A little story

In God’s eyes, we are all terminally ill and rebellious (Luke 1:79, Ephesians 2:12). No one can cure this dreadful disease and nothing can remove our sinful nature, except God. We may be successful outwardly, but inwardly we are ill.
亞蘭王的元帥乃縵，在他主人面前為大，極受尊寵，因耶和華曾藉他使亞蘭人得勝；他又是大能的勇士，只是患了痲瘋。…亞蘭王說，你可以去，我也會送信給以色列王。於是乃縵手中帶著銀子十他連得，金子六千舍客勒，衣裳十套，就去了；且帶信給以色列王，信上說，現在這信到了你那裏，你就知道我打發臣僕乃縵去見你，是要你治好他的痲瘋。以色列王讀了信就撕裂衣服，說，我豈是神，能使人死、使人活呢？這人竟打發人來，叫我治好一個人的痲瘋。(2 Kings 5:1-7)

God desires to restore us in His way. His way is to become a man (Jesus) and to release the river of salvation through death and resurrection. All is required of us is our willingness to take His way. It is very simple if we are simple. His way becomes very difficult if we are complicated. Again, all is needed is our willing cooperation.
以利沙打發一個使者，對乃縵說，你去在約但河中沐浴七次，你的肉必復原，你就必得潔淨。乃縵卻發怒走了，說，我想他必定出來見我，站著呼求耶和華他神的名，在患處以上搖手，治好這痲瘋。大馬色的河亞罷拿和法珥法，豈不比以色列的一切水更好麼？我不能在那裏沐浴，得潔淨麼？於是氣忿忿的轉身去了。(2 Kings 5:10-12)

When we are willing to take His way, we will experience God’s inward healing. It sounds too good to be true, but that is the way it is. Bathing in Jordan River means we let go who we are and let God come in to supply us. We need to go and God needs to come in. In addition, we need to experience this seven times – our lifetime. We can not graduate from God’s washing and supplying in the church life.
他的僕人進前來，對他說，我父阿，申言者若叫你作一件大事，你豈不作麼？何況說你去沐浴而得潔淨呢？於是乃縵下去，照著神人的話，在約但河裏浸了七次。他的肉復原，好像小孩子的肉，他就潔淨了。(2 Kings 5:13-14)
