THE
LORD IS YOUR PHYSICIAN
In the 39th year of King Asa's rule, he was
diseased in his feet until his disease was very critical.
Yet, in his disease, he did not seek the Lord, but went to
the physicians for help. He died two years later. You can
read about that in 2 Chronicles 16:11-13.
There is nothing wrong with going to physicians
or seeking medical help or advice. But what we should
do is seek the Lord first to see what he wants us to do. He
may want to heal us by His sovereign power, over a period of time,
or instantaneously.
HEALTH AND HEALING
Key Benefits:
You must know that healing
belongs to you.
There is no need for you to
depart from health.
You can be healed ... walk in
health ... and help others to do the same.
The dictionary defines "
disease" as: 1)
any departure from a state of health;
2)
a disordered condition of mind
or body marked by definite symptoms.
To be at "ease" is to be FREE from pain or any
discomfort, including anxiety and stress. "Dis-ease" is the
opposite.
In the Holy Bible, G-d
promised MORE than healing for his people. He promised
DIVINE HEALTH: freedom from disease!
"If you will carefully listen to the voice of
the Lord your G-d, and will do that which is right in his sight,
and will give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I
will put none of these diseases upon you … for I am the LORD that
heals you." (TORAH: Exodus 15:26)
Notice the last phrase: "I am the LORD that
heals you." The Hebrew passage is saying, "
I am Jehovah Rapha.” The Hebrew word
“
rapha” means “
cure, heal, physician, make whole.”
Literally, this passage is saying, “
I am YHWH your physician.” It is
wonderful to be able to claim G-d’s promises for divine healing,
but it is even better to walk in
divine HEALTH: not needing to be
healed!
Exodus 23:25 says, "And you shall serve the LORD
your G-d and he shall bless your bread, and your water; and I will
take sickness away from the midst of you."
When sickness is "away" from you, then you
have HEALTH. Thank G-d, it is his will for YOU to walk in
divine health just as much as it is for your soul to be saved. In 3
John (Yochanan), verse 2, (of the Brit Chadasha) - a passage of
scripture which is written to Hebrew Christians and Gentile
Christians - the Holy Bible says:
"Beloved, I wish above all things that you
may prosper AND BE IN HEALTH, even as your soul
prospers.”
I’m going to pray for you!
