"The prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up..."
James 5:15
And the prayer [that is] of faith will save him who is sick, and the Lord will restore him; and if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.
Satan has no authority over us after we are born again unless we give it to him. When we resist the devil, he will flee (James 4:7). We must resist sickness and disease with the same tenacity we resist sin. It’s our right to stay healthy. In fact, it’s my job and yours to take authority over the enemy in every area of our lives. We must not give him an inch!
Jesus also plainly tells us, “The thief cometh not, but for 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). Jesus showed us that anything that steals, kills or destroys is from the devil. But good things, things that give life—such as healing—come from God. In His ministry, Jesus healed everyone who would receive Him.
Jesus commissioned the Church to do the will of God. He told His disciples to go in His Name and do the things He had been doing: Cast out the devil. Lay hands on the sick, and they will recover (Mark 16:15-18). The Spirit of God is still at work today, just as He was in Jesus’ ministry. The power has not waned. But we must do our part.
