5:54
Speaker 2: Amen and Amen. All right. I'm excited about Women's Chapter
6:01
Speaker 2: four because this chapter goes over i would say, probably
6:09
Speaker 2: the most important topic that you could ever go over
6:17
Speaker 2: on this side of eternity. And this chapter walks us
6:24
Speaker 2: through the steps on how to be right with God.
6:29
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say that again. Women's Chapter four walks us
6:35
Speaker 2: through the practical steps on how to be right with God.
6:39
Speaker 2: So stick with me as we go through it and
6:42
Speaker 2: break it down. This is the biggest question that people ask.
6:46
Speaker 2: This is why we go hit the streets and witness
6:51
Speaker 2: for Christ is because we want people to be right
6:54
Speaker 2: with God. Wars were falling over this. Religions like this
7:00
Speaker 2: argue over this. Instead of jumping into arguments and debates
7:05
Speaker 2: and all that, Let's go directly to the word. Let's
7:10
Speaker 2: see exactly how we can be right with God. And
7:17
Speaker 2: after this chapter, I hope your confidence in your walk
7:21
Speaker 2: with God will be strengthen. Amen. So Paul just got
7:26
Speaker 2: done talking in chapter three about the Jews and the
7:30
Speaker 2: Gentiles that we mentioned the Romans world of Salvation, that
7:35
Speaker 2: it's bad news. Really it's bad news, it's real. God
7:43
Speaker 2: explains how he sees us when he looks at us
7:47
Speaker 2: outside of Christ. This is what he sees. He sees
7:51
Speaker 2: people who are desperately wicked. He sees people who tongues
7:56
Speaker 2: are venomous like snakes. He sees people who have hardened hearts.
8:03
Speaker 2: He sees people who are not profitable. That hits right there, like,
8:08
Speaker 2: how would you like it if your parents, your mother
8:11
Speaker 2: and father came to you and says you're not profitable
8:14
Speaker 2: and you're not worth anything. You're worthless? Right, And this
8:22
Speaker 2: is what God is saying. In our condition outside of Christ,
8:27
Speaker 2: we are worthless. Now. This is not some hater speaking this.
8:32
Speaker 2: This is not some bouie at school. This is not
8:36
Speaker 2: some crazy parent. This is Almighty God, our creator, giving
8:43
Speaker 2: us his view but how we are, and his view
8:46
Speaker 2: is true. What he speaks is true. He created us,
8:49
Speaker 2: he made us, and he knows what we are designed for.
8:55
Speaker 2: And so but we can't stay there, right, We can't
8:58
Speaker 2: stay in chapter three. We gotta turn that page right
9:01
Speaker 2: and jump over to chapter four because unlike everyone else
9:07
Speaker 2: who say these things to us. He has the remedy,
9:11
Speaker 2: he has the cure. He has a way to get
9:14
Speaker 2: us out of this desperate state of knowing being righteous, no,
9:19
Speaker 2: not one, and to get us out of this penalty
9:26
Speaker 2: of death that we're all headed for. If he don't
9:32
Speaker 2: receive Christ, s amen so to jump into it. Romans
9:36
Speaker 2: chapter four says, what then shall we say that Abraham,
9:42
Speaker 2: our father has found according to the flesh. For if
9:51
Speaker 2: Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about.
9:57
Speaker 2: But not before God does the scripture say, Abraham believe God,
10:03
Speaker 2: and it was according to him accounted to him for righteousness.
10:09
Speaker 2: Now to him who works, the wages are not counted
10:15
Speaker 2: as grace, but as debt. Okay. So now let's break
10:23
Speaker 2: it down a little bit, because you touched on the
10:27
Speaker 2: law also in the last chapter, and we understand the
10:32
Speaker 2: true purpose of the law. The law is to make
10:35
Speaker 2: the whole world guilty before God. The law is to
10:39
Speaker 2: show us our true state before our creator. Thou shalt
10:45
Speaker 2: not kill, Thou shalt not commit adulcy, Thou shalt not
10:49
Speaker 2: have any gods before me. How many of these commandments
10:54
Speaker 2: have we actually broken? Harlem them because if you break one,
10:57
Speaker 2: you've broken them all. But the law's still valid, right.
