FAITH CAPSULE: Know to receive and believe the Word of God.
2 Kings 5
The Word of God is the power to heal.
There is the direction to receive and believe the power of the Word of God.
Naaman, a commander of the army of the king of Syria, had leprosy and could not receive and believe the Word of God as directed to experience healing.
Elisha, the Prophet of God, told Naaman to go and wash in the Jordan seven times for the cleansing of his leprosy, but he refused and could not accept the direction for his healing instead, “Naaman became furious, and went away and said, “Indeed, I said to myself, ‘He will surely come out to me, and stand and call on the name of the LORD his God, and wave his hand over the place, and heal the leprosy.’” (2 Kings 5:11) Naaman refused to do as directed.
Learn not to deny your timely deliverance by not receiving to believe the Word of God.
Psalm 107:20 records the activity of the Word of God, “He sent His word and healed them and delivered them from their destructions.”
What is denying you or discouraging you from giving yourself to the Word of God?
The Word of God is the same and has not changed from the beginning of time. John 1:1-3 records the description of the Word of God, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him, nothing was made that was made.”
The Word of God will terminate a challenge in the life of one that receives and believes in the Word of God.
Know to receive and believe the Word of God!
When Jesus entered Capernaum, a centurion came to Him, pleading with Him for healing on behalf of his servant that was lying sick and paralyzed.
Jesus responded with His plan to go to the house of the centurion.
The centurion answered Jesus, “Lord, I am not worthy that You should come under my roof. But only speak a word, and my servant will be healed.” (Matthew 8:8)
Eventually, the centurion received and believed the Word of God for the healing of his servant.
The Word of God is to terminate a challenge for anyone that can receive, to believe in healing and deliverance.
Naaman delayed with disobedience but eventually responded to the healing direction in the Word of God. 2 Kings 5:14 records, “So he went down and dipped seven times in the Jordan, according to the saying of the man of God; and his flesh was restored like the flesh of a little child, and he was clean.”
Are you delaying your healing deliverance?
Do not delay by denying the entrance of the Word of God to work for you.
Prayer for today: Ask from God that you will know to receive and believe the Word of God.
