Speaker 1: Acts chapter twenty five. We're starting a whole new chapter today,
3:29
Speaker 1: So grab your bibles. You know, pass in your highlighters,
3:33
Speaker 1: and let's go before our Heavenly Father in prayer. Heavenly Father,
3:39
Speaker 1: we come before you today. We thank you, Father for
3:42
Speaker 1: another opportunity of God to be on this platform, another
3:47
Speaker 1: opportunity to get right with you, another opportunity to reach
3:51
Speaker 1: other souls, to change destinies, change hearts, to change lives,
3:57
Speaker 1: and to reach as far as we can. We ask
4:02
Speaker 1: Holy Spirit that you will take over this podcast, that
4:06
Speaker 1: you will give us revelation and understanding. We pray for
4:10
Speaker 1: open hearts and minds, Oh God, to receive the truth today,
4:15
Speaker 1: and we thank you in the name of Jesus. Hey man,
4:21
Speaker 1: all right, y'all, so hopefully you had enough time to
4:25
Speaker 1: grab your bibles and turn to Acts twenty one. We
4:28
Speaker 1: are gonna start off in verse one. I mean Acts
4:33
Speaker 1: twenty five, Verse one. Hey man, let me get my
4:37
Speaker 1: brain working here, okay. So I want to give a
4:41
Speaker 1: little background. Paul has been in prison for two years now.
4:51
Speaker 1: He went before Felix. He ministered to Felix concerning judgment,
4:59
Speaker 1: righteousness and self control, and Phoenix was convicted by the
5:06
Speaker 1: Holy Spirit. As a matter of fact, he was trembling
5:10
Speaker 1: in fear and he held off on the conviction. He
5:13
Speaker 1: said for a more convenient time he would deal with this.
5:20
Speaker 1: But according to scripture, I don't read a chapter and
5:26
Speaker 1: asked where he came back, where that convenient time ever
5:30
Speaker 1: came up. So it's important to know that when God
5:36
Speaker 1: is calling, you respond immediately. Don't push away the conviction
5:42
Speaker 1: of the Holy Spirit, because we never know if we
5:45
Speaker 1: have another chance. For some of us, this is our
5:49
Speaker 1: last and final opportunity to get it right with the Lord. Amen.
5:55
Speaker 1: So we need to develop a yes. We need to
5:58
Speaker 1: say yes to the Holy Spirit. You need to say
6:01
Speaker 1: yes to Jesus and the Father. Amen, hallelujah. And so
6:08
Speaker 1: two years later Felix was replaced and he wanted to
6:18
Speaker 1: do the Jews a favor. He was more interested in
6:22
Speaker 1: politics than righteousness, and so he left Paul bound for
6:26
Speaker 1: two years. And so now comes another leader, Festus, who's
6:33
Speaker 1: going to take over this case. And that's where we
6:37
Speaker 1: are in the Book of Acts, chapter twenty five, So
6:40
Speaker 1: verse one, we're looking at new leadership. And it says, now,
6:45
Speaker 1: when Festus had come to the province, after three days,
6:51
Speaker 1: he went up from cesarea to Jerusalem. Now let's stop
6:56
Speaker 1: right there. Real quick Festus is the new governor and
7:08
Speaker 1: immediately he begins to handle political matters. And he was
7:16
Speaker 1: quick to move to Jerusalem because he desired to connect
7:21
Speaker 1: with the Jewish leaders over there, to build relationships with
7:27
Speaker 1: the Jewish leaders. Now, how many of us have had
7:34
Speaker 1: new managers and new supervisors coming to your place of
7:40
Speaker 1: employment or business or whatever could be ministry, and it
7:46
Speaker 1: seems like they pick up the same issues that the
7:51
Speaker 1: other leaders passed on, right, because they communicate, they passed
7:57
Speaker 1: down things. And sometimes I hope for a leader who
8:02
Speaker 1: will not just lead off of rumors, off of what
8:07
Speaker 1: other people say, that they will look into the matter
8:11
Speaker 1: themselves and build their own relationship with their people that
8:17
Speaker 1: their subordinates. Right. I believe if people have their own
8:24
Speaker 1: connection one on one with the people they lead, they
8:28
Speaker 1: will be less prone to listen to rumors and backbite
8:33
Speaker 1: and gossip is what it truly is a man and
8:37
Speaker 1: make righteous judgments and even if a person is struggling.