11:06
Speaker 2: And we also touched on how many of the occults
11:09
Speaker 2: in a lot of religious even Christian churches that are legalistic,
11:15
Speaker 2: emphasize the law. They think that we have to work
11:18
Speaker 2: for our salvation. They make you earn it, they make
11:22
Speaker 2: you jump through hoops. There's never ever any comfort, there's
11:27
Speaker 2: never ever any confirmation whether you are not you are
11:32
Speaker 2: really in the kingdom. There's a lot of problems when
11:36
Speaker 2: we try to just base our relationship off of the law,
11:41
Speaker 2: and God knew that we could not accomplish it, and
11:47
Speaker 2: so how do we truly get right with God? And
11:49
Speaker 2: Abraham is a great example. You see, Paul takes us
11:55
Speaker 2: back to Abraham, the father of the faith. Now he
11:59
Speaker 2: does this to show that justification was always by faith,
12:04
Speaker 2: even way back then, even before the law was given.
12:10
Speaker 2: Abraham wasn't declared righteous because of his own moral perfection
12:17
Speaker 2: or his works, but because he believed God. Now, if
12:24
Speaker 2: you read the story of Abraham, a Verham failed morally
12:29
Speaker 2: in a lot of different ways. He lied about his wife,
12:34
Speaker 2: and his wife was taken from him a couple of times.
12:38
Speaker 2: He had a baby with one of his servant girls.
12:44
Speaker 2: His wife gave him his servant girl to have a
12:46
Speaker 2: child Ishmael and that was a mistake. So no, he
12:51
Speaker 2: was not perfect, but righteousness was accounted if you look
12:58
Speaker 2: at that word accounted to him. Now, the word accounted
13:04
Speaker 2: is a book keeping term. It means God credited righteousness
13:10
Speaker 2: to Abraham's account because of his faith. Beloved, It's always
13:17
Speaker 2: been by faith. And as I think about it, the
13:23
Speaker 2: Bible says, I can't think of the verse, but the
13:26
Speaker 2: Bible says that the righteous shall live by faith. Now
13:34
Speaker 2: here's what we need to slow down and let this
13:38
Speaker 2: hit home. Abraham didn't have the law, he didn't have
13:44
Speaker 2: a temple, he didn't have the levitical priesthood. All he
13:49
Speaker 2: had was a promise from God, and he trusted it
13:54
Speaker 2: enough to live like it was already done. And family,
14:02
Speaker 2: that's the challenge, right, that's the challenge for us to
14:06
Speaker 2: trust God's word even when we don't see the evidence yet.
14:13
Speaker 2: This is why Paul uses that accounting term. When you
14:19
Speaker 2: put your faith in Christ, it's like God makes a
14:22
Speaker 2: deposit in your spiritual account that you can never earn
14:27
Speaker 2: on your own. This is not something that we could
14:30
Speaker 2: work for and obtain. Now that Greek word for accounting
14:38
Speaker 2: accountant is l og is z m a i oh
14:48
Speaker 2: jismine or something. May I know, I butchered that up.
14:51
Speaker 2: But now that means to reckon, to credit or count
14:56
Speaker 2: as true. To reckon to credit or to count as
15:02
Speaker 2: true is not a pretend righteousness. It is a real
15:09
Speaker 2: thing placed in your life only by God's grace. Say man,
15:17
Speaker 2: that is good news. This is the righteousness of God.
15:24
Speaker 2: Is to trust and to believe, to have faith, and
15:29
Speaker 2: his righteousness will be a credit to your account. Now,
15:34
Speaker 2: even David celebrates this in chapter five. It says, but
15:40
Speaker 2: to him who does not work but believes on him
15:45
Speaker 2: who justifies the ungodly, prays God for that hallelujah, that
15:50
Speaker 2: God will justify the ungodly. And that's where we have
15:54
Speaker 2: all been. And there's hope for the ungodly friend in family. Man,
16:01
Speaker 2: we can look around today and we can see a
16:03
Speaker 2: lot of hungoly people. So we serve a God who
16:08
Speaker 2: justifies the ungotten. And it says his faith is accounted
16:15
Speaker 2: for righteousness. But as David also describes the blessedness of
16:24
Speaker 2: the man to whom God imputes righteousness apart from works,
16:30
Speaker 2: Now there's another word, impute. Right, we are accounted to
16:39
Speaker 2: be righteous. Now God will impute righteousness unto us. Now
16:50
Speaker 2: these words are very important, so let's take a second.
