1:52
Speaker 2: We want to welcome you to the his Hop family.
1:55
Speaker 2: In this group, we hold each other accountable. We believe
1:58
Speaker 2: that the narrow path is difficult, and the Bible said
2:03
Speaker 2: there's a few that will find it, and that is
2:05
Speaker 2: the path to life. It's more specifically eternal life. These
2:10
Speaker 2: are the words of Jesus himself, and so we want
2:14
Speaker 2: to encourage each other to stay on that narrow path. Right.
2:17
Speaker 2: We want to encourage each other to honor God and
2:21
Speaker 2: to live a life of obedience. And so sometimes we
2:25
Speaker 2: get crazy thoughts in our hearts. It's good to be
2:28
Speaker 2: able to have someone to correct us, right, someone to
2:32
Speaker 2: bring us before the word of God and says, you
2:35
Speaker 2: know what, you need to renew your mind. Not somebody
2:38
Speaker 2: that's going to judge us or condemn us, but someone
2:40
Speaker 2: who's gonna lovingly keep us on the path. Amen. So
2:45
Speaker 2: that's what we do, and that's who we are here
2:48
Speaker 2: on the his Hop Radio podcast, and when you download
2:52
Speaker 2: the app, that's what you get. We want to help
2:55
Speaker 2: you spiritually. We want to help you grow in your
2:58
Speaker 2: walk with God, and the only way we can do
3:00
Speaker 2: that is through the words. So today we're gonna be
3:04
Speaker 2: in chapter eleven, starting in verse eleven, and I'm coming
3:08
Speaker 2: at you from the new King James, so you can
3:13
Speaker 2: get your bibles, you know, pass the highlighters and follow along.
3:17
Speaker 2: Now let's pray, I mean, Father, we thank you, Father God,
3:21
Speaker 2: for another great opportunity, Father God, to get closer to
3:26
Speaker 2: you and to know you, Oh God. And no matter
3:29
Speaker 2: the fire that we're going through right now, help us,
3:31
Speaker 2: O Lord, to lean on you, Oh God. We need
3:34
Speaker 2: you for our strength. God, we need you for courage,
3:36
Speaker 2: Oh God. Let us not, Oh God, Oh Lord, grow
3:40
Speaker 2: weak in our faith, Oh God, But let us, Father God,
3:42
Speaker 2: continue Lord, to be more than conquerors through Christ who
3:46
Speaker 2: strengthens us. So God, we thank you. We ask for
3:49
Speaker 2: your blessing in Jesus' name. Amen. All right, Well, and Jeremiah,
3:58
Speaker 2: this is you know. Jeremiah's considered the weeping prophet because
4:04
Speaker 2: he did not have one convert. His ministry was to
4:07
Speaker 2: warn the nation of Judah. And Judah was considered to
4:13
Speaker 2: be a treacherous sister because Judah sat and watched in
4:18
Speaker 2: the Northern Kingdom, the Israelite kingdom, because they were divided
4:23
Speaker 2: into So you had Israel, then you had Judah. So
4:27
Speaker 2: they saw Judah get destroyed because of their rebellion, their idolatry,
4:33
Speaker 2: and them turning their backs on the Lord. And they
4:37
Speaker 2: follow and do the same thing. Now, they had more
4:40
Speaker 2: of a righteous appearance because they were more religious, but
4:45
Speaker 2: they did not have a transformed heart. And so we're
4:49
Speaker 2: gonna see Guy's attitude and how God deals with that,
4:53
Speaker 2: how he dealt with them. We need to learn so
4:56
Speaker 2: that we don't repeat these mistakes, ay Man, So let's
4:59
Speaker 2: pick up in verse eleven. Therefore, thus says the Lord, behold,
5:06
Speaker 2: I will surely bring calamity on them, which they shall
5:12
Speaker 2: not be able to escape. Now that is a frightening
5:19
Speaker 2: thing when you're in a situation and you see no
5:24
Speaker 2: way out. I know me, when I see a situation
5:29
Speaker 2: coming up, the first thing I do is try to
5:31
Speaker 2: find a solution, trying to find a way to maneuver
5:36
Speaker 2: out of it, trying to find a way to avoid it.
