The Sources of Sin, Sickness,
Disease, and Healing
Physical, Emotional, and Mental

From The Plan of God Point 15​

The Bible teaches that Satan and devils are the source of and the influence behind the sins and therefore sickness of mankind. That is, they propagate sin and disease and control the law of sin and death in the human race. (Matt. 4:23-24; 10:1-7, Luke 10:1-20; 13:16; John 10:10; Acts 10:38; Rom. 7:7-25; 8:1-4; 1 John 3:8; Heb. 2:14-15).

In addition to sickness, sorrow, pain, and other wickedness too numerous to mention here, the god of this world (Satan) darkens the sight and minds of man preventing him from seeing the truth of the gospel of the Messiah (Christ). (2 Cor. 4:4; 1 Cor. 13:12)

Disease is a curse that comes from sin (Dt. 28; Ex. 15:26; Rom. 5:12; 5:14; 1 Pet. 3:10-11). Its emergence indicates there is a cause (Pr. 26:2). Blessings and curses are revealed in Deuteronomy 28 —we choose what we will have (Dt.30:19). Although God will have mercy on anyone He chooses (Rom. 9:15), most times the cause of the curse must be dealt with before the blessings (healing and health) come from Him (I Thess. 4:3; 5:23; Eph. 4:20; 5:26-28; 2 Cor. 3:18; 7:1). This seems to be a missing link even in the Christian church today. See Twenty Proofs that Sickness is Satan's Work below.

The Bible also teaches that God sent Yeshua (Jesus) into the world to save man from all sin (Matt. 1:21; Eph.1:7; 1 John 1:7-9; Rev. 1:5), heal man of all diseases and to deliver from demons (Matt. 8:16-17; Acts 10:38; 1 Pet. 2:24; 1 Jn. 3- 8), and to answer all prayers for anything that one desires that are covered by the promises of God (Matt. 7:7-11; 18:19-20; 17:20; 21:21-22; Mark 11:22-24; John 14:12-15; 15: 7; 16: 23-26).


Twenty Proofs that Sickness is Satan's Work

1. Satan smote Job with "sore boils" (Job 2:7)

Hebrew: shechiyn (OT:7822), to burn; inflammation. It is translated boil (Job 2:7; Exodus 9:9-11; Leviticus 13:18,19,20,23; 2 Kings 20:7; Isaiah 38:21); and botch (Deut. 28:27,35). It denotes a tumor on the flesh accompanied with severe inflammation. Job's affliction caused him restless nights. His skin broke out with running ulcers so severe that he would bite himself because of the pain.
2. God "turned the captivity of Job" (Job 42:10)
3. Jesus healed a "dumb man possessed with a devil" (Matthew 9:32-33)
4. Jesus healed a blind and dumb man "possessed with a devil" (Matthew 12:22)
5. "If Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself ... I cast out devils by the Spirit of God" (Matthew 12:26-28)
6. A woman's daughter was "grievously vexed with a devil" (Matthew 15:22)
7. "Jesus rebuked the devil" (Matthew 17:18)
8. A man "had a spirit of an unclean devil" (Luke 4:33)
9. "The devil had thrown him in the midst" (Luke 4:35)
10. A boy had a demon the disciples could not cast out, but as Jesus approached, "the devil threw him down, and tare him" (Luke 9:42)
11. After Jesus cast out the dumb devil, "the dumb man spake" (Luke 11:14)
12. "There was a woman which had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years" and was bent and couldn't straighten herself; Jesus declared that Satan had bound her (Luke 13:11-16)
13. "The thief cometh not, but to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly" (John 10:10)
14. "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" (Acts 10:38)
15. Jesus called Paul to turn people "from the power of Satan unto God" (Acts 26:18)
16. Regarding an unrepentant immoral man, Paul said he would "deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh" (1 Cor. 5:5)
17. When Jesus sent the twelve disciples out by twos, "they cast out many devils, and anointed with oil many that were sick, and healed them" (Mark 6:7-13)
18. Jesus commissioned the seventy to "heal the sick"; they returned with joy, saying, "Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through Thy name" (Luke 10:9,17)
19. Jesus partook of flesh and blood, "that through death He might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil" (Hebrews 2:14)
20. "For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil" (1 John 3:8). The works of the devil include demons causing many physical infirmities and sicknesses.
There are demon spirits for every sickness, unholy trait, and doctrinal error known among men. They must be cast out in order to get relief from them.
Disease germs, which are closely allied with unclean spirits, are really living forms of corruption which come into the bodies of men bringing them to death. Just as refuse breeds maggots, so man in his fallen state of corruption breeds germs through unclean living and through contact with corruptions in the fallen world. Germs are agents of Satan, corrupting the bodies of his victims through unclean spirits that work invisibly in men.

