  Speaker 1: You're listening to His Hop Radio, where faith, hope, and
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: hip hop unite to glorify Jesus Christ. Broadcasting from Las
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: Vegas to the world. This is verse by verse, studying
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: God's Word, one verse at a time. Now, let's tap
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: in with your host, mister His Hopes.
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: Of the Headquarters. Hello, it's Hop.
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: Los Vegas. But you lost another.
• 0:41
  Speaker 4: One, yo, yo, yo, what's up?
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: What's up? Happy Monday to everybody out there. It's in
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: your brother, mister his Hot and welcome to His Hot
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: radio podcast. This is verse by verse. Hey, we jump
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: on here Monday through Saturday, every day at eleven am
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: Pacific Standard time, so that we can go through the
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: Word together, encourage each other and meet each other in
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: the life chat where we uplift, sharpen one another, hold
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: each other accountable, encourage each other to walk down this
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: narrow path because we know broad is a way that
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: leads to destruction, but narrow is a path that leads
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: to life. And basically it's the difference between those who
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: listen to Jesus and those who don't. Right like, you
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: could be up in church in ministry and still not
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: have a life submitted to the Lord Jesus Christ. So
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: here we are learning. We are training. Our cry is Lord,
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: teach us your ways. We are are endeavoring to be followers.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: That means listeners, that means doers of the word right,
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: apply it in our lives. And so that's where the
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: accountability partner helps us with. We look into God's word
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: and we try to put it into practice. We know
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: no one is perfect, but we got to be on
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: the journey right. We got to exercise that muscle of faith.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: And we need each other to keep us encouraged because
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: it's not easy. Amen. We need to be renewed in
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: our minds. We need to ask God for his grace. Yes,
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: we need to do that, and hopefully you do have
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: a local church that you're plugged into. But also we
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: do help. We come alongside you on this podcast if
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: you need prayer, if you need encouragement. The Bible says
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: one can take a thousand the flight, but ten can
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: take I mean two can take ten thousand to flight.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: So we are here as your family to help each
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: and every one of us cross that finish line of faith,
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: and that is to be in the presence of God
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: and hear those words good and faithful servant. Amen. That
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: is our goal, that's our agenda. We tell you upfront,
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: that's why this podcast exists. And so we hope that
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: you meet us every day at eleven to get encouragement,
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: to get strengthened in your faith. It's almost like working
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: out at the gym. Right. The more you do, the
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: more discipline that you apply to it, the more you'll
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: get out of it. Amen. And with that being said,
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: let's pray. Oh well, let me tell you how to
• 3:51

• 4:37
  Speaker 2: our Father and prayer. Evenly, Father, we thank you, Father
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: God for another opportunity, Father God, to serve another opportunity
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: to be blessed another opportunity to look into your word.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: We ask o God for revelation. We ask for the
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: rama Word, Oh God. We ask for your presence, Oh God,
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: Oh Lord, that you will watch over this podcast. We
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: pray Father, God Lord, that every year that's intended will
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: hear it. Lord God, that people will get touched, encouraged,
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: set free, healed, and delivered as we go through your word,
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: your principles, and learn, Oh God, more about you and
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: your character. We asked us in Jesus' name, Amen and amen.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: All right. So we are still in the Book of Jeremiah,
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: chapter twelve and the last episode, Jeremiah asked a question.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: The question is why do the wicked prospers? It seems
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: like wicked people have it easy, while righteous people have
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: to be tested by the Lord. We have to go
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: through trial and temptation. We have to pass our tests.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: We have to go through persecution, like why is it
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: harder to live the right to life? And it seems
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: like wicked or healthy, their children have no problems. They prosper,
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: They have houses there. You know how it is, you
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: see people at work or in different places, you know
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: they're crooked, right, you know they're mean and all that stuff.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying, But it seems like they're
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: prospering and they have no issues in life. And this
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: question has been asked all throughout the Bible, and it's interesting.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: I do want to say this. It's interesting how God
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: answers some of these questions, Like for the Book of Job,
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: for instance, when Job was asking God about his situation
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: at the end of the book, he just says, where
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: were you when I created that heavens and earth? Like
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: where were you when I did this? And where were
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: you when I did that? You know, it's like God
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: answers a question with the question because when it comes
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: down to it, God doesn't have to answer to nobody.
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: And now, don't get me wrong, God doesn't mind our questions.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: As a matter of fact, He wants us to go
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: to Him with our questions, especially if we have honest questions,
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: you know what I mean. Some people have dishonest questions
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: before the Lord, and maybe that's another topic for another podcast.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: But if we have an honest question and we're really
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: seeking the Lord, I believe God doesn't mind those. But
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: at the same time we have to understand God may
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: answer in a way that we do not expect, and
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: that's exactly what he did here in Jeremiah, and I
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: wanted to take some time to go over there. So
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: I don't know if we're going to finish all the
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: verses today because I do want to take time to
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: take a look into this. And as I mentioned before,
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: like in the last episode, we kind of stopped right
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: here because I thought it was good and I believe
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: that this would be helpful to go over So Jeremiah,
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: he's like, why do the wicked prosper? You know, Lord,
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: your God, you're in control. Why do you allow all
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: of this? Basically to sum it up, so in verse
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: five is his response, God answers the question of a
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: servant Jeremiah Versus five. It says, if you have run
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: with the footmen, they have wearied you, then how can
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: you contend with horses? Now that seems like a strange
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: answer to the question. I remember. The question is why
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: do the wicked prosper? And the Lord is talking about, Okay,
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: there's you're in the race, and if you can't keep
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: up with the foot race, how you're going to keep
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: up with horses? Right? And to us, our brain immediately
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: will say, well, that's humanly impossible. Then he goes on
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: to saying, if in the land of peace in which
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: you trusted, they wearied you, then how will you do
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: in the footplane of the Jordan? Now what kind of
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: an answer is that to his question? But the answer
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: is within the response. So we have to dig a
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: little deeper, and we really have to look and understand.
