<v ->This program is made possible by the giving</v>

2
00:00:03.900 --> 00:00:07.920
of the God called partners of Renner Ministries.

3
00:00:07.920 --> 00:00:11.190
Get ready for a teaching
that feeds your spirit

4
00:00:11.190 --> 00:00:12.990
and your mind

5
00:00:12.990 --> 00:00:16.710
where the word is the
anchor in uncertain times.

6
00:00:16.710 --> 00:00:20.010
And doctrine doesn't bend to culture.

7
00:00:20.010 --> 00:00:21.450
We keep it simple,

8
00:00:21.450 --> 00:00:26.040
but dive deep revealing a
truth that strengthens us,

9
00:00:26.880 --> 00:00:28.770
a love that emboldens,

10
00:00:29.910 --> 00:00:31.620
and a mission that touches the

11
00:00:31.620 --> 00:00:35.220
world. Let's join

12
00:00:35.220 --> 00:00:36.220
Rick Renner.

13
00:00:38.700 --> 00:00:40.080
Welcome to today's program.

14
00:00:40.080 --> 00:00:42.090
My name is Rick Renner

15
00:00:42.090 --> 00:00:45.240
and I wanna say thank you
for letting me come right to

16
00:00:45.240 --> 00:00:46.440
where you are.

17
00:00:46.440 --> 00:00:49.470
And today we're gonna return
to our brand new series,

18
00:00:49.470 --> 00:00:52.920
which is called, How to Stay in a Place of Faith.

19
00:00:52.920 --> 00:00:55.440
And we're offering you a
series by that same title.

20
00:00:55.440 --> 00:00:58.590
It's 10 parts called, How to
Stay in a Place of Faith.

21
00:00:58.590 --> 00:00:59.910
You need this series

22
00:00:59.910 --> 00:01:02.700
because if God has told
you to do anything,

23
00:01:02.700 --> 00:01:05.610
you've gotta know how to
stay in that place of faith

24
00:01:05.610 --> 00:01:07.440
until you see the manifestation.

25
00:01:07.440 --> 00:01:08.880
And that's what I'm teaching.

26
00:01:08.880 --> 00:01:11.070
And it comes with a wonderful study guide.

27
00:01:11.070 --> 00:01:13.860
And we're also offering you now my book,

28
00:01:13.860 --> 00:01:17.730
which is called Dream Thieves - Overcoming Obstacles

29
00:01:17.730 --> 00:01:20.460
to fulfill Your Dreams.

30
00:01:20.460 --> 00:01:22.890
Anytime you set out to do something

31
00:01:22.890 --> 00:01:24.420
or to fulfill a dream,

32
00:01:24.420 --> 00:01:27.930
you can be sure there are
roadblocks along the way

33
00:01:27.930 --> 00:01:29.310
that will try to stop you.

34
00:01:29.310 --> 00:01:32.430
And that's why you need to
know how to overcome obstacles

35
00:01:32.430 --> 00:01:34.620
to fulfill your dreams.

36
00:01:34.620 --> 00:01:36.330
And this book is called Dream Thieves.

37
00:01:36.330 --> 00:01:37.860
And today I'm gonna be
talking to you about some

38
00:01:37.860 --> 00:01:41.250
of the dream thieves that we
have to deal with in life.

39
00:01:41.250 --> 00:01:43.350
But hey, if you need
prayer, would you call us?

40
00:01:43.350 --> 00:01:44.790
We wanna pray for you.

41
00:01:44.790 --> 00:01:48.510
Our team is waiting to
receive your call right now.

42
00:01:48.510 --> 00:01:49.890
If you've ever reached out to us

43
00:01:49.890 --> 00:01:52.680
before, you know that when
you call us for prayer,

44
00:01:52.680 --> 00:01:55.530
you really get prayed for.

45
00:01:55.530 --> 00:01:58.140
And one of my favorite
things is to walk through

46
00:01:58.140 --> 00:02:00.450
that particular department of our ministry

47
00:02:00.450 --> 00:02:04.080
and just to hear the roar
of people praying for those

48
00:02:04.080 --> 00:02:05.490
that have reached out to us.

49
00:02:05.490 --> 00:02:09.090
And we would love to add our roar in prayer for you as well.

50
00:02:09.090 --> 00:02:12.510
We will really fervently
pray and God will hear us

51
00:02:12.510 --> 00:02:15.990
and God will do what needs to be done.

52
00:02:15.990 --> 00:02:18.330
If you're more comfortable
with writing an email,

53
00:02:18.330 --> 00:02:19.620
then send us an email.

54
00:02:19.620 --> 00:02:22.830
And as soon as we hear from you, we're going to really begin

55
00:02:22.830 --> 00:02:23.880
to pray for you.

