In the book of Exodus, God reveals His covenant
keeping name of Jehovah-Rapha means “the
Lord who heals”
• God describes himself
as a God of healing. The name Jehovah-Rapha indicates
that healing
flows out from the nature of God.
• It is the very personality of God’s
to bring healing and health to His covenant people.
• It is God’s heart
to heal because that is who He is. You can not separate
healing from
God.
• When something is part
of our nature-then it is part of us.
• You can not separate our nature from ourselves-our
nature is who we are.
• It is the personality that makes us who we are.
• The same is with God.
You can not separate healing from who he is. He is
a God who heals
His people.
• Healing is His nature—you can’t
take that away from Him. Hebrews 13:8
• Isa. 35:3-6,, Isaiah
61:1-2
• In this chapter, Isaiah was showing what the purpose
of the Messiah would be when He came.
•
In Luke 4:18-19 Jesus quotes the same passage from
Isaiah 61 and says, “today this scripture
is fulfilled in your hearing.
• I am the Messiah who
was promised…
• Faith problem:
• Luke 7:20 John the Baptist sent us to you
to ask, Are you the one who was to come, or should we expect someone else.
Do you detect a wavering of
faith there? The amazing thing is that he doesn’t
try
to hide his doubt-he is honest.
Luke 7:21-23
• We are His expression
on the earth today. We are His ambassadors and represent
Him on the
earth because we carry His authority. Amen. Amen.
