4:16
Speaker 2: that every year that is intended to hear this podcast

Speaker 2: will hear it and join us in the life chat.
4:23
Speaker 2: Let this be a movement. Let this be a revival,
4:27
Speaker 2: Old God, right here on the radio station. We thank you,
4:33
Speaker 2: we love you, we exalt you in the mighty name
4:39
Speaker 2: of Jesus. Amen, hallelujah. The Lord is going to open
4:47
Speaker 2: our eyes today, not just in the physical but in
4:51
Speaker 2: the spiritual as well. Help us to see what you're
4:56
Speaker 2: doing even when we don't understand, and everything in Jesus' name, hallelujah.
5:04
Speaker 2: All right, all right, okay, So we're gonna take the
5:09
Speaker 2: first three verses in chapter nine, and as a backdrop,
5:16
Speaker 2: remember Jesus was having a confrontation and discussion with the
5:23
Speaker 2: religious leaders, the Pharisees and Sadducees, and he told them
5:27
Speaker 2: straight out that I am right, I am that I
5:31
Speaker 2: am that is the name of God. And they picked
5:36
Speaker 2: up stones ready to kill him. They understood exactly what
5:41
Speaker 2: he said. So he made his way through the crowd.
5:47
Speaker 2: And so here's another instance right here where Jesus is
5:55
Speaker 2: gonna fall under some controversy. The man that was born
6:00
Speaker 2: blind receive his sight. So firse one. Now, as Jesus
6:11
Speaker 2: passed by, he saw a man who was blind from birth,
6:17
Speaker 2: and his disciples asked him, saying, Rabbi, who's sin this
6:22
Speaker 2: man or his parents that he was born blind? Jesus answered,
6:29
Speaker 2: neither this man nor his parents sin, but that the
6:32
Speaker 2: works of God should be revealed in him. Heymen, okay,
6:41
Speaker 2: well let's break that down real quick. Now, back in
6:47
Speaker 2: those days, many assume sickness and disability was always a
6:52
Speaker 2: result of sin. Now for this man to be born
6:57
Speaker 2: this way, that means he would have had to have
7:01
Speaker 2: before he was born. Right, because the question was who's
7:07
Speaker 2: sin this man or his parents? Jesus corrected that mindset.
7:17
Speaker 2: Sometimes God allows suffering so that his glory can be revealed. Now,
7:24
Speaker 2: this verse hit is kind of deep.
7:26
Speaker 3: Right.
7:27
Speaker 2: We often ask why me when life hurts, But sometimes
7:33
Speaker 2: the better question is what is God revealing through this?
7:39
Speaker 2: Jesus didn't focus on the blame. He focused on the purpose.
7:45
Speaker 2: Remember that, I'm gonna repeat that. Jesus didn't focus on
7:49
Speaker 2: the blame. He focused on the purpose. Now, the Greek
7:54
Speaker 2: word for revealed it is is I'm much. Spell it
8:02
Speaker 2: out p h A n E r O panaro. Believe
8:13
Speaker 2: that's how you pronounce it. It means to make visible
8:16
Speaker 2: or clear. God uses our pain as a platform to
8:22
Speaker 2: show his power. Amen, I've heard it said before. Man's
8:29
Speaker 2: extremities is God's opportunities. All right, we're gonna go from
8:37
Speaker 2: four all the way to seven. I must work the
8:42
Speaker 2: works of him who sent me while it is day.
8:46
Speaker 2: The night is coming when no one can work. As
8:50
Speaker 2: long as I am in the world. I am the
8:53
Speaker 2: light of the world. When he had said these things,
9:00
Speaker 2: he spat on the ground and made clay with saliva,
9:05
Speaker 2: and he anointed the eyes of the blind man with
9:09
Speaker 2: the clay. And he said to him, go wash in
9:16
Speaker 2: a pool asylum, which is translated scent. So he went
9:23
Speaker 2: and washed and came back seeing hallelujah. He went, he washed,
9:32
Speaker 2: and he came back with his sight. That was a
9:37
Speaker 2: marvelous miracle. Lost another one. I know some people in
9:42
Speaker 2: church sometimes they play, you know, they're like, you know,
9:44
Speaker 2: let me spit and make some clay. And there was
9:50
Speaker 2: a pastor that did something similar to this. He spat
9:55
Speaker 2: on one of his congregants, trying to make a point
10:00
Speaker 2: in one of his messages. But let's get into it.
