• 1:02
  Speaker 4: this again, y'all. Thank you for joining us, spending time
• 1:05
  Speaker 4: with us here on the His Hot Radio podcast. This
• 1:09
  Speaker 4: is verse by verse. We're gonna go through the Word
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: of God together.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: Today.
• 1:15
  Speaker 4: We are in Jeremiah chapter eighteen. We're gonna pick it
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: up at verse twelve through verse seventeen. The title of
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: today's message is they have forgotten Me. So just with
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: that title alone, you know we're gonna get into it.
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: We're gonna get into the Word together. We're gonna continue
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: this and we're going to talk about what happened on
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: the last episode. We talked about the potter in the clay.
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: We saw how God can reshape a vessel that has
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: been marred or another words, disfigured, and we talked about repentance,
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: returning away from sin, wrong decisions, and returning back to God.
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: But now we see how Jeremiah responds to God's warning.
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: And unfortunately they didn't respond with repentance. I mean, not Jeremiah, Judah.
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: We're gonna see how Judah responds to God's warning. Now
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: he made it clear, he told him I am devising
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: disaster against you, like turn and get it right. But
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: they basically told God that there's no hope. They made
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: it up in their minds. They chose their own way,
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: and God points out something heartbreaking, and so we're gonna
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: look into it. We're gonna dive into it today. Also,
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: I want to remind you to join us in a
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: live chat. All you have to do is download his

• 3:36
  Speaker 4: that's where we ask questions. We check in with one another.
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: We hold each other accountable. And also we have a call,
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: a conference call we do once a week as well.

  Speaker 4: this thing to grow as large as God wants it
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: to grow. Amen. So that's how we do right here
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: on the podcast. We believe that walking that narrow path
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: is the only way that we can enter into to
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: the Kingdom of God. Jesus said that path is narrow
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: and it's difficult, and so we're here to encourage the
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: narrow path walkers. This is your podcast, this is your
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: radio station if you're tired of that broad road. The
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: Bible says the broad road is the world that leads
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: to destruction, and there are many who go by that way,
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: and so we want to be the few. We want
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: to be the faithful. We want to be the wise
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: virgins who are waiting for the bridegroom. Amen. So that's
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: our heart he on the podcast. We want to get
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: people ready for when the Lord returns, that we will
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: be the ones watching and not those who have fallen
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: asleep and has fallen away. Right, So let's pray Heavenly Father,
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: We thank you, Father God, for another opportunity to be
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: on this platform we've dedicated to you. We ask, Father God,
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: that you will help us, Father God, to o Lord,
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: learn to feast on your word and not only to
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: understand it, but to apply it in our lives. Father God,
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: we just asked, Oh Lord, that your holy Spirit will anoint,
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: that you'll give us the ring a word for today,
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: and that somebody will be ministered to, somebody will be touched,
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: and that somebody will be helped. And today, by your
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: spirit we bind up the works of darkness in the
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: Mighty Enable Jesus. Hey man, all right, well, let's dive in.
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: We're gonna tackle first twelve together. Another one verse twelve
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: says and they said that is hopeless. So we will
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: walk according to our own plans, and we will everyone
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: obey the dictates of his evil heart. What kind wait
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: a minute, what kind of response is that? Can you
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: imagine responding to God like that? When God has been gracious,
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: God has been giving him a way out. God has
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: been trying to tell them to turn around and repent,
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: and he told him. Issue is that they were following
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: the dictates of their own evil hearts. And for them
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: to respond that way. Wow, man, man, that is bold.
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: So let's breaking down.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: So break it down.
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: There is no hope now, God tells Jeremiah how the
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: people will respond to his warning. There is no hope
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: now that right there, beloved, It is the theme song
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: of hell. When people go to hell, the first thing
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: that they will notice is that hope is gone. There
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: is no hope that they could ever get out of
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: this place. And every time you snap a finger, every
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: second that goes by, another soul drops into hell. People
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: are dying every second. That's why it's really urgent for
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: us to fulfill the call that God has on our lives.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: Amen.
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: But they say there is no hope, but we will
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: walk after our own devices. Now that's pretty defiant, and
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: we will everyone do the imagination of his evil heart.
