IN INDIA, MARY VISITED A
00:00:15.10\00:00:19.20
LEPER COLONY AND
WAS DEEPLY MOVED BY THE
00:00:19.20\00:00:20.10

MARY CONTRACTED LEPROSY
00:00:20.10\00:00:25.16
HERSELF AND WENT TO WORK
WITH THE LEPERS, EAGER TO
00:00:25.16\00:00:29.66
TELL THEM THAT SHE KNEW
FIRSTHAND THEIR PAIN AND
00:00:29.66\00:00:30.66
TRAUMA. SHE BECAME HEAD
OF THE LEPER COLONY AND IN
00:00:30.66\00:00:35.16
THE YEARS FOLLOWING
MANY WERE SAVED AND A CHURCH
00:00:35.16\00:00:40.00

GOD'S BOOK, THE BIBLE.
00:00:56.43\00:00:58.96
STILL RELEVANT IN
TODAY'S COMPLEX WORLD.
00:00:59.23\00:01:03.66
IT IS WRITTEN.
00:01:03.96\00:01:06.33
SPREADING MESSAGES OF
HOPE AROUND THE WORLD.
00:01:06.70\00:01:10.93
WHILE IN THE MIDST
OF A TIRING AND TRYING
00:01:30.23\00:01:31.13
PREACHING CAMPAIGN,
JESUS IS INTERRUPTED BY A
00:01:31.13\00:01:34.46
SINGLE MAN, A LEPER.
THE ENCOUNTER IS RECORDED IN
00:01:34.46\00:01:40.46
MARK 1:40 - 45
00:01:40.46\00:01:46.90
OF ALL THE DISEASES
AND AFFLICTIONS THAT
00:02:48.13\00:02:49.13
DEVASTATED THE
ANCIENT WORLD, NONE WAS MORE
00:02:49.13\00:02:52.03
FEARED THAN LEPROSY.
THE DISEASE USUALLY STARTED
00:02:52.03\00:02:55.90
WITH PERSON BEGINNING
TO FEEL A LITTLE TIRED AND
00:02:55.90\00:02:56.90
THEN THE JOINTS WOULD
BEGIN TO GET SORE. AND
00:02:56.90\00:03:01.20
THEN ONE DAY LITTLE
WHITE SPOTS WOULD APPEAR ALL
00:03:01.20\00:03:05.16
OVER THE SKIN. THOSE
WHITE SPOTS WOULD BEGIN
00:03:05.16\00:03:06.13
TO HARDEN INTO NODULES
AND THEN TURN FROM WHITE TO
00:03:06.13\00:03:11.60
PINK TO BROWN AND WOULD
BECOME VERY SCALY. THOSE
00:03:11.60\00:03:18.86
NODULES WOULD SPREAD ALL
OVER THE BODY; THEY WOULD
00:03:18.86\00:03:19.86
AFFLICT THE FACE FIRST
AND THE APPEARANCE OF THE FACE
00:03:19.86\00:03:24.70
WOULD CHANGE, AND
THERE WOULD BE WRINKLES AND
00:03:24.70\00:03:28.13
NODULES COVERING THE FACE.
00:03:28.13\00:03:28.80
THOSE NODULES WOULD BEGIN
TO ULCERATE AND THEY WOULD
00:03:28.80\00:03:33.43
FILL WITH PUSS AND
THEY WOULD BEGIN TO RUN ALL
00:03:33.43\00:03:34.56
OVER THE BODY AND THERE
WAS A FOUL ODOR THAT WOULD
00:03:34.56\00:03:38.50
BE DISCHARGED, IT WAS A
TERRIBLE STENCH. THERE WAS
00:03:38.50\00:03:43.26
A TASTE IN THE MOUTH
OF THE LEPER. THE NODULES
00:03:43.26\00:03:44.26
WOULD COVER THE VOCAL
CHORDS SO THAT WHEN THEY
00:03:44.26\00:03:48.66
BREATHED THERE WOULD BE
A WHEEZING SOUND, AND WHEN
00:03:48.66\00:03:54.73
THEY TALKED THERE WOULD
BE A RASPINESS IN THE VOICE.
00:03:54.73\00:03:55.80
THE LEPROSY WOULD TOTALLY
CONSUME A PERSON UNTIL THE
00:03:55.80\00:04:00.90
BODY BECAME LITTLE MORE
THAN A POOL OF SLIME. THE
00:04:00.90\00:04:07.76
EYEBROWS WOULD BEGIN TO
FALL OUT, THE HAIR WOULD
00:04:07.76\00:04:08.76
TURN WHITE. AS THEY WALKED
THEY WOULD LEAVE WET SPOTS
00:04:08.76\00:04:13.10
WHERE THE PUSS WOULD
POUR OUT OF THE FEET. FINGERS
00:04:13.10\00:04:17.93
WOULD FALL OFF AND THE
TOES WOULD BEGIN TO FALL
00:04:17.93\00:04:18.90
OFF. LEPROSY LASTED
AN AVERAGE OF 9 YEARS. IT
00:04:18.90\00:04:22.90
WAS A TERRIBLE
PHYSICALLY DEBILITATING DISEASE.
