PART 8 A

CENTURION'S SERVANT HEALED

When Yeshua finished teaching His Word to the audience of people, He entered into the town of K'far-Nachum again. A certain centurion's servant was there, who was sick and close to death. The centurion was very fond of his servant. So, when he heard about Yeshua, he sought for Him through the Zakenim of the Yehudim, imploring them for Yeshua to come and heal his servant. When the elders came to Yeshua they immediately begged Him, "The centurion is worthy for you to do this for him, for he loves Yisrael and he built us a synagogue." Then Yeshua went with them. When He was not far from the centurion's house, the centurion sent friends to Yeshua with a message which said, "Adonai, do not trouble yourself anymore, for I am not worthy for you to come under my roof. I don't think I am worthy to come to you, but simply speak the word and my servant will be healed. For I also am a man put under authority and I have soldiers under my authority and I say to one of them, 'Go, and he goes,' and to another one, 'Come and he comes' and to my servant, 'Do this and he does it.'" When Yeshua heard this He was amazed at the centurion, so He turned around to the people that followed Him and said, "I tell you, I have not found so great a trust before. No, not in all the land of Yisrael. I tell you, many shall come from the east and west and shall sit down with Avraham, Yitzchak and Ya'akov in the Kingdom of Heaven. But some of those supposed to be the Children of the Kingdom shall be turned away and put into outer darkness. There will be weeping and teeth grating." Yeshua said to the centurion's friends, "Go your way. It has happened as you expected." So his servant was healed at the very same moment. Then those the centurion sent returned to his house and found the servant who had been sick completely healed.

DEAD MAN RESURRECTED

The next day, Yeshua went into a town called Nain and many of His disciples went with Him along with many people. When He came near to the gate of the town, there was a dead man being carried out who was the only son of his mother. She was a widow and many people of the town were with her. When Yeshua saw her He had compassion on her and said, "Don't cry." Then He came and took hold of the funeral palette and those who carried the dead man stopped. He said, "Young man, I tell you to get up." The dead man sat up and began to speak. Then Yeshua turned him over to his mother. Fear came upon all who saw it and they glorified Elohim, saying, "A great prophet has risen up among us and Elohim has visited His people."

YESHUA AFFIRMS YOCHANAN

This rumour about Yeshua being a great prophet went throughout all the region of Yehudah. So the disciples of Yochanan reported this back to him, {that he was considered a great prophet by the people}. Then Yochanan called two of his disciples and sent them to see Yeshua with this message, "Are you the One that was promised to come, the Moshiach or do we look for someone else?" When the men came to Yeshua they said, "Yochanan the Immerser sent us to you to ask you, 'Are you the One that was promised to come, Moshiach or should we look for someone else?'" At that same time Yeshua cured many people of their infirmities, plagues and evil spirits. He also gave sight to many blind people. Then Yeshua said to them, "Go back and tell Yochanan what you have seen and heard, how the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, to the poor the joyful message is preached. And, blessed is the one who will not be offended with me." When the messengers of Yochanan were gone, Yeshua began to speak to the people concerning Yochanan, "What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaking in the wind? Think now, what did you go out to see? A man decked out in fine clothes? Of course not! Those who are beautifully clothed live in the comfort found in kings' courts. But, what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, but much more than a prophet. This is the one of whom it is written, 'Watch! I send My messenger before Your face, who will prepare Your way before You.' For I tell you, among those who have been born of women there is no greater prophet than Yochanan the Immerser, but the one who is least in the Kingdom of Elohim is even greater than him. Yet from the days of Yochanan the Immerser until the present, the Kingdom of Heaven allows itself to be violently treated and the violent abuse it through the use of force. But, all the prophets until Yochanan and the Torah, foretold this would happen. And, if you can comprehend it, Yochanan is the Eliyahu, who was to come. He who can hear it, let him understand." The people who heard Yochanan, even some tax collectors, were justified by Elohim because they were purified with the mikveh officiated by Yochanan. But, some of the P'rushim and Torah teachers rejected the will of Elohim by not receiving the mikveh of Yochanan, thereby hurting themselves. Yeshua continued, "With what will I compare the people of this generation? They are like children sitting in the marketplace calling to one another, 'We have played for you, but you have not danced. We have mourned to you and you have not wept.' In like manner, Yochanan came eating no bread and drinking no wine and you say, 'He has a deceptive spirit.' The Son of man comes eating and drinking and you say, 'Look at him, a glutton and a wino, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!' Well, wisdom will be proven innocent by her children.' Then Yeshua warned the towns where most of His mighty works were done, because they did not do t'shuvah. Trouble upon you, Chora'zin! Trouble upon you, Beit-Zata! For if the mighty deeds which were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have done t'shuvah long ago in sackcloth and ashes. So I tell you, it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon on the Day of Judgment, than for you. And you, K'far-Nachum, having been exalted to Heaven itself {It being the earthly home of Yeshua}, you will be brought down to sheol. For if the mighty works which have been done in you had been done in Sodom, it would be here today. But I tell you, it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the Day of Judgment, than for you." At that time Yeshua began to rejoice with Ruach HaKodesh, "I thank you, Oh Abba, YHVH, Sovereign of Heaven and Earth, because You have hid these things from wise sages and have revealed them to those unable to even speak. Abba, it seemed good in Your sight. All things belonging to Avi are released to Me and no man knows the Son, but Abba does. No one knows Abba either, except the Son and the one to whom the Son will reveal Abba. Come to Me now, all you who are weary from labour and are heavily burdened and I will give you rest. Join in the ox-yoke, in tandem, with Me and learn from Me and about Me, for I am harmless and humble in heart. This will bring rest to your souls. For My yoke is employed and My task is easy."

When you eat what your Creator told you not to eat you get the sicknesses He tried to prevent you from getting. When you eat the garbage disposal creatures of the ocean, you consume the garbage they have consumed.
If you get sick after eating them, it’s likely not an allergy to the bug you ate but rather an allergy to what the bug ate before you ate it.

Why not just get biblical?!

Eat clean.
Live clean.

Being overly educated does have the potential to confuse a great many people. If you have seen the mathematical trick that .9999 is equal to 1 that is nothing more than an expansion of the decimal, it may perplex some into believing that the number 1 doesn’t equal 1. If you pick up an apple and then you pick up another apple you have two apples. (unless you take a bite out of one of them) but some might try to convince you that you really don’t have two apples. The same trickery is used by some to confuse the people who trust the Bible when they use confusing words and confounding imagery. Because our Creator does not change His words are not confusing, the confusion comes from our lack of understanding and our desire to make His words fit our thought. Isaiah 55:8, “For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways,” declares the LORD.”

Thought for Today: Thursday March 20

Suppose a friend comes to your house and offer you a gift. Will you accept it, refuse it or pay them for it? Should you refuse it, is it because you feel unworthy of a gift? No! Your friend gives it out of love and wants you to have it – without payment, that is why it is called a gift. All you have to do is to accept the kind gesture. In a far greater way, this is what Yeshua did for us! By His death and resurrection, He paid for our salvation – now He offers it to us as a free gift and all we need to do is to accept it. I pray that today will be the day that you thank Him and accept that precious eternal gift!
