And God says oh, I
want to minister to her.
00:00:21.49\00:00:24.05
I said, well, of
course you do, go ahead.
00:00:24.08\00:00:27.82
That's what you do so well.
00:00:27.85\00:00:30.49
Oh, God says,
don't play games with me.
00:00:30.52\00:00:33.69
You know that I
neither instrument to work.
00:00:33.72\00:00:36.67
Then I said, well,
I have noticed that.
00:00:36.70\00:00:39.56
I don't know why I do
but I just to say okay,
00:00:39.59\00:00:41.95
I'm available here use me
00:00:41.98\00:00:43.42
but I go through this rigmarole.
00:00:43.45\00:00:48.36
And God says,
well, you are pretty
00:00:48.39\00:00:49.94
close to the accident here.
00:00:49.97\00:00:51.38
I said, there's 50
people standing here,
00:00:51.41\00:00:55.09
you know I'm
continuing to be stubborn.
00:00:55.12\00:00:56.75
I can't believe it why
are You singling me out.
00:00:56.78\00:01:00.48
And God says, are you or
are you not working for me?
00:01:00.51\00:01:04.68
I said, well, yes I'm.
00:01:04.71\00:01:05.97
Well, God says will be quite.
00:01:06.00\00:01:09.26
I'm planning to
use you and that's it.
00:01:09.29\00:01:11.41
I said, okay, I have the message
00:01:11.44\00:01:13.08
what do You want me to do?
00:01:13.11\00:01:15.86
Then God says, go over
there and pray for this woman.
00:01:15.89\00:01:18.70
I said in front of 50 people?
00:01:18.73\00:01:20.29
God says, yes.
00:01:20.32\00:01:22.89
God and put your armor
and I said you can't put
00:01:22.92\00:01:25.02
your armor in
the homeless woman.
00:01:25.05\00:01:27.51
If you've had any
dealings with the homeless
00:01:27.54\00:01:29.68
you will now have skittish.
00:01:29.71\00:01:32.18
And as soon as I
approached this woman
00:01:32.21\00:01:33.65
she backed her way from me.
00:01:33.68\00:01:34.75
I knew she would so
God whisper in my ear
00:01:34.78\00:01:38.58
let her know that I've sent you.
00:01:38.61\00:01:41.55
So I said to this woman
don't be afraid I'm a Christian
00:01:41.58\00:01:48.51
and I was standing
over there by the pole
00:01:48.54\00:01:50.56
and God spoke to me and said go
00:01:50.59\00:01:53.01
and minister to this woman.
00:01:53.04\00:01:56.18
So I said, God has sent me
00:01:56.21\00:01:58.91
to minister to you
right up at this very moment,
00:01:58.94\00:02:01.58
I hope that's okay.
00:02:01.61\00:02:04.55
She hesitated.
00:02:04.58\00:02:05.63
I said, well, I'd
like to pray for you.
00:02:05.66\00:02:07.68
Right now I'm gonna put
my arm around your shoulder
00:02:07.71\00:02:10.20
and say, that's okay,
00:02:10.23\00:02:11.63
and I'm gonna
lift you up to God.
00:02:11.66\00:02:13.40
I could see the tear
in the corner of her eye.
00:02:13.43\00:02:17.27
She said, please.
00:02:17.30\00:02:19.13
Just like that God knows exactly
00:02:19.16\00:02:21.39
what He is doing, doesn't He?
00:02:21.42\00:02:22.87
Why do I even question to her.
00:02:22.90\00:02:25.67
So I put my arm around her
00:02:25.70\00:02:26.85
she did not
resist which amazed me
00:02:26.88\00:02:30.18
and I just lifted
her up and God gave me
00:02:30.21\00:02:32.69
the most beautiful
prayer for this woman,
00:02:32.72\00:02:35.03
the pain she was in.
00:02:35.06\00:02:36.56
How humiliating
it must have been
00:02:36.59\00:02:38.18
to walk into a restaurant
and to get carried out bodily.
00:02:38.21\00:02:43.97
And so God gave
me a beautiful prayer
00:02:44.00\00:02:47.25
of compassion for this woman.
00:02:47.28\00:02:51.12
I finished
prayer, she is weeping.
00:02:51.15\00:02:52.78
I can tell its had a
profound impact upon her
00:02:52.81\00:02:57.62
and I finished praying.
00:02:57.65\00:02:59.93
Oh, by the way I meant
to tell you something else.