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: That is a powerful response.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: Right there.
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: God says, change your ways. They respond, We're going to
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: do what we want. By the way, that is the
• 8:45
  Speaker 4: only commandment you'll find in the Church of Satan is
• 8:50
  Speaker 4: do with thou wilt, We will do what we want.
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: It's hard to imagine that people who have these attitudes
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: are actually enemies of God. Like, we really need to
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: study the scriptures. Right. They are not saying that they
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: don't understand the situation. They're saying that they don't want
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: to change. Now, the one thing I can appreciate is
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: their honesty, because some people will play like they want
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: to change. They play with their relationship with God like
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: they're serving God, but inwardly they're not behind closed doors,
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: they're doing their own thing. Right, the stubbornness of Juda's response,
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: they had reached the point where they determined to follow
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: their own desires rather than submit themselves the God's will. Now,
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: don't underestimate the power of your own desire. Your own
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: desires could take you straight to hell. And a lot
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: of people think that they are justified just because their
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: own desires tell them to do certain things. Now, the
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: people at you that reached a point where they had
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: determine to follow their own desires rather than to submit
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: to God's will, the problem was simply ignorance. It was
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: deliberate refusal to obey. When you said that again, it
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: was deliberate refusal to obey the word of the Lord.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: Now, that is a dangerous place to be spiritually. There's
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: a difference between saying Lord, I don't understand in saying Lord,
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: I understand what you're saying, but I'm not going to
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: do what you want anyway. Now, the first response, you
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: can say, they're confused, right, it might be a little
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: confusion involved. But the second response is straight up rebellion,
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: and that is demonic. And we have to be honest
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: with ourselves. Sometimes we already know what God wants us
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: to do, we just don't want to do it. You know,
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: I can respect someone who is honest about it, and
• 11:36
  Speaker 4: I believe God can respect that because he says, I
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: wish you were either hot or cool or cold, But
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: the lukewarm he's gonna spit out of his mouth.
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: Sometimes we don't need another Bible study. We need to
• 11:54
  Speaker 4: obey the Bible study we already heard. Hey, man is
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: now necessarily gaining more knowledge and more information. It's what
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: are you doing with what you already know? And we
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: are accountable for what we know Verse thirteen. Therefore, thus
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: says the Lord, ask now among the gentiles who has
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: heard such things, the version of Israel has done a
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: very horrible thing. Okay, okay, now ask ye, now among
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: the heathen who has heard such things. Now he describes
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: what Judah had done as something shocking, and I can
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: believe so why because guys, people had turned earn away
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: from the God who had been faithful to them. Now,
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: I mean, when you just consider that these are God's people,
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: this isn't the nation of Israel. And this is how
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: they're treating God, the God that brought them out of Egypt,
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: who brought them across the Red Sea, the God who
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: did many miracles for them. And this is like their
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: heart and response. This shows the depravity of the human heart.
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: But love it.
• 13:33
  Speaker 4: Let's make sure we don't treat God this way. Once
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: He's delivered us, and He's done so much for us
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: in our lives. Amen. As we think about it, God
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: protected them, delivered them, He provided for them. God has
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: given them his word. God has established a covenant with them,
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: and yet they turn away. That's why spiritual forgetfulness is.
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: It's so dangerous. See God. I mean, the devil doesn't
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: necessarily want to fill your heart with hatred towards God.
• 14:08
  Speaker 4: He just wants you to forget about who God is
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: and what He's done for us. Right, But yet they
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: still turned away. That's why we really need to remember.
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: I have monuments. I have different things. When God has
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: brought me through something, I have something to remind myself
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: of God's hand on God's work in my life. Amen.
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: Sometimes we just streight up don't appreciate what God has
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: done because we're too focused on what we want him
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: to do next. We forget yesterday's blessing because we're complaining
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: about today's problem. Wow, I've been there so many times.
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: That is convicting. We forget the prayer God already answered
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: because we're worried about the prayer he's still working on. Wow.