5:40
Speaker 2: When the Bible says that a wise person will foresee
5:43
Speaker 2: evil and avoid it, and a foolish will walk right
5:46
Speaker 2: into it. Right, but there is no remedy for this,
5:50
Speaker 2: because they have gone so far and their idolatry against God,
5:56
Speaker 2: they were not going to escape this judgment, and it says,
6:01
Speaker 2: and though they cry out to me, I will not
6:04
Speaker 2: listen to them. Now that is even worse. Now, if
6:08
Speaker 2: you read the Book of Judges, you will see a
6:11
Speaker 2: pattern there. You will see that the nation of Israel
6:14
Speaker 2: will turn away from God. God would punish them, They
6:17
Speaker 2: would be judged and conquered by other nations. And then
6:21
Speaker 2: they cry out to God and God would rescue them.
6:25
Speaker 2: It was a pattern over and over again. But this
6:29
Speaker 2: time there is no rescue. And all I can do
6:32
Speaker 2: is think of the people who are in hell right now,
6:37
Speaker 2: the people who went to hell because of unforgiveness, whatever
6:41
Speaker 2: it may be, being unloving, and they're crying out. They
6:47
Speaker 2: want to be forgiven. They want forgiveness, they want another chance.
6:51
Speaker 2: They're crying out to God as we speak, and God
6:55
Speaker 2: will never answer their cry because it's too late. Now
7:01
Speaker 2: is the time to hear God's voice, to hear his
7:05
Speaker 2: warnings and to change our lives. We don't want to
7:08
Speaker 2: find ourselves in a place crying out to God and
7:12
Speaker 2: God will not listen. People don't understand this side about God.
7:17
Speaker 2: They don't understand. They think that God is obligated or
7:21
Speaker 2: owes them something. No, you can get to a point
7:24
Speaker 2: where even when you pray and cry out, he will
7:28
Speaker 2: not even listen to your cry. If we go so
7:33
Speaker 2: far as to ignore his warnings Amen, verse twelve. Then
7:39
Speaker 2: the cities of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem will
7:43
Speaker 2: go and cry out to gods to whom they offer incense.
7:48
Speaker 2: Now here's the thing right here, Now we know that
7:51
Speaker 2: God is a jealous god. He is a husband. Right,
7:55
Speaker 2: this is a marriage. Now I believe in and pray
8:00
Speaker 2: and get your own revelation on this. I believe that
8:03
Speaker 2: He refused to hear their cry because he knew that
8:07
Speaker 2: they were unfaithful. Like, oh, they're going to cry in
8:10
Speaker 2: any guy to get them out of this situation. They're
8:13
Speaker 2: gonna They're not crying to me because they know I
8:15
Speaker 2: have the answer. You know. He looks at them as prostitutes,
8:19
Speaker 2: right like you are crying anybody to try to help you,
8:22
Speaker 2: and He's like, go to these other guys and offer
8:25
Speaker 2: your incense. But here's the thing, it says, but they
8:29
Speaker 2: will not save them at all in the time of
8:33
Speaker 2: their trouble. Now, who do you want to serve? Do
8:37
Speaker 2: you want to serve the God that can save you
8:39
Speaker 2: in your time of trouble, or do you want to
8:42
Speaker 2: serve a guy who is not able and capable of
8:45
Speaker 2: saving you even if they wanted to. Right, And that
8:50
Speaker 2: is the enemy. A lot of people are serving Satan,
8:53
Speaker 2: but they just don't realize that they will be deceived.
8:57
Speaker 2: He will not help them. He doesn't want to help them.
9:00
Speaker 2: One But even if you wanted to, if it's against
9:03
Speaker 2: God's will, he is rendered useless. Thirteen. For according to
9:10
Speaker 2: the numbers of their cities were your gods, oh Judah.