16:57
Speaker 2: I didn't look this one up, but I'm gonna look
16:59
Speaker 2: it up now. Impute represents something, especially something un desirable,
17:16
Speaker 2: as being done cause or possessed by someone. Attribute. I
17:28
Speaker 2: don't know this is? This is right? Impute?
17:31
Speaker 3: Let me.
17:33
Speaker 2: Yeah, impute? That is a represents something, especially something undesirable,
17:40
Speaker 2: just being done cause or possessed by someone. This his attribute.
17:48
Speaker 2: Finance assign and value to something by inference from the
17:57
Speaker 2: value of the product or possesses to which it contributes. Okay,
18:09
Speaker 2: I'm just on the internet right now looking up this word.
18:13
Speaker 2: But impute, go ahead and look that up for yourself.
18:16
Speaker 2: I got to do some more stinging up on that.
18:21
Speaker 2: Let me see impute definition and meaning to lay the
18:26
Speaker 2: responsibility or blame for something, often falsely or unjustly. Wow,
18:34
Speaker 2: they got some negative definitions for impute, imputed, imputing. I
18:43
Speaker 2: guess it's kind of like a legal term. But we
18:47
Speaker 2: know to credit or to abscribe something to a person
18:55
Speaker 2: or a cause. Okay, I like that one. To credit
18:58
Speaker 2: or to ascribe something to a person or to a cause. Okay,
19:03
Speaker 2: I guess the world can take it in a very
19:06
Speaker 2: negative way. But in this context, when God imputes righteousness,
19:13
Speaker 2: it's definitely a positive thing. Amen, something positive from our
19:21
Speaker 2: creator and from our maker. So to whom God imputes
19:26
Speaker 2: righteousness apart from works. All right, let's get back to
19:30
Speaker 2: that verse. Seven. Blessed are those whose lawless deeds are forgiven. Hallelujah.
19:38
Speaker 2: Now this is from quotations taken from King David, and
19:43
Speaker 2: whose sins are covered. Blessed are those who lawless deeds
19:47
Speaker 2: are forgiven. Now that is a blessed. I remember the
19:51
Speaker 2: day I was saved like it was yesterday, and I
19:54
Speaker 2: remember the feeling, the touch. I felt like I was
19:58
Speaker 2: being washed clean, and we can experience that on a
20:02
Speaker 2: daily basis. I ask for forgiveness all the time because
20:08
Speaker 2: I don't want to offend my father. You know, we
20:11
Speaker 2: can always do something that we didn't even realize we did. Amen.
20:16
Speaker 2: But blessed are those who lawless these are forgiven, and
20:20
Speaker 2: whose sins are covered. Blessed is the man to whom
20:24
Speaker 2: the Lord will not impute sin. Okay, all right, I
20:29
Speaker 2: can see now the negative, right, how to be. Something
20:34
Speaker 2: can be imputed to you in a negative way. So
20:39
Speaker 2: God can impute righteousness to you, or if you choose
20:43
Speaker 2: not to put your faith in just trust in Jesus Christ,
20:48
Speaker 2: he can impute sin as well. It goes both ways. Now,
20:55
Speaker 2: now let's look at back to Father Amrahim justified by circumcision.
21:05
Speaker 2: Does this blessedness then come abuon the circumcised only or
21:10
Speaker 2: abund the uncircumcised. Also, there's a lot of questions. Paul
21:17
Speaker 2: is a great teacher, and a great teacher will always
21:21
Speaker 2: ask questions to provoke the thought, to provoke a response,
21:26
Speaker 2: to cause you to think. Right. God wants us to
21:29
Speaker 2: use our brains. God wants us to be healthy thinkers,
21:34
Speaker 2: to think on our own. If you look at the
21:36
Speaker 2: world system today, especially with AI and the technology that's
21:42
Speaker 2: coming out today, the enemy doesn't want us to be thinkers.
21:46
Speaker 2: The devil definitely doesn't want us to use our brand
21:50
Speaker 2: to think things through, to reason. This is what separates
21:54
Speaker 2: us from the animal kingdom. They can't think things through
21:58
Speaker 2: like we can. They cannot reason like we can. They
22:02
Speaker 2: just live by instinct. And if we're just living a
22:06
Speaker 2: life by instinct and not taking a second to think,
22:10
Speaker 2: and we just give into our passions, our lessen, our desires.
