4:28
Speaker 3: and stuff on the wall, you know. We uh, you know,
4:32
Speaker 3: we were peating mirrors through Las Vegas, and so we
4:37
Speaker 3: wanted to see what kind of art and what kind
4:39
Speaker 3: of mirrors they have out there and downtown Detroit, and
4:43
Speaker 3: we went to this chicken and fish place and we
4:47
Speaker 3: met two young gentlemen there and the Holy Spirit just
4:52
Speaker 3: opened the door to minister to them and we had
4:55
Speaker 3: the opportunity to witness to them and share the love
4:58
Speaker 3: of Christ. And they were both saying how they were
5:01
Speaker 3: struggling and how they were trying to find words of encouragement.
5:05

5:32
Speaker 3: is where we meet up for training in the Word
5:35
Speaker 3: of God. There's very little discipleship that is handled in

7:29
Speaker 3: So this episode is titled Finished Strong and Guard the Flock.
7:35
Speaker 3: Finished Strong and Guard the Flock. Amen. This reminds me
7:40
Speaker 3: of when I first got saved. I was a young
7:43
Speaker 3: man and we see the Lord people on my block.
7:47
Speaker 3: God saved. God just give us a revival throughout our community,
7:52
Speaker 3: and God allowed me to share the gospel to our
7:55
Speaker 3: loved ones and family members. Years later, we're still rolling.
8:02
Speaker 3: Years later, we're still doing his hot and all that
8:04
Speaker 3: good stuff. But one of my favorite shows that was
8:08
Speaker 3: The Young Guns, and I believe it was the third one,
8:14
Speaker 3: Young Guns three, where ability to kids said let's finish
8:18
Speaker 3: the game right like they knew it was trying to
8:22
Speaker 3: finish the game. So that's kind of like how I feel.
8:25
Speaker 3: And that's what I'm getting out of the scriptures today.
8:28
Speaker 3: And that's all I want to say to my brothers
8:30
Speaker 3: and sisters. Let's finish this game. Let's go out like
8:33
Speaker 3: a billy the kid, Let's do a Philly kingdom and man, hallelujah.
8:40
Speaker 3: So from verse twenty five, and indeed, and now I
8:46
Speaker 3: know that you all among who I have gone preaching
8:50
Speaker 3: the Kingdom of God. We'll see in my face no more. Wow,
8:56
Speaker 3: that is touching at that falls like a pack of bricks.
9:01
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying. Paul understood this was likely
9:05
Speaker 3: the last time he would see them and understood that
9:12
Speaker 3: Now this adds weight to the urgency to everything that
9:16
Speaker 3: he's about to say next. Right, this wasn't a casual conversation.
9:25
Speaker 3: This is like my final words now I want to
9:33
Speaker 3: say that to say this, I just got back from Phim.
9:36
Speaker 3: It's been I don't know, twenty plus years since I've
9:40
Speaker 3: been to my hometown that I grew up in. Friends
9:44
Speaker 3: and family that are growing up you know when we're
9:49
Speaker 3: getting up there in age, you know what I mean.
9:51
Speaker 3: We're not in our early twenties anymore. And who knows
9:57
Speaker 3: if that was my last time seeing most of them
10:01
Speaker 3: on that part of the world. And so I had
10:04
Speaker 3: to say something. I had to say something. During the
10:08
Speaker 3: wedding again to Mike, I told my brother how proud
10:12
Speaker 3: I was of him. But also I told him that
10:15
Speaker 3: my prayers that he has a deep walk in relationship
10:19
Speaker 3: with Christ because I know that this.
10:28
Speaker 2: It looks like you lost another one.
10:31
Speaker 3: Is vital and important for him to make it in
10:42
Speaker 3: to the Kingdom. Amen. So I don't know. I mean
10:50
Speaker 3: it's a little touchy. Like you said, what do you
10:53
Speaker 3: say to people that I don't know? These might be
10:56
Speaker 3: your final words, You might not ever see them again.
10:59
Speaker 3: Ask Christian as believers, what would you say. Well, let's
11:03
Speaker 3: see what Paul says man verse twenty six through twenty seven. Therefore,
11:13
Speaker 3: I testify to you this day that I am innocent
11:18
Speaker 3: of the blood of all men. For I have not
11:20
Speaker 3: shunned to declare to you the whole counsel of God.