10:06
Speaker 2: Jesus he healed in an unusual way to show his
10:12
Speaker 2: authority wasn't tied to a formula, but it's tied to
10:18
Speaker 2: divine power. The act of speeding in clay in sending
10:23
Speaker 2: him to asylum, the poor sin was symbolic. Jesus himself
10:29
Speaker 2: was sent from the Father to bring us the light.
10:34
Speaker 2: Amen now the man. He obeyed, even when the method
10:39
Speaker 2: seemed kind of strange.
10:40
Speaker 3: Right.
10:42
Speaker 2: Sometimes God's instructions don't make sense, but they lead to
10:48
Speaker 2: a breakthrough. Let me say that again. Sometimes we may
10:51
Speaker 2: not know what God is doing, but if we only obey,
10:57
Speaker 2: it will lead us to that breakthrough. You're healing is
11:02
Speaker 2: often connected to your obedience. Hallelujah. You're healing.
11:10
Speaker 1: Is often.
11:12
Speaker 2: Connected to your obedience. Amen. Therefore the neighbors where am
11:32
Speaker 2: I hold on? Came back saying, okay. Therefore the neighbors
11:37
Speaker 2: and those who previously had seen that it was said
11:47
Speaker 2: that it was blind. Okay, when we were this again,
11:50
Speaker 2: Therefore the neighbors and those who physically had seen that
11:54
Speaker 2: he was blind? Said, is not this he who sat
11:59
Speaker 2: in bed? Some said this is he? Others said he is?
12:06
Speaker 2: He looks like him. He said, I am he. Therefore
12:12
Speaker 2: they said to him, how were your eyes open? He answered,
12:18
Speaker 2: and said, a man called Jesus may clay and anointed
12:22
Speaker 2: my eyes and said to me go to the pool
12:27
Speaker 2: of Salem and wash. So I went and washed, and
12:35
Speaker 2: I received a sight. Hallelujah, a mighty miracle of the Lord.
12:41
Speaker 2: Then they said to him, where is he? He said,
12:46
Speaker 2: I don't know. Verse thirteen. They saw him who formally
12:53
Speaker 2: was blind. They brought him, who formally was blind, to
13:00
Speaker 2: the pharisees. Now it was a sabbath sabbath when Jesus
13:10
Speaker 2: made the clay and opened his eyes. Here you go,
13:12
Speaker 2: another miracle on the sabbath. Then the Pharisees also asked
13:17
Speaker 2: him again how he had received his sight. He said,
13:24
Speaker 2: to them. He put clay on my eyes and I
13:28
Speaker 2: was washed. And I see now they didn't rejoice over
13:34
Speaker 2: the fact that man was made whole. They're upset because
13:40
Speaker 2: it was done on the Sabbath? How blind can religious?
13:45
Speaker 2: Can religion make us like we have no HeartWare is
13:49
Speaker 2: our humanity? Verse sixteen. Therefore some of the Pharisees said,
13:56
Speaker 2: this man is not from God because he does not
14:01
Speaker 2: keep Sabbath. Others said, how can a man who is
14:07
Speaker 2: a sinner do such things? And there was a division
14:13
Speaker 2: amongst them. Remember I said that in our previous podcast
14:19
Speaker 2: that Jesus intentionally will cause division. There is a separation
14:27
Speaker 2: from belief and unbelief. We have to make sure our
14:31
Speaker 2: belief is strong. We can see by our lifestyle and
14:35
Speaker 2: our actions. Do we trust God? Do we trust God
14:39
Speaker 2: in our finances? If we did, we would pay our tithes,
14:42
Speaker 2: we would give offering, we would be generous, and we
14:46
Speaker 2: would be obedient. Do we trust God in our marriages?
14:50
Speaker 2: If so, women would submit to their husbands and respect them,
14:55
Speaker 2: and husbands would love their wives. As Christ of the church,
15:01
Speaker 2: there is trust and submission and surrender that is connected
15:08
Speaker 2: to our belief, and God will help us there's help
15:13
Speaker 2: today in this podcast, in the areas where we struggle.
15:18
Speaker 2: As they say, I believe help my unbelief. Amen. Now,
15:24
Speaker 2: how can a man who is a sinner do such signs?
