Naaman Healed of Leprosy 5Naaman, commander of the army of the king of Syria, was a great man with his master and in high favor, because by him theLordhad given victory to Syria. He was a mighty man of valor, but he was a leper.[a]2Now the Syrians on one of their raids had carried off a little girl from the land of Israel, and she worked in the service of Naaman's wife.3She said to her mistress, Would that my lord were with the prophet who is in Samaria! He would cure him of his leprosy.4So Naaman went in and told his lord, Thus and so spoke the girl from the land of Israel.5And the king of Syria said, Go now, and I will send a letter to the king of Israel. So he went, taking with him ten talents of silver, six thousand shekels[b]of gold, and ten changes of clothing.6And he brought the letter to the king of Israel, which read, When this letter reaches you, know that I have sent to you Naaman my servant, that you may cure him of his leprosy.7And when the king of Israel read the letter, he tore his clothes and said, Am I God, to kill and to make alive, that this man sends word to me to cure a man of his leprosy? Only consider, and see how he is seeking a quarrel with me. 8But when Elisha the man of God heard that the king of Israel had torn his clothes, he sent to the king, saying, Why have you torn your clothes? Let him come now to me, that he may know that there is a prophet in Israel.9So Naaman came with his horses and chariots and stood at the door of Elisha's house.10And Elisha sent a messenger to him, saying, Go and wash in the Jordan seven times, and your flesh shall be restored, and you shall be clean.11But Naaman was angry and went away, saying, Behold, I thought that he would surely come out to me and stand and call upon the name of theLordhis God, and wave his hand over the place and cure the leper.12Are not Abana[c]and Pharpar, the rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? Could I not wash in them and be clean? So he turned and went away in a rage.13But his servants came near and said to him, My father, it is a great word the prophet has spoken to you; will you not do it? Has he actually said to you, Wash, and be clean?14So he went down and dipped himself seven times in the Jordan, according to the word of the man of God, and his flesh was restored like the flesh of a little child, and he was clean. Gehazi's Greed and Punishment 15Then he returned to the man of God, he and all his company, and he came and stood before him. And he said, Behold, I know that there is no God in all the earth but in Israel; so accept now a present from your servant.16But he said, As theLordlives, before whom I stand, I will receive none. And he urged him to take it, but he refused.17Then Naaman said, If not, please let there be given to your servant two mule loads of earth, for from now on your servant will not offer burnt offering or sacrifice to any god but theLord.18In this matter may theLordpardon your servant: when my master goes into the house of Rimmon to worship there, leaning on my arm, and I bow myself in the house of Rimmon, when I bow myself in the house of Rimmon, theLordpardon your servant in this matter.19He said to him, Go in peace.

Who was Naaman? How was he healed? How did Gehazi react?

In this session, Pastor Rich Jensen goes over the ways to address the problems that we all have using the nouthetic method. He uses biblical examples, specifically Gehazi, to demonstrate the method.#biblicalcounseling #confessionofsin #repentance #spiritualhealth #mentalhealth #physicalhealth #forgiveness #reconciliation #sinandconsequences #psychosomaticillness #trueforgiveness #counselingothers www.ReformedRookie.comPodcast: https://anchor.fm/reformedrookieFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheReformedRookie Twitter: https://twitter.com/NYapologistSemper Reformanda!

2 Kings 5:19-27 & 1 Timothy 6:10 Today, we continue our Elisha series with a story full of surprises, sneaky plans, and an important lesson! Last time, we saw how God healed Naaman’s skin, and he was so thankful that he wanted to give Elisha a big reward. But Elisha didn’t take anything. However, someone else had different plans! Gehazi’s greed led to big consequences, and he learned the hard way that honesty, obedience, and contentment are far more valuable than gold and silver. Join us as we learn why loving money too much can lead us away from God, and how we can always trust Him to provide for our needs!

