  Speaker 2: welcome back to the his high radio podcast this is
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: verse by verse This is where we're going to go
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: through the word of God. You know how we do
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: chapter by chapter, verse by verse. We're going to be
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: in Jeremiah chapter 23. We're going to go through verse
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: 30 to 35. We're going to look at five verses today.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: The title of today's podcast is when people twist the
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: word of God. That is not good. That is not
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: good at all. The Bible says in Peter. that people
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: twist the word to their own destruction. So we're going
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: to take a look at that today. I'm your host.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: I'm your brother, Missy His Hop. Now, in our previous episode,
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: we've seen God expose false prophets who claim to speak
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: for him, even though he had never sent them. They'd
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: offered people false hope, spoke from their own imaginations, and
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: led people away from the truth. You do not trifle
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: with God or his word. And so today God identifies
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: three serious problems here. People who steal his word from
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: one another, people who use their own tongue while claiming
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: he said, and people who twist his word until no
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: longer You cannot recognize the original message that comes from
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: the Lord, our God.
• 2:39
  Speaker 5: Amen.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: Now, this passage should make everyone who teaches, preaches, creates
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: Christian content or speaks about God examine ourselves.
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: Because using God's name doesn't automatically mean anything. that we
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: are representing God in his word. So I want to
• 3:09

• 4:38
  Speaker 2: Father in prayer. Father, we come to you, God. We
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: quench every fiery dart of the enemy, O God. We
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: silence the voices of all familiar spirits on today. Father God,
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: we ask, Lord, that you will nourish our souls, our
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: spirits today with your word, oh God, that we will
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: not just be focused on feeding our flesh. But yes, Lord,
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: we will feed our spirit, Father God, that we will
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: seek you. We will come after you with all of
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: our hearts and trust you. We ask, Lord, that you'll
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: attach a blessing to this podcast and to this episode
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: for those who hear it. And we ask this in
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: Jesus' name. Amen. Amen and amen. All right, y'all. Well,
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: let's get to the scripture. Book of Jeremiah. It looks
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: like you lost another one. Chapter 23. And I'm coming
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: at you from the new KJV, which is The New
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: King James Version of the Bible. Let's go ahead and
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: read them first, and then we'll jump back and break
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: down these verses. Therefore, behold, I am against the prophet,
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: says the Lord, who steal my words, every one from
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: his neighbor. Wow. Behold, I am against the prophet, says
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: the Lord. Use your tongues and say, he says. Behold,
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: I am against those who prophesy false dreams, says the Lord.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: And tell them and cause my people to err by
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: their lies and by their recklessness. Yet I did not
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: send them or command them, therefore, they shall not profit
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: this people at all, says the Lord. So when these
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: people or the prophets or the priests ask you saying,
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: what is the oracle of the Lord? You shall then
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: say to them, what oracles? I will even forsake you,
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: says the Lord. And as for the prophet and the
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: priests and the people who say the oracle of the Lord,
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: I will even punish that man and his house. Thus,
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: every one of you shall say to his neighbor and
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: every one of his neighbor. What has the Lord answered?
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: And what has the Lord spoken? All right. This is strong.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: This is a strong rebuke, a strong warning, and a
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: super strong message. So let's get in it. Verse 30. Therefore, behold,
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: I am against the prophet, says the Lord. They steal
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: my words, everyone from his neighbor. Now, God declares that
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: he's against the prophets who steal my words. Everyone from
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: his neighbor. Now, this reminds me of social media. How
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: many times have we seen content creators steal content from
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: one another? Now, I know we do these things and
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: I do it myself called reaction videos. These things have
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: gotten real popular and I try to find great videos
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: that I can react to that kind of go along
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: with the biblical topic or, you know, and I'm talking
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: about my YouTube channel, but it is also easy to
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: watch a whole podcast. And then we have AI tools
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: now where we could just download the transcript. We could
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: just change a few things and then we could put
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: it out as if it's our own. And the scriptures here,
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: it exposes these prophets. They're taking words from other prophets
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: and they're using them as if it's their own. Now,
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: think about that. Those prophets were supposed to deliver God's message,
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: but instead they were taking words from one another and
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: presenting them as though they were genuine messages. from the Lord.
