  Speaker 5: of Jeremiah chapter eleven, a whole new chapter. So we

  Speaker 5: are moving slowly but surely through the Book of Jeremiah.

  Speaker 5: Jeremiah is a large book, so by the grace of God,
• 1:33
  Speaker 5: we will be able to finish it and accomplish it

  Speaker 5: something that is a place where you can get some help,
• 1:55
  Speaker 5: some agreement. In prayer, we share scripture, we share questions

  Speaker 5: and topics and all that good stuff. You know, the

  Speaker 5: Bible says to make disciples of all nations. And also
• 2:09
  Speaker 5: it says that iron sharpens iron. You know, we're not
• 2:13

• 3:12
  Speaker 5: let's go before our father and prayer only. Father, Thank you,
• 3:16
  Speaker 5: Father God for your many blessings, Thank you for your
• 3:19
  Speaker 5: grace that you are faithful to show up every day. Father.
• 3:24
  Speaker 5: We ask Father God, that we will seek you in
• 3:27
  Speaker 5: that we will find you, and you are a rewarder
• 3:30
  Speaker 5: of those who diligently seek you. We ask Father God,
• 3:34
  Speaker 5: that you will join us, not only join us, but
• 3:36
  Speaker 5: you will take over this podcast. Father, I'm only a steward.
• 3:41
  Speaker 5: It belongs to you. So we asked you to do
• 3:44
  Speaker 5: what you desire to do with it. And we ask
• 3:47
  Speaker 5: all this in Jesus' mighty name. Heymen, all right, well
• 3:57
  Speaker 5: let's jump right into it. I'm coming at you from
• 4:02
  Speaker 5: the new King James today, and we're gonna take on
• 4:06
  Speaker 5: the first ten verses. So Jeremiah chapter eleven, Verse one,
• 4:13
  Speaker 5: the word which came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying,
• 4:19
  Speaker 5: hear the words of this Covenant and speak to the
• 4:24
  Speaker 5: men of Judah and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem. So
• 4:30
  Speaker 5: that's the first two verses, right, So the word of
• 4:34
  Speaker 5: the Lord came to Jeremiah. I think it's interesting that
• 4:39
  Speaker 5: these prophets have this ability to hear directly from God.
• 4:44
  Speaker 5: We don't know exactly how they heard. We don't know
• 4:48
  Speaker 5: if it was a vision. You know, some prophets tell
• 4:51
  Speaker 5: you that they had visions or dream Joseph had dreams
• 4:57
  Speaker 5: in the Book of Genesis. But Jerem Maya. He just
• 5:00
  Speaker 5: tells us that the word of the Lord King to
• 5:03
  Speaker 5: him verse two, and it says, here are the words
• 5:08
  Speaker 5: of this covenant. So the topic of discussion today will
• 5:12
  Speaker 5: be the covenant God is reminding his people of the covenant.
• 5:19
  Speaker 5: God is a covenant God. So this is very important
• 5:23
  Speaker 5: from the podcast today as we go over this, and
• 5:26
  Speaker 5: he says, speak to the minute Judah and to the
• 5:31
  Speaker 5: inhabitants of Jerusalem. So this is to be a publicly
• 5:35
  Speaker 5: proclaimed message. Jeremiah is to go into the public arena,
• 5:41
  Speaker 5: maybe in the street, maybe some type of rooftop or
• 5:46
  Speaker 5: some type of stage setting to where they can gather
• 5:50
  Speaker 5: publicly to hear this word verse three, and say to them,
• 5:57
  Speaker 5: thus says the Lord God of Israe Rail, curse is
• 6:01
  Speaker 5: the man one he does not obey the words of
• 6:06
  Speaker 5: this covenant, which I command your father's in the day
• 6:12
  Speaker 5: I brought them out of the land of Egypt. Amen, Hallelujah.
• 6:20
  Speaker 5: Now this is serious. Now the Hebrew word for curse
• 6:27
  Speaker 5: is a R d O R. I believe if I'm
• 6:31
  Speaker 5: pronouncing it spelling it right, Give me a second, and uh,
• 6:36
  Speaker 5: let me look this up because I do want it
• 6:41
  Speaker 5: to be accurate. Was that in verse three right, cursed? Yes,
• 6:55
  Speaker 5: it is.
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: A r you are.
