• 4:53
  Speaker 2: to you. Thank you for joining us. Hopefully you will

  Speaker 2: become an active member in our community and with that
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: being said, let's pray heaven a Father, we thank you
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: once again that you've allow on us to spend time
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: in your word. We pray Lord that Caesar will be planet.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: We pray Father, God, that your word will germinate in
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: our hearts. Help us to yield and be obedient, and
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: be open and to be transformed by your word and
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: by your spirit. O God, we all say you bless
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: every listener, Oh God, to this podcast, every follower, every subscriber.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: We ask Father God, that revival will break out, Father,
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: that you will use it to bring glory to your
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: name in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen. All right,
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: So we're chapter eight. You know, we just finished up Simon.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: Simony is the terminology his sin. He wanted to buy
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: the gift of the Holy Spirit, and you can't buy it.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: God is about relationship, He's about family. He is our
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: heavenly Father. God is love. He's a God of love.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: He's our loving, heavenly Father. He wants our hearts, he
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: wants our obedience, he wants our cooperation. Amen. Not just knowledge,
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: not just information. Doesn't want us just to be powerful people, right,
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: just to gain power, but he wants to gain our hearts,
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: the power will come. And so Peter judges man corrected him,
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: rebuked him. I should say, the Holy Spirit is the judge,
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: and it was actually grace. It was grace. He exposed
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: his heart. We need to ask God to expose our
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: hearts and to keep us on the right track. We
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: want to live a life that is pleasing to our
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: heavenly Father. Amen. So now we pick it back up.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: Stephan was a martyred, a great man of power. He
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: performed Milko signs of wonders. And Philip now is on
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: the scene, had the same spirit, had the same power.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: He was called the evangelists. And so we're gonna see
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: God working through him. Next, soul, let's jump into it
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: verse twenty five and it says, so then they had
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: testified and preached the word of the Lord. I mean,
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry. So when they have testified and preached the
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: word of the Lord, they returned to Jerusalem, preaching the
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: Gospel in many villages in Samaria. Now this is Peter
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: and John. I believe they came out. Philip was preaching
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: the word in Samaria. They sent the apostles out and
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: it was glorious. They went from village to village, preaching
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: the Gospel, the good News of Christ. Amen, hallelujah. Now
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: when Peter and John they just didn't return to Jerusalem.
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: They evangelized along the way on their way back to Jerusalem.
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: But what once was prejudice, the king's proclamation, They were
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: prejudice against these people. They did not want to have
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: dealings with this Amriitans, Amen, the Jewish nation. But now
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: they're proclaiming the gospel. And see grace. The grace of
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: God will transform our perspective of other people. Right the
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: same Samaritans the Jews once avoided, are now fields ready
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: for harvests. As Jesus said, Now, when God changes a heart,
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: he also changes the mission field. So this is beautiful,
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: especially in our nation with the history of racism and division.
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: It's powerful how the Gospel can transform and change a heart.
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: And now we are brothers and sisters Amen. Verse twenty six.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: Now an angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying,
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: arise and go towards the south along the road which
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza. This is desert. Amen.
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: Now that's interesting that an angel spoke to him and
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: gave him an instruction. Right now, Philip leaves revival for
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: the desert. Now, Philip was having great revival in Samaria.
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: They had received the word. Simon just got rebuked by Peter,
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: and Peter and John are going through village and village.
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: It's explosive, but right in the midst of it, he's
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: told to leave. And why was that? Because one soul
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: matters to God as much as one entire city being one.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: To the Gospel, the Bible says that he will leave
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: the ninety nine to save the one. Now check this out.
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: Obedience doesn't always make sense, like why would you leave
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: a perfectly good revival. Those people probably needed to be disciple,
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: They probably needed more input from Philip. But he was
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: sent to go out to the desert. Now, God will
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: sometimes move you from crowds to quiet, from a platform
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: to the pavement. Now, the desert was not God abandoning him.
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: It was not abandonment by God. But it was an assignment.
