Exodus 11 - KJV & KBTP

He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.

Healing, whether physical, emotional, or spiritual, is something everyone seeks at some point in life. In times of suffering, pain, or brokenness, the Bible offers comfort, hope, and promises of restoration. God is described as the Great Healer who mends our wounds and brings wholeness to every aspect of our lives. Scripture reminds us of God’s ability to restore not just the body, but also the heart, soul, and mind.

Here are seven Bible verses that speak to God’s healing power and offer encouragement for those in need of restoration.

1. Jeremiah 30:17
“But I will restore you to health and heal your wounds, declares the Lord.”

God’s promise in this verse is one of restoration. No matter how deep the wound or how severe the brokenness, God assures His people that He will bring healing. This verse serves as a reminder that nothing is too far gone for God to repair. His desire is to bring health and wholeness to His children, both physically and spiritually.

2. Psalm 147:3
“He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.”

While physical healing is important, God also tends to the brokenness in our hearts. When we feel crushed by life’s circumstances or overwhelmed by grief, He is near, offering comfort and healing. He binds up the wounds that no one else can see, restoring our inner peace.

3. James 5:14-15
“Is anyone among you sick? Let them call the elders of the church to pray over them and anoint them with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise them up.”

God invites His people to seek healing through prayer and the support of the community of believers. The act of calling on others to pray in faith demonstrates a trust in God’s ability to heal. This scripture reassures us that God hears and responds to prayers offered in faith.

4. Isaiah 53:5
“But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.”

Through Christ’s suffering and death, spiritual healing is made possible for all. His wounds bring us salvation, and in that salvation, we find the ultimate healing for our souls. This verse serves as a reminder of the eternal healing that comes through Christ’s sacrifice.

5. Exodus 15:26
“He said, ‘If you listen carefully to the Lord your God and do what is right in his eyes, if you pay attention to his commands and keep all his decrees, I will not bring on you any of the diseases I brought on the Egyptians, for I am the Lord, who heals you.'”

God reveals Himself as “Jehovah Rapha,” meaning “the Lord who heals.” This verse underscores God’s power and desire to bring healing to His people. It is a reminder that God not only heals, but He also protects and preserves His people when they walk in obedience to His word.

6. Matthew 11:28-30
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”

True healing is found in coming to Him. When life’s burdens become overwhelming, Jesus offers rest and restoration for the soul. His gentleness and compassion bring peace and relief to those who are weary, making Him the source of ultimate healing for our emotional and spiritual struggles.

7. 1 Peter 2:24
“He himself bore our sins in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed.”

Through Jesus’s death and resurrection, we are offered new life, free from the bondage of sin. The healing referred to here is both spiritual and physical, pointing to the completeness of the restoration that Jesus offers.

Conclusion

Healing is a multifaceted process that touches every aspect of our being—our bodies, minds, hearts, and spirits. These verses remind us of God’s deep care and His promise to heal us in every way. Whether we are seeking relief from physical illness, emotional pain, or spiritual brokenness, the Bible assures us that God is the Great Healer, and His power is available to those who seek Him.

1 And the LORD said unto Moses, Yet will I bring one plague more upon Pharaoh, and upon Egypt; afterwards he will let you go hence: when he shall let you go, he shall surely thrust you out hence altogether. 2 Speak now in the ears of the people, and let every man borrow of his neighbour, and every woman of her neighbour, jewels of silver, and jewels of gold. 3 And the LORD gave the people favour in the sight of the Egyptians. Moreover the man Moses was very great in the land of Egypt, in the sight of Pharaoh’s servants, and in the sight of the people.

4 And Moses said, Thus saith the LORD, About midnight will I go out into the midst of Egypt: 5 And all the firstborn in the land of Egypt shall die, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sitteth upon his throne, even unto the firstborn of the maidservant that is behind the mill; and all the firstborn of beasts. 6 And there shall be a great cry throughout all the land of Egypt, such as there was none like it, nor shall be like it any more. 7 But against any of the children of Israel shall not a dog move his tongue, against man or beast: that ye may know how that the LORD doth put a difference between the Egyptians and Israel. 8 And all these thy servants shall come down unto me, and bow down themselves unto me, saying, Get thee out, and all the people that follow thee: and after that I will go out. And he went out from Pharaoh in a great anger. 9 And the LORD said unto Moses, Pharaoh shall not hearken unto you; that my wonders may be multiplied in the land of Egypt. 10 And Moses and Aaron did all these wonders before Pharaoh: and the LORD hardened Pharaoh’s heart, so that he would not let the children of Israel go out of his land.

Mushe unoleba lufu gwe mbano

1 Yahwe bakadwa Mushe bakati, “Nditjowozhisa shamu imwe muna Faro ne mu Egipiti, shule kwa ikoku unowomuletja mukayenda, ha emuletja muyenda, unowomutata tjoselele kuti mudwe ipapa. 2 Ulebeleke mu zebe dze Baiziraela bose kuti mmwe ne mmwe akumbile zwithu zwakathamiwa nge siliva ne golide mu mbakidzani naye.” 3 Yahwe bakayita kuti Baiziraela batetiwe ne Baegipiti. Pezhugwi kwa ikoku, nlume uwoyu Mushe, wakabe ali nkulu kwazo mu shango ye Egipiti, ne mu mesho e makombgwa a Faro nenge bathu bose.

4 Ngono Mushe kadwa Mambo kati, “Yahwe bakati, ‘Kowoti kuthubukana kwe masiku kusedzela, ndowopalama Egipiti. 5 Ngono bakololo bose be mbano dze Baegipiti dzowofa, kutangisa ne mbano ya Faro iye ugele mutjigalo tje bushe, kunoti ku mbano ye nlandakadzi iye umile paduni, nenge zwithuwo zose zwakazwagwa kutanga zowofa. 6 Ngono kowobe ne tjililo tjikulu tjisakatongobepo naiko tjisingobepo ku tandula shango yose ye Egipiti, kakale.’ ” 7 Koga na iyo mbgwa aitowobukula Baiziraela kene zwithuwo zwabo, ndiko imwi Faro ne bathu babo Baegipiti kwamunowoziba kuti Yahwe bana shalaulo pakati kwe Baegipiti ne Baiziraela. 8 Mushe kaligila eti, “Makombgwa wose awo anowozha kundili bebe bendithigamila bendikumbila kuti nditole bathu bangu bose ndizwiyendigwe. Ngono shule kwa ikoku, ndowobhuda ayenda.” Ndizo Mushe kamilika pana Mambo ali zhele bushongola.

9 Ndizo Yahwe bakadwa Mushe bakati, “Faro angakuteedze, kuyitila kuti, matjenamiso angu awande mu shango ye Egipiti.” 10 Mushe na Aroni bakathama matjenamiso wose iyawa mbeli kwa Faro, ngono Yahwe bakakukutadza moyo wa Faro, ngono kasiletjedze bana be Iziraela bebhuda mu shango iye.
