Jesus said, man cannot live on bread alone, but from every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.
00:00:11.520
When Jesus and the disciples, they pass a man who is born blind.
00:00:17.160
And they ask Jesus, whose sin made this man born blind, his or his parents?
00:00:23.320
And Jesus responds by saying, neither, but so that the glory of God might be revealed.
00:00:27.820
But notice what Jesus does not say. He says, neither this man's individual sin resulted in
00:00:34.620
this man's individual physical ailment, nor his parents' individual sin resulted in his physical
00:00:41.260
ailment. But Jesus does not say, he does not say that no one's sin made this man born blind. He
00:00:48.620
simply says, neither his or his parents. But the reality is that Jesus does affirm, because Jesus
00:00:56.520
affirms everything in the scripture, the reality is this. All sickness ultimately is a result of
00:01:04.100
someone's sin, if no one else's, namely Adam's. This world only has sickness and disease and death
00:01:13.240
because it is under the curse that came about through sin. And so all sickness is a result
00:01:20.240
of sin, at least in a general sense, in a general sense. However, we might also find a both and,
00:01:28.380
not either or, but in some cases, sin is only, sickness is only rooted in sin in the general
00:01:35.260
sense, but sometimes sickness can be found to be the direct cause of sin in general and sin
00:01:43.280
in particular, meaning that individual could have their own individual particular sin that
00:01:49.980
results in physical ailments, like a lack of discipline, right? Somebody could have horrible
00:01:57.440
eating habits. Somebody could have choosing to give themselves towards harmful substances and
00:02:06.640
drug use and all these things. And in that case, we're not trying to beat the person up, but it's
00:02:12.060
not loving to pretend as though the person's moral actions, the person's habits and rhythms
00:02:19.760
and disciplines have no effect on their personal health. Of course it does. Can I be frank with you
00:02:26.780
for just a second right here at the end? Look, some of you guys, you're financially supporting
00:02:31.580
this ministry and from the bottom of my heart, I say thank you. I cannot thank you enough. However,
00:02:38.600
some of you, you just, you can't afford it. In fact, some of you, you shouldn't afford it.
00:02:45.000
Let's be honest. I mean, we're living in Joe Biden's ridiculous economy. Our nation and our
0.91
00:02:51.800
totalitarian political elites lost their minds over the last three years due to COVID. We have
00:03:00.180
written checks that we simply cannot cash. It doesn't matter if people change the definition
00:03:06.060
of a recession. We are living in a recession right now regardless. Some of you are struggling
00:03:13.020
to afford a carton of eggs at the grocery store. You cannot support financially this ministry at
00:03:20.020
