God: Our Healer


 He made us – He is our healer

When we meet His conditions and obey His instructions, he keeps us healthy. We can see how this was demonstrated by God when He told Moses to lead the children of Israel out of Egypt, and out of their cruel bondage.

For a while, (three days) the Israelites rejoiced, and celebrated their new freedom. Moses’ own sister, Miriam, the prophetess, led the festivities (Exodus 15:20, 21). But then, when fresh drinking water began to be scarce and there was rationing, everyone started to grumble and complain (v.22-24). Well, now wasn’t that a crying shame! How soon they forgot God’s mercy! Here He had saved them from countless years of slavery and abuse, they were now free… but, there’s no good-tasting water for them to drink. Excuse me! Moses cried out to God for the people, and God showed Moses a tree, and Moses threw the tree into the bitter waters of Marah, and the water was made sweet to drink.

During this difficult time, God spoke to His people through Moses. It was then He revealed another name for Himself. God determined this would be a name they would always remember. A name to always encourage them:

…There he proved them, and said, “if thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the Lord, thy God, and wilt do that which is right in His sight, and wilt give ear to His commandments, and keep all His statues, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the Lord that healeth thee” [Jehovah-Repheka] (Exodus 15:25, 26).

I have heard people say: “I have prayed those Scriptures, but why am I not healed?” “Why did my sister die? “We all prayed for my friend’s baby girl, and she still died!”

I can’t explain “why?” I just know we will have to wait until we are with God in heaven. Maybe then we will understand. However, many of our “Why?” questions can be answered here on earth now, if we consider how we are living our lives, and compare our disciplines with God’s Word, and learn more of how He expects us to live our lives. We read His benefits, but tend to neglect His conditions. It’s not too late for us to change!

This I do know, our Healer; Jehovah-Repheka, loves us and wants us to be healthy, and healed of all our diseases (Psalm 103:3). He who; “Redeems your life from destruction, who crowns you with loving kindness and tender mercies” (v. 4).

The truth is; the will of God is to heal us of all our illnesses, that He may be glorified in our healing. So keep your faith, keep praying…I am believing with you in your healing!

Apostates Predicted

Sensual persons who cause divisions   I quote from the Book of Jude, a bondservant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, who was addressing those who were called , sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ. In verses 16 through 19, Jude warned of apostates who would come around and make themselves known. He described them as grumblers, complainers, walking according to their own lusts , to use Jude’s own words. He went on to describe them as those who would be mouthing swelling words, flattering to gain advantage . Jude continued saying, “But you beloved, remember the words which were spoken before the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ: how they told you there would be mockers in the last time who would walk according to their own ungodly lusts. Fast-forward now to today; to our present time, the year 2012. How is this book (Jude) of very few words; the little book which precedes the last book of the Bible; Revelation relevant to our (contemporary...

By His Authority

God has given His authority. God’s plan for authority has been given to His people: authority in the church (1 Peter 5:1-2) which says, “shepherd the flock of God which is among you;” authority in the home (Colossians 3:18-25,) “Wives submit to your own husbands, as is fitting in the Lord, as is fitting in the Lord;” authority in your workplace (Ephesians 6:5-9) “Bondservants, be obedient to those who are your masters…; and authority in civil government (Romans    13:1-7) “Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God….” Authority as planned by God seems awkward and unfitting in today’s societies – not that His plan is inappropriate, certainly this is not true. It is more that people have deviated from God’s plan to what seems more suited to their personal lives for whatever reasons they justify. It is it any wonder we have dysfunctional families, government and na...

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 ...
