00:00:01.140 --> 00:00:03.840
This program is made
possible by the giving
2
00:00:03.840 --> 00:00:07.920
of the God called partners
of Renner Ministries.
3
00:00:07.920 --> 00:00:11.100
Get ready for a teaching
that feeds your spirit
4
00:00:11.100 --> 00:00:14.700
and your mind, where the word is the anchor in
5
00:00:14.700 --> 00:00:16.650
uncertain times
6
00:00:16.650 --> 00:00:19.950
and doctrine doesn't bend to culture.
7
00:00:19.950 --> 00:00:21.390
We keep it simple,
8
00:00:21.390 --> 00:00:25.950
but dive deep revealing a truth that strengthens us,
9
00:00:26.820 --> 00:00:28.740
a love that emboldens,
10
00:00:29.850 --> 00:00:32.010
and a mission that touches the world.
11
00:00:34.350 --> 00:00:35.850
Let's join Rick Renner.
12
00:00:38.730 --> 00:00:40.920
Hey friends, this is Rick Renner.
13
00:00:40.920 --> 00:00:44.790
Have you been waiting for me?
I have been waiting for you.
14
00:00:44.790 --> 00:00:48.115
And today, not just me, it's me and Denise
15
00:00:48.115 --> 00:00:50.190
and Nancy Dufresne. And we'remso glad you're with
16
00:00:50.190 --> 00:00:51.190
us.
17
00:00:51.190 --> 00:00:52.023
I am so thrilled to be here.
18
00:00:52.023 --> 00:00:54.090
We're having a good time.
We are having a good time.
19
00:00:54.090 --> 00:00:55.800
You know, even in our
personal private time,
20
00:00:55.800 --> 00:00:57.270
we're just talking about the word of God
21
00:00:57.270 --> 00:00:58.650
and what God is doing.
22
00:00:58.650 --> 00:01:00.660
Absolutely. - And thank you for joining us.
23
00:01:00.660 --> 00:01:02.040
Thank you for having me.
24
00:01:02.040 --> 00:01:03.540
And thank you for joining us.
25
00:01:03.540 --> 00:01:05.460
We're so glad that you're with us.
26
00:01:05.460 --> 00:01:08.010
And we really believe in the ministry of Nancy Dufresne.
27
00:01:08.010 --> 00:01:10.050
And by the way, if you're
looking for a good ministry
28
00:01:10.050 --> 00:01:14.190
to support, Nancy's is a
good ministry to support.
29
00:01:14.190 --> 00:01:17.250
It's really affecting
lives all over the world.
30
00:01:17.250 --> 00:01:19.470
We are partners with Nancy's ministry.
31
00:01:19.470 --> 00:01:21.030
We believe in it, and
32
00:01:21.030 --> 00:01:23.370
that's why we want you to know her better.
33
00:01:23.370 --> 00:01:25.620
But we want you to get the series which we're offering you
34
00:01:25.620 --> 00:01:28.740
this week, which is called, The Divine Healer.
35
00:01:28.740 --> 00:01:30.090
It comes with a study guide
36
00:01:30.090 --> 00:01:32.940
because as I always tell you, we believe
37
00:01:32.940 --> 00:01:35.310
that when you read the
material while you're seeing
38
00:01:35.310 --> 00:01:38.730
or hearing the series, it has a double impact.
39
00:01:38.730 --> 00:01:43.200
It really causes the revelation to get down deep inside you.
40
00:01:43.200 --> 00:01:44.940
And we want you to get Nancy's book
41
00:01:44.940 --> 00:01:46.890
that I read from cover to cover.
42
00:01:46.890 --> 00:01:48.870
It is so easy to read.
43
00:01:48.870 --> 00:01:51.510
I learned something about the 10 lepers. - Good.
44
00:01:51.510 --> 00:01:53.130
I was shocked when I read this book.
45
00:01:53.130 --> 00:01:55.830
I thought, why have I
never seen that in my life?
46
00:01:55.830 --> 00:01:57.600
And I know you're gonna
get a lot out of this.
47
00:01:57.600 --> 00:01:59.970
And it's called - The Healer Divine.
48
00:01:59.970 --> 00:02:02.850
And it's a study of the healings of Jesus.
49
00:02:02.850 --> 00:02:04.530
It's so easy to read
50
00:02:04.530 --> 00:02:07.620
and it will really do something marvelous in your life.
51
00:02:07.620 --> 00:02:11.160
So we want you to order all
these things by going online
52
00:02:11.160 --> 00:02:12.930
or by giving us a call.
53
00:02:12.930 --> 00:02:16.080
And when you reach out, let
us know how to pray for you.
54
00:02:16.080 --> 00:02:18.120
We are told in 1 John 5,
55
00:02:18.120 --> 00:02:21.000
that if we pray anything according to the will of God,
56
00:02:21.000 --> 00:02:22.380
he hears us.
57
00:02:23.255 --> 00:02:24.960
We know how to pray scripturally.
58
00:02:24.960 --> 00:02:25.980
Yeah.
And if you don't know how
59
00:02:25.980 --> 00:02:28.080
to pray, we know how to pray.
60
00:02:28.080 --> 00:02:29.550
So you reach out to us
61
00:02:29.550 --> 00:02:33.420
and with you, we will pray
according to the will of God.
62
00:02:33.420 --> 00:02:37.170
And Jesus will do what needs to be done.
63
00:02:37.170 --> 00:02:39.210
But we'll be more effective in praying
64
00:02:39.210 --> 00:02:42.330
for you if you let us know how to pray.
65
00:02:42.330 --> 00:02:45.360
So call the number on the
screen or send us an email
66
00:02:45.360 --> 00:02:48.270
and we will immediately
begin to pray for you.
67
00:02:48.270 --> 00:02:49.770
But reach for your Bible
68
00:02:49.770 --> 00:02:52.560
because we use the Bible in this program
69
00:02:52.560 --> 00:02:54.510
and reach for a piece
of paper and a pencil.
70
00:02:54.510 --> 00:02:56.190
Get ready to take notes.
71
00:02:56.190 --> 00:02:58.230
And Nancy, let's get started.
What are we gonna do?
72
00:02:58.230 --> 00:03:01.600
Well, started looking at, in the previous episode,
73
00:03:01.600 --> 00:03:05.230
3 John 1:2, where John said,
74
00:03:05.230 --> 00:03:08.050
Beloved, I wish above all things thou mayest
75
00:03:08.050 --> 00:03:10.570
prosper and be in health. That is so
76
00:03:10.570 --> 00:03:11.570
powerful.
77
00:03:11.570 --> 00:03:13.060
But look at that. And then
he doesn't leave out the next
78
00:03:13.060 --> 00:03:16.660
phrase, even as your soul: he's interested in,
79
00:03:16.660 --> 00:03:19.780
in the thought life, the
peace of the mind, as well
80
00:03:19.780 --> 00:03:21.340
as peace in the body.
81
00:03:21.340 --> 00:03:22.420
Peace and provision.
82
00:03:22.420 --> 00:03:23.290
So when you talk about the
83
00:03:23.290 --> 00:03:24.640
soul, you're talking about the mind.
