0:01
Speaker 1: You're listening to His Hop Radio, where faith, hope, and
0:04
Speaker 1: hip hop unite to glorify Jesus Christ. Broadcasting from Las
0:09
Speaker 1: Vegas to the world. This is verse by verse, studying
0:12
Speaker 1: God's word, one verse at a time. Now, let's tap
0:16
Speaker 1: in with your host, mister his.
0:19
Speaker 2: Hops of the Headquarters. Hello, gets hop, Los Vegas.
0:40
Speaker 3: Lost another one? Yo?
0:56
Speaker 4: Yo?
0:57
Speaker 5: What's up? What's up? What's Henning? Is your brother? This
1:00
Speaker 5: is his Hot and I want to say, welcome to
1:03
Speaker 5: another episode of his Hot radio podcast. This is verse
1:07
Speaker 5: by verse. Today we are continuing the Book of Jeremiah,
1:13
Speaker 5: chapter nineteen, picking up at verse four. We're gonna take
1:18
Speaker 5: that all the way to verse nine. Now, in the
1:21
Speaker 5: previous episode, we saw Jeremiah standing at the valley of
1:26
Speaker 5: the Son of him Men with a potter's earthen bottom.
1:34
Speaker 5: God was preparing to give Judah a very serious warning
1:39
Speaker 5: at this point. Now God explains why judgment was coming.
1:46
Speaker 5: He gives them the full explanation. The problem wasn't simply
1:52
Speaker 5: that Judah had made a few mistakes. They had forsaken
2:00
Speaker 5: God all together. They polluted the land with a dollar tree.
2:04
Speaker 5: They rejected his commandments and committed practices that were completely
2:12
Speaker 5: contrary to his will. They were killing and sacrificing babies
2:18
Speaker 5: to the idle ball bow worship. Now Guy uses broken
2:26
Speaker 5: bottle as a picture of what was about to happen.
2:32
Speaker 5: So today's lesson is a serious one. What happens when
2:39
Speaker 5: people repeatedly reject Guy's warnings and refuse to turn back
2:46
Speaker 5: to him. So that's what we're going to look at.
2:51
Speaker 5: That is the question we're going to answer today in
2:54
Speaker 5: today's episode. But also I want to invite you to
2:59
Speaker 5: join us in a life chat. This is our online community,
3:04
Speaker 5: our radio community. We want to call it our small group.
3:08
Speaker 5: This is the time we gather. We come together, We
3:11
Speaker 5: pray for each other, we hold each other accountable. We
3:15
Speaker 5: need some healthy friends that will help us to keep
3:20
Speaker 5: our hearts right with God. Sometimes it's you know, the
3:24
Speaker 5: Bible says our heart is even and desperately wicked. Who
3:28
Speaker 5: can know it? So it's good to have somebody we
3:31
Speaker 5: can go to and say, you know what that is
3:34
Speaker 5: not in the word, That is your flesh, or that
3:37
Speaker 5: is the world that is trying to influence you, or
3:40
Speaker 5: even the enemy itself is trying to set up shop
3:45
Speaker 5: in your life. And somebody from the outside looking in
3:49
Speaker 5: can actually help and pray for you. That's how we
3:54
Speaker 5: stay strong in numbers. You know, when the lion goes
3:57
Speaker 5: out to hunt, they don't try to take on the
4:00
Speaker 5: whole pack. They look for the stragglers. They look for
4:04
Speaker 5: the ones who stray away. And so when we stay
4:07
Speaker 5: in fellowship, it helps us even the more. Amen. So
4:15
Speaker 5: let's go before Father and prayer Heavenly Father, thank you
4:18
Speaker 5: Father for another opportunity, Father God, to come before you.