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: That is human nature. And God wasn't impressed by their
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: religious language. God knew exactly what they were doing. Now,
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: did warning emphasizes that a person can repeat religious words
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: without faithfully delivering God's message. So God's messenger has a
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: responsibility to represent his word honestly and Rather than borrowing
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: ideas and repeating deception that is floating around or even
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: claiming divine authority for a message that God did not give.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: So there's a difference between learning from one another. Right.
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: Learning from a teacher. And there's a difference between that
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: and stealing someone's message while falsely claiming that God personally
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: gave it to you. Now, what I'm doing here on
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: this podcast is Bible study. So I quote commentary. I
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: look up scriptures. I go verse by verse. And I
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: know that this message is from God because it's his word.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: The Bible says study to show thyself approved. And so
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: when I do speak, I can speak from the words
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: that I've studied. You can speak from the words from
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: this podcast because it's the Bible. You can go right
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: directly to scripture and back up what you're saying. But
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: for me to go out and hear a prophecy, let's say,
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: you know, the Lord is going to come back and
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: meet everybody at New York. city or something like that,
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: and I heard it from someone or I just made
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: it up or I'm lying, those are two separate things. Now,
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: we should give credit where credit is due. Now, more importantly,
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: we must never use the authority of God's name to
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: make our own ideas sound unquestionable. You know, there are
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: people who will follow you without any reservation if you
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: come and say, God told me to tell you. There's
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: some people out there, they're ignorant, they're uneducated. They don't
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: know about discernment. They don't know about testing the spirits.
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: And God does not want us to take advantage of
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: his sheep like that. And people who do so will
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: have to answer to God. This applies to preaching, songwriting, podcasts,
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: social media, and Christian content of every kind. Don't use
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: God's name to give your own words and authority that
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: they don't deserve. Amen. I let people know straight up.
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: This is a verse by verse Bible study. We're studying
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: the Bible. And that is where we grow. That is
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: where we get our foundation. Amen. Verse 31, he saith. Now, next,
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: God confronts prophets who use their tongues to declare that
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: he saith. Well, in other words, they were claiming that
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: God had spoken when he had not spoken. So the
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: problem wasn't that they were talking about God. The problem
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: was that they were falsely attributing their own words to him.
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: So we can talk about God or we can learn
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: about his word and everything. But if I jump on
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: here and say, God told me you need to all
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: drain your bank accounts and put it in my account,
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: there's a difference there. So have you ever heard somebody say,
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: God told me to tell you and then give a
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: message that doesn't agree with scripture? That's the whole point.
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: We need to be careful with statements like that. I
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: remember when I was a young convert and me and
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: my brother were His name was Mike Bumgart. We used
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: to work at the horseshoe together. We used to go.
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: We used to teach Bible studies. We used to witness.
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: We used to evangelize real tough at work. And then
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: there was a Hispanic girl and a Caucasian girl. She
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: was blonde, Hispanic, jet black hair. Both of them were beautiful.
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: And they caught wind of what we were doing. And
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: so they started hanging out with us. They started coming
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: to Bible, we had Bible study at our lunch break.
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: They would join us at the table and all of
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: a sudden the whole table was full of people with
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: their Bibles, right? Studying the word. And the blonde girl
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: came up to my brother Mike and she said, God
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: told me that you're my husband. Like God told me
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: that I was supposed to marry you. But Mike didn't
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: fall for it one second. He was like, well, God
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: didn't tell me It's like God should tell, if someone
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: comes and tells you that God told you, told them
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: to tell you something, you should test the spirit. You
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: should ask the Lord to show you yourself, to speak
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: to you. God will speak. We just have to sit
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: and listen or even ask for confirmation. God doesn't mind
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: if we need confirmation. If we're trying to discern the
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: truth when someone approaches us. So there's also one thing
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: to say, here's what I believe this passage is teaching me.
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: And it's another thing to tell someone, God said this,
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: as if your personal impression carries the same authority as scripture.
