1:41
Speaker 4: Hot family in the live chat. This is a place
1:44
Speaker 4: where we hold each other accountable, where we pray for
1:47
Speaker 4: each other. We encourage each other to stay on this
1:51
Speaker 4: path because we know it's tough enough. It's hard enough
1:55
Speaker 4: trying to do this on our own, and we know
1:58
Speaker 4: that this world shows no mercy. So this is a
2:03
Speaker 4: place of refuge. This is a place where we can
2:05
Speaker 4: come together as brothers and sisters and the Lord. And
2:10
Speaker 4: this is a place where we can get that support
2:13
Speaker 4: that is desperately needed for this walk. Amen. And so
2:19
Speaker 4: as we do that, we also go through the word
2:21
Speaker 4: of God together. We also pray for one another, and
2:26
Speaker 4: we also just walk in love. You know. Just like
2:28
Speaker 4: the scriptures command us to right, God commands us even
2:33
Speaker 4: to love our enemies. As a matter of fact, if
2:36
Speaker 4: we do service for God and there's no love, that
2:41
Speaker 4: service does not count. Amen. So that's what we do.
2:45
Speaker 4: That's what we're here for. That's why we do this podcast.
2:49
Speaker 4: That's why we meet here every day. My prayer is
2:51
Speaker 4: that our desire and our discipline will grow, that our
2:59
Speaker 4: commit meant to meet God every day will not be
3:02
Speaker 4: a chore, will not be some type of thing we
3:06
Speaker 4: have to fight through, but it'll be the joy, the highlight,
3:10
Speaker 4: the pleasure of our hearts. That we will desire to
3:13
Speaker 4: spend time with our heavenly Father. Amen. So as we
3:18
Speaker 4: do so today, on the podcast. We asked you and
3:20
Speaker 4: invite others. We asked you, well, God, to invite people
3:24
Speaker 4: to the Life Chad, that we will grow this online community.
3:29
Speaker 4: We need your help. We cannot do this ourselves. We
3:32
Speaker 4: need y'all to get the word out and to help
3:35
Speaker 4: and support so we can grow this thing. And let's
3:39
Speaker 4: also pray over it. Heavenly Father, we come before you
3:43
Speaker 4: this morning. We ask Father God, Lord for your grace
3:46
Speaker 4: and for your mercies. We ask Father God for your love,
3:50
Speaker 4: Oh God, O Lord, just to rest upon this podcast today.
3:54
Speaker 4: We pray Father God, that all distractions removed. We pray
3:59
Speaker 4: Father God, that the Linco God will be accessible Father,
4:03
Speaker 4: Oh Lord, for those who you want to hear this, Lord,
4:06
Speaker 4: that they will click on it, that they will spend time,
4:09
Speaker 4: Oh God, to dig into it. That they will not
4:11
Speaker 4: just listen, but they will open their Bibles. God, that
4:14
Speaker 4: they will dig. Go God, that they will Father God,
4:17
Speaker 4: receive a mighty touch from your hand. Father. We thank
4:20
Speaker 4: you and we praised you, Father God in Jesus' mighty name.
4:25
Speaker 4: Hey man, Amen, all right, So today's scripture we're gonna
4:33
Speaker 4: be finishing out. Hopefully we can finish it. Jeremiah chapter thirteen,
4:40
Speaker 4: and we're going to pick up where we left off.
4:43
Speaker 4: We left off in verse twelve on our last episode,
4:49
Speaker 4: and we talked about the question that Jeremiah had, you know,
4:54
Speaker 4: why do the wicked prosper? We talked about the horseman.
4:59
Speaker 4: If you can't run with the footmen, how you're going
5:02
Speaker 4: to keep up with the horses. And we saw how
5:06
Speaker 4: God's grace is sufficient, that God is the answer to
5:10
Speaker 4: all of our struggles and everything that we may deal
5:13
Speaker 4: with and everything that may come our way. Well, today
5:18
Speaker 4: we're going to talk about pride. It is not good
5:22
Speaker 4: for us to hold on to our pride and to
5:25
Speaker 4: ignore the voice the correction of our heavenly Father. Right.