00:02:59.96\00:03:01.77
I have a very
poor sense of smell.
00:03:01.80\00:03:05.19
It saved me from great
disasters in New Guinea.
00:03:05.22\00:03:10.90
But even I could
tell that this woman
00:03:10.93\00:03:12.66
has not been near a
shower for a long, long time.
00:03:12.69\00:03:17.12
Even my poor sense of
smell could detect that.
00:03:17.15\00:03:20.88
I'm standing there
with my arm around her
00:03:20.91\00:03:22.69
and the smell was incredible.
00:03:22.72\00:03:25.79
So I decided to flee
as quickly as I could.
00:03:25.82\00:03:29.87
So I withdrew my
hand from her shoulder
00:03:29.90\00:03:33.74
and before I could
take a step towards my car
00:03:33.77\00:03:36.86
which was my
refuge she spun around.
00:03:36.89\00:03:41.12
She is this close to me
and she is facing me now
00:03:41.15\00:03:44.73
and before I could
actually say a word
00:03:44.76\00:03:47.10
this woman bless her heart,
00:03:47.13\00:03:49.63
plants a big
kiss right on my lips.
00:03:49.66\00:03:57.53
Yes...
00:03:57.56\00:03:58.60
I said to
myself it's my destiny.
00:04:00.64\00:04:05.49
I'm being kissed
by a homeless woman
00:04:05.52\00:04:09.87
and everything in me said--
00:04:09.90\00:04:11.39
And once again, you
know, I can't believe
00:04:16.40\00:04:17.98
I've been such a slow
learner in these matters.
00:04:18.01\00:04:22.88
Once again the rebuking
00:04:22.91\00:04:24.62
voice of God's
spirit came to me.
00:04:24.65\00:04:26.77
I don't know how many
times God has rebuked me
00:04:26.80\00:04:28.91
for something similar to
this beginning with the leper.
00:04:28.94\00:04:32.76
You think I would
have learnt this lesson
00:04:32.79\00:04:34.34
whole those years ago.
00:04:34.37\00:04:38.02
God incredible
sense of humor kicked in
00:04:38.06\00:04:41.67
and God said to me
what's wrong with you,
00:04:41.70\00:04:43.55
you are not that desirable.
00:04:43.58\00:04:47.80
I said, okay.
00:04:47.83\00:04:49.10
And before I
could think it through
00:04:52.63\00:04:55.85
same thing with the
leper God says to me
00:04:55.88\00:05:00.37
she is not kissing you...
00:05:00.40\00:05:03.63
she is kissing me.
00:05:07.28\00:05:08.95
Amen. Amen.
00:05:08.98\00:05:11.25
You just
happened to be the vessel
00:05:11.28\00:05:16.00
that I'm choosing to
use to manifest my love
00:05:16.03\00:05:19.12
and compassion to this woman.
00:05:19.15\00:05:22.08
And she is responding to me.
00:05:22.11\00:05:26.98
And once again I stand amazed
00:05:27.01\00:05:30.52
that the
incredible compassion of God.
00:05:30.55\00:05:32.81
You know, what I said
to myself as I looked up,
00:05:32.84\00:05:35.80
God has the whole
universe to administrate,
00:05:35.83\00:05:39.76
probably millions of
worlds that He is looking after
00:05:39.79\00:05:43.71
and He has the time to
look down to our planet
00:05:43.74\00:05:48.11
to my hometown
to the main street
00:05:48.14\00:05:51.80
at 8 o'clock at
night and spot one woman.
00:05:51.83\00:05:57.37
What does that tell us?
00:05:57.40\00:06:00.48
In the whole
universe God has the time
00:06:00.51\00:06:04.13
and the inclination to look down
00:06:04.16\00:06:07.00
and focus on one
woman who is hurting
00:06:07.03\00:06:12.61
and to reveal
Himself as a God of love
00:06:12.64\00:06:16.13
and compassion to
this one hurting soul.
00:06:16.16\00:06:19.51
I'm humbled at the realization
00:06:19.54\00:06:23.98
that I'm being
privileged to be an instrument
00:06:24.01\00:06:27.30
for revealing
the compassion to God
00:06:27.33\00:06:29.41
to such a hurting human being.
00:06:29.44\00:06:31.83
Amen. Amen.
00:06:31.86\00:06:33.10
I repent immediately
for being concerned about me
00:06:33.13\00:06:38.44
and I allowed her to kiss me.