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: So we should speak humbly. We need to handle the
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: Bible carefully and never use God told me to control
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: people or prevent honest questions. I welcome questions. We are...
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: held accountable to the way that we represent God to
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: other people. All right, verse 32, false dreams that lead
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: people astray. Now, God repeats his warning against those who
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: prophesy false dreams and cause people to err through lies
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: and their boastings. So notice the result. The people were
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: being led astray. False teaching is not harmless because it
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: sounds encouraging or even spiritual. It can confuse people. It
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: can distort and get my lips to work. It can
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: distort their understanding of God and lead them away from
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: a life of obedience. That's why this is so serious.
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: God makes his position clear. He did not send these
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: prophets or command them and their messages would not benefit
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: the people at all. These men were not speaking for God.
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: So the passage here warns against messages that claim divine
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: authority but lack God's approval. You always need to seek
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: God's approval. Even with this very podcast, I'm asking God
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: to bless it. I'm asking if God, if he approves
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: of it, if he is pleased with it. going over
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: the scriptures. And I do take notes from Calvary Chapel.
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: Pastor Chuck Smith, I believe, is one of the greatest
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: Bible teachers of all time. So this is how I
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: was trained up. But if the Lord wants me to
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: change it or if he disapproves of it, I have
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: to be discerning enough to switch up and to make
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: sure he is pleased. So the measure of a messenger
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: is not confidence, excitement, or even popularity. The message must
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: be faithful to what God has revealed. Amen. And that's,
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: I believe a battle for a lot of prophets, even
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: truly godly prophets will get a strong word for somebody
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: and struggle on how they deliver it or even give it.
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: So a message can sound powerful, but it can still
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: be false. A preacher can be charismatic and still be
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: wrong in his message. A Christian artist can have talent,
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: And still communicate something that needs to be examined against scripture.
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: And a podcast host can speak passionately while still making
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: a mistake. I see it all the time. I see
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: it where people stray away from scripture, even though they
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: started off faithful. and started out strong. This also includes me.
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: Don't accept something simply because I'm the one saying it.
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: That's why I tell you to get your Bibles, your notepads,
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: and your highlighters and examine what I say. Be like
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: the Bereans, right? They searched the scripture to see if
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: it was so. even the very words from Paul, the
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: apostle himself, right? And if there's a question or a misunderstanding,
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: bring the question to me. That's why I tell people,
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: let's go to the live chat. Let's hold each other accountable.
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: Let's work over the word together, right? So the goal
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: is not just to defend a personality. Our goal is
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: to follow Jesus. And our goal is to remain faithful
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: to the word of Jesus. This is God's work. This
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: is God's church. The church will be here. The gospel
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: will be here once I'm long gone. Amen. This is
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: bigger than me. This is greater than just me. This
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: is his heart and his heart nation. This is all
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: about Jesus and being faithful to his word. And a
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: lot of people, in honest truth, there's a lot of
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: people don't even know about Club His Hop or Mr.
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: His Hop. There's a lot of people that don't even
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: vibe to my music. I put out music. A lot
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: of people listening to this podcast probably don't know that
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: I started off as a Christian hip hop artist. And
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: I haven't put out music in a while. Now, I
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: think a lot of it is a struggle because you
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: can always grow and improve. And things like that. So
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: some of that, I believe, is disobedience on my part.
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: And I pray that God will help me to fulfill that.
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: But I believe for the most part, people follow this
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: podcast because of the word of the Lord. And they
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: are growing deeper in their relationship with God, not necessarily
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: because they want to hear from Mr. His heart. Verse
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: 33 and 34 says, don't use God's word as a prop, right?
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: These verses addresses the phrase, the burden of the Lord. Now,
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: in the new King James is the bird. I mean,
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: not the old King James is the burden of the Lord.
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: This is what they would say. So let me go back.
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: And read it real quick. Verse 33. So when these
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: people or the prophets or the priests ask you, saying,
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: what is the oracle of the Lord? You shall then
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: say to them, what oracle? All right. Hold on. Bear
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: with me for a second because this is important. Uh.
