Sickness and disease are the work of the devil. The Bible makes this clear in John 10:10 NKJV when Jesus said, “The thief [devil] does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.”
Jesus came to earth so that He might destroy the devil’s evil works that try to attach themselves to our lives. First John 3:8 NKJV says, The devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil.
Maybe you’re faced with a physical problem in your back or hips. Or maybe you have failing eyesight. You may have a problem with your hearing or some other problem, such as stuttering. Maybe your knees are bothering you. You may have an asthma condition and have trouble breathing. Whatever it is, Jesus came to destroy satan’s evil works. So right now let’s set our faith in agreement with God’s Word and believe Him for the miracle you need as I pray:
In the authority of the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, I come into agreement with you against sickness, against fear, against doubt, against whatever it is that is trying to attach itself to your life. Jesus was manifested that He might destroy the works of the devil. You belong to God! So I say, satan, take your hands off God’s property. I come against your evil works and command them, in the Name of Jesus, to stop. Amen.

In Numbers 12 the Lord tells us what we should do when people do us wrong. Verse 1 says that Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Ethiopian woman he had married. Now frankly, it was none of their business who Moses married, and they even went so far as to say, "Has the Lord indeed spoken only through Moses? Has He not spoken through us also?" (v. 2 NKJV). They were treading on dangerous ground, and the Bible says in verse 9, The anger of the Lord was aroused against them. As a result, Miriam was struck with leprosy.
Now when somebody decides to judge you and stick their two cents' worth into your business, your human instinct might be to say, "Let's take 'em down!" Moses could have easily said, "It serves you right for talking about my wife that way!" But look at verse 13: Moses cried out to the Lord, saying, "Please heal her, O God, I pray!" Instead of crying out for vengeance, Moses prayed for mercy! So God healed Miriam and blessed Moses for his forgiving spirit.
It takes a big person to pray for someone who is coming against them. But God is saying, "Release that person. Don't hold it against them." We've all been hurt, lied to, or made fun of. But when you forgive those who have done you wrong and pray for them, it does two things: First, it allows them to see the love of God in operation, and they may get saved as a result. Second, it releases you from the terrible bondage of unforgiveness, and nothing will be held against your account. Forgiveness can be your path to freedom!