00:04:22.90\00:04:30.36
AS IF THIS WEREN'T
ENOUGH, THERE WAS A TERRIBLE
00:04:32.13\00:04:33.13
SOCIAL ISOLATION THAT
WENT HAND IN HAND WITH
00:04:33.13\00:04:37.86
THIS DISEASE. WHEN IT
WAS DETERMINED THAT A MAN HAD
00:04:37.86\00:04:41.16
LEPROSY THEY WOULD
BANISH HIM FROM THE VILLAGE, HE
00:04:41.16\00:04:42.16
WAS NO LONGER ALLOWED TO
HAVE COMMUNION WITH OTHER
00:04:42.16\00:04:46.16
PEOPLE. HE HAD TO
LEAVE HIS FAMILY, HE HAD TO
00:04:46.16\00:04:50.20
LEAVE HIS FRIENDS. IT
WAS UNLAWFUL FOR A LEPER TO
00:04:50.20\00:04:51.23
APPROACH WITHIN 15 M
OF A CLEAN PERSON. IF IT
00:04:51.23\00:04:57.26
WAS A WINDY DAY, THE
RULE CHANGED TO 60 M. HE COULD
00:04:57.26\00:05:02.26
NOT TOUCH HIS FAMILY,
HE COULD ONLY SEE THEM FROM
00:05:02.26\00:05:03.23
A DISTANCE. MANY FAMILIES
BROUGHT FOOD AND CLOTHING
00:05:03.23\00:05:08.63
FOR A WHILE, BUT AFTER A
TIME, MOST FAMILIES HAD A
00:05:08.63\00:05:13.00
FUNERAL SERVICE AND
REGARDED THE AFFLICTED
00:05:13.00\00:05:14.10
PERSON AS A DEAD MAN.
HE HAD TO TEAR HIS GARMENTS
00:05:14.10\00:05:21.00
SO PEOPLE WOULD RECOGNIZE
THAT HE WAS A LEPER. HE
00:05:21.00\00:05:23.86
WAS TO DRESS AS A
MOURNER GOING TO A FUNERAL
00:05:23.86\00:05:24.80
SERVICE: HIS OWN
FUNERAL SERVICE! OVER HIS UPPER
00:05:24.80\00:05:29.06
LIP HE HAD TO WEAR A
CLOTH SO HE WOULDN'T SPREAD THE
00:05:29.06\00:05:35.60
CONTAMINATION AND EVERY
TIME HE SAW PEOPLE COMING
00:05:35.60\00:05:36.63
THE LEPER WAS
REQUIRED, FROM A DISTANCE, TO
00:05:36.63\00:05:41.60
CRY, "UNCLEAN! UNCLEAN!
00:05:41.60\00:05:42.10
UNCLEAN!" AND IT
WOULD WARN THE PEOPLE THAT A
00:05:42.10\00:05:46.93
LEPER WAS ON THE
PREMISES AND THEY WOULD PICK UP
00:05:46.93\00:05:51.53
STONES AND THEY WOULD
BEGIN TO THROW THE ROCKS
00:05:51.53\00:05:52.50
AT HIM SO HE WOULD
GET NOWHERE AROUND HIM.
00:05:52.50\00:05:55.93
SO HERE IS THE CONDITION
OF THIS MAN, HERE IS THE
00:05:55.93\00:06:01.80
PICTURE OF THIS
MAN THE BIBLE SAYS WAS
00:06:01.80\00:06:02.66
FILLED WITH LEPROSY.
00:06:02.66\00:06:11.00
SO, HERE IS THIS MAN.
HIS LIFE HAS BEEN DEVASTATED
00:06:12.43\00:06:13.43
BY THE SCOURGE OF LEPROSY.
00:06:13.43\00:06:17.53
PERHAPS HE AWOKE
THAT MORNING IN THE LEPER
00:06:17.53\00:06:18.46
COLONY AND HEARD THAT
A MAN NAMED JESUS WAS IN
00:06:18.46\00:06:22.16
TOWN. MAYBE HE HEARD HOW
THIS JESUS HAD HEALED ALL
00:06:22.16\00:06:27.50
SORTS OF DISEASES AND
HAD EVEN CAST OUT DEMONS.
00:06:27.50\00:06:28.50
MAYBE, FOR THE
FIRST TIME IN A LONG TIME,
00:06:28.50\00:06:34.86
HOPE AWAKENED IN A
HEART CONDITIONED TO FEEL ONLY
00:06:34.86\00:06:40.70
HOPELESSNESS. YOU SEE,
MOST PEOPLE BELIEVED THAT
00:06:40.70\00:06:41.70
LEPROSY WAS THE "STROKE
OF GOD". THAT IT WAS THE
00:06:41.70\00:06:49.16
DIRECT JUDGMENT OF GOD
FOR SIN IN THE LEPERS LIFE.
