I. The Miracle of
Healing
2 Kings 5:1-3
1-3 Naaman was general of the army under
the king of Aram. He was important to his
master, who held him in the highest esteem
because it was by him that God had given
victory to Aram: a truly great man, but
afflicted with a grievous skin disease. It so
happened that Aram, on one of its raiding
expeditions against Israel, captured a young
girl who became a maid to Naaman’s wife.
One day she said to her mistress, “Oh, if only
my master could meet the prophet of
Samaria, he would be healed of his skin
disease.”
Leprosy was one of the
most defiling diseases of
the Old Testament
Leprosy was usually a
terminal disease
Elisha said, “I DID NOT
DO ANYTHING. IT WAS
THE GOD I SERVE WHO
DID THE MIRACLE OF
HEALING.”
II. God Demands
Total Obedience
III. The Sin Of Greed
Is Deadly
IV. Sometimes God
Will Send Blindness
2 Kings 6:15-18
15 Early in the morning a servant of the Holy
Man got up and went out. Surprise! Horses
and chariots surrounding the city! The young
man exclaimed, “Oh, master! What shall we
do?”
16 He said, “Don’t worry about it—there are
more on our side than on their side.”
2 Kings 6:15-18
17 Then Elisha prayed, “O God, open his eyes
and let him see.”
The eyes of the young man were opened and
he saw. A wonder! The whole mountainside
full of horses and chariots of fire surrounding
Elisha!
18 When the Arameans attacked, Elisha
prayed to God, “Strike these people blind!”
And God struck them blind, just as Elisha said.
