Of somebody who paid the price of thinking like a child,

Of thinking like a child, but not to be negative,
00:00:26.012 --> 00:00:26.913

00:00:49.269 --> 00:00:50.403
That happens to all of us, you know?
00:00:50.470 --> 00:00:53.206
You know? all of us.
00:00:53.273 --> 00:00:55.542
All of us. something that is passing
00:00:55.608 --> 00:00:57.710
Something that is passing becomes something permanent.
00:00:57.777 --> 00:00:58.912
Becomes something permanent. here's what i mean.
00:00:58.978 --> 00:01:00.980
Here's what i mean. we have emotions,
00:01:01.047 --> 00:01:01.881
We have emotions, whether it's anger,
00:01:01.948 --> 00:01:02.682
Whether it's anger, we have emotions and feelings,
00:01:02.749 --> 00:01:04.584
We have emotions and feelings, whether it's self-pity.

Whether it's self-pity. we have emotions and feelings,

We have emotions and feelings, and sometimes even just
00:01:06.920 --> 00:01:08.288
And sometimes even just temptations that seem to come
00:01:08.354 --> 00:01:09.489
Temptations that seem to come from the pit of hell
00:01:09.556 --> 00:01:11.291
From the pit of hell and they are passing emotions.
00:01:11.357 --> 00:01:15.895
And they are passing emotions. but the temptation of the enemy
00:01:15.962 --> 00:01:16.996
But the temptation of the enemy is for you to take something
00:01:17.063 --> 00:01:18.164
Is for you to take something that is passing and turn it into
00:01:18.231 --> 00:01:20.900
That is passing and turn it into something permanent so that not
00:01:20.967 --> 00:01:25.305
Something permanent so that not only do you feel anger passing,
00:01:25.371 --> 00:01:27.974
Only do you feel anger passing, but you lash out in anger

And say something to someone
00:01:30.410 --> 00:01:32.345
And say something to someone that you love that cannot be
00:01:32.412 --> 00:01:34.447
That you love that cannot be undone with a simple apology.

Undone with a simple apology. what did you do?
00:01:37.884 --> 00:01:38.918
What did you do? you took a passing frustration,
00:01:38.985 --> 00:01:42.455
You took a passing frustration, gave it an external expression,
00:01:42.522 --> 00:01:44.924
Gave it an external expression, and did permanent damage.
00:01:44.991 --> 00:01:50.697
And did permanent damage. i want you to stop sacrificing

Through the moment, but the moment is passing.
00:02:28.902 --> 00:02:31.104
But the moment is passing. and after the anxiety has passed
00:02:31.171 --> 00:02:33.239
And after the anxiety has passed and after you have trained

And after you have trained your body to be addicted
00:02:34.440 --> 00:02:36.142
Your body to be addicted to stimuli that

To stimuli that keep you enslaved,
00:02:37.644 --> 00:02:38.912
Keep you enslaved, now you have a lasting habit

[applause]
00:03:33.099 --> 00:03:37.437
I felt that

When i was preparing. i felt that for every woman that

I felt that for every woman that i went to speak to in recovery

I went to speak to in recovery this week at dove's nest,
00:03:43.543 --> 00:03:45.178
This week at dove's nest, some of them were
00:03:45.245 --> 00:03:46.212
Some of them were looking at me like,
00:03:46.279 --> 00:03:47.113
Looking at me like, "please tell them this younger.
00:03:47.180 --> 00:03:49.249
"please tell them this younger. please tell them this younger."
00:03:49.315 --> 00:03:51.084
Please tell them this younger." don't sacrifice what
00:03:51.150 --> 00:03:52.819

00:03:52.885 --> 00:03:54.621
Is permanent, your character. don't sacrifice what
00:03:54.687 --> 00:03:55.688
Don't sacrifice what is permanent, your calling.
00:03:55.755 --> 00:03:57.490

