  Speaker 2: Sener our mean we ask go God, oh Lord, that
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: souls will be touched though God on this platform in
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: Jesus' name. Man. All right, all right, as I said earlier,
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: we are going to be closing out the book, not
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: the book, but the chapter, chapter sixteen of the Book
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: of Acts. Right, So we're gonna walk through the scripture
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: verse by verse so that we can grow spiritually and
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: grow with maturity. Right, grow in our maturity, should I
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: say so? Chapter sixteen, We're gonna pick it up in
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: verse thirty five, in verse forty, and we're gonna look
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: at a powerful moment right here. This is a very
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: powerful moment where Paul in Silas they were beaten and
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: they were thrown in prison. And we went into depth
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: onto that in the last episode where they were beaten
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: and thrown into stocks, and I mean, it was bad.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: Right now, what's gonna happen next is gonna teach us
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: about justice, integrity, and the way God will defend his people.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: So we're gonna pick it up in verse thirty five.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: It says when it was day, the magistrates sent the
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: officers saying, let those men go. Now, if you knew
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: what was going on. On the last episode, we saw
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: that Paul and Silas we're thrown into the inner prison,
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: put in stocks. It was dark, it was nasty, and
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: they began to sing and praise the Lord. And if
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: earthquake happened, and all the bands were loose, and then
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: the jailer was going to kill himself, but Paul, instead
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: of escaping, stayed behind, stopped him from harming himself. And
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: that man in this whole household got saved. Amen. So
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: that's powerful. Now this jailer is converted, he's a believer now,
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: and now it's day. So the magistrates likely realized that
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: they made a mistake here. This was legally corrupted. In
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: the ancient world. This was an illegal move because they
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: punished them without a trial. As we read in the chapter,
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: it was just straight punishment. These men lied. These men
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: manipulated the situation. How many of us have encountered people
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: like this who will lie and manipulate a situation or
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: circumstance to make us look bad or to throw dirt
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: on our name. Or try to smear us, and because
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: of that it caused the authorities to get in trouble.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: Look at how God works. Now, under Roman law, this
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: was illegal if the accused were Roman citizens. And that's
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: the whole point here. They were beating without a without
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: a trial. Now, God did not spare Paul in silence
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: from the beating or going through the situation. God allowed
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: them to go through that. But we can see right
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: here that God is getting ready to expose injustice. Sometimes
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: God allows us to go through suffering because he plans
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: to reveal truth publicly. Later he plans to expose a
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: corrupted system. Now verse thirty six. So the keeper of
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: the prison reported these words to Paul, saying, the magistrates
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: have sent to let you go. Now, therefore depart and
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: go in peace. Now the jailer here was probably relieved.
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: He was probably happy in his heart. Remember that this
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: man was touched by the Gospel. He saw the earthquake,
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: he experienced it. He saw that they could have left,
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: He saw how Paul was compassionate towards him. When he
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: was about to end his own life, Paul stopped him.
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: And so he was probably happy to relieve Paul, to
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: release Paul and return the favor at this point, but
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: Paul doesn't leave. Paul has something else in mind right now.
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: It feels me if possibly you you just got beat down,
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: you got being down really bad and thrown into stocks
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: and all this stuff, I probably would have been like, yeah,
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: I'm out, Like uh uh I don't even you ain't
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: gotta tell me twice, you know what I'm saying. But
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: Paul has something else in mind, because if he would
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: have walked away quietly like they wanted him to, he
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: would have allowed the injustice to happen. He would have
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: allowed injustice to continue in this system. Now this shows
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: Paul's leadership. This is a leadership moment right here. Paul
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: is about to teach this city a lesson. Now check
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: this out verse thirty seven. If Paul said to them,
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: they have beaten us openly, uncondemned the Romans, and have
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: thrown us into prison, and now do they put us
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: out secretly? No, indeed, let them come themselves and get
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: us out. Now, Paul was not seeking revenge at this moment,
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: if you really think about it, Paul was protecting the
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: future of the church in Philippi. Now what do I
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: mean by that if they would have left quietly, the
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: authorities could come back later and accuse them as criminals.
