And so are you in some ways. but the bible says something
00:04:24.717 --> 00:04:25.318
But the bible says something really scary to me.
00:04:25.385 --> 00:04:27.320
Really scary to me. let's look at it,
00:04:27.387 --> 00:04:27.820
Let's look at it, 2 chronicles 26.
00:04:27.887 --> 00:04:30.256
"then all the people
00:04:30.356 --> 00:04:30.923
"then all the people of judah took uzziah,
00:04:30.990 --> 00:04:32.091
Of judah took uzziah, who was 16 years old,
00:04:32.158 --> 00:04:32.859
Who was 16 years old, and made him king in place
00:04:32.925 --> 00:04:33.626
And made him king in place of his father amaziah."
00:04:33.693 --> 00:04:34.327
Of his father amaziah." we already read that.
00:04:34.394 --> 00:04:35.962
We already read that. this is a different
00:04:36.029 --> 00:04:36.596
This is a different account of it.
00:04:36.663 --> 00:04:37.997
Account of it. "he was the one who rebuilt
00:04:38.064 --> 00:04:38.831
"he was the one who rebuilt elath and restored it
00:04:38.898 --> 00:04:39.866
Elath and restored it to judah after amaziah
00:04:39.932 --> 00:04:41.067
To judah after amaziah rested with his ancestors."
00:04:41.134 --> 00:04:41.968
Rested with his ancestors." we already read that,
00:04:42.035 --> 00:04:42.635
We already read that, but this is a different account.
00:04:42.702 --> 00:04:43.469
But this is a different account. now, watch this.
00:04:43.536 --> 00:04:44.837
Now, watch this. "uzziah was sixteen years old
00:04:44.904 --> 00:04:47.307
"uzziah was sixteen years old when he became king,
00:04:47.373 --> 00:04:48.007
When he became king, and he reigned in jerusalem

And he reigned in jerusalem fifty-two years.
00:04:49.042 --> 00:04:49.809
Fifty-two years. his mother's name was jekoliah;
00:04:49.876 --> 00:04:52.745
His mother's name was jekoliah; she was from jerusalem.
00:04:52.812 --> 00:04:53.780
She was from jerusalem. he did what was right
00:04:53.846 --> 00:04:54.414
He did what was right in the eyes of the lord,
00:04:54.480 --> 00:04:55.214
In the eyes of the lord, just as his father
00:04:55.281 --> 00:04:55.915
Just as his father amaziah had done.
00:04:55.982 --> 00:04:56.516
Amaziah had done. he sought god during the days
00:04:56.582 --> 00:04:57.750
He sought god during the days of zechariah,"
00:04:57.817 --> 00:04:58.618
Of zechariah," zechariah was the one
00:04:58.685 --> 00:05:00.086
Zechariah was the one who mentored him.
00:05:00.153 --> 00:05:01.954
Who mentored him. "who instructed him
00:05:02.021 --> 00:05:03.389
"who instructed him in the fear of god."
00:05:03.456 --> 00:05:04.624
In the fear of god." and listen to this verse,

And listen to this verse, it's gonna feel haunting.

It's gonna feel haunting. "as long as he sought
00:05:08.061 --> 00:05:08.628
"as long as he sought the lord,
00:05:08.695 --> 00:05:10.396
The lord, god gave him success."
00:05:10.463 --> 00:05:14.767
God gave him success." the next several verses
00:05:14.834 --> 00:05:16.069
Really break that down,
00:05:16.169 --> 00:05:17.704
Really break that down, all the successes god gave him.
00:05:17.770 --> 00:05:20.440
All the successes god gave him. it says that god
00:05:20.506 --> 00:05:21.607
It says that god strengthened him,
00:05:21.674 --> 00:05:22.308
Strengthened him, god helped him,
00:05:22.375 --> 00:05:24.277
God helped him, god upheld him,
00:05:24.344 --> 00:05:24.911
God upheld him, god resourced him.
00:05:24.977 --> 00:05:27.246
God resourced him. if you go all the way down
00:05:27.313 --> 00:05:29.115
To verse 16 it says,
00:05:29.215 --> 00:05:30.516
To verse 16 it says, "but after uzziah
00:05:30.583 --> 00:05:33.619
"but after uzziah became powerful,
00:05:33.686 --> 00:05:35.421
Became powerful, his pride led to his downfall.
00:05:35.488 --> 00:05:38.858
His pride led to his downfall. he was unfaithful
00:05:38.925 --> 00:05:39.625
He was unfaithful to the lord his god,
00:05:39.692 --> 00:05:40.493
To the lord his god, and entered the temple
00:05:40.560 --> 00:05:41.361
And entered the temple of the lord to burn incense
00:05:41.427 --> 00:05:42.228
Of the lord to burn incense on the altar of incense."
00:05:42.295 --> 00:05:43.529
On the altar of incense." now, listen to this.

