0:16
Speaker 1: in with your host, mister His Hop.
0:26
Speaker 2: Are of the headquarters. Hello, His Hop Los Vegas. One Yo, Yo,
0:55
Speaker 2: what's up? What's up? Family? Welcome back to His High Radio.
0:59
Speaker 2: Pie cast presents verse by verse where we get into
1:03
Speaker 2: the Word of God and study it one passage at
1:07
Speaker 2: a time. Today we're moving into Jeremiah chapter nineteen, and
1:13
Speaker 2: we're gonna take it from verse one to verse four.
1:17
Speaker 2: Now we've been watching Jeremiah delivers some very difficult messages
1:22
Speaker 2: to Judah. The chapter eighteen, God used the picture of
1:25
Speaker 2: a potter in the clay. The vessel was marred, but
1:31
Speaker 2: God had the authority to reshape it into whatever purpose
1:36
Speaker 2: that he desired as long as they would repent. But
1:42
Speaker 2: now chapter nineteen takes a message to another level. God
1:46
Speaker 2: is going to give Jeremiah an object lesson involving a
1:51
Speaker 2: potter's earthen bottle. And this time the picture isn't about reshaping.
2:00
Speaker 2: This bottle is going to be broken. So God is
2:05
Speaker 2: showing Judah that there comes a point when continued rebellion
2:12
Speaker 2: has consequences. So today's lesson is about what happens when
2:20
Speaker 2: people repeatedly reject God's correction and refuse to turn around. Now,
2:27
Speaker 2: there needs to be a healthy fear of God in
2:31
Speaker 2: our lives. We can't continue to have these ungodly attitudes
2:36
Speaker 2: and actions and words and consistently disregard His instructions. No,
2:43
Speaker 2: we have to be careful and to be intentional about
2:47
Speaker 2: our walk and relationship with God. Amen. All right, Well,
2:51
Speaker 2: as we drop jump into this, we also want you
2:55
Speaker 2: to join us in our life chat. In order to
2:59
Speaker 2: do that, all yeah to do is download the his
3:01
Speaker 2: Hot radio app Hishop on all platforms and once you
3:07
Speaker 2: download the app, go to the top left menu, hit
3:10
Speaker 2: that drop down and register and that life chat. It
3:14
Speaker 2: is a place where we can hold each other accountable,
3:17
Speaker 2: pray for each other, we get interact. This is where
3:21
Speaker 2: we do our trivia challenge and that's where we just
3:26
Speaker 2: stay in fellowship. You know, it's important to figure out
3:32
Speaker 2: the people that are in your life, and it's important
3:36
Speaker 2: to look at the end of the world, where are
3:38
Speaker 2: they leading you? What direction. Are you guys walking towards right?
3:45
Speaker 2: Either you're on the narrow path at least a life,
3:48
Speaker 2: or you're on that broad road that leads to destruction. Well,
3:52
Speaker 2: this podcast is for those who want to walk that
3:56
Speaker 2: narrow path, and so we just want to fellowship with
3:59
Speaker 2: you and walk that path together. So meet us in
4:02
Speaker 2: a life chat. That is one of the reasons why
4:05
Speaker 2: we have the Accountability Partner segment. Because our hearts can
4:09
Speaker 2: be so deceptive. The Bible calls us dumb sheep right
4:14
Speaker 2: when it comes to spiritual things. We do not know
4:17
Speaker 2: what we do, and a lot of us go right
4:19
Speaker 2: to destruction because we allow our hearts to deceive us
4:24
Speaker 2: because we don't stay in the Word. That's why we
4:29
Speaker 2: go verse by verse. Once you're in the Word, you
4:32
Speaker 2: cannot be deceived. Amen. All right, let's go before our
4:36
Speaker 2: Father and prayer. Mean Father, We thank you, Father God,
4:39
Speaker 2: for another opportunity to serve you, to love you, to
4:43
Speaker 2: worship and praise you, and to walk in your presence.
4:47
Speaker 2: We ask for your blessing upon this podcast. We ask,
4:50
Speaker 2: O Lord, that it will nourish our souls. O God,
4:54
Speaker 2: touch our hearts and our spirits. We thank you, Oh God.
