There's been a DISCONNECT in the body. It's like when you're having a conversation with someone on the phone and then you SUDDENLY get 'DISCONNECTED'...and SILENCE.
Communication STOPS. The flow of conversation is severed. Disappointment sets in if you were in the middle of a story and you don' know how much the listener heard. The thought of repeating yourself from the beginning makes you want to stay silent. The flow of the passion of the conversation has been halted.
1. Silence
2. Communication Stopped
3. Conversation Halted
4. Disappointment sets in
5. Flow of passionate storytelling ceases
What does it look like if your cable is disconnected? Your Wi-Fi disconnects? Your power is disconnected? No power source. When you get disconnected from source of power, you are left empty-handed on the other side of the power source.
What if you're trying to get ahold of someone and their phone has been DISCONNECTED?

I began looking up Spiritual Disconnect and I stumbled across this blog: http://www.astoundingelements.com/spiritual-disconnect.html
"When people become spiritually disconnected this is the type of behavior one can expect. Jealousy and lack of self-confidence has almost certainly played a large role in their childhood. This type of behavior, being of a negative value, produces a “me first” thought pattern. The views manifest themselves on the external and play a large role in the values of the individuals that harbor them. In other words the reason they are asking the questions is they truly have never felt secure in their own lives. Something is missing and although they appear happy whenever you are around, their comments tell you otherwise.
The bottom line is spiritually disconnected people are not happy. If you are able to bring them up to a level of happiness without lowering yourself into their thought pattern, then you can really have a positive effect on their lives. However be careful, the energy can literally leave you exhausted, as charging their vitality may be at the cost of depleting yours."
What Can Cause You to feel Spiritually Disconnected
1) Drug use or alcohol abuse or any ADDICTIONS
2) Excessive stress or anger
3) Negative people
4) Consistently ignoring your intuition
5) Poor diet such as excessive sugar, caffeine, processed foods or not enough quality protein
6) Lack of sleep, exercise, or meditation
7) Lack of enjoyment or fun
8) Dabbling in black magic, witchcraft, occultic practices
9) Spirit attachment or possession
There are a lot of different venues teaching on 'Spiritual Disconnect' including new age, medical, religious, etc...I know I heard the Lord tell me during prayer that there is a Spiritual Disconnect with the body of Christ.
The link below is from a medical perspective. They title it, "Spirit Disconnect."

Many of us show signs of any of the above without necessarily having a full fledged diagnosable case of it. Half of our society has lost the ability to sleep well and as such are not rejuvenating their circuitry which is done during the sleep cycle.
Many of these issues are genetic; some may be caused by childhood vaccinations; others may be caused by factors occurring while in the womb.
Alcohol, Marijuana, Psychotropic Drugs (Prozac, Paxil, Cymbalta, Zoloft etc.), Oxycotin/Vicodin dependency etc. are literally taking our spirit away creating a new phenomena called “Spirit Disconnect”. In certain metaphysical circles, Alzheimer Disease is felt to be caused by a disconnection between the spiritual and mental bodies.
She was definitely disconnected to life, mothering, happiness, emotions; basically, exactly, what is highlighted above. The legal drugs "literally took her spirit away." Her suicide note explained it all. She needed set free...She needed a miracle. In her breakdowns, she would cry out to Jesus. She became all churchy and religious. She knew that Jesus could set her free. She never found a person so full of Jesus that the demons let her loose. She took us to many different churches. One time, we went to a church and she got slain in the spirit. I don't remember if I was scared, happy, or freaked out. I was about six or seven. I remember seeing her pass out backwards. She was rolling on the floor screaming. No one came to explain to me what was happening. I think I went and hid under a pew and watched from there. She wanted free. No one walked in that kind of power and might to help her.
My mandate is to be that person who helps others GET set free, delivered and healed. I'm not even close to walking in the fullness of this yet. But I know, ONE day, I will. God has given me the authority and anointing! When we gain an understanding and revelation of WHO we are in Christ and WHO HE is in us, there will be this type of release...'GREATER THAN!' I can't stand by and 'deny the power, thereof.'
Matthew 10:1, 8 - And he called to him his twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal every disease and every affliction. 8 Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse lepers,[c] cast out demons.
For people who want to be so quick to judge a demon-possessed person's life, let me tell you. I saw it front and center...It's a life of continual torment. There is no escape. My mom would cry and cry. She wanted set free! She went looking for places that offered deliverance; to no avail!
When she had her breakdowns, she went to every church in our driving radius. They all had a form of godliness, but denied the power, thereof...
2 Timothy 3:4-9 4treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power; Avoid such men as these. 6For among them are those who enter into households and captivate weak women weighed down with sins, led on by various impulses, 7always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth, 8Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so these men also oppose the truth, men of depraved mind, rejected in regard to the faith. 9But they will not make further progress; for their folly will be obvious to all, just as Jannes's and Jambres's folly was also.
