How far will you go to find the healing hand of Adonai? Most people will say they will go as far as it takes. But the truth reveals something very different. Many people today feel like they are in this place of locust devouring what little they have, and yet they will not embrace Adonai's promise with in sense of purpose.
13 If I shut up the heavens, and there is no rain, or if I command the locusts to devour the land, or if I send a plague among My people;
14 if My people, who are called by My name, shall humble themselves and pray, and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from Heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.
15 Now My eyes shall be open, and My ears shall be open to the prayer of this place.
16 For now I have chosen and sanctified this house, so that My name may be there forever. And My eyes and My heart shall be there forever.
As I read though this I found myself asking why is my land not healing just yet.
The answer was found in Leviticus
Lev:26
3 If you walk in My statutes and keep My commandments and do them,
4 then I will give you rain in due season, and the land shall yield her increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit.
5 And your threshing shall reach to the vintage, and the vintage shall reach to the sowing time. And you shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land safely.
I was taught that most biblical statutes were abolished by Christ. We are under grace not law. Did you know that in the time of Christ that The Scriptures were only the old testament. The new was unwritten. In fact even what was to become the new testament was not considered scripture as it was being written. Don't get me wrong I am not saying it is not inspired, I am saying that the New Testament refers only to the Old Testament as Scripture.
I am not going to quote this next part. It is a challenge to you the reader.
What was Yeshua always telling us in the New Testament? Boiled down, He said pay heed to The Scriptures.
In my next blog I will look at some scriptures that people don't take seriously enough.

Shalom to you,
ReplyDeleteMy name is Yuri and I appreciate your post which upholds the importance of the Tanakh (OT). You made some strong points in its' favor which is very much needed. We need both Old and New (or renewed) Testaments.
So thanks for sharing.
