When your faith is being attacked by negative forces, what do you do to shield and save it from becoming crushed? Do you know how to approach these factors, such as poverty, tragedy, sickness, and accidents, so that your faith will respond better in the sense that it wouldn’t easily stumble to the ground? A spiritual warfare is very important to counter the bad sides of these forces.

By arming yourself with this warfare, you will be able to respond more responsibly against these negative forces in the way that your faith is not getting pulled down. In the bible, it is always said that there will be many forms of satanic forces that will take advantage of the weaknesses of the people. These forces will come by smallest to biggest form.

Sometimes it would be in the most unnoticeable form that you wouldn’t know you are being attacked unless you have a strong spiritual warfare within you. The devices that these negative forces will use are usually those that cause many of us troubles and without being aware of this fact, we always tend to easily blame God for the problems that come our way.

To attack these devices, a strong faith is always a must. The people were created after the image of God and it is for this reason why the enemy doesn’t like us. And the attacks that this enemy is forcing upon the humankind are so strong that many of us don’t really see them behind those. It is normal for the people to be unconscious of what was really happening at the back of the scenes of their lives.

But then, this is just another attempt of the enemy to hide to the people the fact that they were being misled into the wrong path. Being a part of life though, one has no choice but be ready to shield against the darts thrown upon them. Whether knowledgeable or not, these darts will continue to make people weak until they give in and get fooled by the desires of the enemy.

But God has always been prepared. That is why He has all kinds of words that form the spiritual warfare within us the people. Now, it is up to the people how to use that warfare deep within them so that the enemy would not end up triumphant. The words of God, the faith, and the whole armor that God gave the people will save us from those attacks.

People can never stop the fiery darts from coming, but with the help of those weapons they can be stopped from cursing a lasting effect. Any plans of the enemy will not succeed if by faith, people know how to repel them.

If you have doubt about your own faith, you can just think of the Lord Jesus and how He was able to stand so strong to see what was really happening behind Satan’s power of suggestion. He was always quick to respond against the attacks and repel their effects. He was always armed with spiritual warfare that we, as humans, could use too to avoid getting defeated by the enemy.

Everyone is invited to the Master’s table. The voice is calling, unrelenting. Sadly though, not everyone hears, not everyone could get in and have a moment with the One who truly cared for us most. Nonetheless, everyone is an eternal spark in the universe. Once conceived, we are staying for eternity.

In all creation, man alone was created in the image of his Creator, man alone has been bestowed all the graces and the opportunities that would have made the least among us grateful. We are so very special even angels envy us. The same God who created you and I loves with a love that is beyond comprehension, so unselfish that we were bestowed with the freedom to choose to refuse the goodwill of the One who created us. All over the earth, we alone enjoy that privilege. We alone could say no to God.

We are not totally left alone. Throughout centuries of human history we were provided with guides, prophets they call them. These are the men and women who were able to harness and tap energies that prepared them and made them respond to the voice calling from within. Their messages are the foundations from which societies based their civility, morality and laws that have guided us, without which would have made it impossible for humanity to survive.

Often, their lives are the epitome of sacrifices and the world responded many times with ridicule. They plodded on nonetheless and we are what we are now, enjoying what we have now, because they dared to show us the path to a better life and better relationships and to led us to acknowledge powers that are far greater than any of us could imagine. Magnificent powers that could be tapped anytime that never change whether we choose to believe it or not.

Prophets as we know them are not so commonplace now. Modern prophets are for the most part tinged with the stain of commercialism and the taking advantage of the gullible. But man could see through pretenses if not immediately, man ultimately will. The proof of this is that there have been thousands of churches that were established and were defunct over the last three hundred years alone. Modern-day prophets succeeded in throwing people away from churches and better spiritual guidance. Instead of confirmation they sowed confusion.

Yet not everything is lost. Angels guide us. Spiritual beings pray for us. Theirs are the wordless voices that tell us, even compel us to do what is good for us. Theirs is the power that comforts us and which manifests from time to time including moments when we expect it the least. Their voices get louder to those who follow them and hear them. But since we have the choice to reject them, their voices grow fainter every time we say no to them. Then we get lost. Sometimes for the time being, if only to prove to us that the path we insist in choosing leads to suffering.

When we are better prepared, the voices could return. When denied enough, the voices stop. Then we miss the opportunity to sit at the Master’s table.