56
00:02:23.880 --> 00:02:26.310
And we believe there's a miracle

57
00:02:26.310 --> 00:02:29.760
and an answer with your name
on it, just waiting for you

58
00:02:29.760 --> 00:02:33.900
to ask and God will do
what needs to be done.

59
00:02:33.900 --> 00:02:35.820
But reach for your Bible.

60
00:02:35.820 --> 00:02:38.700
And today we're gonna return to Hebrews 10:

61
00:02:38.700 --> 00:02:39.780
23.

62
00:02:39.780 --> 00:02:42.090
And very, very quickly
we're going to review

63
00:02:42.090 --> 00:02:43.500
what we covered yesterday.

64
00:02:43.500 --> 00:02:46.980
And we saw yesterday the
writer of Hebrews was writing

65
00:02:46.980 --> 00:02:48.780
to a group of Jewish believers

66
00:02:48.780 --> 00:02:50.820
who were very discouraged in their faith.

67
00:02:50.820 --> 00:02:53.070
They were waiting for
some things that happened

68
00:02:53.070 --> 00:02:55.680
that have not happened, and
they have waited and waited

69
00:02:55.680 --> 00:02:56.760
and waited and waited.

70
00:02:56.760 --> 00:03:00.160
And they're attempted to
think, well, maybe I'm wrong.

71
00:03:00.160 --> 00:03:02.380
I've been waiting, I've
been believing God has

72
00:03:02.380 --> 00:03:03.640
had time to move.

73
00:03:03.640 --> 00:03:07.060
Maybe I just need to let go
of what I've been believing.

74
00:03:07.060 --> 00:03:08.410
So now he writes to them

75
00:03:08.410 --> 00:03:11.440
and he says in Hebrews 10:23,

76
00:03:11.440 --> 00:03:14.230
Let us hold fast the confession

77
00:03:14.230 --> 00:03:16.630
of our faith without wavering.

78
00:03:16.630 --> 00:03:18.490
Now we're gonna go next to verse 24.

79
00:03:18.490 --> 00:03:22.780
But very quickly let's review
what he has said in verse 23.

80
00:03:22.780 --> 00:03:25.600
First of all, he says, let us hold fast.

81
00:03:25.600 --> 00:03:26.980
And we saw yesterday

82
00:03:26.980 --> 00:03:31.600
that the word hold fast in
Greek is the word katechō.

83
00:03:32.500 --> 00:03:35.020
The word kat is in the Greek word kato,

84
00:03:35.020 --> 00:03:38.770
it means down. The word, echo means to have to hold

85
00:03:38.770 --> 00:03:40.180
or to possess.

86
00:03:40.180 --> 00:03:43.300
But when you compound these
two words into a single word,

87
00:03:43.300 --> 00:03:45.910
it describes somebody who has something

88
00:03:45.910 --> 00:03:48.520
and so that no one will
take it away from them

89
00:03:48.520 --> 00:03:51.790
they're holding it down,
they're holding it tight,

90
00:03:51.790 --> 00:03:53.230
they're holding it fast,

91
00:03:53.230 --> 00:03:55.960
they're putting all
their weight on top of it

92
00:03:55.960 --> 00:03:58.840
so no one can pull it away from them.

93
00:03:58.840 --> 00:04:02.560
And this tells us that in
life things will come to try

94
00:04:02.560 --> 00:04:04.840
to take the promise away from you.

95
00:04:04.840 --> 00:04:06.700
It will try to steal your hope.

96
00:04:06.700 --> 00:04:08.590
And you know what I have found in life?

97
00:04:08.590 --> 00:04:12.220
There are six primary dream thieves that come

98
00:04:12.220 --> 00:04:16.000
to steal the promise or to steal what we are dreaming for.

99
00:04:16.000 --> 00:04:18.700
Dream Thief No.1, are you ready for this?

100
00:04:18.700 --> 00:04:23.700
Dream Thief No.1 is time - time.

101
00:04:23.770 --> 00:04:27.070
And we're told in Proverbs 13:12,

102
00:04:27.070 --> 00:04:31.030
hope deferred makes the heart sick.

103
00:04:31.030 --> 00:04:34.600
And when you've been believing
and believing and believing

104
00:04:34.600 --> 00:04:36.490
and believing and waiting
and waiting and waiting

105
00:04:36.490 --> 00:04:39.820
and waiting, time has a way
of gnawing a away at you

106
00:04:39.820 --> 00:04:43.960
and time has a voice and time
will begin to speak to you

107
00:04:43.960 --> 00:04:47.830
and time will say, Hey, if
God was going to do this,

108
00:04:47.830 --> 00:04:50.680
surely he would've done it by now.