4:58
Speaker 2: For every opportunity that you've given us us the mighty
5:01
Speaker 2: name of Jesus Amen. And yeah, real quick, before we

Speaker 2: fifty to fifty raffle. And we think inch and every
6:36
Speaker 2: one of you for joining in and for participating. All right, well,
6:44
Speaker 2: let's get into it, Jeremiah. It looks like you lost
6:48
Speaker 2: another one. Chapter nineteen is awesome to jump into a
6:53
Speaker 2: whole new chapter. We are moving through this book. Before
6:57
Speaker 2: you know it, we will be finished with the whole
7:00
Speaker 2: other book. God has graced us to understand his word,
7:09
Speaker 2: and so, hey man, we do not take that lightly.
7:13
Speaker 2: So verse one it says, thus says the Lord, go
7:17
Speaker 2: and get a potter's earthen flask, and take some of
7:23
Speaker 2: the elders of the people and some of the elders
7:27
Speaker 2: of the priest. Okay, let me break down verse one. Now,
7:34
Speaker 2: go get a potter's earthen bottle some translation, or a
7:41
Speaker 2: flask or a bottle. Right here, God tells you, Almighty,
7:45
Speaker 2: to go and purchase an earthen bottle from the potter.
7:49
Speaker 2: Then God tells him to take some of the elders
7:53
Speaker 2: and priests with him. Now, this isn't going to be
7:58
Speaker 2: a private conversation, right, God wants witnesses right here. Now,
8:05
Speaker 2: Jeremiah's going to demonstrate something in a public way. Hey man,
8:13
Speaker 2: this has got to be public. The whole nation, the
8:16
Speaker 2: whole city, needs to understand this. Now. The potter's bottle
8:24
Speaker 2: is an object lesson here. God is a great teacher, Jesus,
8:29
Speaker 2: who was the greatest teacher on the planet. Right, and
8:33
Speaker 2: he knows how to use object lessons and parables. He
8:40
Speaker 2: has creative ways to express truth. Now, unlike the clay
8:46
Speaker 2: in the potter's hand in verse eighteen, which could be reshaped,
8:51
Speaker 2: the bottle in chapter nineteen represents a vessel that has
8:56
Speaker 2: been formed en hardened. Right, the bottle has been formed
9:05
Speaker 2: and the bottle has been hardened. Now, once the hardened
9:09
Speaker 2: vessel is deliberately broken, it cannot simply be returned to
9:17
Speaker 2: its original condition. Let me say that again. Once the
9:24
Speaker 2: hardened vessel is deliberately broken, it cannot be simply returned
9:32
Speaker 2: to its original condition. Now, that is a powerful contrast
9:37
Speaker 2: right there. Jeremiah eighteen talks about clay on the potter's
9:43
Speaker 2: wheel that can be reshaped. There we go to Jeremiah
9:48
Speaker 2: nineteen talks about a hardened bottle is going to be broken.
9:57
Speaker 2: Now here's the lesson. God is patient, and God will
10:02
Speaker 2: give warnings after warnings, and God gives the opportunity for
10:07
Speaker 2: us to repent. But we should never confess, I mean
10:13
Speaker 2: not confessed, but we should never confuse the patience of
10:17
Speaker 2: God with permission to live a life and continue to rebellion.
10:26
Speaker 2: There can come a point where the consequences will knock
10:32
Speaker 2: will be knocking on our doors. Amen, if we don't
10:36
Speaker 2: get it right. That's why it's important to talk to
10:40
Speaker 2: our loved ones, our family members, our friends. It is
10:46
Speaker 2: important to get the word out. All right, Let's jump
10:50
Speaker 2: to verse two and go out to the valley of
10:54
Speaker 2: the son of Hinnemon, which is by the entry of
10:59
Speaker 2: the posh Posher's Gate. I mean, excuse me, Potshar's Gate,
11:07
Speaker 2: the Potshar. We're gonna break that down in a minute
11:11
Speaker 2: and proclaim they're the words that I will tell you,
11:19
Speaker 2: all right. Verse two. Now God tells Jeremiah to take
11:25
Speaker 2: the elders to the valley of the son of Henman,
11:30
Speaker 2: near the entrance of the Potshar's Gate. Now, this was
11:36
Speaker 2: not a random location. It was associated with some of
11:44
Speaker 2: the darkest practices that had taken place among Judah, amongst
11:51
Speaker 2: the city. God was bringing Jeremiah directly to a place
12:00
Speaker 2: that represented the spiritual corruption of the people. He was
12:06
Speaker 2: not shrinking back at all. Sometimes God doesn't hide the
12:12
Speaker 2: consequences from us. He wants us to see exactly where
12:16
Speaker 2: our consequences have taken us. Now you can look at
12:24
Speaker 2: your life and sometimes identify the places where a series
12:29
Speaker 2: of bad decisions brought you. And God's correction isn't designed
12:35
Speaker 2: to simply to make you feel bad. It's designed to
12:39
Speaker 2: make us wake up, hey man. So that was the
12:45
Speaker 2: place the pod shies place was a place of total darkness,
12:51
Speaker 2: total corruption, where they would They probably thought they were
12:56
Speaker 2: doing it on the download, like nobody saw them or
12:59
Speaker 2: God didn't care. But God is gonna put them right
13:04
Speaker 2: on blast and go right to the place where all
13:09
Speaker 2: this wickedness is happening. Verse three, And say here the
13:16
Speaker 2: word of the Lord o Kings of Judah, inhabitants of Jerusalem.