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: And I think of myself. I think of how I
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: was moved from the club, from impacting the entire city,
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: from having the news come out and the newspaper come
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: out and getting a lot of attention, to moving out
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: of the club, and there hasn't been a club like
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: that for about seven years, right, I think it's well
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: since twenty eighteen. We started in twenty twelve, we moved
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: out in twenty eighteen, and now it's twenty twenty five,
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: so there's been some time. It's like I've been out
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: on the backside of the desert. But it's been my
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: assignment and it's been my redirection. But in no way
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: do I feel abandoned. I feel preparation is what I feel.
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: Like.
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: Man, I'm gonna ride this until the wheels fall off.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: So he arose and went and behold a man of
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: Ethiopia and Inoch of great authority, right under a candice,
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: the Queen of the Ethiopians, who had charge of all
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: her treasury and had come to Jerusalem to worship. Now,
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: this Ethiopian man came to Jerusalem to worship the True
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: and Living God, and he had the treasure. He was
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: over the treasure of this queen. And of course we
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: know that now the Ethiopians are from Africa. It was
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: a wealthy nation back then, and this man wanted to
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: worship the True and Living God to Jerusalem. Now, this
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: man was a powerful man, he was wealthy, He was
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: a religious man. But he was still searching. He was
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: still researching, he was still looking. And I think of
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: the scripture where it says if you seek, you shall
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: find right. At least this man was looking, you know.
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: I go down to a minister at the juvenile detention
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: center and this last weekend, last Saturday, we wins. We
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: had a group of guys, young guys, and we were
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: talking during the class. And there's one I talked to
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: him a couple of times, you know, in the class,
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: and he doesn't believe the Bible. He thinks it's you know,
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: fake and made up. Like he feels like he can't
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: trust it. And I always try to tell him. I says, man,
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: have integrity with yourself, bro, Like read it, Like can
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: you describe one thing that is wrong, one contradiction? Like
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: what part do you disagree with? Like he doesn't even
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: read it, he's not searching. And then there's another young
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: guy in there who has read the Bible, like he's
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: actively reading it, and he says, as he reads it,
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: it comes to life. He sees things that he reads
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: happening in his life, and he's searching. And I encourage him, like,
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: keep searching, brother, keep searching because because if you seek,
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: you will find. There's a difference, you know, there's a
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: difference between a person who doesn't search that has all
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: these negative things to say about it versus somebody who's
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: actually searching, and maybe they're off or maybe they you know, God,
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: I believe that God will make sure that you will
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: find the truth, just like he did for this man.
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: This man was searching. Now, position doesn't equal peace, right,
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: this man had great position, but he was still searching.
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: You can have influence and still be empty on the inside.
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: Religion without relation leaves questions unanswered. When we say that again,
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: religion without the relationship with God will always leave you
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: with questions. Verse twenty eight. Let me see said I
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: back up a little bit. Okay, you had charge of
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: all her treasury and had come to Jerusalem to worship.
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: Was returning and sitting in his chariot. He was reading
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: Isaiah the prophet. Then the spirit said to Philip, go
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: near and overtake this chariot. That is just beautiful. Now
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: he had scripture, but he was lacking understanding. So this
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: man was really searching. He was in Jerusalem, he had
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: a copy of the scripture. So apparently he was able
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: to read either Hebrew or Greek, and might have been
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: Greek at this time. Now, owning a Bible doesn't guarantee revelation.
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: God sends teachers to help unlock truth. God sent Philip
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: to help him understand what he was reading. Then the
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: spirits said that Philip go near and overtake this chariot.
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: Now Philip was sensitive to the spirit's voice, and I
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: pray that that would be us. Amen, that our Father
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: will give us that same sensibility. The Holy Spirit still
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: speaks today. He still speaks to us, but the question
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: is already listening. Divine moments require spiritual awareness. Hallelujah. Let
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: me say that again. Divine moments require spiritual awareness, and
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: we need to add that to our prayer lists. Make
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: us more spiritually aware of your divine moments, Amen, Verse thirty.
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: So Philip rand to him and heard him reading the
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: prophet Isaiah, and said, do you understand what you are reading? Wow?
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: That's powerful. Now Philip asked a simple question, opening the
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: door for truth. Sometimes all you have to do is
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: ask someone a simple question. And I remember evangelizing when
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: I was working at the Horseshoe Hotel and Casino we
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: would have Bible studies in our lunch room, and one guy,
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: he was one of the guys who took the money
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: out of the slot machines. I forget what it was called.
