  Speaker 2: Hey welcome back to the his high radio podcast i
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: am your brother i'm your host mr his hop and
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: you know what we do this is where we go
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: verse by verse through the word of god together today
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: we're going to continue in the book of jeremiah chapter
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: 21 we are about to complete a whole another chapter
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: praise god for that we are moving through the book
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: of jeremiah this is one of the biggest books by
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: a prophet in the Old Testament. So it is a
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: blessing and an honor to walk this walk with you guys.
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: And today we're going to pick up in verse 11
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: all the way through verse 14. So grab your Bibles,
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: your notepads, and your highlighters so that you can follow
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: along and take notes and highlight, of course. Now in
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: our previous verses, we saw King Zedekiah looking to Jeremiah
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: for an answer from God concerning the Babylonians. Babylon was marching.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: They were actually at the gate. They saw destruction. They
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: saw the judgment. Everything that Jeremiah was prophesying, they saw
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: it come to pass. You'd think he would have had
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: a heart to repent or to take heed at least
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: to the words of the prophet but we're going to
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: continue to look into the guy's word and see exactly
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: how he responded but we do know that Jeremiah the
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: prophet told him the truth faithfully he said that don't
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: you try to fight against the Babylonians if you want
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: to live you need to capitulate and We need to
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: go out and surrender. And they saw that as treason.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: And they saw that as, okay, you are demoralizing the
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: troops to where they don't even want to fight. And
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: so we're going to get into that. But first, what
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: I need y'all to do is download the His Hot
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: Radio app, H-I-S-H-O-P on all platforms. And once you download it,
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: we need you to log into our live chat because
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: this is an interactive podcast. We have an accountability partner
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: segment that we believe will be very beneficial, very valuable
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: if you follow the instructions in it, right? Because we
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: all need someone to be held accountable to. Now, if
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: you don't have someone in your life that can pray
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: with you, somebody that can give you wise counsel, you
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: can post right in the live chat and we can
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: interact there and you can request a follow up. We
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: do weekly phone calls and, you know, we can do
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: Zoom calls, whatever needs to be done so that we
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: can cross that finish line. Because the Bible says that
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: narrow is the path that leads to life. And there
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: are only a few that find it. Broad is the
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: road that leads to destruction. So that should tell us
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: right there, beloved, that we need to stay on this
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: narrow path and we need to surround ourselves with people
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: who are serious about their walk with God. You know,
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: there's a lot of people who are playing around with
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: their relationship with the Lord. And there's a lot of
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: people that are not going to make it. The Bible
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: says when the Lord returns, one will be taken and
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: one will be left. That is a 50% ratio. So
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: look around to the Christians of today, to the church
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: of today, and then chop off 50% of the people.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: That should wake us up. That should be alarming. And
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: so this is what the accountability partner segment does. It
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: helps us. Because the Bible says our hearts are evil
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: and desperately wicked who can know it. So we need
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: to constantly sow the word of God into our hearts.
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: And it's good to have a specific thing that we
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: need to bring before the Lord. And it's good to
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: get godly counsel. And so that's what we're providing in
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: the live chat. And also we do our trivia, our
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: games and all that stuff. So get logged into the
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: live chat. Once you download the app, hit that top
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: left menu, hit the drop down. And once it drops down,
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: click on live chat and register. Hit that register button
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: and type in your username, your email address, password. Very easy.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: And then you're going to do the same thing for
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: our community. Our community is the same thing as a
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: live chat, except we're able to do more in our community.
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: It's in the same place. Go to the top left menu.
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: Go down a little further. Click on Community. Log into that.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: We're able to upload videos, links, pictures. We're able to
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: do more. There's more of a social network. It's our Discord.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: And so we want to definitely get signed up for that.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: All right, let's pray. Heavenly Father, we just ask, Lord,
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: that you'd be with us today. Thank you for allowing
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: us to get back into your word. Father, your word
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: says that we need to be in your word daily,
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: Father God. And thank you, Lord, for the ability to
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: come on here daily, Father God, and to just examine
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: your word, talk about it, O God, and share your
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: word on this podcast. We ask, Lord, that the hearers
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: will get blessed. We ask, Lord, that lives will be changed,
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: O God, Lord, and help us to get the message
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: from the book of Jeremiah. Let us not rebel against
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: your word or your instruction, O God, But help us,
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: Lord God, to walk a path of obedience, to stay
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: on that narrow road. In Jesus name. Amen. All right.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: So we're going to jump in to verse 11 today.