13:22
Speaker 2: Thus says the Lord of Hosts, the God of Israel. Behold,
13:31
Speaker 2: I will bring such a catastrophe on this place that
13:38
Speaker 2: whoever hears of it. His ears will tingle. Wow, I
13:49
Speaker 2: will bring evil upon this place. Now let that sink
13:58
Speaker 2: in for a second. Let that fall into you your spirit.
14:02
Speaker 2: God tells Jeremiah to proclaim a message. Hear ye, the
14:08
Speaker 2: word of the Lord. And then here comes the warning.
14:13
Speaker 2: God says he's going to bring calamity upon that place.
14:21
Speaker 2: The judgment will be so severe that people hearing it
14:26
Speaker 2: about it will be astonished. Now, notice something important here
14:34
Speaker 2: before judgment comes the word, Here comes a word of
14:38
Speaker 2: the Lord.
14:41
Speaker 3: Right.
14:42
Speaker 2: God doesn't simply bring destruction without a warning. He speaks
14:49
Speaker 2: about it. First. He sends the prophet. He gives them
15:00
Speaker 2: an opportunity to hear the message. That tells us somethings
15:07
Speaker 2: about I mean, Dad tells us something about guy's character.
15:13
Speaker 2: He warned. His warnings are an expression of his mercy
15:22
Speaker 2: when he warns us, that is our chance to avoid
15:28
Speaker 2: judgment and to avoid the devastation and to avoid the
15:33
Speaker 2: destruction that our rebellion deserves. Be love it, we deserves it.
15:41
Speaker 2: The Bible says that the wages of sin is death. Now,
15:49
Speaker 2: if God warns you that you're heading towards destruction, that's
15:56
Speaker 2: not God giving up on you. God giving you an
16:01
Speaker 2: opportunity to turn it around. Amen, turned it around. I
16:08
Speaker 2: was actually in a place in my life where I
16:11
Speaker 2: received a word of destruction. I fell into sexual immorality
16:16
Speaker 2: and beloved. I'm not proud about it. I have a
16:21
Speaker 2: whole testimony. I need to come out with a book.
16:25
Speaker 2: But I was in this situation that was very hurtful
16:33
Speaker 2: and I didn't know how to handle it. You know,
16:35
Speaker 2: this is when I was younger in my faith, and
16:43
Speaker 2: God told me, he said, look, if you go back
16:46
Speaker 2: into that sin, sexual immorality, you're not going to make
16:49
Speaker 2: it out like you're done. He was gonna take me
16:54
Speaker 2: off this earth. And I heard that. I repented and
17:02
Speaker 2: I turned around. I'm like, Okay, this is it. This
17:05
Speaker 2: is enough for me that I knew enough about God
17:08
Speaker 2: to take him serious at his word. And so we
17:15
Speaker 2: have to discern where we are right. We have to
17:19
Speaker 2: have a healthy fear of God in our lives. There's
17:23
Speaker 2: been a lot of pastors and ministers who fell into
17:27
Speaker 2: this very same sin, and a lot of them didn't
17:32
Speaker 2: make it out. And it's that they didn't love God.
17:36
Speaker 2: I mean, you could possibly like I loved the Lord,
17:39
Speaker 2: I did, I love God. You can love God with
17:42
Speaker 2: all your heart. But the problem is you don't fear God.