5:34
Speaker 4: So in verse twelve, it says, God tells y'remaya to
5:40
Speaker 4: say that every wine skin will be filled with wind,
5:46
Speaker 4: and the people respond as though the statement is obvious,
5:52
Speaker 4: the God reveals its deeper meaning. Right. So in verse
5:58
Speaker 4: twelve it says, therefore, you shall speak to them this
6:05
Speaker 4: word that says the Lord God of Israel, every bottle
6:09
Speaker 4: shall be filled with wine. And they will say to you,
6:15
Speaker 4: should we not certainly know that every bottle will be
6:18
Speaker 4: filled with wine? So that's their response. It's like, okay,
6:23
Speaker 4: captain obvious. You know that's what the wine bottle is for, right,
6:29
Speaker 4: We're supposed to fill it up with wine.
6:34
Speaker 2: One.
6:35
Speaker 4: All right, let's go verse thirteen. Then you shall say
6:38
Speaker 4: to them, thus says the Lord. Behold, I will fill
6:42
Speaker 4: all the inhabitants of this land, even the kings who
6:46
Speaker 4: sit on David's throne, the priest, the prophets, and all
6:51
Speaker 4: the inhabitants of Jerusalem. Now look at the order. We
6:56
Speaker 4: can see that God is a god of order. He
6:59
Speaker 4: addresses the king, he addresses the priest and the prophets,
7:05
Speaker 4: and then it goes all the way down to the inhabitants.
7:08
Speaker 4: So it's very important to understand the type of leadership
7:13
Speaker 4: that we are under a man. It starts with the king,
7:17
Speaker 4: it starts with the leader, the head of the house,
7:20
Speaker 4: and it just shows you that God is a god
7:23
Speaker 4: of order, even in judgment. He goes from the priest,
7:27
Speaker 4: the king, all the way down to the priest, to
7:29
Speaker 4: the prophets, to the inheritance, or should I say, the
7:33
Speaker 4: inhabitants of Jerusalem, and he says, he will fill them
7:37
Speaker 4: with drunkenness, and I will dash them one against another,
7:43
Speaker 4: even the fathers and the sons together. Wow, dashing. You
7:49
Speaker 4: think of dashing, You think of like, have you ever
7:53
Speaker 4: grabbed a bug or something like that, or been out
7:56
Speaker 4: to the beach and you grab some type of a
7:59
Speaker 4: bug ugg seashelled or something you just dashed it against
8:02
Speaker 4: the rocks. That's the image that I get when I
8:06
Speaker 4: read this. And he says the fathers and the sons,
8:10
Speaker 4: he's dashing people. He's dashing the inhabitants of the land
8:15
Speaker 4: because they refuse to listen to him. He says he
8:19
Speaker 4: was dashing together, says the Lord. I will not pity,
8:22
Speaker 4: nor spare, nor have mercy, but will destroy them. These
8:28
Speaker 4: are strong words. These are very strong words. Amen. Now
8:38
Speaker 4: the wine represents spiritual intoxication and confusion. Now they think
8:45
Speaker 4: you know that he's being captain obvious, Like, yeah, you know,
8:48
Speaker 4: of course, you're going to fill the bottle with a beverage.
8:52
Speaker 4: You know what I mean, You're gonna fill it up
8:53
Speaker 4: with the wine. But no, this drink is going to
8:58
Speaker 4: be a different mix. There's gonna be different ingredients. There's
9:03
Speaker 4: gonna be a spiritual ingredients in this bottle. It's God's
9:09
Speaker 4: fury that they're gonna drink because Juda rejected God's truth,
9:15
Speaker 4: he would allow them to experience the consequences of their rebellion.
9:23
Speaker 4: Like I said, it goes from the leaders, the priest,
9:26
Speaker 4: the prophets, and ordinary people alike will face this judgment. Now.
9:34
Speaker 4: When people repeatedly reject God's wisdom, they often become confused
9:39
Speaker 4: by the very choices they insist on making.
9:44
Speaker 1: Right.
9:46
Speaker 4: A hardened heart eventually loses the ability to recognize truth,
9:52
Speaker 4: which is scary. We need not to harden our hearts, amen.
10:00
Speaker 4: We need to be conscious of the decisions that we
10:04
Speaker 4: make on a day today. Basis now verse fifteen through seventeen.
