0:40
Speaker 1: I'm your brother, mister his Hot, and today we're digging
0:45
Speaker 1: deep into one of the most perplexed and powerful truths
0:51
Speaker 1: Jesus ever gave us. He that findeth his life shall
0:57
Speaker 1: lose it. He that loses is like for my sake,
1:02
Speaker 1: shall find it. Most people want to find themselves. The
1:10
Speaker 1: world is all about self discovery, self expression, self promotion.
1:19
Speaker 1: Jesus said, if you truly want to live, you gotta
1:24
Speaker 1: die first. Let's break this down like never before.
1:37
Speaker 2: So what does.
1:41
Speaker 1: Finding your life really mean? That's the question right there?
1:47
Speaker 1: What does finding your life really mean? Well, you know
1:52
Speaker 1: how we do? We gotta and grab that word why
1:59
Speaker 1: Because the where of God promises to save our souls.
2:06
Speaker 1: This is the only promise we have on the planet
2:09
Speaker 1: that our souls can we saved. So I'm going to
2:13
Speaker 1: take the time to break it down in scripture. So
2:18
Speaker 1: make sure you get your highlights, your notepads, and your
2:21
Speaker 1: Bibles and you can follow along so you can dig
2:25
Speaker 1: deeper into this topic yourself and allow God to speak
2:30

3:45
Speaker 1: and we meet up here on this podcast and in
3:51
Speaker 1: the live chat. The second way you can do it
3:55

