4:34
Speaker 1: we don't need your social or anything like that, but
4:38
Speaker 1: we're gonna need you to send that in so that

4:47
Speaker 1: All right, that's good before Father and praier Everly, Father,
4:52
Speaker 1: and thank you for another day. Thank you Father for
4:55
Speaker 1: allowing us to wake up. We ask Father, God for
4:58
Speaker 1: the empowerment of the Holy Speak, that you will give
5:02
Speaker 1: us understanding and instruction of God. That you will give
5:06
Speaker 1: us a revelation, Father, God, Oh Lord, from the Book
5:09
Speaker 1: of Acts. Today, Father, and I pray Lord for everyone
5:12
Speaker 1: under the sound of my voice, So God, that we
5:14
Speaker 1: will look like the Book of Acts, and we will
5:18
Speaker 1: look like the early Church. God with the power of
5:21
Speaker 1: the purity and the unity of God of us to
5:24
Speaker 1: go back to the foundation's father. We thank you, Lord
5:29
Speaker 1: in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen. Amen. All right,
5:39
Speaker 1: let's go to the scriptures. We're gonna hit you from
5:42
Speaker 1: verse twelve and we're gonna go all the way to
5:46
Speaker 1: twenty six. Then they returned to Jerusalem. From the mouth
5:57
Speaker 1: called all of it the reason why there. Let me
6:01
Speaker 1: get some background. Jesus just ascended. Jesus rose again from
6:10
Speaker 1: the grave. He was just crucified. He appeared to over
6:15
Speaker 1: five hundred people, and the Bible itself says that there's
6:20
Speaker 1: infallible proofs that he has rose from the dead, and
6:24
Speaker 1: so there are many witnesses, a lot of people who
6:27
Speaker 1: testify and say that they were eye witnesses. And so
6:34
Speaker 1: he ascended back up in the heaven. A cloud covered
6:37
Speaker 1: him up. Then the angels standing by, they said, why
6:41
Speaker 1: are you watching gazing into the sky. You know, go
6:46
Speaker 1: basically do what you're instructed to do. This Jesus will
6:49
Speaker 1: return the same way he left. And so they're going
6:56
Speaker 1: to go to Jerusalem like the Lord instructed him to.
7:01
Speaker 1: And that's why we're picking it up in verse twelve.
7:04
Speaker 1: Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mouth called Olivet,
7:08
Speaker 1: which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day journey. And when
7:14
Speaker 1: they had entered, they went up into the upper room
7:19
Speaker 1: where they were staying Peter, James, John, and Andrew, Philip,
7:26
Speaker 1: and Thomas Bartholomew and Matthew, James the son of Alpheus,
7:33
Speaker 1: and Simon the Zealot, and Judas the son of James.
7:39
Speaker 1: These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication
7:47
Speaker 1: with the women and married the mother of Jesus, and
7:53
Speaker 1: with his brothers. I want to pause for a second,
7:57
Speaker 1: and I just wanted to notice that this is the
8:01
Speaker 1: last mention of Mary, the mother of Jesus in the
8:06
Speaker 1: New Testament. We don't hear from her anymore. We don't
8:11
Speaker 1: hear about her death, we don't hear about anything else.
8:17
Speaker 1: Everything just goes silent. We hear a little bit from
8:20
Speaker 1: his brothers. We know his brothers or pillars in the
8:25
Speaker 1: early church. James, where you get the Book of Jeans from,
8:29
Speaker 1: and Jude, we get the Book of Jude from his
8:35
Speaker 1: two brothers. If these were sons of Joseph, right, Mary
8:43
Speaker 1: and Joseph, these were children from that marriage, that union,
8:49
Speaker 1: And for that matter, we really don't hear any more
8:51
Speaker 1: about Joseph as well. And so I know the Catholics
9:01
Speaker 1: made her into some type of God, But you know,
9:04
Speaker 1: we do not believe in that. The scripture doesn't say
9:07
Speaker 1: that we need to worship Mary. As a matter of fact,
9:11
Speaker 1: Jesus said, who is my mother? Right? But we do
9:15
Speaker 1: honor her as the mother of our Savior and man
9:20
Speaker 1: verse routeene. And in those days Peter stood up in
9:23
Speaker 1: the midst of the disciples, although the number of names
9:30
Speaker 1: was about one hundred and twenty, and said, men and brethren,
9:36
Speaker 1: the scripture had to be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit
9:42
Speaker 1: spoke before by the mouth of David, according Judas, who
9:48
Speaker 1: became a guide to those who arrested him. Now this
9:55
Speaker 1: is interesting. I want to notice the nol scripture that
10:02
Speaker 1: Peter has. He's quoting from the Book of Songs. And
10:07
Speaker 1: now how important scripture has become in his life. And
10:15
Speaker 1: this is exactly the same attitude we need to have
10:20
Speaker 1: about the scriptures. The scriptures should be there to guide
10:24
Speaker 1: us on a daily basis Verse seventeen. For he was
10:30
Speaker 1: numbered with us and obtained a part in this ministry.
