AskFOI: Names of God Series: Jehovah Rapha

Continuing our series within AskFOI on the names of God, we look at the Hebrew name Jehovah Rapha, the God Who Heals. First revealed in Exodus after Israel’s deliverance from Egypt, this name shows us a powerful truth about God’s character: He is the source of all healing. We’ll look at the biblical context of Jehovah Rapha, what it meant for Israel in the wilderness, and how God demonstrated His healing power throughout Scripture—from physical restoration to spiritual renewal. We’ll also explore the hard question: If God is the Healer, why doesn’t He always heal? Whether you are familiar with this name or hearing it for the first time, this study will deepen your understanding of God’s nature and encourage you to trust Him.
