- 3:11Speaker 1: we appreciate y'all everyone for longing in and at this
- 3:15Speaker 1: time let's go before our father, Heavenly Father, we thank
- 3:18Speaker 1: you for another beautiful day. Father God, we ask you,
- 3:21Speaker 1: the Lord, to speak to us in and through your word. Today.
- 3:26Speaker 1: We ask for the Rama word for revelation, insight and understanding.
- 3:30Speaker 1: We asked, Oh God, that we will grab something that
- 3:33Speaker 1: we could and graft in our character, our DNA and
- 3:38Speaker 1: our souls so that we can walk it out, talk
- 3:41Speaker 1: it out, and live it out. We ask that you're
- 3:44Speaker 1: blessed every listener today another sound of my voice, bless
- 3:48Speaker 1: them to hear something, to be encouraged and to overcome.
- 3:55Speaker 1: We asked this in Jesus' name, all right, So we
- 4:03Speaker 1: see Paul in this situation we left off. Paul was
- 4:10Speaker 1: in Jerusalem, he was in the temple. He was observing
- 4:17Speaker 1: some of the Jewish customs, feeling some of the law
- 4:21Speaker 1: of Moses and Israel seeking to remove a fence and
- 4:25Speaker 1: to make peace with this very own people, which ended
- 4:30Speaker 1: up backfiring. They mob him, try to kill him, but
- 4:36Speaker 1: God protected him through the Roman soldiers. And so we
- 4:40Speaker 1: see Paul being taken to the barracks to be questioned.
- 4:46Speaker 1: So they can find out what is going on, why
- 4:50Speaker 1: is his mob reacting to this man this way? And
- 4:53Speaker 1: before so, Paul asked if he could address the crowd.
- 5:00Speaker 1: Paul gives a great testimony, and we went through that
- 5:03Speaker 1: in the last episode. But Paul says a key word
- 5:08Speaker 1: that will turn the situation even worse, and that's where
- 5:14Speaker 1: we pick it up in verse twenty two. And the
- 5:18Speaker 1: word he said was gentile. That was a hot topic
- 5:23Speaker 1: and this was the reason why the Jews wanted to
- 5:27Speaker 1: murder him because of this word. So let's break it
- 5:31Speaker 1: down and let's see what happens next. And verse twenty
- 5:36Speaker 1: two and says they need listen to him and tell
- 5:40Speaker 1: this word was what I just spoke. And they raised
- 5:45Speaker 1: their voices and said, away with such a fellow from
- 5:51Speaker 1: the earth, for he is not fit to live. And
- 5:56Speaker 1: what word is that? If we back it up to
- 5:59Speaker 1: verse twenty, it says, and when the blood of your
- 6:03Speaker 1: martyr Stephen was shed, I also was standing by, consenting
- 6:11Speaker 1: to his death, and guarded the clothes of those who
- 6:14Speaker 1: were killing him. Then he said to me, depart, for
- 6:19Speaker 1: I will send you far from here to the gentiles.
- 6:24Speaker 1: That is the key word right there in verse twenty one.
- 6:28Speaker 1: And I also want to notice how God was always
- 6:32Speaker 1: sending Paul away from Jerusalem. I don't reading a book
- 6:38Speaker 1: of Acts where God said that he was sending him
- 6:42Speaker 1: to Jerusalem. And so my opinion and my thought is
- 6:48Speaker 1: this was Paul's desire to witness and to go to
- 6:52Speaker 1: Jerusalem and minister there. But we see numerous times in
- 6:57Speaker 1: scripture where God says, get away from here, Amen. Because
- 7:03Speaker 1: God's desire was for him to go to the Gentiles.
