1:02
Speaker 3: twenty and we're gonna pick it up from verse sixteen
1:05
Speaker 3: to verse twenty four, and we're gonna hit you with
1:08
Speaker 3: the new King James. That's the version I like. And listen,
1:13
Speaker 3: this is Paul at a whole nother level. We're gonna
1:18
Speaker 3: see Paul use extreme focus. We're gonna see him walking
1:23
Speaker 3: in his conviction. We're gonna see the man who has
1:29
Speaker 3: already counted up the cost and man, we're gonna learn
1:34
Speaker 3: a lot from our story today, and we want you
1:37
Speaker 3: to get the most out of our time together. So
1:40
Speaker 3: I'm gonna invite you to jump into our life chat.

Speaker 3: and then click on the live chat and all you
2:04
Speaker 3: have to do is type in your user email addressing
2:06
Speaker 3: password and you are a part of the family. Yes,
2:12
Speaker 3: welcome to the Kingdom. We like to call ourselves the
2:16
Speaker 3: small group on the radio, your small group Bible study. Also,
2:21
Speaker 3: we like to stay on that narrow path. Jesus himself
2:25
Speaker 3: said that the way to life is a narrow path,
2:29
Speaker 3: and difficult is the way, and there are only few
2:33
Speaker 3: who find it. Hey man, Well, I want to be
2:36
Speaker 3: one of the few. I'm thankful to be one of
2:39
Speaker 3: the few, hey man, And I want to encourage as
2:43
Speaker 3: many people to get off that broad road and come
2:47
Speaker 3: in journey. Right who said that this narrow road has
2:51
Speaker 3: to be lonely. Let's fellowship and let's walk this narrow
2:55
Speaker 3: path together. The way we do it is by holding
2:58
Speaker 3: each other accountable, by praying for each other, encouraging each other,
3:03
Speaker 3: counseling one another in the Word of God, spending time
3:07
Speaker 3: in God's word together. And that's how we do when
3:10
Speaker 3: we interact in the life chat. We're building up a brotherhood,
3:14
Speaker 3: in a sisterhood where hey, if we need prayer or
3:18
Speaker 3: if we have questions about the Bible, or if we're
3:21
Speaker 3: just straight going through something, or if you're struggling with
3:24
Speaker 3: a besetting sin. The Bible says that there is power
3:28
Speaker 3: in agreement. We are here to pray and lift each
3:30
Speaker 3: other up. So yes, that is this is a very
3:34
Speaker 3: interactive podcast. We believe in discipleship because Jesus said to
3:39
Speaker 3: go and make disciples of all nations. So you don't
3:43
Speaker 3: just listen, you participate, all right, y'all. With that being said,
3:47
Speaker 3: let's go to the Father together. Heavenly Father, we thank
3:51
Speaker 3: you for another podcast, another episode. Holy Spirit, we ask
3:55
Speaker 3: it you will take over. We ask it you will
3:57
Speaker 3: open up hearts and minds and everyone who who is
4:01
Speaker 3: supposed to hear this podcast and be a part of
4:04
Speaker 3: this live chat community. We asked that they will be reached,
4:08
Speaker 3: that they will be made aware that this platform exists.
4:12
Speaker 3: And we pray that your Holy Spirit assignment will go
4:15
Speaker 3: out and accomplish the word will not return void. Lord,
4:19
Speaker 3: help us to trust you, help us to believe you,
4:21
Speaker 3: help us to sell out to you today as we
4:26
Speaker 3: lean in your word. And we asked this in Jesus' name,
4:31
Speaker 3: Amen and amen, all right, Just like I said, we're
4:35
Speaker 3: in chapter twenty, verse twenty sixteen to twenty four. So
4:42
Speaker 3: let's started off in verse sixteen. For Paul had decided
4:46
Speaker 3: to sell past Ephesus so that he would not have
4:52
Speaker 3: to spend time in Asia, for he was hurrying to
4:55
Speaker 3: be at Jerusalem if possible on the day of Pentecosts.
