Sickness by Words, Healing By Words

Sickness, cancers, diabetes arthritis and the like, did not come into the world because people were not eating the right foods or not getting their 10,000 daily steps. They came into the world because God opened His mouth and spoke a curse against all reality, because Adam and Eve refused to believe what God said.  Sickness and health problems is a result of sin and God speaking a curse against mankind.

The main point is that sickness is a result of words spoken, not a result of eating or exercising. Sickness and health problems is not a natural aspect of reality. Sickness came by words spoken by God with power.

Now, take a guess how sickness is removed? It is removed by the same way it came into existence. It is removed by words, spoken with power. The bible never condemns medicine or doctors, but it never endorses it either. The bible exclusively says health comes by righteousness and faith. The only exception is a command not to be a glutton. Thus, if you eat 10,000 calories of donuts and sugary drinks, you are being unrighteous. Proverbs and the Psalms says over and over, that health comes by righteousness and faith. It never attributes health to how you eat.  

The bible does not condemn doctors or supplements. And so, there is nothing wrong in taking a vitamin, or changing your diet because it seems to make you feel better; however, the bible always endorses supernatural healing and never endorses doctors or medicine. Some need to meditate on this truth for many days to let it sink in. On this foundation think about how much time you spend on thinking about doctors, medicine and health reports and how much money a year you spend on human help that the scripture never endorses? Now think about how much time you spend on thinking about all passages in the bible that talk about healing by miracle power and how much time and money you spend on developing your faith to perform supernatural healing? You probably give more money to humans to save your health than you give to God in all your tithes and offerings. It is no wonder why you are still suffering.

Because many so-called Christians use their observations as a greater starting point for knowledge over the scripture, they end up being man-focused. They focus on what other men tell them about what they observe, or what they see and feel about health and sickness. For every one time they read a verse about health being related to righteousness, and faith in God’s promise, they think about food, doctors and their observations relating to health 1000 times more. They are the pinnacle of man focused. It’s all they think about, when it comes to health and sickness. And then they wonder why they still hurt. As in all things, God is our foundation, not man. He is our healer. He is our savior. He will deliver and heal.

Jesus Christ became a curse for us by substitutionary exchange, and by this we are also given the blessing of Abraham. This blessing includes health and supernatural healing, among other things.  The curses of the law included all sickness not recorded (Duet 28). Thus, every sickness, every arthritis and every pain is a curse from God Almighty.  But Jesus became our curse for us. We receive the removing of God’s curses by faith in Jesus Christ, just as we receive forgiveness and righteousness by faith in Jesus.

How did we receive forgiveness, by faith in the heart and confession with the mouth. The same is for healing. We believe Christ was already our curse for us, we believe by His stripes we are already healed, and then we confess it in faith. Jesus in John 14-16 says many times and in different ways, we have been given His authority, given His spiritual power, and given the right to use His name to ask for anything, which includes healing. This is why Peter said, “What I have, I give, in Jesus Name, Walk.” We have the same.

Jesus went so far as to teach us that we do not tell God about our mountain, but to use our authority in Him to open our mouths and command the mountain to move.

And now we are full circle. We started with God opening His mouth to speak a curse on reality, which brought sickness into our bodies. But now in Jesus Christ, God has put His words and authority in our mouths. Thus, we remove sickness by opening our mouths and commanding the sickness to get out. If you act sinfully, by not speaking in faith and asking God, or commanding the sickness to leave, then it will not, because you are acting in unrighteousness. Sickness came into our bodies by words spoken with power, and they also leave our bodies by words spoken in power.  

The Devil Is Making You Sick, Not God

I have heard the example that Jesus is the type of shepherd who breaks the legs of a straying sheep, to keep it from straying. This might sound compassionate in teachings found in eastern paganism, but it is nowhere found in the bible.

Some have this idea that God’s out there playing orthopedic surgeon with sheep, breaking legs to teach ’em a lesson, right? Well, not in my Bible. Rather, the bible flips the script, telling us it’s not God playing the cosmic chiropractor; it’s Satan who’s out there handing out sickness like it’s candy on Halloween.

Let me ask a simple question. When Paul handed the man who was sleeping with his mother-in-law, who did he hand him to? Paul said he handed this man over, to have his flesh destroyed so that his spirit might be preserved. Paul was handing him over to have his legs broken. But who did Paul hand him over to? Who was the one breaking this man’s legs? Who was ministering sickness? Was it God or Satan? Paul handed him over to Satan. The devil was the one breaking his legs and making him sick, not God.  The sickness on the human level was therefore, the will of Satan, not the will of God.

