Bible Verse of The Day – 9-8-15

Luke 13:11 (NKJV) 11 And behold, there was a woman who had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bent over and could in no way raise herself up.

We’d like to follow up on yesterday’s message in an effort to clarify a couple of things.

The Bible has many examples of various types of evil spirits in operation.

Lying spirits and spirits of infirmity are just two examples of spirits that were named specifically. Today we want to talk briefly about spirits of infirmity.

It’s important for us, as believers, to understand that many illnesses, especially those where medical doctors claim there is no known cure, and those that last for many, many years, are not physical in nature.

They have physical symptoms, but these physical symptoms are just outward manifestations of an inward spiritual presence. Simply put, they are caused by evil spirits of infirmity.

This doesn’t mean that a person who is inflicted with a spirit of infirmity is possessed. It simply means that this particular spirit has caused them to become sick or lame, and no amount of medical knowledge will fix it.

Yes, some medications might make it slightly better, or help a person “manage” their condition. But if the root of these problems is spiritual, a physical “cure” won’t fix the problem.

Jesus taught his disciples to cast out demons, spirits of infirmity, because He knew that it was what was needed to rid these people of their conditions. This is exactly what took place in my own life, when I was healed and delivered from asthma over 20 years ago.

Doctors didn’t know how to cure it. But God did! And did He ever fix it.

God is still in the healing business, even 2000 plus years after Jesus walked the earth.