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: Let's go to the King James on this. Verse 23. No,
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: not 23. 33. Behold, I am against them that prophesy
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: false dreams, says the Lord. And do tell them and
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: cause my people to err by their lies, by their
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: likeness yet I sent them not nor communicated nor commanded
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: them therefore they shall not profit this people at all
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: says the Lord and when this people or the prophet
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: or the priest shall ask thee saying what is the
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: burden of the Lord there's the new King James thou
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: shall then say unto them what burden I will even
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: forsake you, says the Lord. Wow. And as for the
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: prophet and the priest and the people that shall say
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: the burden of the Lord, I will even punish that
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: man and his household. Thus shall he say everyone to
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: his neighbor, everyone to his brother, what have the Lord
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: answered and what has the Lord spoken? I'm going to
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: go a little further. I know we're only doing five
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: verses on the podcast. Then the burden of the Lord
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: shall ye mention no more. For every man's word shall
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: be his burden. For ye have perverted the words of
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: the living God, of the Lord of hosts, our God.
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: So the Lord didn't like, it's like a catchphrase, the
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: burden of the Lord. The burden of the Lord is
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: what they were saying. And the Lord was like, you
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: will not keep using this. He got tired of the
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: phrase burden of the Lord. And he was to the
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: point where he would even wanted to punish the prophet
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: that used that catchphrase. Now, remember, Jesus says that my
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: yoke is easy and my burden is light. And he
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: did not. I mean, it just is more to me
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: is stronger in the old King James. When it comes
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: to these passages. All right. So 33 and 34.
• 27:24
  Speaker 6: Now.
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: See. See. God turns the phrase back on them as
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: a warning of judgment. The false prophets and those just
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: using this language would be held accountable. Now, the passage
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: isn't really teaching that every use of the word burden
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: is wrong necessarily. But the issue is that the way
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: people were using religious language is In a setting where
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: God's judgment had been ignored and his message misinterpreted. Now,
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: check this out. Sometimes people use religious language to sound
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: authoritative without being faithful. Our hearts can be so deceptive.
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: Faithfulness is so important. Now they may use such phrases
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: as God told me or the Lord revealed it to me.
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: Or thus says the Lord to make people accept what
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: they're saying without testing it. Especially if you have a
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: microphone in your hand, right? And this has happened to me. Personally,
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: this has happened to me. You know, it's easy to
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: get caught up in something like this, even in church.
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: But we must not treat God's name like a tool
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: for winning an argument. We should never use spiritual language
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: to manipulate people, build our own reputation, or make our
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: opinions impossible to question. I tell you all the time,
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: this is my opinion. You can take it or leave it, right?
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: When it comes to that, for the most part, I
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: try to stick close to the word. But if I
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: do have an opinion, hey, this is my opinion. I'm
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: very careful with that. And I've told people, you know,
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: where I get my material from, you know, Pastor Chuck Smith,
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: a great teacher. He can go further and deeper into
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: a lot of, he teaches chapter by chapter, verse by verse.
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: And I've, I'll always be, my heart will always be
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: with Calvary Chapel because they brought me out of a
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: Christian occult. And I believe that's the best way to,
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: to receive a message, to grow. I believe preaching is necessary,
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: but at one point you have to be taught to
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: really spiritually grow. Now, verse 85, ask what the Lord
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: has really spoken. Jeremiah 23, verse 25 tells the people
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: to ask one another, what has the Lord answered? What
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: has the Lord spoken? Now, the focus returns to the
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: question that matters. What has God actually said? Not what
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: is popular today. What's trending on the internet are not
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: what we wish, he said, and not what someone claims
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: that he says. What has the Lord spoken? That's a
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: great verse to write down, right? And to memorize. This
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: is the right question right here for every Christian. When
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: you hear a sermon, ask what scripture is he teaching
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: when we hear a prophetic claim examine it carefully when
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: you listen to a Christian musician or watch a Christian
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: video pay attention to the message Do not judge, I repeat,
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: do not judge everything by your feelings. If it makes
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: you feel happy or gives you warm, fuzzy feelings or
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: the burning in the bosom, that is not the authority
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: for truth. That is us leaning to our own understanding.