17:47
Speaker 2: If we don't fear God, the Bible says the fear
17:50
Speaker 2: of the Lord is what makes a man depart from evil.
17:55
Speaker 2: And a lot of people don't even know to fear
17:57
Speaker 2: God because they don't read books like Jeremiah. They don't
18:04
Speaker 2: understand that eventually they're gonna suffer consequences if they live
18:10
Speaker 2: a life of rebellion against His word. Love it. Let's
18:15
Speaker 2: not look at Judah and think that, oh, this is
18:19
Speaker 2: a story that is about three thousand years old. It
18:21
Speaker 2: doesn't apply to me. I can't relate to it. No,
18:25
Speaker 2: this can very well apply to your life today, to
18:29
Speaker 2: my life today. This could be are you living a
18:32
Speaker 2: lifestyle like Judah. Are you the one smoking and drinking
18:37
Speaker 2: even after you listen to this podcast, going to go
18:40
Speaker 2: out and fornicate or commit adultery. Are you the one
18:45
Speaker 2: lying and cheating and stealing money money from your employees
18:50
Speaker 2: or your employer, or are you thinking that the only
18:55
Speaker 2: way that you can get ahead is if you participate
18:58
Speaker 2: with the corruption that is in this world system. Maybe
19:05
Speaker 2: this is your warning. Maybe God is warning you. This
19:09
Speaker 2: could be your last warning before God takes you off
19:13
Speaker 2: this planet. It could very well be so right. If
19:21
Speaker 2: God did it in the Bible, what makes you think
19:25
Speaker 2: He won't do it now to us? And so that's
19:31
Speaker 2: why we have to apply this word to our lives.
19:35
Speaker 2: This is why we have to be students of God's word.
19:41
Speaker 2: We got to confront every lie with the truth. All Right,
19:50
Speaker 2: belove it, Let's take a break.
19:55
Speaker 4: You are listening to the light of Las Vegas. This
19:59
Speaker 4: is the Hiss Hop radio show.
20:04
Speaker 3: Hey, yeah, yeah, we got your pastor, Sonny Love. I
20:12
Speaker 3: feel I'm called to reach the loss like Sonny Arguzoni. Okay,
20:18
Speaker 3: I feel I'm called to reach the loss like Sonny
20:20
Speaker 3: argon Yeah, Love Love Love. I feel I'm called to
20:24
Speaker 3: reach the loss like Sonny Organzoni.
20:26
Speaker 2: I know which comes with repercussion.
20:27
Speaker 3: Put that target on me for yo, why I crossed
20:29
Speaker 3: my heart? I got it tagged on me. Who the
20:31
Speaker 3: thought the rejects of society would have an army? Hey,
20:34
Speaker 3: this is Heaven's army. Because we ain't start the vision.
20:36
Speaker 3: Pastor Sunny trusted God the Father to impart the Vision
20:39
Speaker 3: church on Glad Street. But people everywhere will start to listen,
20:41
Speaker 3: in fact, make global impact. It won't be hard to
20:44
Speaker 3: miss him. He preached the word of God from Genesis,
20:46
Speaker 3: the revelation, development of God, and sent them off into
20:49
Speaker 3: the nations, even at eighty five, still serving God with dedication.
20:52
Speaker 3: I'm sure he's getting five crowns at that coronation. I mean,
20:55
Speaker 3: he pioneered the pioneering generation, and God was faithful.
20:58
Speaker 2: He rose up to Joshua.
21:00
Speaker 3: Generation nineteen ninety three, there was God's anointed. Now generation. Hey,
21:03
Speaker 3: we're gonna talk about this man of God, but generation
21:05
Speaker 3: third way, third way, third way. It's kind of get
21:08
Speaker 3: in line. We've been charged with so much more to do.
21:10
Speaker 3: The vision isn't dying has to sunny party kept the
21:12
Speaker 3: faith until the finished line, the least that I could
21:14
Speaker 3: do it immutat until I finished mind. Faith, faith, bathe,
21:17
Speaker 3: bathe faith. Mabe, we gonna miss you, truly. Your life
21:19
Speaker 3: went far beyond the story they told.
21:21
Speaker 5: In the movie.
21:21
Speaker 4: Because of you.
21:22
Speaker 3: We see this as a privilege, not like it's a duty.
