THE BIBLE AND HEALING MINISTRY {Part 5}

Healing sicknesses projected through Demonic means

Presented by: Nightengale Ben-Onyeukwu

Devotional Text: Acts. 8:9-13

INTRODUCTION:

             The Holy Scripture which indicates that ... “there was a certain man called Simon, who beforetime in the city used sorcery, and bewitched the people of Samaria...” {Acts 8:9} strongly shows that people could cast spells, resulting in sickness and other forms of problems on the unsuspecting individuals through demonic means. For instance, in his book, Every Wind of Doctrine, Herbert Freeman remarks that, in Voodoo, there are magic rituals designed for the successful performance of practically any  purpose desired, from inflicting injury or death upon an enemy, to bringing good luck in marriage or success in one’s business,” and so, further confirms that certain ailments attack humanity from agents of darkness, as well as stirs the suspicion that certain, “so called” fortunes or healing from certain religious quarters may not be from the LORD GOD of heaven and earth, but products of appeased demons.

GENERAL REMARKS

(1)     Every sickness is not organic problem, {Acts. 8:9]

(2)     Some sicknesses are projected from demonic agents, {vs. 9}

(3)     Only DIVINE healing can combat sicknesses projected from demonic kingdoms, {Psalms 107:20}

(4)     Medical healing cannot take care of ailments projected from hell, {vs. 20}

HOW TO FIND OUT SICKNESS PROJECTED FROM HELL

             Sicknesses projected by the means of demons are known for their deadly bites, since the hearty ambition of Satan is to steal, kill and destroy, John {10:10A}. This informs why they often defile the best natural, cum medical treatment. It is common knowledge today that certain ailments diagnosed and treated in world-class medical establishments became unsuccessful until simple acts of prayer of faith attracted DIVINE healing from the LORD GOD of heaven and earth. Therefore, when a given malady persistently defiles medical and other forms of treatment, the need to look up to the LORD for solution becomes fashionable, as the problem may be demonic, and requires DIVINE intervention. To this end, this lesson posits that sicknesses projected by the means of Satan can only be treated by:

(i)                   Employing the word of faith, {Psalm 107:20}

(ii)                 Simple act of prayer of faith, [James 5:15}

(iii)                Casting out the demons responsible for the sickness, {Mark 16:17}.

THE USEFULNESS OF MEDICAL TREATMENT IN FIGHTING SICKNESS PROJECTED FROM HELL

            Medical treatment cannot be ruled-out in healing a victim of sickness projected from hell, since there could be physical problems like; boils bruises, blisters and more, resulting from the attacks of the projected ailments, which makes the use of medicine useful. In this connection, as the faith healer engages in tackling the spiritual dimension of the problem, a medical practitioner is expected to handle the physical wounds or problems caused by the demonically projected sickness. However, on no account should any fetish means be employed in trying to heal a victim of sickness from an agent of hell, as Satan cannot cast out Satan {Matt. 12:26}, but always in the business of destruction, {John 10:10A}. Strictly speaking, to engage a fetish medicine man in an effort to heal one suffering from projected ailment from demonic kingdom is to provoke GOD to anger, which carries devastating consequences that could lead to the death of the patient one is trying to help, and so, the courage to resist such a temptation is strongly needed. Based on the foregoing, it becomes biblically correct to state that one suffering from sickness projected from demonic world, needs:

(i)                   Faith healer, for prayer of faith {James 5:15}, and demon casting, {Mark 16:17}

(ii)                 Medicine, for the healing of some of the effects of the projected sickness, {2 Chr. 28:15}

(iii)                Doctors or physicians to dispense the medicine required for the healing of physical wounds, {Jer. 8:22}

ONLY DIVINE HEALING IS ADEQUATE FOR THE HEALING OF SICKNESS PROJECTED FROM HELL

Medical treatment could be necessary in tackling some wounds or other medical problems that could arise as a result of attacks from ailments projected from the dark world of demonic kingdom, but should not be taken as alternative treatment for the healing of a patient in the problem, since the core problem is spiritually. And, to miss this point, is to beat about the bush, in any effort which seeks to deliver someone suffering from projected sickness. By way of information, a projected malady is demonically supernatural, and requires SUPERNATURAL treatment, enforced by the WORD of GOD. Thus, the Holy Scripture says, “He sent HIS WORD and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions, {Psalm 107:20}. Therefore, when a given ailment is proven beyond doubt, to be a projection from the pit of hell, then, it becomes the time to:

(i)                   UNDERSTAND that, ... “when the enemy comes in like a flood, the SPIRIT

 of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him,” {Isa. 59:19}

(ii)                 SAY in prayer, “Let GOD  arise, let HIS enemies be scattered; let them

 also that hate HIM flee before HIM,” {Psalm 68:1}

(iii)                DEVOTE, to GOD, in prayer and fasting, for the deliverance of a victim of the demonic attack, {Matt. 17:21}

  In conclusion, this lesson remains a biblical establishment of the truth that some sicknesses are not organic problems, but demonically projected from the covens of the demonic kingdom, as well as carries the emphasis that it takes ONLY the POWER OF GOD to combat such problem when they show up.