10:37
Speaker 1: Now Judas was so close. He was numbered with the apostles,
10:44
Speaker 1: and he had parts, and he shared with the ministry.
10:48
Speaker 1: Now this man purchased a field with the wages of iniquity,
10:53
Speaker 1: and falling headlong, he burst open in the middle in
10:59
Speaker 1: all his his entrails gushed out. Wow. Now we know
11:05
Speaker 1: that Judas says that he hung himself. But also I
11:11
Speaker 1: believe that when he hung himself, he put the rope
11:15
Speaker 1: around his neck and he jumped and the branch probably broke,
11:21
Speaker 1: or maybe he snapped his neck or something, and he fell,
11:25
Speaker 1: and that's how his intrails burst it out. Because there's
11:33
Speaker 1: a couple of accounts of this. We know the Gospel
11:35
Speaker 1: said that he hung himself, but Peter said that his
11:38
Speaker 1: entrails gushed out, and it became known to all these
11:43
Speaker 1: dwelling in Jerusalem, so that the field is called in
11:47
Speaker 1: their own language akadema ak e l d a m
11:56
Speaker 1: a akel dama. I believe that's how you pronounce it,
12:02
Speaker 1: that is field of blood. It is called in their
12:06
Speaker 1: language basically the field of blood, for it is written
12:10
Speaker 1: in the Book of Psalms. Let his dwelling place be desolate,
12:17
Speaker 1: and let no one live in it. The second time,
12:21
Speaker 1: he's quoting from the book of Psalms, and let another
12:26
Speaker 1: take his office. Therefore, of these men, now, I want
12:37
Speaker 1: to say this before we move on. Judas had close
12:46
Speaker 1: fellowship with Jesus. But even the whole time Jesus himself
12:53
Speaker 1: said one of you is a devil. He did not
12:56
Speaker 1: surprise us. Jesus knew who he was from the very beginning.
13:04
Speaker 1: But it even says the scriptures must be fulfilled. Now,
13:10
Speaker 1: David is one of my favorite Bible characters, an amazing
13:14
Speaker 1: man of God, a mighty king of Israel. There was
13:20
Speaker 1: a situation where David fell, and a part of the
13:25
Speaker 1: consequences was his family was never the same again. There
13:29
Speaker 1: was infighting, different things happening in his family, and his
13:34
Speaker 1: son Absalom actually rebelled, rose up against him in the
13:38
Speaker 1: efforts to take the throne. And so while this happened,
13:44
Speaker 1: there was a I believe he was a prophet? Was
13:48
Speaker 1: it Mahithaphel? Was his name? Going off the top of
13:53
Speaker 1: my head, I should have got the scriptures up. But
13:55
Speaker 1: if you read the story of David, I believe it's
13:58
Speaker 1: in Second Samuel, you will come across his story. And
14:02
Speaker 1: he became a counselor to Absalom. Now, somehow I believe
14:09
Speaker 1: David had a close relationship with this man. This man
14:13
Speaker 1: used to counsel David. This man was a wise counselor,
14:19
Speaker 1: but he had something against David. I believe he was
14:23
Speaker 1: related to Bathsheba somehow, and he was not happy with
14:30
Speaker 1: what David. You know, David committed adult you with Bathsheba,
14:34
Speaker 1: killed her husband and ended up, you know, marrying her
14:41
Speaker 1: after he murdered her husband, and you know, they had
14:45
Speaker 1: a child, and that's where you get King Solomon from.
14:47
Speaker 1: But I believe this this prophet had something against David
14:55
Speaker 1: because he was related to her, to Bathsheba. If I'm right,
14:59
Speaker 1: do your own study on it, just to make If
15:03
Speaker 1: I'm wrong, let me know in the life chat. But
15:05
Speaker 1: it's been a while since I've studied it. But I
15:07
Speaker 1: believe this was the background. And so once Absalom rose
15:12
Speaker 1: up and betrayed David, and David felt that and solms
15:19
Speaker 1: it says that I couldn't handle it. It was an enemy,
15:24
Speaker 1: but it was you a close friend. Might equal. We
15:28
Speaker 1: enjoyed sweet fellowship together. We went into the House of
15:32
Speaker 1: the Lord together, and David was heartbroken. He was crushed
15:39
Speaker 1: to have someone that close to him betray him, and
15:46
Speaker 1: it's a foreshadowing and it's a symbol of Judas. How
15:52
Speaker 1: Judas betrayed our savior. Jesus said that it would be
16:00
Speaker 1: better for the man if he had never been born.
