Yahweh Forgives The Sins Of Those He Heals
James 5:13-15 reads,
5:13
Is any among you suffering? Let him pray. Is any cheerful? Let him sing praises. 5:14Is any among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the assembly, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord, 5:15and the prayer of faith will heal him who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up. If he has committed sins, it will be forgiven him. 5:16Confess your offenses one to another, and pray one for another, that you may be healed. The effective, earnest prayer of a righteous man is powerfully effective. 5:17Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain, and it didn’t rain on the earth for three years and six months. 5:18He prayed again, and the sky gave rain, and the earth brought forth its fruit.James' teaching is consistent with Yah'shuah's teaching. For Yah'shuah not only healed a sick man, but also forgave him his sins, thereby showing that healing and forgiveness of sins go together. Yah'shuah also showed that sickness is brought about by sin, and warned a man he had healed not to so sin again, lest a worse fate befall him. These are all consistent with what was seen earlier on in Yahweh's experience with the children of Israel. It is therefore indeed the case that those whom Yahweh heals he forgives their sins that brought about the condition he just healed them from.
Yah'shuah's Sacrificial Acts Facilitating Our Forgiveness And Healing
1 Peter 2:18-25 reads,
2:18
Servants, be in subjection to your masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the wicked. 2:19For it is commendable if someone endures pain, suffering unjustly, because of conscience toward God. 2:20For what glory is it, if, when you sin, you patiently endure beating? But if, when you do well, you patiently endure suffering, this is commendable with God. 2:21For to this were you called, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that you should follow his steps, 2:22who did not sin, "neither was deceit found in his mouth." 2:23Who, when he was reviled, didn’t revile back. When he suffered, didn’t threaten, but committed himself to him who judges righteously; 2:24who his own self bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live to righteousness; by whose stripes you were healed. 2:25For you were going astray like sheep; but are now returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.It should be noted that Yah'shuah received punishment and wounding as authorised by Yahweh. Now, we saw that those Yahweh wounds and punishes he does so on account of their sins. But Yah'shuah had no sin. He was wounded and punished on our behalf, because we have sinned. In other words, Yah'shuah took upon himself our wounding and punishment, to facilitate Yahweh forgiving us our sins and thereby healing us. Yah'shuah's sacrificial act was done out of his love for us and also for Yahweh's desire to save us. Halleluyah!
Herbal Medicine Is Appropriate For Humans
Revelation 22:1-2 reads,
22:1
He showed me a river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb, 22:2in the midst of its street. On this side of the river and on that was the tree of life, bearing twelve kinds of fruits, yielding its fruit every month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.The leaves of the tree of life are for the healing of the nations. This implies that herbal medicine is indeed appropriate for humans, and that it is not inappropriate for humans to partake of herbal medicine.
Listen To Yahweh's Voice For Your Good Health
Exodus 23:20-26 reads,
23:20
"Behold, I send an angel before you, to keep you by the way, and to bring you into the place which I have prepared. 23:21Pay attention to him, and listen to his voice. Don’t provoke him, for he will not pardon your disobedience, for my name is in him. 23:22But if you indeed listen to his voice, and do all that I speak, then I will be an enemy to your enemies, and an adversary to your adversaries. 23:23For my angel shall go before you, and bring you in to the Amorite, the Hittite, the Perizzite, the Canaanite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite; and I will cut them off. 23:24You shall not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor follow their practices, but you shall utterly overthrow them and demolish their pillars. 23:25You shall serve Yahweh your God, and he will bless your bread and your water, and I will take sickness away from your midst. 23:26No one will miscarry or be barren in your land. I will fulfill the number of your days.The key to good health and long life is to listen to Yahweh's voice. For when we listen to Yahweh's voice, serving him faithfully and not partaking of idolatry, he removes sickness from our midst. In other words, he heals us. He also ensures that loss of life such as through miscarriage doesn't take place, giving us the fruit of our bodies. We should therefore listen to Yahweh's voice, faithfully serve him, and reap his blessings of good health and long life.
