Spiritual Birth Defects

slip out of reach and ending up as error.

Therefore we ought to more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip (from our grasp). Hebrews 2:1

Write down things so as not to be forgotten. Prophecy, word of knowledge, etc.

Let these things sink down in to your ears. Luke 9:44

Treatment: Pay close attention to what you’ve learned, holding on with intent and purpose.


7. Crooked back - unable to bear burdens

Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee: He shall never suffer the righteous to be moved. Psalm 55:22

The Lord is your strength and shield, your strong tower and buckler. He is a shield about you, your refuge and deliverer. Trust Him!

Treatment: Cast you cares on the Lord. Rest in His faithfulness.


8. Dwarf

Never fully grows up to the stature that is intended.

God expects growth:

That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every kind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; Ephesians 4:14

Treatment: Be ever pursuing growth. Allow God to stretch you. Study, pray, practice.



9. Blemish in the eye - Blind spots or hypocrisy.

Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged; and what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. Matthew 7:1-2

Judgmental people judge so much, if not everything, by their own personal standard, not by God’s standard. Their standards account for many blind spots in their own lives.

We must learn to deal mercifully with people even in our own thoughts. If someone is severe or rough with you, try to be silent and pray. You don’t have to defend yourself, God is your defense.

Treatment: Trust God to defend you. Show mercy. Always esteeming others better than yourself.


10. Eczema, scurvy - Lack in diet

Need for spiritual nourishment not spiritual junk food.

When a Christian has no hunger for God, worshipping with the believers, Bible study or prayer, look at what the diet has been. A good diet produces health, a bad diet produces weakness.

Treatment: Feed on quality teaching. Don’t just look for teaching that feels good. Sometimes the best medicine tastes bitter.


11. Scabbed - Person who is touchy, oversensitive and easily offended.

Lives that still need healing. These spots cause ungodly reactions in our lives.

God wants to clean that wound and heal it.

Great peace have they that love the law (word); and nothing shall offend them. Psalm 119:165

Treatment: Allow God to search your inner being and heal all the hurts many of which are hidden.



12. Eunuch - inability to reproduce.

God Requires Fruit! We cannot be spectators. He requies that we be active participants in what He is doing.

I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman (or vinedresser). Every branch in me that beareth not fruit He taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit He purgeth it (prunes it), that it may bring forth more fruit. John 15:3-5

We must be ready for pruning even if painful at times. We must reject any thoughts of independence from God. We must be increasingly deepening our relationship with Jesus Christ.

If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, you shall ask what you