00:06:49.16\00:06:56.56
LEPROSY WAS A CRUEL BLOW
TO A PERSON'S SELF-ESTEEM.
00:06:56.56\00:06:57.60
IT MADE THEM FEEL UNLOVED,
UNWANTED AND UNCARED FOR.
00:06:57.60\00:07:02.00
BUT, THAT MORNING,
FAITH AWAKENED IN THE HEART OF
00:07:02.00\00:07:09.90
THIS LEPER AND KNEW HE
HAD TO GET TO JESUS. WHATEVER
00:07:09.90\00:07:10.96
MOTIVATED HIM, THIS
POOR, WRETCHED MAN BEGAN TO
00:07:10.96\00:07:19.16
HOBBLE HIS WAY TO JESUS.
00:07:19.16\00:07:19.63
CAN YOU SEE THE MULTITUDES
AS THEY CROWD AROUND THE
00:07:19.63\00:07:28.43
SAVIOR? CAN YOU HEAR
THE COMMOTION AT THE BACK OF
00:07:28.43\00:07:33.56
THE CROWD AS THE
PEOPLE REALIZE THAT THERE IS A
00:07:33.56\00:07:34.60
LEPER IN THE MIDST?
CAN YOU SEE THE CROWD BEGIN
00:07:34.60\00:07:40.53
TO PART WITH CRIES OF
FEAR AND DISGUST AS THIS MAN
00:07:40.53\00:07:46.10
PASSES THROUGH THEIR
MIDST? HE MAKES HIS WAY
00:07:46.10\00:07:47.06
THROUGH THE FRIGHTENED
CROWD AND STOPS WITHIN
00:07:47.06\00:07:52.63
ARM'S LENGTH OF JESUS. HE
KNEELS BEFORE THE LORD AND
00:07:52.63\00:07:59.40
DECLARED TO THE LORD
HIS DESIRE. WHAT HE SAID TO
00:07:59.40\00:08:00.46
JESUS IS VERY TELLING
OF HIS CONDITION. 1. HIS
00:08:00.46\00:08:08.70
WORDS INDICATE A DESIRE
TO BE FREE FROM HIS DISEASE.
00:08:08.70\00:08:16.16
2. HIS WORDS DECLARE HIS
FAITH IN CHRIST'S ABILITY.
00:08:16.63\00:08:22.06
3. HIS WORDS REVEAL HIS
OWN SENSE OF UNWORTHINESS
00:08:22.46\00:08:23.50
BEFORE THE LORD.
00:08:23.50\00:08:29.93
THESE THREE THINGS ARE A
PICTURE OF WHAT SHOULD BE
00:08:41.06\00:08:42.16
IN THE HEART OF A SINNER
WHO WANTS TO COME TO JESUS
00:08:42.16\00:08:43.70
TO BE SAVED FROM
THEIR SINS. THERE MUST BE A
00:08:43.70\00:08:45.26
DESIRE TO BE FREE
FROM THE SIN THAT BINDS US.
00:08:45.26\00:08:46.23
CONVICTION PRODUCES
THIS DESIRE IN THE HEART OF
00:08:46.23\00:08:48.36
THE SINNER. THERE MUST
BE FAITH IN THE ABILITY OF
00:08:48.36\00:08:51.03
JESUS TO SAVE THE SOUL.
00:08:51.03\00:08:51.56
THIS FAITH IS GOD'S GIFT
AND IT IS PRODUCED IN THE
00:08:51.56\00:08:59.53
HEART OF THE SINNER BY
THE HOLY SPIRIT. THEN, THERE
00:08:59.53\00:09:00.63
WILL ALWAYS BE A SENSE
OF UNWORTHINESS TO COME
00:09:00.63\00:09:06.33
BEFORE THE LORD. THIS
IS TRUE, BECAUSE NONE OF US
00:09:06.33\00:09:12.16
DESERVE TO BE SAVED.
WHEN WE COME, THE DEVIL WILL
00:09:12.16\00:09:13.20
TELL US "YOU'RE NOT
WORTHY TO COME TO JESUS!" HE
00:09:13.20\00:09:19.53
IS RIGHT! YOUR OWN HEART
MAY TELL YOU, "YOU'RE NOT
00:09:19.53\00:09:25.00
WORTHY TO COME TO JESUS!"
00:09:25.00\00:09:25.63
YOUR HEART IS RIGHT!
