Lesson 4 – Sickness

 

General Principles

Firstly, it must be mentioned that sickness does not necessarily have anything to do with sin or demonic attacks. Sometimes God uses sickness to achieve His own purpose in a person’s life (John 9:2-3).

God does often use medicine and doctors to heal people. After all, God uses people to bless other people.

We must always ask for the Holy Spirit’s guidance when we are praying for a sick person. For example, the sick person may have heart problems that are caused by being overweight and bad eating habits … in this particular case, it would be wise to pray for the sick person to have discipline and self control!

Whilst the Lord gave the Gift of Healing to some people, this does not mean that only those people may pray for the sick (Mark 16:17-18; James 5:14-16).
