00:00:00.810 --> 00:00:03.300
This program is made
possible by the giving
2
00:00:03.300 --> 00:00:06.210
of the God called partners
of Renner Ministries.
3
00:00:07.290 --> 00:00:09.930
Hello friend. My name is Denise Renner
4
00:00:09.930 --> 00:00:13.200
and I wanna welcome you to my program.
5
00:00:13.200 --> 00:00:16.800
I'm talking to you today on
this program about something
6
00:00:16.800 --> 00:00:21.000
very important and that is
about the fragrance that you
7
00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:22.440
and I carry.
8
00:00:22.440 --> 00:00:25.170
Did you know that you carry a fragrance?
9
00:00:26.070 --> 00:00:28.980
The Bible says to be living sacrifices. Well,
10
00:00:28.980 --> 00:00:32.970
sacrifices always give a fragrance?
11
00:00:32.970 --> 00:00:35.910
And that's what I wanna
talk to you about today,
12
00:00:35.910 --> 00:00:39.660
the sweet fragrance that comes from you
13
00:00:39.660 --> 00:00:41.430
and goes to God.
14
00:00:42.300 --> 00:00:45.930
Now, if you need prayer, please let us know how we can pray
15
00:00:45.930 --> 00:00:50.850
for you because we are waiting
for your phone call, call
16
00:00:50.850 --> 00:00:53.190
or your email.
17
00:00:53.190 --> 00:00:56.700
It is a privilege to serve you. Thank you.
18
00:00:56.700 --> 00:01:00.390
When you connect with us, we love you.
19
00:01:00.390 --> 00:01:03.030
And if God's doing something
special in your life,
20
00:01:03.030 --> 00:01:05.010
please let us know about that.
21
00:01:05.010 --> 00:01:09.510
But I wanna offer you
the video series of these
22
00:01:09.510 --> 00:01:13.560
of these programs, How to be Imitators
23
00:01:13.560 --> 00:01:17.430
of God and also it comes with a study guide.
24
00:01:19.080 --> 00:01:21.840
Now, if you have not gotten my book,
25
00:01:23.730 --> 00:01:28.730
Jesus Is Your Healer, yet, I would encourage you to get it
26
00:01:28.950 --> 00:01:33.300
because I just heard an amazing testimony just last week.
27
00:01:33.300 --> 00:01:36.990
A woman came to me and she
had been reading my book
28
00:01:36.990 --> 00:01:38.070
and studying it,
29
00:01:38.070 --> 00:01:41.640
and she had a disease in her body that
30
00:01:42.930 --> 00:01:45.180
was actually something
wrong with their mind,
31
00:01:45.180 --> 00:01:47.700
but it was starting to cripple her body
32
00:01:47.700 --> 00:01:51.120
and the doctors told her that
they couldn't do anything for,
33
00:01:51.120 --> 00:01:55.950
and she started reading my
book, Jesus Is Your Healer.
34
00:01:55.950 --> 00:01:57.690
And she said this to me.
35
00:01:57.690 --> 00:02:02.580
She said, I understood for the first time
36
00:02:02.580 --> 00:02:07.580
that Jesus is my healer.
37
00:02:08.220 --> 00:02:13.220
And she began to meditate on
that truth that's in this book
38
00:02:13.650 --> 00:02:16.110
and in the word of God, of course.
39
00:02:16.950 --> 00:02:20.820
And she found that her body
started working better.
40
00:02:20.820 --> 00:02:24.750
She had already had many
problems, even walking.
41
00:02:24.750 --> 00:02:29.640
And as she meditated on
God's truth about Jesus being
42
00:02:29.640 --> 00:02:34.440
her healer, she told me that
not only is she walking,
43
00:02:34.440 --> 00:02:36.450
well, she's running.
44
00:02:36.450 --> 00:02:39.690
So I want you to have that
book, but stay with me
45
00:02:39.690 --> 00:02:43.830
because we are going to talk about How
46
00:02:43.830 --> 00:02:45.960
to be Imitators of God.
47
00:02:47.460 --> 00:02:51.390
It's time for big miracles
and changes in your life.
48
00:02:52.320 --> 00:02:53.580
Join Denise Renner
49
00:02:53.580 --> 00:02:57.210
and dive into the study of
God's word which has great power
50
00:02:57.210 --> 00:03:01.270
to strengthen faith, inspire,
change, heal physically
51
00:03:01.270 --> 00:03:04.720
and spiritually, and most importantly help you learn about
52
00:03:04.720 --> 00:03:07.000
the power of Christ Jesus living in you.
