Galilee, Bread, and Health


Galilee, Bread, and Health

Why did the Messiah spend so much time in Galilee? There is significance in the answer!
Pin It
We have long talked about the importance of bread.
Scripture talks about Bread…. Lechem

As near as I can tell  - Yahusha was in the Galilee area… 
Yochanan 6:1 says he crossed the Sea of Galil…

And this story happens

Yochanan (John) 6:1- 13 p 759

~
First, let’s talk about Galilee a bit…
I’ve been reading Rabbi Jonathan Chan’s The Book of Mysteries

Let me share a bit about what he says about Galilee…

“… Ever wonder why… He (Yahusha) made Galilee the center of His ministry?

‘Because it was unlikely?’
‘Yes,’ said the teacher.  ‘It WAS unlikely, but there was another reason.  Centuries before Messiah’s coming the people of Israel fell away from God and defied His ways.  And then the judgment came as the armies of Assyria ravaged and depopulated the regions of the north, namely the land of Galilee.  It was destroyed and left desolate.  Galilee was the first of lands to suffer God’s judgement.  So too Galilee would be the first of lands to receive the comfort of God’s mercy in the coming of Messiah.  And it was of this land that Isaiah prophesied, ‘There will be no more gloom for her who was in anguish.  In earlier times He treated the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali with contempt, but later on He shall make it glorious, by the way of the sea, on the other side of Jordan,  Galilee of the Gentiles.  The people who walk in darkness will see a great light.  Those who live in a dark land, the light will shine on them.’
            ‘So Galilee was the first land to be broken,’ I said, ‘ and therefore the first to see the power of God to bind up the broken and heal the crippled.’
            ‘yes.” Said the teacher.  ‘Galilee, the broken land… and the land of the broken.  And who do you find in Galilee being drawn to Messiah?  The crippled, the leprous, the sick, the outcast, the sinful, the defiled, the broken.  Galilee is the land where the broken find Him who came for the broken, to be touched by His hands, and healed by His touch.  The people who walked in darkness saw a great light, Messiah, and in a dark land the light of God lit up their lives.  What is Galilee all about?  It’s about mercy, God’s mercy and compassion for the broken and crippled of man. 
            ‘And even for those who are broken because they fell into sin and rebellion.’
            ‘Yes,’ he said, ‘even those… especially those.’…
            ‘We are all of Galilee.’”

Doesn’t that provide an interesting setting for the story?...

And it was there – in the land of the broken… that Messiah Yahusha gave bread. 
Literal – Lechem. 

And what happens after that story of Messiah feeding the people?

He goes up the mountain alone.
The talmidim leave in a boat… They had rowed, (vs 19) 25-30 furlongs … and then they see Yahusha walking on the sea to them…
“It is I.  Do not be afraid”  vs 20
They let him in the ship and “immediately” -  “it was where they were going.”

And that created a big stir because there were people there who saw who got into the ship.. and they knew He did not…”

Questions ensued…
25 “Rabbi, when did you come here?”

And in 6:26–51 p 760 He begins to teach…

So let’s go back to our beginning part of the story where Messiah Yahusha fed the multitude.
How did He do it?
This is very important to grasp.

Yochanan 6:8-11 p 760

(It’s interesting to note that it was barley, not wheat.  Barely would have been a poor persons’ grain in that day.)

Verse 11 And Yahusha took the loaves; and when He has said the bracha (blessing), He distributed to the talmidim (disciples)….

Other scriptures say – He took it and said a blessing – gave thanks and broke it.

He gave thanks and distributed it – broke it… and it multiplied!

Giving thanks is absolutely crucial in our lives.
I don’t think we understand this well enough!

Most of you know – that I have a part of some presentations where I talk about the – 21 day gratitude program…. 
            Every day for 21 days (preferably at the same time, so you are more likely to remember it,) you list three things you are thankful for.  You can do it as a list or as a prayer.  (Personally the prayer thing is way more powerful… but you know the Living God honors  things in the ones who do not yet believe J )  Listing very specific things – no repeats.  (So not – I am thankful for my wife.  But, I am thankful for my wife who cleaned up the kitchen after preparing all the food.)   21 days – because it takes that long to begin to form the circuit that the habit will run on.  Then you do it for three more sets of 21 days… and you have a habit!  And this makes a huge difference in lives!


Rabbi Chan also wrote:
Giving thanks is crucial to a life of fullness and blessing.  On top of that, it also gives you the power to perform the miracle of multiplication.
How?
By doing what He did.  You don’t look at how little you have, or how big your problem is or how impossible the situation is.  You don’t panic, you don’t complain, and you don’t get discouraged over not having enough.  You take the little you have, whatever good there is, no matter how small or inadequate it is, and you do what Messiah did.  You lift it up to YHUH and you give thanks for it.  And the blessings you have will multiply, if not in the world, then in your heart.  The more you give thanks, the less you will hunger, and the more full and blessed your life will be. 
So in order to perform miracles, I need to…
Give thanks.  Whatever you have no matter how much or how little.  Give thanks even for what is not enough, and it will multiply to become what is enough … and what is more than enough… Practice this key.  Then get started multiplying your bread.”

I believe YHUH is teaching me about being thankful. 
Thankful for what I have
And thankful for what I do not yet see. 
Over these past days…  things have been very challenging. 
When your body is not well … it isn’t fun, comfortable or a place to find faith… or is it?....

A few weeks ago now… I had started teaching on health using Dr. Jerry Tennant’s work.
And we know that it is easy to get all caught up in the negative of the world and the “medical” community and health.
We must, with all the intensity and emunah (faith) that is in us…. Always be in a place of gratitude for what we have – as we learn to step into more understanding and health. 

We are the broken… our world is broken…
But a remnant survives….  His light is ALWAYS on the earth… until the new heaven and new earth… and then it will be forever… 
Please understand…
This is how we fight.

Now let’s learn some more about health…

**
Jerry Tennant DC – Healing is Voltage is my resource…. 

We talked about:

-        The way stats are done in research publications now…
-        How eating fat – healthy fat-  is very important
-        Ansel Keys – and his publications of his work…  that erroneously said – fats cause heart disease, and cholesterol is a problem…
-        If hypothyroidism is corrected the incidence of heart attacks was 0.26%.
-        The FDA is now giving statin drugs to children!  Despite the fact that the younger you are when your cholesterol is low…  the greater risk of death!
-        Cholesterol does:
o   Repairs injuries, including scars
o   Water proof our cells
o   Makes vitamin D
o   Mineral absorption
o   Electron donor
o   Need for serotonin
o   Have to have it to repair brain.
o   All nerve cells are 50% cholesterol by weight
o   “There is NO WAY you can keep your brain repaired if you take statin drugs.”
-        We talked about coronary artery disease… and explained that his working theory is
“If artery dilates too much, it  opens up a wound in the artery… and that scars… and then plaque is created/collected there as the wound heals…   when the cargo netting that is around the artery fails… elastin and collagen  - is damaged by FLUORIDE. 

There wasn’t much artery disease in USA until we started adding fluoride into our environment. 

-        Zeta potential = the magnetic field that surrounds a particle/ Red Blood Cell
o   As voltage drops, Zeta Potential drops and RBC’s clump
o   This is what the scar is in the artery…
-        Fluoride and hypothyroidism are the main causes of heart disease!
-        Boron is the way to get fluoride out of the body
o   9 mg at bed time. 
o   Inactivates heavy metals
o   Is antifungal
-        Also have to correct iodine levels!
