Power Over Sickness: The Authority We Have in Christ
The ministry of Jesus on earth was marked by compassion, preaching, and healing. Everywhere He went, He healed the sick and cast out devils. He didn’t avoid the suffering—He confronted it. That same healing power did not end with His earthly ministry. It was passed on to His disciples, and it continues today through men and women who believe in His name. Bishop Dag Heward-Mills is one of those voices—preaching and demonstrating the power of God over sickness in city after city.
The message is clear: sickness is not from God. It is a work of the enemy, and Jesus came to destroy the works of the devil. Through crusades, books, and teachings, Bishop Dag emphasizes that believers are not helpless against disease. There is power available in the name of Jesus to overcome every form of sickness and infirmity.
This is not just theology—it is reality. The countless healing testimonies from the Healing Jesus Campaigns confirm what Scripture says: by His stripes, we are healed.
Preaching with Authority
When Bishop Dag preaches on healing, there is no hesitation. He speaks with the authority of one who knows the truth, not just intellectually, but experientially. He doesn’t beg God to heal—he commands sickness to go in Jesus’ name. That level of confidence doesn’t come from emotion. It comes from revelation.
He teaches from the Word, showing how Jesus gave His disciples power over unclean spirits and to heal every disease. He reminds believers that they, too, carry that same authority when they walk in faith and obedience.
It’s this conviction that releases healing in his crusades. The Gospel is preached, faith rises, and the power of God moves. People are healed in their seats, on the altars, and even in the streets near the crusade grounds. It’s not about the man—it’s about the message and the power behind it.
The Power of the Cross
The foundation of healing is the finished work of the cross. Bishop Dag always brings the message of healing back to the blood of Jesus. It was on the cross that Jesus bore our sicknesses and carried our pains. Healing is not a bonus—it’s part of the atonement.
When people understand this, they stop begging for healing and start receiving it by faith. They realize that Jesus didn’t just die for their sins—He died for their wholeness.
This truth brings freedom. It breaks fear. And it stirs boldness to stand against sickness, not as victims, but as victors.
Healing That Glorifies God
One of the most beautiful aspects of Bishop Dag’s healing ministry is that it always glorifies Jesus. There is no self-promotion, no attention-seeking, no manipulation. The healings are testimonies of God’s mercy and power, and the glory goes back to Him.
After every miracle, Bishop Dag calls the crowd to salvation. The physical healing is always a doorway to a greater miracle—the healing of the soul. And that’s the ultimate goal: not just bodies healed, but lives surrendered to Christ.
Conclusion: We Are Not Powerless
Sickness is real, but it is not greater than Jesus. Through the life and ministry of Bishop Dag Heward-Mills, we are reminded that the Church still carries power—power over sickness, disease, and oppression. This power is not reserved for a few. It is for every believer who will stand on the Word, walk by faith, and trust in the name that is above every other name.
We are not powerless. We have been given authority. And through Jesus, we can declare healing, pray for the sick, and see God’s power made manifest—today.