8:41
Speaker 1: I've had one supervisor who said that his heart was
8:45
Speaker 1: to turn things around, like work with that employee and
8:49
Speaker 1: see how we can make improvements instead of just passing
8:57
Speaker 1: on dysfunction to one leader to another and sadly, we're
9:05
Speaker 1: gonna see that. He continues. He picks up where the
9:10
Speaker 1: other leader left off and verse two. Then the high
9:13
Speaker 1: priests and the chief men of the Jews informed him
9:19
Speaker 1: against Paul. Now here's the backbite, the gossip. Here's all
9:24
Speaker 1: the stuff coming right back up. Two years later, right,
9:27
Speaker 1: and they petitioned him, asking a favor against him, that
9:35
Speaker 1: he would summon him to Jerusalem while they'd lay in
9:40
Speaker 1: ambush along the road to kill him. Now here's where
9:49
Speaker 1: politics step in. They want him to do them a favor.
9:55
Speaker 1: They do not wait, they step right in and they
9:58
Speaker 1: ask for this favor. And it was against him. They
10:03
Speaker 1: wanted him to come to Jerusalem. Right. Remember it was
10:09
Speaker 1: God's plan for him to go to Rome. But this
10:12
Speaker 1: was their desire, and Satan put that desire in their hearts.
10:19
Speaker 1: Satan did not want the message to go to Rome. Now,
10:25
Speaker 1: remember the forty men who made a vow or was
10:29
Speaker 1: it forty plus men? They made a vow that they
10:32
Speaker 1: would not eat or drink until they killed Paul. And
10:35
Speaker 1: they did this same thing to the commander in a
10:41
Speaker 1: couple of chapters earlier, where Paul's nephew heard the plot
10:47
Speaker 1: and exposed it and God met them with was it
10:51
Speaker 1: like four hundred and seventy soldiers against forty assassins, forty murderers.
10:58
Speaker 1: They were out gunned, you can say, and look at
11:03
Speaker 1: God's protection, and man how he protests. God does not
11:08
Speaker 1: play about his children. Hallelujah. Now they want to lay
11:12
Speaker 1: weighting ambush. Now we don't see anything here where anybody's
11:16
Speaker 1: not gonna eat or drink. I think they learned their
11:19
Speaker 1: lesson two years ago. And who knows if those brothers
11:23
Speaker 1: they probably broke their vows most likely, or they starved
11:27
Speaker 1: to death and they're like, uh uh, we're gonna do
11:31
Speaker 1: the same plot, but we're not making that vow. That's
11:34
Speaker 1: a wisdom first for all. But Fesus answered that Paul
11:40
Speaker 1: should be kept in Cessareea and that he himself was
11:46
Speaker 1: going there shortly. Now, look at Festus. He had no
11:51
Speaker 1: idea about the plot. But his response right here protects Paul.
11:59
Speaker 1: And this is God's intervention, this is God's protection over him.
12:06
Speaker 1: Now he is this. Festus is not a believer at
12:10
Speaker 1: this moment. But his response was like, no, we're gonna
12:17
Speaker 1: keep him in cessarea. That protected Paul. He didn't know that.
12:22
Speaker 1: Now it's interesting to me that he responded this way
12:27
Speaker 1: because when we leave, as we keep reading in this chapter,
12:33
Speaker 1: just a couple of verses later, it says that Festus
12:37
Speaker 1: wanted to do the Jews a favor and asked Paul
12:40
Speaker 1: if he wanted to go to Jerusalem. So it's like
12:44
Speaker 1: people can be wishy washy, right, he was motivated by politics,
12:50
Speaker 1: But right here he says no, and that was God's protection,
12:56
Speaker 1: and that right there defeated their plot to ambush him.