00:06:38.47\00:06:42.33
Finally I had to push her away
00:06:42.36\00:06:43.81
to come up for birth
00:06:43.84\00:06:50.61
and I had to excuse myself
00:06:50.64\00:06:52.69
but before I did
God said remember,
00:06:52.72\00:06:54.51
I've asked you to put
your hand in your pocket
00:06:54.54\00:06:56.25
and give her enough money
for the next two or three weeks
00:06:56.28\00:06:59.90
so she can eat for the
next several weeks which I did.
00:06:59.93\00:07:04.01
I said to her, remember
this is not me, this is God.
00:07:04.04\00:07:07.57
Amen. Amen.
00:07:07.60\00:07:09.83
And I walked away rejoicing,
00:07:09.86\00:07:13.20
ashamed of the
fact that once again
00:07:13.23\00:07:14.94
I had allowed myself
00:07:14.97\00:07:16.25
to get involved
virtual about God not me.
00:07:16.28\00:07:20.34
And my eyes had been
opened again to the marvelous,
00:07:20.37\00:07:24.40
marvelous depth
of the love of God
00:07:24.43\00:07:28.19
and the compassion that He has
00:07:28.22\00:07:29.94
for hurting human beings.
00:07:29.97\00:07:33.48
How is your faith this morning?
00:07:33.51\00:07:34.74
Amen.
00:07:34.77\00:07:36.31
Are you worshiping
a God of compassion?
00:07:36.34\00:07:39.71
Are you letting Him love you?
00:07:39.74\00:07:44.12
Would you let Him get this close
00:07:44.15\00:07:45.70
but not this close?
00:07:45.73\00:07:48.30
What happens with our
leper friend here this morning?
00:07:48.33\00:07:50.69
Let's look at...
00:07:50.72\00:07:51.75
for verse 41,
00:07:55.38\00:07:56.58
"Jesus has
moved with compassion"
00:07:56.61\00:07:58.28
and now the big
point of the sermon.
00:07:58.31\00:08:00.43
Every sermon has a big point
00:08:00.46\00:08:04.26
and this is the big point.
00:08:04.29\00:08:06.27
You know, what I like
about Jesus He is radical.
00:08:06.30\00:08:09.31
I mean He's
almost revolutionary.
00:08:09.34\00:08:12.78
He's constantly
getting people to turn to Bible
00:08:12.81\00:08:15.09
I would say isn't he Jewish?
00:08:15.12\00:08:18.14
Wasn't He raised
in a good Jewish home?
00:08:18.17\00:08:20.63
Didn't they teach Him anything?
00:08:20.66\00:08:24.45
Because Jesus has a penitent,
00:08:24.48\00:08:27.57
He has a habit of
wanting to reach out
00:08:27.60\00:08:30.75
and touch unclean things.
00:08:30.78\00:08:32.52
Have you noticed it?
00:08:32.55\00:08:33.99
He is always doing it.
00:08:34.02\00:08:37.24
You got a
little city called Nain
00:08:37.27\00:08:39.98
and a funeral procession
coming out of the gates
00:08:40.01\00:08:42.44
and what does He do?
00:08:42.47\00:08:45.02
He walks over in
front of all of pharoses
00:08:45.05\00:08:47.40
and the Jewish leaders
and he touches the coffin.
00:08:47.43\00:08:52.66
Nobody in
Judaism touch the coffin.
00:08:52.69\00:08:56.63
It took three or four
days of ritual cleansing
00:08:56.66\00:09:01.51
to be made right
again once you touch things
00:09:01.54\00:09:04.13
associated with the dead.
00:09:04.16\00:09:07.15
But Jesus didn't
have any hesitation,
00:09:07.18\00:09:08.91
He just goes up
and touches the coffin.
00:09:08.94\00:09:12.94
Then He was up the last supper,
00:09:12.97\00:09:16.32
He washed the
feet of His disciples.
00:09:16.35\00:09:20.06
I wonder about
that verse for years
00:09:20.09\00:09:21.93
where it says that
Jesus took off His garments.
00:09:21.96\00:09:25.33
I finally allowed
myself to ask the big question,
00:09:25.36\00:09:27.59
well, what's He
standing there in
00:09:27.62\00:09:30.39
if He took off His garments
and why did He take them off?
