HealingAndSatan1
Speaking of false
ministers who “preach another Jesus,” Paul wrote, “For such are false apostles,
deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no
marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it
is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of
righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works” (II
Cor. 11:4, 13-15). What is
one of the possible ways that Satan would make his ministers appear as true
ministers of God? By demonstrating certain “miracles,”
including acts of apparent healings. (Also notice Rev.
13:11-14.)
In the book of Exodus,
beginning in chapter 5, we see that Pharaoh’s court magicians were able to
perform certain acts similar to the miracles God performed through His servant
Moses. These were things that God allowed Satan to do, through Satan’s
servants, as part of the process of hardening Pharaoh’s heart (Ex.
4:21; 7:3; 14:4), so that
Pharaoh would be witness to God’s power in delivering
While Scripture shows that
Satan does not cast out his demons (Mark 3:23-26), it
would certainly work to his advantage (as the god of this world – II
Cor. 4:4) to make his ministers appear to
have healing power. Keep in mind that Satan can do whatever God allows him to do. (See Job
1:12; 2:6.) And, as Matthew 12:43-45
shows, if a person possessed by a demon is freed from it, and the person’s mind
is not receptive to the truth from God’s Word, then that demon will return,
bringing with him “seven more wicked than himself.”
Also consider that Satan
does not have our best interests at heart (I Pet. 5:8). He
knows that “he has but a short time” (Rev. 12:12)
before Christ returns. He knows that our ultimate potential, as those made in
the image of God (Gen. 1:26), is to rule with Christ in the
