Is Your Mind Blocking the Healing Within You? - Barry Bennett - Charis Daily - Season 16 Ep. 9

Core Message

• Healing and health are tied to spiritual alignment: choosing to live from the Kingdom of God within you, rather than trying to “work your way out” from fear, misunderstanding, or the “power of darkness.”
• Misalignment (fear, offense, bitterness, victim mentality, etc.) can open the door to sickness; alignment produces life, peace, and health as a byproduct.

Key Wellness / Self-Care Strategies (Alignment-Focused)

1) Choose the right “realm” you live from

• You’ve been “delivered… into the kingdom,” and Jesus taught the kingdom is within you—so you don’t have to live as if sickness is the default.

2) Stop relying on fear-based symptom focus

• Be careful about becoming “aligned” with symptoms, disease names, and constant medical jargon—this can reinforce the wrong frequency.
• Note: It’s okay to get information from doctors, but the doctor should not become “lord.”

3) Cultivate spiritual “frequency”: stay in God’s Word

Daily attention to Scripture is described as:

• “Health to your flesh”
• A way to keep your soul prospering
• A means of staying tuned (not getting “static” from outside inputs)

4) Guard your heart (inner life)

• “Keep your heart with all diligence… out of it spring the issues of life.”
• The talk criticizes continuously consuming media/news that disrupts peace and alignment.
• The heart is framed as the “union” of spirit and soul—choices flow from it.

5) Walk by the Spirit (produce the fruit of the Spirit)

• “To be spiritually minded is life and peace.”
• Healing/health is linked to increasing spiritual qualities:
  • Love
  • Joy
  • Peace
  • Patience
  • Kindness
  • Goodness
  • Gentleness
  • Faith
  • Self-control

6) Adjust quickly when you notice misalignment

If you become fearful, frustrated, angry, cranky, or offended:

• Recognize: “I’m not in alignment.”
• Return to praise/thanksgiving
• Get back into the Word, since “God’s words are spirit and life.”

7) Shift from “Why won’t God heal me?” to “alignment with God”

• The talk discourages a continual cycle of:
  • questioning God
  • needing repeated prayer to “fix” you
• Instead, it promotes aiming for continual health by staying “in tune.”

Biblical Principles Used as Framework (Condensed)

Kingdom alignment

• Colossians 1:13
• Luke 17:21
• John 10:10

Old Testament alignment leading to health

• Proverbs 3: trust/acknowledgment/mercy & truth → “health to your flesh”
• Proverbs 4: word in your eyes/heart → “health to all their flesh”; guard your heart

New Testament alignment

• Romans 8:6: carnal mind → death; spiritual mind → life & peace
• 3 John 2: health connected to soul prospering
• John 6:63: words are spirit and life; flesh profits nothing
• Matthew 6:33: seek first the kingdom (and it’s “in you”)
• Matthew 12:35: heart “treasures” produce outcomes (healing framed as “good things”)

Productivity / Practical Habits Implied

• Make daily Scripture time non-negotiable, even when life is busy (“choose to have time in the Word every day”).
• Monitor inputs (media/news/rumination), since they can disrupt heart alignment and peace.
• Use a self-correction routine (praise/thanksgiving + Word) when emotions signal misalignment.