16:05
Speaker 1: And even us, there are times, belove it that our
16:10
Speaker 1: close friends, maybe even family members, people who we enjoyed
16:15
Speaker 1: sweet fellowship together, will end up betraying us, end up
16:21
Speaker 1: stabbing us in the back. And that's one of the
16:25
Speaker 1: most painful things. We can handle it if it's a
16:28
Speaker 1: hater or just somebody a coworker or you know, a
16:32
Speaker 1: classmate or somebody like that. But someone close to you,
16:36
Speaker 1: someone who knows your deep, deepest secret, someone who knows
16:39
Speaker 1: your life, someone who be to be be trends, you know,
16:47
Speaker 1: someone who pretends to be a friend and betrays you.
16:53
Speaker 1: That's what some of the worst pains to go through.
17:00
Speaker 1: But the Bible also says that Jesus has been tempted
17:02
Speaker 1: in all areas like unto us, but without sinning, Jesus
17:07
Speaker 1: understanding he knows that depth of betrayal, and he knows
17:14
Speaker 1: how to get us through. He knows how to heal
17:16
Speaker 1: our hearts. Remember it's always the word speak, the words speak,
17:21
Speaker 1: the word over your heart speak healing. Amen. That's how
17:26
Speaker 1: we defeat the enemy, the adversary. And so I think
17:30
Speaker 1: it's interesting that Peter brings up David. He's quoting from
17:34
Speaker 1: the Book of Psalms referring to Judas Is Scariot in
17:41
Speaker 1: verse seventeen. He was numbered with us and obtained a
17:45
Speaker 1: part in this ministry. Now this man purchase a field
17:50
Speaker 1: with the wages of iniquity falling headlong and bursts open
17:54
Speaker 1: in the middle, and all his entrails gushed out. Else
18:00
Speaker 1: sounds pretty girls, right, And it became known to all
18:05
Speaker 1: those dwelling in Jerusalem. So the field is called in
18:07
Speaker 1: their language the field of blood. Ain't gonna try to
18:10
Speaker 1: pronounce that word again, for it is written in the
18:13
Speaker 1: Book of Psalms. Let his dwelling place be desolate, and
18:18
Speaker 1: let no one live in it, and let another take
18:22
Speaker 1: his place. Now, I think it's interesting it says another
18:27
Speaker 1: take his place. If someone walks out on you on trip,
18:32
Speaker 1: God is going to bring someone in to take their place,
18:36
Speaker 1: to do what they have failed to do in your life,
18:40
Speaker 1: or to be what they failed to be in your life.
18:44
Speaker 1: God is able to restore what was lost. Amen. So
18:49
Speaker 1: anyone therefore of these men who have accompanied us all
18:54
Speaker 1: the time in that the Lord Jesus went in and
18:59
Speaker 1: out among us, gaining from the baptism of John to
19:04
Speaker 1: the day when he was taken up from us. One
19:08
Speaker 1: of these must become a witness with us of his resurrection.
19:15
Speaker 1: Now here's Peter moving. He wants to replace Judas. And
19:21
Speaker 1: these are the requirements someone who came in and out
19:25
Speaker 1: amongst us while Jesus was amongst us, and Barrel bore
19:29
Speaker 1: witness of his resurrection. Now people ask today, and this
19:39
Speaker 1: is do the apostleship still exists?
19:42
Speaker 4: Like?
19:42
Speaker 1: Can people still become apostles? Well, of course, knowing in
19:47
Speaker 1: this generation, can really you know, be held to these
19:52
Speaker 1: standards to be with Jesus from the days of John
19:55
Speaker 1: the Baptists when he was alive, and to witness his resurrection.
20:00
Speaker 1: But Jesus can still appear to people. And that I mean,
20:07
Speaker 1: I don't know when I first heard of apostles. And
20:11
Speaker 1: actually there's an our pastor has an apostle and apostolic
20:15
Speaker 1: annointment in his life. First, you know, that kind of
20:19
Speaker 1: puzzled mean, But the Bible does it say that there
20:24
Speaker 1: will be no more apostles. It doesn't give us clear
20:28
Speaker 1: instruction on that. But there are high standards to be
20:33
Speaker 1: qualified to the apostleship. And they proposed to Joseph called
20:42
Speaker 1: Barnabas was surname Justice and Matthias. And they prayed and said,
20:51
Speaker 1: Oh Lord, who know the hearts of all, which is key,
20:57
Speaker 1: show which of these two you have chosen and to
21:02
Speaker 1: take part in this ministry, an apostleship from which Judas,
21:08
Speaker 1: by transgression failed. Judas could have been an apostle that
21:14
Speaker 1: he might go to his own place, which is a
21:18
Speaker 1: horrible place. He went to Hell. I believe Judas is
21:22
Speaker 1: in Hell right now as we speak. And Jesus himself
21:27
Speaker 1: said that it would have been better if this man
21:29
Speaker 1: would never have been born. Who knows what type of
21:34
Speaker 1: torture and torment that he is undergoing, Demons assigned to him,
21:41
Speaker 1: torturing him, the only one in that level that betrayed
21:49
Speaker 1: him like he did. Now we all have the potential
21:52
Speaker 1: to betray our Lord, which is we got to be
21:57
Speaker 1: very careful of. So we can't necessarily try to, you know,
22:03
Speaker 1: judge this man as if we're so righteous and above
22:06
Speaker 1: and it would never happen. No, we have to pray
22:08
Speaker 1: against you know, because Our flesh is our flesh, right,
22:15
Speaker 1: But this man is in his own place. Hell is real.