- 7:07Speaker 1: They consider Paul the apostle of the Gentiles. Now verse
- 7:14Speaker 1: twenty two. I just wanted to give a little background
- 7:18Speaker 1: to this verse. And so when they listened to him
- 7:22Speaker 1: and tell this word, then they raised their voices and said,
- 7:28Speaker 1: away with such a fellow from the earth, for he
- 7:32Speaker 1: is not fit to live. They wanted to murder. This
- 7:35Speaker 1: is the same crowd that confronted Jesus earlier, Amen, the
- 7:41Speaker 1: same spirits, maybe not the same crowd, but the same
- 7:45Speaker 1: spirit that is motivating this crowd Verse twenty three. Then
- 7:50Speaker 1: as they cried out and tore author clothes and through
- 7:55Speaker 1: dust into the air, the commander ordered him to be
- 8:00Speaker 1: brought into the barracks and said that he should be
- 8:04Speaker 1: examined under scourging, so that he might know why they
- 8:10Speaker 1: shouted against him. Now twenty three noticed, It says they
- 8:15Speaker 1: cried out, tore off their clothes and through dust in
- 8:19Speaker 1: the air. This was not just disagreement at this point.
- 8:27Speaker 1: This was not dislike. This was straight outrage. This was rage.
- 8:33Speaker 1: They became a murderous mob once again when they heard
- 8:40Speaker 1: that word, and the word confronted their bias. You see,
- 8:45Speaker 1: Paul was speaking truth, and truth will be offensive. It'll
- 8:52Speaker 1: confront the bias of people, the prejudice of people. It
- 8:58Speaker 1: will confront That's why it's so hard and difficult to
- 9:01Speaker 1: be in ministry. This is why so many ministers compromise
- 9:06Speaker 1: in sugarcoat the word of God. They don't want to
- 9:10Speaker 1: preach truth. They don't want to preach the hard things.
- 9:13Speaker 1: They don't want to preach the things that will confront
- 9:16Speaker 1: our sin and confront the wickedness of the hearts of men.
- 9:22Speaker 1: They want a sugarcoat and make people feel good in
- 9:25Speaker 1: their sin. The Bible calls that a higher lean in
- 9:28Speaker 1: a false prophet, a faithful minister must minister all truth,
- 9:37Speaker 1: no matter how uncomfortable it may be. And look at Paul,
- 9:42Speaker 1: he is one of my heroes in the New Testament.
- 9:47Speaker 1: He does not hold back at all. He's a straight shooter.
- 9:50Speaker 1: And ma'am uh, where do we leave off? I might know? Okay,
- 10:01Speaker 1: So they bring him to the barracks. Now they're getting
- 10:03Speaker 1: ready to scourge Paul, to get a confession out of him.
- 10:07Speaker 1: Why is this crowd reacting this way? And remember, Paul
- 10:10Speaker 1: started speaking into Hebrew, So it's possible that this commander
- 10:15Speaker 1: did not even understand or know what was said because
- 10:22Speaker 1: he spoke Greek, and Paul is speaking in the Hebrew.
- 10:27Speaker 1: And remember Paul can go back and forth. He can
- 10:29Speaker 1: speak Greek and Hebrew as well. And so this scourging
- 10:35Speaker 1: of the Romans was very severe. Some people even died
- 10:39Speaker 1: behind it. They would scourge you. Some people. The scourgeon
- 10:43Speaker 1: was so bad some people ended up confessing, even though
- 10:48Speaker 1: they were innocent, Like you would confess something just to
- 10:53Speaker 1: stop the scourging, and then they could give them a
- 10:57Speaker 1: reason to crucify you, or whatever the charges may be.
- 11:02Speaker 1: And so the commander got to this point twenty five,
- 11:08Speaker 1: and as they bound him with thongs, Paul said to
- 11:13Speaker 1: the centurion who stood by, is it lawful for you
- 11:18Speaker 1: to scourge a man? Who is a Roman and uncondemned.
- 11:23Speaker 1: Now it was against the law. The Romans had a
- 11:27Speaker 1: special protection against unjust punishment. We be a Roman citizen,
- 11:37Speaker 1: and that day was a very privileged thing. And man,
- 11:42Speaker 1: it's like some of the perks we enjoy as Americans
- 11:46Speaker 1: as we travel abroad and things like that. And so
- 11:51Speaker 1: Paul uses wisdom right now, he's been beat before, he's
- 11:59Speaker 1: been scourged before for and I don't know if it's
- 12:03Speaker 1: necessarily that he wanted to get out of it. Me
- 12:07Speaker 1: and myself, I would have wanted to get out of it.