• 7:00
  Speaker 5: How re you pronounce it, And it means to be bound,
• 7:04
  Speaker 5: to be restricted, to be cut off from the blessing.
• 7:08
  Speaker 5: God is saying straight up, if you don't obey the covenant,
• 7:12
  Speaker 5: you're cut off from the promise. And that is real
• 7:18
  Speaker 5: talk right there. That is something that we really need
• 7:22
  Speaker 5: to play close attention to. Let's read it again. And
• 7:28
  Speaker 5: they said to them, thus says the Lord God of Israel.
• 7:32
  Speaker 5: Cursed is a man who does not obey the words
• 7:36
  Speaker 5: of this covenant which I commandage your fathers. And today
• 7:41
  Speaker 5: I brought them out of the land of Egypt verse
• 7:46
  Speaker 5: and from the iron, the iron furnace, saying, obey my
• 7:53
  Speaker 5: voice and do according to all that I command you.
• 8:00
  Speaker 5: So thus you may be my people, and I will
• 8:06
  Speaker 5: be your god a man. So that was verse four
• 8:13
  Speaker 5: that we read now, which I commanded your fathers in
• 8:17
  Speaker 5: the day I brought them out of the land of Egypt.
• 8:21
  Speaker 5: And of course we know the story of Moses. We
• 8:25
  Speaker 5: understand that the Red Sea was parted, that Egypt was
• 8:30
  Speaker 5: hit with ten different plagues. Each plague was an attack
• 8:35
  Speaker 5: against their false gods. God was showing that he was
• 8:39
  Speaker 5: supreme and those guys that they put their trust in
• 8:43
  Speaker 5: were not. They were just idols.
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 8:46
  Speaker 5: That has been the issue since Adam fell in a garden,
• 8:52
  Speaker 5: was idolatry and idol worship men chasing after other gods,
• 8:58
  Speaker 5: trying to find fulfillment. And so this was God showing
• 9:04
  Speaker 5: that he is the true and living God. And it
• 9:07
  Speaker 5: says from the iron furnace. Now that's an interesting term,
• 9:14
  Speaker 5: iron furnace. It shows now if you think of an
• 9:18
  Speaker 5: iron furnace, you think of fire, right, you think of
• 9:22
  Speaker 5: hot iron, you know, glowing hot iron, a hot a
• 9:26
  Speaker 5: very unpleasant place to be in. And this refers to
• 9:31
  Speaker 5: their time of slavery. They were slaves in Egypt. God
• 9:36
  Speaker 5: was reminding them how the conditions were. You know, sometimes
• 9:41
  Speaker 5: we could get out of a bad relationship or a
• 9:44
  Speaker 5: bad situation and we have thoughts of going back. How
• 9:48
  Speaker 5: many times have God delivered you from something? Just think
• 9:52
  Speaker 5: about it. He delivered you from a bad relationship, He
• 9:57
  Speaker 5: delivered you from pornography, You were delivered from drugs, alcohol,
• 10:04
  Speaker 5: It could be anything, greed, hatred, lust of forgiveness, and
• 10:09
  Speaker 5: then once we delivered, we find ourselves drifting back and
• 10:14
  Speaker 5: going back because we don't remember. We just want to
• 10:18
  Speaker 5: remember the good parts, right, I mean, let's be honest.
• 10:21
  Speaker 5: We sin because we love the sin, and God knows this.
• 10:28
  Speaker 5: God says that sin is fun, but only for a season.
• 10:32
  Speaker 5: It says that in the Bible it's temporary. That's the
• 10:35
  Speaker 5: problem with sin, and the consequences that you pay for
• 10:39
  Speaker 5: it does not equate to the amount of fun that
• 10:46
  Speaker 5: we so called think we have. Right, but if we
• 10:51
  Speaker 5: just remember that it was an iron furnace, if we
• 10:54
  Speaker 5: remember how unpleasant it was when we were trying to
• 10:58
  Speaker 5: get sober, when we had that sexually transmitted disease, where
• 11:03
  Speaker 5: we found ourselves doing things and we had no control
• 11:08
  Speaker 5: over we couldn't stop it. That's when we cried out
• 11:12
  Speaker 5: to our heavenly father. So God is reminding them that
• 11:16
  Speaker 5: this was an iron furnish situation, says the Lord. Obey
• 11:23
  Speaker 5: my voice and do according to all that I command you. Now,
• 11:31
  Speaker 5: as I referred earlier, God is a covenant God. I
• 11:34
  Speaker 5: wanted to go back to that reference because it's important
• 11:37
  Speaker 5: that we're going to see this all throughout this episode.
