Speaker 1: Lives from the Headquarters Club.
0:13
Speaker 2: It's Hog Lost Vegas. Hey, what's going on, y'all? What's
0:36
Speaker 2: going on? Welcome back family to the Gospel of John
0:41
Speaker 2: series right here on the His Hot Radio podcast network.
0:48
Speaker 2: We're diving deep today into the Gospel of John. We're
0:52
Speaker 2: gonna turn the Bible to chapter thirteen and we're gonna
0:56
Speaker 2: pick it back up in verse twenty. We're gonna take
1:00
Speaker 2: it from twenty to verse thirty eight, and that should
1:05
Speaker 2: go ahead and complete that chapter for us now. In
1:09
Speaker 2: this chapter, Jesus exposes the betrayal and reveals what's true
1:19
Speaker 2: right and reveals what true love looks like, even in
1:25
Speaker 2: the midst of his pain, and even in the midst
1:28
Speaker 2: of the fire, even in the midst of it. So
1:32
Speaker 2: we're gonna get into the Word together. We love to
1:35
Speaker 2: go chapter by chapter, verse by verse, and we believe
1:40
Speaker 2: that the ungrafted Word is able to save our souls.
1:44
Speaker 2: We need to have a healthy diet and healthy discipline,
1:49
Speaker 2: a daily discipline. This shouldn't just be every Sunday, right,
1:54
Speaker 2: We shouldn't do this just once a week. I was
1:57
Speaker 2: talking to my brother Corinth the other day and he
2:01
Speaker 2: was talking about how in this group we can get
2:04
Speaker 2: together every day the Fellowship to get in a word
2:10
Speaker 2: and to build us up. Just think about it. If
2:13
Speaker 2: you were in the Olympics and you were training for
2:16
Speaker 2: a particular sport, whether it be soccer or basketball, would
2:22
Speaker 2: you train every day and expect to win a gold
2:25
Speaker 2: medal or a bronze or whatever. Would you expect to
2:30
Speaker 2: be amongst the top competitors. I mean, in this wicked
2:35
Speaker 2: world that we live in today, there's people out doing witchcraft.
2:39
Speaker 2: There's people who are out serving the enemy, and they
2:44
Speaker 2: do it more than just once a week. I mean,
2:46
Speaker 2: look at how committed they are, you know. And the
2:52
Speaker 2: Bible says that people compete in sports to win a
2:57
Speaker 2: corruptible crown. How much more should we compete to win
3:02
Speaker 2: our heavenly crowns? And so that's what it is. Welcome

Speaker 2: explanatory right there. You know what I'm saying. All right,
4:31
Speaker 2: let's go be for Father and prayer. Father, thank you
4:35
Speaker 2: for allowing us to wake up, for allowing us to
4:38
Speaker 2: have another day. Father, be asked that you be with
4:42
Speaker 2: us today, that you will help us to accomplish our task,
4:47
Speaker 2: Help us to accomplish our goals for today. Help us,
4:52
Speaker 2: o God, whether it's work or whether it's school or
4:57
Speaker 2: whatever you have before us, Help us, o God Lord,
4:59
Speaker 2: to invite you into our day, to put you first,
5:05
Speaker 2: that you are truly our first love and Father God,
5:10
Speaker 2: to help us to get out of the word today
5:12
Speaker 2: that you want us to get out. Let our hearts
5:14
Speaker 2: and spirits be open, our minds be open for the
5:19
Speaker 2: planting of the city of your word. And we come
5:21
Speaker 2: against any activity of the enemy to snatch the word
5:24
Speaker 2: out of our hearts. Help us to bear good fruit. Father,
5:29
Speaker 2: look the ungrafted word. Save our souls as we come
5:32
Speaker 2: together in Jesus' name. Amen. All right, all right, Well,
5:44
Speaker 2: this is what some people consider the Last Supper. This
5:50
Speaker 2: situation went down right before the feast of the Passover.
