I am the LORD, who heals you He said, "If you listen carefully to the voice of the LORD your God and do what is right in his eyes, if you pay attention to his commands and keep all his decrees, I will not bring on you any of the diseases I brought on the Egyptians, for I am the LORD, who heals you." (Exodus 15:26) This a promise with 4 conditions to be fulfilled for receiving 2 blessings The 4 conditions were - (1) Carefully listen to God's voice (2) Do what is right in His eyes (3) Pay attention to His commands (4) Keep all his decrees The 2 blessings were - (1) God would not bring on the Israelites any of the diseases He put on the Egyptians (2) God would heal their (Israelites) sicknesses It's sad that many modern Christians would prefer to suffer than meet God's conditions when they are afflicted by sicknesses. Often they are found to be bound by man made doctrines and traditions that threaten to destroy their relationship with Jesus the Savior. Some Christians wander away from God and the power of evil then overshadows them and binds them with sicknesses for long periods. In the above verse God clearly told the Israelites that He is a God who heals but for that to be repeatedly evident in their lives they had to meet certain conditions: Listen carefully, do what is right, pay attention and keep all decrees. God loves you and desires you to be healthy and free from sickness. Remember this day and all through this year that our God is Jehovah Rapha - the God who heals. Read the Word of God and obey it. That will bring health and healing to your body, mind, soul and spirit all through this year. God bless you. |
