Yahweh-Rophe,
The LORD Who Heals
     Exodus 15:22-27
   2 Corinthians 4:7-18
Exodus 15:22-26

Then Moses made Israel set out from the Red Sea,
 and they went into the wilderness of Shur. They
 went three days in the wilderness and found no
 water. 23 When they came to Marah, they could not
 drink the water of Marah because it was bitter;
 therefore it was named Marah. 24 And the people
 grumbled against Moses, saying, “What shall we
 drink?” 25 And he cried to the LORD, and the
 LORD showed him a log, and he threw it into
 the water, and the water became sweet.
Exodus 15:22-26, cont

There the LORD made for them a statute and a
 rule, and there he tested them, 26 saying, “If you
 will diligently listen to the voice of the LORD
 your God, and do that which is right in his eyes,
 and give ear to his commandments and keep all
 his statutes, I will put none of the diseases on
 you that I put on the Egyptians, for I am the
 LORD, your healer.”
The meaning of the name:
Yahweh-Rophe depicts God as the Lord
 who redeems us from the effects of sin
and brings life, wholeness, and salvation
                  to us
The Biblical View of Healing
   Wholistic world view – not compartmentalized
   Pre-scientific – but not ignorant. They had no
    class of physicians but were proactive in treating
    sicknesses.
   Rural – farm animals – common sicknesses were
    skin infections
   Sickness meant an absence of wholeness
   Healing meant wholeness – Rapa and Rophe in
    Hebrew
Healing in the Old Testament
   Diseases – Psalm 103:3, “Who forgives all your sins and
    heals all your diseases.”
   The earth, farm land – 2 Chron. 7:14, “And heal their
    land.” Aretz refers to the land, Aretz Israel.
   The Salt Sea (Dead Sea) – Ezek. 47:8, “The waters there
    become fresh.” Rapha is used.
   The broken-hearted – Psalm 147:3, “He heals the
    brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.”
   Preventive Healing – Exodus 15:25-26, “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.”
Healing in the Old Testament
   Spiritual Healing – Psa. 41:4, “Heal me, for I have sinned
    against you”;
   Isaiah 6:10: “Otherwise they might see with their eyes,
    hear with their ears, understand with their hearts, and
    turn and be healed.”
   Jeremiah 3:22: “Return, faithless people; I will cure you
    of backsliding.”
   Also Isaiah1:5-6; 6:10; 30:26; 53:4-5; Jeremiah 3:22; 8:22;
    30:12-17;
   Hosea 6:1; 14:4, “I will heal their waywardness and love
    them freely.”
   Heavenly Healing – Ezekiel 47:11-12:
Healing in the New Testament
   Broad meaning – wholeness: Matthew 4:24, “People
    brought to him all who were ill with various diseases,
    those suffering severe pain, the demon possessed, those
    having seizures, and the paralyzed, and he healed them.”
   Spiritual problems – Mark 2:17, “It is not the healthy
    who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call
    the righteous, but sinners.”
   Gifts of healing – 1 Corinthians 12:9
   Heavenly healing – Revelation 22:2, “And the leaves of
    the tree are for the healing of the nations. No longer will
    there be any curse…”
In the wilderness…
   Disappointment at Marah: after deliverance
    from Egypt they experienced disappointment in
    the Wilderness
   Deliverance – healing: despite the bitterness of
    the water, God made it sweet and drinkable
   Identity – a new name of God was given:
    Yahweh-Rophe or the LORD who heals.
1. The Disappointments of Life
                    Deliverance from
                     Egypt did not
                     prevent bitter
                     experiences in the
                     wilderness.
                    After salvation, how
                     do we get rid of the
                     bitterness of our
                     soul?
What do we do with our
            disappointments?
   The Blame Game – you, him, them?
   The Spiritual Shopping Trip – trying to find a
    better offer
   Go back to Egypt? Forsaking Christ? Can we
    return to our lost condition?
   The Internalization of Bitterness – stiff upper lip
    and a hard bitter heart
   Is someone supposed to make us happy?
2. The Healing of the Waters
                    Moses cried out to
                     the LORD, in faith
                    A piece of wood,
                     an image of the
                     cross
                    When Christ is
                     brought into the
                     picture, God can
                     bring healing
Israel’s Deliverance and Healing
Israel                         Us today
   Deliverance from              Delivered from Sin at
    enslavement in Egypt           Salvation
   Healing and provision in      Wilderness Wanderings
    the wilderness                 depict the carnal
    wanderings                     Christian life
   Final victory as they         Final Victory is the life of
    entered the Promised           surrender
    Land                          Heb 4:3,9-11
3. A New Name was given
   Moses and the nation of Israel had a new
    understanding of God. He not only delivers but
    He heals.
   God is always relevant for our lives
   The question is whether our lives are relevant to
    the plans and purposes of God
How to receive God’s inner
               healing
   All God’s healing is mediated by Christ and
    achieved by the cross. Sufficient grace is
    available to cover the sins of the whole world.
   Faith is required on our part.
   Inner healing is the victory of God over our
    hurts, our wounds, our fears, our worries.
   Some healing experiences take time to be
    completely received and experienced.
Healing through resting in Him
   Healing of resting in Him: Matthew 11:28, “and
    you will find rest for your souls.” Rest was one
    of the main ways people were treated for
    illnesses.
   We can find soul rest and soul health through
    ceasing to struggle to impress God or to earn
    His love, and trust in His love for us and in His
    salvation offered for us through grace.
Healing through holiness in our
                 lives
   By pursuing holiness our lives are healthier.
   “…and give ear to his commandments and keep
    all his statutes, I will put none of the diseases on
    you…”
   1 Peter 3:10-11: “Whoever would love life and
    see good days must keep their tongue from evil
    and their lips from deceitful speech. They must
    turn from evil and do good; they must seek
    peace and pursue it.”
Healing through forgiving others
   James 5:16: “Therefore confess your sins to each
    other and pray for each other so that you may be
    healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful
    and effective.”
   Forgive others, and ask for their forgiveness.
    Confess your faults to others. Stubbornness in our
    hearts causes soul sickness and often physical
    sickness.
   And Pray – the exercise of prayer is one of the most
    helpful things we can do for our spiritual health.
Healing through giving
   Luke 6:38: “Give and it shall be given unto you.”
   2 Corinthians 8:7: “Just as you excel in
    everything – in faith, in speech, in knowledge, in
    complete earnestness and in your love for us –
    see that you also excel in this grace of giving.”
   2 Cor. 9:11: “You will be made rich in every way
    so that you can be generous on every occasion.”
A lesson from John D…
          John D. Rockefeller
          World’s first Billionaire at 43
           years of age!
          At 53 years of age his health
           was so bad he lived on crackers
           and milk. He enjoyed nothing.
          Ida Tarbell wrote, “He was the
           oldest man I have ever seen.”
          He changed his purpose in life
           from getting to giving.
A lesson from John D
   “Turn your thoughts upon the higher things of
    life. Be of service to humanity. Turn your
    thoughts into channels of usefulness; look
    forward to a determination that something
    useful shall come out of your success…Do
    everything you can for the betterment of your
    fellow-men and in doing this you will enjoy life
    the better.”
   He lived to be 97 years old.
