You will know Him as Rapha in this season.
There is a healing that God is releasing among His people, not only healing for your body, but healing for your soul, healing for your heart, and healing for the places within you that have been wounded for years.
There are wounds some have carried that no one knows about.
There are scars they have learned to cover so well that even the people closest to them don't know they are there.
They have learned how to worship while hurting.
They have learned how to serve while bleeding.
They have learned how to smile while carrying pain deep within their hearts.
But the Holy Spirit is saying, “I am coming for the places you have hidden.”
As I prayed into this word, I kept hearing, “church hurt.”
There are people who still deeply love the Church, but they have been wounded by the Church.
They love the body, but they carry scars from the body.
They still love Jesus.
They still love His presence.
They still believe in His house.
They still long to see revival.
But something happened.
Words were spoken.
Trust was broken.
And although they continued walking with God, a part of their heart remained wounded.
But the Lord has not forgotten that place.
He is not asking them to pretend it didn't happen.
He is not asking them to minimize what wounded them.
He is not asking them to deny the scar.
He is bringing healing to it.
He is Rapha.
He is healing the disappointment.
He is healing the betrayal.
He is healing the rejection.
He is healing the grief.
He is healing the wounds that happened in places that were supposed to feel like home.
And there are some who have been afraid to let God touch those places because the pain became part of their identity.
They learned to protect themselves.
They built walls around their hearts because they didn't want to be wounded again.
But the Healer is coming near.
The same God who healed their body is able to heal their memory.
The same God who restored their strength can restore their trust.
The same God who brought them through the storm can restore what the storm damaged.
They will discover that God can touch a wound that happened years ago and cause it to stop bleeding.
They will discover that forgiveness does not mean what happened was acceptable, it means the wound no longer has permission to control them.
They will discover that healing does not erase the scar; it changes what the scar means.
And perhaps this is why the Lord is healing His people in this season.
Because He is preparing a people who can love again without fear.
A people who can serve without carrying bitterness.
A people who can worship without pretending.
A people who can walk into His house without being held hostage by what happened in His house.
The Lord is healing His people from the inside out.
And in this season, they will not only know Him as Savior.
They will not only know Him as Provider.
They will not only know Him as Shepherd.
They will know Him as Rapha.
“For I am the LORD who heals you.” Exodus 15:26