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: And if we can understand this, we can understand most
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: of the questions that we would have and bring before
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: the Lord. Right, So let's break it down. If you
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: run with the footmen and they have wearied you, then
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: how can you contend with horses? Now the key is
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: they wearied you? Now the question that we need to
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: ask ourselves what can weary us? What have you tried
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: to do in life that has gotten you weary or
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: basically have warned you out or brought you to the
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: end of yourself. You thought you could swindle your way,
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: or you thought that you could just maneuver a few things,
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: you thought you can manage and handle. And a lot
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: of these things happen when we go down the path
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: of sin. Sometimes when we start off, we think we
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: have control, right, especially when we dab into things like
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: that are addictive, you know, alcohol, drugs, things like that,
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: sexual and moral relationships. We think we have control at
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: the very beginning of it. Then slowly we learn that
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: these things start taking power over us. My big struggle
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: is food. You know. I know there's different foods I
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: need to stop eating and get away from. And then
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: I'll be like, Okay, well let me just get this
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: one more time. And then next thing, you know, I
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: got ten more of those things. You know what I'm saying.
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: And so we all have an area, right, it's in
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: all of us matter. As a matter of fact, what
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: can we really control? See if we learn this principle,
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: the quicker we learn it, the better off we will be.
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: You see, all of life brings us to the end
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: of ourselves. We really can't handle anything. And so the
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: question is, man, if you ran with the foot footmen,
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: and you're wearied, then how can you contend with horses? Now,
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: horses is an upgrade from people running on their feet?
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: Would you agree? How many of us would say, you
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: know what, I'm gonna run a foot race against a
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: group of horses, Like, how far would you get? How
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: would that race go? You know what I mean? And
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: as we think of some of the westerns we've watched
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: growing up, or maybe we've seen a couple of horse races,
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: and you know, there's some very fast horses out there
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: that could jump high and far and wide, and there's
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: some amazing beautiful horses out there. And I don't know
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: of any human that can outrun or even just keep
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: up with a horse. So what is the Lord really
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: trying to show us here? And he says, and if
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: in the land of peace in which you trusted, they
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: wearied you. There's a key word again, wearied, then how
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: will you go in the floodplain of the Jordan? And
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: we know about the Jordan River. How when the Israelites
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: first came into the land, they had to cross this
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: river and supernaturally the waters dried up so that they
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: can cross. That's in the book of what it was
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: it Jeremiah. Does Jeremiah have his own book? I'm not
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: Jeremiah Joshua. We know Joshua did this. You know, I
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: don't know. My brain is going getting kind of fuzzy
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: right now. I want to say, I know Genesis Exodus.
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: Is there a book of Joshua? I know I might
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: have to look that up. But when Joshua took over
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: from Moses. We know that it was in the book
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: of Exodus. I believe you read about Joshua in the
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: Book of Exodus. There's been a minute since I've been
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: that far back in the Old Testament, So my brain
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: is getting a little fuzzy right right now. But anyway,
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: as they're coming into the Promised Land, the Jordan River
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: dried up. Now, what is a key ingredient missing in
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: what we just read? Right? Think about it? What would
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: make this successful? What would make you successful in a
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: foot race? What would make you successful running against horsemen?
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: What wouldn't make make you successful in the plane of Jordan. Now,
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: the answer is within the question that God posed before Jeremiah.
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: And I just wanted us to go a little deeper.
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: I just want us to think a little bit. Think
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: about that. Paul the Apostle, Paul the Apostle had a
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: thorn in his flesh, and he went before the Lord
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: three times, and he asked him to remove the thorn
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: that is in his flesh. And what was his answer
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: towards Paul. His answer was, my grace is sufficient for you. See,
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: the Lord is pointing out our need for him. He
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: is a king. He is the key factor. We are
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: quick to get weary in the race of life. We
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: come to the end of ourselves. We get to a
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: place where we can't handle it, that our strength is
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: gonna fade away, our hope. We get discouraged, we get worried,
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: we get stressed out, We start making rash decisions. We
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: do a lot of things. In some of us we
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: do turn to drugs or alcohol, or do we try
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: to numb the pain, or do we try to escape
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: the situation. And what he is saying to Jeremiah is
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: you need me. I am the source of your strength.
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: My grace is sufficient for you. I am the one
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: that will help you keep up with the footmen. I
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: am the one that will help you keep up with
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: the horses, and not only that surpass the horses. I
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: am the one that I will keep you in peace.
