 FOREWORD

M y husband, Dr. Henry W. Wright, was a brilliant man with

a hunger for learning and an even stronger desire to serve God
with all of his heart. He met the challenges of life with compas-
sion, tough love, and his unique humor. It would be impossible to
measure the impact he had on the lives of the people around him.
His heart was to lead others to wholeness and peace in the love
of God. He did his best to represent God’s love in all that he did.
During his early years as a pastor, Henry’s prayer was for
answers to why physical healing from disease was not happen-
ing as often as it should in the church. That question, and God’s
answers, began his lifelong journey to exposing the spiritual
roots of disease that were plaguing the body of Christ.
Henry spent decades researching biblical truths on what
God said about healing, studying case histories of the people
who came to the ministry for help, and learning about diseases
and their effects on the human body from medical science.
Together, we founded Be in Health and traveled throughout the
United States and countries worldwide to teach biblical truths
7
8 Exposing the spiritual Roots of High Blood Pressure

for overcoming diseases. The fantastic results were healing and

restoration for tens of thousands of people across the globe. As
the need for ministry increased, the For My Life Retreat was
birthed. This impactful weeklong retreat on our church campus
in Thomaston, Georgia, helps people understand the spiritual
root causes of disease, apply the scriptural truths to their lives,
and learn how to be set free!
Henry passed away in November 2019. Along with our
family, church, and friends, I miss his presence every day. Shortly
after Henry’s passing, God spoke to my heart, “He’s with Me,
and he’s good.” Over five years ago, Henry and I, along with the
Board of Elders, developed a plan to carry the biblical truths God
had given him far into the future. Through Henry’s relationship
with the eldership and church body, we had a clear vision of how
to move forward. Henry’s vision was to establish generations of
overcomers who would be restored—spirit, soul, and body—by
God’s Word and love.
Today, that is exactly what we are doing. The Be in Health
team has expanded and continues to minister to thousands each
month via our Thomaston, Georgia, campus, online seminars,
mini-teachings, and conferences in cities across the country.
The world is in great need of God’s love and power to defeat the
enemy and any diseases in their lives. I hope the biblical insights
Henry deposited in this book help lead you in your journey of
healing and restoration.

WHY AM I SICK?

W hy am I sick?” “Why did this happen to me?” If you are fighting

high blood pressure, you are searching everywhere for answers to
these questions. At Be in Health, I have spent decades researching
the root cause of disease. This is vital because people want answers
to these questions: “Why am I sick?” “How can I be well?” Doesn’t
it make sense that we get down to the root cause that triggers dis-
ease in the first place? From there we can uproot it! Why? Because
God’s desire is for you to live in health and wholeness!
By God’s grace, we have discovered answers to the root causes
of disease that can put you on the road to healing and health. I
want to state from the beginning that my research has revealed
that approximately 80 percent of all chronic diseases have a spiri-
tual root cause. Eighty percent is an astounding number! I believe
that it is God’s will to expose those spiritual roots and set you
on the pathway to health. Because of what God has revealed in
over 30 years of observing case studies, researching science, and
studying His Word, thousands of people worldwide are free of
their diseases and syndromes because they dealt with the root
9
10 Exposing the spiritual Roots of High Blood Pressure

issues causing the manifestations. The healing answers that we

will share in this book are from God’s guidance and His Word
and all the glory for these healings belongs to Him!

GOD’S PROMISES FOR HEALTH

God has given us many promises for health and healing. He
meant for us to live in wholeness. “[I am the God] who forgiveth all
thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases” (Psalm 103:3). “Who
his own self [Jesus] bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we,
being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye
were healed” (1 Peter 2:24). Jesus also declared that healing was
the “children’s bread.” (See Matthew 15:26).
If God has promised us that our diseases can be healed, then
why are we sick? Why are so many people, including Christians,
still suffering with chronic illnesses—autoimmune diseases such
as multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, Graves’ disease,
diabetes 1, as well as cancer, diabetes 2, high blood pressure and
heart disease, chronic depression, and so many more? To find
the answers, we need to take a journey together to expose the
spiritual roots of disease and discover how you can live in whole-
ness—spirit, soul, and body. My prayer is that this journey will
fill you with peace and produce the understanding and wisdom
that will bring you freedom from disease!

