Chat: The devil is the ultimate author of this sickness and everything else that steals, kills and destroys, so I don’t understand why God allowed this sickness.
The fact the something happened does NOT mean that God had a PURPOSE in “allowing” it. God “allows” all kinds of things every day in this fallen world because He gave the world to man (Psalm 115:16). Actually, God isn’t the one who “allows” sickness. It is illegal as far as He is concerned because Jesus has redeemed mankind from it. (While there ARE rare New Testament examples of God afflicting people as punishment, this never applies to a believer unless he is seriously hurting OTHER believers, whom God needs to protect.)
No, WE are the ones who “allow” sickness by not taking authority over it in the name of Jesus. What WE allow on earth is allowed in heaven and what WE forbid on earth is forbidden in heaven (Matthew 16:19).
I suggest that you read the following next:
