  Speaker 1: that you open up the scriptures today, open up our
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: hearts of understanding. We ask the Lord that you illuminate
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: our eyes, Oh God. We ask God, those who are blind,
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: Oh God, after they hear this podcast, they will see.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: We ask Lord Jesus that you will visit each and
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: every one of us with jeens and visions, Oh God.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: They take their time out, Lord God, to meet us
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: in this Life Chat, to meet us on this podcast
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: that develop the daily spiritual discipline. Lord that you are
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: the only superstar. We give you thanks and praise and
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: to the glory be to your name. Amen, Amen, in hallelujah.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: All right, so let's open it up verse eleven, therefore saying,
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: now I'm gonna butcher these name, so forgive me. I'm
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: gonna try to do the best I can. I need
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: to practice these names. Therefore, selling from Troaz, we ran straight.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: We ran a straight course to semul Terras. I think
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: I got that one right, semul Terraces, and the next
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: day came to Napoleons. Now, Paul from the Ministry team says,
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: sail immediately after receiving the vision. If you can remember,
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: they were forbidden to go in different areas, but they
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: received a vision, and I pray, just ask God that'll
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: give you visions and dreams, right, I'm praying for more.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: I've had some, but I want more. I don't really
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: flow in it like I was like, heymen, but after
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: this vision, they went straight immediately to pursue this vision. Now,
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: notice lost another one, and Luke writes, we now that
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: means the author of the Book of Acts joined them
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: in the Ministry team. And we mentioned that he is
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: a physician and maybe he was helping Paul with his
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: eye situation. A lot of commentators in church history said
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: that Paul has something going on with his eyes, and
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: maybe that's how he joined the team. Now the gospel
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: is literally expanding geographically. They travel to Simulteris in the
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: Neapolis place these places you know, you know where they're going,
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: which was it was a port city that was serving Philippi. Now,
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: notice it said that they ran a straight course. Now
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: this indicates favorable wins. Now, knowing that you are on
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: the sea, traveling on the boat and favorable winds are
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: very important, right, we don't want to end up in
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: a storm. Now, God not only gave him the vision
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: and the direction to go, he gave them and he
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: provided for them the momentum to check this out. When
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: you are walking in the will of God, as we
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: see in scripture, things may become challenging. Paul was in
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: the will of God and got whipped and got thrown
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: into jail and got stoned to death, and he was
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: in the will of God. So things can be challenging,
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: as we see in the Book of Acts, but you
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: will see confirmation along the way. Now, sometimes the winds
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: behind us is the Holy Spirit saying you're on the
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: right path. Right your wind could be your spouse or
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: a brother or sister giving you a word from the
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: Lord saying that the Lord is pleased with you and
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: to continue down this path. Or it could be something
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: that you read in your devotional time, your personal time
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: with him Verse twelve. And from there to Philippi, which
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: is the foremost city of that part of Macaddania, Macedonia Macdonia.
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: However you pronounce it a colony, and we were staying
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: in that city for some days.
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: Philippi was a Roman colony, and this is important. Back
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: then Rome ruled the world. They were the superpower, so
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: that means they had Roman status and privileges in their city.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: In this colony. Now it was culturally Rome, even though
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: it was located in Greece. This matters because it shows
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: us something about the Gospel. Christianity doesn't stay confined in
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: one culture. The Gospel crosses borders. You cannot contain the
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: Gospel behind walls. Now that Roman colonies were strategic places
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: for influence. God often sends his servants into centers of
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: culture and power. God doesn't just send believers where it can,
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: where it's comfortable for them. Right, he sends them where
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: influence can spread. Amen. Just think today, Think about the
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: believers and the impacts that they made, like Charlie Kirk.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: Think about all the people who got saved and they
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: were touched with the gospel because of his life. Now
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: Philippi becomes one of the most beloved churches. Remember the
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: church Paul writes to in the book of the Epistle
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: to the Philippians. We have this book here the Philippians,
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: which we get some rich, rich scriptures out of the
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: word Philippi means brotherly love. Now verse thirteen. And on
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: the Sabbath day we went out of the city to
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: the riverside where prayer was customarily made. Now, normally Paul
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: likes to go straight to the synagogues to start his
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: ministry when he travels and he goes to a new area.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: But this is interesting that there was no synagogue in Philippi.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: And we know this because Jewish law requires that there
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: are ten Jewish men in order to form a synagogue.
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: And so instead they met by the riverside for prayer. Now,
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: sometimes ministry begins small. The Bible tells us do not
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: despise the days of small beginnings. Right. That's why I'm
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: always encouraged when we have new people who join in
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: the life Chat and you know, take the time out
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: to give us a shout out or to say something.
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: It's always encouraging to me and exciting to see that grow.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: But I'm not worried about a small beginning if it's
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: just one person in there, which God has blessed me
