Power to be a Neighbour (Love your Neighbour)

Call Scott. and his all is not following God at all, but he's in some area which is the cultural head it's like saying, you know, Go to Las Vegas. Prophetess. Okay, I don't feel know what. Las Vegas means. Okay? You like to. Holy So, he goes that. And he's waiting to meet Elijah. When investing passages going to meet Elijah? And he says to the attendo hotel. Elijah

Elijah does this most funniest things? He just he doesn't come to me. Did you just send a word? What a Layman go. Deep yourself in the Jordan River and you'll be healed. Oh my God. Nieman lost it even, dude. What are you doing? Come out to meet me. Do you know who I am? I am naming. the mighty one, the Valiant one, who is the, who who takes loans loan me and then say No, no jazz. Neiman Marcus really Matt.

I'm sure you at dad in this place. Not know if y'all would have got mad because you all are so so come you don't like me and hyperactive but I was thinking about it Neiman.

Hilux petitions. He expected. And I'm coming for my healing. I'm coming with everything gifts, and everything else, and I shall would come and treat me no different way and do this whole medical thing in such a fancy way. But he didn't do it. Why did Elijah not do it? Couple of things. Felicia. Was helping name and understand the root problem. Nice. I didn't bother about the leprosy. Leprosy was not the issue that was a root problem, which naming was had to be dealt with, and that was Pride. Mama can have it. I'm just sitting here claiming that name and had this issue that you know, and it's like this sometimes. When we go to God. Yeah, but expectacion Lord. I Need This Feeling by. I need it like this. Okay. None of y'all. Pray for healing. Okay, so y'all don't know what I'm talkin. Okay, I'll give you a much more easier example.

Thought I liked this guy. Not me. I'm just saying somebody

Bcbsok somebody. Sing the song, Let's Take a teenager.

Teenager. That is agree with me, right? Okay.

I like this girl, Lord, she should be like this like this and 10, different characteristics that I need. Your will lord always. But these are the things that I need. and then, You bring your fasting about it. Every Tuesday of ring. Every Friday. That's a prayer request. A secret one. Do you don't get all these real prayer request. Pray for me to get closer to God, pray that I read the word of God. Those are the good ones. That's what, usually, tell people. If you have a time of prayer, request comes in there and that you would have one set of list. I'm sure you didn't have I had, I had a lot of released regarding got to deal with me on that. We give them be given the list and swiss a lot, this is what I exactly need. I'm sure God doesn't know how what we need, right? You need help. And they're trying to help him to understand what a real needs. Are you sore? help for, you know, but if God sends another person, you're just like me a reef from me. This is not God's will.

The number one issue named and had was Pride.

I give you another example.

You have a shoulder pain? Night. And when you standing and Sharon Church spirit of God says, Worship me. Lift your hands.

The first thing that you are minded, so I don't have to lift my hands and worshipping God in my heart. I don't have to lift my hands, I do not open up my mouth. My heart is worshiping the Lord 24 by 7, anyway. I don't have to do this. You think God's instructions are very, very simple. If you would have obeyed and raise your hands, you would have got your miracle. I didn't want to want it up the way. God prescribes. It didn't go to meet Neiman. That is one Pride. Second things. Second, second point was Elijah, wanted name in to know that God's power works on his systems, not on Naamans expectations. You can expect anything that you want but it's not going to work because you expected it works. Because on his terms, his power works on his daughter's name into clearly understand few things. And that is this, you cannot transaction. You know, you can transact. Healing gospel is not for sale. You can bring all your gifts. You can get $1000000. It's not going to give you his follow. You know why? Because it's not proceed.

I know as little about any, I'm going to say it anyway. You know, we have revealed in the age where we have evangelist on TV saying send your 10 lb, send you a $10 and get your healing. That's something. I'd your friend, dear friends of mine in the Catholic. What did it all wrong back, if you're buying forgiveness, I don't know if you know, but in the Dark Ages Catholic news to, you know, right, outskirts and say, okay, your forgiveness, this much 10 bags of gold coins as your forgiveness. Same thing, there's nothing new Under the Sun but God's power is not based on your transaction. Play. She also wanted him to know that. God's grace cannot be purchased.

