Today more than ever we need spiritual healing for a broken world. This is because every day we hear of countless crimes committed by individuals, by communities, even by nations. There are crimes of murder, of torture, of theft, of robbery, of rape, of corruption, and so on. Radios, television sets, the internet publish these crimes. There seems to be no minute in which a crime is not committed somewhere in our globe.
Many people think that there is no hope for better days in our world, for a day when crimes will only be a memory. But still deep in the hearts of millions of people lurks the hope that someday life will be better for all, that peace will finally dawn on us. There is indeed a way of healing our broken world. But this is the way of spiritual healing.
Various Attempts to Heal our World
There have been many attempts to do something about the worsening condition of our world. Some of these are political, others are economic, still there are educational ones, and also religious means to improve our situation. But of all these seem to have no lasting effect on our society.
Political reforms free human beings from slavery and encourage citizens to participate in the affairs of their government. But this only seems to give license to certain criminal elements to disturb the peace in the community. It seems that the more liberal the government the more crimes are committed. If the government is repressive it is the government leaders themselves who commit crimes of oppression.
Economic reforms aim to redistribute the resources so that more and more people can have them. But the actual effect is that the rich become richer and the poor become poorer.
Some technocrats and the ordinary people look at education as the way to get out of poverty and improve their living condition. But we see that more education has only increased the number of the unemployed.
Of course the religious leaders think that if only people would clarify their values and imbibe those values which lead to a better life then they would become better citizens and would contribute to peace building. But the fact of the matter is that values education in our schools have not reduced the incidence of crimes and immorality.
The Root of the Problem: Spiritual Sickness
The fact is that the root of the problem is spiritual and unless this is solved the problem remains and the consequences will continue to pester humanity. Our spirits are sick and that is why we have a broken world. And so we need spiritual healing.
The Seven Deadly Diseases of the Spirits
There are seven deadly diseases of the spirits which plague our society. In former times they were called by another name. But now it is very clear that they are the sicknesses of our spirits.
These diseases are: anger, greed, laziness, pride, gluttony, envy and lust.
These are the diseases which need to be cured if we are to have spiritual healing. They are diseases of the human spirit, not of the human body or of the human soul. It is because of these that crimes and disharmony populate our planet earth.
Human beings kill because their anger overpowers them. They rob neighbors because they want the goods of their neighbors. They want to stay on welfare, depending on the resources of others because they are too lazy to move their hands. They will do everything to outwit others because of their pride. They will eat and destroy themselves with food and drinks because of their gluttony. They put down others because of envy. They rape because of lust.
The Need for Spiritual Healing
It is very clear then that we need spiritual healing for our broken world. We do not go to a drugstore and ask for a cure for gluttony or envy. The physician cannot cure our anger or pride. The psychiatrist cannot help us cure our lust or laziness. He only deals with the diseases of the soul. We need someone who can cure the diseases of our spirit. We need spiritual healing. In another article I will discuss the process of spiritual healing.
In this article I have discussed the problems we face in our world today, the various attempts to solve these problems, the root of our problems, the diseases of the spirit, the need for spiritual healing.

How to Be Spiritually Healthy Always
You may think that spirits do not get sick. They do. It is not only our bodies and minds that get sick. Our spirits also get sick.
We have hospitals for our sick bodies and mental health facilities for our sick minds, but we do not see hospitals or clinics for our sick spirits.
Where Do Sick Spirits Go for a Cure?
Some may immediately say, We have churches for our sick spirits. Maybe churches do care for our spirits. Do we mean to say that those who enter churches and are ministered to by these are spiritually sick, like those who enter hospitals and are cared for by our hospitals are physically sick?
If that is the case then how pitiful are those persons who frequent the churches. They are the ones who are spiritually sick.
Then someone may retort: Actually all are spiritually sick, even those who do not frequent the churches. But it is only these who go to the churches who are aware that they are sick. The ones who do not go near the churches are not aware that they too are spiritually sick.
So, if all of us, church goers and non-church goers are spiritually sick, how do we get healthy? How do we get spiritually healthy?
Three Major Diseases of the Spirit
First of all let us understand the three major diseases of the spirit. These are doubt or disbelief, despair, and fear. If churches are institutions of spiritual health they are supposed to cure us of these deadly spiritual diseases: doubt or disbelief, despair, and fear.
How do we stay healthy so that these diseases do not invade our spirits? The answer is rather simple but it needs some kind of lengthy explanation.
How To Be Spiritually Healthy
The answer is that we stay spiritually healthy by connecting ourselves constantly or always with the ultimate source of all kinds of health, physical, mental or spiritual. This ultimate source who is the Spirit of all health is always healthy. In him there is no sickness and he is the one who communicates health to all of us.
If has been established already by the science of medicine that what keeps the body healthy is the body itself. The Spirit has created our body in such a way that it produces all the substances necessary to preserve our health. The medicines that we take are only helps to our body so that it can properly produce these substances. Our body has the most reliable immune system. When this immune system breaks down as in AIDS or acquired immunodeficiency syndrome then the body's health also breaks down.
So also, as the Spirit communicates health to our body by equipping it with an immune system, he communicates health to our spirit by supplying it with the medicine for the deadly spiritual diseases of doubt or disbelief, despair, and fear. If we are always in communication with this Spirit he will give us the medicines for these diseases.
For doubt or disbelief the Spirit gives us the medicine of faith or belief. Some think that you can produce this medicine by self-affirmation. It is not done so. It is the Spirit himself who gives us faith or belief or trust in him.
For despair, the Spirit gives us hope. He urges us to expect better times, times of delivery from all our problems.
And for fear, the Spirit gives us love. He convinces us that to love is better than not to have loved at all, that at the end all love is repaid.
So, how do we keep ourselves spiritually healthy? By keeping close to the Spirit who gives us the medicines of faith, hope and love against the deadly spiritual diseases of doubt, despair and fear.
We have hospitals for our sick bodies and mental health facilities for our sick minds, but we do not see hospitals or clinics for our sick spirits.
