Greeting Friends!
Wow, do I have even less time today! Nothing like last minute meetings…
Okay, so God made man right? God is our Maker. So the logic goes; He knows how we are put together and how we work on the inside. He knows exactly how our mind functions, how our emotions play off our thoughts, how to best provide for any and everything we may need to live a happy and meaningful life.
And if we remember just one major attribute of God- it is this, He loves. So, say a person has some troubling condition… what do you suppose God (via He love for us) would want to do for them? I would say make the troubling condition go away… remove it… heal it…
Exodus 15:26
…, “If you diligently heed the voice of the Lord your God and do what is right in His sight, give ear to His commandments and keep all His statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you which I have brought on the Egyptians. For I am the Lord who heals you.”
Here, God is called “JEHOVAH ROPHE”- The Lord Who Heals
Now God certainly can heal if He so wills to… Just look at all the healing Jesus did during His three year ministry. One huge way God heals in our day in age is spiritual… spiritual healing.
Frankly, any true believer has been healed in a miraculous way… healed from spiritual death!
Ephesians 2:1
And you (true believers) He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins.
And the motivation to do so was love…
Ephesians 2:4-5
But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love for us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved)…
Oh, thank you so much Jehovah Rophe! Why are You so loving?
1. Do you have a healing story to tell?
2. What is the cancer that affects us all?
3. Would you go to the Divine Doctor if you knew you were sick?
Peace,
Jim
