Times and know of times read 10 00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:41,840 stories of times that the name of. 11 00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:44,200 Jesus was. Spoken and it kept a wreck. 12 00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:46,520 From happening Something from happening? 13 00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:48,760 Or God.

I just noticed though this 25 00:01:33,320 --> 00:01:37,600 morning and talked and Sister Kennedy still sick, so let's 26 00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:40,760 remember her. She's been going through this 27 00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:44,560 for a while. She needs our prayers, so let's 28 00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:46,640 let's just keep remembering her in prayer. 29 00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:48,520 Amen.

I'm not sure I'm going to read 32 00:01:56,320 --> 00:02:02,240 all these verses, but I may. So Naman came. 33 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:06,240 With his horses and with his Chariots and he. 34 00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:11,120 Stood at the door. Of the House of Elisha, and 35 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:14,800 Elisha sent a messenger, and to him said, Go and wash and Jordan 36 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:22,520 7 times, and thy flesh shall come again to thee, and thou 37 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:27,600 shalt be clean. But naman, everybody said. 38 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:31,760 But. Naman both wroth and went away. 39 00:02:33,640 --> 00:02:39,240 Said behold, I thought he would. Surely come out to me and stand. 40 00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:44,280 And call on the name. Of the Lord his God and strike 41 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:52,960 his hand over the place and recover the leper of course, 42 00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:54,760 then I'm. I'm just going to stop there 43 00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:56,360 because I'm going to. Be touching on these other 44 00:02:56,360 --> 00:03:00,800 verses anyway this morning, Heavenly Father, I asked you to 45 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:05,160 move today. God, I realize, Lord, that I'm 46 00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:10,040 standing here, and Lord, without you I'm nothing. 47 00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:14,400 It's through your anointing this morning that the yoke is broke. 48 00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:17,800 And Lord, this morning we're dependent on that anointing. 49 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,560 God that you have never failed. God asked. 50 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:24,040 You to move on every heart and every soul this morning bring 51 00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:25,400 deliverance. God, I pray. 52 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:29,400 Through the word of God today, Lord, and touch somebody's heart 53 00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:32,640 and somebody's life. We ask it in that name of. 54 00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,560 Jesus. Amen and Amen and you. 55 00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:56,020 Can be seated. I want to preach this morning on 56 00:03:56,020 --> 00:04:00,580 this subject. I I just this has been. 57 00:04:00,580 --> 00:04:05,600 Kind of all week long. Been dealing with me and I so 58 00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:07,080 I'm. Going to preach on muddy. 59 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:12,880 Waters, everybody say Muddy Waters, something like this. 60 00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:20,000 Muddy Waters, Waters you can't see through. 61 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:23,560 I'm going to preach on that this morning. 62 00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:26,360 Hallelujah by the. Lord's help. 63 00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:28,760 Hallelujah. I mean he's going to help me 64 00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:32,000 preach this morning. Let me have a drink this water. 65 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:46,040 I hope you didn't think I was going to drink that muddy stuff, 66 00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:50,520 man. A very familiar story this 67 00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:53,760 morning that we. Have ministered on and heard 68 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:58,040 preach many times, but this morning God got a hold of my 69 00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:01,200 heart. I don't know. 70 00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:03,640 It was this week, last week that. 71 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:07,440 Kind of began to deal on this and seem like every time I 72 00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:10,720 opened my Bible that came to this and I'd go to sleep at 73 00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:12,800 night and wake up and this was there. 74 00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:20,920 See, Jordan is mentioned in scripture 197 times, so it must 75 00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:23,000 be an important place of happenings. 