THE AUTHOR OF SICKNESS
A thing of Belial is poured out on him. . . . —PSALM 41:8 (Young’s Literal Translation)
Second Corinthians 13:1 says, “. . . In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established.” So let’s look at some more scriptures that tell us that sickness comes from Satan—that he is the author of it.
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
The THIEF [Satan] COMETH NOT, BUT FOR TO STEAL, AND TO KILL, AND TO DESTROY: I [Jesus] am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
—John 10:10
He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that HE MIGHT DESTROY THE WORKS OF THE DEVIL.
—1 John 3:8
Confession:
Satan is the author of sickness and disease. According to Luke 13:16, John 10:10, First John 3:8, and Acts 10:38, sickness and disease come from Satan. So I refuse anything that comes from him, and stand my ground on the Word of God, which says that Jesus came to destroy the works of the devil and to give me life more abundantly.

HEALTH WORDS
There is that speaketh like the piercings of a sword: but the tongue of the wise is health. — PROVERBS 12:18
I first learned the secret of words — faith words — when I spent sixteen months on the bed of sickness, given up to die by five doctors. But one August day in 1934, as I lay in that bed, I acted on Mark 11:23 and 24, and I said . . . ! Words were spoken!
I said, “I believe that I receive healing for the deformed heart. I believe I receive healing for the incurable blood disease. I believe I receive healing for the paralysis. I believe I receive healing from the top of my head to the soles of my feet.” Within the hour, I was standing on my feet beside the bed — healed!
Now more than sixty-five years have come and gone, and I haven’t even had a headache. And I won’t have one. But if I did have one — which I haven’t— I wouldn’t say my head hurt. Why? Because Jesus said, “. . . he shall have whatsoever he saith” (Mark 11:23). If someone were to ask me in such a case, “How are you feeling?” I’d reply, “I’m fine, thank you. You see, the Word of God says that by His stripes I am healed. So I believe that I am healed. And the Word of God says . . .” And I would speak the right words — for the tongue of the wise is health!
Confession:
My tongue is health. It speaks words of life and health. I talk health. Therefore, I walk in health.
