4:04
Speaker 3: Heavenly Father, we thank you for waging us up another day,
4:10
Speaker 3: another chance, another opportunity to get right, another opportunity to
4:13
Speaker 3: preach a word, another opportunity to advance your kingdom. We
4:17
Speaker 3: ask for your blessings upon this podcast. Let it be
4:21
Speaker 3: used as a tool or a weapon in your hand, Father,
4:25
Speaker 3: that you would be glorified magnified in it. Father, and
4:29
Speaker 3: we ask O God, that you'll bless the hearers, O God,
4:32
Speaker 3: and that Oh Lord, the hearers, Oh God, will be
4:35
Speaker 3: able to share this podcast with others. Not be discouraged,
4:39
Speaker 3: but to know God that this can be the difference
4:43
Speaker 3: between someone making it into the kingdom and someone not
4:48
Speaker 3: making it into the kingdom. This is our father's business.
4:52
Speaker 3: We thank you Father in the mighty name of Jesus.
4:56
Speaker 3: Amen and Amen, hallelujah. Well Jeremiah. We are in the
5:04
Speaker 3: beginning book of Jeremiah. They covered the first chapter. We
5:10
Speaker 3: are in the second chapter, and we have seen the
5:14
Speaker 3: heartbreak of Almighty God asking a question, what have I done?
5:21
Speaker 3: What is my iniquities? That your fathers walked away from me?
5:25
Speaker 3: That they were not faithful to me? And if you
5:29
Speaker 3: look around, no nation ever forsakes they're God. Have you
5:33
Speaker 3: seen a Buddhist? Right, have you seen a Hindu? Have
5:37
Speaker 3: you seen these other nations just start worshiping a whole
5:41
Speaker 3: nother God. We don't see that. But the nation of
5:46
Speaker 3: Israel did. They forsook their God for other gods. And
5:51
Speaker 3: so God was making this point. It was a heart plea.
5:55
Speaker 3: He doesn't want to destroy his people. He wants his
5:58
Speaker 3: people to come back. Chapter we saw how our own sin,
6:02
Speaker 3: our own wickedness, will leave the very thing that will
6:08
Speaker 3: judge us and cause us to experience extreme pain and hardship.
6:16
Speaker 3: And I've experienced that myself. It is not fun if
6:20
Speaker 3: you plan to sin. Cancel those plans because there's nothing
6:26
Speaker 3: but heartbreak after that. And now that leads us to
6:34
Speaker 3: chapter two, verse twenty, And I'm coming at you from
6:37
Speaker 3: the new King, James, and it says, for of old,
6:43
Speaker 3: I have broken your yoke and burst your bonds, and
6:47
Speaker 3: you said I will not transgress, when on every high heel,
6:55
Speaker 3: under every green tree you lay down plane the Hartlets
7:00
Speaker 3: Now see, look, this is the heart of God, and
7:03
Speaker 3: how the heart of God breaks when we're not faithful
7:06
Speaker 3: to him. And also right here God reminds Israel that
7:10
Speaker 3: he delivered them and broke their chains and set them
7:16
Speaker 3: free from bondage. Yet after being delivered, they turned right
7:21
Speaker 3: back to idolatry and spiritual adultery. Now the high heel
7:30
Speaker 3: in the green grass, where locations were idle worship took place.
7:34
Speaker 3: Instead of remaining faithful to God, the people gave themselves
7:40
Speaker 3: to false gods and to their own sinful desires. Does
7:45
Speaker 3: that sound familiar a man? Now? Israel continually experienced the
7:54
Speaker 3: mercy and deliverance of God, yet repeatedly returned to rebellion.