00:09:30.42\00:09:35.80
When it came to me it
says He guarded himself
00:09:35.83\00:09:39.24
in a tell we say
traditionally you know,
00:09:39.27\00:09:41.05
I had a shower this morning
and then I was done I wiped,
00:09:41.08\00:09:44.12
I picked up a
towel and dried myself
00:09:44.15\00:09:45.71
and I wrapped it
around my middle.
00:09:45.74\00:09:48.41
Jesus did not walk
into the last supper
00:09:48.44\00:09:50.61
wearing a towel
around His middle.
00:09:50.64\00:09:54.49
My research showed
me that in those days
00:09:54.52\00:09:56.72
the servants
wore a special garment
00:09:56.75\00:10:00.04
made from very coarse cloth.
00:10:00.07\00:10:03.40
Jesus took off His own garments
00:10:03.43\00:10:05.37
because He's putting
on the robe of a servant
00:10:05.40\00:10:11.52
and one end of
this robe was longer
00:10:11.55\00:10:14.89
so they could
drape it over their arm.
00:10:14.92\00:10:18.45
So that when Jesus wiped
the feet of His disciples
00:10:18.48\00:10:23.36
the Bible says
He wiped their feet
00:10:23.39\00:10:25.37
with the towel
which He was wearing.
00:10:25.40\00:10:30.29
Jesus actually wiped
the feet of His disciples
00:10:30.32\00:10:34.37
on the very
garment that He is wearing.
00:10:34.40\00:10:38.64
Symbolically
trying to show us what?
00:10:38.67\00:10:42.14
I see your head
nodding there, Cindy,
00:10:42.17\00:10:43.81
what are you thinking?
00:10:43.84\00:10:45.95
He is taking our sin
00:10:45.98\00:10:48.22
and He is
placing them on Himself.
00:10:48.25\00:10:50.24
Amen. Amen.
00:10:50.27\00:10:52.65
Would you call that
an enthusiastic response.
00:10:52.68\00:10:54.92
Repeat it
again. Repeat it again.
00:10:54.95\00:10:57.88
He is taking our sin
00:10:57.91\00:10:59.56
and He is
placing them on Himself.
00:10:59.59\00:11:01.56
Amen. Amen.
00:11:01.59\00:11:02.77
Whenever-- thank you very much.
00:11:02.80\00:11:04.38
Whenever Jesus
touches something unclean
00:11:04.41\00:11:08.19
He is symbolically
transferring the dirt,
00:11:08.22\00:11:11.99
the sin, the grime
00:11:12.02\00:11:14.67
from whatever He is
touching unto Himself.
00:11:14.70\00:11:18.47
It's a symbol of
His atoning death
00:11:18.50\00:11:21.78
which takes all guilt
and sin away from the sinner
00:11:21.81\00:11:26.65
and transfers it onto
Jesus opening the door
00:11:26.68\00:11:30.98
for
transformation of life healing,
00:11:31.01\00:11:34.17
even restoration
of life to take place.
00:11:34.20\00:11:37.19
Amen. Amen.
00:11:37.22\00:11:38.74
What a splendid
example Jesus continually set
00:11:38.77\00:11:43.24
that's why He always reaches out
00:11:43.27\00:11:45.47
and touches the unclean.
00:11:45.50\00:11:47.79
He is trying to
teach His disciples
00:11:47.82\00:11:50.52
that sin will ultimately
be transferred onto Himself.
00:11:50.55\00:11:56.33
What a God we have?
00:11:56.36\00:11:58.66
And what happens here,
00:11:58.69\00:12:01.85
He knows He's about to die,
00:12:01.88\00:12:03.29
He knows that all the sin
00:12:03.32\00:12:05.49
of this leper will
be transferred onto Him
00:12:05.52\00:12:08.29
at the cross
00:12:08.32\00:12:09.66
so He reaches out symbolically
00:12:09.69\00:12:12.77
and dramatically shows
the transference of sin
00:12:12.80\00:12:15.81
so that what might take place?
00:12:15.84\00:12:19.25
The healing, the restoration
00:12:19.28\00:12:22.73
of the leper can now take place.
00:12:22.76\00:12:26.70
Notice the words of
Jesus at the end of verse 41.
00:12:26.73\00:12:33.34
The leper already said
to Him if you are willing
00:12:33.37\00:12:35.47
and Jesus now uses
those immortal words,
00:12:35.50\00:12:38.51
"I'm willing, be cleansed,
be healed, be restored."