WHAT IS HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE?

Hypertension is the medical term for what is commonly
called high blood pressure. Your blood pressure is determined
 Why Am I Sick? 11

by two variables: the amount of blood your heart pumps and the
amount of resistance to blood flow in your arteries. The more
blood your heart must pump, and the narrower your arteries,
the higher your blood pressure. Blood pressure readings have
two numbers. The top number, or systolic pressure, measures
the pressure in your arteries when your heart beats. The bottom
number, or diastolic pressure, measures the pressure in your
arteries between the beats. Both numbers need to be in a healthy
range for your heart to be protected from the damage of high
blood pressure. A normal adult range is lower than 120 (top
number) and lower than 80 (bottom number). As the numbers
rise from there, you are diagnosed with high blood pressure. A
reading of higher than 180 over 120 is considered a crisis stage
which requires immediate medical attention.
Medical science has defined two types of high blood pressure.
Secondary hypertension is diagnosed in individuals whose high
blood pressure is caused by an underlying condition. Secondary
hypertension tends to appear suddenly and often causes a higher
blood pressure reading than primary hypertension. Various con-
ditions can lead to secondary hypertension, including kidney
disease, diabetes, sleep apnea, thyroid problems, and certain
medications.
The other type of high blood pressure is referred to as pri-
mary, or essential, hypertension. Primary hypertension develops
gradually over many years. For years, medical science has not
listed a specific medical cause for this type of high blood pres-
sure, although their recognition of the role of stress has increased
in recent studies. In this book, our focus is on the spiritual roots
of primary hypertension.
12 Exposing the spiritual Roots of High Blood Pressure

Your body produces a surge of hormones when you’re in a

stressful situation. These hormones increase your blood pressure
by causing your heart to beat faster and your blood vessels to
narrow. If this happens repeatedly, damage occurs. For primary
hypertension, we have discovered that the spiritual roots are fear,
anxiety, and stress.
As a result of these stress-related roots, the cell membrane
(walls) of the arteries begin to stiffen and constrict causing a
narrowing of the blood vessels near the heart. This results in a
resistance to blood flow. As the blood backs up in the coronary
blood vessels, it increases the pressure on the heart. The result is
high blood pressure, which, if untreated, can lead to heart attack
and stroke.

UNDERSTANDING THE ROOT CAUSE OF DISEASE

There is so much misunderstanding in the medical com-
munity and even in the church about the root cause of disease
in mankind. In my research, I have studied what God has said
in His Word very closely, and I have also spent years studying
medical science. It’s important to study the human body God
has created as well as what He has declared in His Word about
our bodies and health. Although some people have accused me
of being against science, I’m indebted to it because it has enabled
me to see things that I could not see otherwise.
Unfortunately, the blind side of science is that scientists and
medical professionals tend to believe only what they can per-
ceive with their five physical senses. The Bible gives us a much
greater insight to see beyond what we can observe in the natural.
 Why Am I Sick? 13

Answers to man’s diseases and problems have been laid out in the
Bible for over thirty-five hundred years. So why don’t people read
the Bible to discover those answers? That is what we are going
to do in the following chapters. We will look at what God and
science have to say about the root causes of and pathways to the
recovery from disease—including high blood pressure. We will
uncover the answers that you are searching for—to put you on
the road to healing and health.

CAN GOD HEAL YOU?