8:02
Speaker 3: God had freedom, but they still chose disobedience. This is heartbreaking,
8:10
Speaker 3: but this also becomes a warning for us today because
8:13
Speaker 3: many people want deliverance without surrender. They want freedom from
8:19
Speaker 3: consequences while still holding onto lifestyles that created the bondage
8:26
Speaker 3: in the first place. Family freedom is more than just
8:31
Speaker 3: your chains falling off. Freedom is learning how to walk
8:37
Speaker 3: differently after you've been set free. See, some people are
8:42
Speaker 3: delivered and they're set free from drug addiction, alcohol addiction,
8:48
Speaker 3: porn addiction. Some people even get delivered from anger, from
8:54
Speaker 3: toxic relationships, or even depression. But if the heart is
9:01
Speaker 3: not fully surrendered to God, the temptation to return to
9:06
Speaker 3: bondage remains. Now, that is deep, that's heavy. Now, Jeremiah
9:14
Speaker 3: shows us that deliverance without obedience can lead right back
9:19
Speaker 3: into captivity. Now, please please take heed to this podcast,
9:25
Speaker 3: Take heed to these scriptures. If God has delivered you
9:29
Speaker 3: from something, learn to yield your heart to the Lord
9:33
Speaker 3: so that you will not turn back. The Bible says
9:36
Speaker 3: that it'll be ten times worse if you go back
9:43
Speaker 3: verse twenty one. Yet I had planted you a noble vine,
9:51
Speaker 3: a seed of highest quality. How then have you turned
9:56
Speaker 3: before me into the degenerate plant of an alien vine.
10:07
Speaker 3: Now let's break this down. God says that he planted
10:11
Speaker 3: Israel as a noble vine, chosen pure and full of purpose.
10:16
Speaker 3: Yet they became corrupted through compromise and idolatry. God created
10:26
Speaker 3: them for holiness, but they allow the world to reshape them.
10:34
Speaker 3: God gave usual everything necessary to flourish spiritually, But their
10:41
Speaker 3: corruption did not come from God but from their own
10:47
Speaker 3: decisions to turn away from Him. Now this speaks loudly
10:53
Speaker 3: today because compromise slowly changes identity. God planted purpose inside
11:03
Speaker 3: of you. God planted calling inside of you. God even
11:11
Speaker 3: planted gifts and a destiny inside of each and every
11:15
Speaker 3: one of us. But when believers continually mix with sin
11:23
Speaker 3: and play around with worldliness, eventually they stop reflecting the
11:30
Speaker 3: character of Christ. God said in John chapter fifteen that
11:36
Speaker 3: he is the vine, the true vine. The fruit we
11:42
Speaker 3: produce reveals whether we're connected to his vine or not,
11:51
Speaker 3: or are we connected to something else. Examine the fruit
11:58
Speaker 3: in your life, beloved, We need to examine our fruit
12:03
Speaker 3: and see what are we truly producing. Hey Man twenty two.
12:11
Speaker 3: For though you wash yourself with lie and use much soul,
12:18
Speaker 3: yet your iniquity is marked before me, says the Lord. Now,
12:25
Speaker 3: Israel tried to cleanse themselves outwardly, but inwardly their sin remained.
12:34
Speaker 3: God is saying that external religion cannot cover internal rebellion.
12:41
Speaker 3: Let me say that again, external religion cannot cleanse internal rebellion.
12:51
Speaker 3: Our word, appearance, and religious activity cannot remove guilt before God.
12:57
Speaker 3: Only true repentance and a surrendered heart can cleanse our hearts. Amen,
13:06
Speaker 3: let me say that again, only true repentance and surrender
13:11
Speaker 3: can truly cleanse our hearts. We cannot person, We cannot
13:16
Speaker 3: play around with this, beloved. This is very important because
13:22
Speaker 3: many people today focus more on appearance than transformation. People
13:28
Speaker 3: hide themselves and they hide behind church attendants, people hide
13:36
Speaker 3: behind social media Christianity, people use religious language while secretly
13:45
Speaker 3: battling hidden sin. But God sees beyond the appearance. He
13:52
Speaker 3: sees it all. He sees our very hearts. Only Jesus
13:58
Speaker 3: can truly cleanse us from sin. And all God wants
14:02
Speaker 3: is us to be honest. He knows who we are,
14:06
Speaker 3: He knows what we struggle with. The Bible says that
14:09
Speaker 3: Jesus himself was tempted. He knows what it means to
14:14
Speaker 3: be tempted. He just wants us to come to him
14:19
Speaker 3: and confess and to be honest. That's one of the
14:22
Speaker 3: things that is so great about our accountability partner segment
14:27
Speaker 3: here on the podcast, where we learn how to confess
14:31
Speaker 3: our faults and to pray for each other and to expose.