00:12:38.54\00:12:46.43
And if you are
looking at the next verse,
00:12:46.46\00:12:47.88
verse 42 there's
a great word there,
00:12:47.91\00:12:50.92
"Immediately" do
you like that word?
00:12:50.95\00:12:53.20
Yes.
00:12:53.23\00:12:54.30
There's no
messing around with Jesus,
00:12:54.33\00:12:56.62
He's touched the
man, his sins are forgiven
00:12:56.65\00:12:59.84
by being transferred to Jesus.
00:12:59.87\00:13:01.84
He is about to die
and take them to death.
00:13:01.87\00:13:06.08
Immediately now the door is open
00:13:06.11\00:13:10.18
for the leper to be
healed, cleansed, restore.
00:13:10.21\00:13:16.75
Having hugged a leper
00:13:16.78\00:13:19.23
I can only imagine
what this must mean.
00:13:19.26\00:13:23.08
When I started hugging lepers
00:13:23.11\00:13:24.53
I have to confess this
story kept popping into my mind.
00:13:24.56\00:13:28.91
I begged God to give
me the level of faith
00:13:28.94\00:13:31.58
that I could say what
Jesus said to the lepers,
00:13:31.61\00:13:36.57
be healed, be restored,
00:13:36.60\00:13:41.24
be cleansed and immediately.
00:13:41.27\00:13:45.23
How is your faith here today?
00:13:45.26\00:13:46.92
Amen. Amen.
00:13:46.95\00:13:49.76
Any leper sitting here today?
00:13:49.79\00:13:52.19
Yes.
00:13:52.22\00:13:53.86
Anyone in need
of cleansing today?
00:13:53.89\00:13:57.45
But I want you to notice I mean,
00:13:57.48\00:13:58.61
this is the great sense of humor
00:13:58.64\00:14:00.66
that Jesus has in verse 44.
00:14:00.69\00:14:04.95
It's almost hard
for me to believe
00:14:04.98\00:14:07.07
that Jesus said this
makes me laugh every time
00:14:07.10\00:14:09.57
I think about it
because here's a guy
00:14:09.60\00:14:11.02
that's been a leper
probably for most of his life
00:14:11.05\00:14:13.89
and Jesus has just healed
him and he says to the God,
00:14:13.92\00:14:17.68
don't tell anybody.
00:14:17.71\00:14:22.07
If I was a leper
I want to tell you
00:14:22.10\00:14:23.51
I would be shouting
out to the mountain tops.
00:14:23.54\00:14:26.86
I'm healed, I'm restored,
00:14:26.89\00:14:30.87
I'm made whole.
00:14:30.90\00:14:33.44
Praise God. Amen.
00:14:33.47\00:14:36.52
Because Jesus
didn't say it lightly
00:14:36.55\00:14:38.20
because He knew
that His life was gonna
00:14:38.23\00:14:41.04
become much more complicated
once the word went out.
00:14:41.07\00:14:44.99
And after this it was hard
for him to appear in public
00:14:45.02\00:14:47.64
because the
crowds were just so big.
00:14:47.67\00:14:50.52
So He started going to
more remote areas after this.
00:14:50.55\00:14:54.51
But the leper could
not hold himself back.
00:14:54.54\00:14:59.15
I think I'd be the
same, wouldn't you?
00:14:59.18\00:15:00.97
Amen.
00:15:01.00\00:15:02.03
I would be wanting to
shout out to the stars
00:15:02.06\00:15:05.93
that God has healed
me in a most amazing
00:15:05.96\00:15:09.59
and miraculous manner.
00:15:09.62\00:15:11.16
Amen. Amen.
00:15:11.19\00:15:13.30
So I'm bringing
this home to you today
00:15:13.33\00:15:17.23
because this is the message
00:15:17.26\00:15:18.51
that we need to have
serious reflection upon.
00:15:18.54\00:15:24.91
I'm very serious when I ask is
00:15:24.94\00:15:26.74
there any leper sitting here
00:15:26.77\00:15:28.26
and some of you have
already acknowledged that
00:15:28.29\00:15:32.31
because God is in
the healing, restoring,
00:15:32.34\00:15:38.09
forgiving,
loving, acceptance mode.
00:15:38.12\00:15:42.39
You know that, don't you?
00:15:42.42\00:15:44.67
There is no need
to remain unhealed,
00:15:44.70\00:15:49.64
un-restored, lacking
in wholeness in your life.
