Seven times

“So Naaman went down and plunged into the Jordan seven times at the word of the man of God. His flesh became again like the flesh of a little child, and he was clean.” (2 KGS 5: 14)

Simple strategy—“plunge into the Jordan seven times” and “your flesh becomes again like the flesh of a little child,” with one condition—“at the word of the man of God.” It is not water which heals but the “the word of the man of God”—“I trust in His word.”

“I hope in the LORD, I trust in his word; with him there is kindness and plenteous redemption.” (Gospel Acclamation)
