… For I am the Lord who heals you. – Exodus 15:26
In Exodus 15, God miraculously provides water to the thirsty Hebrews during their journey to the promised land, Canaan (the future Israel). After proclaiming that they will not experience the disease bought onto Egypt if they follow Him, God states, “For I am the Lord who heals you.”
In Exodus, God used a tree to alleviate the thirst of the Hebrews. The Bible is full of examples of Jesus (God in the flesh) healing people afflicted by various illnesses. His healings and miracles were so widely known, that he drew large crowds from all over the region. Due to the way the news spread and the amount of people desperately gathering to heal Jesus, you can best believe that these healings were the real deal! He even healing those who were dead! Just to name a few…
- Jesus cures the nobleman’s son – John 4:46 – 54
- Jesus cures Peter’s mother-in-law – Mark 1:40 – 45
- Jesus cures the paralytic – Matthew 9:1 – 8
- Jesus raises the widow’s son from the dead – Luke 7:11-18
This list only includes some of the healings that are mentioned in the Bible, one passage even mentions the healings of Jesus as pretty much a footnote (Matthew 9:35). Jesus healed so many people of various illnesses, that the Bible simply says, he healed many people. How can be miraculous healings be mentioned so casually??? It must be a routine thing for God.
Erik, I want you to know that whatever you may go through today, tomorrow, or in the future. God is capable of healing you. You were clinically dead, and God bought you back. If He can do that, He can heal anything! There is so much power in His name, if you are down, just call on it. He will fill in the words that you can’t find. He has already healed your soul, when you confessed Jesus as your Lord and Savior, and He will heal your body. Erik, Jehovah-Rapha, God heals. He’s going to heal you. Don’t give up.
We love you.
– MIke
