- 0:37Speaker 3: Welcome back to the his Hob Radio podcast where faith, hope,
- 0:42Speaker 3: and hip hop meet. I'm your brother, I'm your host,
- 0:45Speaker 3: mister his Hop, and today we continue our powerful study
- 0:50Speaker 3: through the Book of Jeremiah. Today we're diving into Jeremiah
- 0:56Speaker 3: Chapter two. We're gonna go from verse twenty six to
- 1:01Speaker 3: verse thirty seven, and this passage deals with spiritual shame, rebellion,
- 1:07Speaker 3: false security, and the consequences of turning away from God. Now,
- 1:15Speaker 3: this message is a wake up call because God confronts
- 1:19Speaker 3: people who only seek Him when they are in trouble,
- 1:24Speaker 3: while rejecting him when it's time for rest, or when
- 1:31Speaker 3: they're at peace or when they're comfortable. How many of
- 1:36Speaker 3: us have been there before. When we don't need anything,
- 1:41Speaker 3: we forget about God. We're all good. But yeah, when
- 1:45Speaker 3: it's time of troubled and turmoil, it seems like that's
- 1:51Speaker 3: when we seek Him the most right. Today's episode is
- 1:56Speaker 3: called Ashamed of Their Idols. Get your Bibles, you know,

- 4:09Speaker 3: and praise. We pray that people will get delivered, healed,
- 4:13Speaker 3: and set free as a hunger and thirst for your
- 4:17Speaker 3: presence and for your word the Assis in Jesus' name. Amen,
- 4:29Speaker 3: all right, Jeremiah twenty six and twenty seven, coming at
- 4:35Speaker 3: you from the new King, James. And as we know,
- 4:38Speaker 3: the nation of Israel was undeclined. They called Jeremiah the
- 4:43Speaker 3: Weeping Prophet because he had to oversee the downfall of
- 4:48Speaker 3: his nation. And I believe that we are going through
- 4:53Speaker 3: something similar to this in the United States itself. And
- 5:02Speaker 3: so let's go through this, and let's see what our
- 5:07Speaker 3: brother had to go through and how he came through everything.
- 5:12Speaker 3: And man Verse twenty six and twenty seven. As the
- 5:16Speaker 3: thief is ashamed when he is found out, so is
- 5:21Speaker 3: the house of Israel ashamed. They and their kings and
- 5:26Speaker 3: their princes and their priests in their prophets saying to
- 5:32Speaker 3: a tree you are my father, and to a stone
- 5:37Speaker 3: you have brought you gave birth to me. But they
- 5:43Speaker 3: have turned their backs to me, and not their faces.
- 5:49Speaker 3: But in the time of their trouble, they will say,
- 5:53Speaker 3: arise and save us. Wow, let's break it down.
- 6:00Speaker 5: Now.
- 6:02Speaker 3: God compares Israel to a thief caught in the act,
- 6:07Speaker 3: exposed and ashamed. The people had fallen so deeply ent ichnology.
- 6:14Speaker 3: They were literally worshiping wood in stone, giving credit to
- 6:20Speaker 3: idols instead of the Creator. Yet when trouble comes suddenly
- 6:28Speaker 3: they cried out to God for help. Israel rejected God
- 6:34Speaker 3: during times of blessing and ran back to him during
- 6:39Speaker 3: times of crisis. Their relationship with God became conditional and superficial.
- 6:51Speaker 3: Now family, many people treat God like an emergency contact
- 6:57Speaker 3: instead of Lord. Some people ignore God when life feels good,
- 7:04Speaker 3: but suddenly pray when everything begins to fall apart. Now,
- 7:11Speaker 3: God desires relationship, not temporary desperation, and so Jeremiah exposes
- 7:21Speaker 3: the danger of living with divided loyalty. I mean, just
- 7:28Speaker 3: think about it yourself. How would you like it if
- 7:32Speaker 3: your spouse only talk to you when she was in
- 7:35Speaker 3: crisis or when she needed something, but then when everything
- 7:39Speaker 3: was good, you never heard from her. She would disappear.