15:28
Speaker 2: And there was a division amongst them. They said to
15:31
Speaker 2: the blind man, what do you say about him? Because
15:34
Speaker 2: he opened your eyes? He said, he is a prophet. Now,
15:42
Speaker 2: at least I can say one thing. At least they're investigating.
15:46
Speaker 2: At least they gave this man a chance to talk.
15:50
Speaker 2: I've been in situations where people will talk behind your back.
15:54
Speaker 2: They will gossip, they will whisper, they will say things.
15:59
Speaker 2: They won't give you a chance to talk or explain.
16:03
Speaker 2: They'll just make up things. They'll just say, oh, yeah,
16:05
Speaker 2: you know you so desperately you want to go do this?
16:10
Speaker 2: And they he didn't even ask you about it, like
16:13
Speaker 2: they're just making assumptions even though they're off. At least
16:17
Speaker 2: they get his man a chance to speak. He said
16:19
Speaker 2: he's a prophet. But the Jews did not believe concerning
16:24
Speaker 2: him that he had been blind and received his sight. Now,
16:30
Speaker 2: they thought it was something made up, you know what
16:33
Speaker 2: I mean. They thought it was how many times have
16:35
Speaker 2: you heard about these pastors who had somebody in the
16:39
Speaker 2: crowd with the wheelchair, and they get up proclaiming that
16:44
Speaker 2: they're healed. But to find out later it was some
16:47
Speaker 2: type of scam, right, some type of comment, and this
16:50
Speaker 2: is what they thought. They thought this guy was a
16:52
Speaker 2: prop right, that Jesus was faking in miracles. But at
17:00
Speaker 2: least to their credit, they investigated until they called the
17:08
Speaker 2: parents of him who had received his sight. So they
17:13
Speaker 2: called his parents so they could testify, and they asked him, saying,
17:19
Speaker 2: is this your son who you say was born blind?
17:24
Speaker 2: How then does he now see verse twenty His parents
17:32
Speaker 2: answered them and said, we know that this is our
17:36
Speaker 2: son and that he was born blind, but by what
17:42
Speaker 2: means he now sees, we do not know. Or who
17:49
Speaker 2: opened his eyes, we do not know. So his parents
17:53
Speaker 2: weren't there, but they confirmed that this is their son
17:56
Speaker 2: that was blind. And then they said, he is of
17:59
Speaker 2: a ask him, he will speak for himself. I love him.
18:06
Speaker 2: When the Bible gives commentary on the Bible, right, John
18:10
Speaker 2: gives us a commentary in verse twenty two. His parents
18:13
Speaker 2: said these things because they fear the Jews, for the
18:19
Speaker 2: Jews had agreed already that if anyone confesses that he
18:25
Speaker 2: was Christ, he would be put out of the synagogue.
18:32
Speaker 2: Now they didn't want to get put out of their synagogue,
18:34
Speaker 2: so they're like, huh, talk to my son. He can
18:37
Speaker 2: speak for himself. Therefore, his parents said, he is of age.
18:42
Speaker 2: Ask him. So they again call the man who was blind,
18:49
Speaker 2: and said to him, give God the glory. We know
18:53
Speaker 2: that this man is a sinner. Now this goes back
18:59
Speaker 2: to their thoughts, right. Remember in this chapter, the disciples
19:04
Speaker 2: thought that this man had to have been born in sin,
19:08
Speaker 2: either himself or his parents. And so when you really
19:14
Speaker 2: think about it, that means before he was born, when
19:17
Speaker 2: he was in his mother's womb, he had to do
19:19
Speaker 2: some type of sin. Like what kind of thinking is that.
19:24
Speaker 2: Now we can understand parents because we know that there's
19:27
Speaker 2: generational curses or the Bible says that he will visit
19:31
Speaker 2: the iniquities of the fathers to the thread for a generation.
19:36
Speaker 2: But that wasn't the case. And so sometimes that there's
19:42
Speaker 2: traditions and there's things that men come up with and
19:46
Speaker 2: they're not necessarily biblical, right, and so just be care
20:00
Speaker 2: for that. Make sure when you hear things like that
20:05
Speaker 2: you can back it up with scripture. Do your own studies. Amen,
20:11
Speaker 2: They said, give God glory. We know that this man
20:14
Speaker 2: is a sinner. In verse twenty five, he answered and said,
20:19
Speaker 2: whether he is a sinner or not, I don't know,
20:23
Speaker 2: Like he doesn't know his man. One thing I know
20:29
Speaker 2: that though I was blind. Now I see, now that
20:37
Speaker 2: is a good rebuttal, let's actually park there for a second.