6:01
Speaker 2: This passover feast is a celebration of death angel passing
6:07
Speaker 2: over the nation of Israel while it went and killed
6:11
Speaker 2: the first born of the land of Egypt. They had
6:16
Speaker 2: to put blood on their doorpost in order to be
6:21
Speaker 2: passed over. So they take a sacrificial lamb, and they
6:27
Speaker 2: also sacrifice on this day. Yes, I believe I'm correct
6:33
Speaker 2: on that. Yes, And so Jesus is the true and
6:38
Speaker 2: the real Passover. The blood of Jesus is so powerful
6:44
Speaker 2: no demon in hell can stand against the cross. We see.
6:48
Speaker 2: We don't fight for victory, We fight from victory. And
6:51
Speaker 2: the Bible actually tells us to triumph in the cross.
6:56
Speaker 2: Triumph is more than victory. You are triumphing right, Look
7:01
Speaker 2: up that word. Do a study on triumph. When you're
7:03
Speaker 2: triumphing over the cross, you're excited in celebrating the victory
7:09
Speaker 2: that's already been won by our Lord and master. He
7:13
Speaker 2: has made them an open spectacle. Satan has already been defeated.
7:20
Speaker 2: The only authority he has in your life is what
7:24
Speaker 2: you allow him to have. And he has to deceive you.
7:27
Speaker 2: He has to trick you to get it. He has
7:29
Speaker 2: to get you to agree. That's all. You got to
7:33
Speaker 2: be careful with your words, be careful what you profess.
7:37
Speaker 2: If you say, oh, this is never going to happen
7:39
Speaker 2: and I'm never going to do this and that, you
7:41
Speaker 2: just cursed yourself and you gave Satan power over you
7:46
Speaker 2: in that area. Whatever areas you're struggling, you need to
7:50
Speaker 2: speak the word. You need to send the word. You
7:53
Speaker 2: need to believe the word. You need to strengthen your faith,
7:57
Speaker 2: and faith comes by hearing. And this is what we
8:01
Speaker 2: do right here on the podcast. And also it helps
8:03
Speaker 2: us with our daily disciplines. We are developing spiritual discipline.
8:09
Speaker 2: This is your gym session, your spiritual gym session. Just
8:13
Speaker 2: by showing up is a victory. Just knowing that we're
8:17
Speaker 2: gonna meet is a victory. Just think there's a reason
8:22
Speaker 2: why the Bible says do not forsake the assimbiling, the
8:27
Speaker 2: gathering together. Amen. Your walk with God is gonna be victorious,
8:37
Speaker 2: determined on how disciplined, how committed, and how loyal we
8:41
Speaker 2: are to him. Amen. All right. So the Last Supper
8:48
Speaker 2: in Jesus just talked about who is going He's gonna
8:52
Speaker 2: be betrayed, and so his disciples are going to ask,
8:55
Speaker 2: you know, who is it? And all this and so
8:58
Speaker 2: all this is gonna come out out in the story
9:02
Speaker 2: as we go verse by verse. So we're gonna tackle
9:09
Speaker 2: verse twenty as we started off. I see it says
9:25
Speaker 2: here that most assuredly, I say to you, he who
9:29
Speaker 2: receives whomever I sin receives me, and he who receives
9:35
Speaker 2: me receives him who sent me. Now, Jesus here identifies
9:40
Speaker 2: his representatives with himself and with the Father. Now, to
9:48
Speaker 2: receive a true servant of Christ is to receive Christ himself. Now,
9:59
Speaker 2: this remarminds us that how we treat God's people reflect
10:03
Speaker 2: our heart towards God, and that includes even husband and wives.
10:10
Speaker 2: Right the Bible says that the husband is the priest
10:14
Speaker 2: of the home, the king of the home. The wife
10:18
Speaker 2: is to submit to her husband, but the husband is
10:21
Speaker 2: to love his wife and lay his life down for her.
