SPEAKER_05 0:00

Good morning of a church. Are you happy? In the name of Jesus. Say amen.

Close your eyes for a moment. Father, we thank you for our pastors. Thank you for the pastor. We honor them as a church. Thank you because you generated in them. The opportunity to be a church.

SPEAKER_00 1:03

Let's go to the word of the Lord. There's something precious from Him here today. It might have sounded random. Or completely off topic.

SPEAKER_05 2:18

Let's go to the Gospel of Luke. Okay? Lucas capital 4. Luke 4.

unknown 2:32

Okay.

SPEAKER_05 2:33

So you take a Bible. Get ready to take some notes. I recommend to get one.

SPEAKER_00 2:50

I always tell that story. And we get old, we start repeating ourselves. But I'll never forget when I came to preach to church. And it was so high tech. And I had my Bible with me, you know? And two little kids at the door.

SPEAKER_05 3:11

They looked at me and they said, Wow, he brought the original.

SPEAKER_00 3:19

Because they'd never actually seen a paper one before.

SPEAKER_05 3:21

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 3:22

But anyway.

SPEAKER_05 3:23

Let's go. Lucas capital 4. Luke chapter 4.

SPEAKER_06 3:28

Let me build this up for you.

SPEAKER_00 3:36

The Father himself bore witness. And now he is walking full of the Holy Spirit.

SPEAKER_05 3:43

So where did Jesus go?

SPEAKER_00 3:46

To Nazareth. Why? There was a synagogue.

SPEAKER_06 4:02

We like to tell our brothers.

SPEAKER_05 4:04

Guys, where are the girls? Oh, one second.

SPEAKER_00 4:11

I'll go back to my story. My program's all over the place. Sorry. I make an announcement real quick.

SPEAKER_06 4:22

I'm so sorry, I'll be right back.

SPEAKER_00 4:27

We need volunteers in kids' ministry.

SPEAKER_05 4:33

Okay? Okay.

SPEAKER_00 4:36

It's very challenging.

SPEAKER_06 4:39

Because the kids are always there on Wednesdays. And we are running out of adults to care for.

SPEAKER_00 4:47

Enough for all the classrooms on Wednesday nights. So like we always do.

SPEAKER_06 4:55

How many here say, Pastor, I'd love to do this? I'd love to try it out. Because we need you to show up like right now.

SPEAKER_00 5:16

Who would like to serve on kids' ministry? Let me see a show of hands.

SPEAKER_05 5:20

So keep your hands up.

SPEAKER_00 5:22

Let's go, Sandra. Moms, dads, parents.

SPEAKER_05 5:28

Homens and meninas. Men, women, need your help on Wednesdays. Okay? Okay. Levant the money for the sending your formulary. Give you your sheets.

SPEAKER_00 5:44

And our volunteers will talk to you.

SPEAKER_05 5:46

Okay?

SPEAKER_00 5:46

Okay.

SPEAKER_05 5:48

Conseguimos? Alguns.

SPEAKER_00 5:51

We got it.

SPEAKER_05 5:51

Aqui também.

SPEAKER_01 5:59

Awesome.

SPEAKER_00 6:04

I don't know if you know this, but me and my wife we always served in kids' ministry. If we wouldn't be pastors here, we would still be pastors in kids' ministry. So God bless you. Okay, back to scripture.

SPEAKER_06 6:19

So Jesus is walking full of the spirit.

SPEAKER_05 6:21

He goes to Nazareth. What does he do? He bears witness.

SPEAKER_00 6:29

Testifying he is full of the Holy Spirit. But more than that.

SPEAKER_06 6:40

He takes the scroll of Isaiah. And out loud he reads Isaiah 61.

SPEAKER_00 6:48

He says, Today this prophecy is fulfilled.

SPEAKER_05 6:53

The Spirit of the Lord is upon me.

SPEAKER_06 7:43

Now pay attention. But look at the reaction. So all those in the synagogue, when they heard these things, were filled with wrath.

