Churches’ prayer lists are full of the sick and dying. Rarely do people ever consider these people may be sick and dying because they are sinning. And they may never get back to health unless and until they stop (a) specific sin(s).
1 Corinthians 11:28-30 KJV
[28] But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup.
[29] For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body. [30] For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.
They were sick and dying because they did not discern the Lord’s body. That is, they did not value the other members of Jesus’ body, His church.
1 Corinthians 11:21 KJV
[21] For in eating every one taketh before other his own supper: and one is hungry, and another is drunken.
Psalm 38:3-7 KJV
[3] There is no soundness in my flesh because of thine anger; neither is there any rest in my bones because of my sin.
[4] For mine iniquities are gone over mine head: as an heavy burden they are too heavy for me.
[5] My wounds stink and are corrupt because of my foolishness.
[6] I am troubled; I am bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long.
[7] For my loins are filled with a loathsome disease : and there is no soundness in my flesh.
Exodus 15:26 KJV
[26] And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the Lord thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the Lord that healeth thee.
