Redemption From The Curse of Sickness

Disease and death are part of the curse of sin, but I Peter 2:24 states:  

Who His own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we , being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.

When Jesus died upon the cross, He took the curse of sin and death upon Himself and. . .

. . . as by the offense of one (Adam) judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one (Jesus Christ) the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life.   For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous. (Romans 5:18-19)

Salvation and healing are both benefits of the atonement made by Jesus on the cross of Calvary. Through His death and resurrection, Jesus took the curse of sin, disease, and death in your place. Because He bore the penalty for your sin, you need not bear it. Because He bore your sickness, you need not bear it. Because He rose in resurrection life, you too shall rise!

Just as sickness and disease had no right to come on Jesus’ physical body when He walked on the earth, so it has no right to come on our body today. Nevertheless, the devil will try to bring the curse of sickness upon our life and he will stay as long as we let him; going as far as we will allow him to go. 

The devil will not leave you voluntarily—you must forcefully remove him from your life! It will be necessary that you tenaciously voice your rights as a child of God and enforce God’s Word against him.  Use your faith and the authority Jesus has given you to cast the devil out. Then, speak to that sickness and disease and command it in the name of Jesus to leave.

Jesus paid the price for you to live in freedom from sickness and disease. The Holy Spirit gives us power and authority so stand firm, speak God’s Word, and enjoy the fullness of your redemption from the curse.

Satan comes to kill, steal and destroy, but Jesus said. . .

. . . I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. (John 10:10)

When you receive Jesus as your Savior, the curse of sin is broken. Although you live in a mortal body which is subject to the attacks of both sin and sickness, you are no longer doomed by the curse. Jesus has redeemed you from the curse of the law!

Whenever you question the source of sickness (or anything) that comes into your life, ask yourself, “Does it kill, steal or destroy?” If so, its source is Satan. “Does it enable me to live life more abundantly?” If so, its source is God. Also remember. . .

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.  (James 1:17)

Ask yourself: “Is this suffering a good and perfect gift?”

If you cannot honestly answer "yes," then you must accept what the Word says. . . sickness is not from God!