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: I mean, our feelings matter, but they are not the
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: final authority when it comes to Christian doctrine, when it
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: comes to the Bible. So we need to read the
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: passage in the context. We can compare the teaching with
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: the rest of scripture. Be willing to learn and be
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: willing to correct your understanding when the Bible shows you
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: something different. Our responsibility is not merely to repeat what
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: we hear. It's to seek what God has actually said.
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: And I learned this the hard way, beloved. Amen. I
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: grew up in a church fellowship where the pastor took
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: the authority to say, you know what? If you are
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: looking for the will of God in your life, come
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: to me as your pastor. It was a shepherding doctrine.
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: And as your pastor, I will go and pray for
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: you and come back to you and give you guys answers.
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: That's like a mediator. Instead of the pastor bringing you
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: to Jesus and showing you how to hear from Jesus yourself,
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: showing you how to search the scriptures yourself. Yeah, they
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: preached about the Bible, but they didn't really take you
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: through the Bible like we're doing on this podcast. So
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: someone came to me and said, hey, um, What is
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: the will of God for my life? I'm looking to
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: marry this girl. I would give them biblical scriptures. I
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: would say, is she in love with Jesus? Does she
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: love Jesus more than you? Do she obey the word?
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: Is she willing to be submissive and supportive as a wife?
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: Or does she have an attitude, a nasty tone? And
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: then I would tell them to pray about it. And
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: I'll pray with you, but you pray about it. And
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: even if I pray and I get a word and
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: I give it to him, I would say, OK, does
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: this word confirm what the Lord already spoke to you?
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: Or maybe the Lord hasn't revealed it to you yet.
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: Don't just take my word. I need you to pray
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: and confirm that this is actually what God has said.
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: Instead of I'm your pastor and no, you cannot marry
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: this woman or yes. Married his woman. God told me,
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: this is your wife. That is dangerous. And that is
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: what happened to me. I need to write a book.
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: My first marriage was my pastor telling me to marry
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: a stranger. I had known her for only three months.
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: And my pastor and another pastor in another church was
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: rushing us to be married. And needless to say, that was...
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: horrible a horrible experience this is one of the reasons
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: why I do verse by verse chapter by chapter because
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: people out there can manipulate and basically ruin your life
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: because they want to be the authority that only God
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: can occupy in your life only scripture can so please
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: be careful I had to learn this in a painful
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: way I was in that marriage for 13 years and
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: every day was hard. It was horrible. I have three
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: children from that marriage that when I finally got out
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: of it, I have three boys and I have a
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: strained relationship with them because I had to take time
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: to heal and recover. I am in a second marriage
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: now trying to build what was torn down from the
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: first one And I do have children in this marriage
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: and I do not have a relationship with my children
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: from the first marriage. So please, please keep me in prayer.
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: But I'm just trying to give you an example of
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: when people speak to you and using God's name, but
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: God did not give them the message that they gave you.
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: This is my life and my heart. And now you
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: see the passion. Behind his automation in verse by verse.
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: Because when we know God's word. We will be equipped.
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: To where we will not be deceived so easily. Amen.
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: Or even not deceived at all. So don't just repeat
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: what you hear from teachers and pastors. It's okay to
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: seek God. and to seek out what God actually says. So,
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: all right, let me get off of my soapbox here. Amen.
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: So the big lesson today is don't misrepresent God's word.
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: Never present someone else's idea or your own opinions as
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: a direct message from God without a truthful basis. don't
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: lead people away from scripture a spiritual sounding message is
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: not automatically a biblical one and ask what God has
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: actually said read scripture and its context examine every prophetic
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: word carefully and also remain teachable Be willing to change
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: your opinion, change your thoughts, change what you think when
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: scripture corrects your thinking. Amen. God takes his word seriously
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: and anyone who teaches it, we need to do the same. Amen.
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: All right, beloved. Let's take a break.

• 42:23
  Speaker 6: is the His Hop Radio Show.