20:43
Speaker 2: He answered and said, whether he is a sinner or not,
20:48
Speaker 2: I do not know one thing.
20:49
Speaker 3: I know.
20:52
Speaker 2: I thought I was although I was blind. Now I
20:56
Speaker 2: see that's a testimony right here. I once was blind.
21:04
Speaker 2: Now I see. It's not about having every theological argument.
21:12
Speaker 2: It's about the experience and transformation. Jesus touches you. You
21:20
Speaker 2: don't need to explain it. Your life becomes the evidence. Amen.
21:30
Speaker 2: You cannot argue against a personal experience when you have
21:37
Speaker 2: a personal encounter. One of the best things you can
21:43
Speaker 2: do when you witness is you tell people what Jesus
21:48
Speaker 2: has done for you. And maybe even the people that
21:53
Speaker 2: know you, your family members and loved ones, they know
21:56
Speaker 2: and see the change. It used to be an angry person,
22:00
Speaker 2: but now you're patient. He used to be selfish, but
22:04
Speaker 2: now you are considerate. He used to be a drunk
22:08
Speaker 2: or an alcohol or a drug addict. But now you're
22:11
Speaker 2: living sober, clean, responsible, taking care of your family. You
22:18
Speaker 2: cannot stand against the power of a testimony. Amen, Amen, hallelujah,
22:30
Speaker 2: Verse twenty six. And he said to him again, what
22:34
Speaker 2: did he do to you? How did he open your eyes?
22:40
Speaker 2: He answered them, I told you already and you did
22:44
Speaker 2: not listen. Why do you want to hear it again?
22:50
Speaker 2: Do you also want to become his disciple? Man, I
22:53
Speaker 2: love this dude. He like straight took it to him.
22:56
Speaker 2: He's like, look, I was blind. Now I see I
23:00
Speaker 2: don't know what y'all going through. At least, like I said,
23:08
Speaker 2: these guys were investigating, they fell short because they would
23:15
Speaker 2: not believe the miracles before their very eyes. Then they
23:20
Speaker 2: reviled him and said, you are his disciple, but we
23:26
Speaker 2: are Moses's disciple. We know that God spoke to Moses.
23:32
Speaker 2: As for this fellow, we do not know where he
23:36
Speaker 2: is from. Now, this is funny because people can be fickle.
23:43
Speaker 2: We read in the last chapter or maybe the chapter before,
23:49
Speaker 2: where they said, when Jesus told him that he was
23:52
Speaker 2: the bread that came down from heaven, that they must
23:57
Speaker 2: partake of that bread. And their argument was, we know
24:02
Speaker 2: where he is from. It is not the son of
24:05
Speaker 2: Joseph and Mary, And did he not grow up amongst us?
24:10
Speaker 2: Like his familiarity stumbled them and caused them not to
24:15
Speaker 2: follow him any longer. And Jesus himself said that a
24:20
Speaker 2: prophet is not welcome in his own hometown. But now
24:24
Speaker 2: these pharisees claim they don't know where he's from. It's like,
24:30
Speaker 2: make up your mind. The crowd can go from one
24:32
Speaker 2: way to the other. Please do not follow the crowd
24:40
Speaker 2: follow the savior. People can be so fickle, and so
24:46
Speaker 2: they wanted to revile this man who received a miracle.
24:53
Speaker 2: You cannot argue against a personal encounter, a personal experience
25:06
Speaker 2: with the King of kings. Now verse certain. The man
25:18
Speaker 2: answered and said, why this is a marvelous thing that
25:24
Speaker 2: you do not know where he is from. Yet he
25:29
Speaker 2: has opened my eyes. Now we know that God does
25:33
Speaker 2: not hear sinners. Now this is another it's just a saying,
25:42
Speaker 2: like you can't build a doctrine on some of these things.