11:27
Speaker 3: Paul fulfilled his responsibility that was given from heaven. We
11:33
Speaker 3: all have a responsibility from the Kingdom of Heaven. He
11:37
Speaker 3: taught everything, not just what was easy. He was not
11:42
Speaker 3: a prosperity preacher, just you know, blab it and grab it. Right.
11:47
Speaker 3: God wants you to have a big house, a big
11:49
Speaker 3: car without telling you to repent from sin. Right. Look,
11:55
Speaker 3: this is serious. Paul said, I'm innocent of your blood.
12:01
Speaker 3: This means I told you the truth. He didn't sugarcoat it,
12:07
Speaker 3: He did not skip the hard topics. We need more
12:11
Speaker 3: leaders like this today. And just like I said, you know,
12:16
Speaker 3: we met those those guys in Detroit in that chicken
12:21
Speaker 3: and fish place. I knew I only had a few
12:24
Speaker 3: minutes to really talk to them, and so I told
12:27
Speaker 3: them the truth. I said, look, you need to repent
12:30
Speaker 3: from a life of sin. If you're high, if you're
12:33
Speaker 3: drunk right now, whatever you're doing, you're planning to go
12:36
Speaker 3: get high, go get drunk, or you're planning to do
12:39
Speaker 3: some dirt or whatever. No God is calling you to
12:42
Speaker 3: turn away from that. Sin will always separate us from
12:48
Speaker 3: our relationship with God. People need to know that up front.
12:52
Speaker 3: And I told them this. I didn't hold back because
12:56
Speaker 3: I loved him and I wanted to know what they're
12:59
Speaker 3: do And I told him, do you understand what we
13:01
Speaker 3: are about to do? We prayed, they repented, they received
13:05
Speaker 3: received the Lord, they got saved. But I wanted them
13:09
Speaker 3: to know exactly what was happening. I told him, you
13:12
Speaker 3: need to be disciples. I told him, you need to
13:15
Speaker 3: meet us every day at eleven o'clock on the podcast
13:18
Speaker 3: in the Life Chat. And they also downloaded the app,
13:23
Speaker 3: so we got the Hiss Hot radio app down there
13:26
Speaker 3: in Detroit. Y'all, hallelujah, we are taking care of too
13:36
Speaker 3: all right. Verse therefore I take here therefore it takes
13:43
Speaker 3: to yourself into all the flocks to shepherd the Church
13:52
Speaker 3: of God what she purchased with his blood. A man here,
14:01
Speaker 3: let me uh see something, man, let me versu. Therefore,
14:08
Speaker 3: take heed to yourselves into all the flock among which
14:13
Speaker 3: the Holy Spirit has made you over seers, to shepherd
14:17
Speaker 3: the Church of God with his which he purchased with
14:22
Speaker 3: his own blood. Hallelujah, man, this is good all right.
14:29
Speaker 3: So leadership begins with self examination. We have to learn
14:37
Speaker 3: how to confront self, and we need to learn how self. Amen. Hallelujah.
14:50
Speaker 3: Now the church begins with God. The church ends with God.
15:01
Speaker 3: In other words, the church belongs to God, and it
15:06
Speaker 3: was bought with a high price. It was bought with
15:11
Speaker 3: the blood of Christ. The church is valuable. So to
15:16
Speaker 3: the leaders, it gives us two responsibilities. To watch yourself
15:20
Speaker 3: and to watch the fly. This is true leadership right here.
15:26
Speaker 3: You can't lead others if you can't guard your own life.
15:33
Speaker 3: If you're not guarding your own life, where are you
15:35
Speaker 3: leading them to Amen. Paul says that he gets his
15:42
Speaker 3: body down so that he will not be disqualified. The
15:50
Speaker 3: church was bought with the Christ. Do not underestimate how
15:55
Speaker 3: valuable God holds the church. This is his ride am.