5:01
Speaker 3: Now a little bit of background. I skipped a lot
5:05
Speaker 3: of verses because it was just Paul selling from different
5:08
Speaker 3: cities and different cities, and you know, I didn't want
5:11
Speaker 3: to see her and just butcher up names, right, So
5:15
Speaker 3: I skipped down to verse sixteen from where we left
5:19
Speaker 3: off the last episode. But Paul is traveling. Paul went
5:23
Speaker 3: to Emphasis and there was a big riot that happened there,
5:27
Speaker 3: and Paul encourages the disciples as he moves around. Paul
5:33
Speaker 3: had the anointing to come into a territory and start
5:37
Speaker 3: a work for God and go to the next one.
5:39
Speaker 3: It was more like they say, the apostleic anointing is
5:44
Speaker 3: like the anointing to start churches and to plant churches
5:49
Speaker 3: and things like that. And so we do see this
5:51
Speaker 3: operating in the life of the apostle Paul. Now Paul
5:56
Speaker 3: is traveling and he's focused. He avoids different area so
6:00
Speaker 3: that he can meet the feast of Pentecost. And I
6:05
Speaker 3: believe that there's nothing wrong. I'm going through the Bible
6:08
Speaker 3: College right now, and they're talking about the Jewish feast
6:12
Speaker 3: and things like that and how the church should observe them. Like,
6:18
Speaker 3: our faith comes from Israel, it has Judeo Christian values,
6:25
Speaker 3: and it doesn't hurt us if we want to participate
6:28
Speaker 3: in some of the Jewish feast. It's not a salvation
6:32
Speaker 3: issue or anything like that. The only thing we cannot
6:34
Speaker 3: do is put our trust in the Law of Moses
6:37
Speaker 3: for salvation, because Jesus fulfilled the law. But hey, the
6:41
Speaker 3: feast and everything else, like why not? And man, the
6:44
Speaker 3: apostle Paul did it. Now back to the scripture. Now,
6:49
Speaker 3: Paul was not avoiding people. He was just focused on
6:52
Speaker 3: God's timing right here. He knew that if he stops
6:56
Speaker 3: in ever since, that would delay his journey, and remember
7:01
Speaker 3: he wanted to make it on the day of Pentecosts.
7:05
Speaker 3: Now you could say that this is discipline, This is
7:09
Speaker 3: showing discipline in the life of the apostle. Paul said,
7:13
Speaker 3: I can't stop anywhere, even for good things, because I've
7:18
Speaker 3: got a God assignment. So not every opportunity is your assignment.
7:27
Speaker 3: My wife always talks to me and she says, I
7:30
Speaker 3: want to do God things and not just good things.
7:33
Speaker 3: And I can get caught up doing good things and
7:37
Speaker 3: not really seeking God's will and seeing, Okay, is this
7:41
Speaker 3: what God wants me to do right now? So look
7:44
Speaker 3: me up in prayer and ask me. You know, I'm
7:47
Speaker 3: kind of like put my hand to the plow. I'm
7:49
Speaker 3: going all in. You know, I will drive into the
7:51
Speaker 3: wheels fall off, and then I gotta you know, the
7:55
Speaker 3: Lord has to tap me on the shoulder and say, hey,
7:57
Speaker 3: it's the assignment. Is you need to be over here? Now?
8:02
Speaker 3: Hey man, But I love this about Paul. You know
8:05
Speaker 3: he was focused. Even though you could have went and
8:08
Speaker 3: ministered in other areas, he had a focus. He knew
8:12
Speaker 3: what he wanted to accomplish in this season. Verse eventeen
8:19
Speaker 3: from Malitus, he sent to Ephesus and called for the
8:24
Speaker 3: elders in the church. Now, this is your ultimate leadership
8:29
Speaker 3: meeting right here. He called for the elders in the church.
8:33
Speaker 3: Instead of going into the city, Paul calls the leaders.
8:38
Speaker 3: He calls them to himself. Now this shows his international leadership.
8:45
Speaker 3: His leadership was international. I would have loved to be
8:49
Speaker 3: in that meeting. There's a lot of us who are
8:52
Speaker 3: called to leadership in the Body of Christ, and leaders
8:57
Speaker 3: are held to a higher standard, high way of accountability.