21:24
Speaker 3: You could count on us to keep on praying. Lift
21:26
Speaker 3: his sister, Judy, You'll be forever in our hearts, and
21:29
Speaker 3: we appreciate the sacrifices made for a lot of us
21:31
Speaker 3: to be here today. Hey, there's gonna come a day
21:33
Speaker 3: where God wipes every tier away, and I wholeheartedly believe
21:36
Speaker 3: that's soon we all gonna see that day. The Argans
21:38
Speaker 3: Only family helped change the lives of many. They carry
21:41
Speaker 3: wait so well as seasons if it is and heavy,
21:43
Speaker 3: because of how they labor. We go into every season ready.
21:45
Speaker 3: Without what they do behind the scenes, we wouldn't be
21:48
Speaker 3: the steady this ministry was worth in prayer. We're gonna
21:50
Speaker 3: have to pray, promise that the promise. So we gotta
21:52
Speaker 3: do is walk in faith. If yesterday looks big, that
21:54
Speaker 3: means that we ain't done enough today. Memorable statements that
21:57
Speaker 3: Pastor Sunny would love to say. We had to learn
22:00
Speaker 3: to understand the language of a giant. I love the
22:02
Speaker 3: way he held out faith more than a dozen times.
22:04
Speaker 3: That's radiy gull as they would come as passion wasn't
22:06
Speaker 3: down before the promise, even king a past you knew
22:09
Speaker 3: he was in lyne united women in ministry, mighty men
22:12
Speaker 3: of valor. It's time for us to take our place,
22:14
Speaker 3: not time for us the coward. We're living in the
22:16
Speaker 3: final days more like the final hour. Final impartation that
22:19
Speaker 3: he gave us came with fign power. He told us
22:21
Speaker 3: that it was our time and God would meet his
22:22
Speaker 3: people the torches ours, that we could be or not
22:25
Speaker 3: be a believer. And if you're bullish enough that you
22:27
Speaker 3: will believe with us. And Pastor son he said, welcome
22:30
Speaker 3: to the Believers Club. Yeah yeah, Believers Club. Pastor Sonny said,
22:35
Speaker 3: welcome to the Believer's Club. Yeah yeah, you're a Leaver's club.
22:39
Speaker 3: Pastor son He said, welcome to the Believers Club.
22:41
Speaker 5: Riding with my sword. I was raised by some generals
22:44
Speaker 5: training the vision kidd and I never let it go
22:47
Speaker 5: trash out of darkness.
22:48
Speaker 2: We bring healing like his medical pull up to the kettle,
22:50
Speaker 2: push the cost, but we.
22:51
Speaker 5: Gonna let him know that Jesus is the answer.
22:53
Speaker 2: You could come and join the ministry. He oh ay,
22:56
Speaker 2: you could come and.
22:56
Speaker 4: Make some history.
22:57
Speaker 5: This is what God did for me. He saved me
22:59
Speaker 5: from the while you think I'm outside with his springing victory,
23:03
Speaker 5: I reached third wave christ Rose, third day, put up
23:06
Speaker 5: to the Hong. I resurrected on my dirt Grave Speard
23:08
Speaker 5: really hit me. God was moving on the first day,
23:11
Speaker 5: dancing like David Bye, Holy Ghost Thirst Day Testa, We
23:14
Speaker 5: salute you the vessel God, moved through eighty five, still
23:17
Speaker 5: believe in God for a new move, never got complacent,
23:20
Speaker 5: kept the vision racing. I'm thankful for this soul winning vision.
23:23
Speaker 5: I was racing, strap up my books and put my
23:25
Speaker 5: fist on.
23:26
Speaker 2: Wait, I don't need to put on what was left on.
23:29
Speaker 2: If me and eg start flowing on the.
23:31
Speaker 5: Next song, you'll hear the vision pumping every single track
23:34
Speaker 5: that we stepped off onto the tenth of me, stumping
23:37
Speaker 5: on the end of me, troop to the legacy, Go
23:39
Speaker 5: where God send to me.
23:41
Speaker 2: I got a kiss on the wear stool. My family
23:43
Speaker 2: had a family because of you.
23:46
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, Believers Club patter Sonny said, Welcome to the
23:50
Speaker 3: Believers Club. Yeah yeah, Believers Club. Pastor Sonny said, welcome
23:55
Speaker 3: to the Believers Club.