53
00:03:08.140 --> 00:03:10.150
It's time with Denise Renner.
54
00:03:12.880 --> 00:03:17.830
Ephesians 5:1 says, Be
55
00:03:17.830 --> 00:03:22.000
therefore imitators of God as dear children.
56
00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:24.280
And then the next verse says,
57
00:03:24.280 --> 00:03:28.780
and walk in love as
Christ also has loved us
58
00:03:28.780 --> 00:03:32.800
and given himself for us and offering
59
00:03:32.800 --> 00:03:35.920
and a sweet sacrifice to God
60
00:03:35.920 --> 00:03:39.370
for a sweet smelling aroma.
61
00:03:39.370 --> 00:03:44.260
So when Jesus died, it was a sacrifice
62
00:03:44.260 --> 00:03:49.260
to God and it gave a sweet smelling aroma.
63
00:03:49.780 --> 00:03:54.070
But when you and I walk
in love towards one
64
00:03:54.070 --> 00:03:57.160
another, we are giving
65
00:03:57.160 --> 00:04:01.150
that same sweet smelling aroma.
66
00:04:01.150 --> 00:04:05.834
Now I wanna show you how that's true.
67
00:04:05.834 --> 00:04:10.620
So Romans 12:1 says,
68
00:04:13.600 --> 00:04:17.800
and I beseech you,
69
00:04:17.800 --> 00:04:21.220
therefore brethren, by the mercies of God
70
00:04:21.220 --> 00:04:24.820
that you present your bodies
71
00:04:24.820 --> 00:04:29.380
a living sacrifice, holy
72
00:04:29.380 --> 00:04:31.570
acceptable to God,
73
00:04:31.570 --> 00:04:35.380
which is your reasonable service.
74
00:04:35.380 --> 00:04:39.490
When we present our bodies to the Lord,
75
00:04:40.390 --> 00:04:44.350
we become that living sacrifice.
76
00:04:45.220 --> 00:04:48.850
And when we are a sacrifice,
77
00:04:48.850 --> 00:04:52.060
we are giving an aroma to God.
78
00:04:52.060 --> 00:04:56.770
Now I wanna show you that in 1 Corinthians -
79
00:04:56.770 --> 00:05:00.160
it's 2 Corinthians and it's chapter 2,
80
00:05:02.500 --> 00:05:04.450
and you're gonna see
81
00:05:04.450 --> 00:05:08.440
how you actually are giving an
82
00:05:08.440 --> 00:05:10.000
aroma.
83
00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:14.710
Now think of it, friend. In the world,
84
00:05:14.710 --> 00:05:16.660
they actually say
85
00:05:16.660 --> 00:05:19.630
and it's been said to me, probably it's been said to you,
86
00:05:20.470 --> 00:05:22.840
somebody that's not a believer,
87
00:05:22.840 --> 00:05:26.050
they don't understand the things of God at all
88
00:05:26.050 --> 00:05:30.940
and they say, you have a good aura.
89
00:05:32.830 --> 00:05:37.510
And the first time I heard that, I thought, what is an aura?
90
00:05:38.500 --> 00:05:41.320
And so they explained it to me.
91
00:05:41.320 --> 00:05:45.340
I said, I said, well, that's not an aura,
92
00:05:45.340 --> 00:05:46.780
that aura
93
00:05:46.780 --> 00:05:51.780
or whatever it is, you see
that's the presence of God.
94
00:05:52.120 --> 00:05:54.820
And at the time I didn't know
95
00:05:54.820 --> 00:05:57.220
that I was giving a fragrance.
96
00:05:59.330 --> 00:06:04.330
Did you know that as when
you get up in the morning,
97
00:06:04.400 --> 00:06:07.070
you are a fragrance to God.
98
00:06:07.070 --> 00:06:11.570
When you go to work, you bring a fragrance
99
00:06:11.570 --> 00:06:13.370
to the people that you work with.
100
00:06:13.370 --> 00:06:15.170
When you go to school,
101
00:06:15.170 --> 00:06:18.440
you are bringing a fragrance.
102
00:06:18.440 --> 00:06:20.480
And I want to show you the word of God
103
00:06:20.480 --> 00:06:23.570
because this is really powerful.
104
00:06:23.570 --> 00:06:26.810
And one reason I think it's powerful is
105
00:06:26.810 --> 00:06:30.590
because sometimes we think
106
00:06:30.590 --> 00:06:32.480
so naturally
107
00:06:32.480 --> 00:06:36.470
and we need to think
friend more supernaturally.