84
00:03:24.640 --> 00:03:26.320
You are talking about the mind.
85
00:03:26.320 --> 00:03:27.730
And so notice
86
00:03:27.730 --> 00:03:30.220
that our health is connected
to our thought life.
87
00:03:30.220 --> 00:03:32.230
Our prosperity is connected
to our thought life.
88
00:03:32.230 --> 00:03:36.400
If we think wrong, listen,
the devil can only operate
89
00:03:36.400 --> 00:03:39.100
or have the door open to our
lives through wrong thinking.
90
00:03:39.100 --> 00:03:40.480
Can I give an example of that?
91
00:03:40.480 --> 00:03:42.700
Sure. - Do we, when we were all younger,
92
00:03:42.700 --> 00:03:43.700
Yes.
93
00:03:43.700 --> 00:03:46.150
People thought older at a much younger age.
94
00:03:46.990 --> 00:03:48.520
When people hit 60.
95
00:03:48.520 --> 00:03:50.440
Yes. - They looked like they were 60.
96
00:03:50.440 --> 00:03:52.210
Didn't they - Though? They looked like they were 80.
97
00:03:53.050 --> 00:03:56.050
Yes. I - Remember, remember
when my grandmother was 65?
98
00:03:56.050 --> 00:03:58.180
Yeah.
She looked like an old woman
99
00:03:58.180 --> 00:04:01.300
because people thought
that they were getting old.
100
00:04:01.300 --> 00:04:03.100
The thinking is now changing.
101
00:04:03.100 --> 00:04:05.590
Yes.
And look at the three of us.
102
00:04:05.590 --> 00:04:08.590
Look how young we look.
But it's the way we think
103
00:04:08.590 --> 00:04:09.970
thinking has changed.
104
00:04:09.970 --> 00:04:13.420
Yeah. - And how a man
thinks in his heart. So is he.
105
00:04:13.420 --> 00:04:14.560
That's the way that he is.
106
00:04:14.560 --> 00:04:15.820
That's the way he'll conduct his life.
107
00:04:15.820 --> 00:04:17.500
And how you think about health
108
00:04:17.500 --> 00:04:20.260
and healing really has an impact on your
109
00:04:20.260 --> 00:04:21.790
health and on your healing.
110
00:04:21.790 --> 00:04:25.225
You know Kenneth Oh,
excuse me. Go. No, I was,
111
00:04:25.225 --> 00:04:27.035
I'm just listening right now. Okay.
112
00:04:27.035 --> 00:04:31.030
Kenneth Hagin was the spiritual father to my husband
113
00:04:31.030 --> 00:04:33.580
and I for decades before he
went home to be with the Lord.
114
00:04:33.580 --> 00:04:37.210
He records in one of his books
called, I Believe in Visions.
115
00:04:38.380 --> 00:04:41.590
It's under the chapter called the Hospital Visitor. Dad
116
00:04:41.590 --> 00:04:45.700
Hagin, as a young man, had
an accident and fell down
117
00:04:45.700 --> 00:04:47.020
and injured his arm.
118
00:04:47.020 --> 00:04:49.570
Jesus walked into his hospital room
119
00:04:49.570 --> 00:04:51.220
and he made this statement.
120
00:04:51.220 --> 00:04:53.350
And I've been preaching on this lately.
121
00:04:53.350 --> 00:04:56.320
Jesus said, it is my best
122
00:04:56.320 --> 00:04:59.230
and it is my will that none of my children,
123
00:04:59.230 --> 00:05:01.330
No.1: ever be sick.
124
00:05:01.330 --> 00:05:03.670
No.2: never be operated on.
125
00:05:03.670 --> 00:05:06.760
And No.3: never have any accidents.
126
00:05:06.760 --> 00:05:10.270
See, we need to expect that for our life
127
00:05:10.270 --> 00:05:15.130
because we see so much other
happen than that, that people,
128
00:05:15.130 --> 00:05:17.470
if I could say this,
don't expect God's best.
129
00:05:17.470 --> 00:05:20.230
But then Jesus said, he said, very few
130
00:05:20.230 --> 00:05:22.390
of my children live in my best
131
00:05:22.390 --> 00:05:25.840
because he said, No.1, they, they don't know
132
00:05:25.840 --> 00:05:28.060
what belongs to them
because they belong to me.
133
00:05:28.060 --> 00:05:31.120
Or No.2, if they know what belongs to them,
134
00:05:31.120 --> 00:05:34.360
he said they haven't developed
their faith to receive it.
135
00:05:34.360 --> 00:05:36.880
Or No.3, they're in disobedience.
136
00:05:36.880 --> 00:05:40.150
And so that opens the door for the enemy to rob from them.
137
00:05:40.150 --> 00:05:44.440
The No.1 way the devil gains entrance
138
00:05:44.440 --> 00:05:47.350
to attack us is through wrong thinking.
139
00:05:47.350 --> 00:05:50.260
And God cannot work through wrong thinking.
140
00:05:50.260 --> 00:05:51.970
He can only work through right thinking.
141
00:05:51.970 --> 00:05:54.010
Can you give us an
example of wrong thinking?
142
00:05:54.010 --> 00:05:56.530
Well, what about this - wrong teaching?
143
00:05:56.530 --> 00:05:58.550
That if someone is taught that God's trying
144
00:05:58.550 --> 00:06:01.340
to teach him something through bad things, well,
145
00:06:01.340 --> 00:06:03.290
you can learn something through bad things.
146
00:06:03.290 --> 00:06:05.120
But that's not God's way of teaching.
147
00:06:05.120 --> 00:06:08.000
His way of teaching is his
word. not through hardship.
148
00:06:08.840 --> 00:06:10.910
Another way is sometimes people just
149
00:06:10.910 --> 00:06:12.530
adopt a way of thinking.
150
00:06:12.530 --> 00:06:16.010
They decide that God has this
way of operating without going
151
00:06:16.010 --> 00:06:17.300
to the word to find out.
152
00:06:17.300 --> 00:06:21.170
And so the renewed mind
means taking on the word,
153
00:06:21.170 --> 00:06:23.300
taking on God's way of thinking.
154
00:06:23.300 --> 00:06:26.250
So that we lay down human thinking,
155
00:06:26.250 --> 00:06:29.270
we lay down human reasoning
to find out, what's the word?
156
00:06:29.270 --> 00:06:32.815
Say and think based on
what the word says it.
157
00:06:32.815 --> 00:06:35.210
We, we know this, the words that God said,
158
00:06:35.210 --> 00:06:36.860
my thoughts are higher than your thoughts.
159
00:06:36.860 --> 00:06:38.570
My ways are higher than your ways.
160
00:06:38.570 --> 00:06:40.640
He's not just showing us the difference
161
00:06:40.640 --> 00:06:41.990
that mine are high in yours or low.
162
00:06:41.990 --> 00:06:44.540
He's, he's inviting us. Come up, come up.
163
00:06:44.540 --> 00:06:46.130
Come up in the way you think.
