WHERE DOES SICKNESS AND DISEASE COME FROM?

Please Help Share God's Best News Gospel
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, and released on the earth through the sin of Adam and Eve.
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.

We plead with you...please don't make such a tragic mistake.

Remember: All that we do in this life comes back to our God-given purpose which is to serve and glorify God. The money and assets we accumulate, the fame and power we've attained or seek to attain - all of the things of this nature will one day pass away, but those lives of others we impact for Jesus Christ will last for eternity, and we will be rewarded for the part we helped play by impacting those lives ... for eternity. (Matthew 6:19-20 is our assurance)