10:26
Speaker 2: But sometimes in a marriage relationship, it's a great example
10:29
Speaker 2: of your heart towards God. A lot of women that
10:36
Speaker 2: don't respect their husband because they don't think that he
10:39
Speaker 2: deserves it, or they like to chop their husband down
10:42
Speaker 2: into pieces because in their own sight, they've sized them up,
10:48
Speaker 2: they've judged them, and maybe he is lacking because we
10:53
Speaker 2: are not perfect. But this reflects our relationship with God,
11:01
Speaker 2: because the Bible says to submit to your husband as
11:05
Speaker 2: unto the Lord, and to not just that we're picking
11:09
Speaker 2: on the girls now. And for the husband to lay
11:12
Speaker 2: his life down as an example of Christ laid his
11:15
Speaker 2: life down for the Church. And so Jesus is supposed
11:20
Speaker 2: to be the reason why we love each other. That's
11:24
Speaker 2: why relationships fall out because they fall out of love
11:29
Speaker 2: with Jesus. Now, to receive a true servant of Christ
11:36
Speaker 2: is to receive him Christ himself. It's not just about respect,
11:43
Speaker 2: it's about recognizing God's presence in those he sends our way,
11:50
Speaker 2: Do you recognize God's presence? Do you see God of working?
11:56
Speaker 2: We are created in his image and in his life.
12:00
Speaker 2: Miss We need to treat each other with way more
12:05
Speaker 2: honor and way more respect. Even just a common stranger
12:11
Speaker 2: was created in God's image. Just think about that, Amen.
12:16
Speaker 2: Verse twenty one. When Jesus has said these things, he
12:22
Speaker 2: was troubled in spirit and testified and said, most assuredly,
12:27
Speaker 2: I say to you, one of you will be training.
12:33
Speaker 2: Then the disciples looked at one another, perplexed about whom
12:38
Speaker 2: he spoke. Wow. Now, even though Jesus knew who it
12:47
Speaker 2: was from the beginning, and Jesus even said that he
12:52
Speaker 2: chose him, have I not chose the twelve? But yet
12:55
Speaker 2: one of you is a devil? I think it's very
12:59
Speaker 2: interesting that his spirit was troubled. Jesus had to go
13:07
Speaker 2: through his own fire. And although he is God, there
13:15
Speaker 2: is a very human side to him. He's one hundred
13:18
Speaker 2: percent man as well, and so he was troubled about that.
13:23
Speaker 2: He was troubled about Judas betraying him. Now, real love
13:38
Speaker 2: doesn't disappear when people hurt you. This is what Jesus
13:43
Speaker 2: is showing us. He's showing us his strength even through sorrow.
13:54
Speaker 2: He could have had a heartened heart. I mean, just
13:58
Speaker 2: think about it. How would have you or myself, how
14:05
Speaker 2: would have we treated Judas if we knew what Jesus
14:09
Speaker 2: knew it? Would you even be troubled? You know this
14:13
Speaker 2: guy is about to betray you, stab you in the back.
14:18
Speaker 2: Would you like harden your heart towards him and be
14:21
Speaker 2: like ready, you know, to get back at him, get
14:23
Speaker 2: your revenge, and you know, get what he deserved. No,
14:27
Speaker 2: Jesus had a troubled heart over this man. That just
14:34
Speaker 2: shows how much he loves us, and it just shows
14:38
Speaker 2: his heart Verse twenty two through twenty five. Then the
14:50
Speaker 2: disciples looked at one another, perplexed about whom he spoke.
14:55
Speaker 2: Now there was leaning on Jesus's bosom, one of his
14:59
Speaker 2: disciples whom Jesus loved, Simon Peter therefore motion to him
15:07
Speaker 2: to ask who it was of whom he spake. Then,
15:14
Speaker 2: leaning back on Jesus's breast, he said to him, Lord,
15:20
Speaker 2: who is it? Man? I'm jealous? Hallelujah. He was able
15:29
Speaker 2: to kick back and lean and lay on our savior Hallelujah. Now, John,
15:36
Speaker 2: Often he would describe himself as the disciple whom Jesus loved.
15:41
Speaker 2: Not out of pride, I wouldn't say, but by identity.