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: I am the source of your strength. Amen. And that
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: is the answer to every question that we have before
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: the Lord. Think about it. It all comes back to him.
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: Think about everything you've tried to do on your own.
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: Who was the answer. It was Jesus the whole time.
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: If you would have brought your situation to him. And
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: this is something that I am definitely going to exercise
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: and get better at is bringing my situations, my circumstances,
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: bringing my case before the Lord. He wants us to
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: come to him and to be like, Lord, this is
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: impossible for me, but it is easy for you. I
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: give it over to you. I give him my marriage,
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: my wife, my finances, my future, my ministry, this podcast.
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: I give it over to the Lord. The Lord is
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: able to make it successful, and a lot of times
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: he will allow us to go through these situations to
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: build our character and to prepare us for something greater.
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: If you notice, it was always a level up. A
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: foot race is one thing, but horsemen is an upgrade
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: from that. So God is always bringing us to a
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: greater place. But he has to prepare our faith, He
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: has to prepare our character. He has to prepare us
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: because doing a race with a horseman is going to
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: inquire a completely different set of skills. To race a
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: horse is one thing. To ride a horse, right. I
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: remember when I was younger with my stepdad and they
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: you know, he grew up in Arkansas, and he took us,
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: me and my siblings to the farm he grew up on,
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: and we had a chance to ride on some ponies.
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: And I was on this pony. Well I don't know
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: if it was a pony or a horse or whatever.
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: I remember he was all white and I wasn't on
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: the saddle or whatnot, but I wanted to ride it.
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: So I'm riding on this thing and he just kept
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: going to the bushes like he just runned me off
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: on the bushes. Like at least, you know, he didn't
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: kick me or anything like that. He knew not have
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: to like really hurt me. But he was like, you know,
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: I'm just gonna scrape in one of these bushes and
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: get them off me, you know what I mean. So
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: that was my first experience of riding a horse. But
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: imagine racing a horse. How skillful you have to be,
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: how much you have to know and be trained, and
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: then you we have to compete against other horses. And
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: I imagine these horses are strong and fit in their
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: tip top shape at their peak, and their racing against
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: each other. And who knows what the Lord has called
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: us to, especially in this generation, especially in these last days,
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: we really need to keep our dependents on our God,
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: on our Lord and Savior. We need to pray, Lord
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: give me the desire in discipline to pray every day,
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: to put you first. Give us a desire in the
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: discipline to stay in your word, to renew our minds.
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: Give us a desire and discipline to meet up every
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: day at eleven o'clock on this podcast to give you
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: a little hope, a little encouragement. A lot of people
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: take their breaks like around eleven clock and this is
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: you know, Pacific standard time. People on the East Coast.
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: I believe they'll get this like around three o'clock in
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: the afternoon. Hey, why not get some encouragement. Why not
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: log into the life Chat? Why not? I mean, you
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: can follow different YouTube podcasts and things like that, and
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: there's totally nothing wrong with them, and you can get
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: into their comments and a lot of people, you know,
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: they can go back and forth with questions and there's
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: totally nothing wrong with it. But here we're building an
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: online community where we come together in the live chat,
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: and then we also do a conference call at the
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: end of each podcast where we actually interact with each
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: other and really try to encourage each other and pray
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: for each other and be there for each other. Right
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: like the Body of Christ. Shout out to my boy
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: zone three. Right now, it's just me and my boy's
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: zone doing it. But I believe that this can really
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: grow once this catches on, when people realize what we
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: do here and what is actually being offered. I believe
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: that a lot of people will begin to call in
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: and jump in on the life chat. Amen. But once again,
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: like I said, we have to depend on the grace
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: of God, and this is basically how this question is formed.
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: And then, like I said, if you realize the way
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: God answers a lot of questions in the Bible, like
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: he told Job, where were you when I created the earth?
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: He's telling Job that you need to depend on me.
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: I have the source. I am the strength, right. Amen.
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: All right, let's go ahead and move on. That's why
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: I wanted to just really take a little time out
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: to explain his response to Jeremiah's question verse six. For
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: even your brothers the house of your father, even they
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: have dealt treacherously with you. Now, this is heartbreaking. When
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: you're very brothers. He's saying, the from the house of
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: your father, these are ken, these are blood brothers, and
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: they've dealt treacherously with you. That reminds us of the
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: story of Joseph, how his brothers threw him in the
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: pit and sold him into slavery. Right, and even Jesus
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: himself he said that the prophet is not welcome in
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: his hometown.
• 23:58
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: People close to you can be the ones that can
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: give you the most opposition when you are trying to
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: fulfill the call of God on your life. And he
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: points it out. He says, even your brothers dealt treacherously
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: with you. Yes, they have called a multitude after you.
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: Do not believe them, even though they speak smooth words.
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: While even though they might try to flatter you, even
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: though they might try to cover up their plot and
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: their plan and their scheme against you, God has given
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: them discernment and heads up. Do not believe them. And man,
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: we cannot entrust ourselves to people. I mean we really can't. Now.
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: Even Jesus himself, in his ministries did not entrust himself
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: to men because he knew what was in himn It
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: goes back to how he answered the question. And we
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: need to put our trust in faith in God. Amen, hallelujah.
