Well, I felt like last Sunday that we ended on a good high note on real faith and that we should begin a new series this morning.

Go with me to Exodus, the 15th chapter.

In Exodus 15, 26, Exodus 15 and 26, he said,

if you will diligently hearken to the voice of the Lord your God,

and will do that which is right in his sight,

and will give ear to his commandments and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases

upon thee which I brought upon the Egyptians, for I am the Lord that healeth thee.

Praise God.

I am the Lord that healeth thee.

Now this phrase, if you look up the words, it's the word for Jehovah, or actually it's pronounced why, Ya'ova, and other, there's other

pronunciations than that. Even scholars disagree. But we say Jehovah. And the word Heeleth is the

word Rafe, or Rofe, depending on who you're reading after.

But it literally means Jehovah is the self-existent eternal one.

Hallelujah.

He's not dependent on anybody else for his existence.

And he has existed from eternity past through eternity future, something our brain can't even wrap around yet.

But he is the self-existent eternal one and Rafa means

the one who mends you

or cures you

hallelujah

it's translated

heal healer