- 7:45Speaker 3: And I gotta repent because my relationship with God so
- 7:50Speaker 3: many times became superficial and surfacy in times of crisis.
- 7:57Speaker 3: I cried out my word and I ran to him.
- 8:02Speaker 3: But I believe that this was God drawing me closer
- 8:06Speaker 3: to him so that I wouldn't stay in that stagnated place.
- 8:12Speaker 3: And I pray that none of you listening are in
- 8:14Speaker 3: that place. If you are, there's good news. God is
- 8:19Speaker 3: able to change and to help us, say man Verse
- 8:23Speaker 3: twenty eight twenty eight. But where are your guys that
- 8:28Speaker 3: you have made for yourselves. Let them arise that they
- 8:34Speaker 3: can save you in time of your trouble. For according
- 8:39Speaker 3: to the number of your cities are your gods? Oh Judah, wow? Now,
- 8:46Speaker 3: God basically tells him, if your idols are so powerful,
- 8:52Speaker 3: let them rescue you. Now, Judah had lifted their hearts
- 9:01Speaker 3: and their minds, and they fill the land with false gods.
- 9:08Speaker 3: Yet none of them could save, heal, restore, or even
- 9:12Speaker 3: protect them. Idols always fail because they have no life.
- 9:20Speaker 3: These things have no power. Anything placed above God eventually
- 9:28Speaker 3: disappoints people. Let me say that again. Anything placed above
- 9:35Speaker 3: God will eventually disappoint.
- 9:40Speaker 5: People.
- 9:43Speaker 3: That's why you see so many relationships crashing. Things that
- 9:47Speaker 3: people put their trust trust in. The rug is going
- 9:50Speaker 3: to be pulled from underneath them because we are to
- 9:56Speaker 3: be leaning and trusting in God and God alone. Amen.
- 10:00Speaker 3: Now here are some of the things that people put
- 10:05Speaker 3: above God. Modern idols may not look like statues that
- 10:11Speaker 3: they've carved with their hands, but people still worship things
- 10:17Speaker 3: like money, fame, relationships, success, social media, pleasure, even self image.
- 10:26Speaker 3: But when life collapse, those things cannot save not one soul.
- 10:34Speaker 3: Only Jesus can say. Amen, Jeremiah twenty nine and thirty,
- 10:44Speaker 3: why will you plead with me? You all have transgressed
- 10:53Speaker 3: against me, says the Lord in Vain. I have chasten
- 10:58Speaker 3: your children. They receive no correction. Your sword has devoured
- 11:07Speaker 3: your prophets like a destroying lion. Wow. Now let's break
- 11:15Speaker 3: this down. God who God reminds him that he repeatedly
- 11:24Speaker 3: corrected them that they refused to listen. The Bible says,
- 11:29Speaker 3: do not harden your heart the day that you hear
- 11:33Speaker 3: his voice, do not turn away your ear. Instead of repenting,
- 11:41Speaker 3: they resisted correction and even rejected the prophets God sent
- 11:46Speaker 3: to him. This is a sad place to be now.
- 11:53Speaker 3: One of the greatest signs of spiritual decline is when
- 11:56Speaker 3: people reject godly correct Let me say that again. One
- 12:03Speaker 3: of the signs of spiritual decline and degeneration is when
- 12:11Speaker 3: people reject spiritual correction, when people begin to If you
- 12:16Speaker 3: read the Book of Proverbs, the Book of Proverbs is
- 12:18Speaker 3: all over this. It says, don't even speak to a fool,
- 12:21Speaker 3: don't even try to correct a fool. If a person
- 12:24Speaker 3: does not receive correction, the Bible says, you are a fool,
- 12:30Speaker 3: You're foolish. The proverb says, a wise man loves instruction,
- 12:36Speaker 3: and when you rebuke him or correct him, he will
- 12:39Speaker 3: love you even the more. Amen. And that is a
- 12:45Speaker 3: huge part of the accountability partners like, we're opened up
- 12:49Speaker 3: to that, we're open to correction, to receiving to you know,
- 12:53Speaker 3: show me my blind spots, Amen, so that I can
- 12:57Speaker 3: get it right. It's a maintenance a safety buffer spiritually
- 13:04Speaker 3: for us to be able to do that, to fellowship
- 13:08Speaker 3: and to help each other on their journey.
