• 3:12
  Speaker 3: this platform. Father God, I pray, Father God, that our
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: time together will encourage one another. I pray Father God
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: for everyone under the sign of my voice, that they
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: will have a blessed day today. Father, I pray for
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: those who don't know you, those who are just listening
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: out of curiosity. I pray for the conviction of the
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: Holy Spirit, Oh Lord, to penetrate their hearts of God,
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: and that they will make an immediate decision of God
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: and Father. Forgive us Lord for every time we ignored conviction,
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: every time we've delayed our repentance. We ask O God,
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: Oh Lord, that we will get right with you immediately
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: and not delay or put our obedience off in any
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: areas in Jesus' name. Amen. All right, So we are
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: in a Book of Acts, chapter twenty four. We're gonna
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: finish chapter twenty four today.
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: It looks like.
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: We're rapidly getting close to the end of the Book
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: of Acts. I tell you, this has been an amazing ride,
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: great insights, great understanding, going through the Word of God together.
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: This is a blessing. Amen. And so in this episode,
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: we're gonna see Paul still in court. Paul goes before Felix,
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: and we saw that the Jews hired a professional accuser
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: to accuse Paul to strengthen it to make their case.
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: The Jews from Asia were the ones who are lead
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: the charge, and they didn't even come to be witnesses
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: against Paul. And so Paul gives his defense. They do
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: not find anything wrong with Paul. And so now they're
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: at a point where they're just listening. Paul is just
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: preaching up a storm, and Guy's hand is all in this.
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: And so let's look at Felix as he is convicted
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: by the Holy Spirit. Let's see his response and how
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: he handles it. Amen in verse twenty two. But when
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: Felix heard these things, okay, concerning the resurrection of the dead,
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: I am being judged by you this day. But when
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: Felix heard these things, having more accurate knowledge of the way,
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: he adjourned the proceedings and said, when Lysseius, the commander
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: comes down, I will make a decision on your case.
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: So he commanded the centurion to keep Paul and to
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: let him have liberty, and told him not to forbid
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: any of his friends to provide for or visit him.
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: And after some days, when Felix came with his wife Drucilius,
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: who was Jewish, he sent for Paul and heard him
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: concerning the faith in his faith in Christ or the
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: faith in Christ. Now, as he responded, righteousness, self control,
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: and judgment to come, Felix was afraid and answer, go
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: your way now when I have a convenient time, I
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: will call for you. Meanwhile, he also hoped that money
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: would be given him by Paul that he might release him. Therefore,
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: he sent for him more often and conversed with him.
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: But after two years pro SEUs Festus succeeded Felix, and
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: Felix wanted to do the Jews at favor, left Paul bound, Wow,
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: this is very interesting. All right, let's begin to break
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: it down. But when Felix heard these things, having more
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: accurate knowledge of the way, he adjourned the proceedings and said,
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: when Glicious the commander comes down, I will make a
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: decision on your case. All right, now check this out.
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: Felix already understood much about Christianity. Back then they called
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: it the Way. Now remember they were Caltricians in Antioch,
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: and it was a derogatory term at that moment. But
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: they called it the Way because Jesus said I am
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: the Way, the Truth, and the life right. So this
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: wasn't ignorance though he was hesitant. This was hesitation on
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: a part of Felix. He delayed it decision rather than
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: responding to truth. This can be very dangerous, Beloved, knowing
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: truth and delaying obedience. This is a dangerous spot I
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: found myself in, and a lot of churchgoers they find
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: themselves in this spot. When we are convicted by the
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: Holy Spirit, we need to respond immediately. See Felix understood
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: the way and said that he had more accurate knowledge.
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: So the Romans were blindsided. They were trying to understand
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: the Felix understood. He saw the miracles, he saw the
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: words that Jesus preach come to Metapha state should come
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: to pass. So Felix was not confused at all. Felix
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: was avoiding commitment. A lot of people aren't lost because
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: they lack truth. They're lost because they keep postponing surrender.