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: And this is a message to the house of David.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: If you are a good student of the word of God,
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: you would know that. God promised a dynasty in the
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: line of David. As a matter of fact, God promised
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: that the Messiah would come through his line. That's why
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: when people, especially in the New Testament, would call him Jesus,
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: thou son of David, because he kept the dynasty alive
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: and God promised that his dynasty would last forever. And
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: of course, that is accomplished through Jesus Christ himself. But
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: now he also said that if his family members would
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: go astray from him, that they would be dealt with
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: as well. So this is what we're going to look
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: at in 11 through 14. We're only going to go
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: through four verses today, but they're going to be rich
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: and powerful verses. So verse 11 and concerning the house
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: of the King of and concerning the house of the
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: King of Judah, say, hear the word of the Lord.
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: Hear the word of the Lord. Now there's a message
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: begins with in touching the, The house of the king
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: of Judah say, here is the word of the Lord.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: God is specifically addressing the king's household. You know, when
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: you are in leadership, you are held more accountable for
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: leading God's people. That's if you're a pastor, a minister, president, kings,
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: there is more of an accountability here. Now, this message
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: is not just a simple message for a regular person.
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: This is a message for a king. So when God
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: gives you authority, he also gives you responsibility. That reminds
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: me of was it Spider-Man with great. power comes great responsibility.
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: That is a very true statement. Now, God's concern wasn't
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: just merely with Judah's military or the political situation in Judah.
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: The leaders themselves were accountable to God for how they
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: govern and how they treated the people under their authority. So, beloved,
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: it's important who we submit to. Now we, you know,
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: we barely can, you know, we cannot choose our president
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: in this country. Now we can vote for our leaders
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: in this country. And I try my best to vote
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: for the most righteous candidates because I believe that we
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: are accountable for our leaders. We will be accountable before God. Now,
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: voting for the most righteous candidate, I believe is that
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: we're doing our part to at least try to keep
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: our country on the right path. But I know a
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: lot of people in trust me, this is not a
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: political podcast at all. But a lot of people, if
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: you choose not to vote or choose not to participate.
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: I think that we will also be held accountable if
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: we allow wickedness just to happen. You know what I'm saying?
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: Like we need to do at least something to try
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: to detour evil from just running rampant. But yes, God
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: will judge leaders for how they govern and how they
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: influence the people who are under the care. He cares
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: about what we do with the influence that God gives us.
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: As leaders, this applies to kings, to pastors, to parents. employers,
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: military leaders, anybody who has influence over other people. Influence
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: itself is responsibility. Amen. So if God has given you
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: a platform, that's why even in my ministry, I was
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: careful about who I would put on the platform. If
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: you were a babe in Christ, and I knew that
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: you were just coming up in the Lord, I would
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: allow you to do open mic, but I wouldn't give
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: you a featured position right away because that can destroy
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: you if your character is not ready for that. Verse 12,
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: O house of David, thus says the Lord, execute judgment
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: in the morning And deliver him who is plundered out
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: of the hand of the oppressor. Lest my fury go
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: forth like fire and burn so that no one can
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: quench it.
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: Because of the evil of your doings. Amen. Execute judgment
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: in the morning now. God tells the house of David. Now, basically,
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: this is leadership. Over the nation. Execute judgment in the
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: morning and deliver him. That is spoiled out of that
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: hand of the oppressor. God tells them to do what
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: is right, basically.
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: He tells them to protect those who are being oppressed. Right. Now,
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: think about our country, the United States. We have been
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: free for years. This is actually 250 years of our
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: nation being in existence. And we are supposed to be
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: a free country. But we are starting to see more
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: and more oppression in this nation because We can just
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: look at the gas prices. We can just look at
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: what's going on around us and we can see the
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: oppression happening. And so he gives them a warning and
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: he tells them, lest my fury go out like a fire. Remember,
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: we are supposed to examine the character of God. And
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: we see here that God gets angry. When people are
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: being oppressed and people are being taken advantage of, he
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: takes up the cause of the widow and the fatherless.