5:12
Speaker 1: hopefully you got your Bible's ready, You're in position. This
5:16
Speaker 1: is our devotional time right here on the radio station.
5:22
Speaker 1: So let's give them our undivided attention. And I'm gonna
5:28
Speaker 1: go ahead and pray, Father God, we just come before
5:30
Speaker 1: you this morning. Father God, Let this not be entertainment.
5:36
Speaker 1: Let this not be something that we take for granted.
5:41
Speaker 1: Let this just not be something that we do just
5:45
Speaker 1: so that we can do so we can gain followers
5:47
Speaker 1: and listeners. And but let this be a part of
5:51
Speaker 1: our daily discipline as we seek you on a daily basis,
6:00
Speaker 1: that Holy spirit that you open up our hearts and
6:02
Speaker 1: our minds help us to understand this topic so that
6:09
Speaker 1: it can be clear and so that we can apply
6:12
Speaker 1: this to our lives. And we asked his father in
6:16
Speaker 1: Jesus name, Amen, Amen and Amen okay. So our foundational
6:25
Speaker 1: scripture on this topic is Matthew ten verse twenty nine,
6:29
Speaker 1: and we're coming out of the King James version, and
6:34
Speaker 1: it says he that findeth life shall lose it, and
6:40
Speaker 1: he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.
6:46
Speaker 1: Now in the Greek the word for life here is
6:51
Speaker 1: p s U c h E with a hyphen because
7:00
Speaker 1: per set, I don't know if y'all can pronounce that.
7:06
Speaker 1: You need you to go do that recording, just like
7:08
Speaker 1: I mentioned a few minutes ago, because I don't know
7:11
Speaker 1: if I'm pronouncing it right. But it means which means
7:15
Speaker 1: we refer not just to biological life. It doesn't refers
7:22
Speaker 1: not just biological life, but talking about your soul, your identity,
7:28
Speaker 1: your purpose, your ambitions. When we say that again, which
7:33
Speaker 1: refers not just to biological life, but it refers to
7:39
Speaker 1: your soul and your identity, your purpose, and to your ambitions.
7:48
Speaker 1: But Jesus is saying is if you try to build
7:51
Speaker 1: your identity apart from him, even if it looks like success,
7:58
Speaker 1: it's already a loss. If you lay your soul at
8:03
Speaker 1: his feet, you will receive life eternal, in life that
8:12
Speaker 1: is abundant. And he said that again. If you try
8:21
Speaker 1: to build your identity apart from him, even if it
8:26
Speaker 1: looks like success, it's already a loss. If you lay
8:33
Speaker 1: your soul at his feet, you will receive life eternal
8:39
Speaker 1: and life abundant. What areas of your life are you
8:46
Speaker 1: clinging to that you haven't laid at Jesus' feet? What
8:55
Speaker 1: areas of your life are you clinging to that you
9:01
Speaker 1: have yet to surrender and lay it down? You one
9:05
Speaker 1: say it all. You see our hearts. There's not room
9:09
Speaker 1: in our hearts for two gods. There's not room in
9:13
Speaker 1: our hearts to serve two masters. We can only serve one.
9:20
Speaker 1: And our prayers should be Lord, Take our whole heart,
9:27
Speaker 1: our whole life, take our everything, Strip away everything else
9:34
Speaker 1: in our hearts that we've given to others, and we
9:38
Speaker 1: give it all to you. Amen, in Jesus' name, I
9:45
Speaker 1: send that prayer out. Now, let's look at a real
9:53
Speaker 1: life example, Paul. Look at the life of Paul. Now
10:05
Speaker 1: the Scripture of Philippians, chapter three, verse seven and eight,
10:13
Speaker 1: Paul says, but what things were gained to me? Those
10:20
Speaker 1: I counted loss? For Christ? Yeah, doubtless. And I count
10:25
Speaker 1: all things but lost, But I may win Christ Philippians three,
10:32
Speaker 1: seven and eight. Now, the apostle Paul, he had it all.
10:39
Speaker 1: He even said himself that he was the Hebrew of
10:43
Speaker 1: the Hebrews. He was educated, he had status amongst his people.
10:55
Speaker 1: He was a religious influencer. We hear a lot about
11:00
Speaker 1: social media influencers and athletes and celebrities. Just imagine back
11:11
Speaker 1: then being a religious influencer. He used to go around
11:16
Speaker 1: and persecute the Christians. He had a lot of cloud.
11:28
Speaker 1: But when he met Christ, he realized that none of
11:36
Speaker 1: that could save his soul. See that's why this is
11:42
Speaker 1: the theme of our podcast. Right, you can look good hourly,
11:46
Speaker 1: you can look successfully. You could even have great ministry.
11:50
Speaker 1: Even the scripture that scares me. It says that even
11:55
Speaker 1: if he prophescien his name and do many wonderful works
11:59
Speaker 1: and cast out devil, you can still go to hell
12:05
Speaker 1: because Jesus tells those people, I never knew you. If
12:09
Speaker 1: you never know him, that's a whole point is seeking
12:12
Speaker 1: Him and knowing him. Right, if you don't know Jesus,
12:18
Speaker 1: he can live the best life ever according to man's
12:21
Speaker 1: standards and still miss it. And Paul realized all that
12:26
Speaker 1: he had couldn't save his soul or compare to the