14:34
Speaker 3: Once sin is exposed, it loses its power. But as
14:38
Speaker 3: long as we keep his secret and think we're hiding it,
14:42
Speaker 3: then sin has power over us a man. That's why
14:46
Speaker 3: I confess. I like hearing the light, he says, He
14:50
Speaker 3: tells on himself, like it's a game. Like that's why
14:54
Speaker 3: I confess every chance I get, even on this podcast,
14:58
Speaker 3: like this is not gonna in my heart. Amen. And
15:04
Speaker 3: some people just get it twisted. They just don't understand
15:08
Speaker 3: that confession is there to set us free and to
15:12
Speaker 3: be honest before God, and then God will release his grace.
15:16
Speaker 3: He'll begin to work with us once we are honestly
15:20
Speaker 3: confessing our faults and our sins before him. Amen. It's
15:26
Speaker 3: not about our word. Religious righteousness is inWORD surrender before
15:33
Speaker 3: God verse twenty three. How can you say I am
15:38
Speaker 3: not polluted, I have not gone after the bells. See
15:44
Speaker 3: your way in the valley, Know that you have done,
15:49
Speaker 3: Know what you've done. You are a swift drama dramatary
15:58
Speaker 3: breaking loose in her way. That I said drama dromadary.
16:05
Speaker 3: I don't know if I'm pronouncing that word right, but
16:07
Speaker 3: let's let's break it down. Israel deny their sin while
16:12
Speaker 3: actively living in rebellion. How many of us seen that before?
16:17
Speaker 3: How can we sit there and deny our sin and
16:22
Speaker 3: live in it? How many of us have children, right?
16:26
Speaker 3: How many of us have raised children before we've seen this?
16:30
Speaker 3: They try to deny the very thing they're guilty of.
16:35
Speaker 3: God compares them to a wild caramel running I mean
16:42
Speaker 3: not carmo, excuse me, A wild camel running uncontrollably, symbolizing
16:49
Speaker 3: reckless behavior and a lack of spiritual discipline. So that's
16:56
Speaker 3: what the dramatary is. It's a type of camel, a
17:00
Speaker 3: swift dramtary breaking loose in her ways. Now, repeated sin
17:09
Speaker 3: can blind people spiritually until they no longer recognize their condition.
17:17
Speaker 3: This is sad. One of the most dangerous places spiritually
17:23
Speaker 3: is when conviction disappears. WHOA, let me say that again.
17:29
Speaker 3: One of the most dangerous places spiritually that we could
17:33
Speaker 3: ever be is when we are no longer convicted, when
17:39
Speaker 3: we sin, when compromise starts to feel normal, when sin
17:47
Speaker 3: is no longer doesn't bother you, right, if it doesn't
17:52
Speaker 3: bother you to lie or to cheat, or to steal
17:58
Speaker 3: or lust, When rebellion becomes comfortable. If you're comfortable and
18:04
Speaker 3: you're rebellion, you know you're rebellion against God and you
18:10
Speaker 3: feel comfortable doing it, that is a warning sign that
18:20
Speaker 3: the heart is drifting away from God. We need the
18:25
Speaker 3: Holy Spirit daily to examine our hearts and to convict us. Heymn.
18:32
Speaker 3: This is dangerous, This is so important. I pray that
18:37
Speaker 3: all of us listening to this podcast will really tap
18:40
Speaker 3: into this and let this fall into our spirits. Myself
18:44
Speaker 3: including God, forgive me for allowing your conviction to grow
18:50
Speaker 3: silent in my heart. And every person listening right now,
18:54
Speaker 3: forgive us we repent. Forgive us for compromising, Give us
19:00
Speaker 3: for feeling comfortable in our rebellion. Lord, Please, oh God,
19:05
Speaker 3: do not allow us to drift away. Lord, help us
19:07
Speaker 3: to get it right the areas where we struggle. And
19:12
Speaker 3: Jesus Name, I just had to say a prayer right
19:14
Speaker 3: there that is convicting. Amen. Jeremiah Man, Jeremiah is gonna
19:21
Speaker 3: transform us. Hallelujah. Verse twenty four. Just a couple of
19:25
Speaker 3: verses ago. A wild donkey.
19:31
Speaker 4: Used to be.
19:34
Speaker 3: A wild dunkey used to the wild, used to the
19:38
Speaker 3: wildern and wild donkey used to the wilderness. That stiffens
19:45
Speaker 3: at the wind in her desire. Let me start this
19:50
Speaker 3: over again. Man, I must have got convicted real hard.