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: In other words, don't keep doing wrong and assume that
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: God's patience means that God approves of your actions. This
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: is a powerful lesson right here. Sometimes people confuse God's
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: patience with his permission. And that's not the case. God
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: is waiting for us to get it right. Just because
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: judgment hasn't happened yet doesn't mean God doesn't see what's
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: happening and what's going on. God sees everything. He sees
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: all the injustice. He sees all the corruption and God
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: sees people being mistreated and that doesn't matter where it's at.
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: It's school, in business, at work, in the family. God
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: sees it. God sees when someone uses authority to take
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: advantage of somebody who doesn't have the power to fight back.
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: He sees those who are in positions of disadvantage. And
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: God tells these leaders to do what is right. Amen.
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: How desperate do we need a teaching like this in
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: our nation right now? Amen. Every person in leadership needs
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: to read this chapter in our country. Now, this isn't
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: the first time that we've seen God address injustice, right?
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: Throughout scripture, God repeatedly commands his people to care for
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: the vulnerable and to treat each other fairly. He wants
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: us to be concerned about the poor, the people in
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: power aren't supposed to use their position to benefit themselves.
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: While ignoring everybody else, they will be held accountable for that.
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: They're supposed to protect people. If God is giving you
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: authority over people, your position isn't supposed to be used
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: simply for your own benefit in your own selfish gain.
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: Leadership should serve. That's true leadership. Even in ministry, the
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: word minister means servant. This is true in business. This
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: is true in the home. This is true in the community.
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: If you want to be successful in business, successful in
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: your career, learn to serve. You're here to serve others. Now,
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: the question isn't simply what can I get from my position?
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: The question is, how can I use this position to
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: help somebody else? We need to pray and ask God,
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: why did you give me this position? Why did you
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: give me this responsibility? Amen. Verse 13, behold, I am
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: against you. Oh, inhabitant of the valley. And rock of
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: the plain, says the Lord, who say who shall come
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: down against us or who will enter our dwellings? Verse 13. Now,
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: God is very poetic. That's one thing I love about
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: the word about God. He knows how to express himself
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: in poetry. But let's break this down. I am against
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: the old inhabitants of the valley. Now, God now addresses Jerusalem.
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: He's dealt with the leaders. He addresses Jerusalem or the
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: inhabitants themselves. He describes them as those who dwell in
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: the valley and rock of the plains. Now, they believed
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: that they were safe because they had the rocks around them,
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: that they had a fortified city around them, right? They
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: looked at Jerusalem and saw walls, buildings, defenses, and strategies
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: that in strategic locations but God says behold I am
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: against thee now that's the real danger not Babylon not
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: his army not even the circumstances God opposes those who
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: opposes him God's opposition against the city was the true
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: problem now Jerusalem's physical defenses could not protect the people
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: from God. Let me say this again. Jerusalem's physical defenses,
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: even the United States, we have had, I don't know
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: if it's true today, but we have had the most
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: powerful army in the world for centuries. But Our nukes
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: cannot defend us. Our jets, our ships, our Navy, nothing
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: natural can defend us from God and from God's judgment
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: and God's wrath. Now they place confidence in their city
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: and that They were looking in the natural. They're looking
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: for natural defenses. But no human fortification can protect someone
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: from divine judgment. Now, that's something that we really need
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: to remember. We can put our confidence in all kinds
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: of things, right? We could think money is going to
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: protect us. We can think a job, a career will
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: bring us security, a house, our title, our business, or
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: even a political system or even a ministry. Maybe a
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: large audience. Maybe if we just grow our audience on
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: social media and start getting paid, that we will be
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: protected from the economy or things going on in our nation,
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: but none of these things can replace God at all.
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: We can build the strongest walls, right? And we could
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: be looked at as safe and secure on a worldly standpoint,
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: but if we're fighting against God, those walls aren't going
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: to save you. And we're living in a time where
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: the Antichrist is about to step on the scene. And
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: a lot of people are going to put their faith
• 23:17
  Speaker 2: and trust in this leader, this man of perdition, the
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: man who opposes all that is, that belongs to God,
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: God and his kingdom. And they're going to think that
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: they're safe because they took, they have taken the mark
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: of the beast. This, The leader is going to promise
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: them prosperity. They're going to promise them a lot of things.