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: Now imagine Jeremiah ministrying and having his own family member
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: turn against him, but yet he has to forgive them right,
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: Jesus says that if you don't forgive, you will not
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: be forgiven. You can literally miss heaven. You can end
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: up in hell if you don't. If you choose not
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: to forgive, that's not a light thing. And I'm just
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: I'm just looking. I'm observing these things his close brothers,
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: betraying them not betrayal is probably one of the hardest
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: things to get over because somebody has to be close
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: to you in order to betraying. Now on enemy ops,
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying. Opposition out there outside is
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: one thing. You expect it from them, but you don't
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: expect it from somebody who's close to you. Remember Jesus,
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: Jesus had a Judas, but Jesus didn't allow Judas to
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: like discourage him, you know what I mean. Like Jesus
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: still had joy, he had love, he still forgave, he
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: went on to fulfill purpose, while Judas ended up in hell.
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: It's a person who who doesn't betrayal, it's the one
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: who's going to have the rude awakening. Right, They're the
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: ones are going to get dealt with. All we have
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: to do is we got to keep loving that Judas.
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: We gotta love him even though he kisses us the
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: Judas kiss. Right, our job is to love them and
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: to forgive them, and hopefully, if they repent, we've won
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: a brother or sister. Amen. Verse seven. I have forsaken
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: my house. I have left my heritage. Now this is
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: God in his heart is breaking over how he has
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: to deal with the nation of Israel. I have given
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: the daily beloved of my soul into the hand of
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: her enemies. Now this speaks of like a husband divorcing
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: a wife, right, the woman that he loved. Now this
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: is God's attitude. We are the apple of his eye.
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: We are He is so in love with us, He
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: loves us so much. Right, and let this not be us.
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: Let not God lament over us, saying that he had
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: to give us over right, my heritage is to me
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: like a lion in the forest. It cries out against me.
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: Therefore I have hated it. Wow. Now it's almost like
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: a contradiction. Right, he says I love you one second,
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: but he says he hates it the next. He hates
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: the behavior. He wants good fruit out of our lives. Right,
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: he wants good fruit. He hates sin. You know, I've
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: heard it said that God loves the sin, loves the sinner,
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: but he hates the sin. And I agree with that
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: God loves us, that God will always hate sin. God
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: is a holy God and a just God. That's why,
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: to me is dangerous to preach one saved, always saved,
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: because where is the holiness? Where is the need the
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: outcry to live a life of holiness insanctified sanctification, separate
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: ourselves from the world. And why does Paul go through
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: all the trouble with the epistles to tell us to
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: live right, to live righteous, to seek God, to seek
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: his face. Why would we need to even seek him
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: if we're good right once you get you saying prayer
• 29:02
  Speaker 2: and you're good like no, this thing is a daily maintenance.
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: We cannot take our salvation for granted. It is a relationship.
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: So remember God will always hate sin. And when we
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: find ourselves fall and tenemptation, we need to repent like
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: right away. Number nine, My heritage is to me like
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: a speckled vulture. The vultures all around are against her.
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: Come assemble all the beasts of the field, bring them
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: to devour. God doesn't play, beloved, God doesn't play. He's
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: bringing the beat think of the lions and the tigers
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: and the bears. Oh my, all right, we know that's
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: the Wizard of Oz, But I mean, think of all
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: the pre that the man eaters out there, that can
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: just devour a city. This is what they had to face,
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: and this is what God is calling for. Verse ten.
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: Many rulers have destroyed my vineyard. They have tried my
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: portion underfoot. They have made my pleasant portion a desolate wilderness.
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: Now I just think these are the things that belong
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: to the Lord. These are his portion, his garden. How
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: would you like it if you worked hard in your
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: backyard and you planted a garden and it's growing, and
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: you're reaping the benefits, you enjoy it. You just want
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: to go and enjoy your garden and just smell the sweetness.
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: And your neighbor comes in and just steps on in
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: and ruins it and steals all your fruit and vesheables,
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: and it's like they just destroyed your stuff. This is
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: how the Lord is looking at the nation of Israel.