And so, Paul handed a guy over to Satan for some serious family drama, letting Satan do the dirty work. The point? God’s not your sickness Santa; that’s Satan’s gig.

This is an interesting example, because it involves an extreme type of sin a believer could do. It is not normal; it is an exception. Another example was the same Corinthians dishonoring the blood of Jesus by dishonoring the Lord’s supper. Paul was “disciplining” the man, and you could say God was disciplining him through Paul, for a severe sin, and yet, God was not the one giving the sickness. It was the devil.

God is sovereign over all things, so much so that He is the metaphysical author of sin and evil. God controls our thoughts and He predestines all things in the same absolute and direct way, whether it is faith or unbelief, reprobation or election. God controls all things, even Satan, more than a programmer controls how and what his program does. However, the bible denies pantheism and the bible mostly deals with us on the human or relative level.  Thus, Jesus would say, “it was God’s will, that healed this boy or blind man.” No, that is not what Jesus said. He said, “Your faith saved you from your sins, and your faith healed you.” We will do the same.

Even in the story of Job, who did not have the New Contract or Abraham’s blessing, God was not the one who ministered sickness and destruction. It was Satan. God is sovereign, in that He was the one who mentioned Job to Satan, in essence enticing Satan to go after Job. God orchestrated the whole thing. But it was Satan who ministered the sickness, not God. Thus, the sickness was the will of Satan, not the will of God. A similar situation with king David. The scripture says it was both God and Satan who caused David to sin by taking a census. These are addressing two different categories. God is the only real cause, but on the human level, it was Satan who ministered the sin, not God.

Therefore, even in Job’s case, where God’s like the director of a reality show called “Temptation Island,” it’s still Satan swinging the wrecking ball. And Jesus? He’s not going around saying, “Here’s a cold for your sins,” nope, he’s all about, “Your faith got you covered, now walk it off!”

The woman who was bent over for 18 years, who did it? Jesus Christ says it was the will of God, right? No. Jesus said it was, the will of Satan. Satan ministered the sickness, and God being faithful to the promise He made to Abraham, was ministering the healing. In fact, in Acts 10:38, Peter says it was the devil who was ministering the sickness to all the sick people, in the gospels, and Jesus was the one ministering the healing. The devil is a priest to the darkness; and so his ministry is one of sin and sickness. Jesus is a high priest to God, and so His ministry is righteousness, wealth and healing. He does not minister sin or minister sickness. He ministers healing and miracles. If you are an insider to Jesus, He ministers good things, not evil things.

Some might bark up and say, “But God does sometimes give sickness.” This is true, as far as it goes, but there is an important context. What category of people does God give sickness to? The answer is God’s enemies. God did not send Satan to kill the first born of Egypt, no, He sent His angel.  Why the sudden change? The category is different. Egypt is not a Contract insider to God. Egypt is God’s enemy and He is there for condemnation and judgment. It is personal for Him. He wants to destroy them Himself, and not use something like the devil.  God cursed the Philistines with cancerous tumors when they took the Ark of the Contract. They were not insiders; they were outsiders and enemies. Thus, God cursed them Himself.  Their sickness was not the will of the devil, it was the will of God.

This is significant because if you claim God, and not Satan, gave you a sickness, then you are identifying yourself as a reprobate Egyptian or Philistine. If you say your sickness, is the will of God, then you are claiming you are God’s enemy. You are identifying yourself as under the curse of God. You are identifying yourself as God’s enemy. If God is giving you sickness, then indeed, God is your enemy not savior. He is attacking you, not saving you. Your immediate concern is to be saved from hell, not healed.  

There is one other category for sickness. Sicknesses come as a curse from the Fall of Adam and as a curse from the law of Moses. However, in Jesus Christ, Paul says in Galatians chapter 3 that Jesus became a curse for us, so that in substitutionary exchange we get miracles and the baptism of the Spirit. We do not bear curses; rather, we bear the blessing of Abraham. Just as with forgiveness of sins, you receive blessings in exchange for sin, by faith. If you doubt it, then do not expect to receive this exchange, as both Jesus Christ and James teach us.  If you claim to have cancers and arthritis as curses from God, you are identifying yourself as still under God’s curses and not under Jesus’ atonement. If you are under the atonement, then you have been removed from being under curses.

