Times Two pt9—Seven Dips in the Healing Power of God

[2Ki 5:1-14 NASB95]

The power of God exists in many different forms. One of the forms is to heal. [Luk 5:17 NASB95]

What can we learn about the healing power of God from 2 Kings 5?

Here are 7 truths about the healing power of God from 2 Kings 5.

He was a leper v. 1 – we all have issues that need the healing power of God.

Guzik – Naaman had a lot going for him, but what he had against him was devastating. He was a leper, which meant that he had a horrible, incurable disease that would slowly result in his death.

Acknowledge your need for God.

A little maid’s report. V. 2-4 – we must be willing to tell and listen to experience the healing power of God.

She told him. He finally listened.

[Rom 10:14-17 NASB95]

Sometimes, you are the speaker. Sometimes, you are the hearer. Be willing to do both.

King sent Naaman to the wrong person v. 5-7 – we must pursue the right options to operate in the healing power of God.

An estimate of over $1.2 million.

[Mar 5:25-28 NASB95]

Frustration comes when you are looking in all the wrong places.

God had the answer. V. 8-10 – we must go to God to see the healing power of God.

He should have gone to the prophet in the first place.

[Jas 5:14-15 NASB95]

God is not the last resort; he is the first response.

God’s answer requires v. 10: we must humbly obey in faith to see the healing power of God.

Jordan – Muddy – it was impossible to give credit to human or natural means. “Healing came miraculously by the grace and power of God through the word of His Prophet.”

It will often require

Faith

Humility

Obedience

It is your choice v. 11-13 believe or obey – your choice to obey enhances your experience of the healing power of God.

You do not always get to choose how the miracle will come. Sometimes, you will get to choose. Sometimes, you will not get to choose.

Purse all the Biblical ways to get your miracle.

Receive your miracle v. 14 – your miracle will come by the healing power of God.

God wants you to experience the healing power of God that comes through faith, humility, and obedience when you acknowledge your need for Him and go to Him instead of pursuing the wrong options.
