- 1:35Speaker 1: What is this am? In the afternoon out here, and
- 1:39Speaker 1: we go word from word, chapter by chapter through the
- 1:43Speaker 1: Word of God. Together. We believe on this podcast that
- 1:48Speaker 1: the ingrafted Word is able to save our souls. And
- 1:53Speaker 1: we believe on walking this narrow world together, we're supposed
- 1:57Speaker 1: to encourage each other. Iron sharpening, iron, all that good stuff.
- 2:03Speaker 1: And so what I'm gonna do is I'm going to
- 2:05Speaker 1: invite you to join us in a live chat. And
- 2:09Speaker 1: a live chat is where we pray for each other,
- 2:11Speaker 1: where we have questions, and where we can hold each
- 2:15Speaker 1: other accountable. And the way you do that is you
- 2:18Speaker 1: download his out radio app eachs HP on all platforms,
- 2:24Speaker 1: and then once you have it, go ahead to the
- 2:27Speaker 1: top left menu, hit that drop down and once you
- 2:31Speaker 1: hit it, go to live chat and then register. It
- 2:35Speaker 1: only takes a couple of minutes. All you have to
- 2:37Speaker 1: do is type in a username, email, addressing password, and
- 2:42Speaker 1: you are a part of the family. You know, beloved it.
- 2:47Speaker 2: See.
- 2:47Speaker 1: The Word of God tells us that only a few
- 2:51Speaker 1: will find life, that the broad road to destruction is wide,
- 2:59Speaker 1: and there are many who find that path. You don't
- 3:03Speaker 1: want to go down that broad road for eternal This
- 3:07Speaker 1: is we're talking about our eternal destiny, our eternal future.
- 3:12Speaker 1: You don't want to go and be lost for all eternity.
- 3:16Speaker 1: You want to stay on that narrow path. And that
- 3:20Speaker 1: is a heart of this podcast. It's difficult, it's not easy,
- 3:26Speaker 1: but we're not alone. We need to band together, pray
- 3:30Speaker 1: for each other, and encourage one another. Yes. And so
- 3:35Speaker 1: with that being said, we are in the Book of Acts.
- 3:38Speaker 1: We are going through chapter eleven, and we're adverse nineteen.
- 3:44Speaker 1: We're gonna go through nineteen and sixteen. So let's go
- 3:48Speaker 1: before our father in prayer. Heavenly Father, we come before you,
- 3:53Speaker 1: and we ask Heavenly Father that you will take over
- 3:57Speaker 1: that this is truly his hop radio, in his hop podcast.
- 4:05Speaker 1: This truly belongs to you, Oh God, everything in our lives. Lord,
- 4:09Speaker 1: we give it over to you. Lord. Help us to
- 4:11Speaker 1: seek You with our whole hearts. Oh God, help us,
- 4:15Speaker 1: o God, to get everything that we can out of
- 4:19Speaker 1: this episode. Lord, we asked it. You will bless the
- 4:21Speaker 1: ears that will hear it. We ask so God that
- 4:24Speaker 1: this will go out all over the world and be
- 4:27Speaker 1: a blessing to everyone. We thank you Father, We praise
- 4:32Speaker 1: you Father in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen and Amen, hallelujah. Well,
- 4:42Speaker 1: like I said, welcome back to the Book of Acts.
- 4:45Speaker 1: Acts eleven shows us something powerful and we're gonna look
- 4:50Speaker 1: at it in this chapter. Now, what the enemy meant
- 4:56Speaker 1: for destruction, God used it for a expansion and we're
- 5:02Speaker 1: gonna see persecution in this chapter. But I've said this
- 5:06Speaker 1: before persecution actually helps the church. It never really hurts
- 5:13Speaker 1: the church, right, and the enemy knows this. So we're
- 5:16Speaker 1: gonna see this in this chapter. Now, in this episode,
- 5:23Speaker 1: they were first called Christians, and that is actually our tile.