BUT, DON'T LET THAT STOP YOU
00:09:25.63\00:09:32.40
FROM COMING! YOU MIGHT
NOT BE WORTHY TO COME, BUT HE
00:09:32.40\00:09:33.60
WILL NEVER TURN YOU
AWAY WHEN YOU DO, JOHN 6:37:
00:09:33.60\00:09:44.73
THIS OLD LEPER HAS
REACHED THE PLACE WHERE HE KNOWS
00:09:55.60\00:09:56.63
HE NEEDS A MIRACLE OF
GOD TO DELIVER HIM FROM HIS
00:09:56.63\00:10:01.73
DISEASE. APPARENTLY, HE
IS IN THE LAST STAGES, FOR
00:10:01.73\00:10:06.13
LUKE TELLS US HE WAS
"FULL OF LEPROSY", (LUKE 5:12).
00:10:06.13\00:10:07.20
HE WAS NEARLY GONE
AND HE NEEDED DIVINE
00:10:07.20\00:10:10.66
INTERVENTION.
SO, HE CAME TO JESUS.
00:10:10.66\00:10:16.76
IF YOUR LIFE HAS BEEN
WRECKED AND RUINED BY SIN,
00:10:20.10\00:10:21.13
LET ME TELL YOU
THAT YOU TOO NEED DIVINE
00:10:21.13\00:10:25.86
INTERVENTION. YOU NEED
WHAT ONLY JESUS CAN GIVE
00:10:25.86\00:10:31.30
YOU. YOU NEED A MIRACLE!
00:10:31.30\00:10:31.80
YOU NEED TO DO LIKE THIS
LEPER AND GET TO THE FEET
00:10:31.80\00:10:37.26
OF JESUS!
00:10:37.26\00:10:39.46
AS THE CROWD WATCHES,
THIS LEPER FALLS DOWN BEFORE
00:10:40.50\00:10:41.56
THE LORD AND ASKS FOR A
MIRACLE. WHAT WILL JESUS
00:10:41.56\00:10:43.60
DO? WILL HE ALSO TURN
AWAY IN DISGUST? WILL HE CALL
00:10:43.60\00:10:50.23
FOR THE MAN TO BE STONED,
AS MANY PEOPLE WOULD HAVE
00:10:50.23\00:10:51.26
DONE? NO! JESUS DOES THE
UNTHINKABLE: HE SHOWS THIS
00:10:51.26\00:10:59.20
MAN COMPASSION! IT HAS
BEEN YEARS SINCE ANYONE
00:10:59.20\00:11:06.13
HAS TOUCHED THIS MAN. IT
HAD BEEN YEARS SINCE THIS
00:11:06.13\00:11:07.13
MAN HAD HELD HIS WIFE
OR CHILDREN. IT HAD BEEN
00:11:07.13\00:11:11.80
YEARS SINCE HE FELT THE
TOUCH OF A HUMAN HAND UPON
00:11:11.80\00:11:16.40
HIS. IT HAD BEEN YEARS
SINCE HE HAD BEEN ABLE TO
00:11:16.40\00:11:17.50
KISS HIS WIFE. HE HAD
BEEN ISOLATED AND ALONE! TO
00:11:17.50\00:11:22.60
TOUCH A LEPER MADE ONE
UNCLEAN AND WAS STRICTLY
00:11:22.60\00:11:29.93
FORBIDDEN BY THE LAW.
00:11:29.93\00:11:30.43
TOUCHING A LEPER
COULD POSSIBLY CAUSE THE ONE
00:11:30.43\00:11:35.80
TOUCHING TO BECOME
INFECTED AS WELL. BUT,
00:11:35.80\00:11:36.83
WHAT DID JESUS DO? HE
TOUCHED HIM! I DON'T KNOW
00:11:36.83\00:11:43.33
WHAT THAT LEPER EXPECTED.
00:11:43.33\00:11:43.83
PROBABLY TO BE RUN OFF
AT BEST AND STONED TO DEATH
00:11:43.83\00:11:50.60
AT WORST. BUT, IMAGINE
HIS SURPRISE WHEN JESUS
00:11:50.60\00:11:56.83
REACHED OUT HIS HAND
AND TOUCHED HIM! HE NEVER
00:11:56.83\00:11:57.80
EXPECTED THAT! CAN
YOU HEAR THE CROWD GASP IN
00:11:57.80\00:12:04.00
SURPRISE AND SHOCK AS
THEY SEE JESUS REACHING OUT TO
00:12:04.00\00:12:09.33
TOUCH THIS UNCLEAN MAN?
00:12:09.33\00:12:09.96
BUT, OH HOW GLORIOUS
THAT ONE TOUCH MUST HAVE FELT
00:12:09.96\00:12:17.53
TO THIS MAN! IF THERE
WAS ANY FEELING LEFT IN HIS
00:12:17.53\00:12:18.56
SKIN IT MUST HAVE FELT
LIKE NOTHING HE HAD EVER
00:12:18.56\00:12:22.70
FELT BEFORE! BUT, OTHERS
WOULD NEVER HAVE TOUCHED A
00:12:22.70\00:12:28.96
LEPER OUT OF FEAR OF
CONTRACTING THE DISEASE
00:12:28.96\00:12:29.93
THEMSELVES. HOWEVER,
JESUS, THE CLEANEST MAN IN
00:12:29.93\00:12:36.53
THE ENTIRE CROWD, TOUCHED
HIM WITHOUT FEAR. WHAT WAS
00:12:36.53\00:12:42.20
DIFFERENT ABOUT THIS
TOUCH? THE LEPER DID NOT
00:12:42.20\00:12:43.13
TRANSMIT TO JESUS THE
CORRUPTION OF HIS DISEASE.