164
00:06:46.130 --> 00:06:50.090
And so when people think
wrong, which is means this,
165
00:06:50.090 --> 00:06:51.590
they embrace a way of thinking
166
00:06:51.590 --> 00:06:52.850
that's different than the word of God,
167
00:06:52.850 --> 00:06:54.225
it's gonna trouble their life.
168
00:06:54.225 --> 00:06:58.100
Yes.
And the devil can only work
169
00:06:58.100 --> 00:06:59.480
through wrong thinking.
170
00:06:59.480 --> 00:07:00.620
You know, when I was growing up
171
00:07:00.620 --> 00:07:02.750
and when Denise was
growing up in our churches,
172
00:07:02.750 --> 00:07:04.130
we had wrong thinking
173
00:07:04.130 --> 00:07:05.130
Yeah.
174
00:07:05.130 --> 00:07:06.080
About sickness.
Sure.
175
00:07:06.080 --> 00:07:07.970
We thought that God sent it.
176
00:07:07.970 --> 00:07:10.485
And rather than prayed to be
healed, we actually prayed
177
00:07:10.485 --> 00:07:11.780
for the grace to accept it,
178
00:07:11.780 --> 00:07:13.760
that we could glorify God in our sickness.
179
00:07:13.760 --> 00:07:15.445
That's really the way that we prayed.
180
00:07:15.445 --> 00:07:17.780
And we believed it.
And when you pray wrong
181
00:07:17.780 --> 00:07:20.360
and believe wrong, it
opens a door for the enemy
182
00:07:20.360 --> 00:07:21.920
to come in like a flood.
183
00:07:21.920 --> 00:07:25.100
Absolutely. - And we had to learn how to think right.
184
00:07:26.030 --> 00:07:29.660
And for me, a major verse was James 1:17.
185
00:07:29.660 --> 00:07:32.990
Every good imperfect gift is from above.
186
00:07:32.990 --> 00:07:34.580
That's what comes from above.
187
00:07:34.580 --> 00:07:37.940
Yes. - And it really helped
me to renew my thinking.
188
00:07:37.940 --> 00:07:40.760
If it's not good, if it's not perfecting,
189
00:07:40.760 --> 00:07:43.460
if it's not putting me
on an upward trajectory
190
00:07:43.460 --> 00:07:44.460
Right
191
00:07:44.460 --> 00:07:46.460
then it fails the test. It doesn't come from God.
192
00:07:46.460 --> 00:07:50.150
Yeah. - And I had to really run to James 1:17
193
00:07:51.590 --> 00:07:52.790
and put it in me, say it
194
00:07:52.790 --> 00:07:54.320
to myself and say it to myself.
195
00:07:54.320 --> 00:07:56.060
Every good and perfect gift is from above.
196
00:07:56.060 --> 00:07:58.160
Every good imperfect gift is from above.
197
00:07:58.160 --> 00:08:01.190
Until finally my mind
began to embrace that.
198
00:08:01.190 --> 00:08:04.100
And I began to think that as
my, as my way of thinking.
199
00:08:04.100 --> 00:08:06.470
And you ran out wrong thinking.
200
00:08:06.470 --> 00:08:08.690
That's correct. - You have to run it out, it down.
201
00:08:08.690 --> 00:08:13.220
I like that
The devil is counting on
202
00:08:13.220 --> 00:08:15.500
ignorance to work his plan.
203
00:08:15.500 --> 00:08:19.640
Mm. You know, Hosea 4:6 says, My people,
204
00:08:19.640 --> 00:08:24.140
God speaking, my people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.
205
00:08:24.140 --> 00:08:26.420
So notice the devil's
not mentioned in there.
206
00:08:26.420 --> 00:08:28.580
It's wrong thinking.
207
00:08:28.580 --> 00:08:30.980
The devil can only work through ignorance.
208
00:08:30.980 --> 00:08:33.890
And he's counting on our
ignorance to work his plan.
209
00:08:33.890 --> 00:08:36.350
And actually when you
know the word of God,
210
00:08:36.350 --> 00:08:37.700
you pulled the plug on the devil.
211
00:08:37.700 --> 00:08:39.650
He doesn't have much
ability to work in our
212
00:08:39.650 --> 00:08:40.820
Lives. No, no.
213
00:08:40.820 --> 00:08:42.800
If you think right, and
you know what's right,
214
00:08:42.800 --> 00:08:45.080
you can keep the devil
from working in your life.
215
00:08:45.080 --> 00:08:48.590
And wrong thinking, not only
opens the door to the enemy,
216
00:08:48.590 --> 00:08:50.600
but it closes the door to God.
217
00:08:50.600 --> 00:08:52.545
Oh, say that again.
It it does the,
218
00:08:52.545 --> 00:08:55.530
the wrong thinking opens
the door to the enemy,
219
00:08:55.530 --> 00:08:57.360
but it closes the door to God.
220
00:08:57.360 --> 00:09:00.120
So we choose through our
thought life, who we,
221
00:09:00.120 --> 00:09:02.940
who we're giving entrance to in our lives.
222
00:09:02.940 --> 00:09:07.110
And in thinking about,
I've said, Dad Hagin,
223
00:09:07.110 --> 00:09:09.150
Kenneth Hagin was our spiritual father.
224
00:09:09.150 --> 00:09:11.790
Many may have may know the testimony of Brother
225
00:09:11.790 --> 00:09:16.260
Hagin: born with incurable heart condition, born
226
00:09:16.260 --> 00:09:19.290
with deformed throughout
his entire chest cavity,
227
00:09:19.290 --> 00:09:20.640
born with a blood disease.
228
00:09:20.640 --> 00:09:24.000
Any one of those things would
would've shortened his life.
229
00:09:24.000 --> 00:09:26.790
At the age of 15, ended up on his deathbed.
230
00:09:26.790 --> 00:09:31.110
God saved the day he was
ended up on his deathbed.
231
00:09:31.110 --> 00:09:35.160
And God began dealing with
him, not about healing,
232
00:09:35.160 --> 00:09:38.310
but he began dealing with
him about wrong thinking
233
00:09:38.310 --> 00:09:42.330
because he knew that if he
continued to think wrong,
234
00:09:42.330 --> 00:09:46.800
the devil had unhindered
access into his life.
235
00:09:46.800 --> 00:09:50.910
And so when Brother Hagin as a
15-year-old was laying on his
236
00:09:50.910 --> 00:09:52.380
death bed, God began to deal
237
00:09:52.380 --> 00:09:56.250
with him when he read Matthew 6:25,
238
00:09:56.250 --> 00:09:59.550
when Jesus said, take no thought for your life,
239
00:09:59.550 --> 00:10:02.430
what you shall put on, what you shall eat.
240
00:10:02.430 --> 00:10:06.180
And he saw that really God was dealing
241
00:10:06.180 --> 00:10:08.790
with him about the sin of worry.
242
00:10:09.690 --> 00:10:14.690
And worry - it's the offspring of fear.
243
00:10:15.150 --> 00:10:17.580
When fear and doubt get together,
244
00:10:17.580 --> 00:10:19.740
they have an offspring called worry.