108
00:06:36.470 --> 00:06:40.730
We need to really think about the work
109
00:06:40.730 --> 00:06:45.140
that the presence of God
has done on the inside of us
110
00:06:45.140 --> 00:06:49.850
and that it's so powerful that that work
111
00:06:49.850 --> 00:06:53.120
that he's done on the
inside of your spirit,
112
00:06:53.120 --> 00:06:55.610
making you a new
113
00:06:55.610 --> 00:06:58.550
creature in Christ Jesus,
114
00:06:58.550 --> 00:07:01.790
holy acceptable unto God,
115
00:07:01.790 --> 00:07:05.870
un-blameable, without blemish before God.
116
00:07:05.870 --> 00:07:09.440
That's who you really are on the inside.
117
00:07:09.440 --> 00:07:14.440
And that presence on the inside of you,
118
00:07:14.720 --> 00:07:18.530
you're gonna see brings a
119
00:07:18.530 --> 00:07:19.880
fragrance.
120
00:07:19.880 --> 00:07:20.990
Now look at this.
121
00:07:22.070 --> 00:07:25.250
It says in verse 14 of
122
00:07:26.120 --> 00:07:30.470
2 Corinthians 2: Now thanks be
123
00:07:30.470 --> 00:07:32.120
to God
124
00:07:32.120 --> 00:07:36.200
who always leads us in triumph in Christ
125
00:07:36.200 --> 00:07:38.060
and through us -
126
00:07:38.060 --> 00:07:41.210
you can put your name right there - and through you
127
00:07:41.210 --> 00:07:43.490
and through me, diffuses
128
00:07:44.960 --> 00:07:46.460
the fragrance
129
00:07:46.460 --> 00:07:50.300
of his knowledge in every place.
130
00:07:51.830 --> 00:07:56.750
Out of you is coming the fragrance
131
00:07:56.750 --> 00:07:58.070
of his knowledge.
132
00:08:01.970 --> 00:08:04.910
It's important that we understand this.
133
00:08:04.910 --> 00:08:07.490
It's important that we believe it.
134
00:08:08.930 --> 00:08:11.270
It's important that we think about it,
135
00:08:12.350 --> 00:08:16.130
that you're not just a a normal
person when you walk into a
136
00:08:16.130 --> 00:08:17.990
store to buy something,
137
00:08:17.990 --> 00:08:21.530
you are bringing the fragrance of Christ.
138
00:08:21.530 --> 00:08:26.390
Look at verse 15: for we are to God, the fragrance
139
00:08:26.390 --> 00:08:30.710
of Christ among those who are being saved
140
00:08:30.710 --> 00:08:33.740
and among those who are perishing.
141
00:08:33.740 --> 00:08:38.150
There you go, you're again,
the fragrance of Christ.
142
00:08:39.320 --> 00:08:44.320
To the one we are an aroma of death leading to death
143
00:08:45.020 --> 00:08:49.400
and to the other, an aroma of life leading
144
00:08:49.400 --> 00:08:51.290
to life.
145
00:08:51.290 --> 00:08:55.440
You are bringing a fragrance of Christ.
146
00:08:55.440 --> 00:08:58.440
You bring a fragrance of his knowledge.
147
00:08:58.440 --> 00:09:02.340
Now you know you bring a
fragrance of his life to those
148
00:09:02.340 --> 00:09:06.330
who are living and of death
to those who are dead.
149
00:09:08.220 --> 00:09:11.550
We're not just natural creatures here.
150
00:09:11.550 --> 00:09:15.750
We're supernatural people
151
00:09:15.750 --> 00:09:19.680
with the power of God on the inside of us.
152
00:09:19.680 --> 00:09:23.310
You know those things that you
can buy and put in your house
153
00:09:23.310 --> 00:09:28.310
and they actually call them a diffuser?
154
00:09:28.350 --> 00:09:32.880
Well, you can say about
yourself, I am a diffuser.
155
00:09:32.880 --> 00:09:37.020
I am a diffuser of the
knowledge of Christ.
156
00:09:37.020 --> 00:09:41.100
I am a diffuser of life.
157
00:09:42.120 --> 00:09:45.240
And you would be speaking the truth.
158
00:09:47.400 --> 00:09:51.210
We are that living sacrifice.
159
00:09:51.210 --> 00:09:54.420
Now, the first to sacrifice that we know
160
00:09:54.420 --> 00:09:57.750
of is in Genesis 8.