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: He was sitting there and we were talking, and I
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: just asked him a question about aliens or something. We
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: were talking about alien aliens, and then that conversation opened
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: up the door to the gospel. I started witnessing to
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: him about Christ. He got saved, and he became a
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: brother in the For years, he became one of my
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: closest friends. But sometimes a simple question could open up
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: the door to witness, find something in common, find a
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: way to start a conversation and introduce truth. You see,
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: evangelism begins with humility, doesn't begin by arguments, trying to
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: argue a point with someone. Ask before you assume right.
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: He just asked him, do you understand what you're reading
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: in verse thirty one? And he said, how can I
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: unless someone guides me? And he asked Philip to come
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: up and sit with him. See how that just opened
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: up an amazing door. This is just beautiful. Amen. Now
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: God uses people to disciple people, and that's one of
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: the things that my heart has always been big on
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: That's why we do this podcast. You know, we call
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: it the Small Group on radio or even our Accountability
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: Partner segment. It's to help us in that way. I
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: can reach more people on this radio station that I
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: could possibly in person. So it furthers our reach. And
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: you may know people who go to church but are
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: still struggling with sin, well, I invite you to send
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: them this podcast. This app a man. It's just a
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: tool to help. And so God will use people to
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: disciple people. No one is mature enough to do this
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: on their own. Discipleship is relational. We're supposed to be
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: building relations with each other as brothers and sisters were family,
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: and we're supposed to help each other grow and fulfill
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: the destiny that God has in our lives. Amen. All right?
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: Thirty two and thirty three. The place in the scripture
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: which he read was this, he was led as a
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: sheep to the slaughter, and as a lamb before his
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: shearers is silent. So he opened not his mouth in
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: him in his humiliation is just was taken away. And
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: who will declare his generation for his life is taken
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: from the earth. Amen. Okay, Now this prophecy right here
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: was clearly pointing to Jesus Christ. Now the Old Testament
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: isn't separate from Christ, it reveals him. If you really
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: look closely in the Old Testament, you will see Jesus
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: all the way through the Word of God through the
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: Bible verse thirty four. So then the Enoch answered Philip
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: and said, I ask you, whom does this prophet say this?
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: Of himself or of some other man? And man? That
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: is a beautiful question. Now this was a divine setup
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: right here. Right God prepares hearts before he sends messengers. Hallelujah.
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: That's something we need to pray in a daily basis. Like, God,
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: show us every heart that you've prepared to hear the Gospel,
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: to hear the truth so that we can share your word. Hallelujah.
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: These are all evangelistic. Like if you break this down,
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: Philip is the evangelist, and I believe that God has
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: called me with this gift to evangelize, and this gives
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: us the blueprint. This gives us a breakdown. As a
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: matter of fact, I'm gonna put something together or evangelists
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: to how we he could win our neighbors just by
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: this interaction with Philip. Amen, now where we're at thirty
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: thirty five. Then Philip opened his mouth. You know, we
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: got to open our mouths, right, we have to speak,
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: and beginning at this scripture, preached Jesus to him. Wow,
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: I wish I was in that chariot. I would have
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: loved to hear that message. Amen. Now Jesus is always
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: the center of true preaching. Amen. You got to keep
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: the main thing the main thing, and it's Jesus. Now
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: you can start where people are, but always lead them
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: to Christ. Amen. Now where we're at verse thirty six. Now,
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: as they went down the road, they came to some water,
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: and the Ena said, see here is water. What hinders
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: me from being baptized? Now, faith responds quickly when truth
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: is received. You can tell when someone receives the truth
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: by their response to it. And I remember when I
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: got saved. I was at this Bible study and the
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: woman she was teaching out of the Book of Revelation,
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: her name is Benita. Shout out to our sister Benita.
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: And when she got done, she asked a question, do
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: you want to receive Christ? And I was like, who wouldn't.
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: I did not hesitate, I did not delay. I received
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: him right there on the spot. Amen, just like this
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: man faith like he responded quickly. Now delayed obedience off
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: and reveals divided hearts. This man was ready. You cannot
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: have a divided heart. You need to pray against that. Amen.
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: Delayed obedience is also equal to disobedience. Thirty seven. Then
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: Philip said, if you believe with all your heart, you may.
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: Now you gotta confess confession seeds baptism. Salvation is personal.
