Open Heaven Daily Devotional 18 Dec 2024 Message

God’s titles assure us of what we can expect from Him. For example, one of His titles is found in Exodus 15:26, where He says, “… I am the Lord that healeth thee.” 

This assures believers that no matter how terrible a sickness is, Jehovah Rapha can heal them.

Medical doctors have different areas of specialization, and it is standard practice for a doctor to refer patients to other doctors who are considered more knowledgeable and qualified to handle certain ailments. This happened to the woman with the issue of blood in Mark 5:25-34. Doctors kept referring her to other doctors until she had spent all that she had. One day, however, she came in contact with the Great Physician – the One who never refers a case – and that day, she got her healing.

Jesus Christ secured your healing when he was severely beaten and crucified (Isaiah 53:5). He took the stripes from the Roman soldiers so that you can confidently say that sickness and pain have no place in your body. He took your infirmities with Him to the grave; this means that they are gone forever.

Henceforth, I want you to know God as the God that heals you. When you read passages like Matthew 8:16 or Luke 6:19, you will see that Jesus Christ healed ALL that came to Him.

There was no sickness that was difficult for Him to heal, and there was no person with too many sicknesses that He couldn’t heal. If you have been dealing with any sickness or disease in your body, approach the Great Physician, He will surely heal you completely.

You must note, however, that healing is the bread of God’s children (Mark 7:24-29). If you are not a child of God, or if you are professing to be a Christian but you are still living in sin, do not expect healing from Him. If God heals an unbeliever or a Christian who is not living holy, it is because He wants such a fellow to let go of the sins in his or her life. If the fellow does not repent and forsake his or her sins, it is very likely that a worse sickness will come upon the fellow. This was the warning that Jesus gave the man He healed at the pool of Bethesda in John 5:14.

Beloved, your healing has already been provided by Jesus. Surrender yourself completely to Him and walk in this divine right; He is the One that heals you.

Prayer Point
Father, thank You for being my healer. Please take away every form of sickness or pain in my body.

HYMN Great Physician Now Is Near 

1 The great Physician now is near,
the sympathizing Jesus;
He speaks the drooping heart to cheer,
oh! hear the voice of Jesus.

Refrain:
Sweetest note in seraph song,
sweetest name on mortal tongue;
sweetest carol ever sung,
Jesus, blessed Jesus.

2 Your many sins are all forgiven,
oh! hear the voice of Jesus;
go on your way in peace to heaven,
and wear a crown with Jesus. [Refrain]

3 All glory to the risen Lamb!
I now believe in Jesus;
I love the blessed Savior’s name,
I love the name of Jesus. [Refrain]

4 His name dispels my guilt and fear,
no other name but Jesus;
oh! how my soul delights to hear
the charming name of Jesus. [Refrain]
