Jehovah the Healer

"I am Jehovah that healeth thee" was God’s word to Israel as they passed triumphantly through the Red Sea. He is Jehovah Rapha, Jehovah the Healer. He heals the soul of the wounds that sin has made; He gives strength to the weakened will; He renews the moral fiber crushed and macerated by lawlessness; He restores the unbalanced mind, poisoned by the virus of sin; He re-creates the leprous, sin-corrupted soul into His own divine image. "I am Jehovah that healeth thee." Besides working these mighty miracles for character, He often heals the body. He quickens our mortal body by His indwelling Spirit. Rom. 8:11. He is as able to-day to heal all bodily ills in response to faith as when He walked by Galilee, in Capernaum, by the Pool of Bethesda, or at the grave of Lazarus. The virtue is in Him; it needs simple living faith to grasp its divine potency.