With god for popularity with people.
00:04:01.294 --> 00:04:01.928
[applause]
00:04:02.295 --> 00:04:03.263
They can't put you in,
00:04:03.730 --> 00:04:04.530
They can't put you in, they can't vote you out.
00:04:04.597 --> 00:04:05.832
They can't vote you out. he is god and him only
00:04:05.898 --> 00:04:09.269
He is god and him only shall you serve.
00:04:09.335 --> 00:04:10.069
[applause]
00:04:10.436 --> 00:04:13.606
So y'all sit down.
00:04:14.641 --> 00:04:16.276
So y'all sit down. this supposed
00:04:16.342 --> 00:04:16.876
This supposed to be love chapter.
00:04:16.943 --> 00:04:18.611
To be love chapter. it's supposed to be love week.
00:04:18.678 --> 00:04:21.080
It's supposed to be love week. i love you enough
00:04:21.147 --> 00:04:21.814
I love you enough to tell you that.
00:04:21.881 --> 00:04:24.350
To tell you that. stop sacrificing
00:04:24.417 --> 00:04:25.551
Stop sacrificing what is permanent.
00:04:25.618 --> 00:04:26.386
What is permanent. that's what the church
00:04:26.452 --> 00:04:26.986
That's what the church at corinth was doing.
00:04:27.053 --> 00:04:27.820
At corinth was doing. they were sacrificing
00:04:27.887 --> 00:04:28.688
They were sacrificing what was permanent, love,
00:04:28.755 --> 00:04:31.057
What was permanent, love, for what was passing,
00:04:31.124 --> 00:04:32.025
For what was passing, spiritual gifts.
00:04:32.091 --> 00:04:34.527
Spiritual gifts. so, they would sacrifice
00:04:34.594 --> 00:04:35.528
So, they would sacrifice their love for one another
00:04:35.595 --> 00:04:37.397
Their love for one another in order to show off.
00:04:37.463 --> 00:04:40.233
In order to show off. they were sacrificing
00:04:40.300 --> 00:04:41.768
They were sacrificing what was permanent
00:04:41.834 --> 00:04:43.336
What was permanent to satisfy what was passing.
00:04:43.403 --> 00:04:46.406
To satisfy what was passing. because even if you do go off
00:04:46.472 --> 00:04:47.974
Because even if you do go off and say what you want to say,
00:04:48.041 --> 00:04:49.108
And say what you want to say, it's only gonna feel good
00:04:49.175 --> 00:04:49.842
It's only gonna feel good for about the five seconds
00:04:49.909 --> 00:04:51.077
For about the five seconds it takes you to realize
00:04:51.144 --> 00:04:52.245
It takes you to realize that now you got to spend
00:04:52.312 --> 00:04:53.112
That now you got to spend five days recovering from what
00:04:53.179 --> 00:04:54.747
Five days recovering from what felt good for five seconds.
00:04:54.814 --> 00:04:56.416
Felt good for five seconds. was the five seconds
00:04:56.482 --> 00:04:57.617
Was the five seconds really worth it, dude?
00:04:57.684 --> 00:05:02.522
Really worth it, dude? passing versus permanent.
00:05:02.588 --> 00:05:05.758
Passing versus permanent. so, this is an odd story
00:05:05.825 --> 00:05:08.194
So, this is an odd story to connect with
00:05:08.261 --> 00:05:08.928
To connect with 1 corinthians 13.
00:05:08.995 --> 00:05:10.029
1 corinthians 13. i'mma just tell you right now,
00:05:10.096 --> 00:05:12.699
I'mma just tell you right now, but the way the lord showed it
00:05:12.765 --> 00:05:14.367
But the way the lord showed it to me was a principle
00:05:14.434 --> 00:05:16.636
To me was a principle and a picture.
00:05:16.703 --> 00:05:18.171
And a picture. the principle is,
00:05:18.237 --> 00:05:19.639
The principle is, stop sacrificing
00:05:19.706 --> 00:05:21.274
Stop sacrificing what's permanent to satisfy
00:05:21.341 --> 00:05:23.910
What's permanent to satisfy what's passing, okay?
00:05:23.976 --> 00:05:25.945
What's passing, okay? the picture is a man
00:05:26.012 --> 00:05:27.046
The picture is a man named naaman,
00:05:27.113 --> 00:05:27.647
Named naaman, who was a great general
00:05:27.714 --> 00:05:29.649
Who was a great general of an army of the enemies
00:05:29.716 --> 00:05:32.352
Of an army of the enemies of israel called aram.
00:05:32.418 --> 00:05:34.520
Of israel called aram. ben-hadad ii was the king,
00:05:34.587 --> 00:05:37.290
Ben-hadad ii was the king, and naaman was his man.
00:05:37.357 --> 00:05:40.927
And naaman was his man. naaman was a great man,
00:05:40.993 --> 00:05:42.161
Naaman was a great man, the bible says,
00:05:42.228 --> 00:05:44.230
The bible says, but now i'm gonna stop
00:05:44.297 --> 00:05:45.631
But now i'm gonna stop right there and preach.
00:05:45.698 --> 00:05:46.833
Right there and preach. he was a great man, but.
00:05:46.899 --> 00:05:50.536
He was a great man, but. he was a great man, but.
00:05:50.603 --> 00:05:52.171
He was a great man, but. how many of you
00:05:52.238 --> 00:05:52.939
How many of you i just described you
00:05:53.005 --> 00:05:55.007
I just described you in one incomplete sentence?
00:05:55.074 --> 00:05:58.411
In one incomplete sentence? i'm a good person, but.
00:05:58.478 --> 00:06:00.947
I'm a good person, but. i'm a christian, but.
00:06:01.013 --> 00:06:01.714
I'm a christian, but. well, he was a great man,
00:06:01.781 --> 00:06:03.149
Well, he was a great man, but he had leprosy.
00:06:03.216 --> 00:06:06.386
But he had leprosy. he had leprosy.
00:06:06.452 --> 00:06:07.487
He had leprosy. leprosy was
00:06:07.553 --> 00:06:08.054
Leprosy was an incurable skin condition.
00:06:08.121 --> 00:06:10.022
An incurable skin condition. of course,
00:06:10.089 --> 00:06:10.823
Of course, you've heard of leprosy,
00:06:10.890 --> 00:06:11.691
You've heard of leprosy, but in this time it's hard
00:06:11.758 --> 00:06:13.292
But in this time it's hard for us to imagine what the cost
00:06:13.359 --> 00:06:15.661
For us to imagine what the cost of carrying that condition
00:06:15.728 --> 00:06:17.096
Of carrying that condition would have been.
00:06:17.163 --> 00:06:18.664
Would have been. not only was it incurable,
00:06:18.731 --> 00:06:21.234
Not only was it incurable, but it was completely isolating.
00:06:21.300 --> 00:06:23.736
But it was completely isolating. so, what is it like to be
00:06:23.803 --> 00:06:25.171
So, what is it like to be a leader who is also a leper?
00:06:25.238 --> 00:06:29.142
A leader who is also a leper? he commanded men,
00:06:29.208 --> 00:06:30.276
He commanded men, but he could not cure his skin.
00:06:30.343 --> 00:06:32.712
But he could not cure his skin. there are conditions in the room
00:06:32.779 --> 00:06:34.313
There are conditions in the room that confound you.
00:06:34.380 --> 00:06:36.282
That confound you. you cannot understand
00:06:36.349 --> 00:06:37.417
You cannot understand how you can be so adept
00:06:37.483 --> 00:06:38.785
How you can be so adept at business and so detached
00:06:38.851 --> 00:06:41.387
At business and so detached emotionally at home.
00:06:41.454 --> 00:06:42.722
Emotionally at home. you do not understand how
00:06:42.789 --> 00:06:43.890
You do not understand how you can be so good at getting
00:06:43.956 --> 00:06:45.291
Everyone else to connect
00:06:45.391 --> 00:06:46.492
Everyone else to connect with you except the ones
00:06:46.559 --> 00:06:48.127
With you except the ones you love the most.
00:06:48.194 --> 00:06:48.861
You love the most. you cannot understand why
00:06:48.928 --> 00:06:50.430
You cannot understand why it has been possible for you
00:06:50.496 --> 00:06:51.831
It has been possible for you to discipline this area
00:06:51.898 --> 00:06:52.765
To discipline this area of your life but not get
00:06:52.832 --> 00:06:54.801
Of your life but not get that one under control.
00:06:54.867 --> 00:06:55.701
That one under control. he was a great man, but.
00:06:55.768 --> 00:06:59.338
He was a great man, but. high position,
00:06:59.405 --> 00:07:01.040
Leprous condition.
00:07:01.140 --> 00:07:02.742
Leprous condition. and into this juxtaposition
00:07:02.809 --> 00:07:04.444
And into this juxtaposition of his realities,
00:07:04.510 --> 00:07:05.445
Of his realities, which are both very real,
00:07:05.511 --> 00:07:06.379
Which are both very real, the bible says that there was
00:07:06.446 --> 00:07:08.247
The bible says that there was a little girl living at
00:07:08.314 --> 00:07:09.248
A little girl living at his house that one day,
00:07:09.315 --> 00:07:10.283
His house that one day, perhaps seeing him
00:07:10.349 --> 00:07:11.350
Perhaps seeing him change out of his armor,
00:07:11.417 --> 00:07:14.687
Change out of his armor, notices the spots of leprosy
00:07:14.754 --> 00:07:16.189
Notices the spots of leprosy that were beginning to spread.
00:07:16.255 --> 00:07:18.124
That were beginning to spread. in fact, the bible says
00:07:18.191 --> 00:07:19.192
In fact, the bible says that it was a spot,
00:07:19.258 --> 00:07:21.294
That it was a spot, so they caught it early.
00:07:21.360 --> 00:07:24.464
So they caught it early. and the little girl didn't have
00:07:24.530 --> 00:07:25.698
And the little girl didn't have the audacity to say it to naaman
00:07:25.765 --> 00:07:27.700
The audacity to say it to naaman because she was an israelite
00:07:27.767 --> 00:07:28.935
Because she was an israelite and she was actually taken as
00:07:29.001 --> 00:07:30.236
And she was actually taken as a slave to serve in this house.
00:07:30.303 --> 00:07:32.505
A slave to serve in this house. so, it's uncommon that she would
00:07:32.572 --> 00:07:33.840
So, it's uncommon that she would be the one to voice this idea,
00:07:33.906 --> 00:07:36.209
Be the one to voice this idea, but she did.
00:07:36.275 --> 00:07:37.844
But she did. you might be surprised
00:07:37.910 --> 00:07:38.678
You might be surprised who god will speak through
00:07:38.744 --> 00:07:39.579
Who god will speak through in your life as well.
00:07:39.645 --> 00:07:40.446
In your life as well. she said, "if it were possible
00:07:40.513 --> 00:07:44.217
She said, "if it were possible for naaman to go and see
00:07:44.283 --> 00:07:45.384
For naaman to go and see the prophet elisha in israel,
00:07:45.451 --> 00:07:48.888
The prophet elisha in israel, he could cure him."
00:07:48.955 --> 00:07:51.757
He could cure him." elisha is amazing with miracles.
00:07:51.824 --> 00:07:53.693
Elisha is amazing with miracles. he helped this widow who was
00:07:53.759 --> 00:07:58.231
He helped this widow who was about to have to sell her sons
00:07:58.297 --> 00:07:59.365
About to have to sell her sons into slavery with just
00:07:59.432 --> 00:08:00.266
Into slavery with just a little bit of oil.
00:08:00.333 --> 00:08:02.235
A little bit of oil. he -- i know you're not
00:08:02.301 --> 00:08:04.303
He -- i know you're not gonna believe this,
00:08:04.370 --> 00:08:04.904
Gonna believe this, but he one time called
00:08:04.971 --> 00:08:06.572
But he one time called for rain and there was
00:08:06.639 --> 00:08:07.306
For rain and there was a drought and water came out
00:08:07.373 --> 00:08:08.841
A drought and water came out of nowhere when he spoke
00:08:08.908 --> 00:08:10.109
Of nowhere when he spoke the word of the lord.
00:08:10.176 --> 00:08:11.043
The word of the lord. if he could get to elisha,
00:08:11.110 --> 00:08:11.844
If he could get to elisha, it'd be amazing.
00:08:11.911 --> 00:08:15.081
It'd be amazing. so naaman did it.