16:04
Speaker 3: In verse twenty nine through thirty. If I know this
16:11
Speaker 3: that after my departure, savage wolves will come in. Now,
16:23
Speaker 3: this is the warning right here. If I know this
16:25
Speaker 3: that after my departure, savage wolves will come in among you,
16:30
Speaker 3: not sparing the flock. Also from among yourselves, meaning will
16:35
Speaker 3: rise up speaking for first things, to draw away to
16:40
Speaker 3: disciples after themselves. Therefore, watch and remember that for three
16:48
Speaker 3: years I did not cease to warn everyone night in
16:52
Speaker 3: day and with tears. This is getting heavy, bro, I'm like, wow, Wow,
17:05
Speaker 3: look at the heart of Paul. I know that this
17:09
Speaker 3: after my departure, wolves will come in. Wow. Danger comes
17:15
Speaker 3: from outside and it also comes from inside. False teachers
17:20
Speaker 3: will rise from within. This is a warning. I mean,
17:29
Speaker 3: let this drop in your spirit. Wolves will come from
17:33
Speaker 3: the outside in. Wolves will come from the inside. Not
17:41
Speaker 3: everybody speaking truth is actually from God. So we gotta
17:50
Speaker 3: keep our discernment. Hey man. One encouraging thing that I
17:56
Speaker 3: will say is that when we met these these brothers
18:03
Speaker 3: in Detroit, we were sitting there. My wife was ordering
18:08
Speaker 3: her food. I was at the counter, and one of
18:11
Speaker 3: the guys actually approached me. He asked me about the
18:14
Speaker 3: shoes I was wearing, and so I used that as
18:19
Speaker 3: an open door from God. I began to minister to him,
18:23
Speaker 3: and he said himself, you know what, something drew me
18:26
Speaker 3: to talk to you, like I knew I was supposed
18:30
Speaker 3: to talk to you for a reason. And then the
18:33
Speaker 3: other brother says, you know what, I don't let anybody
18:36
Speaker 3: just pray for me. But there was something about y'all,
18:39
Speaker 3: like we like to meet people who are really living it,
18:42
Speaker 3: like we just met them. They don't know us from Adam,
18:47
Speaker 3: We from all the way from Las Vegas. They in Detroit,
18:51
Speaker 3: and they're telling us that we just want to mess
18:58
Speaker 3: with people who are really living it. Like that was discernment,
19:03
Speaker 3: Like how do they pick like you don't know me,
19:05
Speaker 3: you don't know how I live. But they picked that up.
19:09
Speaker 3: And so God will give us a spirit of discernment.
19:12
Speaker 3: And I'm thankful, you know, I'm thankful that you know
19:18
Speaker 3: I see God. And you know, I definitely want to
19:20
Speaker 3: be I don't want to be a false teacher. I
19:23
Speaker 3: don't want to hear I never knew you depart from
19:26
Speaker 3: me like this ain't no game. I don't want to
19:28
Speaker 3: be up here on a podcast or anywhere else thinking
19:32
Speaker 3: that I'm right when I'm really wrong. You know what
19:36
Speaker 3: I'm saying. So that was encouraging for them to say that.
19:42
Speaker 3: But the truth is wolves are gonna come from outside
19:48
Speaker 3: and from inside the church. The devil can speak truth,
19:54
Speaker 3: he can actually quote scripture. But you have to see
19:58
Speaker 3: the fruit in the message behind it. Amen. You got
20:02
Speaker 3: to see whether or not that pastor or leader is
20:05
Speaker 3: truly walking this out and beloved. I'm not saying I'm perfect,
20:10
Speaker 3: but I am doing my best. My wife and I
20:13
Speaker 3: are family. Amen. All right, verse where we at verse
20:28
Speaker 3: thirty one.
20:29
Speaker 2: You lost another one.
20:36
Speaker 3: Let me say also for my money themselves, men will
20:38
Speaker 3: rise up speaking for first things and all away disciples
20:42
Speaker 3: to themselves. Therefore, watch and remember that for three years
20:47
Speaker 3: I have not ceased to warn of you, one at
20:50
Speaker 3: night and day with years. Man, this is heartbreaking. I
20:58
Speaker 3: imagine Paul's heart was broke when God rebuild this telling.
21:04
Speaker 3: Paul didn't just teach the word of God. He warned
21:07
Speaker 3: with emotion, and he warned them with persistence. He was emotional,
21:15
Speaker 3: he was touched, he loved the people, he loved the
21:19
Speaker 3: flock of God, and he was persistent to warn them
21:24
Speaker 3: about these things. Now, think about the ministry of Jesus Christ.