"azariah the priest," this is a different azariah.
00:05:47.166 --> 00:05:49.068
As if it wasn't confusing
00:05:49.168 --> 00:05:50.036
Enough already,
00:05:50.103 --> 00:05:50.670
There's gotta be two azariahs
00:05:50.737 --> 00:05:52.305
And one who isn't going
00:05:52.372 --> 00:05:52.939
By the name azariah anymore.
00:05:53.005 --> 00:05:55.908
Thanks a lot chronicle writer.
00:05:55.975 --> 00:05:58.111

00:05:58.177 --> 00:05:59.779
With eighty," --
00:05:59.846 --> 00:06:00.279
Now, listen to this.
00:06:00.380 --> 00:06:01.848
Now, listen to this. back into the scene.
00:06:01.914 --> 00:06:03.249
"azariah the priest with eighty
00:06:03.349 --> 00:06:04.217
Other courageous priests
00:06:04.283 --> 00:06:05.151
Of the lord followed him in.
00:06:05.218 --> 00:06:05.885
They confronted king uzziah
00:06:05.985 --> 00:06:06.786
They confronted king uzziah and said,
00:06:06.853 --> 00:06:07.253
'it is not right for you,
00:06:07.353 --> 00:06:08.354
Uzziah, to burn incense
00:06:08.421 --> 00:06:09.122
To the lord.
00:06:09.188 --> 00:06:09.689
That's for the priests,
00:06:09.756 --> 00:06:12.258
The descendants of aaron,
00:06:12.325 --> 00:06:13.693
Who have been consecrated
00:06:13.760 --> 00:06:14.594
To burn incense.
00:06:14.660 --> 00:06:16.829
Leave the sanctuary,
00:06:16.896 --> 00:06:17.563
You've been unfaithful;
00:06:17.630 --> 00:06:18.398
You will not be honored
00:06:18.464 --> 00:06:18.998
By the lord god.'"
00:06:19.065 --> 00:06:20.099
The kings weren't allowed
00:06:20.199 --> 00:06:21.234
To burn this incense,
00:06:21.334 --> 00:06:22.034
To burn this incense, it was for the priest to do.
00:06:22.101 --> 00:06:24.704
It was for the priest to do. you know, you always get in
00:06:24.771 --> 00:06:26.205
You know, you always get in trouble when you try to do what
00:06:26.272 --> 00:06:28.975
Trouble when you try to do what god called somebody else to do.
00:06:29.041 --> 00:06:33.646
When you start wishing
00:06:33.746 --> 00:06:34.514
When you start wishing you could be this one
00:06:34.580 --> 00:06:35.515
You could be this one or that one.
00:06:35.581 --> 00:06:37.984
Or that one. and see, uzziah was powerful,
00:06:38.050 --> 00:06:39.819
And see, uzziah was powerful, god called him.
00:06:39.886 --> 00:06:40.586
God called him. don't get it twisted.
00:06:40.653 --> 00:06:42.121
Don't get it twisted. god anointed him,
00:06:42.188 --> 00:06:42.789
God anointed him, god put the crown on his head
00:06:42.855 --> 00:06:44.123
God put the crown on his head no matter whose hands
00:06:44.190 --> 00:06:45.091
He used to position it there,
00:06:45.191 --> 00:06:46.692
He used to position it there, it was god that did it,
00:06:46.759 --> 00:06:48.761
It was god that did it, but then he got out
00:06:48.828 --> 00:06:50.062
But then he got out of his place,
00:06:50.129 --> 00:06:51.030
Of his place, and even when he was corrected,
00:06:51.097 --> 00:06:52.698
And even when he was corrected, he wouldn't listen.
00:06:52.765 --> 00:06:53.733
He wouldn't listen. now, listen to this, verse 19,
00:06:53.800 --> 00:06:55.435
Now, listen to this, verse 19, because god is bringing you
00:06:55.501 --> 00:06:56.569
Because god is bringing you to this point today
00:06:56.636 --> 00:06:58.171