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: Can anybody relate? Do not allow today's circumstances to make
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: you forget yesterday's faithfulness. Hallelujah, Thank you Lord. God is
• 15:29
  Speaker 4: so good. All right, let's hit verse fourteen. Will a
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: man leave the snow water in Lebanon which comes from
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: the rock of the field. Will the cold flowing waters
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: be forsaken for strange waters? Now, that's another question, and
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: that's another illustration. God is such an amazing teacher a man.
• 16:05
  Speaker 4: Now he gives you Amaia, another picture from nature, and
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: he talks about the snow remaining in the mountains of Lebanon,
• 16:15
  Speaker 4: and the cold water is flowing down from the mountains.
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: Now that sounds good, especially for those of us who
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: live in Las Vegas. Right our water is just drying
• 16:27
  Speaker 4: up out here and so unable to have this type
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: of situation and not appreciate it. I'm pretty sure people
• 16:38
  Speaker 4: here in Nevada, could, you know, feel some type of way, right.
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: But you know, he's pointing to nature. The nature follows
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: the order that God has established, is what he's trying
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: to say. But his people had abandoned the order that
• 16:58
  Speaker 4: he gave them. Now, there's a huge contrast between the
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: consistency of nature and the consistency of God's people. The
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: natural order remains dependable for the most part, But yet
• 17:18
  Speaker 4: Judah had abandoned the Lord despite God's faithfulness to his
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: very own people. I mean, no wonder why their attitude
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: is like, We're gonna do what we want.
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 17:35
  Speaker 4: But that's something to think about. The creation obeys the
• 17:38
  Speaker 4: order that God has established. The sun rises, the seasons change,
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: water flows according to the pattern that God is created, right,
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: But human beings, he has problems with us, and we
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: were created to know God and we can decide. I'm
• 17:58
  Speaker 4: going to do things my way. I have free will,
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: but free will doesn't eliminate consequences. You can choose your
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: own direction, but you cannot always choose where that direction
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: takes you. You cannot choose your own consequences verse fifteen.
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: Because my people have forgotten me. They have burned incense
• 18:34
  Speaker 4: to worthless idols, and they have caused themselves to stumble
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: in their ways from the ancient past, to walk and pass,
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: and not on a highway, to walk in past and
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: not on a highway. All right, let's break that down.
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: My people have forgotten me. Now that is probably the
• 19:04
  Speaker 4: most heartbreaking verse in this episode. Now, this is one
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: of the saddest statements in this passage, because my people
• 19:21
  Speaker 4: have forgotten me. The power of forgetfulness. That's why we
• 19:26
  Speaker 4: need to remind ourselves. We need to memorize scriptures, we
• 19:30
  Speaker 4: need to stay in the word. But think about those words.
• 19:36
  Speaker 4: My people. God wasn't talking about strangers. He was talking
• 19:42
  Speaker 4: about people who belong to him, And he says they
• 19:47
  Speaker 4: have forgotten me, not simply forgotten his rules, not simply
• 19:53
  Speaker 4: forgotten his commandments. They have forgotten him altogether. Now there
• 20:02
  Speaker 4: is where religion can become dangerous. You can know about
• 20:08
  Speaker 4: God without actually walking with God. Wow, let me say
• 20:12
  Speaker 4: this again. We can know about God but not actually
• 20:21
  Speaker 4: walk with him. We can know Bible verses and still
• 20:26
  Speaker 4: drift away from the God who wrote them. We can
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: go to church and still forget God. You can listen
• 20:38
  Speaker 4: to Christian music and still forget about God. You can
• 20:47
  Speaker 4: even be involved in ministry and still let your relationship
• 20:51
  Speaker 4: with God. It becomes secondary. The goal isn't simply to
• 20:57
  Speaker 4: know about God. The goal is to know God, to
• 21:03
  Speaker 4: know who He is, and to know Him in his fullness. Amen.