- 5:29Speaker 1: Now we'll see how persecution didn't silence the church, it
- 5:33Speaker 1: spread it and it grows. Amen. So let's pick it
- 5:41Speaker 1: up in Firse nineteen where we're gonna say that they
- 5:47Speaker 1: were scattered, but they were not silenced. And I'm coming
- 5:51Speaker 1: at you from the new King James. And it says
- 5:54Speaker 1: now those who were scattered after the persecution that a
- 6:00Speaker 1: rose over Stephen traveled as far as I can't pronounce
- 6:11Speaker 1: that name, Penoscevia, Cyprus, and Antioch, preaching the word to
- 6:19Speaker 1: no one but the Jews only. Now I find this
- 6:22Speaker 1: pretty interesting, how they went and they preached the word,
- 6:28Speaker 1: but they only preached it to the Jews. And we
- 6:30Speaker 1: just went over the chapter in chapter ten how Peter
- 6:35Speaker 1: was sent to the house of a gentile. So we
- 6:40Speaker 1: see that this movement right here is fresh and it's new,
- 6:44Speaker 1: and it still has to impact the rest of the community,
- 6:48Speaker 1: which it has over the years. But the scattering of
- 6:52Speaker 1: believers was not accidental, not at all. It was strategic
- 7:00Speaker 1: and God's plan to spread the Gospel of Christ. Now,
- 7:05Speaker 1: Stephan's death did not stop the church, it launched it.
- 7:11Speaker 1: But notice this, they were preaching yet still limited and
- 7:17Speaker 1: that's by their habits, by their traditions. Right, God was
- 7:21Speaker 1: stretching geographically faster than the theology, and we talked about
- 7:30Speaker 1: that before. You know, yes, the Gospel can spread geographically,
- 7:36Speaker 1: but God also has to change the hearts in the
- 7:40Speaker 1: minds of the people as they are spreading the word. Amen.
- 7:45Speaker 1: And he's still doing this today. A man, it is awesome. Now,
- 7:52Speaker 1: I do not want to forget our brother who has persecuted,
- 7:57Speaker 1: our brother, Charlie Kirk, and we know that he was assassinated.
- 8:04Speaker 1: And I don't care the political things behind it and
- 8:07Speaker 1: all the conspiracies all that right that people can dive into.
- 8:11Speaker 1: But I know one thing. People were emboldened after that.
- 8:17Speaker 1: The church rose up right, and I believe that we
- 8:23Speaker 1: are living in that time again where great persecution will
- 8:28Speaker 1: be at our doorstep. All right, now, we're gonna check
- 8:35Speaker 1: them out. There's gonna be a breakthrough here in Antioch
- 8:38Speaker 1: here in verse twenty. But some of them were men
- 8:42Speaker 1: from Cyprus and Sirene, who when they had come to Antioch,
- 8:49Speaker 1: spoke to the Helenists preaching the Lord Jesus. Now, if
- 8:55Speaker 1: we can remember earlier in the Book of Acts, the
- 8:58Speaker 1: Helenists are the Jews, but they were influenced by the
- 9:03Speaker 1: Grecian culture. You know, they were basically Greeks, but they
- 9:09Speaker 1: were Jews. Okay, So now it's starting to expand. Now,
- 9:15Speaker 1: this wasn't in apostle command. This was spirit led boldness.
- 9:23Speaker 1: Regular believers crossed the line first. And this is how
- 9:28Speaker 1: it should be in the church. It should be everyone
- 9:31Speaker 1: should be evangelists, right. It shouldn't be left up to
- 9:35Speaker 1: the apostles and the prophets and the pastors to evangelize
- 9:40Speaker 1: all of us as the body should. Evangelists should evangelize
- 9:46Speaker 1: like our prayers should be always to give us a
- 9:49Speaker 1: heart and a burden for souls for those who are lost,
- 9:54Speaker 1: to always talk about Jesus. And the hand of the
- 9:58Speaker 1: Lord was with them, and a great number believed and
- 10:03Speaker 1: turned to the Lord. Hallelujah. Now, when the hand of
- 10:07Speaker 1: the Lord is with us, that makes the difference altogether.