SPEAKER_05 8:45

And rose up and thrust him out of the city. And they even planned this.

SPEAKER_06 9:01

What is it about what Jesus said? That makes them so mad.

SPEAKER_05 9:25

Naaman.

SPEAKER_00 9:46

And they are mad.

SPEAKER_05 9:58

Go to the Bible. Let's go.

SPEAKER_00 10:07

If you miss Sunday school, now's the time to stop complaining.

SPEAKER_05 10:22

Check this out.

SPEAKER_06 10:28

Now Naaman, commander of the army of the king of Syria.

SPEAKER_05 10:42

Because by him the Lord.

SPEAKER_06 10:47

Look up. Look at me.

SPEAKER_05 10:49

The prime Senhor is S minúsculo.

SPEAKER_06 10:52

Is lower case.

SPEAKER_05 10:56

The second Lord is S maiúsculo.

SPEAKER_00 11:04

Is this a theological conflict now? Pastor, what are we studying in theology? I can do it right now.

SPEAKER_05 11:11

Pretty attention. What is the first saying? God used a Syrian army leader from an army that was considered an enemy to Israel at the time.

SPEAKER_01 11:37

Because God will do as he pleases.

SPEAKER_06 12:14

The Bible says the world already belongs to evil.

SPEAKER_05 12:36

Let me quote the scripture so you don't call me crazy. It cannot be done. Josué and Caleb. Joshua and Caleb.

SPEAKER_06 13:03

The land is our promise.

SPEAKER_05 13:04

It belongs to us. It's milk and honey.

SPEAKER_06 13:09

It's going to be great.

SPEAKER_05 13:11

God is with us.

SPEAKER_00 13:14

So let's measure it.

SPEAKER_05 13:17

The Lord says one more year will be added to the journey. My brother, the murmured, slows down everyone. Because Joshua and Caleb 40 years they had to walk the extra years with everyone else.

SPEAKER_06 13:45

Until everyone passed away.

SPEAKER_05 14:14

But the Lord told me to pastor you.

SPEAKER_00 15:15

He was a very important man.

SPEAKER_06 15:17

He came to me one time.

SPEAKER_00 15:20

So what happens when you preach?

SPEAKER_05 15:27

I don't know, I just preach.

SPEAKER_06 15:45

The people don't like the word. They hide in Sunday school, but don't learn a thing.

SPEAKER_05 15:54

They like some magic.

SPEAKER_06 15:59

Or people's phone. Make a little mess, you know? They like the word. Because every year there's another one.

SPEAKER_05 16:33

If you all went through what I went through, oh my God. I wish I could see you.

SPEAKER_06 16:49

You'll understand why some people are where they're at. I don't remember I was angry that day. He was like 70 something. I wanted to punch him.

SPEAKER_05 17:05

I went home so mad. And I had to preach that night. And I was sad in my room.

SPEAKER_06 17:17

My wife was pregnant with Arthur. She was teaching first grade. And then she would do uh homeschooling at home with other kids. She was also going to school herself. And then at night she would teach adults how to read.

SPEAKER_00 17:54

You don't know my wife. You got no idea. What's it say? What are you doing?

SPEAKER_05 18:00

No, no, no.

SPEAKER_00 18:05

That stupid old man again. I wanted to kick him in the face.

SPEAKER_05 18:14

Nervoso.

SPEAKER_00 18:14

I was mad. Do you remember that you gotta preach a Jardine America? Well, get up and go.

SPEAKER_06 18:25

I'm not going. Go because you said you would go and your yes is your yes. I was, so I went.

SPEAKER_00 18:40

And I had this blue car.

SPEAKER_06 18:46

And I drove it and I was looking at the sky. And I was arguing with God.

SPEAKER_05 18:55

Am I just talking? What are you gonna do? You do nothing.

SPEAKER_06 19:00

Because I must do it. And then I gotta come home and hear this.