4:24
Speaker 5: Thank you for your grace, thank you for your mercy,
4:28
Speaker 5: thank you for your goodness. Thank you, Father God for
4:32
Speaker 5: your love. We ask Lord that you will bless us
4:35
Speaker 5: in the podcast today. We ask Father, God that you
4:38
Speaker 5: will bless those who will hear and tune in those
4:42
Speaker 5: who have been faithful. Oh God, Lord, to show up
4:45
Speaker 5: and to support. We thank you for each and every
4:49
Speaker 5: brother and sister. Old God. We ask or that you
4:51
Speaker 5: use this podcast, Oh Lord, to leave the ninety nine
4:55
Speaker 5: and to go after the one. Yes, Lord, let this
4:59
Speaker 5: podcast as reach all over the world, though God places
5:05
Speaker 5: we may not be able to physically go. Lord, we
5:08
Speaker 5: send this podcast out as we lift up the mighty
5:12
Speaker 5: name of Jesus, and guys. People said, Amen and Amen,
5:22
Speaker 5: all right, well, let's dive right in. So let's look
5:28
Speaker 5: at verse four together. And I'm going back and forth
5:32
Speaker 5: from the new King James and the old King James.
5:36
Speaker 5: So stick with me on this. So verse four says,
5:42
Speaker 5: because they have forsaken me and made this an alien place,
5:50
Speaker 5: because they have burned incense in it to other gods
5:55
Speaker 5: who neither they nor their fathers nor the King of
6:00
Speaker 5: Judah have known and have filled this place with the
6:04
Speaker 5: blood of the innocence. Wow, let's break this down, man.
6:13
Speaker 5: This is a huge case against Judah at this time,
6:18
Speaker 5: because they have forsaken me. Now, look at what happens
6:22
Speaker 5: when we forsake God is just by default darkness moves in.
6:28
Speaker 5: Look at what is happening to our country. We need
6:31
Speaker 5: to wake up and wake up right now to the
6:36
Speaker 5: darkness that is creeping on our land, and not only creeping,
6:41
Speaker 5: the darkness that is already here. Hey man, Now God
6:47
Speaker 5: begins by explaining why this judgment is coming. He says,
6:52
Speaker 5: because they have forsaken me. That's the root problem right there.
7:00
Speaker 3: Now.
7:00
Speaker 5: They didn't merely just break a few rules or anything
7:04
Speaker 5: like that. They walked completely away from God. They turned
7:11
Speaker 5: to other guys and polluted the place where they were
7:15
Speaker 5: supposed to worship the Lord, where the Lord has placed
7:18
Speaker 5: his name. Now, Judas problem was fundamentally spiritual. Their outward
7:28
Speaker 5: actions reflected and inWORD, rejection of God himself. That we
7:35
Speaker 5: could see that. That's why the Bible tells us that
7:38
Speaker 5: we could tell by their fruit. Our outward lifestyle is
7:44
Speaker 5: an indication of what's going on inside our hearts. That
7:48
Speaker 5: we find ourselves watching pornography or sleeping around, well, there's
7:54
Speaker 5: lust in our hearts. That's what's happening inside of us. Now,
8:01
Speaker 5: they had abandoned the Lord and replaced worship of him
8:05
Speaker 5: with idolatrous practices. Now, this is something we need to
8:15
Speaker 5: really understand here. Sin isn't merely breaking a rule here
8:20
Speaker 5: or there. It is on the deepest level, Sin is
8:27
Speaker 5: I choose my way instead of God's way. Let me
8:33
Speaker 5: say this again. Sin at his deepest, deepest level is
8:41
Speaker 5: basically I choose my way instead of God's way. Basically,
8:46
Speaker 5: you're making yourself your own God. It's idolatry, and that
8:54
Speaker 5: is what makes it so serious. God wasn't just upset
8:59
Speaker 5: because you had broken regulations and rules and things like that.
9:06
Speaker 5: He was dealing with a relationship that had been abandoned.
9:14
Speaker 5: And we need to ask ourselves. Have I allowed anything
9:19
Speaker 5: to become more important to me than God? Have I
9:26
Speaker 5: allowed anything? It could be bills, It could be relationships.
9:31
Speaker 5: It could be your spouse, It could be your children.
9:35
Speaker 5: It can be problems, It could be good things. It
9:37
Speaker 5: could be ministry, it could be church. It could be
9:41
Speaker 5: this podcast. It could be anything that is more important
9:47
Speaker 5: to you than God can potentially become an idol, all right?