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: with one person who's consistently there our brothers zoom. Amen.
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: My brother was there with me from the beginning of
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: his hot nain shit, and now he's with me from
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: the beginning of this life chat community. Amen. It's very
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: encouraging as long as the Lord is in the midst
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: of us. Right, it doesn't matter about numbers. It matters
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: about presence, Amen. So don't worry about a small crowd.
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: Maybe you don't have a bit big platform. Just go
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: and pray by the riverside, wherever your riverside is. Just
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: stay faithful to that, faithful to the riverside, faithful to
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: the life chat. Amen. Now, God moves powerfully in small beginnings.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: The Kingdom doesn't always start with a large group of people.
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: It often starts with a conversation with one or two
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: people Verse fourteen. Now, a certain woman named Lydia hurt us.
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: She was a seller of purple from the city of
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: Thya Tyra. Here we meet Lydia or Lida or is
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: it Lydia. I want to say Lida, but I think
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: it's Lydia. Now there are important details here. He was
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: a business woman, So there's nothing wrong with women in business. Amen.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: Now she dealt in purple cloth. Now these are considered
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: luxury goods. These are the Gucci other day, right, the
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: Louis Vatan. She was originally from Thaya Tyra, so she
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: traveled there, and she was a god worshiper. She worshiped
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: God the Great Jehovah yahshu Ahamashiyah. Amen. So we need
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: more Christians who own businesses. Amen, we need more Christian
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: business owners in there. We need more Christians and politics
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: as well. Now that's a whole other podcast. But purple
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: die was extremely expensive back then. Now this means Lydia
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: was likely wealthy and influential. She had status. But here
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: is the most important part of the verse. The Lord
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: opened her heart to heed the things spoken by Paul.
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: Now that is a powerful thing. That is something that
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: only God can do. We cannot open up the hearts
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: of people. Only the Holy Spirit can. That's why it's
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: important for us when we witness not to debate and
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: argue because we're wasting time with someone who has a
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: close heart towards a gospel. When someone who has an
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: open heart towards the gospel who we could reach, were distracted. Right,
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: we need to spend our time and effort with those
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: who the Lord has opened up to receive into hear Amen.
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: No one could truly come to Christ unless God opens
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: their heart. Now, when we evangelize, we just plant the seed.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: But salvation is the work of God. This is huge
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: for believers who share the gospel. So our job is
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: to speak the truth. God's job is to open the heart.
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: You cannot argue someone into salvation. You cannot pressure someone
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: into salvation. Only God can open a heart. And when
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: he does, everything changes, and man is very noticeable. And
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: so we need to add that to our prayer list,
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: especially when we're about to go out and evangelize. And
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: I want to start going out on Saturdays to go
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: outreach and evangelize on prey and for an area, as
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: y'all know, an area posted in a life chat that
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: could use uh some gospel. We're trying to find different
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: stores we can stand in front of, or areas that
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: get a lot of foot traffic, traffic, some public areas
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: where we can pass our flyers and witness. And if
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: you'd like to join us, let us know. Amen now
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: Verse thirteen, and when she and her household were baptized,
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: she begged us saying, if you have judged me to
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: be faithful to the Lord, come to my house and
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: stay now. Lightas or Lydia's response to salvation is immediate.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: She gets baptized straight away, and then she opens up
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: her house. Hospitality becomes a ministry. Her house literally becomes
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: the first gathering place of the church in Philippi. Transformation
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: produces generosity. Amen, We're no longer selfish or self centered
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: regeners with our time, our talents, and with our treasures. Now,
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: when Jesus changes your heart, your home, your resources, and
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: your life becomes tools for the Kingdom. Amen, this becomes
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: your service towards God. This is the first your perient
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: European Europe, the person from Europe. You don't trying to
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: say right.
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: Now, this is.
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: The first convert And it wasn't the president or the king.
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: It wasn't a politician or a soldier. The first convert
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: was a woman whose heart was opened by God. Women
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: are powerful. I love it. You got some faithful women
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: in your corner. You can make a huge impact. There's
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: something dynamic about women when they open up their hearts
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: to the Gospel, and through her obedience the church was born. Amen, hallelujah.
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: Now God directs his servants step by step. Right, he
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: stops them from going to other areas. He brings them here.
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: And also we see that God allows the Gospel to
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: cross cultural borders, in boundaries. They are way in Europe,
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: they are in Greek, but yet they have a rooman
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: culture there and rooman privileges in Philippi. And salvation can
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: only happen when God opens the door. Right, we need
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: to pray for more doors to be opened in our community,
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: and I need y'all to pray for us for His
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: Hot Nation, that God will open up doors to relaunch
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: or reopen club his Hop and to continue the revival
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: we started many years ago. Lord willing, Amen one, All right,
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: let's take a break.
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: You are listening to the light of Las Vegas. This
• 20:58
  Speaker 4: is the His Hop Radio show.
• 21:03
  Speaker 5: I'm fearless, so manny things on my mental good thing.

