Summary

Have you ever wanted God to bring you healing but on your own terms? Today, Kelly walks us through Naaman’s story in 2 Kings 5. Naaman had wealth, power, and position. He also had an incurable skin disease that none of his resources could remedy. When God’s servant Elisha offered Naaman a prescription for healing, Naaman refused. Why should he, a powerful man with status from a land of clear flowing rivers, dunk himself in the dirty water of the Jordan River? Naaman needed more than physical healing on his own terms; He needed an encounter with the living God. And so do we. We hope you’ll join us for this meaningful episode about seeking God’s healing His way. “When God brings about our healing we will know that it is Him and only Him.” Scripture References 2 Kings 5:1-16 James 4:6 John 1:29 Colossians 1:21-22 Relevant Links To find out more about Kelly’s work in the Amazon jungle with Justice & Mercy International you can read one of her most personal books Wherever The River Runs: How A Forgotten People Renewed My Hope In The Gospel.

0:53.3	I am so glad that you are here with me today
0:56.3	for a really wonderful episode called God's Healing God's Way. We're going to be looking at a phenomenal
1:04.0	story in Second Kings chapter 5 about a man named Naiman who has a radical encounter with the God of Israel.
1:13.2	One of the things that's really cool about this story is that Naiman is a Gentile.
1:17.7	And we're going to see this Gentile encounter the God of Israel, be healed by the God of Israel.
1:24.1	And as a result, we begin to see these early seeds of the gospel taking root.
1:29.9	One of the things that I wanted to be able to bring you at the very beginning of the
1:35.4	Cultivate Podcast in these first several episodes is really just some of my favorite stories
1:41.0	in the Bible.

1:53.1	and the Lord was calling me to a place of obedience or he was convicting me or challenging me.
1:58.4	But they have become my favorite because anytime we sense
2:03.2	the Lord speaking in our lives, or maybe I'll just put it more straightforward, anytime we know
2:08.7	that God has spoken to us, that's a good, that's a good moment. That is a good time, even if it's a
2:16.0	difficult one. And the story of Naman is definitely