00:08:15.147 --> 00:08:17.183
He did it.
00:08:17.283 --> 00:08:17.617
He did it. how hard would that be,
00:08:17.683 --> 00:08:18.317
How hard would that be, by the way?
00:08:18.384 --> 00:08:19.886
By the way? we're talking about
00:08:19.952 --> 00:08:20.653
We're talking about the hard part.
00:08:20.720 --> 00:08:21.621
The hard part. how hard would it be to go
00:08:21.687 --> 00:08:23.422
How hard would it be to go to your enemy for help?
00:08:23.489 --> 00:08:28.628
To your enemy for help? he has to humble
00:08:28.694 --> 00:08:29.262
He has to humble himself to do that.
00:08:29.328 --> 00:08:30.997
Himself to do that. and he makes a journey,
00:08:31.063 --> 00:08:31.998
And he makes a journey, it's about 200 miles.
00:08:32.064 --> 00:08:34.133
It's about 200 miles. but he didn't just
00:08:34.200 --> 00:08:34.934
But he didn't just make the journey,
00:08:35.001 --> 00:08:35.434
Make the journey, he had to go to the king
00:08:35.501 --> 00:08:36.302
He had to go to the king and get a letter from the king
00:08:36.369 --> 00:08:37.603
And get a letter from the king to take to the prophet,
00:08:37.670 --> 00:08:38.671
To take to the prophet, 'cause you can't just show up
00:08:38.738 --> 00:08:39.605
'cause you can't just show up and tell the prophet
00:08:39.672 --> 00:08:40.506
And tell the prophet you want to be healed.
00:08:40.573 --> 00:08:42.808
You got to have some
00:08:42.909 --> 00:08:43.976
You got to have some letter of recommendation,
00:08:44.043 --> 00:08:45.244
Letter of recommendation, some somebody to help you
00:08:45.311 --> 00:08:47.280
Some somebody to help you with entree into the courts
00:08:47.346 --> 00:08:49.282
With entree into the courts of a great prophet.
00:08:49.348 --> 00:08:50.216
Of a great prophet. and so, the king says,
00:08:50.283 --> 00:08:51.584
And so, the king says, "sure, i'll write you a letter."
00:08:51.651 --> 00:08:52.785
"sure, i'll write you a letter." and he writes a letter to say
00:08:52.852 --> 00:08:54.186
And he writes a letter to say to the king of israel,
00:08:54.253 --> 00:08:55.788
To the king of israel, "would you have your prophet
00:08:55.855 --> 00:08:57.189
"would you have your prophet heal my commander?"
00:08:57.256 --> 00:08:59.692
Heal my commander?" so, naaman makes
00:08:59.759 --> 00:09:00.660
So, naaman makes the journey and he loads up.
00:09:00.726 --> 00:09:01.827
The journey and he loads up. and i want to pick up here
00:09:01.894 --> 00:09:02.728
And i want to pick up here in 2 kings and not just recap,
00:09:02.795 --> 00:09:04.697
In 2 kings and not just recap, but show you a little bit of
00:09:04.764 --> 00:09:05.898
This story in verse 4, please.
00:09:05.998 --> 00:09:09.969
This story in verse 4, please. "naaman went to his master
00:09:10.036 --> 00:09:10.903
"naaman went to his master and told him what the girl
00:09:10.970 --> 00:09:11.737
And told him what the girl from israel had said.
00:09:11.804 --> 00:09:15.274
From israel had said. 'by all means, go,'
00:09:15.341 --> 00:09:16.242
'by all means, go,' the king of arum replied.
00:09:16.309 --> 00:09:17.910
The king of arum replied. 'i'll send a letter
00:09:17.977 --> 00:09:18.811
'i'll send a letter to the king of israel.'"
00:09:18.878 --> 00:09:21.147
To the king of israel.'" so, i just told you
00:09:21.213 --> 00:09:21.847
So, i just told you all this, but watch this
00:09:21.914 --> 00:09:22.782
All this, but watch this part that happens next.
00:09:22.848 --> 00:09:24.150
Part that happens next. "naaman left taking with him,"
00:09:24.216 --> 00:09:26.852
"naaman left taking with him," yeah.
00:09:26.919 --> 00:09:27.420
Yeah. "naaman left taking with
00:09:27.486 --> 00:09:28.955
"naaman left taking with him ten talents of silver,
00:09:29.021 --> 00:09:31.257
Him ten talents of silver, six thousand shekels of gold
00:09:31.324 --> 00:09:32.692
Six thousand shekels of gold and ten sets of clothing."
00:09:32.758 --> 00:09:35.361
And ten sets of clothing." he's traveling heavy.
00:09:35.428 --> 00:09:37.129
He's traveling heavy. "the letter that he took
00:09:37.196 --> 00:09:37.930
"the letter that he took to the king of israel read,
00:09:37.997 --> 00:09:39.432
To the king of israel read, 'with this letter,
00:09:39.498 --> 00:09:40.700
'with this letter, i am sending my servant
00:09:40.766 --> 00:09:44.437
I am sending my servant naaman you so that you may
00:09:44.503 --> 00:09:46.105
Naaman you so that you may cure him of his leprosy.'"
00:09:46.172 --> 00:09:48.341
Cure him of his leprosy.'" now, when the letter
00:09:48.407 --> 00:09:49.175
Now, when the letter got to the king, come back
00:09:49.241 --> 00:09:50.977
Got to the king, come back to me for a moment, church,
00:09:51.043 --> 00:09:52.078
To me for a moment, church, i want you to see this moment.
00:09:52.144 --> 00:09:53.679
I want you to see this moment. the king says --
00:09:53.746 --> 00:09:55.948
The king says -- well, he tears his robes
00:09:56.015 --> 00:09:58.317
Well, he tears his robes and says, "am i god?
00:09:58.384 --> 00:10:01.220
And says, "am i god? can i kill
00:10:01.287 --> 00:10:02.121
Can i kill and bring back to life?
00:10:02.188 --> 00:10:04.023
And bring back to life? why does this fellow
00:10:04.090 --> 00:10:05.291
Why does this fellow send someone to me to be
00:10:05.358 --> 00:10:07.126
Send someone to me to be cured of his leprosy?
00:10:07.193 --> 00:10:09.362
Cured of his leprosy? see how he is trying
00:10:09.428 --> 00:10:10.596
See how he is trying to pick a fight
00:10:10.663 --> 00:10:12.031
To pick a fight or a quarrel with me."
00:10:12.098 --> 00:10:13.833
Or a quarrel with me." in other words,
00:10:13.899 --> 00:10:14.333
In other words, the king is saying,
00:10:14.400 --> 00:10:15.901
The king is saying, "this is impossible.
00:10:15.968 --> 00:10:17.403
"this is impossible. but," verse 8 says that,
00:10:17.470 --> 00:10:20.206
But," verse 8 says that, "when elisha, the man of god,
00:10:20.272 --> 00:10:23.843
"when elisha, the man of god, heard that the king of israel
00:10:23.909 --> 00:10:25.978
Heard that the king of israel had torn his robes,
00:10:26.045 --> 00:10:27.546
Had torn his robes, he sent him this message,
00:10:27.613 --> 00:10:29.315
He sent him this message, 'why have you torn your robes?
00:10:29.382 --> 00:10:31.584
'why have you torn your robes? have the man come to me
00:10:31.651 --> 00:10:34.153
Have the man come to me and he will know that there
00:10:34.220 --> 00:10:36.255
And he will know that there is a prophet in israel.'"
00:10:36.322 --> 00:10:39.725
In other words,
00:10:39.825 --> 00:10:40.226
In other words, turn to your neighbor and say,
00:10:40.292 --> 00:10:40.960
Turn to your neighbor and say, "it's not hard for god."
00:10:41.027 --> 00:10:42.194
"it's not hard for god." >> congregation: it's not
00:10:42.261 --> 00:10:42.762
>> congregation: it's not hard for god.
00:10:42.828 --> 00:10:43.329
Hard for god. >> it's not hard for god.
00:10:43.396 --> 00:10:45.297
>> it's not hard for god. you tearing your --
00:10:45.364 --> 00:10:46.032
You tearing your -- what are you tearing
00:10:46.098 --> 00:10:46.565
What are you tearing your robes about?
00:10:46.632 --> 00:10:47.667
Your robes about? you think god, who creates life
00:10:47.733 --> 00:10:50.069
Can't restore life?
00:10:50.169 --> 00:10:51.837
Can't restore life? you think god, who has power
00:10:51.904 --> 00:10:53.906
You think god, who has power over the grave cannot raise
00:10:53.973 --> 00:10:56.242
Over the grave cannot raise this man from his condition
00:10:56.308 --> 00:10:57.843
This man from his condition before he dies of it?
00:10:57.910 --> 00:10:59.445
Before he dies of it? you think this
00:10:59.512 --> 00:11:00.346
You think this is too hard for god?
00:11:00.413 --> 00:11:01.947
Is too hard for god? nothing is too hard for god.
00:11:02.014 --> 00:11:04.083
Nothing is too hard for god. nothing is impossible for him.
00:11:04.150 --> 00:11:06.752
Nothing makes him sweat.
00:11:06.852 --> 00:11:07.953
Nothing makes him sweat. nothing makes him shocked.
00:11:08.020 --> 00:11:09.355
Nothing makes him shocked. nothing makes him shudder.
00:11:09.422 --> 00:11:10.656
Nothing makes him shudder. nothing makes him back up.
00:11:10.723 --> 00:11:12.024
Nothing makes him back up. nothing makes him recalculate.
00:11:12.091 --> 00:11:13.726
Nothing makes him recalculate. nothing makes him
00:11:13.793 --> 00:11:14.694
Nothing makes him count the cost.
00:11:14.760 --> 00:11:15.428
Count the cost. he's got more than
00:11:15.494 --> 00:11:16.228
He's got more than enough to go around.
00:11:16.295 --> 00:11:17.663
Enough to go around. you think this is hard for god?
00:11:17.730 --> 00:11:19.732
You think this is hard for god? this is no problem for god.
00:11:19.799 --> 00:11:21.600
This is no problem for god. this is easy for god.
00:11:21.667 --> 00:11:23.803
This is easy for god. and so, elisha sends a message,
00:11:23.869 --> 00:11:26.472
And so, elisha sends a message, "bring him to me."
00:11:26.539 --> 00:11:27.173
"bring him to me." and verse 9 sounds like
00:11:27.239 --> 00:11:28.641
Everything is going great,
00:11:28.741 --> 00:11:29.775
Everything is going great, "so naaman went with
00:11:29.842 --> 00:11:31.544
"so naaman went with his horses and chariots,"
00:11:31.610 --> 00:11:33.179
His horses and chariots," i'm about to show
00:11:33.245 --> 00:11:33.713
I'm about to show y'all something,
00:11:33.779 --> 00:11:34.313
Y'all something, blew my mind when i saw it,
00:11:34.380 --> 00:11:35.281
Blew my mind when i saw it, "and stopped at
00:11:35.347 --> 00:11:36.849
"and stopped at the door of elisha's house."
00:11:36.916 --> 00:11:38.484
The door of elisha's house." "i'm about to get my miracle.
00:11:38.551 --> 00:11:39.852
This is amazing.
00:11:39.952 --> 00:11:40.953
This is amazing. i traveled 200 miles
00:11:41.020 --> 00:11:42.521
I traveled 200 miles with 6,000 shekels
00:11:42.588 --> 00:11:44.323
With 6,000 shekels but it was worth it.
00:11:44.390 --> 00:11:45.758
But it was worth it. i had to get a letter
00:11:45.825 --> 00:11:46.592
I had to get a letter from the king to the king
00:11:46.659 --> 00:11:47.727
From the king to the king but it was worth it.
00:11:47.793 --> 00:11:49.095
But it was worth it. i'm having to risk everything by
00:11:49.161 --> 00:11:50.696
Being here in enemy territory,
00:11:50.796 --> 00:11:52.698
Being here in enemy territory, but it's worth it.
00:11:52.765 --> 00:11:53.666
But it's worth it. i am right here at the door
00:11:53.733 --> 00:11:55.468
I am right here at the door and i know this man has what
00:11:55.534 --> 00:11:57.369
And i know this man has what i need and he can do it.
00:11:57.436 --> 00:11:59.171
I need and he can do it. he said it's not even
00:11:59.238 --> 00:11:59.939
He said it's not even hard for him.
00:12:00.005 --> 00:12:00.940
Hard for him. he said all i have
00:12:01.006 --> 00:12:02.208
He said all i have to do is come.
00:12:02.274 --> 00:12:03.743
To do is come. so, i'mma come,
00:12:03.809 --> 00:12:04.410
So, i'mma come, i'mma knock on the door.