9:16
Speaker 2: And according to the number of the streets of Jerusalem,
9:21
Speaker 2: you have sent up altars. Excuse him, you have set
9:25
Speaker 2: up altars to that shameful thing, alters to burn incense
9:33
Speaker 2: to ball. So what God is saying is that this
9:37
Speaker 2: city was overtaken by idolatry. This city was overtaken by
9:43
Speaker 2: baal worship, and that was a vile thing. If you
9:45
Speaker 2: do a study on bio worship, that is one of
9:48
Speaker 2: the gods that our God Jehovah has been battling in
9:54
Speaker 2: ancient Judah for years. Verse fourteen. So do not pray
10:00
Speaker 2: for the people. Do not pray for this people or
10:04
Speaker 2: lift up a cry or prayer for them, for I
10:08
Speaker 2: will not hear them in the time that they cry
10:13
Speaker 2: out to me because of their trouble. Now, this is
10:18
Speaker 2: also a scary part, a scary sight of God. You
10:23
Speaker 2: don't want to be in a place where God tells
10:26
Speaker 2: his servants and his people to stop praying for you. You
10:31
Speaker 2: don't want to get to that place. Amen. Now I
10:35
Speaker 2: heard his story from my pastor, Pastor Paul Kelker a
10:39
Speaker 2: fresh wind. He said that he had an uncle that
10:42
Speaker 2: was a godly man, highly anointed, and he had a church,
10:48
Speaker 2: and a man came to church and went to the
10:52
Speaker 2: altar for prayer and then his uncle said, you know what,
10:57
Speaker 2: I cannot pray for you. The Lord says not to pray.
11:00
Speaker 2: And this man walked away devastated. Like that would that
11:07
Speaker 2: would shake me to the core if I went for
11:11
Speaker 2: prayer and the Lord says, no, do not pray for
11:14
Speaker 2: that person. We don't know what happened. We don't know
11:17
Speaker 2: what lines he crossed, but we see it here in scripture.
11:21
Speaker 2: We read it right. I believe scripture for face value.
11:25
Speaker 2: He tells the prophet Jeremiah not to pray for the people. Man.
11:32
Speaker 2: It's like praying for them would be disobedience because they
11:36
Speaker 2: deserve their judgment. They're gonna get it like the Lord
11:39
Speaker 2: is serving up wrath, and they're gonna eat it to
11:42
Speaker 2: the full. Verse thirteen, What has my beloved to do
11:49
Speaker 2: in my house? Having done luded deeds with many? And
11:55
Speaker 2: the Holy flesh has passed for them? So what does
11:58
Speaker 2: that mean? Holy flesh has passed from them? Right? Their purity,
12:02
Speaker 2: their holiness, their connection and presence of God. When God's
12:07
Speaker 2: presence dwells in you, it's a preservative, you know what
12:11
Speaker 2: I mean. God just refreshes us when when you do evil,
12:19
Speaker 2: then you rejoice. The Lord called your name green olive tree,
12:26
Speaker 2: lovely and of good fruit. With the noise of great
12:31
Speaker 2: turmoilt turmoil. He has kindled fire on it, and its
12:38
Speaker 2: branches are broken. Now, what this is saying right here
12:43
Speaker 2: is they had a beautiful covenant relationship with God. God
12:49
Speaker 2: called them a green olive tree, right, and what happened
12:56
Speaker 2: was their deeds were evil. You see, God doesn't really
13:01
Speaker 2: care about your religious activity. You can go to church,
13:06
Speaker 2: you can go through all the motions He wants a
13:09
Speaker 2: surrendered in a converted heart. If you go to church
13:13
Speaker 2: and you're still your deeds are still evil. We need
13:18
Speaker 2: to examine our lifestyle, What do you do? Where do
13:23
Speaker 2: you a hand? Where does your hands go? As what
13:26
Speaker 2: I'm trying to say, what are you reaching out for
13:30
Speaker 2: on a consistent basis? Is it that beer in a refrigerator?
13:35
Speaker 2: Is it that cigarette? Is it that weed that you're
13:38
Speaker 2: holding your hands? Or are you holding the Word of God?
13:41
Speaker 2: Are you holding a child or your wife and children?
13:45
Speaker 2: Are you embracing families and loved ones? Are you embracing
13:49
Speaker 2: the homeless in the streets? Are you using your hands?
13:53
Speaker 2: Is your lifestyle honoring and blessing God? Where do your
13:58
Speaker 2: feet go? Right? We got to break it down simple
14:02
Speaker 2: like this, like God is looking at your deeds, your lifestyle,
14:07
Speaker 2: not just your religious activity. Verse seventeen. For the Lord
14:15
Speaker 2: of Hosts who planted you has pronounced doom against you
14:21
Speaker 2: for the evil of the House of Israel and the
14:24
Speaker 2: House of Judah, which they have done against you themselves
14:31
Speaker 2: to provoke me. Oh, excuse me, Let me read that again.
