I am the lord that heal you

Exodus 15:26 “If you diligently heed the voice of the Lord your God and do what is right in His sight, give ear to His commandments and keep all His statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you which I have brought on the Egyptians. For I am the Lord who heals you

“I am the Lord who heals you’ in the Hebrew is ‘Jehovah Rapha’. The names of the Lord starting with Jehovah, in the Old Testament, are called His redemptive names. Through them, God reveals to His people what He was going to restore to them, that had originally been lost in the Fall, in this case health.

The word ‘rapha’ means ‘to cure, heal, repair, mend, restore health’. It is used in the Bible for the healing of physical sickness.

In the context of the Exodus passage, the people are complaining which is a natural human response to tiredness. I can imagine that if we walked for days, were thirsty and came to these bitter pools the feeling we would have of weariness, disappointment, maybe even anger, but they are letting the situation dictate their response. Healing doesn’t come with God responding to our natural reactions but when we respond to God’s supernatural answer. 

God’s answer is for Moses to throw a tree into the water. The tree is a type or prophetic picture of the Cross (1 Peter 2:24). God’s answer is always to put Jesus and His finished work of the Cross into our situations and, in this case, the waters are healed. That this is an example of healing for us is seen in verse 26 when the Lord uses this situation to reveal Himself as the Healer to His people. 

God is not saying that we have to keep His word perfectly in order to be healed but rather when we respond to His truth, a truth that is revealed through Jesus, ‘give ear’ to what He says above that of others and when we respond to the prompting of the Holy Spirit ‘diligently heeding His voice’ we will find that He has made healing fully available to us.

Healing is God’s will for you and God is more willing to heal your body than you’re willing to be healed. God says, “For I am the Lord that healeth thee” – that is present continuous tense.

Healing is God’s will for you and God is more willing to heal your body than you’re willing to be healed. God says, “For I am the Lord that healeth thee” – that is present continuous tense. Present continuous tense is used in a sentence to show an ongoing action, which means God did not only heal in the past, but is still healing today. Beloved, receive healing to your sick body now in Jesus Name, Amen.

It’s your covenant right as a child of God to enjoy both divine healing and divine health. God says, “I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians”. The devil uses the pain of sickness to make you forget that Jesus already paid the price for your healing in full. The Bible said, “After this, Jesus, knowing that all things had already been accomplished, in order that the Scripture might be fulfilled, said, “I am thirsty” (John 19:28). Beloved, no matter the sickness you are suffering from now, Jesus can heal you.

Behind every sickness, there is a spirit known as the spirit of infirmity. In Luke Chapter 13, Jesus healed a woman who had been crippled by a spirit for eighteen years. Her body was bent over and could not straighten up at all. When Jesus saw her, He called her forward and rebuked the spirit that crippled her and she was healed instantly. Beloved, by the authority given to me by Christ, I rebuke every spirit of sickness now in Jesus Name.

When God speaks a word, He will hasten His word to perform it (Jeremiah 1:12). None of God’s promises will fall to the ground. It must be fulfilled in your life (1 Samuel 3:19). God Had promised, “I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians”. Beloved, I pray that the sicknesses of the Egyptians shall be far away from you in this year 2020 in Jesus Name.

The “Egyptian” in this Bible context represents people who have no covenant relationship with Christ. The diseases of the Egyptians today are Cancers, Malaria, typhoid, Arthritis, Waist Pain, eye problem, HIV, High Blood Pressure, Cholera, Fibroid, Tuberculosis, coronary artery disease, Lower respiratory infections, Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, Diabetes mellitus, etc. Beloved, these sicknesses have no legal right of occupancy in your body, and by the authority in the name of Jesus, I serve them quit notice from your body in Jesus Name.

The stripes of Jesus addressed all manner of sicknesses and diseases. Don’t allow the name of that sickness that you are suffering from to frighten you, because Jesus took it upon Himself and carried it away. Your healing is guaranteed in Christ, and there is no shadow of doubt that sickness and disease were covered in Christ’s atonement. If the death of Jesus cannot address your sickness, then the death of Jesus is a waste. As it is written, “This was to fulfil what was spoken through Isaiah the prophet: “HE HIMSELF TOOK OUR INFIRMITIES AND CARRIED AWAY OUR DISEASES” (Mathew 8:17).

If Jesus paid the bill, then we need not pay it. Therefore, we need not accept something that Christ Has taken away. Healing has been made available to you by the death of Jesus on the cross. Jesus bore our sicknesses in His own body on the cross, and by His stripes you are healed. Receive your healing now in Jesus Name.
Today’s Nugget: If Jesus paid the bill then we need not pay it
Prayer: You are healed now in Jesus Name, Amen