I'mma knock on the door. he's going to come out.
00:12:05.478 --> 00:12:06.512
He's going to come out. he's going to do a little thing,
00:12:06.579 --> 00:12:07.880
He's going to do a little thing, a little dance, a little wave,
00:12:07.947 --> 00:12:09.682
A little dance, a little wave, a little hallelujah, a little
00:12:09.749 --> 00:12:11.016
A little hallelujah, a little thank you jesus, a little...
00:12:11.083 --> 00:12:12.084
[speaking in tongues]
00:12:12.384 --> 00:12:13.152
Whatever they do
00:12:13.619 --> 00:12:14.053
Whatever they do over here in israel,
00:12:14.120 --> 00:12:14.820
Over here in israel, whatever they do over there
00:12:14.887 --> 00:12:16.322
Whatever they do over there at the pentecostal church,
00:12:16.388 --> 00:12:17.356
At the pentecostal church, whatever they do at
00:12:17.423 --> 00:12:18.124
Whatever they do at the episcopalian church,
00:12:18.190 --> 00:12:19.125
Whatever they do,
00:12:19.225 --> 00:12:20.059
Whatever they do, whatever their sign,
00:12:20.126 --> 00:12:20.793
Whatever their sign, whatever their method,
00:12:20.860 --> 00:12:21.560
Whatever their method, he's gonna do that for me
00:12:21.627 --> 00:12:22.895
He's gonna do that for me and the spot's gonna go away."
00:12:22.962 --> 00:12:23.896
And verse 10 says,
00:12:23.996 --> 00:12:25.631
And verse 10 says, "elisha sent
00:12:25.698 --> 00:12:27.333
"elisha sent a messenger to say to him,
00:12:27.399 --> 00:12:30.836
A messenger to say to him, 'go wash yourself seven times
00:12:30.903 --> 00:12:33.939
'go wash yourself seven times in the jordan and your flesh
00:12:34.006 --> 00:12:36.475
In the jordan and your flesh will be restored