It comes because of a relationship. And also one thing Elijah wanted to make it very clear. It is not the messenger. Elijah came before Neiman and did all this fancy stuff and what is hand roll? And then you told the 12 names of God and all of that, this guy Elijah, let me build a statue of him and keep it at home and start praying over. The humans are very good. I will make us, that is why we have the show call. American Idol. Indian Idol.

is able to do things, and it's not about people, he uses people This instruction that was given to Naaman. The name and it was humiliating, he got so mad and he saying, Jordan. XYZ River. Do you want me to go deep in that? I have better Rivers. I thought it was from that. I am. I have you indeed. He says, the name of Duty was about Anna and her floor. And if you don't start speaking, the words in the Bible, you'll automatically.

The most dirtiest River. Money all the time. Maddie is Jordan, and I have some imaginative. I have some imaginative pass, but I think Jordan is amazing River, you know why? Because you just got baptized and sometimes you are super, super, super

If you wait for that. I don't think you'll get baptized in heaven directly then, so don't do. Don't wait for that letter. You find whichever opportunity to get baptized is dumped into it.

Elijah was testing. Neiman. He wants to get here, but is he going to be a God's work or no? Because end of the day, regardless of whether your name and or whether you're available, more thing, whoever you are, neither Jew or a non-jew God's looking for. One thing. Are you obeying? What I see side am I going to be any super pissed? I'm not going to be any walk salt. Like have you seen these Small kids when you're when you don't buy them, something you do you take them to the supermarket and they see all this chocolate and see dear. And what does the child does the Chell? Say, yes, Mommy. Stomp your foot and see Angry get mad, we all laughing at it but you know what, we've all done this.

Garden. Answer me. I'm not going to play. Garden. Answer me for this. I'm not going to talk to you about. I'm not talking about you, I'm talking about me, I've done this, I've done this. You know many many times many times Garden come through for this or he's put this difficulty in my life. I'm so upset with God. Yeah, you can get up to the door.

True belief in God. Manifests itself in full obedience to the word of God. I'll repeat that again. True belief in God. Manifest itself in full obedience to the word of God and God was man of logic and reason. So when his friends who came along with him, is Chris Evans, actually who came along with him said Father of mustard, you know, if the prophet would have to go take a dip in that River, wouldn't you a bit or if you have told you to do something else? Wouldn't, you know, then? Why not give it a try? Why not give it a try? You know what? Sometimes God, God waits for you to get the point of desperation.

That's like the antidote for pride. Hear it? he'll wait till you come out to a place where you're desperate because when you're desperate, You're probably going to take the back seat and you will want to try anything. That's possible to get you out of that situation.

This guy is good, and even is good because he listened. He listened to his fears, are his servants and said, okay, fine, thank God for good friends. You know some of y'all have good friends in your life. Thank God. There aren't many so hold them. Close a man will make you deaf and blind to God. Just like I was driving, was to come to the appointment. Know the moment. Name and decided. I'm going to do it even if it be it's all dirty River. I'm still going to do it. The moment he started walking. His healing process begin. We always think that the moment he dipped in the river, at the end of the seventh time is when he got here, no. Okay, is my personal thing is my bus, not understanding offered, but I believe this, the moment you obeyed his healing started. You may be sitting here with so many issues. The sudden recurring issues with certain issues that you don't know how to deal with.

if you obey noticed, is this,

God does not complicated things. He's a very simple.

You who makes it complicated?

You can tell us. Yes, we but we are inspired by somebody else and I don't recall him. The Diablos sounds fancy. That's why

religion makes it complicated. I'll give you an example and I was starring in a Catholic School. Everybody thought I was a Catholic, even though I kept shouting at the top of my lungs, that I'm a Protestant, you know, but in, in Catholic, spent a lot of friends of Lord, of Catholic friends, when when they need a resolution for an issue. Tell Sydney's standard prescription Van Halen, Hail Marys 20, how Father, Day and Night Hutchinson today.

Any other religion, you know, you go climb this mountain barefoot. Take take baths everyday in the cold water. And go to the high mountain Barefoot and fast for 3 days. You know, surprisingly we would all love to do it. We would all love to do it. because, you know, we like to purchase America. You don't like something free. We devalue it. God gives it free not because it's cheap because you can never purchase it. You don't have the currency, all the money in the world cannot purchase him. I cannot even a drop of his anointing. He gives it free because he has his monthly towards you. His merciful towards you.

It can be a simple things of this.

You have an issue.