22:20
Speaker 1: If you look on the app, I'm always point you
22:25
Speaker 1: to the top left menu, hit that drop down and
22:27
Speaker 1: you will see a tab right there that says hell
22:31
Speaker 1: is real. There's a testimony of a man who went
22:34
Speaker 1: to hell for twenty eight minutes. It's horrendous. I encourage
22:39
Speaker 1: everyone who's listening to this podcast to go click on
22:44
Speaker 1: that and watch that video. It's always healthy to have
22:48
Speaker 1: a good fear of God in our hearts. Always amen.
22:53
Speaker 1: Verse twenty six. And they cast lots, and the lot
22:56
Speaker 1: fell on Matthias, and he was no numbered with the
23:01
Speaker 1: eleven apostles. Now, I do want to say this before
23:04
Speaker 1: we break all this down, that I don't know this
23:11
Speaker 1: kind of happened before the Pentecost, before the outpoint of
23:17
Speaker 1: the Holy Spirit. It doesn't necessarily say that the Holy
23:22
Speaker 1: Spirit told Peter to replace Judas. I think this is
23:29
Speaker 1: Peter being Peter. Peter probably kind of got ahead of
23:34
Speaker 1: the progress a little bit, because who is Matthias, Like,
23:38
Speaker 1: we never heard of him before or after this. And
23:43
Speaker 1: they cast lots. That was something they did in the
23:45
Speaker 1: Old Testament. You don't see it in the New Testament
23:50
Speaker 1: except for this point in the law. They did this.
23:56
Speaker 1: That's how David went to battle. David, but as should
23:59
Speaker 1: we go up against the Philistines. And they cast lots.
24:02
Speaker 1: I believe they were the rm and the thummum. Where
24:07
Speaker 1: they would try to get it was like a black
24:08
Speaker 1: rock or a white rock, and they went and wanted
24:11
Speaker 1: to find the will of God. They would somehow throw
24:16
Speaker 1: the rocks out or something. And if it was white
24:19
Speaker 1: it means gold. Black it meant no. But now with
24:23
Speaker 1: the outpoint of the Holy Spirit that they we don't
24:26
Speaker 1: cast lots anymore. And so who is Matthias? If you know,
24:31
Speaker 1: let me know, I mean a life chat. What has
24:34
Speaker 1: he done? He hasn't written a book. We haven't heard
24:36
Speaker 1: from him since this. I believe the obvious choice was
24:42
Speaker 1: the apostle Paul, who did an amazing work for the kingdom.
24:51
Speaker 1: I believe that Paul the Apostle replaced Judas the Scariot,
24:57
Speaker 1: who Paul did a great job for the kingdom. But
25:03
Speaker 1: like I said, that's my opinion. Do your own study
25:06
Speaker 1: on it. Amen. So let's break all this down another one,
25:13
Speaker 1: all right. These passages show the obedience and unity of
25:20
Speaker 1: the early believers. Now, Jesus told them to wait in Jerusalem,
25:26
Speaker 1: and they did just that, though it would have been
25:31
Speaker 1: easier to probably scatter in fear and confusion. Now in
25:39
Speaker 1: verse fourteen, it says that they continued in one accord
25:46
Speaker 1: in prayer. You know that was not their car. They
25:51
Speaker 1: didn't all have one accord. They continued in one accord.
25:55
Speaker 1: They had unity together. Now, the Greek word for one accord,
26:03
Speaker 1: the meaning of it is with one mind, one passion,
26:08
Speaker 1: and one heart. This word appears eleven times in the
26:15
Speaker 1: Book of Acts, and it's showing the power of unity
26:20
Speaker 1: in the early Church. There is power when we are
26:23
Speaker 1: united together, loving each other. Just as Christ commanded us
26:29
Speaker 1: to respecting each other, you got to respect each other.
26:34
Speaker 1: In the office in the world that God has placed
26:36
Speaker 1: in our lives, some of us are called to lead.
26:40
Speaker 1: Some of us has that office as a leader in
26:44
Speaker 1: the church, either you're a pastor or apostle, or Bible
26:51
Speaker 1: study leader or ministry leader. We show love by submitting
26:55
Speaker 1: to our leaders and respecting their authority, not rebelling against them.
27:01
Speaker 1: And that's how we show unity. There's things that are
27:04
Speaker 1: going to come through your leader that God is not
27:08
Speaker 1: going to necessarily come through you to get He wants
27:12
Speaker 1: you to get things from your leaders. There's power in unity. Yes,
27:18
Speaker 1: we can serve God together, I mean alone, worship God alone.