109
00:04:50.680 --> 00:04:53.230
Maybe you've been believing
wrong, maybe you just need

110
00:04:53.230 --> 00:04:57.310
to let loose because
this is taking too long.

111
00:04:57.310 --> 00:04:59.950
And if you listen to the voice of time,

112
00:04:59.950 --> 00:05:04.300
time will steal your promise
or your dream from you.

113
00:05:04.300 --> 00:05:08.590
But Dream Thief No.2 are your friends.

114
00:05:09.430 --> 00:05:11.590
Your friends love you

115
00:05:11.590 --> 00:05:14.080
and your friends are concerned about you.

116
00:05:14.080 --> 00:05:15.400
And when they see you waiting

117
00:05:15.400 --> 00:05:18.280
and waiting, standing in faith, believing

118
00:05:18.280 --> 00:05:21.400
and believing, they may say, you know,

119
00:05:21.400 --> 00:05:23.440
maybe this is not going to happen.

120
00:05:23.440 --> 00:05:25.510
You know, we're concerned about you.

121
00:05:25.510 --> 00:05:27.820
Maybe you just need to let loose of this

122
00:05:27.820 --> 00:05:29.680
and move on with life.

123
00:05:29.680 --> 00:05:32.050
They love you, they're
really concerned about you.

124
00:05:32.050 --> 00:05:34.690
But if you listen to the
voice of your friends,

125
00:05:34.690 --> 00:05:39.130
if they're not the right friends, they may talk you out of

126
00:05:39.130 --> 00:05:42.070
what God has promised you and
what you've been waiting for.

127
00:05:42.070 --> 00:05:45.190
But if you make it beyond your friends,

128
00:05:45.190 --> 00:05:46.540
then there's Dream Thief

129
00:05:46.540 --> 00:05:50.500
No.3 - are you ready for this - your family.

130
00:05:50.500 --> 00:05:54.880
Well, if your friends have an authoritative voice,

131
00:05:54.880 --> 00:05:57.260
how much greater is the voice of your family?

132
00:05:57.260 --> 00:05:59.780
Your family really, really loves you

133
00:05:59.780 --> 00:06:01.220
and they're concerned about you.

134
00:06:01.220 --> 00:06:04.670
And your family may say,
we're so concerned about you.

135
00:06:04.670 --> 00:06:06.080
We know you've been believing God

136
00:06:06.080 --> 00:06:08.060
and you've been waiting for
this thing to come to pass.

137
00:06:08.060 --> 00:06:10.220
But you know, you could have
moved on with your life.

138
00:06:10.220 --> 00:06:11.660
You could have done so much more,

139
00:06:11.660 --> 00:06:14.780
but you've just been
stuck in this one spot.

140
00:06:14.780 --> 00:06:18.770
Maybe you just need to kiss it goodbye and move on.

141
00:06:18.770 --> 00:06:21.710
And the voice of our
family is very strong.

142
00:06:21.710 --> 00:06:22.820
I thank God that Denise

143
00:06:22.820 --> 00:06:24.440
and I always had family members

144
00:06:24.440 --> 00:06:26.300
that encouraged us in our faith,

145
00:06:26.300 --> 00:06:28.430
but everyone does not have that.

146
00:06:28.430 --> 00:06:31.370
But if you make it
beyond the voice of time

147
00:06:31.370 --> 00:06:33.140
and make it beyond the
voice of your friends

148
00:06:33.140 --> 00:06:35.900
and make it beyond the
voice of your family,

149
00:06:35.900 --> 00:06:40.220
then you've got Dream Thief No.4, which is the voice

150
00:06:40.220 --> 00:06:42.320
of the devil himself.

151
00:06:42.320 --> 00:06:45.230
And the devil will come along
and he will ridicule you.

152
00:06:45.230 --> 00:06:48.350
He will mock you. He'll
say, oh, you're so silly.

153
00:06:48.350 --> 00:06:51.770
You think you're gonna
do something for God?

154
00:06:51.770 --> 00:06:53.720
You think you're gonna stand still

155
00:06:53.720 --> 00:06:56.030
until you receive the manifestation of

156
00:06:56.030 --> 00:06:57.440
what you've been believing.

157
00:06:57.440 --> 00:06:59.990
And he will try to mock you

158
00:06:59.990 --> 00:07:02.840
until finally you've let go of that dream.

159
00:07:02.840 --> 00:07:05.840
But if you make it beyond the voice of the devil,

160
00:07:05.840 --> 00:07:07.700
then there is Dream Thief

161
00:07:07.700 --> 00:07:10.370
No.5. You say, what is Dream Thief No.5?

162
00:07:10.370 --> 00:07:12.140
Well, this is a really tough one.