161
00:09:59.220 --> 00:10:02.310
And it is when Noah got off the ark
162
00:10:02.310 --> 00:10:05.730
and he made the sacrifice unto the Lord
163
00:10:07.950 --> 00:10:12.950
and it says, and the Lord
smelled a soothing aroma.
164
00:10:13.050 --> 00:10:15.840
Then the Lord said in his heart,
165
00:10:15.840 --> 00:10:20.160
I will never again curse
the ground for man's sake,
166
00:10:20.160 --> 00:10:22.560
although the imagination
167
00:10:22.560 --> 00:10:27.060
of the man's heart is evil from his youth,
168
00:10:27.060 --> 00:10:30.810
nor will I again destroy
every living thing
169
00:10:31.800 --> 00:10:33.630
as I have done.
170
00:10:33.630 --> 00:10:38.250
While the earth remains
seed time and harvest, cold
171
00:10:38.250 --> 00:10:42.510
and heat, winter and summer and day
172
00:10:42.510 --> 00:10:44.820
and night shall not cease.
173
00:10:47.580 --> 00:10:52.410
Noah was giving this sacrifice
174
00:10:52.410 --> 00:10:56.670
and it was a sweet aroma unto the Lord.
175
00:10:56.670 --> 00:11:00.300
And when he gave that
sacrifice, the Lord brought
176
00:11:00.300 --> 00:11:02.760
so many promises there
177
00:11:02.760 --> 00:11:05.400
and the Lord has kept all those promises
178
00:11:05.400 --> 00:11:09.480
to this day. I had the privilege about two
179
00:11:09.480 --> 00:11:12.810
or three months ago of
going with my husband
180
00:11:12.810 --> 00:11:14.700
and some other people
181
00:11:14.700 --> 00:11:19.700
and I got to see what historians say
182
00:11:20.280 --> 00:11:24.780
is the rock, the stone
183
00:11:24.780 --> 00:11:29.400
where it was carved out,
where Moses, where Noah,
184
00:11:29.400 --> 00:11:32.490
excuse me, made that sacrifice.
185
00:11:35.220 --> 00:11:38.220
It was quite an overwhelming experience
186
00:11:38.220 --> 00:11:42.870
because I was thinking
about that sacrifice
187
00:11:42.870 --> 00:11:46.170
and Noah giving that sacrifice
188
00:11:46.170 --> 00:11:49.620
and that love exchange to God and
189
00:11:51.180 --> 00:11:55.870
and everything that God had done
190
00:11:55.870 --> 00:11:59.680
for them, he had saved
them out of millions
191
00:11:59.680 --> 00:12:01.300
of other people.
192
00:12:02.470 --> 00:12:05.560
I can imagine them hearing the screams of,
193
00:12:05.560 --> 00:12:08.890
of those people saying,
Noah, open the door,
194
00:12:08.890 --> 00:12:10.180
Noah, we're perishing.
195
00:12:10.180 --> 00:12:11.710
We're drowning here.
196
00:12:11.710 --> 00:12:15.430
And the door was closed
because God shut the door.
197
00:12:15.430 --> 00:12:20.430
And then those massive
waves picked up that arc
198
00:12:20.470 --> 00:12:23.770
and they stayed in that arc
for days and days and days
199
00:12:23.770 --> 00:12:26.290
and days and days and days and days.
200
00:12:27.340 --> 00:12:29.620
And then coming out of that ark
201
00:12:30.880 --> 00:12:34.570
and realizing you're the only
eight people in the whole
202
00:12:34.570 --> 00:12:38.440
world and that God saved you
203
00:12:39.610 --> 00:12:44.500
and bringing that
sacrifice of thanksgiving
204
00:12:44.500 --> 00:12:49.240
to the Lord. Oh friend, when we give
205
00:12:49.240 --> 00:12:52.480
that living sacrifice to the Lord
206
00:12:53.530 --> 00:12:57.820
of our appreciation of
everything he's done for us,
207
00:12:58.660 --> 00:13:01.810
it truly brings an aroma to God.
208
00:13:03.610 --> 00:13:07.570
Don't ever underestimate your worship,
209
00:13:07.570 --> 00:13:11.020
your praise, your life unto God,
210
00:13:12.490 --> 00:13:16.720
being that living sacrifice, forgiving.
211
00:13:16.720 --> 00:13:20.530
Maybe you have to forgive
someone day in and day out
212
00:13:20.530 --> 00:13:24.040
because it's a hard relationship.
