JEHOVAH RAPHA

"I am the Lord Your Physician or I am the Lord Your Healer - this name especially was a Name God prophetically spoke about Himself, not one that someone gave Him. Exodus 15:26.


Continued from 2 posts down…

So, what do I know? Not much really. I’m not a theologian and feel as if I’m a total newbie to this whole subject. I’m continuing to pray without ceasing regarding other health issues in my life and will continue to do so until I’m totally healed or God says, “thats enough son, it’s not going to kill you and you don’t need to pray about it anymore”. I just figure, why not? If my sinuses are bothering me (and they are) and Jesus can heal them, why not ask for that? If my blood pressure is still high (and it is), and Jesus can heal that, why not ask Him to do it? So, I am. I ask for everything. I’m not being selfish, just asking as a child would his daddy. The difference is, my Dad can heal from just speaking the word!

Now, I know that some health issues can be controlled with good food and exercise, so I’m focusing on that to help with the blood pressure. If you know something and don’t appropriate it, it’s just being stupid. We all know that if you control your weight and eat fruits and vegetables your heart will benefit, so I’m gonna do all that too. Another thing that really bothers me is having to get up multiple times a night to pee. I sleep good when I’m sleeping but wake up often to relieve myself. It’s something I’ve dealt with for years due to the radiation treatment I took. I am asking the Lord to heal me of that. I would love a full night’s sleep again. One thing I’ve found (as if it’s been a big secret or mystery) is that healing can come through praise. Jesus promised my healing during a praise service and I find now that when I’m alone and in worship I can feel His healing touch. I love to praise and worship Him and I know that He loves to hear it. That kind of relationship cannot help but spawn healing.

But, more than all of these things, I want to be able to pray for others and for them to enjoy the same miraculous healing that I have enjoyed. I am taking a class offered by our church soon on praying for the sick and hurting and I just can’t wait for it to start. I want to learn how to minister to others so that they can find deliverance, peace, healing and salvation.

I know God will not hesitate to grant that prayer.