Gehazi's Greed | 2 Kings 5 | 2-9-25 by Clear Water Church

Sunday morning message with Pastor Rex Johnson. Visit christianlifeustin.com, subscribe to our YouTube channel and follow us on Instagram @christianlifeaustin to stay up to date with the exciting things happening here at Christian Life Austin.

In 2 Kings 5, Elisha's servant Gehazi, driven by greed, deceitfully accepts gifts from Naaman against God's will, leading to his punishment with leprosy.

The right thing at the wrong time is still the wrong thing. In this powerful sermon titled "Timing," we explore how waiting on God's timing can make all the difference. Through the stories of Elisha and Gehazi (2 Kings 5) and Naaman's healing, we see the consequences of acting outside of God's timing and the blessings that come when we trust Him. Many people rush into decisions, relationships, or opportunities before their season has come—but God calls us to wait, trust, and obey. The right thing at the wrong time is still the wrong thing.

A message about the epilogue of Naaman's story and a warning about being around Godly people.

Money Talks! That's the name of the three-week sermon series we're in. Today's money talk comes from 2 Kings 5. The focus? A greedy man named Gehazi. 

église AB Lausanne ; KJV 2 Kings (4 Kings) 8 Then spake Elisha unto the woman, whose son he had restored to life, saying, Arise, and go thou and thine household, and sojourn wheresoever thou canst sojourn: for the LORD hath called for a famine; and it shall also come upon the land seven years. And the woman arose, and did after the saying of the man of God: and she went with her household, and sojourned in the land of the Philistines seven years. And it came to pass at the seven years' end, that the woman returned out of the land of the Philistines: and she went forth to cry unto the king for her house and for her land. And the king talked with Gehazi the servant of the man of God, saying, Tell me, I pray thee, all the great things that Elisha hath done. And it came to pass, as he was telling the king how he had restored a dead body to life, that, behold, the woman, whose son he had restored to life, cried to the king for her house and for her land. And Gehazi said, My lord, O king, this is the woman, and this is her son, whom Elisha restored to life. And when the king asked the woman, she told him. So the king appointed unto her a certain officer, saying, Restore all that was hers, and all the fruits of the field since the day that she left the land, even until now. And Elisha came to Damascus; and Ben-hadad the king of Syria was sick; and it was told him, saying, The man of God is come hither. And the king said unto Hazael, Take a present in thine hand, and go, meet the man of God, and inquire of the LORD by him, saying, Shall I recover of this disease? So Hazael went to meet him, and took a present with him, even of every good thing of Damascus, forty camels' burden, and came and stood before him, and said, Thy son Ben-hadad king of Syria hath sent me to thee, saying, Shall I recover of this disease? And Elisha said unto him, Go, say unto him, Thou mayest certainly recover: howbeit the LORD hath shewed me that he shall surely die. ...

With all that is going on in our area, with all the loss and devastation, our hearts go out to so many. Today, we are starting a new series called Favorites. What pages of scriptures have you worn out looking for comfort, hope, or igniting your heart? Let’s talk about it. This is the audio podcast.

Who was Gehazi in the Bible? Why did Gehazi lie to Elisha and ask for gifts from Naaman?

ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN  The Lord's Prayer says Our Father who is in heaven holy is your name, your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. When we say your Kingdom come, we are not talking about the afterlife but about God's Kingdom being experienced here on earth. The Lord has established his throne in the heavens, and his kingdom rules over all. Psalm 103:19  The Kingdom of God rules over all other kingdoms on the earth and God desires that his rule and order in heaven is expressed in the earth. However, most people are living only under the rule of one of a multitude of different kinds of kingdoms in the earth, ranging from dictatorships through democracies and on to superstitious religious or tribal cultures. And most people only see an earthly kingdom in action and are not aware that a heavenly Kingdom even exists let alone its being in command of all that happens on earth. I believe we are living in days when God is opening peoples' eyes to see his Heavenly Kingdom being displayed on earth. A kingdom is a governmental rule of order presided over by a ruler. There are thousands of political kingdoms in the world and there is a multitude of ‘rules of order' and different ways to protect and enforce that rule of order.  Australia is a parliamentary democracy that is directly and indirectly under a Monarchy that has vowed to honour and serve God as the overarching rule. America is a republic that has declared ‘In God we trust' and that they are ‘A nation under God'. As to how faithfully those two governmental systems serve that Godly rule depends on the integrity and sincerity of the political leadership in maintaining those spiritual and cultural foundations. At the moment those foundations are being eroded, and God is holding everyone to account.  If Australia became a republic, who would designate what would be the overarching rule and value that we upheld, and who would protect and enforce what that overarching rule and value would be from that time on for our lives, and who would appoint the leader? Maybe just leave it to the politicians? - think about that when there's a referendum. But for us the Bible says ‘pray for rulers and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence'(1Timothy2).   Our constant mindset of prayer remains as ‘Your Kingdom come'. People today also create their own personal kingdoms of rule and order over whatever overarching ideologies they choose to embody, so there is a lot at play when it comes to discussing whose will gets done on earth as it is in Heaven. In the Old Testament Israel saw much evidence of the rule of a Heavenly Kingdom in the earth through miraculous interventions of God in their life. Things were seen being done in Heaven that were also being done on the earth.  Elisha saw into the heavens that God's angels were defeating the Syrian army that were fighting against Israel at the place where Elisha and Gehazi were staying, so he said to his terrified servant Gehazi ‘Fear not: for greater are they that are with us than they that are against us. And Elisha prayed, and said, LORD, I pray that you would open his eyes, that he may see. (2Kings 6:1) God opened Gehazi's eyes to see the Heavenly battle. Daniel was praying to God and saw the four winds of heaven in turmoil churning up the seas (Daniel 7). Daniel saw four great beasts that prophetically symbolise powerful earthly kingdoms that still exist today also disrupting the churning seas, and the seas symbolise the global population. And in the Book of Revelation chapter 13 this same vision of kingdom disorder and disruption gets prophetically amplified as something yet to occur globally in the nations of today's world. There is much that needs to come to pass in history yet, but we could be seeing the beginnings of this unfolding before our eyes at this time. We are living in a time of the clashing of kingdoms. ‘All things are being shaken and the things that are man-made will be removed, so that the things which cannot be shaken may remain. Therefore, we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken, and are given grace, by which we may serve God' (Hebrews 12:27) In the New Testament we need eyes of faith to ‘see' the Kingdom of God. Jesus always saw the Kingdom of God and he also saw the kingdom of the earth and lived in both. He did not live a secular life that was separate from his spiritual life, but the Kingdom of God was his true reality. He saw what was done in heaven being done in the earth. He put God first and he did what he saw his Father do. One day Jesus said to the listening crowds “Truly I tell you, the Son can do nothing by Himself, unless He sees the Father doing it. For whatever the Father does, the Son does also.  For Jesus things happened twice – God did it in Heaven and Jesus did it on earth. God's will was done on earth as it had been done in heaven. He teaches us that in the lord's Prayer.  The Father showed Jesus how Lazarus was to be raised from the dead when everyone was telling Jesus to come and heal him. The Father showed Jesus through the Holy Spirit the multitudes being fed with the miraculous loaves and fishes. Jesus saw the lame man take up his bed and walk at the pool of Bethesda and then spoke it into being. How do we see the Kingdom of Heaven and live a life that expresses the Heavenly Kingdom of God in the earth? Jesus said, “Truly I say to you, unless one is born from above (anothen) he cannot see the kingdom of God.” (John 3:3).  When people ask when we will see the Kingdom of heaven being active in the earth the only answer is – when it starts to be seen in our lives – as the love and compassion and the justice and mercy and truth that is in Christ. If we ask for the Holy Spirit to become active in our lives we will be guided by the Holy Spirit to hear what God is saying to us and see with eyes of faith what he showing us to do. We will pray prayers of surrender to receive God's answers and get his results rather than our demands for our own wishes. Paul says that the devil's strategy is to blind people's minds to see the things that God is doing from Heaven -The god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the message of the glory of Christ (2Corinthians 4:6) But the Bible also says that ‘Greater is he who is within you than he who is in the world (1John 4:4).  When we have faith in the work of the Kingdom of God in Heaven, we begin to understand the spiritual reality that God's will in Heaven is waiting to happen on earth in our lives and that becomes our new reality for everything we aspire to.  We may not see the spiritual battles going on in the heavens like Elisha, but we can often sense the spiritual oppression and know that there is an activity of darkness happening and we can have faith that God is at work in the world of the unseen to overcome that darkness and to shield us from it. We can trust that the Holy Spirit will bring his word alive to us as we read the Scriptures and that things will unfold in our lives that we realise only God could have arranged for us, and things on earth will start to become what is being done in heaven in front of our eyes.  There are things happening on the world stage that reveal the disorder and disruption by ungodly religious and cultural and Marxist dictatorships that defy the rule of law and seek to demolish democratic principles that honour the God of the Bible. This is happening in the Middle East where Israel is being attacked from all sides, and it is happening in too many other democratic nations from within. Godly foundations are being eroded through weak national leaderships that grasp for worldly power through corrupt and deceitful means. We live in a nation that has been given the Gospel but it has become indifferent to it over the years in its preference for the ‘good life'. But the good life is fast becoming the not so good life, and the tide is turning on the failed social and political experiments of recent times. This coming year will be a defining year for our nation as we take hold of What Jesus has already won for this nation. God is raising up his Kingdom in this Great South land of the Holy Spirit and we can personally expect to receive his grace for his Kingdom to be on display in our lives. Israel had to possess Canaan the Land of Promise (Numbers 34) which measured 300,000 square miles which is 777,000 square kilometres of territory (300,000X2.59) but the land of Promise that God wants possessed today is the territory of people's hearts to believe and ‘receive the promise of the Holy Spirit through Jesus Christ (Gatatians 3:14). God has gone before us to ‘Go in and possess the land'. Your heart of faith and love can be a window for the hearts of others to see the Kingdom and a door for others to enter into the Kingdom.

