Satan Is the Author of Sickness and Disease Before Adams sin in the garden, there was no sin or death in the earth. After his disobedience, sin and death with all of their evil companions (hatred, bitterness, jealousy, sickness, disease, torment) entered into the world (Romans 5: 12). Jesus was sent to reestablish the wholeness that man had before the fall. He was the Redeemer, the One sent to buy you back from the dominion of Satan. Jesus loosed the people who were captive to Satans devices. He healed the sick, delivered the oppressed, opened prison doors, and preached the good news. How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him. Acts 10:38 This scripture, as well as all four Gospels, clearly reveals that the devil oppresses people with sickness, and Jesus heals people who are sick. Never confuse these two. God desires an abundant life for you, and the devil wants to steal, to kill, and to destroy (John 10:10). God Wants Us in Health Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers (3 John 2). God is interested in your health spiritually and physically. He wants your body to be just as free from Satans influence as He does your heart. For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are Gods (1 Corinthians 6:20). Not only are you to live a holy and pure life in your body, but also it is possible for you to live in health. You have been bought with the blood of Christ. The price has been paid for spiritual and physical health. Redeemed from the Curse Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree) that the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. Galatians 3:13-14 There was a curse pronounced upon those who would not keep Gods laws (Deuteronomy 28: 5-6). This curse generally included poverty, sickness, and death.3 Since all men are sinners, there was no man who could fully keep all Gods laws (Romans 3:23). Jesus entered the earth as a man and lived His life without sin. As He hung on the cross, He was actually made to be a curse for you as your substitute. He took the curse you deserved. He took your poverty, your sickness, and your death (sin), so that you might receive the blessings God had promised to Abraham and those keeping His law. These include an abundant supply for every need in your life (Deuteronomy 28:1- 14).