SPEAKER_05 19:05

Oh, you're just preaching.

SPEAKER_06 19:10

Isn't it yours?

SPEAKER_05 19:12

I was fucked.

SPEAKER_00 19:19

And I just went crazy on a room. I got to the church.

SPEAKER_05 19:23

It was full.

SPEAKER_06 19:25

It was packed. People were watching from the windows.

SPEAKER_05 19:27

I reclame the ultimate.

SPEAKER_06 19:28

And I got even more mad.

SPEAKER_04 19:36

People to watch what? Nothing's gonna happen.

SPEAKER_05 19:40

And I left the country. I entered the low walked in from the side. I got down on my knees. Fear of the Lord came back. And I began to shake.

SPEAKER_06 19:51

I said, Lord, I'm sorry.

SPEAKER_05 19:53

Lord, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. Lord, I repent. I'm sorry. And I heard a voice behind me. I looked. Got down. I heard Ben.

SPEAKER_03 20:14

Listen. I will heal tonight. And I heard the Lord.

SPEAKER_05 20:21

When you get up, to your left, there's gonna be a couple of women for three months. For three months, pray for her. Out in the middle. A woman with a hymn. She has a problem in her kidneys. Tell her to go to the bathroom. She'll pass kidney stones right now. To your right, his arm is a bad thing. You're gonna ask him to say, Praise the Lord for the channel. And he's gonna lift up his arms. All the way up glorifying me. And I was on my ears. I'm going crazy. I've lost it. Lord helped me. I've gone insane. I believe in miracles, but I never done this for me. And I fringe my prayer. And I got up. When I left the dirigent that was quite the culture, the leader at the time of Deus in this pulpit! I just heard the voice of the Lord! And he says, Healing! And then he told me to speak. When I opened the eyes, there's the lady crying, there's the guy with a bad arm. I said, It can't be. I tried preaching, couldn't. Someone tells me this woman right here. The Lord's telling me that she's In the name of Jesus, she started screaming. That woman is standing in the back. You have a problem with your kidneys, right? She ran. The guy with a bad arm. Levanta a mão and the glory of Death. He lifted the good one. The Lord says, both hands. And he raised it up.

SPEAKER_03 22:38

The church exploded.

SPEAKER_05 22:42

I fell, eita!

SPEAKER_03 22:44

I was like, whoa.

SPEAKER_05 22:49

Finished preaching. Came down from the stairs. Who was there? Armando Coc. An intercession lady. Only few of you have met this kind of prayer warrior before. With the Bible right here on her chest. Going down the stairs. Armando Coq. She catches me.

SPEAKER_04 23:12

I heard you in aquele carro. In the car. When you said I couldn't do it. When you said I couldn't speak. Now you see. And I hear. I did not call you for spectacle. I've told you to preach my word. So preach my word. You have to elke fast. I will do the rest.

SPEAKER_05 24:11

An important man. Second highest in Syria. He was the only one before the king. A respected man by the king. A war hero. A valorous man. However. A leper. And this was so ironic for Naaman. Do you know what the name Naaman means?

SPEAKER_00 25:00

Pleasant to look at.

SPEAKER_05 25:01

Bello.

SPEAKER_00 25:02

Handsome. Beautiful.

SPEAKER_05 25:05

Lingo.

SPEAKER_00 25:05

Gorgeous. However.

SPEAKER_05 25:08

Leproso.

SPEAKER_00 25:09

Covered in leprosy.

SPEAKER_05 25:12

You know what's sad about leprosy?

SPEAKER_06 25:15

It doesn't hurt.

SPEAKER_05 25:20

The biggest aspiration of Joel peg was to grab a piece of mud and feridas and you try to scratch the wounds.

SPEAKER_00 25:34

To maybe at least feel something.

SPEAKER_05 25:42

God is talking to somebody impeccable. Your impeccable curriculum.

SPEAKER_00 26:10

There's people here today.

