Sickness and disease are the result of sin. Man forfeited his union with God and his dominion in the earth through disobedience. Satan usurped legal authority to rule in the earth. With a broken mind and body, man was irrevocably chained to the law of sin and death.
God sent Jesus to destroy the works of the devil, to create a new race of priests, to restore man to his proper place – union with the Father and dominion in the earth. Through Jesus’ death, resurrection and ascension He gained the right to send the Holy Spirit into His Body of believers, empowering them to carry out Jesus’ works of healing, deliverance and salvation.