• 11:40
  Speaker 5: Today as he speaks. Now, the covenant is this, ohby
• 11:47
  Speaker 5: my voice. The covenant means that it is conditional, just
• 11:54
  Speaker 5: like a contract or anything else. You know, your place
• 11:59
  Speaker 5: of employment, it's conditional on if you keep the company policies,
• 12:05
  Speaker 5: you can remain employed. But if you violate company policy,
• 12:10
  Speaker 5: they have the right to separate you and dismiss you.
• 12:15
  Speaker 5: Right And we've all, possibly, especially in the times that
• 12:21
  Speaker 5: we're in right now, we've all experienced a situation something
• 12:25
  Speaker 5: like this, and sometimes of no wrong of our own,
• 12:30
  Speaker 5: we find ourselves separated. There's layoffs, there's different things like that.
• 12:35
  Speaker 5: Even in a marriage situation, it's a covenant. If your
• 12:39
  Speaker 5: spouse chooses to be unfaithful, how long do you think
• 12:43
  Speaker 5: that marriage would last If your spouse didn't build trust
• 12:48
  Speaker 5: or was very disrespectful or abuse of in the relationship,
• 12:54
  Speaker 5: they are not keeping their part of the covenant. So
• 12:59
  Speaker 5: why would that be any different with our heavenly Father
• 13:02
  Speaker 5: his covenant that he has with us. And yes, we're
• 13:06
  Speaker 5: in the Old Testament right now, but you can see
• 13:09
  Speaker 5: this in the New Testament when Jesus says, pick up
• 13:13
  Speaker 5: your cross daily, deny yourself and follow me. If you
• 13:17
  Speaker 5: want to be my disciple, it's under conditions. I believe
• 13:23
  Speaker 5: that there's a lie out there. They say one saved,
• 13:25
  Speaker 5: always saved. Well, what about the covenant part of our
• 13:28
  Speaker 5: relationship with God? If he had a covenant in the
• 13:32
  Speaker 5: Old Testament, why would he not have a covenant in
• 13:35
  Speaker 5: the New Testament. We need the whole revelation of God
• 13:38
  Speaker 5: and understand God's character and who he really is. Now
• 13:43
  Speaker 5: when it comes to his love, his love is unconditional.
• 13:49
  Speaker 5: His love is so great, it's an unconditional love. Yes,
• 13:53
  Speaker 5: even though we fail, and we have failures in our lives,
• 13:57
  Speaker 5: he will never stop loving us. He loves us so
• 14:00
  Speaker 5: much he will allow us to walk away from him
• 14:04
  Speaker 5: if we so choose to. He doesn't force us to
• 14:08
  Speaker 5: serve him. He doesn't force us at all. He respects
• 14:13
  Speaker 5: our free will. But his covenant is conditional. He says,
• 14:19
  Speaker 5: obey my voice and do according to all that I
• 14:23
  Speaker 5: command you. So shall you be my people? Now that's
• 14:27
  Speaker 5: the promise. That's the benefit of it. And I will
• 14:30
  Speaker 5: be your God. Now, if you want him to be
• 14:34
  Speaker 5: your God and you want to be his people, we
• 14:39
  Speaker 5: have to develop the habit of obeying his voice, keeping
• 14:44
  Speaker 5: his word, and keeping his commandment. Allowing the scripture to
• 14:47
  Speaker 5: be the govern governing authority in our hearts. Right, we
• 14:53
  Speaker 5: have to cast down our own imagination, our own emotions,
• 14:57
  Speaker 5: our own feelings, our own desires, and bring everything under
• 15:01
  Speaker 5: the submiss submit of authority of his word Verse five,
• 15:07
  Speaker 5: that I may establish the oath which I have sworn
• 15:10
  Speaker 5: to your father's. Now this is covenant talk, right. He
• 15:16
  Speaker 5: gave them an oath, he gave them a promise, but
• 15:18
  Speaker 5: he cannot perform it. He's asking permission. Now, think this
• 15:24
  Speaker 5: is God Almighty. He's like, obey my voice so that
• 15:29
  Speaker 5: I can fulfill my oath. As like it depends on us.