12:30
Speaker 1: surpassing worth of knowing Jesus Christ. Paul lost his reputation,
12:38
Speaker 1: his comforts, and his career, but he found his true calling,
12:46
Speaker 1: eternal security in spiritual power. Let me say this again.
12:53
Speaker 1: Paul lost his reputation, he lost all of his comforts.
13:00
Speaker 1: How many people have any relationships just to have that
13:04
Speaker 1: person walk out on you? Why because now you are
13:08
Speaker 1: a Christian or you lost promotion or status at work,
13:13
Speaker 1: your career. But he found his true calling, he found
13:19
Speaker 1: his true eternal security. There's nothing on life, there's no
13:26
Speaker 1: price worth your eternal soul and not only that, your
13:32
Speaker 1: spiritual power. And these are the things that a lot
13:37
Speaker 1: of people are lacking. That's why a lot of people
13:41
Speaker 1: go through the cycle over and over again of living
13:46
Speaker 1: a defeated, wrecked life because they have no power. They
13:53
Speaker 1: don't know where their power is. Now, let's look at
13:58
Speaker 1: the cost of losing your life. We're gonna go to
14:03
Speaker 1: Luke chapter fourteen, verse twenty seven. Luke chapter fourteen, verse
14:09
Speaker 1: twenty seven. And it says, whosoever would not bear his
14:17
Speaker 1: cross and come after me cannot be my disciples. See,
14:24
Speaker 1: we need to look at the whole counsel of the
14:26
Speaker 1: Word of God. Right, these are the words of Jesus himself,
14:30
Speaker 1: and he is saying that whosoever does not bear his cross.
14:35
Speaker 1: So if you're not in the practice of being your cross,
14:39
Speaker 1: and it says you got to do this daily. It's
14:42
Speaker 1: a daily discipline and we have to come after him daily.
14:51
Speaker 1: This is why a lot of people. I hope you
14:56
Speaker 1: understand that if you want help, if you want me
15:04
Speaker 1: to help you, if you want me to pour into
15:07
Speaker 1: your life, if you want me to disciple you, I
15:11
Speaker 1: know the most important thing you need to do is
15:14
Speaker 1: develop a discipline. And that's one of the reasons why
15:19
Speaker 1: I committed it to come and do this podcast daily.
15:23
Speaker 1: And I have to seek out a topic I have
15:25
Speaker 1: to hear from the Holy Spirit, have to put it
15:28
Speaker 1: together and have to pray over it and seek Him
15:34
Speaker 1: daily and record it and put it out there. This
15:39
Speaker 1: is a challenge for me. Sometimes I have to get
15:42
Speaker 1: up early before work or sometimes I have to stay
15:45
Speaker 1: up late, but I'm committed to do it because these
15:50
Speaker 1: disciplines help us. It's a daily fight, it's a daily battle.
15:55
Speaker 1: We have to daily seek the Lord. And so this
15:58
Speaker 1: is a part of developing that discipline, that discipleship, the discipleship,
16:07
Speaker 1: the discipline, the daily laying down my cross, the daily
16:11
Speaker 1: getting up earlier and leaving my comfort, the daily doing this,
16:19
Speaker 1: getting into the scripture, daily prayers. And that's why I mean, yeah,
16:26
Speaker 1: of course I want to get as many people as
16:29
Speaker 1: I can to listen to this podcast because I know
16:33
Speaker 1: I have something of value to offer. I know that
16:36
Speaker 1: ultimately their souls, if they stick with it, their souls
16:41
Speaker 1: will gain, their souls will prosper. And if they really
16:46
Speaker 1: follow it and they get they say, you get out
16:52
Speaker 1: of it once you get into it, right. Our pastor
16:56
Speaker 1: says that a lot at church, you're going to get
16:58
Speaker 1: out of the church service what you put into it. Now,
17:02
Speaker 1: if you put everything into this podcast, if you take
17:05
Speaker 1: the time out to highlight the scriptures and reference the
17:11
Speaker 1: scripture and pray over it and seek the top of yourself,
17:14
Speaker 1: and even go a little further and spend time with
17:18
Speaker 1: the Lord on it, get the memory scriptures and grab
17:26
Speaker 1: the word and meet with us daily. You will benefit
17:34
Speaker 1: from it. It's a part of picking up our cross. Now.
17:40
Speaker 1: Of course, you can have an amazing disciplined life without
17:46
Speaker 1: listening to the podcast, but this is the purpose. This
17:51
Speaker 1: is the purpose to get you going down the right
17:53
Speaker 1: path to living at daily disciplined life and at least
18:00
Speaker 1: starting out. That is one of the things I required.
18:03
Speaker 1: There's a few people that have reached out to me
18:07
Speaker 1: saying they need help with their welcome Christ and I
18:09
Speaker 1: tell them, hey, start listening to this podcast. Hopefully they
18:14
Speaker 1: don't think I'm just trying to gain a following and
18:17
Speaker 1: gain this and that and the other. But on the
18:19
Speaker 1: other hand, I am trying to gain a following because
18:22
Speaker 1: I'm trying to bring you to Heaven with me, you
18:24
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, and help you develop that godly discipline.