- 13:11Speaker 5: Amen.
- 13:17Speaker 3: Now, correction from God is not rejection. God corrects the
- 13:22Speaker 3: people he loves. But pride makes people resist accountability. When
- 13:30Speaker 3: you say that again, pride will make a person resist accountability, conviction,
- 13:36Speaker 3: or even the truth, and not allow your pride to
- 13:40Speaker 3: deceive you. A hardened heart refuses instruction, even when destruction
- 13:49Speaker 3: is near, even when your life is falling apart. A
- 13:53Speaker 3: hardened heart will refuse correction and instruction, and that is
- 13:59Speaker 3: a sad state to be in. Amen, Verse thirty one.
- 14:05Speaker 3: Old generation, see the word of the Lord. Have I
- 14:10Speaker 3: been a wilderness to Israel or a land of darkness?
- 14:16Speaker 3: Why do my people say we are lords? We will
- 14:22Speaker 3: come no more to you?
- 14:26Speaker 5: Now?
- 14:26Speaker 3: God asked Israel, have I failed you? Have I abandoned you?
- 14:31Speaker 3: The answers, of course no. Yet the people declared independence
- 14:37Speaker 3: from God, and they chose rebellion. Man, that is sad'
- 14:45Speaker 3: that's heartbreaking. And we've all been there. I've been there
- 14:49Speaker 3: myself when I thought I knew better than God. Rebellion
- 14:56Speaker 3: often comes from forgetting God's faith. Sometimes people act like
- 15:03Speaker 3: God has done nothing for them while enjoying blessings he
- 15:09Speaker 3: provided all along. God has protected, God has fed us,
- 15:17Speaker 3: He has guided us and sustained Israel. Yet they still
- 15:24Speaker 3: walk away. Gratitude keeps the heart humble. Pride pushes people
- 15:32Speaker 3: away from God. Let me say that again. Gratitude keeps
- 15:37Speaker 3: the heart humble, but pride will always push people away
- 15:43Speaker 3: from all Mighty God Verse thirty two. Can a virgin
- 15:52Speaker 3: forget her ornaments or a bride her attire? Yet my
- 16:01Speaker 3: people have forgotten me days without number. Now God uses
- 16:08Speaker 3: the image of a bride forgetting her wedding garments. Right,
- 16:13Speaker 3: that is like unthinkable, something almost you can say that
- 16:18Speaker 3: it's impossible to imagine. Yet Israel for God God repeatedly.
- 16:26Speaker 3: How many women would you know, on their great day
- 16:29Speaker 3: of their wedding will go to the wedding and forget
- 16:32Speaker 3: about a wedding dress. A lot of women put a
- 16:35Speaker 3: lot of time, a lot of money, a lot of effort.
- 16:40Speaker 3: I can remember buying my wife's wedding dress and how
- 16:47Speaker 3: much she put into the design of it, how much
- 16:50Speaker 3: she put into because my wife is a very creative person,
- 16:55Speaker 3: and she even designed my suit. The monarch butterflies was
- 17:02Speaker 3: the theme of our wedding. And could you imagine a
- 17:07Speaker 3: bride forgetting like this part of it? And that's what
- 17:14Speaker 3: God is using as an illustration. You see, forgetting God
- 17:21Speaker 3: is not accidental neglect. It is the result of misplaced
- 17:28Speaker 3: priorities and spiritual drift. Let me say that again. Forgetting
- 17:35Speaker 3: God is not accidental neglect. Right. It's not like how
- 17:43Speaker 3: we forget our keys or we forget something. No, it's
- 17:48Speaker 3: a result of misplaced priorities when you put other things
- 17:54Speaker 3: ahead of God. And then what happens naturally after misplaced
- 18:00Speaker 3: priorities as we begin to drift spiritually, we will not
- 18:06Speaker 3: stay close to God if we do not make him
- 18:10Speaker 3: a priority. It's almost impossible. Right, It's almost like a
- 18:17Speaker 3: boat with an anchor. If you take the anchor up,
- 18:22Speaker 3: that boat is gonna naturally begin to drift around in
- 18:25Speaker 3: the water. Jesus is our anchor, belove it. We need
- 18:31Speaker 3: to make sure he is first. As a matter of fact,
- 18:35Speaker 3: I'll be transparent. I did not record a podcast yesterday.
