Christian Stress Management: Spiritual AIDS

What is Spiritual AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome)?

Spiritual AIDS is a disease the destroys a person’s spiritual life the way physical AIDS destroys a person’s physical body.

That means that Spiritual AIDS wrecks a person’s spiritual immune system thereby leaving them defenseless to possibly lethal attacks from the enemy satan and his kingdom the same way physical AIDS damages a person’s physical immune system making them vulnerably to possibly lethal physical attack from enemy bacteria, viruses and fungi.

What Is the Spiritual Immune System?
The Spiritual Immune System is the armor that we have been given to fight our spiritual battles. This armor consists of salvation, righteousness, truth, the Word of God, faith and prayer.

¹¹Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

¹²For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

¹³Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

¹⁴Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;

¹⁵And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;

¹⁶Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.

¹⁷And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

¹⁸Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit. (Ephesians 6:11-18)

What Are The Spiritual AIDS Symptoms?

Just us the symptoms of Physical AIDS consists of a syndrome or a group of disorders such as tuberculosis, herpes zoster or cryptococcal meningitis which are characteristic of it, Spiritual AIDS also consists of a syndrome or a group of spiritual disorders that are characteristic of it.

Spiritual disorders that are characteristic of spiritual AIDS or the spiritual AIDS symptoms include:

1. Backsliding if you were saved refusing to be saved if you have never been saved.

2. Unrighteousness or doing the wrong thing in the sight of God.

3. Lying either by omission or by commission.

4. Not reading the Bible.

5. Doubting God or refusing to believe what the Bible says.

6. Not praying.

Therefore, if you have all these spiritual symptoms, then you have spiritual AIDS. If you have just a few of these spiritual HIV positive symptoms you are infected with the spiritual HIV virus which is really sin because it is sin which makes a person backslide, do the wrong thing in the sight of God, lie or simply do the opposite of what the Bible says should be done. Sin therefore is the cause of AIDS of the spiritual type.