213
00:13:24.040 --> 00:13:27.310
Or maybe, maybe you love the unlovely.
214
00:13:28.330 --> 00:13:32.170
You know the Bible says actually that if we just love those
215
00:13:32.170 --> 00:13:36.370
who love us, what kind of love is
216
00:13:36.370 --> 00:13:38.050
that the Pharisees do that.
217
00:13:39.130 --> 00:13:43.000
But when we love those who despitefully use us
218
00:13:43.000 --> 00:13:45.010
or we love those who curse us
219
00:13:47.080 --> 00:13:51.220
and we bless them, this
is the true love of God.
220
00:13:52.180 --> 00:13:56.650
When you and I do that, we
are that living sacrifice
221
00:13:56.650 --> 00:13:59.800
to the Lord and he can,
222
00:13:59.800 --> 00:14:04.360
it brings a smell, it brings an aroma before him.
223
00:14:07.750 --> 00:14:10.390
We are supernatural. We're not natural.
224
00:14:12.100 --> 00:14:14.050
I want you to think about that.
225
00:14:14.050 --> 00:14:19.050
You're actually a
diffuser of his presence.
226
00:14:19.210 --> 00:14:23.140
You're actually a
diffuser of his knowledge.
227
00:14:24.850 --> 00:14:29.170
And when we, when we walk
in love towards one another,
228
00:14:29.170 --> 00:14:32.170
we're imitating our God
229
00:14:32.170 --> 00:14:36.160
as it says in Ephesians 5:1.
230
00:14:38.530 --> 00:14:40.150
You might be saying, well, I don't know
231
00:14:40.150 --> 00:14:43.690
how I can imitate God, please help me.
232
00:14:43.690 --> 00:14:48.670
And I wanna show you how we
can practically imitate God.
233
00:14:50.930 --> 00:14:54.860
Excuse me. Go to Colossians 3,
234
00:14:54.860 --> 00:14:58.970
and you're gonna see how you can imitate God.
235
00:15:02.210 --> 00:15:06.950
It says in verse 13, no verse 12,
236
00:15:06.950 --> 00:15:11.810
it says, therefore, as
the elect of God, holy
237
00:15:11.810 --> 00:15:14.180
and beloved, that's who you are,
238
00:15:14.180 --> 00:15:17.150
put on tender mercy,
239
00:15:18.290 --> 00:15:20.300
put them on.
240
00:15:20.300 --> 00:15:22.640
When you got up this morning,
you didn't just speak
241
00:15:22.640 --> 00:15:26.600
to your clothes and tell them
to come on your body, you went
242
00:15:26.600 --> 00:15:29.030
and you put them on one by one.
243
00:15:29.960 --> 00:15:32.570
Well, that's what we need to do.
244
00:15:32.570 --> 00:15:37.310
If we're gonna be that living
sacrifice to the Lord, we need
245
00:15:37.310 --> 00:15:42.310
to put on those tender mercies.
246
00:15:42.650 --> 00:15:45.080
You know, God has been merciful to you.
247
00:15:46.550 --> 00:15:49.160
God has been merciful to us.
248
00:15:50.390 --> 00:15:52.460
We didn't deserve mercy.
249
00:15:52.460 --> 00:15:55.070
If God gave us what we deserved,
250
00:15:57.560 --> 00:16:02.090
we would get, we would receive
hell at the end of our life
251
00:16:02.090 --> 00:16:04.280
because that's what we deserved.
252
00:16:04.280 --> 00:16:08.690
We deserved judgment,
but God gave us mercy.
253
00:16:08.690 --> 00:16:12.500
Well, now he lives in
us by the Holy Spirit,
254
00:16:12.500 --> 00:16:17.500
and now we have the power
to be that living sacrifice
255
00:16:18.050 --> 00:16:21.500
and put those mercies on
256
00:16:21.500 --> 00:16:23.900
and give that out to somebody else.
257
00:16:24.770 --> 00:16:27.800
What about kindness?
258
00:16:27.800 --> 00:16:32.300
When you give kindness
to someone, you are being
259
00:16:32.300 --> 00:16:34.010
that living sacrifice.
260
00:16:34.010 --> 00:16:37.370
You are an aroma to God:
261
00:16:38.240 --> 00:16:42.860
humility, meekness,
262
00:16:42.860 --> 00:16:47.570
long suffering, bearing with one another
263
00:16:47.570 --> 00:16:49.670
and forgiving one another.
264
00:16:51.620 --> 00:16:55.910
That verse right there
actually actually means
265
00:16:55.910 --> 00:16:59.120
giving grace to one another.
