"Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases. And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick. And he said unto them, Take nothing for your journey, neither staves, nor scrip, neither bread, neither money; neither have two coats apiece. And whatsoever house ye enter into, there abide, and thence depart. And whosoever will not receive you, when ye go out of that city, shake off the very dust from your feet for a testimony against them. And they departed, and went through the towns, preaching the gospel, and healing every where."
In today's quote, before sending them out to prepare their fellow Jews for the kingdom of God, Jesus gave them power over all devils and diseases. They were to rely strictly upon faith for their sustenance and wellbeing.
Today, every born again child of God has the same power over the devil and his diseases that was given to those apostles, so long as they have absolute faith in Jesus Christ. This is the promise Jesus made to us, "For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith." (Mark 11:23)
Therefore, it is duty of the faithful to keep and exercise that faith by praying without ceasing for the health and wellbeing of those around us and for those things that advance the will of God in our lives.~
