Psalm 91:14-16
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.

“Healing the Sick”
“The only
reason disease takes such a toll among Christians today is that many of them do
not believe what God has spoken. They
know that God said “I am the Lord that healeth thee”, but somehow they have
failed to believe that He meant what He said and therefore, have changed His I
am to I was.”

14 Hebrew and Greek Words
That Refer to Bodily Healing[2]
7. Therapeuo
English Words: Heal, Healing
Usage Number: A-1
Part of Speech: Verb
Strong's Number: 2323
Greek Word: therapeuo
Usage Notes: primarily signifies "to serve as a
therapon, and attendant;" then, "to care for the sick, to treat,
cure, heal" (Eng., "therapeutics"). It is chiefly used in
Matthew and Luke, once in John (John 5:10), and, after the Acts, only Rev.
13:3, 12. [3]
This word “Therapeu ” was used so much
by Luke, because Luke was a Greek Physician( he was a proselyte to the Jewish faith and became part of the
Messianic Community as one of Yeshua’s Apostles/Messengers), so he used medical
terms to describe Yeshua’s healing ministry.
Yeshua ministered healing to “ALL” who
were sick and oppressed. The only time
He could not heal all, was in His own town because of their UNBELIEF in His Messianic
Ministry, because Faith, based upon His Torah/Word and His Promises to us is the Key to receiving healing.
1 And he went out from thence, and came
into his own country; and his disciples follow him.
2 And when the sabbath day was come, he
began to teach in the synagogue: and many hearing him were astonished,
saying, From whence hath this man these things? and what wisdom is
this which is given unto him, that even such mighty works are wrought by his
hands?
3 Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary,
the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his
sisters here with us? And they were offended at him.
4 But Jesus said unto them, A prophet
is not without honour, but in his own country, and among his own kin, and in
his own house.
5 And he could there do no mighty work,
save that he laid his hands upon a few sick folk, and healed them.
6 And he marvelled because of their
unbelief. And he went round about the villages, teaching.
Mark 6:1-6 (KJV)
Yeshua is still healing the sick today
through His Body, the Congregation of Jesus Christ/Yeshua the Messiah, the
Annointed One. He is the head, we are
His hands, His Body, that He uses to send forth His healing power to those who
are sick, wounded and have need of a Physician.

1 And he entered again into the
synagogue; and there was a man there which had a withered hand.
2 And they watched him, whether he
would heal him on the sabbath day; that they might accuse him.
3 And he saith unto the man which had the
withered hand, Stand forth.
4 And he saith unto them, Is it lawful
to do good on the sabbath days, or to do evil? to save life, or to kill?
But they held their peace.
5 And when he had looked round about on
them with anger, being grieved for the hardness of their hearts, he saith unto
the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it out: and his
hand was restored whole as the other.
Mark 3:1-5 (KJV)
34 And he healed many that were sick of divers
diseases, and cast out many devils; and suffered not the devils to speak,
because they knew him.
Mark 1:34 (KJV)
10 For he had healed many; insomuch that they pressed upon him
for to touch him, as many as had plagues.
Mark 3:10 (KJV)
40 Now when the sun was setting, all they
that had any sick with divers diseases brought them unto him; and he laid his
hands on every one of them, and healed them.
Luke 4:40 (KJV)
15 But so much the more went there a fame
abroad of him: and great multitudes came together to hear, and to be healed
by him of their infirmities.
Luke 5:15 (KJV)
18 And they that were vexed with unclean
spirits: and they were healed.
Luke 6:18 (KJV)
6 And they departed, and went through the
towns, preaching the gospel, and healing every where.
7 Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all
that was done by him: and he was perplexed, because that it was said of some,
that John was risen from the dead;
8 And of some, that Elias had appeared;
and of others, that one of the old prophets was risen again.
9 And Herod said, John have I beheaded:
but who is this, of whom I hear such things? And he desired to see him.
10 And the apostles, when they were
returned, told him all that they had done. And he took them, and went aside
privately into a desert place belonging to the city called Bethsaida.
11 And the people, when they knew it,
followed him: and he received them, and spake unto them of the kingdom of
God, and healed them that had need of healing.
Luke 9:6-11 (KJV)
Here Yeshua confirms, that healing is
in the Covenant. He states that ‘ought not this woman, being a daughter
of Abraham, whom Satan has bound (NOT GOD!) lo these 18 years, be loosed from this
bond on the Sabbath day?
11 And, behold, there was a woman which
had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and could in
no wise lift up herself.
12 And when Jesus saw her, he called her
to him, and said unto her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity.
13 And he laid his hands on her:
and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God.
14 And the ruler of the synagogue answered
with indignation, because that Jesus had healed on the sabbath day, and said
unto the people, There are six days in which men ought to work: in them
therefore come and be healed, and not on the sabbath day.
15 The Lord then answered him, and said, Thou
hypocrite, doth not each one of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his
ass from the stall, and lead him away to watering?