"uzziah, who had a censer in his hand

In his hand ready to burn incense,
00:07:05.511 --> 00:07:07.113
Ready to burn incense, became angry.
00:07:07.180 --> 00:07:08.648
Became angry. and while he was raging
00:07:08.714 --> 00:07:10.383
And while he was raging at the priests in their presence
00:07:10.450 --> 00:07:12.218
At the priests in their presence before the incense altar
00:07:12.285 --> 00:07:13.653
Before the incense altar in the lord's temple,
00:07:13.719 --> 00:07:14.754
In the lord's temple, leprosy broke out
00:07:14.821 --> 00:07:16.189
Leprosy broke out on his forehead.
00:07:16.255 --> 00:07:18.658
On his forehead. when azariah the chief priest
00:07:18.724 --> 00:07:19.826
When azariah the chief priest and all the other priests
00:07:19.892 --> 00:07:20.526
And all the other priests looked at him,
00:07:20.593 --> 00:07:21.594
Looked at him, they saw he had leprosy
00:07:21.661 --> 00:07:24.030
They saw he had leprosy on his forehead,
00:07:24.096 --> 00:07:24.831
On his forehead, so they hurried him out.
00:07:24.897 --> 00:07:26.799
So they hurried him out. indeed, he himself
00:07:26.866 --> 00:07:28.100
Indeed, he himself was eager to leave,
00:07:28.167 --> 00:07:29.735
Was eager to leave, because the lord
00:07:29.802 --> 00:07:30.336
Because the lord had afflicted him."
00:07:30.403 --> 00:07:31.771
Had afflicted him." now, listen to this,
00:07:31.838 --> 00:07:32.438
Now, listen to this, i wish the story
00:07:32.505 --> 00:07:33.005
I wish the story ended different,
00:07:33.072 --> 00:07:33.739

A separate house—leprous,
00:07:46.586 --> 00:07:49.555
And banned from the temple

From beginning to end,

Isaiah son of amoz.
00:08:05.137 --> 00:08:08.441
Uzziah rested with his ancestors
00:08:08.508 --> 00:08:10.977
And was buried near them
00:08:11.043 --> 00:08:13.513
In a cemetery
00:08:13.579 --> 00:08:14.914
That belonged to the kings,
00:08:14.981 --> 00:08:16.015
For the people said,
00:08:16.082 --> 00:08:18.117

"he had leprosy."
00:08:41.173 --> 00:08:44.777
And he died like that,
00:08:44.844 --> 00:08:47.747
And he died like that
00:08:47.813 --> 00:08:50.383
'cause he forgot
00:08:50.483 --> 00:08:50.950
'cause he forgot that god was the one.

When you forget that god is the one,

That god is the one, and you start running
00:09:08.701 --> 00:09:09.635
And you start running from what god has called you to
00:09:09.702 --> 00:09:10.770
From what god has called you to when you forget that god

That god is the one. how many are grateful
00:09:20.146 --> 00:09:22.848

None of those kings are the one that we came

Are the one that we came to worship today?
00:09:35.328 --> 00:09:37.396

'cause people will disappoint you,

Disappoint you, but god will carry you.
00:09:49.408 --> 00:09:52.712
But god will carry you. people will leave you,