21:27
Speaker 3: When He warned us about the coming of the end
21:32
Speaker 3: of the age. He said that many will come in
21:35
Speaker 3: my man, receiving people. Many false christ will rise up.
21:41
Speaker 3: And we're seeing this today. We're seeing people out there.
21:45
Speaker 3: People are calling themselves Jesus. And it's gonna get worse.
21:50
Speaker 3: He said. There's gonna be wars, rumors of words, wars, famine, earthquakes, pestilence.
21:59
Speaker 3: We're in the last thing. Jesus warned us about the
22:02
Speaker 3: day and the time. We're limited now. So now I
22:05
Speaker 3: suggest if you are not right with God yet, now
22:09
Speaker 3: is the time to get right. There's no more time
22:12
Speaker 3: to waste a man. But we were warned, be forwarned
22:19
Speaker 3: by the word of God. Now Paul was not. He
22:31
Speaker 3: cared about the people. Real ministry will involve tears. If
22:38
Speaker 3: you really love people, you would love them out of
22:46
Speaker 3: the minster in Are you moved when you see the
22:50
Speaker 3: brokenness of people. When we sat there and we talked
22:55
Speaker 3: to those brothers in Detroit, I felt the struggle. I
23:01
Speaker 3: felt what he was going through, and I poured my
23:04
Speaker 3: heart into him. I poured the word into him. I
23:07
Speaker 3: was trying to encourage him and let him know, Hey,
23:10
Speaker 3: the real battle is on your knees like he said
23:14
Speaker 3: that he's a fighter. Okay, well I'm gonna show you
23:17
Speaker 3: where the real battle is this in your prayer life.
23:21
Speaker 3: And I poured out because I saw, I see, I
23:24
Speaker 3: see it. And he keeps saying, you know, he wants
23:27
Speaker 3: to see people who are doing it for real? And
23:30
Speaker 3: I tell him, will you be that one that does
23:31
Speaker 3: it for real? People need you to see you doing
23:34
Speaker 3: it for real. People are blind, but you can be
23:40
Speaker 3: the one a man is there tears in your ministry.
23:49
Speaker 3: If you don't care about people falling, you are not shepherding.
23:59
Speaker 3: A shepherd picks up the sheep. A shepherd cares for
24:03
Speaker 3: the flock. They're not just there to get a paycheck
24:07
Speaker 3: or to profit for themselves. And man, the Bible calls
24:11
Speaker 3: that a hiring thirty two. So, now, brethren, I commend you.
24:21
Speaker 3: I commend you to God into the word of his grace,
24:26
Speaker 3: which is able to build you up and give you
24:30
Speaker 3: an inheritance among all those who are sanctified. Hallelujah. Now
24:36
Speaker 3: that's the key word, right there, is sanctified sanctification. Now
24:44
Speaker 3: there's one thing to be delivered, but being delivered is
24:48
Speaker 3: not the whole story. We see the Israelites when God
24:53
Speaker 3: brought them out of Egypt. They were delivered from Pharaoh,
24:57
Speaker 3: they were delivered from his army. They saw of God's ends,
25:02
Speaker 3: they saw the Red Sea departing. But yet they were
25:06
Speaker 3: afraid tak your front giants. They did not win to
25:14
Speaker 3: the promised land. They wandered in their willingness for forty years.
25:20
Speaker 3: Because there's a process of being delivered, and then God
25:24
Speaker 3: wants to start the process of sanctification. You need to
25:28
Speaker 3: live that set apart life. You need to conquer the
25:31
Speaker 3: giants in your own life. You need to conquer your
25:35
Speaker 3: own flesh. You need to conquer your own community. Are
25:41
Speaker 3: you taking your promised land and love it? I want
25:45
Speaker 3: to go so far to say that if you're not
25:48
Speaker 3: being sanctified, you might not even be saved. Now, I
25:55
Speaker 3: will leave you to study that out on your own.
25:59
Speaker 2: It looks like along with another one, but I.
26:02
Speaker 3: As convictions, or at least you're like striving the fence,
26:08
Speaker 3: because if you're not set apart for God, that means
26:10
Speaker 3: you're still are living for yourself. Right. Oh, that's a
26:16
Speaker 3: whole nother podcast to break down. But my point is
26:20
Speaker 3: a lot of people do not enter into the process
26:22
Speaker 3: of sactification. They don't change their life. They still want
26:26
Speaker 3: to live their own way, to keep their own habits.
