ACTS 12:18–25 (NKJV) “When Pride Takes the Throne… God Takes It Back” · His Hop Radio Podcast

0:09
Speaker 1: Lives up the headquarters.
0:11
Speaker 2: Hello, it's high Lost Vegas.
0:18
Speaker 1: Cut off anyone, Hey, welcome back, Welcome back to his
0:36
Speaker 1: high Radio, where the Word of God meets real life
0:39
Speaker 1: in the truth is never softing to fit the culture.
0:44
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. We are continuing our walk
0:48
Speaker 1: through the Book of Acts, and today's episode is titled
0:54
Speaker 1: When Pride Takes the Throne, God takes it back. You
1:00
Speaker 1: know what I'm talking about, Well, you will once we
1:03
Speaker 1: dive into this portion of scripture. We're going to be
1:07
Speaker 1: in Acts chapter twelve. We're gonna pick it up in
1:10
Speaker 1: verse eighteen today. Now, so far we've seen the apostle
1:16
Speaker 1: James martyred. It looks like you lost another one. And
1:20
Speaker 1: then we see the apostle Peter delivered from King Herod.
1:27
Speaker 1: Now you know, there's a natural questionnaire. Why would God
1:31
Speaker 1: save James? I mean saved Peter, but allowed James to
1:37
Speaker 1: be taken out? That we don't know. Just like Stephen
1:43
Speaker 1: was the first one, the first martyr for the kingdom,
1:47
Speaker 1: I believe that martyrs will have a special place in
1:50
Speaker 1: the Kingdom of Heaven. But now this is just my opinion.
1:54
Speaker 1: I don't have chapter in verse for you. But my opinion,
1:57
Speaker 1: maybe because the church prayed for Peter, but the church
2:02
Speaker 1: did not have the opportunity to pray for James, at
2:06
Speaker 1: least is not recorded in scripture. We don't have that knowledge.
2:11
Speaker 1: But I don't know. I mean, we know prayer is powerful,
2:16
Speaker 1: but I cannot say that that's why James was martyr,
2:23
Speaker 1: or even Stephan. We don't hear about the church praying
2:28
Speaker 1: for them. But maybe this is a good reason why
2:34
Speaker 1: we need to pray for our pastors and leaders. I
2:37
Speaker 1: don't know. I just want to throw that out there.
2:39
Speaker 1: I'll leave that up to you to study or to pray,
2:44
Speaker 1: or if you want to go further than that. But
2:47
Speaker 1: I just see the story. The difference is that the
2:50
Speaker 1: church got behind and prayed for Peter, and Peter was delivered.
2:54
Speaker 1: But of course we know God is sovereign. You know,
2:57
Speaker 1: Peter had more to do. Possibly God wasn't finished with
3:02
Speaker 1: him yet. And as we remember, when Jesus appeared by
3:07
Speaker 1: the sea, he told Peter how he would die, and
3:14
Speaker 1: so Peter already had the word for that. Maybe that's
3:16
Speaker 1: why he was able to sleep between the guards. I
3:20
Speaker 1: don't know. There's a lot there aim in. But now
3:26
Speaker 1: we're about to see something just as powerful as God
3:30
Speaker 1: begins to deal with the King. So if you want

5:25
Speaker 1: we asked you your blessings and that you'll anoint this
5:28
Speaker 1: episode and Jesus' mighty name. Amen and amen. All right,
5:39
Speaker 1: well let's jump right into this. We're gonna get the
5:47
Speaker 1: scriptures up in the new King James, that's where we're
5:55
Speaker 1: gonna hit you all. All right. Then, as soon as
6:10
Speaker 1: it was day, there was no small stir among the
6:15
Speaker 1: soldiers about what had become of Peter. Now, remember Peter
6:21
Speaker 1: was in prison and Angel released him, and then Peter
6:25
Speaker 1: went straight to the prayer meeting and then he went
6:28
Speaker 1: to another place. So Peter is on the run. He's
6:31
Speaker 1: in hiding at this point. And so remember the Romans
6:35
Speaker 1: were punished by death if they allow a prisoner to
6:40
Speaker 1: escape that they are in charge of, that they have
6:43
Speaker 1: charge over. So this is where we pick up the story.
