Quote Of The Day:

 

T.L. Osborn “Healing the Sick”

 

“Once people are fully convinced that God wants to heal them and that it is not Gods will for them to be sick, they almost always receive healing when prayed for, if not before.  Knowing this provides a ground on which perfect faith can act.”

26 Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day that the LORD bindeth up the breach of his people, and healeth the stroke of their wound.

  Isaiah 30:26 (KJV)

 

1 The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;

2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;

3 To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.

  Isaiah 61:1-3 (KJV)

 

16 I will seek that which was lost, and bring again that which was driven away, and will bind up that which was broken, and will strengthen that which was sick: but I will destroy the fat and the strong; I will feed them with judgment.

6. Rafooth

 

            F. The Hebrew word RAFOOTH means health –

 

                        Prov 3:8

 

8 It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.

  Prov 3:8 (KJV)

 

Yeshua is Our Redeemer, Our Atonement for our sins and sicknesses

 

11 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

12 When thou takest the sum of the children of Israel after their number, then shall they give every man a ransom for his soul unto the LORD, when thou numberest them; that there be no plague among them, when thou numberest them.

13 This they shall give, every one that passeth among them that are numbered, half a shekel after the shekel of the sanctuary: (a shekel is twenty gerahs:) an half shekel shall be the offering of the LORD.

14 Every one that passeth among them that are numbered, from twenty years old and above, shall give an offering unto the LORD.

15 The rich shall not give more, and the poor shall not give less than half a shekel, when they give an offering unto the LORD, to make an atonement for your souls.

16 And thou shalt take the atonement money of the children of Israel, and shalt appoint it for the service of the tabernacle of the congregation; that it may be a memorial unto the children of Israel before the LORD, to make an atonement for your souls.

  Ex 30:11-16 (KJV)

 

Notes from Dakes Study Bible regarding the above verse

 

The money did not actually redeem the soul, not even the blood of bulls and other animals did that (Hebrews 10:4, 1 Peter 1:19-23) but rather faith in the blood of the coming Redeemer of which the blood of sacrifice was a type.  The equal amount of payment of registration tax, for rich and poor alike only indicated that in matters of atonement, there is no difference among men (Acts 10:34-35, Romans 3:22-35, 10:9-14). 

 

How much Money you have or status in life has nothing to do with whether or not you receive healing, for God is no respecter of persons.

 

The Hebrew word “nephesh”, translated soul and souls, should be translated, life and lives from death in a plaque.  The half shekel was a token of obedience and recognition of God’s protection from plague and death, because of obedience to God and the Torah/His instructions.  If disobedience to the Torah/Instructions and God  there was manifest many plagues that were pronounced upon the people (Lev.26, Deut. 28).  Money had nothing to do with salvation of the soul from sin or making atonement for forgiveness of sins, so the ransom and atonement here concern physical, not spiritual life.  The blood alone makes atonement for the soul and its sin (Leviticus 17:11, Matthew 26:28, Hebrews 9:11-12, 10:1-23, 1 John 1:7)

 

God again emphasized the close relationship of sin and sickness, showing obedience, forgiveness and healing to be His complete remedy for such.

 

In Yeshua is found atonement, forgiveness, healing and Redemption

 

Lev. 26, Deut. 7:12-15, 28:1-6, Psalm 91, 103:3, Proverbs 3:5-8, Isaiah 6:10, 53:1-5, 58:5-14, Matthew 8:17, John 10:10, 1 Peter 2:24, James 5:14

 

Please look up the above scriptures, that are not noted below.  What does the above tell us?  Healing is found within the Torah and Covenants of the Holy one of Israel, Yahweh.  Yeshua Ha Mashiach/Jesus the Messiah made atonement for our sins, by His blood, therefore redeeming us completely, from sin, sickness and disease (including plaques). 

 

12 Wherefore it shall come to pass, if ye hearken to these judgments, and keep, and do them, that the LORD thy God shall keep unto thee the covenant and the mercy which he sware unto thy fathers:

13 And he will love thee, and bless thee, and multiply thee: he will also bless the fruit of thy womb, and the fruit of thy land, thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep, in the land which he sware unto thy fathers to give thee.

14 Thou shalt be blessed above all people: there shall not be male or female barren among you, or among your cattle.

15 And the LORD will take away from thee all sickness, and will put none of the evil diseases of Egypt, which thou knowest, upon thee; but will lay them upon all them that hate thee.

  Deut 7:12-15 (KJV)

 

1 And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth:

2 And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God.

3 Blessed shalt thou be in the city, and blessed shalt thou be in the field.

4 Blessed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy ground, and the fruit of thy cattle, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep.

5 Blessed shall be thy basket and thy store.

6 Blessed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and blessed shalt thou be when thou goest out.

  Deut 28:1-6 (KJV)

 

1 Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.

2 Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:

3 Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases;

  Psalms 103:1-3 (KJV)

 

5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

7 Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.

8 It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones.

9 Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase:

  Prov 3:5-9 (KJV)

 

1 Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed?

2 For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.

3 He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.

 4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.

5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.

  Isaiah 53:1-5 (KJV)

 

17 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses.

  Matt 8:17 (KJV)

 

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.

  John 10:10 (KJV)

 

24 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.

  1 Peter 2:24 (KJV)

 

13 Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let him sing psalms.

14 Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:

15 And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.

16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

  James 5:13-16 (KJV)

 

Yahweh is the same, yesterday, today and forever.   Healing has always been His will for His people Israel.  It was one of the things that set them apart as His people.  When those around them were dying of plaques and diseases, Yahweh kept His people healthy, strong and prosperous when they obeyed His Torah/Instructions.   How much more do these promises hold true for us who have put our faith in Yeshua Ha Mashicah/Jesus the Messiah, the Living Torah, The Lamb of God, The Redeemer of Israel, who Redeemed us by His precious Blood!  Selah  (We will be doing a study of what it means to be “In Messiah/Christ” later.)