266
00:16:59.120 --> 00:17:02.300
So when when we give grace to one another,
267
00:17:02.300 --> 00:17:05.750
we forgive one another, we are being
268
00:17:05.750 --> 00:17:08.150
that living sacrifice
269
00:17:08.150 --> 00:17:09.500
and we're bringing
270
00:17:09.500 --> 00:17:13.190
that sweet aroma unto the Lord.
271
00:17:14.450 --> 00:17:16.910
Now remember, you're a diffuser
272
00:17:18.080 --> 00:17:22.280
and you are diffusing
the knowledge of Christ.
273
00:17:24.620 --> 00:17:28.730
You are diffusing the presence of Christ.
274
00:17:31.220 --> 00:17:34.430
That's because he's on the inside of you.
275
00:17:35.930 --> 00:17:37.790
Think about a diffuser for a moment.
276
00:17:37.790 --> 00:17:40.580
Why is a diffuser a diffuser?
277
00:17:41.750 --> 00:17:46.310
Because there's perfume on the
278
00:17:46.310 --> 00:17:49.530
inside of that porcelain
279
00:17:52.080 --> 00:17:56.610
and there is a mechanism
connected to the perfume.
280
00:17:56.610 --> 00:18:00.000
And then you, you put the fire to that
281
00:18:00.000 --> 00:18:02.850
and it brings out that perfume.
282
00:18:02.850 --> 00:18:06.630
Well, when the Holy Spirit,
you could say the fire
283
00:18:06.630 --> 00:18:11.520
of the Holy Spirit, he touches you and I
284
00:18:11.520 --> 00:18:13.380
and we agree with him,
285
00:18:13.380 --> 00:18:17.100
and we say, Lord, I'm gonna
give mercy to this person.
286
00:18:17.100 --> 00:18:21.240
Lord, I am gonna forgive
this person, Lord,
287
00:18:21.240 --> 00:18:25.470
I'm gonna act like God and I
am gonna walk in this love.
288
00:18:25.470 --> 00:18:27.990
And Lord, I am gonna diffuse
289
00:18:29.580 --> 00:18:32.130
this presence
290
00:18:32.130 --> 00:18:34.800
and this aroma to you, Lord.
291
00:18:36.420 --> 00:18:41.420
Oh, that's powerful friend,
you are not at all natural.
292
00:18:41.760 --> 00:18:45.690
You are, or shall I say,
you're not just natural,
293
00:18:46.530 --> 00:18:48.450
you are supernatural.
294
00:18:50.250 --> 00:18:53.280
It is so powerful
295
00:18:53.280 --> 00:18:57.870
because the world, they recognize it.
296
00:18:59.760 --> 00:19:00.780
So why don't you
297
00:19:00.780 --> 00:19:04.500
and I as Christians, why
don't we recognize it?
298
00:19:04.500 --> 00:19:09.450
Why don't we recognize the one
who lives on the inside of us
299
00:19:10.950 --> 00:19:12.900
and every morning get up
300
00:19:12.900 --> 00:19:17.490
and say, I'm not just,
I'm not just a Christian
301
00:19:17.490 --> 00:19:20.130
and I'm struggling in this world.
302
00:19:20.130 --> 00:19:22.980
No, I've got the power
of the Holy Spirit in me
303
00:19:25.080 --> 00:19:30.080
and I am actually a
diffuser of his knowledge.
304
00:19:30.180 --> 00:19:33.930
I am a diffuser of life
305
00:19:33.930 --> 00:19:36.000
to those who are living.
306
00:19:36.000 --> 00:19:38.160
I am a diffuser of death
307
00:19:38.160 --> 00:19:42.270
or conviction to those who are dying
308
00:19:47.490 --> 00:19:50.190
to recognize the power of the Holy Spirit,
309
00:19:52.020 --> 00:19:53.520
to recognize him,
310
00:19:54.720 --> 00:19:59.460
to take on his attributes, to recognize
311
00:19:59.460 --> 00:20:02.520
that he's the one living
on the inside of you.
312
00:20:02.520 --> 00:20:07.385
And when you use your faith,
when you use your faith, you
313
00:20:09.030 --> 00:20:11.460
recognize who's on the inside of you.
314
00:20:11.460 --> 00:20:16.080
And as it says in Ephesians 5:1,
315
00:20:18.090 --> 00:20:22.830
therefore be imitators of God as dear children.
