leading of the Holy Spirit.
That's the reason some cases of sicknesses don't
respond to medical treatment. Sicknesses that are
caused by the actual presence of an evil spirit can't be
treated with natural remedies.
But if an evil spirit is directly causing the sickness
and disease, and the believer is standing on the Word in
faith, he can depend on God to deliver him. However,
the evil spirit will have to be dealt with by the power of
the Holy Spirit and the Word of God.
In Mark 9:17-29, we see another example of Jesus
dealing with an evil spirit, this time in the lunatic boy.
How did Jesus deal with that evil spirit? He rebuked it
and cast it out of the boy.
But Jesus did that by the same anointing of the
Holy Spirit that was upon Him when He touched and
loosed the woman bound by the spirit of infirmity.
Sickness and disease is not always the result of the
presence of a demon. For instance, in Mark 7:32-37
Jesus dealt with a man who was deaf and had a speech
impediment.
Evidently, an evil spirit wasn't involved in this
infirmity because Jesus just put his finger in the man's
ears and said, "Be opened," and the man spoke plainly.
Jesus didn't deal with an evil spirit at all. Evidently the
man's deafness resulted from natural causes, so he just
needed to be healed.
But in another instance, Jesus ministered to a man
who was "dumb" or couldn't speak. This time, before
Jesus could get the man healed, He had to cast out an
evil spirit.