Is The Devil & Your Health Connected ?

Two Sources of Relief from Diseases


1. Satan and devils who cause the disease can also remove them under certain circumstances.They will hold man in defeat and sickness as long as possible (Acts 16:16; Ez 13:6,7). They can also use clergy (Jer 6:13,14; Lm. 2:14). God alone can deliver from their power unless of their own accord they relinquish their hold on people. Jesus taught us in Matt. 12:43-45 that demons can leave a person and then come back again if they desire. The fact that they go out when rebuked by those who have power over them proves that they can loose any person they bind (Matt. 12:22-32; Luke 10:18-20; Acts 19:11-17.) It stands to reason that if they can put diseases upon people, they can also take them off when it is to their advantage.

When will it be to their advantage? When they can deceive people with false doctrines and, get them to accept false religions that deny the essentials of the gospel of salvation that will save their eternal souls. Yeshua (Jesus) and others predict that in the latter days these demon powers will be increasingly active and will "show great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very "elect" (Matt. 24:24; 2 Thess. 2:8-12; 1 Tim. 4:1-8; 1 John 4:1-6;Rev. 9:20; 13:1-18; 16:13-16; 19:20).

A number of false religions today are getting people healed and are bringing people certain other benefits, but their deceived followers never get to know the true source of these manifestations. Just because people get some benefits, they are convinced that the source must be of God, but this is not true, as can be seen in the above Scriptures. Yeshua (Jesus) said that in the judgment, “Many will say unto me . . . Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I NEVER KNEW YOU: depart from me, YE THAT WORK INIQUITY" (Matt. 7:21-23).

These religions, without exception, deny the blood of the Messiah (Christ), the new birth, the bodily resurrection of Jesus, and all the essentials of the gospel that will save the souls of man in eternity.

The devil backs up such preaching by taking off some sicknesses, and in other ways he helps people who follow these religions, and they are convinced that they have at last found the true religion. However, they do away with Christianity and the Bible and will be damned in the end because of rejecting Yeshua the Messiah (Jesus Christ) and the cross (Acts 4:12).

Whether the “treatment†works or not is not the criteria (Is. 30:1-3; 5:20-21; Pv. 14:12; 16:2; Mt. 24:24; 2 Cor. 11:14; Eph. 4:14; Col. 2:8). We cannot separate the practice from the spirituality: A Christian practitioner of an occultic modality does not change the modality to a Christian one, as seen in the above Scriptures.

Pharmaceuticals

In Gal. 5:19-21, the author teaches us the “works of the flesh†includes “witchcraft†(v.20). The original Greek word for “witchcraft†is “Pharmakeia†= medication. Reactions to prescription medication are presently the fourth leading cause of death in the U.S.

These statistics are not different for most born again Christians. Shouldn’t they be? Aren’t believers called out of something into something else? Please read on.

Nutritional/Herbal Remedies

In Gal. 5:19-21, the author declares that the ‘works of the flesh’ includes ‘witchcraft’ (v.20). The original Greek word for ‘witchcraft’ is ‘Pharmakeia’ = medication. In Biblical times synthetic pharmaceutical chemicals did not yet exist. Therefore ‘medication’ was made from all-natural substances.He was warning about nutritional/herbal remedies.


2. God is the true source of help, not Satan and the Devil. We come to you with the true message of the Bible, and we guarantee upon the authority of the Word of God that you will get healing, health, prosperity, answers to prayers, and anything that God promises you if you will follow faithfully the instructions of the Bible, and you will not have to deny God, Christ (the Messiah), or one thing in the Holy Scriptures to get these benefits. You can get to know God in reality and enjoy the fullness of God in your life as you walk in truth and conform to the will of God. Then, too, your eternal soul will be saved in the end, and you will have eternal life instead of eternal damnation, which the followers of these false religions will have to endure.

We want it distinctly understood that there are two sources of help and you can get SOME help from demons if you will deny the truth, but if you will let the true God be your source of help, you will get ALL you want in this life as well as in the life to come.

So, what does my sister need to do to get God to heal her from M.S.?

The devil can cause illness, but it's also just our condition in Adam, for we are all dying. However, the Lord heals us ---- such is the meaning of the bread in communion. If only sin was the issue, then the wine (blood) would be enough. The bread is for physical healing which was foreshadowed by the people of Israel who ate the roasted lamb for strength before departing Egypt. There was not a sick person in their midst.

The Lord is my healer --- His Spirit gives me strength and health, and physically he shows what is good nutrition. I'm never sick at almost age 52. And I get offended when the world, medical profession, and politicians, in their infinite wisdom, tell me that I am sick because my blood numbers or weight numbers may not be to their liking. The Lord says, "I am the Lord that heals you. You are well." Satan says, "You are deficient; you are sick. You need these drugs"

The latest craze is cutting down your salt as just announced. The fact is, they look at salt as a "necessary evil" (like you need some, but it's a necessary poison). What did Jesus say? "Salt is good....." I noticed a demonization of foods lately that God declares Kosher in His Word. Woe to them that call good evil and evil good.

You know what, Tim is right, some foods and other stuff that the Bible says is alright, secular man says that it is not.

You know what, Tim is right, some foods and other stuff that the Bible says is alright, secular man says that it is not.

list those foods.

i know a man who i swear will go through a last one can of salt a month.

and he has high blood pressure.

list those foods.

i know a man who i swear will go through a last one can of salt a month.

and he has high blood pressure.

And how do you know that salt contributes to his high BP? Actually, when I say salt, it ought to be more the sea salt variety as refined salt is a little harsh on the body (being stripped of its nutrients). That being said, the medical world is against ALL salt even if you said you use sea salt instead they and the government would decry it nevertheless.

Also, oftentimes the problem is not too much salt as normal kidneys will expel excess. Rather, it may be an imbalance with too much sodium and not enough potassium (found in vegetables for example). The imbalance may affect some people with BP issues since both are electrolytes.

Kosher foods:

Found in Leviticus regarding meats.

Fruits, vegetables are Kosher and also grains as I read a lot about olives (and oil), dates, pomegranate, almonds, figs, flax seed, etc. This also includes WINE

Milk and cheese are kosher, but these are the more "goat based" variety in the bible.

Herbs and salt are Kosher

Meats that are Kosher are any animal that parts the hoof and chews the cud.
That includes beef, lamb, venison. Rabbits, groundhogs ( a redneck's favorite) and possums are out, sorry.

Fish with fins and scales are Kosher, but not others such as crustaceans.

Birds (like chicken) that don't kill their prey are Kosher. But those that do, e.g. an eagle is not. Eggs are Kosher as long as they are not spotted. That means chicken eggs.

Let's see, I think that includes all the food groups, ie, fruits, vegetable, grains, meat, dairy, seeds, nuts, legumes and oils.

Now, ask yourself what foods on that list they demonize when God said they were OK? And how about foods not on that list that they don't and say you may have?

It's time we start obeying the bible, and frankly, I'm tired of a Washington bureaucrat, a doctor and Big Pharma telling me what to eat when they can't even keep their own houses (and probably marriages) in order.

Sometimes you don't know what God is going to do. To be honest some He will heal and some He will not. I don't know which one He is going to do for your sister.

lol. you are telling a jew, what is kosher.

its only considered kosher when the rabbi blesses it, though i see nothing wrong with that diet

on salt its in excess that is bad.

and uh, ever raise chickens? the are natural scavengers and will peck carcasses fellow dead chicks or chickens.

really, i use sea salt,and hp bp runs in my family,unless god intervenes.like my mom,uncles and grandpa who all have or had high blood pressure.i will get this

my mom is underweight and eats right and is anemic and takes iron supplements and yet still hash high blood pressure

i have been unable to remove a ring before cause i was taking in too much salt.

i stopped that and that was changed.

salt kicks out potassium and vice versa in the body

ironically though on the periodic table those are very similiar in properties

true salt(natrium) is explosive
like potassium

and we can only take in nacl,nai and this for toothpaste nafl

same with potassium.

bananas and raw potatoes are the highest in potassium.

What instructions should she follow (that she obviously hasn't been so far)?