00:12:43.13\00:12:49.43
RATHER, JESUS TRANSMITTED
TO THE LEPER THE CLEANSING
00:12:49.43\00:12:54.10
OF HIS DIVINITY!
00:12:54.10\00:12:59.50
DID YOU KNOW THAT
JESUS IS STILL TOUCHING LIVES
00:13:01.96\00:13:03.00
TODAY? IT MAKES NO
DIFFERENCE WHO YOU ARE OR
00:13:03.00\00:13:08.20
WHAT YOU MAY HAVE DONE,
YOU ARE NOT SO BAD AS TO
00:13:08.20\00:13:14.03
BE BEYOND HIS
GLORIOUS TOUCH. HAVE YOU
00:13:14.03\00:13:14.86
EXPERIENCED HIS
TOUCH? DO YOU REMEMBER HOW IT
00:13:14.86\00:13:19.83
FELT TO BE LOCKED IN
SIN'S DARK DUNGEON, HELPLESS AND
00:13:19.83\00:13:24.76
HOPELESSLY LOST IN YOUR
SINS? DO YOU REMEMBER HOW
00:13:24.76\00:13:25.80
GOOD IT FELT WHEN THE
LORD REACHED INTO THE HELL OF
00:13:25.80\00:13:30.36
YOUR LIFE AND TOUCHED YOU?
00:13:30.36\00:13:30.90
IF YOU DO, THEN YOU
KNOW THE GLORY OF HIS TOUCH.
00:13:30.90\00:13:37.06
IF YOU DON'T, YOU NEED
TO KNOW THAT HE WILL STILL
00:13:37.06\00:13:43.36
TOUCH YOU REGARDLESS
OF WHO YOU ARE, WHERE YOU
00:13:43.36\00:13:44.33
HAVE BEEN OR WHAT YOU
HAVE DONE! AS SOON AS JESUS
00:13:44.33\00:13:50.36
TOUCHED HIM HE IS
MADE CLEAN. HIS LEPROSY
00:13:50.36\00:13:57.10
INSTANTLY DEPARTS AND
HIS SKIN IS MADE A NEW AND AS
00:13:57.10\00:13:58.26
FRESH AS A BABIES.
HE IS LITERALLY GIVEN A
00:13:58.26\00:14:06.80
NEW LEASE ON LIFE! HE
CAN RETURN TO HIS LOVED ONES.
00:14:06.80\00:14:10.60
HE CAN REJOIN SOCIETY.
00:14:10.60\00:14:11.10
EVERYTHING CHANGED WHEN
HE FELT THE TRANSFORMING
00:14:11.10\00:14:17.36
TOUCH OF JESUS ON HIS
SKIN. THIS LEPER WAS TO
00:14:17.36\00:14:18.36
GO AND TO PRESENT
HIMSELF TO THE PRIEST AND HE WAS
00:14:18.36\00:14:23.56
TO GET A CERTIFICATE OF
CLEANSING ON THE BASIS OF
00:14:23.56\00:14:29.13
A CEREMONY IN
LEVITICUS 14. NOW IN LEVITICUS
00:14:29.13\00:14:30.10
CHAPTER 14 IT SAYS THAT
THE LEPER WAS TO COME TO
00:14:30.10\00:14:34.20
THE PRIEST AND THE PRIEST
WAS TO GO OUTSIDE THE CAMP
00:14:34.20\00:14:39.80
WHERE THE LEPER WAS. YOU
SEE, THE LEPER COULDN'T GO
00:14:39.80\00:14:40.83
IN THERE WHERE THE
PRIEST WAS, THE PRIEST HAD TO
00:14:40.83\00:14:46.46
COME OUT WHERE THE LEPER
WAS. AND, YOU SEE, THAT'S
00:14:46.46\00:14:49.83
EXACTLY WHAT JESUS HAS
DONE FOR US. YOU SEE, WHEN
00:14:49.83\00:14:50.86
WE COULDN'T GO TO HEAVEN
WHERE JESUS WAS JESUS CAME
00:14:50.86\00:14:54.40
DOWN HERE WHERE WE ARE.
00:14:54.40\00:14:54.90
JESUS HAS COME DOWN
HERE WHERE WE ARE, AND ON A
00:14:54.90\00:15:02.63
HILL OUTSIDE THE CITY OF
JERUSALEM JESUS SUFFERED.
