He became clean (2 Kings 5:9-15)

9 So Naaman went with his horses and chariots and stopped at the door of Elishas house. 10 Elisha sent a messenger to say to him, 'Go, wash yourself seven times in the Jordan, and your flesh will be restored and you will be cleansed.' 11 But Naaman went away angry and said, 'I thought that he would surely come out to me and stand and call on the name of the Lord his God, wave his hand over the spot and cure me of my leprosy. 12 Are not Abana and Pharpar, the rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? Couldnt I wash in them and be cleansed?' He turned and went off in a rage. 13 Naamans servants went to him and said, 'My father, if the prophet had told you to do some great thing, would you not have done it? How much more, then, when he tells you, Wash and be cleansed!' 14 So he went down and dipped himself in the Jordan seven times, as the man of God had told him, and his flesh was restored and became clean like that of a young boy. 15 Then Naaman and all his attendants went back to the man of God. He stood before him and said, 'Now I know that there is no God in all the world except in Israel. So please accept a gift from your servant.'

Last week, we raised our pain by shouting 'Please fix it!' A lot of healing has happened, right? Now, all over the world, terrible war crimes occur due to constant war and indiscriminately kill people, and I cant help but think about how evil human beings are. I pray that the Lord will fix all these situations and clean all the dirt in us. With this earnest prayer, I think of todays words together and bless you all to be a life of 'Clean.'

1. I need to get rid of my thoughts.

In order to fix Naaman, a coincidental encounter follows from a young girl to a hostess, King Aram to a king of Israel, and Elisha. My life is all in Gods plan, and we are all Gods works, so there is no room for my thoughts to enter here. However, those who have achieved something in this land are most difficult to believe in God because my evil thoughts are in Gods place. Therefore, God first began by informing God to raise Naaman. Naaman stood at the door of the prophets house in the form of an occupational commander who invaded Israel with horses and chariots, and Elisha did not appear in front of him, but said, 'Wash yourself seven times on the Jordan River.' He was angry because he felt his pride was hurt and the prescription felt lipid when he told him to wash himself in a dirty-looking Jordan River without using a mysterious technique and because there was a lot of soil. Like this, he goes back to his thoughts with anger. Because he had 'my thoughts' that misunderstood God as a cure for his illness. Naaman is full of my thoughts, so I have no choice but to be arrogant, and if I am this arrogant, I cant hear what I need to hear. Every human being has a natural arrogance that says, 'Im better than others.' And the idea of 'Im not arrogant' is also the highest one who tries to prove himself to be above others. You should be able to abandon your thoughts and think of others as better ones. Finding who God is and asking questions is the secret to throwing away my thoughts. You have to ask QT questions about what God would say when the problem is not solved.

2. Have to listen to the people coming forward and interpret like a swarm of bees.

Naaman came with his own strength and time, which is more valuable than the world, but he returns angry at the thought of being hit by the door. The bells, who were only looking at it, take courage to think about it, saying, 'This is not it!' Since its a situation that you cant handle alone, many people come up to the general like a swarm of bees and lie flat and talk. 'If the prophet had told me to do something difficult, I think he would have done it as it was. The method is so easy and ridiculous, but since youve come all the way here, why dont you just pretend to be deceived and try it?' he persuades by looking at the generals mood in a polite manner. This attitude for redemption is so important. Naaman is high-minded and full of my thoughts and does not hear Elissas prescription, but his servants have heard. When there is a delay in coming forward and interpreting like a swarm of bees, you can go into the water and wash your body as you say. So youre clean, youre holy, youre saved. We are all vulnerable, but God who called us a community is almighty, so we become a strong community.

Let me introduce you to the communitys bee herd regimen. A couple, who attended the ranch well but did not repent and obey the suggestions, received wine as a prize, and somehow her husband stopped her from taking out the anger by breaking the wine bottle, and her wife hurt her head. The bee ranchers said, 'Why on earth are you cheating on us and going out to attend a meeting when we advised you not to do it? Arent you afraid of the communitys empowerment, the man who goes out knowing hes dying?' 'No one in our church doesnt change. I should change with the power of words. Lets all become a community that changes within the Words and the church community.' With these ranch families, we can do anything.

3. it is accepted as Gods people.

After hearing the words of the servants, Naaman puts down his thoughts and obeys the words of the man of God and enters the Jordan River. Community is this important. Now, not only did Naaman go down to the point where he was completely submerged in the water of the Jordan, far more thoroughly and truthfully than Elisha had said, but he repeated it all seven times. In the Bible, waterlogging mainly symbolizes death, and dying obedience means humility, and that is holiness. What was surprising was that Naamans hideous skin, which had leprosy, did not slow down over a long period of time to become as clean as a childs skin, but immediately after seven soaks. And not only was he clean, but he was accepted as a member of Gods people. After experiencing recovery, Naaman returns to Elisha, who returned to God through spiritual remorse. God was not just aimed at treating Naaman physically, but he sincerely repented to become Gods people without discrimination. After all, the clean is the living, the living is the humble, and the humble is the good. We should not be the purpose of healing the disease itself, but we should be a part of Gods people who think of others as better and save people.

King Injo, the 16th king of Joseon, lowered himself and bowed his head to the people in a disastrous environment where there was no food to wear. It was impossible to apologize as king at the time. However, there is a theory that Crown Prince Sohyeon, who sent it to the Qing Dynasty, returned to accept and reform the Qing culture, and poisoned it by checking it. No one is the object of faith before power. The secret to being clean is to not be deceived by myself and constantly discern with Gods thoughts.

Ladies and gentlemen, I hope you will abandon my arrogant thoughts in Gods seat and listen carefully to the prescription of the bee community. The purpose of life is to be accepted as Gods people. This is the secret to being clean. I hope youre saving your dying humility for this.