- 12:10Speaker 1: I mean, who enjoys being scourged, especially the way the
- 12:14Speaker 1: Romans did it. But I believe that this was wisdom
- 12:18Speaker 1: and this was protection at this point. Now, when the
- 12:27Speaker 1: centurion heard that, he went and told the commander, saying,
- 12:32Speaker 1: take care what you do, for this man is a Roman.
- 12:37Speaker 1: Then the commander came to him and said to him,
- 12:42Speaker 1: tell me, are you a Roman? And Paul said yes.
- 12:49Speaker 1: The commander answered with a large sum, I obtained this citizenship.
- 12:57Speaker 1: And Paul said, but I was born a citizen and man,
- 13:02Speaker 1: so that is one up on the commander. The commander
- 13:07Speaker 1: had to pay to become a Roman citizen. It doesn't
- 13:12Speaker 1: tell what his background was before that, but he paid
- 13:16Speaker 1: to become that Paul was born, and that gave him
- 13:22Speaker 1: even more of a status. And this shows you right
- 13:25Speaker 1: here that God set up Paul even before his birth.
- 13:30Speaker 1: God orchestrated it to where Paul was born a Roman citizen,
- 13:35Speaker 1: and that was another layer of protection against the Jews
- 13:40Speaker 1: and the persecution that they perpetrated against him. And it
- 13:47Speaker 1: was a protection for Paul to finish his assignment. He
- 13:52Speaker 1: was not finished yet, because it was God's will for
- 13:59Speaker 1: Paul to take that's to fight in Rome, not necessarily Jerusalem.
- 14:05Speaker 1: I said, like once again posting a life chat, if
- 14:09Speaker 1: you see a verse or a scripture in the Book
- 14:12Speaker 1: of Acts of God or the Holy Spirit telling Paul
- 14:20Speaker 1: to go to Jerusalem and to be a witness, I
- 14:25Speaker 1: can't recall it at this time. And so, like I said,
- 14:29Speaker 1: this is my opinion. This is something you know that
- 14:33Speaker 1: I think is interesting that we can search out that
- 14:38Speaker 1: the Holy Spirit always instructed Paul to flee Jerusalem. Now
- 14:45Speaker 1: verse twenty nine. Then immediately those who were about to
- 14:49Speaker 1: examine him withdrew from him, and the commander was also
- 14:55Speaker 1: afraid after he found out that he was a and
- 15:01Speaker 1: because he had bound him. Now there was fear. Look
- 15:06Speaker 1: at how God protected Paul. He was afraid because of
- 15:10Speaker 1: the way he treated him. Now, just imagine one day
- 15:14Speaker 1: when the revelation hits that we are the children of God,
- 15:21Speaker 1: and it's gonna hit every person who's mistreated us, who
- 15:27Speaker 1: has persecuted us, misused us, and how they've treated God's
- 15:33Speaker 1: children when they could be a child of God themselves
- 15:37Speaker 1: but they choose not to. But that doesn't mean you
- 15:42Speaker 1: treat God's children any way you want, amen, And it's
- 15:49Speaker 1: gonna be that same fear and that same reaction verse thirty.
- 15:53Speaker 1: The next day, because it he wanted to know for
- 15:59Speaker 1: certain why he was accused by the Jews, he released
- 16:03Speaker 1: him from his bonds and commanded the chief priests and
- 16:08Speaker 1: all their counsel to appear and brought Paul down and
- 16:12Speaker 1: set him before them. So he is trying to figure
- 16:18Speaker 1: this out. This was like a huge hot potato with
- 16:25Speaker 1: the Roman politicians. As we remember, they did similar when
- 16:32Speaker 1: Jesus was put on trial. It was a similar situation.
- 16:37Speaker 1: They did not know what to do, but they did
- 16:41Speaker 1: not want to condemn an innocent man. All right, Let's
- 16:49Speaker 1: say Chapter twenty three, verse one. Then Paul, looking earnestly
- 17:00Speaker 1: at the council, said, men and brethren, I have lived
- 17:07Speaker 1: in good conscience before God until this day. Now that
- 17:14Speaker 1: you can't read over that too fast, You cannot take
- 17:18Speaker 1: that statement lightly. That was a powerful statement that he
- 17:23Speaker 1: just made, because remember one of the accusations against him
- 17:30Speaker 1: was that he was preaching against the temple, the law
- 17:33Speaker 1: of Moses, and against the people of Israel, and they
- 17:38Speaker 1: felt that he was blaspheming God. And Paul confesses that
- 17:46Speaker 1: he was good, He was in right standing with God.