245
00:10:19.740 --> 00:10:21.360
And worry
246
00:10:21.360 --> 00:10:23.700
Say it again. - When fear and
247
00:10:23.700 --> 00:10:26.280
and doubt get together,
they have an offspring.
248
00:10:26.280 --> 00:10:28.530
Fear The Father doubt the mother
249
00:10:28.530 --> 00:10:30.720
and their offspring is worry
250
00:10:30.720 --> 00:10:31.605
Is worry. That's
251
00:10:31.605 --> 00:10:32.605
Powerful.
252
00:10:32.605 --> 00:10:35.010
It's worry how And, and
Dad Hagin taught us this.
253
00:10:35.010 --> 00:10:36.750
How do you know if you're worrying -
254
00:10:36.750 --> 00:10:38.580
if you're thinking about it?
255
00:10:38.580 --> 00:10:40.830
And so that really causes you
256
00:10:40.830 --> 00:10:42.990
to pay attention to your thought life.
257
00:10:42.990 --> 00:10:44.970
What are you thinking about?
258
00:10:44.970 --> 00:10:47.700
Because so many people
live, if I could say this,
259
00:10:47.700 --> 00:10:49.950
mindless toward what they're allowing
260
00:10:49.950 --> 00:10:51.270
to go on in their thought life.
261
00:10:51.270 --> 00:10:54.685
And this is the first
place that Brother Hagin
262
00:10:54.685 --> 00:10:57.810
as a young man on his
deathbed, God started dealing
263
00:10:57.810 --> 00:10:59.400
with him about his thought life.
264
00:10:59.400 --> 00:11:00.960
He did not even know
265
00:11:00.960 --> 00:11:03.030
that healing was available at this time.
266
00:11:03.030 --> 00:11:04.650
He thought he had to die.
267
00:11:04.650 --> 00:11:06.900
And God did not start bringing
268
00:11:06.900 --> 00:11:08.970
to him the light on divine healing
269
00:11:08.970 --> 00:11:12.300
until he first started
dealing with his thought life:
270
00:11:12.300 --> 00:11:14.310
running out the sin of worry.
271
00:11:14.310 --> 00:11:17.190
Because Brother Hagin talked
about that through his,
272
00:11:17.190 --> 00:11:18.780
his mother and his grandmother.
273
00:11:18.780 --> 00:11:20.730
he said they were world champion warriors
274
00:11:20.730 --> 00:11:22.710
and they taught him to worry.
275
00:11:22.710 --> 00:11:24.240
And so he was a worrier.
276
00:11:24.240 --> 00:11:25.860
He said, I didn't know what was wrong
277
00:11:25.860 --> 00:11:27.450
with me on my deathbed.
278
00:11:27.450 --> 00:11:29.940
He said I was worrying
myself half to death.
279
00:11:29.940 --> 00:11:32.940
And he said, God began dealing
280
00:11:32.940 --> 00:11:35.310
with me about the sin of worry.
281
00:11:35.310 --> 00:11:37.050
Brother Hagin also talked about
282
00:11:37.050 --> 00:11:39.765
that he was having anywhere from 5-8
283
00:11:39.765 --> 00:11:42.900
heart attacks a day laying on that deathbed.
284
00:11:42.900 --> 00:11:46.290
And he said, I would grab
hold of the headboard,
285
00:11:46.290 --> 00:11:47.310
you know the the new, the
286
00:11:47.310 --> 00:11:49.500
Posts
In that headboard.
287
00:11:49.500 --> 00:11:52.020
And he said one of those
heart attacks would come.
288
00:11:52.020 --> 00:11:55.450
And he says, I was hanging on
to that trying to stay alive.
289
00:11:55.450 --> 00:11:59.500
And he said one day he
said, God began in dealing
290
00:11:59.500 --> 00:12:00.700
with me about Matthew 6
291
00:12:00.700 --> 00:12:03.880
and said, you've got to stop the sin of worry.
292
00:12:03.880 --> 00:12:06.310
And so he said, God, I can't quit worrying.
293
00:12:06.310 --> 00:12:07.480
I've worried my whole life.
294
00:12:07.480 --> 00:12:09.880
And God wouldn't let him get by with that
295
00:12:09.880 --> 00:12:11.470
By based on the word,
296
00:12:11.470 --> 00:12:15.280
you can cast your care on me. I will take care of it.
297
00:12:15.280 --> 00:12:17.560
But you've got to get
it out of your hands.
298
00:12:17.560 --> 00:12:18.610
So one day
299
00:12:18.610 --> 00:12:20.890
after God had dealt with
him for months, he said,
300
00:12:20.890 --> 00:12:22.540
God, I commit to you.
301
00:12:22.540 --> 00:12:26.020
I choose not to worry
again. And it was a choice.
302
00:12:26.020 --> 00:12:28.480
So he committed to God,
303
00:12:28.480 --> 00:12:30.520
I'm not gonna worry about my body anymore.
304
00:12:30.520 --> 00:12:35.410
If we worry about our bodies,
we open the door to sickness.
305
00:12:35.410 --> 00:12:38.380
We think about the
condition, the symptoms.
306
00:12:38.380 --> 00:12:41.800
That doesn't mean be mindless
toward what's attacking you.
307
00:12:41.800 --> 00:12:44.500
It means that you're gonna
cast the care over on God,
308
00:12:44.500 --> 00:12:48.130
but you're still gonna exercise
your faith in what God says.
309
00:12:48.130 --> 00:12:49.840
We cast our care but not our faith.
310
00:12:49.840 --> 00:12:51.460
Nancy, when I was a young man, Denise
311
00:12:51.460 --> 00:12:53.230
and I had just gotten married
312
00:12:53.230 --> 00:12:56.200
and I thought that worrying
was being responsible.
313
00:12:56.200 --> 00:12:58.360
Right. - That if you're
not worried about anything,
314
00:12:58.360 --> 00:12:59.470
then you're being irresponsible.
315
00:12:59.470 --> 00:13:02.860
Right.
I was so eaten up with worry
316
00:13:02.860 --> 00:13:05.230
that I ended up in the hospital receiving bags
317
00:13:05.230 --> 00:13:06.430
and bags of blood
318
00:13:06.430 --> 00:13:08.650
Wow - Because I had a bleeding ulcer.
319
00:13:08.650 --> 00:13:10.810
Wow - And the doctor sat on the side of my bed,
320
00:13:10.810 --> 00:13:13.900
I was either 23 or 24, he said, Rick,
321
00:13:13.900 --> 00:13:16.120
you cannot live your life like this.
322
00:13:16.120 --> 00:13:17.740
Yeah.
And that's when I turned
323
00:13:17.740 --> 00:13:20.920
to Philippians 4:6, which says,
324
00:13:20.920 --> 00:13:22.660
Be careful for nothing.
325
00:13:22.660 --> 00:13:24.490
The Greek says, don't
worry about anything.
326
00:13:24.490 --> 00:13:27.730
That means absolutely nothing at all.
327
00:13:27.730 --> 00:13:31.840
And I remember thinking - how can you live life
328
00:13:31.840 --> 00:13:33.640
and not ever worry about anything?
329
00:13:33.640 --> 00:13:36.640
But I had to repent of worry.