But when you come Sunday about selling, okay, open up your mouth and praise God. I ain't doing that Lord. I can do this but I'm in college, I can Shout in the party is going on. I can scream my lungs out that the next day I I can barely speak. Find George. I'm going to be like this Lord. Why? Because my grandfather was like this. All because I come from the church, which is of Chosen and the Frozen

That's pride and stubbornness. And that's exactly what Israel is doing. They think they knew God very well. They treated God as your personal property. A guarded, all the healing map of this realize that's why Jesus quoting the scripture that anybody in this room. He hears people in Samaria because you know what, they will be a god. We can sit your chair tonight, sermon and 20, obedience, and be still stuck in the same old problem, but as people other side of the world who are going through an enormous issues, believe God, obey, God. And walking his miracles. You see the choices with us? Are you going to be the simple things that God asks you or y'all are you going to complicated? And then think it's God. Does the this I will do it. Believe me on no place to bargain with God.

Okay, can I go a little deeper? Is it's too heavy with me. Are you with me a man? Thank you, Lord. That's an indication. You know, I was curious as to why seven times I'm sure he would have saved himself in the river and you would have got healed. It's not like God's power books and some sort of method of 7, * 7, Is the sun is the number of divine Perfection. Somebody said that, thank you. I think it was you don't look at thank you. It's the number of the Divine Perfection but I just wanted to go deeper, you know, what does it actually mean? Because anywhere in the scripture you see, God loves to hide little nuggets. Do you want the little nugget today? A chicken nugget battle. You'll get later.

when Naaman walked into the river, You think about it? Put yourself in Neiman's shoes. I did for the first time. Check my leprosy. Not healed. Second time. I'm full-time 5th. And now I'm like this ain't working, bro, and seven-time. His skin was brand-new like the skin of a new baby cream in the world can give you that. What's the name? Some of the creams Olay Olay or I don't know. That's not my division. Anybody can give you that. It's the same with us.

We stand in worship. And then we raise our hands and then you say, no, it's not working. Try again. Try again, try again and you will see God working because when he says something he will do it. Okay, let's go to Y 7 * right when a person. Is infected with Leprosy. That is a purification process has had a lot of customs and traditions to follow, right? So in the Leviticus book, if you go to the Leviticus, you will see

When they are healed, they need to take two birds birds.

Why does water or fresh water in a clay pot? The second is dipped in the blood along with say the word scarlet yarn and if you want to slaughter. The one is dipped in the blood of this word along with said, the word scarlet yarn hippos and the blood is sprinkle seven times on the hill person and the light bird is released into the open field symbolizing freedom and cleansing. this was mind-blowing for me, because

God is putting a small nugget even in the healing of Naaman. If I took a look at the say the word, it symbolizes The Cross by. Look at the Scarlet yarn, it symbolizes the blood. If I look at the hippos, it applies it. It is the application of faith in Christ, sacrifice the two birds on his death, on his resurrection. You are set free. That's complete Freedom. You don't need mine was not just healed. Office leprosy. He was restored, 360-degree in such a way of the flesh, but what happened to Naaman was, you know what name into now, I know that is no other God, but the god of Israel. That is what God wants. He wants you to know the healing is not the the whole purpose to Healing is for you to know who really the Lord is today. I want you to I want to ask you this. What is God asking you to do? Is he asking you to get baptized, is he asking you to connect with any of the teams is? He asking you to be more faithful in prayer? Is he asking you to be more faithful in your giving? Or is he asking you come to me and accept that I am your lord. What is stopping? You ask yourself this question. Don't leave this place without answering that question because the Lord is on asking you that question today. Before we close, I just want to read one was that is 1st, Samuel 15-22. But Samuel replied does the Lord Delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices as much as in obeying the Lord. Kobe is better than sacrifice and to heed is better than the facts of ram. Amen, that's great. Lord. Holy Spirit. I thank you, Lord. The movie in our hearts slowed. I pray Lord that you will give us the grace.

Answer your question, Lord. Help us clearly know what you're asking us to do, Lord, and give us the strength to do it. Lord. I pray, Lord that you will move our hearts and Minds from indecision Lord to firm decisions. Lord, I pray Lord, that commitments will be made today morning. Lord. That broken Alters will be repaired lord, it's hard to be returned to you Lord.

That's Souls will be one today, Lord. Every person listening to this voice Lord, I pray that your spirit will move upon the Lord. Speak to the Lord. Don't remain silent. Speak to him. if you don't know who this lot is cry out and say, Lord, I want to know you I really want to know you. I want to know you as my Lord and my savior.

Thank you, holy spirit because you are able. Thank you. Lord because you knew very are and you know the questions that you are asked Is Dion says that we seek load. I thank you Lord because you're able. I thank you because you love us, immensely Lord. Thank you because you've heard and answered our prayers Lord in Jesus mighty name. We pray.

Thanks Cherian. Play story of.
