admired him how many of you know that when you read all this stuff there's always gonna be a but there's always a but it said he was a valiant soldier but he had leprosy he's the hero in the story he's the man he's the captain of the hosts everybody adored him he had it all but he had a secret naman was a leper behind closed doors we still need a God when we have our secrets we still need a Savior when we don't want no one to know we he already knows you got understand you can't lean on your own understanding you need to trust in God through all your heart and all your soul I'm talking to somebody this morning you need to know I want a God who can keep me in the dark just as well as he can keep me in the light Hillsong has a song that says he's God on the mountain and when the mountains in the way even in the shadow he's still God somebody touch your neighbor and say he's still God naman he was great and weak at the same time because naman was a leopard where do you go where do you go Deno drugstore there's no benadryl ain't nothing you could take you go to a doctor he gonna tell everybody where do you hide he realizes there's no doctor no nurse no nothing he is all alone in his struggle and he can't tell nobody cause if he does it's over if he tells anybody it's done the power the status the money the mighty man image all gone because naman was a leopard why me why do I have to be like this why do I hurt why do I have sir why is she happy anybody come to church and see people all smiley and you just want to punch him naman had only one place I tell you had to be too much the smell of rotten flesh you see leprosy is like reverse cancer see cancer it's like the inside and works its way out leprosy is on the outside and works its way in it just starts eating away at your skin it becomes a sword then it becomes a scab then you start pulling stuff off then it starts eating the flesh then it starts smelling it's literally rotting your life away itty-bitty bits at a time you can't hide it it's from the sole of your feet to the top of your head see a lot of people can hide things but the you hold on to nasty nasty is gonna come out of you all right you could try to hide it you could try to kick you could try to breath you could try to kill I'm all right I'm all right everything is good but the more you tried that the closer you are to the reality of who you really are you are dying you are messed up you are lost and you need somebody to save you man I'm preaching good today I'm just saying oh maybe because I'm hungry I want to get out of here and get some chicken the only place naman could go was home the only place he could hide was home oh no you know why look at verse number two I like this see I love the Bible because the Bible and one verse gives us an entire sermon then it twisted with verse two now you think you got everything you need hold on but there's more that was like the first commercial break right there now that we're back watch this now bands of Raiders from Arum had gone out and had taken captive a young girl from Israel she served naimans wife now let me put that in normal human being language all right this naman his soldiers they were out on patrol and they saw this little girl from Israel and they kidnapped her they took her took her from her home they brought her back and naman made that girl his wife slave so here's this girl minding her own business doing her own thing and now she's taken so now we got the hero and now we have the peasant I love the way God sees things he doesn't see it the way I do he just twists it on us but let me help you out cuz maybe you're in this room this morning maybe you're watching this and one of our churches around this beautiful country called New Zealand but maybe you're struggling maybe you don't want to be where you're at you didn't want that to happen to you you didn't ask to get sick you didn't ask for your husband to leave you didn't ask for your wife to say that you didn't ask for your kids to do that you're like this girl who's been taken from something that she didn't want to be she could have been getting water to go home and cook dinner she could have been coming home from school she could be taking care of her mom and dad all of a sudden these men from nowhere just snatch her up and put her words she doesn't want to be it could happen at any moment in anybody's life if you're happy today hold on next week's coming if you're good today hold on next week's gonna get you to but he's God on the mountain in in the valley he's God in the shadow in the sunlight I didn't sing it you did do you know what you sang this morning you said not for a minute was I'd forsaken now I'm a little excited because that quote was in my notes and I wrote this two weeks ago y'all won't get it do you y'all singing a song on the very morning that I have a quote in my sermon which tells me I don't know who you are where you at but this is straight up for you cuz you need to understand he's there hey listen to me before you cast out what you're going through before you rebuke or toss aside what's happening to you you need to understand God allowed this to happen to you and if he allowed it to happen to you he's in it with you he letting you walk alone you may think you're by yourself but you're not alone and if he's able to walk through it with you he's able to get you on the other side somebody touch your neighbor and say he's gonna get you through this touch the other neighbors say he's gonna get you through man that's good verse three she this is the little slave girl she said to her mistress this is Nieman's wife she said if only my master would see the Prophet who is in Samaria he would cure him of his leprosy who why would she do that why would you care about somebody who took you from your home he was