163
00:07:12.140 --> 00:07:17.000
And Dream Thief No.5, is neutrality -

164
00:07:17.000 --> 00:07:21.350
neutrality. When finally you
just get so tired of waiting

165
00:07:21.350 --> 00:07:23.960
that you could care less
whether this thing happens

166
00:07:23.960 --> 00:07:26.270
or not, you just become neutral.

167
00:07:26.270 --> 00:07:28.130
And my friends, when you become neutral

168
00:07:28.130 --> 00:07:29.450
and you use your lose your fire

169
00:07:29.450 --> 00:07:32.300
and you lose your passion,
you're gonna lose your dream.

170
00:07:32.300 --> 00:07:36.650
That's why you gotta hold fast
to what you're believing for.

171
00:07:36.650 --> 00:07:39.260
But then if you make it beyond neutrality,

172
00:07:39.260 --> 00:07:42.320
there's one more dream
thief that's very serious,

173
00:07:42.320 --> 00:07:44.450
and I'm gonna talk to
you about this today,

174
00:07:44.450 --> 00:07:47.840
and that is isolation -

175
00:07:47.840 --> 00:07:51.680
isolation. When you're believing all

176
00:07:51.680 --> 00:07:56.660
by yourself, it is really tough.

177
00:07:56.660 --> 00:07:59.780
That's why we need to
have friends with faith

178
00:07:59.780 --> 00:08:01.610
to encourage us.

179
00:08:01.610 --> 00:08:03.830
That's why I always say that
if you need somebody to pray

180
00:08:03.830 --> 00:08:05.240
with you, call us.

181
00:08:05.240 --> 00:08:06.590
We will pray with you.

182
00:08:06.590 --> 00:08:10.160
It is very difficult to
be in an isolated place

183
00:08:10.160 --> 00:08:11.960
where you're trying to believe

184
00:08:11.960 --> 00:08:15.800
and do everything just by yourself and my friends,

185
00:08:15.800 --> 00:08:17.840
when you're in a place of isolation,

186
00:08:17.840 --> 00:08:22.640
you become more victimized by
the voice of time, friends,

187
00:08:22.640 --> 00:08:24.590
family, Satan, neutrality.,

188
00:08:24.590 --> 00:08:28.820
that's what happens when you're in a place of isolation.

189
00:08:28.820 --> 00:08:33.080
And these 6 Dream Thieves really will try to move you out

190
00:08:33.080 --> 00:08:36.140
of your place of faith.

191
00:08:37.220 --> 00:08:40.760
But the writer of Hebrews says in verse 23,

192
00:08:40.760 --> 00:08:43.700
you gotta hold fast - katechō,

193
00:08:43.700 --> 00:08:44.960
you gotta have it, you gotta hold it.

194
00:08:44.960 --> 00:08:46.400
You've got to embrace it.

195
00:08:46.400 --> 00:08:49.580
Wrap your arms around what God has promised and kata -

196
00:08:49.580 --> 00:08:52.970
you gotta put all your weight on top of it

197
00:08:52.970 --> 00:08:55.290
so no one can pull it away from you.

198
00:08:55.290 --> 00:08:58.890
It is a determined decision that you're never gonna release

199
00:08:58.890 --> 00:09:00.810
what God has promised to you.

200
00:09:00.810 --> 00:09:02.550
And the writer of Hebrews goes on to say,

201
00:09:02.550 --> 00:09:04.950
hold fast the confession.

202
00:09:04.950 --> 00:09:06.330
And yesterday we saw this word,

203
00:09:06.330 --> 00:09:09.510
confession is the Greek word, homologeon.

204
00:09:09.510 --> 00:09:12.510
Oh, we gotta cover this again real quick.

205
00:09:12.510 --> 00:09:17.160
It is from the Greek word homas; in English

206
00:09:17.160 --> 00:09:21.810
it's spelled like this, plus the word logion,

207
00:09:23.490 --> 00:09:26.280
which is actually a form
of the Greek word logia

208
00:09:27.120 --> 00:09:29.430
spelled like this in English.

209
00:09:29.430 --> 00:09:31.200
But when you put these two words together,

210
00:09:31.200 --> 00:09:33.600
it's not just parroting something:

211
00:09:33.600 --> 00:09:36.720
it's not just repeating something: it's the picture

212
00:09:36.720 --> 00:09:38.250
of you - homologeon.

213
00:09:38.250 --> 00:09:40.710
You're saying the same thing as someone else.

214
00:09:40.710 --> 00:09:44.310
And I gave the example yesterday of my book Dream Thieves,

215
00:09:44.310 --> 00:09:46.110
and I want to use that example again.

216
00:09:46.110 --> 00:09:48.120
These are my words.

217
00:09:48.120 --> 00:09:49.740
I wrote this book

218
00:09:49.740 --> 00:09:52.410
and if you agree with this
book, you're agreeing with me.