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: You say that again. A lot of people are not
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: lost because they lack truth. Even a little bit of truth,
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: there is enough light to understand the gospel. They just
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: do not want to surrender. To live a life of
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: surrender to Christ a man and I've been there before,
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: and trust me, being surrendered is way better than striving
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: on your own Verse twenty three. So he commanded the
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: centurion to keep Paul and to let him have liberty,
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: and told him not to forbid any of his friends
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: to provide or to visit him. Now, Paul remained a prisoner,
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: but he was given unusual favor, and he had freedom
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: to move around as a prisoner, even in chains. God
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: still gave Paul favor. Prison did not stop purpose at all.
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: Restriction doesn't mean rejection. God can bless you right in
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: the middle of your confinement. Hey, man, Paul was working
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: and blessing our brother Paul. And don't trip when people
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: reject you. Don't trip when people treat you funny. God
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: is still worse a man. Pray for those people. Some
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: of them might just be getting convicted by your lifestyle.
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: Some of them might be right on the edge of
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: giving their life to Christ. So we can't trip on
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: our circumstances. Amen twenty four. And after some days, when
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: Felix came with his wife Drusillius and probably butchering these
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: names Jusilius, who was Jewish, she sent He sent for
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: Paul and heard him concerning the faith in Christ. Now
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: Felix and his wife were curious about the faith. But
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: curiosity is not the same as commitment. A lot of
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: people go to church because they want to hear. Some
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: people want to be entertained by the gospel. Some people
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: just want to gain knowledge for knowledge shake, They just
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: want a head knowledge. They just want information. But hearing
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: is just not enough. The Book of James says, don't
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: be heroes of the Word only, but be doers. You
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: cannot be around truth and still never surrender to it.
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: Church attendance alone does not save you. Truth needs to
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: be responded to. We need to surrender every area of
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: our life to the Word of God and to the
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: Holy Spirit.
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: Like man.
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: But the good news is that God's grace is there.
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: God has grace available for us to tap into. Because
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: we cannot do this in our own power or our
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: own strengths, we need to pray for God to give
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: us the grace to surrender today. Amen, God, I need
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: your grace to fully surrender my heart and my life.
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: That is a great prayer to add to your prayerless hallelujah. Man.
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: We need to add up all these these prayerless items
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: were getting out of these podcasts. Amen, make a list
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: Verse twenty five. Now, as he responded about righteousness, self control,
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: and the judgment to come, Felix was afraid. I checked
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: this out. Paul preached exactly what Felix needed to hear.
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: Paul was a powerful preacher. I would have loved to
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: sit under one of his sermons, one of his messages.
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: The anointing was off the chain. Paul was performing miracles,
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: science and wonders. This is a gospel at his purest form,
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: right there in the first century church. And Paul had
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: a front row. Not Paul, but Felix had a front
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: row seat to it. And he was convicted. Paul didn't
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: preach comfort, but he preached conviction, righteousness, self control, and judgment.
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: That struck the conscience of Felix and hit his heart
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: and hit his conscience. Paul didn't preach a soft message.
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: He didn't water it down. He hit on all these
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: points righteousness, self control, judgment to come. The Bible says,
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: That mess it's made Felix tremble. Now, when you tremble,
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: it's not just fear, right, it's not just you're you're startled.
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: It's not just a simple thing here, all right. I
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: really wanted to break this down into Greek for you.
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: So the word is in Phobos right, the word that
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: is considered fear at this moment, and it says that
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: he was thrown into terror. He was alarmed or trembling.
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: It's from in meaning in the the Greek meaning in
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: meaning in in meaning fear. So when Paul hit on righteousness,
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: self control, in coming judgment, Felix got hit with real dread,
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: in real terror. He was terrified, but basically he said
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: not now, come back later. He was convicted but did
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: not want to deal with it. He was able, even
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: at that level of conviction, to shake it off. And
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: that is dangerous, beloved, Amen, that is a dangerous place
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: to be. When we feel conviction of the Holy Spirit.
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: We cannot afford to delay our surrender, our response, and
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: our conviction. Amen. In twenty five it says he answered,
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: go away for now. When I have a convenient time,
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: I will call for you. You know what, we will
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: never have a convenient time. A lot of people treat
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: God this way. A lot of people pray when they
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: have a convenient time. A lot of people read their
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: Bible when they have a convenient time. When you think
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: about it, when it comes to matters of eternity, the
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: only thing that matters is what we do for Christ.
