  Speaker 3: Where we hold you accountable. Where we go verse by verse,
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: chapter by chapter, no shortcuts, no water down. Word here.
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying. Today, We're going to be
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: in the Book of Acts, chapter eighteen, starting in verse seventeen,
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: and we're walking all the way through it. So get
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: your seat belts ready, get your bibles, you know, paths
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: of highlighters together as we go through the Word of God.
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: As we go through the Book of Acts together. But
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: as as said a minute ago, we do have an
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: accountability partner segment. This is where we help each other,
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: we sharpen each other, where we're honest with one another.
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: When it comes to the Word. The worst thing to do,
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: Old God, is to deceive yourself right, to have deception,
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: to presume right the Bible says, do not have presum
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: you is sitting in your life. Where we presume upon
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: the grace of God. Where we take liberty is where
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: we should not be taken. Amen. Sometimes we do that
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: because we don't stay in the Word like we should,
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: or we don't have a support team around us. And
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: that's people that can hold us accountable, people that can
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: correct us, and people that can speak God's word and
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: vice versa. We need to allow people that we can
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: correct right where we can share the word of God.
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: We don't want prideful, puffed up people in our lives. Right.
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: Pride is what made Satan satan. Amen. We need to
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: be able to allow the Word to impact our lives.

  Speaker 3: go over to our website his Hot Nation dot com
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: if you want to check all that out for yourself.
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: Right now, we're diving into the Book of Acts, chapter eighteen,
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: and the Book of Acts we have been following Paul
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: in his missionary journeys. Paul has been on fire for
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: the Lord, chosen by the Lord to bring the revival,
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: to start churches, to raise up leaders, to bring order
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: into the House of God, Hallelujah. And Paul has been
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: chased out of just about every city that he's been
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: to in this particular city in Corinth. He was brought
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: before the pro council Apollio. Apolio I believe is his name,
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: how you pronounce it? And the Jews were irate. They
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: were complaining about laws, about their word and their religion,
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: and he was indifferent to that, and he just said,
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: you know what, get out of my courtroom. If he
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: would have committed a crime, you know, then I would
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: have did something. You know. The Roman soldiers didn't play,
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: you know. They was about that life, you know, but
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: there was words about their law and stuff. So he
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: was like, get this out of my face. And right
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: outside the courtyard they beat the synagogue the ruler, and
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: Paul was protected. I believe that this was Guy's divine
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: protection because he told Paul even before this happen, He
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: gave him the vision. He says that I am with you.
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: Do not be afraid, for no one will harm you.
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: And we can see this in his divine protection. And
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: I've been in places where I've seen God fight my
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: battles that I could not fight, and my enemies fall
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: one by one to the waist side. Hallelujah. He is
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: faithful to his word, all right. So we pick up
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: the story in verse seventeen, and it says, then all
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: the Greeks took Saucines the rule of the synagogue and
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: beat him before the judgment seat, but got Aliol took
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: no notice of these things. Now, like I just said,
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: this represents a ruler who refuses to get involved in
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: spiritual matters. And we see this in America today, right.
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: They think it's a noble thing for them to stay separate.
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: Now he's shown indifference to the situation instead of discernment,
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: and then Saucines is beaten publicly and the leader ignores
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: the whole situation. This is what happens when truth is dismissed,
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: judgment and justice is ignored, Righteousness is not defended at all,
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: and people suffer while authority stay silent. He could have
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: stopped him from beating the ruler. Why would they turn
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: on the ruler and beat them. That's just the madness
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: of a crowd. They held him responsible. And so leadership
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: can be tough. Belove, be careful what you ask for.
• 8:58
  Speaker 3: When you want those positions, a leader should make sure
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: it is God placing you in those positions. Amen, don't
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: expect the world to validate truth. All right, let's go
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: to verse eighteen. So Paul still remained a good while.
