Who Sinned?
“As Jesus passed by, He saw a man who was blind from birth. And His disciples asked Him, saying, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?” Jesus answered, “Neither this man nor his parents sinned, but that the works of God should be revealed in him.”“ John 3:1-3
Many times in life we will associate an illness, disability, or physical ailment as a sign of a punishment, curse, or a lack of Faith.
And although there are situations where these things do apply (through revelation of the Holy Spirit), it is not always the case.
One of the greatest mistakes of leaders in The Church, is when it’s insinuated that one isn’t healed because of a lack of Faith, or a sin.
This belief is quite dangerous, as it can lead a person into a downward spiral of despair and hopelessness, of which Satan benefits from.
The truth is, not everyone will receive healing in this life.
For some, it is simply not God’s Will.
At times, afflictions are allowed to keep one’s soul from being lost to the evil one.
We must understand that in ALL things, God wants to get The Glory; not just in the things we deem are good.
Isaiah 45:7 reminds us that The LORD owns light and darkness; the chaos and the peace. So in other words, He owns the good times and the bad.
But the clue is to find Him in everything…. even in death.
“I form the light and create darkness, I make peace and create calamity; I, The LORD, do all these things.’” Isaiah 45:7

Where in the Bible do you see that someone was refused healing? I would love to see that scripture so I can be convinced. There is no healing for me.
The Bible says that he would be zealous for the house of God. He turned over the tables and cast out the wickedness from the temple. We are now the temple of God, and all the more he will be zealous for our temple to cast out all evil, seeing is evil and sickness is evil. He promises us good things he keeps no good thing from us. Health is a good thing I believe he uses these situations to catch your attention but I do not believe we are to stay. We are to change and then are healing will come.
Great post! Preachers are teaching that…. ALL christians will be healed by the Lord and that’s simply not true. And it’s not always because of sin or lack of faith. People really need to read and study the bible to get revelation. Also seek the Lord for answers to questions about everything. God bless!
Hi, Mena,
since I have been suffering from chronical illnesses and other pain issues who come and go, It is seldom to find such a biblical view from prophets out of Charismatic circles..
In my search for answers I found such verses like the one you cited in the whole Bible!! The prophets of old especially, the writers of the Psalms, Job, Jeremiah, who greatly suffered all directed the trials and pain at GOD!
This seems to be hidden for many preachers today who only point out the Goodness of God and not his righteousness.
Even in the NT we find the same characteristics. He chasitses as a father to prevent us from being condemned (1.Kor.11 and Hebr. 12, Rom. 8:28).
The whole counsel of God needs to be taught….!
