Objection: We Should Not Complain When Evil Proceeds from the Mouth of the Lord Because of Our Sins (Lamentations 3:38-39)

Lamentations 3:38-39:
Out of the mouth of the most High proceedeth not evil and good?
Wherefore doth a living man complain, a man for the punishment of his sins?

This objection assumes that we are still under the Old Covenant – before Jesus was punished for our sins!  God has no interest in punishing you for the very same sins that He already punished Jesus for.  The whole point of what Jesus did was to spare you punishment for your sins.  So if you believe in Him, your sins are already counted as punished, so the mouth of the Most High will have GOOD proceed from it to you, not evil.

Catching the flu is NOT God’s punishment for your sins.  God already laid on Jesus the sicknesses (which are evil) that you deserved for your sins.  That punishment was taken care of.  Now sickness is an ILLEGAL attempt by Satan to make mankind pay a debt that Jesus already paid.

The devil tries to taunt sick people with the idea, “You had it coming!”  So agree with him that you DID have it coming, but then declare that IT IS WRITTEN that Jesus took the punishment that you had coming so that you could have peace (Hebrew shalom), which includes the idea of physical wellness.