- 10:13Speaker 1: God is always about people. The Gospel is a people business. Amen.
- 10:18Speaker 1: If you want to touch the heart of God, serve
- 10:23Speaker 1: less in love his people. Amen. Now, when the Lord's
- 10:28Speaker 1: hand is present, results will follow. We will see the
- 10:32Speaker 1: fruit to that. It's not because of our methods, but
- 10:36Speaker 1: because of our obedience. We keep coming back to this.
- 10:40Speaker 1: A true minister cares more about obedience than anything else.
- 10:46Speaker 1: And they didn't just believe they turned. Conversion always involves
- 10:54Speaker 1: direction change. Amen. Now that's a T shirt somehow. If
- 11:00Speaker 1: you are saved, did you change your direction? Right? If
- 11:06Speaker 1: you didn't change your direction, then you're not saved if
- 11:09Speaker 1: you have not been converted. So that we need to
- 11:13Speaker 1: add that to our paralyzed that we will get authentic
- 11:16Speaker 1: conversions from people God, and that our lives will be
- 11:20Speaker 1: authentically converted over to Him. Amen. Hallelujah. Now we're gonna
- 11:30Speaker 1: take a look at the life of Barnabas. Barnabas is
- 11:35Speaker 1: going to take center stage. In chapter twenty two. The
- 11:39Speaker 1: news of these things came to the ears of the
- 11:42Speaker 1: church in Jerusalem, and they sent out Barnabas to go
- 11:47Speaker 1: as far as Antioch. Now Jerusalem does it shut down?
- 11:53Speaker 1: They send encouragement. Now that's wisdom. Now Jerusalem, we will say,
- 12:00Speaker 1: is like the First Church, is like the head church,
- 12:04Speaker 1: but they sent out ministers to help those who are
- 12:09Speaker 1: freshly into the faith. That verse twenty three. Then he
- 12:15Speaker 1: came and had seen the grace of God. Hallelujah. He
- 12:19Speaker 1: witnessed it for himself. He was glad. Now when you
- 12:24Speaker 1: see the grace of God, does that touch you? Do
- 12:28Speaker 1: you rejoice when you see the grace of God moving
- 12:31Speaker 1: in the lives of others? We need to pray, Lord,
- 12:34Speaker 1: show us where your grace is moving in our community,
- 12:38Speaker 1: and let us show up to be encouragements. You know,
- 12:41Speaker 1: every Paul need a Barnabas. Barnabas is an encourager, and
- 12:48Speaker 1: it says he encouraged them all that with purpose of heart,
- 12:52Speaker 1: they should continue with the Lord. Now, that's Keith, you
- 12:56Speaker 1: need to high light the scripture. This is what we
- 13:00Speaker 1: need to be telling others. This is discipleship, and this
- 13:04Speaker 1: is what we need to remember ourselves to purpose our
- 13:09Speaker 1: hearts in the Lord and to continue. It's not just
- 13:15Speaker 1: saying a prayer then walking away. We have to continue
- 13:19Speaker 1: with the Lord and we have to purpose in our heart.
- 13:22Speaker 1: That's a whole study right there. Because our heart is
- 13:25Speaker 1: an issue of all things. All the Bible says guard
- 13:31Speaker 1: your heart with all diligence, for out of it are
- 13:33Speaker 1: the issues of life. We will be judged. Out of
- 13:37Speaker 1: the things and our hearts. Our heart is key on
- 13:40Speaker 1: what if we go to heaven or hell. Amen. The
- 13:45Speaker 1: Lord wants our heart and the enemy wants to molest it.