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: They still had the power to control the narrative. They
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: could have said anything. They could have said that, oh,
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: we assassinated them. That gave them a lot of wiggle
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: room to input what they wanted there. But by forcing
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: them publicly to apologize, Paul protected the reputation of the believers,
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: and Paul protected the church in that area. Now wanted
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: to check out a couple of things here. Christians are
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: not called just to be dormants, were not called, but
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: we are called to be righteous witnesses. Now, Paul here
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: is demanding public accountability. They need to be held accountable
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: for their actions. They just punished Roman citizens without a trial,
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: and this could backfire on the authorities. They could have
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: been put to death, or they could have been demoted
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: from their positions. This was a serious illegal error on
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: their part. And sometimes righteousness requires us to be courageous. Right,
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: this was a bold step for the apostle. Now verse
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: thirty eight. And the officers told these words to the magistrates,
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: and they were afraid when they heard that they were Romans. Wow,
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: Roman law protects Roman citizens They did not play. They
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: were serious when it came to protecting Roman citizens. If
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: you were Roman, you were protected. Now remember Rome was
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: the world empire in the ancient world. A man, that
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: would be great if your United States would protect their
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: citizens like this today. Man, But I'm gonna keep moving
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: on that note. Now, if the magistrates pummit, if they
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: punish a rooman citizen without trial, they could get in
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: serious trouble. Now, look at how they flip the script
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: right here, right, there's a power shift in the story. Now,
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: yesterday Paul was beat down Paul in Silas. Today they
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: are afraid of him. They beat them the other day.
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: But today here's fear in the heart of the magistrates. Right.
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: This shows something important. God can change the atmosphere over night.
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: Whatever situation or circumstances you may be in, or you
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: may have been dealing with, it could change instantly. And
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: I can speak personally, there's something that I've dealt with
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: for almost twenty years that just shifted and changed overnight.
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: And I am thanking God for this. Amen. Some people
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: persecute you today may be the ones apologizing to you tomorrow.
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: And man, God can do it. Verse thirty nine. Then
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: they came and pleaded with them and brought them out
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: and asked them to depart from the city. There's the shift.
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: You got to notice this right now, the magistrates who
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: have them beaten now now personally escorting them out is
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: there now they are their personal escorts. The authorities were
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: trying to avoid further trouble by doing this. They didn't
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: want that smoke. They didn't want this to come back.
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: They didn't want them to snitch on them, right, So
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: they came out and they complied to Paul's demand. Paul
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: was calling the shots at this point, but Paul also
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: stayed humble. He didn't demand compensation from the magistrates, and
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: he did not stir up a riot at this point,
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: or he possibly could have. He simply ensures that truth
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: is acknowledged publicly. Now. This is spiritual maturity, and this
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: shows that we can demand justice without bitterness in our hearts, beloved, amen,
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: and we can reveal truth without a heart of revenge.
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: Hey man, how many of us would have when it revenge,
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: you know, wanted our pound of flesh, especially after a
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: beat down like that. Look, belove it, I've been beat
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: I know how that feels. My mom used to tear
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: me to know in when I was younger, I know
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: what punishment and torment feels like, and especially when you
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: can do nothing about it but take it. But Paul
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: had none of this in his heart. Amen, that is awesome.
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: It's forty. So they went out of the prison and
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: entered the house of Lydia. As you can remember, this
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: was the first convert in Europe. She started a church
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: in her house. This was how the Church of Philippi
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: got started. You never know what hospitality may start. You
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: never know what a home Bible study may do. You
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: never know when inviting a preacher or a teacher or
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: someone to your house to start a home work. You
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: never know what that might do, or what opportunities we
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: may have missed when we did not follow the open
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: doors that God has given us. A man, and when
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: they had seen the brethren, they encouraged them and departed.
