Luke 8:26-37
They sailed on and landed in the region of the Gerasenes, which is opposite the Galil. As Yeshua stepped ashore, a man from the town who had demons came to meet him. For a long time he had not worn clothes; and he lived, not in a house, but in the burial caves. Catching sight of Yeshua, he screamed, fell down in front of him and yelled, “Yeshua! Son of God Ha‘Elyon! What do you want with me? I beg you, don’t torture me!” For Yeshua had ordered the unclean spirit to come out of the man. It had often taken hold of him — he had been kept under guard, chained hand and foot, but had broken the bonds and been driven by the demon into the desert. Yeshua asked him, “What is your name?” “Legion,” he said, because many demons had entered him. They begged Yeshua not to order them to go off into the Bottomless Pit. Now there was a herd of many pigs, feeding on the hill; and the demons begged him to let them go into these. So he gave them permission. The demons came out of the man and entered the pigs, whereupon the herd rushed down the hillside into the lake and were drowned. When the swineherds saw what had happened, they fled and told it in the town and in the country; and the people came out to see for themselves. They came to Yeshua and found the man out of whom the demons had gone, sitting — dressed and in his right mind — at the feet of Yeshua; and they were frightened. Those who had seen it told how the formerly demonized man had been delivered. Then all the people of the Gerasene district asked him to leave them, for they had been seized with great fear. So he boarded the boat and returned.-CJB

Luke 8:43-48
a woman who had had a hemorrhage for twelve years, and could not be healed by anyone, came up behind him and touched the tzitzit on his robe; instantly her hemorrhaging stopped. Yeshua asked, “Who touched me?” When they all denied doing it, Kefa said, “Rabbi! The crowds are hemming you in and jostling you!” But Yeshua said, “Someone did touch me, because I felt power go out of me.” Seeing she could not escape notice, the woman, quaking with fear, threw herself down before him and confessed in front of everyone why she had touched him and how she had been instantly healed. He said to her, “My daughter, your trust has saved you; go in peace.” - CJB

Revelation 2:18-21
“To the angel of the Messianic Community in Thyatira, write: ‘Here is the message from the Son of God, whose eyes are like a fiery flame and whose feet are like burnished brass: I know what you are doing, your love, trust, service and perseverance. And I know that you are doing more now than before. But I have this against you: you continue to tolerate that Izevel woman, the one who claims to be a prophet, but is teaching and deceiving my servants to commit sexual sin and eat food that has been sacrificed to idols. I gave her time to turn from her sin, but she doesn’t want to repent of her immorality. -CJB

Amy's Story
Somewhat similar to all of our stories--Amy found herself wounded and desperately needed physical and emotional healing. So she decided to attend a prayer meeting and seek guidance from Yahweh. Amy seriously sought help and going to the prayer meeting. As many of us have found ourselves doing. Wanting to hear just one word. Just one word that would change our whole life. Honestly and sincerely seeking an answer to the issues that hold us in bondage. As Amy pressed on the threshing floor of prayer, by the end of the meeting, Amy was met by an eagerly and willingly older lady. She presumably wanted to help Amy get her spiritual healing. They exchange numbers and eventually began to meet on a daily basis. Amy begins to trust more and more into this woman's super spiritual insight ever lifting God up but never mentioning the name of Yeshua. Their relationship began to grow. The spiritual connection between the two seemed almost surreal. The woman's advice for Amy begins seemingly to changed her life. As Amy begin to become more and more like this lady. Even though Amy was married and had children. They would fellowship more often then a married woman with children should have. To the point where Amy's husband , a hard-working man but less spiritual in the eyes of the woman, began to slowly drift away. Due to the time, the woman would deliberately overspend. Causing resentment and eventual disrespect began to grow towards the husband and Amy's children. By this new found spiritual friend, the more and more they fellowship the more and more that became closer and as one. They began to form their own ministry of healing of other people--thinking that their dynamic duo ministry was flourishing and Yahweh anointed. Until one day a new pastor came in teaching of the Jezebel spirit. Immediately Amy's friend began to accuse that pastor as a false prophet and that they must confront him. Amy decided to write the pastor a letter and give it to him. While being seasoned in dealing with the Jezebel spirit the pastor began to confront, the Jezebel spirit was revealed not in the pastor but in Amy's friend. Amy begin to see her friend for who she was. As well as seeing herself as being under the deception of her friend for years. How her marriage was also under fire and almost nullified because of the relationship with this friend. Eventually Amy sought counsel from this pastor who had experience in dealing with the influences of the Jezebel spirit. Allowing herself the opportunity to receive true healing. Whereas years spent under the delusion of a so-called friend and the influences of this Jezebel spirit.

We find and similarities as going into the scripture. With the story of the woman with the issue of blood. Years and years with the issue of being unclean and alone. Spending the vast majority of her wealth being deceived into thinking that she was going to get healed. Hearing the fact that Yeshua was in the town and healing people. Her desperation and knowledge of the Torah caused her to begin to seek Yeshua out. Thinking to herself if I could just touch the tzitzit or tassels of Yeshua's garment. The prayer shawl that the Rabbi Yeshua wore is likened unto wings.

Malachi 4:2
But unto you that fear My name shall the Sun of Righteousness arise with healing in His wings; and ye shall go forth and grow up as calves from the stall. -KJ21

Familiar with the Torah and the scriptures written in the Torah about the Messiah coming. The woman with the issue of blood new and trusted in faith that just one touch of the tzitzit or tassel of Yeshua's prayer shawl would heal her.

Everywhere Yeshua went. Healing was received, captives were set free and the blind made to see. Even with the story of the man who was possessed by legions of demons. This man had been in possession for years ostracized from the community and dwelt among the tombs of the Dead.
Making himself unclean as well. Interestingly in Hebraic commands--that a rabbi is not to be anywhere near anything that is unclean. The woman with the issue of blood. As well as the man who dwelt among the dead--would be consider themselves by the commandments, as unclean for the rabbi to touch. Yeshua the Master Rabbi the Master Teacher who created all things for his will and his purpose. Healed and restored both of the man possessed by the legions of demons and the woman with the issue of blood.

So in like manner we look unto the author and the finisher of our faith. For the issues that are inside of us to deal with these issues according to Kingdom operation. As we have learned in this book how to confront a Jezebel influence--Yeshua arises with healing in His wings.  To hear this again click here.