- 13:50Speaker 1: So we have to guard our hearts and cleanse it
- 13:54Speaker 1: and protect it now. And one of the ways to
- 13:56Speaker 1: do it is to continue in the word. Amen, continue
- 14:01Speaker 1: to show up to the podcast, continue to do things
- 14:05Speaker 1: that will help your spiritual life, that will give you
- 14:09Speaker 1: a healthy heart. Now, Barnabas recognize genuine grace at work,
- 14:16Speaker 1: and it was not disorder at all. Barnabas didn't come
- 14:23Speaker 1: policing the movement. He came to affirment. And that's all
- 14:29Speaker 1: we really need from our leaders and pastors is to
- 14:33Speaker 1: bring confirmation and to bring definition and to confirm God's grace,
- 14:40Speaker 1: not to police it or try to control it or
- 14:43Speaker 1: try to make it something that God never intended it
- 14:48Speaker 1: to be. Amen, hallelujah. Healthy leaders recognize God's work even
- 14:55Speaker 1: when it looks unfamiliar, to recognize the mind and the
- 15:03Speaker 1: heart in the hand of God. Hallelujah all right. Verse
- 15:06Speaker 1: twenty four. For he was a good man, full of
- 15:10Speaker 1: the Holy Spirit and a faith. Now that phrase, I
- 15:15Speaker 1: like that. Are you a man full of the Holy
- 15:17Speaker 1: Spirit and a faith? These things need to balance our lives. Amen,
- 15:24Speaker 1: And a great many people were added to the Lord.
- 15:29Speaker 1: I believe that if we're full, if we are full
- 15:32Speaker 1: of the Holy Spirit and a faith, that we will
- 15:36Speaker 1: impact the community around us. Hallelujah. Amen. Now our character matters.
- 15:48Speaker 1: God uses people who can handle growth. If we're full
- 15:53Speaker 1: of the Holy Spirit and a faith, God will add
- 16:00Speaker 1: to our ministries. Amen. I believe it. Now this is
- 16:09Speaker 1: where a name is given in verse twenty five, and
- 16:13Speaker 1: Barnabas departed for Tarsus to seek Saul. Now Saul comes
- 16:23Speaker 1: into this picture. Now Barnabas knew he had needed help.
- 16:31Speaker 1: Strong leaders aren't threatened by partnership, and so I thought,
- 16:39Speaker 1: this is interesting. Barnabas probably could have made this his
- 16:44Speaker 1: own ministry. He probably could have put his name on
- 16:48Speaker 1: the building, the Ministry of Barnabas and try to make
- 16:52Speaker 1: a name for himself. But no, this man said, let
- 16:56Speaker 1: me go and find Saul. He knew something about Saul.
- 17:03Speaker 1: He knew that Saul would be able to help these people.
- 17:10Speaker 1: Maybe there was something in Saul that would grow that
- 17:14Speaker 1: the Lord was doing. He didn't just try to keep
- 17:18Speaker 1: this to himself, like I'm the one who was sent
- 17:20Speaker 1: from Jerusalem from the head church. You know how we are.
- 17:26Speaker 1: You know, if our head church, our head pastors sends
- 17:28Speaker 1: us into some type of ministry situation, how many of
- 17:34Speaker 1: us are going to go seek somebody else to come
- 17:37Speaker 1: and lead it or to be a part of it. Right?
- 17:40Speaker 1: We know because of the Book of Acts, if we
- 17:45Speaker 1: read it before that Barnabas and Paul do a lot
- 17:51Speaker 1: of ministry together. But Paul was kind of considered the
- 17:55Speaker 1: leader in that circle. Now when he in verse twenty six,
- 18:02Speaker 1: when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch.
- 18:06Speaker 1: So it was that for a while, I mean for
- 18:10Speaker 1: a whole year, they assembled with the church and taught
- 18:14Speaker 1: a great many people, and the disciples were first called
- 18:19Speaker 1: Christians in Antioch. Amen. Now the name Christian means belonging
- 18:28Speaker 1: to Christ. Now, I think it's very interesting here because
- 18:35Speaker 1: I've heard pastors and even my pastor say that God
- 18:40Speaker 1: did not give us this name. This name was given
- 18:43Speaker 1: to us by men. We were called the way before this,
- 18:50Speaker 1: or the Bible just calls us believers or saints. But
- 18:58Speaker 1: I don't really see this term ever giving directly by God.
