  Speaker 1: ties into our accountability partner segment. We will get into
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: that later in the podcast. But is there to help
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: us stay on that narrow path? You know what I mean?
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: Because broad is the road that leads to destruction, and
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: why is the gate? And many are they who are
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: on that road. So those of us who are on
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: the narrow road, we got to help each other stay
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: on that road and remain accountable to one another. And
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: that is going to help us make it. Ain't no
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: such thing as a lone ranger Christian, you know what
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: I mean. We need the fellows of our brothers and sisters.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: We need a mentor, We need a pastor, a leader,
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: someone who's got some spiritual victory, someone who knows a word,
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: because on this podcast, we do believe that the ingrafted
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: word is able to save our soul. So we take
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: time out every day. It's a spiritual discipline to meet
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: up every day to get encouraged to do something for
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: our spirit. Right, we go to the gym, we go
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: to work. Well, we got to do something to feed
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: our spirit man as well. And this is a part
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: of it, jumping on this podcast. But you do need
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: to develop your own personal time with the Lord. Amen.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: And speaking of that, let's go ahead and pray. Oh
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: Heavenly Father, thank you for waking us up. Thank you
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: Lord that you've allowed us to open our eyes this morning.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: Thank you for allowing us to see another sun rise
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: in sunset. Oh God. Let us go throughout this day
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: praising You, worshiping you in your presence, Oh God. We
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: exalt the mighty name of Jesus. God. We asked that
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: you bless every listener, Oh God. We asked that the
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: Holy Spirit will touch every heart. D'all Father God, Oh Lord,
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: all men unto Jesus, So God, Yes, Lord, we released
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: the power of the Holy Spirit, Lord God, to convert souls,
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: Oh God, to set free God, to open up eyes
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: of understanding, O God, to understand righteousness, judgment in the
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: word of God. Amen, and all God's people said, hallelujah.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: So I do want to give a quick update. We
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: had our event over the weekend. We just had our
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: lit for the LAMB event over at the Cambridge Recreation Center.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: It was amazing. The police officers came out and play
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: basketball with the children. They had a strict warning though,
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: for the children not to play on roadblocks or to
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: be careful. There's a lot of predators on that platform.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: And I told the officers about his high radio app,
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: like okay, well we got platforms with predators are out there. Well,
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: this platform is to bring them to life. You know.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: We play positive music, music that will feed their souls.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: We have this live chat. We want to promote the
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: mighty name of Jesus on this platform. So they took
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: the QR code. They're gonna help us push this app in.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: I encourage it for y'all as well. You know, if
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: you have specially youth and young adults, they are into
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: to the hip hop scene or any type of genre.

  Speaker 1: You know, we cater to everyone. We want to win all.

  Speaker 1: You know, I'm saying we want to win everybody. So
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: make sure you download the app, make sure you share it,
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: subscribe to it, get the word out. We got to
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: rescue these children. I mean, if you can't play innocent
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: video game nowadays without predators, like come on now, anyway,
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: it was great. We passed out toys and a lot
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: of things like that. We got updates on the app
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: if you go to the top left menu, click on
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: highlights and then you'll see some some updates from the
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: event where steady uploading more. And we got more on
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: our social media as well. Just look for mister his
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: hot and you get some updates on that, and stay
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: up to date with us because we got more shows
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: in store. Hallelujah. All right, So acts chapter one, let's
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: dive into it, and I'm coming at you from the
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: new King James. And it says, then Saul was still
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord,
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: went to the High Priest, and he asked letters from
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: him to the synagogues of Damascus, so that if he
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: found any who were of the way, whether men or women,
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: he might bring them bound to Jerusalem. Amen. Now, then Saul,
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: still breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord,
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: went to the High Priest. Now Saul was relent less,
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: beloved man. He thinks you've seen some crazy stuff. Saul
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: was like very zealous for his religion of the day.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: Now his hatred towards Christians. Was not passive at all.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: He was violent, and he was consumed by it. Now,
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: this shows how dangerous religious zeal can be without a
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: relationship with God and with the Holy Spirit. Right, Saul
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: thought he was serving God, but he was actually fighting God.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: A lot of people are gonna be surprised. It's gonna
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: be a crazy, crazy, shocking wake up call when you
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: realize the very person that you were fighting against, the