27:21
Speaker 1: You know, we don't need to go through our leaders.
27:24
Speaker 1: As far as our mediator, there's only one mediator, and
27:31
Speaker 1: that's Christ Jesus. We can go to God directly. That
27:34
Speaker 1: God is a god of order and structure. There's a
27:38
Speaker 1: role that your leaders play in your life that you're
27:44
Speaker 1: not gonna get until you submit to the process. And
27:50
Speaker 1: you know me, if you know my testimony, you know
27:53
Speaker 1: I've always talk about pastors that overstep their bounds and
27:59
Speaker 1: control and dimind and their congregants the people that they're leading.
28:05
Speaker 1: But there is a balance, there is a place where
28:08
Speaker 1: they do have authority and they have an anointing and
28:12
Speaker 1: blessing to pass on to the people if they are faithful. Amen.
28:23
Speaker 1: Now let's take a look at Peter real quick. Now,
28:30
Speaker 1: even after falling Jesus, he denied Jesus three times, and
28:37
Speaker 1: Jesus gave him the opportunity to proclaim his love three times.
28:44
Speaker 1: We talked about that. We know that God wants us
28:47
Speaker 1: to have a capacity and I pray that you add
28:50
Speaker 1: this to your prayer life you're prayerless. He wants us
28:54
Speaker 1: to have the capacity to love from a God a
28:57
Speaker 1: place of supreme life love. It's in a gode love
29:01
Speaker 1: and unconditional love. And pray that God will enlarge your
29:06
Speaker 1: heart to turn your love for him into a gope.
29:10
Speaker 1: Because Peter was at for LeHo, which is like a
29:13
Speaker 1: brotherly kindness type of love. But Jesus wants the supreme love.
29:19
Speaker 1: He wants to be first. The Bible says, love the
29:22
Speaker 1: Lord of all your heart, mind, soul, and strength. And
29:26
Speaker 1: then love your neighbor is yourself. God wants us to
29:28
Speaker 1: love each other in a gope. Amen. And so even
29:36
Speaker 1: though Peter failed right here, he stands up again as
29:41
Speaker 1: a leader in the crowd. Now that's evidence of God's restorate,
29:48
Speaker 1: restoring grace. God can restore us from any place of failure.
29:54
Speaker 1: Don't let condemnation and accusation shame make you fall short
30:03
Speaker 1: from a call that God has on your life. And
30:06
Speaker 1: I'm speaking as a person who has failed my savior
30:11
Speaker 1: multiple times. Man Now in verse twenty four and twenty six,
30:25
Speaker 1: Before Pentecosts, they used the Old Testament method of casting
30:29
Speaker 1: the lots to discern God's will, and we talked about that, right,
30:35
Speaker 1: but after the Holy Spirit came, the Spirit himself became
30:39
Speaker 1: the guide. This meant that the old ways of casting lots,
30:51
Speaker 1: the Old Testament, there was a transition to the New Testament.
30:57
Speaker 1: It's a symbol of the transition from the law to
31:01
Speaker 1: the spirit. That's where God wants us, that he wants
31:06
Speaker 1: us in the spirit. Now this hits pretty deep, y'all
31:11
Speaker 1: because we see the disciples waiting, praying and standing together,
31:20
Speaker 1: and they didn't know how long it would take. That
31:23
Speaker 1: they trusted the promise, they trusted the process. In verse fourteen,
31:30
Speaker 1: they continued with one accord in prayer. That's the kind
31:35
Speaker 1: of unity God blesses. Right, God is not gonna bless
31:40
Speaker 1: our mess. He's not gonna bless the vision. That divided
31:45
Speaker 1: house will not stand. That's in her home, that's in
31:48
Speaker 1: her churches, our ministries. I pray. That's one of the
31:54
Speaker 1: things that tactics that the enemy used against his hot nation.
31:58
Speaker 1: Especially in the early days, there was a lot of betrayal,
32:02
Speaker 1: a lot of vision, a lot of complaining a lot
32:05
Speaker 1: of things. And I'm not saying that I'm perfect. I
32:09
Speaker 1: was immature. I wasn't able to stand against it because
32:13
Speaker 1: I didn't have the proper training. I kind of ran
32:16
Speaker 1: ahead and a lot of what I did, And now
32:21
Speaker 1: after experiencing it, I know better. Now. That's why I
32:27
Speaker 1: know that God isn't done with this opination yet. We've
32:31
Speaker 1: got more to do in our community a man. Now,
32:36
Speaker 1: the church isn't just a place together on Sundays, you know,
32:41
Speaker 1: it's a family that prays together, waits together, and stays
32:47
Speaker 1: focused on the promises of God together. And then when
32:55
Speaker 1: Peter speaks up, he doesn't the people out of pride.