25:46
Speaker 2: This is just an argument, a discussion of a man
25:49
Speaker 2: who was born blind. Right, if God does not hear sinners,
25:57
Speaker 2: then how did he hear a That's what we needed
26:01
Speaker 2: to get saved. When we cried out to him. How
26:06
Speaker 2: about people who don't know him and they call out
26:11
Speaker 2: for help and he shows up, he hears sinners. Now,
26:18
Speaker 2: he might not be in an intimate relationship with them
26:22
Speaker 2: as we're called to be as believers, But I believe
26:29
Speaker 2: that when sinners cry out, he hears us. And so
26:38
Speaker 2: you got to find scriptures that back up scripture. Right,
26:46
Speaker 2: But if anyone is a worshiper of God and does
26:52
Speaker 2: his will, he hears them. Now that is true. If
26:56
Speaker 2: we worship God and we do his will, he does
26:58
Speaker 2: hear us. Since the world began, has it been unheard
27:05
Speaker 2: of that anyone opened the eyes of one who was
27:09
Speaker 2: born blind? This man were not from God, He could
27:13
Speaker 2: do nothing. Amen, Now this is amazing how he's having
27:22
Speaker 2: this discussion with this blind man and these pharisees. You
27:27
Speaker 2: lost another one in verse thirty four. They answered it
27:31
Speaker 2: said to him, you were completely born in sin and
27:38
Speaker 2: you are teaching us, and they cast him out. Now,
27:43
Speaker 2: how can they say that? How can they say he
27:45
Speaker 2: was born in sin? They didn't know. I'm pretty sure
27:50
Speaker 2: they were probably around the same age, right, so they
27:53
Speaker 2: were probably babies themselves. So how do they know that
27:58
Speaker 2: this man was completely born in sin, because they probably
28:03
Speaker 2: held to the same thought as Jesus' disciples did, saying
28:08
Speaker 2: who's sin that this man was born blind? He was
28:12
Speaker 2: a popular thought, but it wasn't necessarily scripture, because Jesus
28:19
Speaker 2: himself said, neither this man nor his parents, but so
28:23
Speaker 2: that the works of God can be revealed Verse thirty five.
28:31
Speaker 2: Jesus heard that they cast him out, and when he
28:36
Speaker 2: had found him, he said to him, do you believe
28:41
Speaker 2: in the Son of God? See it's important. Now this
28:48
Speaker 2: man already went through the persecution, he went through the opposition.
28:55
Speaker 2: He just went through the fire. Now this man was
28:59
Speaker 2: probably league, just innocently sitting by the roadside mining his
29:05
Speaker 2: business and didn't even see Jesus, right because he was blind,
29:13
Speaker 2: and the Lord just either decided to heal him because
29:18
Speaker 2: his story is not the same story as blind Barti Maus.
29:22
Speaker 2: Blind Barti Maeus cried out, Jesus, our son of David,
29:26
Speaker 2: have mercy. And they tried to quiet him. They tried
29:30
Speaker 2: to tell him the hush, but he quiet out even
29:33
Speaker 2: more like this man is blind and you're trying to
29:36
Speaker 2: tell him to be quiet. That's why you cannot follow
29:39
Speaker 2: the crowd. People are fickle and blind. Mayus received his
29:47
Speaker 2: sight that way. So here's this guy minding his business,
29:54
Speaker 2: gets healed and he's immediately thrown into the fire. Like
29:58
Speaker 2: this is the first thing you see is these Pharisees
30:02
Speaker 2: and Sagucies all up in your grill. Now, if you're
30:06
Speaker 2: gonna go through all that, you might as well be
30:09
Speaker 2: a believer, because you're already cast out the synagogue. Like
30:12
Speaker 2: you can't you can't go and be a you know,
30:17
Speaker 2: partaking the Jewish religion. So you're already a cast out.
30:21
Speaker 2: So it's wise he had to bring this man to belief,
30:27
Speaker 2: and sometimes, beloved, our belief in Christ will cost us.
30:33
Speaker 2: Are we prepared to pay the price, Just like recently
30:39
Speaker 2: we just saw Charlie Kirk get assassinated. He was going
30:44
Speaker 2: to college campuses preaching and teaching biblical principles. I don't
30:53
Speaker 2: know what you would want to say about him. I
30:57
Speaker 2: know there's a lot of controversy around him and around
31:00
Speaker 2: this situation, but I respect a man for standing up
31:06
Speaker 2: with scriptures, standing up for the Word of God, and
31:11
Speaker 2: like many men in the Word in the Bible, he
31:15
Speaker 2: gave his life for it. He became a martyr. The
31:19
Speaker 2: question is could we stand for the Lord that way,
31:25
Speaker 2: the way he has done, hopefully by the grace of God.
