sickness and anxiety is spiritual when we are not strengthened with might by his spirit in our innerman and are not strong in the power of his might word we are defenseless to the attack of the enemy on our mind and our physical body

I actually wrote a book with this as the introductory scripture-the Lord gave me every word to the book so it was HIS not mine,you are right, but in ancient warfare if you had no walls around your city- you were completely vulnerable to the enemy..so when we reach out our hand to do iniquity and do not keep our spiritual wall or guard up the enemy will completely destroy you and lay you to wasts and it is nobodies fault but the one who has done it.