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: very person that you were hating on, the very person
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: that you were persecuting by doing it to them, you
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: were doing it actually doing it to God. That's why
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: we have to be careful how we treat people. If
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: it's a husband and wife, if the wife does not
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: respect the husband, you're treating God that way. If the
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: husband doesn't love the wife, the husband is treating God
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: that way. Because these are his commandments. He takes it personal. Right,
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: we don't want to find ourselves fighting against God. Hey man,
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: we're actually gonna see that later on in this book,
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: and asking letters from him to the synagogues of the Masters,
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: so that if anyone found who were of this way,
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: he might bring them bound to Jerusalem. Now, the Way
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: was the earliest name for Christianity emphasizing relationship and not religion.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: That was beautiful. Actually, that was an emphasis behind that
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: term the way. Now Christianity isn't just belief, it's a
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: way of life. Now, Saul wanted to arrest the lifestyle,
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: not just silence the message. Can you believe that he
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: wanted to arrest the lifestyle? Now ask yourself, would you
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: be arrested? Would your lifestyle qualify you to the modern
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: day Sauls of today to be brought to the synagogues
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: and to be putting handcuffs and to get arrested, or
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: would your lifestyle look like any other sinner out there?
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: There is supposed to be a difference. Amen. Verse three.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: As he journeyed and came near Damascus, and suddenly a
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: light shone around him from heaven. Then he fell to
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: the ground and heard a voice singing to him, Saul, Saul,
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: why are you persecuting me? Amen? That's awesome right there?
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: And so you know, I gotta say something about Damascus, right.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: You know? That was my first name I went by
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: when we started His Hot Nation. I don't necessarily consider
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: myself a DJ, you know, That's why I go by
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: mister his Hot because there's some awesome DJs out there.
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: I'm actually just learning how to do it myself, but
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: I'm not seeing them. I was DJ Damascus, even though
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: I was called DJ to Damascus. But you know, I
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: used to use D road for short, and I just
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: I was drawn to that name, Damascus Road, and then
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: I switched it over to mister hits Hot. But on
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: this road to Damascus, God interrupted Saul, and he did
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: it in a personal way. He personally knocked him to
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: the ground. Right, nobody's too far gone. God knows exactly
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: when and how to confront rebellion. Hallelujah. And I send
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: this out to my stepdaughter right now, who is really
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: really going through some things right now. We need to
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: keep her in prayer. Her name is Keith Mari is
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: going through some strong then we need God's protection over
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: her life. Then he fell to the ground and heard
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: a voice saying to him, Saul, Saul, why are you
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: persecuting me? Now? Jesus identified personally with his people right
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: as I was saying before, you could be guilty of
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: fighting against God himself. When believers are attacked, Christ takes
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: it personally. We can't hurt the church without touching Jesus.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: The Church cannot be hurt. They cannot do anything to
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: the Church that Jesus will not take personally. That's why
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: we got to be careful with our haters. They don't
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: realize it. People in our jobs who are trying to
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: fire us. You know, people at school, teachers or students
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: that are trying to bully us, especially for faith in Christ.
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: They are going to be judged one day, and it's
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: going to be scary, and they're going to realize what
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: they've done. That's why the word says to love our enemies,
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: do good to those who spitefully use us, because our
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: heart is to win them to Christ. A man, you
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: don't want your worst enemy to go to hell, all right?
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: Verse five And he said, who are you? Lord? Then
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: the Lord said, I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: It is hard for you to kick against the goads.
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: So he trembled and astonished, said Lord, what do you
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: want me to do? Then the Lord said to him,
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: arise and go into the city, and you shall be
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: told what you must do. Amen. Hallelujah. Now this shattered
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: solves theology right here. The moment you realize Jesus is alive,
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: everything changes. Hallelujah. I'll tell you what it has changed
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: for me. Then it should make an impact and it
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: should change, and it will change our community once our
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: neighbors and our family members and loved ones realize that
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: Jesus is alive, he is risen. Amen. That's the whole
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: point we have to preach Christ crucified and resurrected. He
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: is alive. So he trembled and it's done, and said, Lord,
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: what do you want me to do? True conversion leads
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: to submission. You can't separate the two. You can't call
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: yourself converted and still rebel against the Lord. And that's
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: the trick in the enemy, the trick on the enemy.