- 19:04Speaker 1: And you know, God is good at giving people names,
- 19:08Speaker 1: naming things, right. He renamed people in the Bible time
- 19:13Speaker 1: and time again. He named Abram to Abraham. He named
- 19:18Speaker 1: Sarah Sarai to Sarah. Right, he names Saul to Paul,
- 19:26Speaker 1: and he called him Peter. What was his name? I
- 19:31Speaker 1: think it was Simon, Peter or anyway, you know what
- 19:34Speaker 1: I'm trying to say. But we don't read where God
- 19:38Speaker 1: actually gave us this name. This name was given to
- 19:41Speaker 1: us by men. The name means means belonging to Christ.
- 19:49Speaker 1: It was like likely given by the outsiders who saw
- 19:56Speaker 1: Christ reflected in their lives. I mean that's I mean,
- 20:04Speaker 1: I don't think that's a bad thing. You know, I
- 20:06Speaker 1: want Christ to be reflected in my life and to
- 20:10Speaker 1: a point where people will call me that. Right. This
- 20:14Speaker 1: wasn't a label they chose, right, It was a reputation
- 20:22Speaker 1: that they lived Christians. Now, they didn't just believe in Christ.
- 20:29Speaker 1: They looked like him. And that's the difference. Do you
- 20:33Speaker 1: believe or do you look like? Christian wasn't a title,
- 20:42Speaker 1: It was a testimony. Let me say that again. Christian
- 20:47Speaker 1: was not a title. Christian was a testimony, and I
- 20:54Speaker 1: find that pretty interesting. Let me know in the Life
- 20:57Speaker 1: Chat if you've read in the Bible anywhere where God
- 21:01Speaker 1: himself used that term Christian describing us as believers. All right,
- 21:10Speaker 1: let's go to a break.
- 21:12Speaker 3: You are listening to the light of Las Vegas. This
- 21:16Speaker 3: is the hiss hop radio show.

- 24:10Speaker 3: You are listening to the light of Las Vegas. This
- 24:13Speaker 3: is the His Hop Radio show.
- 24:33Speaker 1: All right, all right, we are back from that break.
- 24:35Speaker 1: This is your boy, mister his Hot. This is his
- 24:39Speaker 1: Hot radio station. We're going through the Book of Acts,
- 24:44Speaker 1: and now we're breaking it down that that word Christian.
- 24:48Speaker 1: Where did they come from? And why did that name
- 24:54Speaker 1: come about? It's always good to research and know our history. Amen,
- 25:01Speaker 1: that was uninvited with a good thing. That's you know,
- 25:03Speaker 1: a nice little cut to kind of come up with
- 25:06Speaker 1: your wife, right, not your girlfriend, with your wife and
- 25:10Speaker 1: just kick it. Get some good gully virus going between
- 25:14Speaker 1: each other. You know what I'm saying is good to
- 25:17Speaker 1: have them date nights. All right. So our next segment
- 25:24Speaker 1: is our accountability Partner. Now, accountability Partner is kind of
- 25:32Speaker 1: like what I said earlier in the podcast. You know,
- 25:34Speaker 1: the narrow road is difficult and there's few that find it.
- 25:40Speaker 1: There's gonna be a few that actually enter into the kingdom.
- 25:44Speaker 1: And I'm talking about those who go to church. You know,
- 25:49Speaker 1: those who walk away from Christ are not the most dangerous.
- 25:53Speaker 1: Those are the real and like you can respect them.
