Jehovah Ropha, Healer...What does that mean?

Hmmm, it was one thing to hear, or even read, that God--Jehova Ropha is my healer, but a totally different thing all together to experience it first hand. 

I knew Him as healer of my grandsons body, top to bottom. He was born three months premature, bleed not he brain, etc. Doctor's said he would be a vegetable-bed ridden, feeding tube, not recognize anyone, you get the picture. But he has a praying grandma who quoted Gods healing promises over his life as I walked up and down the stairwell on my breaks as work. It was a gradual healing, but today he's 23, jokes with his family, plays video games, and is very personable. He has some physical issues, but he's not the vegetable the doctors said he would be.

God is a healer of relationships. I can testify to that as well! However, healing in different areas is not automatic, there is Gods part and our part. In my situations it took obedience to do what Holy Spirit was directing me to do--dying to self, and surrendering my will for His. It may take forgiveness or dropping pride, which is a part of surrender as well. It may take a simple phone call to say forgive me. No matter the steps we are directed to take, He is a healer of relationships.

Perhaps it's mental or emotional healing you need, He's a healer of that also. Nothing is too hard for God! Psalm 23:3 He restores my soul... NKJV.  I am a witness that when God restores, things are better than they originally were. It does take renewing our minds with the Word of God, learning who we are in Him! 

If it's a spiritual healing needed, start feeding your spirit the Word of God, read out loud, faith comes by hearting and hearing by the word of God. Start having conversations with God. Whatever the need, the Word of God has the answers. 

So whether it is physical, relational, mental or spiritual, He is Jehovah Ropha, our healer! 

Blessings!