00:15:49.67\00:15:55.79
We are dealing with the
life giver himself here.
00:15:55.82\00:16:00.25
It didn't matter to
Jesus whether He is dealing
00:16:00.28\00:16:03.19
with a person who is considered
00:16:03.22\00:16:04.61
to be at the
lowest level of society.
00:16:04.64\00:16:09.92
Jesus was simply
available for the restoration
00:16:09.95\00:16:14.19
of the fullness of
life to sinful humanity
00:16:14.22\00:16:19.03
and you simply want
to say to Jesus by faith
00:16:19.06\00:16:22.49
and it doesn't matter
I've already made this point
00:16:22.52\00:16:26.27
whether it's physical,
00:16:26.30\00:16:29.77
spiritual, mental,
00:16:29.80\00:16:34.87
social whatever
aspect of your life
00:16:34.90\00:16:40.08
is out of balance
00:16:40.11\00:16:43.38
and you need healing and
wholeness restored to you.
00:16:43.41\00:16:48.77
You're so weary,
perhaps you are a slave to sin
00:16:48.80\00:16:52.96
and you have been struggling
and you cannot break free.
00:16:52.99\00:16:57.15
Perhaps you are weary
of being double minded
00:16:57.18\00:17:00.67
and you have
moments on a mountain top
00:17:00.70\00:17:02.43
and then you find
yourself in a valley
00:17:02.46\00:17:05.46
and you are wondering
when you will be done with this
00:17:05.49\00:17:09.53
and you can actually on
a daily basis praise God
00:17:09.56\00:17:12.94
and give Him glory.
00:17:12.97\00:17:15.98
If there's anyone
sitting here today
00:17:16.01\00:17:18.97
who in anyway is
identifying with the leper
00:17:19.00\00:17:22.99
and the Holy Spirit is
touching you at this moment
00:17:23.02\00:17:25.46
and saying to you,
hey, that's you buddy.
00:17:25.49\00:17:29.71
I want you on
your feet this morning.
00:17:29.74\00:17:33.18
This is not a board call now,
00:17:33.21\00:17:34.79
be very careful
responding to this.
00:17:34.82\00:17:36.77
It's an individual matter.
00:17:36.80\00:17:39.19
Wow, I had no idea
00:17:39.22\00:17:41.75
I was visiting
another leper colony today.
00:17:41.78\00:17:48.06
I love your spirit.
00:17:48.09\00:17:53.19
Is there anyone on their feet
00:17:53.22\00:17:57.64
who is boldly acting upon
their faith as the leper did?
00:17:57.67\00:18:03.70
He came to Jesus and boldly
00:18:03.73\00:18:07.00
and simply said
Lord, if You are willing
00:18:07.03\00:18:10.88
You can heal me.
00:18:10.91\00:18:12.28
Amen.
00:18:12.31\00:18:13.37
And Jesus responded
I'm willing be healed.
00:18:13.40\00:18:19.60
You can walk out of this
room today a healed, restored,
00:18:19.63\00:18:24.38
made whole
individual by the grace of God.
00:18:24.41\00:18:28.36
Is there anyone bold enough
today to act on their faith
00:18:28.39\00:18:31.23
and to publicly declare to God
00:18:31.26\00:18:35.54
if You are
willing You can heal me?
00:18:35.57\00:18:38.57
Anyone here who
has that kind of faith?
00:18:38.60\00:18:41.69
Go ahead please.
00:18:41.72\00:18:43.46
Heavenly Father,
thank You reminding to us
00:18:43.49\00:18:47.92
that You are God of compassion.
00:18:47.95\00:18:51.55
Thank You that Your Holy Spirit
00:18:51.58\00:18:55.87
makes clear to my heart
00:18:55.90\00:18:57.39
that I'm indeed a leper
in need of Your healing.
00:18:57.42\00:19:01.43
Amen. Amen.
00:19:01.46\00:19:03.62
Thank you, Lord, for
Your promise to heal me
00:19:03.65\00:19:06.71
from all that sin has done
00:19:06.74\00:19:09.42
and now I can go
in my life rejoicing
00:19:09.45\00:19:13.33
in having
relationship with You everyday.
00:19:13.36\00:19:17.05
It's a faith
statement. Praise God.
00:19:17.08\00:19:19.13
Amen.
00:19:19.16\00:19:20.28
Anyone else responding by faith?