33:02
Speaker 1: He's not prideful. He's not puffed up anymore. He leads
33:08
Speaker 1: out of repentance and restoration. He's humble now, he's been
33:12
Speaker 1: through some stuff. He knows that we need to depend
33:18
Speaker 1: on God. We need God's power, we need God's grace.
33:22
Speaker 1: It's not about us, it's about the Christ in us.
33:25
Speaker 1: That's why I say that, Amen, God can still use
33:29
Speaker 1: you after your biggest failure. So those listening please listen up.
33:36
Speaker 1: You may have failed. It could have been sexual sin,
33:41
Speaker 1: It could have been drugs, alcohol, could been a felled
33:46
Speaker 1: family of feled marriage, a failed opportunity, failed minish you,
33:50
Speaker 1: whatever don't let that failure define you. That's not who
33:54
Speaker 1: you are. There is grace for you to get back up.
34:01
Speaker 1: That is grace and action. Now, when they chose Matthias,
34:10
Speaker 1: they prayed you, Oh Lord know the hearts of all men.
34:15
Speaker 1: Now that's key right there. God knows every single heart
34:22
Speaker 1: you do not. I repeat, We do not have to
34:28
Speaker 1: compare or compete with one another. All we have to
34:34
Speaker 1: do is just be faithful to the Lord.
34:39
Speaker 4: One.
34:39
Speaker 1: Now, before the spirit came, they positioned themselves in unity
34:44
Speaker 1: and in obedience, and that is what opened the door
34:51
Speaker 1: for Pentecost. Before the power comes, there must be prep opiration.
35:02
Speaker 1: My question to you is what are you preparing for?
35:08
Speaker 1: What do you need power to accomplish for? What has
35:15
Speaker 1: God called you to? And are you in a place
35:21
Speaker 1: of submission in unity? In the body of Christ. There
35:27
Speaker 1: is no such thing as lone rangers. You need that fellowship,
35:32
Speaker 1: you need that covering. That's what I always say, especially
35:40
Speaker 1: when we do our accountability partner segment. You need a
35:44
Speaker 1: Pall in your life. You need someone who's poorn into you.
35:48
Speaker 1: You also need a Timothy. You need someone that you're
35:51
Speaker 1: pouring into as well. That is a healthy move of God.
35:56
Speaker 1: That's how the body grows, and that's how we stay
35:59
Speaker 1: accountable a man. All right, let's take a break. We'll
36:07
Speaker 1: be right back.
36:07
Speaker 2: You are listening to the light of Las Vegas. This
36:11
Speaker 2: is the hiss Hop radio show.
36:15
Speaker 3: Every day we die every day, every day, every.
36:21
Speaker 5: Day we die, every day, every day we die everyday.
36:34
Speaker 2: I try to want him, I really did.
36:38
Speaker 1: Huh.
36:40
Speaker 3: All I saw was red like a mad at all.
36:42
Speaker 3: Then I've seen his brain matter on the matted floor.
36:45
Speaker 3: Should have told him that he mad at more. Now
36:48
Speaker 3: a test fall like the rose petals that hit the
36:51
Speaker 3: casket dogs in the talk when you was backing raw
36:54
Speaker 3: saying it was with you laughing, giving you a couple
36:57
Speaker 3: of japs to know. So you get up like this
37:00
Speaker 3: game and you try to play the.
37:01
Speaker 6: Dance, you're the rules for.
37:02
Speaker 2: The pain, and Mama crying crazier.
37:05
Speaker 1: Remember reason of you as a.
37:06
Speaker 3: Little boy saying, Mama picked me up.
37:09
Speaker 1: Gotta screaming no, not my baby. I'm trying to pray.
37:12
Speaker 1: But that was the last minute. And I read Lives
37:15
Speaker 1: of the.
37:15
Speaker 3: Sand in the hour glass, finished lips, the tail shrink steak,
37:19
Speaker 3: You ate well, hits your faith where eight shells your faith?
37:23
Speaker 3: Saund after the pick from to kiss of death, you
37:26
Speaker 3: can taste hell voice as well, and then regret this
37:29
Speaker 3: match you weight twelve. Jesus told me about the nash
37:32
Speaker 3: and other chiefs should have been asking her for piece,
37:34
Speaker 3: not his maggets underneath. And now you casting and your
37:38
Speaker 3: reaction to the piece, and you should have laid your
37:40
Speaker 3: tasks at a seat. One thing about this game of life.
37:44
Speaker 3: Once you play, there ain't no recess. You trade the
37:46
Speaker 3: salvation for your desire. What's the weed sex and squeeze
37:50
Speaker 3: tags A. I'm trying to scom about the devil's playground,
37:53
Speaker 3: but instead he run this pave before a recess.
37:55
Speaker 5: Now boy suddenly started flying to night.
37:58
Speaker 2: Here a park more that dust settled. One person was
38:00
Speaker 2: dead and several others.
38:02
Speaker 1: Injured, and new will fully say one person was shot
38:04
Speaker 1: and hilled here on Blood Street.
