Daily Bread – June 22, 2021 (The Third Day – Genesis 1:9-13) Romans 8:10 – But if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. Part 1 ~ Jesus Destroyed The Authority Of Sickness & Disease When Adam sinned, one of the judgments that came upon him was that his body, which was made from the dust of the Earth, would return to the dust. This process of corruption made the body the host of disease and sickness. When the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ is being preached, it targets as its number two enemy: sickness and disease. When Jesus was anointed of God to preach, His focus was to destroy the works of the devil which are not only works of sin, but also the works of sickness and disease (1 John 3:9; Luke 13:10-17). When Jesus anointed His disciples, He sent them to do the same thing He did. They were sent to cast out devils and to heal every kind of sickness and disease – the same is true of the seventy others also and of us today (Matthew 10:5-8; Luke 10:8-9,17; Mark 16:15-18). In fact, the anointing of this Gospel was so strong upon the Apostle Paul’s life that handkerchiefs and aprons were taken from his body and placed upon the sick and the demon possessed, and as a result, the diseases and the devils would depart out of their bodies (Acts 19:12).