6:50
Speaker 1: But when Herod had searched for him and had found him,
6:55
Speaker 1: he examined the guards and commanded that they should be
6:59
Speaker 1: put to death, and he went down from Judea to
7:04
Speaker 1: Cessarrhea and stayed there. Now Herod had been very angry
7:10
Speaker 1: with the people of Tire and Sighting, and they came
7:14
Speaker 1: to him with one accord, and having made blast Us
7:20
Speaker 1: the King's personal aid their friend, they asked for peace
7:26
Speaker 1: because their country was supplied with food by the King's country.
7:34
Speaker 1: So on a set day, Herod rayed in royal appail,
7:40
Speaker 1: sat on his throne and gave an orientation to them,
7:45
Speaker 1: and the people kept shouting the voice of a god
7:49
Speaker 1: and not of a man. Then immediately an angel of
7:54
Speaker 1: the Lord struck him because he did not give glory
7:59
Speaker 1: to and he was eaten by worms and died. Wow,
8:04
Speaker 1: that's pretty gross. But the word grew and multiplied, and
8:13
Speaker 1: Barnabas and Saw returned from Jerusalem when they had fulfilled
8:19
Speaker 1: their ministry, and they also took with them John, whose
8:24
Speaker 1: surname was Mark Allelujahly man, all right, well, let's go
8:33
Speaker 1: and let's break all this down. This is some good stuff,
8:37
Speaker 1: some interesting stuff, all right. So then as soon as
8:42
Speaker 1: it was day there was no small stir among the
8:45
Speaker 1: soldiers about what happened to Peter the Apostle. The apostle Peter.
8:52
Speaker 1: Now no small stir means absolute panic. There was total
8:58
Speaker 1: chaos going on here trying to figure out what in
9:02
Speaker 1: the world happened to Peter the Apostle. Now keep in
9:08
Speaker 1: mind I just mentioned the Roman soldiers were responsible for
9:12
Speaker 1: prisoners with their own lives. If the prisoner escaped, the
9:18
Speaker 1: guards could pay the ultimate price. They could be killed themselves.
9:25
Speaker 1: Now imagine our police force today if they ran after
9:29
Speaker 1: a suspect and that suspect got away, and now that
9:33
Speaker 1: that officer has to pay with his life. I mean,
9:36
Speaker 1: how many people would sign up to be a cop?
9:38
Speaker 1: You know what I mean? But man, this is interesting.
9:44
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure there's probably still places in the world,
9:48
Speaker 1: maybe in some countries, some military, some armies, or maybe
9:54
Speaker 1: even during war time, where if they allow prisoners to escape,
9:59
Speaker 1: maybe they will pay for their lives, pay with their lives.
10:02
Speaker 1: That's probably still in place, So I just don't know
10:05
Speaker 1: of the place. But man, now, but this is like
10:11
Speaker 1: a miracle. You see the hand of God. Now, it
10:15
Speaker 1: didn't just deliver Peter, but it shook up the whole
10:18
Speaker 1: political system at the same time. Now, when God moves,
10:24
Speaker 1: every layer of power will fill it. They felt it
10:29
Speaker 1: all the way from the king to the soldiers. This
10:32
Speaker 1: was a mighty miracle of God. And maybe you have
10:36
Speaker 1: a testimony. Maybe you could share a story of when
10:40
Speaker 1: God moved in your life so powerfully that everyone felt it,
10:46
Speaker 1: and so posted in a life chat. We want to
10:49
Speaker 1: hear from you, all right, verse nineteen. But when Herod
10:55
Speaker 1: had searched for him and not found him, he examined
11:00
Speaker 1: the guards and commanded that they should be put to death.
11:05
Speaker 1: And he went down from Jerusalem to Cessarea and stayed there. Now,
11:12
Speaker 1: I believe it's interesting how in the word of Gouds
11:15
Speaker 1: you can hear people going up to Jerusalem, but he's
11:20
Speaker 1: coming down from Jerusalem. And like we mentioned, as soldiers
11:25
Speaker 1: paid the ultimate price. Now Harrod's respond to Guy's miracle.
11:32
Speaker 1: He refused to acknowledge God. He refused to acknowledge that
11:38
Speaker 1: it was humanly impossible for Peter to escape on his own.
