"I Am YHWH Who Heals
You"
Exodus 15:26
The
LORD said, "IF you will diligently hearken to the voice of YHWH
your GOD, and do what is right in His eyes, and incline your ears to His
commandments, and keep all His statutes, I will put none of the diseases
upon you that I have put upon the Egyptians; for I am YHWH who heals you"
(Exodus 15:26).
What
a wonderful promise GOD has given us, to heal us and keep us healthy from all diseases.
There is only ONE condition: that we listen to His voice. May we always seek
Him directly, who is not only our great Physician, but our HEALER.
Our
full health is so important to Him, who loves us, that He has promised it over
and over again:
"It shall come to pass, IF you listen to these judgments,
and keep and do them, that YHWH your God will keep with you the covenant
and the mercy which He swore to your fathers. And He will love you and bless
you and multiply you; He will also bless the fruit of your womb and the fruit
of your land, your grain and your new wine and your oil, the increase of your
cattle and the offspring of your flock, in the land of which He swore to your
fathers to give you. You shall be blessed above all peoples; there shall not be
a male or female barren among you or among your livestock. And
YHWH
will take away from you all sickness, and will afflict you with none of
the terrible diseases of
“You shall serve YHWH your God, and He
will bless your bread and your water. And I will take sickness away from the midst of
you. No one shall suffer miscarriage or be barren in your land; I will
fulfil the number of your days” (Ex.
“Bless YHWH, O my soul; and all that is within me, bless His holy
Name! Bless YHWH, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits: Who forgives
all your iniquities, who heals all your diseases, who redeems
your life from destruction, who crowns you with loving-kindness and
tender mercies, who satisfies your adornment [ph. the flourishing almond-tree] with
good things, so that your youth is renewed like the
eagle's” (Psalm 103:1-5).
GOD
promises perfect health to His children when they obey Him with a perfect heart.
And we ask, "How can we receive that right now?"

Do
you seek GOD, or His healing?
Are
you satisfied with GOD and His promise?
GOD
can impossibly lie (Heb.
I suggest that we start looking upon GOD and simply take His promise as
a love‑gift and begin praising Him, thanking Him for His gift, thanking
Him for Himself, giving Him our heart.
Love
is health. Love heals all wounds.
Believe
in the perfect sacrifice of Yeshua.
N 388 = 97 × 4
GOD has brought a "perfect sacrifice" (97) for your
"justification" (4): His only Son who was slaughtered as a "lamb
for our sins" (38).
Sin is the ultimate cause of all sickness and
suffering. “YHWH God commanded the man, saying,
"From any tree of the garden you may eat freely; but from the tree of the
knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat from
it you will surely die (Gen. 2:16-17). Man transgressed and died, at that
very moment (spiritually immediately, and physically later). In like manner
every man (except One, and of course the newborn babies) has sinned and is dead
in sin.
But the Last Adam, the only Son of GOD, died in our stead, forgiving our
sins, that by believing in Him we may receive eternal life. If we accept Him,
He restores everything — also our health. FIRST FORGIVENESS,
THEN HEALING. All by His sacrifice of love.
“For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life
in Mashiach Yeshua our Lord” (Rom.
"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. All we like sheep have gone astray, we have turned every one
to his own way; and YHWH has laid upon Him the iniquity of us all," Isaiah
53:5‑6. What an infinite Gift! Let us begin to thank GOD, no matter how
we feel.
"If we confess our sins, HE is faithful and righteous to forgive us
our sins, and cleanse us from all unrighteousness," 1 John 1:7‑2:2.
In the same way as you receive forgiveness, you receive healing: by
faith in the Word of GOD. Yeshua "Himself bore our sins in His body on the
tree, in order that, being dead to sins, we may live to righteousness: by whose
stripes you have been healed," 1 Peter 2:24‑25.
Pilate took Yeshua and scourged Him with the Roman scourge, having a
short shaft and long leather thongs with jagged pieces of bone or metal at
their ends. With this cruel scourge he flayed the skin of the back of our LORD,
although he declared Him to be innocent!! (John 19:1; Matt. 27:26).
Thus it was fulfilled what David prophesied, "The ploughers
ploughed upon My back; they made long their
furrows," Psalm 129:3. How terribly Yeshua has suffered to provide healing
for us. What a disdain and sorrow to the heart of GOD if we turn elsewhere
seeking healing. (GOD can use physicians, but you come to GOD FIRST.
Thank Him for healing by the stripes of His beloved Son. Do as HE directs you.)
"Asa in the thirty‑ninth year of his reign became diseased in
his feet, until his disease was extremely great; yet in his disease he did not seek
YHWH, but the physicians" (2 Chronicles 16:12). GOD was waiting for
King Asa, ready to heal him, but he turned elsewhere for healing, and so he
died sick.
The finished work of our Lord Yeshua includes healing as well as
forgiveness of our sins. First we must receive forgiveness, the heart must be
cured; then GOD cures our body by the holy Blood of
Yeshua. How HE has suffered, to give us such a great gift! Therefore, come
directly to Him, repent of your sins confessing them, and GOD forgives in
answer to His Son's prayer on the Cross, "Father, forgive them, for they
know not what they do" (Luke
Yeshua Mashiach healed all the sick and infirm who
were brought to Him (Matt. 8:16‑17).
GOD can test our faith a little while, as HE did with Job, but HE can
NEVER disappoint our faith. GOD healed Job in the moment when he forgave
and prayed for his friends, who had wrongly accused and criticized him (Job
42:10). GOD first healed Job's heart from secret self-righteousness, and then
GOD healed his body. How beautiful is the attitude of faith in Job in the
beginning of his severe tribulation (Job 1:20‑22 and
Just read Isaiah 53:5, underline it with a red pencil, and thank GOD for
His precious Gift. That is faith. Rejoice in GOD!
"Does any one among you suffer evil? let
him pray. Is any happy? let him sing psalms. Is any
sick among you? 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; and the prayer of faith shall heal the sick, and the Lord shall raise him
up; and if he has committed sins, it shall be forgiven him. Confess
therefore your offenses to one another, and pray for one another, that
you may be healed. The fervent supplication of the righteous man has much
power" (James 5:13‑16). Do exactly that, and GOD does exactly that.
Ask the elders of the assembly to pray with you and to anoint you with oil in
the Name of the Lord, and keep your eyes upon your crucified Savior, by
whose stripes you are healed! Accept His free gift with praise.
You
are a member of Mashiach’s new resurrection body, His assembly.

