CANCER—SATAN’S LEGACY “Having considered this phenomenon of cancer for some time now, I begin to understand its demonic design. It latches parasitically to the body, diverts the body’s life-sustaining energy to its rapidly growing tumor. By counterfeiting as normal cells, it renders the body’s defense mechanism ineffective. Because it craves nutrition, it triggers panic-inducing hunger pangs, and drains away from the body its vitality. This is only the physical side of the attack. Psychologically, it works to break down the victim’s mental state by continuously bombarding the mind with hopeless mental fatigue, like a siren’s whisper to surrender; just put off all things, lie down, close the eyes, and give in to the weariness, darkness and despair. It effectively extinguishes all creative energy, which normally drives an active mind, and puts in its place a dull blankness. The hunger comes suddenly and furiously. I crave food, but eating does not satisfy. When I am overcome with fatigue, resting neither refreshes me nor brings recovery. This malevolent thing of intelligent design is a dark, pervasive presence that seemingly delights in inflicting maximum torture on a person through persistent pain and discomfort, and grinds away at one’s very life force. It mocks the very gift of life that God has instilled in us and points unmistakably to a malicious intelligence, in character with everything Satan does. Satan’s ploy is to present a counterfeit of everything admirable and worthy that God has done; his desire is to defile those things that are beautiful and worthy with which God blessed mankind. So it is with cancer. If the human DNA is the ultimate software system created by God, cancer is the most vicious malware invented by Satan. His is the usurper and defiler. He cannot create a beautiful thing on his own. Yet he delights in carrying out grotesque mimicry of God’s creation. So he spawned viruses designed to destroy. I hate the creature with a perfect hatred—for its dastardly works, for its insidious style, and its malicious intents. Yet, it is God who allows the evil to continue for a time. It is said, All things (even the evil) work together for good for those who love God. ROMANS 8:28. Those who choose Satan as their father are attracted by evil. By we who are saved are filtered, purged, and strengthened by evil. So there is a purpose for evil in this world. We are meant to suffer, and fight, and emerge victorious when the fullness of time comes. This is what life is: a training ground of immortal spirits. There is nothing good about my cancer. In truth, there is nothing good about any disease, or calamities, or trials that befall people in this world. We cannot rejoice in hardships, for those are the results of evil intents. Nevertheless, we can rejoice in the fruits of the hardship. God did not leave us to be hapless victims of Satan’s tricks. By design, we are built to overcome the hardships and transcend above the momentary physical misery to an eternal spiritual glory; and in so doing, we do testify to the name of God, and His grand design for our lives.” Park, H. (2012). Along the Way