9:58
Speaker 5: Verse five. They have also built the high places of
10:04
Speaker 5: Bao to burn their suns with fire for burnt offerings
10:11
Speaker 5: to Bow, which I did not command, nor speak, nor
10:16
Speaker 5: did it come into my mind. Now, this is God Almighty,
10:22
Speaker 5: and God cannot lie. How in the world could something
10:27
Speaker 5: exist that never came into God's mind that versus all
10:31
Speaker 5: It has always blown me away. It's like something outside
10:37
Speaker 5: of the mind of God came into existence that that
10:42
Speaker 5: just that just blows me away, right, all right. So
10:49
Speaker 5: they've built also the high places to bow. Now, God
10:58
Speaker 5: says Judah had built high places for bow to burn
11:03
Speaker 5: their children as offerings. This is what I've been mentioning,
11:10
Speaker 5: This is what I've been saying. Now we as America,
11:15
Speaker 5: we may be more sophisticated than this. Look at the
11:19
Speaker 5: abortion rate, look at who we are sacrificing our children
11:27
Speaker 5: up to Satan's agenda has never changed. Why would you
11:32
Speaker 5: want to kill children at the altar? This is one
11:41
Speaker 5: of the darkest practices described in the Old Testament. They
11:46
Speaker 5: had taken something God created for life and turned it
11:51
Speaker 5: into an act of worship towards a false God. Could
11:58
Speaker 5: you imagine? I can't even imagine. And what I've heard
12:02
Speaker 5: what was described about this particular practice is that they
12:09
Speaker 5: would have an idol of ball, and his arms would
12:13
Speaker 5: be stretched out and his hands would be turned up upwards,
12:19
Speaker 5: and they would keep this thing to where it was
12:22
Speaker 5: glowing hot, and they would put their children on this thing,
12:27
Speaker 5: burn them to death. And they would play drums so
12:31
Speaker 5: loud to where the drums would drown out the cry
12:34
Speaker 5: of the child. Who knows the age I'm hoping at
12:40
Speaker 5: least like young enough to where they don't know what's
12:44
Speaker 5: going on, right, at least that much. I can't imagine
12:50
Speaker 5: a toddler or someone who is conscious of the situation.
12:54
Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying that that is despicable. This
12:58
Speaker 5: is say and beloved, this is what happens when we
13:03
Speaker 5: choose to worship demons. The crews a lot of the crimes,
13:10
Speaker 5: the heinous crimes in society. A lot of police departments
13:15
Speaker 5: find satanic worship behind it. They find rituals, they find
13:23
Speaker 5: satanic paraphernalia when they investigate. It is very demonic and cruel.
13:31
Speaker 5: Satan and his demons hate humanity, and you have to
13:36
Speaker 5: be demonized in order to do some of these things
13:40
Speaker 5: that is done in our society. You just have to
13:44
Speaker 5: be cold hearted and just not care at all.
13:49
Speaker 3: It looks like you lost another one.
13:54
Speaker 5: Now this shows you how far ideology can take people.
14:00
Speaker 5: Now it really starts with I'm going to completely abandon God.
14:04
Speaker 5: It starts with a little compromise here and there, one step,
14:09
Speaker 5: and another step, then another. Eventually people can become comfortable
14:15
Speaker 5: with things they once would have recognized completely wrong. Anybody
14:22
Speaker 5: in the right mind would know that it is wrong
14:25
Speaker 5: to sacrifice a child to a demon. Right, But it's
14:36
Speaker 5: a progress here and there's the Bible says that evil
14:43
Speaker 5: men will grow worse and worse. We never you notice that,
14:47
Speaker 5: we never stay where we started to speak of the
14:51
Speaker 5: drug addict or the alcoholic. It may have started out
14:55
Speaker 5: something fun, maybe in high school, hanging out with friends,
15:01
Speaker 5: casual social situation, and then look twenty years later, they're homeless,
15:11
Speaker 5: they can't hold a job. Some of them have destroyed
15:15
Speaker 5: their families, their children, life just completely destroyed. They didn't
15:20
Speaker 5: start off that way. And if you talk to most
15:22
Speaker 5: people and tell them like, hey, this is where you're
15:26
Speaker 5: going to end up, they probably would not have taken
15:29
Speaker 5: that drug or drink that alcohol. Now. Also, it's supposed
15:40
Speaker 5: to be the same way spiritually. You're supposed to be
15:42
Speaker 5: closer to God more now than the day that you
15:46
Speaker 5: received them in your life. You're supposed to progressively grow
15:51
Speaker 5: stronger and stronger in the spirit. But of course these
15:58
Speaker 5: are based on our daily decisions and our daily disciplines. Amen.