00:15:02.63\00:15:09.03
AND THEN THAT PRIEST WAS
TO TAKE AN EARTHEN VESSEL
00:15:09.03\00:15:10.03
FILLED WITH WATER, HE WAS
TO TAKE TWO BIRDS. NOW ONE
00:15:10.03\00:15:15.70
OF THOSE BIRDS HE KILLED
AND LET THE BLOOD OF THAT
00:15:15.70\00:15:20.90
BIRD POUR INTO THE WATER,
AND THEN THE PRIEST WAS TO
00:15:20.90\00:15:21.96
TAKE THAT BLOOD AND
APPLY IT TO THE WINGS OF THE
00:15:21.96\00:15:27.00
LIVING BIRD AND THEN
HE TOOK THAT LIVING BIRD,
00:15:27.00\00:15:31.50
WITH THE BLOOD SPRINKLING
FROM ITS WINGS, OUT INTO
00:15:31.50\00:15:32.63
AN OPEN FIELD AND HE
LET THAT BIRD LOOSE AND THAT
00:15:32.63\00:15:36.70
BIRD WOULD GO FLYING
UP INTO THE AIR. AND THE
00:15:36.70\00:15:41.03
LEPER WOULD SEE THAT
BLOOD DROPPING DOWN FROM
00:15:41.03\00:15:41.96
THE BIRD AND HE
WOULD UNDERSTAND THE PRICE
00:15:41.96\00:15:46.73
OF HIS CLEANSING AND THE
MESSAGE WOULD COME TO THAT
00:15:46.73\00:15:51.23
LEPER, "I AM CLEAN
BECAUSE OF THE BLOOD."
00:15:51.23\00:15:57.13
YOU SEE, FRIENDS, THERE'S
ONLY ONE ELEMENT THAT CAN
00:15:59.46\00:16:00.56
CLEANSE YOU FROM YOUR
SINS TODAY AND THAT IS THE
00:16:00.56\00:16:05.16
BLOOD OF JESUS. YOU
SAY, "WELL, MY SINS ARE SO
00:16:05.16\00:16:10.53
DEEP", BUT THE LORD
SAYS, "MY BLOOD GOES SO MUCH
00:16:10.53\00:16:11.53
DEEPER." OH, BUT,
"LORD, MY SINS HAVE GONE TOO
00:16:11.53\00:16:18.23
FAR", BUT HE SAYS,
"MY BLOOD HAS GONE MUCH
00:16:18.23\00:16:22.96
FARTHER." OH, BUT, "LORD,
MY SINS ARE STRONG"; JESUS
00:16:22.96\00:16:24.03
SAYS, "MY BLOOD IS SO
MUCH STRONGER." JUST AS THAT
00:16:24.03\00:16:29.20
LEPER HAD HIS
CLEANSING COMPLETED BY THE
00:16:29.20\00:16:34.33
APPLICATION OF BLOOD,
SO THE SINNER TODAY IS MADE
00:16:34.33\00:16:35.30
CLEAN THROUGH THE SHED
BLOOD OF THE LORD JESUS
00:16:35.30\00:16:41.03
CHRIST 1 PETER 1:18 - 19:
00:16:41.03\00:16:50.10
NOTICE WHAT JESUS SAYS
THAT THIS WILL BE: "FOR
00:17:11.00\00:17:12.00
A TESTIMONY UNTO THEM". I
WOULD SAY THAT HIGH PRIEST
00:17:12.00\00:17:18.70
HAD NEVER SEEN A LEPER
CLEANSED. I WOULD VENTURE
00:17:18.70\00:17:24.96
TO SAY THAT HE HAD NEVER
UTILIZED THE COMMANDMENTS
00:17:24.96\00:17:25.96
GIVEN IN LEVITICUS 14.
00:17:25.96\00:17:30.96
BUT, THAT DAY, HE WAS
PUT ON NOTICE THAT THERE WAS
00:17:30.96\00:17:32.06
A MAN IN TOWN WHO HAD
THE POWER TO TAKE AWAY
00:17:32.06\00:17:39.43
LEPROSY! WHAT A TESTIMONY
IT WAS WHEN THAT POOR OLD
00:17:39.43\00:17:45.76
LEPER WAS GLORIOUSLY
CLEANSED AND APPLIED AT
00:17:45.76\00:17:46.73
THE TEMPLE FOR CLEANSING!
00:17:46.73\00:17:55.30
WHAT A TESTIMONY IT IS
WHEN JESUS CHANGES A LIFE!
