Study Number 14 JEHOVAh ROPHE – THE LORD WHO HEALS


Jesus not only heals physical sicknesses but also emotional wounds. We sometimes wonder why people act as they do. It is because they are broken hearted or wounded in their emotions by some trauma. We read about this in Luke 4:18-19

Luk 4:18  "The Spirit of the Lord is on Me; because of this He has anointed Me to proclaim the Gospel to the poor. He has sent me to heal the broken-hearted, to proclaim deliverance to the captives, and new sight to the blind, to set at liberty those having been crushed,
Luk 4:19  to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord."

And Isa 53:3  He is despised and rejected of men; a Man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief; and as it were a hiding of faces from Him, He being despised, and we esteemed Him not.
Isa 53:4  Surely He has borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed Him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
For those who are grieving the loss of a loved one; then Jesus has carried our sorrows. He was a man of sorrows and He understands grief and loss. I have watched those in Tasmania speaking of at the burned out shell of what was once a home and they have nothing left. Nothing. The loss is tremendous but they can bring it to Jesus and He can heal them. They can start over again. A mother of a family of eight children said, “ At least we are all here. Our home is gone but we all escaped the blaze. You cannot bring back a life.”
Some have experienced the trauma of a marriage breakup and the scars of what has taken place because of betrayal. God can heal them.

Applications.
1.      Jesus is the healer of Broken hearts. Bring your brokenness to Jesus and let Him place his loving hands upon your life and bring healing and wholeness. Emotional healing.
2.      If you are mourning and don’t seem to be able to get over it then the LORD JEHOVAH ROPHE has carried your grief for you. You don’t need to carry it yourself. Believe Him that he understands and has borne your grief. He will bring the relief you need.
