He Is Still Jehovah Rapha

Exodus 15:26
26“… I am the Lord who heals you.”

Do you know that the first compound name that the Lord revealed to the Israelites after they came out of Egypt was Jehovah Rapha, the Lord who heals you? It was as if He was telling them, as they began their new life with Him, that He had already healed them of all the diseases and pains they suffered when they were in bondage in Egypt. Indeed, when He brought them out of Egypt, “there was none feeble among His tribes”. (Psalms 105:37)

Today, just as the Israelites were delivered from their bondage in Egypt and slavery to Pharaoh, you have also been delivered from the bondage of sin and sickness, and from slavery to the devil, by the blood of the Lamb. And the Lord, who is the same yesterday, today and forever, will still tell you, “I am the Lord who heals you.”

A church member, who was experiencing pain in her womb for several months, looked to Jesus as her healer. She finally went to see a doctor, who performed an ultrasound scan on her womb. When told that she had two big tumours and blood cysts in her womb, she continued to look to Jesus as her healer. The doctor then had her blood tested to see if the tumours were cancerous.

Three days later, she saw the doctor again and was told that the tumours were not cancerous. Not only that, another ultrasound scan showed that all the cysts and one of the tumours had completely disappeared! The other tumour had shrunk. Although she had taken medication, the doctor told her that based on the size of the tumour, it should have taken months. He commented that this was the quickest healing he had ever seen!

Beloved, if the doctor has given you a bad report regarding your health, don’t despair. Look to Jesus and expect healing for your body. He is the same yesterday, today and forever. He is still Jehovah Rapha — the Lord who heals you!
