October 13 Worship

10/7/2013

This Sunday's theme centers on healing and I will be offering the individual prayer for health and healing.  My focus will be on the story of Naaman's healing as recorded in 2 Kings 5:1-3, 7-15.   Naaman, who is the commander of the army of Aram (Syria), finds himself afflicted with leprosy.  A captured Israelite girl who is serving in his household then suggests he travels to the prophet Elisha for healing.

Naaman makes the journey to Elisha and is given instructions by a messenger as follows:
"Go, wash in the Jordan seven times, and your flesh shall be restored and you shall be clean."  2 Kings 5:10  Naaman can't figure out why he couldn't wash in his own river back home.  Anyway, Naaman immerses himself in the Jordan River and is healed!


A couple of things to note and for you to consider.
1.  Naaman was willing to listen to someone who was an enemy of his own country.  How open are you for advice from anyone outside your comfort zone?
2.  Naaman gets healed by merely immersing himself in water.  How open might you be to healing such as with alternative medicine?


Healing can come in many different ways to us.  If we approach our concern in prayer, we never know what door God might open up for us to find healing.  The question is: Do you want to be healed?

The prayer this Sunday will focus on the whole person.  If you are in need of healing for any kind of brokenness in your life, I encourage you to come.