14:36
Speaker 2: For the Lord of Hosts who planted you has pronounced
14:41
Speaker 2: doom against you. Now that's scary. We don't want the
14:48
Speaker 2: Lord to pronounce doom on anything, right, especially on our nation.
14:53
Speaker 2: We need to consistently pray for the United States. A
14:58
Speaker 2: lot of people don't get this of God because a
15:01
Speaker 2: lot of people don't study their word, and this word
15:04
Speaker 2: is not being taught in churches the way it should be.
15:08
Speaker 2: A man, Now, the Lord has pronounced doom against you
15:12
Speaker 2: for the evil of the House of Israel. That's the
15:16
Speaker 2: reason that evil. Right, God cannot allow evil to go on.
15:21
Speaker 2: Evil has an expiration there now the house of Judah.
15:27
Speaker 2: Now he puts both together, Israel and Judah, the Northern
15:32
Speaker 2: Kingdom and the Southern Kingdom. Israel was judged first Judas
15:36
Speaker 2: should learn, but Judah repeated the mistakes of Israel. And
15:42
Speaker 2: now Judah is being judged, which they have done against
15:46
Speaker 2: themselves to provoke me to anger and offering incense to bow.
15:55
Speaker 2: Now note that they did this against themselves. When you
16:00
Speaker 2: against God, you are actually harming your own self. It'll
16:05
Speaker 2: be to your hurt ultimately. Now it breaks God's heart
16:09
Speaker 2: because he doesn't want to judge us, because he wants
16:13
Speaker 2: us to We are created in his image. We are
16:16
Speaker 2: literally his children in his image, but we have been lost,
16:23
Speaker 2: and so he's trying to bring us back into the family.
16:26
Speaker 2: It breaks his heart to have to judge us. But
16:30
Speaker 2: ultimately sin will betray you, and sin will ultimately hurt
16:39
Speaker 2: you if we are consistently going in that path verse eighteen. Now,
16:47
Speaker 2: the Lord gave me knowledge of it, that this is
16:52
Speaker 2: Jeremiah speaking, and I knew it for you showed me
16:59
Speaker 2: their doom. Now, it's amazing when God gives us revelation.
17:04
Speaker 2: God will allow us to know when there's danger ahead.
17:07
Speaker 2: God will allow us to see and understand what people
17:10
Speaker 2: are applotting against us, and God will help us to
17:14
Speaker 2: avoid these traps. Right in verse nineteen. But I was
17:21
Speaker 2: like a docile lamb brought to the slaughter, and I
17:26
Speaker 2: did not know that they had the viy schemes against me. Now,
17:34
Speaker 2: how many of us have been in this position? I
17:37
Speaker 2: have been in this position more than I care to be.
17:41
Speaker 2: When you go and you minister, you answer the call
17:44
Speaker 2: of God, and you're out there ministering for the Lord,
17:49
Speaker 2: doing what the Lord has told you to do. But
17:51
Speaker 2: then other people get upset, they begin to hate on you,
17:55
Speaker 2: and they're plotting against you, and you're like a docile lamb, right,
17:58
Speaker 2: like you didn't know. I'm just trying to love people
18:01
Speaker 2: and love on you and do God's will. And I
18:06
Speaker 2: went through this even with opening a Christian club in
18:10
Speaker 2: Las Vegas, club his hop and I'm thinking people are
18:14
Speaker 2: loving the Lord. You know, I'm wide open, not knowing
18:18
Speaker 2: that I allow snakes in the camp, right not everyone
18:22
Speaker 2: who say that they're for you are truly for you.
18:26
Speaker 2: And so Jeremiah is trying to save their lives and
18:30
Speaker 2: save them from judgment. And he's like, they're plotting against me.
18:36
Speaker 2: And right here it says saying, let us destroy the
18:41
Speaker 2: tree with its fruit, and let us cut him off
18:47
Speaker 2: from the land of the living, that his name may
18:51
Speaker 2: be remembered no more. So. There was a plot against
18:56
Speaker 2: the life of Jeremiah. If you study the Old Testament prophets,
19:00
Speaker 2: a lot of them went through a lot to serve
19:04
Speaker 2: the Lord, to be faithful to the message that God
19:08
Speaker 2: has given them, to try to rescue and reach people.
19:13
Speaker 2: And they were thrown in jail. I believe they through Jeremiah.