18:31
Speaker 1: As you know, mister Miyagi say wax on, wax off.
18:38
Speaker 1: Jesus said that you cannot be His disciples. This cross
18:45
Speaker 1: isn't just your struggles. Now, let's look at this cross
18:49
Speaker 1: that we have to bear. A lot of people think that, oh,
18:53
Speaker 1: I gotta bear my cross because they're struggling with something
18:57
Speaker 1: in life. But it's not just that. It is the
19:01
Speaker 1: symbol of death, and a lot of people wear a
19:04
Speaker 1: cross around their necks. It's almost like we're in an
19:08
Speaker 1: electric chair, right, it represents death. To follow Jesus is
19:16
Speaker 1: to die daily to the parts of us that are
19:23
Speaker 1: incapable or should I say incompatible with the Kingdom. And
19:31
Speaker 1: you say that again. To follow Jesus is die daily
19:35
Speaker 1: to the parts of us that are in man, I
19:39
Speaker 1: can't say this word incompatible. There we go. That's a
19:43
Speaker 1: tongue twister for me today, for some reason, with the
19:46
Speaker 1: Kingdom the parts of us that is incompatible. So let's
19:50
Speaker 1: say pride and lust, selfishness, unforgiveness. Losing your life isn't
19:57
Speaker 1: a one time deal. It is a daily decision. Right,
20:03
Speaker 1: It's a daily decision. Now here's another challenge for my listeners.
20:13
Speaker 1: There's a challenge for you guys. Now, I challenge all
20:26
Speaker 1: our listeners to a seven day surrender fast. Every day
20:37
Speaker 1: for one week, lay down one part of your life
20:43
Speaker 1: you've been holding on to, that you've been holding back
20:46
Speaker 1: from God, and then post your surrender to our life
20:59
Speaker 1: chat and hashtagh shit with lose to win. Right, that's
21:09
Speaker 1: actually a gonna be a T shirt lose to win,
21:15
Speaker 1: hashtag lose to win. As a matter of fact, post
21:19
Speaker 1: that on your social media this episode. Let people know
21:28
Speaker 1: what this topic was all about. What you got from
21:31
Speaker 1: this episode and hashtag lose to win. What are you
21:34
Speaker 1: gonna lose for seven days? What are you gonna fast?
21:39
Speaker 1: This is not necessarily a food fast, but this is
21:42
Speaker 1: a life fast. You're gonna lay down your pride for
21:48
Speaker 1: seven days, lay down your lust for seven days, lay
21:51
Speaker 1: down your selfishness for seven days, lay down your unforgiveness
21:57
Speaker 1: for seven days. Let's start that challenge, Joe. Let me
22:04
Speaker 1: know if you accept it in the Life chat right
22:09
Speaker 1: here only his hot radio app. Now here's the convicting part.
22:30
Speaker 1: Here's our reflection question. And when I ask these questions,
22:37
Speaker 1: I'm talking to myself as well as everybody else. Right,
22:41
Speaker 1: because the word a God is sharper than a two
22:44
Speaker 1: inches sword. Sometimes the ministers, you know, we get cut
22:48
Speaker 1: up before we even minister these things. The question is
22:55
Speaker 1: are you truly surrendered? You really have to examine ourselves.
23:02
Speaker 1: This could be a matter of life and death. If
23:05
Speaker 1: you're not surrendered and you're not in the faith. Jesus
23:10
Speaker 1: said that if you don't ling your life down, you
23:12
Speaker 1: will not find life. Or if you don't surrender, what
23:16
Speaker 1: does it mean to surrender? Your final scripture on this
23:21
Speaker 1: topic is Romans chapter twelve, verse one. Romans chapter twelve,
23:27
Speaker 1: verse one, and it says, present your bodies as a
23:31
Speaker 1: living sacrifice, fully acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
23:42
Speaker 1: This is your reasonable service. Most of us, we want
23:49
Speaker 1: resurrection power. But we don't want that who fiction? And
24:01
Speaker 1: we say that again. We want that resurrection power. Yeah,
24:06
Speaker 1: we want to rise up from the grave. We want
24:08
Speaker 1: to be able to raise the dead, kill the sick,
24:13
Speaker 1: cast out devils. Right, we want all that, But what
24:20
Speaker 1: about that crucifixion. Jesus had to die on the cross
24:25
Speaker 1: before he rose. Again, surrendering your life is your reasonable service.
24:35
Speaker 1: Let me say that again, surrendering your life. When I
24:39
Speaker 1: surrender my life, it is our reasonable service. It's the
24:45
Speaker 1: least we can do in light of what Jesus did
24:50
Speaker 1: for us. We say that again, it's the least we
24:56
Speaker 1: can do light of what Jesus has already done for us.
25:05
Speaker 1: To worship isn't just a song that we sing. It's
25:12
Speaker 1: a lifestyle that says, not my will with yours be done?
25:23
Speaker 1: Not my will for yours to be done.
25:35
Speaker 2: With that.
25:38
Speaker 1: Let's go ahead and take a music break. There's another
25:41
Speaker 1: one where I'm getting all caught up, put up by
25:44
Speaker 1: the mighty word of God, and I pray that this
25:47
Speaker 1: is beneficial. But this helps you. Make sure you share it,
25:53
Speaker 1: make sure you like it, make sure you subscribe. Let's
25:58

