Sickness and disease has its origins from satan and his demons. Jesus dealt with demon-based sicknesses multiple times in His ministry yet many believers today believe sickness and disease are a result of some other origin.
Did FATHER make a mistake when HE formed us in the womb? Did HE decide to give us inferior genes and chromosomes so that we would develop in an imperfect manner?
People tend to discount the reality of demons today. I believe this is due to lack of knowledge and/or lack of understanding. My family has encountered demons more than once over the years thus you cannot convince me that they don’t exist. They prefer to operate in darkness where they manipulate those who are ignorant of their devices. They will put thoughts and imaginations in your mind which are contrary to The Word of GOD.
Demons want to promote fear and doubt in us resulting in us not being healed. We can remove fear and doubt by obtaining knowledge AND understanding of FATHER’S Word. If we fully understand and accept FATHER’S Divine Intent for us, we will receive healing.
Matthew chapter 15:
21 Then Jesus went out from there and departed to the region of Tyre and Sidon. 22 And behold, a woman of Canaan came from that region and cried out to Him, saying, “Have mercy on me, O Lord, Son of David! My daughter is severely demon-possessed.”
23 But He answered her not a word.
And His disciples came and urged Him, saying, “Send her away, for she cries out after us.”
24 But He answered and said, “I was not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”
Jesus stated the expressed intent that He was to minister to the house of Israel and not the “gentiles” of Canaan yet He did not tell the disciples to send her away. Instead, He allowed her access to Him:
25 Then she came and worshiped Him, saying, “Lord, help me!”
26 But He answered and said, “It is not good to take the children’s bread and throw it to the little dogs.”
27 And she said, “Yes, Lord, yet even the little dogs eat the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table.”
28 Then Jesus answered and said to her, “O woman, great is your faith! Let it be to you as you desire.” And her daughter was healed from that very hour.
Jesus responds to great faith. The woman fully relied on Jesus to heal her daughter and her faith IN HIM brought forth healing and deliverance from the demon. Jesus did not challenge her diagnosis of the daughter being plagued by a demon. He acknowledged the reality of her daughter being demon-possessed.
Later in Acts chapter 10, Peter attested by The Holy Spirit:
34 Then Peter opened his mouth and said: “In truth I perceive that GOD shows no partiality. 35 But in every nation whoever fears HIM and works righteousness is accepted by HIM. 36 The Word which GOD sent to the children of Israel, preaching peace through Jesus Christ—He is Lord of all— 37 that word you know, which was proclaimed throughout all Judea, and began from Galilee after the baptism which John preached: 38 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.
If I am having trouble with the full manifestation of healing, I must dig deeper to find out the source of the problem. I can assure you that the problem is not FATHER and HIS Divine Intent. The problem lies within me. This is where much prayer and fasting must expose the issue.
We must build ourselves up as Jude states by The Holy Spirit:
20 But you, my delightfully loved friends, constantly and progressively build yourselves up on the foundation of your most holy faith by praying every moment in the Holy Spirit. 21 Fasten your hearts to the Love of GOD and receive the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ, Who gives us eternal life.
There are times when I am praying In The Holy Spirit that FATHER reveals things to me (revelation) which are in need of attention. I cannot neglect them but instead I must record them so that I don’t forget to take action accordingly. I must not delay in taking care of what is revealed to me during my prayer time even if it is inconvenient.
When we understand who the enemy is and what their devices are, we are able to resolve the issue before us. If it originates from the adversary then we must deal with it head on.
Paul wrote to the Ephesians by The Holy Spirit in chapter 6:
10 Now my beloved ones, I have saved these most important Truths for last: Be supernaturally infused with strength through your life-union with the Lord Jesus. Stand victorious with the force of His explosive power flowing in and through you.
11 Put on God’s complete set of armor provided for us, so that you will be protected as you fight against the evil strategies of the accuser
Jesus, Peter, James, and Paul directly addressed the reality of the accuser and his demons and their evil strategies to kill, still, and destroy. We must not be ignorant of their devices but deal with them according to The Word… Fear not!
