Why is there no healing?

Shabbat Shalom!

We've just enjoyed a quiet but uplifting Sabbath fellowship.

This weeks message explores the issue of healing in the Church. I know many of us have loved ones, friends and family who are sick and in need of healing. And I know there are many in the body of Messiah who are frustrated by the lack of miraculous healing we see in the assemblies. It is a heartfelt cry from many of YHWH's children - why can we not heal the sick and bring solace to the broken hearted?

Being in this position myself and having prayed long and hard for one I love to be healed I have had to study the scriptures again to understand why YHWH is apparently unresponsive to our prayers.

There are several possible reasons why YHWH does not heal as the scripture indicates -

a) His scriptures are untrue
b) He does not have the capability to heal
c) We are not praying in faith
d) Now is not the time for great miracles and healing

Those of you that know me will realise that I would never preach that the scriptures are untrue or that YHWH cannot heal us. I can't speak for everyone but those in the body of Messiah who I know have offered heartfelt prayers for healing do so in total trust, faith and confidence that YHWH does hear our prayers.

So the only conclusion I can come to is that now is not the time.

Listen to this weeks message "Why is there no healing?" to find out how I came to this conclusion. But don't take my word for it - open your Bible and prove all things as you listen to the message.

May Yah bless you and keep you through the week ahead.

Your brother and servant of the One True God,

David