9:02
Speaker 3: And man, I understand this myself. You know, leading a club,
9:05
Speaker 3: ministry and pour in people's lives, you could do great
9:09
Speaker 3: damage or you can do great good, but we have
9:12
Speaker 3: to walk a higher standard, in a higher accountability before God.
9:20
Speaker 3: Even though Paul had a mission and he had a focus,
9:25
Speaker 3: he still made time to pour into leaders. Real leaders
9:30
Speaker 3: invest in other leaders even when they're busy. Now that's great.
9:35
Speaker 3: That's a heart of leadership. Real leaders invest in other leaders.
9:40
Speaker 3: And I pray and I hope that even with this podcast,
9:44
Speaker 3: that I'm able to invest what God has given it
9:47
Speaker 3: onto me into other leaders. I pray that others would
9:51
Speaker 3: be able to benefit from it and grow and add
9:56
Speaker 3: to what assignment God has placed in their lives. Amen, hallelujah.
10:04
Speaker 3: That was beautiful. Even though he was busy, he still
10:06
Speaker 3: poured into leaders Amen. Eighteen. And when they had come
10:13
Speaker 3: to him, he said to them, you know, from the
10:16
Speaker 3: first day that I came to Asia, in what manner
10:20
Speaker 3: I always lived among you. Now I checked this out
10:23
Speaker 3: point God, Paul, excuse me. Paul points out to his
10:29
Speaker 3: life style, and I let that drop into your spirit.
10:34
Speaker 3: Not just his words, but his life backed up his message. Amen.
10:42
Speaker 3: And that is something that we need to be able
10:45
Speaker 3: to do ourselves. In the accountability partner segment is helping
10:52
Speaker 3: us with that. It helps us with our lifestyle part
10:55
Speaker 3: of our relationship with God. Not religious, not observing rules
11:00
Speaker 3: and regulations or anything like that. No, it's the lifestyle
11:04
Speaker 3: that we live is what is going to back up
11:07
Speaker 3: our words when we go and preach the gospel. Your
11:12
Speaker 3: life should preach way before your mouth opens. Amen. Al Alujah,
11:18
Speaker 3: thank you for helping us with that Holy Spirit. Nineteen
11:23
Speaker 3: serving the Lord with all humility, with many tears and trials,
11:28
Speaker 3: which happened to me by the plighting of the Jews.
11:33
Speaker 3: Now I can relate to this. Paul's ministry was marked
11:36
Speaker 3: by humility and suffering and emotional investment. Ministry is not
11:46
Speaker 3: a glorious thing. It's a costly thing. A lot of
11:50
Speaker 3: people when they saw that I'm operating a club. Now
11:56
Speaker 3: it was fifty five square foot warehouse and we turned
12:00
Speaker 3: it into a venue. I was able to operate it
12:04
Speaker 3: for seven years, like six and a half, just about
12:09
Speaker 3: seven years, doing shows in Las Vegas every single month
12:15
Speaker 3: except for one month we didn't do it because it
12:18
Speaker 3: felt because we our schedule was the second Friday of
12:21
Speaker 3: every month, and that second friday in it on Valentine's Day.
12:26
Speaker 3: So you know, we wanted to be sensitive to our wives,
12:30
Speaker 3: and we didn't do a show. But other than that,
12:32
Speaker 3: we were faithful to do shows. We did majority of
12:37
Speaker 3: free shows, and we did do shows where we had
12:40
Speaker 3: to sell tickets because the bigger artists like Bizo and
12:44
Speaker 3: artists like that who came to the venue, you know,
12:47
Speaker 3: you had to pay to get them there. There was
12:49
Speaker 3: a price we had to pay. So with that being said,
12:53
Speaker 3: you can imagine that some made test his own three.