10:12
Speaker 4: Here and give ear. Do not be proud. Now, that's
10:17
Speaker 4: the key verse for today. Pride was their downfall, and
10:23
Speaker 4: we know that pride is the original sin that caused
10:29
Speaker 4: Lucifer to fall from heaven. Hey man, so let's see
10:33
Speaker 4: how dangerous. Let's really pay attention and see how dangerous
10:37
Speaker 4: pride can really be. For the Lord has spoken, give
10:42
Speaker 4: glory to the Lord your God. Before he cast darkness,
10:48
Speaker 4: and before your feet stumble on the dark mountains. And
10:54
Speaker 4: while you are looking for light, he turns it into
10:58
Speaker 4: the shadow of death and makes it dense darkness. Now,
11:04
Speaker 4: this right right here reminds me. I always refer to
11:08
Speaker 4: these needs right near death experiences that I've been looking
11:13
Speaker 4: up on YouTube, and I don't know, I think it's healthy,
11:18
Speaker 4: to a healthy reminder to keep the fear of the
11:21
Speaker 4: Lord in front of us, to know that there is
11:24
Speaker 4: a place called Hell, and there are billions of people
11:28
Speaker 4: that are there now who are suffering and being tortured
11:32
Speaker 4: by demons there in the flames burning. And one thing
11:36
Speaker 4: that is common that they all share was that there
11:39
Speaker 4: is a darkness in Hell. It's a darkness that can
11:43
Speaker 4: be felt. It's a darkness. They even mentioned that it
11:47
Speaker 4: feels like it's alive. It just comes over you. It's
11:51
Speaker 4: like you can't even see your hand in front of
11:54
Speaker 4: your face. It's just so dark. And God is saying
11:59
Speaker 4: right here that if you reject the light, you will
12:03
Speaker 4: stumble in the darkness. He will remove his light from us.
12:08
Speaker 4: And that's what I'm getting when I read this section here,
12:12
Speaker 4: and it says, and before your feet stumble on the
12:17
Speaker 4: dark mountains, and while you are looking for light, he
12:21
Speaker 4: turns it into the shadow of death and makes it
12:25
Speaker 4: dense darkness. But if you will not hear it, my
12:29
Speaker 4: soul will weep in secret for your pride. My eyes
12:33
Speaker 4: will weep bitterly and run down with tears, because the
12:39
Speaker 4: Lord's flock has been taken captive. And the reason for
12:46
Speaker 4: this is pride. God pleads with his people here and
12:51
Speaker 4: pay attention. Do not be arrogant, for the Lord has spoken.
12:58
Speaker 4: This is one of the most compassionate movements in Jeremiah.
13:03
Speaker 4: As he's delivering this message to the nation. God isn't
13:07
Speaker 4: eager to punish his people. He's urging them to repent
13:11
Speaker 4: before it is too late, before they cross that line.
13:16
Speaker 4: Jeremiah even says that he will weep in secret because
13:20
Speaker 4: of their pride. Wow. That reminds us that faithful servants
13:27
Speaker 4: of God do not celebrate when judgment falls right. They
13:33
Speaker 4: grieve over people who refuse God's mercy. Now, humility opens
13:43
Speaker 4: the doors to restoration, but pride closes even our ears
13:52
Speaker 4: to the voice of God. Let me say that again.
13:56
Speaker 4: Humility will open up doors for restoration, but pride we
14:04
Speaker 4: close those doors to the point where we don't even
14:08
Speaker 4: we can't even hear from God. Verse eighteen and nineteen,
14:18
Speaker 4: say to the King and to the Queen Mother, humble yourselves,
14:22
Speaker 4: sit down for your rules shall collapse. The crown of
14:27
Speaker 4: your glory. The cities of the South shall be shut up,
14:32
Speaker 4: and no one shall open them. Judas shall be carried away, captive,
14:38
Speaker 4: all of it. It shall be wholly carried away. Wow,
14:45
Speaker 4: he said all of it now. Jeremiah warns the king
14:50
Speaker 4: and the queen mother to humble themselves because their crowns
14:55
Speaker 4: are about to fall. Earthly positioned title or influence can
15:04
Speaker 4: protect anyone from God's judgment. But also remember, leadership carries responsibility.
15:14
Speaker 4: God hold leaders accountable for how they influence others. Even though,
15:21
Speaker 4: like I said, their structure, it starts with the king,
15:25
Speaker 4: then it goes to the prophets, the priest, then to
15:29
Speaker 4: the inhabitants. Even though everybody will suffer the consequences, the
15:36
Speaker 4: leaders are held to a higher standard of accountability because
15:42
Speaker 4: they have a higher influence over the people. All right,
15:53
Speaker 4: Verse twenty, lift up your eyes and see those who
15:57
Speaker 4: come from the north. As I've said before, for that
16:00
Speaker 4: they would be invading from the northern part of the country,
16:06
Speaker 4: and the first tribe that they would encounter is the
16:09
Speaker 4: tribe of Dan. If you study and do your research,
16:12
Speaker 4: Dan was the first tribe to fall in idolatry and
16:16
Speaker 4: piggot worship, and Dan in a book of Revelation when
16:21
Speaker 4: it comes to one hundred and forty four thousand, Dan
16:25
Speaker 4: was the one tribe that was omitted from that list.
