In the Old Testament God revealed himself through names. One of the most meaningful names of God is Jehovah Rapha, I am the Lord who heals you. Illness is the most stressful situation we face. Yet we have the assurance that he is Jehovah Rapha.
The word heal means to save, mend, restore, cure and to cleanse. Healing is for the total person – spirit, mind and body (1 Thess 5:23).