219
00:09:53.250 --> 00:09:55.230
And in fact, you

220
00:09:55.230 --> 00:09:57.930
and me we're getting on
the same page together.

221
00:09:57.930 --> 00:10:00.360
We see it the same way,
we feel it the same way,

222
00:10:00.360 --> 00:10:03.180
we hear it the same way
until finally our hearts.

223
00:10:03.180 --> 00:10:05.730
Well, our hearts are beating in unison,

224
00:10:05.730 --> 00:10:09.120
they're beating in
syncopation together on the

225
00:10:09.120 --> 00:10:10.740
issue of what I have written.

226
00:10:10.740 --> 00:10:14.340
The same is true about
any promise in God's word.

227
00:10:14.340 --> 00:10:17.940
God has spoken his word,
you can just parrot it,

228
00:10:17.940 --> 00:10:20.280
but that doesn't really mean you're in agreement.

229
00:10:20.280 --> 00:10:21.630
For you to get into agreement,

230
00:10:21.630 --> 00:10:23.610
it takes time.

231
00:10:23.610 --> 00:10:25.200
You've gotta deal with your flesh,

232
00:10:25.200 --> 00:10:26.310
you gotta renew your mind.

233
00:10:26.310 --> 00:10:27.330
You gotta bend your brain.

234
00:10:27.330 --> 00:10:29.520
You gotta say, Lord, I'm gonna read this,

235
00:10:29.520 --> 00:10:31.560
I'm gonna read this, I'm gonna read this.

236
00:10:31.560 --> 00:10:33.450
I'm gonna renew my mind to this until you

237
00:10:33.450 --> 00:10:35.760
and I begin to see it the same way.

238
00:10:35.760 --> 00:10:38.010
Feel it the same way our hearts begin

239
00:10:38.010 --> 00:10:40.473
to beat together on this issue.

240
00:10:40.473 --> 00:10:42.483
And when you're in that position and you

241
00:10:42.483 --> 00:10:47.310
and God are perfectly aligned on what he has promised,

242
00:10:47.310 --> 00:10:52.050
you become like a conduit through which the answer can come.

243
00:10:52.050 --> 00:10:53.940
That is just so powerful.

244
00:10:53.940 --> 00:10:55.530
And by the way, you might be in the middle of

245
00:10:55.530 --> 00:10:57.600
that process right now.

246
00:10:57.600 --> 00:10:59.100
Maybe you've been believing and believing

247
00:10:59.100 --> 00:11:01.320
and you don't know it, but God's been

248
00:11:01.320 --> 00:11:02.730
jerking you into alignment.

249
00:11:02.730 --> 00:11:05.010
You're dealing with
unbelief, you're dealing

250
00:11:05.010 --> 00:11:07.230
with fret anxiety, you're
dealing with the voices

251
00:11:07.230 --> 00:11:08.910
of all these dream thieves which has come

252
00:11:08.910 --> 00:11:10.170
to steal the dream from you.

253
00:11:10.170 --> 00:11:13.680
And in the process you've
been jerked into alignment.

254
00:11:13.680 --> 00:11:16.770
And every day you're coming
to clear and clear alignment.

255
00:11:16.770 --> 00:11:19.470
And soon like a channel, you're gonna be so clear

256
00:11:19.470 --> 00:11:23.010
and so in alignment that the answer can flow into your life.

257
00:11:23.010 --> 00:11:26.190
Oh, that is just so powerful. So don't give up.

258
00:11:26.190 --> 00:11:27.630
You're just in the process

259
00:11:27.630 --> 00:11:31.950
and on the way to receive
your manifestation.

260
00:11:31.950 --> 00:11:35.550
And in fact, verse 23 says, let us hold fast

261
00:11:35.550 --> 00:11:37.830
to the confession of our faith.

262
00:11:37.830 --> 00:11:40.080
But I told you yesterday that in Greek,

263
00:11:40.080 --> 00:11:41.520
it is actually the Greek word, elipidos.

264
00:11:44.400 --> 00:11:46.560
It is not the word faith at all.

265
00:11:46.560 --> 00:11:50.280
It is the word expectation. My friends, you need

266
00:11:50.280 --> 00:11:52.350
to hold onto what you are expecting

267
00:11:52.350 --> 00:11:54.760
and you need to continue to expect it.

268
00:11:54.760 --> 00:11:58.270
And it goes on to say in verse 23, without wavering,

269
00:11:58.270 --> 00:12:01.270
and we saw that the word wavering is the Greek word

270
00:12:02.680 --> 00:12:04.540
aklines.

271
00:12:04.540 --> 00:12:07.780
The word, klines, means to recline,

272
00:12:08.710 --> 00:12:13.270
to yield, to surrender
territory, to give up ground.