Will be restored and you will be cleansed.'
00:12:38.344 --> 00:12:44.750
And you will be cleansed.' but naaman went away angry
00:12:44.817 --> 00:12:51.524
But naaman went away angry and said, 'i thought,'"
00:12:51.590 --> 00:13:04.370
And said, 'i thought,'" i thought, i thought,"
00:13:04.436 --> 00:13:08.440
I thought, i thought," well, put it back on
00:13:08.507 --> 00:13:09.441
Well, put it back on the scripture screen, boys.
00:13:09.508 --> 00:13:11.777
The scripture screen, boys. "that he would surely come out
00:13:11.844 --> 00:13:15.247
"that he would surely come out to me and stand and call on
00:13:15.314 --> 00:13:21.387
To me and stand and call on the name of the lord his god,
00:13:21.453 --> 00:13:24.056
The name of the lord his god, wave his hand over the spot."
00:13:24.123 --> 00:13:28.627
Wave his hand over the spot." this guy had it down
00:13:28.694 --> 00:13:31.530
To a science what god
00:13:31.630 --> 00:13:34.667
To a science what god was supposed to do for him.
00:13:34.733 --> 00:13:38.437
Was supposed to do for him. he had it down to the detail.
00:13:38.504 --> 00:13:40.840
He had it down to the detail. here's how it's gonna go,
00:13:40.906 --> 00:13:41.473
Here's how it's gonna go, he's gonna come,
00:13:41.540 --> 00:13:42.775
He's gonna come, he's gonna stand,
00:13:42.842 --> 00:13:43.642
He's gonna stand, he's gonna wave,
00:13:43.709 --> 00:13:44.610
He's gonna wave, he's gonna say,
00:13:44.677 --> 00:13:45.811
He's gonna pray,
00:13:45.911 --> 00:13:46.712
He's gonna pray, it's gonna go.
00:13:46.779 --> 00:13:47.646
It's gonna go. he's gonna come,

