After three days of wandering in the Desert of Shur, the Israelites were in desperate need of water. They discovered a river, however, the waters were unfit to drink. As a reflection of the quality of the water and their emotional disposition, the Israelites named the river &nbsp;Mahra (bitter).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>God divinely cleansed the waters by instructing Moses to throw a piece of wood into the water, thereby making it drinkable. Following this miracle, God declared HImself as Jehovah Rapha to His people- <strong>EXODUS 15<\/strong><strong><sup> 22&nbsp;<\/sup><\/strong><strong>Then Moses led Israel from the Red Sea and they went into the Desert&nbsp;of Shur.&nbsp;For three days they traveled in the desert without finding water.&nbsp;<sup>23&nbsp;<\/sup>When they came to Marah, they could not drink its water because it was bitter.

It can be healing of the land, from trouble, family, soul, business, work, womb, hormones, habit, character, among others<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to <strong>2 KINGS 5:1-14<\/strong> Narman had leprosy and was healed. This healing is called, HEALING OF DISEASE. God changed his story by making him have a birth in waters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also in <strong>MARK 2: 1-12<\/strong> a paralytic man was healed. This could synonymously be seen as stroke or partial stroke. This was also healed by God<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ACTIVATE YOUR HEALING<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1. HAVE FAITH<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2.
