SEVEN BIBLICAL PROOFS THAT SICKNESS COMES FROM THE DEVIL

Many Christians and non-Christians have heard but do not yet understand how and why it is said that sickness comes from the devil. Some have not even heard this saying before, and still many, who might have heard it, do not believe it. If you believe that the Bible is the authentic, and the authoritative word of God, which I am sure that it is, then as you go through this article, you will understand it fully.
Firstly, we are told in the book of Job chapter2 and verse 7, “So went Satan forth from the presence of the Lord, and smote Job with sore boils, from the sole of the foot unto his crown.”Here we are clearly shown, how that the old devil himself, carried sickness in the form of sore boils, and put it on the God’s servant-Job.
Secondly, in the book of Luke chapter 13, we read the story of a woman, who was bound by a spirit of infirmity for 18 years, and could in no wise lift up herself because according to Jesus, it was Satan, that bound her, thus we read in Luke 13 verse 16:”And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, this eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the Sabbath day?”
Thirdly, in the book of Mathew chapter 12 and verse 22 we read the story of someone who was possessed by the devil, and is was written that the same individual was both blind and dumb because the devil had made it so, thus we read: “Then was brought unto him, one possessed with a devil, blind and dumb: and he healed him, in so much that the blind and dumb, both spake and saw.”
Fourthly, in the book of Mark, chapter9, verses 17 to 27, we read the story of another child that was possessed by a devil that made him dumb, and caused him to pine away or to loose weight, and to gnash his teeth and foam in the mouth. The disciples of Jesus, had tried to cast out that devil and failed, but that child became normal, after Jesus cast out the devil.
Fifthly, in the book of Acts chapter 10 verse 38, we read: “How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power : who went about doing good and healing all that were oppressed of the devil: for God was with him.” We can clearly see that the Bible shows here that the devil is the one that oppresses people with sickness and disease, while Jesus was anointed to heal them.
Sixthly, in the book of 1John chapter3 verse 8b, we read:”for the devil sinneth from the beginning .For this purpose was the son of God manifested , that he might destroy the works of the devil.” In the book of John, chapter 10 verse 10 we read:”The thief cometh, but for to steal, to kill and to destroy…” Here we can clearly see the threefold ministry of the devil, killing, stealing and destruction.
Finally, in the book of Mark chapter 5 and verse 15, as well as in Mark chapter 7 and verses 24-30, the devil is clearly shown to be the cause of insanity in both the syrophenician woman’s daughter, and the demoniac of Gadara. Thus in Mark chapter 15 and verse 8, we read: “For he (Jesus), said unto him, ‘“Come out of the man, thou unclean spirit.” ‘“, and in verse 15 of the same chapter 15, we read, “And they come to Jesus, and see him that was possessed with the devil, and had the legion, sitting, and clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid.” In the case of the Syrophenician’s daughter, we read in chapter 7 of Mark, from verses 24 to 30, and especially in verse 29 And he said unto her ,For this saying, go thy way; the devil is gone out of thy daughter.” If you read the next verse, you can see that the daughter was actually healed following the casting out of that devil.
In conclusion, l have just given you a few examples of how that the devil causes sickness, and notice that the devil caused sore boils, deafness, dumbness, blindness, insanity, or mental illness. In the same way he causes, paralysis, other diseases and death .It is my heart’s desire that all those who treat the sick today, including all doctors and nurses, etc, will have this kind of knowledge.