28:57
Speaker 1: You should not still be and those things that you
29:02
Speaker 1: were into before you met him. You should not still
29:10
Speaker 1: be a womanizer. You shouldn't be out there having sex

Speaker 1: should be laying these things down at the feed of
29:41
Speaker 1: our savior. That should be a change. Come on, did
29:45
Speaker 1: you really lay your life down? If the topic, you
29:52
Speaker 1: don't lose your life. If you lose your life, you
29:56
Speaker 1: will find it. And that's the point we are trying
29:59
Speaker 1: to make on the podcast. But right now it's time
30:05
Speaker 1: to lighten things up with the joke of the day. Yes, her,
30:13
Speaker 1: as I always say, a disclaimer, this joke could be corny.
30:24
Speaker 1: This could be some cornballs coming through this uh coming
30:29
Speaker 1: through the air right now, or you might find it funny.
30:34
Speaker 1: Sometimes we look out and you know we well, we
30:37
Speaker 1: don't believe in luck, right, we believe in the blessing
30:40
Speaker 1: of the Lord. All right, Well, let's get to the joke.
30:44
Speaker 1: So why did Jesus himself never need a GPS. Now
30:52
Speaker 1: this should be an easy one, y'all to guess. I'm
30:55
Speaker 1: gonna give y'all a second to guess it. Why did
30:59
Speaker 1: Jesus never need a g PS? You know, GPS something
31:08
Speaker 1: that helps you find your direction, helps you find the path.
31:18
Speaker 1: How come Jesus never use one?
31:22
Speaker 2: Y'all?
31:22
Speaker 1: Ready, already, all ready? Because he is the way. Get it,
31:31
Speaker 1: He's the way. He doesn't need a GPS. He's the way,
31:38
Speaker 1: the chief in the life. No one comes to the
31:41
Speaker 1: Father but by him. Okay, I like that.
31:45
Speaker 3: I like that.
31:47
Speaker 1: All right, let's go to some news. Well, we always
31:53
Speaker 1: like to tell artists go to the website his Hot
31:58
Speaker 1: nation dot com because we are a reporting and monitored
32:03
Speaker 1: radio station. Make sure you give us all your codes,
32:06
Speaker 1: your artwork, a description of your song, fell out, all
32:11
Speaker 1: the information. It might take you a few minutes to