12:58
Speaker 3: He saw a lot of it. And if there's some
13:01
Speaker 3: people that you would talk to from that era, you
13:04
Speaker 3: would see that I endued a lot of animosity. There
13:08
Speaker 3: was a lot of hatred, a lot of hating, a
13:11
Speaker 3: lot of jealousy. There were, you know, people that would
13:15
Speaker 3: slander me, people who would have issues. They wouldn't come
13:17
Speaker 3: talk to me about it, but they would go and
13:19
Speaker 3: spew poison and things like that, and then trust me,
13:23
Speaker 3: I love them, I forgive them. I got pasted all that,
13:26
Speaker 3: But if you look in the spiritual realm, that was
13:29
Speaker 3: nothing but the enemy. The enemy loves to divide the
13:33
Speaker 3: work that God is doing in tactics like that, and
13:36
Speaker 3: I wasn't really mature enough or equipped enough to fight
13:41
Speaker 3: back in the spirit. You know, I got into my
13:44
Speaker 3: flesh and a lot of occasions and made situations worse.
13:47
Speaker 3: I will say that I was not the perfect minister
13:52
Speaker 3: back then, but I believe God allowed me to go
13:54
Speaker 3: through that through training. But anyway, the reason why I'm
13:58
Speaker 3: saying that is because you can't jump up the ministry
14:02
Speaker 3: because you want the limelight. You think it's a glorious thing.
14:05
Speaker 3: You think you'll be rich and famous. You think people
14:08
Speaker 3: will know your name. A lot of people wanna go
14:10
Speaker 3: upfront and be the preachers or go and say the leader.
14:15
Speaker 3: I can do this better than you. And I've seen
14:17
Speaker 3: a lot of church splits where people will take half
14:20
Speaker 3: the church and start another church because they want to
14:22
Speaker 3: be a pastor and lead people out of ego. Uh
14:26
Speaker 3: uh uh. I've had a taste of ministry and I
14:29
Speaker 3: tell you I'm not doing this for selfish ambition. There's
14:32
Speaker 3: a lot of tears that go with this. There's a
14:35
Speaker 3: lot of humility. There is a lot of trials that
14:40
Speaker 3: come with ministry. As a matter of fact, if you
14:44
Speaker 3: wanna be a pastor, if you're not called, you're crazy,
14:49
Speaker 3: you are insane. If you wanna be a pastor, that
14:53
Speaker 3: is a spiritual calling and it is not easy. Now
14:56
Speaker 3: I don't wanna discourage anyone. It's very rewarding. I mean
15:00
Speaker 3: a lot of blessing.
15:01
Speaker 1: You know.
15:01
Speaker 3: I can't wait to get back in that position to
15:06
Speaker 3: where I'm pouring into the community like I was, and
15:09
Speaker 3: i want to do a good service for God. But
15:12
Speaker 3: I'm at the point and I keep this in prayer
15:15
Speaker 3: that I'm not doing this out of trying to find
15:18
Speaker 3: glory for myself or things like that, because I'm just
15:22
Speaker 3: being honest, a straight shooter. Ministry is not glorious. It's
15:28
Speaker 3: not and you're held accountable. God will hold you to
15:31
Speaker 3: a stricter judgment because you're speaking for Him and you're
15:36
Speaker 3: serving Him and you have a bigger target by the
15:39
Speaker 3: devil on your back. So it's almost like double jeopardy,
15:43
Speaker 3: you know what I mean, Like you really want to
15:45
Speaker 3: be in a position. You know, you really want to
15:48
Speaker 3: be in a position to where you're held to a
15:52
Speaker 3: higher standard by God and you're a bigger target for
15:55
Speaker 3: the enemy. Like you really have to have your life
15:57
Speaker 3: and balanced if you want to be in that leadership capacity.
16:04
Speaker 3: But like I said, if you're called to do it,
16:06
Speaker 3: you're accountable if you don't. And man, all I'm saying
16:10
Speaker 3: is do it for the right reason. Do it with
16:13
Speaker 3: the right heart and the right mind and the right preparation,
16:16
Speaker 3: knowing what you are walking into. That's why I wouldn't
16:21
Speaker 3: just break off and you know, start my own thing
16:23
Speaker 3: because I'm talented and rely on your talent. That is crazy.
