Extreme Makeover: Spiritual Edition
Jackie Love Prim
Leviticus 14:33-45
Read Leviticus 14:33-45
Now, I warn you - this is not your traditional Women's Day fare. I know I'm supposed to encourage you and brag on you and all that - but because the Holy Ghost is doing something over here at your church - I've got to come with it. Now, this word isn't for everybody. At least not right now. Because, truth be told - everybody don't want to be used. Some of us still just want to have a program. We want to feel good, eat a cookie and go home. But because some of you have earnestly and fervently prayed - God has a word today.

God doesn't use rigged up stuff. He wants His tools in perfect condition. But don't worry - if it's a little shaky Jesus can fix it for you. But it might be an extreme makeover: spiritual edition.
I do watch the homemaker show over on Sunday evenings when I get a chance. The way this show starts is they have received a request from a family to renovate their home. Certain situations have caused them to need assistance in making their home more livable. There are often circumstances that have caused the needs of the family to change. There's a problem with the house and the family can't fix it alone. It might be too small; it might have a crumbling foundation; there might be plumbing problems, structural damage, accessibility issues. Whatever the case, the experts are called in to check it out.
The same is true in our text. God is giving instruction to the priests - His experts - regarding the homes that they will possess. He tells them, when I put a mark of leprosy on a house - you need to have it checked. See, God will always show us when we have problems. He'll make it plain. But we have to be willing to see it. And sometimes in order to determine the actual pr ...