SPEAKER_05 26:12

Your curriculum is great. But what bothers you is a virtual is this period at the end of the curriculum. That says, However, dying and rotting from the inside out. A leper.

SPEAKER_04 28:36

But the Bible says that when she spoke, her speech supersedes three levels of authority.

SPEAKER_05 28:47

She speaks to the wife. Three.

SPEAKER_06 29:00

No, but that's not shit. That's not it.

SPEAKER_05 29:01

What this menina feel credit for her? What made her so credible to be heard?

SPEAKER_00 29:16

Let me breathe and reorganize my thoughts.

SPEAKER_05 29:20

I read the Bible.

SPEAKER_06 29:29

Did you know that before you talk about God, you gotta at least meet him?

SPEAKER_05 29:32

At the very least, meet the guy. When you speak at home, say when the Pai fell, God speaks.

SPEAKER_06 30:08

She had a dream.

SPEAKER_05 30:09

Or she prayed about me. I hear the Lord. He got kids that when he comes to adoration, when he adds and adora, God is here. Because before you convince with men or that girl lived in Naman and say, Só ouve. Listen to her. Give credit to her words. Listen. It was so strong that she said. She had no home. She had more family. She had no family. But she still had the heart. If you knew the prophet of Israel.

SPEAKER_04 31:19

And the God of our land. The God of our healing. You would never again have leprosy. This is our God. My God.

SPEAKER_06 31:39

She did not ask for his death.

SPEAKER_04 31:42

Or prayed that he would be sick. And the God of the healing of Israel.

SPEAKER_05 31:54

My Lord Naaman, you would never again be sick. You know what he did? He went to the king of Syria.

SPEAKER_04 32:03

Little girl.

SPEAKER_05 32:05

And he heard her.

SPEAKER_06 32:09

The king didn't even ask her. No, it's credible.

SPEAKER_05 32:14

The Bible says The Bible says that the most expensive journey of his life.

SPEAKER_06 32:32

I'm going to give you a letter.

SPEAKER_05 32:44

Let me update 300 miles of prata. Let me update 3 million dollars.

SPEAKER_06 32:58

And also many changes of clothes. That's around 700K.

SPEAKER_05 33:05

7 million and dollars. The most expensive thing he's ever done. Sabe por quê? You know why? Because Naman achava con dinero. I buy loyalty with money. I buy soldiers with money. I buy silence with money. Don't tell nobody. Let me pay you this. That's what he thought he could buy healing with money. Something they can buy the Lord. Everything's money, right? Everything's money, right? No, you can't buy this. That's free. And still a cartable. And so foram para Israel. They went to Israel. When they changed, look, I come in the name of the king of Syria. When he left the cartake, he tore his clothes. Are you crazy? Do you think I'm God to buy and sell death? To heal?

SPEAKER_01 34:45

This is your evil articulation.

SPEAKER_05 34:48

Because you come with this talk. Are you crazy?

SPEAKER_06 34:59

You think it's all about your power? And Elisha heard about the tearing of the king's clothes.

SPEAKER_00 35:19

They don't go to kings.

SPEAKER_01 35:32

But why did you tear your clothes?

SPEAKER_05 35:35

Why? Manda o Cyrio.

SPEAKER_00 35:39

Tell the Syrian to come here.

SPEAKER_05 35:41

Manda o Sirio viraki. Bring him here. Lá vai o Sirio. So he goes.

SPEAKER_01 35:47

Look how he goes.

SPEAKER_05 35:48

Veio Naman.

SPEAKER_01 35:49

Here comes Nah.

SPEAKER_05 35:51

With all of his horses.

SPEAKER_01 35:53

With all of his carriages.

SPEAKER_06 35:56

With all of his glory.

SPEAKER_05 36:01

Remember Maximus parading for Caesar.

SPEAKER_06 36:13

It was like that, and he puts all of that in front of the mountain.

SPEAKER_05 36:16

Tentando impression. Trying to impress. Look at me!