16:05
Speaker 5: That's why I encourage everyone to come on the podcast
16:08
Speaker 5: every day at eleven. That helps develop your spiritual discipline.
16:14
Speaker 5: You're constantly getting the word. Now. We're not to replace
16:17
Speaker 5: your devotional time and your intimacy with God, but we
16:21
Speaker 5: are here as an aid to help you with that. Now,
16:28
Speaker 5: that's why we have to deal with compromise early. Don't
16:32
Speaker 5: let a small compromise become a stronghold in our lives. Amen,
16:39
Speaker 5: and I'm speaking to myself too. Hallelujah. Now, in verse five,
16:50
Speaker 5: it says which I committed not? God makes something very
16:56
Speaker 5: clear in this verse. The practices were commanded by him
17:01
Speaker 5: at all. They were completely contrary to His will. That's
17:13
Speaker 5: important because people sometimes confuse religious activity with obedience to God.
17:21
Speaker 5: Just because something is called religious doesn't mean God approves
17:25
Speaker 5: of it. The question is does this feel spiritual? I mean,
17:36
Speaker 5: excuse me. The question is not does this feel spiritual?
17:39
Speaker 5: The question is does this agree with the word of God.
17:46
Speaker 5: We have to measure everything against the scripture Amen. Verse six. Therefore, behold,
17:56
Speaker 5: the days are coming, says the Lord, that this place
17:59
Speaker 5: sh no more be called Top Top fact or the
18:06
Speaker 5: valley of the Son of him men, but the Valley
18:11
Speaker 5: of Slaughter. Woo man. That's serious. When God renamed something,
18:19
Speaker 5: there's always a meaning behind it. Valley of Slaughter. God says,
18:25
Speaker 5: the day is coming when the place will no longer
18:29
Speaker 5: be called by its former name. It will be called
18:34
Speaker 5: the valley of slaughter. Now that is a devastating change
18:43
Speaker 5: of names, right, I mean, at that point it's time
18:47
Speaker 5: to pack your bags and move out of this valley.
18:50
Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying. The very location that had
18:54
Speaker 5: become associated with rebellion would become associated with judgments that
19:06
Speaker 5: that is a sobering principle here. Our choices leave a mark.
19:14
Speaker 5: Places can very well carry memories, right, and also families
19:25
Speaker 5: can carry consequences. Communities can carry consequences, and sometimes the
19:32
Speaker 5: consequences of our decisions reach much further than we've expected
19:38
Speaker 5: them to. That's why wisdom matters because making a decision.
19:47
Speaker 5: Before you make a decision, ask where could this lead?
19:52
Speaker 5: Not just what do I want right now? We have
19:57
Speaker 5: to think about what direction is my life gonna go
20:03
Speaker 5: if I choose to make this decision. And that's why
20:08
Speaker 5: I love to tell young people read the Book of Proverbs.
20:11
Speaker 5: The Book of Proverbs will give you daily wisdom. You
20:18
Speaker 5: have to follow the path of righteousness. If we intend
20:23
Speaker 5: to live a life eternal with God. Amen, all right?
20:31
Speaker 5: Verse seven. And I will make void the counsels of
20:40
Speaker 5: Judah and Jerusalem in this place, and I will cause
20:45
Speaker 5: them to fall by the sword before their enemies, and
20:49
Speaker 5: by the hands of those who seek their lives their corpses.
20:55
Speaker 5: I will give as meat for the birds of the
20:59
Speaker 5: heaven and for the beast of the earth. While it
21:05
Speaker 5: does not pay to rebel against God. God would bring
21:10
Speaker 5: their plans to nothing. God says that he will make
21:14
Speaker 5: the counsel of Judah and Jerusalem ineffective. Right, the plans
21:22
Speaker 5: they have thought would protect them would not save them
21:27
Speaker 5: at all. Now they would fall by the sword. Their
21:32
Speaker 5: bodies would become food for the birds. How many times
21:37
Speaker 5: has God repeated this in his book? Told them over
21:41
Speaker 5: and over again, this is severe judgment. This is what
21:49
Speaker 5: it looks like to walk away from God. Now Juda
21:54
Speaker 5: repeatedly ignored God's warnings, and the consequences would now affect
22:02
Speaker 5: the way. The very security they believed in would be
22:12
Speaker 5: taken away from them. And there's something I also want
22:19
Speaker 5: to bring out. There's something that we can learn here.