• 42:42
  Speaker 2: Yo, yo, we are back from the break. That is
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: our brother, Derek Minor, bigger than me. As our musical
• 42:50

• 42:55
  Speaker 2: you want us to use it on the podcast, I

  Speaker 2: it right now. I always mention that his radio is
• 43:05
  Speaker 2: monitored in a reporting radio station. We do have a
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: radio chart and we do reports. We do monitor. And
• 43:14

  Speaker 2: and hit the submit tab. Without all the info, we've
• 43:22
  Speaker 2: gotten a lot of submissions lately and we appreciate all that.
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: We're going to go through the music. We do have
• 43:29

• 43:31
  Speaker 2: the radio station, we can submit it to our pool
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: and let us know. Actually, I'll probably set up the
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: forum to add another question. If you would, if you
• 43:46

• 43:50

• 43:56
  Speaker 2: can be part of the, is our family. Why not?
• 44:02
  Speaker 2: And so that was Derek minor. Also, I want to
• 44:04
  Speaker 2: give a shout out to our brother zone three, our
• 44:07
  Speaker 2: brother current, everyone who has come through and said was
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: up in the live chat. And I want to thank
• 44:13
  Speaker 2: everyone who gave me a shout out for my birthday.
• 44:17
  Speaker 2: I appreciate y'all. God bless. God is. We're still celebrating.
• 44:22
  Speaker 2: It's still my birthday month. Right? The whole month I
• 44:26
  Speaker 2: get to celebrate my birthday, y'all. And God has blessed
• 44:30
  Speaker 2: me with another year. I will not take that for granted.
• 44:34
  Speaker 2: Thank you, Father. I pray that you guys are getting
• 44:38
  Speaker 2: blessed by this podcast and everything we put out. as
• 44:43
  Speaker 2: an organization, as a ministry. Now it's time for our
• 44:50
  Speaker 2: accountability partner segment. This is where the fellowship really pays off.
• 44:57
  Speaker 2: The Bible says that we shall not follow the evil
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: dictates of our own hearts. See, we are dangerous if
• 45:06
  Speaker 2: we are left to our own selves. That's why We
• 45:09
  Speaker 2: have to study the word, renew our minds, and submit
• 45:13
  Speaker 2: and do the word. Amen. And God's spirit will empower
• 45:18
  Speaker 2: us and help us. We need God's help to walk
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: a life of faithfulness. And so it's good to have
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: people in your life that can hold you accountable, that
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: they can see in your heart and compare it to Scripture.
• 45:32
  Speaker 2: Not their own preference, not their own opinion, but to
• 45:36
  Speaker 2: Scripture itself. To say that this brother is not God's will.
• 45:40
  Speaker 2: You need to get rid of the bitterness. You need
• 45:42
  Speaker 2: to forgive your lusting. It's not right for you to
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: cheat on your wife or it's not right for you
• 45:49
  Speaker 2: to talk to another man's wife. It's not right for
• 45:53
  Speaker 2: you to steal from your job. It's not right for
• 45:56
  Speaker 2: you to, you know, we need people that will correct
• 46:00
  Speaker 2: this and rebuke us and help us to stay up
• 46:04
  Speaker 2: on the path of righteousness.
• 46:05
  Speaker 3: Amen.
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: Amen. So that's what we do right here on the
• 46:09
  Speaker 2: His Hop radio podcast. We have this segment. I have
• 46:13
  Speaker 2: known people. I see my brothers and sisters. They go
• 46:18
  Speaker 2: to the altar at church and they confess the same
• 46:23
  Speaker 2: sin over and over again. I believe what they're missing
• 46:27
  Speaker 2: is accountability. A brother that says, hey, stop doing that.
