All five categories of sickness/disease healed by Jesus (and commanded for us to heal) fit right inside this generic word, infirmities (weakness) from Romans 8:26.

From Romans 8:26, 'helps' is the Greek word: sunantilambano:
Sun (soon) – in “partnership” with someone else
Anti – “against” – describes a person who is a menace to society; a perpetually enraged person
Lambano – “I take” – but with the idea of violent intent;
To seize something/someone forcibly and pull to yourself

When mastigos, a plague sets up shop in our body or family, or when we’re arroustos, comatose/unresponsive…
Sun – Holy Spirit comes alongside to work in partnership with us
Anti – He is enraged that this thing would dare to raise its ugly head against His temple,
Lambano – He reaches out to take hold of it and forcefully removes it from your life and the lives of those He’s sent us to minister to!