22:14
Speaker 2: But God wants us to think things through. But if
22:19
Speaker 2: we're just living by our instinct, we're just living like
22:23
Speaker 2: animals that God created us to be greater than that. Amen.
22:29
Speaker 2: Now the question is, now you know the circumcised and
22:36
Speaker 2: the uncircumcised is another way to say that Jew and
22:39
Speaker 2: the non Jew, because the Jewish nation was always identified
22:43
Speaker 2: as the circumcise, because that is the sign of the
22:48
Speaker 2: Covenant that God has given them, an awesome sign. But
22:51
Speaker 2: Paul is clearing some things up, and it says, for
22:56
Speaker 2: we say that faith was accounted to Abraham for right righteousness,
23:01
Speaker 2: how then was it accountant while he was circumcised or uncircumcised?
23:07
Speaker 2: Seeing another question, was he circumcised or not? When God
23:10
Speaker 2: said that he was righteous, not while circumcised, but while uncircumcised.
23:19
Speaker 2: Father Abraham, the father of the faith. Abraham is the
23:26
Speaker 2: father of the Jewish nation. The Jews take pride that
23:32
Speaker 2: they are the descendants of Abraham. But the Bible also says,
23:38
Speaker 2: as we're going to read, that Abraham is the father
23:40
Speaker 2: of many nations, not just the Jewish race as well.
23:44
Speaker 2: Abraham is our father spiritually. Maybe not in the natural,
23:52
Speaker 2: but in the spirit. Everyone has to come to this
23:56
Speaker 2: place of faith if we're going to be born into
23:59
Speaker 2: the kingdom. So Abraham has the title the father of
24:04
Speaker 2: many nations, and so he was not circumcised. When he
24:09
Speaker 2: was justified before God, the righteousness might be imputed to
24:17
Speaker 2: them also. So this is how we get in, so
24:23
Speaker 2: that we don't have to be circumcised or of the
24:26
Speaker 2: circumcision to be kind of righteous. Now verse twelve, and
24:30
Speaker 2: the father of the circumcision to those who do not
24:35
Speaker 2: only of Let me read this again, the father of
24:41
Speaker 2: circumcision to those who not only are of the circumcision,
24:46
Speaker 2: but who also walk in the steps of the faith
24:51
Speaker 2: which our father Abraham had while still uncircumcised. Now Paul
24:58
Speaker 2: has given us a good case here that our father
25:03
Speaker 2: Abraham was righteous before even the law took place. There
25:08
Speaker 2: was no levitical system, there was no levies, there was
25:11
Speaker 2: no Law of Moses. None of this stuff is in place,
25:15
Speaker 2: and righteousness was imputed unto him. Now verse thirteen. For
25:22
Speaker 2: the promise that he would be heir of the world
25:29
Speaker 2: was not to Abraham or to his seed through the law,
25:34
Speaker 2: but through the righteousness of faith. It was all started
25:42
Speaker 2: by faith. It was not through the law. For if
25:47
Speaker 2: those who are of the law are heirs, faith is
25:52
Speaker 2: made void and the promise made of no effect. Now
25:58
Speaker 2: this is very import and right now, let's park here
26:02
Speaker 2: for a second. For if those who are of the
26:04
Speaker 2: law are heerrs, faith is made void and the promise
26:13
Speaker 2: made of no effect, because the law brings about wrath.
26:20
Speaker 2: For where there is no law, there is no transgression. Amen.
26:28
Speaker 2: So let's try to understand this a little better. So
26:33
Speaker 2: if you're living according to the law and the enemy
26:39
Speaker 2: knows this, he understands this. That's why if you look
26:43
Speaker 2: to every major religion, they emphasize the law. Now the
26:49
Speaker 2: law is it could be something that the church, some
26:54
Speaker 2: type of trip that they place on you. You have
26:57
Speaker 2: to have perfect attendance in order to be saved. You
27:00
Speaker 2: have to be baptized in our tub. In order to
27:04
Speaker 2: be saved, you have to read the Bible in our book,
27:11
Speaker 2: a book that is outside the Bible. All you need
27:14
Speaker 2: is the Bible, but a lot of religions all have
27:18
Speaker 2: an extra book, extra material that you need to read
27:23
Speaker 2: in order to be saved, or you have to go
27:26
Speaker 2: knock on doors. It's a lot of works out there. Now,
27:32
Speaker 2: what's the problem with that? How come this would be
27:34
Speaker 2: offensive to God? And why would this void out your faith?
