Although all disease ultimately comes from Satan, not all disease is caused by demon power. If some disease came upon a person as a result of his neglecting his body, one could not say it was caused by a demon.
However, if the malady was accompanied by a manifestation of a strange spirit, we would know its origin was demonic.
There are certain diseases which I believe are demonic manifestations. One of these is cancer. The very appearance of cancer reveals that it is an evil thing— completely abnormal and unnatural. Other diseases, such as epilepsy, may also fall into this category.
The important thing to remember is that whatever your need—regardless of the cause—Christ is the answer. Definitions in this area are not absolutely necessary. Whether you are injured in an automobile accident or suffer from sickness, disease, or satanic oppression, Jesus can and will set you free.
17. Can demons bless a person as well as curse him?
The devil does not really bless—he pretends or promises to bless. Through spiritism, the devil may convince a person that he has made him well, but that person will become sick again by the power of the devil. A demonic blessing is only momentary. Actually, it is a lie in disguise.
The devil is a deceiver. He has no tenderness or compassion toward any human being. If you could visit the countries of the world where demon power is strongest, you would not find people being helped or blessed by demons. Instead, you would find multitudes of people starving to death and ravaged by disease. Those who are totally demon possessed, who have given themselves over completely to the devil, are treated worst of all.
Demons, which are those angelic beings which fell from heaven with Lucifer, wish to possess human beings for various reasons. First, having no body of their own, they desire a temporal dwelling place. Secondly, they possess humans in order to strike back at God. God is too great and powerful for them to attack directly, so in their hatred they turn to His greatest creation, mankind, and oppress and destroy them. Their purpose is not to bless man, but to destroy him. In this way they hope to hurt God.
The Bible expressly teaches that all good comes from God: Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father (James 1:17).