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: It's like my pleasant portion is desolate. They have made
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: it desolate. Verse eleven. Desolate and more in desolate. It
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: mourns to me. The whole land is made desolate because
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: no one takes it to heart. Now, let's park it
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: right there. No one takes it to heart. No one
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: is really considering it. No one is really observing this right,
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: No one is really going over scripture, really digging into
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: the Word of God, and then looking at the conditions
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: of the nation. We can apply this to the United
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: States of America. Who who is really taking these things
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: to heart? The fact that our nation has turned so
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: far away from the Lord who is taking it to
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: heart that we are breaking his commandments. We need to
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: learn and know his commandments in order to know whether
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: or not we are breaking them. Just like if you're
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: at work, every workplace has policies, and it's up to
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: us as employees to be familiar with the policies of
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: the organization. And if we break the policies, they have
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: every right to fire us. They have every right to
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: get rid of us, especially if we are ignorant and
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: don't take the time out to learn. This is how
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: we are supposed to behave ourselves as we are employed
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: where we are in their employment. If we want to
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: have a successful employment, a successful career, we need to
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: learn and understand the policies. Now, as far as God
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: and how God is seen in this place. He has
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: his commandments, he has his words, and he has his
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: policies on how we are to function in the Kingdom
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: of Heaven. Amen. He has the same things, and these
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: things are known by keeping his commandments. And so the
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: nation of Israel, they broke the laws of God, and
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: so they were taken out of the land. Amen. It says,
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: because no one took it to heart. We really need
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: to take it to heart. We need to take God's
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: word to heart, his commandments to heart, and God desires
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: to deal with us. We need to take it all
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: to heart. Amen. And also plunders, the plunderers have come,
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: and all the desolate heights in the wilderness. For the
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: sword of the Lord shall devour from one end of
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: the land to the other end of the land. No
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: flesh shall have peace. This is a prophecy and a
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: very disturbing one, because no one is going to get
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: away with this. No one says the sword of the
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: Lord will devour. So it shows you right here that
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: God is sending this army to invade the nation. And
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: verse thirteen, it says, and they have soon eat but
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: reaped thorns, they'll put themselves in pain, but do not profit,
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: but be ashamed of your harvest because of the fierce
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: anger of the Lord. Now it shows that they're still
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: trying to sow in their garden. They're still trying to prosper.
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: You could connect this to the economics of the land
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: where they're going to work, or they're trying to make
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: a profit and make some moves in business, but God's
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: judgment is against them. They says, they put themselves to pain,
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: but they do not profit. And this could be another
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: area where we need to examine our lives or if
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: whether or not where pain or ties, or we're given
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: and offering, or there's financial situations in our lives. Sometimes
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: we need to break bring those before the Lord and
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: ask the Lord, okay, is this something? Are you trying
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: to get my attention? Are you trying to teach me something?
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: Here a man and it says it's because of his
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: fierce anger. The Lord has an anger, right, and we
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: do not want to provoke him to wrath. The Bible
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: says do not grieve the Holy Spirit. So we have
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: to really understand that this is a relationship here, this
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: is a marriage right, this is a covenant that we
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: have with our heavenly Father. Verse fourteen. Thus says the
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: Lord against all my evil neighbors who touched the inhabitants
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: which I have caused my people Israel to inherit. Behold,
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: now he's addressing the nations around Israel. Right, He's gonna
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: deal with them as well. And he says, I will
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: pluck them out of their land and pluck out the
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: House of Judah from amongst them. Now, why is God
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: taking this up? Why is he addressing the nations around
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: Jerusalem and he's taking it. He's saying that I'm gonna
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: pluck them out of their land and out of the
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: House of Judah. Now hold that question for a second.
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: Verse fifteen. Then it shall be after I have plucked
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: them out, that I will return and have compassion on
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: them and bring them back everyone to his heritage and
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: everyone to his land. Now we take a turn. Right
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: here we see the fierce anger of the Lord. But
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: now the Lord decides to show mercy. He decides to
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: show compassion, and that should be a lesson for us
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: as well. Let's apply it right. The application to that.
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: We could be angry, we could be upset. It could
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: be our children, our spouses people who have disrespected us
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: and done us wrong. That, yeah, they could, you know,
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: be punished for it. We could deal with them, correct
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: them in a certain way. But then we cannot neglect
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: to show them compassion afterwards. There always should be a
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: road back. There always should be a path to restoration.
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: And this is the heart and the character of God.
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: He decides to show compassion, and he said he's going
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: to bring them back to their land. Now, if you remember,
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: earlier in this chapter, he was saying that he was
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: going to bring wild animals to devour them. Right, he
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: was gonna fling them out of the land. This is
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: how upset he was with this nation. But now after
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: his anger has been satisfied, he's bringing them back into
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: the land. And we saw this back in what I
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: believe it was nineteen forty eight when Israel became a
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: nation again. So God will keep his promises verse sixteen.
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: And it shall be if they will learn carefully the
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: ways of my people to swear by my name as
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: the Lord lives, as they taught my people to swear
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: by ball, then they shall be established in the midst
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: of my people. But if they do not obey, I
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: will utterly pluck them up and destroy that nation, says
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: the Lord. Now that's really let's take another look at this,
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: a deeper look at what he's saying here. Now he's
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: dealing with the nation of Israel. He's going to bring
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: them back to their land. But now he's dealing with
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: the nations around Israel. We call them heathen nations in
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: the Bible, right, the Jews call them gentiles, and you
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: can say that it's us right. We are gentiles according
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: to the flesh, but spiritually we are Israel. And he's
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: telling us in verse sixteen that if we are careful
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: to learn his ways and swear by his name, as
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: the Lord lives right, as they were diligent to swear
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: by Baal, which was a false god. They were diligent,
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: they were disciplined to worship this false god. But he
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: is saying, if they denounced him and they worshiped me
• 40:59
  Speaker 2: with this energy, the same intensity, he said that He
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: will establish them in the midst of my people right,
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: and so our prayers should be Lord, teach us your ways.
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: And I believe that it is manifested in their church
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: today because the Church is made up of different nations
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: from all over the world. The Church is made up
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: of jew and gentile. It doesn't matter naturally what nation
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: you are from. As long as you learn the ways
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: of the Lord, you will be established. This is a
• 41:38
  Speaker 2: promise and a principle. This should keep us encouraged. Right.