SPEAKER_03 36:27

And the prophet.

SPEAKER_00 36:40

Go down there.

SPEAKER_05 36:41

Fala pra ele directly.

SPEAKER_00 36:43

Tell him to go to the Jordan River. And dip himself seven times.

SPEAKER_05 37:23

When you try to help people at church. And a diagnosis. And the treatment. Um the message.

SPEAKER_00 37:51

The messenger gets there.

SPEAKER_05 37:55

Because he was waiting a special ceremony for him. There wasn't. A new ritual for him. There wasn't.

SPEAKER_00 38:08

Back when I was in the army, we had a phrase.

SPEAKER_05 38:12

Are you posted? Post a luz. Are you posted? Run over there. And said, Do you see the Jordan? Vai. Head out. So I'll just go. The Bible says. The Bible says.

SPEAKER_04 38:30

Naaman was furious.

SPEAKER_06 38:34

Oh, is this how the pastor's gonna do this?

SPEAKER_04 38:49

I need all of your attention. I thought he would come to the phone. Bow down the phone. Invoke his colour of my leopard. His hands are my leprosy. He doesn't even come out of his tent. He's illuminated to say Jordan. And he tells me to go in the Jordan.

SPEAKER_05 39:16

Let me say something. I'm from Syria.

SPEAKER_06 39:20

I got the best rivers in the world.

SPEAKER_05 39:23

They fall from mountains.

SPEAKER_06 39:35

This is muddy right here.

SPEAKER_05 39:37

And the servant's like, this should be interesting. And Naaman's like, I thought This is the problem, Naman. That's your problem, bro. You think too much. This is the problem, Nama.

SPEAKER_00 39:55

That's the problem, Naaman.

SPEAKER_05 39:59

Oh, if I had another husband, another one. If I had another job.

SPEAKER_00 40:07

Yeah, right, amen. It's everyone's fault, right?

SPEAKER_05 40:12

We had the mask, we had everything. You know what's your problem, man? But pride always suffers one thing. The proud can never obey what's simple. Gente, guys, for a grand milagre.

SPEAKER_04 40:33

For a grand milagre. I need a great merge.

SPEAKER_05 40:38

I need a look at help.

SPEAKER_04 40:42

Please!

SPEAKER_05 40:43

Obedience is simply. It takes the tiniest obedience. Simples! Simple. No, but even to solve the problem, it's gotta look cool, right? So you? No, but it's me. Trata-se de me. Take your meal. You know who I am. Olha quem I so in that. Me mostraria pra igreja. He até tiraria uma photo of me chorando. And me sufrendo.

SPEAKER_04 41:23

Please validate me. And I'm the king. Jordan.

SPEAKER_06 41:30

Go to the Jordan.

SPEAKER_05 41:31

It's also seven.

SPEAKER_04 41:34

Seven times.

SPEAKER_05 41:36

For the leprosy. It's one healing. But for your pride. You must get humble. For your healing. It's a thing. It's like that. For your orgullif, humility. It's a process.

SPEAKER_06 41:56

So I'm in the same cycle.

SPEAKER_05 41:59

I'm in the same crisis, pastor. You're gonna die in the crisis limp. Until you get up clean from the jordan. Clean how much? The Bible says. He dip once. It was still there. Second. Twice. Nothing. Three. Three times. Nothing. Four times. Nothing. Cinco. Five times. Nothing. Six. Six times. Some of you need a thousand dips.

SPEAKER_01 42:30

I want to be a fun preacher.

SPEAKER_05 42:32

No, God bless you. Have power. The Lord told me to preach the Bible, I'm so sorry. Seven times. He gets up. He is like a newborn. No, no, no. The Bible doesn't say he was just healed. It was like he was born again. Or you are in my cycle of orgulli. How do I break the cycle of pride?

SPEAKER_03 43:24

You have to be born again. You're still living the old man.