19:53
Speaker 3: I can't read. Okay, wild donkey used in the wilderness,
19:58
Speaker 3: that sniffs at the wind in her desire in her
20:03
Speaker 3: time of mating. Who can turn her away? All those
20:08
Speaker 3: who seek her will not worry themselves in her month
20:13
Speaker 3: They will find her. Okay. Now this is pretty deep
20:19
Speaker 3: right here. As while donkey basically it's a female donkey
20:22
Speaker 3: in heat, this verse is strong and it gives the
20:28
Speaker 3: imagery to show us Israel passionately cheating sinful desires and
20:37
Speaker 3: her desires of idolatry against God. Now sin had become
20:47
Speaker 3: instructive and uncontrollable because they continually feed it. Now people
21:03
Speaker 3: continually surrender to the flesh. That is what it's saying, right,
21:11
Speaker 3: Simful desires begin to dominate our lives. If we continuously
21:19
Speaker 3: surrender to our sinful desires, those desires will grow stronger
21:24
Speaker 3: and stronger. Now, this Donkey and keep Right is basically
21:29
Speaker 3: saying that any donkey can come and sleep with her
21:34
Speaker 3: like that's how hungry, that's how passionate her desires became. Now,
21:42
Speaker 3: whatever you continuously feed will grow strong. Do you feed
21:48
Speaker 3: the spirit or do you feed the flesh. If you
21:51
Speaker 3: continually feed lust, anger, pride, compromise, addiction, or bitterness, those
21:59
Speaker 3: desires begin to control your life. That's why spiritual discipline matters.
22:07
Speaker 3: That's why I tell people to meet me daily on
22:13
Speaker 3: this podcast to help them to develop disciplined because without that,
22:21
Speaker 3: we're just gonna fall to our sinful and lustful desires.
22:28
Speaker 3: Spiritual discipline matters. Prayer matters, worship matters, fasting matters, Bible study,
22:35
Speaker 3: reading your word matters, accountability matters. Your flesh cannot be
22:41
Speaker 3: allowed to lead your life. Hey man, let me say
22:45
Speaker 3: that again. Our flesh cannot be allowed to lead our life.
22:52
Speaker 3: We really need to tap into this discipline. A lot
22:56
Speaker 3: of people I could tell. I've talked to people. They said, Oh,
22:59
Speaker 3: I'm gonna show up to the podcasts, Oh, I'm gonna
23:01
Speaker 3: log in, I'm going to meet you there and I'm
23:03
Speaker 3: gonna be in the replay, and then they disappear. And
23:08
Speaker 3: I know what it is. We need to start praying
23:11
Speaker 3: for these people because it's the enemy trying to stop
23:16
Speaker 3: them or prevent them from learning these principles. Because Beloved,
23:24
Speaker 3: I wish I could say that they're getting taught this
23:26
Speaker 3: in churches, but I don't know. I don't know. I
23:30
Speaker 3: don't know if the church is teaching scripture verse by verse,
23:36
Speaker 3: chapter by chapter, getting the word, digging into the meat
23:40
Speaker 3: of the word. I don't know if they're getting this
23:43
Speaker 3: in their daily diet. I don't know if they're even
23:45
Speaker 3: studying the Bible on their own to get this to
23:49
Speaker 3: understand this. Because it's the word that is going to
23:53
Speaker 3: feed their spirit. And so that's why it's really important. Now.
24:01
Speaker 3: I'm not trying to say you need this podcast to
24:03
Speaker 3: serve God. That's not what I'm saying at all. But
24:06
Speaker 3: I'm saying this podcast will help you grow immature. Amen.
24:13
Speaker 3: It picks up the pieces where some of the churches
24:16
Speaker 3: are missing. I'm not saying all the churches. There's churches
24:20
Speaker 3: that are teaching and preaching and they're they're on it.
24:22
Speaker 3: You know. I'm not saying you know at all that
24:27
Speaker 3: we are it on this podcast. No, not at all.