76 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:27,000 Amen. Most important river of 77 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:31,160 Palestine. Jordan means the descender, 78 00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:37,400 which means it descends rapidly. Everybody said rapidly, Jordan 79 00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:44,880 is only 100 air miles long, but the full length of the river is 80 00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:49,800 over 200 miles because of all the twists and the turns and the 81 00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:56,600 miles long that it travels a man because of the all the turns 82 00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,360 that it makes. And before it empties into the 83 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:05,160 Dead Sea, it it changes banks many times so it swishes back 84 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:08,160 and forth. Believe me this morning when I 85 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:12,120 first I'd done this yesterday, but when I walked into my office 86 00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:15,600 this morning. I could see clear almost down to 87 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:20,000 here and then it looked muddy. But when I take it and shake it 88 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:24,480 up, then it becomes muddy. Well, that's kind of how Jordan 89 00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:26,400 was, if you'll just. Bear with. 90 00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:30,720 Me a while while I build a foundation, Jordan changed banks 91 00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:33,840 because of the twist and the turns and all of that. 92 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:37,680 If you can imagine, it's 100 miles air miles long, but it's 93 00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:42,280 200 miles when it has to travel the path that it travels it, 94 00:06:42,280 --> 00:06:44,520 it's going from one side to the other. 95 00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:46,800 And it, it's kind of like the Wabash River. 96 00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:49,440 It's muddy. It's, it's, it's not a clear 97 00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:51,920 river. And, and when the goes up and it 98 00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:55,720 starts back down as that comes up, it's, it's real muddy. 99 00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:58,240 If you ever, if you go down to what we've done this during 100 00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:00,760 COVID a lot. My wife and I would, we'd go 101 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,640 through McDonald's, drive through and we'd make our way to 102 00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:06,960 the river and we'd sit down there and watch the river. 103 00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:10,440 And when that water was up, it would just become so muddy. 104 00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:14,040 It was just and then you'd see it pick up all of this trash and 105 00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:17,600 stuff along the side of it and it, it's going down the river 106 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:20,080 with it. We'd, we'd see, you know, trees 107 00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:23,560 that look, that was longer than this platform and going down 108 00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:27,120 through there and then and it, it's, it's got to be muddy. 109 00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:29,520 It's got trash in it. It's changing banks. 110 00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:34,520 So, so this is Jordan a man. Think about that little bit. 111 00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:39,880 So if if I could say it like this, it has 2 chief 112 00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:53,400 tributaries, the Armak and Jabak history says because it meanders 113 00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:55,560 in contorted. Loops. 114 00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:58,840 And it's constantly shifting its banks. 115 00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:05,560 It is dirty brown color or muddy, can we say, and not at 116 00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:08,920 all a beautiful river. It's not one that you can see 117 00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:10,800 the bottom. It's not clear. 118 00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:14,080 You, you may have fish swimming in there, but you probably 119 00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:18,360 wouldn't see them, Amen. And and if it's, you know, hey, 120 00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:20,960 you know, catfish are down the mud anyway half the time. 121 00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:22,720 So here we go. Amen. 122 00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:29,880 I read in history in 1928 that there was a great hydroelectric 123 00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:32,880 plant constructed there in the lower part of the river. 124 00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:35,679 And why not, brother Tag? Just think about that. 125 00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:37,880 That's a good place to put it, Amen. 126 00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:42,080 The water's moving all the time. It's, it's, it's, it's, it did 127 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:44,720 make a good place for a hydroelectric plant. 128 00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:48,240 Such a great plant to do so. Amen. 129 00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:51,840 No wonder people wanted to be baptized in Jordan. 