24:08
Speaker 4: You are listening to the light of Las Vegas. This
24:12
Speaker 4: is the Hiss Hop radio show.
24:31
Speaker 2: Yo yo, we are back from the break that was
24:35
Speaker 2: e g R. Giving a shout out and given homage
24:39
Speaker 2: to Pastor Sonny, the founder of Victory Outreach. I tell
24:45
Speaker 2: you it's awesome to be under the covering of a
24:49
Speaker 2: great leader, under the covering of a man where God
24:53
Speaker 2: has used to touch a generation and we're looking for
24:58
Speaker 2: that even now you know what I mean. Where are
25:01
Speaker 2: the leaders today that are leading our nation back to God? Amen?
25:08
Speaker 2: Those are the ministries, Those are the men that we
25:12
Speaker 2: need to support and we need to back up. We
25:15
Speaker 2: need to all join that Believers Club. Amen, Isla Lujah.
25:22
Speaker 2: Shout out to Voh. I've worked with them, They've supported
25:26
Speaker 2: the club on numerous of times, and I'm still working
25:30
Speaker 2: with them today. As a matter of fact, they are
25:35
Speaker 2: the ones that helped me get into the juvenile detention
25:38
Speaker 2: center the times I've been able to go down there.
25:42
Speaker 2: And Minister Amen. Now, I know normally this is where
25:50
Speaker 2: the accountability partner set me jumps in, but since we
25:54
Speaker 2: only went over like reversus, I want to break down
26:00
Speaker 2: one more time and then we'll get into the accountability
26:04
Speaker 2: partner segment. Now, the big lesson here is don't become hardened. Right.
26:14
Speaker 2: Jeremiah one through three gives us a powerful warning about
26:17
Speaker 2: spiritual hardness. In other words, when people say, do not
26:22
Speaker 2: harden your heart towards God, and the way we can
26:27
Speaker 2: hearten our hearts towards God is we can become offended.
26:32
Speaker 2: The devil is an opportunist. He loves it when we
26:35
Speaker 2: hold on to offenses. Yes, this world is evil, Yes,
26:40
Speaker 2: this is a cold place to be. Sometimes people are
26:43
Speaker 2: gonna do us wrong, They're gonna do us dirty. Things
26:47
Speaker 2: are gonna happen. I imagine that there are innocent people in
26:52
Speaker 2: Judah that didn't want to go the way of idolatry
26:58
Speaker 2: and the way the king and the way that society
27:01
Speaker 2: was moving. But somehow, maybe they got offended. Maybe they
27:05
Speaker 2: took one of their siblings, their brothers or sisters and
27:09
Speaker 2: killed them, sacrifice them to bow, you know what I mean.
27:13
Speaker 2: And maybe that hardened their hearts. Maybe they're so bitter
27:17
Speaker 2: and angry they couldn't get over it. Then they ended
27:21
Speaker 2: up missing God. I mean, that could happen. I'm thinking
27:24
Speaker 2: about my own family. You know, there's been a lot
27:27
Speaker 2: of generational curses. There's been a lot of stuff going
27:31
Speaker 2: on in my family line. But I choose to forgive.
27:35
Speaker 2: I am not going to be bitter towards my mom
27:38
Speaker 2: or my siblings, or my auntie or anyone like that.
27:41
Speaker 2: And I'm going to love them with the strength that
27:44
Speaker 2: God gives me to love them, and I'm going to
27:46
Speaker 2: share the truth. And man refused to allow. I even
27:52
Speaker 2: have a song that I dedicated to my daughter called
27:57
Speaker 2: Mika's Dance, And in the song at the end it says,
28:00
Speaker 2: do not harden your heart on life when people let
28:05
Speaker 2: you down right, there's going to be a better day.
28:10
Speaker 2: Mikas sped your love around. We have to continuously have
28:14
Speaker 2: an attitude of love and forgiveness. This is the will
28:17
Speaker 2: of God for us. And I know it's not going
28:19
Speaker 2: to be easy and not going to be hard. But
28:22
Speaker 2: God promised to walk with us and to help us. Amen.
28:29
Speaker 2: And so God had been warning Judah repeatedly. He spent
28:35
Speaker 2: time teaching and training up his profits. He sent this
28:39
Speaker 2: prophet to Judah. He gave them his word. He called
28:46
Speaker 2: them to repent that they continue down the same path.
