Healer of the Dead

Who is God? Jehovah Rophe...Our Healer

Healer of the Dead

 Jeremiah 17:14 Heal me, O Lord, and I will be healed; save me and I will be saved, for you are the one I praise. (NIV)

 

 

                The prophet Elijah had prophesied to the wicked King Ahab that there would be a lack of rain on the land. King Ahab married an evil woman, Jezebel, and worshipped idols instead of worshipping the true God; therefore, the land endured a drought, which caused plants not to grow and food to be scarce. However, God ensured that His prophet, Elijah, was taken care of during this time by commanding the ravens to feed him. 1 Kings 16:6 The ravens brought him bread and meat in the morning and bread and meat in the evening, and he drank from the brook. (NIV)

               Some time passed and the Lord told Elijah to leave the place where he was because He had commanded a widow to supply Elijah with food. Elijah met the widow and asked for a drink of water and to have something to eat. The widow told Elijah that she only had enough flour and oil for she and her son to have one more meal and then they would prepare to die. However, Elijah let the widow that that her supply of flour and oil would not run dry until God sent rain. The widow obeyed and they all had enough to eat.

               After some time had passed, the widow’s son grew deathly ill. He eventually died. The widow questioned Elijah as to her son’s death feeling as if God had some vendetta against her because of her sins. Elijah told the widow to give her son to him and he carried the boy to his upstairs room. Elijah cried out to Jehovah Rophe for the restoration of life to be brought back into the child’s lifeless body. 1 Kings 17:21 Then he stretched himself out on the boy three times and cried to the Lord, “O Lord my God, let this boy’s life return to him!” Jehovah Rophe heard Elijah’s plea and the boy’s life was restored. Jehovah showed that He is the Life Giver and the Healer of our bodies. Nothing is too hard for God.

            What situation are you facing that you have nearly given up on because it seems to be dead? Do you have an illness and you need good health to arise once again in your life? Do you have a dream that you allowed to die because the fulfillment of it seems too impossible? Has your spiritual life died because you have been too consumed with the things of this world? Is a relationship dead and you are on your way to parting ways? Ask Jehovah Rophe to heal your situation. He is the Creator of Life and He is the Healer of dead situations. What is impossible for man is made possible by and through Jehovah Rophe. All you have to do is believe in Him and have faith. Luke 1:37 For nothing is impossible with God. (NIV)