Abide By Yahweh's Word And Love Those Who Serve Him
Deuteronomy 7:9-15 reads,
7:9
Know therefore that Yahweh your God, he is God, the faithful God, who keeps covenant and lovingkindness with them who love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations, 7:10and repays those who hate him to their face, to destroy them: he will not be slack to him who hates him, he will repay him to his face. 7:11You shall therefore keep the commandment, and the statutes, and the ordinances, which I command you this day, to do them. 7:12It shall happen, because you listen to these ordinances, and keep and do them, that Yahweh your God will keep with you the covenant and the lovingkindness which he swore to your fathers: 7:13and he will love you, and bless you, and multiply you; he will also bless the fruit of your body and the fruit of your ground, your grain and your new wine and your oil, the increase of your cattle and the young of your flock, in the land which he swore to your fathers to give you. 7:14You shall be blessed above all peoples: there shall not be male or female barren among you, or among your cattle. 7:15Yahweh will take away from you all sickness; and none of the evil diseases of Egypt, which you know, will he put on you, but will lay them on all those who hate you.It is reiterated that the key to good health is to listen to Yahweh's voice, abiding by his commandments by keeping them and doing them. It should also be noted that Yahweh heals those who listen to his voice. On the other hand, he puts evil diseases upon those who hate those who abide by his word. Therefore, to ensure that are healthy, we should abide by Yahweh's word and love those who serve him.
Serve Yahweh And Forsake Idolatry To Avoid Sickness
Deuteronomy 29:14-28 reads,
29:14
Neither with you only do I make this covenant and this oath, 29:15but with him who stands here with us this day before Yahweh our God, and also with him who is not here with us this day 29:16(for you know how we lived in the land of Egypt, and how we came through the midst of the nations through which you passed; 29:17and you have seen their abominations, and their idols, wood and stone, silver and gold, which were among them); 29:18lest there should be among you man, or woman, or family, or tribe, whose heart turns away this day from Yahweh our God, to go to serve the gods of those nations; lest there should be among you a root that bears gall and wormwood; 29:19and it happen, when he hears the words of this curse, that he bless himself in his heart, saying, I shall have peace, though I walk in the stubbornness of my heart, to destroy the moist with the dry. 29:20Yahweh will not pardon him, but then the anger of Yahweh and his jealousy will smoke against that man, and all the curse that is written in this book shall lie on him, and Yahweh will blot out his name from under the sky. 29:21Yahweh will set him apart to evil out of all the tribes of Israel, according to all the curses of the covenant that is written in this book of the law. 29:22The generation to come, your children who shall rise up after you, and the foreigner who shall come from a far land, shall say, when they see the plagues of that land, and the sicknesses with which Yahweh has made it sick; 29:23and that the whole land of it is sulfur, and salt, and a burning, that it is not sown, nor bears, nor any grass grows therein, like the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboiim, which Yahweh overthrew in his anger, and in his wrath: 29:24even all the nations shall say, Why has Yahweh done thus to this land? What means the heat of this great anger? 29:25Then men shall say, Because they forsook the covenant of Yahweh, the God of their fathers, which he made with them when he brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, 29:26and went and served other gods, and worshiped them, gods that they didn’t know, and that he had not given to them: 29:27therefore the anger of Yahweh was kindled against this land, to bring on it all the curse that is written in this book; 29:28and Yahweh rooted them out of their land in anger, and in wrath, and in great indignation, and cast them into another land, as at this day.Sickness comes upon a people on account their stubbornness and rebellion against Yahweh's word. Therefore, to avoid sickness, we should diligently serve Yahweh and forsake idolatry. We should abide by Yahweh's word and voice.
Pray Facing Jerusalem That Yahweh May Forgive You And Heal You
1 Kings 8:37-40 reads,
8:37
If there be in the land famine, if there be pestilence, if there be blasting or mildew, locust or caterpillar; if their enemy besiege them in the land of their cities; whatever plague, whatever sickness there be; 8:38whatever prayer and supplication be made by any man, or by all your people Israel, who shall know every man the plague of his own heart, and spread forth his hands toward this house: 8:39then hear in heaven, your dwelling-place, and forgive, and do, and render to every man according to all his ways, whose heart you know; (for you, even you only, know the hearts of all the children of men;) 8:40that they may fear you all the days that they live in the land which you gave to our fathers.To aid in Yahweh forgiving us our sins resulting in our sickness we should pray toward Jerusalem. That Yahweh may both forgive us our sins and heal us of our sin-induced sickness.