13:03
Speaker 1: So I believe it's amazing how many ways God will
13:07
Speaker 1: protect his people. Verse five. Therefore, he said, let those
13:12
Speaker 1: who have authority among you go down with me and
13:17
Speaker 1: accuse this man, to see if there is any fault
13:21
Speaker 1: in him. So here we go again. We did this
13:24
Speaker 1: two years ago, and can you like just see how
13:31
Speaker 1: persistent this persecution is. Two years later, they still want
13:36
Speaker 1: to kill this man. They're still coming up with accusations. Now,
13:40
Speaker 1: I don't see. In the last episode we talked about,
13:43
Speaker 1: they hired a professional accuser and they still couldn't get
13:49
Speaker 1: nothing to stick. The problem is they have to exaggerate
13:54
Speaker 1: because they have no proof. Verse six. And when he
13:59
Speaker 1: had remain among them more than ten days, he went
14:04
Speaker 1: down to Cessarea, and the next day, sitting on the
14:09
Speaker 1: judgment seat, he commanded Paul to be brought now here.
14:14
Speaker 1: We are a brand new leader and he's got to
14:17
Speaker 1: deal with this situation right away. When he had come
14:25
Speaker 1: the Jews who had come down from Jerusalem stood about
14:30
Speaker 1: and laid many serious complaints against Paul. So now they
14:36
Speaker 1: have many serious complaints against Paul, which they could not prove.
14:44
Speaker 1: I'm like, what in the world, what are y'all doing?
14:48
Speaker 1: Y'all can't prove anything. See, when you stand on truth,
14:52
Speaker 1: you don't have to exaggerate. Right, when you're standing on truth,
14:57
Speaker 1: you don't have to exaggerate. These guys are coming up
15:02
Speaker 1: with even more serious complaints that they cannot prove. I mean,
15:11
Speaker 1: it's it's kind of sad because like, look at human nature,
15:17
Speaker 1: look at how the carnal mind works. Right, when you're
15:24
Speaker 1: not spiritually minded, when God doesn't touch your mind, when
15:28
Speaker 1: God doesn't open up your eyes to understanding and wisdom
15:33
Speaker 1: and righteousness and judgment, we are left in darkness and
15:38
Speaker 1: we It's like, this doesn't make any sense. At what
15:41
Speaker 1: point do you realize you're exaggerating something you've got no proof,
15:47
Speaker 1: Like you don't have a leg to stand on. And
15:52
Speaker 1: Paul in verse eight, while he answered for himself, neither
15:57
Speaker 1: against the law of the Jews, nor against the Temple,
16:02
Speaker 1: nor against Caesar, have I offended in anything at all?
16:08
Speaker 1: Paul was innocent. He touches everything. He touches the religious
16:14
Speaker 1: world with the Jews, against the Temple. Now he's talking
16:19
Speaker 1: to political world with Caesar. He's like, I did not
16:25
Speaker 1: do anything at all to anybody. Now, Paul didn't have
16:30
Speaker 1: to exaggerate. Paul is just staying stating the truth, and
16:34
Speaker 1: Paul is staying consistent. When you stand on truth, truth
16:39
Speaker 1: is consistent. First, not Professus wanting to do the Jews
16:44
Speaker 1: of favor. Now, I spoke this earlier a few minutes ago.
16:51
Speaker 1: How he's gonna want to turn and give the Jews
16:56
Speaker 1: a favor. This is the heart of politics, answered Paul,
17:02
Speaker 1: and said, are you willing to go up to Jerusalem
17:06
Speaker 1: and there be judged before me? Concerning these things? Now,
17:11
Speaker 1: I don't think Festus knew the plot. Remember the Jews,
17:17
Speaker 1: the Jewish leader suggested that this would be done, but
17:22
Speaker 1: under the context of a favor. This is a political move.
