Living For Christ Ministries

Then Moses led Israel from the Red Sea, and they went out into the wilderness of Shur, and they went three days in the wilderness and found no water. And when they came to Marah, they could not drink the waters of Marah, for they were bitter; therefore, it was named Marah. So the people grumbled at Moses, saying, “What shall we drink?”

Then he cried out to the Lord, and the Lord showed him a tree, and he threw it into the waters, and the waters became sweet. There He made for them a statute and regulation, and there He tested them. And He said, “If you will give earnest heed to the voice of theLord your God, and do what is right in His sight, and give ear to His commandments, and keep all His statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you which I have put on the Egyptians; for I, the Lord, am your healer” Exod. 15:22-26.

MEANING: To restore, heal, and cure in a physical and spiritual sense.

The Lord Jesus consummated His ministry by becoming THE TREE that made the bitter pools of human existence waters of life. The teaching of Marah is wonderfully fulfilled in Him. Jesus is both the tree and the waters. He bore our sins in His Body on the tree and is also our Well of Salvation. Only Jesus, the tree of God’s provision, purifies, sweetens, and heals many bitter experiences in life. He heals the diseases of the soul and of the Body.

MEANING: It shall be seen, it shall be provided; a sense of foreseeing, seer, prophet.

JEHOVAH-JIREH is a kind of seeing that is different from Elohim, all-knowing. This kind of seeing means foreseeing his prevision. Prevision is the noun form of “seeing beforehand.” Thus to God, prevision is followed with provision, FOR HE WILL CERTAINLY PROVIDE FOR THAT NEED WHICH HIS FORE-SEEING SHOWS TO EXIST. With Him, prevision and provision are one and the same thing.

The name JEHOVAH-JIREH arose out of the instance of Jehovah’sprovision of a substitute for Isaac, whom He had commanded Abraham to sacrifice upon the altar. The name stands for Jehovah’s excellent provision for man’s redemption in the sacrifice of His only begotten Son, Jesus. He is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world, who was offered upon the very spot where Abraham had predicted: “in the mount of the Lord it will be provided.”

JEHOVAH-JIREH is to us the One who provides the sacrificial Lamb of God for our redemption.

Recognize that your fight is not with flesh and blood but with the powers of darkness and Satan’s spiritual rulers of this age. This age (world)has become the battleground between these satanic forces and humankind. Therefore, you are not fighting against people you know or with whom you come in contact in your daily life. Instead, the enemy may harass you by stirring up strife in the lives of people close to you to deter you from prayer and intercessional battle.
