A treatment for pride
Dr. Roberto Miranda
(Audio: Spanish)
SUMMARY: There are two types of servants in the Church of Jesus Christ: those who are religious and only know the literal part of the Bible, liturgy, religiosity, and rituals but do not know the supernatural power of God, and those who do know the supernatural power of God and want to be part of that supernatural people. God is preparing a scenario where the Church of Jesus Christ will exercise very powerful authority in the world and be a source of a word of wisdom and a solution to the nations. Elisha discerns the arrogance of the king of Syria and Naaman and wants to show them that the God of Israel cannot be treated as a mere provider of miracles. God requires a humble, simple, broken approach. Naaman is scandalized when Elisha sends his servant to tell him to go to the Jordan River and lie down seven times to be healed. Naaman thought he deserved a grandiose scene but God wants to deal not only with our need but also with our personality. God's plans are comprehensive, and He wants to work in a much more comprehensive way in our lives and use us as His instruments on a large scale.

8 A treatment for pride
There is a sector of the Church of Jesus Christ that is a weak sector and with little experience in the supernatural movement of God, represented by the King of Israel, a mediocre man in his faith and definitely to some extent idolatrous who knows that God exists but does not He has experience with Him, his lifestyle does not lead him to have experiences of the supernatural God.
When the test comes into his life in the form of this blunt letter from the king of Syria asking him for miraculous action, the king tears his clothes, he believes that the king of Syria is looking for an excuse to wage war against him if he fails in the act. order that he gives to heal his servant, and sees everything in a negative way instead of seeing things from the supernatural perspective in which Elisha sees it, who does have experience with the supernatural power of God, and Elisha sees it as a way to exhibit and show that God is real and that God is true, and has the ability to do miraculous things.