130 00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:55,120 I began to think about this. You look through the Bible and 131 00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:58,640 like a lot of your baptisms were in the Jordan River. 132 00:08:58,680 --> 00:09:01,080 Amen. They're there to think about it 133 00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:04,440 a little bit. It, it is a descender. 134 00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:08,080 It's one that's downslope. And we'll get into that a little 135 00:09:08,080 --> 00:09:11,600 bit later. It's it's, it descends some 3000 136 00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:14,640 feet before emptying into the Dead Sea. 137 00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:19,280 It's it, it goes down. So in fact, it runs below the 138 00:09:19,280 --> 00:09:23,200 level of the ocean throughout the greater part of its course. 139 00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:27,720 And so why not have a electrical plant down there? 140 00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:31,160 Amen. And, and it's, there are the, 141 00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:34,280 the Joe of people that baptized in Jordan. 142 00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:36,760 They know one thing that their sins are going to be carried 143 00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:41,720 away pretty quick, man. So why not be baptized Their 144 00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:46,560 their sins are carried downstream fast and and buried 145 00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:49,000 in the mud. Everybody said mud. 146 00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:52,000 Hey man, good place to bury the sins. 147 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:55,080 I don't know about you, but I want them things buried. 148 00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:57,560 I want nobody to be able to see my sins. 149 00:09:57,560 --> 00:10:01,720 So, so and and so it's a good place to be baptized. 150 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:05,880 Jordan was certainly a place of baptisms. 151 00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:10,040 If we go through the Bible, you find many times it was a place 152 00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:15,200 of baptisms. John the Baptist baptized, Amen. 153 00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:19,520 John did Mark 1/4 and five. John did baptize in the 154 00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:22,880 wilderness and preach the baptism of repentance for the 155 00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:26,680 revision of sins. And there went out unto him all 156 00:10:26,680 --> 00:10:29,440 the land. Now listen, this all the land of 157 00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:33,880 Judea and they of Jerusalem, and we're all, and we're all 158 00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:39,120 baptized of him in the river of Jordan, confessing their sins. 159 00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:43,000 So that tells us if most of the people that John the Baptist 160 00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:46,240 baptized were baptized in Jordan, then there was a lot of 161 00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:49,760 people baptized in Jordan. Amen. 162 00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:52,720 And I began to think of of Naaman's gripes. 163 00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:55,600 He he said, Hey, there's, there's better rivers. 164 00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:58,520 You know, we got better rivers than than his rule. 165 00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:01,600 I can think of two real quick. He said, and and they're a lot 166 00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:02,920 cleaner. Why would I want to? 167 00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:06,840 He's he's he's coming against what the man of God said. 168 00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:10,320 Remember, though, he's a leper. That's what's wrong with him. 169 00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:15,720 He's a leper. He was unclean, if you please. 170 00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:19,760 Amen. And he he didn't, he didn't want 171 00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:22,240 to go and be baptized or he. Didn't want to go and. 172 00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:24,520 And dip in Jordan. Seven times. 173 00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:28,960 I mean, hey. You want to you want to dip 7 174 00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:31,720 times in Jordan? Hey come on, that's a muddy 175 00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:34,200 river. Hey the we got clean ones in our 176 00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:35,960 country. Why would I want to be? 177 00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:38,640 Baptized in Jordan. When I've got cleaner rivers, 178 00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:40,320 don't that sound like just some of us? 179 00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:42,520 But I'm going to tell you something. 180 00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:45,520 I was baptized in the Wall Bash River and come up clean. 181 00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:51,120 Yeah, come on now, I know. Today we got baptistries and 182 00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:54,320 clean water and warm water.