316
00:20:22.830 --> 00:20:26.550
Then you and I, by using our faith,
317
00:20:26.550 --> 00:20:31.230
we choose to imitate God on the
318
00:20:31.230 --> 00:20:33.390
inside of us
319
00:20:33.390 --> 00:20:37.770
and say, God, I may not feel like I wanna forgive.
320
00:20:37.770 --> 00:20:41.820
I may not feel like giving this mercy to that person,
321
00:20:41.820 --> 00:20:44.250
but that doesn't matter.
322
00:20:44.250 --> 00:20:48.760
I'm recognizing the power
that's on the inside of me
323
00:20:48.760 --> 00:20:52.120
and I am going to act like you
324
00:20:52.120 --> 00:20:55.570
and I am gonna walk in
love towards that person.
325
00:20:57.490 --> 00:20:59.500
That's powerful.
326
00:20:59.500 --> 00:21:04.090
And in that we are diffusing
327
00:21:05.680 --> 00:21:08.440
the presence and knowledge of Christ
328
00:21:08.440 --> 00:21:10.990
and the very life of God.
329
00:21:12.040 --> 00:21:15.370
You know, I've often thought
of that verse so many times,
330
00:21:15.370 --> 00:21:19.000
how can one spouse who is saved
331
00:21:20.920 --> 00:21:25.000
sanctify the other spouse who's not saved?
332
00:21:25.000 --> 00:21:27.490
And I always thought, I
don't understand that that's,
333
00:21:27.490 --> 00:21:30.880
but that's what the Bible says in 1 Corinthians.
334
00:21:30.880 --> 00:21:33.460
And so I said, that's true.
335
00:21:34.690 --> 00:21:36.340
Well look at this.
336
00:21:36.340 --> 00:21:41.340
That believer has the
presence of Christ in them,
337
00:21:42.010 --> 00:21:45.550
that believer, that spouse,
if that's you that I'm talking
338
00:21:45.550 --> 00:21:48.910
to, when you walk in your home
339
00:21:48.910 --> 00:21:53.440
and your spouse is not
saved, you are diffuser
340
00:21:53.440 --> 00:21:56.410
of the knowledge of Christ.
341
00:21:56.410 --> 00:21:59.770
You are a diffuser of that life
342
00:22:02.920 --> 00:22:04.240
to that spouse.
343
00:22:06.370 --> 00:22:09.280
So recognize who you really are
344
00:22:10.120 --> 00:22:14.620
and let's become imitators
of God as dear children
345
00:22:14.620 --> 00:22:18.880
and walk in that love that he's given us.
346
00:22:20.530 --> 00:22:23.470
Stay with me and I'm gonna come right back
347
00:22:23.470 --> 00:22:25.360
and we're gonna pray together.
348
00:22:25.360 --> 00:22:28.060
Imitating your heavenly
Father is the greatest
349
00:22:28.060 --> 00:22:29.860
compliment you can give him.
350
00:22:29.860 --> 00:22:33.760
According to Ephesians 5:1, as a child of God,
351
00:22:33.760 --> 00:22:35.770
you are called to imitate him each
352
00:22:35.770 --> 00:22:38.500
and every day by following his example,
353
00:22:38.500 --> 00:22:41.740
you can overcome obstacles,
learn how to treat others
354
00:22:41.740 --> 00:22:44.320
and carry his light to those around you.
355

your father's footsteps.
358
00:22:52.240 --> 00:22:56.320
You can imitate God by having a victor mindset: giving
359
00:22:56.320 --> 00:22:59.290
to those around you: forgiving others,
360
00:22:59.290 --> 00:23:03.220

Well, you are an imitator of God.
382
00:24:01.160 --> 00:24:06.160
That's what the Bible says - be an imitator of God.
383
00:24:06.440 --> 00:24:10.190
And the next verse says that Jesus,
384
00:24:10.190 --> 00:24:12.170
when he gave his life,
385
00:24:12.170 --> 00:24:15.740
he was a sweet smell unto God.
386
00:24:16.880 --> 00:24:19.490
And as we are living sacrifices,
387
00:24:19.490 --> 00:24:23.510
just like it says in Romans 12:1,
388
00:24:23.510 --> 00:24:26.960
to be a living sacrifice right now
389
00:24:26.960 --> 00:24:29.090
as a living sacrifice,
390
00:24:29.090 --> 00:24:33.950
you are giving a smell unto God
391
00:24:33.950 --> 00:24:38.950
and unto this lost world
and unto every believer.
392
00:24:39.650 --> 00:24:42.680
Friend, I think this is very encouraging.
