JUST DO IT !

 2 Kings 5:1-17 Naaman is Healed of Leprosy 

Verse 1 Reads: " The king of Aram had great admiration for Naaman, the commander of his army, because through him the LORD had given Aram great victories. But though Naaman was a mighty warrior, he suffered from leprosy". . . we all have flaws. No one should get beside themselves. In verse 2, we find a young girl, though a maid, had more wisdom and faith in the Lord than those in authority. “I wish my master would go to see the prophet in Samaria. He would heal him of his leprosy.” She didn't say "he may be healed but he would. All he has to do is go see the prophet. Just do it!

So King Aram relays the message to Naaman. The king packs tons of gifts and send Naaman, on his way. Once he arrives, God speaks to and through Elisha (Verse 10) “Go and wash yourself seven times in the Jordan River. Then your skin will be restored, and you will be healed of your leprosy.” SIMPLE AS THAT!

11 But Naaman became angry and stalked away. “I thought he would certainly come out to meet me!” he said. “I expected him to wave his hand over the leprosy and call on the name of the LORD his God and heal me! Naaman, was a man who did not know the Lord, so this infuriated him. He was expecting foolishness; a show; a production with a smoke machine, fireworks, and Elisha making a grand entrance. TRUE people of God do not carry on this way. 12 Aren’t the rivers of Damascus, the Abana and the Pharpar, better than any of the rivers of Israel? Why shouldn’t I wash in them and be healed?” So Naaman turned and went away in a rage. Naaman is saying "That's not how I see other people get things from God. This doesn't even make since. Are you sure you're hearing from God? That can't be right."But people who aren't spiritual can't receive these truths from God's Spirit. It all sounds foolish to them and they can't understand it, for only those who are spiritual can understand what the Spirit means (1 Corinthians 2:14). . . Just do it!

13 But his officers tried to reason with him and said, “Sir,if the prophet had told you to do something very difficult, wouldn’t you have done it? So you should certainly obey him when he says simply, ‘Go and wash and be cured!’” Naaman was expecting Elisha to demand all of the gifts that he brought with him and then some, until he became impoverished (like he sees other people experience),that things would have to tarry & tarry (like others), that he would have to cry out and then fall out (like others) and offer up burnt offerings until he left this world. Not everything has to be this way! Yes, we will have tribulation in this world but Jesus said, BE OF GOOD CHEER, I HAVE OVERCOME THE WORLD. (John 16:33) He came that we may be saved! (John 3:17) And live abundantly! (John 10:10) And in Freedom! (John 8:36) The Word of God says speak those things that aren't as though they are,(Romans 4:17)  JUST DO IT! Because His word says we have dominion and power,(Genesis 1:28) (Luke 10:19) JUST WALK IN IT! If all we need is the faith of a mustard see, JUST HAVE IT! Call forth those miracles! Speak favor into your atmosphere! Receive the blessings that the Lord wants to pour on His people which are exceedingly and abundantly more than we can ask or think!(Ephesians 3:20) JUST DO IT! Cast your cares upon Him (1 Peter 5:7), JUST DO IT. Let not your hearts be troubled (John 14:1), JUST DO IT!

Naaman did make the decision to be obedient and reaped immediate results because of it. Fortunately for him, he had his officers there to reason with him.

About a month ago, after church service, my family and I were sitting in the car.We were at my in-loves home waiting on them to arrive. The Holy Spirit spoke to me and said "Get out and run around this car!" So I did! I ran around our car three times, one of the in-loves car twice and around our car once more. Now previous to this date, I HAD (but I received healing a year prior, thank you, JESUS) knee issues. It runs in the family (no pun intended). Because of this I never really exercised or did anything athletic. Do you think that mattered to me or to God? ABSOLUTELY NOT! I did as I was told, no matter how I looked. You can imagine my husband's face as this all took place. I didn't tell him, I just did it. He laughed as The Holy Spirit gave him revelation of what was taking place.

I do not know for sure God reasoning behind the task but I can say that my family and I are still breathing! We are in great health! We have a roof over our heads and good food to eat! Not only that but two (2) of my siblings contacted me that same week. They shared  testimonies of how God was speaking to them and causing them to prosper. Their hearts were so humbled because they know they did nothing to deserve this. They were previously unsaved and loving the world and the death it has to offer. These two went from living the "street life" with gang bangers and smoking constantly to seeing visions of God, hearing Him and feeling His love engulf them! TELL ME GOD AIN'T GOOD!

You just never know what God has planned. We can ponder and complain and doubt and stalked away as much as or even more that Naaman did. At the end of the day, when God speaks, JUST DO IT ! I don't even want to think of the consequences if I were disobedient. When you feel your faith in God wavering, ask Him to help your unbelief Mark 9:24, and JUST DO IT ! ! !
