Disease

There seems to be confusion–particularly among the church folk and ESPECIALLY among the false teachers and preachers–about the entire matter of DISEASE–and to a lesser extent: SICKNESS.

The world tells a great many stories about disease, what causes disease and how disease may be “cured.”

But the world’s stories about disease and sickness are only stories.

Granted, stories told about disease are endlessly told and retold–as ALL effective propaganda must be–but they are still only stories–many told to help CONTROL the masses who listen to the stories.

Stories which in no way glorify God.

Stories which deceive.

Stories which further the dragon’s (Satan) plans.

God’s Word is clear: DISEASE and SICKNESS comes from God–NOT Satan–nor Satan’s workers or Satan’s machinations.

In the Bible, DISEASE is also referred to as “pestilence.”

DISEASE and SICKNESS can be physical signs that a people are NOT right with God.

“And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the LORD that healeth thee.”
–Exodus 15:33

“The LORD shall make the pestilence cleave unto thee, until he have consumed thee from off the land, whither thou goest to possess it. he LORD shall smite thee with a consumption, and with a fever, and with an inflammation, and with an extreme burning, and with the sword, and with blasting, and with mildew; and they shall pursue thee until thou perish.”
–Deuteronomy 28:22-23

“Moreover he will bring upon thee all the diseases of Egypt, which thou wast afraid of; and they shall cleave unto thee.”
–Deuteronomy 28:60

“And there came a writing to him from Elijah the prophet, saying, Thus saith the LORD God of David thy father, Because thou hast not walked in the ways of Jehoshaphat thy father, nor in the ways of Asa king of Judah, But hast walked in the way of the kings of Israel, and hast made Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to go a whoring, like to the whoredoms of the house of Ahab, and also hast slain thy brethren of thy father’s house, which were better than thyself: Behold, with a great plague will the LORD smite thy people, and thy children, and thy wives, and all thy goods: And thou shalt have great sickness by disease of thy bowels, until thy bowels fall out by reason of the sickness day by day.”
–2CHRONICLES 21:12-15

God’s Word also refers to one of God’s “four sore judgments” as being PESTILENCE (disease).

“For thus saith the Lord GOD; How much more when I send my four sore judgments upon Jerusalem, the sword, and the famine, and the noisome beast, and the pestilence, to cut off from it man and beast?”
–Ezekiel 14:33

So why is there so many teaching so much about Satan being the cause of disease?

Perhaps it is because Satan CAN cause disease–IF he is granted permission to do so from God.

“And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil? and still he holdeth fast his integrity, although thou movedst me against him, to destroy him without cause. And Satan answered the LORD, and said, Skin for skin, yea, all that a man hath will he give for his life. But put forth thine hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will curse thee to thy face. And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, he is in thine hand; but save his life. So went Satan forth from the presence of the LORD, and smote Job with sore boils from the sole of his foot unto his crown.”
–Job 2:3-7

In such cases, Satan becomes an agent of God.

There are other cases where Satan was allowed to afflict for various reasons.

“And, behold, there was a woman which had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and could in no wise lift up herself. And when Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said unto her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity. And he laid his hands on her: and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God. And the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation, because that Jesus had healed on the sabbath day, and said unto the people, There are six days in which men ought to work: in them therefore come and be healed, and not on the sabbath day. The Lord then answered him, and said, Thou hypocrite, doth not each one of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his ass from the stall, and lead him away to watering? And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day? And when he had said these things, all his adversaries were ashamed: and all the people rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by him.”
–Luke 13:11-17

In the case of Jesus loosening the woman from the bounds of Satan, Satan was allowed in afflict the woman so that her loosening brought glory to God and Jesus Christ.

Jesus Himself pointed out this concept at another time.

“And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth. And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind? Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.”
–John 9:1-3

AND YET, the church folk are confused about the origins of disease.

No doubt it is because church folk are taught that disease comes from Satan–another instance of their being deceived about the powers Satan does NOT have.

Satan DOES have the power to deceive men about disease.

Satan DOES have the power to deceive men about the devil’s power over disease.

But Satan DOES NOT have power over disease itself–regardless of whatever one may hear from the false teachers and prophets.

Satan can be granted power over disease BY GOD–IF it furthers God’s will.

In which case, Satan becomes a TOOL of God.

HAS the reader ever heard that Satan is the cause of disease?

It is not YET too late: there is still time to change direction (repent), place your faith (hope) for the future entirely on Jesus Christ and enter the kingdom of heaven.

THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST

“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. ”
–1 Corinthians 15:1-8

“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.”
-–Romans 1:16
