1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

2 I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.

3 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.

4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.

5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;

6 Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.

7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.

8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.

 9 Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;

10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.

11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.

12 They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.

13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.

14 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.

15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.

16 With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.

  Psalms 91:1-16 (KJV)

 

 

*Note:  the entire 91st Psalm teaches perfect healing and health physically so the salvation of v. 16 includes the body as well as the soul.

 

This Word Yehshuwah is the name of our Messiah – Yeshua/Jesus- He is The Healer, The Deliverer, Our Salvation.  When He walked among men, He healed all those who were sick and oppressed by the devil.   He still walks among men, through the lives of His Chosen Ones, you and me, who call Him Adonai/Lord and Savior.   Because He is in us, that same healing power flows from our lives to the lives of others, for He is the Great Physician who lives and abides forever.

 

12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.

13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.

  John 14:12-14 (KJV)

 

We are to go forth and do what Yeshua did, heal the sick.   He said ‘the works that I do shall he do also” .  Who is He talking about?  Those that believe in Him and have been grafted into Him.   God still has a covenant of healing with Israel, if you belong to Messiah, then you belong to Israel and all the promises that were promised Israel belong to you because you have been grafted into the Olive Tree and the Covenant of Israel.  Messianic Jew and Messianic Israel/former Gentiles, now one in Messiah.  All of Israel has a Brit Birket/Covenant of Healing with the Holy one of Israel through Yeshua Ha Mashiach/Jesus the Messiah.

 

Messiah redeemed us from every curse that is listed under Deuteronomy 28: 15-68.  Whatever is listed under the Curses you have been redeemed from through the shed blood of Messiah!  Read the list and declare with boldness that the Living Torah carried your sicknesses and your infirmities and by His Stripes you have been healed.

 

If you are In Messiah, then you have been redeemed from the curse of sickness and disease.  Let faith arise in you heart and rejoice for what Messiah has done for you.  Do not let the enemy steal health from you any longer!  You salvation came at a great price,  The shed blood of Messiah, our Passover Lamb.

 

We are living under the best Covenant ever, the reNewed Covenant of Messiah.  All of the previous covenants (which were progressive in Gods revelation of His redemptive plan for man) led up to this New Covenant/ or Renewed Covenant with Israel.   Now all the blessings found in His Word, the Torah, Prophets and writings  and the Brit Hadasha, are all Yea and amen in Messiah. God made away for us to be accepted in His sight, He sent His only begotten Son to be our scapegoat.  He carried our sins away on the execution stake/cross, so we can walk in the blessings of Abraham.

 

3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:

4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:

5 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,

6 To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.

7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;

8 Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence;

9 Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:

10 That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:

11 In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:

12 That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.

13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,

14 Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.

15 Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints,

16 Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers;

17 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him:

18 The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,

19 And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power,

20 Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places,

21 Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:

22 And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church,

23 Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.

  Eph 1:3-23 (KJV)

 

Sickness and disease are a part of the “All Things” that are under His feet.   The Living Torah Yeshua, showed us what the Father’s will was- “He healed the sick and ALL that were oppressed by the devil”. Why? Because they had a covenant with God,  and He came and confirmed that Covenant with Israel and said “Come Unto me ALL who are heavy laden and I will give you rest”.  That rest is for ALL who call upon Hashem.   That rest is peace and soundness of mind and body.   In His Kingdom, sickness and disease has no place.  If it was not Yahweh’s will to heal, then Yeshua was being disobedient to Yahweh by healing the sick and disobedience is sin.   Since Yeshua was sinless, and walked in perfect obedience to the Torah, then health and wholeness is the will of Yahweh, and Yeshua said He came to do the Fathers will.

 

36 But I have greater witness than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me.

   John 5:36  (KJV)

 

36 But I have greater witness than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me.

37 And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.

38 And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not.

39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.

40 And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.

41 I receive not honour from men.

42 But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you.

43 I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.

44 How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only?

45 Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuseth you, even Moses, in whom ye trust.

46 For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me.

47 But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?

  John 5:36-47 (KJV)

 

 1 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.

2 But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.

3 To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.

4 And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.

5 And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.

6 This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them.

7 Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.

8 All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.

9 I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.

10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

11 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.

12 But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep.

13 The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep.

14 I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.

15 As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.

16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.

17 Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again.

18 No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father.

19 There was a division therefore again among the Jews for these sayings.

20 And many of them said, He hath a devil, and is mad; why hear ye him?

21 Others said, These are not the words of him that hath a devil. Can a devil open the eyes of the blind?

22 And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter.

23 And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon's porch.

24 Then came the Jews round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou make us to doubt? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly.

25 Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me.

26 But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.

27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:

28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.

29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.

30 I and my Father are one.

31 Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him.

32 Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me?

33 The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.

34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?

35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken;

36 Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?

37 If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not.

38 But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him.

  John 10:1-38 (KJV)

 

 

When we pray Ha Shem Yeshua, He is there to Honor that Name that is above all names.  In The Name/HaShem of Yeshua/Jesus  all sickness must bow its knees and go!  “Whatever you ask in my name, that will I do”.  He said it, to deny this is to deny His name. 

 

13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.

 

If sickness and disease is a result of sin because of the first Adam, then how much more is healing and deliverance the result of salvation and forgiveness found in Messiah, the second and perfect Adam who came to “Take away the sins of the World.”

 

Salvation, Healing and Deliverance bring Glory to Adonai, not sickness, disease and bondage.