• 15:35
  Speaker 5: We really don't understand how much really all of this
• 15:39
  Speaker 5: relies on us and how we relate to our God
• 15:45
  Speaker 5: according to his covenant. Right, and he says, I have
• 15:52
  Speaker 5: sworn to give your fathers, to give them land flowing
• 15:57
  Speaker 5: with milk and honey as it is today. Now a
• 16:01
  Speaker 5: lot of people love that part of that part about God.
• 16:05
  Speaker 5: I mean, hey, I love that part about God. I
• 16:07
  Speaker 5: want the blessings. I want to live in a land
• 16:11
  Speaker 5: that is flowing with milk and honey. Who wants to
• 16:13
  Speaker 5: be in a place that's all dried up and sour
• 16:16
  Speaker 5: and sappy.
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 16:19
  Speaker 5: But the issue is we want God's blessings without obeying
• 16:23
  Speaker 5: the covenant, without meeting the conditions, without walking in a
• 16:28
  Speaker 5: way of obedience. Right now, Jeremiah has a beautiful answer
• 16:35
  Speaker 5: to the word of the Lord. And he answered and said,
• 16:38
  Speaker 5: so be it.
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: Lord.
• 16:41
  Speaker 5: It's almost like the same thing as when we say
• 16:43
  Speaker 5: a man in church, right, so be it. Like Lord,
• 16:48
  Speaker 5: this is your word, this is your covenant. We understand
• 16:52
  Speaker 5: the conditions. We failed to keep our part. And Lord, albeit,
• 17:01
  Speaker 5: if it's time for you to judge us because of
• 17:03
  Speaker 5: our failure, amen, so be it. Sometimes, if we find
• 17:08
  Speaker 5: ourselves being punished for something that we did, and if
• 17:14
  Speaker 5: God is correcting us, the best response is to be
• 17:18
  Speaker 5: humble and accepted. Why complain about it, Why have the wrong,
• 17:23
  Speaker 5: sinful attitude? Why blame others when you can say, you
• 17:27
  Speaker 5: know what, I did this, I did this to myself.
• 17:33
  Speaker 5: I will take responsibility for it. Amen. Verse six. And
• 17:42
  Speaker 5: the Lord said to me, proclaim all these words in
• 17:46
  Speaker 5: the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem.
• 17:52
  Speaker 5: Like I said before, this was a public proclamation. This
• 17:56
  Speaker 5: was for the entire city to hear, saying, here the
• 18:02
  Speaker 5: words of the Lord, excuse me, hear the words of
• 18:07
  Speaker 5: this covenant and do them right. I remember I said
• 18:13
  Speaker 5: earlier the topic is the covenant. We really have to
• 18:17
  Speaker 5: understand that this is how God deals with us in relationship.
• 18:22
  Speaker 5: It is covenant. Remember we said it's like a marriage,
• 18:26
  Speaker 5: right verse seven. For I earnestly exhorted your father's in
• 18:34
  Speaker 5: the day I brought them up out of the land
• 18:38
  Speaker 5: of Egypt until this day, rising early and exhorting, saying,
• 18:44
  Speaker 5: obey my voice. Yet they did not obey or incline
• 18:50
  Speaker 5: their ear. But everyone followed the dictates of his own
• 18:57
  Speaker 5: evil heart. Now we talk about this before, following the
• 19:03
  Speaker 5: dictates of our evil imaginations. Now we know now every
• 19:07
  Speaker 5: imagination is evil, hopefully not right in our hearts. But
• 19:12
  Speaker 5: when we get those evil thoughts, we've got to cast
• 19:16
  Speaker 5: them down immediately, because if we don't, our thoughts will
• 19:20
  Speaker 5: become our desires. And we know what happens when our
• 19:24
  Speaker 5: desires get away from us. We start to conjure up
• 19:29
  Speaker 5: and think of how many ways we can fulfill our desires. Right,
• 19:40
  Speaker 5: and so this is an indictment that they follow the
• 19:44
  Speaker 5: dictates of his evil heart. Therefore I will bring up
• 19:49
  Speaker 5: on them all the words of this covenant, which is
• 19:54
  Speaker 5: the key word today. What's the key word class covenant,
• 19:59
  Speaker 5: that's the key worried for this episode, which I commanded
• 20:02
  Speaker 5: them to do, but which they have not done. Now,
• 20:13
  Speaker 5: this is scary and sobering. He says, I will bring
• 20:16
  Speaker 5: up on them all the words of this covenant, all
• 20:22
  Speaker 5: other words. That means all of the curses. He's coming
• 20:27
  Speaker 5: with a heavy hand. He's coming with the haymaker. He
• 20:30
  Speaker 5: is not pulling any punches. He is gonna deal with them,
• 20:36
  Speaker 5: and deal with them severely. And if you look back
• 20:39
  Speaker 5: in history, you will know that that is exactly what
• 20:43
  Speaker 5: has happened. I've said in an earlier episode that the
• 20:50
  Speaker 5: archaeologists have found layers of ash in the city of
• 20:53
  Speaker 5: Jerusalem where they were invaded and destroyed by Babylon. Babylon
• 20:59
  Speaker 5: burnt that city to the ground. And that was God
• 21:03
  Speaker 5: bringing the full weight of the Covenant, of the curses,
• 21:10
  Speaker 5: of the word of the Lord upon the nation. As
• 21:14
  Speaker 5: his word says, and as his word promises a man.