11:46
Speaker 1: I mean, he had around the clock, soldiers watching him,
11:50
Speaker 1: and he was chained to them, and all the doors
11:56
Speaker 1: opening the way they did, the gates and all that.
12:01
Speaker 1: Now you can only account it to one or two things.
12:04
Speaker 1: Either it was a miracle by God or his soldiers
12:08
Speaker 1: betrayed him. But instead of repentance, instead of acknowledging the miracle,
12:15
Speaker 1: instead of him turning to God, he chose to retaliate.
12:24
Speaker 1: But Herod couldn't stop God. Even though he chose to
12:27
Speaker 1: deny him and he chose to kill his soldiers, he
12:34
Speaker 1: could not stop the hand of God. And so he
12:38
Speaker 1: decided to punish the people. And this is a clear
12:45
Speaker 1: picture of pride right here. It always looks for someone
12:52
Speaker 1: else to blame. Pride does not receive or take accountability
12:58
Speaker 1: for its own apps actions. Right This is one reasons
13:04
Speaker 1: one of the reasons why God hates pride so much.
13:08
Speaker 1: Pride was the original sin that caused Lucider the fall.
13:14
Speaker 1: This is why we have a devil because of pride.
13:18
Speaker 1: People operating in pride are looking more like Satan than
13:23
Speaker 1: they are like God. That's pretty deep. Verse twenty and
13:33
Speaker 1: twenty one. Now, Herod had been very angry with the
13:37
Speaker 1: people of Tire and sidon. But they came to him
13:41
Speaker 1: with one accord, and on a set day, Herod, arrayed
13:46
Speaker 1: in royal apparel, sat on his throne and gave an
13:51
Speaker 1: orientation to them. Now Herod was politically he was an
13:58
Speaker 1: insecure person. If you read the story of Herod over
14:05
Speaker 1: in history, this man was a very insecure person in power.
14:11
Speaker 1: Now tire in siting depended on him economically. They a
14:17
Speaker 1: would get their food and self and their supplies from
14:21
Speaker 1: King Herod. Now this was a straight power move. This
14:28
Speaker 1: was a stage that he sat on in a performance
14:32
Speaker 1: that he gave. Now, Herod, he didn't just sit on
14:36
Speaker 1: a throne. He played the role. He had royal robes,
14:42
Speaker 1: He gave a public speech, and all eyes are on him.
14:48
Speaker 1: Where have you heard that before? All eyes on me? Right,
14:52
Speaker 1: this was straight pride. He just he just wanted. He
14:56
Speaker 1: was just basking in it. He thought he deserved all this.
15:01
Speaker 1: But the whole point here is the fact that God
15:04
Speaker 1: was watching him as well. Just says, God is watching
15:08
Speaker 1: our every move. You know that there's there are books
15:11
Speaker 1: being written about our lives. Our thoughts are intense, our emotions,
15:17
Speaker 1: our emotions, everything we say or do, books are being written.
15:24
Speaker 1: Let us make our book a happy ending. Amen. Now
15:29
Speaker 1: verse twenty two. And people kept shouting the voice of
15:35
Speaker 1: a God and not of a man, the voice of
15:38
Speaker 1: a God and not of a man. If anybody shouts that,
15:43
Speaker 1: you need to shut them down immediately. Now here's the danger.
15:49
Speaker 1: Herod accepted the worship. He didn't shut him down. He
15:54
Speaker 1: didn't stop it. It said that they kept shoutings. And
15:57
Speaker 1: who knows how long this No, we can in our
16:03
Speaker 1: western minds right as we read this, we can think
16:05
Speaker 1: it was five minutes or so. This could have been
16:10
Speaker 1: five or six hours of this. Like, we don't know.
16:14
Speaker 1: This guy was sitting here drinking this up. But what
16:19
Speaker 1: we do know is that, unlike Peter, Peter refused to
16:25
Speaker 1: be worshiped. And remember when the centurion called for him, Connelius,
16:31
Speaker 1: he bowed down and worship Peter, a powerful man of
16:36
Speaker 1: God moving in the Holy Spirit. Peter said, no, I'm
16:40
Speaker 1: a man just like you. And even the apostle Paul,
16:45
Speaker 1: we're gonna read that people tried to worship him and
16:48
Speaker 1: he ripped his clothes. He said, do not do it.