16:30
Speaker 4: And so I think it's because of this, because of
16:34
Speaker 4: their position of leading Israel astree. But I leave that
16:38
Speaker 4: to your own studies. But it says, lift up your
16:42
Speaker 4: eyes and see those who come from the north. Where
16:47
Speaker 4: is the flock that was given to you, your beautiful sheep.
16:52
Speaker 4: What will you say when he punishes you, for you
16:56
Speaker 4: have taught them to be chieftain, to be head over you?
17:03
Speaker 4: You will not pain sees you like a woman in labor.
17:08
Speaker 4: And if you say in your heart, why have these
17:11
Speaker 4: things come abund me for the greatness of your iniquity?
17:16
Speaker 4: Your skirts have been uncovered, your heels made bare? Can
17:23
Speaker 4: the Ethiopian change his skin?
17:26
Speaker 1: Now?
17:26
Speaker 4: I find this kind of interesting because the Ethiopian is
17:32
Speaker 4: from I want to say Africa, but I could be wrong.
17:37
Speaker 4: I think Ethiopia is its own nation. But we know
17:40
Speaker 4: they have the dark skin. Basically, the black race is
17:46
Speaker 4: in the Bible is referred to the Ethiopians, and they're
17:50
Speaker 4: named here. And he says can he change his skin? Right,
17:55
Speaker 4: So that's basically something impossible to do unless I don't know,
17:58
Speaker 4: you're Michael Jackson, You're able to kind of like bleach
18:02
Speaker 4: your skin a little bit. That's the only one that
18:05
Speaker 4: I can refer to under that example. But also it
18:10
Speaker 4: says the leopard changes spots, you know, the leopard. You know?
18:16
Speaker 4: Then may you also do good who are accustomed to
18:21
Speaker 4: do evil? All right, so let's break this down right now,
18:31
Speaker 4: here's our consequences of our sin, and our rebellion is
18:36
Speaker 4: against God. When God asks Judah where the people are
18:41
Speaker 4: who once surrounded the protect and protected them? Right, a
18:46
Speaker 4: nation trusted political allegiance instead of trusting God is basically
18:53
Speaker 4: what he's saying. Now those false securities have disappeared, you know, Judah.
18:59
Speaker 4: What always they would try to go to the surrounding
19:03
Speaker 4: nations like Egypt, and they try to get allegiance in
19:09
Speaker 4: find alliance with these different nations that they've had trouble
19:12
Speaker 4: with in the past. We know that Egypt. They used
19:16
Speaker 4: to be slaves to Egypt at one point, but they're
19:21
Speaker 4: going to them for help. This is like a political
19:23
Speaker 4: move and they're trying to gain allies to help them
19:27
Speaker 4: but they were nowhere around, and when they ask why
19:34
Speaker 4: these things are happening, God gives them the answer. Right,
19:38
Speaker 4: because of your repeated sin, because of your iniquity that
19:43
Speaker 4: you refuse to repent of. Now, sometimes we spend more
19:47
Speaker 4: time questioning God than examining our own selves. Right. The
19:52
Speaker 4: Bible says that a man can go astray and suffer
19:57
Speaker 4: the consequences, and then our hearts fret against God as
20:02
Speaker 4: if it's God's fault, Like we're upset over the consequences,
20:07
Speaker 4: not heartbroken over our sin that we've been sinning against God.
20:14
Speaker 4: And it says can the Ethiopian change his skin or
20:19
Speaker 4: the leopard its spots? Now, the point is not really
20:23
Speaker 4: about ethnicity, it's about human inability. Right, how helpless we
20:30
Speaker 4: truly are. People cannot transform their sinful nature by willpower alone. Right,
20:38
Speaker 4: We need help. If we really want to change, we
20:42
Speaker 4: really need to cry out for God. Change requires God. Now,
20:47
Speaker 4: there's a lot of self help books out there, there's
20:50
Speaker 4: a lot of gurus out there, there's a lot of
20:53
Speaker 4: people that can show you how to establish discipline. But
20:59
Speaker 4: if you really want to change, you really need to
21:02
Speaker 4: cry out to God. Because you can do good for
21:05
Speaker 4: ten years, five years, twenty years. But if you don't
21:08
Speaker 4: have the grace of god s'steening you, chances are you
21:12
Speaker 4: will fall back to that old lifestyle that you refuse
21:16
Speaker 4: to give up and surrender over to the King Amen,
21:26
Speaker 4: Verse twenty four. Therefore I will scatter them like stuble
21:31
Speaker 4: that passes away by the wind of the wilderness. This
21:37
Speaker 4: is your lot, the portion of your measures for me,
21:44
Speaker 4: says the Lord, because you have forgotten me and trusted
21:48
Speaker 4: in falsehood. Now there is a lot said right there.