And Gehazi said, “My lord, O king, here is the woman, and here is her son whom Elisha restored to life.” 6 And when the king asked the woman, she told him. So the king appointed an official for her, saying, “Restore all that was hers, together with all the produce of the fields from the day that she left the land until now.”

The Juxtaposition - Naaman and Gehazi's Diverging Paths

In 2 Kings 5, we witness two surprising reversals: a foreign, leprous general becomes a servant of the LORD; meanwhile, a servant of the LORD becomes a leper. Alex, Jim, and Sam discuss.

Grateful for the Gravy. Today, Pastor Michael is returning to the Old Testament, in 2 Kings, about a lesson in the ministry of Elisha, the prophet.  One day, he's going through Shunem, and a couple invited him to dinner.  After one of many visits, the wife asked her husband to build a room for Elisha when he came through.  Gahezi traveled with Elisa through Shunem, so Gahezi retrieved the woman from the house, and they asked her, “What can we do to repay you for your generosity?” The woman wanted nothing, but Gahezi reminded Elisha that she had no children.  So, Elisha prophesied to her that she would bear a son, and she did!  That son was in the fields with his father and collapsed, dying.  So the woman went to Elisha and told him the story, so Elisha went back to their house and found the child dead.  Elisha went to the child and prayed to God over the boy, and the boy came to life! Later, the Lord told Elisha that a famine would come, so Elisha told the woman of this and that she needed to leave the country.  She left the country and lived with the Philistines for seven years.  Finally, it was time to come back.  But while they were gone, strangers had moved into their house and taken over.  She took her cause up with the king, and Gehazi was visiting with the king when she was there!  And Gehazi talked about numerous miracles, concerning Elisha's ministry. The woman relayed that the stories Gehazi told were true and that she and her son were the recipients of some of the miracles.  The king was impressed enough to restore her home and lands. Had she not experienced the tragedy years before, she would not have experienced the triumph later! (CSB Bible Notes) The next episode introduced a flashback seven years earlier when Elisha advised the Shunammite woman to sojourn outside Israel during a famine (8:1–2). Because she now has to reclaim her land from the king, one wonders if the king somehow appropriated the land in her absence (8:3). There is a miracle of timing: at the very moment, the king is asking Gehazi about Elisha's mighty deeds, the woman shows up with her son! Today's verses can be found in 2 Kings 4: 8-37 and 2 Kings 8: 1-6. Scripture quotations marked CSB have been taken from the Christian Standard Bible®, Copyright © 2017 by Holman Bible Publishers.