16 And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan
hath bound, lo,
these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day?
17 And when he had said these things, all
his adversaries were ashamed: and all the people rejoiced for all the
glorious things that were done by him.
Luke 13:11-17 (KJV)
They knew that as God’s
covenant people, healing belonged to them as part of their Covenant blessings,
and to forbid Yeshua to heal this daughter of Abraham, was to be deny what the
Torah promised, healing to those who were the seed of Abraham. They were ashamed, because they knew what
Yeshua said was based on the Covenant of Abraham and the Mosaic Covenant in the
Torah, and they could not argue against the Word of God. Healing is in the
Covenants and belongs to His Covenant people, it is a part of the blessings of
Abraham and If you are a believer in Messiah that means that the Brit
Birket/Covenant Blessing of healing belongs to YOU too!
This is the Promise made to God’s people,
to those who walk in obedience to His
Torah/Word and have placed their faith and trust in the shed blood of
Yeshua/Jesus. This promise finds its fulfillment in Messiah, because we are in
Messiah/Christ these blessings apply to us as his Redeemed people, The
Messianic Jewish believer and Messianic Israel believer (former Gentiles, who
are Gentiles no longer because you have been Grafted Into the Olive Tree of
Israel because of your faith in Messiah).
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.
7 The LORD shall cause thine enemies that
rise up against thee to be smitten before thy face: they shall come out against
thee one way, and flee before thee seven ways.
8 The LORD shall command the blessing
upon thee in thy storehouses, and in all that thou settest thine hand unto; and
he shall bless thee in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
9 The LORD shall establish thee an holy
people unto himself, as he hath sworn unto thee, if thou shalt keep the
commandments of the LORD thy God, and walk in his ways.
10 And all people of the earth shall see
that thou art called by the name of the LORD; and they shall be afraid of thee.
11 And the LORD shall make thee plenteous
in goods, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the
fruit of thy ground, in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers to give
thee.
12 The LORD shall open unto thee his good
treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless
all the work of thine hand: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, and thou
shalt not borrow.
13 And the LORD shall make thee the head,
and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath;
if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the LORD thy God, which I command
thee this day, to observe and to do them:
14 And thou shalt not go aside from any of
the words which I command thee this day, to the right hand, or to
the left, to go after other gods to serve them.
Deut 28:1-14 (KJV)
Healing and deliverance bring joy and
glory to Yahweh, not sickness and disease.
Yeshua came to teach the Torah correctly and He ministered within the Covenant of Abraham and the
people rejoiced because they were seeing the Covenant promises being fulfilled
through Yeshua in their midst and were hearing the Good News of Yahweh’s love
for them!
14 And Jesus returned in the power of the
Spirit into Galilee: and there went out a fame of him through all the region
round about.
15 And he taught in their synagogues,
being glorified of all.
16 And he came to Nazareth, where he had
been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the
sabbath day, and stood up for to read.
17 And there was delivered unto him the
book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place
where it was written,
18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath
anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the
brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight
to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,
19 To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.
20 And he closed the book, and he gave it
again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the
synagogue were fastened on him.
21 And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in
your ears.
Luke 4:14-21 (KJV)
The living Torah, full of the Ruach
HaKodesh came to minister healing and deliverance and He is still doing it
today! Don’t swallow that lie that ha
satan has told believer’s in Messiah over the years, that miracles and healing have been done away
with, because he is a lier! God’s covenant
of healing is still active, because His Covenants are still active. People need to know that God loves them and
wants them well just as much today as they did when Yeshua walked in Israel! Because the Body of Messiah has lost sight
of their Hebraice/Jewish Roots in Messiah, they have lost sight of His Covenant
promises also. Healing is in the
Covenants, study the scriptures and renew your thinking to believe the
Torah/Word of Yahweh! Yeshua is the
same Yesterday, Today and Forever.
Yahweh never changes and His promises in His Torah/Word are everlasting!
This ministry of healing operated
through the apostles and is still operating in the Congregation of Messiah
today and Yahweh wants to use you also to bring healing and deliverance in THE
NAME OF YESHUA!
14 Afterward he appeared unto the eleven
as they sat at meat, and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of
heart, because they believed not them which had seen him after he was risen.
15 And he said unto them, Go ye into
all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
16 He that believeth and is baptized shall
be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
17 And these signs shall follow them that
believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new
tongues;
18 They shall take up serpents; and if
they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on
the sick, and they shall recover.
19 So then after the Lord had spoken unto
them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.
20 And they went forth, and preached every
where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs
following. Amen.
Mark 16:14-20 (KJV)
16 Then the eleven disciples went away
into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them.
17 And when they saw him, they worshipped
him: but some doubted.
18 And Jesus came and spake unto them,
saying, All power is
given unto me in heaven and in earth.
19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name
of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
20 Teaching them to observe all things
whatsoever I have commanded you: and,
lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
Matt 28:16-20 (KJV)
39 Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and
see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.
40 And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them his hands and his
feet.
