  2. “Healed” – Hebrew: רָפָא (rāp̄ā’)

    • Transliteration: ra-fā

    • Rookie Phonetic: rah-FAH

  3. “Word” – Hebrew: דָּבָר (dāḇār)

    • Transliteration: da-vār

    God’s spoken promise or message, often sent for healing and deliverance.

  4. “Destructions” – Hebrew: שְׁחִיתוֹת (sheḥîtôṯ)

    🧠 Deep Dive: Explore the two vivid redemptive scenes:

  • Freedom from chains (vv.10–16) – A picture of sin’s captivity and the miracle of deliverance

  • Freedom from the grave (vv.17–22) – Healing, restoration, and hope beyond death


    🧠 Memory Verse:

He sent His word and healed them, And delivered them from their destructions.
— ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭107‬:‭20‬ ‭NKJV‬‬


📖 Prayer Journal Prompt: Jesus, thank You for breaking my chains and healing my soul. Remind me of how far You’ve brought me so I never forget the price You paid for my freedom.

🎙️ Engagement Exercise:
“Chain Break Shout-Out”
Each person briefly shares one “chain” that Jesus has broken in their life (e.g., fear, addiction, shame) and how freedom feels now.
Think On This: “What’s one area where you still need His word to heal you?”