People will leave you, god never will.
00:09:54.947 --> 00:09:57.350
God never will. and the bible says that king
00:09:57.416 --> 00:09:59.852
And the bible says that king uzziah died with leprosy,
00:09:59.919 --> 00:10:01.354
Uzziah died with leprosy, a skin condition
00:10:01.420 --> 00:10:03.055
A skin condition that isolated him,
00:10:03.122 --> 00:10:05.725
That isolated him, but you don't have to.
00:10:05.791 --> 00:10:08.127
But you don't have to. you don't have to stay away.
00:10:08.194 --> 00:10:10.463
You don't have to stay away. you know why?
00:10:10.529 --> 00:10:12.431
You know why? because isaiah prophesied
00:10:12.498 --> 00:10:15.901
Because isaiah prophesied to uzziah,
00:10:15.968 --> 00:10:18.104
To uzziah, but he did not prophesy
00:10:18.170 --> 00:10:20.106
But he did not prophesy about uzziah.
00:10:20.172 --> 00:10:23.009
About uzziah. isaiah prophesied about
00:10:23.075 --> 00:10:25.511
Isaiah prophesied about another king,
00:10:25.578 --> 00:10:27.813
A king that would come
00:10:27.913 --> 00:10:29.715
A king that would come at a later date.
00:10:29.782 --> 00:10:32.718
At a later date. a king that would not come
00:10:32.785 --> 00:10:35.187
A king that would not come through any human father,
00:10:35.254 --> 00:10:38.290
Through any human father, but a king that would come
00:10:38.357 --> 00:10:39.225
But a king that would come not in a palace.
00:10:39.291 --> 00:10:41.694
A king that would come
00:10:41.794 --> 00:10:43.796
A king that would come in a palestinian environment
00:10:43.863 --> 00:10:45.564
In a palestinian environment that would've been
00:10:45.631 --> 00:10:46.565
That would've been unfit for many animals.
00:10:46.632 --> 00:10:48.768
Unfit for many animals. see, the thing that i want you

Now, you're gonna be the one. she was the one who went
00:17:21.126 --> 00:17:21.894
She was the one who went to counseling
00:17:21.960 --> 00:17:24.363
To counseling and worked through her past
00:17:24.430 --> 00:17:25.531
And worked through her past so that it did not become
00:17:25.597 --> 00:17:26.598
So that it did not become the lid of her future.
00:17:26.665 --> 00:17:28.000
The lid of her future. she was the one.
00:17:28.067 --> 00:17:32.071
She was the one. he was the one who decided
00:17:32.137 --> 00:17:33.338
He was the one who decided to give his gifts to god
00:17:33.405 --> 00:17:34.506
To give his gifts to god rather than using them
00:17:34.573 --> 00:17:35.407
Rather than using them to serve the world,
00:17:35.474 --> 00:17:36.608
To serve the world, he was the one.
00:17:36.675 --> 00:17:39.044
He was the one. he was the one who decided
00:17:39.111 --> 00:17:40.345
He was the one who decided to open a door for others
00:17:40.412 --> 00:17:41.180
Rather than always
00:17:41.280 --> 00:17:41.980
Rather than always trying to make
00:17:42.047 --> 00:17:42.514
Trying to make it about himself.
00:17:42.581 --> 00:17:43.582
It about himself. he was the one.
00:17:43.649 --> 00:17:44.950
He was the one. what one will you be?
00:17:45.017 --> 00:17:50.989
What one will you be? i love that story in the bible
00:17:51.056 --> 00:17:53.459
I love that story in the bible where ten lepers
00:17:53.525 --> 00:17:54.326
Came up to jesus.
00:17:54.426 --> 00:17:56.595
Came up to jesus. they knew that he was
00:17:56.662 --> 00:17:58.297
They knew that he was the one who could heal them.
00:17:58.363 --> 00:18:01.767
The one who could heal them. i don't know if you get
00:18:01.834 --> 00:18:02.534
I don't know if you get the richness of this.
00:18:02.601 --> 00:18:04.369
The richness of this. he was the prophet,
00:18:04.436 --> 00:18:06.038
He was the prophet, the priest,
00:18:06.105 --> 00:18:07.206
The priest, and the king.
00:18:07.272 --> 00:18:08.874
And the king. all of those things in one.
00:18:08.941 --> 00:18:11.076
All of those things in one. they had been to their priest,
00:18:11.143 --> 00:18:12.911
They had been to their priest, their priest couldn't do it.
00:18:12.978 --> 00:18:14.613
Their priest couldn't do it. they came to jesus
00:18:14.680 --> 00:18:16.215
They came to jesus and he told them,
00:18:16.281 --> 00:18:16.782
And he told them, "go to the priest
00:18:16.849 --> 00:18:18.250
"go to the priest and you will be
00:18:18.317 --> 00:18:19.118
And you will be healed as you go."
00:18:19.184 --> 00:18:20.786
Healed as you go." and in luke 17:15,
00:18:20.853 --> 00:18:23.322
And in luke 17:15, the bible says that,
00:18:23.388 --> 00:18:25.057
"one of them,"
00:18:25.157 --> 00:18:26.959
"one of them," one of the ten,
00:18:27.025 --> 00:18:29.094
One of the ten, "when he saw that he was healed,
00:18:29.161 --> 00:18:31.964
"when he saw that he was healed, came back praising god,"
00:18:32.030 --> 00:18:36.268
Came back praising god," didn't whisper,
00:18:36.335 --> 00:18:38.003
Didn't whisper, "thank you lord.
00:18:38.070 --> 00:18:39.471
"thank you lord. thank you so much.
00:18:39.538 --> 00:18:41.173
Thank you so much. thank you so much."
00:18:41.240 --> 00:18:42.441
Thank you so much." what does the bible say?
00:18:42.508 --> 00:18:45.911
"in a loud voice."
00:18:46.011 --> 00:18:48.747
Because he realized this
00:18:48.847 --> 00:18:50.916
Because he realized this leprosy is not my legacy.
00:18:50.983 --> 00:18:55.754
Leprosy is not my legacy. you don't have
00:18:55.821 --> 00:18:56.588
You don't have to stay outside anymore.
00:18:56.655 --> 00:18:59.324
To stay outside anymore. he's emmanuel, god with us.
00:18:59.391 --> 00:19:02.728
He's emmanuel, god with us. one of them came back.
00:19:02.794 --> 00:19:06.331
One of them came back. if i preach this sermon,
00:19:06.398 --> 00:19:09.001
If i preach this sermon, everything i've said today,
00:19:09.067 --> 00:19:11.136
Everything i've said today, for one person to come back,
00:19:11.203 --> 00:19:14.473
For one person to come back, it will be worth it,
00:19:14.540 --> 00:19:15.707
It will be worth it, because i believe
00:19:15.774 --> 00:19:17.409
Because i believe you are a port city.
00:19:17.476 --> 00:19:20.345
You are a port city. i believe things are gonna
00:19:20.412 --> 00:19:20.979
I believe things are gonna flow through you
00:19:21.046 --> 00:19:22.514
Flow through you that are going to change lives
00:19:22.581 --> 00:19:23.549
That are going to change lives you will never meet.
00:19:23.615 --> 00:19:24.516
You will never meet. who receives it?