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: The enemy always wants us to be distracted. He wants
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: our obedience to be delayed, and he makes things in
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: this world seem so urgent and so important to where
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: he distracts us from the true world, which is the
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: spiritual world, our spiritual destination. Let's not get caught and
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: delay in our obedience. And even now it's like I
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: invite people to come to this podcast. Now, I'm not
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: saying that this podcast is the only way that God
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: will work in someone's life. Of course it's not. But
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: you can tell a person's priority in life when they
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: keep putting God on the back burner. This is a
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: spiritual discipline. This right here will help you and aid
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: you in your walk with the Lord. This right here
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: is practicing discipline which will help you develop a character. Now,
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: I don't care where you go. If you join a pastor,
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: join a church, and you have a pastor who's worth
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: his salt and he is discipling you, he will begin
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: to train you in discipline. He will begin to invite
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: you to the prayer meanings. He will begin to invite
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: you to men's small groups who will begin to invite
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: you to these things that will train you up in
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: your walk with God to help develop your character. Amen,
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: and our walk and relationship with God has not built unconvenience.
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: We will never worship God when it's convenient for us
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: to do so. Becoming a Christian or coming into the faith,
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: it's like joining boot camp. Like you're in the army.
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: Now you're in God's army. How many of us can
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: walk into the United States Military and say, when it's
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: convenient for me, I'll train. Right, You got to go
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: through basic training. You got to become a weapon specialist.
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: You have a lot of training and a lot of
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: discipline to undergo to find out your place in this army.
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: It's the same thing in God's kingdom. You have to
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: be trained. You have to learn how to pray. You
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: have to learn how to read his word. You have
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: to learn how to apply it and how to call
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: upon God. You have to learn how to pray for
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: your family, your loved ones. You have to learn how
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: to deliver yourself and see your family delivered. This is
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: not a game of convenience. This is war a man
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: and Felix completely missed it. Felix, he pushed conviction away,
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: hoping for a later moment to respond to it. But
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: tomorrow's not promise. This just may be one of the
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: saddest lines in the Book of Acts come back later.
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: Delayed obedience is dangerous. Convenient conviction rarely leads to true
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: repentance because tomorrow does not promising man twenty six. Meanwhile,
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: he also hoped that money would be given him by Paul,
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: but he might release him. Felix was still driven by
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: his greed. Although the conviction came, the greed was stronger
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: in his heart. We have to ask ourselves, what is
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: stopping me from making a full commitment to Christ. Whatever
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: that desire is is your God. We have to be careful.
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: We even got to give our desires over to the Lord.
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: We need to ask the Lord help us to desire
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: the right things. Change our desires, O, Lord, to be
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: pleasing in your sight. Hey man, these need to also
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: be added to our prayerless hallelujah. Now that shows his
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: heart right there. The Bible is giving us insight to
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: what he truly worships. He wanted money more than truth.
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: He hoped that Paul would Pam, but Paul already gave
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: him the true treasure, and that was the opportunity to
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: receive Christ into his life. He trembled at discermon but
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: still chose corruption. Man, I just think about our generation.
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: Conviction without surrender changes nothing. Let me say that again.
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: Conviction by the Holy Spirit without surrender will not change anything.
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: Our pastors said today, Conviction without covenant doesn't change your
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: heart at all. But after two years, Proceius Festus, if
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: that's the pronunciation succeeded Felix, and Felix wanted to go
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: to do the Jews in favor and left Paul bound. Now,
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: Paul remained in prison for two full years because Felix
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: cared more about politics than justice. Felix knew that he
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: was a man of God, and Felix chose to ignore
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: the conviction and his heart was for greed. He wanted
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: Paul to pay him some money and he wanted to
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: do the Jews of favor. Two years innocent, but still
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: waiting because politics mattered more than truth to Felix. But
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: check this out, though delay is not denial, God was
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: still working the plan even in the waiting time. And
• 25:41
  Speaker 3: do you know that during this two period the time frame,
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: Paul wrote many of his epistles to the church. So
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: this was not wasted time, This was not time in vain.
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: Paul made the most of this two year experience. All right,
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: let's go to the break.
• 26:07
  Speaker 4: You are listening to the light of Las Vegas. This
• 26:11
  Speaker 4: is the hiss hop radio show.
• 26:31
  Speaker 5: One thing God don't do. He don't play about me.