273
00:12:13.270 --> 00:12:17.350
And in fact, it is the
word for a bed, a bed.

274
00:12:18.730 --> 00:12:22.390
But when you put an 'a' on the front, it means don't yield,

275
00:12:23.230 --> 00:12:26.860
don't surrender, don't recline,

276
00:12:26.860 --> 00:12:28.360
don't yield territory.

277
00:12:28.360 --> 00:12:31.420
Don't surrender any ground or aklines,

278
00:12:31.420 --> 00:12:33.790
don't go to bed on your faith.

279
00:12:35.170 --> 00:12:36.040
Now you might say, well, why

280
00:12:36.040 --> 00:12:37.330
shouldn't I go to bed on my faith?

281
00:12:37.330 --> 00:12:38.950
I've been waiting a long time.

282
00:12:38.950 --> 00:12:41.920
And the end of verse 23
tells you the reason why:

283
00:12:41.920 --> 00:12:46.920
for he is faithful, that promised.

284
00:12:46.990 --> 00:12:48.160
God is faithful.

285
00:12:48.160 --> 00:12:51.700
And if God is promised something, he fully intends to do

286
00:12:51.700 --> 00:12:52.780
what he has promised.

287
00:12:52.780 --> 00:12:56.140
But then when we come
to verse 24, it says,

288
00:12:56.140 --> 00:12:58.120
and let us consider one another

289
00:12:59.230 --> 00:13:01.810
to provoke unto love

290
00:13:01.810 --> 00:13:05.830
and to good works. The word, consider -

291
00:13:05.830 --> 00:13:07.030
what in the world does that mean?

292
00:13:07.030 --> 00:13:09.310
Let us consider one another.

293
00:13:09.310 --> 00:13:10.990
Well, I've gotta go back to the board

294
00:13:10.990 --> 00:13:13.300
and I've gotta show you
what the Greek word is.

295
00:13:13.300 --> 00:13:16.270
The word consider in Greek is the word kata

296
00:13:18.130 --> 00:13:21.730
noao. It's a compound word.

297
00:13:21.730 --> 00:13:24.640
It's actually two Greek words. It is the word kata.

298
00:13:24.640 --> 00:13:27.090
In English, it would be spelled like this, kata.

299
00:13:27.090 --> 00:13:28.360
with the word,

300
00:13:28.360 --> 00:13:30.310
it would be spelled like this in English, noao.

301
00:13:30.310 --> 00:13:34.780
The word noao means to think. The word kata means down.

302
00:13:34.780 --> 00:13:37.060
When you compound the two
words together, it means

303
00:13:37.060 --> 00:13:39.730
to think all the way down

304
00:13:39.730 --> 00:13:42.220
or to study something
from the top all the way

305
00:13:42.220 --> 00:13:46.480
to the bottom, to fully
contemplate a matter.

306
00:13:46.480 --> 00:13:49.360
This is not just a glance
or a brief thought,

307
00:13:49.360 --> 00:13:51.730
this is really focusing on something,

308
00:13:51.730 --> 00:13:54.310
thinking about it from the
top all the way to the bottom,

309
00:13:54.310 --> 00:13:56.860
looking at every single point.

310
00:13:56.860 --> 00:14:00.130
And the verse says, we are
to consider one another.

311
00:14:00.130 --> 00:14:02.470
The word, one another, in Greek is allalos.

312
00:14:02.470 --> 00:14:04.390
It describes reciprocal action

313
00:14:04.390 --> 00:14:08.200
and now it's describing the
members of the body of Christ.

314
00:14:08.200 --> 00:14:10.330
And we are to consider one another.

315
00:14:10.330 --> 00:14:14.740
And in context it means when we see people are struggling in

316
00:14:14.740 --> 00:14:18.790
their faith and they're in a place of isolation;

317
00:14:18.790 --> 00:14:21.370
maybe they're being assaulted by the voice of time

318
00:14:21.370 --> 00:14:23.590
or the voice of their friends
or their family or Satan,

319
00:14:23.590 --> 00:14:26.830
or maybe they're just
about to become neutral

320
00:14:26.830 --> 00:14:29.380
and they're in a place of isolation.

321
00:14:29.380 --> 00:14:32.560
And you see them - rather than
just take a glance at them

322
00:14:32.560 --> 00:14:37.030
and move on, really study their condition, study them:

323
00:14:37.030 --> 00:14:38.800
kadatnoao: think about it from the

324
00:14:38.800 --> 00:14:40.300
top all the way to the bottom.

325
00:14:40.300 --> 00:14:42.460
They need you. They need your strength,

326
00:14:42.460 --> 00:14:43.870
they need your attention.

327
00:14:43.870 --> 00:14:46.390
Give them your focus.