27:42
Speaker 2: Because if I go to work and I know at
27:49
Speaker 2: the end of the week, I'm going to receive a paycheck,
27:52
Speaker 2: or if I take on some type of job or project,
27:56
Speaker 2: and I know my payment, the payment was agreed to,
28:00
Speaker 2: and I fulfill my part of it to receive that payment,
28:05
Speaker 2: it's no longer it's a gift, it's a wage. It's
28:08
Speaker 2: something that I work for that I earn, something that
28:11
Speaker 2: I expect to receive from my own merit and my
28:15
Speaker 2: own work and my own ability. Why would you need faith?
28:21
Speaker 2: As a matter of fact, if you don't don't get
28:23
Speaker 2: that paycheck, you can take that person to court like
28:26
Speaker 2: you have a legal right to stand on to say hey,
28:30
Speaker 2: I'm old this. So that cancels out faith. Faith is
28:37
Speaker 2: something that you trust God for. It's something that you receive,
28:42
Speaker 2: not earn, or not work for. So it says in
28:45
Speaker 2: fourteen faith is made void and the promise made of
28:50
Speaker 2: no effect. You don't want that because without faith it's
28:54
Speaker 2: impossible to please God. And people are being canceled out
28:59
Speaker 2: of heaven and because they don't have a right relationship
29:04
Speaker 2: with the law thirteen, because the law brings about wrath.
29:09
Speaker 2: That's all the law is going to give you, beloved.
29:12
Speaker 2: It's right here in the Word of God. This is
29:14
Speaker 2: not my opinion. It's not something that I'm making up.
29:18
Speaker 2: This is the Word, and it says a law, all
29:21
Speaker 2: you're going to get is wrath. If you want to
29:24
Speaker 2: try to fulfill the law outside of faith in Jesus Christ.
29:30
Speaker 2: But where there is no law, there is no transgression.
29:37
Speaker 2: Right now. Check that out. Faith and moves all transgressions.
29:48
Speaker 2: Hey man, think about that versus team. Therefore, it is
29:55
Speaker 2: not a faith that it might be accounted. Let me
30:02
Speaker 2: read that again. Therefore, it is of faith that it
30:06
Speaker 2: might be accounted to Grace, so that the promise might
30:11
Speaker 2: be sure to all the seed, not only to those
30:17
Speaker 2: who are of the law. So it's a promise and
30:22
Speaker 2: it's according to grace. It is of faith, but also
30:28
Speaker 2: to those who are of the faith of Abraham, who
30:33
Speaker 2: is the father of us all as it is written,
30:38
Speaker 2: I have made you a father of many nations, the
30:42
Speaker 2: presence of him who the presence of him whom he believed,
30:50
Speaker 2: God who gives life to the dead, and cause those
30:54
Speaker 2: things which are not, which cause those things which do
30:59
Speaker 2: not exis this as though they did, who, contrary to
31:07
Speaker 2: hope in hope believe. Now we're talking about Father Amham,
31:12
Speaker 2: And contrary to hope and hope, he believed so that
31:17
Speaker 2: he became the father of many nations according to what
31:21
Speaker 2: was spoken, so shall your descendants be. And not being
31:28
Speaker 2: weak in faith, he did not consider his own body
31:33
Speaker 2: already dead. Right, this is contrary to hope. He was
31:38
Speaker 2: just looking after the circumstances that he was an older man,
31:44
Speaker 2: and he said he did not consider his own body
31:47
Speaker 2: already dead, since he was about one hundred years old
31:52
Speaker 2: in the deadness of Sarah's womb. He did not waver
31:57
Speaker 2: at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strengthen
32:03
Speaker 2: in faith, giving glory to God and being fully convinced
32:09
Speaker 2: that what he had a promised, he was also able
32:12
Speaker 2: to perform. And therefore it was accounted to him for righteousness.
32:21
Speaker 2: Now it was not written for his sake alone that
32:26
Speaker 2: it was imputed to him, but also for us. It
32:32
Speaker 2: shall be imputed to us who believe in Him who
32:37
Speaker 2: raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead. Amen, Hallelujah.