Amen. 200 00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:48,200 What a great thing it is when you start thinking back about 201 00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:51,800 all the people of old that were what part of this church who was 202 00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:53,280 baptized. In that river. 203 00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:55,240 Amen. What a great thing. 204 00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:57,560 We didn't know what it was. To have baptistries. 205 00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:00,600 We went to the river and if it was cold, you know, broke the 206 00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:02,280 ice. And you was baptized. 207 00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:06,040 You know, just just because you needed to be baptized, 208 00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:10,160 Hallelujah.

This is only a soul. 211 00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:19,320 You've got a reference of where it came from. 212 00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:24,720 One through 7. Elijah made the axe head swim at 213 00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:28,280 the Jordan River. So miracles took place at the 214 00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:30,920 river of Jordan. They're still think about it. 215 00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:34,840 All the things that have taken place there, Amen. 216 00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:37,720 Hallelujah. And then I began to think of the 217 00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:41,960 drop, the drop back of this story, the backdrop of it. 218 00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:45,080 Amen. And I, I want to read the second 219 00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:51,400 Kings chapter #5 and started verse #1 and tell you just just 220 00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:53,120 give you a little background here. 221 00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:58,320 Now Naman, the captain of the host of the king of Syria, was a 222 00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:03,400 great man with his master, and he was honorable because by him 223 00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:06,080 the Lord had given deliverance unto Syria. 224 00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:11,960 He was also a mighty man of valor, but he was a leper. 225 00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:17,000 And the Syrians had gone out of by companies and had brought 226 00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:20,240 away captive out of the land of Israel, little maid. 227 00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:25,840 And she waited on Naaman's wife, and she said it to her mistress. 228 00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:29,320 Would God, my Lord, were with the Prophet? 229 00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:31,880 That is in Samaria. For he would recover. 230 00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:40,400 Him of his leprosy. Amen name. 231 00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:44,920 It had everything going for him. But he was a leper. 232 00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:47,200 He was. He was a leper. 233 00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:51,440 He was unclean. Can I say he was a leper? 234 00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:56,080 Amen. And Naman, if we look at the 235 00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:58,760 scripture, Naman was looking forward. 236 00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:01,960 To this. I, I don't think he could wait 237 00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:05,320 to get there. He, he got a, he got a letter 238 00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:08,360 from the king to take to the king of Israel. 239 00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:12,120 And when it got to the king of Israel, he opened up and read it 240 00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:15,440 and said, when this letter reaches you, I'm saying, let me 241 00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:19,760 paraphrase, but tell him the story that when you get there 242 00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:24,680 and the king opens this letter, Amen, then you'll know what it's 243 00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:27,520 all about. That the guy, I want him. 244 00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:31,600 I want this great captain of my army to be cleansed of this 245 00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:35,120 leprosy forevermore. I don't want him to be a leprous 246 00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:37,440 man. I I think a lot of him and he's 247 00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:40,720 done a lot for our country. He's fought battles and won 248 00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:44,400 battles and and because of that, I want him to be honored. 249 00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:48,560 So here he is. So I can almost see name and 250 00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:51,400 he's looking forward because he's he's not going to send 251 00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:54,520 somebody else. He's going down to himself and 252 00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:58,440 he's going to stand before Elisha and he's he's going to 253 00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:01,920 he's he's thinking there's going to be a great ceremony. 254 00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:05,120 He'll, he'll come out sure because of who I am. 255 00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:07,520 Come on.

So here he is. 271 00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:52,840 He thinks this is going to be a great day. 272 00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:56,000 Amen.

Yeah, the water usually goes 370 00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:48,720 downhill, but you could be baptized in the pond. 371 00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:50,920 But I'm going to tell you it'll settle to the bottom. 372 00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:53,240 It becomes dirt in the bottom.

Our sins were buried in the 375 00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:02,040 depths of the sea. And if you look, and if you want 376 00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:04,480 to look that word up, depth, it means the mud. 377 00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:06,680 It goes in the mud.

All of that, everything that 386 00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:43,520 you've done wrong, that residue ends up in the depths, That 387 00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:47,280 residue ends up in the water. You don't carry them out or 388 00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:50,720 you're baptized for the remission or the washing away of 389 00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:53,200 your sins. And when you get down, put down 390 00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:57,000 in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, the sins stay there. 391 00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:01,080 They don't come up with you. You don't go down a dry center, 392 00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:04,320 come up a wet one.

But Jesus don't remind you of 400 00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:26,720 your past. He buries it. 401 00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:30,440 The depths of the sea. And all of those residue, all of 402 00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:33,680 those things that you have done, all those sins you've committed, 403 00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:36,720 God said I'm burying them where nobody can see them. 404 00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:39,120 Come on, I'm going to put them down in the mud. 405 00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:41,800 I'm going to put them down.

They're in the depths of the 410 00:24:54,120 --> 00:24:55,960 sea, not to be brought. Up again. 411 00:24:55,960 --> 00:25:02,920 Hallelujah.