38:06
Speaker 3: Police were locked in on this area in front of
38:08
Speaker 3: the liquor store.
38:08
Speaker 1: We watched us more officers. I started arriving unseen, and
38:11
Speaker 1: I did speak with neighbors off cameras.
38:13
Speaker 6: Somewhere in tears.
38:15
Speaker 1: Mother's telling me to change her to check out what's
38:17
Speaker 1: going on. Now we're talking about shooting that has certainly
38:20
Speaker 1: rattled this community.
38:21
Speaker 4: As I look in my mirror and try to tie
38:24
Speaker 4: my time, my mother walks in. I see tears in
38:26
Speaker 4: her crying eyes. She sits on my bed, and now
38:29
Speaker 4: the work comes out of mouth. We all are down,
38:32
Speaker 4: and now it's been quiet throughout the house.
38:34
Speaker 1: People always say death.
38:36
Speaker 4: Is the natural water of life, but when it hits,
38:38
Speaker 4: that saying doesn't stop our hardest strikes.
38:40
Speaker 6: My father yells out and find my nose.
38:42
Speaker 1: It's time to go to the funeral room home.
38:45
Speaker 4: And it's the part on the slide the month, because
38:47
Speaker 4: it shucks seeing your loved one in the coffin. We
38:50
Speaker 4: reached the funeral room home, my mom is the first
38:52
Speaker 4: to walk in. My father holds a hand, and when
38:55
Speaker 4: they reached the casket, my mother screams and.
38:57
Speaker 1: Know not my baby.
38:58
Speaker 4: Then she collectses the words confused me. So I look
39:01
Speaker 4: and can't believe my eyes. In front of me is
39:04
Speaker 4: an open casket and it's being signed. Suddenly, I can't
39:07
Speaker 4: remember all that happened. I was with the spoiler trapping
39:10
Speaker 4: and if he's called a slacking, they prompted us and
39:13
Speaker 4: they left the bullets as a departing gift, and that
39:16
Speaker 4: is how I ended.
39:17
Speaker 1: Up here as a carcas stiff.
39:19
Speaker 4: I heard some whispers behind me, so I turned to seat.
39:22
Speaker 4: It was some men in cloaks. He had that was
39:23
Speaker 4: scored me to eternity. They walked me to my door.
39:26
Speaker 4: They grabbed the nob and turned the heat unlike any
39:29
Speaker 4: heat I have ever felt, started burning me. They said,
39:32
Speaker 4: this is a home that will lead to a turn
39:34
Speaker 4: of deep and help with hole being every idle burning.
39:37
Speaker 6: D I left the jar in heaven and I started
39:40
Speaker 6: that game. Please give me another.
39:42
Speaker 4: Chance, And I tried to fall in reference, but Steve
39:45
Speaker 4: Man trab me by my arms and then they forced
39:47
Speaker 4: me hand.
39:47
Speaker 1: How I refalling.
39:48
Speaker 4: I braced myself to get the flour.
39:50
Speaker 6: But then, yeah, I gotta get my life together.
40:03
Speaker 1: Man, Okay, yeah, you're scared of dying. Yeah, everybody's scared
40:09
Speaker 1: to die.
40:10
Speaker 2: But it's nothing though.
40:11
Speaker 1: I mean gonna be scared, like to be really scared
40:13
Speaker 1: about it. But I'm scared to die. I ain't gonna
40:14
Speaker 1: let nobody know that. You know, I never showed nobody
40:17
Speaker 1: that I'm scared to die.
40:18
Speaker 3: It's a block forever. It's a block forever block.
40:22
Speaker 2: You are listening to the light of Las Vegas. This
40:25
Speaker 2: is the hiss hop radio show.
40:38
Speaker 4: It looks like you lost another one.
40:44
Speaker 1: And we are back. We are back. That is uh,
40:48
Speaker 1: every day we die. Uh. It's our brother Dnton off
40:53
Speaker 1: of his new project there. That song is pretty deep.
40:58
Speaker 1: You never know when you're gonna draw that last breath.
41:04
Speaker 1: We definitely got to get our lives together because eternity
41:06
Speaker 1: is way too long to be wrong, you know what
41:09
Speaker 1: I'm saying. So that is pretty deep. As we're talking
41:15
Speaker 1: about Judas and how he betrayed our Savior and how
41:20
Speaker 1: you know, our flesh we could betray him too. We
41:24
Speaker 1: have the potential to sell out if we are not careful.
41:28
Speaker 1: That's why we have to win this war every day
41:31
Speaker 1: to do the right thing, to put on the mind
41:34
Speaker 1: of Christ, to walk in the spirit, and to crucify
41:38
Speaker 1: our flesh. Amen. That's why we jump on here every
41:43
Speaker 1: day to hold each other accountable. And that's a good
41:46
Speaker 1: segue to go into our next segment, the accountability Partner.
