  • And his life to end. leprosy starts in
  • 00:02:28.008 --> 00:02:28.976
  • Leprosy starts in your extremities,
  • 00:02:29.043 --> 00:02:29.843
  • Your extremities, and it attacks your nerve
  • 00:02:29.910 --> 00:02:31.345
  • And it attacks your nerve endings and you
  • 00:02:31.412 --> 00:02:32.179
  • Endings and you can't feel injury.
  • 00:02:32.246 --> 00:02:35.416
  • Can't feel injury. because you don't feel injury,
  • 00:02:35.482 --> 00:02:37.117
  • Because you don't feel injury, you continuously wound yourself
  • 00:02:37.184 --> 00:02:38.986
  • You continuously wound yourself and then you lose circulation.
  • 00:02:39.053 --> 00:02:40.721
  • And then you lose circulation. when you lose circulation,
  • 00:02:40.788 --> 00:02:42.056
  • When you lose circulation, the blood no longer
  • 00:02:42.122 --> 00:02:42.957
  • The blood no longer flows to heal that area
  • 00:02:43.023 --> 00:02:44.625
  • Flows to heal that area of the body and eventually
  • 00:02:44.692 --> 00:02:46.260
  • Of the body and eventually the wound becomes
  • 00:02:46.327 --> 00:02:47.261
  • The wound becomes necrotic and starts to rot.
  • 00:02:47.328 --> 00:02:50.030
  • Necrotic and starts to rot. the way that leprosy eventually
  • 00:02:50.097 --> 00:02:50.998
  • The way that leprosy eventually kills you is that it leaves
  • 00:02:51.065 --> 00:02:52.733
  • Kills you is that it leaves the individual who has it
  • 00:02:52.800 --> 00:02:54.368
  • The individual who has it unrecognizable because
  • 00:02:54.435 --> 00:02:55.769
  • Unrecognizable because of the rotted flesh
  • 00:02:55.836 --> 00:02:56.937
  • Of the rotted flesh that has fallen off
  • 00:02:57.004 --> 00:02:57.738
  • That has fallen off of their body.
  • 00:02:57.805 --> 00:03:00.307
  • Of their body. sin does the same
  • 00:03:00.374 --> 00:03:01.342
  • Sin does the same thing to your soul.
  • 00:03:01.408 --> 00:03:03.978
  • Thing to your soul. it starts to numb your senses
  • 00:03:04.044 --> 00:03:05.613
  • It starts to numb your senses to the conscience
  • 00:03:05.679 --> 00:03:06.513
  • To the conscience that god gave you.
  • 00:03:06.580 --> 00:03:08.349
  • That god gave you. and you can no longer
  • 00:03:08.415 --> 00:03:09.216
  • And you can no longer hear the voice
  • 00:03:09.283 --> 00:03:09.883
  • Hear the voice of the holy spirit's conviction.
  • 00:03:09.950 --> 00:03:11.352
  • Of the holy spirit's conviction. not condemnation,
  • 00:03:11.418 --> 00:03:12.486
  • Not condemnation, but conviction.
  • 00:03:12.553 --> 00:03:14.555
  • But conviction. and the quieter his voice gets,
  • 00:03:14.622 --> 00:03:17.224
  • And the quieter his voice gets, you suddenly start
  • 00:03:17.291 --> 00:03:17.958
  • You suddenly start to continuously wound yourself
  • 00:03:18.025 --> 00:03:19.827
  • To continuously wound yourself until your soul rots
  • 00:03:19.893 --> 00:03:21.562
  • Until your soul rots from the inside out
  • 00:03:21.629 --> 00:03:22.696
  • From the inside out and you're no
  • 00:03:22.763 --> 00:03:23.330
  • And you're no longer recognizable.
  • 00:03:23.397 --> 00:03:27.301
  • Longer recognizable. if we're going to solve
  • 00:03:27.368 --> 00:03:28.202
  • If we're going to solve the sin problem,
  • 00:03:28.269 --> 00:03:30.004
  • The sin problem, we have to call it what it is.
  • 00:03:30.070 --> 00:03:32.539
  • We have to call it what it is. it's not a condition.
  • 00:03:32.606 --> 00:03:34.742
  • It's not a condition. it's something that
  • 00:03:34.808 --> 00:03:35.542
  • It's something that we need to cure.
