  • And his life to end. leprosy starts in
  • 00:02:28.998 --> 00:02:29.966
  • Leprosy starts in your extremities,
  • 00:02:30.033 --> 00:02:30.833
  • Your extremities, and it attacks your nerve
  • 00:02:30.900 --> 00:02:32.335
  • And it attacks your nerve endings and you
  • 00:02:32.402 --> 00:02:33.169
  • Endings and you can't feel injury.
  • 00:02:33.236 --> 00:02:36.406
  • Can't feel injury. because you don't feel injury,
  • 00:02:36.472 --> 00:02:38.107
  • Because you don't feel injury, you continuously wound yourself
  • 00:02:38.174 --> 00:02:39.976
  • You continuously wound yourself and then you lose circulation.
  • 00:02:40.043 --> 00:02:41.711
  • And then you lose circulation. when you lose circulation,
  • 00:02:41.778 --> 00:02:43.046
  • When you lose circulation, the blood no longer
  • 00:02:43.112 --> 00:02:43.947
  • The blood no longer flows to heal that area
  • 00:02:44.013 --> 00:02:45.615
  • Flows to heal that area of the body and eventually
  • 00:02:45.682 --> 00:02:47.250
  • Of the body and eventually the wound becomes
  • 00:02:47.317 --> 00:02:48.251
  • The wound becomes necrotic and starts to rot.
  • 00:02:48.318 --> 00:02:51.020
  • Necrotic and starts to rot. the way that leprosy eventually
  • 00:02:51.087 --> 00:02:51.988
  • The way that leprosy eventually kills you is that it leaves
  • 00:02:52.055 --> 00:02:53.723
  • Kills you is that it leaves the individual who has it
  • 00:02:53.790 --> 00:02:55.358
  • The individual who has it unrecognizable because
  • 00:02:55.425 --> 00:02:56.759
  • Unrecognizable because of the rotted flesh
  • 00:02:56.826 --> 00:02:57.927
  • Of the rotted flesh that has fallen off
  • 00:02:57.994 --> 00:02:58.728
  • That has fallen off of their body.
  • 00:02:58.795 --> 00:03:01.297
  • Of their body. sin does the same
  • 00:03:01.364 --> 00:03:02.332
  • Sin does the same thing to your soul.
  • 00:03:02.398 --> 00:03:04.968
  • Thing to your soul. it starts to numb your senses
  • 00:03:05.034 --> 00:03:06.603
  • It starts to numb your senses to the conscience
  • 00:03:06.669 --> 00:03:07.503
  • To the conscience that god gave you.
  • 00:03:07.570 --> 00:03:09.339
  • That god gave you. and you can no longer
  • 00:03:09.405 --> 00:03:10.206
  • And you can no longer hear the voice
  • 00:03:10.273 --> 00:03:10.873
  • Hear the voice of the holy spirit's conviction.
  • 00:03:10.940 --> 00:03:12.342
  • Of the holy spirit's conviction. not condemnation,
  • 00:03:12.408 --> 00:03:13.476
  • Not condemnation, but conviction.
  • 00:03:13.543 --> 00:03:15.545
  • But conviction. and the quieter his voice gets,
  • 00:03:15.612 --> 00:03:18.214
  • And the quieter his voice gets, you suddenly start
  • 00:03:18.281 --> 00:03:18.948
  • You suddenly start to continuously wound yourself
  • 00:03:19.015 --> 00:03:20.817
  • To continuously wound yourself until your soul rots
  • 00:03:20.883 --> 00:03:22.552
  • Until your soul rots from the inside out
  • 00:03:22.619 --> 00:03:23.686
  • From the inside out and you're no
  • 00:03:23.753 --> 00:03:24.320
  • And you're no longer recognizable.
  • 00:03:24.387 --> 00:03:28.291
  • Longer recognizable. if we're going to solve
  • 00:03:28.358 --> 00:03:29.192
  • If we're going to solve the sin problem,
  • 00:03:29.259 --> 00:03:30.994
  • The sin problem, we have to call it what it is.
  • 00:03:31.060 --> 00:03:33.529
  • We have to call it what it is. it's not a condition.
  • 00:03:33.596 --> 00:03:35.732
  • It's not a condition. it's something that
  • 00:03:35.798 --> 00:03:36.532
  • It's something that we need to cure.
  • 00:03:36.599 --> 00:03:38.501
  • We need to cure. you couldn't call leprosy
  • 00:03:38.568 --> 00:03:39.702
  • You couldn't call leprosy skin irritation.
  • 00:03:39.769 --> 00:03:42.438
  • Skin irritation. you couldn't call leprosy
  • 00:03:42.505 --> 00:03:43.506
  • You couldn't call leprosy a 24-to-48-hour bug.
  • 00:03:43.573 --> 00:03:46.643
  • A 24-to-48-hour bug. somebody says,
  • 00:03:46.709 --> 00:03:47.176
  • Somebody says, "hey, i've got leprosy."
  • 00:03:47.243 --> 00:03:48.244
  • "hey, i've got leprosy." "a little chicken soup
  • 00:03:48.311 --> 00:03:49.245
  • "a little chicken soup and you'll be back
