Sometimes, our deliverance is in the details. In 2 Kings 5, what if Naaman only dipped 6 times instead of 7? Do you think he would have been healed? In Mark 2, Jesus told the paralyzed man to stand up, pick up his mat, and walk. What if the paralyzed man logically wanted to crawl first, before he walked, to test Jesus’s healing abilities? Do you think his deliverance would have taken place?

In our own lives, God has given us specific instructions. Some of these instructions are illogical. But as we follow them to the letter, we’ll experience deliverance, breakthrough, and blessings.

If He tells you to eat oranges for a week to get rid of the pain in your back, follow those specific instructions. If He’s told you to not watch TV for a month to receive deliverance from a messy divorce, do it. Our breakthrough comes when we trust Him wholeheartedly. Don’t try to figure out how what He’s telling us to do is related to our current problem. Just do it and experience God’s best.

‭‭2 Kings‬ ‭4:3‭-‬6‬ ‭NLT‬‬ [3] And Elisha said, “Borrow as many empty jars as you can from your friends and neighbors. [4] Then go into your house with your sons and shut the door behind you. Pour olive oil from your flask into the jars, setting each one aside when it is filled.” [5] So she did as she was told. Her sons kept bringing jars to her, and she filled one after another. [6] Soon every container was full to the brim! “Bring me another jar,” she said to one of her sons. “There aren’t any more!” he told her. And then the olive oil stopped flowing.
