Healing in God's way

The Lord has made all things and has his methods to operate, it is up to us to just obey him with faith and the miracle will happen

Naaman was not anyone. He had possessions and a place of respect in society. In the church are there also people with possessions? Yes. There are people with possessions, well educated, respected, but just like Naaman are in trouble. That man had leprosy. Even though he was a war hero, wanted by the king and very strong, he could not solve that situation. And by the way, he and no one. There was no cure, as there is not until today. Then he listens to talk about the prophet Elisha and seeks him out for help. The messenger of the man of God is the one who attends and guides him to wash seven times in the river Jordan to be clean.

"And Elisha sent to him a messenger, saying, Go, wash seven times in the Jordan, and your flesh shall be restored, and thou shalt be clean." 2 Kings 5:10.

Naaman wanted to do it his way. And there are a lot of people acting like that, too. But that man had to stand there, if he had regained his insignificance and knew that even though he was a war hero, he could not do anything about that problem. Maybe you are powerful among yours and still could not solve your problem. The secret is obedience. He was indignant, wanted something easy, because he thought that the prophet would lay hands on his illness and would be restored. Naaman also complained about the Jordan River which was dirty and suggested other acquaintances in the region for its good quality water. Even outraged, he did as he had been suggested and the seventh dive was completely clean. The Bible says that your skin was like a baby's. With God, there is only one option: to obey his sovereign will. Do not fight against the Lord. All your thoughts are perfect. Follow your directions, live the process in God's way and be blessed.