• 21:19

  Speaker 2: You gotta keep pushing forward.
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: God got you.
• 23:21
  Speaker 6: So many things on my mentors because thing ain't any
• 23:24
  Speaker 6: God knows what I've been through.
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: I've been trying to focus. I can't go. Let go
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: the oh me alread. I got God, so I can't
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: hear need him to show me. Yeah, stay out. No,
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: I don't play.
• 23:35
  Speaker 5: I got angels.
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: They surround me. Walk him in the dock yard. Was
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: lost and then he found me.
• 23:40
  Speaker 6: I can't play his safe because I got pretty much
• 23:43
  Speaker 6: faith when.
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: I walked through the rain.
• 23:46
  Speaker 4: No, you are listening to the light of Las Vegas.
• 24:04
  Speaker 4: This is the Hiss Hop Radio Show.
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: All right, all right, we're back from the break. That's
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: her sister, Jeanne Piper. Check her out. She's got some
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: fire music. Now it's time for the Accountability Partner segment.
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: This segment right here was put on my heart because
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: I notice brothers and sisters in the church that are
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: still struggling with the same sin they struggled with a
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: year ago. When God allows me to work the altar,
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: my heart goes out to them. Sometimes. Some of the
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: reasons why we don't grow while we stay in the
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: same place is because we are not being disciples. We
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: don't have someone in our life that can hold us accountable,
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: someone that can pour into us, someone who can speak
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: the word once we start going crazy, right, you know,
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: the word says, do not lean to your own understanding.
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: We cannot trust our hearts, Beloved, your own heart is
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: not trustworthy. We all get these evil thoughts, we all
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: get these evil inclinations. But through the power of the
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: Holy Spirit, we can mortify the deeds of the flesh.
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: Sometimes it's good to have somebody that we can go to,
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: that can correct us, that can keep us on that
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: narrow path. Right, Jesus says in a parable that the
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: wheat and the tear will both grow up together, and
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: then at the end of the harvest, the wheat will
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: be taken into the barn, but the tear will be
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: thrown in uncoachable fire. So, my beloved is to win all.
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: I want to have a ministry with all wheat, and
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: even if it's a terror, we want to convert the
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: terror into wheat. Amen. Anything is possible for our guide.
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: And I want to make sure that there's no terarra.
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: Sit in my chair right, that I am a wheat
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: and I stayed with the wheat. Amen, And so that
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: accountability is important. If you want to go further in
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: this segment, just click that top left menu hit that
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: drop down, click on podcasts and click on his hot
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: radio podcast and then find the link. Accountability Partner, go
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: through those self check questions. It's important that you do
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: it with integrity, right because you're only fooling yourself, right,
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: You can't fool God. Might as well be honest. And
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: then request a follow up and we will add you
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: to the segment. We will pray with you and help
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: you get the resources you need. But as we saw
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: in this chapter, God has to open up your heart
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: to really want to be able to change, to really
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: want to live an effective life for practice a man. Also,
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: we give you challenges. We give you one in a
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: life chat. And this question for today is who are
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: you praying for that God would open up their hearts?
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: There should be a whole listen to everybody you know.
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: That should be the answer, right there, Everyone that you
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: know and people you don't know, pray that God will
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: open up their hearts. Evangelism isn't about winning an argument.
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: It's about praying for God to do what only he
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: can do. Text your Accountability partner today and commit to
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: praying for one person together. You know, my brother is

  Speaker 1: pray that we're praying for. Some of the people that
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: we were in ministry together. We did songs together, but
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: they're not walking with the Lord yet, but we hope
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: and pray that God will touch their lives. Amen also

  Speaker 1: get a building. We need a building. We need to
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: open up Club His hop once again. We need a
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: place where we have our programs. We have classes, mentorship,
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: we have skills that we want to train our youth
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: and young adults in. We want to get them off
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: the streets. We minister in their juvenile detention centers. We
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: do a lot in the community. We hold concerts and events,
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: but it takes finances and we believe where God guides,
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: he provides. So if you would like to help us financially,
• 31:58

  Speaker 3: Love it.
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: Thank you for sticking with us to the end. We
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: appreciate that, and we appreciate God. Appreciate your faithfulness. You're
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: developing your spiritual muscle, your discipline. You know, our faith
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: must be exercised. Right. We got to take our faith
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: to the gym. And this is part of the process
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: right here, because faith comes by hearing, and as you know,
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: we go deep into the Word of God. And I
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: think I'm gonna start a course teaching inductive Bible studies.
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: Don't know on the Life Chat. If that's something that
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: you would attend. It'll be an online course. It would
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: be probably for subscribers only, but it would be worth
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: the investment. But I'm just throwing it out there. I'm
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: gonna be praying about this because people need to learn
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: how to get deep into the Word. Hallelujah. Now, as
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: I close out, I want to remind you that powerful
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: truth that we got from today's message. We got some
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: powerful nuggets from the Word that even though Paul preached,
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: God opened up the heart of this business woman. Right Paul,
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: it is part he preached and God was able to
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: open a heart. We need to do our part. We
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: need to go outreach, we need to share, we need
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: to preach. We need to give the Holy Spirit something
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: to work with so that hearts will be open. That
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: same God is still willing to open up hearts today.
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: Our obedience might be to lead someone to salvation. So
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: we just need to keep speaking the word. We need
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: to keep praying for people, and we need to continue
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: to trust in the Holy Spirit. Amen, trust in the
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: work of God to do what only he can do.
• 34:43
