our approach to include spiritual warfare, deliverance, and inner healing as essential components of the restoration process.

True healing may require addressing unforgiveness, breaking generational patterns, casting out spirits of infirmity, and establishing new patterns of thinking and living that align with God’s design for health.

As we explore specific chronic conditions and their potential spiritual roots, remember that breakthrough often comes when we fight the battle on every front; spirit, soul, and body, refusing to accept that chronic suffering is simply our lot in life.

Colon Cancer: 

This type of cancer is activated because of the individual being deeply rooted in bitterness and slander with the tongue. See scripture Proverbs 18:21, and Matthew 12:36.  If you are verbally abusive to enough people and do not control what you say with your tongue it comes back to haunt you. This can also be inherited, for instance if your parents had unresolved bitterness and antagonism, and words of frustration and anger were present, it could have caused damage throughout successive generations.

Whenever you speak negatively against someone that is a curse, and what you speak will return, see John 20:23; Matthew 16:19.

Matthew 6:49 – 15, if you do not forgive your debtors, the Father in heaven will not forgive yours.

The sins that you retain are holding the other person under the bondage of your judgment. But by the same judgment that you judge others you yourself are judged.  See Matthew 7:1-2; Romans 2:1.

When we allow ourselves to be involved in slander, tale bearing, anarchy, division, not promoting peace, it is quite possible that you are setting yourself up for colon cancer.

Breast Cancer: 

While it’s true, some women are genetically predisposed, having a history of breast cancer in your family tree, healthy cells can also become cancerous.  A compromised cell is where one or two of the anti – oncogenes have been destroyed by some intrusion into the cell either by toxic chemicals from outside the body or toxic chemicals manufactured by the body internally for some reason such as a result of bitterness.

Dr. Henry Wright’s book on “Exposing the Spiritual Roots of Diseases” suggests that the spiritual root cause of breast cancer really comes out of the sins of conflict and bitterness between the individual involved and either her mother or her sisters or mother-in-law.

Arthritis:

 In its simplest form, inflammation of your joints accompanied by swelling and frequent changes in structure.

The spiritual root cause for simple arthritis involves bitterness against others. This should be distinguished from bitterness against yourself, that involves degeneration (degenerative arthritis), instead of swelling and inflammation.

Rheumatoid Arthritis: 

Here is a direct relationship between the tremendous stress of self-hatred in all auto- immune diseases.  Basically, the person is afraid of themselves and afraid to stand up for what is right for fear of what others may say.  They just don’t want to face their issues/opposition.  Out of that comes self-hatred, out of that comes guilt, out of that comes conflict that causes the white corpuscles to begin to attack the connective material of the bones, eating away at the tissues and joints, producing rheumatoid arthritis.

To be freed from this disorder, one must get rid of self-hate, bitterness, fears and all the other combination of spirits that are nurtured by these emotional disorders. 

Osteoarthritis: 

Is progressive cartilage degeneration in the joints on vertebrae and usually does not involve inflammation. The cartilage and the other material between the vertebra osteoarthritis is the result of self-bitterness and not forgiving oneself. It is holding a record of wrongs against yourself and can involve an element of guilt.

Degenerative disc disease: 

Is usually caused by anything dealing with the disc apart from accidents and injury that is degenerative in nature. Inherited or degenerated disc disease is usually tied to an addictive personality involving drugs, both legal and illegal and maybe included in the inherited profile somewhere in your past ancestral line, someone was a drug runner or put drugs or alcohol to someone else’s lips to make them drunk or your own usage of such things.  Habakkuk 2: 15 – 16, a curse comes up on you for causing someone to go in a destructive direction because of your failure to advise to the contrary.  You have aided, supported and abetted him / her in this evil practice. 

Fibromyalgia: 

What the medical field says, causes pain in the fibrous tissues, muscles, tendons, ligaments, and connective tissues, spiritually show up mainly with women because they have not been loved, nurtured and are lacking security, burden with fears, anxieties, unresolved conflicts, holding on to past hurts, being angry, bitter, resentful, afraid to be transparent, afraid to share, less they think less of you, depression, a sense of hopelessness. 

