Jehova Rapha

Mar 9, 2025    Pastor David Sanders

In this powerful message, we're reminded that God is Jehovah Rapha - the Lord who heals. The central story revolves around Jesus healing the man at the pool of Bethesda in John 5. This narrative challenges us to examine our own faith and readiness for divine healing. Are we, like the man by the pool, making excuses or are we ready to respond when Jesus asks, 'Do you want to be healed?' The message emphasizes that healing is not just physical, but encompasses our spirit and mind as well. It urges us to raise our expectations and faith, reminding us that sometimes healing is immediate when we respond with belief. We're encouraged to be vulnerable before God, acknowledging our need for healing without shame. This teaching invites us to step into a new season of faith, where we actively participate in our healing journey by declaring God's healing power over our lives daily.
