Health To The Land
We have been given a charge from the beginning to watch over Yahuah’s (Lord’s) creation.
Genesis 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
In Eden, man originally walked in God’s ways. When they went away from God, then came the fall and the creation became messed up. Death entered the world. But since that time God has been in the business of restoring the creation. This process continues at least until the return of our Messiah Yeshua (Jesus).
Acts 3:20 And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you:
21 Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began.
What are the “all things” spoken of here? Certainly the creation would seem to fit. But what is the process? A part of that process has been revealed time and again in the scriptures. When God’s people follow His ways, the land is blessed. When they refuse to follow His ways, the land is cursed and they can be carried away captive. What are these ways that seem to impact the deliverance of God’s people and creation from evil? It happened in the Exodus. Look at who and what was judged in Egypt at the first Passover.
Exodus 12:12 For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night, and will smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am the Lord.
Nahum also confirms this as a second witness.
Nahum 1:15 Behold upon the mountains the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace! O Judah, keep thy solemn feasts, perform thy vows: for the wicked shall no more pass through thee; he is utterly cut off.
Let us perform the good news and keep the Feasts of Yahuah (Lord).
Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are the one true and living King. We praise the name of Yahuah. Let Your kingdom and Your will come to this earth. Send us Your overwhelming provisions today. Forgive us our sins. Heal up our hearts and our minds, for we have been in bondage in a foreign land as a people many years. Deliver us with a strong hand and outstretched arm. Do not pull back until all that has been stolen from Your people, and times upon times more, has been given to Your people that all might know that You alone have done this. You are our King. In Yeshua’s (Jesus’) name we ask these things of You, Yahuah. Amen.