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: Then he took leave of the brethren and sailed to Syria,
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: and Priscilla and Aquilla were with him. He had his
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: hair cut off at Centeria Centuria for he had taken
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: a vow. Now I think it's pretty interesting that Paul
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: had different traveling companions. He had Barnabas and Mark at
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: the beginning, and then he had Silas and Tim and
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: now he's picking up Priscilla in Aquila. A couple, a
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: married couple here, So this is a great example of
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: being married and being in the ministry Man, hallelujah. Now
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: Paul stayed in Corinth longer than usual, which I think
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: this is a breakthrough because he was chased out of
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: every other city up to this point, running for his life,
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: but he had the opportunity to kick it and stay
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: around around a little longer here and now this is
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: showing his commitment to the work of God as well.
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: Paul didn't run when things got messy when he could have.
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: He received divine protection in this area, so the Jews
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: from different cities didn't show up and follow like they
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: did in previous chapters. And he stayed faithful, then moved
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: when God said, and God put it on his heart
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: to move, That's when he moved. Now, the point I'm
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: trying to make is timing matters. We don't want to
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: leave too early, and we don't want to leave too late.
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: If it was me, I probably would have been all
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: they tripping like the other cities. So I'm out, you know,
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: I probably would have got stuck in a rut and
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: just okay. And my ministry is to preach and lead,
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: preach and leave, preach and leave. But no, Paul had
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: the opportunity to stick around Carinth hey man verse nineteen,
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: and he came to Ephesus and left them there. But
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: he himself entered the synagogue and reasoned with the Jews.
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: Now this is interesting to me because we saw in
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: chapter seventeen where he told the Jews that he was
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: going to go to the Gentiles. He left the synagogue
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: and went right next door to minister to the Gentiles,
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: and the synagogue ruler believed him in his household. But
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: here he goes again. He doesn't give up on the Jews.
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: He could have said, now, if it was us, or
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: it feels me out have been like you know what,
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: I don't mess with the Jews no more. I'm not
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: going to any other synagogue because I made the decision
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: to go to the Gentiles. But this shows Paul's heart
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: and his dedication for his people, and man, this is awesome.
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: He still goes to the synagogues and he still tries
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: to reason with the Jews. Paul stayed on mission every city.
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: It was the same purpose, preach Christ. And we need
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: to take notes that ourselves, every city, same purpose, preach Christ. Hallelujah,
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: verse twenty. Then they asked him to stay a longer
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: time with them. He but he did not consent. So
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: this is amazing to me. This is opposite from what
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: he's been getting. I mean, I don't read in this
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: chapter that the Jews were offended or rose up or
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: tried to kill him. He had the opportunity to reason
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: with them, and they asked him to stay like they
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: wanted to learn more. They didn't want him to leave.
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: They saw something in his life, all the power of
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: God working in him, and they wanted him to stay.
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: But Paul the apostle knew that God wanted him to
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: move on. Now, how many of us would have stayed
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: like you know what I can build something here. I
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: could start a church, I could start a movement. But
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: that was not what Paul was on right there, verse
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: twenty one, but took leave of them, saying, I must
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: by all means keep this coming fast in Jerusalem, but
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: I will return again to you God willing, and he
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: sailed from Ephesus. Hallelujah. Paul was led by God's will,
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: not by the request of people. Amen. He felt upon
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: his heart that he needed to go fast and he
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: needed to go back to Jerusalem. Now, remember he would
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: go to Jerusalem often. Jerusalem is where the Mother Church was,
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: where they had the council whether or not the Gentiles
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: are supposed to keep the law of Moses and the
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: apostle James gave the verdict. So Jerusalem was a very
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: important city for the church. Amen, even when people want
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: you to stay, if God says move, you need to move.
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: Don't let opportunity override your obedience. Hallelujah. Now that is
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: a man tuned in to the will of God. This
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: is a man who was tuned into prayer, tune into
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: where God wanted of him. Even though people may break
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: our hearts, people may beg us, people may want us
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: to do certain things or even stay in certain places.
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: If God is moving us, we have to be obedient
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: to the call of God. Now, how does this play
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: out in church? How do we know when God is
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: moving us from one church to another. We know that
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: a lot of people are looked are frowned upon when
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: they go from church to church. We call them church hoppers.