1 Kings 17:17-24 reads,
17:17
It happened after these things, that the son of the woman, the mistress of the house, fell sick; and his sickness was so sore, that there was no breath left in him. 17:18She said to Elijah, What have I to do with you, you man of God? You are come to me to bring my sin to memory, and to kill my son! 17:19He said to her, Give me your son. He took him out of her bosom, and carried him up into the chamber, where he abode, and laid him on his own bed. 17:20He cried to Yahweh, and said, Yahweh my God, have you also brought evil on the widow with whom I sojourn, by killing her son? 17:21He stretched himself on the child three times, and cried to Yahweh, and said, Yahweh my God, please let this child’s soul come into him again. 17:22Yahweh listened to the voice of Elijah; and the soul of the child came into him again, and he revived. 17:23Elijah took the child, and brought him down out of the chamber into the house, and delivered him to his mother; and Elijah said, Behold, your son lives. 17:24The woman said to Elijah, Now I know that you are a man of God, and that the word of Yahweh in your mouth is truth.It should be noted that it is Yahweh who restored the life of the boy back to him again! In other words, it is Yahweh who kills, and it is Yahweh who makes alive. He killed the boy, and he made the boy live again. Praise be to Yahweh!
It should also be noted that Yahweh's restoration to life of the boy was a sign to the boy's mother, causing her to believe that Yahweh was indeed performing his works through Elijah. In other words, Yahweh's healing works are a witness from Yahweh to those who see these works, that they may indeed acknowledge Yahweh's works through his servants.
Diligently Return To Yahweh In Your Sickness That He May Heal You
2 Kings 1 reads,
1:1
Moab rebelled against Israel after the death of Ahab. 1:2Ahaziah fell down through the lattice in his upper chamber that was in Samaria, and was sick: and he sent messengers, and said to them, Go, inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron, whether I shall recover of this sickness.1:3
But the angel of Yahweh said to Elijah the Tishbite, Arise, go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria, and tell them, Is it because there is no God in Israel, that you go to inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron? 1:4Now therefore thus says Yahweh, You shall not come down from the bed where you are gone up, but shall surely die. Elijah departed.1:5
The messengers returned to him, and he said to them, Why is it that you have returned? 1:6They said to him, There came up a man to meet us, and said to us, Go, turn again to the king who sent you, and tell him, Thus says Yahweh, Is it because there is no God in Israel, that you send to inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron? Therefore you shall not come down from the bed where you are gone up, but shall surely die. 1:7He said to them, What manner of man was he who came up to meet you, and told you these words? 1:8They answered him, He was a hairy man, and girt with a belt of leather about his loins. He said, It is Elijah the Tishbite.1:9
Then the king sent to him a captain of fifty with his fifty. He went up to him: and, behold, he was sitting on the top of the hill. He spoke to him, man of God, the king has said, Come down. 1:10Elijah answered to the captain of fifty, If I be a man of God, let fire come down from the sky, and consume you and your fifty. Fire came down from the sky, and consumed him and his fifty. 1:11Again he sent to him another captain of fifty and his fifty. He answered him, man of God, thus has the king said, Come down quickly. 1:12Elijah answered them, If I be a man of God, let fire come down from the sky, and consume you and your fifty. The fire of God came down from the sky, and consumed him and his fifty. 1:13Again he sent the captain of a third fifty with his fifty. The third captain of fifty went up, and came and fell on his knees before Elijah, and begged him, and said to him, man of God, please let my life, and the life of these fifty your servants, be precious in your sight. 1:14Behold, fire came down from the sky, and consumed the two former captains of fifty with their fifties; but now let my life be precious in your sight. 1:15The angel of Yahweh said to Elijah, Go down with him: don’t be afraid of him. He arose, and went down with him to the king.1:16
He said to him, Thus says Yahweh, Because you have sent messengers to inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron, is it because there is no God in Israel to inquire of his word? Therefore you shall not come down from the bed where you are gone up, but shall surely die. 1:17So he died according to the word of Yahweh which Elijah had spoken. Jehoram began to reign in his place in the second year of Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah; because he had no son. 1:18Now the rest of the acts of Ahaziah which he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?The lesson of Ahaziah's life is instructive. When we are sick that is surely a time to return to Yahweh for pardon and healing. It is not a time to persist in idolatry, the very thing that brought about the sickness in the very first place. But if we persist in idolatry, not faithfully serving Yahweh, then the penalty that was decreed upon Ahaziah is also the same penalty that will be decreed upon us - death! In other words, to be healed of our sicknesses, we must indeed diligently seek Yahweh with all our heart and all our soul, repenting of our sins, confessing them, and seeking to do righteousness thereafter.