And he said, “Behold, I know that there is no God in all the earth but in Israel; so accept now a present from your servant.” 16 But he said, “As the Lord lives, before whom I stand, I will receive none.” And he urged him to take it, but he refused. 17 Then Naaman said, “If not, please let there be given to your servant two mule loads of earth, for from now on your servant will not offer burnt offering or sacrifice to any god but the Lord. 18 In this matter may the Lord pardon your servant: when my master goes into the house of Rimmon to worship there, leaning on my arm, and I bow myself in the house of Rimmon, when I bow myself in the house of Rimmon, the Lord pardon your servant in this matter.” 19 He said to him, “Go in peace.” But when Naaman had gone from him a short distance, 20 Gehazi, the servant of Elisha the man of God, said, “See, my master has spared this Naaman the Syrian, in not accepting from his hand what he brought. As the Lord lives, I will run after him and get something from him.” 21 So Gehazi followed Naaman. And when Naaman saw someone running after him, he got down from the chariot to meet him and said, “Is all well?” 22 And he said, “All is well. My master has sent me to say, ‘There have just now come to me from the hill country of Ephraim two young men of the sons of the prophets. Please give them a talent of silver and two changes of clothing.'” 23 And Naaman said, “Be pleased to accept two talents.” And he urged him and tied up two talents of silver in two bags, with two changes of clothing, and laid them on two of his servants. And they carried them before Gehazi. 24 And when he came to the hill, he took them from their hand and put them in the house, and he sent the men away, and they departed. 25 He went in and stood before his master, and Elisha said to him, “Where have you been, Gehazi?” And he said, “Your servant went nowhere.” 26 But he said to him, “Did not my heart go when the man turned from his chariot to meet you? Was it a time to accept money and garments, olive orchards and vineyards, sheep and oxen, male servants and female servants? 27 Therefore the leprosy of Naaman shall cling to you and to your descendants forever.” So he went out from his presence a leper, like snow.