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: And if there's a place where God has planted you,
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: where as we say in the Accountability Partner segment, where
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: your pastor or leader is pouring into your life for
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: a season, but it shouldn't be a forever thing. We
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: should mature and you should be launched into the call
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: that God has placed on our lives. Now, that doesn't
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: necessarily mean you need to leave the church. You could
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: be an insistent pastor where you are, or you could
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: start a church from scratch. It's not an easy task, Amen,
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: But it could be a situation where God is calling
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: you to move and everybody in the church are telling
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: you not to go. What do you do? Do you
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: have enough discernment like Paul the Apostle to say I
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: must go, but Lord willing I will return. Amen, That's
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: a question only the Holy Spirit can answer right where
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: we had verse twenty two. And when they had landed
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: at cesarea and gone up and greeted the church, he
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: went down to Antioch. Now this is awesome. Paul stayed
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: connected to the body. Paul was not a lone ranger.
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: For all the old schools out there, they remember that
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: show Lone Ranger, that was even before my time. But
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: look it up, all you millennials, all you youngsters, look
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: up Loan Ranger, l O n E Ranger. It's like
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: a black and white film of this cowboy that went
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: out and salved all kinds of crimes by himself. And
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: in the West we idolized individual individualism, right, But that
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: was never a part of the church. The church. We
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: are called to a symbol together, and man, do not
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: forsake be as simile. There's power in unity, and there's
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: power in numbers. Amen. Even if you look at nature
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: and nature tells you to stay with the pack, if
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: you stray from the pack, you are in danger of
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: getting eaten up by prey. Matter of fact, they look
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: for the stragglers and think about it. Satan rooms about
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour. It's
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: the same thing in the spiritual realm. Are you straggling
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: from the pack? Do you have a church home or
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: church body? Do you have a pastor do you have
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: a covering? Or are you just a loan wolf? And so,
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: even though God may be calling you to your own ministry,
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: and maybe people are telling you not to go, Paul
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: still went to the others in the other church. He
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: still had a covering. And God will cover us if
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: he called us to that. Amen, that is definitely a
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: work of the spirit. Verse twenty three. After he had
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: spent some time there, he departed and went over the
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: region of Galicia, and by Riggia. Like I said every episode,
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: I butchered these names in order to strengthen all the disciples. Amen.
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: The question is are you a disciple? Are we do
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: we consider ourselves disciples? The Bible says to go and
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: make disciples of every nation. A disciple is a person
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: who is disciplined. Disciple is a person who is a learner.
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: Who are you learning from Have you disciplined your life?
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: Have you submitted your life to the teachings of Christ? Amen?
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: Or are you still self centered and selfish and think
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: that you can do this your own way? For the
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: way of a man seems right before his own eyes,
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: but the end thereof are the ways of death. They
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: need to be made disciples. Amen. Discipleship isn't just preaching,
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: it's strengthening believers. Who do you have in your life
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: who can strengthen you? Amen, Verse twenty four. Now it's
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: certain jew name Apollos born at Alexandria, an elegant man
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: and mighty in the scriptures, came to ephesis. Wow, a
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: policy was powerful to deliver the word of God. He
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: had great knowledge of the Word, but his doctrine was incomplete.
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: He didn't have the full understanding. Now he was gifted,
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: he was passionate, he was skilled, but he was still growing. Amen.
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: That's why it's important for us. That's why I do
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: these Bible studies, verse by verse, chapter by chapter, because
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: the Bible says, my people perish through a lack of knowledge,
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: and it's very important for us to get the whole
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: counsel of the Word. Amen. Verse twenty five. This man
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: had been instructed in the way of the Lord, and
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: being fervent in spirit, he spoke and taught accurately the
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: things of the Lord, though he knew only the Baptism
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: of John. Now, I love this guy. This guy actually
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: reminds me of myself and the point that I want
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: to speak accurately in the Word right. It's important for
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: us to be accurate. But even though as much as
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: I try to stay on tasks right, I don't like
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: to veer from the If you come to any of
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: my service or if you sit in any of my teachings,
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: I teach the Word, I do very little opinion. And
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: when I do share my opinion, I let you know
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: this is my opinion. You can take it or leave it,
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: or this is my view, but I leave it on
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: you to do further study, to dig deeper, because that's
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: what God has called us to. It's the glory of
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: God to conceal the matter, and it's a glory to
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: kings to reveal it and to search it out. And man,
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: God hid jewels. If we just take the effort to
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: dig for them a man and see what God has
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: has for us. And you know, I want to go
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: deeper in my studies as well. I don't want to
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: just tell y'all to go deeper. You know. That's why
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: I'm in Bible College and different things like that. Digging
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: deeper into the Word. But my point is this, even
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: though I might share some life stories, I stick strictly
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: to the word. But even at that I could still
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: be lacking in certain areas. So we got to remain teachable. Right,
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: he had part of the truth. He only had the
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: baptism of John, repentance, but not the full revelation of Jesus.