- 17:49Speaker 1: And that is our goal. We should be able to
- 17:52Speaker 1: say this at the end of every day, that I
- 17:56Speaker 1: am in good standing and have a good conscience towards God,
- 18:01Speaker 1: living a life, know that we have not offended our Father,
- 18:05Speaker 1: knowing that we have pleased him throughout the day. All
- 18:08Speaker 1: I'm asking for is twenty four hours. If you don't
- 18:11Speaker 1: defend him, I mean, if you don't offend him within
- 18:14Speaker 1: twenty four hours, there's a good chance that you'll do
- 18:20Speaker 1: that again the next day, the next, and the next,
- 18:24Speaker 1: and that you can say I have a good conscience.
- 18:27Speaker 1: And this is offensive to a lot of sinners as well.
- 18:31Speaker 1: They desire They desire this, They desire to be in
- 18:35Speaker 1: this position. They just don't know how right. Paul was
- 18:42Speaker 1: comfortable in his own skin, and the high priests and
- 18:47Speaker 1: a Naas commanded those who stood by him to strike
- 18:52Speaker 1: him on the mouth. Now, what would provoke this type
- 18:56Speaker 1: of reaction. All he said was that I'm right with God.
- 19:01Speaker 1: And this is what offends a lot of sinners. This
- 19:06Speaker 1: is what irritates people's demons. Look at how it irritated
- 19:10Speaker 1: the high priest. This man is supposed to be a
- 19:14Speaker 1: holy man. He is supposed to be the leader of
- 19:21Speaker 1: the religious people of the day, and it was against
- 19:26Speaker 1: the law to demand them to do this. And verse three,
- 19:33Speaker 1: this is why Paul reacts his way. And then Paul
- 19:35Speaker 1: says to him, God will strike you, you white washed wall. Now,
- 19:41Speaker 1: let's Paul's there. Where have we heard this term before?
- 19:45Speaker 1: White washed wall? That is biblical. Jesus spoke of the Pharisees,
- 19:56Speaker 1: and it's sad you sees the religious leaders of the day.
- 20:00Speaker 1: And he said that you are like white washed walls.
- 20:05Speaker 1: And this is pertaining to the tombs of the ancient times.
- 20:10Speaker 1: They would wash the walls white, but inside are full
- 20:17Speaker 1: of dead men's bones. And so this is hypocrisy that
- 20:23Speaker 1: is being exposed in the leaders. Paul was exposing hypocrisy
- 20:33Speaker 1: with the High Priest. Alwardly he looked religious, he looked
- 20:37Speaker 1: like he was walking with God. He was in a
- 20:41Speaker 1: position where he was supposed to be close to God.
- 20:44Speaker 1: But inwardly he broke the law. He had no regard
- 20:49Speaker 1: for God in his word. And for you sit to
- 20:54Speaker 1: judge me according to the law, and do you command
- 20:58Speaker 1: me to be struck on charity to the law. So
- 21:06Speaker 1: again he's breaking the law, and he is supposed to
- 21:10Speaker 1: be the very one to enforce the law. That is
- 21:14Speaker 1: how we look as Christians. When we disobey God's word,
- 21:20Speaker 1: we have the authority to enforce it. We have the
- 21:24Speaker 1: authority to enforce the victory that Jesus wrought for us
- 21:29Speaker 1: on the cross. But when we disobey, we lose our influence,
- 21:37Speaker 1: we become hypocrites. Just like this, fake holiness will always
- 21:43Speaker 1: be exposed. Amen. Let me say that again, fake holiness
- 21:49Speaker 1: will always be exposed. People can just pick up on that.
