JEHOVAH SHAMMAH

Be an EmetVe-Emunah, a Striving Jew.

I believe the origin of leprosy may have been touching the unclean, dead and sinful.

There is lots of Power in touch. Jesus experienced such a relationship with the Pure Power of God, that every time anyone even touched his garments, he felt the transference of the Power of the Holy Spirit. So that we see, Believers and those who possess the Spirit do receive and give or share the Spirit through touch as well as action, deed and word.

After an entire life of touching the unclean, one's power diminishes and they may develop leprosy.

One can be made well and whole or become sick and diseased through touch.

Not that the LORD intends for us to become a sterile Nation, but that He is full of Goodness and Power that He wishes to share and bestow upon the worthy, and He desires that the least among us become worthy and strive to remain so.

We're supposed to enjoy the Warmth and Togetherness of nourishing, loving Touch.

But because so many in the world are willing to be ritually impure and so few by contrast are willing to be pure and Holy as He is Holy, disease is rampant and instead of turning from sin and looking to God for answers and healing, we turn to science so-called and medicine...We need a "Kohen" (Most Prestigious Person in Community) or Physician worthy of Power from on High to lead us back to God for healing.

The biblical mind sees the connection between the physical and spiritual dimensions of illness and recovery or disease and health/healing more clearly than any worldly doctor or physician.

The chief aim of a physician was to get the afflicted person back into the community and fellowship with kindred as soon as possible, not to isolate. Religion was inclusive and its benefit, that of a healthy mind, body and spirit, keeping one another Holy and away from sin and the sinful.

The Question always being: "What moral or spiritual failing may have caused whatever illness we have?"

Which is not necessarily to say, "You are suffering because of your sins." But more of an inquiry of two people getting to know each other and learning from each other about the Spirit of God. They, both physician and afflicted, come to understand illness as a result of moral as well as physical causes. A physical manifestation of a spiritual malaise.

Because of our society's moral failures, we have reached a time when most physicians are no better than witch doctors. Especially those in the so-called "healing arts" which I like to call the "stealing arts." Massage is one of the worst of these.

One can no longer trust or touch anyone over the age of 30 years who does not at least claim Christ as Lord and Saviour, and even then, they should be tested thoroughly. And God can make any "clean" in an instant if He so Wills and finds worthy. Be worthy. Open your heart, mind and will to Him.

Ever felt uneasy around a person who loves to touch others. You know the type that loves to grab you or hug you when talking with you? This was wisdom in you and folly in the other...

I think it is especially displeasing to God to witness any waste this power upon animals, the very sacrifices He often provides for our temporary healing and renewal of strength...

His Spirit is so Precious. Learn to treat It as such.

1Ti 5:22 Lay hands suddenly on no man, neither be partaker of other men's sins: keep thyself pure.

Be careful...and be sure. He is...

 

As CH Spurgeon once wrote:

 

"Whereas the Lord was there." --Ezekiel 35:10

Edom's princes saw the whole country left desolate, and counted upon its easy conquest; but there was one great difficulty in their way--quite unknown to them--"The Lord was there"; and in His presence lay the special security of the chosen land. Whatever may be the machinations and devices of the enemies of God's people, there is still the same effectual barrier to thwart their design. The saints are God's heritage, and He is in the midst of them, and will protect His own. What comfort this assurance yields us in our troubles and spiritual conflicts! We are constantly opposed, and yet perpetually preserved! How often Satan shoots his arrows against our faith, but our faith defies the power of hell's fiery darts; they are not only turned aside, but they are quenched upon its shield, for "the Lord is there." Our good works are the subjects of Satan's attacks. A saint never yet had a virtue or a grace which was not the target for hellish bullets: whether it was hope bright and sparkling, or love warm and fervent, or patience all-enduring, or zeal flaming like coals of fire, the old enemy of everything that is good has tried to destroy it. The only reason why anything virtuous or lovely survives in us is this, "the Lord is there."

If the Lord be with us through life, we need not fear for our dying confidence; for when we come to die, we shall find that "the Lord is there"; where the billows are most tempestuous, and the water is most chill, we shall feel the bottom, and know that it is good: our feet shall stand upon the Rock of Ages when time is passing away. Beloved, from the first of a Christian's life to the last, the only reason why he does not perish is because "the Lord is there." When the God of everlasting love shall change and leave His elect to perish, then may the Church of God be destroyed; but not till then, because it is written, JEHOVAH SHAMMAH, "The Lord is there."