• 46:31
  Speaker 2: Stop looking at porn. Stop this. How are you doing
• 46:35
  Speaker 2: in this area? Are you growing? What's going on? And
• 46:41
  Speaker 2: I believe the people who do the work and the
• 46:44
  Speaker 2: people who really take it serious are the people who
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: actually make it to the kingdom. A lot of us
• 46:50
  Speaker 2: think that this is a game. We think our relationship
• 46:53
  Speaker 2: with God is a game. The Bible says fools mock
• 46:57
  Speaker 2: at sin. We think sin is a game. People are
• 46:59
  Speaker 2: real careless of how they live. But they're going to
• 47:03
  Speaker 2: realize how serious life truly was when we meet God
• 47:08
  Speaker 2: face to face on that faithful day of judgment. So
• 47:12
  Speaker 2: now is the time to get prepared. Now is the
• 47:15
  Speaker 2: time to do that. And so that's why we have
• 47:18
  Speaker 2: the accountability partner here. And we give you a challenge.
• 47:22
  Speaker 2: So I hope you guys are doing it. Call your
• 47:24
  Speaker 2: accountability partner and we give you suggestions on some topics
• 47:29
  Speaker 2: to talk about. And so today's episode, the challenge is
• 47:36
  Speaker 2: to sit down with your accountability partner and ask, have
• 47:40
  Speaker 2: I repeated something about God without checking whether it's actually
• 47:46
  Speaker 2: supported by scripture? Let me ask it again. Have I
• 47:51
  Speaker 2: repeated something about God without actually checking if it is
• 47:59
  Speaker 2: truly supported Now, if the answer is yes, don't be
• 48:08
  Speaker 2: ashamed to correct it. Look up the passage, examine the
• 48:11
  Speaker 2: text and be willing to admit where you were mistaken. Amen.
• 48:21
  Speaker 2: So accountability isn't about pretending we never get things wrong.
• 48:29
  Speaker 2: It's about helping each other grow in truth, humility, and obedience. Hallelujah. Well,
• 48:39
  Speaker 2: I've already mentioned this hot radio as submitting your music
• 48:45
  Speaker 2: to us. So let's go ahead and go over to
• 48:48
  Speaker 2: the Bible trivia. Amen. This is where we can have
• 48:54
  Speaker 2: a little fun. I appreciate my brother Zone 3 holding
• 48:59
  Speaker 2: it down as the trivia champion. And also getting the
• 49:07
  Speaker 2: answers correctly. And I'm just excited that my brother is learning,
• 49:15
  Speaker 2: growing deeper in his knowledge and understanding of the world.
• 49:20
  Speaker 2: But we also invite everyone else to take part of it.
• 49:26
  Speaker 2: So just download the app, log into our live chat
• 49:31
  Speaker 2: or into our community so that you can take part
• 49:35
  Speaker 2: in this. And so the question for today and the
• 49:38
  Speaker 2: one that gets it right And the one that answers
• 49:42
  Speaker 2: the first answer is a trivia champion for today. So
• 49:47
  Speaker 2: the question is, according to these verses, what three specific
• 49:55
  Speaker 2: actions by the false prophets did the Lord condemn? So
• 50:01
  Speaker 2: what three specific actions by the false prophets did the
• 50:07
  Speaker 2: Lord condemn? In today's episode. Amen. Alright. It's time for
• 50:18
  Speaker 2: the community shout out. I have an event. Coming up
• 50:23
  Speaker 2: towards the end of the month. I'll be working with
• 50:25
  Speaker 2: the church. And with Metro. Police department. They're going to
• 50:31
  Speaker 2: do a trunk or treat. Now I'm not. An advocate
• 50:35
  Speaker 2: of Halloween. Halloween. I do not dress up as ghosts
• 50:39
  Speaker 2: and goblins, and I don't participate in this at all,
• 50:45
  Speaker 2: but I do believe when people gather, there's always an
• 50:48
  Speaker 2: opportunity to evangelize. There's not one setting where we cannot
• 50:54
  Speaker 2: shine the light or be salt or preach the word,
• 50:57
  Speaker 2: and so I will be there preaching the word, representing
• 51:02
  Speaker 2: the kingdom, and And if you want to come out
• 51:07
  Speaker 2: and pray and help us, support us, we will post
• 51:11
  Speaker 2: a flyer on the website. You'll have the date, the
• 51:16
  Speaker 2: time and address because I don't know it off the
• 51:18
  Speaker 2: top of my head. I still got to post it.
