“Glory to the Precious name of our Lord Jesus Christ”

Proverbs 20: 9 Who can say, “I have made my heart clean, I am pure from my sin”?

May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen

Hallelujah 

The Bride, the church seeing and knowing the leprosy that comes due to sin

My dear brothers and sisters in Christ, in the portion of the Bible that we meditated upon in the past days, the victorious bride, the church which is our soul to submit ourselves completely to God as a first fruit and for its explanation as a pattern we see that Hannah, submits Samuel, who is the son that she had borne as a first fruit, after he was weaned for God in the house of God.

Also, when God told Abraham that, take now your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you; Abraham obeyed accordingly and did that. All these things, to submit our soul completely to God and to receive salvation God is showing this as a pattern and we meditated that these things are being explained and shown to us clearly.

Next, the things that we are going to meditate is regarding the body of man to see and know the disease of leprosy, and we are going to meditate the way to safeguard so that the disease does not spread. The Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, and what he is saying is that Leviticus 13: 2 – 8 “When a man has on the skin of his body a swelling, a scab, or a bright spot, and it becomes on the skin of his body like a leprous sore, then he shall be brought to Aaron the priest or to one of his sons the priests. 

The priest shall examine the sore on the skin of the body; and if the hair on the sore has turned white, and the sore appears to be deeper than the skin of his body, it is a leprous sore. Then the priest shall examine him and pronounce him unclean. 

But if the bright spot is white on the skin of his body, and does not appear to be deeper than the skin, and its hair has not turned white, then the priest shall isolate the one who has the sore seven days. 

And the priest shall examine him on the seventh day; and indeed, if the sore appears to be as it was, and the sore has not spread on the skin, then the priest shall isolate him another seven days. 

Then the priest shall examine him again on the seventh day; and indeed, if the sore has faded, and the sore has not spread on the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him clean; it is only a scab, and he shall wash his clothes and be clean. 

But if the scab should at all spread over the skin, after he has been seen by the priest for his cleansing, he shall be seen by the priest again. 

And if the priest sees that the scab has indeed spread on the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is leprosy.

When a man has on the skin of his body a swelling, a scab, or a bright spot, and it becomes on the skin of his body like a leprous sore, then he shall be brought to the priest or to one of his sons. After the priest has examined the sore and if the sore has turned white, and the sore appears to be deeper than the skin of his body, it is a leprous sore. Those who have such a body God is saying that they should be pronounced as unclean. 

But if his body if the bright spot is white on the skin of his body and does not appear to be deeper than the skin, and its hair has not turned white, he shall be isolated for seven days and he should be examined on the seventh day. If the sore appears to be as it was, and the sore has not spread on the skin, then the priest shall isolate him the second time for seven days and then examine him. If the sore has faded, and the sore has not spread on the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him clean; then he shall wash his clothes and be clean. After he has shown himself to the priest as clean, if the scab should at all spread over the skin more, he should show himself to the priest again. And if the priest sees that the scab has indeed spread on the skin, then the priest shall pronounce it as leprosy.

This is the first type of leprosy. Leprosy means it is one kind of disease. If this disease is seen in one place in the body, it can spread to the whole body. The reason why God is showing us this is that our inner man should become holy. This disease comes due to sin or if God curses us or if the mind becomes haughty and if we burn incense without the will of God or if God beats us, leprosy comes. 

In the previous days, in the days that Jesus Christ walked around in the world if the disease of leprosy comes to anyone or if they are delivered from that disease everyone should show themselves to the priest. But now our priest is the Lord Jesus Christ. But if our inner man is unclean due to these that is sin, iniquity, transgression, the skin our soul is decaying. That is why, he is calling the people of Israel as bone and he is asking will these bones attain life.

But if the spirit of God enters into the bones, the nerves unite, and flesh is formed and is covered by the skin. When we are delivered from sin, this is happening. The one seeing this our priest, who is the resurrected Christ. This kind of dirt should be cleansed seven times which God has shown as a pattern.

Also, because haughtiness came to King Uzziah, without receiving the calling of God he entered the temple of the Lord to burn incense on the altar of incense. The Lord struck him. 2 Chronicles 26: 16 – 21 But when he was strong his heart was lifted up, to his destruction, for he transgressed against the Lord his God by entering the temple of the Lord to burn incense on the altar of incense. 

So Azariah the priest went in after him, and with him were eighty priests of the Lord—valiant men. 

And they withstood King Uzziah, and said to him, “It is not for you, Uzziah, to burn incense to the Lord, but for the priests, the sons of Aaron, who are consecrated to burn incense. Get out of the sanctuary, for you have trespassed! You shall have no honor from the Lord God.”

Then Uzziah became furious; and he had a censer in his hand to burn incense. And while he was angry with the priests, leprosy broke out on his forehead, before the priests in the house of the Lord, beside the incense altar. 

And Azariah the chief priest and all the priests looked at him, and there, on his forehead, he was leprous; so, they thrust him out of that place. Indeed, he also hurried to get out because the Lord had struck him.

King Uzziah was a leper until the day of his death. He dwelt in an isolated house, because he was a leper; for he was cut off from the house of the Lord. Then Jotham his son was over the king’s house, judging the people of the land.

When we read this, what we come to know is that the soul with haughtiness is filled with sin and will be leprous. My dear people who are reading this, let us analyze and know ourselves and be washed by the blood of Christ and cleansed and renew ourselves again and humble ourselves and receive the deliverance from sin. Let us submit ourselves.

Let us pray. May the Lord bless you all abundantly.