16:27
Speaker 3: And if you are foul right, if you're not doing
16:31
Speaker 3: it correctly and you lead thousands of people to hell,
16:35
Speaker 3: you have to their blood is on your hands. Like,
16:38
Speaker 3: this is not a light thing. You can't just go
16:41
Speaker 3: out and say, well, you know what, I can do
16:43
Speaker 3: this better than so and so, or I could wrap
16:46
Speaker 3: I can seeing go I'm gonna do this and I'm
16:47
Speaker 3: gonna start my own thing. No, you gotta be called,
16:50
Speaker 3: and you gotta be sure that God is leading you
16:54
Speaker 3: in this and that you've been equipped and prepared hallelujah.
17:00
Speaker 3: All right. As you can tell, I'm passionate about that.
17:03
Speaker 3: I actually speak in my life. I've lived it. I've
17:07
Speaker 3: had people that have artists that were in my ministry
17:09
Speaker 3: and under my leadership who were just coming out of
17:15
Speaker 3: lives like homosexuality and drugs or things like that, and
17:20
Speaker 3: they want to get up on the platform. And first
17:23
Speaker 3: of all, I let them do open mic and things
17:25
Speaker 3: like that, but I wouldn't let them like headline a
17:27
Speaker 3: show until you know, I saw maturity, until I saw
17:31
Speaker 3: them grow in their walk with the Lord and get
17:34
Speaker 3: away from their lifestyle. And one artist, she approached me
17:37
Speaker 3: and she said that I want to go to bars
17:39
Speaker 3: and minister because there was another Christian artist, which I
17:44
Speaker 3: really don't know his life. I can't say that you
17:47
Speaker 3: know he was Christian or not or whatever. I'm like,
17:50
Speaker 3: I don't know his lifestyle. But and I don't say
17:53
Speaker 3: there's anything wrong with going into bars, you know, secular
17:56
Speaker 3: bars to minister. But I told her, I'm I'm like, look,
18:01
Speaker 3: he is equipped and he was anointed and led by
18:04
Speaker 3: God to go into those areas. Right now. If you went,
18:07
Speaker 3: because she was just a couple of months saved, you
18:09
Speaker 3: would fall back into your old lifestyle, like what's gonna
18:13
Speaker 3: stop you from participating and the activities after you get
18:18
Speaker 3: off the stage, getting drunk and high and you know,
18:21
Speaker 3: talking to other women. Because she was dealing with homosexuality.
18:24
Speaker 3: I was trying to protect her and wait until she
18:27
Speaker 3: was mature and get her to the place where she
18:30
Speaker 3: can hear God and go where God wants her to go.
18:33
Speaker 3: And man, So these are just a couple of points
18:36
Speaker 3: I want to bring out because I live them. You know,
18:39
Speaker 3: I'm not trying to control people because I'm accountable, you
18:43
Speaker 3: know what I mean? Like, if I know you're going
18:44
Speaker 3: into danger, why push you into danger? Man? And also
18:49
Speaker 3: we're accountable to be humble and listen to leadership. If
18:52
Speaker 3: I can't listen to my pastor then what makes you
18:55
Speaker 3: think I'm gonna listen to the Holy Spirit and submit?
18:58
Speaker 3: So it's also a character issue on on our part
19:00
Speaker 3: as well. So if you do want to start a ministry,
19:04
Speaker 3: I just want you to understand those responsibilities that come
19:08
Speaker 3: with it. Amen. Where am I How I kept back
19:13
Speaker 3: nothing helpful? Okay? Verse twenty? How I cut back nothing
19:21
Speaker 3: that was helpful, that proclaimed it, but proclaimed it to
19:25
Speaker 3: you and taught you publicly and from house to house. Amen.
19:31
Speaker 3: Now Paul gave the full counsel of God and not
19:34
Speaker 3: holding anything back. Paul did not compromise anything. He didn't
19:40
Speaker 3: water anything down at all. And that's kind of the
19:44
Speaker 3: approach that I'm taking even today to sharing with you
19:48
Speaker 3: my ministry experience. We need to be bold when we're
19:54
Speaker 3: teaching the Gospel of Christ. We need to teach the
19:59
Speaker 3: truth that challenges, not just comforts people and man, we
20:04
Speaker 3: need to challenge people to come out of a sinful lifestyle.