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: Now I think this is great. They got be down,
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: they got thrown in prison, but their hearts were to
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: encourage others. How many man, this is amazing. How many
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: we give a huge shout out to the men of God,
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: the men, this is what it looks like when God
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: works in our hearts. And in our characters. How many
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: of us would be thinking about encouraging somebody else, somebody
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: in the church, the brother How many of us would
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: be concerned about the brothers in the church. A lot
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: of us go through stuff and we withdraw, we isolate,
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: and we're concerned about self. We become very self centered
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: and self focused, almost like the victim mentality, and we
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: get offended. If nobody reaches out and encourages us. We'd
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: be like, how come no they called me? Or how
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: come nobody checked on me? Or how come pastor didn't
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: come and visit me? Or you know, there's been people
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: who left church because of that. And here we see
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: Paul in silence, just go through a huge trial and
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: they come out encouraging others, strengthening others before they even
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: leave or depart. That is a heart of a true
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: spiritual leader. Paul's concerned was strengthening the church, strengthening the believers.
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: This is the mindset that we should all pursue. Amen,
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: I mean, this is beautiful, this is amazing. Let that
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: sink into your spirit. Let that sink into your mind
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: and to your heart. The next time you go through
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: a trial, try to encourage and strengthen somebody else that'll
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: take your mind off of what you're going through right away.
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: All right, John, let's take a quick break. We'll be
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: right back.
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: You are listening to the light of Las Vegas. This
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: is the Hiss Hop radio show.
• 22:41
  Speaker 4: Yeah yeah, Yo, top of the morning. I give the
• 22:52
  Speaker 4: Lord praise I He's the reason for my creativity.
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: You saw grace.
• 22:55
  Speaker 4: The more faith fears in my life, the more walks
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: straight to difficulties, because with me yet at sold waste.
• 23:02
  Speaker 4: I'll take a deep breath of hell. Life is sweet,
• 23:04
  Speaker 4: blessed when you around up power, for I know I
• 23:06
  Speaker 4: can't defeat death because you did and not trust that
• 23:09
  Speaker 4: you are learned to speak less. I pray about it,
• 23:11
  Speaker 4: hit the microphone and just release stress. So when I'm
• 23:14
  Speaker 4: in the booth, the Holy Spirit spelling truth on instrumentals,
• 23:17
  Speaker 4: elevating daily till I I thought myself now stand on
• 23:21
  Speaker 4: top of the mountain. Ain't yelling victory because Jesus paid
• 23:24
  Speaker 4: the price. He's my accounting twenty six hears a great
• 23:26
  Speaker 4: home again. I'm still counting. It's a lot of ups
• 23:29
  Speaker 4: and downs, like with the wills, bouncing past the gospel
• 23:32
  Speaker 4: to the thirsty you get it we little fountains, the
• 23:34

• 23:42
  Speaker 4: spit a verse and whether aware religious folks get.
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: Evil, they can get you hurt.
• 23:46
  Speaker 4: Just know that that ain't Jesus. If you see corruption
• 23:49
  Speaker 4: in the church words words, let's snap out of it.
• 23:52
  Speaker 4: Life gave me lemons out to squeeze the rap out
• 23:55
  Speaker 4: of it. These cats follow what's been the truth. They
• 23:57
  Speaker 4: can't proudly slip because they ain't talk about nothing well.
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: The raps counterfeit.
• 24:02
  Speaker 4: I shot frid rites and chicken.
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: Listen.
• 24:04
  Speaker 4: My advice is only take advice from the Lord because
• 24:06
  Speaker 4: he gonna shine light.
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: On dark situations.