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: You must believe, not inherit faith. He had to make
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: his confession that he believed in Christ before he was
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: even able to touch the water. And he answered and said,
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. Hallelujah.
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: Those who call upon the name of the Lord shall
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: be saved. That is a promised a man. So he
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: commanded the chariot to stand still, and both Philip and
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: the enach went down into the water, and he baptized him. Hallelujah.
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: The baptism was immediate. Public obedience follows genuine belief, and
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: man he proclaimed publicly when he was baptized that he's
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: putting his faith in trust in Jesus Christ. Now, when
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: they came up out of the water. The spirit of
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: the Lord caught up Philip away, so that the Enoch
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: saw him no more, and he went on his way rejoicing. Hallelujah.
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: Now Philip disappeared, but joy remained. Your joy doesn't depend
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: on the messenger. It rests on Christ alone, hallelujah. Sometimes
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: we feel that we, especially me, I've done this early
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: in my ministry. I feel that I have to be
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: there every step of the way in order for someone
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: to like, really mature in Christ. Because sometimes that's not
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: your I ain't. All you have to do is share
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: the message and bam, your job is done. You gotta
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: point them to Christ.
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: It looks like you lost another one, and.
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: I don't know. Maybe sometimes pastors struggle with this. Sometimes
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: pastors have to step out of the way and allow
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: their sheep to grow in the Lord. I know this happened,
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: this has happened to me. But it's not about the messenger.
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: It's not all about mister his hot his hop needs
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: to move out of the way and point you to
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: Christ to develop your own personal relationship with Him Amen,
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: Verse forty. But Philip was found in as Oltus. As Oltus,
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: I think that's how you pronounce it and passing through.
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: He preached in all the cities until he came to Cesseria.
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: Now I don't know where this disappearing annointinging came from,
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: but man, I would love to walk in that annointing
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: when it'd be great to just disappear in front of
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: people and appear somewhere else, Like God give me this
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: gift of disappearing, Like that's amazing. And this Enoch was
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: like just he was. He didn't say nothing about this
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: man disappearing like I would have been tripping. I mean,
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: I would have been joyful. But I'm like, WHOA. I
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: don't know. Is there posting a life chat? Is there
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: anyone else in the Bible that you can think of
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: who disappeared like that? I mean, of course Jesus did
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: plenty of times, but Old Testament, New Testament, who else disappeared?
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: I want to know. Maybe we can do a study
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: on that and figure out that gift. Amen. But Philip
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: kept preaching whatever God sent him. Right, Faithfulness isn't about
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: our location. Faithfulness is all about our obedience. Amen. All right,
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: let's go to a quick great y'all.
• 32:25
  Speaker 4: To the light of Las Vegas. This is the hiss
• 32:29
  Speaker 4: hop radio show.
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: Letting go has never been an easy thing for me.
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: I'll be truthful. Sometimes I'm just called to do some
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: things that feel unusual. Challenges they come my way, some
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: things I don't feel used to. I could take the
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: easy way, or I can make this fruit.
• 32:55
  Speaker 5: I'm gonna break this down, mikey deep, but that won't drown.
• 32:57
  Speaker 5: I'll complete without a doubt what is planned for me.
• 33:00
  Speaker 5: I'm down, but it gets so hard try to get around.
• 33:01
  Speaker 5: But it seemed too large. God told me he won't
• 33:03
  Speaker 5: let me fall. God to me, it's biggest storm. He'll
• 33:06
  Speaker 5: be dead with open arms.
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: He says, She say, he said, she said.
• 33:08
  Speaker 5: I can't let that turn me around. I'm breaking curses down, family,
• 33:12
  Speaker 5: I ain't hurting now. Nights have not been perfect now,
• 33:14
  Speaker 5: but I still walk in joy. Y'all found, I still
• 33:16
  Speaker 5: walk on wainy days. The storm I set is over
• 33:18
  Speaker 5: now comes back from time to time. But no, it's
• 33:21
  Speaker 5: not gonna blow me down. This been a minute, literally different,
• 33:24
  Speaker 5: but I'm gifted and I still stand on now.
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: I'm standing still.
• 33:27
  Speaker 5: The light is in me, so I've been shining, and
• 33:29
  Speaker 5: there y'all see it. I'm sure not empty.
