Sickness is of the devil!

Many pastors teach “Christians can’t have demons.” And that’s the end of it. However, people in their churches are filled with people that have all manner of illnesses. Most believers have adopted the false idea that if they ignore Satan, he will ignore them. According to scripture such a position is indefensible.

l Pet. 5: 8, 9; 8 “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: 9 Whom resist steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.”

Jesus often healed by removing spirits of infirmity which are another method of Satanic attack.

“Now when the sun was setting, all they that had any sick with divers diseases brought them unto him; and he laid his hands on every one of them, and healed them. 41 And devils also came out of many, crying out, and saying, Thou art Christ the Son of God. And he rebuking them suffered them not to speak: for they knew that he was Christ,” (Lk. 4:40-41).

Consider Peter, who one moment spoke by Divine revelation, declaring that Jesus was the very Christ and the next moment was reprimanded by Jesus, who rebuked Satan in him.

“Thou savorest not the things that be of God,” (Matt. 16:13-23).
