Jehovah Rapha

Jeremiah 17:14

Lord, heal me, and I will truly be healed.

Again, the Israelites complained to God because they felt they didn't have enough food and drink. Because of their complaints, God sent poisonous snakes into the camp to bite the people and the people would die. Eventually, the people of Israel went to Moses and repented. Moses prayed, but God did not take away the snakes. Instead, he told Moses to make a bronze snake and put it on a pole.

Whoever had been bitten by a snake and then looked at the bronze snake on the pole, would be healed. But if they did not look at it, they would die. Their faith in God by obeying God's instruction would save them. 

Because of their faith, God healed the people as He is Jehovah Rapha which means God Who Heals. If you are not feeling well or if you know someone who needs healing, pray to God with your faith and believe that the illness will be healed by our Jehovah Rapha!
