Torah and Healing!

No matter how sick you may be, YHWH can heal you. We need to listen and obey His instructions. After that, have faith in Him and He will take care of the rest! The same way YHWH freed the people of Israel from slavery in Egypt, He can free us from our sicknesses. This week's story proves, once again, the amazing healing power of YHWH if we seek His guide and obey His words. People are rejecting His message because more people than ever before are dying from deadly diseases, despite all the money and resources we have today for research of disease. They can look all they want for a cure, but until they follow YHWH's instructions, they will not find the cure they are looking for. This week's study is just a great example to prove that.

Many people ask, if YHWH is such a loving Elohim, why do we suffer? We are told in

Isaiah 24:5:

The Earth suffers for the sins of its people, for they have twisted YHWH's instructions, violated his law, and broken His everlasting covenant.

YHWH has given us many signs to prove He has more power than any other source to heal us of all our diseases. But people are deceived to believe that doctors can do a better job. Or even worse, that there are other gods out there that can match YHWH's healing power. These ideas are misleading and dangerous.

In the story this week, many of Pharaoh's sorcerers were able to duplicate Moses' miracles. This may seem that all powers are equal. It can be very deceiving to the human understanding that all higher powers have the same power. If YHWH is the ultimate power, how were the sorcerers of Pharaoh able to duplicate some of Moses' miracles? Some used trickery or illusion, but many times people call on satanic powers. Worshiping other elohim (gods) other than YHWH, gods of the underworld, was part of their religion. But if they really had the power YHWH does, they would have reversed the plagues, not added to them.

Just like Pharaoh rejecting YHWH's powers, so did the people of Israel who were in captivity. YHWH not only gave the signs for Pharaoh to reveal that he is almighty, but he also gave the signs to the Children of Israel so they also understood His power. We see in last week's study how they also rejected YHWH's message via Moses. Finally they came around and showed some faith, but once they got into the desert and out of Egypt, their hearts became just a stubborn as Pharaoh's heart. They were shown time after time YHWH's mighty power, but still refused the message as soon as something didn't go according to their liking or understanding.

There are many different gods in the world, but only one Creator and His name is YHWH. During the times of Moses, there were many different nations praying to these other gods of the world and it caused them great hardship. Even the people of Israel, who YHWH rescued out of Egypt, prayed to idols and because of it, only two of them entered the "promised land." These other gods may seem to bring temporary relief, but only YHWH saves, heals and delivers.

Remember last week's message, we saw how YWHH saves, heals and delivers. Even after the transgressions and iniquities. People are afflicted, but we will see in future studies how every time the people didn't keep their promise or covenant with YHWH they were afflicted, but when they repented, YHWH rescued them.

Fools because of their transgression, and because of their iniquities, are afflicted. Their being despises all manner of food; and they draw near to the gates of death. Then they cry to YHWH in their trouble; and He saves them out of their distresses. He sent His Word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.

Psalms 107:17-20

YHWH gave Pharaoh and the children of Israel many opportunities to heed Moses' warnings. But finally YHWH seemed to say, "All right, have it your way," and Pharaoh's heart became permanently hardened, as did the children of Israel in the desert. After a lifetime of resisting YHWH, you may find it impossible to turn to him. Don't wait until just the right time before turning to YWHH. Do it now while you still have the chance. If you continually ignore YHWH's voice, eventually you will be unable to hear it at all.

People want to see and experience YHWH's healing miracles before believing in Him. YHWH sent the greatest miracle of all, His son Yeshua. Yeshua means, YAH's-salvation. Still many people don't get it. They are stuck in the pleasures of this world and would rather live with sickness than to come around and realize that there is no better way than putting our trust and faith in Yeshua. What are you going to do, continue to harden your hearts or come around and believe in Yeshua?

It is better to trust in YHWH than to put confidence in man.

-Psalms 118-8