- 18:43Speaker 3: I did a replay because I woke up late. I
- 18:47Speaker 3: woke up late and only had time either to record
- 18:50Speaker 3: the podcast or to pray, and I chose just to
- 18:53Speaker 3: spend time in prayer, time before God and it actually began.
- 18:58Speaker 3: It worked out. My day was a lot better now.
- 19:03Speaker 3: It wasn't always like this, Beloved. I don't want to
- 19:05Speaker 3: sound more spiritual than I am. I used to struggle
- 19:09Speaker 3: with that. I would used to run to the podcast. Well,
- 19:11Speaker 3: we need to get the podcast done and neglect my
- 19:16Speaker 3: priority of putting God first. This is a breakthrough for me.
- 19:20Speaker 3: This is a blessing for me to know. And I've decided, like,
- 19:24Speaker 3: you know what, if it comes down to it, podcast
- 19:27Speaker 3: or prayer, prayer is gonna win out every time, Amen,
- 19:32Speaker 3: because He has to be first. I do not want
- 19:36Speaker 3: to drift, and I don't want any of you to drift.
- 19:39Speaker 5: Amen.
- 19:40Speaker 3: If there's any priorities in your life that are taking
- 19:42Speaker 3: you away from God, just try it. Try just put
- 19:46Speaker 3: those things off, give them into the hands of God.
- 19:49Speaker 3: I mean, God is able to keep those things. God
- 19:53Speaker 3: is able to take care of that once we put
- 19:56Speaker 3: him first.
- 20:01Speaker 5: Amen, it looks like you lost another one now.
- 20:13Speaker 3: People naturally prioritize what they value the most. If prayer disappears,
- 20:22Speaker 3: if worship disappears, if the reading the word and studying
- 20:27Speaker 3: the Word begins, to disappear. Eventually intimacy with God fades,
- 20:32Speaker 3: you will no longer be intimate with God. You drift
- 20:36Speaker 3: towards whatever constantly has your attention. Now remember that you
- 20:48Speaker 3: drift towards whatever consistently has your attention. That's why I
- 20:59Speaker 3: tell my people meet me every day at eleven o'clock
- 21:05Speaker 3: Monday through Saturday here on the podcast, so that we
- 21:09Speaker 3: can keep our attention on God throughout the day. Amen, Hallelujah.
- 21:18Speaker 3: Thirty three and thirty four. Why do you beautify your
- 21:22Speaker 3: way to seek love? Therefore you have also taught the
- 21:30Speaker 3: wicked women your ways. Also on your skirts has found
- 21:39Speaker 3: the blood of the lives of the poor innocence. I
- 21:44Speaker 3: have not found it by secret search, but plainly on
- 21:51Speaker 3: all these things now, Israel became skilled at pursuing sinful
- 21:57Speaker 3: desires while ignoring j just and righteousness. God also confronts
- 22:06Speaker 3: the shedding of innocent blood and public corruption. Sin never
- 22:14Speaker 3: remains private forever. Eventually, corruption spreads into every part of society,
- 22:22Speaker 3: and that is scary. That sounds like the United States.
- 22:29Speaker 3: Whenever nation rejects God, moral confusion grows. People normalize evil, celebrate, compromise,
- 22:39Speaker 3: and try to silence the truth. You see that happening
- 22:44Speaker 3: in our country today. But God sees everything clearly. Nothing
- 22:50Speaker 3: is hidding from him. Right, darkness is like light to him.
- 22:56Speaker 3: We cannot hide from God thirty five and thirty seven.
- 23:01Speaker 3: Yet you say, because I am innocent, surely his anger
- 23:06Speaker 3: shall turn from me. Behold, I will plead my cause
- 23:12Speaker 3: against you, because you say I have not sinned. Why
- 23:18Speaker 3: do you God about so much to change your way?