- 21:55Speaker 1: We gotta do all we can stay right Amen. Verse four,
- 22:05Speaker 1: And those who stood by said, do you revile the
- 22:10Speaker 1: High Priest? Then Paul said, I did not know, brethren,
- 22:16Speaker 1: that he was the high priest. For it is written,
- 22:19Speaker 1: you shall not speak evil of a ruler of the
- 22:24Speaker 1: ruler of your people. Now, how many break this command?
- 22:30Speaker 1: Concerning the president of our country? We are not to
- 22:35Speaker 1: speak evil over the ruler of our people. God holds
- 22:39Speaker 1: offices of authority in high honor. Be careful when you
- 22:45Speaker 1: want to speak against our parents, our teachers, those who
- 22:49Speaker 1: are in positions and authority over us. God commands not
- 22:54Speaker 1: to do so. Now, this is humility on the part
- 22:57Speaker 1: of Paul the apostle, even though he was right, even
- 23:01Speaker 1: though he was calling out the hypocrisy, he still chooses
- 23:07Speaker 1: to submit to God, his word and his commandment. And sometimes, Beloved,
- 23:13Speaker 1: we can be in situations instead of arguing the point,
- 23:18Speaker 1: instead of keeping a contention going, instead of just trying
- 23:22Speaker 1: to win your point, So win your argument, it's good
- 23:28Speaker 1: sometimes just to apologize. I mean, as long as it's
- 23:32Speaker 1: not compromising the truth or anything like that. Why keep
- 23:36Speaker 1: a contention going, Just apologize that, you know what. I
- 23:40Speaker 1: don't want this to get worse. I don't want to
- 23:43Speaker 1: have an issue. I apologize for my part. Maybe I
- 23:47Speaker 1: do have a valid point, but I have to figure
- 23:49Speaker 1: out how to bring it in a more excellent way.
- 23:56Speaker 1: This is just being humble. We don't have to win
- 23:59Speaker 1: every argument, even though we're right. The Bible says that
- 24:04Speaker 1: those who cease from contention are honored in the kingdom
- 24:08Speaker 1: ma'am verse six. But when Paul perceived that one part
- 24:16Speaker 1: were Sadducees and the other Pharisees, he cried out in
- 24:21Speaker 1: the council, men and brethren, I am a Pharisee, the
- 24:27Speaker 1: son of a Pharisee. Concerning the hope and resurrection of
- 24:32Speaker 1: the dead, I am being judged. Now look at Paul's
- 24:38Speaker 1: wisdom here. Paul knew how to win the crowd, how
- 24:41Speaker 1: to read the crowd, I mean and man. Paul perceived
- 24:46Speaker 1: that he could get a group that will stand with
- 24:53Speaker 1: him and be on his side, and he knew how
- 24:59Speaker 1: to work situation. And this is another form another layer
- 25:05Speaker 1: of God will set us up to protect us until
- 25:12Speaker 1: our assignment is complete Amen verse seven. And when he
- 25:18Speaker 1: had said this and this, a dissension rose between the
- 25:23Speaker 1: Pharisees and Sadducees, and the assembly was divided. For Sadducees
- 25:30Speaker 1: say that there is no resurrection and no angel or
- 25:35Speaker 1: spirit but the Pharisee confesses both. Then there arose a
- 25:43Speaker 1: loud outcry and describes, and the Pharisees partly arose in protests, saying,
- 25:50Speaker 1: we find no evil in this man. But if a
- 25:54Speaker 1: spirit or an angel has spoken to him, let us
- 25:58Speaker 1: not fight against God. Look at God's protection and look
- 26:03Speaker 1: at the wisdom of Paul. Right here. There's nothing wrong
- 26:09Speaker 1: with working a situation in your favor when it comes
- 26:16Speaker 1: to how to minister, and even when you're faced with
- 26:21Speaker 1: opposition in your face in a heated situation. Amen, Paul
- 26:29Speaker 1: knew how to connect with people. Paul knew how to
- 26:35Speaker 1: get things going in a better direction than what is
- 26:42Speaker 1: presented before him. Amen. And like I said, Paul is
- 26:48Speaker 1: one of my heroes in the Bible. I've heard teachers
- 26:53Speaker 1: that try to discredit Paul in the writings that he
- 26:57Speaker 1: has written in the New Testament, and I think that
- 27:01Speaker 1: they can't even stand one inch against the apostle, a
- 27:08Speaker 1: man I would defend the apostles in the Word of God.
