The second major reason we get sick is because we are in a battle with the devil. Sometimes our Enemy just fights us, and it’s not based on an individual sin we’ve committed. And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind? Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him. John 9:2-3

Jesus was saying that neither this man’s sins nor his parents’ sins had caused this blindness. Sometimes Satan just attacks us with things. The third main reason people get sick is simply natural things. Spirit-filled Christians will often so spiritualise everything that they don’t recognise that there are just some things that happen naturally. The good news is that no matter what caused the sickness—sin, the devil, or something natural—there’s always something we can do about it. Since the Lord has redeemed us from sickness and disease, we can take our authority, exercise our faith, and effect a cure. Even if our own sin opened a door and brought the sickness on us, we can repent and release the forgiveness and healing power of God in our lives.