330
00:13:36.640 --> 00:13:38.230
And you know what? You have to repent of it
331
00:13:38.230 --> 00:13:39.700
Because it is a sin.
332
00:13:39.700 --> 00:13:41.530
Because it's a sin.
Jesus said, don't do it.
333
00:13:41.530 --> 00:13:43.420
And anytime we do it, it's a
334
00:13:43.420 --> 00:13:45.010
Sin. And it's a habit.
335
00:13:45.010 --> 00:13:47.140
It's a bad mental habit.
336
00:13:47.140 --> 00:13:49.270
It is. It's a habit. And
you gotta break that habit.
337
00:13:49.270 --> 00:13:51.340
You have to. I wanna
talk about that habit thing
338
00:13:51.340 --> 00:13:52.810
because habit.
339
00:13:52.810 --> 00:13:56.560
Yeah. You, it's natural.
It becomes natural.
340
00:13:56.560 --> 00:14:00.430
It becomes who you are.
It's your identity.
341
00:14:00.430 --> 00:14:03.310
And breaking outta that habit,
342
00:14:03.310 --> 00:14:04.630
like you said, we have to repent.
343
00:14:04.630 --> 00:14:07.780
We have to recognize this is wrong.
344
00:14:07.780 --> 00:14:11.170
This is stealing from my life. This is affecting my
345
00:14:11.170 --> 00:14:12.170
relationships.
346
00:14:12.170 --> 00:14:13.385
And it adds nothing to your life.
347
00:14:13.385 --> 00:14:14.885
And it adds nothing to my life.
348
00:14:14.885 --> 00:14:16.060
It adds nothing. It
doesn't change anything.
349
00:14:16.060 --> 00:14:20.740
And but that repenting,
that's a big deal to see
350
00:14:20.740 --> 00:14:23.080
that I'm wrong and God - you're right.
351
00:14:23.080 --> 00:14:25.690
And there again, you
have to pay attention to
352
00:14:25.690 --> 00:14:28.180
what you're allowing yourself to think on.
353
00:14:28.180 --> 00:14:30.250
Yes. You can be thinking
on something for a week
354
00:14:30.250 --> 00:14:32.230
or two worrying about it
and not realize you're
355
00:14:32.230 --> 00:14:33.430
doing it. And it's a habit.
356
00:14:33.430 --> 00:14:35.590
Well, for me, I had to replace the worry with something
357
00:14:35.590 --> 00:14:36.640
else. - Yes you do.
358
00:14:36.640 --> 00:14:38.860
Because worry was such
a big part of my life.
359
00:14:38.860 --> 00:14:41.590
So I had to replace it
with the rest of the verse.
360
00:14:41.590 --> 00:14:43.660
But in everything, by prayer and supplication
361
00:14:43.660 --> 00:14:46.690
and thanksgiving, let your request be made known unto God.
362
00:14:46.690 --> 00:14:50.530
So when I repented of worry,
well what was I gonna do
363
00:14:50.530 --> 00:14:51.590
with that part my life?
364
00:14:51.590 --> 00:14:54.440
Because it was, that was
a big part of my life.
365
00:14:54.440 --> 00:14:56.540
I had to fill it with prayer.
366
00:14:56.540 --> 00:14:58.880
Thanksgiving, supplication. Yes.
367
00:14:58.880 --> 00:15:00.890
Yes.
I had to replace that worry
368
00:15:00.890 --> 00:15:02.270
with something positive.
369
00:15:02.270 --> 00:15:04.310
Yes.
A different way of thinking.
370
00:15:04.310 --> 00:15:07.160
Well, and the word says,
371
00:15:07.160 --> 00:15:09.620
casting all your care on him.
372
00:15:09.620 --> 00:15:11.480
What's that mean? Put it in his hands.
373
00:15:11.480 --> 00:15:13.520
Yes. - If you're not
gonna worry about something.
374
00:15:13.520 --> 00:15:16.070
'cause there's very real
situations in people's lives,
375
00:15:16.070 --> 00:15:16.903
Right? Absolutely.
376
00:15:16.903 --> 00:15:20.360
And so we're not mindless
that this needs divine help.
377
00:15:21.260 --> 00:15:24.050
It needs attention. It needs
attention. But his attention,
378
00:15:24.050 --> 00:15:26.150
not the attention of worry.
379
00:15:26.150 --> 00:15:29.900
You know when, when I was,
when I was growing up,
380
00:15:29.900 --> 00:15:31.820
I like jewelry brother Rick.
381
00:15:31.820 --> 00:15:33.110
I like, I like jewelry.
382
00:15:33.980 --> 00:15:36.290
And so one day I was about eight years old
383
00:15:36.290 --> 00:15:37.760
and the neighbors, you know,
384
00:15:37.760 --> 00:15:40.250
in our little town in southwest Oklahoma, there wasn't much
385
00:15:40.250 --> 00:15:41.900
to do as a farming community.
386
00:15:41.900 --> 00:15:44.420
And they came to my house one day
387
00:15:44.420 --> 00:15:46.580
and they said to my mom, they
said, Carolyn, we're gonna go
388
00:15:46.580 --> 00:15:48.260
to the carnival in town.
389
00:15:48.260 --> 00:15:50.780
Would Nancy like to come?
And I said, I would.
390
00:15:50.780 --> 00:15:52.670
Mother said, okay, yeah, she can go.
391
00:15:52.670 --> 00:15:55.670
And so mother gave me a quarter, 25 cents
392
00:15:55.670 --> 00:15:57.020
to spend at the Carnival war.
393
00:15:57.020 --> 00:15:58.910
I wasn't interested in a ride,
394
00:15:58.910 --> 00:16:00.320
I was interested in the jewelry
395
00:16:00.320 --> 00:16:01.370
booth. You know it was fine
396
00:16:01.370 --> 00:16:03.020
Jewelry at the carnival. Absolutely.
397
00:16:03.020 --> 00:16:05.030
You know, it was fine
jewelry, find jewelry.
398
00:16:05.030 --> 00:16:07.400
So I went up to that, that jewelry booth,
399
00:16:07.400 --> 00:16:08.810
and I laid my quarter up there
400
00:16:08.810 --> 00:16:10.460
and I said to the man, I have a
401
00:16:10.460 --> 00:16:11.810
quarter, what will that get me?
402
00:16:11.810 --> 00:16:13.970
Just whatever will get
me. That's what I want.
403
00:16:13.970 --> 00:16:17.060
And he, you know, unrolled off his spool
404
00:16:17.060 --> 00:16:18.860
a chain, a necklace
405
00:16:18.860 --> 00:16:21.260
and for necklace and put a charm on it.
406
00:16:21.260 --> 00:16:24.650
Oh, I loved that thing. I wore
it all day. I slept in it.
407
00:16:24.650 --> 00:16:26.930
You know, I didn't take
it off for weeks, but
408
00:16:26.930 --> 00:16:29.600
because it was so fine,
the links were so fine,
409
00:16:29.600 --> 00:16:30.650
they got knotted up.