Primarily, the world today is dominated by societies with high intellect. Considered in such a trait is the ability of people to fully comprehend a concept based on scientific proof and logic. Without such things, a person can easily disregard a theory and disprove its validity. And as soon as a person can test a concept with the use of scientific methods and experimentation he can finally say that it is in fact a reality. However, with such a method like that, it totally makes it difficult for people to fully understand and believe in a thing called spiritual science.

A Thing Called Faith

Since the earlier days, it has been said that all of the achievements of men are in fact due to the power that we can achieve through our faith; and that such faith can definitely encompass any material concept we ever dip our fingers on. Basically, faith is what keeps a human being strong and glorious in the end. However, with logic and proof limiting the human mind, it becomes more challenging for people to generally believe in such a thing called faith. With all of the principles that guide material science, it is difficult for men to give their trust on something that they cannot scientifically prove to be true. What is more, with the human mind being hindered by what can only be seen, they are then being taken aback from the fact that spiritual science truly exists.

Material Science

The value of material science especially in today’s world cannot be argued upon. A lot of societies and nations depend on material science in order to bring their countries in a developed state. With advanced technological breakthroughs and inventions, the lives of people are generally becoming easier by the day. In addition, such recent inventions and discoveries further disprove old beliefs and traditions that people may have for many generations already even including spiritual science.

Spiritual Science

However, spiritual science is definitely much greater and infinite than material science. Material science can certainly help in the everyday lives of people and generally make it easier for them; however, when man dies, that is the end of it all. What is more, if something fails in the system of material science, it also suggests its end unless it is being swiftly replaced or repaired. But then, spiritual science does not only govern people while they are alive but also when they pass away. With a thing called “soul” belonging to each and every individual in the planet, certainly spiritual science does exist, too. And as man becomes much more obsessed and blinded with material science, so does he alienate himself more from spiritual science.

Really, what spiritual science does to people is that it basically inspires them into achieving greater things in life; indoctrinating them into developing not only as a community or a nation, but a world filled with humanity and faith. With faith as a foundation of human beings, then we are certainly guided into the path of righteousness and supremacy.

Spiritual Science as applied to medicine is widely known as Anthroposophical medicine, and is being used by many physicians all over the world – more frequently in certain parts of Europe and North America. This methodology in medicine draws its practices and knowledge from the teachings of Rudolph Steiner, a founder and philosopher, who has founded the school of Anthroposophy.

Anthroposophy is a school of thought that relies on scientific approach in spiritual discernment. Anthroposophical medicine, despite its leanings to spiritual aspects, still relies on established facts and the systematic approaches to modern medicine. It uses fundamental principles in ancient medicine, such as Chinese medicine, Tibetan medicine and Ayurvedic medicine. In a nutshell, it is a more holistic approach, which puts emphasis on the spiritual well being, as much as it does on the physiological one.

The systematic model of AM (Anthroposophical Medicine) relies on the “four-foldness” of being. This means that there are four parts of what decides the general condition of an individual. The first one is the physical body, which is the vessel. The life/etheric body, which is the same as the Chinese idea of chi, embodies the second, while the third level is the soul/astral body. Finally, the fourth one resides in the spirit. In this model, the physician ensures that all these four levels are put under careful scrutiny, and he applies his knowledge of modern medicine and spiritual science in their treatment both in separate levels and as a whole. AM physicians use diagnostic tools, but also rely on intuition and understanding of the patient’s psyche and overall personality. The medicine often used in AM is homeopathic and medicinal, which makes it non-toxic and less risky.

The only drawback is that there are side effects. These side effects are often referred to as the “healing crises”, which results to the temporary worsening of symptoms – such as fever, headaches, nausea, muscle soreness, and many others. This is in harmony with their belief that modern medicine suppresses illness, and not beneficial to a patient’s health in the long run. So the rule of thumb is to draw out the illness in order for the patient to get rid of it completely and thus, pave the way to complete recovery.

Anthroposophical medicine also relies on allied therapies, which include massage therapy, eurythmics (otherwise known as movement therapy). Eurythmics is the science and art of harmonizing our inner spiritual movements. Psychotherapy is another branch of allied therapies, which helps in dealing with sickness and disease on a psychological level. During the first visit, an AM physician makes it a point to educate the patient in the overview of Anthroposophy, since it’s impossible to make any progress with a treatment that involves the mind and spirit without the patient’s conscious awareness. This is in the form of questionnaires and instructional materials, which are given to the patient before the first stage of treatment.

While some fundamentalists in modern medicine have abhorred the practice and made conjectures that it is synonymous to “voodoo”, studies have shown promising results. Whatever the case, Anthroposophic medicine continues to improve our spiritual and physical well being, and is definitely here to stay.