“Don't be afraid!” Elisha told him. “For there are more on our side than on theirs!” Then Elisha prayed, “O Lord, open his eyes and let him see!” The Lord opened the young man's eyes, and when he looked up, he saw that the hillside around Elisha was filled with horses and chariots of fire.” (2 Kings 6:16–17 NLT) One of the most awe-inspiring stories about God's use of angels is found in 2 Kings 6. To fully appreciate the account, some background information is necessary. The king of Syria declared war on Israel. The Syrian king devised secret battle plans with his servants. Unfortunately for him, nothing is secret from the Lord. God supernaturally revealed the king's battle plans to the prophet Elisha. Elisha, in turn, relayed the plans to the king of Israel. The king of Israel then made the necessary strategic adjustments to thwart Syria's plans. After being outmaneuvered one too many times, the king of Syria began to suspect that an Israelite spy had infiltrated his inner circle. But then he received word about what Elisha was doing. The Syrian king learned that Elisha was staying in the town of Dothan. He sent an enormous army to surround Dothan. He intended to make Elisha pay for his God-assisted espionage. The scene that plays out starting in verse 14 is almost comic. Elisha's servant, Gehazi, gets up early in the morning while his master is still sleeping and walks outside to begin his day. What he sees blows his mind and shakes him to his core. The entire city is surrounded by Syrian troops and instruments of war. And Gehazi knows why they're there. So, while Elisha is trying to get a little shut-eye, Gehazi starts freaking out. He wakes the sleeping prophet and says something to the effect of, “Master! Master! We're surrounded by our enemies! What are we going to do?” Elisha did not panic when he heard the news. In fact, he was probably a little irritated that his sleep was interrupted. “Don't be afraid,” he told his servant. “For there are more on our side than on theirs!” (verse 16 NLT). Obviously, that math didn't make sense to Gehazi. Because he was assessing the situation based on what he could see physically. Elisha asked God to sharpen Gehazi's vision, to reveal what was invisible to the servant, so that he could have a more accurate sense of the situation. “The Lord opened the young man's eyes, and when he looked up, he saw that the hillside around Elisha was filled with horses and chariots of fire” (verse 17 NLT). Gehazi saw an invisible army of angels, ready to go to battle at God's command. Jesus alluded to a similar invisible army when he rebuked Peter for trying to “save” Him from being arrested. “Don't you realize that I could ask my Father for thousands of angels to protect us, and he would send them instantly?” (Matthew 26:53 NLT). Angels have our backs. They stand ready to support us whenever God commands. So when you feel alone, anxious, or outnumbered, pray as Elisha did. Ask God to make you aware of the invisible army that surrounds and protects you. — Listen to the Greg Laurie Podcast Become a Harvest Partner Support the show: https://harvest.org/supportSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It is neither new moon nor Sabbath.” She said, “All is well.” 24 Then she saddled the donkey, and she said to her servant, “Urge the animal on; do not slacken the pace for me unless I tell you.” 25 So she set out and came to the man of God at Mount Carmel. When the man of God saw her coming, he said to Gehazi his servant, “Look, there is the Shunammite. 26 Run at once to meet her and say to her, ‘Is all well with you? Is all well with your husband? Is all well with the child?'” And she answered, “All is well.” 27 And when she came to the mountain to the man of God, she caught hold of his feet. And Gehazi came to push her away. But the man of God said, “Leave her alone, for she is in bitter distress, and the Lord has hidden it from me and has not told me.” 28 Then she said, “Did I ask my lord for a son? Did I not say, ‘Do not deceive me?'” 29 He said to Gehazi, “Tie up your garment and take my staff in your hand and go. If you meet anyone, do not greet him, and if anyone greets you, do not reply. And lay my staff on the face of the child.” 30 Then the mother of the child said, “As the Lord lives and as you yourself live, I will not leave you.” So he arose and followed her. 31 Gehazi went on ahead and laid the staff on the face of the child, but there was no sound or sign of life. Therefore he returned to meet him and told him, “The child has not awakened.” 32 When Elisha came into the house, he saw the child lying dead on his bed. 33 So he went in and shut the door behind the two of them and prayed to the Lord. 34 Then he went up and lay on the child, putting his mouth on his mouth, his eyes on his eyes, and his hands on his hands. And as he stretched himself upon him, the flesh of the child became warm. 35 Then he got up again and walked once back and forth in the house, and went up and stretched himself upon him. The child sneezed seven times, and the child opened his eyes. 36 Then he summoned Gehazi and said, “Call this Shunammite.” So he called her. And when she came to him, he said, “Pick up your son.” 37 She came and fell at his feet, bowing to the ground. Then she picked up her son and went out.

So whenever he passed that way, he would turn in there to eat food. 9 And she said to her husband, “Behold now, I know that this is a holy man of God who is continually passing our way. 10 Let us make a small room on the roof with walls and put there for him a bed, a table, a chair, and a lamp, so that whenever he comes to us, he can go in there.” 11 One day he came there, and he turned into the chamber and rested there. 12 And he said to Gehazi his servant, “Call this Shunammite.” When he had called her, she stood before him. 13 And he said to him, “Say now to her, ‘See, you have taken all this trouble for us; what is to be done for you? Would you have a word spoken on your behalf to the king or to the commander of the army?'” She answered, “I dwell among my own people.” 14 And he said, “What then is to be done for her?” Gehazi answered, “Well, she has no son, and her husband is old.” 15 He said, “Call her.” And when he had called her, she stood in the doorway. 16 And he said, “At this season, about this time next year, you shall embrace a son.” And she said, “No, my lord, O man of God; do not lie to your servant.” 17 But the woman conceived, and she bore a son about that time the following spring, as Elisha had said to her.