21:54
Speaker 4: The enemy doesn't really fill our hearts with hatred towards God.
22:00
Speaker 4: He is more cunning than that. The enemy knows that
22:04
Speaker 4: his best bet is to get us to forget about God.
22:08
Speaker 4: If we get so distracted, we get so busy throughout
22:11
Speaker 4: the day, and if we can't make it to our
22:14
Speaker 4: prayer time with God, then we push it back to
22:17
Speaker 4: the next day, the next day. The next thing you know,
22:20
Speaker 4: a week goes by, we haven't opened up our bibles,
22:24
Speaker 4: two weeks a month, six months a year, and then
22:30
Speaker 4: we can even get to the point where we even forget,
22:33
Speaker 4: like God doesn't even come into our minds. Right, that's progressive,
22:37
Speaker 4: that's how he works. And there's a promise in the
22:40
Speaker 4: Bible that says the nations that forget about God will
22:44
Speaker 4: be turned into hell. That is that we need to
22:49
Speaker 4: pray against that against forgetting about our relationship with our
22:55
Speaker 4: heavenly Father. And it says, because you've forgotten about Me
23:00
Speaker 4: and trust it in falsehood. Therefore I will uncover your
23:04
Speaker 4: skirts over your face that you that your shame may appear.
23:12
Speaker 4: I have seen your idolatries in your lustful nate names,
23:19
Speaker 4: the lewdness of your hearly tree, your abominations on the
23:24
Speaker 4: heels in the fields. Woe to you, old Jerusalem? Will
23:29
Speaker 4: you still not be made clean? This is good. God
23:37
Speaker 4: is a straight shooter, and he goes straight to the issue.
23:41
Speaker 4: Right now, he's describing them being scattered like chaff before
23:48
Speaker 4: the wind. Your their unfaithfulness has become public to every
23:55
Speaker 4: you want to see. Yet God's final words are heartbreaking
23:59
Speaker 4: to the The question is how long will you be unclean?
24:05
Speaker 5: A man?
24:08
Speaker 4: How long will you be unclean? That's another T shirt.
24:13
Speaker 4: That's a question right. We need to ask ourselves, ask
24:18
Speaker 4: our family, ask everyone around us, how long will you
24:23
Speaker 4: be unclean? Now? It's a cry of love, a loving
24:29
Speaker 4: father asking how long his children will continue to reject him,
24:36
Speaker 4: like haven't you got it by now? Don't you understand
24:42
Speaker 4: that you need me right now? Today's passage challenges every
24:55
Speaker 4: believer to ask yourself, is pride keeping me from here
25:00
Speaker 4: God's voice? Am I quick to accept correction? Have I
25:08

29:08
Speaker 5: You are listening to the light of las Vegas. This
29:12
Speaker 5: is the His Hop radio show.
29:31
Speaker 4: All right, all right, we are back from the break.
29:34
Speaker 4: This is your boy, mister His Hop and that was
29:37
Speaker 4: carrying the lights for our musical break today. We gotta
29:42
Speaker 4: be the light. He's talking about what if I die today?
29:45
Speaker 4: That's a good question to ask, right because tomorrow is
29:49
Speaker 4: not promised. I'm want to give a huge shout out
29:53
Speaker 4: to the light Dad, shout out to our brother Zone.
29:55
Speaker 4: What's up? Brother Zone three? Our brother Zone has been
29:59
Speaker 4: dethrown for the past two episodes from being the trivia champ.
30:04
Speaker 4: But let's see what happens today. Let's see if he
30:07
Speaker 4: you know, he can be like Rocky Bell bulla right
30:10
Speaker 4: and come with a comeback. I also want to give
30:13
Speaker 4: a shout out to the reigning trivia champ, Missus Hoppo
30:17
Speaker 4: has been popping up. It's been nice, it's been encouraging.
30:21
Speaker 4: I want to thank you guys for showing up. Yes,
30:24
Speaker 4: she did get the Trivia Champ spot yesterday. She posted it.