Yahweh Strikes With Incurable Diseases Those Who Commit Iniquity
2 Chronicles 21 reads,
21:1
Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David: and Jehoram his son reigned in his place. 21:2He had brothers, the sons of Jehoshaphat: Azariah, and Jehiel, and Zechariah, and Azariah, and Michael, and Shephatiah; all these were the sons of Jehoshaphat king of Israel. 21:3Their father gave them great gifts, of silver, and of gold, and of precious things, with fortified cities in Judah: but the kingdom gave he to Jehoram, because he was the firstborn.21:4
Now when Jehoram was risen up over the kingdom of his father, and had strengthened himself, he killed all his brothers with the sword, and various also of the princes of Israel. 21:5Jehoram was thirty-two years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem. 21:6He walked in the way of the kings of Israel, as did the house of Ahab; for he had the daughter of Ahab as wife: and he did that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh. 21:7However Yahweh would not destroy the house of David, because of the covenant that he had made with David, and as he promised to give a lamp to him and to his children always. 21:8In his days Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah, and made a king over themselves. 21:9Then Jehoram passed over with his captains, and all his chariots with him: and he rose up by night, and struck the Edomites who surrounded him, along with the captains of the chariots. 21:10So Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah to this day: then did Libnah revolt at the same time from under his hand, because he had forsaken Yahweh, the God of his fathers. 21:11Moreover he made high places in the mountains of Judah, and made the inhabitants of Jerusalem to play the prostitute, and led Judah astray.21:12
There came a writing to him from Elijah the prophet, saying, Thus says Yahweh, the God of David your father, Because you have not walked in the ways of Jehoshaphat your father, nor in the ways of Asa king of Judah, 21:13but have walked in the way of the kings of Israel, and have made Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to play the prostitute, like as the house of Ahab did, and also have slain your brothers of your father’s house, who were better than yourself: 21:14behold, Yahweh will strike with a great plague your people, and your children, and your wives, and all your substance; 21:15and you shall have great sickness by disease of your bowels, until your bowels fall out by reason of the sickness, day by day.21:16
Yahweh stirred up against Jehoram the spirit of the Philistines, and of the Arabians who are beside the Ethiopians: 21:17and they came up against Judah, and broke into it, and carried away all the substance that was found in the king’s house, and his sons also, and his wives; so that there was never a son left him, save Jehoahaz, the youngest of his sons. 21:18After all this Yahweh struck him in his bowels with an incurable disease. 21:19It happened, in process of time, at the end of two years, that his bowels fell out by reason of his sickness, and he died of sore diseases. His people made no burning for him, like the burning of his fathers. 21:20Thirty-two years old was he when he began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem eight years: and he departed without being desired; and they buried him in the city of David, but not in the tombs of the kings.Because of his iniquities, Yahweh struck Jehoram with an incurable disease that lead to a very slow, very painful and very miserable death! In other words, disease comes upon us on account of our sins. Therefore, to avoid disease coming upon us, we should faithfully abide by Yahweh's word. And, once disease has come upon us, we should return faithfully to Yahweh, seeking him with all our heart and soul. Seeing that Yahweh desires to heal, but does so only when we are walking in his will, he will indeed heal us of our disease.
Faithfully Serve Yahweh To Avoid Sickness
Isaiah 33:20-24 reads,
33:20
Look on Zion, the city of our solemnities: your eyes shall see Jerusalem a quiet habitation, a tent that shall not be removed, the stakes whereof shall never be plucked up, neither shall any of the cords of it be broken. 33:21But there Yahweh will be with us in majesty, a place of broad rivers and streams, in which shall go no galley with oars, neither shall gallant ship pass thereby. 33:22For Yahweh is our judge, Yahweh is our lawgiver, Yahweh is our king; he will save us. 33:23Your rigging is loosed; they could not strengthen the foot of their mast, they could not spread the sail: then was the prey of a great spoil divided; the lame took the prey. 33:24The inhabitant shall not say, I am sick: the people who dwell therein shall be forgiven their iniquity.When Yahweh will dwell in Zion, and the inhabitants of it will be walking in Yahweh's righteousness, he will forgive them their iniquity. From then on they won't be sick, on account of sin, seeing that Yahweh will have forgiven them their sins. It should therefore be clear that sin brings about sickness. To avoid sickness we should avoid sin, and faithfully serve Yahweh, abiding by his every word.