328
00:14:46.390 --> 00:14:48.460
That's what this word consider really means,

329
00:14:48.460 --> 00:14:50.260
the Greek word, katanoao.

330
00:14:50.260 --> 00:14:54.110
And it goes on to say, let us consider - notice -

331
00:14:55.190 --> 00:14:59.570
one another to provoke unto
love and to good works.

332
00:14:59.570 --> 00:15:03.320
Well, the word, provoke, is
a very interesting word.

333
00:15:03.320 --> 00:15:05.600
The word provoke in Greek

334
00:15:05.600 --> 00:15:08.810
is the word, paroxysmos.

335
00:15:08.810 --> 00:15:12.710
It's a compound of the word, para,

336
00:15:14.570 --> 00:15:15.650
plus the word, oxysmos.

337
00:15:18.410 --> 00:15:22.550
The word para means alongside: alongside as close

338
00:15:22.550 --> 00:15:24.710
as you can get.

339
00:15:24.710 --> 00:15:27.350
It always describes
something that is parallel -

340
00:15:27.350 --> 00:15:29.690
parallel. The word, oxysmos,

341
00:15:29.690 --> 00:15:32.510
describes something that is very sharp.

342
00:15:32.510 --> 00:15:34.190
But when you compound the two words together,

343
00:15:34.190 --> 00:15:38.060
it forms the word, paraoxysmos which describes a person

344
00:15:38.060 --> 00:15:40.640
who comes - para - alongside

345
00:15:40.640 --> 00:15:43.490
or parallel to another person.

346
00:15:43.490 --> 00:15:48.200
And oxysmos, like a sharp instrument,

347
00:15:48.200 --> 00:15:50.780
he begins to provoke that person.

348
00:15:50.780 --> 00:15:53.570
And that's why in this verse
in the King James version,

349
00:15:53.570 --> 00:15:56.090
it says, let us consider
how to provoke one another

350
00:15:56.090 --> 00:15:57.530
and to love and to good works.

351
00:15:57.530 --> 00:16:00.410
But normally this is a
very, very negative word.

352
00:16:00.410 --> 00:16:02.810
And in fact, I'll take you to Acts 15

353
00:16:02.810 --> 00:16:06.740
and show you where this word
is used in a negative context.

354
00:16:06.740 --> 00:16:10.490
And in Acts 15, please go there in your Bibles,

355
00:16:10.490 --> 00:16:13.640
we find the example of the apostle Paul

356
00:16:13.640 --> 00:16:16.550
who fell into a very serious

357
00:16:16.550 --> 00:16:19.010
disagreement with a dear friend.

358
00:16:19.010 --> 00:16:21.860
And when you come to Acts 15:39,

359
00:16:21.860 --> 00:16:24.350
the Bible tells us
about Paul and Barnabas.

360
00:16:24.350 --> 00:16:26.750
These were two traveling companions,

361
00:16:26.750 --> 00:16:30.320
but they had a very serious
disagreement about Barnabas

362
00:16:30.320 --> 00:16:32.150
nephew who was John Mark.

363
00:16:32.150 --> 00:16:35.120
And the Bible tells us in verse 39:

364
00:16:35.120 --> 00:16:39.110
and the contention was so sharp between them

365
00:16:39.110 --> 00:16:42.230
that they departed asunder one from the other.

366
00:16:42.230 --> 00:16:44.510
So Barnabas took Mark and sailed unto Cyprus,

367
00:16:44.510 --> 00:16:45.620
and Paul chose Silas

368
00:16:45.620 --> 00:16:47.540
and departed being recommended

369
00:16:47.540 --> 00:16:49.160
by their brethren under the grace of God.

370
00:16:49.160 --> 00:16:52.070
But notice at the very first of verse 39, it says,

371
00:16:52.070 --> 00:16:55.730
and the contention was so sharp between them.

372
00:16:55.730 --> 00:16:58.550
Contention was so sharp, is this very word,

373
00:16:58.550 --> 00:17:03.170
paraoxysmos: they literally provoked each other

374
00:17:03.170 --> 00:17:04.640
until really they had a fight.

375
00:17:04.640 --> 00:17:06.920
I mean, they had an all out fight.

376
00:17:06.920 --> 00:17:08.330
And we can just imagine

377
00:17:08.330 --> 00:17:10.880
what must have happened in that event.

378
00:17:10.880 --> 00:17:12.170
As Paul came alongside

379
00:17:12.170 --> 00:17:14.600
and said, Barnabas, I don't want your nephew to go with us.

380
00:17:14.600 --> 00:17:16.220
The only reason he's traveling with us is

381
00:17:16.220 --> 00:17:17.660
because he is your nephew.