Daily Dose of Hope October 17, 2024 Day 5 of Week 29 Scripture:  2 Kings 4-6; Matthew 5 Welcome back to the Daily Dose of Hope, the devotional and podcast that complements the New Hope Church Bible reading plan.  I'm currently sitting in the Newark airport, so as I read this, please excuse the background noise.    Our Old Testament passage for today is 2 Kings 4-6.  Let's start with chapter 4.  This is really a beautiful chapter. The stories we find here demonstrate God's power and his desire to care for those who are suffering and in need. Throughout the Biblical narrative, God walks closely to the poor and vulnerable.   In this chapter, God works through the prophet Elisha to provide for an impoverished widow, resurrect a young boy, and feed hungry prophets. Be sure to read through the whole narrative. I wanted to highlight one of the miracles that God did through the prophet Elisha. A widow of a deceased prophet comes to him quite distressed. After her husband passed, she has significant debts to pay and no way to pay them. She is worried that the creditor will come to take her two sons as payment. Debt slavery was not uncommon in ancient civilizations.  When the poor could not pay their debts, they were often forced into physical labor to repay them. Debt slavery could last years (it wasn't as if there was any accountability).   We see throughout the Old Testament the prophets speaking out against the oppression of the poor and this would have certainly constituted oppression! The prophet Elisha sees the woman's desperation and quickly moves into action. First, he asks her what she has; she has a little olive oil. Next, he tells her to ask her neighbors for as many jars as possible. Once the jars are in place, he has her fill them up. The olive oil continued to flow for as long as there were empty jars. Then, she could sell the oil and pay her debts, protecting her boys from being forced into slavery.   I love how God uses something the woman already has–olive oil–to provide a solution to her problem. I can't help but think, even when we feel like we have nothing of value to offer, there is always something. God has gifted us with talents and resources that we can use to solve our own problems and make an impact in the world. Obviously, we can't do this on our own. We need God to work through us and in us. We may also need to lean on the body of Christ for help and wisdom. But God will provide for us what we need. Trust in that.   In chapter 5, we meet Naaman, who was an official in the army of Aram.  He had leprosy and heard about a prophet in Samaria who could possibly heal him.  Of course, the prophet was Elisha.  And Elisha does heal him.  But to me, this isn't the most interesting part of the story.  When Naaman goes to leave, he wants to give Elisha all kinds of gold, silver, and expensive gifts.  Elisha declines adamantly.  But Elisha's servant, Gehazi, runs after Naaman and lies in order to get two talents of silver (quite a lot) and some clothing.  But Elisha knows exactly what's happened and when he questions Gehazi, he lies.  As a result, Gehazi ends up with Naaman's leprosy.  God requires integrity.   In chapter 6, we see God continue to do miracles through the prophet Elisha. It appears that Elisha has developed a much more amicable relationship with the king of Israel. When Aram went to war with Israel, Elisha used his prophetic skills to warn the king of Israel when harm was eminent so he could be on guard. Not surprisingly, this frustrated the king of Aram who suspected he had a spy in his ranks. But one of his officers knew that it was in fact Elisha who was providing the king of Israel with the information he needed to protect himself. Thus, the army of Aram is sent to capture Elisha.   The army of Aram surrounds the town of Dothan, where Elisha was living.  Their plan was to capture him. Elisha prays to the Lord, asking for the army to be struck with blindness and God does it. This allows Elisha to lead the army out of Dothan and into Samaria. Once in Samaria, the soldiers' sight returns. The king of Israel asks Elisha if the men should be killed. But Elisha wants to show them mercy, so the king feeds them and sends them back home. Some reflections from today's text: -When in doubt, show mercy. God is a merciful God. We are called to be merciful people. -Err on the side of grace. We've been shown immense grace; let's be sure to demonstrate it to others. -Believe that God is on your side. Your God loves you and wants the best for you. Trust in that.   Matthew 5 is our New Testament passage.  This chapter begins Jesus' teaching called the Sermon on the Mount.  This includes a couple chapters worth of revolutionary teaching.  Jesus probably preached this over a period of days, with thousands of people sitting on the mountainside listening.  The Sermon on the Mount turns things upside down.  Who is blessed?  Those who are poor in spirit, those who mourn, those who are merciful, those who are persecuted.  This would not have been the typical thinking for that time.  They thought if someone was wealthy and happy, then that must mean God's blessing.  Jesus is saying not so fast.  Things are not always what they seem.   The standard for a believer is so much greater than the law.  Adultery isn't simply sex with another, but lusting after someone who isn't your spouse.  Divorce is no longer the acceptable route that the Jews thought it was.  You don't take an eye for an eye, but rather turn the other check.  I kind of imagine all the people with jaws dropped, thinking but how can this be?  How is this even possible?    More tomorrow.   Blessings, Pastor Vicki

