The Cause of Illnesses: Evil Spirits
All diseases and illnesses are ascribable to evil spirits. But as for God, He takes care of all illnesses and ailments. People who are sick come to me with all kinds of illnesses, but after I put my hand on them, they all gain their healing. I have healed thousands of people since I started my healing mission. However, I use only one method for healing—putting my hand on the sick or afflicted.
People go to doctors with all kinds of illnesses, but the question that needs to be addressed yet often is not is this: What brings these illnesses about? What is the source of these illnesses? My answer to that question is simple: evil spirits are the source of all illnesses.
The evil spirits that enter human beings each afflict the body in different ways. For instance, there are evil spirits that attack the heart and others responsible for stomach ailments. When I put my hand on the sick, any evil spirit in their body must depart. Once the evil spirit departs, the person feels well. If the evil spirit does not leave, they will not recover. Any type of illness—whether madness or barrenness—is caused by evil spirits.
A Faith Healer with Divine Power
I am a Faith Healer, and Ghanaians are fortunate to have me in their midst. When I meet with you, any type of illness afflicting you can be removed. I will cause it to depart your body, and you will be free. I am a Messenger of God with extraordinary power, which is why I can do this—to cast out the evil spirits inside the body and make the person well again. As Jesus Christ of Nazareth said in Mark 3:27: “In fact, no one can enter a strong man’s house without first tying him up. Then he can plunder the strong man’s house.”
The Method of Healing: Laying Hands
Since I started my healing mission in 2009, I have healed thousands of sick and afflicted people. My method has remained the same: placing my hand on the sick. Before my arrival, people did not understand the true cause of illnesses. They only knew someone was unwell, but not what caused it. Now, through my work, I have made it clear that illnesses are caused by evil spirits.
Healing from a Distance
The beauty of my healing mission is that I don’t even have to meet you face-to-face to heal you. I have healed countless people living overseas and in distant places from my location in Ghana. All I do is send my message of healing to the person in a faraway land, and they receive it. Ten minutes after I command their sickness to leave, they call to thank me, saying they have been healed.
Unique Evil Spirits for Each Illness
Every type of illness is caused by a specific evil spirit. Right now, there is nobody else in the world who can put their hand on the sick and cast out the evil spirits causing disease. Many people who come to me reveal to me that have been baptized three or four times for the same illness, but the sickness keeps returning after a few weeks of slight improvement. This is because the illness is caused by an evil spirit, and no ordinary man or woman has the power to cast it out.
The Exclusive Power of a Messenger of God
Only Messengers of God, like me, can do this. Ecclesiastes 8:8 states: “There is no man that hath power over the spirit to retain the spirit; neither hath he power in the day of death: and there is no discharge in that war; neither shall wickedness deliver those that are given to it.” No human being has the power to exorcise evil spirits except a Messenger of God. God has granted His Messengers extraordinary power to cast out evil spirits.
Jesus himself performed such miracles, as did many Nazarenes before him. It is a blessing that God has brought a Messenger of God to humanity in the present time.
Addressing Negative Life Issues
When I meet with you, I can also address any negative life issues you are facing. Sometimes people come to me because they are struggling in life—facing constant failure no matter what they do. This happens because there are evil spirits blocking them, preventing progress. Such afflictions make it difficult for them to secure jobs or succeed in their endeavors.
When I meet with such individuals, I exorcise the evil spirits that are afflicting them. These spirits can come from the maternal or paternal side of the family, but regardless of their origin, I have the power to drive them out.
