"If you listen carefully to the voice of the LORD your God and do what is right in his eyes, if you pay attention to his commands and keep all his decrees, I will not bring on you any of the diseases I brought on the Egyptians, for I am the LORD who heals you." Exodus 15:26 |
"Bless the Lord, O my soul; and all that is within me, bless His Holy Name. Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: Who forgives all your iniquities; who heals all thy diseases. Who satisfies your mouth with good things; so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's." Psalm 103:1,2,3,5 |
40 years in the desert the Jew's clothes did not wear out their feet did not swell Moses never aged: at 120 years of age His eyes were not dim nor his natural force abated Awesome! Deuteronomy 8:4, 34:7 |
Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that you break every yoke? Is it not to deal your bread to the hungry, and that you bring the poor that are cast out to your house? when you see the naked, that you cover him and that you hide not yourself from your own flesh? Then shall your light break forth as the morning, and your health shall spring forth speedily." Isaiah 58:6-8 |

We fear sickness We fear disease We fear cancer most of all but the truth about cancer is it cannot cripple love it cannot shatter hope it cannot corrode faith it cannot eat away peace it cannot destroy confidence it cannot shut out memories it cannot destroy love it cannot silence courage it cannot invade the soul it cannot lessen the power of the resurrection it cannot quench the spirit it cannot kill eternal life |
God designed us to live forever but not in these corruptible bodies |
It is soul sickness, spiritual disease that God wants most to heal, that's why Jesus lived and died and lives forever in order that we might be healed. the condition of our spiritual health determines our physical health The Word of the Lord is like a balm soothing, healing, refreshing, restoring, strengthening |
All of us have experienced the brokenness of a friendship or close relationship. We wonder what happened, why did they do this to me. Always remember that the Lord is Jehovah Rapha and He can heal a broken heart. He knows exactly what you're going through. He's been down that road before all because of you and me. He was despised and rejected by men (the truth is, He still is today). His best friends deserted Him; they were nowhere near Him when He was placed on a cruel cross for something He did not do. And before that ordeal was over Jesus perceived that even His Father had forsaken Him: "My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?!" Don't you think that might give Him some perspective on a broken heart? Many people may say that it was the spear in His side that killed Jesus when He was on the cross. Others say He died when he was fully dehydrated. Other say, He died because of the great blood loss from the crown of thorns and stripes on His back. I believe that Jesus died on the cross of Calvary in part from a broken heart. He was carrying the weight of the world upon Him. He knows what it is to carry a heavy burden. He's been there. He knows what it is to give your all and still be rejected and forsaken. Because He knows, He can identify with your hurt and He can heal it. Jehovah Rapha is right where you are; He is the friend of a wounded, broken heart, and the only cure for it. Friends may fail you, your family may fail you, people you trust the most may fail you, but Jesus Christ will never fail you, and He longs to heal you, inside and out. |
"If I could just touch the hem of His garment, I would be healed." And she was. Jesus is still the Great Physician never off duty always on call He will give you a transplant - a new heart He will give you an infusion - His Holy Spirit He will give you a good prognosis: Eternal life "Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin Purge me with hyssop and I shall be clean, wash me and I shall be whiter than snow. Make me to hear joy and gladness that the bones which You have broken may rejoice. Create in me a clean heart, O God and renew a right spirit within me." Psalm 51 |
Death itself cannot separate believers in Jesus Christ from the love of God Death is the ultimate healing for only through physical death can we receive the incorruptible, eternal bodies He has promised and with that the Glory of His Presence eternally. |