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: He understood repentice because John preached repentice, but he didn't
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: understand Jesus completely. Partial truth limits full power. Let me
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: say that again, partial truth limits full power. Remember the
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: Bible says, my people perish you lack of knowledge. Partial
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: truth limit your power, our power. And I remember growing
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: up watching Gi Joe that he always used to say
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: that knowing was half the battle. Well, I believe the
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: word a God says, knowing is the whole battle. Right,
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: we must know and come into an understanding Hallelujah, and
• 25:50
  Speaker 3: then apply what we know. In verse twenty six, So
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: he began to speak boldly in the synagogue, and Aquila
• 25:59
  Speaker 3: in pursuit heard him. They took him aside and explained
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: to him the ways of God more accurately. Now they
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: corrected him privately, now publicly, this model's humility and wisdom. Now,
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: even myself when I had the building, when I had
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: the club Club His Hot Las Vegas, I invited different
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: artists to come out and minister, and there was a
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: local artist who had a gift, the prophetic gift, who
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: decided to correct me in a public setting. He's still
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: doing stage in front of the whole crowd and corrected me.
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: I would have received it a lot better if he
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: would have just took me to the side, if it
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: was my correction and a word for me. You don't
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: want to embarrass a leader. Even David would not touch
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: the Lord's anointed when Saul was trying to kill him. Right,
• 27:05
  Speaker 3: you still honor the office that that person is walking in,
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: even if they're tripping. You allow God to deal with them. Now,
• 27:16
  Speaker 3: I'm not saying that you don't correct them, but at
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: least you start privately, and then there's a Matthew eighteen.
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: Then after a process, you expose them publicly. God will
• 27:29
  Speaker 3: expose us publicly, but he doesn't start there. Right now,
• 27:36
  Speaker 3: this right here is kingdom mentorship. It was private correction.
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: Then they gave loving instruction. And if there was no
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: public embarrassment, if you can't be corrected, then you cannot grow.
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: God will help us grow by people who love us
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: and are able to correct us. Ay man then verse
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: twenty seven. And when he had desired to cross to
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: a Kai, the Brethren wrote exhorting the disciples to receive him.
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: And when he arrived, he greatly helped those who had
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: believed through grace. Hallelujah. Verse twenty eight. For he vigorously
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: refuted the Jews publicly, showing from the scripture that Jesus
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: is the Christ. Now I want you all to check
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: this out. Or it was like a there was a
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: switch that was tripped in his man's life, for he
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: vigorously refuted the Jews publicly. After he was corrected, he
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: became became more powerful. Hallelujah. Don't you think this is
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: what God is doing in our lives When he's correcting us,
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: He's trying to bring us to that next level. When
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: Aequila and Priscilla corrected this man, he vigorously refuted the
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: Jews publicly. Correction doesn't cancel the calling in our lives,
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: it activates it. This man was able to stand told
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: to toe. They probably looked at him and say, man,
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: he reminds me of the apostle Paul hey Man, hallelujah.
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: That I don't know about you, beloved, but that encourages
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: my heart right there. That this man was like they
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: just left the let a dog off his lead. She
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: was able to just imagine all of the people that
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: he was able to teach and instruct. If you didn't
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: have this revelation here, full revelation of Christ, he would
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: not have been able to defend the faith and could
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: have lost all those who are following him. But God
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: is faithful, God is awesome, God is great. Amen. All right,
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: it's good to our breaking.
