Spiritual Healing For Insomnia

[ad_1]

What Is Insomnia?

Are you wrestling every night with insomnia. Insomnia is defined as habitual sleeplessness and the inability to sleep. If you have ever suffered from this condition, you know how difficult it is to find rest at night and it leaves you feeling constantly tired and drained. Insomnia affects your ability to function at your best during the day while each night it becomes another battle to get proper sleep.

Insomnia Has An Assignment

From a spiritual standpoint, insomnia has an assignment. The Bible tells us that the Lord will not have us ignorant or without lack of information of Satan’s devices. Insomnia is a tool used by the enemy to both physically and spiritually drain you. The enemy knows that if he can get you physically tired by stealing your sleep then he can distract your mind with confusion, lies and temptations.

The Root of Insomnia

Many emotions associated with insomnia are confusion, anger, anxiety, irritability and bad-tempered.

This spirit comes at night to drain you and deplete you. It’s assignment is to wear you out with stress, anxiety and the cares of this world. Satan’s goal is to keep you in a tired and dysfunctional state so that you are more vulnerable to his attacks.

This is a real problem for many of God’s people and I am seeing a dramatic increase in this tactic. The Word of God tells us in 1 Peter 5:7 to cast all our care upon the Lord because He cares for us. Begin to pinpoint those things in your life that are causing you stress, worry and concern and cast your care on the Lord. He will take them for you because He cares for you.

Before you go to sleep each night pray these scriptures over your life, your children or whomever is suffering from this demonic attack from the enemy.

Getting Rid of Insomnia:

Understanding that Insomnia is a Spirit working against you gives you the knowledge and understanding you need to get rid of it. I know many will say it’s a medical condition and they want some form of medicine to cure this condition. I mean isn’t that what we always look to heal or cure our ailments?

Some forms of treatment and their side effects for insomnia include:

Sedatives:

Causes drowsiness, calmness, and dulled senses. While some types of sedatives may become addictive.

Antidepressants:

Used to prevent or relieve depression and elevate mood.

Many of these common drugs are used to only “mask” or cover up the underlying problem. We must begin to deal with the root of the issue for a person’s insomnia. When we first begin to locate the root and begin healing from the inside out then we can then effectively deal with the symptoms or the outward signs of Insomnia.

The Word of God tells us that God is our healer and it is His desire for His children to lie down each night in peace and sleep. You can use the following scriptures and speak them each night before you go to sleep. As you are consistent with reading them and giving your cares to God, He will give you sweet sleep every night.

Psalm 4:8

In peace I will both lie down and sleep, for You, Lord, alone make me dwell in safety and confident trust.

Psalm 127:2

It is pointless that I get up early and stay up late, eating the bread of hard labor because God loves me and He gives sleep to those he loves.

Proverbs 3:24

When I lie down, I shall not be afraid; yes, I shall lie down, and my sleep shall be sweet.

Psalm 121:4

Behold, He who keeps me will neither slumber briefly nor sleep soundly.
