[FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]D. Demons or Illness? [/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]
Physical healing was an important part of the earthly ministry of Jesus. However, Luke makes a clear distinction between physical healing and providing deliverance from demon possession, as shown in these verses.[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]Luke 4:40-41: "When the sun was setting, the people brought to Jesus all who had various kinds of sickness, and laying his hands on each one, he healed them. Moreover, demons came out of many people, shouting, 'You are the Son of God!...'"[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]Luke 7:21: "At that very time Jesus cured many who had diseases, sickness and evil spirits, and gave sight to many who were blind."[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]E. Demons and Epilepsy [/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]
Luke records a case where a child's demon possession caused what we would call epilepsy today. In Luke 9:39, the boy's father describes his son's symptoms:[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]"'A spirit seizes him and he suddenly screams; it throws him into convulsions so that he foams at the mouth. It scarcely ever leaves him and is destroying him.'"[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]Jesus provides the solution in verse 42:[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]"Even while the boy was coming, the demon threw him to the ground in a convulsion. But Jesus rebuked the evil spirit, healed the boy and gave him back to his father."[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]F. Demons and Speech Disability[/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]
Luke also documents the case of a person who had his speech restored when he was delivered from demon possession. Luke 11:14:[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]"Jesus was driving out a demon that was mute. When the demon left, the man who had been dumb spoke, and the crowd was amazed."[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]G. Multiple Demons Possessed a Single Person [/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]
Luke records two case of persons who were possessed by multiple demons. These cases are important, also, when considering multiple personalities, reincarnation, and channeling.[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]Note in the first case, the number 7 in the Bible can be interpreted as numerous instead of the simple count of seven. In the second case, it's good to remember that in New Testament times, the military term legion represented 6,000 soldiers.[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]Luke 8:2: "...and also some women who had been cured of evil spirits and diseases: Mary (called Magdalene) from whom seven demons had come out; ..."[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]Luke 8:30: "Jesus asked him, 'What is your name?' 'Legion,' he replied, because many demons had gone into him."[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]H. Physical Disability Caused By a Demon[/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]
In Luke 13:10-13, he documents the case of a woman who had a physical disability for eighteen years because of a demon:[/FONT]
[FONT=Times New Roman, Times, serif]"...and a woman was there who had been crippled by a spirit for eighteen years. She was bent over and could not straighten up at all. When Jesus saw her he called her forward and said to her, 'Woman, you are set free from your infirmity.' Then he put his hands on her, and immediately she straightened up and praised God."[/FONT]