That naman was so much. 545 00:33:28,650 --> 00:33:31,850 I'm clean, I'm clean. I'm. 546 00:33:31,850 --> 00:33:36,600 Clean every time he saw, every time there's there's something 547 00:33:36,600 --> 00:33:39,480 happening in the process. There was something that pushed 548 00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:43,640 him to take the next dip, and he found out that dirty water could 549 00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:47,240 make him clean. If I could just somehow get it 550 00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:52,560 across to somebody, that dirty water can make you clean because 551 00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:55,120 it's the residue that's at the bottom. 552 00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:58,160 You know, it settles after a while. 553 00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:00,240 I better leave that alone. Because I want. 554 00:34:00,240 --> 00:34:07,080 Yeah, I want it to be before I get up, but it won't be this 555 00:34:07,080 --> 00:34:07,840 morning. It was. 556 00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:12,320 That much is brown in the bottom, and the rest of it 557 00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:15,040 looked clear. You know how it is. 558 00:34:16,280 --> 00:34:17,639 And the devil, you know what he does. 559 00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:24,440 He comes and tries to stir it up so you can't see anymore what 560 00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:25,880 he's done. The Lord's already. 561 00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:28,920 Done the work. He's already taken care of your 562 00:34:28,920 --> 00:34:31,960 sins. He's put the residue on the 563 00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:34,639 bottom. Thank God that. 564 00:34:34,639 --> 00:34:37,560 Jesus makes them run into the Dead Sea. 565 00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:40,480 Come on, Jesus. Puts them in the Dead Sea. 566 00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:41,840 They're dead when he gets hold of them. 567 00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:45,120 There's there's not. Sin there anymore. 568 00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:46,719 It's gone. He's forgot what you. 569 00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:51,000 He's forgot all about your past. It's gone, never to be brought. 570 00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:53,159 Up the devil. Can't go to the bottom of the 571 00:34:53,159 --> 00:34:55,800 sea. Oh, yeah. 572 00:34:55,840 --> 00:34:57,520 Come on. Thank you. 573 00:34:57,520 --> 00:34:58,880 Jesus. Hallelujah. 574 00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:01,160 Oh God. Oh God. 575 00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:04,760 Thank you, Jesus. Hallelujah. 576 00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:12,280 He went down. And dipped himself 7 times. 577 00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:16,440 In Jordan, according to the. Saying of the man of God, and 578 00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:20,400 his flesh came again unto the flesh of a little child, and he 579 00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:23,880 was clean for the first time in his life. 580 00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:31,800 For the first time in Naaman's life, he took orders from a 581 00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:33,840 servant. You know what? 582 00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:36,840 If we're ever going to be great, we got to be a servant. 583 00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:41,960 Come on. A minister is a servant, so it 584 00:35:41,960 --> 00:35:44,080 makes us all ministers. You're a minister too. 585 00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:48,680 And we'll never get a blessing until we learn to be a servant. 586 00:35:50,080 --> 00:35:52,760 Come on. We'll, we'll never we'll. 587 00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:59,840 Never be exalted if we're expecting something, but it's 588 00:35:59,840 --> 00:36:05,440 when we say, Lord, I'm yours, Hallelujah. 589 00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:12,800 Take me Lord and use me as you please, Hallelujah. 590 00:36:14,040 --> 00:36:20,200 Allow you Lord, to take my life into your hands and do what you 591 00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:24,000 want to do Thank you Jesus, Hallelujah. 592 00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:34,200 Oh glory, the residue is in the dirt, dirty water, it's amazing 593 00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:40,440 the muddy water that wash clean name it and made him clean. 594 00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:44,520 I remember on the day of Pentecost and then Peter said to 595 00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:47,920 them, repent, be baptized everyone of you in the name of 596 00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:50,280 Jesus Christ for the remission of sins. 597 00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:53,360 You shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. 598 00:36:54,040 --> 00:37:00,400 Hallelujah, glory, Jesus, your sins are left in the water, sent 599 00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:07,320 downstream, can I say washed away in Micah 719. 600 00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:10,160 He turned again. He will. 601 00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:14,360 Have compassion upon us. He will subdue our iniquities. 