00:17:55.30\00:17:56.33
EVERYONE WHO HAD BEEN
SET FREE FROM THE BONDAGE OF
00:17:56.33\00:18:03.56
SIN OUGHT TO BE OUT
THERE "PUBLISHING THE MATTER"
00:18:03.56\00:18:07.06
AND TELLING A
WATCHING WORLD THAT JESUS SETS
00:18:07.06\00:18:08.03
SINNERS FREE AND
CHANGES LIFE FOREVER! WHAT
00:18:08.03\00:18:13.20
A BLESSING THE TESTIMONIES
OF THE SAINTS ARE. ARE YOU
00:18:13.20\00:18:17.50
LIKE THAT POOR OLD
LEPER? ARE YOU DISEASED
00:18:17.50\00:18:18.53
SPIRITUALLY AND NEED
HELP GETTING FREE? JESUS
00:18:18.53\00:18:25.76
CHRIST IS STILL IN THE
LIFE-CHANGING, SOUL-SAVING
00:18:25.76\00:18:29.63
BUSINESS. IF HE IS DEALING
WITH YOUR HEART, YOU NEED
00:18:29.63\00:18:30.70
TO KNOW THAT YOU DO NOT
HAVE TO LIVE IN YOUR SINS
00:18:30.70\00:18:36.06
FOR ONE MORE MINUTE! IF
YOU WILL COME TO HIM RIGHT
00:18:36.06\00:18:41.50
NOW, LIKE THAT LEPER
DID, BELIEVING HIM FOR
00:18:41.50\00:18:42.53
YOUR SOUL'S SALVATION,
EVERYTHING WILL FOREVER
00:18:42.53\00:18:47.30
CHANGE IN YOUR LIFE. IF
GOD IS CALLING YOU AND YOU
00:18:47.30\00:18:52.30
ARE READY FOR A NEW
LIFE, COME TO HIM RIGHT NOW!
00:18:52.30\00:18:53.30
WHATEVER YOUR NEEDS MAY
BE TODAY, YOU COME TO HIM AND
00:18:53.30\00:19:00.53
HE WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU!
00:19:00.53\00:19:05.23

JESUS AND I PRAY FOR
THOSE WHO MIGHT BE LISTENING TO

HI, EVERYONE! ARE YOU
GETTING ENOUGH VEGETABLES
00:21:58.03\00:21:59.16
IN YOUR EVERYDAY EATING?
00:21:59.16\00:22:02.53
IF YOU'RE LIKE MOST
PEOPLE, YOU MIGHT BE
00:22:02.53\00:22:03.40
EATING SOME FRUITS BUT
NOT ENOUGH VEGETABLES AND,
00:22:03.40\00:22:05.50
ESPECIALLY, NOT ENOUGH
OF THE GREEN STUFF. I'M
00:22:05.50\00:22:10.10
TALKING DARK, LEAFY
GREENS, LIKE SPINACH,
00:22:10.10\00:22:11.03
KALE, COLLARD GREENS.
00:22:11.03\00:22:14.40
THESE TYPES OF PLANT
FOODS ARE POWERHOUSES OF GOOD
00:22:14.40\00:22:15.60
NUTRITION. IN FACT,
IT MIGHT SURPRISE YOU TO
00:22:15.60\00:22:20.10
KNOW THAT GREENS CONTAIN
PROTEIN! IN HIS BOOK "EAT
00:22:20.10\00:22:25.66
TO LIVE" DR. JOEL
FURHMAN WRITES, "EVEN PHYSICIANS
00:22:25.66\00:22:26.66
AND DIETITIANS.
ARE SURPRISED TO LEARN
00:22:26.66\00:22:31.06
THAT. WHEN YOU EAT
LARGE QUANTITIES OF GREEN
00:22:31.06\00:22:34.66
VEGETABLES, YOU RECEIVE
A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF
00:22:34.66\00:22:35.66
PROTEIN." AND, IN THE
BOOK "THE CHINA STUDY" DR.
00:22:35.66\00:22:39.90
COLIN CAMPBELL REPORTS
THAT "THERE IS A MOUNTAIN
00:22:39.90\00:22:43.83
OF COMPELLING
EVIDENCE SHOWING THAT SO CALLED
00:22:43.83\00:22:44.90
'LOW-QUALITY' PLANT
PROTEIN, WHICH ALLOWS FOR
00:22:44.90\00:22:48.86
SLOW BUT STEADY SYNTHESIS
OF NEW PROTEINS, IS THE
00:22:48.86\00:22:53.40
HEALTHIEST TYPE OF
PROTEIN." FINALLY, IN
00:22:53.40\00:22:54.26
HER BOOK "GREEN FOR
LIFE" AUTHOR VICTORIA BOUTENKO
00:22:54.26\00:22:58.10
REMINDS US THAT "GREENS
HAVE SUFFICIENT PROTEIN TO
00:22:58.10\00:23:02.53
BUILD MUSCLE IN
GRAZING ANIMALS." THINK OF THE
00:23:02.53\00:23:03.53
ELEPHANT AND THE
GIRAFFE - THESE ARE PLANT-EATING