• 26:39
  Speaker 6: When the darkness came from money, he stepped in instantly.
• 26:47
  Speaker 7: Every demon trying to whisper. But He's signs every line
• 26:55

• 29:51
  Speaker 4: You are listening to the light of Las Vegas. This
• 29:55
  Speaker 4: is the His Hop radio show.
• 30:14
  Speaker 3: All right, all right, we are that guy does not
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: play about us. This is his hot radio podcast. I'm
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: your brother, mister his Hop could shout out to the
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: live chat, to our brother's own three, our brother Corinth
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: up in the spots. Also everyone else who loves to
• 30:33
  Speaker 3: pop in from time to time. We appreciate y'all. We
• 30:37
  Speaker 3: appreciate every time you guys click on that live chat
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: and save us up. Very encouraging. Now it's time for
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: the Accountability Partner segments. Give you a daily challenge. We
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: encourage you to have someone that can pour into your life,
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: someone that can agree in prayer with you, someone that
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: can help you stay on that narrow path. Amen. And
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: today's challenge is ask your partner, am I obeying the
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: conviction of the Holy Spirit? Or do I postpone conviction? Now,
• 31:22
  Speaker 3: the challenge for this week is don't wait for a
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: convenient time, respawn when God speaks like immediately, don't delay,
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: because delayed obedience can be permanent disobedience. Let me say
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: that again, delayed obedience can be permanent disobedience. I can
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: just imagine what probably happened to Felix, and Felix might
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: not be in a good place right now in eternity
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: just because he wanted to delay obedience and surrender to Christ.
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: Let that not be us, beloved and man, hopefully, And
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: you know, nobody can judge. You know, it's possible that
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: somebody could have came and preached to him before he
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: passed away, and we just don't know about it in scripture.
• 32:24
  Speaker 3: Or you know, he could have stayed in that posture
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: and missed the kingdom. There's always two possibilities, and the
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: Bible is silent on the rest of his story. So
• 32:39
  Speaker 3: but I don't know. You know, you can kind of
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: use your discernment and know which direction it might have went.
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: So all right, we want to let you know that
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: his hot radio is a monitored in a reporting radio station.
• 32:56

  Speaker 3: Hey man, all right, but love it. That is my
• 37:09
  Speaker 3: time for today, but I'm gonna leave with some closing comments.
• 37:15
  Speaker 3: Felix trembled, but he never surrendered. Don't let that be
• 37:25
  Speaker 3: your story. When conviction comes, respond because the most dangerous
• 37:34
  Speaker 3: word in faith can be later. He said that again,
• 37:42
  Speaker 3: the most dangerous word can be later. God will try
• 37:51
  Speaker 3: to convince people they got time. Some people even made
• 37:59
  Speaker 3: the decision that they will get serious about God when
• 38:01
  Speaker 3: they are old, but they didn't know that they would
• 38:07
  Speaker 3: never make it to old age. I remember my dad
• 38:12
  Speaker 3: used to tell me when I was younger and living,
• 38:20
  Speaker 3: and what you meant by that is if you keep
• 38:22
  Speaker 3: living one day you'll get older. I'm not a teenager anymore,
• 38:26
  Speaker 3: and it feels like it was only yesterday. I'm thankful
• 38:29
  Speaker 3: for the years that God allowed me to be on
• 38:32
  Speaker 3: this earth, but I know I'm not going to be
• 38:35
  Speaker 3: here forever. You're not going to be here forever. We
• 38:40
  Speaker 3: have an assignment, We have a job to do. Later
• 38:45
  Speaker 3: is a dangerous word. Now is the time. Today is
• 38:51
  Speaker 3: the day of your salvation. And man to stay ready,
• 39:00
  Speaker 3: he stay surrendered, stay faithful. If you've been delaying your
• 39:05
  Speaker 3: surrender to Christ and you've listened to this episode and
• 39:13
  Speaker 3: God is speaking to you, do not allow the conviction
• 39:17
  Speaker 3: to pass you by before this podcast is over. Take
• 39:24
  Speaker 3: that commitment to surrender. Ask the Lord to come into
• 39:27
  Speaker 3: your heart and to your life. Ask the Lord to
• 39:30
  Speaker 3: forgive you of your sins. Turn from your sins and