28:52
Speaker 2: And now Jeremiah is standing in a valley of him
28:56
Speaker 2: men holding a bottle that represents what is coming now.
29:02
Speaker 2: The warning is simple, don't wait until consequences force you
29:06
Speaker 2: to change. If God is correcting you today, spawn today,
29:12
Speaker 2: don't wait until tomorrow. And if he's showing you something
29:17
Speaker 2: that needs to change, don't push it off. If God's
29:22
Speaker 2: telling you to forgive, forgive. If he's telling you to
29:25
Speaker 2: stop something, stop it. If he's telling you to start something,
29:30
Speaker 2: start it. If he's telling you to come back to him.
29:35
Speaker 2: Come back to him. Hey, man, our commitment to God
29:45
Speaker 2: is what is going to assure us of our salvation.
29:50
Speaker 2: Jesus says, abide in me, and if I abide in you,
30:00
Speaker 2: then you will bear much fruit and you will enter
30:04
Speaker 2: the kingdom. Amen. All right. I wanted to spend a
30:09
Speaker 2: little more time on that before we went into the
30:11
Speaker 2: accountability partner segment. Now, the challenge today this week is
30:16
Speaker 2: as your accountability partner, is there an area of your
30:20
Speaker 2: life where you think you've been ignoring God's correction and
30:26
Speaker 2: then go do something difficult? Listen without becoming defensive. Your
30:33
Speaker 2: accountability partner isn't there to condemn you. They're there to
30:38
Speaker 2: help you see well, you might not be able to
30:42
Speaker 2: see yourself. We all have blind spots. Amen. Pray about
30:48
Speaker 2: what they tell you, what they minister to you, and
30:52
Speaker 2: if God confirms it, make the change. Amen. We are
30:58
Speaker 2: able to change. That's one beautiful thing that God is.
31:02
Speaker 2: The gift that God has given us, the ability to
31:04
Speaker 2: change our ways. A lot of us think it's a joke,
31:09
Speaker 2: or a lot of us think we have all the
31:10
Speaker 2: time in the world to do so, but we don't.
31:15
Speaker 2: We are here to establish an intimate relationship with God,
31:21
Speaker 2: and we got to be willing to lay down any
31:23
Speaker 2: treasure to seek Him and to pay any cost to
31:28
Speaker 2: be in His presence on a daily basis. Amen. That
31:32
Speaker 2: is what life is all about, your relationship with your
31:35
Speaker 2: heavenly Father through Jesus Christ, and to be empowered by
31:41
Speaker 2: the Holy Spirit. Amen. Also want to let you know

32:56
Speaker 2: that kind of dropped in our laps, we didn't really
32:58
Speaker 2: have opportunity to promoted. To be honest, I didn't know
33:01
Speaker 2: what it was until I got there. But we went
33:04
Speaker 2: to this recreation center last week. It was a nonprofit
33:09
Speaker 2: day where a bunch of nonprofits came together to offer
33:13
Speaker 2: their services and to talk about what they got going. Well.
33:19
Speaker 2: We had her table, we were able to represent, we
33:21
Speaker 2: had the opportunity to minister there. We made people aware
33:27
Speaker 2: of our raffle, our monthly raffle that we're going to
33:30
Speaker 2: do on a monthly basis, and also our football challenge
33:34
Speaker 2: that we got going. We were able to make people
33:37
Speaker 2: aware of those things. And also we were talking about
33:43
Speaker 2: our our youth programs that we had. My wife was there,
33:48
Speaker 2: she was able to explain the youth program. We had
33:51
Speaker 2: a whole table to display to walk people through. We've
33:55
Speaker 2: had some of our paintings from our money as she
33:59
Speaker 2: raffled off. And then also we brought out three sixty
34:02
Speaker 2: booth there so people can experience that. So it was
34:07
Speaker 2: a fun time. It was a blessed time. And our
34:11
Speaker 2: next event is at the Resort World right there on
34:18
Speaker 2: the Las Vegas Strip. I believe this will be the
34:20
Speaker 2: first time that I personally would be on the strip
34:24
Speaker 2: and we're actually going to have a great time there.
