Numbers 12:9-13 Miriam and Aaron sinned by not submitting to Moses (opposing God’s appointed leader) Opposing Moses meant they were opposing God himself. Burned against them and He departed.
Miriam became leprous when God departed. By Miriam’s leprousy – it allowed Aaron to SEE that they have acted foolishly and confess sin. Moses cries out to Lord and He heals her.
When God departs bad things happen.
Psalm 38:1-3 This is a lament that lays a person’s troubles before God, when that person realizes that these troubles result from his own sin.

Arrows sunk deep in and hand pressed down, no soundness in flesh bc God’s indignation
Complete emotional and physical distress… (this is God’s mercy on him) The psalmist is penitent… By God’s response to sin it brings the psalmist(who had come out by sinning from God’s protective umbrella) back to God …under God’s protection…rather

John 5:5-8, 14 Man who was sick for 38 years Jesus sees him and asks if he wants to be well. Heals the man. Man makes self pity excuses. After he is healed he goes back to his old habits of living like he’s still sick (begging using his old condition) Jesus rebukes him and tells him to stop sinning!
1 Corinthians 11:27-32 Communion – taking elements without examining self God will Judge him… Judgement befall! If we judge ourselves rightly we will not be judged by God
Philippians 2:25-30 Epaphroditus got sick on the journey to bless Paul – long journey and hard… almost died God had mercy on him and healed him. Epaphroditus almost died because he risked his life to serve Paul.*****
1 Timothy 5:22-25 Be careful not to blow up sinfulness- by appointing unqualified men into church leadership*** The men will be judged or sins follow them into the church – their sinfulness will become evident – so just wait..so church doesn’t suffer on account of their sinfulness
James 5:14-16 If sick call for elders to lay hands and anoint with oil in Jesus name. their prayer offered in faith will restore the sick one.
