CENTRAL THOUGHT: Healing is the children’s bread.   TEXT: Isaiah 53: 4-5; Mark 7:24-30; James 5:13-18.   INTRODUCTION God revealed Himself to Israel as their Healer from the beginning, one of the divine names revealing God’s character and name is YAWEH (Jehovah) Repheka ‘the Lord your physician;’   which is translated in Exodus 15:26, ‘the Lord that health thee’ [Jehovah-Rapha]. The psalmist David saw Him as the One who as part of His benefits heals all our diseases, or more literally, the physician for all thy diseases(Psalm103:3).

God is the only One who guarantees full protection to any man who depends on Him. The LORD is more than able to do this because His is the Almighty, Omniscient and Omnipresent God. The word of God declares “for the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on the behalf of them whose heart is perfect towards Him.”, 2 Chronicles 16:9.  Rather...