• 21:19
  Speaker 5: There are promises that we don't want God to fulfill. Right,
• 21:24
  Speaker 5: There's a promise that if we live according to the
• 21:26
  Speaker 5: works of our flesh, we will not inherit the kingdom.
• 21:30
  Speaker 5: We got to deal severely with our flesh, because our
• 21:34
  Speaker 5: flesh will take us out of covenant, out of the
• 21:38
  Speaker 5: blessings and the protection of our heavenly Father. And it
• 21:43
  Speaker 5: says they have not done. And the Lord said to me,
• 21:48
  Speaker 5: a conspiracy has been found among the men of Judah
• 21:52
  Speaker 5: and among the inhabitants of Jerusalem. They have turned their
• 21:58
  Speaker 5: back to the iniquities. Excuse me. They have turned back
• 22:04
  Speaker 5: to the iniquities of their fathers, who refuse to hear
• 22:08
  Speaker 5: my words. And they have gone after other gods to
• 22:13
  Speaker 5: serve them. The house of Israel and the house of
• 22:17
  Speaker 5: Judah have broken my what's the keyword, covenant which I
• 22:22
  Speaker 5: made with their fathers. They have broken this covenant. They
• 22:28
  Speaker 5: have backslidden. They have gone back to their old ways,
• 22:37
  Speaker 5: and they did not take the word of the Lord seriously.
• 22:42
  Speaker 5: How do we know whether or not we take God's
• 22:47
  Speaker 5: words serious? Here, I'm gonna let you guess. When we
• 22:55
  Speaker 5: don't read it, we don't acknowledge it, don't search it out,
• 23:01
  Speaker 5: we don't study it. When we can make decisions all
• 23:05
  Speaker 5: on our own and don't even consult the Word, when
• 23:08
  Speaker 5: we are so prideful and independent of God. God will
• 23:12
  Speaker 5: never put us in a situation to where he's irrelevant.
• 23:16
  Speaker 5: We have to understand that God will not make himself irrelevant.
• 23:19
  Speaker 5: We are always going to need to depend on him.
• 23:22
  Speaker 5: We are always going to need to go to him.
• 23:24
  Speaker 5: We're always going to need to seek him and search
• 23:28
  Speaker 5: for him. And one of the ways we do so
• 23:31
  Speaker 5: is with his word. And I want to bring one
• 23:34
  Speaker 5: more point before we go to our break in this
• 23:38
  Speaker 5: passage of scripture, if I can found it, if I
• 23:45
  Speaker 5: found it, if I can find it, let me speak
• 23:48
  Speaker 5: here verse seven four. I earnestly exhorted your father's in
• 23:55
  Speaker 5: the day I brought them up out of the land
• 23:58
  Speaker 5: of Egypt. Until this day. Hey, here's my point, rising
• 24:02
  Speaker 5: early and exhorting, saying obey my voice. Yet they did
• 24:08
  Speaker 5: not obey or incline their ear, but everyone followed the
• 24:12
  Speaker 5: dictates of their evil hearts. Now, just a simple fact
• 24:17
  Speaker 5: that God said that he is rising early. That shows
• 24:21
  Speaker 5: that he's faithful. That shows that he's consistent, that he
• 24:27
  Speaker 5: did not let the nation go easily. He was faithfully
• 24:32
  Speaker 5: speaking to them, rising early, like he wanted to get
• 24:36
  Speaker 5: them at the start of the day. Before you do
• 24:39
  Speaker 5: anything else, obey my voice, paying attention to me, give
• 24:45
  Speaker 5: me your time, give me your attention, give me your heart,
• 24:49
  Speaker 5: and do he give that to him? When we rise
• 24:52
  Speaker 5: early in the morning, do we find him? Do we
• 24:56
  Speaker 5: seek him? Do we find him in a place of wisdom,
• 25:01
  Speaker 5: in a place of help, a place of nourishment, of covenant, blessing,
• 25:08
  Speaker 5: in a place of protection. Love it. We need to
• 25:14
  Speaker 5: hear his voice. Wow, he is speaking. Hey man, all right,
• 25:24
  Speaker 5: let's go to it right.
