SPIRITUAL AILMENTS Many of the Corinthians were spiritually sick at the time Paul wrote the first of his two epistles to them. We don’t know what spiritual sicknesses they had, but there are many such diseases, which continue to plague men and women today.

HYPOCHONDRIA Morbid anxiety as to one's own health, with conjuring up of imaginary ailments. Some people imagine they have been mistreated; they take their exercise jumping to conclusions. Some imagine they cannot do things for the Lord. Their defeat is due to their mental outlook.

HYPOCHONDRIA They are like the ten spies and the one-talent man. But the men who had gone up with him said, "We are not able to go up against the people, for they are stronger than we." And they gave the children of Israel a bad report of the land which they had spied out, saying, "The land through which we have gone as spies is a land that devours its inhabitants, and all the people whom we saw in it are men of great stature.

HYPOCHONDRIA They are like the ten spies and the one-talent man. "There we saw the giants (the descendants of Anak came from the giants); and we were like grasshoppers in our own sight, and so we were in their sight." (Num. 13:31-33) "'And I was afraid, and went and hid your talent in the ground. Look, there you have what is yours.'" (Matt. 25:25)

ELEPHANTIASIS Should be easily reached. This I say, therefore, and testify in the Lord, that you should no longer walk as the rest of the Gentiles walk, in the futility of their mind, having their understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the blindness of their heart; who, being past feeling, have given themselves over to lewdness, to work all uncleanness with greediness. (Eph. 4:17-19)

ELEPHANTIASIS Should be easily reached. Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show by good conduct that his works are done in the meekness of wisdom. But if you have bitter envy and self-seeking in your hearts, do not boast and lie against the truth. This wisdom does not descend from above, but is earthly, sensual, demonic. For where envy and self-seeking exist, confusion and every evil

But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy. Now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace. (James 3:13-18)

HYPEROPIA They are good at trying to convert the masses, but no good at preaching to a lone hearer. "And whoever gives one of these little ones only a cup of cold water in the name of a disciple, assuredly, I say to you, he shall by no means lose his reward."

(1 Peter 5:5)

RACHITIS A disease in which the head enlarges and the bones become misshapen; rickets. Spiritually, it is having the big head, being egotistical. These six things the Lord hates, Yes, seven are an abomination to Him: A proud look, A lying tongue, Hands that shed innocent blood,

FEVER Patient runs an abnormally high temperature. Spiritually, it is a hot temper. "Be angry, and do not sin": do not let the sun go down on your wrath, nor give place to the devil. (Eph. 4:26)

LETHARGIC ENCEPHALITIS Sleeping sickness; a viral disease affecting the brain, characterized by apathy, sleepiness, extreme muscular weakness and impairment of vision. Many church members are so afflicted. Therefore let us not sleep, as others do, but let us watch and be sober. (1 Thess. 5:6)

LETHARGIC ENCEPHALITIS Sleeping sickness; a viral disease affecting the brain, characterized by apathy, sleepiness, extreme muscular weakness and impairment of vision. Many church members are so afflicted. And do this, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep; for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand. Therefore let us cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light.

HYDROPHOBIA A symptom is the fear of water; getting close to water brings on spiritual convulsions. Pharisees and lawyers had it. And when all the people heard Him, even the tax collectors justified God, having been baptized with the baptism of John.