16:55
Speaker 1: And when we read about the godly angels, even I'm
16:58
Speaker 1: thinking about John in the Book of revelation, John fell
17:02
Speaker 1: down to worship the Angel and the English says, no,
17:05
Speaker 1: I am just like your fellow brethren. Right. He refused it,
17:09
Speaker 1: but Herod does nothing to stop the worship. Now, I
17:19
Speaker 1: think it was more tongue in cheek to be honest
17:22
Speaker 1: to worship because, like we read, these people were probably starving.
17:29
Speaker 1: They would probably do anything to get their supplies or
17:32
Speaker 1: to get back on Herod's good side. They wanted political favor,
17:38
Speaker 1: and back then the emperors and kings considered themselves to
17:42
Speaker 1: be gods. They considered themselves to be the ultimate authority.
17:47
Speaker 1: And when you have absolute power, you have absolute corruption.
17:51
Speaker 1: We as the human race cannot handle power like that.
17:57
Speaker 1: We need to submit and always being subjection to God.
18:03
Speaker 1: God is the only one that can handle the power,
18:07
Speaker 1: and we lean on him to do his will in
18:11
Speaker 1: every area. As the leader of my house, or leader
18:16
Speaker 1: supervisor at work, or if you have a business or
18:19
Speaker 1: a ministry. It should always be submitted over to God
18:27
Speaker 1: and man so that we don't get corrupted and think
18:30
Speaker 1: that we are the final authority. Right now, Herod was
18:36
Speaker 1: receiving something that belonged to God. Pride doesn't need to speak.
18:44
Speaker 1: His silence was enough for God to judge him twenty three.
18:52
Speaker 1: Then immediately an angel of the Lord struck him because
18:58
Speaker 1: he did not give God glory to God, and he
19:02
Speaker 1: was eaten by worms and died. Man, that sounds grotesque, wow,
19:12
Speaker 1: Like immediately eaten by what you would think. You know,
19:18
Speaker 1: when people pass away, we go to their funerals, and
19:21
Speaker 1: when it's an open casket, they're not eating up by
19:25
Speaker 1: worms that fast. This had to been a miraculous thing
19:31
Speaker 1: to be eaten by worms. And he was eaten by
19:34
Speaker 1: worms before he died, like it says, he was eaten
19:39
Speaker 1: by worms and he died after that. God knows how
19:47
Speaker 1: to judge man, hallelujah. You know, the fear of the
19:51
Speaker 1: Lord is the beginning of wisdom. And we can see
19:54
Speaker 1: right here. Why Amen, Now another an angel freed Peter
20:02
Speaker 1: earlier in this chapter, and an angel judge Herod just now,
20:12
Speaker 1: same authority, and we don't know. The Bible doesn't tell
20:15
Speaker 1: us whether or not it's the same angel, but different outcomes. Now,
20:28
Speaker 1: I want angels working on my side and not against me. Amen, hallelujah.
20:36
Speaker 1: We need to stay in God's favor. Now. This judgment
20:45
Speaker 1: wasn't random. This judgment was not overly cruel. This judgment
20:55
Speaker 1: was righteous. You see, God is patient, beloved, but he
21:03
Speaker 1: will never share his glory. There's one thing that scriptures
21:08
Speaker 1: say over and over again. His glory belongs to him
21:13
Speaker 1: and him alone. Hallelujah. We would be wise to make
21:19
Speaker 1: sure he gets all of it. You see deliverance for
21:24
Speaker 1: the humble, which was Peter, judgment for the pride, which
21:30
Speaker 1: is King herod. But the word of God grew and multiplied.
21:36
Speaker 1: Now King's fall can persecutors die, but God's word keeps
21:45
Speaker 1: moving a man. That's one of the most important things
21:52
Speaker 1: in emphasis if you haven't noticed yet about his hot nation,
21:57
Speaker 1: and it might be. One of the things that separate
22:00
Speaker 1: rates our gospel hip hop ministry from others is that
22:07
Speaker 1: we put our emphasis on the word of God. We're
22:11
Speaker 1: not interested in entertaining. We're not trying to make it
22:15
Speaker 1: in the music industry. We're making our own lane. But
22:21
Speaker 1: the Word of God is priority. We hold up a
22:27
Speaker 1: standard here of holiness, and we try our best with
22:32
Speaker 1: the power of the Holy Spirit, to screen and to monitor,
22:36
Speaker 1: to filter out all the compromise. Right, we don't need
22:41
Speaker 1: the world. We don't want the world. We don't need
22:44
Speaker 1: the enemy all we need is for God to make
22:47
Speaker 1: the lane for us. That's why we were the first
22:51
Speaker 1: Christian club in Las Vegas. Yeah was not a you know,
22:58
Speaker 1: I guess business wise, we did so many free shows.