I want to put your fears to rest that you cannot be cured
of high blood pressure or other stress-related heart conditions.
With God, all things are possible! (See, for example, Matthew
19:26.) There is complete healing and restoration possible for all
diseases. By God’s grace, at Be in Health, we have identified the
spiritual roots of disease and successfully helped people overcome
those root causes with amazing results of healing and recovery.
They have found the pathway to true lasting healing that comes
from God. According to Psalm 103, God heals all your diseases,
redeems your life from the pit, crowns you with love, and makes
you feel young all over again! That is the love of God! “Who for-
giveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; who redeemeth
thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and
tender mercies; who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy
youth is renewed like the eagle’s” (Psalm 103:3–5).
Disease prevents you from having a full life; healing gets you
back to normal and maybe even better than you were before your
diagnosis. That is A More Excellent Way! You will learn from
14 Exposing the spiritual Roots of High Blood Pressure

God’s Word how you can walk in healing and wholeness for the
rest of your life!

CREATED IN HIS IMAGE

The Bible tells us in Genesis that God created man in His
own image. “And God said, Let us make man in our image, after
our likeness…So God created man in his own image, in the image
of God created he him; male and female created he them” (Genesis
1:26–27). If we live as God designed us, we will be changed back
into His image and thrive. We will function at our highest level.
However, if we follow paths or ways of thinking about ourselves
that are not in agreement with His plan, we lose our identity in
God and may open a door to disease in our bodies. God is the
author of what He has created: you. God is the sustainer of what
He has created: you. So, if we dismiss God as part of the equation
in our healing, what have we got? We have cut ourselves off from
the source of our answer to the recovery and healing of disease.
God’s desire as our heavenly Father is to form us back into
our true identity as His children, in His image, and according
to His nature. To understand who we are, we need to know who
God is. First and foremost, He is our Father. Jesus was sent to the
earth to restore our relationship with our heavenly Father. “For
if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death
of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life”
(Romans 5:10). First John tells us that “God is love” (1 John 4:8,
16). And we reflect God’s nature within us when we manifest
the fruit of the Holy Spirit in our lives. “The fruit of the Spirit is
 Why Am I Sick? 15

love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness,

temperance” (Galatians 5:22–23)—all attributes of a loving God.
Psalm 139:14–15 tells us that God the Father thoughtfully
and carefully designed and created each one of us. “I will praise
thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy
works; and that my soul knoweth right well. My substance was not
hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in
the lowest parts of the earth.” We are each designed with a specific
personality, unique characteristics, and our own purpose and
place that are prepared for us in His family if we will accept it.
We were not created or called to be anyone other than ourselves.
Each person needs to settle in their own heart that they are fear-
fully and wonderfully made in the image of God, not in anyone
else’s image. God does not make accidents.

KEEP TRACKING WITH US STEP-BY-STEP

In Exposing the Spiritual Roots of High Blood Pressure, you
will recognize the areas in life that can separate you from your
identity as a child of God. The Father wants to help us realign
our hearts with His heart. We must learn to accept what He says
about us as truth. In this journey, we will answer many ques-
tions along the way. How can this loss of your identity in God
the Father lead to disease? How did the spiritual roots of disease
begin? What are the specific spiritual roots of high blood pres-
sure, and how have they invaded your life?
In the early chapters, we will expose the unseen forces
that trigger all disease from within and how you can overcome
them. You will recognize the battleground that paves the way
16 Exposing the spiritual Roots of High Blood Pressure

for disease, and how to apply the Word of God to receive your
healing. In the later chapters, we will expose the specific spiritual
root causes of high blood pressure, highlighting the case studies
of people who have experienced healing from their disease. Your
healing is what this journey is all about.
Since there is a great deal to learn about the spiritual roots of
disease, I will take you step-by-step to truly understand how you
can walk in healing and wholeness for the rest of your life! Please
don’t try to get ahead of yourself. Read the truths in this book
one step at a time. The Bible encourages us to learn by estab-
lishing a firm foundation and then building upon it one precept
(guiding principle) or line at a time. “For precept must be upon
precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a
little, and there a little” (Isaiah 28:9–10). Keep tracking with us
closely throughout this journey—your freedom from disease
may depend on it!
