Where does sickness come from?

Where does sickness come from?

My daughter has almost never known a day without pain.  She has six conditions that medical science has labeled as "fatal".  As I write this she is in the hospital for her eightieth or so visit.  Illness has tried to define her life and the life of her family.   People sometimes ask me if I am mad at the Father of Truth (YHVH aka God aka THE LORD) because of her condition.  The truth is that I have never been angry at Him for this or any other illness because I know where sickness comes from.  I know because the Book of Truth (the Bible) tells me.

Perhaps you have experienced illness or even have had someone taken away from you at too early of an age.  Perhaps you have been wondering what many have wondered.  Where does sickness come from?

The first mention of physical pain was when the Father of Truth told Eve the consequences of her disobedience (Genesis 3:16).  The first mention of a physical problem was the barrenness of Sarai (Sarah) the wife of Abram (Abraham) (Genesis 11:29-30).  The first mention of a plague was when Pharaoh the king of Egypt sought to make Sarai his wife (Genesis 12:17).   The first mention of a woman dying in childbirth was Rachel when Benjamin was born (Genesis 35:17-19).  The first record of someone being sick was Jacob in the land of Egypt (Genesis 48:1-2).  The first recorded death from sickness was Jacob in the land of Egypt (Genesis 49:33).

It seems that sickness has happened to everyone every since Adam went into disobedience in the Garden of Eden.  Pharaoh and his people that worshiped idols were plagued but those that followed the Father of Truth did not fare any better.  Does sickness come from any where?

No curse ever comes upon anyone without a cause and sickness is no different (Proverbs 26:2).  The cause of pain in childbirth was the sin of Eve.  The cause of the plagues upon Pharaoh and his people was causing trouble to Abram the father of the Jews (Genesis 12:3-4).

But what about Sarai, Rachel and Jacob?  What caused them to suffer?  The cause in their cases was ignorance of where sickness comes from.

So where does sickness come from?

Sickness comes from not doing what the Father of Truth commands (Deuteronomy 28:58-61).   You invite sickness into your life every time that you are disobedient to what He has said (Psalm 38:3).  You can bring sickness into your life by your own sins.

This curse of sickness is not limited just to you but can extend to your children, grandchildren and great grandchildren in place of you dying (Exodus 34:7).  This curse that extends to the third and fourth generation is mercy of the Father of Truth because He cannot justly allow you to get away with disobedience (Numbers 14:18).  If He gave people what they deserve as soon as they deserved it there would be no generations after them (Isaiah 1:9).  So my daughter's many genetic issues are the results of her ancestors disobedience.

Sickness can come from sin that is done in ignorance.  Ignorance is not bliss.  The Children of Truth can have their health destroyed when they have a lack of knowledge concerning where sickness comes from (Hosea 4:6).   All sin is transgression of the Law of Truth (Torah aka The Law) regardless of one's knowledge of it (1 John 3:4).

Sickness comes from a lack of peace in your soul.  Envy will wreck your health (Proverbs 14:30).

Sickness comes from participating in sex in any fashion other than that intended by the Father of Truth.  Anyone that has sex of any sort outside of the bounds of marriage between a man and a woman is asking for a sexually transmitted disease (1 Corinthians 6:18).  Particularly those that abuse their bodies with homosexual acts (1 Corinthians 6:9).

Of course, sickness does not have to be the result of your personal disobedience nor the disobedience of your ancestors (John 9:1-3).  The curse can come because of someone else.

Abel suffered and died because of the sin of Cain (Genesis 4:7-9).  Murder was a sin that brought punishment before the Father of Truth ever gave the Law of Truth to Moses (Genesis 4:10-12).   He has plainly said in the Law of Truth "Thou shalt not kill" (Exodus 20:13).   The Law of Truth did not make murder a sin but only revealed that murder was a sin (Romans 3:20).  Sin and its consequences existed from the moment that Adam disobeyed the Father of Truth (Romans 5:12-14).

In the same way the sin of others can bring you sickness.  The unfaithfulness of a wife can destroy the health of her husband (Proverbs 12:4).  Distressful news brought on by the sin of others can wreck your health (Habakkuk 3:16).

Since sickness comes from sin then sickness is the result of giving into temptation.  The Father of Truth is not the one tempting people so He is not the cause of sickness (James 1:13).  When people give into temptation because it appeals to their own desires then they sin and that brings the consequences of sin (James 1:14-15).  The Father of Lies (HaShatan aka Satan aka The Devil) is the one that tempts people to give in their wrong desires (1 Corinthians 7:5). 

The Father of Lies often works like this to bring sickness.  First he tempts a religious professional like the prophet Balaam into believing a lie by offering something that the religious professional wants (2 Peter 2:15).  The religious professional then starts teaching a doctrine contrary to that of the Father of Truth to some people (Revelation 2:14).  Those people then cause others to transgress against the commandments of the Father of Truth (Numbers 31:15-16).  This transgression then brings the sickness upon the entire group including those who are innocent of the transgression (Numbers 25:1-9).

Ultimately the Father of Lies brings sickness to kill people by lying and getting others to lie (John 8:44).

The Father of Truth is not where sickness comes from.

He has promised to heal you of every disease if you will learn to obey His instructions (Exodus 15:26).  He will take sickness from you if you learn to walk in His ways (Deuteronomy 7:12-15).  If a community will learn to walk in His ways then not one of them will be sick or barren or miscarry or die young (Exodus 23:25-26).

The Father of Truth sent the Man of Truth (Yeshua HaMashiach aka Jesus Christ) to end this oppression of the Father of Lies called sickness (Acts 10:38).

The Man of Truth took a terrible beating that left him so bloody and wounded that he did not even look like a man anymore (Isaiah 52:14).  He suffered the consequences of sin in his body so that you could be healed in your body (Isaiah 53:5). He did this so that you could be healed of every disease (1 Peter 2:24).

Three times I have heard the "Your daughter is going to die - make funeral arrangements" speech from medical professionals and three times the Man of Truth has stood between her and death.  The Father of Truth is where healing and health comes from.  The Father of Truth desires above all things that you be in health (3 John 1:2).

The Father of Truth is waiting for you to come into the House of Truth so that you can be healed (Hosea 6:1).  The Man of Truth has suffered so that you can come into the House of Truth (Romans 5:19-21).  Those women that come into the House of Truth and remain there will not die in childbearing like Rachel did (1 Timothy 2:15).

You come into the House of Truth where you can learn to have health instead of sickness by surrendering everything to the Man of Truth because you believe that the Father of Truth raised him from the dead (Romans 10:9).

Come into the House of Truth.