26:33
Speaker 3: But no, sactification is a very important part of the process.
26:46
Speaker 3: That's the point I'm trying to make. And man, it's
26:48
Speaker 3: not a take it or leave it. No, we have
26:51
Speaker 3: to allow God to begin to set us apart and
26:56
Speaker 3: to allow him to start cutting out things off our
27:00
Speaker 3: lives that are not pleasing to you. Amen. So now, brotherren,
27:08
Speaker 3: I continue to God into the word of his race.
27:14
Speaker 3: Now Paul had trusts them to God, and Paul and
27:21
Speaker 3: trusts them to his word, the true source of strength
27:27
Speaker 3: and growth. At the end of the day, it's just
27:35
Speaker 3: God and his Word that will keep you. It's not hype.
27:43
Speaker 3: It's not the trends that we see happening in churches today.
27:47
Speaker 3: It is not the personality of your pastor. It is God.
27:53
Speaker 3: It looks like this word that's going to keep you.
27:57
Speaker 3: It's not this podcast. It's not his hot Nation or
28:01
Speaker 3: mister his hot that's going to keep you. What's going
28:05
Speaker 3: to keep you, beloved, is God in his Word. Hallelujah. Now,
28:22
Speaker 3: this is amazing that Paul said that i 'trust you
28:30
Speaker 3: to God in his word because it reminds me of
28:36
Speaker 3: a dear beloved brother of mine. When I first got saved,
28:41
Speaker 3: we used to evangelize together at the Horseshoe Hotel and Casino.
28:45
Speaker 3: We were both working there and we had our Bibles.
28:50
Speaker 3: He taught me the importance other Word of God. Even
28:53
Speaker 3: though I was a young Christian. This was the first
28:58
Speaker 3: time where this see was planted in my heart to
29:01
Speaker 3: do verse by verse inductive Bible studies. And so I
29:06
Speaker 3: used to love. My heart used to burn every time
29:09
Speaker 3: we would fellowship over the Word, and so people got saved.
29:16
Speaker 3: We saw God move through there, and then we both
29:20
Speaker 3: moved on in life. And then later in life he reconnected.
29:22
Speaker 3: He became a pastor a Cavin Chapel downtown Las Vegas.
29:27
Speaker 3: He started with an outreach and he started a church
29:30
Speaker 3: over there, and then he ended up he was when
29:37
Speaker 3: I first met him. He was a cancer survivor, and
29:40
Speaker 3: I wish he would have written a book man, because
29:43
Speaker 3: his life was dynamic like this man was amazing when
29:50
Speaker 3: it come to his walk with the Lord. So yeah,
29:54
Speaker 3: he was a cancer survivor. I met him. I think
29:59
Speaker 3: he was like twenty seven when I met him, and
30:02
Speaker 3: then he was only he was a young man. He
30:04
Speaker 3: was like thirty four thirty five ish when he was passoring,
30:09
Speaker 3: and this came, this team came back on him, and
30:15
Speaker 3: and so. But this time he was giving his farewell.
30:18
Speaker 3: He was he was getting ready to leave here. You know,
30:21
Speaker 3: he ended up passing away, but I consider him promoted.
30:26
Speaker 3: He got his stripes. I do believe from time and
30:30
Speaker 3: time that I see him in my dreams. Now, I
30:34
Speaker 3: don't want to get too deep or whatever, but that's
30:38
Speaker 3: another podcast. Anyway, before he left, you know, I used
30:46
Speaker 3: to be at his house. You know, I used to
30:49
Speaker 3: pray with them. You know, he was a great musician,
30:52
Speaker 3: he was a worship leader, and he was just examining
30:56
Speaker 3: his life. And you know, he given his last messages
31:01
Speaker 3: basically is farewell. And I remember he was saying that
31:05
Speaker 3: he has to entrust his wife and children to the
31:09
Speaker 3: Lord because he really didn't have anything set up for them.