• 30:30
  Speaker 5: You are listening to the light of Las Vegas. This
• 30:33

• 33:31
  Speaker 5: You are listening to the light of last focus. This
• 33:35
  Speaker 5: is the Hiss Hop Radio Show.
• 34:06
  Speaker 3: All right, all right, y'all, we're back from the break
• 34:09
  Speaker 3: that was clean Hearts, that was Spillhouse right there live
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: on his hop radio podcasts Psalms fifty one. Come on.
• 34:21
  Speaker 3: That is you know where David repented from falling to
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: the sin with Bathsheba ay Man. David had a repentive
• 34:32
  Speaker 3: heart before the Lord, hallelujah. And that's the place where
• 34:37
  Speaker 3: we need to be we need to stay in the
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: place of repentance and humility before our King. Amen, hallelujah.
• 34:48
  Speaker 3: We're talking about Paul. We're talking about Paul moving when
• 34:52
  Speaker 3: even people wanted him to stay. He had to keep moving,
• 34:56
  Speaker 3: he had to keep pushing in committed to the Word
• 35:02
  Speaker 3: of God, strengthening disciples. Right our life. We should be
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: able to strengthen one another. We should be able to
• 35:10
  Speaker 3: sharpen people's faith because we need it. We can grow weary.
• 35:17
  Speaker 3: This thing ain't easy, right. We need to have compassion
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: from one another. We need to share the word and
• 35:24
  Speaker 3: not act like we're perfect, like we don't sin now,
• 35:27
  Speaker 3: not that. But you know what I'm saying, hallelujah. All right,
• 35:35
  Speaker 3: now it's time for the accountability partner segment. As I said,
• 35:42
  Speaker 3: this segment was put in my heart as I was
• 35:45
  Speaker 3: working the altar in church. And sometimes you see our
• 35:49
  Speaker 3: brothers and sisters dealing with the same sin, the same
• 35:53
  Speaker 3: struggle over and over again. Not to judge them and
• 35:57
  Speaker 3: not to say oh I am Hohler and down not
• 36:00
  Speaker 3: at all, but to really say, what's going on? How
• 36:03
  Speaker 3: come God's people are not growing? How come we're not
• 36:08
  Speaker 3: getting the victory over sin over areas. And I tell
• 36:11
  Speaker 3: you right now, my sin. Right now, my struggle is food.
• 36:15
  Speaker 3: I have an issue with gluttony over eating. I have
• 36:19
  Speaker 3: an issue with eating bad food, fast food. I drive
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: a lot, I work a lot in my car, and
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: it's always as easy just to hit a drive through
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: here and there. Even I've tried to change my diet.
• 36:36
  Speaker 3: I've tried to you know, I do work out. You know,
• 36:42
  Speaker 3: I've tried different ways. But I know the Lord has
• 36:44
  Speaker 3: been dealing with me with you know, my food. I
• 36:47
  Speaker 3: like to eat and so and I do deal with
• 36:51
  Speaker 3: procrastination a lot as well. So if you want to,
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: you know, lift me up in prayer. These are the
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: things that I've been struggling with lately. I mean, there
• 36:59
  Speaker 3: were things that God has taken off my life, which
• 37:02
  Speaker 3: I praise God, but you know, there's always a progression.
• 37:06
  Speaker 3: There's always other things that need to fall off. And
• 37:09
  Speaker 3: I've been struggling and I have struggle with anger at times.
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: You know, in my having marital issues, I respond the
• 37:18
  Speaker 3: wrong way towards my wife. And sometimes I struggle financially.
• 37:23
  Speaker 3: You know, coming with a bad eating habit is a
• 37:27
  Speaker 3: bad financial habit because you got to pay for those
• 37:30
  Speaker 3: fast food trips, you know, on a daily basis. We
• 37:32
  Speaker 3: shouldn't be eating fast food every day, right. So not
• 37:38
  Speaker 3: to make it sound like I'm better than anyone else
• 37:41
  Speaker 3: and I'm self righteous, No, I struggle. I bring things
• 37:44
  Speaker 3: before the altar too that I need help with. So
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: I said that hopefully so that y'all can pray for me,
• 37:51
  Speaker 3: for the Word of God says, confett your faults to
• 37:55
  Speaker 3: one another and pray for one another that we may
• 37:57
  Speaker 3: be healed. So I pray that you're praying right now.