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: The Lord says that no one took this to heart.
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: This is why Judah failed, This is why they were
• 41:52
  Speaker 2: judged by other nations. If we take this to heart,
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: and if we cry out to the Lord teach us
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: your ways, and if we're diligent to study the word
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: of God, to renew our minds and to put this
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: into practice, we will be established. And we could turn
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: things around in this nation. We could turn things around
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: in our lives, in our marriages, in our homes, and
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: in our families. Only if we take this to heart. Amen,
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: all right, it's time for a break.
• 42:28
  Speaker 3: You are listening to the light of Las Vegas. This
• 42:32
  Speaker 3: is the hiss hop radio show.
• 42:47
  Speaker 5: Christ Alife. He Ain't Diddy Live inside of Me is

• 43:09

• 43:28
  Speaker 5: I turned thirteen, I was looking for love. You didn't

  Speaker 2: All right, all right, we are back from the break.
• 46:08
  Speaker 2: This is your boy missing his hot. I want to
• 46:10
  Speaker 2: give a quick shout out to the Life Chat shout
• 46:13
  Speaker 2: out to my brother's Zone three that faithfully shows up
• 46:17
  Speaker 2: every day and when he can't make it, he's always
• 46:20
  Speaker 2: in the replay. Appreciate you, bro. It's very encouraging to
• 46:24
  Speaker 2: have day Wills that be rocking with you. You know
• 46:26
  Speaker 2: what I'm saying. So I appreciate you, brother. Looking forward
• 46:29
  Speaker 2: to the call after the podcast so that we can
• 46:33
  Speaker 2: get our accountability on. Speaking of accountability, that is our
• 46:38
  Speaker 2: segment right now, our accountability partner. We know that it
• 46:42
  Speaker 2: could be rough, it could be tough out here out here,
• 46:45
  Speaker 2: we're not even Yesterday Pastor preached on that that we
• 46:49
  Speaker 2: are supposed to be a community and there's no long
• 46:53
  Speaker 2: rangers right in the Kingdom, and that we need each
• 46:56
  Speaker 2: other to pray with each other, to confess our false
• 46:59
  Speaker 2: to win another and just to feel like we belong,
• 47:03
  Speaker 2: you know, And so hopefully you're getting it from your
• 47:06
  Speaker 2: home church. But we do have a segment here where
• 47:09
  Speaker 2: we meet in a life chat, we pray with each other,
• 47:11
  Speaker 2: we encourage each other, and we give out daily challenges. Now,
• 47:15
  Speaker 2: you can go to the hiss Hot Radio app, go
• 47:17
  Speaker 2: to the top left menu, hit the drop down, click
• 47:21
  Speaker 2: on podcasts, and then find the hiss Hot Radio podcast
• 47:25
  Speaker 2: Yours Truly, and then find the link that says Accountability Partner,
• 47:30
  Speaker 2: because you can go through the questions and the only
• 47:33
  Speaker 2: way it works is if we have integrity, right, because
• 47:36
  Speaker 2: the only person that we're really lying to is ourselves.
• 47:39
  Speaker 2: If we don't look at the word of God with honesty,
• 47:42
  Speaker 2: with integrity, allow the word of God to confront us.
• 47:46
  Speaker 2: And then at the end of that you can request
• 47:48
  Speaker 2: a follow up in either myself or someone from our
• 47:52
  Speaker 2: team will follow up with you if you need prayer,
• 47:55
  Speaker 2: if you need encouragement. That's what we are about here
• 47:59
  Speaker 2: on this podcast. We want to encourage you because we
• 48:03
  Speaker 2: know that the narrow path, it can be a difficult
• 48:06
  Speaker 2: path to walk on, but we want us to stay
• 48:09
  Speaker 2: on that path because this is the path to life.
• 48:12
  Speaker 2: And also we give daily challenges in the life chat,
• 48:16
  Speaker 2: and so today we want you to identify one difficult
• 48:21
  Speaker 2: area that in your life that you've been complaining about.
• 48:27
  Speaker 2: Right now, instead of complaining, pray over it every day
• 48:33
  Speaker 2: this week. That's your challenge. What's been difficult in your life?
• 48:38
  Speaker 2: What has it been difficult at work? Has there been
• 48:42
  Speaker 2: difficulties in your marriage and your finances? Pray about it.
• 48:47
  Speaker 2: Bring these difficulties before the Lord and ask God, what
• 48:52
  Speaker 2: are you teaching me through these lessons? God can be
• 48:56
  Speaker 2: teaching us something. We know that ultimately God is in control.