Ask Yahweh To Deliver You That You May Serve Him
Isaiah 38 reads,
38:1
In those days was Hezekiah sick to death. Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz came to him, and said to him, Thus says Yahweh, Set your house in order; for you shall die, and not live. 38:2Then Hezekiah turned his face to the wall, and prayed to Yahweh, 38:3and said, Remember now, Yahweh, I beg you, how I have walked before you in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in your sight. Hezekiah wept sore.38:4
Then came the word of Yahweh to Isaiah, saying, 38:5Go, and tell Hezekiah, Thus says Yahweh, the God of David your father, I have heard your prayer, I have seen your tears: behold, I will add to your days fifteen years. 38:6I will deliver you and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria; and I will defend this city. 38:7This shall be the sign to you from Yahweh, that Yahweh will do this thing that he has spoken: 38:8behold, I will cause the shadow on the steps, which is gone down on the dial of Ahaz with the sun, to return backward ten steps. So the sun returned ten steps on the dial whereon it was gone down.38:9
The writing of Hezekiah king of Judah, when he had been sick, and was recovered of his sickness.38:10
I said, In the noontide of my days I shall go into the gates of Sheol:I am deprived of the residue of my years.
38:11
I said, I shall not see Yah, Yah in the land of the living:I shall see man no more with the inhabitants of the world.
38:12
My dwelling is removed, and is carried away from me as a shepherd’s tent:I have rolled up, like a weaver, my life; he will cut me off from the loom:
From day even to night will you make an end of me.
38:13
I quieted myself until morning; as a lion, so he breaks all my bones:From day even to night will you make an end of me.
38:14
Like a swallow or a crane, so did I chatter;I did moan as a dove; my eyes fail with looking upward:
Lord, I am oppressed, be my collateral.
38:15
What shall I say? He has both spoken to me, and himself has done it:I shall go softly all my years because of the bitterness of my soul.
38:16
Lord, by these things men live;Wholly therein is the life of my spirit:
You restore me, and cause me to live.
38:17
Behold, it was for my peace that I had great bitterness:But you have in love to my soul delivered it from the pit of corruption;
For you have cast all my sins behind your back.
38:18
For Sheol can’t praise you, death can’t celebrate you:Those who go down into the pit can’t hope for your truth.
38:19
The living, the living, he shall praise you, as I do this day:The father to the children shall make known your truth.
38:20
Yahweh is ready to save me:Therefore we will sing my songs with stringed instruments
All the days of our life in the house of Yahweh.
38:21
Now Isaiah had said, Let them take a cake of figs, and lay it for a plaster on the boil, and he shall recover. 38:22Hezekiah also had said, What is the sign that I shall go up to the house of Yahweh?It should be noted that Hezekiah asked for longer life that he may have opportunity of doing Yahweh's works, including praising Yahweh and teaching Yahweh's words and works to the next generation. In other words, when we pray to Yahweh for healing, we should ask him to deliver our souls from trouble that we may indeed serve him with the remainder of our lives. In other words, we dedicate the rest of our lives to him for his use in the manner that he sees fit.
Visit The Sick To Attain To Eternal Life
Matthew 25:31-46 reads,
25:31
"But when the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then he will sit on the throne of his glory. 25:32Before him all the nations will be gathered, and he will separate them one from another, as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 25:33He will set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. 25:34Then the King will tell those on his right hand, ‘Come, blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world; 25:35for I was hungry, and you gave me food to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave me drink; I was a stranger, and you took me in; 25:36naked, and you clothed me; I was sick, and you visited me; I was in prison, and you came to me.’25:37
"Then the righteous will answer him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry, and feed you; or thirsty, and give you a drink? 25:38When did we see you as a stranger, and take you in; or naked, and clothe you? 25:39When did we see you sick, or in prison, and come to you?’25:40
"The King will answer them, ‘Most assuredly I tell you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.’ 25:41Then will he say also to those on the left hand, ‘Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire which is prepared for the devil and his angels; 25:42for I was hungry, and you didn’t give me food to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave me no drink; 25:43I was a stranger, and you didn’t take me in; naked, and you didn’t clothe me; sick, and in prison, and you didn’t visit me.’25:44
"Then they will also answer, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not help you?’25:45
"Then will he answer them, saying, ‘Most assuredly I tell you, inasmuch as you didn’t do it to one of these least, you didn’t do it to me.’ 25:46These will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life."To be righteous, and be granted eternal life, we must indeed visit the sick. This is true not only physically, but also spiritually. For those who are in sin are spiritually sick. We must therefore reach out to them and impart to them Yahweh's words of life. That they may consider and depart from the way of iniquity and walk in the way of righteousness. And when they return to righteousness, acknowledging and confessing their sins, and diligently seek Yahweh with all their heart and soul, faithfully serving him and forsaking idolatry, Yahweh will indeed forgive their sins and heal them.