15:47
Speaker 2: His worth was rooted in Christ's love. Now, how much
15:52
Speaker 2: more should our worth be rooted in that? Amen? Where
15:56
Speaker 2: you get your identity from? Where do you get your
15:58
Speaker 2: wealth from? How do you measure yourself as far as
16:02
Speaker 2: how people treat you or what people say about you? Now,
16:08
Speaker 2: that's the same way we should see ourselves. You're not
16:12
Speaker 2: you're mistakes. You are who Jesus says, you are loved,
16:22
Speaker 2: chosen and forgiven. I'm under the fire right now as
16:29
Speaker 2: I speak, and as I said in my testimony, I
16:34
Speaker 2: was in a weird situation in my first marriage. And
16:39
Speaker 2: I have three beautiful boys from my first marriage, but
16:49
Speaker 2: we're kind of apart from each other right now. My
16:53
Speaker 2: boys are really going through it and it breaks my
16:57
Speaker 2: heart to see and I really don't don't have a
17:01
Speaker 2: strong connection with them. And so, you know, we have
17:08
Speaker 2: a presence online. You know, I have a DJ service
17:13
Speaker 2: that I do on the side to help our nonprofit,
17:17
Speaker 2: and we run yelp in a different places. You can
17:20
Speaker 2: see our reviews on our website, his hoot nation dot com.
17:24
Speaker 2: But every so often I see, you know, one of
17:27
Speaker 2: my sons get on there and they post a nasty review,
17:33
Speaker 2: you know, just real nasty, really trying to get at me,
17:36
Speaker 2: you know, really trying to to tear me down, you know,
17:40
Speaker 2: and to destroy my character and things like that. And
17:44
Speaker 2: I've shared in my testimony that my first marriage was
17:48
Speaker 2: it was crazy, and I'll probably share it again soon
17:53
Speaker 2: as the Lord opens that door. And at first it
17:58
Speaker 2: caught me off guard when I saw it, you know,
18:00
Speaker 2: I mean, he posting a podcast, he posts on yep,
18:03
Speaker 2: he posts in a lot of different spots, just randomly.
18:07
Speaker 2: And this is my son that I love. I love
18:09
Speaker 2: all my boys and keep us in prayer. But the
18:16
Speaker 2: reason why I'm bringing this up is because if I
18:23
Speaker 2: allow that to linger in my heart, if I allow
18:28
Speaker 2: these negative reviews to just distract me and I start
18:35
Speaker 2: focusing on them and all this stuff, it would hinder
18:39
Speaker 2: me from what God has called me to do. I
18:45
Speaker 2: have to remind myself I am who God says I am.
18:51
Speaker 2: Of course, I've asked for forgiveness, I've asked for reconciliation
18:55
Speaker 2: in these relationships, but I got to remember that I'm
18:58
Speaker 2: loved like it wouldn't matter at the end of the day,
19:01
Speaker 2: is what does God say about me. I'm chosen, I'm forgiven,
19:07
Speaker 2: and I know that He's gonna open up doors for
19:11
Speaker 2: my family, my boys to be restored to me. Amen,
19:18
Speaker 2: And so that minister to me, let's go to verse
19:24
Speaker 2: twenty six.
19:26
Speaker 1: Looks like you lost another one.
19:27
Speaker 2: We're gonna take it all the way to twenty seven.
19:32
Speaker 2: Jesus answered, it is he to whom I shall give
19:36
Speaker 2: a piece of bread when I have dipped it. Having
19:41
Speaker 2: dipped the bread, he gave it to Judas Scariot, the
19:46
Speaker 2: son of Simon. Now after the piece of bread, saying
19:50
Speaker 2: to enter him, And Jesus said to him, what you
19:54
Speaker 2: do do quickly? Now this is crazy right here, even
20:08
Speaker 2: this act dipping the bread, that was even a gesture
20:13
Speaker 2: of friendship. Jesus gave Judas one last opportunity for repentance.
20:23
Speaker 2: Sometimes God still gives you grace even when your heart's
20:28
Speaker 2: halfway gone. But if you keep rejecting truth, at one point,
20:37
Speaker 2: the enemy will take over what's left thinking about it,
20:44
Speaker 2: if you keep rebelling, if you keep rejecting truth, if
20:53
Speaker 2: you're constantly saying no to the Holy Spirit, or if
20:57
Speaker 2: you're constantly ignoring the leading of the Spirit, and if
21:04
Speaker 2: you're reading the Word but you're not a doer of
21:07
Speaker 2: the word, it can take us to a sad place. Remember, beloved,
21:16
Speaker 2: the Bible calls us sheep. You know what I mean.
