His Name Heals!

Ex 15:26

26 and [God] said,"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 [Jehovah Rapha]."
NKJV

Mark 16:17-18

17 And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues;
18 they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover."
NKJV

Acts 3:6

6 Then Peter said, "Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk.

My Comments:

Another Name of God in the Old Testament was Jehovah Rapha, or "The Lord Your Healer". Divine healing was an important part of the Old Testament as it showed God as more than able of taking care of His people in the midst of sicknesses and disease.

There are at least 25 different instances in the four Gospels of Jesus healing all kinds of sickness and disease which shows both His ability and His willingness to heal anyone who would come to Him! Healing the sick continued all the way into the book of Acts, and the Apostles state clearly in the Epistles that the sick can be healed. If it was found in the Old Testament through to the New Testament, we can be sure that it is still for us today!

Healing is more than just physical healing! It involves deliverance from mental torment and any other work of the Enemy in our lives that we suffer from!

We therefore can be confident that healing is in the Name of Jesus! We know that when we come to God in times of sickness, we have this assurance that the Name of Jesus contains healing for us today!