410
00:16:30.650 --> 00:16:32.930
And one day I was, I had taken it off
411
00:16:32.930 --> 00:16:34.580
and I was trying to get the knots out
412
00:16:34.580 --> 00:16:36.680
and my way of getting 'em out was pull on
413
00:16:36.680 --> 00:16:38.218
that chain And you destroyed it.
414
00:16:38.218 --> 00:16:39.650
So I was tightening it.
415
00:16:39.650 --> 00:16:41.690
So mother walked in in the midst of that
416
00:16:41.690 --> 00:16:42.860
and she said, what are you doing?
417
00:16:42.860 --> 00:16:44.630
And I said, I'm getting the knots out.
418
00:16:44.630 --> 00:16:46.070
She said, that's not getting them out.
419
00:16:46.070 --> 00:16:48.020
That's putting them in worry is not
420
00:16:48.020 --> 00:16:49.475
fixing it, it's making it worse.
421
00:16:49.475 --> 00:16:51.050
That is a great example.
422
00:16:51.050 --> 00:16:54.770
And so she said, if you will
hand it to me, I'll fix it.
423
00:16:54.770 --> 00:16:58.250
So she took a straight pen
and she, little by little,
424
00:16:58.250 --> 00:17:01.670
and I probably had like eight
to 10 knots in this chain.
425
00:17:01.670 --> 00:17:04.070
And she worked 'em loose one at a time.
426
00:17:04.070 --> 00:17:07.250
And I saw her working on
the very last one, you know,
427
00:17:07.250 --> 00:17:08.990
and I saw that it was coming loose
428
00:17:08.990 --> 00:17:10.460
and I wanted to finish it.
429
00:17:10.460 --> 00:17:12.860
I was so excited. I, you know,
when you're a kid, you want
430
00:17:12.860 --> 00:17:13.940
to be part of the fix.
431
00:17:13.940 --> 00:17:15.830
Right? Right.
So I wanted to finish it.
432
00:17:15.830 --> 00:17:18.620
I took it back and I said,
give it to me, I'll finish it.
433
00:17:18.620 --> 00:17:19.730
And so I took it back
434
00:17:19.730 --> 00:17:22.465
and my way of fixing it was jerking on it.
435
00:17:22.465 --> 00:17:25.160
Yes. - And so she in discuss, just stood there
436
00:17:25.160 --> 00:17:27.710
and watched me put a knot back in it
437
00:17:27.710 --> 00:17:29.960
because I was fixing it the wrong way.
438
00:17:29.960 --> 00:17:31.070
I thought I was fixing
439
00:17:31.070 --> 00:17:31.903
It. Yes.
440
00:17:31.903 --> 00:17:34.760
And so she watched me
get the knot back in it,
441
00:17:34.760 --> 00:17:36.530
and she handed, she put out her hand
442
00:17:36.530 --> 00:17:39.410
and she said, if you
will put it in my hand
443
00:17:39.410 --> 00:17:42.440
and leave it there, I can finish it.
444
00:17:42.440 --> 00:17:45.200
But if you're gonna take
it back, I can't finish it.
445
00:17:45.200 --> 00:17:47.210
And that's what it means when God says,
446
00:17:47.210 --> 00:17:50.490
casting all your care in my hands
447
00:17:50.490 --> 00:17:52.680
and I'll work on it.
448
00:17:52.680 --> 00:17:54.930
How do you know if it's back in your
449
00:17:54.930 --> 00:17:56.250
hands and out of his hands?
450
00:17:56.250 --> 00:17:57.450
Worry is a sign
451
00:17:57.450 --> 00:17:59.670
you've taken it back out of his hands
452
00:17:59.670 --> 00:18:01.410
and put it into your hands.
453
00:18:01.410 --> 00:18:04.140
And worry is a bad habit.
454
00:18:04.140 --> 00:18:05.610
You're putting a knot back in it.
455
00:18:05.610 --> 00:18:07.320
You're putting a knot back in it.
456
00:18:07.320 --> 00:18:11.130
Listen, all we are good at
doing in ourselves is putting
457
00:18:11.130 --> 00:18:12.330
knots in our life.
458
00:18:13.320 --> 00:18:17.040
If we just let him go to
work, he get his power,
459
00:18:17.040 --> 00:18:18.570
his ability undoes it.
460
00:18:18.570 --> 00:18:22.350
Now, if we put the habit
of worry in our life,
461
00:18:22.350 --> 00:18:23.910
the devil will energize it.
462
00:18:23.910 --> 00:18:25.560
He can't make us worry.
463
00:18:25.560 --> 00:18:27.540
But if we put a bad habit in place,
464
00:18:27.540 --> 00:18:29.970
he will certainly energize
that and it will torment you.
465
00:18:29.970 --> 00:18:32.070
I think that is one of
the best illustrations
466
00:18:32.070 --> 00:18:33.420
I've ever heard in my life.
467
00:18:33.420 --> 00:18:35.850
Well, going back to what Dad Hagin said,
468
00:18:35.850 --> 00:18:37.980
remember on the deathbed he was having 5-8
469
00:18:37.980 --> 00:18:39.180
heart attacks a day
470
00:18:39.180 --> 00:18:41.460
and God had been dealing
with him, you've got
471
00:18:41.460 --> 00:18:43.230
to get rid of this sin of worry.
472
00:18:43.230 --> 00:18:45.810
He said he had worn all the varnish off
473
00:18:45.810 --> 00:18:48.480
that headboard trying
to hang on in the midst
474
00:18:48.480 --> 00:18:50.880
of a heart attack to stay alive.
475
00:18:50.880 --> 00:18:53.280
Oh, he was worried he was gonna die.
476
00:18:53.280 --> 00:18:56.340
Well, wouldn't you naturally have that response?
477
00:18:56.340 --> 00:18:57.960
Oh yeah.
And he said, I held on
478
00:18:57.960 --> 00:19:00.030
and he said, once I committed to God,
479
00:19:00.030 --> 00:19:02.640
God I'll never worry again.
480
00:19:02.640 --> 00:19:05.610
And he said right after
that he had a heart attack.
481
00:19:05.610 --> 00:19:08.100
And he said, I went to grab hold.
482
00:19:08.100 --> 00:19:12.060
And he said, I realize now,
see, this is the skill of,
483
00:19:12.060 --> 00:19:13.650
this is the skill of renewed mind.
484
00:19:13.650 --> 00:19:16.740
He says, I recognized that me hold going
485
00:19:16.740 --> 00:19:19.320
to hold on was an act of worry.
486
00:19:19.320 --> 00:19:21.150
Yeah. Worrying about dying. Yeah.
487
00:19:21.150 --> 00:19:23.850
And he said, so I let go that day.
488
00:19:23.850 --> 00:19:26.430
And he said, I won't even hold on.
489
00:19:26.430 --> 00:19:29.280
I'm not going to worry and
try to hang on to life.
490
00:19:29.280 --> 00:19:30.810
And he said, I let go of it.
491
00:19:30.810 --> 00:19:33.690
And he said, I never had
another heart attack on
492
00:19:33.690 --> 00:19:36.060
that deathbed after I let go,
493
00:19:36.060 --> 00:19:38.700
after he got rid of that action of worry.