Speaker 1: fill it out, but trust me, is worth it because
32:16
Speaker 1: we do pay royalties. And you can also get ranked
32:20
Speaker 1: on the his Hot Radio app. If you listen to
32:24
Speaker 1: the station his Hot Radio at the very top of
32:26
Speaker 1: the radio network and your song comes on, click that
32:31
Speaker 1: thumbs up button. It looks like that the thumbs up
32:36

Speaker 1: five star rating and it reports to our Google analytics. Yes,
32:49
Speaker 1: you get credit. The word gets out and that's how

Speaker 1: a c AHH artist, we take rhythm and praise. We
33:01
Speaker 1: take all genres. We have a whole radio network. So
33:05
Speaker 1: when people say, well, I don't like kip pop, that's
33:07
Speaker 1: why I don't download the hiss Hot radio app, tell
33:10
Speaker 1: them that, uh, that's not an excuse because we got
33:14
Speaker 1: something for everybody. But the purpose of this app is
33:18
Speaker 1: to in graph a word so it's able to save souls.
33:26
Speaker 1: For instance, let's say if you have a great, great
33:31
Speaker 1: youth group at your church or some type of ministry,
33:37
Speaker 1: but once you leave the building, what are they listening
33:39
Speaker 1: to when they go to school, what are they listening to?
33:43
Speaker 1: Who is influencing them? Who are they around when they
33:48
Speaker 1: go out and they want to kick it or whatever
33:50
Speaker 1: and want to you know, they get in trouble because
33:53
Speaker 1: they're bored, right, there's nothing for them to do. But
33:57
Speaker 1: that's the purpose of reopening the club. Get them a
34:00
Speaker 1: place to go apply what they learn in the youth
34:03
Speaker 1: group setting or even at church. You know, we minister
34:07

38:27
Speaker 1: off the door, you know what I'm saying.
38:31
Speaker 2: In Jesus' name.
38:34
Speaker 1: So some of the creative ways where you can support
38:37
Speaker 1: us and sign up for our Walmart roundup program where
38:47
Speaker 1: if you shop on the website, you shop online for Walmart,
38:54

38:59
Speaker 1: website dot com go down to the footer because there
39:03
Speaker 1: is a logo Walmart logo in our logo. And if
39:08
Speaker 1: you're wondering what's that about. How is his Hot Nation
39:12
Speaker 1: partnering up with Walmart? Well, it's our nonprofit. Choose us
39:17