21:20
Speaker 2: There's no superman in the kingdom except for Jesus. But
21:24
Speaker 2: the rest of us, from the pastors on down, we're
21:28
Speaker 2: just sheep. And if you look at sheep, sheep are
21:32
Speaker 2: like the dumbest animals on the planet, Like they can't
21:38
Speaker 2: even live in the wilderness without a shepherd, Like they
21:41
Speaker 2: need human intervention. I can't think of any other animals
21:48
Speaker 2: out there that needs that. If they were left to
21:51
Speaker 2: their own, they were probably the predators and everything out there.
21:55
Speaker 2: They probably would have been wiped off the earth years ago. Us,
22:03
Speaker 2: that is us, beloved, Our hearts can lead us astray.
22:07
Speaker 2: Do not trust your heart. This is why I say
22:11
Speaker 2: you got to develop that daily discipline, because the Bible
22:15
Speaker 2: says we got to renew our minds daily. Why do
22:18
Speaker 2: you think we got to renew our minds? Think about
22:21
Speaker 2: it daily? Why do you think the Bible says crucify
22:26
Speaker 2: your flesh like kill it daily. I used to be
22:32
Speaker 2: into this show Walking Dead years ago when it was
22:37
Speaker 2: real popular and when it first came out. And if
22:43
Speaker 2: you really want to look at that show, you had
22:45
Speaker 2: zombies that were walking around. They took over the society
22:52
Speaker 2: and they were just killing the people that were left.
23:00
Speaker 2: That's the picture of us outside of the Cross. Your
23:05
Speaker 2: flesh is a dead carcass walking around all the like.
23:11
Speaker 2: Think about what really comes out of your flesh. Think
23:16
Speaker 2: about the jealousy and the envy, the lies, the deception,
23:20
Speaker 2: the fear, the insecurity. No, there's no good thing that
23:24
Speaker 2: comes from the flesh. You gotta kill it, and you
23:27
Speaker 2: gotta put the word in your heart. We got to
23:30
Speaker 2: put our trust in God's word. People put too much
23:34
Speaker 2: trust in their own mind, their own thoughts, their own
23:37
Speaker 2: emotions and desires when they're being deceived. At one point,
23:41
Speaker 2: the enemy can take over if you continue to resist
23:47
Speaker 2: the leading of the spirit. And one of those is
23:53
Speaker 2: just simply by meeting us here on a podcast every day,
23:58
Speaker 2: just so that you can renew your mind, so that
24:02
Speaker 2: we can fellowship, get in a life chat, so that
24:04
Speaker 2: we can pray for each other and hold each other accountable.
24:09
Speaker 2: Right because our hearts are so deceitful. We can't even
24:14
Speaker 2: trust ourselves. Right, you can be your own Judas if
24:20
Speaker 2: you're not careful, all right, Verse twenty eight and thirty.
24:34
Speaker 2: But no one at the table knew for what reason
24:38
Speaker 2: he said this to him? For some thought, because Judas
24:43
Speaker 2: had the money box, that Jesus had said to him
24:47
Speaker 2: buy those things we need for the feast, or that
24:54
Speaker 2: he should give something to the poor, having received it
25:00
Speaker 2: piece of bread. He then went out immediately, and it
25:06
Speaker 2: was night. This dude didn't even hesitate. He went out immediately.
25:11
Speaker 2: He like, like, first of all, did it dawn him
25:16
Speaker 2: that Jesus says, yeah, I know who one of you
25:21
Speaker 2: is going to be trading? Like did that catch his attention? Like?
25:28
Speaker 2: Where was his conviction or discernment? He knew it was him,
25:35
Speaker 2: even when the disciples were looking around the table asking
25:39
Speaker 2: is it me? Is it me? And Judas had a
25:43
Speaker 2: heart issue. I believe that his god was Mammon because
25:48
Speaker 2: he used to steal money out of the money box,
25:54
Speaker 2: as his scripture said. When the alabaster box was poured
25:58
Speaker 2: out on the Lord preparing him for his burial, he
26:03
Speaker 2: objected to it because of the cost. He was thinking
26:08
Speaker 2: of what he could steal. He could have stolen from it,
26:11
Speaker 2: like where was his heart at? And so thirty pieces
26:15
Speaker 2: of silver one he thought it was worth cashing in
26:21
Speaker 2: his relationship with Christ, the savior of the universe. Let
26:29
Speaker 2: us not be the Judas. Let us not sell out
26:32
Speaker 2: for money, let us not be that Amen. I mean,
26:41
Speaker 2: this is this is good. We can get a lot
26:43
Speaker 2: from it. I could spend the rest of the podcast
26:46
Speaker 2: just on Judas right now, but we got to keep going. Now.