  • 00:03:49.312 --> 00:03:49.779
  • And you'll be back on your feet in no time."
  • 00:03:49.846 --> 00:03:53.082
  • On your feet in no time." it's the same with sin.
  • 00:03:53.149 --> 00:03:54.050
  • It's the same with sin. sin is not a minor
  • 00:03:54.117 --> 00:03:55.018
  • Sin is not a minor behavioral problem.
  • 00:03:55.084 --> 00:03:57.053
  • Behavioral problem. sin is a matter of life
  • 00:03:57.120 --> 00:03:59.088
  • Sin is a matter of life and sin is a matter of death.
  • 00:03:59.155 --> 00:04:02.058
  • And sin is a matter of death. naaman's in a hopeless state
  • 00:04:02.125 --> 00:04:05.194
  • Naaman's in a hopeless state until the bible mentions
  • 00:04:05.261 --> 00:04:06.229
  • Until the bible mentions a young lady that
  • 00:04:06.296 --> 00:04:07.263
  • A young lady that was in naaman's house.
  • 00:04:07.330 --> 00:04:09.766
  • Was in naaman's house. and if there was ever a hero
  • 00:04:09.832 --> 00:04:11.301
  • And if there was ever a hero that we read about in the bible,
  • 00:04:11.367 --> 00:04:12.835
  • That we read about in the bible, although it's only one verse,
  • 00:04:12.902 --> 00:04:14.804
  • Although it's only one verse, it's her.
  • 00:04:14.871 --> 00:04:16.939
  • It's her. because the bible
  • 00:04:17.006 --> 00:04:17.674
  • Because the bible describes her situation.
  • 00:04:17.740 --> 00:04:20.343
  • Describes her situation. in verse 2, it says,
  • 00:04:20.410 --> 00:04:21.477
  • In verse 2, it says, "and the syrians
  • 00:04:21.544 --> 00:04:22.345
  • "and the syrians had gone out on raids,
  • 00:04:22.412 --> 00:04:23.813
  • Had gone out on raids, and they brought back captive
  • 00:04:23.880 --> 00:04:25.848
  • And they brought back captive a young girl from the land
  • 00:04:25.915 --> 00:04:26.816
  • A young girl from the land of israel,
  • 00:04:26.883 --> 00:04:28.651
  • Of israel, and she waited
  • 00:04:28.718 --> 00:04:29.585
  • And she waited on naaman's wife."
  • 00:04:29.652 --> 00:04:31.754
  • On naaman's wife." and when she hears about
  • 00:04:31.821 --> 00:04:32.722
  • And when she hears about naaman's condition
  • 00:04:32.789 --> 00:04:34.957
  • Naaman's condition and the leprosy
  • 00:04:35.024 --> 00:04:35.692
  • And the leprosy on his skin,
  • 00:04:35.758 --> 00:04:37.226
  • On his skin, in verse 3,
  • 00:04:37.293 --> 00:04:38.061
  • In verse 3, she speaks up for one verse,
  • 00:04:38.127 --> 00:04:41.631
  • She speaks up for one verse, and this one verse
  • 00:04:41.698 --> 00:04:42.832
  • And this one verse changes everything.
  • 00:04:42.899 --> 00:04:45.368
  • Changes everything. for it says,
  • 00:04:45.435 --> 00:04:46.169
  • For it says, "then she said to her mistress,
  • 00:04:46.235 --> 00:04:48.738
  • "then she said to her mistress, 'if only my master were
  • 00:04:48.805 --> 00:04:51.207
  • 'if only my master were with the prophet who
  • 00:04:51.274 --> 00:04:52.475
  • With the prophet who is in samaria,
  • 00:04:52.542 --> 00:04:54.277
  • Is in samaria, for he would heal
  • 00:04:54.344 --> 00:04:55.511
  • For he would heal him of his leprosy.'"
  • 00:04:55.578 --> 00:04:58.815
  • Him of his leprosy.'" here's my question
  • 00:04:58.881 --> 00:05:00.016
  • Here's my question and my challenge to you.
  • 00:05:00.083 --> 00:05:00.817
  • And my challenge to you. what do you do with the truth
  • 00:05:00.883 --> 00:05:02.552
  • What do you do with the truth that you possess?
  • 00:05:02.618 --> 00:05:04.721
  • That you possess? it is a matter
  • 00:05:04.787 --> 00:05:05.555
  • It is a matter of life and death.
  • 00:05:05.621 --> 00:05:07.623
  • Of life and death. what do you do with the truth
  • 00:05:07.690 --> 00:05:08.858
  • What do you do with the truth that you possess when
  • 00:05:08.925 --> 00:05:09.826
  • That you possess when the neighbor across
  • 00:05:09.892 --> 00:05:10.793
  • The neighbor across the street is struggling
  • 00:05:10.860 --> 00:05:11.961
  • The street is struggling with the weight of the world
  • 00:05:12.028 --> 00:05:12.962
  • With the weight of the world on his shoulders and chaos
  • 00:05:13.029 --> 00:05:14.530
  • On his shoulders and chaos is tearing his house apart?