- 25:56Speaker 1: As even a book of Revelation, God says, whether you
- 26:00Speaker 1: be hot or cold, but if you're look warm, I
- 26:04Speaker 1: will give you out of my mouth. It's those who
- 26:06Speaker 1: go to church, those who sing worship songs, but yet
- 26:12Speaker 1: they have not yielded their lives to Christ. And basically,
- 26:18Speaker 1: if you still think you can do this your way,
- 26:21Speaker 1: if you think you don't need a church, you think
- 26:24Speaker 1: you don't need to read your Bible, you think you
- 26:26Speaker 1: don't need to obey God, if you don't think you
- 26:29Speaker 1: need to be converted and delivered in all that, chances
- 26:35Speaker 1: are you're not going to make it. A man. We
- 26:40Speaker 1: have to have a healthy fear of God, and we
- 26:42Speaker 1: got to allow God to change our lives, and that
- 26:47Speaker 1: means change our thought life, what we think in our opinion.
- 26:52Speaker 1: We can't make this up on our own. We have
- 26:54Speaker 1: to have a postur of obedience. If the Lord says
- 26:58Speaker 1: go to church, we need to be in church. If
- 27:01Speaker 1: the Lord says give, we need to give. If the
- 27:03Speaker 1: Lord says pray, we need to pray. We need to
- 27:05Speaker 1: seek him. And it takes discipline, it takes a mind change,
- 27:10Speaker 1: it takes a lot of this. But I'm gonna be
- 27:13Speaker 1: faithful to the word. You can never say that, oh
- 27:16Speaker 1: I never heard. I listened to his hot podcast and
- 27:19Speaker 1: I never heard that before. You know, I'm gonna share
- 27:22Speaker 1: all the guy's word and I'm going to do my
- 27:25Speaker 1: best to make it in Hallelujah, to do my part.
- 27:31Speaker 1: And so that's what the accountability partner is. And I mean,
- 27:35Speaker 1: we're here to encourage each other. You know, we sometimes
- 27:38Speaker 1: we need to agree in prayer so that we can
- 27:41Speaker 1: break down these strongholds. Some things won't move or change
- 27:46Speaker 1: if we don't come together as a body, fast and
- 27:50Speaker 1: pray and come together in agreement. We need to be
- 27:54Speaker 1: doing this for our loved ones and our family members,
- 27:56Speaker 1: those that we know are headed to destruction. When was
- 28:00Speaker 1: the last time you fasted for a family member or
- 28:03Speaker 1: a friend that you knew needed the Lord hallelujah. This
- 28:09Speaker 1: should be our hearts. We need to humble ourselves before
- 28:12Speaker 1: our King. And also, if you want to go further
- 28:18Speaker 1: in the segments on the app. Go to the top
- 28:21Speaker 1: left menu, click on podcasts, click on his High Radio
- 28:25Speaker 1: podcasts and fill out the accountability partner questions and you
- 28:29Speaker 1: can also request and follow up. We will pray with you,
- 28:32Speaker 1: we will add you to the segments, and you know
- 28:36Speaker 1: we can work through some things. That's the purpose behind it.
- 28:41Speaker 1: And also here's a challenge. Call your accountability partner and
- 28:44Speaker 1: go over these questions or these topics of discussions. And
- 28:49Speaker 1: here's a good topic for you. Are you waiting for
- 28:52Speaker 1: permission to share Jesus or responding to an opportunity? Some
- 29:00Speaker 1: of the most powerful moves of God starts with every
- 29:04Speaker 1: day obedience, right, just every day obedience. That should be
- 29:12Speaker 1: our main concern, Not our bills when we wake up,
- 29:16Speaker 1: not work, not our spouses, our relationships. The first thing
- 29:22Speaker 1: in our hearts should be obedience. Where can I obey
- 29:27Speaker 1: God today? Hallelujah? We need to add that to our
- 29:31Speaker 1: prayer list. I'm gonna add that to mine most definitely.
- 29:37Speaker 1: All right, now it's time for a trivia question. Now,
- 29:41Speaker 1: let's go over to the life chat. Let's get our
- 29:43Speaker 1: fingers ready. I do want to give a shout out
- 29:46Speaker 1: to our brother Corinthian our brother Zone three. Zone three man,