He was the one. jesus was the one with healing,
00:19:38.630 --> 00:19:42.067
Jesus was the one with healing, and it is at his feet
00:19:42.134 --> 00:19:43.502
And it is at his feet that we fall today.
00:19:43.569 --> 00:19:45.237
That we fall today. lord god,
00:19:45.304 --> 00:19:46.939
Lord god, this is the part of the sermon

This is the part of the sermon where i stop speaking
00:19:49.608 --> 00:19:50.642
Where i stop speaking but you don't.
00:19:50.709 --> 00:19:53.645
But you don't. because there are things that
00:19:53.712 --> 00:19:54.646
Because there are things that you wanna open up for the people
00:19:54.713 --> 00:19:57.449
You wanna open up for the people that you brought
00:19:57.516 --> 00:19:57.983
That you brought to hear this word today.
00:19:58.050 --> 00:20:00.285
To hear this word today. they have been labeled by life,
00:20:00.352 --> 00:20:02.487
They have been labeled by life, labeled by lies.
00:20:02.554 --> 00:20:05.557
Labeled by lies. but i declare that label will
00:20:05.624 --> 00:20:06.792
But i declare that label will not be their legacy.

Not be their legacy. alcoholic will not be
00:20:09.528 --> 00:20:10.429

Their legacy, addict will not be their legacy,
00:20:12.097 --> 00:20:14.333
Addict will not be their legacy, bitter will not be their legacy,
00:20:14.399 --> 00:20:16.768
Bitter will not be their legacy, failure will not
00:20:16.835 --> 00:20:17.903
Failure will not be their legacy,
00:20:17.970 --> 00:20:19.504
Be their legacy, defeat will not
00:20:19.571 --> 00:20:20.439
Defeat will not be their legacy.
00:20:20.505 --> 00:20:23.108
Be their legacy. the heritage of the servants
00:20:23.175 --> 00:20:24.443
The heritage of the servants of god is the righteousness
00:20:24.509 --> 00:20:25.811
Of god is the righteousness of the lord, jesus christ,
00:20:25.877 --> 00:20:27.512
Of the lord, jesus christ, and our righteousness
00:20:27.579 --> 00:20:29.314
And our righteousness comes from you.
00:20:29.381 --> 00:20:31.350