22:27
Speaker 5: Don't build your security on something God never promised to
22:32
Speaker 5: protect you with, or God never promised to protect. Money
22:37
Speaker 5: can't guarantee your future. A position can't guarantee your future.
22:45
Speaker 5: People can't guarantee your future. A political system can't guarantee
22:51
Speaker 5: your future. Only God is ultimately trustworthy, is the only
23:00
Speaker 5: one we could put our trust in.
23:05
Speaker 3: It looks like you lost another one, all right.
23:07
Speaker 5: Verse eight. I will make the city desolate and a hissing.
23:17
Speaker 5: Everyone who passes by it will be astonished and hiss
23:22
Speaker 5: because of all its plagues, now making it a hissing
23:32
Speaker 5: a desolate city. God says that he will make Jerusalem desolate,
23:38
Speaker 5: and also in astonishment. Everyone passing by will be shocked
23:44
Speaker 5: by what happened in this place. Now do you want
23:48
Speaker 5: that to happen to us? Do we want that to
23:52
Speaker 5: happen here? In the United States? The city that once
23:57
Speaker 5: represented God's people would become and testimony of what happens
24:03
Speaker 5: when people continually reject him. Now this isn't just about destruction,
24:14
Speaker 5: It's about testimony. People would look at what happened and
24:19
Speaker 5: ask how did it get this bad? And the answer
24:26
Speaker 5: was years of rejecting God's warning. That's why we should
24:33
Speaker 5: never ignore the little warnings that God gives us. Sometimes
24:38
Speaker 5: we're waiting for some huge sign from heaven, while God
24:43
Speaker 5: is already speaking through his word. All right, God has
24:48
Speaker 5: already put the principles in place. God has already warned us,
24:58
Speaker 5: all right, verse nine, And I will cause them to
25:01
Speaker 5: eat the flesh of their sons, in the flesh of
25:05
Speaker 5: their daughters. Now this is disgusting, and everyone shall eat
25:11
Speaker 5: the flesh of his friend in the siege and in
25:16
Speaker 5: the then in this version with which their enemies and
25:25
Speaker 5: those who seek their lives shall drive them to despair,
25:32
Speaker 5: they will be driven to despair. Now, I don't know,
25:35
Speaker 5: this is like one of the most disgusting scriptures I've
25:40
Speaker 5: read in the Bible. And this is pretty serious. This
25:44
Speaker 5: is like, these are terrible consequences. Verse nine describes an
25:49
Speaker 5: extreme siege in which the people would become desperate for food. Basically,
25:57
Speaker 5: the situation will becomes so horrific that people would turn
26:02
Speaker 5: against one another. This is a consequence of Jerusalem being
26:08
Speaker 5: surrounded and brought to the point of starvation. Now, when
26:14
Speaker 5: they would siege a city back then in those days,
26:19
Speaker 5: they would cut off their supply. They would surround the city,
26:25
Speaker 5: the army would surround the city, and they was trying
26:28
Speaker 5: to stop their water supply. They would try to stop
26:30
Speaker 5: food from coming in, stop them from trading going in
26:36
Speaker 5: and out, and they would basically starve to death. Back then,
26:42
Speaker 5: they didn't have refrigerators or anything like that, and they
26:47
Speaker 5: would get so hungry to they would turn into cannibals.
26:52
Speaker 5: I mean, this is difficult to read, but that's exactly
26:58
Speaker 5: why we should and skip over it right. We need
27:01
Speaker 5: to understand this. The Bible doesn't hide the consequences of rebellion.
27:08
Speaker 5: It shows us where persistent rejection of God will lead.
