**Discover how disobedience opens the door to the curse, as Joseph Z and Rick Renner continue to enlighten us on why Christians fall sick, and how we can rise above the curse through faith in Christ Jesus.**
Rick continues to identify factors that contribute to illness among Christians, particularly self-sabotage stemming from unforgiveness, anger, or strife. He explains that holding on to offense, anger, or bitterness can negatively affect us, breaking us down physically, spiritually, and mentally. He warns that our bodies are not equipped to handle prolonged stress, as it can ultimately lead to illness.

Rick highlights the beauty of agape love and how liberating it is compared to the other kinds of love. He also explains how disobedience opens the door to the curse, while emphasizing that the devil can afflict us even when we’re doing everything right, because it triggers him and he seeks ways to stop us.
He further cites Isaiah 53:5, which reminds us that Christ was wounded for our transgressions and crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was laid upon Him, and by His wounds, we are healed. He emphasizes that this healing refers to physical healing, not spiritual healing, urging us to align our beliefs correctly, as what we believe is what we receive.