He's gonna come, he's gonna stand,

He's gonna stand, he's gonna wave,

He's gonna wave, it's gonna go.

It's gonna go. he's gonna come,
00:13:51.517 --> 00:13:52.151
He's gonna come, he's gonna stand,

He's gonna stand, he's gonna wave,
00:13:53.419 --> 00:13:54.253
He's gonna wave, it's gonna go,
00:13:54.320 --> 00:13:54.954
It's gonna go, and he's visualizing it
00:13:55.020 --> 00:13:55.654
And he's visualizing it the whole time.
00:13:55.721 --> 00:13:56.222
The whole time. "it's gonna be great, man.
00:13:56.288 --> 00:13:57.289
"it's gonna be great, man. i got the favor of god.
00:13:57.356 --> 00:13:59.091
I got the favor of god. i got the blessing of god.
00:13:59.158 --> 00:14:00.125
I got the blessing of god. i'm naaman, i'm naaman.

You know my name, man?

You know my name, man? i'm naaman."
00:14:03.128 --> 00:14:03.662
I'm naaman." and they tell him
00:14:03.729 --> 00:14:04.430
And they tell him naaman is here.
00:14:04.496 --> 00:14:05.097
Naaman is here. knock, knock, knock.
00:14:05.164 --> 00:14:05.898
Knock, knock, knock. it's naaman.
00:14:05.965 --> 00:14:06.665
It's naaman. you know the one that
00:14:06.732 --> 00:14:07.466
You know the one that that you got the letter
00:14:07.533 --> 00:14:08.467
That you got the letter about from jordan?
00:14:08.534 --> 00:14:09.869
About from jordan? yeah, yeah, him.
00:14:09.935 --> 00:14:10.402
Yeah, yeah, him. i'm naaman.
00:14:10.469 --> 00:14:11.003
I'm naaman. i'm here at the door.
00:14:11.070 --> 00:14:11.704
I'm here at the door. open up.
00:14:11.770 --> 00:14:12.538
Open up. knock, knock, it's naaman.
00:14:12.605 --> 00:14:15.274
Knock, knock, it's naaman. he's gonna come,
00:14:15.341 --> 00:14:17.977
He's gonna come, he's gonna stand,
00:14:18.043 --> 00:14:19.411
He's gonna stand, he's gonna wave,
00:14:19.478 --> 00:14:21.146
He's gonna wave, it's gonna go.
00:14:21.213 --> 00:14:25.818
It's gonna go. and old what's his name answers
00:14:25.885 --> 00:14:27.019
And old what's his name answers the door instead of elisha.
00:14:27.086 --> 00:14:28.687
[laughter]
00:14:28.988 --> 00:14:30.189
You ever asked
00:14:30.522 --> 00:14:30.956
You ever asked for the prophet,
00:14:31.023 --> 00:14:31.490
For the prophet, but you got
00:14:31.557 --> 00:14:31.924
But you got what's his name instead?
00:14:31.991 --> 00:14:36.829
What's his name instead? and naaman said, "who are you?"
00:14:36.896 --> 00:14:39.098
And naaman said, "who are you?" he said, "it's not
00:14:39.164 --> 00:14:40.432
He said, "it's not important who i am.
00:14:40.499 --> 00:14:41.367
Important who i am. it's important what
00:14:41.433 --> 00:14:42.034
The prophet said you need to do.
00:14:42.134 --> 00:14:45.337
The prophet said you need to do. you need to go wash yourself
00:14:45.404 --> 00:14:48.641
You need to go wash yourself seven times in the jordan
00:14:48.707 --> 00:14:51.677
Seven times in the jordan and your flesh will be restored
00:14:51.744 --> 00:14:52.645
And your flesh will be restored and you'll be cleansed."
00:14:52.711 --> 00:14:54.780
And you'll be cleansed." but naaman went angry and said,
00:14:54.847 --> 00:15:00.419
But naaman went angry and said, "i don't wanna wash.
00:15:00.486 --> 00:15:04.823
"i don't wanna wash. when i became a man,
00:15:04.890 --> 00:15:08.227
When i became a man, i put the ways
00:15:08.294 --> 00:15:08.928
I put the ways of childhood behind me."
00:15:08.994 --> 00:15:12.398
Of childhood behind me." naaman is a man,
00:15:12.464 --> 00:15:15.401
He is a great man.
00:15:15.501 --> 00:15:18.203
He is a great man. so, why is a great man thinking
00:15:18.270 --> 00:15:22.141
So, why is a great man thinking like a child talking about,
00:15:22.207 --> 00:15:24.410
Like a child talking about, "i don't wanna wash.
00:15:24.476 --> 00:15:26.979
"i don't wanna wash. i don't wanna take a bath.
00:15:27.046 --> 00:15:29.548
I don't wanna do it like that."
00:15:29.648 --> 00:15:31.550
I don't wanna do it like that." you're supposed to wave.
00:15:31.617 --> 00:15:34.086
You're supposed to wave. and the messenger said,
00:15:34.153 --> 00:15:35.421
And the messenger said, "he ain't gonna wave,
00:15:35.487 --> 00:15:37.423
"he ain't gonna wave, you got to wash."
00:15:37.489 --> 00:15:39.591
You got to wash." i came with a word for
00:15:39.658 --> 00:15:41.093
I came with a word for somebody today who has been
00:15:41.160 --> 00:15:44.029
Somebody today who has been waiting for god to wave
00:15:44.096 --> 00:15:45.864
Waiting for god to wave over your situation.
00:15:45.931 --> 00:15:48.000
Over your situation. and god said, "you can wait
00:15:48.067 --> 00:15:49.134
And god said, "you can wait all day for me to wave.
00:15:49.201 --> 00:15:51.003
All day for me to wave. i already waved
00:15:51.070 --> 00:15:52.204
I already waved all i'm going to wave.
00:15:52.271 --> 00:15:53.539
All i'm going to wave. now you gotta wash."
00:15:53.605 --> 00:15:55.274
Tell your neighbor,
00:15:55.374 --> 00:15:56.208
Tell your neighbor, "you gotta wash."
00:15:56.275 --> 00:15:57.343
"you gotta wash." >> congregation: you gotta wash.
00:15:57.409 --> 00:15:58.344
>> congregation: you gotta wash. >> you gotta wash.
00:15:58.410 --> 00:15:59.611
>> you gotta wash. some things god is not
00:15:59.678 --> 00:16:01.113
Some things god is not going to wave away.
00:16:01.180 --> 00:16:03.615
Going to wave away. some thought patterns,
00:16:03.682 --> 00:16:04.450
Some thought patterns, god is not going to wave away.
00:16:04.516 --> 00:16:07.453
God is not going to wave away. i wish it was so simple.
00:16:07.519 --> 00:16:08.821
I wish it was so simple. i wish we could lean you
00:16:08.887 --> 00:16:10.622
I wish we could lean you back in that chair,
00:16:10.689 --> 00:16:11.724
Back in that chair, yank those braces off
00:16:11.790 --> 00:16:12.825
Yank those braces off your teeth, and put you
00:16:12.891 --> 00:16:14.426
Your teeth, and put you out of here straight.
00:16:14.493 --> 00:16:15.661
Out of here straight. but the fact is,
00:16:15.728 --> 00:16:16.695
But the fact is, sometimes you got to floss
00:16:16.762 --> 00:16:18.130
Sometimes you got to floss between those teeth.
00:16:18.197 --> 00:16:19.365
Between those teeth. sometimes god doesn't wave,
00:16:19.431 --> 00:16:21.533
Sometimes god doesn't wave, sometimes god tells you to wash.
00:16:21.600 --> 00:16:24.336
Sometimes god tells you to wash. and nobody shouts when
00:16:24.403 --> 00:16:25.871
And nobody shouts when i preach like this.
00:16:25.938 --> 00:16:27.339
I preach like this. if i said god's gonna
00:16:27.406 --> 00:16:28.774
If i said god's gonna wave it away,
00:16:28.841 --> 00:16:30.042
Wave it away, i'd have 35 hallelujahs
00:16:30.109 --> 00:16:32.011
I'd have 35 hallelujahs in the back of the room,
00:16:32.077 --> 00:16:33.746
In the back of the room, but i can't even get
00:16:33.812 --> 00:16:34.847
But i can't even get the front row to stand up.
00:16:34.913 --> 00:16:36.548
The front row to stand up. when the word of the lord says,
00:16:36.615 --> 00:16:38.250
When the word of the lord says, "you got to wash.
00:16:38.317 --> 00:16:39.818
"you got to wash. there is a process
00:16:39.885 --> 00:16:41.286
There is a process that i have you in.
00:16:41.353 --> 00:16:42.654
That i have you in. there is a protocol
00:16:42.721 --> 00:16:44.456
There is a protocol that i have you in.
00:16:44.523 --> 00:16:45.624
That i have you in. there is a stage i am
00:16:45.691 --> 00:16:47.359
There is a stage i am bringing you through.
00:16:47.426 --> 00:16:48.727