Healers Should Anoint With Oil Those Who Are Sick
Mark 6:7-13 reads,
6:7
He called to himself the twelve, and began to send them out two by two; and he gave them authority over the unclean spirits. 6:8He charged them that they should take nothing for their journey, except a staff only: no bread, no wallet, no money in their purse, 6:9but to wear sandals, and not put on two tunics. 6:10He said to them, "Wherever you enter into a house, stay there until you depart from there. 6:11Whoever will not receive you nor hear you, as you depart from there, shake off the dust that is under your feet for a testimony against them. Assuredly, I tell you, it will be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city!"6:12
They went out and preached that people should repent. 6:13They cast out many demons, and anointed many with oil who were sick, and healed them.It should be noted that part of the healing process administered by Yah'shuah's disciples involves anointing with oil those who are sick and are being healed.
Healers Should Lay Hands On The Sick To Facilitate Their Recovery
Mark 16:14-18 reads,
16:14
Afterward he was revealed to the eleven themselves as they sat at the table, and he rebuked them for their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they didn’t believe those who had seen him after he had risen. 16:15He said to them, "Go into all the world, and preach the gospel to the whole creation. 16:16He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who disbelieves will be condemned. 16:17These signs will accompany those who believe: in my name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new languages; 16:18they will take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it will in no way hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover."
Healing Witnesses Yahweh's Kingdom
Luke 10:1-12 reads,
10:1
Now after these things the Lord also appointed seventy others, and sent them two by two before his face into every city and place, where he himself was about to come. 10:2Then he said to them, "The harvest is indeed plentiful, but the laborers are few. Pray therefore to the Lord of the harvest, that he may send out laborers into his harvest. 10:3Go your ways. Behold, I send you out as lambs in the midst of wolves. 10:4Carry no purse, nor wallet, nor sandals. Greet no one on the way. 10:5Into whatever house you enter, first say, ‘Peace be to this house.’ 10:6If a son of peace is there, your peace will rest on him; but if not, it will return to you. 10:7Remain in that same house, eating and drinking the things they give, for the laborer is worthy of his wages. Don’t go from house to house. 10:8Into whatever city you enter, and they receive you, eat the things that are set before you. 10:9Heal the sick who are therein, and tell them, ‘The kingdom of God has come near to you.’ 10:10But into whatever city you enter, and they don’t receive you, go out into the streets of it and say, 10:11‘Even the dust from your city that clings to us, we wipe off against you. Nevertheless know this, that the kingdom of God has come near to you.’ 10:12I tell you, it will be more tolerable in that day for Sodom than for that city.
Healing Attracts A Great Multitude
John 6:1-2 reads,
6:1
After these things, Jesus went away to the other side of the sea of Galilee, which is also called the Sea of Tiberias. 6:2A great multitude followed him, because they saw his signs which he did on those who were sick.It should be noted that healing the sick attracts a great multitude following after the one healing the sick. This happened with Yah'shuah, and happens today among those who heal the sick. For there are many who are sick and need healing, and these come that they may be healed. And there are others, who, once having been healed, are appreciative of that fact, and follow after the one through whom they were healed.

Financial contributions, payable to Servants of Yahweh, and sent to P O Box 78, Royston, SG8 7WF, United Kingdom, are welcome and gratefully received. These facilitate the effective distribution of the word Yah'shuah has given us, both in electronic and hard copy formats. Not all have easy access to the Internet and therefore cannot easily access our web site, http://www.christthelamp.org, for this information where it is freely available. These need hard copies of the information published on our web site. Production and distribution of books and booklets is significantly more costly than publishing and distributing material over the Internet. In this regard your financial contributions, whether by way of tithes and/or freewill offerings, go a great way in disseminating the word Yah'shuah has given us to the people he wills it to reach. May Yahweh and Yah'shuah richly bless you for your financial contributions to Servants of Yahweh.
