Jehovah Rapha

“ …for I, the Lord, am your healer.”

Exodus 15:26d

 It is God’s will to heal all afflictions until the day and time of perfect healing. 

Lord, if You are willing You can make me clean.  And He stretched out His hand and touched him, saying, “I am willing; be cleansed.”  And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.

Matthew 8:2-3

 Many never experience that healing touch of God because they never ask.  Faith will push you to boldness, in approaching the throne of grace to receive a touch of His holiness.

And they began to entreat Him that they might just touch the fringe of His cloak; and as many as touched it were cured.

Matthew 14:36

 They reached out in faith, not doubt, to be healed.  They were not attempting to see if it would work, they believed it would work.  Their faith allowed them to experience the miracle of healing, from the One who heals.

 And Jesus said to the centurion, “Go your way; let it be done to you as you have believed.”  The servant was healed that very hour.

Matthew 8:13

 The name Jehovah Rapha is Hebrew for “The Lord that Heals.”  The olive branch is a biblical symbol for healing and peace.  When you need a healing touch from the Lord, many times peace is also needed.  Peace to trust and believe that God is truly in control.