19:18
Speaker 2: In jail, there was a prophet that they cut them
19:21
Speaker 2: in half. I believe it was Isaiah. It tells us
19:27
Speaker 2: in I think it's Hebrews chapter eleven, the Hall of Faith.
19:32
Speaker 2: How some were rescued, but some died for their faith
19:38
Speaker 2: and beloved. I believe that even today We're coming up
19:42
Speaker 2: on a period of time where persecution against believers is
19:47
Speaker 2: going to arise. It's going to be an all time high.
19:51
Speaker 2: It's going to be horrible. If you look at the
19:55
Speaker 2: Muslim movement in our country or seeing more and more
20:01
Speaker 2: Muslims becoming mayors of cities right here in the United
20:07
Speaker 2: States of America. They're trying to invoke Sharia law, and
20:12
Speaker 2: they're gonna make it against the law to have a Bible.
20:15
Speaker 2: They're gonna make it against the law to have faith
20:17
Speaker 2: in Jesus, to preach the word of the Lord. Like
20:21
Speaker 2: persecution is coming for the saints, And how many are
20:24
Speaker 2: gonna fall away? How many out there are not ready
20:29
Speaker 2: or prepared for how many churches are dropping the ball
20:33
Speaker 2: because the church is supposed to equip the saints for
20:36
Speaker 2: the ministry and to get the word out right, to
20:40
Speaker 2: sound the alarm, to let them know what's coming. Right today,
20:45
Speaker 2: I've already decided I'm dead right. The Bible says that
20:48
Speaker 2: we are to die daily. And I'm not saying I'm
20:51
Speaker 2: all this or that and the other. No, it's the
20:53
Speaker 2: Holy Spirit. I cry out for grace, the Holy Spirit
20:56
Speaker 2: to where if I have to allay my life down
20:58
Speaker 2: for the faith that I will be able to do
21:01
Speaker 2: so and without hesitation, because he's worthy. And also others
21:09
Speaker 2: are watching, right, others are watching, and so that's where
21:17
Speaker 2: we see Jeremiah. There's a plot against his life. They
21:21
Speaker 2: want to take him off of this earth. And so
21:25
Speaker 2: his response is, but O, Lord of host, you who
21:29
Speaker 2: judge righteously testing the mind in the heart, let me
21:35
Speaker 2: see your vengeance on them, for you have revealed for
21:42
Speaker 2: I'm excuse, excuse me, for I have revealed my cause.
21:45
Speaker 2: Now Jeremiah responds to it in an awesome, an amazing way.
21:50
Speaker 2: And let this be an example for us. Amen, even
21:55
Speaker 2: though we may run into situations and circumstances, we may
22:00
Speaker 2: have haters that will come out of woodworks. I've been
22:05
Speaker 2: in situations where God has delivered me time and time again.
22:11
Speaker 2: I have been in situations where I thought it was
22:13
Speaker 2: over for me. I thought that okay, I'm cooked. But
22:18
Speaker 2: I cried out to the Lord, and thankfully he heard
22:21
Speaker 2: my cry. I'm thankful every time. It is a privilege
22:24
Speaker 2: to get answered prayer. Let us not just take that
22:29
Speaker 2: for granted because we just read that they will cry
22:33
Speaker 2: to the Lord and He's not gonna listen to them.
22:37
Speaker 2: So we're in a time where God will listen to
22:39
Speaker 2: our prayer. So I hope that will encourage us to
22:43
Speaker 2: go even deeper in our prayer life with him. Amen,
22:46
Speaker 2: there are devotions with him. But my personal testimony is
22:51
Speaker 2: I don't know. I feel like David right, David was
22:56
Speaker 2: persecuted and he was chased by Saul, and David thought
23:02
Speaker 2: that he was gonna lose his life and I'm gonna
23:06
Speaker 2: have to last second. The Lord saved him and rescuing him,
23:12
Speaker 2: and I feel like, man, this is my testimony. I'm
23:15
Speaker 2: even going through the fire right now. But I'm crying
23:19
Speaker 2: out to the Lord that he will hear my cause
23:24
Speaker 2: that he'll react. He notice he's asking for God to
23:28
Speaker 2: fight for him. He's like, take vengeance on these people.
23:31
Speaker 2: These people are trying to kill me. They're trying to
23:33
Speaker 2: take me out, Like, look up on them. Lord, you know,
23:37
Speaker 2: fight back, and I believe we can do that. David
23:41
Speaker 2: prayed those prayers. Amen, that all we have to do
23:44
Speaker 2: is hold our peace and he will fight our battles.