288 = 25 * 32 the first-fruits to GOD and His Anointed,
crucified and risen with Him (cf. 28). They are His kingly priesthood.

this King of Glory” S 288 Ps. 24:8; “a kingdom and priests to our GOD” P 288
Rev. 5:10.
Mashiach died not only for our sins, but in our stead: “One died for all, therefore all have died; and He died for all,
that they who live might no longer live for themselves, but for Him
who died and rose again on their behalf. — Therefore
if anyone is in Mashiach, he is a new creation; the old
things have passed away; behold, all things have become new” (2 Cor.
You are a member of the new, risen body of Mashiach, and
His body is pure, holy, and healthy (1 Cor.
Over those risen with Mashiach the spirit of
death and sickness has no right, no power. This is fullness of LIFE.

Him, to whom your life belongs. Obey Him! GOD gives His Holy
Spirit to those who obey Him (Acts
The bride of Mashiach follows the Lamb wherever HE goes; all in her life
seeks only to please Him. She is His kingship and queen and shall sit with Him
in His throne and govern the nations with an iron rod. She has learned one
lesson, like Mary: "Whatever HE may say to you, DO!" John 2:5.
This is the characteristic of the house of David, they obey their King.
Such obedience out of love inherits all GOD'S promises.
Not only that she has healing, but she is a
spring of healing. Full of compassion she cares for the needy and encourages
her sisters in lifting up the cross with them, as we read: "Is this not the
fast that I have chosen: To loose the bonds of wickedness, to undo the
heavy burdens, to let the oppressed go free, and that you break every
yoke? Is it not to share
your bread with the hungry, and that you bring to your house the poor
who are cast out; when you see the naked, that you cover him,
and not hide yourself from your own flesh? Then your light shall break forth
like the morning, your healing shall spring forth speedily, and your
righteousness shall go before you; the glory of YHWH shall be your rear guard.
Then you will call, and YHWH will answer; you will cry, and He will say, 'Here
I am.' If you remove the yoke from your midst, the pointing of the finger and
speaking wickedness, and if you give yourself to the hungry and satisfy the
desire of the afflicted, then your light will rise in darkness and your
gloom will become like
That
was what the Lord of the Sabbath was occupied with especially on the holy
Sabbath day, glorifying His Father in the hearts of men.
But
if you point fingers at others, speaking negative things about your brothers or
sisters, bite back and are offended, then don’t wonder if your faithful Father
in Heaven disciplines His unruly child — perhaps even through sickness. Then
you come to a blessed evangelist asking him to pray for you with the laying on
of hands — and nothing happens. But if you come to the elders of your assembly
for anointing, they may give you some wholesome lesson instead which will bring
wonderful healing if heeded.
How
wonderful is the illustration of this holy Name "I Am YHWH who Heals
you": the infested waters of Marah were made healthy by the tree
which Moses cast into it, Ex. 15:22-25. Healing is by the Cross, not by
the Blood alone. Only when we are crucified and risen with
Mashiach, walking in the Light, we have true healing.
