Arise,
and Be Healed!
"Arise, take up thy bed and walk." Mark 2:9-12
Over the years it has been our distinct privilege to pursue good health and gain a greater understanding of the meaning of a redeemed body, as outlined in scripture. Our experience has been one of unlearning and relearning, having discovered- sometimes through painful lessons- the truth of the Lord God Yahweh and His kingdom. Truly He who made us, formed us for His own pruposes that we might show forth His glory (Genesis 5:1). In the beginning, the Adam man and woman were formed in the image of Yahweh. Because of their rebellion, however, they fell short of His glory and reaped for themselves and the generations to follow, the curse of sickness and death. Because of their disobedience, all creation has been subject to corruption- that corruption being all manner of discomfort, pain, suffering, disease, and death. Is it a wonder that the world and all its inhabitants has groaned throughout the ages for relief? We think not.
The answers to life's questions and dilemmas, we believe, are found in the Bible. Deuteronomy 28 states: If thou shalt harken diligently unto the voice of Yahweh thy Elohim, to observe and to do all these commandments which I command thee this day, that Yahweh thy Elohim will set thee on high above all nations of the earth; And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee. but it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not harken unto the voice of Yahweh thy elohim, to observe to so all his commandments and his statutes which I command thee this day; that all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee." Deutronomy 28:1,2,15. These verses clearly show us Yahweh's standard for the nations, offering us His key to life should we desire to choose it.
Life is full of choices, and each of us has been given a free will to exercise free choice. We have been given a will to choose for ourselves how we want to live. Some of our choices we might rightfully say have been good, while others have not been good. In the final analysis, the only good we can rely upon is the application of the Word of Yahweh, where obedience to His commandments becomes the daily, righteous blessing in our lives.
It has been our experience to work out the Word of Yahweh in our lives in a practical sense, making choices that include health-related issues. We have concluded that Yahweh Elohim's ways are the best ways and therefore He has blessed us with keys of knowledge that have improved the quality of our health. We have learned that good health involves the whole man. We cannot neglect one part of our being to the exclusion of another. We have learned sobering truths about the food we eat, the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the environment in which we live. We have had to take a hard look at modern medicine and modern health care and reach real conclusions. All of this has been an education on our part to know the truth.
As a ministry of helps to others, we take this opportunity to share information which we have been privileged to discover over the years. In a practical sense, we know that what we have learned is true and when applied to one's life, makes a profound, positive difference. When Yahshua walked in the earth, He told the multitudes, "Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free (John 8:32). It is our hope and prayer that the truths we share on these webpages will bless you and set you free- free to enjoy life as it was intended to be.