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: And they're going to see that this man cannot fulfill
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: his promise. This man cannot protect them. All right. Where
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: are we at? Verse 14. I mean, verse 13 is
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: where we're at. Behold, I am against you, O inhabitant
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: of the valley and the rock of the plain. Oh, actually, no,
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: we're at verse 14. The last verse of the chapter. Amen.
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: But I will punish you according to the fruit of
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: your doing, says the Lord. I will kindle a fire
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: in its forest and it shall devour all things around it. Now,
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: I've mentioned that I looked up Jerusalem. I saw some
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: videos on YouTube where they were archaeologists were doing some
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: excavation in the city and they found layers of ash.
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: And so it is true that this city was once
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: burned to the ground. God burnt this city and his
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: word came to pass. He says, I will punish you
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: according to the fruit of your doing. God closes this
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: passage with this statement right here. I will punish you
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: according to the fruit of your doing. And if we
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: know anything about God's word and we study, God is
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: going to judge every man according to their works. Your judgment,
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: how you live, your lifestyle, the sin that you choose
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: to do on a repeated basis, that very sin is
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: going to be your judgment in eternity. I've seen near-death experiences,
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: videos that I've watched, and a lot of them say
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: that hell is very organized. If you were a person
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: who fell to sexual sin, then there will be sexual punishment.
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: People are getting raped and sexually molested in hell and
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: being tormented and tortured. I've heard if it's money that
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: you fall in love with, people are getting burned inside
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: of gold and all kind of rich type of things
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: that we would consider rich, rich and valuable on this earth.
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: It's like, this is real. According to the fruit of
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: our doing, this is so powerful. God says he will
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: judge them according to the fruit of their own actions. Now,
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: what you plant eventually produces something. Your choices are consequences.
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: I mean, your choices have consequences and your actions, they
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: produce fruit. We can't get away with that. We can't
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: get around that now. That's a principle we see all
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: throughout Scripture. We can't continually plant seeds of rebellion and
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: expect a harvest of righteousness. We can't continually mistreat people
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: and expect God to ignore it. You can't continually compromise
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: and expect there is no consequences whatsoever. So what are
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: you producing today? Look at your fruit. If your fruit
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: is bitterness, examine the root of that. If your fruit
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: is pride, examine the root of that. If your fruit
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: is selfishness, examine the root of that. If the fruit
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: is righteousness, humility, love, and obedience, keep cultivating that fruit.
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: that fruit tells you something about the tree. Amen. We
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: become fruitful just by spending time with God, by having
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: a prayer life, having a time in his word and
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: tuning into this podcast. Shameless plug.
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: So the big lesson is God hold leaders accountable for
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: Leadership comes with responsibility, so authority isn't just a privilege.
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: It is a responsibility before God. Also, God cares about justice.
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: He expects those in power to protect people from oppression.
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: God's patience doesn't mean that he approves of our bad
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: and evil actions, right? A delayed judgment isn't necessarily an
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: absent judgment. You know, just like when we deal with
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: our children, sometimes we're patient, we warn them, we're patient,
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: but it gets to the point where we got to
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: get that belt out and we got to punish them
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: for continued disobedience, right? Earthly security is temporary. Walls, wealth, position,
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: influence cannot replace God. our actions produce fruit eventually what
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: we plant produces a harvest and God examines how we
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: use our influence the question isn't simply whether we have
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: influence is what are we doing with that influence? Why
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: do you desire to build a social media following? Why
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: do you desire to build a large business or a
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: large audience or a large church? What will you do
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: with this influence and the privileges that God has allowed
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: you to have because the great power comes great responsibility
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: my family let's take it right you.

• 32:19
  Speaker 3: the breaking. Trust me, I asked God when he chose me,
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: did he mistake it? I asked God to take his
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: plan from me, God to keep his hand on me,
• 32:28
  Speaker 3: God to take me out this place, cause there's some
• 32:30

• 35:31
  Speaker 2: do you see growing from my life right now? So
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: call your partner or answer these questions in a live chat.
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: What kind of fruit do you see growing for my
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: life right now? Is there any area where my actions
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: aren't matching what I say that I believe? Now, that's
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: a serious question. Give your accountability partner permission to answer honestly.
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: Don't be defensive. Just listen to what the spirit is
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: saying through the people that God has placed around you.