32:44
Speaker 2: That's how we become right with God is putting our
32:49
Speaker 2: faith in trust in Jesus believed that God raised him
32:52
Speaker 2: from the dead, and righteousness shall be imputed unto us.
32:56
Speaker 2: Isn't that something that we need to earn or work for?
33:00
Speaker 2: Just receive it Verse twenty five. Who was delivered upon?
33:07
Speaker 2: Who was delivered up because of our offenses? And was
33:12
Speaker 2: raised because of our justification. So there's two things that
33:18
Speaker 2: we can trust in. We can trust that his death
33:25
Speaker 2: is said, he was delivered up because of your offense.
33:29
Speaker 2: Make this personal, Make this personal. Think about everything, every
33:34
Speaker 2: sinful act you've done, every sinful thought that you've thought,
33:39
Speaker 2: every sinful word that you spoke, every sinful attitude, every
33:45
Speaker 2: time you did somebody wrong, everything because of our offenses.
33:56
Speaker 2: Who was giving up, he was livered he was put
34:03
Speaker 2: to death. A lot of people try to blame the
34:07
Speaker 2: Jews for killing Christ or blame the Romans for killing Christ. No,
34:15
Speaker 2: it is us. It was our hands on the hammer
34:19
Speaker 2: and nail that nailed him to the cross. It was
34:23
Speaker 2: his love that kept them there. He had to take
34:28
Speaker 2: this lightly. God paid a huge price. He gave it
34:31
Speaker 2: all just so that he can imcute righteousness to us.
34:38
Speaker 2: How offensive is it when we choose not to put
34:42
Speaker 2: our faith in the only provision that is given, and
34:48
Speaker 2: then the proof of our justification is the empty grave,
34:53
Speaker 2: the empty tomb. Jesus rose again from the dead, defeated,
35:00
Speaker 2: held death in the grave. He is our justification. Hallelujah.
35:07
Speaker 2: This is why they celebrated the Lord they saving. Now
35:13
Speaker 2: I want to bring one more point out in this chapter.
35:17
Speaker 2: How Abraham believe God? Contrary to Hope, He said that
35:29
Speaker 2: he was one hundred years old. The deadness of Sarah's womb. Now,
35:40
Speaker 2: when something is dead, that's pretty permanent. Rightless God as
35:47
Speaker 2: a miracle? What are you believing God for? What do
35:54
Speaker 2: you think is dead in your own life? What circumstances
36:00
Speaker 2: is surrounding your own life and making you stagger at
36:07
Speaker 2: the promise of God. At the word of God, many
36:11
Speaker 2: of you have received a word, a prophetic word. God
36:16
Speaker 2: wants to do something in your life. He wants you
36:19
Speaker 2: to start that business. He wants you to start that ministry.
36:24
Speaker 2: He wants you to reach people. But you think that
36:29
Speaker 2: it's dead, You think that it's over for you. You
36:34
Speaker 2: think that you're too old. Abraham was one hundred years
36:40
Speaker 2: Abraham waited a long time. We cannot take this lightly,
36:47
Speaker 2: the fact that Abraham had faith. Look at all that
36:50
Speaker 2: was working against the promise of God. Abraham could have
36:56
Speaker 2: easily been believer. All he had to do is look
37:02
Speaker 2: at his circumstances. And he wasn't perfect.
37:07
Speaker 1: Right.
37:08
Speaker 2: That's where we get Ishmael. They tried to help God.
37:11
Speaker 2: There was a lapse of faith, but they still wanted
37:16
Speaker 2: to fulfill the call that God has placed on their lives.
37:22
Speaker 2: And as we know, that became a mistake. There's a
37:26
Speaker 2: lot of wars in the Middle East it is today
37:29
Speaker 2: because of this. But let's make this personal. We can't
37:38
Speaker 2: stagger at the promises of God. And I'm speaking to
37:41
Speaker 2: myself as well, because, as you know, my ministry was
37:49
Speaker 2: a Christian hip hop venue, a godly venue, an evangelizing,
37:56
Speaker 2: powerful club type atmosphere. Is what I would like to see,
38:05
Speaker 2: and I would like to see it come to fulfillment,
38:08
Speaker 2: come to pass. And sometimes it feels like it's not
38:12
Speaker 2: gonna happen, especially in the music industry. You can feel that, Okay,
38:23
Speaker 2: I'm too old for this, I'm too old school. My
38:25
Speaker 2: time is over. But I can't find myself staggering at
38:33
Speaker 2: the promises of God. I also have to be obedient
38:39
Speaker 2: to keep his word because He's given me words specifically
38:45
Speaker 2: about the club and about the music and about all
38:48
Speaker 2: this stuff that I'm involved in. So keep me in prayer.