602 00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:17,880 Thou will cast all their sins in the. 603 00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:23,320 Depths of the sea. The depths there comes from a 604 00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:26,920 Hebrew word. Which means bottom or place of 605 00:37:26,920 --> 00:37:30,120 mud I. Began to think you know. 606 00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:37,000 Ladies dishes, you know, and most of you and I have got 607 00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:41,960 dishwasher nowadays, but we had five of them in our house, so we 608 00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:47,840 had no need for one. You know it. 609 00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:51,640 Yeah. The dishes are washed and the 610 00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:57,120 residue stays in the water. It reminds us that they were 611 00:37:57,120 --> 00:38:01,040 dirty because it's it's cloudy water, it's dirty. 612 00:38:01,040 --> 00:38:05,440 Water stains sometimes stays even. 613 00:38:05,720 --> 00:38:12,720 Though the dish is clean, I said stains stay sometimes even 614 00:38:12,720 --> 00:38:18,120 though the dish is clean. I want to tell you sometime. 615 00:38:18,560 --> 00:38:23,000 There are stains. That are left in our life that 616 00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:26,240 reminds us of where we came from many times. 617 00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:30,400 Some of those marks. We can never get rid of. 618 00:38:31,560 --> 00:38:34,480 We just outlive them. Come on. 619 00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:37,600 Come on. We've become a prisoner to 620 00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:42,600 Christ and his Kingdom, and there may be a stain there. 621 00:38:43,240 --> 00:38:46,880 But it only proves what we used to be, not what we are. 622 00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:50,600 But the residue of that? Mark is gone. 623 00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:55,040 What caused it is gone. I'm here to tell somebody that 624 00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:57,400 God loves you. I don't care what part of life 625 00:38:57,400 --> 00:38:59,000 you are in or what you have done. 626 00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:01,760 I'm going to tell you. It may leave a mark. 627 00:39:01,760 --> 00:39:04,280 On you. But I'm telling your sins can be 628 00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:07,280 washed away. Come on, they can be. 629 00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:09,480 Washed away. That they can be washed. 630 00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:11,480 Away in the muddy water and you'll be. 631 00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:14,720 Clean forever and ever. Hallelujah. 632 00:39:15,640 --> 00:39:18,760 Hallelujah. I began to think about the 633 00:39:18,760 --> 00:39:23,080 cloudy water. I don't want to gross you out, 634 00:39:23,080 --> 00:39:27,440 but I want to. I want to let you know I 635 00:39:27,440 --> 00:39:32,200 remember those days at home. See I remember when those boys 636 00:39:32,200 --> 00:39:37,440 was growing up. I remember we live in a 2 637 00:39:37,440 --> 00:39:40,080 bedroom house. All three boys slept 1 bed. 638 00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:47,720 And you know why? Because there was a wood stove, 639 00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:51,280 coal stove, either 1. You could burn either one. 640 00:39:52,720 --> 00:39:57,800 I was in the front room of that house and we pile blank blankets 641 00:39:57,800 --> 00:39:59,920 on to keep warm. Well, if there was three of us 642 00:39:59,920 --> 00:40:07,320 in there, it was warmer. You thank to God for brothers 643 00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:12,360 then. And I remember that. 644 00:40:13,400 --> 00:40:19,640 There wasn't a bathroom inside. We had to travel from here to 645 00:40:19,640 --> 00:40:26,480 the road to go to the bathroom. Come on, I know outhouse nobody 646 00:40:26,480 --> 00:40:29,680 ever wants to hear that. Oh my goodness, that's gross. 647 00:40:33,120 --> 00:40:38,560 Hey. First Church had them when I was 648 00:40:38,560 --> 00:40:39,600 a boy. They had they. 649 00:40:39,600 --> 00:40:43,120 Had them out behind the church that buddy. 650 00:40:43,120 --> 00:40:49,720 Seats in them if I. Remember them? 651 00:40:56,140 --> 00:40:58,540 You know why that was? Because you know if you and your 652 00:40:58,540 --> 00:41:00,780 brother both had to go at the same time, you can sit side to 653 00:41:00,780 --> 00:41:04,700 side. My wife's grossing out. 654 00:41:04,700 --> 00:41:07,620 Y'all help her if I'm just talking about old times. 655 00:41:07,820 --> 00:41:12,660 This is real Life OK? If I begin to think about it, 656 00:41:12,660 --> 00:41:18,080 Paula.

So guess what? 661 00:41:33,240 --> 00:41:36,320 Mama would put water in that tub and she put it. 662 00:41:36,320 --> 00:41:40,680 Outside, in the sun, all. Day and they warm up you wanted 663 00:41:40,680 --> 00:41:47,040 to be #1 first in because there's you know so many going 664 00:41:47,040 --> 00:41:53,160 to take a bath and not one water that's boys mainly yeah so 665 00:41:53,480 --> 00:41:57,280 whenever.

It's all right. 668 00:42:05,160 --> 00:42:06,840 Probably happier than we are now. 669 00:42:08,440 --> 00:42:10,560 The second one got in left. That residue. 670 00:42:10,560 --> 00:42:13,880 So there's two residue in there now, poor third one. 671 00:42:15,600 --> 00:42:18,240 Come on, Church, come on, I'm telling you. 672 00:42:18,720 --> 00:42:22,720 Come on, you. You don't understand that your 673 00:42:22,720 --> 00:42:24,800 sins were. Probably dirtier than that. 674 00:42:25,880 --> 00:42:29,840 How much residue was in?
