God used a name...Jehovah Rapheka...in exodus whilst taking the children of Israel from bondage. I am the God that heals you. Whenever god uses his name like this it is because he wishes to be remembered as that kind of characater forever.
Whne Jesus came he never preached healing. BUt everywhere he went he never preached without doing healings. He became known as the Healer. He neevr ministered without healing the bodies of people. It was important to him. Also he never sent out his dsisciples to preach without instructing them to heal all the sick people to whom they ministered to by preaching.
Jesus was not just a priest but a minister to the real needs in people's lives. His work was to do this and he asked us to follow Him in this.
He was a real minister...not speaking lofty words but reaching real needs in people's lives. Emotional and physical and mental needs. Demons ...torturous spirits were cast out.Thus helping countless thousands of people. He told his disicples to do the same too..
God bless