30:31
Speaker 4: She had a great response to the trivia question, so
30:37
Speaker 4: she was ready for that. So, Brother Zone, you gots
30:40
Speaker 4: some competition here, my brother and so as we talk
30:45
Speaker 4: about that, let's actually go to our next segment, which
30:49
Speaker 4: is the accountability partner. This is where we reach out
30:56
Speaker 4: to the people in our lives who will tell us
30:59
Speaker 4: the truth right, who will share scripture you know, won't
31:03
Speaker 4: sugarcoat it. They're not people pleasers. These people want to
31:07
Speaker 4: please God. And as we see by the scriptures, especially
31:11
Speaker 4: the Book of Jeremiah, how we can be led astray
31:14
Speaker 4: by the dictates of our own hearts, our own imaginations,
31:19
Speaker 4: our own thoughts could lead us astray. We need to
31:22
Speaker 4: renew our minds and we need somebody to say, you
31:25
Speaker 4: know what, this is the word of God. You are
31:29
Speaker 4: way off on your thinking, your decisions, the things that
31:32
Speaker 4: you want to do right is good. It's a safe
31:35
Speaker 4: place to have that, and we have it right here
31:39
Speaker 4: on the podcast. Now. Of course, we want you to
31:43
Speaker 4: be plugged into your home church. Your pastor or some
31:47
Speaker 4: leaders or someone who's spiritually mature should be working with you.
31:51
Speaker 4: But we are also here to come alongside. If you
31:54
Speaker 4: don't have it, then you got it right here. All
31:57
Speaker 4: you have to do is participate. If you go to
31:59
Speaker 4: the top left men, you hit that drop down, click
32:03
Speaker 4: on podcasts and click on Yours Truly to his Hot
32:06
Speaker 4: Radio podcast. Then scroll down until you see the Accountability
32:11
Speaker 4: Partner link. You can go over the questions and it
32:14
Speaker 4: only works if we do it with integrity. Right, we
32:19
Speaker 4: have to be honest with ourselves. Go over the questions
32:22
Speaker 4: and then you can request the follow up and someone
32:26
Speaker 4: from my team or even myself, we will hit you up.
32:29
Speaker 4: We will pray with you, and we will help you.
32:31
Speaker 4: Maybe there's a sin that you're struggling with, we want
32:34
Speaker 4: to pray with you and help you to get over it.
32:37
Speaker 4: Sometimes you need that agreement in prayer. Some of us
32:41
Speaker 4: we get saved, but we never get delivered from things,
32:45
Speaker 4: and so there is a process of being delivered as well,
32:48
Speaker 4: and so we want the full deliverance.
32:52
Speaker 6: Right.
32:52
Speaker 4: We want all that God has given us when he
32:56
Speaker 4: died on the cross. We have so many benefits. A
33:00
Speaker 4: lot of people do not experience it because they don't know.
33:04
Speaker 4: And so that's what we want to do here on
33:07
Speaker 4: the podcast. And we also give daily challenges. If you
33:10
Speaker 4: look in the Life Chat, you will see the challenge
33:13
Speaker 4: today for the Accountability Partner. Now it says today, ask
33:17
Speaker 4: your accountability partner, where have you seen God helping me
33:21
Speaker 4: grow in humility? Do you see that you are growing
33:27
Speaker 4: in humility? And what areas do you see yourself growing?
33:31
Speaker 4: Do you see God helping you right? Because he resists
33:34
Speaker 4: the prow but he gives grace to the humble. And
33:40
Speaker 4: where do I still need to surrender my pride? What
33:44
Speaker 4: area of your pride? I believe we all deal with
33:49
Speaker 4: it right. We all have the sinful nature. So we
33:54
Speaker 4: need to admit at first thing, admit that we have
33:58
Speaker 4: pride in our lives, and then we need to surrender
34:02
Speaker 4: that pride over to the Lord, and then listen carefully,
34:06
Speaker 4: pray together, invite God to shape our characters. Hey man, now,
34:12
Speaker 4: this is the process. This is what will keep us
34:15
Speaker 4: on that narrow path if we go through these exercises,
34:20
Speaker 4: and if we go through the process and allow God
34:23
Speaker 4: to work in us and through us. Say man, Also,
34:29
Speaker 4: I want to remind you all that his Heart Radio
34:31
Speaker 4: is a monitor and a reporting radio station. We pay royalties.
34:35
Speaker 4: We just don't play music over the internet. We do chart.
