Healthy spiritual maturity requires the correction of memories that persuade us we have been abandoned by God. The memories that bother us most make us feel God is not hesed. Unhealed wounds allow evil to fester and character diseases to grow in churches. We need a bit of skill to deal with dark spirits. We also need to address iniquities of character that grow unaddressed in churches like weeds. Character disease has killed many churches and left others in critical condition. The epidemic of church narcissism needs to be stopped.[3] Churches need to become healthy places to develop character.