- 23:25Speaker 3: Also you shall be ashamed of Egypt, as you were
- 23:31Speaker 3: ashamed of Assyria. Indeed, you will go forth from him
- 23:37Speaker 3: with your hand on your head, for the Lord has
- 23:41Speaker 3: rejected your trusted allies, and you will not prosper by
- 23:48Speaker 3: them in the name of Jesus.
- 23:51Speaker 5: Wow.
- 23:52Speaker 3: Okay, let's break this down. The people deny their guilt,
- 23:58Speaker 3: and they trusted political alliances instead of trusting God. But
- 24:03Speaker 3: every earthly source of society eventually failed them. All these
- 24:12Speaker 3: other countries failed Israel, and I mean those gods will
- 24:18Speaker 3: to show them right. Misplaced trust always leads to disappointment
- 24:25Speaker 3: when people depend on human strength instead of depending on God.
- 24:34Speaker 3: Many people today they will trust their finances, They'll try
- 24:39Speaker 3: to make the right connections. They appeal to different governments,
- 24:44Speaker 3: They think the government will help them. They try to
- 24:47Speaker 3: trust in their popularity or even their influence. And we
- 24:52Speaker 3: can even see that today how social media influencers are
- 24:58Speaker 3: losing money left and right and using their popularity. People
- 25:03Speaker 3: with millions of followers are not getting paid or they're
- 25:08Speaker 3: getting less money on social media because they put their
- 25:15Speaker 3: trust in the wrong thing. They fail to put their
- 25:21Speaker 3: trust in God. But human strength by hisself is very limited.
- 25:26Speaker 3: Only God remains faithful forever. Only God gave us the
- 25:32Speaker 3: promise that he will never leave us nor forsake us.
- 25:37Speaker 3: And Jeremiah reminds us that repentance begins when we stop
- 25:42Speaker 3: denying our condition and fully return to God. Let me
- 25:48Speaker 3: say that again. Repentance only begins when we stop denying
- 25:57Speaker 3: our sad condition and we return to God for help,
- 26:05Speaker 3: for his grace and for his mercy. Hey man, take
- 26:11Speaker 3: a quick break.

- 30:02Speaker 3: If nothing else today, we need to understand that God
- 30:06Speaker 3: is our number one priority. If we do not prioritize God,
- 30:11Speaker 3: then we will naturally drift away from our intimacy with them. Amen.
- 30:15Speaker 3: And we don't want to do that. We don't want
- 30:18Speaker 3: our relationship with God to become mature or a responsibility.
- 30:23Speaker 3: We want to delight and always stand in awe of God.

- 32:17Speaker 3: The Bible says that the foolish man hates correction, and

- 34:51Speaker 3: Moses came down from Mount Sinai and saw Israel worshiping
- 34:56Speaker 3: the Golden calf? What it happened? What did Moses do
- 35:02Speaker 3: when he came down from Mount Sinai and he saw
- 35:07Speaker 3: Israel worshiping the Golden calf. I'll give you a hint.
- 35:13Speaker 3: You got to read the story in Exodus chapter thirty two.
- 35:18Speaker 3: Exodus chapter thirty two. We also want to let you
- 35:28Speaker 3: know that His Hot Radio is a nonprofit organization. We
- 35:33Speaker 3: are five one seed three of public charity. We opened
- 35:37Speaker 3: up a Christian club in twenty twelve. We were able
- 35:42Speaker 3: to operate it for six and a half years, almost
- 35:45Speaker 3: seven years, faithfully ministring with shows, Christian hip hop concerts,
- 35:54Speaker 3: stage plays. A lot of what we did was free
- 35:58Speaker 3: to the public to evangelize, to reach a generation, and
- 36:03Speaker 3: we had to shut the doors in twenty eighteen. Or
- 36:07Speaker 3: we are looking to relaunch, or we open Club His
- 36:10Speaker 3: Hot part too. We believe our community means a spot
- 36:14Speaker 3: like this where we can hang out and get some
- 36:17Speaker 3: good fellowship, some good encouragement. So if you would like
- 36:23Speaker 3: to support, if you would like to be a part
- 36:28Speaker 3: of this, you can donate on our website, his Hot
- 36:35Speaker 3: nation dot com tax deductable by the way, or even

- 37:00Speaker 3: organization and reach out to us.