24:31
Speaker 3: There's thriving churches that have never heard of it. But
24:34
Speaker 3: I'm just saying the biblical principle that all churches should
24:38
Speaker 3: be teaching. You're gonna hear it here. If you're not
24:41
Speaker 3: gonna hear it anywhere else. This is a daily maintenance,
24:45
Speaker 3: a daily walk, Amen, Verse twenty five with hold your
24:52
Speaker 3: foot from being unshod, in your throat from thirst. But
25:00
Speaker 3: you said there is no hope. No, for I have
25:05
Speaker 3: loved aliens, and after them I will go. Now. God
25:14
Speaker 3: warns Israel to stop exhausting themselves chasing false guys in
25:20
Speaker 3: empty desires, but the people refuse correction. They openly admit
25:28
Speaker 3: they want to continue pursuing these idols. And that is heartbreaking.
25:36
Speaker 3: I mean, you gotta respect their position, right, at least
25:40
Speaker 3: they finally admitted it. Now. This as the tragedy of
25:53
Speaker 3: heartening their heart. The people became addicted to the very
25:58
Speaker 3: things that are destroying them Spiritually. Sin promises satisfaction but
26:07
Speaker 3: always leaves people empty. People chase after money, They chase
26:17
Speaker 3: after relationships, after fame. People want attention. People want substance,
26:30
Speaker 3: worldly success, all these things. But nothing can satisfy the
26:34
Speaker 3: soul except God Almighty and God alone. Only Jesus is
26:42
Speaker 3: the living water that can truly satisfy spiritual thirst. Let
26:50
Speaker 3: me say that again. Only Jesus is the living water
26:57
Speaker 3: that can satisfy our spiritual thirst. Time for a break.
27:04
Speaker 5: You are listening to the light of Las Vegas. This
27:08
Speaker 5: is the Hiss Hop Radio Show.
27:11
Speaker 3: Yes, Yes, I've.
27:14
Speaker 2: Been up, I've been down.
27:15
Speaker 3: I've been up, I've been.
27:16
Speaker 2: Down right, but no matter where I go, you will
27:21
Speaker 2: never let me die right. Cool, I've been up, I've
27:25
Speaker 2: been down, I've been up, I've been down alright. Yeah,
27:30
Speaker 2: but no matter where I go, you will never let
27:32
Speaker 2: me die right. How I feel being the one that's
27:37
Speaker 2: tapped into the blood right, I ain't talking to you
27:40
Speaker 2: a street code. I'm just talking to you like he
27:44
Speaker 2: rose standing so tall down sea folks under pression, it's
27:48
Speaker 2: really free throwst meaning the easiest shots the heart is
27:52
Speaker 2: to take when you got all of your brain and
27:54
Speaker 2: try to tell you you can't, but I know why can?
27:57
Speaker 2: This is not my plan. I really see guys in.
28:00

32:47
Speaker 3: God isn't into our word religious performance.
32:52
Speaker 6: A man.
32:52
Speaker 3: I was actually at the park where my family the
32:56
Speaker 3: other day we went to Arizona. We went to Lake Havasu.
33:03
Speaker 3: We just got back in today actually, so we rent
33:07
Speaker 3: out some jet skis and we had some family fun
33:10
Speaker 3: playing out in the sun. Summer is finally here. And
33:15
Speaker 3: our first night we went out, we went to the
33:19
Speaker 3: Rotary Lake. If you ever go out there, it's only
33:21
Speaker 3: a two hour drive from Vegas. So it's a fun
33:25
Speaker 3: little trip. If you want to go get into water.
33:28
Speaker 3: You don't want to mess around with lake need Sometimes
33:31
Speaker 3: there's a lot of bugs and stuff in Lake Mead
33:33
Speaker 3: or even in Laughlin, you know, so we wanted to
33:38
Speaker 3: find a lake that didn't have all those bugs in
33:40
Speaker 3: so we found a Lake Havasu in Arizona. I'm talking
33:47
Speaker 3: to the people that live in Vegas. You know, it's
33:48
Speaker 3: only a two hour drive. It's cruel. You pass Laughlin
33:52
Speaker 3: and you keep going on the forty. And so the
33:58
Speaker 3: first night we went out, we jumped into the water.
34:01
Speaker 3: Water was nice and warm, I mean it was cool.
34:05
Speaker 3: There's boats all around us and jet skis and everything.
34:08
Speaker 4: And then.