34:29
Speaker 2: It's right next to Circus Circus. If you've never been

35:34
Speaker 2: that His Hot Nation is a nonprofit organization. We opened
35:39
Speaker 2: a Christian club in twenty twelve. We are able to
35:42
Speaker 2: run it for seven years. Twenty eighteen we had to
35:46
Speaker 2: vacate the building, but we do pray and believe that
35:51
Speaker 2: God wants us to continue this ministry, but we're asking
35:56
Speaker 2: for help from our family, our community. That's why you
36:00
Speaker 2: became a nonprofit organization to help us sustain a new building,
36:03
Speaker 2: a new location. We need another headquarters, a place where
36:07
Speaker 2: we can do our youth programs and impact the community.
36:11
Speaker 2: If you believe in what God is doing, if you
36:13
Speaker 2: see God's hand on his ministry, if God has blessed you,
36:17
Speaker 2: we ask you to sew into the good ground. You
36:20
Speaker 2: are sowing into the kingdom, and it's a tax write
36:26
Speaker 2: off for you. We can write it off on your taxes.
36:32
Speaker 2: All you have to do is go to our website
36:34

36:40
Speaker 2: Nation dot org to get more information there. If you
36:45
Speaker 2: want to become a monthly supporter, monthly donor if you
36:49
Speaker 2: know of any grants or grant writers that can assist us,
36:55
Speaker 2: that's where you go. All right, belove it, Get ready
37:05
Speaker 2: for the Bible Trivia challenge. Shout out to our brothers
37:08
Speaker 2: Zone three who's been holding us down. Shout out to
37:13
Speaker 2: all those who are in the Life chat. We appreciate y'all.
37:18
Speaker 2: Now you know how this goes. Be the first one
37:20
Speaker 2: to answer the question correctly, and you will become the
37:25
Speaker 2: trivia champion for today. So there's a challenge. As always,
37:30
Speaker 2: I'm giving you the scripture reference so you can look
37:33
Speaker 2: it up yourself. And Jeremiah in nineteen one and two,
37:37
Speaker 2: read those verses carefully and then answer this question. The
37:41
Speaker 2: two groups of people did God specifically tells Jeremiah to
37:45
Speaker 2: take with him when he went to the Potter's house
37:50
Speaker 2: to the valley of the Son of Henman. Open your Bible,
37:54
Speaker 2: read the passage, find then answer, and remember his Hot
38:01
Speaker 2: Trivia champion is announced every week on his Hot radio podcast.
38:05
Speaker 2: So study the word, take the challenge, and become the champion,
38:11
Speaker 2: and shout out to a brother Zone three for holding
38:14
Speaker 2: it down. So as we close out, I just want
38:22
Speaker 2: to say that God had been patient with Judah. He'd
38:30
Speaker 2: spoken to them, he had warned them, and he'd called
38:34
Speaker 2: them to repent, but they continue to reject him. Now
38:41
Speaker 2: Jeremiah is standing in a place that represents their rebellion,
38:47
Speaker 2: holding a vessel that represents what happens when something becomes hardened.
38:55
Speaker 2: There's a difference between being broken and being hardened. Broken
39:00
Speaker 2: clay can still be reshaped, but a hardened vessel can
39:07
Speaker 2: will only be shattered and broken to pieces. Now here's
39:11
Speaker 2: your question. What condition is your heart in? Are you
39:15
Speaker 2: still allowing God to shape you? Are you still willing
39:20
Speaker 2: to receive correction? Are you still willing to say, Lord,
39:24
Speaker 2: change me? Don't wait for the consequences, beloved. If God
39:31
Speaker 2: is still speaking to you today, respawn today, because the
39:36
Speaker 2: greatest blessing isn't getting God to change his mind. The
39:40
Speaker 2: greatest blessing is allowing God to change us. So we
39:46
Speaker 2: need to stay humble, stay teachable, stay in the word,
39:49
Speaker 2: and when God puts his finger or something under your life,
39:53
Speaker 2: do not ignore him. Play man all right, belove it.
40:01
Speaker 2: We're gonna pick it up on our next episode. In
40:03
Speaker 2: verse four, so go ahead and read ahead. We started
40:07
Speaker 2: a whole new book. This chapter is very different from
40:11
Speaker 2: the chapter we just read. We appreciate y'all, We love y'all,
40:15
Speaker 2: and remember it's not about us, It's all about the
40:19
Speaker 2: Christ in us, God Blood.
40:31
Speaker 4: You are listening to the light of Las Vegas. This
40:34
Speaker 4: is the Hiss Hop Radio show.