the cause of all her nasty he was the reason she was mussed he was so if she had to put one face to all that hurt all the pain it was him and now she if it was me I'd sit in the corner and watch that sucker die serves him right you shouldn't be taking people from them this is what you get thank you God come on yeah go ahead and laugh like you don't think that about somebody who's still alive because they raped you listen to me today I don't preach fluff I preach real I'm not talking about somebody who puts something on Instagram about you who cares what people put on Instagram about you that's why there's a delete button what is wrong with you people like they matter people who say stuff about you look at their hands have them pull up their shirt and look at their side if you don't see no holes if you don't see no spare room then you don't need to worry about what they saying about you quit letting the world dictate your emotion let God dictate who you were that's who this girl is that's what she did she's just a maid are you sure about that that's why Neiman let her see his flesh been eating she don't matter she's a slave she's no home she's made kidnap she's alone she don't matter but listen to me this morning no matter where you at listen to me right now that little maid had more power than the hero could ever have man I don't know if you're getting this today but I got to preach it like somebody life depends on it he had power naman had power because of what he did she had power because of who she knew who do you know Sunday morning who do you know week before the Queen's birthday who do you know I never celebrated that before I can't wait this is my first queen birthday I'm so excited I'm so excited that was mine okay when there you go I need a party I better stop this is not good I love it who do you know this morning touch your neighbor right now say who you know touch the other neighbor say hey who do you know hey it's who you know in the middle of the herd it's who you know in the middle of the darkness is who you know and the middle of chemotherapy is who you know the even nurses are like why he's smiling what's wrong with this I don't get this I don't understand it's who he knew even in death that's who you know it better be the imagined really important she didn't have to do what she did she could have been mad because he took her away did you know God let name and take the very one who would be the answer to his problem some of you are in the middle of something and your take away I don't understand why why did God leave me what if he didn't leave you what if he's using you that's what our goal is to be used by God to be his instrument on this planet Earth but sometimes to be used by God it's gotta you gotta have a sleepless night or two okay to be used by God sometimes you gotta have pain you gotta smile through it all you got to get up when you don't want to get up you got to move when you don't want to move you got to look and say certain things that you wish you didn't have to say you have to do that watch this verse number four naman went to his master and told him what the girl from Israel said by all means go the king of em replied I will send a letter to the king of Israel so naman left taking with him ten talents of silver six thousand shekels six goat ten sets of clothing he took Lester hey can I just explain some you don't need to take nothing he's got everything you don't need to provide see he thought I have to have this in the case I have to barter in case I have to buy my my healing mic I got a buy I got to earn the right of this prophet dude God had already put all that in motion when he took that little girl he saw the leprosy before the leprosy began to grow he saw your pain before your pain even came to you and if he saw it before it came then he has the answer before you see it so you need to live like it's already yours oh I want to I know I know some of y'all oh this is name it claim it no it's not do you know what it is it's a boy whose mom was a prostitute and slept with a man for $20 to get food for his brother and sisters who gave him away because she said he was a mistake and he should have never been born it's that boy in and up in the home of a teacher whose teacher and husband told him about Jesus who grew up and became what they say in CNN news the number one communicator to young people on the planet called we call earth it's called God they having a plan before I was even born taking my nasty turning it around and beating it with the devil hey listen to me if you're sad about what happened to you then you need to give your life to God you need to give it to him and let him raise you up and take what the devil did to you and beat him with it every day you can take your sorrow and he'll turn it into joy he'll take your tragedy and turn it into triumph somebody needs to look at somebody and say it's gonna be alright so y'all are you ready for me somebody in another campus is do y'all go ahead and keep shopping Oakland they still sleep so I must speak to the camera for the rest of this sermon I don't know what these people here are doing but I got people out there who are with me all right come on Hawks Bay I know you with me all right we got this going on Oh Oh somebody in here showed up all right all right all right all right I don't know maybe y'all just thought I was that other guest speaker obviously not hon he took all this stuff with him and he had a letter listen to what the letter said the letter said with this letter I send my servant naman I sent him to you so that you may cure him of his leprosy verse 7 as soon as the king of Israel read the letter he tore his robe and he said o my god can I kill and bring back to life why does this fellow send someone to me to be cured of leprosy see