27:16
Speaker 5: We should read this and say that's just and I
27:21
Speaker 5: mean we shouldn't read it and just say that's just
27:23
Speaker 5: an old Testament story. We should ask what can I
27:27
Speaker 5: learn from this? Now? The lesson is it that God
27:32
Speaker 5: wants people destroyed. The lesson is that sin has consequences,
27:41
Speaker 5: and God's warnings should take should be taken seriously. When
27:47
Speaker 5: God warns us, when God gives us a warning, or
27:54
Speaker 5: when God is instructing, God is telling us change a
27:58
Speaker 5: certain area of our lives, we need to take that serious.
28:03
Speaker 5: Can you imagine there are newborn babies being birth daily
28:12
Speaker 5: in our country? Could you imagine getting so desperate to
28:19
Speaker 5: where you eat that child. We can't look away from this,
28:24
Speaker 5: We can't. How many let me ask you this? Let
28:27
Speaker 5: me know in the comments. And by the way, we
28:30
Speaker 5: have a new community on the hiss Hot radio app,
28:34
Speaker 5: and we're gonna jump over there today when we do
28:38
Speaker 5: the trivia challenge and all that. It's all on the app.
28:42
Speaker 5: Go to the top left me and you drop down
28:44
Speaker 5: to community and we're gonna try this one out. We've
28:46
Speaker 5: tried a couple of communities. I didn't really like the
28:51
Speaker 5: other two we tried. But this is a new platform today.
28:54
Speaker 5: Just to let y'all know. But let me know in
28:57
Speaker 5: the comments. How many have you have gone to church
29:01
Speaker 5: and heard a sermon where the pastor is preaching about
29:07
Speaker 5: this topic where parents or eating their own children. I
29:13
Speaker 5: don't think you're going to hear that. A lot of
29:16
Speaker 5: pastors try to avoid or stay away from scriptures like these,
29:22
Speaker 5: but we have to read them and look at them
29:24
Speaker 5: because we have to understand and have a healthy fear
29:30
Speaker 5: of God. It's through the fear of the Lord that
29:33
Speaker 5: men depart from evil. We need to know God's character
29:39
Speaker 5: and know that God does not play. The Bible says
29:43
Speaker 5: that every man will be judged according to their works.
29:47
Speaker 5: The Bible says that hell is so organized to where
29:50
Speaker 5: your punishment is going to be directly linked to your sin.
29:57
Speaker 5: I've heard testimonies of people there's like a sexual department
30:03
Speaker 5: where people who are sexually a moral immoral in life,
30:06
Speaker 5: where demons are like raping them in and they're talking
30:09
Speaker 5: about every hole that you could possibly have. These demons
30:13
Speaker 5: are just raping people, people who are homoseexual, Like there's
30:18
Speaker 5: men they're being bent over and they're being burnt in flames,
30:26
Speaker 5: and these demons are in the back. Okay, I mean,
30:30
Speaker 5: I'm gonna try to keep it PG, but we have
30:33
Speaker 5: to we have to understand. God says he will judge
30:37
Speaker 5: every man according to their works. We need to examine
30:42
Speaker 5: our works. There's a department there that says that gossiping, right,
30:49
Speaker 5: that these demons are pulling people's tongues so long because
30:54
Speaker 5: you have a spiritual body, right, and they have like
30:58
Speaker 5: nails and they're just hammering nails into their tongues. In
31:02
Speaker 5: his one testimony, this guy said that this demon was
31:06
Speaker 5: even trying to hit the nail. He was just hitting,
31:09
Speaker 5: breaking teeth and skulls, like just hitting the mess out
31:12
Speaker 5: of this other woman because she was a gossiper. Beloved,
31:21
Speaker 5: God does not play when he says, don't do it,
31:24
Speaker 5: don't do it. I was in a situation the other
31:29
Speaker 5: day when these guys were talking about this particular guy
31:34
Speaker 5: and he was supposed to do a project and he
31:39
Speaker 5: didn't do it well, and they're asking me, you know,
31:43
Speaker 5: my opinion of his work, and I was like, well,
31:45
Speaker 5: you know what. I'm not going to comment. I'm gonna
31:47
Speaker 5: hold my comments. I look at it like this, I'm
31:50
Speaker 5: not allowed to gossip. I'm not allowed to. I mean, yeah,
31:55
Speaker 5: there's nothing wrong with going to the person and saying
31:57
Speaker 5: you need to correct this or this could have been
31:59
Speaker 5: done better. But to sit around and mock and make
32:03
Speaker 5: fun and things like that, that's a no no. So
32:13
Speaker 5: don't ignore God's warning. Jeremiah nineteen four through nine gives
32:19
Speaker 5: us several important lessons here. Don't forsake God. Stay close
32:25
Speaker 5: to him as possible. Amen. Don't allow idols into your life.