• 38:00
  Speaker 3: I'm doing this accountability partner segment as I am transparent.
• 38:05
  Speaker 3: That's the only way it works, is if we're transparent
• 38:08
  Speaker 3: and honest for one another. Because God desires truth in
• 38:14
  Speaker 3: the inward parts. Amen. Because God knows the truth we
• 38:19
  Speaker 3: confront all we want I confront. Oh yeah, just because
• 38:22
  Speaker 3: I'm on this podcast, I'm perfect. Nah, God knows. He
• 38:27
  Speaker 3: knows when I get off here, he knows who I
• 38:29
  Speaker 3: really am. And man, you can ask my wife what
• 38:32
  Speaker 3: I struggle with. Amen. So now that's not kingdom at all.
• 38:38
  Speaker 3: But we are to hold each other accountable, pray for
• 38:40
  Speaker 3: one another, and allow correction to happen. Amen. And that
• 38:46
  Speaker 3: is how we can get over. Some things we cannot
• 38:49
  Speaker 3: get over unless there's agreement in prayer, unless there's something broken.
• 38:53
  Speaker 3: Because we battle against principalities, we battle against evil spirits.
• 39:00
  Speaker 3: Sometimes these are demons that are holding us and bondage,
• 39:04
  Speaker 3: holding us in these bad attitudes, holding us with these
• 39:07
  Speaker 3: bad thinking patterns. If we're always thinking that people don't
• 39:10
  Speaker 3: like us and thinking insecure thoughts, that's a spirit, that's
• 39:15
  Speaker 3: a demon lying to us. Right, And we need deliverance.
• 39:21
  Speaker 3: We need our brothers and sisters, we need angels to
• 39:26
  Speaker 3: gain up against these devils that we've opened doors. We
• 39:30
  Speaker 3: can open up doors, and this is a whole topic
• 39:33
  Speaker 3: for another podcast. Right, we can open up doors to
• 39:36
  Speaker 3: the enemy to have a legal right in our life
• 39:39
  Speaker 3: to afflict us, and we need to close those doors
• 39:42
  Speaker 3: by the blood of Jesus, ask for forgiveness and then
• 39:47
  Speaker 3: seek deliverance. And yes, we do have the authority a
• 39:53
  Speaker 3: man to rebuke the enemy, but our authority pieces when
• 40:00
  Speaker 3: it's in agreement and we're before a body, right, Amen.
• 40:06
  Speaker 3: God sends a blessing when there's unity. Amen. So that's
• 40:12
  Speaker 3: what we hear. If you want to go further, if
• 40:14

• 46:45
  Speaker 3: closing comments on the show tonight. The world may ignore truth,
• 46:53
  Speaker 3: but God still calls you to stay faithful, requires correction.
• 47:03
  Speaker 3: Don't be in different like Gameleio was. He was indifferent.
• 47:15
  Speaker 3: Right when they brought Paul to the to be judged,
• 47:19
  Speaker 3: he was indifferent. He can care less and don't be
• 47:23
  Speaker 3: stuck in partial truth, but be teachable like Apollos. He
• 47:32
  Speaker 3: didn't have the full truth. All he had was John
• 47:36
  Speaker 3: the Baptist, but he was instructed and he got the
• 47:40
  Speaker 3: full word. A man, So let's pray this one out.
• 47:46
  Speaker 3: Lord Jesus, I surrendered fully, teach me, correct me, and
• 47:55
  Speaker 3: fill me with your spirit. I want truth, not comfort,
• 48:06
  Speaker 3: and I pray this in Jesus' name, Amen, and that's
• 48:08
  Speaker 3: your heart. You say this prayer to pray to the
• 48:11
  Speaker 3: Lord that you want to be stretched, that you want

  Speaker 3: to grow, you want to go to the next level.