Aneurysms and strokes:

This is usually tied to anger, rage, hostility and that deep root of bitterness.  Pray and repent for your anger and bitterness or you will explode spiritually, and your body will follow likewise. 

Heart Attacks:

Are primarily due to fear or anxiety. 

Read Job 40:19, 41:34

Job was fearful, he was preoccupied with the safety of his children, not giving his children space to develop an experience their own setbacks. That preoccupation opened the door for fear to come in. We also see that he was taken up with pride.

Eating Disorders: 

Anorexia Nervosa and Bulimia 

Anorexia nervosa has the onset during adolescence or early adulthood and is associated with premature death, (a spirit of death) traumatic experiences, suicidal thoughts.   

Bulimia nervosa the person is disposed to substance abuse. 

Osteoporosis: 

The spiritual root for this disease is envy and jealousy.  See Proverbs 14:10. 

The Root Cause

The root cause for most immune diseases as well as, other chronic diseases have to do with worry, anxiety, stress, fears, anger, self-hate, bitterness,

resentment, hurts and ultimately not putting your trust in the Lord. 

Not to worry, with deliverance your cure is on the way.  You will be required to release your hurts, your unforgiveness, your bitterness and all the other emotional disorders to the Lord, forgive those that have offended you and ask the Lord to heal you of your brokenness. Once you truly do this then those disorders disappear from your life.  Of course, it goes without saying that to gain your freedom, you will need to go through the Deliverance process in order to put yourself back in a healthy, emotional and physical state.

To free yourself, you should be releasing all offenses into the Lord’s hands. When fear, anxiety and stress seek to flood our minds, stand on God’s word with the authority vested in us, bind and cast out every lying spirit. Instead, fill our hearts with his word.

God’s Word:

There are lots of scripture on God’s promises, his protection and strength: 

  • First and foremost, it’s important to make clear that sickness and disease did not come from God, unless you are in disobedience – Deuteronomy 28:15 – 38. 
  • Nothing will separate you from God’s love – Ephesians 3:16 – 19.
  • Tells us to cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you – 1Tim.1:7, 1 Peter 5: 7.
  • Tells us the Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still and know that he is God and will never fail you – Exodus 14:14.
  • Remember the Lord said in 3 John 2 – I desire above all things that you prosper and be in good health even as your soul prospers in proportion to your obedience to God’s commands. 
  • The Bible says that Jesus Christ’s death broke the bonds of death, sickness and disease once and for all – John 19:30.

My question is if Jesus dealt with sickness and disease once and for all, why are believers today still struggling with all kinds of diseases?

These are all fiery darts of the enemy which cannot be permanently dealt with by medical means (only managed).

What Jesus did on the cross was legal and positional, that is giving mankind the opportunity to choose now to serve him and follow his commands. 

Before he went on the cross this would never have been possible.

So why have we not been walking in health?

The answer is that we have not believed in him nor obeyed him nor applied his word experientially to our lives.

We have not appropriated by faith what he did for us on the cross in our own life situations because of fear, doubt in him and his finished work and lack of faith.

All his promises that we see in the Bible are all conditional on us walking in obedience to his commands. That is the simple plain fact. 

Why haven’t we been walking in the miraculous?

Because we rather choose to hold on to what the enemy has deceitfully and cunningly forced upon us, and we all prefer the easier road provided by our fleshy and carnal dispositions. 

We prefer the easier way of sin and the glamor and glitter, and notoriety and acclaim given us by mankind (themselves are so blind).

How can you walk in freedom?

Come back in full alignment with God’s Will and purpose for your life. Part of doing this in addition to becoming an adapt student of his word, is to go through the process of Deliverance; to set yourself free from the many spirits that have invaded your body because of sin. 