he's trying to pick a quarrel with me that's what he's trying to do look at verse 8 when Elisha this is the man of God this is the Prophet that the little slave girl sent a man to go be cured when he Lysa the man of God heard that the King had tore his robe he sent a messenger okay so he sends a messenger the man of God does to the king of Israel and here's what the message says why'd you tear your robe y'all don't get it to you I don't read the Bible just to read it look at it get yourself in the story okay here's a man who can absolutely wipe out all of Israel who has leprosy and wants to be cured so here he is he the Prophet hears that this man has a letter from the king of Aaron saying cure my man of his leprosy all that is fact we already know that right the man that God didn't even care about the dude with the leprosy he was more worried about the response of his king okay I'm gonna put this by the monitor so he can really scream it so y'all wake up here's the deal some of you are more worried about the crowd instead of worried about - some of you are more worried about your image than you okay some of you are more worried about why me than you are worried but you got to understand keep your eye on the prize his name is Jesus if he came died and rose again whatever you're going through he already has the answer somebody touch your neighbor and say he's got it he Scot this he's got this look at your other neighbors say he got your child he's got your situated he got your job okay I'm gonna do this I'm gonna do this I'm gonna do this I'm gonna do this I'm gonna get to the end and so so so Wayne come on Wayne come on come on Wayne so cuz I just my I feel like I'm wasting people time this morning just read my little sermon and all that stuff but that's okay because you know what I'm just realizing something I'm realizing that there's a fight going on right now there's a fight going on because these some of you and I was saying in the words of my friend TD jakes you don't want to be healed you want to be the Slayer because you're comfortable being a slave because you know if God takes away your being a slayer you don't know what to do now you're used to the pain you're used to the hurt you're used to people using you and abusing you so you're not really saying god heal me you're saying god just give me something to eat so I can stay in pain how far are you willing to go with this thing how far are you willing to go with this listen to me you got to understand that little girl could have just stayed where she was she could have said no no no no no no I can't be used by God no well I am gonna I gonna tell that man to go see the Prophet because he'll be healed and he should die he should die for what he did to me he should die for what happened to me you know that me me me me me when you start poking us alone you you and you you're ain't gonna work out but you gotta understand God has a plan he has a plan all I want to be is one piece of that puzzle I don't want to be the whole picture I just want to be one little piece let him put me down and when I get to heaven I see the whole thing I'll forget what my little piece was and know that I'm a part of the prize and that's good you're a part of the price I gotta finish this watch this watch this was that for sayin cuz I know the Lord is in there the Lord is in this candy look look at me everybody look at Reggie Reggie now look wait all looking at Wayne like oh I wish I could sing like that I know I know you've been doing that for years alright I'm jealous too watch this watch this watch this hey King why you tear your robe you know that God is in heaven looking down and when something happens to you and you respond by tearing your robe when he's like he says why you tell your robe have the man come to me and he will know that there is a prophet in Israel I love that I want to be like the Prophet y'all hear me right I know it's like I look like it cuz I'm gonna preacher today I know but you gotta understand them I've done this junk in my private life before I do it out in the public eye y'all know what I'm saying right you have to understand my wife goes every two months to get

now look naman he on this whole trip in his mind he had the way this is supposed to go cuz he's that dude he knows what to do to win a war he knows what soldiers in what direction to get a result for a win he knows he's always in control but see God has a way of helping you learn faith he has a way of taking control totally out of your hands and all you got to do you ready I've done this whole thing everybody listen obedience is the ingredient trust and obey for there's no other way to be happy in Jesus but to trust and obey I could have said that 20 minutes ago and we already beaten chicken but I had to say y'all hey watch this but naman went away angry angry he said I thought he would surely come out to me and stand and call on the name of his Lord his God and put his hand over my leprosy he's got our waters better than his brothers that's what we do in it while we will you know where we'll meet that's what God hears alright he's like shut him up so he goes back home some of