Speaker 2: live chat. Shout out to my Brother's Own three A.
27:42
Speaker 2: I appreciate you for checking on me the other day.
27:48
Speaker 2: You know, there's times when if I don't make it
27:51
Speaker 2: to the live chat at eleven o'clock, our Brother's Zone
27:54
Speaker 2: three is there holders down. So if you do have
27:57
Speaker 2: a question or you need prayer something like I say,
28:01
Speaker 2: someone from the team will be there waiting to minister
28:05
Speaker 2: and to bless people. And I was just caught up
28:09
Speaker 2: in this situation to where I just couldn't make it,
28:12
Speaker 2: but my brother reached out to me, So I appreciate you,
28:14
Speaker 2: bro for holding down the live chat. Much love to
28:19
Speaker 2: our Brother's Own three and everyone else. We appreciate y'all
28:26
Speaker 2: for logging in. We have a lot of listeners out there,
28:29
Speaker 2: but we really want y'all to log into live chat
28:32
Speaker 2: and come and say what's up to the crew. Let's
28:35
Speaker 2: build our online community. Speaking of that, it's time for
28:42
Speaker 2: the accountability partner. That's one of the main reasons why
28:46
Speaker 2: we log into the live chat so we can have fellowship.
28:49
Speaker 2: We want to minister and help and bless people. And
28:55
Speaker 2: so here's a challenge for this week. Take a close
28:58
Speaker 2: look at your walk with Christ. Right, is there any
29:02
Speaker 2: area where you're relying on religious rituals instead of genuine obedience.
29:11
Speaker 2: We just need genuine obedience. We need to pray for
29:14
Speaker 2: this and ask God for this. Now, Jeremiah reminds us
29:18
Speaker 2: that God desires repentance over ritual and man, he wants
29:25
Speaker 2: a transformed heart. Now here's some action steps too. Reach
29:29
Speaker 2: out to your accountability partner this week and ask each
29:33
Speaker 2: other these three questions. Have you spent time with God
29:38
Speaker 2: every day this week? Is there any sin you've been
29:42
Speaker 2: hiding or ignoring? And how can I pray for you
29:47
Speaker 2: this week? And man, that these could be some tough questions.
29:51
Speaker 2: Only way this will be effective as if we have
29:56
Speaker 2: integrity and make sure we get with people that we trust,
30:00
Speaker 2: people who have the heart of God, people that are
30:02
Speaker 2: not gonna gossip and put our business out there, you
30:04
Speaker 2: know what I mean? So there are some qualifications to this. Hey, man,
30:15
Speaker 2: that being said, let us go to our next segment.
30:28
Speaker 2: What is my next segment? Oh? His hot radio? I
30:31
Speaker 2: had a pause for a second We want to let

36:03
Speaker 2: as we're close to the study in Jeremiah eleven one
36:06
Speaker 2: through eleven, remember this God isn't looking for perfect people,
36:12
Speaker 2: He's looking for repentant hearts. Judah had the temple, they
36:17
Speaker 2: had sacrifices and traditions, but they had drifted away from
36:23
Speaker 2: a genuine relationship with God. That is the warning for
36:28
Speaker 2: us all. Don't let your faith become routine. Don't let
36:33
Speaker 2: church attendance replace a daily walk with Christ. God desires
36:40
Speaker 2: obedience over empty religion, and he still lovingly calls his
36:45
Speaker 2: people back to himself. Right. Remember I said, while he
36:51
Speaker 2: is listening, and we need to be calling out to
36:53
Speaker 2: him a man. So let Jeremiah. I mean that, Jeremiah.
37:00
Speaker 2: You may face rejection if you're standing on God's truth.
37:05
Speaker 2: You may even be criticized by people you love. But
37:11
Speaker 2: don't be discouraged. Guy sees your faithfulness, he knows your heart,
37:17
Speaker 2: and he will always be your defender. Amen. I'm a
37:22
Speaker 2: living witness of that. Now this week, spend time in
37:26
Speaker 2: Guy's word, examine your heart and asking him to reveal
37:29
Speaker 2: anything that needs to be changed. His discipline is meant
37:34
Speaker 2: to draw us closer, not push us away. Now, thank