• 21:10
  Speaker 4: That is tragic and heartbreaking to go to church all
• 21:13
  Speaker 4: your life just to end up in hell because you
• 21:21
  Speaker 4: didn't take time to build a relationship with God. All right,
• 21:31
  Speaker 4: verse sixteen. To make their land desolate and to perpetual
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: hissing and a perpetual hissing. Everyone who passes by it
• 21:49
  Speaker 4: will be astonished and shake their heads. Because, let me
• 21:59
  Speaker 4: jump back to fifty team on them, because my people
• 22:01
  Speaker 4: have forgotten me. They have burned instant to work as idols,
• 22:06
  Speaker 4: and they have caused themselves to stumble in their ways
• 22:09
  Speaker 4: from the ancient past, to walk in the past and
• 22:13
  Speaker 4: not on the high way. To make them set their
• 22:17
  Speaker 4: land desolate and a perpetual hissing. Everyone who passed by
• 22:22
  Speaker 4: it will be astonished and shake their head. Wow, everyone
• 22:30
  Speaker 4: who passed by it will be astonished and shake their head. Now,
• 22:33
  Speaker 4: God says there land will become desolate. People would look
• 22:38
  Speaker 4: at what happened to them, and they will be astonished.
• 22:42
  Speaker 4: Their land would become something people would look at and
• 22:47
  Speaker 4: shake their heads over. Wow, man, when you really think
• 22:54
  Speaker 4: about that, right judgment, The judgment that Jeremiah was announcing
• 23:04
  Speaker 4: was connected to judas persistent rejection of God. There is
• 23:12
  Speaker 4: a consequence to rejecting God. So their destruction would serve
• 23:19
  Speaker 4: as a testimony of what happens when a nation repeatedly
• 23:23
  Speaker 4: turns away from God's way. Hey, man, God's judgment wasn't
• 23:32
  Speaker 4: something that was random. He warned them over and over again.
• 23:36
  Speaker 4: He gave them opportunity to repent. He sent prophets, he
• 23:41
  Speaker 4: gave them his word from they continue to reject him.
• 23:49
  Speaker 4: That's why we shouldn't take God's warnings lightly. When God
• 23:55
  Speaker 4: keeps telling you to change something, don't assume you have
• 24:00
  Speaker 4: unlimited time. Respond while your heart is still sensitive to
• 24:07
  Speaker 4: the word of God. Amen, respond while you can.
• 24:14
  Speaker 5: It looks like you.
• 24:15
  Speaker 6: Lost another one?
• 24:19
  Speaker 4: All right? Verse seventeen. I will scatter them as with
• 24:26
  Speaker 4: an east wind before the enemy. I will show them
• 24:33
  Speaker 4: the back and not the face, in the day of
• 24:37
  Speaker 4: their calamity. All right, let's break this down. I will
• 24:48
  Speaker 4: scatter them, God says, I will scatter them as with
• 24:53
  Speaker 4: an east wind before the enemy. Now he describes turning
• 24:59
  Speaker 4: his faith away from them in the day of their calamity.
• 25:04
  Speaker 4: This is a picture of judgment. If people had turned
• 25:09
  Speaker 4: their backs on God, now they would experience the consequences
• 25:14
  Speaker 4: of that rejection. Now there's something very serious we have
• 25:20
  Speaker 4: to look at here. God is loving, God is merciful,
• 25:26
  Speaker 4: God is a patient God. But God is also holy.
• 25:35
  Speaker 4: We can't talk about God's love while pretending this holiness
• 25:41
  Speaker 4: does not exist. And it's sad to say that a
• 25:46
  Speaker 4: lot of pastors preach exactly like this. People don't want
• 25:53
  Speaker 4: to touch on the holiness of God. They just want
• 25:57
  Speaker 4: to touch on the love of God.
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 26:03
  Speaker 4: Grace does not mean that sin doesn't matter. And mercy
• 26:08
  Speaker 4: gives us an opportunity to repent of our sin, not
• 26:13
  Speaker 4: continue in it, not give a license or an excuse
• 26:17
  Speaker 4: for it. But we shouldn't mistake mercy for permission to
• 26:27
  Speaker 4: keep doing whatever we want to do. And we say
• 26:33
  Speaker 4: that again, we cannot mistake mercy for permission to keep
• 26:37
  Speaker 4: doing whatever we want to do. Now, the point is,
• 26:44
  Speaker 4: do not forget God. The heart of Jeremiah eighteen twelve
• 26:51
  Speaker 4: through seventeen is this, don't forget the one who had
• 26:56
  Speaker 4: been faithful to you, Judah for God God. And they
• 27:02
  Speaker 4: chose their own way, They followed their own desires, they
• 27:09
  Speaker 4: worship worthless things, and eventually they had to face the consequences.