• 49:00
  Speaker 2: You know that God loves us and he's righteous and
• 49:03
  Speaker 2: all that he does, so there could be something in
• 49:06
  Speaker 2: us that he's teaching us. They share what you've learned
• 49:10
  Speaker 2: with your accountability partner. Right. Growth happens when we stay accountable,
• 49:17
  Speaker 2: when we connect with one another. And so hopefully you
• 49:21
  Speaker 2: have a person in your life that you can trust,
• 49:23
  Speaker 2: someone who's not gonna gossip about your business, someone now
• 49:27
  Speaker 2: you can call and they're gonna call you back, and
• 49:30
  Speaker 2: somebody that's just there for you. Right, That's what we're
• 49:35
  Speaker 2: you know we really need in our lives is we
• 49:37
  Speaker 2: need that community and so that's what the accountability is
• 49:41
  Speaker 2: all about. Now, for our next segment, we just want

• 51:48
  Speaker 2: ask Jeremiah after saying he had become weary running with
• 51:54
  Speaker 2: the men. Let me repeat that again. According to today's
• 51:59
  Speaker 2: past message, what did God ask Jeremiah after saying he
• 52:04
  Speaker 2: had become weary running with the men? Amen? So what
• 52:11
  Speaker 2: was basically guy's answer? How did he respawn to the
• 52:16
  Speaker 2: question in the first one?
• 52:22
  Speaker 6: The answer is how can you compete with horses?
• 52:27
  Speaker 2: And now boom, I take.

  Speaker 2: question and you heard the trivia takeover from missus his
• 53:26
  Speaker 2: hop she got the answer for so all right, time

  Speaker 2: for the next question. I mean in the next segment. See,
• 53:35
  Speaker 2: I'm all flabbergas in here. We want to give a

  Speaker 2: our YouTube as well as other platforms. But we're trying
• 54:47
  Speaker 2: to build up our YouTube audience. So look up his
• 54:49
  Speaker 2: Hot Nation on YouTube or just go to our website
• 54:52
  Speaker 2: his hot Nation dot com and you'll see. Now, I
• 54:55
  Speaker 2: believe it's amazing that we hear a lot about these
• 54:59
  Speaker 2: ap athletes, and sometimes we hear a lot of negative
• 55:03
  Speaker 2: things in the news. You know, these athletes shooting up
• 55:06
  Speaker 2: clubs and stuff like that, but you never really hear
• 55:10
  Speaker 2: about the chaplains behind the scenes who are ministering to
• 55:14
  Speaker 2: these pro players. Right, you don't hear about the pro
• 55:17
  Speaker 2: players who go to Bible study, or who go and
• 55:21
  Speaker 2: get prayer, or who go and get godly counsel. You know,
• 55:25
  Speaker 2: that's very rare. So I'm excited that the chaplains have
• 55:29
  Speaker 2: agreed to come on to his Hot Radio onto our
• 55:32
  Speaker 2: platform and share their experiences and things like that. So
• 55:36
  Speaker 2: if you love sports, specifically the NBA, or if you
• 55:41
  Speaker 2: know somebody in your family who loves following sports, invite
• 55:45
  Speaker 2: them to subscribe to our YouTube channel so they can
• 55:50
  Speaker 2: hear the stories from these amazing chaplains who've agreed to
• 55:56
  Speaker 2: come onto the podcast. And also August twenty ninth will
• 56:00
  Speaker 2: be at the Resort World. I will be DJing on
• 56:03
  Speaker 2: the ones and twos. It is open to the public.
• 56:06
  Speaker 2: It is a business mixer. We'll have our three sixty
• 56:09
  Speaker 2: booth there as well, and we'll have our daughter will
• 56:15
  Speaker 2: have some art to display during that event. We're trying
• 56:18
  Speaker 2: to get everything together and there be other businesses there.
• 56:22
  Speaker 2: The Mayor's supposed to show up. Supposed to be a
• 56:24
  Speaker 2: huge event, a huge community event. So if you are
• 56:28
  Speaker 2: in business or thinking about getting in business, one important
• 56:31
  Speaker 2: thing is to have a network, right Why don't you
• 56:34
  Speaker 2: connect with other people who are like minded, who have resources,
• 56:38
  Speaker 2: who could possibly share or help share information to help
• 56:42
  Speaker 2: you establish your business. And I believe in today's economy
• 56:46
  Speaker 2: the way to wealth is ownership. It's nice to be
• 56:50
  Speaker 2: able to work. I've been working with an organization for years,
• 56:53
  Speaker 2: but my heart, my two heart, is for ownership. And
• 56:57
  Speaker 2: this can you know, possible help you get to that
• 57:01
  Speaker 2: next level? Just something to consider, you know, I'm tired
• 57:05
  Speaker 2: of asking people when I can take a vacation, or
• 57:07
  Speaker 2: if somebody just wants to take money away from me
• 57:11
  Speaker 2: and deny me, you know, over time or something. You know,
• 57:16
  Speaker 2: that's what happens when you work for an organization. But
• 57:20
  Speaker 2: when you own it right, you don't have to deal
• 57:23
  Speaker 2: with those things. So coming out Resort World August twenty ninth,
• 57:27
  Speaker 2: it's going to be an all day event. You can
• 57:30
  Speaker 2: get more info on our website his hot nation dot com. Also,
• 57:40
  Speaker 2: we just want to let you know that his Hot
• 57:43
  Speaker 2: Nation is a nonprofit organization. We opened up a Christian
• 57:47
  Speaker 2: club back in twenty twelve, and our heart and desire
• 57:51
  Speaker 2: is a relaunch. We open the club. We need a
• 57:54
  Speaker 2: new headquarters. We have youth programs that we want to
• 57:58
  Speaker 2: get off the ground. We have concerts and events we
• 58:02
  Speaker 2: want to offer to the community once again, and we
• 58:07
  Speaker 2: need your support as a community, as a body. We
• 58:11
  Speaker 2: were looking for monthly donors and supporters and sponsors and volunteers.