If you’re on team Jesus, you’re in the healing line, not the disease queue. Claiming God gave you the flu is like saying you’re on God’s naughty list, which, let’s be honest, is not where you want to be unless you’re auditioning for a role in a divine drama.

This brings us back to the beginning. As a Contract insider, God does not minister sickness, He ministers healing and miracles. Sickness only comes to me in two ways: one is by Satan and the other is by curses. I have been redeemed and rescued from both.

This is important because if you realize sickness is Satan’s will, not God’s, and is from Satan, not God, you are not only freed to fight it, but are commanded to fight it. When Jesus says cast out demons, it is not a suggestion from a spiritual guru. It is a command. When the bible says to resist Satan and make him flee, it is not a suggestion, but a command.  Even if the sickness is from Satan, as a discipline from God, as James says in chapter 5, with faith I will be healed, and I will be forgiven. Because it is Satan’s will, not God, even if it was in the context of discipline, the command to cast out Satan and to resist him and make him flee is a standing command from God. You are to always do this.

Therefore, you do not have the freedom to allow Satan to bulldoze over you with sickness, no matter the context. You always have the standing command to make Satan and the sickness to go away. You are commanded to be victorious over the kingdom of darkness. You do not have the right, as a soldier of God’s kingdom, to allow the kingdom of Satan to beat you. You are commanded to expand God’s kingdom with truth and power. They are the ones who back up from attacks, not you. The only way to do this is with faith and power. You must take the authority and power of God and expand His kingdom by healing the sick, casting out demons and commanding mountains to get out of your way.

In conclusion, if you’re sick, blame Satan, for he is your unwanted health advisor. As a card-carrying member of the Jesus Club, you’re commanded to kick Satan to the curb, to resist like you’re in a cosmic tug-of-war, and to heal like you’ve got divine health insurance. Remember, in this divine comedy, you’re strengthened to be the victor, not the victim![1]

They Were All Healed


Also a multitude gathered from the surrounding cities to Jerusalem, bringing sick people and those who were tormented by unclean spirits, and they were ALL HEALED. Acts 5:26

Tradition says only Jesus could heal everyone, but this is a lie coming from a false teacher. The bible says that Christians do the same. The foundation is Acts 2:31-36. It is a God-centered focus on Jesus ruling at the right hand of the Power. It is not a man centered focus on the apostles; rather, is about Jesus and the authority to use His Name (Acts 3:6,16, 16:18). Peter said, “what I have I give to you, in Jesus Name, walk.” What Peter had, was the Name of Jesus, not the authority of an apostle. We have the same Name of Jesus today. Jesus teaches us in John chapters 14-16 that all Christians who have faith, can use His name to ask and command anything. In fact, this authority goes beyond healing and casting out demons to asking for anything you want.

Another observation is that healing is equated to casting out demons, which lines up with what Peter said in Acts 10:38. This is important because even if there is not a specific authority to cast out demons, yet, the free access and authority to heal includes any demonic oppression on the body and mind. In Isaiah 53 we are told Jesus’ substitutionary atonement includes healing. In this sense, authority over demons is a subcategory of healing. Jesus purchased with this blood our healing, which includes any harassment to our bodies or minds caused by demons.

To say healing is not on the demand of faith is to also say being freed from demonic oppression is not on the demand of faith because demonic oppression is a subcategory under healing.

Jesus did not lie. He said whosoever believes in Him will do His miracles and even greater. This is why see examples in the book of Acts, where everyone got healed, just like Jesus did it. The foundation for this happening was being baptized in the Spirit and faith in Jesus. We have the same foundation today. Jesus is still sitting at the right hand of the Power. We have the same context, the same Jesus, the same Spirit and the same millennial rule of Jesus at the Power’s right hand.

Sickness Is Satan’s Glory, Not God’s

The Arminians are wrong about God’s sovereignty. God does directly and absolutely control and predestine all things. However, this is about ultimate metaphysics, which the Bible only mentions a little, while it mostly talks about the human level. That is the level where God commands us, relates to us, and where we deal with things day-to-day; it is how the Bible mainly speaks to us. We will follow that pattern here. Not talking this way most of the time means not talking like the Bible.

God says in Isaiah 54:15, “They will surely gather against you, but not by Me.” He quietly assumes His own sovereignty but speaks straight to us on our level. God is more God-centered than anyone, and He has no problem saying, “I didn’t cause them to gather.” Jesus, the most God-centered man ever, said about both healing and forgiveness, “Your faith saved you.” In Acts 10:38, Peter says all the sick people Jesus healed were “victimized” or oppressed “by the devil.” So, the Bible has no issue saying sickness isn’t from God; it is from Satan or the curse.

