DON'T FIGHT BATTLES BEFORE YOU ARE HEALED!

Many of us have spent thousands of dollars for remedies that have not cured the source of our pain. Having tried so hard and struggled so mightily, it's wonderful to learn there is Someone who not only has the desire but also has the power to heal us in our emotional, physical, spiritual and financial. The Bible has much to say about God as our Healer.

The Bible describes God as "Jehovah-Ropha" more than 60 times. Jehovah means “God” and Rapha means “to restore,” “to heal,” or “to make healthful.”

Healer is an integral part of God’s character. God cares about every area of your health — your physical health, your mental and emotional well-being as well as your spiritual vitality (Psalm 103:2-3). When we understand that God is Jehovah-Ropha, the Great Physician, we recognize that no healing happens apart from Him. Only He can provide lasting healing from our brokenness.

So often, we want the healing without the dealing. But God has to deal with the source of our pain — the rejection, the hurt, or perhaps the betrayal — to heal us. 

Now you can fight the battles of this world because you are healed through our Lord Jesus Christ!
