Friends,
I found the following passages while studying tonight ("Concerning Repentance - Book I" Ch. 13 num 62-64). These writings are from St. Ambrose who lived (approx) between 337-397 AD. Ambrose was a Bishop of Milan and one of the most influential church figures of the 4th century.
I believe these passages support the ideas that I've been suggesting (morgellons = spiritual affliction).
As I've stated many times before, there is a solution to the devil's torments --> Jesus.
Please feel free to contact me if you would like prayer or advice regarding deliverance ministry. God bless.
In Christ Jesus,
Greg

62. Having explained Paul's meaning, let us now consider the words themselves, in what sense he said that he had delivered him to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, for the devil it is who tries us. For he brings ailments on each of our limbs, and sickness on our whole bodies. And then, too, he smote holy Job with evil sores from the feet to the head, because he had received the power of destroying his flesh, when God said: "Behold, I give him up unto you, only preserve his life." Job 2:6 This the Apostle took up in the same words, giving up this man to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that his spirit might be saved in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Corinthians 5:5
63. Great is the power, great is the gift, which commands the devil to destroy himself. For he destroys himself when he makes the man whom he is seeking to overthrow by temptation stronger instead of weak, because while he is weakening the body he is strengthening his soul. For sickness of the body restrains sin, but luxury sets on fire the sin of the flesh.
64. The devil is then deceived so as to wound himself with his own bite, and to arm against himself him whom he thought to weaken. So he armed holy Job the more after he wounded him, who, with his whole body covered with sores, endured indeed the bite of the devil, but felt not his poison. And so it is well said of him, "You shall draw out the dragon with an hook, you will play with him as with a bird, you shall bind him as a boy does a sparrow, you shall lay your hand upon him. "
As I've stated many times before, there is a solution to the devil's torments --> Jesus.