Clean them out as commanded by God this is seen in Luke 4:18; Matthew 10:7 – 8; Luke 9:1; Mark 16, 15, 18; 2 Timothy 2:21, Gal. 5:24, 25; 2 Cor.7: 1; Jer. 1:10; 51:20.

It is not fully understood why some develop the condition while others do not. The Bible did say we were fearfully and wonderfully made, Psalms 139: 14.

We were also made in His image and after his likeness, Genesis 1:26, 27.

Before Man’s fall, he was perfect and had no form of sickness or disorder, read Genesis 2 – Genesis 3: 17.

The Bible also tells us because of Adam’s disobedience, Genesis 3:5-17, a huge door was open for the enemy to come in and programed the entire human race for all kinds of disorders and set mankind on course for destruction. 

However, Jesus Christ came to destroy the works of the devil – 1 John 3:8.  

His death and Resurrection broke the bonds of death, hell and the grave from off of our lives legally and positionally and we now have an opportunity to walk once more in the freedom the Lord originally planned for our lives,

if only we will put our implicit trust in him and become his obedient disciples and also believe that he is God himself and that he came in freshly form, John 1:14.

There is much scientific and medical research that has given possible explanations why the conditions above could have come about. 

However, one sure fact is that the 39 stripes on the body of Christ. The price in full has been paid for all human disorders. Therefore, our attention should be fixed on his requirements to be set free. 

The lessons on our healing and deliverance website will help move you in this direction. The lessons will help you to be freed if you will faithfully follow instructions as they are laid out. 

All the above must be dealt with in the spiritual realm for you to be freed in the physical realm, If you are to live a fulfilling life as God designed, you for.

WHAT IS DELIVERANCE AND HOW DO WE FIX THIS MESS?

  • There is a close connection between sin and demons.  If mankind had never sinned, Adam and Eve, none would be vulnerable to demons.
  • Our website (add link to forward page) is populated with lessons, prayers and other resources to help you.  It’s important you take the time and go through the lessons in order, starting with LESSON 1 (Add link to lesson 1).
  • Here are some steps to live an overcomers life, (Rev. 3:5), in the natural and spiritual:
  1. Baptism: The flesh’s only remedy is crucifixion. (Not prayer or fasting)
    1. By Jesus Christ’s crucifixion on the cross and his resurrection, we can put flesh under subjection on a daily basis. But each of us must personally apply the cross to his life and that is in sanctification, (that is, experientially).
    1. On the cross Jesus died in your place substitutionally. His sacrificial death broke the bonds of death, hell and the grave off humanity.
    1. Mankind now has the glorious opportunity to serve the Lord in righteousness and holiness based off Christ’s sacrificial work on the cross.
    1. In essence, you must be Baptised in the name of Jesus Christ.  Baptism is a symbol of death to the evil mindsets and practices and getting rid of witchcraft and generational curses in preparation for sanctification.

2.  Deliverance: The Spiritual remedy of removing spirits/demons

  • It is not possible to cast out our ‘flesh’ and ‘crucify’ demons. Instead, the remedy to address our spirit requires that we cast out spirits and mortify the deeds of the flesh, Gal 5:19-21.
    • Your spiritual immune system is always subject to attack by demonic forces (evil) that are forever trying to invade your body. However, when your system is healthy, it attacks the demons just like when your physical immune system is healthy. 
    • To be healthy, it means you are living a sanctified and holy life, filled with the fullness of God.  In this case, there is no room for the enemy to come in and take up residence.  If he does by chance get in as a trespasser, you (a believer) can stand on the word of God and command the spirits to go (cast the spirits out) and they will have to go. Ultimately you are sealing that opening or crack with the blood of Jesus.  In a similar way, it is just like when your physical immune system is healthy, fighting off all potential infections, diseases, disorders that would invade the human body, but your immune system immediately goes into attack mode and destroys the invading disease organisms, bacteria, etc.
    • Any kind of unhealthiness or emotional weakness in your life will make you vulnerable to the presence of demons.
    • Great news, God has made provisions for your deliverance, healing, salvation and sanctification.