17:28
Speaker 1: Sometimes leader leaders under political pressure, they want to do
17:34
Speaker 1: the popular things they want to do, the things that
17:38
Speaker 1: wouldn't make the crowd like them temporarily or make themselves
17:44
Speaker 1: look good in front of a certain group of people.
17:48
Speaker 1: And the problem of this is that righteousness and judgment
17:52
Speaker 1: goes out the window. Right, So be careful what leaders
17:59
Speaker 1: we choose, what leaders we follow, or even who we
18:03
Speaker 1: vote for in our government, because they all have this temptation.
18:08
Speaker 1: They all have the pressure to make political decisions that
18:16
Speaker 1: will totally go against the Bible and the Word of
18:19
Speaker 1: God because they want to do favors for certain people groups.
18:25
Speaker 1: And we see it right here in the scripture. And
18:29
Speaker 1: he doesn't even know that. He's trying to set up
18:34
Speaker 1: Paul for another ambush or a plot. And just look
18:40
Speaker 1: at the enemy. I believe that the enemy was the
18:45
Speaker 1: inspiration behind that thought. And that shows us in spiritual
18:51
Speaker 1: warfare to guard our minds. The enemy is able to
18:55
Speaker 1: plant filing, wicked thoughts in our hearts that would get
19:01
Speaker 1: us to get out of the will of God. And
19:05
Speaker 1: we can see this plan out right now. This whole
19:08
Speaker 1: thing is spiritual. Going back to Jerusalem. Going back to Jerusalem,
19:14
Speaker 1: there was a temptation here. Now look at how Paul responds.
19:18
Speaker 1: So Paul said, I stand at Caesar's judgment seat where
19:24
Speaker 1: I ought to be judged. Now Paul doesn't waiver. Now,
19:29
Speaker 1: Remember Jesus spoke to Paul and told him that he
19:36
Speaker 1: will go to Rome and testify of him. Right, So
19:41
Speaker 1: Paul knew the heart and the plan of God. So
19:44
Speaker 1: Paul was not persuaded, persuaded right to compromise God's will.
19:53
Speaker 1: Paul stood ten tones down. Now, how many of us
19:57
Speaker 1: knowing that God gave us a w word. God revealed
20:03
Speaker 1: to us his will and his purpose for his search
20:07
Speaker 1: and situation for a certain situation. But people spoke to us,
20:15
Speaker 1: People came to us. People wanted us to change our
20:20
Speaker 1: minds and change our outlook, changed our decisions and our thoughts.
20:27
Speaker 1: And if we would have listened to them, we would
20:32
Speaker 1: have walked right out of God's will in God's plan
20:35
Speaker 1: for our lives. And sadly, beloved, my testimony is I
20:40
Speaker 1: have I've done that. I've listened to the complaints of people,
20:46
Speaker 1: and I have not done I know what God has
20:49
Speaker 1: wanted me to do in certain situations. Because of that,
20:54
Speaker 1: and Paul knew the plot from before. Right. I believe
20:59
Speaker 1: that Paul was a very intelligent man. And I believe
21:03
Speaker 1: that Paul remembered two years ago they tried the same thing.
21:08
Speaker 1: Two years ago. They tried to get him to go
21:11
Speaker 1: to Jerusalem, and they ploted in ambush. And I believe
21:16
Speaker 1: Paul knew exactly what was going on. So as a
21:20
Speaker 1: Roman citizen, he has the right to appeal to Caesar.
21:27
Speaker 1: To the Jews, I have done no wrong, as you
21:32
Speaker 1: very well know. Look at Paul, standing ten toes down.
21:37
Speaker 1: He told the leader you very well know, like everyone knows,
21:43
Speaker 1: that Paul is innocent. What does this remind you of?