My mother and father both committed suicide. They both needed set free. They had so many demons lying to them and telling them everything they weren't and not enough people telling them WHOSE they were and WHO they were!
When the Lord took me to the passage of scripture that explained a SPIRITUALLY disconnected person, I cried. It's a sad story. Just like my parent's lives...They both had such sad stories; with sad endings.
Judas was one of Jesus's disciples. He broke bread with Jesus. He was Spiritually connected to Jesus for a time.
And when morning came, he called his disciples and chose from them twelve, whom he named apostles: 16 and Judas the son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor. So two men named Judas were chosen. Judas, the son of James and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor. Luke 6:13, 16
Judas Iscariot was with Jesus. Jesus taught him just like he taught the other 11 disciples. He wasn't Spiritually Disconnected until Luke 22:3 -3 Then Satan entered into Judas called Iscariot, who was of the number of the twelve."
That is the moment that he became Spiritually Disconnected. In the beginning of Luke 22, the plot began during the Passover to kill Jesus. After Satan entered Judas Iscariot he was DISCONNECTED...
He could hear a voice and as he became disconnected to Jesus and the 11 other disciples, he heard a deceiving voice loud and clear.
4 He went away and conferred with the chief priests and officers how he might betray him to them. 5 And they were glad, and agreed to give him money. 6 So he consented and sought an opportunity to betray him to them in the absence of a crowd. (Luke 22:4-6)
I cannot imagine how disconnected Judas Iscariot had to have been to sit at a feast with Jesus and the others and KNOW he was no longer connected to them. He went there fully knowing he would be a part of the evil betrayal of the Son of God. Jesus knew it as well.
21 But behold, the hand of him who betrays me is with me on the table. 22 For the Son of Man goes as it has been determined, but woe to that man by whom he is betrayed!” (Luke 22:21-22)
Jesus also KNEW in that moment that another of his disciples were feeling spiritually disconnected to him...
31 “Simon, Simon, behold, Satan demanded to have you, that he might sift you like wheat, 32 but I have prayed for you that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned again, strengthen your brothers.” 33 Peter said to him, “Lord, I am ready to go with you both to prison and to death.” 34 Jesus said, “I tell you, Peter, the rooster will not crow this day, until you deny three times that you know me.” (Luke 22:31-34)
DISCONNECT---unfastened. unyoked. removed. isolated. cut off. divided. severed. divorced.
Let's go back to Judas. When Satan entered him, he betrayed Jesus. He went as far as betraying Jesus with a kiss.
Luke 22:47-50 - 47While He was still speaking, behold, a crowd came, and the one called Judas, one of the twelve, was preceding them; and he approached Jesus to kiss Him. 48But Jesus said to him, “Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?” 49When those who were around Him saw what was going to happen, they said, “Lord, shall we strike with the sword?” 50And one of them struck the slave of the high priest and cut off his right ear. 51But Jesus answered and said, “Stop! No more of this.” And He touched his ear and healed him. 52Then Jesus said to the chief priests and officers of the temple and elders who had come against Him, “Have you come out with swords and clubs as you would against a robber? 53“While I was with you daily in the temple, you did not lay hands on Me; but this hour and the power of darkness are yours.”
There is a whole lot of Spiritual Disconnect in these several verses. First, Judas approaches Jesus to kiss him. Jesus KNEW he was approaching him with an Unholy kiss. He asked him, Judas why are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss? Then Peter disassociates himself with the thought of EVER betraying Jesus by cutting off the high priest's ear. Jesus spoke to the Disconnection by saying, "STOP, no more of this!" Healing the earless man and making him whole.
With Spiritual Disconnection, you are in a dark cloud. It's like a smoke machine. The atmosphere fills with darkness and evil...literally 'taking over/away the spirit of man.' After Jesus was arrested, Peter began to separate himself from the other disciples, in fact, denying Jesus when accused that he was connected to him.
Matthew 27:3-5 -Now when Judas, who had betrayed him, saw that Jesus had been condemned, he regretted what he had done and returned the thirty silver coins to the chief priests and the elders, He said, "I've sinned by betraying an innocent man." They replied, "What do we care? That's your problem." Then Judas threw the silver coins down in the Temple and went out and hanged himself.
This spiritually disconnected man...regretted betraying an innocent man for money. He came to try and make it right telling the chief priests and elders that he had lied. The leader's response offered no forgiveness or grace. They basically said. "Not our problem, Judas. We used you to get what we wanted...you deal with it!"