31:29
Speaker 2: The answer is yes to all of us, because we
31:34
Speaker 2: never know that the Lord will call us, calling us
31:41
Speaker 2: to make this type of stand in our faith. Amen.
31:48
Speaker 2: So he says, do you believe in the Son of God?
31:52
Speaker 2: He answered and said, who is he? Lord? That I
31:55
Speaker 2: may believe in him? Jesus said to him, you have
31:59
Speaker 2: both seen him, and it is he who is talking
32:03
Speaker 2: to you. Hallelujah. So he reveals himself, and this is
32:11
Speaker 2: a beautiful conversion of this blind man. He said, Lord,
32:15
Speaker 2: I believe, and he worshiped him. You see belief cause
32:24
Speaker 2: for action, we need to take time out to worship
32:28
Speaker 2: him daily and to do his will. Only those who
32:36
Speaker 2: are true worshipers are the ones who are empowered to
32:42
Speaker 2: do his will. Hallelujah. First study seven. And Jesus said
32:50
Speaker 2: to him, you have both seen him, and it is
32:53
Speaker 2: he who is talking to you. Then he said to him, Lord,
32:57
Speaker 2: I believe, and worshiped him. Thirty nine. And Jesus said,
33:03
Speaker 2: for judgment, I have come into this world that those
33:07
Speaker 2: who do not see may see, and that those who
33:12
Speaker 2: see may be made blind. Then some of the Pharisees
33:18
Speaker 2: who were with him heard these words and said to him,
33:22
Speaker 2: are we blind? Also? You just said to them, if
33:27
Speaker 2: you were blind, you would have no sin. Now you
33:32
Speaker 2: say that we see therefore your sin remains. Now that
33:37
Speaker 2: is tragic, and let's break that down real quick. Jesus
33:48
Speaker 2: revealed that spiritual blindness is more dangerous than physical blindness.
33:56
Speaker 4: Look like lost another one.
33:57
Speaker 2: Those who think they see meaning the self righteous are
34:04
Speaker 2: actually in the dark.
34:08
Speaker 3: Love it.
34:08
Speaker 2: You need to really really study this and examine your heart.
34:14
Speaker 2: Do you know someone who is self righteous? Sometimes we
34:18
Speaker 2: can fall into that very trap. Remember, the Bible says
34:22
Speaker 2: the heart is deceitful and desperately wicked. Who can know it?
34:27
Speaker 2: Our very hearts can deceive us. That's why we need
34:30
Speaker 2: to stay in the word of God. Are you always
34:34
Speaker 2: judging others? Are you a judgmental person? Are you overly corrective?
34:40
Speaker 2: Do you always want to correct someone else before you
34:43
Speaker 2: want to correct your own issues in your own life? Right?
34:50
Speaker 2: Are you always critical of others? You want to criticize
34:55
Speaker 2: every little thing, and you want to correct every little thing,
35:00
Speaker 2: But then you think you can do no wrong when
35:03
Speaker 2: it's time for you to be corrected. You're always arguing
35:09
Speaker 2: against it. That's a sign that you could be spiritually blind,
35:17
Speaker 2: a pharisee or religious pharisee, and that you could be
35:26
Speaker 2: a self righteous person. If I were you, I would
35:31
Speaker 2: break it down, break down self righteous in the Greek,
35:33
Speaker 2: the Hebrew, study it all the way. As a matter
35:37
Speaker 2: of fact, I'm gonna do that. Maybe we can do
35:41
Speaker 2: a podcast and just break it all down, because that's
35:46
Speaker 2: very important. The light of Christ doesn't just expose, it
35:54
Speaker 2: also transforms. Don't let pride block your vision. Don't let
36:03
Speaker 2: your pride cause you to be blind. If we humble ourselves,
36:11
Speaker 2: he'll give us eyes to see the truth clearly. Let
36:16
Speaker 2: me say that again. If we walk humbly before our King,
36:22
Speaker 2: he will give us eyes so that we can have
36:28
Speaker 2: spiritual sight and so that we can see clearly. Amen,
36:36
Speaker 2: We'll be right back right after this.
36:44

36:48

41:03
Speaker 4: This is the hiss hop radio show.