• 25:27

• 28:24
  Speaker 5: a huge shout out to those in a live chat.
• 28:26
  Speaker 5: Shout out to my brother's own three. Appreciate you, brother man.
• 28:30
  Speaker 5: We definitely got to pray after this podcast. You know,
• 28:32
  Speaker 5: we jump in here live at eleven every day Monday
• 28:37
  Speaker 5: through Saturday, check in with each other, and also through
• 28:42
  Speaker 5: the week we have phone calls. We agree in prayer,
• 28:47
  Speaker 5: and you know, we try to you know, we're trying
• 28:50
  Speaker 5: to walk it out. We're trying to really let this
• 28:52
  Speaker 5: thing out right. We don't just want to get on
• 28:53
  Speaker 5: here and tell y'all to do it and we're not
• 28:55
  Speaker 5: doing it right. So if you would like to join
• 28:58
  Speaker 5: us in one of the calls, let us know. In
• 29:00
  Speaker 5: a live chat, you know, we can actually create like
• 29:03
  Speaker 5: a conference number where people can call in or do
• 29:07
  Speaker 5: like a quick zoom or something like that. You know,
• 29:11
  Speaker 5: there's a possibility for all those scenes that happen. We
• 29:15
  Speaker 5: just need y'all to participate in it and everyone else
• 29:19
  Speaker 5: showing up in a live chat. We just want to
• 29:21
  Speaker 5: shout y'all out. We appreciate y'all. And now it's time
• 29:26
  Speaker 5: for the accountability partner segments and that's what we're talking
• 29:30
  Speaker 5: about in the live chat. We kind of help keep
• 29:34
  Speaker 5: each other accountable help each other stay on that narrow path.
• 29:38
  Speaker 5: So we give you daily challenges in a live chat
• 29:41
  Speaker 5: on what you need to do, call, text, or email
• 29:45
  Speaker 5: your accountability partner and just go over different questions topics.
• 29:51
  Speaker 5: And the point is to have integrity and to be
• 29:53
  Speaker 5: honest with ourselves. Right, They'll try to fluff it up
• 29:57
  Speaker 5: and make it seem like this is good when things
• 30:01
  Speaker 5: are not. No, let's talk about it, let's pray about it,
• 30:04
  Speaker 5: let's go through it. Hey man. So the question for
• 30:07
  Speaker 5: today is where are you walking in the imagination of
• 30:19
  Speaker 5: your evil heart? Like imagine, I mean i'd imagine, meditate
• 30:26
  Speaker 5: and examine is what I'm trying to say. Examine your heart.
• 30:30
  Speaker 5: Is there an evil imagination that you've obeyed, that you're
• 30:34
  Speaker 5: trying to walk and following a lie, a deception of
• 30:39
  Speaker 5: the enemy that is telling you that if you fulfill
• 30:42
  Speaker 5: this desire, you will be satisfied When no, like Mick
• 30:48
  Speaker 5: Jagger says, we get no sat of a faction, right,
• 30:52
  Speaker 5: no satisfaction in sin. And what's one area where you
• 30:59
  Speaker 5: know God has called you to obedience but you're choosing
• 31:04
  Speaker 5: your own way instead? What area? Just pick one out?