  • 00:03:35.609 --> 00:03:37.511
  • We need to cure. you couldn't call leprosy
  • 00:03:37.578 --> 00:03:38.712
  • You couldn't call leprosy skin irritation.
  • 00:03:38.779 --> 00:03:41.448
  • Skin irritation. you couldn't call leprosy
  • 00:03:41.515 --> 00:03:42.516
  • You couldn't call leprosy a 24-to-48-hour bug.
  • 00:03:42.583 --> 00:03:45.653
  • A 24-to-48-hour bug. somebody says,
  • 00:03:45.719 --> 00:03:46.186
  • Somebody says, "hey, i've got leprosy."
  • 00:03:46.253 --> 00:03:47.254
  • "hey, i've got leprosy." "a little chicken soup
  • 00:03:47.321 --> 00:03:48.255
  • "a little chicken soup and you'll be back
  • 00:03:48.322 --> 00:03:48.789
  • And you'll be back on your feet in no time."
  • 00:03:48.856 --> 00:03:52.092
  • On your feet in no time." it's the same with sin.
  • 00:03:52.159 --> 00:03:53.060
  • It's the same with sin. sin is not a minor
  • 00:03:53.127 --> 00:03:54.028
  • Sin is not a minor behavioral problem.
  • 00:03:54.094 --> 00:03:56.063
  • Behavioral problem. sin is a matter of life
  • 00:03:56.130 --> 00:03:58.098
  • Sin is a matter of life and sin is a matter of death.
  • 00:03:58.165 --> 00:04:01.068
  • And sin is a matter of death. naaman's in a hopeless state
  • 00:04:01.135 --> 00:04:04.204
  • Naaman's in a hopeless state until the bible mentions
  • 00:04:04.271 --> 00:04:05.239
  • Until the bible mentions a young lady that
  • 00:04:05.306 --> 00:04:06.273
  • A young lady that was in naaman's house.
  • 00:04:06.340 --> 00:04:08.776
  • Was in naaman's house. and if there was ever a hero
  • 00:04:08.842 --> 00:04:10.311
  • And if there was ever a hero that we read about in the bible,
  • 00:04:10.377 --> 00:04:11.845
  • That we read about in the bible, although it's only one verse,
  • 00:04:11.912 --> 00:04:13.814
  • Although it's only one verse, it's her.
  • 00:04:13.881 --> 00:04:15.949
  • It's her. because the bible
  • 00:04:16.016 --> 00:04:16.684
  • Because the bible describes her situation.
  • 00:04:16.750 --> 00:04:19.353
  • Describes her situation. in verse 2, it says,
  • 00:04:19.420 --> 00:04:20.487
  • In verse 2, it says, "and the syrians
  • 00:04:20.554 --> 00:04:21.355
  • "and the syrians had gone out on raids,
  • 00:04:21.422 --> 00:04:22.823
  • Had gone out on raids, and they brought back captive
  • 00:04:22.890 --> 00:04:24.858
  • And they brought back captive a young girl from the land
  • 00:04:24.925 --> 00:04:25.826
  • A young girl from the land of israel,
  • 00:04:25.893 --> 00:04:27.661
  • Of israel, and she waited
  • 00:04:27.728 --> 00:04:28.595
  • And she waited on naaman's wife."
  • 00:04:28.662 --> 00:04:30.764
  • On naaman's wife." and when she hears about
  • 00:04:30.831 --> 00:04:31.732
  • And when she hears about naaman's condition
  • 00:04:31.799 --> 00:04:33.967
  • Naaman's condition and the leprosy
  • 00:04:34.034 --> 00:04:34.702
  • And the leprosy on his skin,
  • 00:04:34.768 --> 00:04:36.236
  • On his skin, in verse 3,
  • 00:04:36.303 --> 00:04:37.071
  • In verse 3, she speaks up for one verse,
  • 00:04:37.137 --> 00:04:40.641
  • She speaks up for one verse, and this one verse
  • 00:04:40.708 --> 00:04:41.842
  • And this one verse changes everything.
