Shabbat Message of YHWH's Word of Faith Ministries
Are You Sick and Tired of Being Sick and Tired?
Dis - Ease
Un easy, Not at Ease, Sickness
Caused by Fear, Worry, Bad Habits, Sin!
The dictionary defines sickness as an 'infirmity', 'debility', 'binding', 'holding down' and disease as 'not at ease', 'unnatural softening or dysfunctioning of the physical organs'.
Exo 23:25 And ye shall serve YHWH your Elohim, and he shall bless thy bread, and thy water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee.
Dt 7:15 And YHWH 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.
Sin causes sickness
We need to discover the cause for sickness and disease if we are to alleviate the problem!
Lk 3:8-9 Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of repentance, and begin not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, That YHWH is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham. (9) And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: every tree therefore which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
Mk 4:6 But when the sun was up, it was scorched; and because it had no root, it withered away.
So if we get rid of the root cause... the dis-ease will die!
Many have lost confidence in YHWH & HIS promises because they don't meet the conditions. They don't get to the Root of the problem & fail to meet YHWH's conditions for healing.
YHWH shows us specific causes for sickness in the Word...
If we break YHWH's Laws (Dis obedience) we open ourselves to Dis Ease!!!
Ex 15:26 And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of YHWH they Elohim, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for am YHWH that healeth thee.
Sin breaks down the hedge of YHWH and gives Satan (Or the circumstances) an opening to afflict you.
Sin entered into the world, and death (ultimate sickness) by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned (Rom 5:12). So ultimately all sickness is the result of sin.
For this cause many are weak and sickly among you (1 Cor 11:30).
If thou wilt NOT observe to do all the words of this law...then YHWH will make thy plagues...great plagues and of long continuance, and sore sicknesses, and of long continuance. Moreover he will bring upon thee all the diseases of Egypt, which thou wast afraid of...Also every sickness, and every plague, which is not written in the book of this law, them will YHWH bring upon thee (Dt 28:58-61).
Immoral lives - AIDS, herpes, etc
Pork causes worms, parasites, and heart disease!
Not always so apparent!
When YHWSHUA was dealing with sickness:
Son, thy sins be forgiven thee (Mark 2:5)
Sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee (John 5:14).
Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, THAT YE MAY BE HEALED, and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him (Jas 5:16)
Fools because of their transgressions, and because of their iniquities, are afflicted. Their soul abhorreth all manner of meat; and they draw near unto the gates of death. Then they cry unto YHWH in their trouble, and he saveth them out of their distresses. He sent his word, and healed them (Ps 107:17-20)
The Wicked one Uses Our sin against us!
Lk 4:35 - “And YHWSHUA rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him. And when the devil had thrown him in the midst, he came out of him, and hurt him not.”
Lk 4:39 - “And he stood over her, and rebuked the fever; and it left her: and immediately she arose and ministered unto them.”
Mk 9:25 When YHWSHUAsaw that the people came running together, he rebuked the foul spirit, saying unto him, Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I charge thee, come out of him, and enter no more into him.
YHWH calls sickness or disease ...
Captivity - Job 42:10 - "YHWH turned the captivity of Job". Lk 4:18 “The Spirit of YHWH 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.”
A Curse - Dt 28:61 - "Also every sickness and every plague which is not written in the Book of This Law, them will YHWH bring upon thee, until thou be destroyed “ ..."fear YHWH and obey His voice, lest prolonged plagues and sickness come on you." Sickness is a curse - the fruit of disobedience."
Destruction - Ps 107: 20 - "He sent His Word and healed them and delivered them from their destructions". Jn 10:10 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.
Oppression - Act 10: 38 says, "How YHWH anointed YHWSHUA of Nazareth with the Set Apart Spirit and power, who went about doing good and healing all that were oppressed of the devil, for YHWH was with Him”
Bondage - Lk 13:16 "And ought not this woman being a daughter of Abraham whom satan had bound, lo, these eighteen years be loosed from this bond on the Sabbath day?"
YHWH NEVER calls sickness a blessing
Wrong Teaching
Sickness is the will of YHWH
We get closer to YHWH through our sickness
YHWH teaches us through sickness
YHWH does not always heal
Healing is a personal matter
Paul's thorn was eye disease
Ez 34:1-5 - 1 And the word of YHWH came unto me, saying, Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel, prophesy, and say unto them, Thus saith the Master YHWH unto the shepherds; Woe be to the shepherds of Israel that do feed themselves! should not the shepherds feed the flocks? Ye eat the fat, and ye clothe you with the wool, ye kill them that are fed: but ye feed not the flock. The diseased have ye not strengthened, neither have ye healed that which was sick, neither have ye bound up that which was broken, neither have ye brought again that which was driven away, neither have ye sought that which was lost; but with force and with cruelty have ye ruled them. And they were scattered, because there is no shepherd: and they became meat to all the beasts of the field, when they were scattered.”

Not Serving YHWH with gladness
Dt 28:45-47 warns us of serving with a murmuring and complaining spirit. “Moreover all these curses shall come upon thee, and shall pursue thee, and overtake thee, till thou be destroyed; because thou hearkenedst not unto the voice of YHWH thy Elohim, to keep his commandments and his statutes which he commanded thee: And they shall be upon thee for a sign and for a wonder, and upon thy seed for ever. Because thou servedst not YHWH thy Elohim with joyfulness, and with gladness of heart, for the abundance of all things.”

(3) (Now the man Moses was very meek, above all the men which were upon the face of the earth.)
Num 12:9-10 And the anger of YHWH was kindled against them; and he departed. (10) And the cloud departed from off the tabernacle; and, behold, Miriam became leprous, white as snow: and Aaron looked upon Miriam, and, behold, she was leprous.

(11) And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith YHWH of hosts.

Cleanliness - extreme temperatures, germs, contagious diseases 2 Cor. 7: 1 - “let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of YHWH...”
Worry & Stress! 2Co 7:10 For Righteous sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death. (Matt. 6:28–34) 1 Pet 5:7 - “Casting all your care upon him; for He careth for you".
Wrong Medicines With Side Effects
Obedience Brings Healing
YHWH Means what HE says!!
Disobedience brings disease and sickness
Obedience brings healing! (At One Ment!!!)
We must prepare for healing by getting right with YHWH (In line with HIS Laws)!

YHWSHUA said, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you (Jn 6:53).
Are we Worthy or unworthy? Are we living a lifestyle of obedience? Or simply "pretenders"?