Bringing you through. there is a process,
00:16:48.794 --> 00:16:50.829
There is a process, there is a stage for this,
00:16:50.896 --> 00:16:53.032
There is a stage for this, there is
00:16:53.098 --> 00:16:53.599
There is a prescription for this,
00:16:53.665 --> 00:16:55.434
A prescription for this, there is a command for this.
00:16:55.501 --> 00:16:57.302
There is a command for this. so, the question becomes,
00:16:57.369 --> 00:16:59.204
So, the question becomes, are you mature enough that
00:16:59.271 --> 00:17:01.473
Are you mature enough that when god doesn't do magic,
00:17:01.540 --> 00:17:03.709
When god doesn't do magic, you will still go through
00:17:03.776 --> 00:17:05.411
You will still go through with the method that will
00:17:05.477 --> 00:17:07.279
With the method that will produce the miracle that you
00:17:07.346 --> 00:17:09.381
Came all this way for anyway?
00:17:09.481 --> 00:17:12.151
Naaman was just about to walk
00:17:12.217 --> 00:17:14.219
Away 'cause i don't wanna.
00:17:14.286 --> 00:17:16.688
I don't care if you don't wanna.
00:17:16.755 --> 00:17:18.424
You can wash even
00:17:18.490 --> 00:17:19.491
If you don't wanna,
00:17:19.558 --> 00:17:20.826
And it will work if you do
00:17:20.893 --> 00:17:22.428
What god told you to do.
00:17:22.494 --> 00:17:23.996
[applause]
00:17:24.363 --> 00:17:27.099
"i don't wanna forgive them.
00:17:28.534 --> 00:17:31.070
"i don't wanna forgive them. i don't wanna wear one
00:17:31.136 --> 00:17:32.037
I don't wanna wear one of those volunteer t-shirts
00:17:32.104 --> 00:17:33.505
Of those volunteer t-shirts and stand out there,
00:17:33.572 --> 00:17:34.339
And stand out there, it's not my color.
00:17:34.406 --> 00:17:35.574
It's not my color. i don't wanna.
00:17:35.641 --> 00:17:38.177
I don't wanna. i don't wanna.
00:17:38.243 --> 00:17:40.345
I don't wanna. so, you don't wanna die,
00:17:40.412 --> 00:17:45.184
So, you don't wanna die, but you don't wanna wash?
00:17:45.250 --> 00:17:48.120
But you don't wanna wash? which one's gonna be stronger?
00:17:48.187 --> 00:17:51.156
Which one's gonna be stronger? 'cause washing
00:17:51.223 --> 00:17:52.558
'cause washing is a passing activity,
00:17:52.624 --> 00:17:55.327
Is a passing activity, healing is permanent.
00:17:55.394 --> 00:17:58.263
Healing is permanent. so, i would rather give up
00:17:58.330 --> 00:18:00.132
So, i would rather give up what is passing, my pride,
00:18:00.199 --> 00:18:03.702
What is passing, my pride, to have what is permanent.
00:18:03.769 --> 00:18:05.938
To have what is permanent. this is a lifesaving word
00:18:06.004 --> 00:18:07.840
This is a lifesaving word for somebody.
00:18:07.906 --> 00:18:08.941
For somebody. god said,
00:18:09.007 --> 00:18:09.775
God said, "you gotta dip in this,
00:18:09.842 --> 00:18:11.910
"you gotta dip in this, you gotta dip in this."
00:18:11.977 --> 00:18:13.879
You gotta dip in this." it is not enough for you
00:18:13.946 --> 00:18:15.347
It is not enough for you to stop at the door
00:18:15.414 --> 00:18:16.515
To stop at the door and wait for god to wave.
00:18:16.582 --> 00:18:18.250
And wait for god to wave. how many times have i waited
00:18:18.317 --> 00:18:19.918
How many times have i waited for god to wave something away
00:18:19.985 --> 00:18:22.254
For god to wave something away that he called me to wash?
00:18:22.321 --> 00:18:29.261
That he called me to wash? i thought he was gonna wave.
00:18:29.328 --> 00:18:32.531
I thought he was gonna wave. i thought they were going
00:18:32.598 --> 00:18:34.032
I thought they were going to appreciate me.
00:18:34.099 --> 00:18:35.968
To appreciate me. i thought i was getting
00:18:36.034 --> 00:18:37.002
I thought i was getting a raise instead, i got fired.
00:18:37.069 --> 00:18:39.171
A raise instead, i got fired. i thought they were
00:18:39.238 --> 00:18:40.205
I thought they were gonna say thank you to me,
00:18:40.272 --> 00:18:41.773
Gonna say thank you to me, but instead they cussed me out.
00:18:41.840 --> 00:18:43.709
But instead they cussed me out. i -- wouldn't it be horrible
00:18:43.775 --> 00:18:45.544
I -- wouldn't it be horrible that god was trying
00:18:45.611 --> 00:18:46.612
To do stuff in your life,
00:18:46.712 --> 00:18:47.813
To do stuff in your life, but you got blocked from it
00:18:47.880 --> 00:18:49.047
But you got blocked from it because of what you thought?
00:18:49.114 --> 00:18:53.752
Because of what you thought? and the worst thing would be
00:18:53.819 --> 00:18:56.355
And the worst thing would be for you to get blocked by
00:18:56.421 --> 00:18:58.757
For you to get blocked by something that's behind you.
00:18:58.824 --> 00:19:05.797
Something that's behind you. watch naaman's reasoning.
00:19:05.864 --> 00:19:07.166
Watch naaman's reasoning. "he sounds like a child."
00:19:07.232 --> 00:19:08.333
"he sounds like a child." he's a champion in war,
00:19:08.400 --> 00:19:11.470
He's a champion in war, but he is a child
00:19:11.537 --> 00:19:14.139
But he is a child in this moment,
00:19:14.206 --> 00:19:15.941
In this moment, and that happens to all of us.
00:19:16.008 --> 00:19:18.644
And that happens to all of us. he said, "i thought he would
00:19:18.710 --> 00:19:19.912
He said, "i thought he would come out here and wave
00:19:19.978 --> 00:19:20.812
Come out here and wave and the spot would go away
00:19:20.879 --> 00:19:23.015
And the spot would go away and cure me of my leprosy."
00:19:23.081 --> 00:19:24.316
And cure me of my leprosy." verse 12, "'are not
00:19:24.383 --> 00:19:26.919
Verse 12, "'are not abana and pharpar,
00:19:26.985 --> 00:19:27.986
Abana and pharpar, the rivers of damascus,
00:19:28.053 --> 00:19:29.021
The rivers of damascus, better than all
00:19:29.087 --> 00:19:29.655
Better than all the waters of israel?
00:19:29.721 --> 00:19:30.455
The waters of israel? couldn't i wash in them
00:19:30.522 --> 00:19:31.857
Couldn't i wash in them and be cleansed?'
00:19:31.924 --> 00:19:33.792
And be cleansed?' so, he turned and went back,"
00:19:33.859 --> 00:19:37.229
So, he turned and went back," headed for damascus.
00:19:37.296 --> 00:19:40.032
When you turn and go back,
00:19:40.132 --> 00:19:43.068
When you turn and go back, you can never get better.
00:19:43.135 --> 00:19:46.438
[applause]
00:19:46.772 --> 00:19:50.509
But that's the hardest part,
00:19:51.176 --> 00:19:52.311
But that's the hardest part, the hardest part is behind you.
00:19:52.377 --> 00:19:57.649
The hardest part is behind you. the hardest part is letting go
00:19:57.716 --> 00:19:59.284
The hardest part is letting go of your expectations because of
00:19:59.351 --> 00:20:00.953
Of your expectations because of the way things have always been.
00:20:01.019 --> 00:20:02.554
The way things have always been. some of you have been eating
00:20:02.621 --> 00:20:03.722
Some of you have been eating manna for so many years,
00:20:03.789 --> 00:20:05.057
Manna for so many years, you're surprised that
00:20:05.123 --> 00:20:06.024
You're surprised that it stopped showing up.
00:20:06.091 --> 00:20:07.025
It stopped showing up. that just means you're on
00:20:07.092 --> 00:20:08.193
That just means you're on the edge of the promised land.
00:20:08.260 --> 00:20:09.161
The edge of the promised land. god wants you
00:20:09.228 --> 00:20:09.695
God wants you to plant and harvest now.
00:20:09.761 --> 00:20:11.663
To plant and harvest now. the hardest part is to let go
00:20:11.730 --> 00:20:15.133
The hardest part is to let go of what's behind you.
00:20:15.200 --> 00:20:18.737