  • 00:04:41.909 --> 00:04:44.378
  • Changes everything. for it says,
  • 00:04:44.445 --> 00:04:45.179
  • For it says, "then she said to her mistress,
  • 00:04:45.245 --> 00:04:47.748
  • "then she said to her mistress, 'if only my master were
  • 00:04:47.815 --> 00:04:50.217
  • 'if only my master were with the prophet who
  • 00:04:50.284 --> 00:04:51.485
  • With the prophet who is in samaria,
  • 00:04:51.552 --> 00:04:53.287
  • Is in samaria, for he would heal
  • 00:04:53.354 --> 00:04:54.521
  • For he would heal him of his leprosy.'"
  • 00:04:54.588 --> 00:04:57.825
  • Him of his leprosy.'" here's my question
  • 00:04:57.891 --> 00:04:59.026
  • Here's my question and my challenge to you.
  • 00:04:59.093 --> 00:04:59.827
  • And my challenge to you. what do you do with the truth
  • 00:04:59.893 --> 00:05:01.562
  • What do you do with the truth that you possess?
  • 00:05:01.628 --> 00:05:03.731
  • That you possess? it is a matter
  • 00:05:03.797 --> 00:05:04.565
  • It is a matter of life and death.
  • 00:05:04.631 --> 00:05:06.633
  • Of life and death. what do you do with the truth
  • 00:05:06.700 --> 00:05:07.868
  • What do you do with the truth that you possess when
  • 00:05:07.935 --> 00:05:08.836
  • That you possess when the neighbor across
  • 00:05:08.902 --> 00:05:09.803
  • The neighbor across the street is struggling
  • 00:05:09.870 --> 00:05:10.971
  • The street is struggling with the weight of the world
  • 00:05:11.038 --> 00:05:11.972
  • With the weight of the world on his shoulders and chaos
  • 00:05:12.039 --> 00:05:13.540

  • And he thinks it's brilliant. why?
  • 00:06:35.389 --> 00:06:36.023
  • Why? not because he believes
  • 00:06:36.089 --> 00:06:37.224
  • Not because he believes that the prophet can heal him,
  • 00:06:37.291 --> 00:06:38.492
  • That the prophet can heal him, but he uses this tragedy
  • 00:06:38.559 --> 00:06:40.327
  • But he uses this tragedy for political strategy.
  • 00:06:40.394 --> 00:06:42.830
  • For political strategy. now, pay attention, folks,
  • 00:06:42.896 --> 00:06:43.931

  • That naaman wants to go to israel,
  • 00:06:56.076 --> 00:06:57.144
  • To go to israel, and he thinks to himself,
  • 00:06:57.211 --> 00:06:58.612
  • And he thinks to himself, "if naaman stays here and dies,
  • 00:06:58.679 --> 00:07:01.248
  • "if naaman stays here and dies, then the world will know
  • 00:07:01.315 --> 00:07:03.116
  • Then the world will know that our leader is gone
  • 00:07:03.183 --> 00:07:04.718
  • That our leader is gone and our enemies will
  • 00:07:04.785 --> 00:07:05.786

  • Want to attack us. but if he goes
  • 00:07:07.387 --> 00:07:08.121
  • But if he goes to israel and dies,
  • 00:07:08.188 --> 00:07:10.457
  • To israel and dies, then we'll have a reason
  • 00:07:10.524 --> 00:07:11.525
  • Then we'll have a reason to attack israel and blame
  • 00:07:11.592 --> 00:07:12.793
  • To attack israel and blame israel for naaman's death,
  • 00:07:12.860 --> 00:07:14.294
  • Israel for naaman's death, and our enemies
  • 00:07:14.361 --> 00:07:15.329
  • And our enemies will support us as allies."
  • 00:07:15.395 --> 00:07:17.631
  • Will support us as allies." so, the king of syria says,
  • 00:07:17.698 --> 00:07:18.832
  • So, the king of syria says, "this is brilliant.
  • 00:07:18.899 --> 00:07:19.933
  • "this is brilliant. you need to go,

  • Because he wasn't received like he wanted to be received,
  • 00:12:46.359 --> 00:12:47.928
  • Like he wanted to be received, because he wasn't treated
  • 00:12:47.994 --> 00:12:49.429
  • Because he wasn't treated like he thought he'd be treated,
  • 00:12:49.496 --> 00:12:50.864
  • Like he thought he'd be treated, because he didn't get