• 58:17
  Speaker 2: Two dollars a month will help, five dollars a month.
• 58:21
  Speaker 2: Anything that the Lord puts on your heart to do
• 58:24
  Speaker 2: is all good ground. And the great thing about it
• 58:28
  Speaker 2: is that it's all a tax right off. If you're
• 58:31
  Speaker 2: looking for something to write off on your taxes and
• 58:36
  Speaker 2: you want to sew into good ground, check out his
• 58:39
  Speaker 2: hot Nation and our nonprofit website is his hotnation dot org.
• 58:45
  Speaker 2: Check out our nonprofit website so you can get more
• 58:48
  Speaker 2: information on that. With that, beloved, this is my time.
• 58:57
  Speaker 2: It's time for me to wrap up today's episode. We
• 59:00
  Speaker 2: appreciate everyone who took time out to kick it with us.
• 59:04
  Speaker 2: We ask it you like subscribe, share, let somebody know,
• 59:10
  Speaker 2: tell them to come meet us every day at eleven
• 59:12
  Speaker 2: o'clock Monday through Saturday at Pacific Standard time eleven am.
• 59:19
  Speaker 2: And I believe that they'll get encouraged and that they'll
• 59:22
  Speaker 2: get a lot of value out of it. But I
• 59:25
  Speaker 2: do have some closing comments as we close it out,
• 59:28
  Speaker 2: and then we will pray out together. Now as we
• 59:35
  Speaker 2: close today's study Jeremiah chapter twelve one through seventeen. Now
• 59:39
  Speaker 2: remember this life isn't always easy, and following Christ doesn't
• 59:45
  Speaker 2: exempt us from hardship or problems or situations. In fact,
• 59:50
  Speaker 2: sometimes it very challenges. We face our evidence that God
• 59:55
  Speaker 2: is preparing us for something greater. Man, I'm preaching to
• 59:59
  Speaker 2: myself right now now I've been going through the fire
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 2: and my wife has actually been my encouragement and my
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 2: accountability partner. When I want to stress out or try
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 2: to figure things out and things are just overwhelming, my
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 2: wife has been my anchor. She's like, look, God is
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 2: in control. That is your old master. You're under a
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 2: new master, which is the Prince of Peace. So come on,
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 2: get it together. So, yes, we're all going to go
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 2: through it right now. Jeremiah's questioned to God. He questioned
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 2: them because life didn't seem fair, right, and it didn't
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 2: seem fair that the wicked could prosper right. But instead
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 2: of giving him the answer that he wanted, he gave
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 2: him the perspective that he needed. And that perspective is
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 2: is that my grace is sufficient for you. Amen. So
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 2: if you're running with people and you're already exhausted, don't
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 2: lose heart. Art. God isn't finished with you. As matter
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 2: of fact, he's strengthening your faith so that one day
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 2: you would be able to run with the horses. That's
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 2: how he answered Jeremiah. That's encouraging, right, I can't wait
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 2: to run with the horses now. Don't allow disappointment to
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 2: become discouragement in our hearts, right, don't allow betrayal to
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 2: steal your purpose. Don't allow today's struggle to make you
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 2: forget about tomorrow's promise. That's what the enemy is trying
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 2: to do. He's trying to bring distraction into our lives
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 2: so that we can miss the ball when God throws
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 2: it to us. Right, and also, God's discipline is always
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 2: motivated by his love. He had to discipline his people,
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 2: but remember he did not forget to show mercy. His
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 2: mercy is always available to those who turn back. See,
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 2: we don't even have to be judged if we judge ourselves,
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 2: the Bible says, right, So we keep running your race,
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 2: stay faithful when no one else is watching us. Trust
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 2: God's timing even when you don't understand his methods. The
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 2: same God who called Jeremiah is the same God who
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 2: walks with us today. So we appreciate y'all. Let's go
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 2: ahead and close in prayer. Emily, Father, we just ask
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 2: Lord that you will give us a strength to keep
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 2: up with the horses, Oh God, we ask Father, God,
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 2: Oh Lord, in the midst of the fire, in the
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 2: midst of our situation. If we have strayed away from you,
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 2: Oh Lord, we return to you, Oh God. We know
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 2: that you're merciful. We know that you are loving, Oh God.
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 2: We ask Father God, Oh Lord, that you will have
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 2: your way Lord, and help us, Oh God, to put
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 2: our hearts into it, Lord, to really consider it and
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 2: take it to heart. Lord, Oh God, And to teach
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 2: us your ways. Oh Lord. You said to even the
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 2: Heathen nations around Israel, if they learn to call upon you,
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 2: Oh God, if they learned to be diligent and learn
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 2: your ways, they will be established. Oh God. The promises
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 2: for all of us. Lord, and we thank you Lord.
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 2: And if we ask God that you'll establish the families
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 2: that are represented those who tune into this podcast, establish
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 2: us as we learn your ways and walk in them.
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 2: We asked this in Jesus' name. Amen, and remember it's
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 2: not about us, It's all about the Christ in us.
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 2: See y'all.
