1:55
Speaker 1: up and acts chapter three. Actually, excuse me. We're in
2:01
Speaker 1: chapter four and we're gonna pick it up in verse
2:04
Speaker 1: store thirteen. Now, in our last episode, Peter boldly declared
2:10
Speaker 1: that salvation is found in no other name but the
2:15
Speaker 1: name Christ Jesus. Now, the pressure increases, but so does
2:23
Speaker 1: the courage. The courage and the boldness of the apostles
2:27
Speaker 1: increase also so acts. Chapter four is a masterclass in
2:35
Speaker 1: Holy Spirit boldness. And I believe that we need that
2:40
Speaker 1: we need that Holy Spirit boldness now more than ever
2:45
Speaker 1: as the Body of Christ, as the pressure increases in
2:51
Speaker 1: our country, as persecution is on the horizon. But do
2:57
Speaker 1: not fear, Do not fret, Do not be afraid, because
3:02
Speaker 1: persecution only strengthens the Church, it does not weaken, and
3:08
Speaker 1: the enemy knows it. The enemy would rather join the
3:12
Speaker 1: church and corrupt us from within, but he knows outside
3:16
Speaker 1: persecution will only strengthen us. Amen, So stay in the spirit,
3:23
Speaker 1: stay bold, stay courage, stay witness scene for Christ. We
3:27
Speaker 1: need to win as many people as possible, So make
3:32
Speaker 1: sure you share this podcast to as many people as
3:36
Speaker 1: you can. And I want to say what's up to
3:39
Speaker 1: the crew in a live chat? What's up to our
3:41
Speaker 1: brother's Zone three? Our brother could rent So what's up
3:45
Speaker 1: to our our Rabbi Ron Arnold, who has popped in
3:50
Speaker 1: there to say hello, and everyone else who stopped through.
3:53
Speaker 1: We appreciate y'all. If you are listening, meet us at
3:56
Speaker 1: eleven am specific standard time so you can say hello
4:01
Speaker 1: and meet us in there. I'll be in there and
4:03
Speaker 1: mister his hop at that time to meet everyone to
4:07
Speaker 1: love each other, to hold each other accountable, to pray
4:11
Speaker 1: for each other, and to fellowship and connect. Right, this
4:16
Speaker 1: is your small group on the radio station. So that
4:22
Speaker 1: being said, let's go before Father. Evenly, Father, we thank you,
4:25
Speaker 1: Father God for yet another day. Father. We asked that
4:28
Speaker 1: you open up the word. We asked that we will
4:30
Speaker 1: feast on your word, Father God, that your word will
4:33
Speaker 1: be our nourishment on today. Yes, Father God, we ask
4:37
Speaker 1: Father God, oh Lord, that you will take us, Father God,
4:41
Speaker 1: O Lord, from fear to fire in the holy spirit, Father,
4:47
Speaker 1: from timidity to boldness. Father God, we asked, o God,
4:50
Speaker 1: that you equipped us for these last days. God, give
4:53
Speaker 1: us a last day of anointing, a double portion of
4:56
Speaker 1: your spirit. Father that was open up our hearts and mind.
5:01
Speaker 1: And we asked this in Jesus's mighty name. Amen. All right,
5:11
Speaker 1: so we are in chapter four.
5:15
Speaker 2: It looks like you lost another one.
5:18
Speaker 1: As I said a minute ago, Peter just got done
5:23
Speaker 1: proclaiming that there is no other name under heaven by
5:27
Speaker 1: which we must be saved except the name Christ Jesus.
5:31
Speaker 1: Now we're talking about the boldness and the courage that
5:39
Speaker 1: Peter now has. He's a totally different person than he
5:43
Speaker 1: was in the gospel. Right. This is very encouraging. That
5:49
Speaker 1: means God can change us as well. If you've been
5:53
Speaker 1: touched by the Holy Spirit, you will never be the same. Hallelujah.
6:01
Speaker 1: So it's speaking up in verse thirteen, and it says, now,
6:04
Speaker 1: when they saw the boldness of Peter and John and
6:08
Speaker 1: perceived that they were uneducated in untrained men, they marveled.
6:18
Speaker 1: They realized that they had been with Jesus. All right,
6:23
Speaker 1: let's stop right there real quick. The boldness is the
6:29
Speaker 1: first mark of being filled with the Spirit. Amen. It's
6:35
Speaker 1: not education, not status or religious training. It's the boldness
6:45
Speaker 1: that is supplied by the Holy Spirit. You don't need
6:48
Speaker 1: a degree to have authority. You just need time with Jesus. Hallelujah.
6:56
Speaker 1: You just need to spend time with the Lord, and
7:00
Speaker 1: that authority will come through Amen, verse fourteen, and seeing
7:08
Speaker 1: the man who had been healed standing with them, they
7:12
Speaker 1: could say nothing against it. Wow, that's living proof right there, right,
7:19
Speaker 1: the evidence was undeniable. Now the healed man was the proof.