SPEAKER_05 43:30

You know what the new skin looks like? Nova story. It's a new story. It's a new habit. It's like a boy, like a newborn. Anar. Anar. Pegou? You got that word? God reduced him.

SPEAKER_00 43:53

To the same littleness of the girl who brought that word for him.

SPEAKER_03 44:08

God reduced him to the humility of the girl who brought him the word of the Lord.

SPEAKER_05 44:12

And then Jesus says one day if you do not believe in me like a child, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. You know what your miracle is? In the next step. Which one? Obedience.

SPEAKER_03 44:31

Obedience. Is it a big miracle?

SPEAKER_05 44:43

Because if you can't obey the simple simple simple to call someone. Say, I release you. I forgive you. Mom. I release you. Pai. Dad.

SPEAKER_00 45:03

It's all good.

SPEAKER_05 45:04

I forgive you. Your co-worker, your kids. There's people here who are gonna start dipping as soon as they get in the car. Because the wife is like this. Oh yeah, thank you, Lord. Yeah, talk to him, Jesus. I'll see a breakthrough, I'll see a menu. It's so simple. Talk to your kids. Going to service different, it's simple. Stop being religious. It's so simple. Confess your sins unto the Lord is so simple.

SPEAKER_00 45:53

What's your jordan?

SPEAKER_05 45:57

How long do I have to keep dipping? Until you emerge and you see a difference. Born again. No more pride.

SPEAKER_01 46:17

No more wrath and stress.

SPEAKER_05 46:18

Paralysando a casa.

SPEAKER_01 46:20

Paralyzing your life.

SPEAKER_05 46:21

Paralysando a family. Family. Travando the proposal.

SPEAKER_01 46:27

Every time the pride increases.

SPEAKER_00 46:38

One more time. One more year.

SPEAKER_04 46:48

As many times as it takes.

SPEAKER_05 46:51

Until you emerge anew! And you see a difference was made. For you. Fech as those eyes.

SPEAKER_01 47:09

Close your eyes.

SPEAKER_02 49:41

Com tes bras, consequences.

SPEAKER_05 50:34

The prophet of the most high.

SPEAKER_01 50:46

He sees you for who you are. So he always confronts you where he needs to confront you.

SPEAKER_05 51:01

You need to dip in the river until you start to see the new story.

SPEAKER_06 51:22

And they throw it up in the air and toss it if it's just much good as a pool. It's just as fun.

SPEAKER_04 51:38

Remember the Lord your God.

SPEAKER_01 52:00

I'm not even gonna make it alter, Paul.

SPEAKER_05 52:03

I don't gotta say nothing. Come as you are. Take it. Get up different. Get up new. Get up as a new person. In the name of Jesus. For a great miracle to happen. All it took was a little obedience.

SPEAKER_01 52:36

Hear the wisdom of the Lord. If he asked you for great things, you wouldn't do them. He asks you for little ones. Father in the name of Jesus. Thank you for the hungry hearts of your children.

SPEAKER_05 52:56

This is your word. Lord, I don't know how many dips we all need. I pray the last one comes today.

SPEAKER_06 53:10

So that nothing can ever rock them inside again.

SPEAKER_05 53:17

May all leprosy and sin be gone. And everything that's killing them on the inside. I declare a new wife. A new man of God. New children. With a new story. With a new life. With new children in the kingdom of God. In the name of Jesus. Starting now, Lord. In name Jesus.

SPEAKER_03 53:49

In the name of Jesus.

SPEAKER_05 54:41

Do you know why the Israelites they hated what Jesus said? Because he provoked them. I healed in a way.

SPEAKER_06 54:50

Because those were inside did not want to participate.

SPEAKER_05 54:57

But God brought you to currently to bring healing. So please don't make the same mistake as a nation. Be a stranger.

SPEAKER_03 55:42

God knows how to deliver you.

SPEAKER_05 55:45

God knows how to take care of you. Amen. Hold on a minute, we got something.
