THE ORIGIN OF SICKNESS AND DISEASE<\/strong><\/p>\n

God is love.\u00a0 He always wants freedom for His people and blessings instead of curses.\u00a0 He wants us to prosper, to succeed.\u00a0 After all He has empowered us to prosper and be in health, even as our soul prospers (3 John 2).\u00a0 He has paid the price for us to prosper and be health.\u00a0 He took all our diseases and sicknesses upon Himself.\u00a0 What He left us is healing and health.\u00a0 They are ours.\u00a0 It is our privilege to keep these blessings of health.\u00a0 It is our responsibility to be aware of our freedom of health and to learn how to keep it.\u00a0 We learn that from God\u2019s Word.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s go on a journey back to the first book of the Bible, Genesis, to the Garden of Eden, on this earth, with Adam and Eve, the first man and woman, created by God.<\/p>\n

God gave Adam dominion or rulership over this earth.\u00a0 Adam was a free man.\u00a0 By an act of his will, Adam made satan his lord and thus gave the rulership of the earth to satan.\u00a0 As a result, the nature of spiritual death which is in satan replaced the nature of spiritual life which is in God (zoe).\u00a0 Divine health comes from spiritual life.\u00a0 Sickness and disease (dis—ease) comes from spiritual death.<\/p>\n

When man sinned or listened to satan and disobeyed God\u2019s instructions, he died spiritually.\u00a0 Spiritual death does not mean you no longer exist; it simply means that you are separated from God and thus open to everything satan has —- lack, want, death, sickness and disease, poverty, defeat, failure.\u00a0 Sickness came as a result of spiritual death.\u00a0 Man was not sick before.\u00a0 There is no sickness in God, and God had breathed Himself into man.\u00a0 Sickness comes from satan.\u00a0 It is a perversion of health, the opposite to health.\u00a0 Everything opposite to God comes with satan.<\/p>\n

To this day satan hates the man God created and does everything he can do to destroy man.\u00a0 Jesus told us that the thief (satan) comes only in order to steal, kill and destroy, but Jesus came that we may have and enjoy life, have it in abundance, to the full, until it overflows.\u00a0 That is divine health—-fullness, overflow of life.<\/p>\n

It was not God\u2019s will for Adam to sin.\u00a0 Neither were the results of that sin God\u2019s will.\u00a0 God never intended for man to be sick or have to contend with sickness.\u00a0 Sin is manifested in the spirit of man.\u00a0 Sickness is manifested in the body of man.\u00a0 All of it is a curse and not a blessing.\u00a0 Both sin and sickness are a result of man\u2019s forfeiture of rulership of the earth to satan and his demons and his works.\u00a0 Both are works of evil and not of good.\u00a0 But certainly neither is from God.<\/p>\n

The curse is a powerful force on this earth, but God had a plan even before man fell.\u00a0 The curse has overtaken the entire world, but God and His Word have the power to stop it.\u00a0 Until Jesus came to permanently take care of that curse, God instituted statutes and ordinances (His Word, in essence) which Israel was to diligently keep.\u00a0 Their keeping of these statutes and ordinances was their only way of deliverance.\u00a0 God was not being harsh or demanding or trying to put a burden on people with these statutes.\u00a0 He was showing them that this is what was necessary for their freedom.\u00a0 However, they discovered they could not keep these laws.\u00a0 God had already provided the solution. \u00a0Blood was shed from animal sacrifices to cover the people\u2019s sins.\u00a0 He always has a plan for His beloved people.<\/p>\n

Then Jesus, the Living Word, came and shed His blood to redeem man from the curse of the law.\u00a0 That was the ultimate plan God had all along for His beloved ones.\u00a0 Aren\u2019t you glad you as His Beloved One have been redeemed from both sin and sickness and disease?<\/p>\n
