Latest / Adventures: Bible Truths in Action / J-Team 2: Jehovah Rapha
Transcript
- 0:02Deep in the heart of Israel, God desires to be known by his
- 0:06chosen people, revealing himself to Moses as Yahweh the Great.
- 0:12I am a name too holy to utter. The Israelites call him Jehovah.
- 0:20Throughout the Old Testament, Jehovah responds to the faith of
- 0:23his people and shows himself strong on their behalf.
- 0:28In remembrance of Jehovah's power and love, the people give
- 0:31him additional names describing his ability and willingness to
- 0:35help in their lives. Each name describes the nature
- 0:40of the one true God. Each is Jehovah.
- 0:45Together they are the J team. The son of the widow woman whom
- 0:56God used to feed and provide a place for the prophet Elijah to
- 0:59live, became very sick one day. Aren't you sure this is going to
- 1:04work? How dare you doubt my abilities,
- 1:07especially after you mess things up.
- 1:10The widow and her son should both be dead by now.
- 1:13Well, how was I supposed to know that the prophet Elijah would
- 1:17show up? He had the J team with him.
- 1:20The entire J team. Well, no, just Jehovah Gyra.
- 1:25But how can I starve the widow and her son to death if Jehovah
- 1:28Jireh's around? Did you see Jehovah Rapha the
- 1:32Healer? No, just Jehovah Jireh, the
- 1:36provider. Then my plan will work.
- 1:39Sickness is my specialty. When I make the boy so sick that
- 1:43he dies, the widow woman will get mad and kick Elijah out of
- 1:47her house. Why pick on the boy?
- 1:52Why not make Elijah sick and instead?
- 1:55I've tried. Believe me, I've tried.
- 1:58Elijah must know that Jehovah Rapha is his healer.
- 2:01Come on, we have bad work to do. Elijah is a man of God.
- 2:06The J team is bound to show up. What to do?
- 2:10What to do? What's wrong with a woman?
- 2:24Look what you've done to me, old man of God.
- 2:27Have you come to point out my sins and kill my son?
- 2:31What happened to your son? Give it to me.
- 2:35Elijah took the boy up to his room, laid him on the bed, and
- 2:38prayed to Jehovah, the Lord God Almighty.
- 2:42Oh God, this woman has provided for me and given me a place to
- 2:47live. Have you brought tragedy on her
- 2:50by killing her son? Did you hear what he said?
- 2:53I made the boy sick and he died. But Elijah thinks God did it.
- 2:58Some man of God he is. Well, that's good, isn't it?
- 3:02I mean, if Elijah thinks God made the boy sick, he won't pray
- 3:05for the boy, right? Oh my God, why?
- 3:10Please let him live, Let him live.
- 3:14It's too late to pray for the boy.
- 3:16He's dead, but just once I'd like someone to give me the
- 3:20credit I deserve. Hey, you puny prophet, I killed
- 3:25the boy, not your God. You got that?
- 3:31He's right, Elijah. I didn't kill the boy.
- 3:34Jehovah Rapha. If you pray for the boy, I will
- 3:39heal him, for I am healed. Lord, let this child's life
- 3:44return to him. You can't do that.
- 3:47The boy is dead. Who's gonna stop me?
- 3:51Damon is he handles all of my light work.
- 3:54I do, I mean, I do think, think what to do, what to do, Ron.
- 4:02Hey, where are you going? Fine, I'll stop him myself.
- 4:07The devil soon realized this is not a messenger of God, that he
- 4:11can engage in battle. This is God.
- 4:14One word from his mouth is more than enough to defeat him.
- 4:20You haven't seen the last of me, Jehovah Rapha.
- 4:24I'll be back. Then so will I.
- 4:28Three times Elijah prayed for the boy.
- 4:31After the third time, the boy sat up on the bed, healed.
- 4:34Elijah rejoiced as he picked the boy up to return him to his
- 4:38mother. Look here.
- 4:41Your son, he's alive. Why I thought I had lost you.
- 4:46Thank you, Elijah. It wasn't me, it was Jehovah
- 4:51Rapha, the Lord God, our Healer. Now I know you are a man of God
- 4:56and that God's word is true. If you or a loved one ever need
- 5:01healing, you too can pray and receive from Jehovah the Lord
- 5:05God Almighty, our Healer. He is Jehovah Rapha.