• 27:17
  Speaker 4: So today, ask yourself, have I forgotten God? Not physically,
• 27:24
  Speaker 4: not intellectually, but in the way that I live? Has
• 27:31
  Speaker 4: God become something I fit into my schedule instead of
• 27:35
  Speaker 4: the one around whom I build my life? Let me
• 27:42
  Speaker 4: ask that question again. Has God become something I fit
• 27:47
  Speaker 4: into my schedule instead of the one around whom I
• 27:53
  Speaker 4: build my life. That's a question worth answering. Honestly, that's
• 28:03
  Speaker 4: a good question for the accountability partner as well. I
• 28:08
  Speaker 4: belove it. Let's take a break.
• 28:12
  Speaker 5: You are listening to the light of Las Vegas. This
• 28:15
  Speaker 5: is the hiss hop radio show.
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: Such your fun direction. When I wake up in the morning,
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: I go praying.
• 28:33
  Speaker 6: I see it can't afford to let nobody play with
• 28:36
  Speaker 6: my piece. When my life get on the roll, I
• 28:38
  Speaker 6: end up breaking the streak that I'm afraid to get into.
• 28:41
  Speaker 6: Old for facing my peak every birthday make me feel
• 28:44
  Speaker 6: like LiF's been moving too fast. I feel like I
• 28:46
  Speaker 6: just turned thirty. Now that's deep in the past. If
• 28:49
  Speaker 6: life a highway, feel like I'm doing a dash when
• 28:51
  Speaker 6: I ain't living. God, wait what I'm gonna do when
• 28:53
  Speaker 6: I crash isolated from family, I be too out of touch.
• 28:57
  Speaker 6: Me and my daddy on then turns. But when you're
• 28:59
  Speaker 6: talking that much, he the only one I know. That's
• 29:02
  Speaker 6: why I showing respect. I want to call that man
• 29:04
  Speaker 6: right now, but something holdly me back. I got fot
• 29:07
  Speaker 6: that's calling me dad, and I'm doing my best. Every
• 29:09
  Speaker 6: week I'm up another bag. I told them they blessed man.
• 29:12
  Speaker 6: I say I'm too hard on them.
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: Some say I'm.
• 29:14
  Speaker 6: Correct, but I can't let the devil fall on them.
• 29:17
  Speaker 6: I stay on they neck. I don't ask for much
• 29:19
  Speaker 6: because I got issues with rejection.
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: Don't repent enough. I be hoping. I'm stelf protected.
• 29:24
  Speaker 6: I've been in a war today with all my imperfections
• 29:27
  Speaker 6: in the darkest place, searching for an accent. I'm searching
• 29:30
  Speaker 6: for direction, direction, searching for direction. I'm searching for direction
• 29:42
  Speaker 6: every time I see myself in the mirror. All this
• 29:45
  Speaker 6: guilt within my visions, so where it ain't getting clearer
• 29:48
  Speaker 6: doing everything God hate, don't even act like I fear
• 29:50
  Speaker 6: him on the outside, I'm straight, but it don't.
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: Match the interior thought.
• 29:54
  Speaker 6: I figured out the play, but still can't even obey thought.
• 29:57
  Speaker 6: I figured out the way, yet I've been sitting in
• 29:59
  Speaker 6: place good. I had a record label that I went
• 30:01
  Speaker 6: the wrong way. It seemed like Garay Day, most stable
• 30:04
  Speaker 6: when I do my own things. When I watched my
• 30:06
  Speaker 6: brother pat, that reminded me of why I changed. I
• 30:09
  Speaker 6: got my father's habits combined with my mother's ways. Can't
• 30:12
  Speaker 6: blame my father actions for anything causing pain. I done
• 30:15
  Speaker 6: found a narrow path, but it feels like I'm selling
• 30:17
  Speaker 6: chains in the vehicle.
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: Of righteousness, moving until I wrecked it. I knew all
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: the laws to a bide too, but I left it.