00:19:20.31\00:19:22.15
Over here please, yes.
00:19:22.18\00:19:23.75
Heavenly
Father, I confess to You
00:19:28.83\00:19:32.90
my fearful
spirit and God I believe
00:19:32.93\00:19:37.53
that You have compassion on me.
00:19:37.56\00:19:39.78
You know how I struggled
with this my whole life.
00:19:39.81\00:19:43.35
I confess to you
Father, the health issues
00:19:43.38\00:19:46.42
that I deal with my whole life.
00:19:46.45\00:19:48.36
I know You can heal me.
00:19:48.39\00:19:50.21
God, you are gonna
be glorified in my life,
00:19:50.24\00:19:53.37
I want to be fit vessel for You,
00:19:53.40\00:19:55.22
I want to represent You
00:19:55.25\00:19:56.96
and I thank You
for Your compassion
00:19:56.99\00:19:59.07
in making that
happen, I'm being set free.
00:19:59.10\00:20:02.24
Amen. Beautiful statement.
00:20:02.27\00:20:04.23
Thank you very much.
00:20:04.26\00:20:05.29
God is hearing and
answering this morning.
00:20:05.32\00:20:08.14
Who else is acting on
their faith here today?
00:20:08.17\00:20:10.63
Maddy has her hand up.
00:20:10.66\00:20:11.83
Okay, thank you.
00:20:11.86\00:20:13.04
Father God, Lord Jesus...
00:20:22.76\00:20:25.79
it's overwhelming...
00:20:30.10\00:20:31.32
that You would
choose to make me clean.
00:20:34.48\00:20:36.59
Amen. Amen.
00:20:36.62\00:20:40.33
So I ask You
please to make me clean.
00:20:40.36\00:20:42.91
Cleanse me of my selfishness,
my lack of compassion,
00:20:45.34\00:20:51.33
my lack of faith in You.
00:20:51.36\00:20:54.49
And thank You for
the promise that You will
00:20:54.52\00:21:00.83
and I'm indeed
clean by Your grace.
00:21:00.86\00:21:04.66
Amen.
00:21:04.69\00:21:05.88
Beautiful things
happening here this morning.
00:21:05.91\00:21:08.29
Anybody else
moving boldly into faith?
00:21:08.32\00:21:11.36
Please over here.
00:21:11.39\00:21:12.44
Father in heaven,
thank You for touching me
00:21:19.56\00:21:26.24
and for cleansing my
condition of leprosy.
00:21:26.27\00:21:34.24
Amen.
00:21:34.27\00:21:36.13
Thank You for being
willing to approach me
00:21:36.16\00:21:38.85
and to come close to me.
00:21:38.88\00:21:42.14
God, may I open
myself to You fully
00:21:42.17\00:21:44.28
and may I welcome Your embrace.
00:21:44.31\00:21:47.10
Thank you, Lord. I
pray in Jesus name, amen.
00:21:47.13\00:21:49.81
Amen. Amen. Wow.
00:21:49.84\00:21:53.08
There's still time if
anyone else is convicted
00:21:53.11\00:21:56.66
to enter boldly into faith.
00:21:56.69\00:21:58.32
Okay, we got two
hands down the front here.
00:21:58.35\00:22:00.39
Thank you. Go ahead.
00:22:00.42\00:22:01.62
Dear Father in heaven,
00:22:05.47\00:22:08.56
I know You are
willing to heal me and able
00:22:08.59\00:22:14.38
and so right now as
You tossing Your word
00:22:14.41\00:22:17.81
that we should confess
our sins one to another
00:22:17.84\00:22:21.49
and Lord, I have
overworked and now I have pains
00:22:21.52\00:22:28.62
and just in chapter 3
You also talk about this man
00:22:28.65\00:22:34.44
that had a withered
hand I have pain in my hands
00:22:34.47\00:22:39.47
and I just ask
that You bring healing
00:22:39.50\00:22:43.97
and Lord, emotionally

00:22:44.00\00:22:51.60
dark clouds in my home

00:22:51.63\00:22:58.63
I have leprosy
of just negativity
00:22:58.66\00:23:05.29
and I pray that You
would please heal me
00:23:05.32\00:23:11.01
and my loved ones of depression

Yes. He is willing.
00:23:19.89\00:23:22.22
Yes.
00:23:22.25\00:23:23.91
You are willing. Amen.
00:23:23.94\00:23:25.55
And so come into