494
00:19:38.700 --> 00:19:41.280
Wow. The worry was keeping it open.
495
00:19:41.280 --> 00:19:43.170
Worst it was the open door
496
00:19:43.170 --> 00:19:44.970
to that heart attack his life. Exactly.
497
00:19:44.970 --> 00:19:47.700
Now, in the last minute,
how does that translate
498
00:19:47.700 --> 00:19:49.470
to our friends at home that are worried?
499
00:19:49.470 --> 00:19:51.600
First of all, you
have to have the skill;
500
00:19:51.600 --> 00:19:54.515
he recognized an action of worry.
501
00:19:54.515 --> 00:19:57.210
Calling on calling your children all the time.
502
00:19:57.210 --> 00:19:59.130
Where are you at? What are you doing?
503
00:19:59.130 --> 00:20:00.900
Yes, we should be responsible parents.
504
00:20:00.900 --> 00:20:03.690
But are you doing it based on fear?
505
00:20:03.690 --> 00:20:05.880
Anything that comes
out of a place of fear,
506
00:20:05.880 --> 00:20:09.090
worry is the offspring of fear.
507
00:20:09.090 --> 00:20:11.910
And you have to learn to recognize
508
00:20:11.910 --> 00:20:15.480
and so much of the time, brother Rick, fear has become a way
509
00:20:15.480 --> 00:20:19.410
of life that they don't even
recognize that it's operating.
510
00:20:19.410 --> 00:20:20.940
And so that's the 1st key
511
00:20:20.940 --> 00:20:23.520
to running worry out is - recognize
512
00:20:23.520 --> 00:20:26.250
what is not faith and what is fear.
513
00:20:26.250 --> 00:20:27.600
And you have to answer it.
514
00:20:27.600 --> 00:20:30.090
And you say, God's not
given me the spirit of fear,
515
00:20:30.090 --> 00:20:32.640
but a power, love, and of a sound mind.
516
00:20:32.640 --> 00:20:36.210
And I refuse to have a troubled mind.
517
00:20:36.210 --> 00:20:38.190
How do you know if you're worrying?
518
00:20:38.190 --> 00:20:40.680
Any thought that that
doesn't arrive you at peace
519
00:20:40.680 --> 00:20:42.660
and joy? You're to cast down
520
00:20:43.590 --> 00:20:44.590
Nancy.
521
00:20:44.590 --> 00:20:45.423
This is tremendous.
522
00:20:45.423 --> 00:20:47.830
It's listen, everyone has a mind
523
00:20:47.830 --> 00:20:49.750
and we wanna have a mind we can live with.
524
00:20:49.750 --> 00:20:51.880
And I like what you
said earlier yesterday.
525
00:20:51.880 --> 00:20:54.550
You said, everywhere you go,
you take your mind with, you
526
00:20:54.550 --> 00:20:55.570
Can't get away from it.
527
00:20:55.570 --> 00:20:57.940
So you better, you better
get a grip on your mind.
528
00:20:57.940 --> 00:21:00.220
This is so good.
529
00:21:00.220 --> 00:21:02.140
And when we come back tomorrow,
530
00:21:02.140 --> 00:21:04.060
we're gonna pick up right here,
531
00:21:04.060 --> 00:21:05.860
but we'll be back in just a moment.
532
00:21:13.630 --> 00:21:15.640
Someone asked the question, Brother Rick,
533
00:21:15.640 --> 00:21:19.510
what is the difference between a healing and a miracle?
534
00:21:19.510 --> 00:21:21.400
Well, they're not the same thing.
535
00:21:21.400 --> 00:21:24.865
In fact, if you read 1 Corinthians 12:9,
536
00:21:24.865 --> 00:21:26.710
it lists the gifts of healing.
537
00:21:26.710 --> 00:21:30.130
And then in the next verse,
it lists the gift of miracles.
538
00:21:30.130 --> 00:21:32.890
So obviously they're not the same thing.
539
00:21:32.890 --> 00:21:37.030
A miracle is something that
takes place instantaneously.
540
00:21:37.030 --> 00:21:41.470
It is miraculous. It overrides
the laws of human nature.
541
00:21:41.470 --> 00:21:43.120
God does in one moment
542
00:21:43.120 --> 00:21:45.640
what normally would take
a long time to be done.
543
00:21:45.640 --> 00:21:49.000
But the word healing is from the Greek word, iaomai,
544
00:21:49.000 --> 00:21:51.190
which is the same word which was used in Greek
545
00:21:51.190 --> 00:21:53.140
to describe a physical doctor.
546
00:21:53.140 --> 00:21:54.490
So you have to think about a doctor.
547
00:21:54.490 --> 00:21:57.100
If you go to the doctor, he gives you medication,
548
00:21:57.100 --> 00:21:59.830
but you don't expect the medication to instantly heal you.
549
00:21:59.830 --> 00:22:03.370
But you believe that if you
keep taking the medication
550
00:22:03.370 --> 00:22:05.440
progressively over a period of time,
551
00:22:05.440 --> 00:22:08.440
it will reverse your condition
and you'll become well.
552
00:22:08.440 --> 00:22:12.460
So a healing is a divine
power which heals over a
553
00:22:12.460 --> 00:22:13.840
period of time.
554
00:22:13.840 --> 00:22:17.680
So a miracle is instantaneous,
it overrides nature,
555
00:22:17.680 --> 00:22:21.400
and a healing is something which miraculously occurs over a
556
00:22:21.400 --> 00:22:22.840
period of time.
557
00:22:23.860 --> 00:22:27.820
2nd Timothy 1:7 says, God has not given us a spirit
558
00:22:27.820 --> 00:22:32.020
of fear, but of power and of love, and of a sound mind.
559
00:22:32.020 --> 00:22:35.920
For believers, this means
peace should be a lifestyle.
560
00:22:35.920 --> 00:22:39.040
We must fill our mind and
spirit with the word of God
561
00:22:39.040 --> 00:22:42.040
and allow it to dictate the way we live.
562
00:22:42.040 --> 00:22:44.440

588
00:24:01.520 --> 00:24:04.490
Hey friends, this is Rick
Renner, and guess where I am.
589
00:24:04.490 --> 00:24:08.540
I'm seated in the foyer of the
Tulsa Ministry headquarters.
590
00:24:08.540 --> 00:24:10.220
And I love this foyer.
591
00:24:10.220 --> 00:24:12.590
First of all, when you come
in here immediately you
592
00:24:12.590 --> 00:24:14.180
feel excellence.
593
00:24:14.180 --> 00:24:15.440
We wanted it to be beautiful,
594
00:24:15.440 --> 00:24:17.060
but we didn't spend a lot of money to do it
595
00:24:17.060 --> 00:24:20.150
because we're very careful with the funds that we receive.
