Everyday, people live under the curse of defeat, which takes on many different forms. It could be recurring disease, depression, one financial problem after another, family problems passed down from generation to generation.
For the Christian, there is always hope. Jesus came to reverse every curse and give us power to conquer anything that might hold us down. God specializes in making the impossible possible.
In 2 Kings 5:1-19 is the story of Naaman, a valiant warrior who led his country to victory. Cursed with leprosy, an incurable disease that left its victims sick and social isolated, Naaman sought help from the prophet, Elisha. After dipping seven times in the Jordan River at Elisha’s command -- Naaman initially scoffed at – the Syrian warrior was healed. Naaman turned his heart to worship God of Israel, the reverser of the curse.
Like Naaman, commit to see your cleansing through. God will redeem what you thought was impossible to restore.