20:10
Speaker 3: Twenty one testifying to the Jews and also to the Greeks,
20:13
Speaker 3: repentance towards God and faith towards our Lord Jesus Christ.
20:21
Speaker 3: Now this message was consistent and this is the whole
20:25
Speaker 3: gospel message right here. Repentance and faith towards God. Turn
20:32
Speaker 3: from sin, as we need to be preaching. Turn to
20:36
Speaker 3: God is what we need to be preaching, and to
20:40
Speaker 3: put our trust in Jesus Christ for everything. There's no shortcuts,
20:46
Speaker 3: there's no edits, there's no prompts we could use to
20:50
Speaker 3: get into the kingdom. This is it. This is the
20:54
Speaker 3: gospel message. Turn from sin, turn to God, and try
21:00
Speaker 3: in Jesus. When things happen in your life. Whoever or
21:05
Speaker 3: whatever you turn to is your God if you're not
21:10
Speaker 3: turning to God. Right, because because of the fall, let
21:16
Speaker 3: me explain this. Because of the fall, pain entered into
21:20
Speaker 3: the human existence, the human experience.
21:24
Speaker 1: Right.
21:24
Speaker 3: He told Adam that through the sweat of thy brow
21:29
Speaker 3: thou will eat. Through painful toil, thou will eat. And
21:34
Speaker 3: he told the woman that through having children it will
21:38
Speaker 3: be painful. But the question is what do we do
21:43
Speaker 3: with that pain? Amen? And pain actually gives the enemy
21:50
Speaker 3: an opportunity if we don't know how to deal with pain,
21:55
Speaker 3: this is really the sum of everything. Right, we can
22:00
Speaker 3: take our pain to the Lord and get healed. Or
22:05
Speaker 3: pain is like ringing a bell to Satan in his
22:09
Speaker 3: demonic army, because now they can come in through that pain.
22:15
Speaker 3: If you choose to be bitter, unforgiving, if you choose
22:18
Speaker 3: to drink, do drugs. Some people are promiscuous. Some people
22:22
Speaker 3: have been molested in life and just have a promiscuous life.
22:27
Speaker 3: I mean not to take light of these things. Pain
22:29
Speaker 3: is real, Pain is hard, Pain is traumatizing. But I'm
22:33
Speaker 3: just trying to get you to understand that the enemy
22:37
Speaker 3: uses our pain. You know, it's not what happened to you.
22:42
Speaker 3: It's your response afterwards. Let God restore you. Amen, That's
22:48
Speaker 3: a whole another podcast right there. Amen, Where am i?
22:54
Speaker 3: And see now twenty two? And see now I go
23:00
Speaker 3: bound in the spirit to Jerusalem, not knowing the things
23:05
Speaker 3: that will happen to me there. Paul was led by
23:11
Speaker 3: the spirit even without knowing the outcome. This is deep faith,
23:17
Speaker 3: and this is where I want to be in my
23:18
Speaker 3: walk with God. Amen, I be transparent. I do struggle
23:24
Speaker 3: come short a lot when it comes to just having
23:28
Speaker 3: faith and believing God, no matter what it looks like.
23:32
Speaker 3: Obedience without full information, without getting a memo, right, we
23:37
Speaker 3: still need to trust and obey. You don't need all
23:41
Speaker 3: the details. You just need the direction from the Lord.
23:46
Speaker 3: Sometimes he will give us one step before he gives
23:48
Speaker 3: us the next step. Hallelujah twenty three. Except that the
23:56
Speaker 3: Holy Spirit testifies in every city saying that change on
24:00
Speaker 3: tribulations await me. Now this is deep. I really want
24:07
Speaker 3: you to pay attention to this part on me and
24:09
Speaker 3: on this scripture. Highlight it right, because all of you
24:13
Speaker 3: suffering was ahead, but it didn't stop him. He still
24:18
Speaker 3: went forward to do God's will. He knew that they
24:22
Speaker 3: were suffering. Now, you just said he didn't know the steps,
24:25
Speaker 3: he didn't know what God was doing, but he knew
24:27
Speaker 3: this part. And so God will share certain things. Right.
