"I Am." Your Healer

One of the many names of God is; Jehovah Rapha, God who heals. In Exodus 15:26 He declares; “I am the Lord, who heals you.”

Throughout the Bible there are many wonderful references of how He healed those who were sick and suffering. There was the blind man, the woman who could not stand up straight, the man with palsy, the boy with seizures, the centurion’s child who was dying and the list goes on. God has shown the world how much He cares about our physical and spiritual health, and He has never stopped healing!

We can and should pray with all faith that He will heal us. But, when our healing is not when and how we expect it we should not become discouraged. God’s healing is not always as dramatic or instantaneous like we may see on some televised ministries. Sometimes His healing is slow allowing us to come closer to Him through prayer and meditation in His Word. He wants us to become more spiritually involved with Him during our healing process. 

There is also death, but we must remember death has no sting for the believer, for it is written in (1 Corinthians 15:55) "Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?" In truth death is our doorway to eternal life– our reward of eternal health and wholeness because Jesus has prepared the way for us!

What healing are you in need of today? May I say faith is our effective prescription for our healing. It is more than your remedy, it is your solution. Without faith there can be no healing. Whether it is faith in your doctor, your prescription or your God you must have faith! By all means have faith in God! He is our healer.

Our Walk With God

“Listen, my son, accept what I say, and the years of your life will be many. I guide you in the way of wisdom and lead you along straight paths. When you walk, your steps will not be hampered, when you run, you will not stumble” (Proverbs 4:10-12). Our lives are built upon our first step, and   then proceed step after step after step thereafter. As infants we learn to crawl, then stand and eventually to walk to the waiting hands of our proud fathers and mothers. Our walking skills can develop into running skills; some of us will go on to run races, some will even run long distance marathons, but it all begins first with our desire to walk. The Lord tells us to listen to what He says to us through His Holy Spirit and the years of our lives will be many; as we go through life, our steps will not be hampered; when we hurry through our impossible daily schedules and race through our lives, we will not stumble.   All successful runners have a professional trainer, our trainer is ...

God’s Family

He provides resources for the family “For You, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive, and abundant in mercy to all those whom call upon You” (Psalm 86:5). God’s plan for marriage and the family, in the Bible, is intended to be ideal, full of prosperity for every member. Would you say this describes your family? Maybe, maybe not, however, even if your family has missed His mark His Word deals with life realistically. Many of us experience some aspect of failure or serious disappointment with the way our family is living. Many families today are divided by divorce or living as single-parent family units. God alone can provide the needed resources and the loving care vital for the needs of these families who are dealing with life. If you are having trouble in your family turn to Jesus. He is your primary resource for forgiveness and your hope for renewal (Ephesians 1:7).   He forgives no matter if the failure is yours or it is one of those times when someone else fails yo...

God never changes who He is

The popular cry of the people here in America today is for “change.” Yet in some parts of the world there are those who use all means, including terrorism to resist it. There are some people who are determined to leave ancient traditions, and often times, corruptible governments just as they are, and have been for hundreds of thousands of years. Many of these nations do not recognize God. God is always the same; today, tomorrow, and forever. He never changes; this knowledge about Him enables us to have total reliability in Him. His character is as follows: God is omnipotent . All power is His, and nothing is beyond His control. He enforces His perfect will. He is unstoppable by any force in heaven or on earth! God is omnipresent. He is everywhere imaginable and unimaginable all at the same time! No person or place is beyond His presence. Space and time are before Him always. He determines everything for all places and all persons. God is omniscient. All that is happening to all ...