21:47
Speaker 1: This is exactly how they treated Jesus a man Verse eleven.
21:54
Speaker 1: For if I am an offender or have committed anything
21:58
Speaker 1: deserving of death, I do not object to dying. But
22:04
Speaker 1: if there is nothing in these things which these men
22:08
Speaker 1: accuse me, no one can deliver me to them. I
22:13
Speaker 1: appealed to Caesar. Come on, Paul. Now that's a man's
22:19
Speaker 1: man right there. Paul was one of my heroes in
22:24
Speaker 1: the New Testiny. First of all, he's like, look, let's
22:29
Speaker 1: man up. I am not afraid to die. If I
22:33
Speaker 1: did anything deserving to death, let's get on with it.
22:37
Speaker 1: I don't object to it, even in I can't speak
22:39
Speaker 1: of the scripture. Paul says that to the part is better,
22:45
Speaker 1: but it's necessary for me to stay for your sake.
22:48
Speaker 1: Paul had a taste of heaven. Paul knew what was
22:54
Speaker 1: a waiting there. He knew that there was a better world,
22:57
Speaker 1: a better life. Paul y All knew that nothing in
23:01
Speaker 1: this temporary world is worth holding on to. Nothing in
23:07
Speaker 1: this temporary world is worth missing the kingdom and missing
23:13
Speaker 1: our relationship with God. So think about your life. Are
23:20
Speaker 1: you storing up treasures in heaven? Are you investing in
23:24
Speaker 1: your eternity? Are you keeping your commitment with God to
23:32
Speaker 1: meet him every day in prayer? Are you keeping your
23:35
Speaker 1: commitment with God, studying your word every day? Or are
23:42
Speaker 1: you easily distracted by this world getting busy paying bills,
23:48
Speaker 1: going to work and guess what, those bills are gonna
23:51
Speaker 1: come every month. They're not going away. And the way
23:56
Speaker 1: society is, they got us busy. We gotta work two
24:00
Speaker 1: or three jobs now to pay our bills. But on
24:04
Speaker 1: that day of judgment, when you meet God face to face,
24:11
Speaker 1: what are you gonna have to show for your eternal destiny?
24:17
Speaker 1: Did you build make your bed in heaven or did
24:21
Speaker 1: you make your bed in hell, and that's the plot
24:25
Speaker 1: of the enemy. And Paul's like, look, this world is temporary.
24:30
Speaker 1: This world doesn't mean nothing to me. Hey, let's do it.
24:35
Speaker 1: But I am not going to allow anyone to put
24:40
Speaker 1: me in their hands to deliver me to them. I
24:42
Speaker 1: appeal to Caesar. So he uses his Roman citizen right
24:48
Speaker 1: to appeal to the highest court. It's almost like going
24:52
Speaker 1: to the supreme Court. And the Romans had this privilege
24:59
Speaker 1: Verse twelve, that bless this. When he had conferred with
25:02
Speaker 1: the council, answered, you have appealed to Caesar. To Caesar,
25:08
Speaker 1: you shall go now. At this point the decision is final.
25:15
Speaker 1: At this point, the will of God is a go.
25:21
Speaker 1: The door has been opened for the perfect plan of God.
25:26
Speaker 1: Jesus wanted this the whole time, and now it is done.
25:32
Speaker 1: It is accomplished. Sometimes God will use pressure to get
25:40
Speaker 1: his will and his plans accomplished. Even though Paul testified
25:49
Speaker 1: in Jerusalem, as I read the scriptures in the Book
25:55
Speaker 1: of Acts, the Holy Spirit was always telling Paul to
26:00
Speaker 1: lee Jerusalem. He told him to go from this place,
26:05
Speaker 1: and remember there is a church there, there are believers there. James,
26:12
Speaker 1: the brother of Jesus, was there. He was the pastor
26:15
Speaker 1: of the Jerusalem Church. God had a witness. God had
26:21
Speaker 1: a presence in Jerusalem. But he had another plan for
26:26
Speaker 1: Paul to go to the Gentiles. All right, bro, love it.