- 37:03Speaker 4: Do not hesitate, all right, belove it.
- 37:16Speaker 5: That is my time.
- 37:17Speaker 3: But I've got a few closing comments here and then
- 37:21Speaker 3: we're gonna pray out together. Hey man, I hope Jeremiah
- 37:26Speaker 3: is blessing you as much as it's blessing me. Amen,
- 37:32Speaker 3: making God the priority, I believe that is the word
- 37:36Speaker 3: for today. If you ain't getting nothing else out of that,
- 37:40Speaker 3: please make God your number one priority, because I know
- 37:43Speaker 3: I'm going to. I don't want to drift. Drifting is
- 37:48Speaker 3: probably the most dangerous thing drifting. It will probably be
- 37:52Speaker 3: the number one reason why people don't make it. Not
- 37:55Speaker 3: all out neglect or not all out rebellion, is just
- 38:01Speaker 3: drifting can cause us to go in that direction. Now,
- 38:11Speaker 3: Chapter two reveals the danger of spiritual drift as I
- 38:15Speaker 3: was saying right false worship and rejoicing and rebellion and
- 38:22Speaker 3: rejecting correction forgetting God and trusting in temporary things. But
- 38:33Speaker 3: even in judgment, God continues calling his people back to repentance.
- 38:39Speaker 3: Thank you Lord. No matter how far someone has wondered,
- 38:44Speaker 3: God still offers mercy to those willing to turn back
- 38:50Speaker 3: to Him. And I want to share a little testimony
- 38:55Speaker 3: before we close out. Yesterday I was able to manage
- 39:00Speaker 3: to take coworker. We had a conversation about God, and
- 39:08Speaker 3: I just asked him plainly, I'm like, you went before
- 39:12Speaker 3: God today? Do you believe you would enter the kingdom?
- 39:15Speaker 3: Do you think you're ready? Your life is ready? Do
- 39:17Speaker 3: you think you are right with God? Because he grew
- 39:21Speaker 3: up in church, but he hasn't went in years as
- 39:25Speaker 3: an adult, so he knows the word, he understands the word.
- 39:31Speaker 3: And he said no, he thinks he wouldn't be ready.
- 39:34Speaker 3: And I'm like, does that not concern you? We could
- 39:38Speaker 3: go home on our way home today and get hit
- 39:41Speaker 3: by a bus and enter into eternity and lose all
- 39:45Speaker 3: of our opportunities to have a relationship with him, And
- 39:52Speaker 3: he said yes, and so I had the opportunity to
- 39:57Speaker 3: pray with him and to bring him back to rededicate
- 40:03Speaker 3: his life to the Lord. Amen, allelujah. So if that's you,
- 40:09Speaker 3: if you need to rededicate, we cannot play games with this. Amen.
- 40:16Speaker 3: Let us not play games with this.
- 40:21Speaker 5: So that's you.
- 40:22Speaker 3: Let us pray, Heavenly Father to give us for every
- 40:27Speaker 3: idol we have placed before you.
- 40:31Speaker 5: Help us not to.
- 40:32Speaker 3: Seek you only any emergencies, but to walk faithfully with
- 40:36Speaker 3: you daily. Lord, Well got to remove pride and rebellion
- 40:41Speaker 3: and spiritual blindness from our heart's. Lord, cleanse our hearts
- 40:47Speaker 3: with the blood of Jesus, teach us to trust you
- 40:52Speaker 3: above everything else. Restore our passion, our prayer, our worship,
- 40:59Speaker 3: our holiness in truth. Well, he ask you this, Lord
- 41:06Speaker 3: in Jesus' mighty name. Aymn. Remember it's not about us,
- 41:15Speaker 3: It's all about the Christ in its God.
- 41:17Speaker 5: Bless y'all.