393
00:24:42.680 --> 00:24:45.890
We need to know how powerful we are
394
00:24:45.890 --> 00:24:48.140
and that we are supernatural
395
00:24:48.140 --> 00:24:51.860
and to expect the supernatural.
396
00:24:51.860 --> 00:24:53.120
Thank you, father.
397
00:24:53.120 --> 00:24:56.570
Lord, I pray with my friend right now, Father,
398
00:24:56.570 --> 00:25:00.830
that we won't just go out the door of our house today or
399
00:25:00.830 --> 00:25:04.610
or just live this day like
we are just like the world,
400
00:25:04.610 --> 00:25:05.870
but we are not.
401
00:25:06.800 --> 00:25:08.960
Lord, we're so magnificent.
402
00:25:08.960 --> 00:25:11.570
You, you live on the inside
403
00:25:11.570 --> 00:25:15.620
that we actually even
give off a fragrance.
404
00:25:16.490 --> 00:25:21.490
A fragrance of your knowledge
and a fragrance of your life.
405
00:25:21.800 --> 00:25:25.940
We thank you for this
Father in the name of Jesus.
406
00:25:25.940 --> 00:25:30.230
And right now, in Jesus'
name, I speak healing
407
00:25:30.230 --> 00:25:31.580
to your body.
408
00:25:31.580 --> 00:25:34.760
There's somebody and
your listening right now
409
00:25:34.760 --> 00:25:37.940
and the presence of God is on you.
410
00:25:37.940 --> 00:25:42.440
And he is touching you: touching you in your eyes.
411
00:25:42.440 --> 00:25:44.780
I thank you, Lord for the healing power
412
00:25:44.780 --> 00:25:49.070
of God going into those eyes, clearing up
413
00:25:49.070 --> 00:25:52.430
that vision right now
in the name of Jesus.
414
00:25:53.390 --> 00:25:56.870
Oh, we give you praise, Father. Thank you,
415
00:25:56.870 --> 00:26:00.620
Father. If that was you, please let us know.
416
00:26:00.620 --> 00:26:03.440
Please tell us what
God's doing in your life
417
00:26:03.440 --> 00:26:08.150
and if you would like to
have this, this teaching
418
00:26:08.150 --> 00:26:10.700
and go deeper down on the inside of you,
419
00:26:10.700 --> 00:26:15.700
please order this study guide or the 5-part video series,
420
00:26:15.860 --> 00:26:18.920
and maybe there's somebody
you wanna share this with.
421
00:26:18.920 --> 00:26:22.880
It's gonna help 'em. And
don't forget to order my book,
422
00:26:22.880 --> 00:26:27.560
Jesus Is your Healer, especially if you know someone
423
00:26:27.560 --> 00:26:30.260
that's struggling with sickness.
424
00:26:30.260 --> 00:26:33.710
Well, I'm out of time, but I love you
425
00:26:33.710 --> 00:26:36.470
and be an imitator of God.
426
00:26:37.700 --> 00:26:40.880
If you've never received Jesus as your Savior
427
00:26:40.880 --> 00:26:45.880
and Lord, now is the time for you to experience a new life
428
00:26:46.020 --> 00:26:48.270
Jesus has to give you.
429
00:26:48.270 --> 00:26:52.590
Pray this prayer with me right now; Lord,
430
00:26:52.590 --> 00:26:57.270
I repent of my sin and
receive you as my Savior
431
00:26:57.270 --> 00:27:00.600
and Lord. Wash away my sin
432
00:27:00.600 --> 00:27:03.210
and make me completely new.
433
00:27:03.210 --> 00:27:05.550
I thank you that my sin is removed
434
00:27:05.550 --> 00:27:10.550
and Satan no longer has any
right to lay claim on me.
435
00:27:10.650 --> 00:27:15.650
I faithfully promise that
I will serve you as my Lord
436
00:27:15.690 --> 00:27:18.300
for the rest of my life.
437
00:27:18.300 --> 00:27:19.300
Amen.
438
00:27:22.495 --> 00:27:25.260
If you just prayed the prayer of salvation with us,
439
00:27:25.260 --> 00:27:27.210
would you please let us know by going
440
00:27:27.210 --> 00:27:30.180

442

Perhaps I have to do another test.
443
00:27:40.350 --> 00:27:43.080
The only thing to do is to wait.
444
00:27:46.170 --> 00:27:50.070
I wish things have gone another way. I wanna be healthy.
445
00:27:52.980 --> 00:27:56.370
