Read 2 Kings 5 in context

Scripture Focus

10And Elisha sent a messenger unto him, saying, Go and wash in Jordan seven times, and thy flesh shall come again to thee, and thou shalt be clean.

11But Naaman was wroth, and went away, and said, Behold, I thought, He will surely come out to me, and stand, and call on the name of the LORD his God, and strike his hand over the place, and recover the leper.

12Are not Abana and Pharpar, rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? may I not wash in them, and be clean? So he turned and went away in a rage.

13And his servants came near, and spake unto him, and said, My father, if the prophet had bid thee do some great thing, wouldest thou not have done it? how much rather then, when he saith to thee, Wash, and be clean?

14Then went he down, and dipped himself seven times in Jordan, according to the saying of the man of God: and his flesh came again like unto the flesh of a little child, and he was clean.

2 Kings 5:10-14

Biblical Context

Naaman must wash in Jordan seven times; his initial resistance yields to obedience, and he experiences restoration as a sign of inner change.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within Naaman’s scene lies a mirror for every seeker's journey. The messenger and the prophet within you declare a simple act: dip in Jordan seven times. Jordan stands for the stream of your own consciousness; the washing represents repeated inner assumption until the old image dissolves and the new becomes your living flesh. Naaman’s fury mirrors the ego clinging to cherished rivers of preference; his pride is the resistance you meet when truth comes as a plain command. The Servants’ counsel—if a grand thing would suffice, would you not do it?—exposes the truth: the simplest act when lived as belief is enough to restore wholeness. When you consent and persist in the inner act, the body follows the mind’s recovery, returning to the freshness of a child. Healing is thus a state of awareness you choose and sustain until it manifests outwardly in your life.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and declare, 'I am clean.' Picture stepping into Jordan within, dipping seven times, and feel the renewed life as you hold the new state in your mind.
