Dearly beloved in Christ,
Greengs in the name of Jehovah Rapha!
By the grace of God, the Chennai Regional Conferth
ence has entered into another conference year. The 26
Session of the Regional Conference was completed on
th May 24 .
The Lord is good and His love endures forever. “…I
am the Lord that healeth thee” is a powerful statement
in the Bible (Exodus 15:26). He heals all your diseases is
another positive affirmation of God in the bible (Psalm
103:3). On several occasions God has promised that He
is our Healer. We have numerous examples of the
Healing acts of God directly in the lives of the communities 

and individuals . Sound health and prosperity is
desired by everyone on the earth. Hospitals serve as
places of hope and healing to millions around the globe.
However, no patient would love to be an inpatient in a
hospital.

Early man believed in natural healing, and healing
through natural herbs and their products. Healing in the
Bible refers to physical, mental, emotional and spiritual
healing. God heals from sicknesses, demonic possessions, 

curses and from everything man could and
could not imagine in relation to his unwell condition.
The prophet Jeremiah talks about the healing of the
Land through prayers and confessions. The healing of
the Lord brings prosperity and strength (Jeremiah 33:1-9).
The power of healing was experienced by the
wilderness community through a branch of a Tree, a
bronze serpent (Numbers 25:1-9) and through the
throwing of some flour into the stew pot during the days
of Elisha (2 Kings 4:38-41). “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 53:5).
The power of healing was working through the
Prophets, disciples, apostles and believers. James
5:14–15: “Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for
the elders of the church, and let them pray over him,
anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the
prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise
him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be
forgiven.” This verse reminds us of the power of the
praying church.
Today people need three kinds of healing: Spiritual,
Physical and Emotional healing. Spiritual healing:
Jeremiah 17:9 records the incurable condition of the human heart: 

“The heart is deceitful above all things
and beyond cure. Who can understand it?” We are
sinners who have been inflicted with the disease of
death and destruction and we are in desperate need of a
new heart.
Physical Healing: In 2 Kings 20:5-6 we read that
Hezekiah became very ill and was about to die. As a
result of intense intercession, he was healed and his life
was even extended. This is really an amazing account:
“This is what the LORD, the God of your father David,
says: I have heard your prayer and seen your tears; I will
heal you…I will add fifteen years to your life.”
Emotional Healing: Jehovah Rapha heals emoonal
hurts and broken hearts. Psalm 147:3: “He heals the
broken hearted and binds up their wounds.” The word
“broken” means “to burst, to break into pieces, to crush
and to smash.” Some of you maybe feeling that way
right now. Your emoonal pain is overwhelming.
David declares that he was sick, and distressed so
that he could come closer to the LORD. “Before I was
afflicted I went astray, but now I obey your word…It
was good for me to be afflicted so that I might learn
your decrees.” (Psalm 119:67, 71).
God bless us with sound health and Shalom.
With blessings
Rev. Dr. Andrew B Natarajan,
Senior Pastor.