26:33
Speaker 1: Let's take a quick break.
26:36
Speaker 3: You are listening to the light of Las Vegas. This
26:40

Speaker 1: As we were going through the Book of Acts, our
30:26
Speaker 1: brother Paul is going from one situation to the next.
30:31
Speaker 1: But God is a keeper. Amen, hallelujah. Don't let your
30:37
Speaker 1: situation get you down, don't let it discourage you. Seek

Speaker 1: will be fulfilling God's purpose. If you stay faithful. Amen.
30:58
Speaker 1: All right, Accountability Partner segment, we give you a challenge
31:05
Speaker 1: every day to call your accountability partner to pray together,
31:09
Speaker 1: to agree together in prayer, because there's power in agreement.
31:16
Speaker 1: But you have to have integrity. You have to allow
31:19
Speaker 1: the word of God to minister to your heart if
31:23
Speaker 1: you need to be corrected, if you need to make adjustments.
31:26
Speaker 1: The whole point is, we turn from sin and we
31:29
Speaker 1: turn to God. We go to God with those struggles.
31:33
Speaker 1: We go to God. We ask him for grace to
31:36
Speaker 1: change sinful habits and sinful practices, sinful patterns, anything that's
31:43
Speaker 1: got SI in in it. We take it to God
31:46
Speaker 1: to get cleansed so that we can come home right,
31:51
Speaker 1: we can make it to heaven. That's the whole point.
31:56
Speaker 1: It's a matter of life and death. Encourage you to
32:00
Speaker 1: find a good, faithful accountability partner, someone who believes in
32:04
Speaker 1: the words, someone who lives it out, someone who has
32:07
Speaker 1: some spiritual victories under their belts where they can encourage you.
32:12
Speaker 1: And as you do, reach out to them and ask
32:16
Speaker 1: your partner, am I standing firm in truth? When pressure rises? Amen?
32:24
Speaker 1: Let that be the topic and the challenges do not
32:29
Speaker 1: fold under pressure. Stand on truth even when it is uncomfortable. Amen.
32:37
Speaker 1: You got to stand on truth even when people don't understand.
32:41
Speaker 1: The worst thing you can do is encourage a person
32:45
Speaker 1: who's in a life of sin. I can't make you
32:49
Speaker 1: comfortable in your sin. I can't tell you God understands.
32:53
Speaker 1: I can't tell you to continue. I can't tell sometimes
32:58
Speaker 1: I to love. We got to confront people. They might
33:01
Speaker 1: lose a relationship, but they will respect you for it later,
33:05
Speaker 1: once they finally come to their senses. Right, Lil says,
33:09
Speaker 1: the brother is born for adversity, and the kisses of
33:13
Speaker 1: enemies are deceitful. Right, warch out for people who flatter
33:19
Speaker 1: you all the time, and they're not. They're afraid to
33:23
Speaker 1: tell you about yourself. Right, I tell you the truth, Amen,
33:30

38:21
Speaker 1: for showing up to His Hot Radio podcast. I got
38:26
Speaker 1: some closing remarks, So as we get out of here.
38:30
Speaker 1: Pressure doesn't mean you're losing at all. Right, sometimes it
38:36
Speaker 1: means you're being positioned. God is putting you in a
38:41
Speaker 1: greater position to fulfill purpose. Now, Paul, he appealed to Caesar,
38:50
Speaker 1: and he also stepped into prophecy at the same time,
38:57
Speaker 1: because Jesus said that you will go. That's where you
39:00
Speaker 1: will go. It was already prophesied. Right, So stand your
39:05
Speaker 1: ground because God's plan is bigger than your current situation.
39:14
Speaker 1: And we said that again. God's plan is bigger than
39:19
Speaker 1: your current situation. To stay faithful, stay bold, and stay ready.
