Is Satan scheming against your health?
Spiritual warfare is intensifying and it’s no longer just about unseen battles between angels and demons. It also exists in the physical realm—what we eat, drink and breathe. Many people are harming their bodies while praying for healing, unaware that the enemy is attacking through unseen means.

In a recent livestream, Richard Lorenzo Jr. explained that because God’s people are more engaged with eating all kinds of rich, unhealthy foods, we are mistreating our bodies, something that the Lord has given us to steward. Yet, when we miss taking care of our bodies, we also are opened to spiritual warfare from the enemy.
The Bible is clear: “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge” (Hos. 4:6). Without understanding, people fall into deception, consuming things that poison their bodies and weaken their spiritual strength. But just as lack of knowledge leads to destruction, Scripture also teaches that knowledge brings deliverance. This is why seeking wisdom and revelation from God is crucial.
“We’re in a time of biological warfare,” Lorenzo says. “The devil is using what we’re eating, drinking and breathing in as a way to kill us.”
If we wouldn’t worship in a dirty, roach-infested church, why are we allowing these toxins into our bodies? Many consume fast food, processed meals and harmful chemicals daily, damaging the very vessel God entrusted to them.
“People in the world, in New Age witchcraft…[are] eating natural things, organic herbs, greens and fruits and vegetables, but then the body of Christ is [not],” Lorenzo says. “What you do matters. There are consequences, whether good or bad to everything we do.“
As the body of Christ, we must be mindful of what we consume. Honor God by treating your body as a holy dwelling place. Seek knowledge and wisdom, and let revelation bring restoration. By aligning both your spiritual and physical health with God’s will, you become stronger in faith, ready for the battles ahead.
Richard Lorenzo’s new book, “What’s the Purpose of Life?” releases in Fall of 2025.