When a spiritually disconnected person doesn't receive forgiveness, grace, mercy; they lose control of their spirit...A stronger man comes in through the opposite of the Fruits of the Spirit...Forgiveness, Bitterness, Hatred...A lot of the times, unforgiveness of self-actions can cause the most harm. It seems to be the case with Judas. He received nothing from the chief priests and elders. The stronger man inside of him threw a pity party. Judas couldn't forgive himself either. When Jesus said, "woe to the man who betrays me." It means, a curse, a judgement. That judgment was Judas, the one in which you betrayed is the only one who can extend the type of forgiveness and grace you need in this hour. He tried to turn away from mammon by throwing the 30 shekels back at the ones who gave it to him, but the darkness and evil was much greater within Judas's heart...(Matthew 12:44) The darkness overtook Judas and he committed suicide. Let me tell you, my mother always went to the religious leaders trying to seek forgiveness. She WAS spiritually disconnected. She couldn't get that dark cloud to go away. Judas couldn't get that dark cloud of remorse and regret to depart...He hung himself. He could find no relief in the darkness of his soul.
Now when Peter disconnected himself to Jesus...There was a much different outcome. He openly wept BITTERLY.
Matthew 26:73-75 -After a little while, those standing nearby came up to Peter. "Surely you are one of them," they said, "for your accent gives you away." Then he began to curse and to swear, "I do not know the man!" And immediately a rooster crowed. and Peter remembered the words Jesus had spoken, "Before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times." And he went outside and wept bitterly.
Judas had a heart of greed. He served Mammon the moment he betrayed an innocent man for 30 pieces of silver. We cannot serve two masters.
Matthew 6:23-24 -23"But if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light that is in you is darkness, how great is the darkness! 24"No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth.
Peter was afraid for his life. He wasn't selling Jesus out for money or wealth. He disconnected out of fear. Jesus KNEW Peter would be sifted like wheat. He had already prayed for this moment of time. Jesus specifically prayed that Peter's faith would not fail him in the time of his sifting. It was his heart of repentance that kept him from having the same outcome as Judas. Peter knew what he had to do after this moment...He had to go strengthen his brothers!
My mother and father both committed suicide. When I look at this scenario unfold...I see a weak coward...JUDAS...He was so inwardly focused. He had isolated himself so much that no one could reach him. He was known as the traitor. He was known as the betrayer. Jesus saw his heart...He knew which master he had chosen to serve. Judas had divorced himself from Jesus and the intercession for turn around and grace. In Luke 22:22, Jesus said, "But WOE to the one who betrays me." When Jesus looked upon Judas's heart, he KNEW he went to a place of no return! Peter, on the other hand, rebelled, but quickly returned.
See, I believe that when we fast, pray, intercede and get before the Father. He will show us how to pray, what to pray, who to pray for. We cannot come up against someone's free will. If they chose to spiritually disconnect and stay inwardly focused, we have to trust the Lord's will be done. Judas fooled himself to the point that he KNEW who he was bowing down to, yet he wanted it to look 'good' by greeting Jesus with a 'holy kiss.'
We need discernment in this day and age like never before. We need to be on our faces crying out and interceding for those who are spiritually disconnected from us. The Father will reveal his heart to us and we will know how to pray...There is a great divide happening right now in the body of Christ.
We are either for Christ or against him. There is no middle ground. Sheep vs. goats. Holy vs. unholy. vile vs. pure. wheat vs. tares.
The person who isn't with me is against me, and the person who isn't gathering with me is scattering. Matthew 12:30
We cannot let the enemy of our souls sift us like wheat and we give up. We have to turn, repent, weep bitterly and receive God's scandalous grace by strengthening our brothers and sisters in Christ. This life of ours is simply NOT ABOUT US! Spiritual Disconnection makes everything about US. We need to pray and decree the opposite into the body: Father, spiritually CONNECT your bride. Gather your remnant TOGETHER in a spirit of Unity with one Heart, one mind, one spirit. All flowing together the same direction for the same purpose...exalting the name of Jesus so all men will be drawn near! Tell the GOOD NEWS that Jesus ransomed us from the grave and bled and died for our redemption...Believe and receive!
Matthew 25:31-46 (NIV) -31 “When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his glorious throne. 32 All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33 He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left. 3
4 “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. 35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’ 37 “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38 When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39 When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’
40 “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’ 41 “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. 42 For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, 43 I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.’
44 “They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?’ 45 “He will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’ 46 “Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.”
When my mother spiritually disconnected and committed suicide, it was very hard emotionally grieving her death. I was angry at her. I was angry at the enemy. I had a lot of anger. It was a life wrongfully taken. She never had a life of her own. Ever since I knew her, she was a broken woman. My father committed suicide 15 years later. I had a whole new onslaught of emotions attached with his death. I never got to tell either of them goodbye. Of course, I wrote a song for both when they died. The one that I'm attaching in this blog is the one I wrote for my dad. I finally got to tell him everything I never got to say to him while he was alive. He had disconnected his life from mine 10 years prior his death. He chose to isolate himself from me. He chose to disassociate himself from me. All I ever wanted was my daddy's love. It was something he just couldn't give to me. He was spiritually disconnected. I'm so thankful for my Abba Pappa. I know my father loves me. I know he is with me...He will never leave me nor forsake me and continually strengthens me. Thank you, Lord!