00:23:03.53\00:23:06.70
ANIMALS. NOW, ISN'T IT
INTERESTING THAT SO MANY
00:23:06.70\00:23:11.80
PEOPLE RELY ON
PLANT-EATING ANIMALS SUCH
00:23:11.80\00:23:12.66
AS COWS AND GOATS FOR
THEIR PROTEIN? INSTEAD
00:23:12.66\00:23:16.86
OF GETTING YOUR PROTEIN
SECOND-HAND, WHY NOT TAKE
00:23:16.86\00:23:21.50
A LESSON FROM THESE
ANIMALS AND GO DIRECTLY
00:23:21.50\00:23:22.46
TO THE SOURCE? WITH
GREENS YOU GET A WONDERFUL
00:23:22.46\00:23:25.93
DIVERSITY OF
NUTRIENTS CONSIDER THIS FROM THE
00:23:25.93\00:23:30.66
BOOK "GREEN FOR LIFE":
IF YOU TAKE 100G EACH OF
00:23:30.66\00:23:31.63
BEETS AND BEET GREENS,
DID YOU KNOW THAT THE BEET
00:23:31.63\00:23:36.63
GREENS HAVE AROUND 32%
MORE FIBRE, 7 TIMES MORE
00:23:36.63\00:23:42.83
CALCIUM, ñ3 TIMES
MORE IRON, ñ6 TIMES MORE
00:23:42.83\00:23:43.70
VITAMIN C, AND - ARE
YOU READY FOR THIS? - A
00:23:43.70\00:23:48.26
WHOPPING 200 TIMES MORE
VITAMIN A THAN THE BEETS
00:23:48.26\00:23:52.36
THEMSELVES! AND,
THERE'S 40% MORE PROTEIN. MOST
00:23:52.36\00:23:53.33
PEOPLE THROW AWAY THE
BEET GREENS, RIGHT?! MY GUESS
00:23:53.33\00:24:00.46
IS YOU WON'T DO THAT
ANYMORE! SIMPLY USE THE
00:24:00.46\00:24:05.10
BEET GREENS THE SAME
WAY YOU WOULD USE ANY DARK,
00:24:05.10\00:24:06.10
LEAFY GREEN. YOU CAN
STEAM THEM, CHOP THEM UP FINELY
00:24:06.10\00:24:10.26
AND USE THEM IN
SALAD, OR ADD THEM TO A GREEN
00:24:10.26\00:24:13.93
SMOOTHIE! A GREEN
SMOOTHIE YOU ASK? HERE'S
00:24:13.93\00:24:14.80
A SMOOTHIE RECIPE FROM
THE BOOK "GREEN FOR LIFE" THAT
00:24:14.80\00:24:20.60
IS SO GOOD FOR YOU! TAKE
8 LARGE LEAVES OF ASSORTED
00:24:20.60\00:24:25.16
DARK, LEAFY GREENS (USE
4 LEAVES OF ROMAINE LETTUCE
00:24:25.16\00:24:26.30
AS A BASE, THEN ADD
OTHER GREENS SUCH AS KALE,
00:24:26.30\00:24:30.96
CHARD, COLLARD GREENS, OR
SPINACH). ADD A BANANA FOR
00:24:30.96\00:24:36.23
A NICE CONSISTENCY
AND ANOTHER FRUIT SUCH AS
00:24:36.23\00:24:37.20
A PEAR, A MANGO, OR A
QUARTER OF A CANTALOUPE
00:24:37.20\00:24:40.23
AS A SWEETENER. TOP IT
ALL OFF WITH ABOUT 1&1/2 CUPS
00:24:40.23\00:24:45.20
OF WATER. BLEND IN YOUR
BLENDER UNTIL VERY SMOOTH
00:24:45.20\00:24:46.23
THIS SMOOTHIE WILL
PROVIDE YOU WITH A WHOLE
00:24:46.23\00:24:51.50
HOST OF ANTIOXIDANTS AND
PHYTONUTRIENTS. IF YOU'RE
00:24:51.50\00:24:56.13
NOT GETTING ENOUGH
GREENS ON A DAILY BASIS, THIS
00:24:56.13\00:24:57.13
IS A GOOD WAY TO DO IT.
00:24:57.13\00:25:00.83
IDEALLY, YOU SHOULD BE
GETTING AROUND 4 SERVINGS
00:25:00.83\00:25:01.83
OF VEGETABLES DAILY.
00:25:01.83\00:25:05.23
SERVING SIZES ARE SMALL,
THOUGH. FOR EXAMPLE 1 CUP
00:25:05.23\00:25:06.23
OF RAW VEGETABLES, OR
½ CUP COOKED VEGETABLES.
00:25:06.23\00:25:10.46
AND, YOU'RE COOKING
VEGETABLES, IT'S USUALLY
00:25:10.46\00:25:15.16
BEST TO STEAM THEM
TO AVOID LOSING VALUABLE
00:25:15.16\00:25:16.06
NUTRIENTS IN THE WATER.
IN THIS NEW ERA OF GOING
00:25:16.06\00:25:20.76
GREEN FOR THE ENVIRONMENT,
BE SURE TO "GO GREEN" -
00:25:20.76\00:25:24.53
VEGETABLE GREEN -
FOR YOUR BODY AS WELL.
00:25:24.53\00:25:25.43
SEE YOU NEXT TIME!