34:10
Speaker 3: We grabbed a hotel. I believe it's Island Emerald or
34:13
Speaker 3: something like that. Very nice people, very friendly over there,
34:19
Speaker 3: and if you go there, tell him you heard a
34:22
Speaker 3: bottom on his hot radio. Give him a shout out.
34:24
Speaker 3: We had a great time with them, had all the
34:27
Speaker 3: children with us, six of us all together, taking a
34:31
Speaker 3: little road trip family trip. And so next day we
34:35
Speaker 3: rented the jet skis and we were out there for
34:38
Speaker 3: a couple hours just playing in the water and my
34:42
Speaker 3: daughter Aren'mianey. I let her drive and man, I thought
34:45
Speaker 3: I was gonna fall off the thing. But that's an
34:48
Speaker 3: inside joke. But anyway, as we were in Rodary Park
34:54
Speaker 3: for two days, we were there right because we went
34:57
Speaker 3: back to Rotary Park after the jet skis because we
35:01
Speaker 3: liked the swimming spot over there. They got it like
35:03
Speaker 3: roped off, and you know, we had some fun. But
35:08
Speaker 3: we also met this brother in the park walking through
35:11
Speaker 3: the park. He had his sign, you know, preaching Jesus.
35:14
Speaker 3: He's an evangelist. So we stopped him. We got some
35:17
Speaker 3: fellowship and I told him about the radio station what
35:21
Speaker 3: I do in Las Vegas. You know, we do concerts
35:23
Speaker 3: and outreaches and you know, daily podcasts and stuff like that.
35:28
Speaker 3: And he was really interested and he was allowing me
35:31
Speaker 3: to you know, hear the things that he does. He's
35:35
Speaker 3: out in the park. You know, he's a frontline Christian,
35:39
Speaker 3: just like myself. And he was encouraging me about fasting.
35:42
Speaker 3: You know, I told him sometimes I struggle. I break
35:45
Speaker 3: my fast more often than not. Sometimes I love to
35:48
Speaker 3: eat family, and I've confessed this before. It's been a
35:52
Speaker 3: struggle for me to to say, am I some fast.
35:55
Speaker 3: I'm successful. I've done a twenty one day fast successfully,
35:59
Speaker 3: so it's not like I haven't and I can't. But
36:02
Speaker 3: sometimes I just like just out of I don't even
36:05
Speaker 3: be hungry sometimes sometimes just I just want to celebrate
36:09
Speaker 3: something and I just eat something, you know what I mean.
36:12
Speaker 3: So I was able to confess that in just it
36:15
Speaker 3: felt good. It just felt good to be able to
36:17
Speaker 3: confess these scenes and be honest.
36:20
Speaker 6: You know.
36:20
Speaker 3: I wasn't trying to fake the funk, right like, Oh,
36:24
Speaker 3: I'm just some big Christian in Las Vegas just taking
36:27
Speaker 3: over the city, which that is my heart, and I
36:30
Speaker 3: believe that we've done it before and God will use
36:32
Speaker 3: us again. But it was great just to fellowship with
36:36
Speaker 3: the brother. And one of the things he told me
36:39
Speaker 3: it was about fasting, is that your spirit, man, you
36:43
Speaker 3: are a spirit with a soul in a body, and
36:47
Speaker 3: a lot of people think that you are a soul
36:49
Speaker 3: with the body and the spirit, there is nowhere to
36:52
Speaker 3: be found. Well, if you're not born again, you're not
36:56
Speaker 3: And some of us do not allow the spirit to lead,
37:00
Speaker 3: you know. The spirit is to tell the flesh to
37:03
Speaker 3: you know, be quiet when you're hungry and you want
37:05
Speaker 3: to break that fast. The spirit, the flesh and the
37:09
Speaker 3: soul are to be subject to the spirit. And that
37:12
Speaker 3: helped me. That helped me a lot. So I was
37:15
Speaker 3: able to confess and to pray and to I'm gonna
37:18
Speaker 3: connect with the brother. The brother said he does ministry
37:21
Speaker 3: out here on Fremont Street. So we're gonna connect and
37:25
Speaker 3: do an outreach together as soon as we make the
37:28
Speaker 3: connection official. But yeah, you know, that's that's one of
37:33
Speaker 3: the things, you know, what I mean is just you know,
37:36
Speaker 3: have someone and that helped me, like that really helped me.