In this episode of Arise + Abide, Sally and Curtis explore 2 Kings 8:1-6, which revisits the story of the Shunammite woman, her son, and Gehazi, Elisha's servant. After the famine prophesied by Elisha ends, the woman returns to reclaim her land and is met with divine timing as she encounters the king. Together, Sally and Curtis discuss themes of obedience, the power of testimony, and God's perfect timing. The conversation highlights how God's care and provision go beyond expectations and the importance of trusting His guidance even when faced with challenges. Join them for an insightful discussion on how God's promises and faithfulness manifest in unexpected ways, even through unlikely characters.

Today's secular world is dominated by greed, but the desire to “get more” has been tempting people since ancient times. Have you ever heard the true story of Gehazi-- the servant of Elisha who destroyed his life because of greedy gain? What does God want you to know about the destructive power of greed? (Sharp Rocks, part 2)

In this session, Pastor Rich Jensen continues going over the ways to address the problems that we all have using the nouthetic method. He uses biblical examples, specifically Gehazi, to demonstrate the method. #biblicalcounseling #confessionofsin #repentance #spiritualhealth #mentalhealth #physicalhealth #forgiveness #reconciliationjourney #sinandconsequences #psychosomaticillness #forgiveness #counseling #counselling www.ReformedRookie.com Podcast: https://anchor.fm/reformedrookie Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/TheReformedRookie Twitter: https://twitter.com/NYapologist Semper Reformanda!

Have you ever visited a friend's house and been given good food to eat and a comfortable place to sleep? A woman did that for Elisha. “If one falls down, his friend can help him up.” ECCLESIASTES 4:10, NIV God's people are kind to one another.

In this episode of Arise + Abide, Curtis and Sally delve into 2 Kings 5:20-27, exploring the story of Gehazi's greed and its consequences. Building on the narrative of Naaman's miraculous healing from leprosy, Curtis and Sally discuss how Gehazi, Elisha's servant, succumbs to his desire for material gain, deceiving Naaman and ultimately suffering a severe punishment. The episode highlights themes of obedience, the value of God's gifts, and the dangers of selfish ambition. Curtis and Sally reflect on the broader lessons about God's grace, the true cost of greed, and the importance of humility and repentance. Join them as they unpack the spiritual and moral implications of Gehazi's actions and how they resonate in our own lives.

“Gehazi, the servant of Elisha the man of God, said to himself, “My master was too easy on Naaman, this Aramean, by not accepting from him what he brought. As surely as the Lord lives, I will run after him and get something from him.” So Gehazi hurried after Naaman. When Naaman saw him running toward him, he got down from the chariot to meet him. “Is everything all right?..” (2 Kings 5:20-27) Part 3 of 3 Welcome to Walk in Truth!
