SICKNESS IS OF THE DEVIL
“And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand: And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand?”
Matt 12:25-26
Main Text: Main text: 1 John 3:8
Sickness and disease are not God’s desire for His children; He desires that we walk in divine health. However, due to certain factors, He made provision for healing. It’s imperative to note that sickness and disease are bad, and Jesus made it His responsibility to heal everyone who came to Him. Furthermore, Jesus noted in John 10:10 (AMP), "The thief comes only in order to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance [to the full, till it overflows]." God desires that you have life and have it in abundance, which includes unending prosperity and well-being.
Jesus made it His responsibility to heal the sick, and when He was accused by the Pharisees of using demonic powers, He reminded them that Satan cannot stand divided against Satan, thereby likening sickness and disease to the work of Satan. Don’t ever get it twisted—sickness and disease are of the devil, and it is God’s will to heal you and make you whole. Trust in His healing power, knowing that His desire is for you to live in divine health and well-being.
He is a Healing Jesus and wants to make you whole! Jesus is a healer; He is our healer. He never met a case too difficult for Him. He never had to turn anyone away, saying, "I’m sorry, I cannot help you." Instead, He jumped right into action and began the healing process. Jesus never told anyone it was not His will to heal them or that He wanted to teach them something through their sickness or disease. On the contrary, He healed them all, demonstrating His boundless compassion and power. Trust in Jesus as your healer, knowing that He desires your complete wholeness and well-being.
Confession:
In the Name of Jesus, I boldly declare that I am blessed and I walk in divine health. Sickness and diseases have no place in my body. I am blessed by the Lord, and His favor surrounds me like a shield. I experience His blessings in every area of my life. I walk in divine health, for my body is the temple of the Holy Spirit. I declare that I am strong, healthy, and full of vitality. The life of God flows through me, giving me strength and renewing my youth like the eagle’s.