- 27:17Speaker 1: Don't let some false teacher, of whoever it is, come
- 27:21Speaker 1: and discredit the foundation that God has given us to
- 27:26Speaker 1: the Word, the prophets, the apostles, the doctrine in this
- 27:33Speaker 1: Bible that God has delivered unto us need to protect

- 32:05Speaker 6: You are listening to the light of Las Vegas. This
- 32:09Speaker 6: is the his hop radio shows.
- 32:28Speaker 1: All right, we are back from the break. It's your
- 32:30Speaker 1: boy missing his hop and you are listening to his
- 32:33Speaker 1: high radio show. We are in the Book of Acts.
- 32:38Speaker 1: That's where this is where Paul is defending himself. This
- 32:44Speaker 1: is something that we really didn't see in the trial
- 32:48Speaker 1: of Jesus Christ. He did not necessarily defend himself. He
- 32:53Speaker 1: was quiet most of the times. They had to instruct
- 32:56Speaker 1: him to respond in a certain situations, and when Jesus responded,
- 33:03Speaker 1: he shared the truth. Paul is also sharing the truth,
- 33:08Speaker 1: but he's also working the crowd. And Paul is a
- 33:13Speaker 1: man of wisdom, courage, and faith, one of my heroes
- 33:19Speaker 1: in the New Testing. Amen, now it's time for the
- 33:25Speaker 1: accountability Partner segment. This segment came about ministering to people
- 33:32Speaker 1: and noticing our brothers and sisters. They are struggling with
- 33:36Speaker 1: the same sin they struggled with for years. Some of
- 33:40Speaker 1: us we got to learn how to defeat our deaners.
- 33:42Speaker 1: It comes with a choice. We have to decide when
- 33:46Speaker 1: enough is enough. We have to make the decision that
- 33:49Speaker 1: we're not gonna play with the grace of God any longer.
- 33:54Speaker 1: We're not gonna be double minded. We're not gonna love
- 33:58Speaker 1: our sin more than we love God, and we're not
- 34:00Speaker 1: going to love our sin at all. As a matter
- 34:02Speaker 1: of fact, God instructs us to hate sin. Amen, and
- 34:10Speaker 1: God will do this in us once we repent and
- 34:15Speaker 1: ask God for forgiveness. God doesn't just remove sin. He
- 34:20Speaker 1: will create in us a new heart in us. Amen.
- 34:26Speaker 1: If we ask him to songs fifty one creating me
- 34:30Speaker 1: a clean heart a man. That's a beautiful prayer we
- 34:33Speaker 1: need to add to our list. And also it helps
- 34:36Speaker 1: to have an accountability partner, someone who can speak into
- 34:40Speaker 1: your life, someone who can correct you, someone who can
- 34:43Speaker 1: agree with you in prayer. Amen. And so that's what
- 34:47Speaker 1: we promote today. That is the disciplishment process. Having a mentor.
- 34:54Speaker 1: We all need a mentor, and we all need a mentee.
- 34:57Speaker 1: We need someone that can pour into us, and then
- 35:00Speaker 1: we need someone that we are pouring into. It is
- 35:04Speaker 1: a healthy place to be in the body of Christ.
- 35:07Speaker 1: It's a healthy flow. Amen. And also we give out
- 35:13Speaker 1: daily challenges in a life chat. So I hit on

- 36:08Speaker 1: that's a self reflecting question. And I'm gonna tell you
- 36:12Speaker 1: a secret, ask for God's grace. If you can't do
- 36:15Speaker 1: it now, don't be discouraged. And we cannot, all of
- 36:19Speaker 1: us fail. But God's grace gives us the power. So
- 36:24Speaker 1: we ask God give us the power to stand in
- 36:26Speaker 1: truth even when people turn against me. Amen. And it says,
- 36:33Speaker 1: don't compromise truth just to be accepted. Amen. That's a
- 36:38Speaker 1: T shirt right there. Don't compromise truth just to be accepted. Hallelujah.
