Heading For Healing 34: You Have Got To Deal With The Demonic, The Source Of Sickness, First

This comes from William Marrion Branham by route of Daisy Osborn (starts at 5:35 in linked video): there was no sickness, disease, or death until Satan caused sin in the Garden of Eden. He led the rebellion that caused them. At first there wasn't any, and then there was. I take Satan to be the ignorance in man. From God we became man, and we do not remember what we were and really are. So we operate normally in a type of amnesia. (Alternative video.)

In our amnesia, we see the world as evolved by nature. This is one type of history, the world of ignorance. We accept that sickness, disease, and death are just natural--the way it is in this world. And what we assume the world is, becomes.

There is another type of history: salvation history. This is the history in the Bible; it is symbolic, about mind, spirit, and imagination--our evolution. We enter this history when we become born again "from on high." We are converted from primarily physical evolution to spiritual evolution.

In our ignorance we are heavily influenced by the demonic: bad stuff is just natural, your bad luck, fate. We accept that, think badly, and because of this suffer sickness, disease, and death (and all other forms of loss). But saved, "born again," we are in salvation history, the other evolution. In this, Christ has ended all the work of ignorance--Satan, the Devil, and the demonic--in redeeming us before the foundation of the world. The natural world of ignorance is superseded by the spiritual world of the Son we are now in, if we are indeed saved.

"Help my unbelief," cried the father of the epileptic boy. Jesus, symbol of that nature of God to form us into Him, did not heal the boy of epilepsy but cast out the demon, the ignorance of accepting that disease was "natural." As we join the spiritual world, we get its quality of redemption--we are as before the satanic ignorance ever occurred. Sickness, disease, death have no right to exist in the redeemed. Prayer and fasting are to get us to know who we are: the redeemed of God.

"Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run . . .
And there's still time to change the road you're on" (Robert Plant, Stairway to Heaven).

Edit: Two things:

1) Before the Beginning God knew all the sin that would happen in the course of His becoming. He accepted His responsibility for it. THAT was our redemption in Jesus Christ, before the foundation of the world. Jesus Christ in the Season of Grace pictured that, put it on display in the snapshot the Season was (see Daniel 9).

2) When we see who and what we are redeemed in Christ and submitted to God as BEFORE the fall, God sees us thus also--WITHOUT sin and without sickness. What He sees/assumes to be . . . becomes. We call it healing; for Him, it's just what we are.