596
00:24:20.150 --> 00:24:22.700
But the reason I love this foyer is
597
00:24:22.700 --> 00:24:25.010
because of what's on the walls
598
00:24:25.010 --> 00:24:27.020
and on the wall behind the camera
599
00:24:27.020 --> 00:24:30.290
and right over here, there are big displays of letters
600
00:24:30.290 --> 00:24:34.130
which we received from Russian viewers in the early years
601
00:24:34.130 --> 00:24:37.040
when we were getting so much mail,
602
00:24:37.040 --> 00:24:40.250
we stopped counting the mail by the pieces
603
00:24:40.250 --> 00:24:43.220
and started counting the mail by the tons.
604
00:24:43.220 --> 00:24:47.000
I am not exaggerating when
I tell you that we received
605
00:24:47.000 --> 00:24:50.960
between 80 and 100 tons
606
00:24:50.960 --> 00:24:54.920
of mail from people that
were reaching out to us,
607
00:24:54.920 --> 00:24:57.115
and we answered every single letter.
608
00:24:57.115 --> 00:24:58.730
And you know, to answer
every letter, you gotta pay
609
00:24:58.730 --> 00:25:01.670
for stationary, you
gotta pay for envelopes,
610
00:25:01.670 --> 00:25:02.780
you gotta pay for stamps.
611
00:25:02.780 --> 00:25:05.210
People don't think about
what it costs to answer
612
00:25:05.210 --> 00:25:06.560
that kind of mail.
613
00:25:06.560 --> 00:25:09.050
But my friends, it was a
massive amount of money just
614
00:25:09.050 --> 00:25:10.550
to respond to that mail.
615
00:25:10.550 --> 00:25:13.520
But we did it because of our partners.
616
00:25:13.520 --> 00:25:15.590
And now from this facility,
617
00:25:15.590 --> 00:25:17.480
we've taken ministry to the next level.
618
00:25:17.480 --> 00:25:20.090
We're not just reaching Russia, we're reaching
619
00:25:20.090 --> 00:25:24.380
around the planet with television and all kinds of media.
620
00:25:24.380 --> 00:25:27.830
And this office in
Tulsa responds to people
621
00:25:27.830 --> 00:25:31.100
that are reaching out to
us from around the world.
622
00:25:31.100 --> 00:25:33.410
And because we have this
facility, we're able
623
00:25:33.410 --> 00:25:36.980
to do this professionally and excellently.
624
00:25:36.980 --> 00:25:39.710
And I want to say thank you for helping us
625
00:25:39.710 --> 00:25:41.750
to purchase this facility.
626
00:25:41.750 --> 00:25:43.880
And if you're not already a
member of our giving team,
627
00:25:43.880 --> 00:25:46.340
please pray about being a part
628
00:25:46.340 --> 00:25:48.380
of the Ministry Expansion Project.
629
00:25:53.425 --> 00:25:54.920
Well, this has really been good.
630
00:25:54.920 --> 00:25:56.180
Today we've been talking about how
631
00:25:56.180 --> 00:25:59.120
to get the knots out of your life.
632
00:25:59.120 --> 00:26:02.180
We're talking about fear, worry, anxiety,
633
00:26:02.180 --> 00:26:04.520
and those things really are hindrances
634
00:26:04.520 --> 00:26:07.700
to you receiving your
health and your healing.
635
00:26:07.700 --> 00:26:09.680
And my friends, we want you
to get the whole series,
636
00:26:09.680 --> 00:26:11.510
which is called, The Divine Healer.
637
00:26:11.510 --> 00:26:14.150
It's me, Denise, and Nancy Dufresne
638
00:26:14.150 --> 00:26:15.890
and we're so blessed to be with Nancy.
639
00:26:15.890 --> 00:26:18.800
And we want you to get the
study guide that goes with it.
640
00:26:18.800 --> 00:26:21.050
And please get Nancy's book,
641
00:26:21.050 --> 00:26:23.330
which is called The Healer Divine.
642
00:26:23.330 --> 00:26:25.520
It is just tremendous.
643
00:26:25.520 --> 00:26:28.220
But friend, God has so much for you,
644
00:26:28.220 --> 00:26:32.030
but for his blessings to really be released in your life,
645
00:26:32.030 --> 00:26:35.840
you've gotta get your mind into alignment with your spirit.
646
00:26:35.840 --> 00:26:38.570
You're filled with every good thing.
647
00:26:38.570 --> 00:26:40.490
When the Holy Spirit came into you at the new birth,
648
00:26:40.490 --> 00:26:42.080
he brought health, he brought healing,
649
00:26:42.080 --> 00:26:46.560
he brought everything you need, but your mind can block it.
650
00:26:46.560 --> 00:26:49.530
So you gotta get your mind
into agreement with the truth,
651
00:26:49.530 --> 00:26:53.220
and it opens the door for
all those good things in you
652
00:26:53.220 --> 00:26:55.530
to begin to flow into your life.
653
00:26:55.530 --> 00:26:57.750
And that's what we're
talking about this week.
654
00:26:57.750 --> 00:27:00.540
But please, if you wanna
order these things, go online
655
00:27:00.540 --> 00:27:03.480
or give us a call and let
us know how to pray for you.
656
00:27:03.480 --> 00:27:06.030
And we are gonna pray for you right now.
657
00:27:06.030 --> 00:27:09.300
Father Denise and I and
Nancy, together, we pray
658
00:27:09.300 --> 00:27:12.420
that you help our friend
get all the knots out
659
00:27:12.420 --> 00:27:14.940
of their life, to get rid
of the worry and the fret
660
00:27:14.940 --> 00:27:18.330
and the anxiety, and to put
everything in your hands.
661
00:27:18.330 --> 00:27:19.530
Lord, you can deal with it.
662
00:27:19.530 --> 00:27:23.160
You can get rid of all the
knots. We thank you for that.
663
00:27:23.160 --> 00:27:28.115
We can cast our care on
you. In Jesus' name, amen.
664
00:27:28.115 --> 00:27:29.580
Amen.
We'll see you tomorrow.
665
00:27:29.580 --> 00:27:32.400
But remember, Ecclesiastes 8:4 says, "Where the word
666
00:27:32.400 --> 00:27:35.280
of a king is, there is power."
667
00:27:35.280 --> 00:27:37.530
If you've never received
Jesus as your Savior
668
00:27:37.530 --> 00:27:41.220
and Lord, now is the time for
you to experience a new life
669
00:27:41.220 --> 00:27:42.870
Jesus has to give you.
670
00:27:42.870 --> 00:27:45.660
Pray this prayer with me right now; Lord,
671
00:27:45.660 --> 00:27:49.020
I repent of my sin and receive you as my Savior
672
00:27:49.020 --> 00:27:53.610
and Lord. Wash away my sin and make me completely new.
673
00:27:53.610 --> 00:27:56.790
I thank you that my sin is removed
674
00:27:56.790 --> 00:28:01.590
and Satan no longer has any
right to lay claim on me.
675
00:28:01.590 --> 00:28:04.920
I faithfully promise that
I will serve you as my Lord
676
00:28:04.920 --> 00:28:07.380
for the rest of my life. Amen.
677
00:28:08.250 --> 00:28:10.860
If you just prayed the
prayer of salvation with us,
678
00:28:10.860 --> 00:28:12.570
would you please let us know by going
679
00:28:12.570 --> 00:28:14.940
