This is our Rapha flag, which features our Healing Flow silk. This flag is part of our “Names of God” Dyed4you Art flag line. Each of these flags feature an image of a related Dyed4you silk, the word for which is included as part of the word that goes with this flag. Additionally, these flags are anointed with the same oils as the original silks.
The Hebrew lettering on this flag says: Jehovah Rapha, which means the Lord our Healer. This name comes from Exodus 15:26 (NIV) [emphasis mine] “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.””
In scripture, the name of God is written with the Hebrew letters: yod-hey-vav-hey. This is sometimes noted in English by the acronym of the letters (YHVH); and sometimes vowels are added to create Jehovah, Yahweh (sometimes abbreviated YHWH), or Yehovah. All of these renditions refer to the one true God, the eternal one, maker of heaven and earth.
Though some people firmly believe in using one version over another, we use whichever one we feel led to given the circumstances. As Jehovah tends to be the most recognized version, that was what we felt led to use on this flag. Just as we see earthly parents and grandparents smile as their familial infants slaughter the pronunciation of their names, so we trust God will extend grace to us. We believe His primary concern is that we are in fact calling on Him. And the fact that we are gives Him much pleasure.
A Prophetic Nugget from “Daily Downloads from Heaven” by Meghan Williams is connected to this. It’s called “Jehovah Rapha (the Lord our Healer).”
Exodus 15:26 (NLT) He said, “If you will listen carefully to the voice of the LORD your God and do what is right in his sight, obeying his commands and keeping all his decrees, then I will not make you suffer any of the diseases I sent on the Egyptians; for I am the LORD who heals you.”
Beloved, I desire for My children to walk in healing and wholeness. For I AM the God of abundant life, and healing and wholeness come from Me alone. Cling fast to the promise of who I AM, and hold tight to Me.
I AM Jehovah Rapha, the Lord your healer is My name. Call on Me to give you strength, and trust Me to give grace. My healing rain is falling down. Behold, I make all things new. Praise the One who gives you life, and hold fast to what is true.
The name of the silk in this piece is Healing Flow.
It has been prayed over and anointed with the Scent of Heaven’s His Healing Touch oil. The scripture that goes with this oil is Luke 6:19 “And all the multitude were seeking to touch Him, for healing power was all the while going forth from Him and curing them all [ saving them from severe illnesses or calamities].” All of them were healed. All. We rest in that promise even today. Mentally. Physically. Any area that healing is needed. All are healed. Through you His healing flows.
We pray it blesses you!
NOTE: If you’re wondering why I’ve shared this art flag letter, I explain on my personal blog in a post called God Speaking Through Silk why I began sharing these on my personal blog. Later, I felt led to share some on the Dyed4you Ministries blog as well. So I share some here and some there (you can find the ones there in the silk words and Dyed4you Art Flag category).