7:27
Speaker 1: The council could not silence. They could not silence the
7:31
Speaker 1: fact that there's a man who's healed, that there was
7:34
Speaker 1: a miracle that was done in the midst of them.
7:40
Speaker 1: A transformed life shuts down every single argument, every transformed life,
7:48
Speaker 1: every testimony is proof of the risen resurrected savior. Amen.
8:01
Speaker 1: But when they had commanded them to go aside out
8:06
Speaker 1: of the council, they conferred amongst themselves, saying, what shall
8:13
Speaker 1: we do to these men? For indeed that a notable
8:19
Speaker 1: miracle has been done through them is evident to all
8:25
Speaker 1: who dwelled in Jerusalem, and we cannot deny it. And man,
8:31
Speaker 1: look at them, they're trying to figure out how to
8:33
Speaker 1: work the lie right, how to deny it. They couldn't.
8:37
Speaker 1: What shall we do, for notable miracle has been done
8:41
Speaker 1: and we cannot deny it? You see, the leaders admitted
8:48
Speaker 1: the truth, but rejected it because accepting it would cost
8:54
Speaker 1: them their power, it would cost them their status, it
8:58
Speaker 1: would cost them their position and their authority. Right, some
9:05
Speaker 1: people don't have the truth. Some people don't have a
9:12
Speaker 1: truth problem, they have a control problem. It's not that
9:21
Speaker 1: they don't believe. They can't deny the fact that this
9:24
Speaker 1: is truthful. They'll lose their status and their control. Man, Now,
9:43
Speaker 1: they knew that they were going to lose their status
9:53
Speaker 1: in verse sixteen, saying what shall we do to these men?
9:57
Speaker 1: For indeed, that a notable miracle has been done through
10:01
Speaker 1: them is evident to all who dwelt in Jerusalem, and
10:06
Speaker 1: it cannot be denied. Verse seventeen, it says, but so
10:12
Speaker 1: that it spread no further among the people, let us
10:15
Speaker 1: severely threaten them that from now on they speak to
10:21
Speaker 1: no man in this name. Now they said that they
10:26
Speaker 1: were gonna severely threaten them. Now, the strategy was not punishment,
10:38
Speaker 1: It was intimidation. They felt they had the power to
10:42
Speaker 1: intimidate them. Amen, A true son or daughter of God
10:50
Speaker 1: will not be intimidated. The enemy's number one tactic is fear,
10:57
Speaker 1: because fear stops more Christians then sin ever will. Should
11:05
Speaker 1: I say that again, fear will stop more Christians than
11:11
Speaker 1: sin ever will. Amen, We cannot allow the enemy to
11:20
Speaker 1: intimidate us. And I would have to say that early
11:25
Speaker 1: in my ministry, I was intimidated another one by the enemy.
11:32
Speaker 1: In my music ministry, they stopped to me for a
11:36
Speaker 1: very long time. Fear can hinder, fear can paralyze us.
11:43
Speaker 1: Just think about the story of David and Goliath. How
11:47
Speaker 1: King Saul and the whole army of Israel was afraid
11:50
Speaker 1: of this man. The whole army was paralyzed. It took
11:54
Speaker 1: one shepherd boy to show courage, to show faith and
11:59
Speaker 1: boldness to set them free from that bondage of fear.
12:04
Speaker 1: Fear will stop us quicker than anything else Verse eighteen.
12:15
Speaker 1: So they called them and commanded them not to speak
12:19
Speaker 1: at all nor teach in the name of Jesus.
12:24
Speaker 2: Looks like you lost another one.
12:26
Speaker 1: Now, they commanded them. So they called and commanded them
12:30
Speaker 1: not to speak at all or teach in his name.
12:32
Speaker 1: This was a direct attempt to silence the gospel, to
12:39
Speaker 1: intimidate them, to stop it in this cradle. Now, our
12:45
Speaker 1: culture still tries this day just talk about positivity or
12:53
Speaker 1: spirituality or morals, but don't mention Jesus, and especially don't
12:59
Speaker 1: mintion the cross and the resurrection of Christ. Right they're
13:07
Speaker 1: okay with that, with positive being positive, but they're not
13:13
Speaker 1: okay with our risen Lord. All right, let's say nineteen
13:20
Speaker 1: and twenty. But Peter and John answered and said to them,
13:28
Speaker 1: whether it's right on the sight of God to listen
13:31
Speaker 1: to you more than God you judge, for we cannot
13:36
Speaker 1: but speak the things which we have seen and heard. Amen, hallelujah.
13:44
Speaker 1: Look at that bold reply in the midst of intimidation.
13:53
Speaker 1: Their loyalty to God outweighed fear of consequences. Let me
13:59
Speaker 1: say that again, their loyalty to God outweighed the fear
14:06
Speaker 1: of the consequences of these men. It's either obedience or intimidation.