This matters because if we think sickness comes from God, we won’t fight it. That is one reason Jesus battled sickness so hard while tradition doesn’t. Jesus saw sickness as Satan’s direct attack on Him, His Father, and His people. So, He smashed it wherever He found it. The only time He didn’t stomp out sickness—which Satan was causing—was when unbelief blocked Him. Think about that: unbelief stopped Jesus, but Satan couldn’t. Jesus was a one-man wrecking crew against all the sickness the devil threw around.

So, sickness is Satan flipping the bird at Jesus’ atonement. Healing is Jesus slamming His fist into Satan’s face, again and again. There’s a real war here. As Jesus said, if you’re not with Him, you’re against Him (Isaiah 53:4-5, Luke 13:16, Acts 10:38).

In the substitutionary atonement, Jesus took 39 stripes in exchange for our healing. It is already done. In the Father’s mind, He decided our sicknesses were taken off us and put on Jesus as those 39 stripes. Jesus carried our sickness in our place. The verse before, as the Spirit explains through Matthew, says He “bore” (nasa) or took our sicknesses and diseases away. It is the same word used in verse 12 for Jesus bearing our sins, and in Leviticus 16 for the scapegoat, when the high priest transferred the people’s sins to it, and it carried them off into the desert. It is a word for substitutionary atonement, and Isaiah 53 applies it to our sickness and healing.

Yet, many pin sickness on God—not just in the ultimate metaphysical or decree sense, but on the human, relational level. That is wrong. In our New Covenant with God, sealed by oath and blood, God promises to always deal with us in certain ways. We are promised forgiveness, imputed righteousness, but also healing, the blessing of Abraham, and constant good—like a fish for a fish, healing for healing. If Jesus is my High Priest and mediator forever, He doesn’t switch in and out of that role. If He gave me sickness, He would be a minister of sickness in His ministry to me. If Jesus gives sickness, then His gospel ministry is one of pain and torment. But Jesus is only a minister of healing—He takes sickness away; He doesn’t hand it out.

This last point stands out in one example. Jesus sometimes told certain Jews or crowds they weren’t Abraham’s children because they refused to believe—proof they did not belong. So, it’s a big deal when He calls someone a child of Abraham. Take the woman bent over for 18 years. Jesus said she was a child of Abraham—not an outsider, but part of the blessings in God’s covenant with Abraham. In that context, He said Satan made her sick, not God. God’s covenant with Abraham included supernatural healing, not sickness—it was the opposite. So, in God’s relationship with her, Satan delivered the sickness, not God. Jesus used the Abraham covenant as the reason she had to be healed, saying it was necessary—not just a nice idea, but a must. God keeps covenants; He doesn’t break them. The covenant with Abraham must include healing, or it wouldn’t be necessary for Jesus to heal her.

Because she had a standing covenant with God for healing, and because Satan gave her sickness as a curse and middle finger against God’s kingdom, Jesus wiped it out. Unless we see things like Jesus did, we won’t hit sickness hard with God’s healing power. If someone doesn’t get their insider status with God—or that sickness is Satan’s attack to ruin them and, by extension, a middle finger to God’s kingdom—they will let Satan roll right over them. They will accept his attack, slap a “for God’s glory” label on it, and call it a day. That’s demonic.

When Satan attacks someone with sickness, it sidelines a Christian and stalls God’s kingdom. As with warfare, an injured soldier also takes other soldiers away from the front lines to help carry and tend to the injured one. This is why in war it’s often better to injure more than to kill. Satan plays the same war game tactics with Christians by attacking them with sickness. Just as injuries in our army are the glory of the enemy, sickness in Christians is Satan’s glory, not God’s.

A person’s mind is seriously broken when they can’t tell good from evil, God’s glory from Satan’s. When a so-called Christian doesn’t attack sickness with God’s healing power, they’re letting Satan hammer God’s kingdom—and they’re okay with it.

Sickness is not God’s autograph—it’s Satan’s victory lap. Jesus did not just patch up boo-boos; He threw haymakers at the devil’s disease factory. If you are calling it “God’s will” while Satan’s racking up points, you are not just off-script—you’re cheering for the wrong team in this cosmic cage match.