24:32
Speaker 3: God will share things like you know what I mean?
24:37
Speaker 3: Like God is sovereign, he does what he wants right,
24:40
Speaker 3: He's loving as well. And if we're about to head
24:43
Speaker 3: into a situation like this, God will give us a
24:48
Speaker 3: heads up to prepare us. Now, imagining that knowing trouble
24:52
Speaker 3: is waiting you and you still say yes, that is
24:57
Speaker 3: next level commitment. How many of us can do that?
25:00
Speaker 3: How many of us can say that that's where we
25:02
Speaker 3: are in our relationship with God. Amen, I pray that
25:07
Speaker 3: the Holy Spirit will help us get there if we're
25:10
Speaker 3: not twenty four. But none of these things move me,
25:16
Speaker 3: nor do I count my life dear to myself, so
25:20
Speaker 3: that I may finish my race with joy in the
25:25
Speaker 3: ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify
25:29
Speaker 3: to the gospel of the grace of God. Hallelujah. Now,
25:35
Speaker 3: this is one of Paul's most powerful declarations in scripture.
25:41
Speaker 3: His life is fully surrendered to God's purpose. This is
25:48
Speaker 3: the heart of this epistle. None of these things move
25:55
Speaker 3: me a man. That's a T shirt right here. None
25:58
Speaker 3: of these things move me me. Paul did not allow
26:03
Speaker 3: fear to stop him. Paul did not allow pain to
26:09
Speaker 3: stop him, or even uncertainty. Paul was willing to lay
26:13
Speaker 3: his life down. Paul just wanted to finish his race. Hallelujah.
26:20
Speaker 3: Now the question is can we say the same let
26:28
Speaker 3: that hit you in the spirit as we take a
26:30
Speaker 3: quick break? Love it.
26:32
Speaker 4: You are listening to the light of Las Vegas. This
26:36

Speaker 1: it up and get it off just like roll bounce.
27:55
Speaker 4: I just need to slow down.

Speaker 1: I don't mean to cry, but I know I bleed sometimes. Yeah,
28:03
Speaker 1: but I know I bleed sometimes, y'all. Every day not easy,
28:07
Speaker 1: but I try. Every time I open up my ears,
28:09
Speaker 1: the devil tell me like I'm in constantly in battles
28:12
Speaker 1: with my flesh and with my mind. Sometimes I want
28:14
Speaker 1: to isolate myself, but it ain't fine. I've been meditating
28:17
Speaker 1: on the wrong things. I feel that lonely, but I

35:20
Speaker 3: What did Paul say did not move him? Let me
35:25
Speaker 3: ask it again. What did Paul say did not move him?
35:30
Speaker 3: Was it persecution? Was it fear? Was it changed and tribulation?
35:36
Speaker 3: Or was it his past? Paul refused to be moved?
35:40
Speaker 3: And what did he say in his own words would
35:43
Speaker 3: not move him from the call of God on his life? Amen?
35:51
Speaker 3: All right, Now we want to give a community shout out.
35:54
Speaker 3: This is where we show love to the local community

36:39

36:45

Speaker 3: for a local business. You just have to be in

37:04
Speaker 3: get his hot Nation up in there nonprofit organization. But
37:08
Speaker 3: guess what, I'm about to open up a LLC here
37:12
Speaker 3: pretty soon. Hallelujah. I'm praying about that. But if you're
37:18
Speaker 3: in the Las Vegas area and you're thinking about it,

Speaker 3: become a subscriber and get all this information we're doing
38:14
Speaker 3: in the community. And also another date I want to
38:17
Speaker 3: do is or I want to give, is that we
38:21
Speaker 3: are now going to open up it's our radio to
38:24
Speaker 3: AI music. We are going to have a AI segment
38:29
Speaker 3: and we're gonna do it every Friday on this podcast,
38:33
Speaker 3: and instead of doing our regular breaks and playing music,
38:37
Speaker 3: we are going to do an AI music segment. And
38:41
Speaker 3: We're gonna start this next Friday because I'm going out
38:43
Speaker 3: of town this week. And so basically the qualifications are
38:49
Speaker 3: has gotta be your original song that you remixed in AI. Man,
38:54
Speaker 3: You're not necessarily looking for just people who just put
38:58
Speaker 3: prompts in and create a song out of Nowhere because
39:02
Speaker 3: there's a lot of copyright issues with that. They're still
39:04
Speaker 3: trying to work all that out because AI likes to
39:07
Speaker 3: borrow from other music styles that belong to different artists,
39:12
Speaker 3: and it was like that, I don't know how it
39:13
Speaker 3: all works. I know it's all new, but I started
39:17
Speaker 3: remixing some of my old music and man, I'm telling you,
39:21
Speaker 3: it is amazing what it sounds like. And so we're
39:25
Speaker 3: gonna talk about it. So tell your friend's family, all
39:29
Speaker 3: the artists you know if they have anything remixed with AI.