41 And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said
unto them, Have ye here any meat?
42 And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb.
43 And he took it, and did eat before them.
44 And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake
unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which
were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the
psalms, concerning me.
45 Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the
scriptures,
46 And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ
to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:
47 And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in
his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
48 And ye are witnesses of these things.
49 And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry
ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.
50 And he led them out as far as to Bethany, and he lifted up his
hands, and blessed them.
51 And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from
them, and carried up into heaven.
52 And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy:
53 And were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God.
Amen.
Luke 24:39-53 (KJV)
As Yeshua was endued with the
Power of the Ruach HaKodesh, we also must be endued with power from the Ruach
HaKodesh in order to do what He commanded us to do – Preach the Good News,
Minister Healing and bring deliverance
In His Name so that He may be glorified among the Nations! The apostles obeyed, shouldn’t we do the
same, did not Yeshua tell us to obey His instructions? Selah
12 And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders
wrought among the people; (and they were all with one accord in Solomon's
porch.
13 And of the rest durst no man join himself to them: but the people
magnified them.
14 And believers were the more added to the Lord, multitudes both of
men and women.)
15 Insomuch that they brought forth the sick into the streets, and
laid them on beds and couches, that at the least the shadow of Peter
passing by might overshadow some of them.
16 There came also a multitude out of the cities round about
unto Jerusalem, bringing sick folks, and them which were vexed with unclean
spirits: and they were healed every one.
Acts 5:12-16 (KJV)
5 Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and preached
Christ unto them.
6 And the people with one accord gave heed unto those things which
Philip spake, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did.
7 For unclean spirits, crying with loud voice, came out of many that
were possessed with them: and many taken with palsies, and that were
lame, were healed.
8 And there was great joy in that city.
Acts 8:5-8 (KJV)
His
healing power is also a witness to the lost who do not know the Love of
Messiah.
1 And when they were escaped, then they knew that the island was
called Melita.
2 And the barbarous people shewed us no little kindness: for they
kindled a fire, and received us every one, because of the present rain, and
because of the cold.
3 And when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks, and laid them
on the fire, there came a viper out of the heat, and fastened on his hand.
4 And when the barbarians saw the venomous beast hang on his
hand, they said among themselves, No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though
he hath escaped the sea, yet vengeance suffereth not to live.
5 And he shook off the beast into the fire, and felt no harm.
6 Howbeit they looked when he should have swollen, or fallen down
dead suddenly: but after they had looked a great while, and saw no harm come to
him, they changed their minds, and said that he was a god.
7 In the same quarters were possessions of the chief man of the
island, whose name was Publius; who received us, and lodged us three days
courteously.
8 And it came to pass, that the father of Publius lay sick of a
fever and of a bloody flux: to whom Paul entered in, and prayed, and laid his
hands on him, and healed him.
9 So when this was done, others also, which had diseases in the
island, came, and were healed:
Acts 28:1-9 (KJV)
2. Cure Matt 17:16
Luke
9:1
14 And when they were come to the multitude, there came to him a certain
man, kneeling down to him, and saying,
15 Lord, have mercy on my son: for he is lunatick, and sore vexed:
for ofttimes he falleth into the fire, and oft into the water.
16 And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not cure him.
17 Then Jesus answered and said, O faithless and perverse generation,
how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him hither to
me.
18 And Jesus rebuked the devil; and he departed out of him: and the
child was cured from that very hour.
19 Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could not
we cast him out?
20 And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I
say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto
this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing
shall be impossible unto you.
21 Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.
Matt 17:14-21 (KJV)
1 Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power
and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases.
2 And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the
sick.
Luke 9:1-2 (KJV)
3.Cured Luke 7:21
John
5:10
19 And John calling unto him two of his disciples sent them
to Jesus, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another?
20 When the men were come unto him, they said, John Baptist hath sent
us unto thee, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another?
21 And in that same hour he cured many of their infirmities
and plagues, and of evil spirits; and unto many that were blind he gave
sight.
22 Then Jesus answering said unto them, Go your way, and tell John
what things ye have seen and heard; how that the blind see, the lame walk, the
lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, to the poor the gospel
is preached.
23 And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in me.
Luke 7:19-23 (KJV)
5 And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and
eight years.
6 When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in
that case, he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole?
7 The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water
is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth
down before me.
8 Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.
9 And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and
walked: and on the same day was the sabbath.
10 The Jews therefore said unto him that was cured, It is the sabbath
day: it is not lawful for thee to carry thy bed.
11 He answered them, He that made me whole, the same said unto me,
Take up thy bed, and walk.
12 Then asked they him, What man is that which said unto thee, Take
up thy bed, and walk?
13 And he that was healed wist not who it was: for Jesus had conveyed
himself away, a multitude being in that place.
14 Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him,
Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee.
15 The man departed, and told the Jews that it was Jesus, which had made him
whole.
John 5:5-15 (KJV)

recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,
19 To preach
the acceptable year of the Lord.