• 33:31
  Speaker 3: I'll save my flaws in every song. It's no use
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: of for sending. I've been so sick of sinning.
• 33:36
  Speaker 5: I've been so sick of mending.
• 33:37
  Speaker 4: Make my heart.
• 33:38
  Speaker 5: When people break it, I get too offended. So God,
• 33:41
  Speaker 5: just leave me wherever you want me at see. I
• 33:43
  Speaker 5: don't care what they singing. I move with that and
• 33:45
  Speaker 5: feel it's never been an easy thing for me.
• 33:48
  Speaker 4: I'll be truthful.
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: Sometimes I'm just called to do some things that feel unusual.
• 33:52
  Speaker 3: Challenges they come my way. Some things I don't feel
• 33:54
  Speaker 3: used to. I could take the easy way, or I can.
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: Make this flood and go.
• 33:58
  Speaker 3: It's never been an easy thing for me.
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: I'll be truthful.
• 34:01
  Speaker 3: Sometimes I'm just called to do some things that feel unusual.
• 34:04
  Speaker 3: Challenge just they come my way. Some things I don't.
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: Feel used to.
• 34:07
  Speaker 3: I could take the easy fail I can make this fruit.
• 34:09
  Speaker 5: Had to get broken down just to come together now,
• 34:12
  Speaker 5: had to lose myself and lose my energy.
• 34:14
  Speaker 4: I dropped my crown, promise you.
• 34:16
  Speaker 3: I drop my smile just to get.
• 34:17
  Speaker 5: It turned around, just to find myself in my identity,
• 34:20
  Speaker 5: can find my sound. Now I feel that's out of balance.
• 34:23
  Speaker 5: I can't go back to that girl. I keep my
• 34:25
  Speaker 5: smile I keep my mental intact. I keep my feet
• 34:27
  Speaker 5: on my path. Jealousy got off my back and this
• 34:30
  Speaker 5: is deepening wrap. I can't keep moving ahead of me.
• 34:33
  Speaker 5: I was moving too fast, and now why I sid

  Speaker 5: table before my enemies. It's not a fantasy.

  Speaker 2: I see my past.

  Speaker 5: Thank God, is history.
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: We can't get to me.
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: I'm moving forward.
• 34:50
  Speaker 5: I gotta do some things that's hard to do. If
• 34:52
  Speaker 5: God tell me to do it, can't argue against the rules.
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: I'm doing it.
• 34:56

  Speaker 4: You are listening to the light of Las Vegas. This
• 35:32
  Speaker 4: is the Hiss Hop Radio Show.
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: All right, all right, we are back from the break
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: that is a sister kid Lee. Check her out, man.
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: She is definitely on fire for God. A young girl,
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: she was delivered from a life of homosexuality. She's on
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: fire for God. And I believe she just changed her
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: name as well. So check her out, support her music,
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: let her know you heard her on his hot radio show.
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: All right, that's amazing, brother Philip. The evangelists definitely want
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: to examine his life. Check out what God has done
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: through him. It's kind of a personal thing for me
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: because I know that I'm called to be an evangelist
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: as well. Amen, we need to reach our community. Hallelujah.
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: All right, it's time for our other segments on this
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: other half of the podcast, the Accountability Partner. This is
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: where we connect on the discipleship level. There may be
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: sins that you're struggling with. We all struggle, right, We
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: all struggle, and God knows that. God knows He knew
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: that we would struggle. That's why you put together this
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: plan of discipleship, and it works if we're honest with
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: each other. You got to be honest with ourselves. If
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: you don't have integrity for no one else, have integrity
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: with yourself. Look at your life honestly right, I don't
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: care if you're in Christ or if you're not in Christ.
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: Look at your life and look at the path that
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: you are going down. Sometimes we need help, you know,
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: we need let accountability partner. Some things are not going
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: to get over until we get agreement in prayer, until
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: we get some wise counsel, we get deliverance. That's what
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: the local church is for the local body. I encourage
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: you to to get plugged in, to join a fellowship,
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: ask the Holy Spirit to lead you to one. But
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: not just sit in the crowds. You know, you gotta
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: allow someone to mentor you to pour in to disciple
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: you amen, just like that movie The Forge. And so
• 38:20
