Let us Praise the Lord!



And again, "Praise the Lord, all you nations! Praise him, all you people of the world!" Romans 15:11
It is good to give thanks to the Lord, to sing praises to your name, O Most High;Psalm 92:1

Oh give thanks to the Lord; call upon his name; make known his deeds among the peoples! Sing to him, sing praises to him; tell of all his wondrous works! Psalm 105:1-2

The mercy of the Lord is new every morning (Lamentation 3). Each day we can find a fresh place to begin. I don’t know about you but I woke up with a song in my heart. I feel this incredible joy. God is good all the times and some other times, he really reveals Himself to us, doesn't He? After everything you have been through in this lifetime, I after all the trials and tribulations, hurt and pain, sickness and disease, you woke up this morning. Glory! Regardless of what I have lined up for a day, I always wake up with joy. I can’t believe God is blessing me with another day. I have to tell you I enjoy life with everything that comes with it (defeat and success, health and illness). All of it is part of the “Living experience”. God decides to bless me with another day and I am going to rejoice in it. It is really hard to rejoice sometimes, but it a lesson that I had to learn. Every day is a blessing. You and I are witnessing history. We are a part of something great, and we know that it is going to be greater when we reach our destination (heaven). Once you understand this truth, you should be able to go through your afflictions with joy knowing what is awaiting is forever. The the tests of this life are temporary but reigning with God is eternal. Let us look forward tomorrow with joy. Praise the Lord!


Friend, I do not know what you are facing this morning, you can be in the middle of the biggest fight of your life. He is still the One who cares and the One who is able.There is no greater than Jehovah, Our God and Creator. There is no other like Him. Your sickness, disease, pain, lack, broken heart, trials and tribulations are not greater than the Almighty God. If you have made a place for Jesus Christ, then God is on your side. He wants to step in. His desire is for you to live a worry free life. He is at the door waiting for you to give Him the green light. It is time to pack the hurt and the pain out of your life, and make room for peace and joy. That is what the good news of Christ is all about. Choose life, choose joy, choose peace, and don't forget to praise the Lord!

Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name.Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies; Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things; so that thy youth is renewed like the eagle's. Psalm 103:1-5

Praise the Lord!

Jehovah Rapha, The Lord That Heals Thee..............



Heal me, O LORD, and I will be healed; Save me and I will be saved, For You are my praise. Jeremiah 17:14

"Surely He has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed Him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted. But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement for our peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed" (Isaiah 53:4-5).

We already know that the Lord wants everyone to be saved (2 Peter 3:9). He also wants us to be well. God cares about every area of our lives. Naturally, our health is very important to Him. Beloved, I pray that in all respects you may prosper and be in good health, just as your soul prospers." 3 John 1:2

My friend, when you are going after your miracle you have to be persistent. You have to submit to God, stay in the word by meditating on healing scriptures, pray in faith, get some elders to pray and anoint you with oil and do not stop believing no matter what you and no matter what the doctors say. Faith is what move the hand of God and not the desperation of the situation, and worry definitely does not move the hand of God. "We do not want you to become lazy, but to imitate those who through faith and patience inherit what has been promised." Hebrews 6:12

Some people get lazy when it comes to going after their miracles. They get tired of reading the word of God and they get tired of praying. God is our Jehovah Rapha, The healer of all diseases not just a few (Ps. 34:6; 3:1-8; II Sam. 22:1-7, 17-20, 31. He is the ultimate promise keeper. He does what He says and says what He means. He gives directions that we must follow if we want to experience His glory. The best attitude is not desperation after diagnosis. God gives a spirit of peace and self-control. When the doctor's report does not match the word of God, you need to believe God. The same power that raised Jesus Christ from death is in you. God is our healer. He heals the common cold as well as Cancer, Diabetes, High Blood Pressure, MS, Dementia and all the others that are rampant in the world. God made our bodies and surely is able to heal. Put your faith in God my friend and you will not be deceived. It is not over until God says it is.

Until our bodies become incorruptible, and as long as this world exists, we will have to suffer some form of disease. Yet, the Lord our God, Jehovah-Rapha, who loves us so very much sent His son to die for our sin and now we have eternal life and we can be healed. God does heal His people from all sicknesses and diseases. He "took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses" (Matt. 8:17). And he clearly tells us how to seek his healing power in our time of need (James 5:14-15). The Bible says that often the Lord heals us of sickness and disease by graciously preventing them (Psalm 91:4-16). Dear friend God cares. He wants you well. You can be well. You shall be well. Go to God.

For years I suffered with digestive issues. Many doctors have misdiagnosed me. Some said I had IBS, others GERD, a few Acid Reflux, and many concluded it must be Stomach Ulcer. They all have their choice of pills, of course. But it wasn't until I brought my burden to the Lord that the real diagnosis came to light.  My Gallbladder was simply full of stones and they had all missed it. Friend, we cannot rely on anyone else but God. God is always the answer. Always go to God with your burdens.  Doctors are gifted. Their gifts come from God. (Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows James 1:17).Our God is the Ultimate Healer. Listen, God heals the physical and the emotional, He heals it all. Go to Him with all your ailments and He will not disappoint you. He is able!


The name of God our Lord and Savior is Jehovah-Rapha. He is "the Lord that healeth thee." Exodus 15:23-26 tells us various things about sickness and divine healing.
Many people are afraid of certain disease because it runs in their family or because someone they love died of it. My dear friend it does not have to be that way. You can choose to trust God. Jesus died to break us free from generational curses. Disease, sickness and pain are not the will of God. They do not come from God. Our heavenly Father is good and only wants the best for us. Do no accept/agree with the liar. Believe the word of God. Trust in the Lord and His ability along with His willingness to heal you. Your health and everything else that concerns you is a priority to God. Trust him to restore health into you. Miracles still happens. You can trust God. He is able and willing to do great things for you. He is not intimidated by the name of the disease. Whatever it is the doctor says the test revealed is not greater than the blood of Christ. Choose life. Choose God' s word and be blessed and be healed!

We are healed and made free when we accept and make the work of Christ on Calvary personal. Jesus suffered those stripes to heal "YOU" personally. He took away your sickness and your pain. Accept your healing by faith and continue to meditate on the healing scripture. Do not be moved by doctor's report no matter what. Cling to the word of God. Meaning: read and meditate constantly. Let the word of God live in your heart until there is no room for doubts. Do not doubt God's healing power. The Lord still heals. He heals our body and our soul. He will heal you. This is the very name of God our Savior, JEHOVAH-RAPHA. "THE LORD THAT HEALETH THEE!"

My son, pay attention to what I say; listen closely to my words. Do not let them out of your sight, keep them within your heart;  for they are life to those who find them and health to a man's whole body.

Praise the Lord!

Psalm 150




Let us praise the Lord today. We will not pray for healing or anything else today. Let us declare today a day of worship and praise. God is merciful and faithful. Let us praise him today for who He is. Thank you Father for your love. Thank you for being you.

Praise God in his sanctuary;
praise him in his mighty heavens.

praise him with the strings and pipe,
5 praise him with the clash of cymbals,
praise him with resounding cymbals.

6 Let everything that has breath praise the LORD.

Praise the LORD.