26:53
Speaker 2: We also need to look at John's phrase. And it
26:57
Speaker 2: was night. Now he's not just talking about the time,
27:03
Speaker 2: but it's very symbolic. Jesus walked into darkness, and he
27:10
Speaker 2: did it both physically and spiritually. See, when you walk
27:14
Speaker 2: away from Jesus, you walk into darkness. You need to
27:21
Speaker 2: stay close to the life, and your heart will deceive you.
27:25
Speaker 2: Your heart will allow you to walk right into darkness
27:29
Speaker 2: if you're not careful, all right, Verse thirty one to
27:37
Speaker 2: thirty three. So when he had gone out, Jesus said,
27:45
Speaker 2: now the son of Man is glorified, and God is
27:50
Speaker 2: glorified in him. If God is glorified in him, God
27:55
Speaker 2: will also glorify him in himself. And glorylorify him immediately. Wow,
28:07
Speaker 2: this is amazing, little children. I shall be with you
28:15
Speaker 2: a little while longer. You will seek me. And as
28:20
Speaker 2: I said to the Jews where I am going, you
28:23
Speaker 2: cannot come. So now I say to you, all right,
28:31
Speaker 2: let's look at this. Let's go back to verse thirty one.
28:40
Speaker 2: So when he had gone out, Jesus said, now the
28:43
Speaker 2: son of Man is glorified, and God is glorified in him.
28:47
Speaker 2: Little children, I shall be with you a little while longer.
28:52
Speaker 2: Even as the shadow of the cross loomed over our savior,
28:56
Speaker 2: Jesus spoke of glory, suffering God's plan of redemption. It
29:04
Speaker 2: was being fulfilled right then and right there. God can
29:11
Speaker 2: turn even your darkest trial into a moment of joy
29:16
Speaker 2: and of glory. What the enemy means to harm you,
29:20
Speaker 2: God can use it to reveal his power. Even though
29:26
Speaker 2: he meant it for evil, God can turn it around
29:28
Speaker 2: for good. And I want you to notice, Jesus, I
29:35
Speaker 2: mean a Judas didn't hesitate. He immediately went out into
29:40
Speaker 2: the dark so that he could betray his savior. And
29:49
Speaker 2: immediately the Lord's response was the focus on God. He
29:59
Speaker 2: started praising God. He started focusing on his father. He
30:03
Speaker 2: was focusing on heavenly things. That's an example for us.
30:09
Speaker 2: You may be going through the fire, someone may have
30:12
Speaker 2: betrayed you. We know that we're living in some crazy
30:17
Speaker 2: times right now. People on your job maybe out to
30:25
Speaker 2: get you, or even in your family, marriages may be
30:29
Speaker 2: breaking apart, maybe even betrayed in some particular way. We
30:36
Speaker 2: need to immediately focus on heaven, to immediately focus on
30:41
Speaker 2: the Lord. Immediately begin to lift him up and to
30:49
Speaker 2: give him praise. Amen. Verse thirty four thirty five. A
31:11
Speaker 2: new commandment. I give to you that you love one
31:15
Speaker 2: another as I have loved you, But you also love
31:20
Speaker 2: one another. By this, all will know that you are
31:26
Speaker 2: my disciples if you have loved one for another. Now,
31:44
Speaker 2: the newness of this commandment is not the fact that
31:49
Speaker 2: he's telling us to love right, but it's the quality
31:56
Speaker 2: of the love as I have loved you, And the
32:02
Speaker 2: way the Lord loves us is a sacrificial love. His
32:07
Speaker 2: love was sacrifice, sacrificial. You can't claim to follow Jesus
32:14
Speaker 2: and not walk in love. It's impossible. His love is
32:20
Speaker 2: proof of his presence in your life. Let me say
32:26
Speaker 2: that again. His love is proof of his presence that
32:34
Speaker 2: is in your life. Amen. It should be love. That's
32:43
Speaker 2: the first thing I look for when I join in
32:47
Speaker 2: ministry or when I see someone ministring. If I don't
32:52
Speaker 2: see the love of God, I'm not drawn to that ministry.