• 31:10
  Speaker 5: We all have one of those we all have an
• 31:12
  Speaker 5: area where God is calling us to be obedient to
• 31:16
  Speaker 5: him and we still struggle. Now do this. This is
• 31:20
  Speaker 5: your homework. Write it down. Write down that particular area,
• 31:25
  Speaker 5: that particular spot where you're struggling. Now, don't share it
• 31:35
  Speaker 5: if you're not ready to share it with your accountability
• 31:38
  Speaker 5: partner or anyone else. Just write it down. But you
• 31:42
  Speaker 5: gotta be honest like I said before, and then choose obedience.
• 31:50
  Speaker 5: Now that's the key. Just one area, just for one week.
• 31:58
  Speaker 5: See what happens when you align yourself with God's covenant
• 32:02
  Speaker 5: instead of breaking it. Just take baby steps. Let's start
• 32:07
  Speaker 5: training ourselves to be obedient to God's word and to
• 32:13
  Speaker 5: God's covenant. We also want to let you know that
• 32:19
  Speaker 5: His Hot Radio we are monitored in a reporting radio station.

  Speaker 5: Now it's time for trivia. Head over to the Life Chat.
• 32:53
  Speaker 5: Get your fingers ready because the first one to answer
• 32:56
  Speaker 5: correctly would be the trivia champ for today's shout out
• 33:00
  Speaker 5: to of course my brother zoom three. He's always killing
• 33:03
  Speaker 5: it on the trivia. Thank you, brother, very encouraging to
• 33:10
  Speaker 5: see you participate and show up faithfully.
• 33:12
  Speaker 6: Brother.
• 33:14
  Speaker 5: So the question for today is in Jeremiah chapter eleven,
• 33:23
  Speaker 5: verse four, God reference bringing the Israelites out of Egypt
• 33:29
  Speaker 5: from what is called the iron furnace, the iron furnace.
• 33:38
  Speaker 5: He called it the iron furnace. That's where he brought
• 33:40
  Speaker 5: them out of the question is what does this phrase
• 33:45
  Speaker 5: symbolize in scripture in this particular passage. What is God
• 33:52
  Speaker 5: symbolizing when he says the iron furnace? All right, posting
• 33:58
  Speaker 5: a live chat first one to post it wins bragging rights. Also,
• 34:09
  Speaker 5: I want to give a community shout out, a place
• 34:11
  Speaker 5: where we give updates and info about our events and
• 34:15
  Speaker 5: the things we got coming up. I just want to
• 34:17
  Speaker 5: tell you man that we were able to assist and
• 34:21
  Speaker 5: minister at the juvenile detention center this past Saturday, and
• 34:25
  Speaker 5: it was nothing short of amazing. You know, the juvenile
• 34:30
  Speaker 5: detention center. Of course, we cannot take videos or pictures.
• 34:34
  Speaker 5: You know, these are minor children, but they are incarcerated
• 34:39
  Speaker 5: for one reason or another. But the NBA chaplains they
• 34:45
  Speaker 5: travel with these pro football teams and the minister to
• 34:52
  Speaker 5: the pro players and when it comes to town, they
• 34:57
  Speaker 5: want to do something in Vegas to of on Vegas.
• 35:01
  Speaker 5: And I've been able to help them for the past
• 35:03
  Speaker 5: four years that they've come to town. And one year
• 35:10
  Speaker 5: they packed out the Chaparral High School Gymnasium. Uh, they
• 35:15
  Speaker 5: passed out groceries things like that. Also they go down
• 35:21
  Speaker 5: to the local local laundry map and they pay for
• 35:25
  Speaker 5: their customers to get you know, they get their laundry
• 35:29
  Speaker 5: done for free on that day. And I've been down
• 35:32
  Speaker 5: there to assist and to help them out. And so
• 35:34
  Speaker 5: we came and we rocked it out. We had two
• 35:37
  Speaker 5: artists come out, our brother Repent, Brother zoone wasn't able
• 35:41
  Speaker 5: to come this time, but our Brother Repent came and
• 35:45
  Speaker 5: Brother LaMonte came out ministered in music. Then the Chaplains
• 35:50
  Speaker 5: came and ministered to the children. And then retired pro
• 35:55
  Speaker 5: basketball player as well, and oh man Alan Houston, and
• 36:05
  Speaker 5: his name escaped me for a second. Alan Houston came
• 36:09
  Speaker 5: out to minister to the children. And you look him up.