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: Because accountability isn't about somebody telling you what you want
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: to hear. It's about helping each other become more like Christ. Amen.
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: We also want to let you know that His High Radio,
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: we are a monitored and a reporting radio station. We

  Speaker 2: or not, that's between you and the artist. Some do
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: it for free. Sometimes Some do it for a payment.
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: You know how the business goes, but that's just to

  Speaker 2: not in vain. It is a very, very fun interview.
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: and rewarding game. So, all right, here is the question.
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: What specific action did the Lord command the house of
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: David to carry out in the morning? And who were
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: the Who were they commanded to deliver from the hand
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: of the oppressor? Let me ask you again. What specific
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: action did the Lord command the house of Judah to
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: carry out in the morning? And who were they commanded
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: to deliver from the hand of the oppressor? All right.
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: All right. Now, we want to give a community shout out.
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: We want to shout out our community. Kids Hot Radio

• 41:46
  Speaker 2: we can do the thing. You know what I'm saying?
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: And also, we want to let you know that His
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: Hot Radio is a non-profit radio station. His Hot Nation
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: is the actual organization, is the umbrella over everything else
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: we have. We are 501c3. We are looking for donors
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: and monthly supporters. So if that's you, we are asking
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: for your support. We opened a Christian club in 2012,
• 42:26
  Speaker 2: a 5,000 square foot warehouse. And so we're looking for
• 42:29
  Speaker 2: even a bigger building, a bigger facility. We have youth
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: programs that we want to offer to our community. Yes,
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: if God gives us this position of leadership, once again,
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: we want to be faithful to the responsibility behind it.
• 42:48
  Speaker 2: So if you feel that this is good ground to
• 42:50
  Speaker 2: sow into, you can do so on our website or
• 42:54
  Speaker 2: on our app. And also you will be able to
• 42:57
  Speaker 2: write it off on your taxes. Sometimes the deductions make
• 43:02
  Speaker 2: a great difference when it's tax season. So you can
• 43:10
  Speaker 2: head on over to do that. That'll have some closing remarks, beloved. Now,
• 43:19
  Speaker 2: God isn't impressed simply because these people held positions of authority.
• 43:28
  Speaker 2: He wanted them to do what is right, not just
• 43:32
  Speaker 2: have a title. He wanted them to protect people from
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: oppression and he wanted them to, he wanted them, he,
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: I mean, excuse me, he warned them of their position.
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: He warned them that their position wouldn't protect them from judgment.
• 43:56
  Speaker 2: That's what I'm trying to say. I'm trying to get
• 43:58
  Speaker 2: that out. He has warned them just because you're in
• 44:01
  Speaker 2: the leadership doesn't mean you are exempt from accountability and judgment. Now,
• 44:08
  Speaker 2: that's something that we really need to remember. Whatever influence
• 44:16
  Speaker 2: God has given you, use it wisely. If you're a parent,
• 44:22
  Speaker 2: lead your children with love. If you're a pastor, serve
• 44:27
  Speaker 2: your congregation. If you're a business owner, treat people fairly.
• 44:32
  Speaker 2: If you're a minister, don't use people to build your platform.
• 44:41
  Speaker 2: If you're an artist, think about what you're putting into
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: people's hearts. If you have a microphone, remember that somebody
• 44:54
  Speaker 2: is listening. And if God has given you influence, remember
• 44:59
  Speaker 2: influence is responsibility. Don't just ask God to increase your platform.
• 45:05
  Speaker 2: Ask him to increase your character. Don't just ask him
• 45:10
  Speaker 2: for more followers. Ask him to make you more faithful.
• 45:17
  Speaker 2: Don't just ask him for success. Ask him to help
• 45:22
  Speaker 2: you use success correctly when it finally comes. Because one
• 45:29
  Speaker 2: day we'll all go to give an account for what
• 45:34
  Speaker 2: we've done. and what God has given us. So let
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: us make sure the fruit of our lives honors him
• 45:45
  Speaker 2: above all things. Amen. And remember, it's not about us.
• 45:50
  Speaker 2: It's all about the Christ in us. God bless.
• 46:07
  Speaker 4: You are listening to The Light of Las Vegas. This
• 46:10
  Speaker 4: is the HizHop Radio Show.