38:51
Speaker 2: Because I have staggered, I have compared myself to others.
38:55
Speaker 2: I have failed in a lot of area. But I
39:02
Speaker 2: call upon the grace of God and I'm just being transparent.
39:05
Speaker 2: Belove it. But what I'm trying to do is awaken
39:09
Speaker 2: the call of God in your life. Awaken the gifts
39:13
Speaker 2: the Bible says, Stir up the gifts that God has
39:16
Speaker 2: given you. You know what God has called you to do?
39:20
Speaker 2: What's the delay? Just like Abraham, all we have to
39:27
Speaker 2: do is believe and it's imputed unto us for righteousness.
39:39
Speaker 2: Hey man, all right, well right now is time for
39:47
Speaker 2: a music break. Look at what you've done. I got

Speaker 2: right with God. Amen. Romans Chapter four a very important
43:03
Speaker 2: chapter in our walk our faith in the work of
43:10
Speaker 2: God in our lives. Amen, go over this chapter for yourself,
43:15
Speaker 2: really dig deep and understand it. Understand what God has
43:18
Speaker 2: done for us. Saymen, this is amazing. Now it's time
43:23
Speaker 2: for the accountability partner segment this week. I want to
43:28
Speaker 2: challenge you in the area of self reliance versus God's reliance.
43:34
Speaker 2: Right now, just like Abraham couldn't earn God's promise through
43:39
Speaker 2: good works or through the law, you and I cannot
43:43
Speaker 2: earn God's favor through religious checklists. Right You can't just
43:49
Speaker 2: go down our checklists and keep rules and keep this
43:53
Speaker 2: and keep that. But use your accountability challenge for this week.
44:00
Speaker 2: This week, pause before you make a big decision and
44:04
Speaker 2: ask am I moving in faith or am I moving
44:09
Speaker 2: in my own ability? Write it down and talk it
44:13
Speaker 2: over with your accountability partner. Let's walk in faith first,
44:21
Speaker 2: living together. Let's do this together, y'all. Amen. Now some
44:39
Speaker 2: news it's how radio is a reporting in a monitoring
44:43
Speaker 2: radio station, we help you get your song moving up
44:49
Speaker 2: the charts, and once we have a vibrant chart, it'll
44:54
Speaker 2: take our genre more serious. I just contacted one of
44:58
Speaker 2: the charts, our dear t Charts digital radio track where
45:02
Speaker 2: you can look them up, and they're saying that we're
45:04
Speaker 2: kind of lacking that Christian hip hop is really kind
45:08
Speaker 2: of like non existing right now as far as the
45:11
Speaker 2: charts go. So on his Hot Radio, we do have
45:14
Speaker 2: a chart. We need the artists to submit your music.
45:17
Speaker 2: We need you to purchase some advertisement. It's very reasonable.
45:21
Speaker 2: We're talking about fifty bucks here and there, and you
45:25
Speaker 2: know what I mean, it's not little expensive to advertise
45:29
Speaker 2: on the station so that we can get your music
45:33
Speaker 2: going up on these charts and share it let people
45:37
Speaker 2: know we are charting also on the app. And so
45:42

45:44
Speaker 2: I'm gonna have to share my charts more often. You
45:50
Speaker 2: can look them up. But some of these charts you
45:53
Speaker 2: do have to pay to download the chart, but I
45:57
Speaker 2: can get access to them as well. You try to
46:01
Speaker 2: share them more frequently. But once you see these charts out,
46:04
Speaker 2: share them, let them know. I can't check these out
46:09
Speaker 2: because a lot of people are not aware of that. Yes,
46:14
Speaker 2: we do pay royalties. We don't just play music over
46:17
Speaker 2: the internet. No, we are a legitimate radio station. All right,

Speaker 2: be called righteous because of their faith? I'm gonna post

51:02
Speaker 2: standing with God. Just like Abraham, we're called to believe
51:08
