Where Does Disease Come From

When looking at the origin of disease and death, you will learn that there was no disease in the garden until he fall of man. You will get a real understanding about where does disease come from according to the bible.

No Sickness or Disease Before the Fall of Adam and Eve

Before the fall of Adam and Eve, there was no sickness, disease, mental illness, death, etc.  In fact Adam and Eve had a God conscience and the devil could not communicate with them in spirit.  That is why Satan showed up in a physical body of a snake to talk to Eve.  After the fall, Adam and Eve had a self-conscious.

Gen 1:26 “Then God said, ‘Let us make man in our image, in our likeness.'” God  created us on the sixth day of creation. He created us in his image, giving us dominion of this whole planet.

After the fall, the curse came upon them.  What did that mean.  It meant that their bodies would not live forever and that they would have to face death, sickness and disease. Until the millennium, we will have different bodies that don’t die.

Gen 2:16-17 “And the LORD God commanded the man, ‘You are free  to eat from any tree in the garden; but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat of it you will surely die.'” Here  is the first indication of possible sickness and death: disobedience: “you will surely die.”

I believe this gives us a clear picture of where does disease come from according to the bible.

What Causes Diseases Today?

If you read Deut. 28: 21-61, you will notice a whole list of curses to those who sin. Among them are: diseases, plagues, fever, inflammation, severe burning fever, scorching, boils, tumors, scabs. It is clear here that God does not consider sickness as a blessing,  but rather a curse. Bottom line, sin causes disease if not repented and habitual.

what does disease come from and what does the bible say about disease and sickness

Where does disease come from in humans?  When the curse of death came upon man, Satan entered the genetic system of the body to begin his destructive mission. He came to kill, steal and destroy you.  The Bible confirms that Satan is the source of evil in the world. Our sin opens the door for Satan to attack us. Jesus said he is a thief and …

The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. . .
(John 10:10)

What does disease come from in a person?

Sickness destroys the body like sin destroys the spirit. Disease steals health, happiness, money, time, effort, and strength. It truly kills and destroys. Even “accidents” that harm the body are destroying agents of Satan. Because the source of sickness is Satan, you must resist it just as you do temptation and sin. When you resist temptation and sin you are doing spiritual warfare against Satan’s attacks on your soul and spirit. When you resist sickness you are waging spiritual warfare against his attacks on your physical body.

Jesus Redeemed Us From The Curse of Death, Sickness and Disease

The good news though is that Jesus died in our place and redeemed us from the curse Gal 3:13-14 “Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: ‘Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree.’ He redeemed us for the blessing given to Abraham might come to the Gentiles through Christ Jesus, so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit.”

Through Jesus Christ, the Lord have us authority to cast out demons and heal the sick. The demonic world of the disembodied spirit world, they once had bodies but lost them. This explains why they hunt for bodies. They crave bodies to inhabit.

Then, the New Testament gives us more clarification of this fact. Jesus himself referred to disease as satanic bondage (Luke 13:16). We know that Jesus anointed with the Holy Spirit to remove such bondage (Luke 4:18; Isaiah 61:1; Acts 10:38). We know that Jesus identified a demonic spirit are related to physical disease (Luke 13:11).

Other biblical references of Sickness and Disease:

Jesus knew where does disease come from. That is why he died on the cross. In this verse, serpents and scorpions refer to demonic spirits. The phrase, all the power of the enemy is much broader and would include illness. This is very clear when all of chapter 10 in context, but even if it had not been so clear, we could come to the same conclusion based on Acts 10:38.

How did Jesus bring healing to this woman? He rebuked the fever, just as he rebuked the spirit a few verses earlier. This is further evidence of the satanic origin of sickness and disease.

Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases. And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick (Luke 9:1, 2).

We know God created everything, but keep in mind that sin is not a creation, sickness is not a creation, and death is not a creation. These things only exist in the absence of the intended order of creation; they are perversions of the original intention of God. Nevertheless, many will site Isaiah 45:7 to argue the point that even evil is the creation of God.

I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.

So, we see that sickness and disease is a result of generational sins of the ancestors, from Adam and Eve, and from personal sins.

Further, every disease comes from a germ of life. Just as your spirit gives life to the body, Satan provides the destructive elements of sickness. In the natural world, God takes a living cell and multiplies it to bring forth life and a new child is born. Satan counterfeits this positive process with a negative cycle of his own. He takes a living cell (virus, cancer, etc.) and multiplies it to bring forth death. This is the “spirit of infirmity” which works in your body when you are sick. When the spirit of infirmity is cast out, disease in your body dies. As long as that germ exists in the body, the disease lives and continues its destructive work.

How Does God View Sickness and disease

If you understand how God views sickness you will never again doubt its source. God calls sickness captivity: And the Lord turned job out of captivity. . . . (Job 42:10)

Jesus came to preach deliverance to the captives:

The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because He hath anointed me to preach the Gospel to the poor, He hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised. (Luke 4:18)

Where does disease come from: Jesus called sickness bondage:

And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day?

(Luke 13:16)

Jesus came to set people free with the truth:

And ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free.

(John 8:32)

The truth is that Jesus viewed sickness as oppression and healed those with oppression.

How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power; who went about doing good, and healing all that have oppression of the Devil; for God was with Him. (Acts 10:38)

The Bible identifies death as an enemy:

The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death. (I Corinthians 15:26)

For my loins are filled with a loathsome disease; and there is no soundness in my flesh. (Psalms 38:7)

It is also viewed as evil:

An evil disease, say they, cleaveth fast unto him. . . (Psalms 41:8) There are verses in the Bible which indicates God sent a plague or sickness. While God is not the originator of such ills, Jesus always carry out His purposes in executing judgment upon the enemy.
