Jesus spent His time on earth forgiving people of their sins and healing them of their physical ailments. In Hebrew, rapha means “to heal,” so Jehovah Rapha means “the Lord who heals.” 

There are many scriptures in the Bible that talk about healing. We can read these to build up our faith in God’s healing power and also use them as weapons of our warfare by declaring them over ourselves and our loved ones who are struggling with health issues.

Healing Scriptures

Exodus 15:26 (KJV): “And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the Lord thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the Lord that healeth thee.” (Jehovah Rapha – the Lord that healeth thee)

Isaiah 53:4-5 (NLT): “Yet it was our weaknesses he carried; it was our sorrows that weighed him down. And we thought his troubles were a punishment from God, a punishment for his own sins! (5) But he was pierced for our rebellion, crushed for our sins. He was beaten so we could be whole. He was whipped so we could be healed.Yet it was our weaknesses he carried; it was our sorrows that weighed him down. And we thought his troubles were a punishment from God, a punishment for his own sins!”

Matthew 8:5-8 (NLT): “Now when Jesus had entered Capernaum, a centurion came to Him, pleading with Him, saying, (6) ‘Lord, my servant is lying at home paralyzed, dreadfully tormented.’ (7) And Jesus said to him, ‘I will come and heal him.’ (8) The centurion answered and said, ‘Lord, I am not worthy that You should come under my roof. But only speak a word, and my servant will be healed.’”

Mark 16:17-18 (NLT): “And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”

James 5:13-15 (NLT): “Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray. Is anyone cheerful? Let him sing psalms. (14) Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. (15) And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.