• 30:23
  Speaker 6: I've been in the war today with all my imperfections,
• 30:26
  Speaker 6: in the darkest place, searching for an exit.
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: I'm searching for direction. I'm searching for direction. I'm searching search.
• 30:52
  Speaker 5: You are listening to the Light of Las Vegas. This
• 30:56
  Speaker 5: is the hiss Hop Radio Show.
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: All right, beloved.
• 31:17
  Speaker 4: That was our brother hering the light, helping us out
• 31:22
  Speaker 4: with the music break here on his high Radio podcast.
• 31:25
  Speaker 4: This is verse by verse. I'm your brother, I'm your host,
• 31:30
  Speaker 4: mister hits Hop. I gonna give a quick shout out
• 31:33
  Speaker 4: to the live chat. Shout out to our brother's own three,
• 31:37
  Speaker 4: our trivia champ from yesterday. We appreciate you, brother, keep
• 31:42
  Speaker 4: up the good work. Also, shout out to our brother Corinth.
• 31:47
  Speaker 4: He came through to say what's up in the live chat.
• 31:52
  Speaker 4: We are still working out our community situation. We're going
• 31:58
  Speaker 4: back and forth from our YouTube community back to the
• 32:03
  Speaker 4: live chat. On the his Hot Radio app. You can
• 32:07
  Speaker 4: find the community in the menu on the his Hot
• 32:12
  Speaker 4: Radio app. Just pick that top left menu, get that
• 32:16
  Speaker 4: drive down and go all the way down until you
• 32:19
  Speaker 4: see the word community and you can jump in right
• 32:25
  Speaker 4: there on that tab. That's where you're gonna find the trivia,
• 32:30
  Speaker 4: the accountability challenge, all that good stuff. And I don't know,
• 32:37
  Speaker 4: I need some feedback. Let me know, my brothers. If
• 32:41
  Speaker 4: y'all like the community on YouTube, I don't know. I'm
• 32:45
  Speaker 4: just thinking about bringing everything back to the live chat
• 32:49
  Speaker 4: until we get everything squared away. Maybe we could use
• 32:52
  Speaker 4: it for other things. I don't know what you guys think.
• 32:56
  Speaker 4: Get me with some feedback. Speaking of feedback, it is
• 33:02
  Speaker 4: time for the accountability partner. This is where we can
• 33:09
  Speaker 4: build borders and keep ourselves safe on this spiritual journey.
• 33:14
  Speaker 4: The Bible calls us dumb sheep, and so we cannot
• 33:20
  Speaker 4: trust the dictates of our own hearts. We see this
• 33:24
  Speaker 4: and the passage that we're reading today, they deliberately said
• 33:27
  Speaker 4: that they're going to follow the dictates of their own
• 33:31
  Speaker 4: evil heart, like they preferred that rather than doing things
• 33:36
  Speaker 4: God's way. And as I think about it, as I
• 33:41
  Speaker 4: was teaching the eulogy, and this was actually the message
• 33:47
  Speaker 4: God has been dealing with me on how we can
• 33:50
  Speaker 4: follow the dictates of our own heart. And unfortunately, when
• 33:55
  Speaker 4: I was teaching, we could see the people who decided
• 33:59
  Speaker 4: to follow their own hearts by their reaction and by
• 34:04
  Speaker 4: their attitudes. Amen. So the challenge for the accountability partner
• 34:14
  Speaker 4: is this, ask your accountability partner, what is the one
• 34:24
  Speaker 4: thing you think could distract me from keeping God first
• 34:29
  Speaker 4: in my life? I mean I say again, what is
• 34:33
  Speaker 4: the one thing you think could distract me from keeping
• 34:38
  Speaker 4: God first for my life? Then have an honest conversation
• 34:44
  Speaker 4: about it. The purpose is not to criticize each other,
• 34:50
  Speaker 4: but it's to help each other recognize blind spots before
• 34:57
  Speaker 4: those distractions become idols. Hey man, we don't want any
• 35:04
  Speaker 4: distraction to become an idol in our life. Also, we
• 35:17

• 36:40
  Speaker 4: to these verses, what does God say his people had forgotten?