23:03
Speaker 1: We are not in it to get rich and famous,
23:05
Speaker 1: but we were in it to see the Word of
23:08
Speaker 1: God moves. You cannot stop the word after we are
23:11
Speaker 1: long gone. The word will still remain here. And the
23:15
Speaker 1: word is what's going to impact people more than anything else.
23:20
Speaker 1: We could have created a podcast about how to get
23:24
Speaker 1: rich and how to make money and how to work
23:27
Speaker 1: over time, or how to do all this stuff, But
23:30
Speaker 1: the most valuable thing that people need is the Word
23:35
Speaker 1: of God. To understand the Word and to apply the word,
23:41
Speaker 1: not just to be here's other word, but to be
23:43
Speaker 1: doers of the word and to be discipled. People need
23:50
Speaker 1: that accountability to really make it into the kingdom. And
23:54
Speaker 1: so the Word of God will continue to move once
23:58
Speaker 1: mister h hiss Hop is long gone. My hope and
24:02
Speaker 1: prayer is that people will still be able to gain
24:06
Speaker 1: value and follow along to these podcasts as we walk
24:11
Speaker 1: through the Bible. Verse by verse Amen. Now this verse
24:18
Speaker 1: preaches by itself, herod died, the Word lived Governments rise
24:25
Speaker 1: and governments fall. Movements will fade away, But the word multiplies. Amen.
24:35
Speaker 1: Think of how many movements that have faded. Think of
24:39
Speaker 1: how many celebrities that have come and gone over the years.
24:43
Speaker 1: Think of how many governments that has risen and fallen.
24:48
Speaker 1: But the Word of God is the only thing that
24:51
Speaker 1: is consistent and that keeps multiplying. Amen, All right, Verse
24:58
Speaker 1: twenty five. And Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerusalem when
25:02
Speaker 1: they had fulfilled their ministry, and they also took with
25:07
Speaker 1: them John, whose surname is Mark. And so now Paul
25:12
Speaker 1: is going to be one of the main characters in
25:15
Speaker 1: the Book of Acts as we continue to go. Now,
25:24
Speaker 1: while Herod the King falls, God continues to build leaders
25:34
Speaker 1: with Barnabas, with Saul, and with John's surname Mark. God
25:43
Speaker 1: doesn't pause his mission because of opposition. He advances it.
25:51
Speaker 1: Here we see new leaders, new assignments, going into new territories,
25:59
Speaker 1: and it's going to be awesome. Harrod is off the scene,
26:04
Speaker 1: but here comes the apostle Paul. All right, time for
26:10
Speaker 1: a break.
26:12
Speaker 3: You are listening to the light of Las Vegas. This
26:16
Speaker 3: is the hiss hop radio show.
26:23
Speaker 4: Why don't I see you. Why did I feel you
26:27
Speaker 4: like I used to God? I'm tired of this God,
26:29
Speaker 4: I'm tired of it. I prayed for all these people.
26:32

39:32
Speaker 1: and I believe that we all deal with pride to
39:34
Speaker 1: some degree. But Father, I ask for forgiveness. Father, I
39:41
Speaker 1: choose to humble myself, and I choose to forsake all
39:45
Speaker 1: pride that is in my heart, my mind, my emotions,
39:50
Speaker 1: and my thoughts. Forgive me for my independence and my
39:55
Speaker 1: lack of submission and allowing pride to control all my life.
40:01
Speaker 1: I don't want to be prideful anymore. Oh God, help
40:05
Speaker 1: me to remain humble before you. Help me to make
40:09
Speaker 1: sure that you give get all the glory. And forgive
40:13
Speaker 1: me if I have taken credit for your work in
40:17
Speaker 1: my life. Forgive me for every time that I've touched
40:21
Speaker 1: your glory. Please restore me, renew me, make me over again,
