Health authorities in many parts of Canada have issued warnings about heat stroke. Here is what we get from Alberta Health Services:
Signs of heat stroke:
- high body temperature
- no sweat
- disorientation, fainting, or unconsciousness
How can we discern the signs of spiritual corruption stroke?
- intense anger towards the self and others; have a deep sense of hopelessness
- complete indifference in our action and choices
- confusion, lack of clarity, being unaware of consequences, dealing with undesirable voices
How do we deal with physical stroke?
- move to a cool space
- remove the outer layer of clothes
- wrap in a cool wet towel
- DO NOT give fluids
How do we deal with spiritual stroke (warfare)?
- seek refuge in God's presence
- remove layers of pretension, lies, and deception
- ask to be covered by the power and the presence of God's spirit
- do not trust our own lies.
As the world is experiencing a global heat wave, it is facing a global spiritual battle. It is the battle that we cannot win on our own.