39:32
Speaker 3: I believe we have the first platform to do this
39:36
Speaker 3: the AI song of the Week and then will get
39:39
Speaker 3: you some rotation on the radio station. And as I
39:42
Speaker 3: said earlier, we are a charting radio station. I don't know.
39:45
Speaker 3: Maybe we'll start inn AI charts separately as well, and man,
39:52
Speaker 3: it will be the first to do it. Hallelujah. Last,
39:57
Speaker 3: but not least, I also want to let you know
40:00
Speaker 3: that His Hot Nation is a five oh one c three,
40:04
Speaker 3: a public charity. We need your support to continue to
40:09
Speaker 3: do what we do. We open up a Christian club
40:12
Speaker 3: in twenty twelve. That costs money. I paid everything out
40:16
Speaker 3: of my own pocket not to too my horn, or
40:19
Speaker 3: to panel myself from the back, or to make you
40:21
Speaker 3: feel sorry for me. No, it was awesome. It was
40:24
Speaker 3: my service unto the Lord. But I was lacking wisdom
40:28
Speaker 3: because I worked a lot of overtime, racked up taxes.
40:31
Speaker 3: But by the grace of God, I just this year
40:35
Speaker 3: got out of debt. I finally paid back the taxes
40:40
Speaker 3: that I owed he man for operating the club off
40:43
Speaker 3: of my overtime. Imagine, from twenty eighteen until just this year,
40:49
Speaker 3: I was paying taxes. So that was a lot of
40:52
Speaker 3: money out of my pocket, not to mention that my
40:55
Speaker 3: partners stole about twenty grand from me. And though some
40:59
Speaker 3: of the reasons is why, you know, I had to
41:02
Speaker 3: shut the club down. The club went down because of
41:04
Speaker 3: financial issues and I had marital issues as well, you know,
41:09
Speaker 3: but it was more financial and it wasn't COVID because
41:13
Speaker 3: it was in twenty eighteen. COVID didn't come until twenty twenty.
41:16
Speaker 3: So just to give you a little history, So since
41:21
Speaker 3: then we become a nonprofit organization, woking for grants, donors, supporters,
41:26
Speaker 3: monthly supporters five dollars a month. You can do so
41:31
Speaker 3: is something is great whatever you do and also even
41:35
Speaker 3: know the principles to where if you're struggling financially, start giving.
41:40
Speaker 3: The Bible says it's better to give than to receive,
41:43
Speaker 3: and giving will just open up blessings and open up
41:46
Speaker 3: doors for prosperity. Hallelujah. I'm not a prosperity preacher, but
41:51
Speaker 3: I'm sharing the principles. Look this up yourself, study yourself.
41:55
Speaker 3: So I also, I don't want to rob anyone who
41:59
Speaker 3: would like to pour into his Hot Nation. I don't
42:02
Speaker 3: want to rob you of your blessing to be able
42:04
Speaker 3: to give. So you can do that on our website,
42:07
Speaker 3: his hot nation dot com, or on the app, his
42:09
Speaker 3: hot Radio, on all platforms. That being said, that's my time,
42:18
Speaker 3: but I'm gonna close out with this family. Don't let
42:21
Speaker 3: life move you off of your assignment. Stay focused. Like
42:27
Speaker 3: our apostle Paul did. Now say it with me, none
42:31