32:56
Speaker 2: I'm really not drawn to that person. If I see
32:58
Speaker 2: a person is always rude and always tearing someone down,
33:03
Speaker 2: always critical or criticizing, and someone that is just not
33:08
Speaker 2: expressing the love of God. Ben, I don't know. I'm
33:18
Speaker 2: a little sus right as my children would say. You know,
33:22
Speaker 2: a little sus like I need the love of God.
33:28
Speaker 2: I need the love of God in my life around me,
33:30
Speaker 2: in me, I need the love of God. Now, there's
33:33
Speaker 2: enough craziness out in this world. Let us be producers
33:39
Speaker 2: of God's love. Amen. Let us invite His presence in
33:43
Speaker 2: us so that we can bear that fruit in the world. Hallelujah,
33:50
Speaker 2: all right. Verse thirty six through thirty eight. As we
33:54
Speaker 2: close out Semon, Peter says to him, Lord, where are
33:59
Speaker 2: you going? Jesus answer him, where I am going. You
34:03
Speaker 2: cannot follow me now, but you shall follow me Afterward.
34:09
Speaker 2: Peter said to him, Lord, why can I not follow
34:13
Speaker 2: you now? I will lay down my life for your sake.
34:19
Speaker 2: Jesus said to him, will you lay down your life
34:22
Speaker 2: for my sake. Most as shortly I say to you,
34:27
Speaker 2: the rooster shall not crow till you have denied me
34:31
Speaker 2: three times. Now, this is the famous denial of Peter.
34:39
Speaker 2: Jesus prophesies this. Now. I believe that Peter was sincere.
34:46
Speaker 2: He was sincere in his intentions, but he trusted in
34:51
Speaker 2: his own strength. Remember I said a few minutes ago,
34:53
Speaker 2: we can't even trust our own hearts. We end up
35:00
Speaker 2: going to hell is because we became our own judas.
35:05
Speaker 2: We betrayed ourselves by following our own hearts, trusting in
35:10
Speaker 2: our own strength and our own ability. That's why God
35:14
Speaker 2: hates pride so much, because we need him. But Jesus
35:22
Speaker 2: had to teach him humility through failure. Sometimes your failure
35:27
Speaker 2: is a lesson. Whatever you have failed in your walk
35:33
Speaker 2: with the Lord up to this point, let it be
35:37
Speaker 2: a lesson in humility. Let it be an eye opener
35:42
Speaker 2: to let you know, like you can't do this in
35:44
Speaker 2: your own strength. You need the Lord. God allows moments
35:49
Speaker 2: of weaknesses, so we learn that strength doesn't come from
35:55
Speaker 2: our own confidence, it comes from His grace. That's why
36:04
Speaker 2: the Bible says, come boldly before the throne of grace.
36:07
Speaker 2: What do you think a prayer life is for? What
36:10
Speaker 2: is that all about? To go get what we need
36:13
Speaker 2: from the source. If we need holiness, he's got it.
36:19
Speaker 2: If we thirst, he's got that. If we hunger, he's
36:23
Speaker 2: got that. If we need forgiveness, we find it there.
36:28
Speaker 2: God can change any situation in circumstance that we can
36:35
Speaker 2: bring before him. But that's the point we have to
36:39
Speaker 2: come to him. Amen. You see, real discipleship is proven
36:47
Speaker 2: not by titles or talk, but is by love, the
36:55
Speaker 2: kind that endures betrayal, even it endures darkness and it
37:04
Speaker 2: endures weaknesses. Amen. We need the love of God to
37:14
Speaker 2: feel our hearts. Hallelujah. All right, we'll be right back
37:21
Speaker 2: after this music break.
37:24
Speaker 3: You are listening to the light like Las Vegas. This
37:28
Speaker 3: is the his Hop radio show.

40:21
Speaker 1: Let me find out you.
40:36
Speaker 3: Are listening to the light of Las Vegas. This is
40:40
Speaker 3: the hiss Hop radio show.