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: He wants you to remain rebellious. He wants you to
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: remain independent and selfish. When God wants a relationship with you,
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: then it's more like a child parent relationship. It's a
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: master slave relationship. Like we have to be submitted to
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: our God and our King to have a true relationship
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: with him. It's a beautiful thing to be his bond servant.
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: This is the right response. Wants you to encounter Jesus.
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: That excuse is but obedience is the goal right now,
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: Verse seven. And the men who journeyed with him stood speechless,
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: hearing a voice, but seeing no one. They saw a
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: rose from the ground, and when his eyes were open,
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: he saw no one. But they led him by the
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: hand and brought him to Damascus, and he was there
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: three days without sight, and neither ate nor drink. Wow,
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: this was a powerful conversion. So they heard something, but
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: they didn't understand it. Fully, we're talking about them. Many
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: the men who journeyed with Paul, they heard something. He
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: could witness guy's power and still miss his voice. If
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: your heart isn't open, now, that's scary. You could be
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: that close. You could be around it your whole life
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: and not be converted. That would be horrible the soul
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: of rose. But when his eyes are open, he saw
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: no one. Three days without sight, neither ate nor drink.
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: Now Saul's physical blindness mirrored his for more his former
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: If I can speak spiritual blindness right, sin will always
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: blind people. That's why people around us are so blind.
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: They really don't know what's going on right spiritually. If
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: they I was talking to a person in you know,
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: he was just sharing his relationship status with me, and uh,
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: you know, my heart really uh, you know, we really
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: need to pray for people around us, because some people
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: think they can shack up. They think it's a requirement
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: to live with someone before they marry them. And of course,
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: you know, I've talked to females in the past, you know, me,
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: I used to be a womanizer, you know, but females
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: in the past, they always wanted to, you know, try
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: it out. They wanted a test drive. You know, I'm
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: talking about being intimate and getting in bed or whatever.
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: You know, They're like, you know, before I marry you,
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: I need to know you know, what's going on. And
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: I'm like, no, that is sin, right, Like you don't
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: want to play around with sin. The Bible says no
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: sex outside of marriage, and a lot of people don't understand, Like,
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: you cannot play your own God, you cannot make up
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: the rules as you go. Our heart is to be
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: obedient to the Lord. You gotta trust God that he
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: will take care of all the issues in all of
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: our struggles. Amen. And so a lot of people are
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: blind to that. But God sometimes removes our vision so
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: he can reset our direction. God will open up our
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: eyes and our prayer is for our family members and
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: loved ones to have their eyes open. We need to
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: add that to our prayer lists. Aymen, verseitim. Now there
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: was a certain disciple of Damascus, or should I say,
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: a certain disciples at Damascus name and Annius. And to
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: him the Lord said in a vision and Annius, and
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: he said, here I am Lord. So the Lord said
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: to him, arise and go to the street called straight
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: and inquire at the house of Judas for one called
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: Saul of Tarsus. For behold, he is praying, and in
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: a vision he has seen a man name and Annias
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: coming in and putting hands on him so that he
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: might receive his sight. Wow, that is powerful. A man,
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: arise and go to the street called Strait. Now God
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: gives clear instruction, and I believe that he is still
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: doing that today. If we were listen, we can get clear.
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: This is clear in detailed instruction. This was a vision
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: that was given to this man. Hallelujah. Now obedience is
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: easier when God gives details. But faith is still required. Right.
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: Faith is still required even though you have the memo. Right,
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: even though you have the instruction, we still have to
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: walk in faith in different areas. Of obedience, all right
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: verse thirteen, and and I is answered, Lord, I have
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: heard from many about this man, how much harm he
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: has done to your saints in Jerusalem. And here he
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: has authority from the chief priests to bind all who
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: called on your name. Now that just strikes a chord
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: with me, because the word of God says those who
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: call up on the name of the Lord shall be saved.
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: So you can see the strategy of the enemy behind it,
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: behind us. If you call up on the name of
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: the Lord, you're going to be considered a criminal. Right
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: Paul was or Sauw at this time was arresting those
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: who were calling up on the name of the Lord.