32:33
Speaker 5: Anything can become an idole if it takes God's rightful
32:37
Speaker 5: place in our hearts. And don't normalize compromise or starts
32:45
Speaker 5: small can become destructive in the end. Listen when God
32:51
Speaker 5: corrects you. Correction is an opportunity. Correction is compassion. Reaction
33:00
Speaker 5: is God loving us. Amen, don't assume God's patience means
33:08
Speaker 5: he's approving your behavior. His patience gives us time to
33:15
Speaker 5: repent to get things right. A man, remember that choices
33:22
Speaker 5: has have consequences. I think beyond the moment. Don't just
33:30
Speaker 5: think of your immediate gratification. How you might feel or
33:35
Speaker 5: what you're looking for. You need to learn to deny
33:39
Speaker 5: ourselves and to put ourselves on the cross so that
33:48
Speaker 5: we can have a relationship with God. Amen. All right,
33:52
Speaker 5: time for a break.

Speaker 5: let me know which one that you are rocking with
40:14
Speaker 5: the most. All right, so, how is time for the
40:19
Speaker 5: Accountability Partner. And that's me asking for accountability for these
40:24
Speaker 5: communities that we're in. So the Accountability Partner this week's
40:30
Speaker 5: challenges ask your accountability partner, what is one thing in
40:35
Speaker 5: my life that can become an idle if I'm not careful?
40:42
Speaker 5: What is one thing in my life that can become
40:46
Speaker 5: an idle if I'm not careful. I've been listen carefully right,
41:00
Speaker 5: and you know, don't be defensive and whatever you hear,
41:04
Speaker 5: pray about the answer. Sometimes somebody else can see something
41:09
Speaker 5: that we're too close to recognize. And also, if you
41:15
Speaker 5: want to go further with that, on the app His
41:19
Speaker 5: Hot Radio, go to the top left menu this time
41:23
Speaker 5: click on podcasts and click on his Hot Radio podcast
41:26
Speaker 5: Yours Truly, and then scroll down until you find a
41:30
Speaker 5: link that says Accountability Partner. And on that link go
41:35
Speaker 5: over the questions, some very good questions that we could
41:40
Speaker 5: use to examine ourselves. And also what we want you
41:45
Speaker 5: to do is once you go over the questions, you know,
41:50
Speaker 5: you can request to follow up. You can request that
41:54
Speaker 5: somebody would follow up with you. Somebody can come and
41:58
Speaker 5: pray with you, and somebody can help you with your
42:05
Speaker 5: walk with the Lord. Amen. Also, we want to let

Speaker 5: the charts as well. There are three different charts that

Speaker 5: we report to that. We do have a media Base account,
42:39
Speaker 5: but we're having issues with that. I know media Base
42:43
Speaker 5: is like the big charts. We do have an account
42:47
Speaker 5: with them, but we've been working with some issues, so
42:51

Speaker 5: new community page. Hopefully I give you enough time to

Speaker 5: log in today, so we're going to try it. And
43:29
Speaker 5: the good thing is that we can always go back
43:31
Speaker 5: to the life chat if these other communities, you know
43:36
Speaker 5: what I'm saying, if we're not feeling them. But so,
43:40
Speaker 5: here is a trivia challenge for today. The scripture reference
43:46
Speaker 5: is Jeremiah nineteen, verse five. Read it carefully, then answer
43:52
Speaker 5: this question, which false God did the people of Judah
43:56
Speaker 5: build high places for? And what horrific practice does his
44:02
Speaker 5: verse say that they carried out in those places? Let
44:09
Speaker 5: me ask you again, which false God did the people
44:12
Speaker 5: of Judah build high places for? And what horrific practice
44:18
Speaker 5: does his verse say they carried out there? In those places.
44:26
Speaker 5: First to post the answer is the trivia champion for today. Also,
44:38
Speaker 5: we want to give a community shout out this weekend.