34:41
Speaker 4: We report to three different charts, and even the Hiss
34:44
Speaker 4: Heart Radio app itself is a chart. There's a chart
34:48
Speaker 4: system built in it. There's multiple radio stations on it
34:51
Speaker 4: and each one has a chart. You can click the
34:55
Speaker 4: thumbs up button and give it five stars every time
34:59
Speaker 4: you hear your favorite song, and that's how you will
35:02
Speaker 4: rank up. And you can even vote for the song.
35:05
Speaker 4: So let's be the Christian a hotspot or the Christian
35:11
Speaker 4: hip hop headquarters for everyone who wants to get their
35:15
Speaker 4: music out there and get that exposure. If you want
35:18
Speaker 4: to submit your music, go to our website his hotmation
35:22
Speaker 4: dot com and hit that submissions tab and we will
35:26
Speaker 4: hook you right up. All right, all right, now it
35:38
Speaker 4: is time for the trivia. I'm gonna have to get
35:42
Speaker 4: like some drum rolls or something, you know what I mean.
35:46
Speaker 4: Get your fingers ready and get ready to go over
35:50
Speaker 4: to the life chat. The first one who gives a
35:54
Speaker 4: correct answer will be the trivia champion for today. Now
35:59
Speaker 4: this is his high. She requested that these questions will
36:04
Speaker 4: be harder, more of a challenge, right, so, I don't know,
36:08
Speaker 4: hopefully today will be a better challenge today to get
36:12
Speaker 4: you guys to research and to really, you know, engage
36:17
Speaker 4: your brains with the scriptures. But anyway, here's a question.
36:22
Speaker 4: According to Jeremiah thirteen twenty three, what two things are
36:27
Speaker 4: used to illustrate humility inability to change itself? What two things?
36:36
Speaker 4: Let me repeat it, and we even give you the
36:40
Speaker 4: scripture Jeremiah thirteen twenty three. What two things are used
36:46
Speaker 4: to illustrate not humility, is humanity's inability to change itself? See?
36:54
Speaker 4: I got to ask the right question? All right? What
36:56
Speaker 4: two things are used to illustrate humanity's inability to change itself?
37:03
Speaker 4: One more time? You've been listening. If you've been listening
37:06
Speaker 4: and paying attention to the podcast, you should have an
37:09
Speaker 4: answer already. What two things are used to illustrate humanities
37:16
Speaker 4: inability to change itself? All right? Let's see the zoom
37:23
Speaker 4: will get his thought back today. All right. Our next
37:29
Speaker 4: segment is our community shout out, and here we want
37:33
Speaker 4: to let you know about our up and coming events.
37:36
Speaker 4: The big one on the calendar right now is August
37:41
Speaker 4: the twenty ninth. We will be at the Resort World.
37:43
Speaker 4: It is open to the public. It is a business mixer,
37:47
Speaker 4: but we will bring the podcast there. We will actually
37:50
Speaker 4: be working with another radio station. Will be there as
37:56
Speaker 4: a radio personality as a host, and also I will
38:00
Speaker 4: be there on the ones and twoes bringing you that
38:03
Speaker 4: hot heat playing at Christian hip hop. You know what
38:06
Speaker 4: we do, and so if y'all want to come out
38:10
Speaker 4: I believe it's actually free. It'll be like an all
38:14
Speaker 4: day event, especially if you're a business owner. We encourage
38:18
Speaker 4: you to come out and to get involved. Also, we
38:28
Speaker 4: want to let you know that His Hot Nation, Inc.
38:30
Speaker 4: Is a nonprofit organization. We are at five oh one
38:34
Speaker 4: c three a public charity. We are looking for support.
38:39
Speaker 4: We need a new building. We opened up a Christian
38:43
Speaker 4: club back in twenty twelve and we've been able to
38:46
Speaker 4: operate it for seven years. And I believe that God
38:51
Speaker 4: is not finished. I believe that's still the vision. Unless
38:54
Speaker 4: the Lord says something different, we want to relaunch or
38:57
Speaker 4: we open the club. But also in humility, right, we
39:02
Speaker 4: know that we cannot do this on our own. This
39:05
Speaker 4: is meant for the Body of Christ to get involved
39:08
Speaker 4: and take ownership right because we are advancing the Kingdom together.
39:13
Speaker 4: So we are asking for donors, monthly donors and supporters, sponsors.
39:19
Speaker 4: We're asking for grant writers if you know of any
39:22
Speaker 4: grants that would fit our organization. We're asking for those
39:28
Speaker 4: who can volunteer, and eventually our heart and desire is
39:33
Speaker 4: to be able to hire people, hire employees. That this
39:36
Speaker 4: will be one of the biggest organizations in the state
39:39
Speaker 4: of Nevada, and so we believe that there's purpose behind it.