31:15
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know if he had you need
31:16
Speaker 3: life insurance or you know sometimes in the ministry, you know,
31:20
Speaker 3: you don't draw a pension, right you don't. I mean,
31:25
Speaker 3: I don't know how that works. And so he had
31:30
Speaker 3: to entrust his wife and children to the Lord. And
31:34
Speaker 3: I mean, I've lost touch with the wife and the children,
31:38
Speaker 3: so but I'm pretty sure she did all right. You know,
31:42
Speaker 3: she came from a wealthy family herself, a well to
31:45
Speaker 3: do family. But just this part of Scripture just really
31:52
Speaker 3: pricked my heart. And Paul says, I have to entrust
31:55
Speaker 3: you to the Word and to God. Amen. I can
32:00
Speaker 3: really relate to that, and I can understand that. But
32:04
Speaker 3: to be honest, that's all we can all do. Like
32:07
Speaker 3: we can only entrust our children to the Lord. We
32:10
Speaker 3: can teach them the Word, we can pray over them,
32:14
Speaker 3: and we can hope that they make the right choices
32:17
Speaker 3: in life. But when they go to school or when
32:21
Speaker 3: they go to college, when they step out on their own,
32:25
Speaker 3: we have to entrust them to God. Amen. So this
32:34
Speaker 3: is exactly what Paul is doing. And this ain't the
32:37
Speaker 3: first time he's done it. There's been many times when
32:40
Speaker 3: he would start at church and trust God to continue
32:45
Speaker 3: to work, and he will travel to other areas. In Scripture,
32:49
Speaker 3: we've seen that before in the earlier chapters thirty three
33:01
Speaker 3: thirty five. I have couted no one silver or gold
33:07
Speaker 3: or peril. Yes, you yourselves know that these hands have
33:16
Speaker 3: provided for my necessities and for those who are with me.
33:23
Speaker 3: I've shown you in every way by laboring like this,
33:27
Speaker 3: that you must support the weak. And remember the words
33:32
Speaker 3: of the Lord Jesus that he said it is more
33:36
Speaker 3: blessed to give than to receive. See now the scriptures
33:44
Speaker 3: talk on giving and talk on financials. I want to
33:47
Speaker 3: teach the whole word of God, and there's a blessing
33:50
Speaker 3: and giving. But I know a lot of people distorted it.
33:54
Speaker 3: I know a lot of people say, oh, they just
33:57
Speaker 3: want our money, this and that and the other. But no, beloved,
34:00
Speaker 3: it is way blessed to give than to receive it. Amen,
34:08
Speaker 3: I've coveted no man, silver or gold is more blessed
34:12
Speaker 3: to give than to receive. Paul or Paul dead. And
34:16
Speaker 3: what he's saying right here is that he lived a
34:19
Speaker 3: selfless life, even working to support himself in others, Paul
34:26
Speaker 3: went to work. Now as an apostle, he could have
34:31
Speaker 3: demanded the lavish lifestyle that everyone would give to him,
34:36
Speaker 3: but instead Paul decided to go to work. Paul was
34:42
Speaker 3: not grieving, and Paul did not manipulate his position. Ministry
34:49
Speaker 3: is not about the moon. It's about the people. Let
34:54
Speaker 3: that fall into your spirit. But love it. Let me
34:56
Speaker 3: say that in ministry is not about money, It's about
35:02
Speaker 3: the people. As a matter of fact, I even want
35:07
Speaker 3: to say that the people are the true treasure. Right
35:15
Speaker 3: the people were bossed with the blood of Christ. So
35:24
Speaker 3: how do you think God is going to feel concerning
35:31
Speaker 3: those who treat his treasure? You think that he's going
35:39
Speaker 3: to favor us if we are careful to take care
35:43
Speaker 3: of his treasure, or if we neglect his treasure? How
35:47
Speaker 3: do you think he's gonna feel? And remember, leaders are
35:51
Speaker 3: at a stricter judgment, the stricter accountability before God. Jesus
35:58
Speaker 3: said it is more blessed to give than to receive.
36:06
Speaker 3: The wealthy know this. If you cannot run into a
36:09
Speaker 3: rich person who does not give in some form or fashion,
36:17
Speaker 3: it's a principle that you tap into. If you're struggling financially,
36:24
Speaker 3: it's because you're not giving. You're not entering into that blessing.
