25 And ye shall serve the LORD your God,
and he shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from
the midst of thee.

nor be barren, in thy land: the number of thy days I will fulfil.
Quote Of The Day:
F.F.
Bosworth – “Christ The Healer”
“The prayer
of faith” which heals the sick is to follow (not preceed) the planting of the
“seed” (the Word) upon which alone faith is based.”
Deborah’s Drash Commentary:
Healing – Our Brit
Birket/Covenant Blessing
14 Hebrew and Greek Words
That Refer to Bodily Healing[2]
The foundation for healing is found in the Torah and Yeshua comfirms
the Torah by healing the sick in His ministry and today. God is the same, yesterday, today and
forever, He never changes and His will never changes because His will is His
Torah/Word.
It is important that you study these verses in context, but you will
see as we study what the Torah/Word says about healing and that Yahweh is our
healer. Health and restoration are always associated with Gods blessings.
Sickness and disease is not Yahweh’s will for us – health and restoration
brings glory to God. Yeshua said that
ha satan comes to steal, kill and destroy but He came that we may have life
more abundantly.
As we see what the Torah/Word says, let faith arise in your heart for
healing, because you have been redeemed by the blood of Yeshua and healing
belongs to the redeemed of Adonai.
Whenever God forgave, healing came in every area of Israel’s
life. Sin, rebellion and disobedience
opened the door for judgment and sickness to come in, but when Israel repented,
healing and restoration returned.
Deuteronomy 28
If you are In Messiah/Christ then you have been forgiven and healing
belongs to you as part of the Brit Hadasha/The New Covenant of Birket/Blessing.
You may be thinking, then why is not everyone healed that belongs to
God. That is between them and Yahweh,
the secret things belong to the Lord.
Maybe they just wanted to go home to be with Him, maybe they did not
know that healing was a part of their covenant, it is not for us to judge or
figure out why someone did not get healed on this earth, we rejoice because
they are in heaven and at rest. I just
know that the Word of God is true and this issue of healing must be settled in
each persons heart individually. Faith
comes by hearing and hearing by the Torah/Word of God.
So lets just begin to study and see what His Torah/Word has to say to
us regarding healing.
YHWH Rapha is one of the covenant names of Yahweh. Rapha means bodily healing.
I. 14 Hebrew
& Greek words that refer to bodily healing
A. The Hebrew word RAPHA is
translated

Here Yahweh promises Judah and Israel that he will bring healing along
with restoration.

unto them the abundance of peace and truth.
7 And I
will cause the captivity of Judah and the captivity of Israel to return, and
will build them, as at the first.
Jer 33:6-7
(KJV)
2. make whole - Job 5:18
17 Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth: therefore despise not
thou the chastening of the Almighty:
18 For he maketh sore, and bindeth up: he woundeth, and his hands make
whole.
19 He shall deliver thee in six troubles: yea, in seven there shall no
evil touch thee.
20 In famine he shall redeem thee from death: and in war from the power
of the sword.
21 Thou shalt be hid from the scourge of the tongue: neither shalt thou
be afraid of destruction when it cometh.
22 At destruction and famine thou shalt laugh: neither shalt thou be
afraid of the beasts of the earth.
23 For thou shalt be in league with the stones of the field: and the
beasts of the field shall be at peace with thee.
24 And thou shalt know that thy tabernacle shall be in peace; and thou
shalt visit thy habitation, and shalt not sin.
25 Thou shalt know also that thy seed shall be great, and thine offspring
as the grass of the earth.
26 Thou shalt come to thy grave in a full age, like as a shock of corn
cometh in in his season.
27 Lo this, we have searched it, so it is; hear it, and know thou it for
thy good.

sinned.

consumed when he cometh out of his mother's womb.
13 And Moses cried unto the LORD, saying, Heal her now, O
God, I beseech thee.

in her face, should she not be ashamed seven days? let her be shut out from the
camp seven days, and after that let her be received in again.

people journeyed not till Miriam was brought in again.

Deut 32:39 (KJV)
5 Turn again, and tell Hezekiah the captain of my people,

have seen thy tears: behold, I will heal thee: on the third day thou shalt
go up unto the house of the LORD.

deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria; and I will
defend this city for mine own sake, and for my servant David's sake.

laid it on the boil, and he recovered.

LORD the third day?

that the LORD will do the thing that he hath spoken: shall the shadow go
forward ten degrees, or go back ten degrees?
10 And Hezekiah answered, It is a light thing for the shadow
to go down ten degrees: nay, but let the shadow return backward ten degrees.

2 Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel,
prophesy, and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD unto the shepherds; Woe
be to the shepherds of Israel that do feed themselves! should not the
shepherds feed the flocks?
3 Ye eat the fat, and ye clothe you with the wool, ye kill
them that are fed: but ye feed not the flock.
4 The diseased have ye not strengthened,
neither have ye healed that which was sick, neither have ye bound up that which was

ye sought that which was lost; but with force and with cruelty have ye ruled
them.

not her king in her? Why have they provoked me to anger with their graven
images, and with strange vanities?
20 The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not
saved.
21 For the hurt of the daughter of my people am I hurt; I am

physician there? why then is not the health of the daughter of my people
recovered?