39:43
Speaker 4: We have youth programs. We need you to sign up
39:47
Speaker 4: your youth. If you have young adults in the house,
39:50
Speaker 4: teenagers in the house, please check out go to our
39:54
Speaker 4: nonprofit website, Hishotnation dot org and see how you can
39:58
Speaker 4: sign up your children. We can do things mobile right now.
40:02
Speaker 4: We can do things through zoom or over the internet,
40:06
Speaker 4: but we do need a building so that if you
40:12
Speaker 4: want to support us, you can donate on our website
40:16
Speaker 4: Hishtnation dot com, or even on our nonprofit is dot org,
40:21
Speaker 4: or on the app his Hot Radio on all platforms end.
40:26
Speaker 4: It is a tax write off for you. All right,
40:34
Speaker 4: I have closing prayer. We're going to do a little
40:39
Speaker 4: bit of reflection, closing remarks, and then we will be
40:45
Speaker 4: closing out for this episode. I want to thank everyone
40:48
Speaker 4: for showing up, especially those who showed up to the
40:51
Speaker 4: life Chat. Very encouraging. It helps us to keep this
40:56
Speaker 4: podcast going, hey man. And it just you know, just
41:01
Speaker 4: a little encouragement to keep going when everyone comes in
41:05
Speaker 4: and participate. But of course, if the Lord wants it
41:08
Speaker 4: to keep going, it's gonna keep going. He man. But
41:13
Speaker 4: Jeremiah thirteen ends with a sobering reminder that God doesn't
41:18
Speaker 4: ignore sin. As I always say, God will, Sin will
41:23
Speaker 4: separate us from our relationship with God and my personal testimony.
41:30
Speaker 4: I've always been cool with being related to God. But
41:34
Speaker 4: you know, even though we're related to him as far
41:37
Speaker 4: as being born again, our fellowship can be broken. And
41:43
Speaker 4: that is through sin. Right. The Bible calls it being
41:47
Speaker 4: carnal and God hates it. God will not ignore it
41:51
Speaker 4: if it continues, but He also doesn't stop calling people
41:57
Speaker 4: back to himself, even though judgment may be coming. He
42:01
Speaker 4: gives you that chance, and so we have to keep
42:04
Speaker 4: our ears our eyes open and respond to the chances
42:10
Speaker 4: that God gives us to get it right. Amen. For
42:13
Speaker 4: some of us listening today, this could be your chance.
42:17
Speaker 4: This could be your opportunity, because tomorrow is not promised
42:21
Speaker 4: to no one. Right. His warnings are expressions of His love,
42:28
Speaker 4: giving us opportunity to repent before our hearts grow cold
42:33
Speaker 4: and our hearts grow hard and we're trapped and compromised. Amen.
42:39
Speaker 4: Now the invitation is still the same today. Humble yourself,
42:43
Speaker 4: listen to God's voice, and let him transform your life
42:49
Speaker 4: from the inside out. Stay in the word, walk in humility,
42:57
Speaker 4: live for God's glory and his glory alone. Emily, Father,
43:03
Speaker 4: thank you for speaking truth into our lives today, even
43:07
Speaker 4: when it's difficult to hear. Oh God, forgive us for
43:11
Speaker 4: the times we've allowed pride, stubbornness, or even self reliance
43:16
Speaker 4: to take your place. So God, creating us a humble
43:20
Speaker 4: heart that are eager to listen and to quickly obey,
43:26
Speaker 4: old God to quickly respond to you. Teach us to
43:29
Speaker 4: trust you above our own understanding. Help us accept correction
43:35
Speaker 4: when we gradually walk away from you. We ask by
43:43
Speaker 4: the God that you strengthen every listener today, especially those
43:46
Speaker 4: facing difficult decisions, difficult seasons, those who are struggling spiritually.
43:56
Speaker 4: We ask God, Oh Lord, bless the ministry of his
43:59
Speaker 4: radio and it's our nation in this podcast. Continue using
44:03
Speaker 4: this platform to proclaim your word, to encourage believers, and
44:09
Speaker 4: to reach those who need hope in Jesus Christ. And
44:13
Speaker 4: we ask all these in the powerful mighty name of Jesus.
44:18
Speaker 4: And remember it's not about us, It's all about the Christ.
44:21
Speaker 4: And as God bless.
44:35
