WHERE DOES SICKNESS AND DISEASE COME FROM?
(By: Norm Rasmussen)
I'll get directly to the point: Sickness and disease does not come from God. It never has come from God. It always has originated from Satan and the demonic host of fallen angels that serve him.
People who take issue with the above statement will quote a few passages of scripture from the Old Covenant (Old Testament) to add doubt to the matter, often in their ignorance, sadly.
So much confusion surrounds spiritual matters because so many Christians, for whatever reason, have yet to realize that the New Covenant is where God wants us living now.
When officially did the Old Covenant end and the New Covenant begin? Many believe it began when Jesus resurrected from the grave and went back to heaven. I'll join this group. It keeps matters simple, in my opinion.
Can you find one scripture from any popular translation of the Bible that specifically states that God sent a sickness or disease upon someone for any reason after Jesus resurrected? I can't.
What I do find is that disciples of Jesus Christ are pray for the sick; lay hands on the sick; anoint with oil for the sick; cast out demons as lead by the Holy Spirit to see the sick and/or diseased healed.
Dear Reader - are you at peace with God? If not, you can be. Do you know what awaits you when you die? You can have the assurance from the Holy Spirit that heaven will be your home, if you would like to be certain. Either Jesus Christ died for yours sins, or He didn't (He did!). Are you prepared to stand before God on the Judgment Day and tell Him that you didn't need the shed blood of Jesus Christ on the Cross to cover your sins? We plead with you ... please don't make such a tragic mistake.
To be at peace with God; to make certain heaven will be your home for eternity; to make certain that you are in right-standing with God right now ... please click here to help understand the importance of being reconciled to God. What you do about being reconciled to God will determine where you will spend eternity, precious one. Your decision to be reconciled to God is the most important decision you'll ever make in this life.