• 36:47
  Speaker 4: And what had they turned to instead? And you read
• 36:52
  Speaker 4: it again according to these verses, what does God say
• 36:57
  Speaker 4: his people had forgotten? What had they turned to instead

  Speaker 4: to become more important to you than your relationship with God. Now,
• 38:07
  Speaker 4: be honest, Sometimes the things that distract us from God
• 38:15
  Speaker 4: isn't something bad. Sometimes it's something that is good actually,

  Speaker 4: that we've allowed to become more important than God. Hey man,

• 40:24
  Speaker 4: can get you on the list. And I believe that's it,
• 40:41
  Speaker 4: belove it. It's time for our closing remarks for today.
• 40:50
  Speaker 4: Jeremiah eighteen twelve through seventeen is a serious warning that
• 41:00
  Speaker 4: we need to take hey to God's people had reached
• 41:03
  Speaker 4: a place where they weren't interested in changing their lives.
• 41:08
  Speaker 4: They said that they were going to follow their own path.
• 41:14
  Speaker 4: Then the whole point is that they forgot about God.
• 41:18
  Speaker 4: They turned to worthless things, right like worshiping worthless idols
• 41:25
  Speaker 4: which we know will not profit and will not benefit.
• 41:31
  Speaker 4: And they abandoned their relationship with God. They forgot about
• 41:35
  Speaker 4: God himself. But here's a lesson. Don't wait until you're
• 41:42
  Speaker 4: drifted far away to recognize that you're far from God.
• 41:47
  Speaker 4: Check your heart now, hey man. That's one of my
• 41:52
  Speaker 4: prayers is God showed me me, showed me my heart.
• 41:56
  Speaker 4: And when God shows you your heart, then respond repent
• 42:03
  Speaker 4: and turn away if it's something that is displeasing in
• 42:08
  Speaker 4: his sight, hey man. And see the issue I believe
• 42:18
  Speaker 4: is this, Like I said earlier, the devil doesn't fill
• 42:23
  Speaker 4: our hearts with hatred towards God. He just distracts us
• 42:29
  Speaker 4: so much to where we forget about God. We do
• 42:34
  Speaker 4: not allow God to be our priority. As he is
• 42:38
  Speaker 4: supposed to be right. So a good self check, A
• 42:44
  Speaker 4: good thing to do is ask yourself, am I still
• 42:47
  Speaker 4: seeking him? Am I still listening to his voice? And
• 42:52
  Speaker 4: my still obeying him? Am I still grateful for what
• 42:56
  Speaker 4: he has already done? Do not allow success to make
• 43:01
  Speaker 4: you forget God. Do not allow disappointment to make you
• 43:06
  Speaker 4: forget about God. Do not allow busyness to make you
• 43:12
  Speaker 4: forget about God. There's actually a verse in the Book
• 43:17
  Speaker 4: of Psalms. I can't think of the address, but there's
• 43:21
  Speaker 4: a verse that says that all nations who forget about
• 43:24
  Speaker 4: God will be turned into hell. Just forgetting about God
• 43:29
  Speaker 4: qualifies us to make it into hell and disqualifies us
• 43:39
  Speaker 4: from making it into the kingdom. We do not want
• 43:41
  Speaker 4: to miss the kingdom, and don't allow your own desires
• 43:48
  Speaker 4: to become more important than his will. Remember what God
• 43:55
  Speaker 4: has done, remember his faithfulness, remember his word, and more
• 44:00
  Speaker 4: most importantly, remember him. Stay in the word, stay humble,
• 44:07
  Speaker 4: stay close to God, and do not forget the one
• 44:14
  Speaker 4: who never forgot about you. Amen. The Bible says that
• 44:21
  Speaker 4: He will never leave us nor forsake us. This is
• 44:27
  Speaker 4: the most amazing relationship that we could ever have in
• 44:32
  Speaker 4: all eternity. Well, let's not neglect him, all right, belove it.
• 44:38
  Speaker 4: That is my time for today. And remember it's not
• 44:42
  Speaker 4: about us. It's all about the Christ. And as God bless.
• 44:57
  Speaker 5: You are listening to the light of Las Vegas. This
• 45:01
  Speaker 5: is the His Hop radio show.