39:44
Speaker 2: And this is our goal.
39:47
Speaker 1: So we can provide that place that is so desperately needed.
39:57
Speaker 1: All right, back to the topic as we close it out,
40:04
Speaker 1: because this is my time, y'all, this is my time.
40:06
Speaker 1: We are blessed another day, we are blessed to be
40:10
Speaker 1: able to do another podcast. Closing out, it says the
40:21
Speaker 1: scriptures that we went over. It says a lot about
40:24
Speaker 1: laying your life down. I mean, it's powerful. If you
40:29
Speaker 1: want to find life, you gotta lose it. Not a
40:35
Speaker 1: lot of Christians are doing this. Not a lot of
40:37
Speaker 1: churches are teaching this. And if we really look at ourselves,
40:42
Speaker 1: there's a lot of areas we have not surrendered to
40:45
Speaker 1: the Lord ourselves. Are we doing this right? Are we
40:51
Speaker 1: really surrendered. Have we truly laid our lives down to
40:56
Speaker 1: the Lord? That is a question we all need to
41:04
Speaker 1: ask ourselves. But family, don't be afraid to lose what
41:20
Speaker 1: you can't keep anyway to gain something that you can't lose. You.
41:27
Speaker 1: Let me say that again without the music real quick,
41:30
Speaker 1: because this is a powerful statement. Don't be afraid to
41:36
Speaker 1: lose what you can't keep to gain what you cannot lose.
41:41
Speaker 1: That's another T shirt right there. Jesus said, whoever loses
41:48
Speaker 1: their life for my sake will find it. It's gotta
41:53
Speaker 1: be for his sake. He spelled it out. Hopefully this
41:56
Speaker 1: podcast is episode helps you to understand what that looks like.
42:02
Speaker 1: So let's stop chase chasing these shadows out here and
42:06
Speaker 1: let's step into his light. Come on, y'all, let's step
42:14
Speaker 1: into his lights. It's worth it all we can offer
42:22
Speaker 1: ourselves if we cling to ourselves, all all we have
42:26
Speaker 1: is our insecurities, our anger, our lust, our confusion. That's
42:34
Speaker 1: what we hold on when we hold onto our ow
42:35
Speaker 1: own lives. Right, there's no life in us outside of Christ.
42:47
Speaker 1: And I also feel led.
42:51
Speaker 3: To pray.
42:54
Speaker 1: In this episode as well. You can't lay down your
42:59
Speaker 1: life if you don't know the Lord, if you are
43:02
Speaker 1: not saved, if you have not repented, if you don't
43:05
Speaker 1: know what the gospel is all about. The gospel is this,
43:10
Speaker 1: we are all sinners. We all deserve to go to hell.
43:15
Speaker 1: The Bible says that there's none righteous, no not one,
43:19
Speaker 1: and the wages of sin is death. But the gift
43:23
Speaker 1: of life is Jesus Christ. To get the life is
43:29
Speaker 1: through our Lord and Savior. So that's the first surrender.
43:35
Speaker 1: We have to surrender and give our sins, turn from
43:39
Speaker 1: our sins, and turn to God. So if you're ready
43:43
Speaker 1: to do that, and you're ready to die, you're ready
43:47
Speaker 1: to do this daily or follow me in prayer, say,
43:52
Speaker 1: Heavenly Father, I receive the gift of eternal life. I
43:58
Speaker 1: receive your son, Jesus Christ, who died and rose again
44:06
Speaker 1: on the third day. Lord, I lay my life down.
44:12
Speaker 1: I asked that you will forgive me from my sins.
44:15
Speaker 1: I come to the cross. Help me to die daily
44:19
Speaker 1: as your word commands us, and to follow you daily.
44:24
Speaker 1: I cannot do this without you, Holy Spirit. Allow your
44:31
Speaker 1: power to rest upon me. That I may have the
44:35
Speaker 1: power to lay my life down. Only need to lay
44:39
Speaker 1: it down and lay it at your feet. All the
44:46
Speaker 1: treasures of this world can't compare to knowing you, our Lord.
44:54
Speaker 1: Help us to know you, Help us to surrender to you.
44:56
Speaker 1: Help us to know peace, joy, and love. Help us
45:00
Speaker 1: to grow in the fruits that only come through abiding
45:06
Speaker 1: in you. Help me to develop this daily discipline of
45:10
Speaker 1: laying my life down, picking up my cross and following
45:14
Speaker 1: you and seeking You. Forgive me for my lack of seeking,
45:18
Speaker 1: my lack of prayer, my lack of fasting, my lack
45:25
Speaker 1: and let there be no other gods in my heart
45:28
Speaker 1: left to be, no idols in my heart. There is
45:30
Speaker 1: no room in my heart to serve two masters. So Jesus,
45:35
Speaker 1: we asked that you will fill up our whole hearts,
45:37
Speaker 1: take every area of our hearts, and we will not
45:42
Speaker 1: take it back. We asked this in Jesus' mighty man. Amen, Amen, Amen.
45:54
Speaker 1: If you prayed that prayer posted in a life chat.
45:59
Speaker 1: Once again, I want to out everybody who joins me
46:03
Speaker 1: every day. It's encouraging to me to meet y'all up.

46:20
Speaker 1: I do desire to start a prayer line. Nothing gets

Speaker 1: done without prayer. This top nation was called to take

Speaker 1: the city of Las Vegas, but we can't do that
