When God created man, He gave him all authority and dominion over the face
of the earth; Over the birds of the air, fish of the sea and everything that
creapeth upon the face of the earth. There was no sickness or disease upon
the face of the earth at that time. There was no sin. Everything was pure,
holy and righteous. The Bible says that God would come down to the garden,
and walk and talk with Adam in the cool of the evenings. God loved His
precious man. |

When Adam sinned in the garden, all authority and dominion was handed over
to the enemy. No longer could God have relationship with man. God is pure
and holy and He cannot look upon sin. God put a curse on the earth and on
Satan at that time. God never put a curse on man, but because of man's fall,
he suffered the effects of the curse because Satan became his master. That
is when sickness and disease entered the earth. It was a result of the fall.
It was a
result of sin.
God loved His precious man so much that He sent His only son, Jesus to
become the ransom for our sins. He came upon this earth in the form of a
man. He never sinned, and He was perfect in every way. He left all of His
authority and power in heaven and became a human, so He could qualify as the
sacrificial Lamb of God that was to take away the sins of the world. Man had
given authority to Satan, and only man could qualify to win it back. The
Bible says, Jesus was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our
iniquities; the chastisement for our peace was upon Him, and by His stripes
we are healed (Isaiah 53:5). Jesus loved us so much that He was willing to
take upon Himself the sins of the whole world, so we could be restored to
right standing with the Father.
When we ask Jesus into out hearts, we become new creations in Christ. No
longer does the enemy have the authority to put us under his curse. No
longer is Satan our master. Jesus becomes our master. We become servants of
the Most High God, and His only desire is to see us free. The Bible says we
are under grace. We are blessed and highly favored of the Lord. We are the
righteousness of God in Christ. Old things are passed away, and behold all
thing are become new. We become the redeemed of the Lord. |