• 36:13
  Speaker 5: He is a retired NBA player. We've had players come
• 36:18
  Speaker 5: through over the years to minister. We've had Kingdom Music
• 36:21
  Speaker 5: and Brian Trio come out one year and so yes,
• 36:25
  Speaker 5: this is definitely a movement that we've been blessed to
• 36:32
  Speaker 5: be a part of. And so we prayed at the
• 36:34
  Speaker 5: end and all that. So you subscribed to our newsletter
• 36:38

• 36:41
  Speaker 5: next event will be August twenty ninth at the Resort

  Speaker 5: World and we hope to see you there. Last, but
• 36:55
  Speaker 5: not least, our nonprofit organization is Hot Nation, Inc. That
• 37:01
  Speaker 5: we opened up a Christian hip hop club in Vegas
• 37:04
  Speaker 5: in twenty twelve. The first one, we took a five
• 37:08
  Speaker 5: thousand square foot warehouse, we made it into a venue.
• 37:12
  Speaker 5: We did live shows, theirs, we did events theirs there,
• 37:16
  Speaker 5: we ministered to the community there, and we're looking to
• 37:21
  Speaker 5: relaunch and reopened and we're looking to do this all
• 37:24
  Speaker 5: over again and hopefully your support. According to guys will,

  Speaker 5: Well that's my time. Belove it. But I'm not getting
• 38:24
  Speaker 5: out of here without some closing remarks and we're gonna
• 38:29
  Speaker 5: close out in prayer. So the covenant God made with
• 38:35
  Speaker 5: this people is still open. The question is whether. The
• 38:41
  Speaker 5: question is not whether God is faithful or not, because
• 38:46
  Speaker 5: God is a faithful God. The question is are you
• 38:50
  Speaker 5: Will you choose obedience? That is our part. It is
• 38:56
  Speaker 5: a conditional covenant. This is how we have our relationship
• 39:01
  Speaker 5: with God. This is how God relates to us. And
• 39:06
  Speaker 5: it's like that in all areas of life. It's based
• 39:09
  Speaker 5: on conditions. Is not automatic, right, So will we choose
• 39:17
  Speaker 5: to obey? Will you stop walking in the imagination of
• 39:23
  Speaker 5: your evil heart and align yourself with God's voice? Now
• 39:30
  Speaker 5: this week take the Accountability Partner challenge. Identify one area
• 39:34
  Speaker 5: where you need to choose obedience and do it. See
• 39:39
  Speaker 5: what happens when you step back into covenant with God.
• 39:46
  Speaker 5: And hey, if this episode bless you, share it, send
• 39:50
  Speaker 5: it to someone who needs to hear about covenant and obedience.
• 39:56
  Speaker 5: Let's spread the word together. We're gonna continue the book
• 40:01
  Speaker 5: of Jeremiah. We're gonna go deep into this, the consequences
• 40:05
  Speaker 5: of a broken covenant and the hope of restoration on
• 40:10
  Speaker 5: our next one. So we don't want you to miss it.
• 40:16
  Speaker 5: So we want you all to stay faithful, stay obedient,
• 40:19
  Speaker 5: stay locked into the His Hot radio podcast, and let's pray.
• 40:25
  Speaker 5: Eavenly Father, help us, oh Lord, to choose obedience. Help us,
• 40:29
  Speaker 5: O God, to keep all parts of the covenant. Lord,
• 40:34
  Speaker 5: let us not break covenant. Let us not break our
• 40:37
  Speaker 5: faithfulness to you. Let us not break our witness to you,
• 40:42
  Speaker 5: Oh God. Let us not allow our good to be
• 40:45
  Speaker 5: spoken evil love, Oh Lord, Father God. We ask, Oh God,
• 40:51
  Speaker 5: Oh Lord, for your mercies which are new every morning.
• 40:55
  Speaker 5: O God, that you forgive us, Lord, and we forgive
• 40:57
  Speaker 5: those who's wronged us. God, help us to come back
• 41:01
  Speaker 5: in alignment with your covenant. Whatever area of disobedience, so God,
• 41:07
  Speaker 5: that we have indulged ourselves in, help us, help us
• 41:11
  Speaker 5: to get delivered, Oh God, help us to bring obedience
• 41:14
  Speaker 5: in every area of our lives. Lord, we can't do
• 41:17
  Speaker 5: this without you, Lord, And we asked this in Jesus's
• 41:21
  Speaker 5: Mighty name a man, and remember it's not about us.
• 41:26
  Speaker 5: It's all about the Christ in us. God blessed.