• 24:08
  Speaker 4: I've seen it half been to my light and now
• 24:10
  Speaker 4: I'm chilling running through the city. You're on the line, bright,
• 24:13
  Speaker 4: go real, shining in alignment with my soul. Find it
• 24:16
  Speaker 4: hard to listen to these rappers nowadays, they all blinded
• 24:19

• 29:46
  Speaker 2: All right, get your fingers ready, head on over to
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: the live chat. Let's see who's gonna be today's trivia champ. Yesterday,
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: like I said, it was missus hiss Hot who walked
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: away with it. He's gonna walk away with it today.
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: You can also find these questions in the live chat
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: if you want to get a little bit of a
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: head start. But you got to answer the question first
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: to claim the title. So the question is which apostle
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: also used his Roman citizenship to avoid being illegally punished
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: later in the Book of Acts. I'm gonna ask that again.
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: Which apostle was it who used his Roman citizenship to
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: avoid physical punishment later on in the Book of Acts.
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: Here this chapter you see that they were punished. Then
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: later it was brought out that they were Roman citizens.
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: So this apostle learned from that experience. He brought it
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: out first like, look, I'm a Roman citizen. You're not
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: about to beat me down. Now, let us know who
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: it was, and actually let us know what chapter it
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: was in a Book of Acts when this situation happened.
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: That's your bonus question the apostle in the chapter I'm
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: gonna give a huge community shout out His Hop Nation.
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: We have been working on the mirror. We've been working
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: with Valley High School high school students. God is been
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: establishing us there. It has been a huge, huge blessing.
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: They're giving us a date where they're gonna do the reveal,
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: so we are excited about that. To pray for us,
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: pray that God is a huge impact, and pray that
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: God allows us to reach the people that He wants
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: us to reach over there at Valley High School. A man. Also,
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: we got a couple events coming up at the Juvenile
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: Detention Center. Do you want to know more about our
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: activities and what we got going, check out our website,
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: visit us at his Hot Nation dot com. Last, but
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: not least, we want to let you know that his
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: Hot Nation is a nonprofit organization. We are a five
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: oh one CED three, a public charity. We started as
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: a Christian hip hop club back in twenty twelve. We'll
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: actually go further back than that. I started as a
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: Christian hip hop artist. I was in multiple rap groups
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: throughout the years, and so we started His Hot Nation.
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: I met my brother's own three at the Las Vegas
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: Rescue Mission. That's a whole other testimony there. It was
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: very talented in the place, and so we brought him
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: on to the ministry. He was a first artist. We
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: had a couple of artists who joined later, and we
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: had a drama team. We had a whole team of people.
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: We used to go around and minister. We ministered at
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: Basic High School and things like that over the years,
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: and so we went to the Salvation Army, we did
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: concerts stuff like that throughout our community and minister the word.
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: And so now here we are years later. It's been
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: about ten years, right, twenty twelve something like that. The
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: club was open for about seven six and a half years.
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: We close it in twenty eighteen. So we're looking to
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: get financial support or donations. If you want to donate
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: a building, a vehicle, or your time and talents. If
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: you know how to write for grants, if you know
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: how to get donations and sponsorships. We need your services
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: over here because we truly believe that our community needs
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: this type of establisher. Amen, help us further the Kingdom.
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: Every donation is a tax right off, and you will
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: be rich towards the Kingdom of God. This world is
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: passing away. You can't take nothing with us. Only thing
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: we can take is so we stored up in heaven.
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: So we ask it you will prayerfully consider supporting us
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: on a monthly basis. Lord William Man, all right, here
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: are my clothes thoughts. My time is up here in
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: today's podcast, I want to just thank everyone for showing
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: up to the life chat. They're encouraging and man, it's
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: they tuned because missus kiss Hopit is planning to do
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: another takeover, so that's going to be interesting. But as
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: we close out today with some closing thoughts, paul Is
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: Silas were beaten in prison and they were humiliated, but
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: God flipped the situation completely. The same leaders who punished
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: them had to publicly acknowledge their innocence. So here is
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: today's lesson. God may allow suffering, but he is still
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: the ultimate defender of his people. Amen. Let that bless
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: your heart. The grandma that his Hot radio app check
