Matthew 12:22
Gospel of MatthewSteve Gregg
In this passage from the Gospel of Matthew, Steve Gregg addresses the concept of demon possession as a real phenomenon throughout Scripture but cautions against assuming that all physical disabilities are caused by demons. He points out that the majority of cases of disabilities in Scripture are not apparently caused by demons and that it is incorrect to assign demons as the cause of all physical illnesses. Gregg also notes that when someone is obviously possessed by evil spirits, it is not necessary to deny the existence of the supernatural. There may be encouragement to believe that spiritual means, such as taking authority over the powers of darkness in the name of Jesus, can remedy chronic conditions caused by demons.