44:47
Speaker 5: We will be at the Resort World. We will be
44:49
Speaker 5: on the strip, we will provide music. The Mayor of
44:54
Speaker 5: North Falls, Vegas is going to be there, and the
44:57
Speaker 5: guy who is over all the libraries in the country
45:02
Speaker 5: will be there as well. It's how radio will be
45:06
Speaker 5: in the house and it's pre It is open to
45:10
Speaker 5: the public. It is a business mixer. We want to
45:12
Speaker 5: invite everyone to come to it. I've been announcing it
45:17
Speaker 5: for a while now on the podcast. So if you
45:23
Speaker 5: don't live in Vegas, hopefully you had enough time to
45:25
Speaker 5: book a flight or catch the bus out here to Vegas,
45:29
Speaker 5: so you can come. Definitely, if you're in Vegas, you
45:33
Speaker 5: need to be here. You need to be in the spots.
45:36
Speaker 5: It is a great place to network. And we have
45:43
Speaker 5: other events coming up. September twelfth, we will be at Doolittle.
45:49
Speaker 5: I have to put all this stuff on the flyer.
45:52
Speaker 5: Excuse me, because these events are popping up, so our
45:56
Speaker 5: calendar is not up to date with all these events.
46:00
Speaker 5: But we're going to get it up to date and
46:02
Speaker 5: we're going to tell you to head on over to
46:03
Speaker 5: the his hopmation dot com website to check out all
46:09
Speaker 5: the activities there and also on the app, there is
46:13
Speaker 5: a tab that says events. You can also access our
46:17
Speaker 5: calendar through that as well. And we like to remind
46:26
Speaker 5: everyone that his High Nation is a nonprofit organization. We
46:30
Speaker 5: are a five oh one c three. We opened up
46:34
Speaker 5: a club in twenty twelve at five thousand square foot
46:38
Speaker 5: the warehouse. We turned it into a Christian hip hop club.
46:42
Speaker 5: We've had people travel over the years all over the country.
46:48
Speaker 5: We were able to minister and bless people with the location,
46:53
Speaker 5: bless our community. But we have become a nonprofit so
46:58
Speaker 5: that we could get help support from our community so
47:02
Speaker 5: that we can relaunch or reopen. And we need a
47:04
Speaker 5: new facility and not only that, we need our headquarters
47:11
Speaker 5: for our youth programs and other things that we want
47:14
Speaker 5: to do to bless the community. So if you would
47:18
Speaker 5: like to support us in that, please send go over
47:23
Speaker 5: to our website his Hopnation dot com. You can support
47:27
Speaker 5: us there, You can support us on the app, and
47:30
Speaker 5: then you can go to our nonprofit website, hiss Hop
47:33
Speaker 5: Nation dot org. You can get more information on our
47:38
Speaker 5: youth programs there as well. And the great thing about it,
47:43
Speaker 5: it is a tax right off to you. Sometimes that
47:47
Speaker 5: makes a difference between own taxes in getting a return check,
47:52
Speaker 5: right is we need to get enough deductions, enough write offs,
47:57
Speaker 5: or you can sew into good ground right here, right
48:01
Speaker 5: now with his hot nation. I love it well. That
48:11
Speaker 5: is my time today, and I think I went over
48:17
Speaker 5: pretty thoroughly, So I don't think that there's a need
48:22
Speaker 5: for closing remarks. I think we get the picture about
48:26
Speaker 5: this chapter. Is not good to rebel and walk away
48:31
Speaker 5: from God. Amen. So let there be a healthy fear
48:35
Speaker 5: of God in our hearts and in our minds. Is
48:37
Speaker 5: through the fear of the Lord may depart from evil.
48:42
Speaker 5: And also the love of God is what's going to
48:45
Speaker 5: draw us sin. There's a healthy balance, you know. I
48:47
Speaker 5: just don't want us to be terrified of God, but
48:51
Speaker 5: to know that God loves us and the perfect love
48:53
Speaker 5: cast out fear. We were created for His purposes to
48:59
Speaker 5: have a relatelationship with Him. We need to answer the call. Amen.
49:04
Speaker 5: I'm your brother, mister his hop and remember it's not
49:07
Speaker 5: about us, It's all about the Christ in us. God.