41:52
Speaker 1: This was birth out of me working the altar at
41:55
Speaker 1: church and praying for the saints and noticing the same
42:00
Speaker 1: struggle for years. Some people are trapped in the same
42:04
Speaker 1: cycle of sin, and I've been myself. I love it
42:08
Speaker 1: and I'm not above anyone else. But there's a power
42:13
Speaker 1: when we come together in unity. We just read it
42:16
Speaker 1: here in a book of acts. When we agree together
42:18
Speaker 1: in prayer, and when we genuinely from our hearts love
42:23
Speaker 1: one another. The Lord knows every heart. He knows when
42:26
Speaker 1: we're faking it, he knows when we're just using people,
42:29
Speaker 1: he knows when we're just I'm gonna be with this
42:33
Speaker 1: person until I get what I want, until I achieve
42:36
Speaker 1: the goal that I think I can achieve, and then
42:39
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna cut this person off.
42:41
Speaker 6: No.
42:44
Speaker 1: God wants us to egapa each other, to love each
42:47
Speaker 1: other supremely, and to consider one another before ourselves even Amen.
42:55
Speaker 1: So if you need that accountability, if you want us
42:58
Speaker 1: to come on excite you, go on the app to
43:01

43:31
Speaker 1: be setting sin, It could be drugs, alcohol, sex, whatever, anger,
43:36
Speaker 1: attitudes that give you a number of things. We need
43:39
Speaker 1: that accountability to help us to truly change if we're
43:45
Speaker 1: serious about it. And also here is a challenge for
43:50
Speaker 1: this week. This is are also posted in the live chat.
43:55
Speaker 1: You can go back and read it this week. Talk
43:58
Speaker 1: to your accountability partner about am I walking in unity
44:05
Speaker 1: with my brothers and sisters in Christ? Am I truly
44:08
Speaker 1: walking in unity? Do I spend more time praying with
44:13
Speaker 1: people or talking about problems? Let me see that again.
44:19
Speaker 1: Do you spend more time praying with people or more
44:24
Speaker 1: time talking about problems? And issue? Challenge each other to
44:27
Speaker 1: pray together for one specific promise from God this week
44:33
Speaker 1: and wait on him in faith, wait on that promise.
44:39
Speaker 1: Say man, all right? Quick update about his hot radio.
44:50
Speaker 1: We are monitored in a reporting radio station. Submit your
44:55
Speaker 1: music on our website hishtnation dot com. We do report
45:01
Speaker 1: to the charts. Our genre will get more respect and
45:05
Speaker 1: when they see we have our own charts and when
45:07
Speaker 1: we're actually taking over the charts. And I do want
45:12
Speaker 1: to say something about mainstream worldly secular hip hop from
45:20
Speaker 1: what I hear, I haven't done the research, but I
45:24
Speaker 1: hear that they are not on the charts. They're not
45:26
Speaker 1: on the billboards, they're not topping the charts. The first
45:30
Speaker 1: time in almost fifty years, rap music is not dominating
45:35
Speaker 1: the charts. I believe that's because people are sick of
45:39
Speaker 1: the content. They're getting sick of what they are promoting.
45:46
Speaker 1: And I believe that this is a great opportunity for
45:49
Speaker 1: chh to take over and to stand up and then
45:56
Speaker 1: so submit, check out our promos, consider purchasing one of
46:04
Speaker 1: our advertisement packages, and that's how you're gonna get charted
46:09
Speaker 1: on the station. And there's also a chart on the
46:13
Speaker 1: app itself, his Hot Radio App. Click that thumbs up
46:17
Speaker 1: button when your favorite song plays. Amen, and like, subscribe
46:26
Speaker 1: to all that good stuff. Share the app with your friends,
46:30
Speaker 1: your followers, your fans, become one of the influencers, one
46:35
Speaker 1: of the faces of his Hot Radio App. That will
46:38
Speaker 1: help us spread this movement even further. Amen. Now it's
46:46
Speaker 1: time for some trivia. The question is how many believers
46:53
Speaker 1: were gathered in the Upper Room waiting for the promise
46:57
Speaker 1: of the Holy Spirit. How many believers the answers are

Speaker 1: All right, this is my time to close out, but
50:55
Speaker 1: I have some closing comments here. Before power came, they
51:02
Speaker 1: waited immunity, before revival broke out, they prayed together. Let
51:13
Speaker 1: that be a challenge today. Stay united, stay prayerful, and
51:20
Speaker 1: stay ready because the same spirit that fell in Acts
51:27
Speaker 1: is still moving today. Amen. We could look just like
51:33
Speaker 1: they looked in the Book of Acts. I would believe
51:36
Speaker 1: that with all my heart. Now I want to remind
51:44
Speaker 1: you also, don't just go to church. Be the church. Amen.
51:49
Speaker 1: We are the church. And remember it's not about us,
51:56
Speaker 1: It's all about the Christ in us. God bless.