• 51:21
  Speaker 2: I'm going to try to post it later today. And
• 51:26
  Speaker 2: also we have a brand new comic strip coming out.
• 51:29
  Speaker 2: If you have been familiar with our other comic strips,
• 51:33
  Speaker 2: we came out with The Rise of K.J., It was
• 51:36
  Speaker 2: our first one. And I'm learning how to illustrate how
• 51:40
  Speaker 2: to use these AI tools to get better with the
• 51:43
  Speaker 2: illustration of these comics. The second one was drawn away.
• 51:48
  Speaker 2: That was these are actual stories. Now, I'll tell you
• 51:50
  Speaker 2: a secret. A lot of these stories I get from
• 51:55
  Speaker 2: real life experience. And my heart is to get people's
• 52:00
  Speaker 2: testimonies and turn them into comics so people can download
• 52:04
  Speaker 2: the app and read them. So, Drawn Away was a
• 52:10
  Speaker 2: situation that actually happened in my family. My stepdaughter ran
• 52:14
  Speaker 2: away a couple of times. She was going through a situation.
• 52:18
  Speaker 2: Praise God, she was safe and she made it back home. So,
• 52:22
  Speaker 2: if you read the comic, the Drawn Away comic, it
• 52:27
  Speaker 2: comes with the family devotion and scripture and we compare
• 52:31
  Speaker 2: it with scripture. Basically, you know, if she were to
• 52:35
  Speaker 2: be faithful to the word of God, what different choices
• 52:39
  Speaker 2: should she have made things like that I think is
• 52:42
  Speaker 2: beneficial the latest one is the mommy monster mommy monster
• 52:49
  Speaker 2: this highlights challenges that we have in marriage challenges that
• 52:54
  Speaker 2: we have with a mother who may be a little
• 52:58
  Speaker 2: on the aggressive side in the things that they can
• 53:03
  Speaker 2: struggle with as far as the children in marriage and
• 53:06
  Speaker 2: so there's a couple of episodes out There's going to
• 53:09
  Speaker 2: be a total of 10 episodes. So keep checking back
• 53:12
  Speaker 2: as we develop these things. And so, but you got
• 53:17
  Speaker 2: to download the app. It's not going to be on

  Speaker 2: the website. We're not going to put it on social
• 53:20
  Speaker 2: media anywhere else. It's going to be on the app.
• 53:24
  Speaker 2: It's like a Bible reading plan. And there's something that
• 53:28

  Speaker 2: are blessed and you are able to get something out
• 54:54
  Speaker 2: of today's episode but if we examine right the bible
• 55:02
  Speaker 2: says examine the word Jeremiah 23 and we go through
• 55:07
  Speaker 2: verses 30 through 35. I believe that God is telling
• 55:12
  Speaker 2: us God is not pleased when people misuse his name
• 55:19
  Speaker 2: or twist his messages. We must be careful about what
• 55:23
  Speaker 2: we teach, what we repeat and what we accept as truth.
• 55:30
  Speaker 2: Don't follow a message just because it sounds spiritual. Don't
• 55:34
  Speaker 2: believe a claim just because someone says, God told me.
• 55:41
  Speaker 2: Open the Bible. Examine the message. Seek what the Lord
• 55:44
  Speaker 2: has actually spoken. Amen. You will avoid my issue that
• 55:52
  Speaker 2: I had that I struggle. I'm still recovering from it.
• 55:56
  Speaker 2: So please keep me in prayer. Amen. God is faithful.
• 56:00
  Speaker 2: His word is faithful. I've come a long way. But
• 56:04
  Speaker 2: I'm asking you to pray for my children from my
• 56:07
  Speaker 2: first marriage. Pray for my children in my current marriage
• 56:11
  Speaker 2: as well. You know, we need to just pray for
• 56:13
  Speaker 2: our children in general. Pray for reconciliation in my family
• 56:18
  Speaker 2: for healing. And I know that God is still working
• 56:23
  Speaker 2: it out. I'm going to close it out. Love it.