14:13
Speaker 1: There's no middle ground, there's no neutral. When you have
14:21
Speaker 1: truly encounter Jesus, silence is just way too impossible. There's
14:31
Speaker 1: no way that you can stay silent. They man acts
14:40
Speaker 1: twenty one. So then they had further threatened them, They
14:46
Speaker 1: let them go, finding no way of punishing them because
14:51
Speaker 1: of the people, since they all glorified God for what
14:56
Speaker 1: had been done. So they had no choice but to
15:03
Speaker 1: let them go. Now the council feared the people more
15:11
Speaker 1: than they feared God. A man standing right there made
15:17
Speaker 1: it impossible to punish them. The miracle the evidence of
15:22
Speaker 1: God's power working in the midst of them. Amen. Public
15:26
Speaker 1: opinion protected them, But God was the one directing it. Amen.
15:35
Speaker 1: God was the one leading it. It looks like you
15:40
Speaker 1: lost another one Verse twenty two. For the man was
15:49
Speaker 1: over forty years old, on whom this miracle of healing
15:54
Speaker 1: had been performed. Amen, he was over forty years old.
16:07
Speaker 1: A forty year old crippled man suddenly walking. It is
16:13
Speaker 1: for one undeniable. Two it's unexplainable. Three it is unstoppable. Hallelujah.
16:24
Speaker 1: Nothing can stop the glory. Bigger the miracle, the greater
16:34
Speaker 1: the testimony. Amen. The bigger the miracle, the bigger the work,
16:42
Speaker 1: the bigger the obstacle. Greater is the testimony. Hallelujah. A man,
16:53
Speaker 1: God is so good. All right, Let's take us a
16:56
Speaker 1: music break right here. I'll be right back, y'allah. You
17:01
Speaker 1: are listening to the light of Las Vegas. This is
17:04

17:22
Speaker 2: was a lad of seeing shore, not living to a
17:25
Speaker 2: not living the message. I speaking counting pressure. I've been
17:28
Speaker 2: giving it pressure type mcdumb. It's type progression. He had
17:32
Speaker 2: to learn that likes about perceptions, faith effect the way
17:34
Speaker 2: that you perceive it. Every long way you meant to
17:36
Speaker 2: keep you down, and every time you meant to keep
17:38
Speaker 2: peeking up. I would questioning him, like God, what.
17:40
Speaker 1: Type of creed?
17:41
Speaker 2: Just I couldn't beat it. He showed me how to
17:43
Speaker 2: defeat a believer before.
17:44
Speaker 3: I can see it through the hood tones when I
17:46
Speaker 3: come see you can't for me. It's the pillowett put

Speaker 2: way say thinking better these days the pats don't passed
18:15
Speaker 2: away ducking, dodging no problems. Now pray, don't dunk no

Speaker 2: to him, put it out of steak. Didn't word to
18:23
Speaker 2: me when he give me blessing or blessing. When he
18:24

18:57
Speaker 3: Through the winds and the trous, you'll me down down.
19:40
Speaker 1: All right, all right, we are back. And that is
19:43
Speaker 1: our sister childlike CC hold me down right here live
19:48
Speaker 1: on his hot radio for the music break on the podcast.
19:54
Speaker 1: And that was time for the accountability of Partners segments,
19:59
Speaker 1: this seig it was birth. As I was working to
20:03
Speaker 1: altar at church, and I noticed that there's a lot
20:07
Speaker 1: of people still struggling with the same sin they struggled
20:11
Speaker 1: with years ago. And some of us we don't truly repent,
20:17
Speaker 1: We don't truly renew our minds in Christ. We don't
20:19
Speaker 1: know how to deny our flesh. We don't know how
20:23
Speaker 1: to deny our thoughts. We just let thoughts run rampant
20:27
Speaker 1: desires went out of control. We allow our hearts to
20:31
Speaker 1: be captivated by sin. Basically, basically, what we're doing is
20:36
Speaker 1: we're loving our sin more than we love God. And
20:41
Speaker 1: there's a lot of Christians who think that they're okay,
20:47
Speaker 1: that they're gonna make it. The Galatians breaks it down
20:53
Speaker 1: that if you practice the works of the flesh, you
20:56
Speaker 1: shall not inherit the Kingdom of God. That would be
21:00
Speaker 1: a great study, a great podcast, a great way to
21:05
Speaker 1: break down the word. Amen. Hollo lujah, I'm actually gonna
21:10
Speaker 1: do a segment on that the works of the flesh
21:16
Speaker 1: just qualifications to enter into the kingdom. That is one
21:21
Speaker 1: promise we cannot ignore our Amen. Yeah, we like the
21:25
Speaker 1: good promises, but the promises that you will not enter
21:31
Speaker 1: the kingdom are just as important. So let's take a study.
21:35
Speaker 1: Let's look at that. And that's one of the reasons
21:38
Speaker 1: why we hold each other accountable. That's one of the
21:40
Speaker 1: reasons why we meet up in the life chat so
21:43
Speaker 1: that we could stay on that nearrow path together. Right. So,
21:49
Speaker 1: if you want that help, you want that assistance, go