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: Some people have lost their lives just because they called
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: up on the name of the Lord, and say relationship.
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: Lost.
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: Another one man, But the Lord says to him, go,
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: for he is a chosen vessel of mine to bear
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: my name before gentiles, kings and the children of Israel.
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: But I will show him how many things he must
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: suffer for my name's sake. Amen, All right, Lord, I
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: have heard from many about this man, and Anayas was
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: honest with God. Fear doesn't disqualify you. Obedience does I
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: mean this obedience does right. And so Katie, be fearful.
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: Just don't disobey, you know, to be honest about the situation.
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: God will give us the grace and the strength to
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: fulfill that what He has called us to. It says,
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: go for he is a chosen vessel of mind. God.
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: God saw Paul's, not paul us all. God saw his future,
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: not just his past. God is looking at what you
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: are going to become, not what you've done. Don't allow
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: your past to define you, your past mistakes. God is
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: not tripping on that. God has a plan for each
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: and every one of us. God's calling is greater than
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: our reputations. Right, maybe you have a reputation or something
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: like that. God's calling is way greater than that. Hallelujah. Amen,
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: it looks like you lost another one. Then he says,
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: I will show him how many things he must suffer
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: in my aimsake. Now, calling can include suffering. Amen. Just
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: because there's some suffering there doesn't mean there's not a
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: calling of God there. The Gospel doesn't promise comfort. The
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: gospel promises purpose. Right, God has a purpose for your life.
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: All right, let's pick it up in verse seventeen, and
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: Anayas went his way and entered the house, and laying
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: his hands on him, he said, brother, Saul, or Jesus,
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: who appeared to you on the road as you came,
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: had sent me, and you may receive your sight and
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: be filled with the Holy ghost. Immediately there fell from
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: his eyes something like scales. And he received his sight
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: at once, and he arose and was baptized. So when
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: he had received food, he was strengthened. The Saul spent
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: some days with the disciples here at Damascus. Now even
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: Saul had to be disciples. Amen, this was a great conversion. Now,
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: and Anayas embraced Saul immediately he called him brother, Brother Saul,
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: grace welcomes former enemies into the family. This man who knows,
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: and Anayas might have known some people that Saul either
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: arrested or possibly murdered. But his heart cried out brother
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: and prayed for him. Immediately fell from his eyes something
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: like scales. Now Saul was healed and baptized. True repentance
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: leads to immediate obedience. Amen, True repentance requires immediate obedience.
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: This is beautiful. We get to see this step. So
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: we saw in the life of Philip true evangelism, and
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: we get to see from the life of Paul it's
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: true conversion. And I'm gonna break down both sides of
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: that so that we could truly see the work of
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: the Holy Spirit in our day. Amen, be right back
• 29:25

• 32:09
  Speaker 3: You are listening to the likes of Las Vegas. This
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: is the hiss Hop radio show.
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: All right, all right, we're back from that break. And
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: that was our brother eighteen of Isaiah. Check him out,
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: check out his YouTube channel and support those on the
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: front lines. Amen. Amen, Yes, So the conversion of Paul
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: this is a great, great passage of scripture. We're gonna
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: break it down and look closely into this where God intervenes,
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: we need the Holy Spirit right to draw people onto him.
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: And then we just need to be obedient. Even if
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: we don't have all the details. We still need to
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: step out in faith right, and sometimes we have to
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: confront people if we truly love them, about their sin. Hollelujah,
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: all right, now it's time for the accountability partner. As
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: I said in the beginning, some things don't break until
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: you get agreement in prayer. Sometimes you need someone to
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: pour into you. You need a mentor, and they need
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: to go out and find out a mentee. Right, You
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: need a saw or the apostle Paul right to pourantee you.
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: Then you need a Timothy, someone that you can once
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: you get filled up, you need to be able to
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: pour into someone else. That's how discipleship happens. That's how
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: it works, that's how the church grows. Amen. So the
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: question for today, the challenge for today is who has
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: permission to correct you when you are wrong? But you're
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: still chosen by God. Just because they're chosen by God
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: doesn't mean we're perfect, doesn't mean we're not gonna make mistakes, right,
• 34:27