he's got you this morning washes my father if the Prophet had told you to do something great would you not have gone out and done it how much more then then when he tells you wash and be cleansed not only does she know God she's smart she's got like a psychology degree so he went down and dips himself in the Jordan seven times as the man of God told him his flesh was restored and became that as clean as that of a young boy not for a minute you for six you have never been now listen to me very carefully I am here all day I'm thinking I'm at 3:30 and at 6 o'clock if you have people who you need to get saved in your life somebody who needs Jesus if you have somebody who's struggling you need to get him here buy him dinner tell him you'll take him to a movie after we're done do whatever you got to do cuz this is this is the day the Lord has made for salvation for healing for restoration this morning it's time to be restored you need to understand some of the day there's two people I'm praying for number one you're going through a horrific situation and I'm here to tell you the way I preach this morning there's some hurting people up in this service all right you know what you're going through I don't care where you're at in New Zealand you know you're hurting I want to pray for you that's one number two I got to ask the question of all questions the questions that changes everything but first I want to pray for those who are hurting so here's one need a pastor Wayne just singing two times through if you're going through something difficult by the time this course ends the second time you need to be up on your feet but now I'm gonna tell you right now the fights about to go down all right cuz see your mind and your ears like and don't do it don't get up you can just sit here why do we have to respond why do we always have to respond why can't I just ask God to help me while I'm sitting here okay go ahead go ahead with your pathetic little self because you can't stand in the presence of a God who could change everything go ahead go ahead go ahead because I already told you act like you haven't heard me obedience is the ingredient I can tell you to run around the room and I believe if somebody does it they will be restored like nothing before but you know what else I prayed this morning then it'll be a double double double double double double then whoever does stand now whatever you could have had if you had stood dude obedience is the ingredient you're going through hell and all you got to do is stand and you're still sitting well God's gonna have to work on your pride little brother for all we have sinned and fallen short of Auriga so if you're going through some horrific it you need God to come through you got this course two times to be standing once have we done two times your discourse i'ma pray for anybody who's standing no matter if you you are no matter what campus you're at while they sing this song you need something you need God to come through for you just get up on your feet take both hands and race into heaven as a universal sign of surrender if that's you here we go this is the first time yes [Music] these [Music] you see is that's one whose last time if you need me [Music] the Lord [Music] if we get to stay seated it's only by the grace of God so jump up on your feet find somebody standing and just put your arms around if your whole row standing put your hand on the person beside you and say you pray for me I'm gonna pray for you come on let's bring heaven down let's bring heaven down all over every campus god I pray right now that your Holy Spirit would answer to cry their heart you know God what they're going through you know what they've carried you know God to hurt you know the sorrow you know the sleepless nights you've seen them God you catch every tear in a jar and you know what they're going through so in the name above all names Jesus Christ healed them right now heal them set them free in Jesus name I pray set them free in Jesus name in Jesus name in Jesus name now raise your hands this room clean [Music] he's here he's here [Music] everybody look at me no matter where you're at let's go look at Reggie do you know Jesus this morning are you saying did you walk in this room with sin did you walk into campus not knowing that he's your Lord and Savior and just before we leave before passenger comes and closes in prayer this is your day this is the day that you start a party in heaven the Bible says when one gets right all heaven rejoices so with every head bowed and every eye closed listen to the scripture Romans chapter 10 verse 9 if you declare with your mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead you will be saved you will be saved you will be saved and we're gonna do it together cuz we family here at equip our family so you know if you walked in with sin you know where you are any of our campuses in their sin of your life and I need you to do this and we're all gonna say it together I need every saint to help every Center I need every sinner to help yourself everybody say Jesus today I ask you to forgive me of my sin I know I've done wrong but I'm asking you with my mouth I'm declaring Jesus Christ is Lord of all with my heart I'm proclaiming I need you Jesus the Bible says I'm saved by the words I've said whether I feel it or not Jesus name I am saying so God thank you now I pray that you would let me know that you never left me that you've always been there right by my side every head bowed every eye closed no one looking around all over this room all over all our campuses if you are here and you say Reggie I walked in this room with sin in my life the Bible says in the book of Matthew if you declare me before men I'll declare you before my father in heaven pastor Sam can you just come and stand right beside me I'm not looking up I'm about my head and close my eyes but here it is the pastor in charge of each campus is walking on the platform right now and they're just gonna look out into the audience every head bowed every eye closed this only takes a moment but it's it's obedience is the ingredient if you said that prayer asking Jesus to be Lord of your life you had sin in your life when you came into this room and you meant the words that you said I don't care how you feel feelings come and go but Jesus is always there if you did that prayer this morning I want you to look up look at pastor and just wave and keep waving until he waves back