41:12
Speaker 2: As long as God don't cancel me, it's gonna be
41:17
Speaker 2: all right. Come on now. I think that's the perfect
41:21
Speaker 2: song for the topic today. This blind man was cast
41:26
Speaker 2: out of the synagogue. They were hating on him because
41:29
Speaker 2: he received a healing from the Son of God. Come on, sometimes, beloved,
41:39
Speaker 2: it's gonna be like that in our walk with the Lord.
41:41
Speaker 2: Are we able to withstand the heat and not fall
41:47
Speaker 2: away and not get offended? Amen?
41:53
Speaker 1: All right?
41:54
Speaker 2: Our next segment is the accountability partner. This is where
41:59
Speaker 2: we meet up in their life chat where we you know,
42:04
Speaker 2: just say hey, pray for me or maybe there's something
42:08
Speaker 2: that you're dealing with. There is one thing about sin
42:12
Speaker 2: and that the Word of God does confirm that our
42:16
Speaker 2: sins will separate us from our walk with the Lord.
42:21
Speaker 2: So it's good that we get with the group that
42:24
Speaker 2: is working through sin right, working to repent from it,
42:31
Speaker 2: working to walk away from it, calling up on the
42:34
Speaker 2: Lord for change, trying to ingrab the Word in our hearts.
42:39
Speaker 2: And that is what this podcast is all about. Meet
42:43
Speaker 2: us into life chat so that we can get some
42:46
Speaker 2: iron that sharpens iron, you know what I mean. And
42:53
Speaker 2: it was put in my heart because as I work
42:56
Speaker 2: the altar at church, there's been people that have come
43:03
Speaker 2: up and they deal with the same sin, like for
43:07
Speaker 2: a whole year, struggle with the same thing, and I'm like, WHOA,
43:13
Speaker 2: there's got to be some accountability. There's got to be
43:18
Speaker 2: someone that can help you pray through this and give
43:21
Speaker 2: you the word and stuff like that, and sometimes that's
43:24
Speaker 2: what's missing. Jesus said, go and make disciples, and so yeah,
43:30
Speaker 2: you can say that this is our little small group
43:33
Speaker 2: right here on the radio station. As we come together
43:36
Speaker 2: in the live chat, make sure you log in so
43:39
Speaker 2: we can connect with you. And also, if you want
43:42
Speaker 2: to take it a step further, go to the top
43:44
Speaker 2: left menu, then click the drop down go to podcasts
43:49
Speaker 2: and go to his Hot Radio podcast and right there
43:52
Speaker 2: there's a form you can fill out. It's like a
43:56
Speaker 2: self checklist. Ask yourself these questions. Be honest with you yourself.
44:01
Speaker 2: Go ahead and make it a discipline. Don't be lazy.
44:04
Speaker 2: This is your spiritual development, your spiritual walk. I you
44:08
Speaker 2: need to build some spiritual muscle. Go to that area,
44:14
Speaker 2: go through that list, do a little self check and
44:17
Speaker 2: then there's a section that says would you like for
44:20
Speaker 2: us to follow up with you? Fill it out, send
44:23
Speaker 2: it in and myself or a team member will follow
44:27
Speaker 2: up with you and help you with this walk. Amen.
44:33
Speaker 2: So the challenge for this week is call up your
44:38
Speaker 2: spiritual partner if you have one already. If you don't,
44:41
Speaker 2: hit us up, but hit up your accountability partner and
44:45
Speaker 2: ask him this question.
44:46
Speaker 3: Say, have.
44:48
Speaker 2: Your spiritual site been good lately? How is it?
44:57
Speaker 3: Are you.
44:59
Speaker 2: Blind or have you been seeing clearly? How have you
45:03
Speaker 2: been seeing lately?
45:05
Speaker 3: Have you been.
45:05
Speaker 2: Distracted by what you see in this natural world. We're
45:12
Speaker 2: talking about paying bills or stress or even people hating
45:19
Speaker 2: on you. Have you been distracted by those things? Right?
45:27
Speaker 2: Then you ask a question, where have I been walking
45:30
Speaker 2: blind at? Is there a blind spot?
45:36
Speaker 1: Where is it?
45:37
Speaker 2: The Holy Spirit? Will we vial it to you and
45:41
Speaker 2: pray with your accountability partner, And then let's pray for
45:45
Speaker 2: each other in his life Chat as God restores our
45:50
Speaker 2: spiritual focus. If you want prayer, just type into life
45:55
Speaker 2: Chat and say pray for me and we'll come back