>> and so, father, i stretch my hands to you today

Hands to you today for every time
00:20:41.159 --> 00:20:41.893
For every time that the devil has tried
00:20:41.960 --> 00:20:42.628
That the devil has tried to tell me i am no one
00:20:42.694 --> 00:20:43.862
To tell me i am no one and i have no one.
00:20:43.929 --> 00:20:47.232
And i have no one. i have someone.
00:20:47.299 --> 00:20:50.769
I have someone. his name is jesus,
00:20:50.836 --> 00:20:53.205
His name is jesus, and he is the one
00:20:53.272 --> 00:20:55.207
And he is the one who opens blind eyes.
00:20:55.274 --> 00:20:57.542
He is the one who causes
00:20:57.643 --> 00:20:59.845
He is the one who causes the lame to walk.
00:20:59.911 --> 00:21:01.546
The lame to walk. he is the one who forgives
00:21:01.613 --> 00:21:04.149
He is the one who forgives the sinner.
00:21:04.216 --> 00:21:05.017
The sinner. he is the one who
00:21:05.083 --> 00:21:06.818
He is the one who raises the dead.
00:21:06.885 --> 00:21:08.287
Raises the dead. he is the one who speaks
00:21:08.353 --> 00:21:10.355
He is the one who speaks but a word and we are healed.
00:21:10.422 --> 00:21:15.093
I wonder who is that one today
00:21:15.193 --> 00:21:16.395
I wonder who is that one today that god gave me
00:21:16.461 --> 00:21:17.062

And your eyes closed, there's someone in here
00:21:22.100 --> 00:21:22.934
There's someone in here and you need to throw yourself
00:21:23.001 --> 00:21:24.002
And you need to throw yourself at the feet of jesus today.
00:21:24.069 --> 00:21:28.073
At the feet of jesus today. we're gonna pray

Narrative in my life, that, you know,

That, you know, i'm really no one special,
00:23:30.929 --> 00:23:33.098
I'm really no one special, i'm really no one,
00:23:33.165 --> 00:23:34.266
I'm really no one, and i have no one,
00:23:34.332 --> 00:23:35.934
And i have no one, it's a lie.
00:23:36.001 --> 00:23:37.135
It's a lie. if i believe that,
00:23:37.202 --> 00:23:38.403
If i believe that, that i am no one
00:23:38.470 --> 00:23:39.971
That i am no one and that i have no one,

And that i have no one, as so many of us do,
00:23:41.306 --> 00:23:42.374
As so many of us do, i think that's the thing
00:23:42.441 --> 00:23:43.341
I think that's the thing the devil just tries to get you
00:23:43.408 --> 00:23:44.910
The devil just tries to get you to believe over and over again
00:23:44.976 --> 00:23:46.278
To believe over and over again in different ways.
00:23:46.344 --> 00:23:46.845
>> have you found yourself
00:23:47.512 --> 00:23:48.113

00:23:48.213 --> 00:23:50.048
That's how loneliness
00:23:50.148 --> 00:23:51.149
Begins to creep in.

>> i think it's the loneliest
00:23:52.384 --> 00:23:53.418
>> i think it's the loneliest thing in the world to have
00:23:53.485 --> 00:23:54.186
Thing in the world to have people around you,
00:23:54.252 --> 00:23:55.086
People around you, but you can't really touch them
00:23:55.153 --> 00:23:56.388
But you can't really touch them and connect with them
00:23:56.455 --> 00:23:57.389
And connect with them for who you really are.
00:23:57.456 --> 00:23:59.157
For who you really are. because you just keep trying
00:23:59.224 --> 00:24:00.058
Because you just keep trying to give 'em who you think
00:24:00.125 --> 00:24:00.826
To give 'em who you think you're supposed to be.
00:24:00.892 --> 00:24:01.827

That was not chosen in this season of your life.

In this season of your life. before god can get you out,