36:32
Speaker 3: Find a charity or find something or be a tither
36:35
Speaker 3: and a giver in your church to release those blessings
36:40
Speaker 3: into your finances. And also you can sow onto good
36:45
Speaker 3: ground right here on his hot nation. We'll share that
36:48
Speaker 3: with you a little later, all right, As we close
36:54
Speaker 3: out thirty six and thirty eight. And when he had said,
37:03
Speaker 3: he knelt down and prayed with jimb Then they all
37:08
Speaker 3: wept for me and fell on Paul's came in, sorry
37:15
Speaker 3: most of all for the words which he spoke, that
37:20
Speaker 3: they would see his face no more that they accompanied
37:26
Speaker 3: him to the shift. This was the heart ranching I
37:33
Speaker 3: could feel it. Could you imagine having called the Apostle
37:39
Speaker 3: and your miss and happened happen to say goodbye to him?
37:46
Speaker 3: How emotional that would be, How tough that would be
37:51
Speaker 3: a man. And just like I was saying, you know,
38:00
Speaker 3: I don't know one when the next time I was
38:05
Speaker 3: seeing my family, I feel in my spirits. And I'm
38:12
Speaker 3: not saying, oh, like I'm said, I'm going to pass away.
38:15
Speaker 3: Like you know, tomorrow's not promised. We don't know how
38:19
Speaker 3: much time we have when this earth. But what I'm
38:24
Speaker 3: saying is that Jesus is coming back. We're so close
38:29
Speaker 3: to the rapture it's not even funny, right, people know,
38:35
Speaker 3: people can feel it in the air that Jesus is
38:41
Speaker 3: coming back. Are we ready? Are we ready? This could
38:56
Speaker 3: be the last opportunity that we have had the gospel
39:00
Speaker 3: with our family it's possible that they could see our face,
39:14
Speaker 3: or it could be that they may not have tomorrow.
39:22
Speaker 3: What would your last words be? And when we had
39:28
Speaker 3: said these things, he yelled down and prayed, sorrying most
39:35
Speaker 3: of all for the words which he spoke, that they
39:40
Speaker 3: would see him no more. This was a deeply emotional divide,
39:50
Speaker 3: also marked with prayer, love and union.
39:55
Speaker 2: It looks like another one.
39:56
Speaker 3: That are so powerful. They cried h they embraced him,
40:04
Speaker 3: and they walked him out. They walked with him. This
40:09
Speaker 3: is real relationship, not just church attendance. This was deep
40:20
Speaker 3: and as I speak, and went to go visit our aunt.
40:28
Speaker 3: She's from Chicago, love her dealing, but her son is
40:37
Speaker 3: no longer with us. And her son was like my
40:43
Speaker 3: favorite cousin, like I would look up to him like
40:48
Speaker 3: he was my dude. But he had his battles and
40:52
Speaker 3: struggles in life. And it's been five years now since
40:58
Speaker 3: he passed away, like we will see his face no longer.
41:06
Speaker 3: It would have been nice to have seen him. It
41:12
Speaker 3: would have been nice to have been around him when
41:18
Speaker 3: we went back, but he's no longer on this earth.
41:23
Speaker 3: So that's real, all right, Yeah, I think it's time
41:29
Speaker 3: for a break.
41:31
Speaker 4: You are listening to the light of Las Vegas. This
41:35
Speaker 4: is the his hop radio show.
41:40
Speaker 3: Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the lost. No
41:43
Speaker 3: man could come to the Father, but by him he
41:46
Speaker 3: came to give you life and not life more abundant.
41:52
Speaker 5: He may say, main, let me get a Jesus, let's
41:59
Speaker 5: get it Holy Spirit, lead no tree, yon, but I
42:04

Speaker 3: Because I work at a church, I notice that a
46:09
Speaker 3: lot of my brothers and sisters are struggling with the
46:11
Speaker 3: same scene over and over again. And so I believe
46:16
Speaker 3: what's missing in most parties accountability. Some things are not
46:20
Speaker 3: broken if you don't get a prayer. Sometimes you need
46:25
Speaker 3: their partners, or sometimes you just need correction. You need
46:29
Speaker 3: to want to speak the word into our lives and covers.
46:32
Speaker 3: Chapter twelve tells us that the person who doesn't like
46:36
Speaker 3: correction and instruction see it's like you need star extension,
46:43
Speaker 3: rush the same into rocket truth and then because our
46:48
Speaker 3: hearts will to see us, you know, we can go