37:40
Speaker 3: So talk about you know, how is your paralyzed? Be
37:43
Speaker 3: honest about it. What areas are you struggling in? Are
37:47
Speaker 3: you feeding your spirit or are you feeding your flesh?
37:52
Speaker 3: What do you feed more often? To be honest, we
37:55
Speaker 3: need to starve our flesh completely, don't feed it at all.
38:00
Speaker 3: What can I pray for about right? What can I
38:04
Speaker 3: pray about for you or what can we agree in prayer? Really,
38:09
Speaker 3: and growth happens when believers walk in honesty and with accountability. Amen.
38:17
Speaker 3: So if you don't have anyone in your church or
38:22
Speaker 3: anyone in your life that you can pray with or
38:24
Speaker 3: hold you accountable, you got it right here only his

43:33
Speaker 3: We used to operate a five thousand square foot warehouse
43:38
Speaker 3: in Las Vegas off of Patrick and Anny Oakley. We
43:42
Speaker 3: held a lot of concerts there for seven years, about
43:46
Speaker 3: six and a half almost seven years. Every month we
43:49
Speaker 3: did events. Artists would come and travel to Vegas to
43:52
Speaker 3: come and minister and bless our city. We've been able
43:58
Speaker 3: to That's what started the podcast and the radio network
44:01
Speaker 3: and everything else. We started off as a club and
44:05
Speaker 3: we would like to relaunch or reopen, but this time
44:09
Speaker 3: we have our business house in order, and we would
44:12

Speaker 3: That is my time for today. But before we get
45:16
Speaker 3: out of here, we have some final comments and we're
45:20
Speaker 3: going to close it out in prayer. Jeremiah chapter two
45:26
Speaker 3: reveals what happens when people slowly drift away from God.
45:30
Speaker 3: God is confronting compromise, rebellion, spiritual emptiness, hidden sin in
45:42
Speaker 3: a hardened heart. This is what God is dealing with. Amen.
45:49
Speaker 3: God gives us free choice, but He wants to try
45:51
Speaker 3: to deal and correct us so that we don't fall
45:56
Speaker 3: away from him. But even in correction, God is still
46:01
Speaker 3: calling his people back to himself. Maybe someone listening today
46:07
Speaker 3: feels spiritually dry. Maybe you feel like you're distant from
46:11
Speaker 3: God or trapped in a cycle that you cannot break. Now,
46:17
Speaker 3: the good news is that God is still restoring people. Right.
46:24
Speaker 3: God still restores, God still heals. He is still in
46:28
Speaker 3: the forgiving business. God has a beautiful, forgiving heart, and
46:35
Speaker 3: God delivers those who return to him. A man, are
46:40
Speaker 3: you ready? It takes you might have walked a thousand
46:43
Speaker 3: steps away from him, but it's only one step to
46:47
Speaker 3: come back. So let's pray together. Father, God, we repent
46:56
Speaker 3: for every area or we have drifted away from you.
47:02
Speaker 3: Cleanse our hearts and renew our mind's. Father, let me
47:09
Speaker 3: start over, and I'm going to kill the music on
47:11
Speaker 3: this one. Oh God. We repent, Lord God, for every area,
47:15
Speaker 3: O God, Oh Lord, that we've compromised and even drifted,
47:19
Speaker 3: Oh God, cleanse our hearts, Lord, and renew our minds. God,
47:23
Speaker 3: break every chain and every unhealthy attachment. Lord, help us
47:31
Speaker 3: stop chasing broken sisions and return fully to the living
47:35
Speaker 3: water found only in Jesus Christ, our Savior. O God,
47:42
Speaker 3: fill us again with your Holy spirit and teach us
47:45
Speaker 3: to walk in holiness, obedience and truth. And we asked this,
47:51
Speaker 3: O Lord in Jesus's name. Amen and amen. If you
47:56
Speaker 3: said that prayer, hit us up in a life chat,
47:58
Speaker 3: let us know. And you can also find me on
48:02
Speaker 3: social media, mister his Hop on all platforms, or look

Speaker 3: up his hot Nation and all platforms and you'll find us.

48:16
Speaker 3: segment here on this podcast. And let us stay on
48:19
Speaker 3: that narrow path. Amen, and remember it's not about us,
