Jehovah Rapha
"If you will diligently listen to the voice of the Lord your God, and do that which is right in his eyes, and give ear to his commandments and keep all his statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you that I put on the Egyptians, for I am the Lord, your healer.” - Exodus 15:26
Jehovah Rapha is Hebrew for God who heals. It first appears in the above passage, Exodus 15:26, and is mentioned throughout the rest of scripture when God declares himself as His peoples healer. The healer of their land, the healer of their hearts, the healer of their bodies, and the restorer of their Spirits!
God is not only names our healer, but through Christ He promises full and complete restoration to His creation. This is what we have access to today!