Of what's behind you. "i had better waters than
00:20:18.804 --> 00:20:19.671
That in damascus," he said.
00:20:19.771 --> 00:20:23.408
That in damascus," he said. and i'm so grateful for verse 13
00:20:23.475 --> 00:20:24.910
And i'm so grateful for verse 13 because i feel like we're in
00:20:24.977 --> 00:20:26.011
Because i feel like we're in a moment like this today,
00:20:26.078 --> 00:20:26.845
A moment like this today, you and i,
00:20:26.912 --> 00:20:27.446
You and i, as we talk and listen
00:20:27.512 --> 00:20:28.080
As we talk and listen to me all over the world.
00:20:28.146 --> 00:20:29.748
To me all over the world. some of you are about to go back
00:20:29.815 --> 00:20:31.383
Some of you are about to go back to something that is behind you.
00:20:31.450 --> 00:20:33.452
To something that is behind you. and it is not the challenge
00:20:33.518 --> 00:20:34.886
And it is not the challenge in front of you that
00:20:34.953 --> 00:20:36.588
Is stopping you,
00:20:36.688 --> 00:20:38.790
Is stopping you, it's the template of where
00:20:38.857 --> 00:20:40.192
It's the template of where you've been and the expectation
00:20:40.259 --> 00:20:41.827
You've been and the expectation of where you thought
00:20:41.893 --> 00:20:42.527
Of where you thought you would be.
00:20:42.594 --> 00:20:43.195
You would be. that's what's stopping you.
00:20:43.262 --> 00:20:44.730
That's what's stopping you. that's what's keeping you
00:20:44.796 --> 00:20:46.298
That's what's keeping you from being cured.
00:20:46.365 --> 00:20:47.199
From being cured. that's what's holding you
00:20:47.266 --> 00:20:48.867
That's what's holding you back from the intimacy
00:20:48.934 --> 00:20:50.435
Back from the intimacy and the victory that
00:20:50.502 --> 00:20:51.303
And the victory that you desire in your life.
00:20:51.370 --> 00:20:52.271
You desire in your life. because the bible says
00:20:52.337 --> 00:20:53.205
In verse 13 that,
00:20:53.305 --> 00:20:55.340
In verse 13 that, "naaman's servants went
00:20:55.407 --> 00:20:57.309
"naaman's servants went to him and said, 'my father,
00:20:57.376 --> 00:21:00.679
To him and said, 'my father, if the prophet had told you
00:21:00.746 --> 00:21:01.647
If the prophet had told you to do some great thing,
00:21:01.713 --> 00:21:03.015
To do some great thing, would you not have done it?
00:21:03.081 --> 00:21:03.849
Would you not have done it? how much more than when he tells
00:21:03.915 --> 00:21:05.217
How much more than when he tells you wash and be cleansed?'"
00:21:05.284 --> 00:21:06.985
You wash and be cleansed?'" now, in other words,
00:21:07.052 --> 00:21:08.020
What he's saying,
00:21:08.120 --> 00:21:08.720
What he's saying, and i'm just going
00:21:08.787 --> 00:21:09.621
And i'm just going to elaborate a moment.
00:21:09.688 --> 00:21:11.723
To elaborate a moment. naaman, sir, we've come
00:21:11.790 --> 00:21:15.193
Naaman, sir, we've come all this way.
00:21:15.260 --> 00:21:17.529
All this way. we traveled
00:21:17.596 --> 00:21:18.897
We traveled seven days to get here.
00:21:18.964 --> 00:21:21.033
Seven days to get here. now, think of all the things
00:21:21.099 --> 00:21:22.601
Now, think of all the things that had to happen for you
00:21:22.668 --> 00:21:24.236
That had to happen for you to get to this point.
00:21:24.303 --> 00:21:25.270
To get to this point. the servant girl had to see
00:21:25.337 --> 00:21:26.605
The servant girl had to see the spot at the right time.
00:21:26.672 --> 00:21:28.407
The spot at the right time. the odds were against it,
00:21:28.473 --> 00:21:29.141
The odds were against it, but it happened.
00:21:29.207 --> 00:21:30.242
But it happened. the king had to agree to write
00:21:30.309 --> 00:21:31.476
The king had to agree to write you a letter and risk his
00:21:31.543 --> 00:21:33.011
You a letter and risk his national reputation in order
00:21:33.078 --> 00:21:34.546
National reputation in order to talk to an enemy,
00:21:34.613 --> 00:21:35.947
To talk to an enemy, and he did that for you.
00:21:36.014 --> 00:21:37.215
And he did that for you. we had to make the journey
00:21:37.282 --> 00:21:38.684
We had to make the journey safely to a place
00:21:38.750 --> 00:21:39.951
Safely to a place that we have attacked
00:21:40.018 --> 00:21:41.320
That we have attacked and ransacked several times,
00:21:41.386 --> 00:21:42.888
And ransacked several times, and we made it safely.
00:21:42.954 --> 00:21:44.823
And we made it safely. and we have been going through
00:21:44.890 --> 00:21:45.857
And we have been going through this dry, arid terrain for
00:21:45.924 --> 00:21:48.627
This dry, arid terrain for 200 miles, for seven days,
00:21:48.694 --> 00:21:52.297
200 miles, for seven days, we've been walking
00:21:52.364 --> 00:21:53.198
We've been walking to get to this point
00:21:53.265 --> 00:21:54.266
To get to this point and you want to go back
00:21:54.333 --> 00:21:55.934
And you want to go back to damascus now?
00:21:56.001 --> 00:21:59.104
To damascus now? naaman, just do it.
00:21:59.171 --> 00:22:03.075
Naaman, just do it. just do it.
00:22:03.141 --> 00:22:04.443
Just do it. worst case scenario,
00:22:04.509 --> 00:22:06.011
You get clean.
00:22:06.111 --> 00:22:08.714
You get clean. best case, you get cured.
00:22:08.780 --> 00:22:11.516
Best case, you get cured. but either way,
00:22:11.583 --> 00:22:13.185
But either way, we've come too far, huh?
00:22:13.251 --> 00:22:16.722
We've come too far, huh? we traveled too much, huh?
00:22:16.788 --> 00:22:20.292
We traveled too much, huh? god has arranged too much.
00:22:20.359 --> 00:22:23.762
God has arranged too much. the servant saw the spot,
00:22:23.829 --> 00:22:25.731
The servant saw the spot, the king wrote the letter.
00:22:25.797 --> 00:22:27.099
The king wrote the letter. we made the trip.
00:22:27.165 --> 00:22:28.200
We made the trip. you mean we traveled seven days
00:22:28.266 --> 00:22:30.702
You mean we traveled seven days and you won't take seven dips?
00:22:30.769 --> 00:22:33.405
You better dip, naaman.
00:22:33.505 --> 00:22:35.207
You better dip, naaman. tell your neighbor,
00:22:35.273 --> 00:22:36.174
Tell your neighbor, "you better dip."
00:22:36.241 --> 00:22:37.476
"you better dip." >> congregation: you better dip.
00:22:37.542 --> 00:22:38.210
>> congregation: you better dip. >> all this way you came,
00:22:38.276 --> 00:22:39.277
>> all this way you came, you better dip.
00:22:39.344 --> 00:22:40.645
You better dip. all that god did for you
00:22:40.712 --> 00:22:42.047
All that god did for you to get you here,
00:22:42.114 --> 00:22:42.881
To get you here, you better dip.
00:22:42.948 --> 00:22:44.516
You better dip. out of all the things
00:22:44.583 --> 00:22:45.650
Out of all the things you could be watching online,
00:22:45.717 --> 00:22:47.619
You could be watching online, you're watching a preacher
00:22:47.686 --> 00:22:49.221
You're watching a preacher in a red cropped hoodie
00:22:49.287 --> 00:22:50.756
In a red cropped hoodie talking to you about
00:22:50.822 --> 00:22:51.823
Talking to you about the word of the lord.
00:22:51.890 --> 00:22:53.325
The word of the lord. all the stuff you
00:22:53.392 --> 00:22:54.226
All the stuff you could have clicked on,
00:22:54.292 --> 00:22:55.327
Could have clicked on, god brought you
00:22:55.394 --> 00:22:56.261
God brought you to this point.
00:22:56.328 --> 00:22:57.362
To this point. don't you dare click off.
00:22:57.429 --> 00:22:59.097
Don't you dare click off. you better dip.
00:22:59.164 --> 00:23:00.365
