Jehovah Rapha - Part 2

Forgiveness and healing are powerfully connected in God's kingdom. When Jesus healed the paralyzed man in Mark 2, He first addressed forgiveness before physical healing, showing that forgiveness opens the river of God's healing power. Job's complete restoration came not after God's revelation, but when he prayed for his friends who had hurt him. This required forgiveness first, which released supernatural blessing. Forgiveness isn't just letting someone off the hook - it's stepping into God's river of blessing that contains healing, freedom, and restoration. As believers, we're called to move in the opposite spirit of the world, choosing forgiveness over offense and prayer over retaliation.