  • And he thinks it's brilliant. why?
  • 00:06:36.379 --> 00:06:37.013
  • Why? not because he believes
  • 00:06:37.079 --> 00:06:38.214
  • Not because he believes that the prophet can heal him,
  • 00:06:38.281 --> 00:06:39.482
  • That the prophet can heal him, but he uses this tragedy
  • 00:06:39.549 --> 00:06:41.317
  • But he uses this tragedy for political strategy.
  • 00:06:41.384 --> 00:06:43.820
  • For political strategy. now, pay attention, folks,

  • That naaman wants to go to israel,
  • 00:06:57.066 --> 00:06:58.134
  • To go to israel, and he thinks to himself,
  • 00:06:58.201 --> 00:06:59.602
  • And he thinks to himself, "if naaman stays here and dies,
  • 00:06:59.669 --> 00:07:02.238
  • "if naaman stays here and dies, then the world will know
  • 00:07:02.305 --> 00:07:04.106
  • Then the world will know that our leader is gone
  • 00:07:04.173 --> 00:07:05.708

  • But if he goes to israel and dies,
  • 00:07:09.178 --> 00:07:11.447
  • To israel and dies, then we'll have a reason
  • 00:07:11.514 --> 00:07:12.515
  • Then we'll have a reason to attack israel and blame
  • 00:07:12.582 --> 00:07:13.783
  • To attack israel and blame israel for naaman's death,
  • 00:07:13.850 --> 00:07:15.284
  • Israel for naaman's death, and our enemies
  • 00:07:15.351 --> 00:07:16.319
  • And our enemies will support us as allies."
  • 00:07:16.385 --> 00:07:18.621
  • Will support us as allies." so, the king of syria says,
  • 00:07:18.688 --> 00:07:19.822
  • So, the king of syria says, "this is brilliant.
  • 00:07:19.889 --> 00:07:20.923
  • "this is brilliant. you need to go,

  • He wants a cure for life and death,
  • 00:12:28.864 --> 00:12:30.900

  • But instead of listening to the cure and taking
  • 00:12:42.745 --> 00:12:43.712
  • To the cure and taking action on the cure,
  • 00:12:43.779 --> 00:12:45.447
  • Action on the cure, because he wasn't received
  • 00:12:45.514 --> 00:12:47.283
  • Because he wasn't received like he wanted to be received,
  • 00:12:47.349 --> 00:12:48.918
  • Like he wanted to be received, because he wasn't treated
  • 00:12:48.984 --> 00:12:50.419
  • Because he wasn't treated like he thought he'd be treated,
  • 00:12:50.486 --> 00:12:51.854
  • Like he thought he'd be treated, because he didn't get
  • 00:12:51.921 --> 00:12:52.822

  • And taken into the green room so he could eat hors d'oeuvres
  • 00:12:56.225 --> 00:12:57.626
  • So he could eat hors d'oeuvres before service started,
  • 00:12:57.693 --> 00:13:01.096
  • Before service started, he throws a fit.
  • 00:13:01.163 --> 00:13:04.400