40:46
Speaker 2: All Right, we're back. That was a third day the
40:50
Speaker 2: mouthpiece with let me find Out. Yeah, see, we gotta
40:56
Speaker 2: find out. We gotta search our hearts, and the best
41:01
Speaker 2: way we can do that is when we measure it
41:03
Speaker 2: against the word of God. Amen. All right, now it's
41:12
Speaker 2: time for the accountability Partners. Segments will postseas in a
41:17
Speaker 2: life chat as well. And so this segment was birth
41:22
Speaker 2: out of the fact that I was working the altar
41:25
Speaker 2: at church and I noticed my brothers and sisters they
41:30
Speaker 2: are struggling with the same sin that they're struggling with
41:34
Speaker 2: a year ago. You know, we're supposed to be growing.
41:36
Speaker 2: We're supposed to progress in our walk with God. We're
41:40
Speaker 2: not just supposed to stay stuck and just struggle with
41:42
Speaker 2: the same old area in our lives. We're supposed to
41:47
Speaker 2: let that go and give it to God and get deliverance.
41:52
Speaker 2: And sometimes you need help, you need that partner. You
41:55
Speaker 2: need agreement in prayer. If you look up, do a
41:58
Speaker 2: study on agreement and how powerful agreement is. The Bible
42:03
Speaker 2: tells us one can chase a thousand, but two can
42:05
Speaker 2: chase ten thousands, tens of thousands. Right, that's why marriage
42:11
Speaker 2: could be so powerful when you're on one accord. Unity
42:15
Speaker 2: is powerful. Satan hates unity. He'll do everything he can
42:20
Speaker 2: to destroy unity of any family, any church, any ministry,
42:25
Speaker 2: anything significant for God. That's why we've got to contend
42:30
Speaker 2: for the unity. And one of the ways to do
42:34
Speaker 2: it is to get real right just right here is
42:38
Speaker 2: like I said before, like this is your small group
42:41
Speaker 2: on the radio station, because some of us don't have
42:44
Speaker 2: that opportunity to have small groups. Some churches are either
42:48
Speaker 2: way too big to get to know each other, or
42:52
Speaker 2: some pastors just don't even teach or encourage small groups. Right.
42:57
Speaker 2: They don't trust their people to gather to get other
43:00
Speaker 2: in groups because they think they're gonna run off with
43:03
Speaker 2: their members or something. I don't know, but the Bible
43:07
Speaker 2: encourages it. And so right here, if you want to participate,
43:14
Speaker 2: at the top left menu, click on podcast and click
43:18
Speaker 2: on the Hiss Hot Radio podcast and fill up the
43:23
Speaker 2: form like at least go through the questions. Use it
43:26
Speaker 2: as like a self check and I would suggest do
43:29
Speaker 2: it daily just so that you can, you know, check
43:33
Speaker 2: off like how am I doing spiritually and actually use integrity.
43:38
Speaker 2: You gotta be honest with yourself, remember your heart will
43:41
Speaker 2: lie to you. If you want to see Judas look
43:45
Speaker 2: in the mirror. Your flesh will betray you in a second.
43:51
Speaker 2: So be honest because God already knows right, it's between
43:56
Speaker 2: you and God. It's not me. I'm nobody really, I'm
44:00
Speaker 2: just a tool or a vessel. But this is for
44:03
Speaker 2: your walk with the Lord, so that you can be
44:05
Speaker 2: honest with him and do a self check and then
44:10
Speaker 2: you can fill it out and request a follow up
44:13
Speaker 2: and then myself or someone on the team, or maybe
44:15
Speaker 2: we can if you don't mind, we could read your
44:21
Speaker 2: response or talk about it life you're on the podcast
44:26
Speaker 2: and as a family work through the issues. And then
44:31
Speaker 2: the point of it is to get to the point
44:33
Speaker 2: of victory and to apply the word to it. Right,
44:38
Speaker 2: we need godly counsel and so yeah, that's how you
44:44
Speaker 2: want to if you want to participate with that. And
44:47
Speaker 2: also we give out a daily challenge as well, and
44:52
Speaker 2: I post this also in the Life Chat. The challenge
44:55
Speaker 2: is for you to ask your accountability partner, if you
44:57