382
00:17:17.660 --> 00:17:20.510
And Barnabas must have said
something like, well Paul,

383
00:17:20.510 --> 00:17:21.560
you're just so prideful.

384
00:17:21.560 --> 00:17:23.120
You can't seem to admit that you need

385
00:17:23.120 --> 00:17:24.710
to have John Mark along on the trip.

386
00:17:24.710 --> 00:17:26.810
And they begin to poke and prick

387
00:17:26.810 --> 00:17:31.100
and provoke one another until
it became a major provocation.

388
00:17:31.100 --> 00:17:34.790
And the contention was so sharp between them

389
00:17:34.790 --> 00:17:36.680
that they departed from one another.

390
00:17:36.680 --> 00:17:38.210
That is the word, paraoxysmos,

391
00:17:38.210 --> 00:17:42.860
which now in Hebrews 10:24 is translated

392
00:17:42.860 --> 00:17:44.900
as the word provoke.

393
00:17:44.900 --> 00:17:47.000
So now let's look at the verse again

394
00:17:47.000 --> 00:17:49.260
and let us consider the Greek word, katanoeo,

395
00:17:49.260 --> 00:17:51.210
look at each other,

396
00:17:51.210 --> 00:17:53.520
not just take a glance at each other,

397
00:17:53.520 --> 00:17:55.500
but let's really consider one another.

398
00:17:56.490 --> 00:17:58.560
When you see that somebody's
struggling in their faith

399
00:17:58.560 --> 00:18:01.470
and they're about to give up,
you really study that person:

400
00:18:01.470 --> 00:18:04.410
see what discourages
them, study them to see

401
00:18:04.410 --> 00:18:07.470
what encourages them, figure them out

402
00:18:07.470 --> 00:18:10.110
and then, paraoxysmos: para, come along side of them,

403
00:18:10.110 --> 00:18:13.860
get in a parallel position and provoke them.

404
00:18:13.860 --> 00:18:17.340
But rather than to provoke them to anger, this verse says,

405
00:18:17.340 --> 00:18:22.200
provoke them unto love and to good works.

406
00:18:23.040 --> 00:18:25.410
You're to come alongside of that person

407
00:18:25.410 --> 00:18:28.440
and say, Hey, I know you're
attempted to give up,

408
00:18:28.440 --> 00:18:30.060
but I want to tell you something.

409
00:18:30.060 --> 00:18:31.440
There's no reason for you to give up.

410
00:18:31.440 --> 00:18:34.890
If you give up, what's gonna
happen to you in your future?

411
00:18:34.890 --> 00:18:36.810
Think of everything that God has said

412
00:18:36.810 --> 00:18:38.220
that he wants to do in your life.

413
00:18:38.220 --> 00:18:40.170
And if you walk away from it, you're going

414
00:18:40.170 --> 00:18:41.430
to forfeit all of it.

415
00:18:41.430 --> 00:18:44.040
You come alongside of that person

416
00:18:44.040 --> 00:18:46.110
and like a sharp instrument, you begin

417
00:18:46.110 --> 00:18:48.150
to poke them in a good direction.

418
00:18:48.150 --> 00:18:50.400
You begin to move them
in the right direction.

419
00:18:50.400 --> 00:18:52.890
That's what this word
provoke really means.

420
00:18:52.890 --> 00:18:56.220
Maybe you can think of
a time in your own life

421
00:18:56.220 --> 00:19:00.480
when somebody came alongside of you and said, don't give up.

422
00:19:00.480 --> 00:19:03.120
What are you doing? There's
too much on the line.

423
00:19:03.120 --> 00:19:06.690
You've already paid too great price; you can't give up now.

424
00:19:06.690 --> 00:19:10.740
And they provoked you into continue doing

425
00:19:10.740 --> 00:19:12.180
what you were supposed to do.

426
00:19:12.180 --> 00:19:14.670
That's what this word provoke means.

427
00:19:14.670 --> 00:19:17.130
And especially when we see
that people are in a place

428
00:19:17.130 --> 00:19:18.420
of isolation

429
00:19:18.420 --> 00:19:20.670
and the voice of time is speaking to them,

430
00:19:20.670 --> 00:19:22.740
their friends are speaking to their family,

431
00:19:22.740 --> 00:19:23.760
the devil himself,

432
00:19:23.760 --> 00:19:26.370
and they're just about to become neutral on this issue of

433
00:19:26.370 --> 00:19:29.610
what God has promised them, that's when they need you

434
00:19:29.610 --> 00:19:32.940
to really take a serious
look at them for you

435
00:19:32.940 --> 00:19:35.100
to come alongside of them

436
00:19:35.100 --> 00:19:37.170
and say, I'm not gonna
move away from your side

437
00:19:37.170 --> 00:19:38.580
until I've provoked you out

438
00:19:38.580 --> 00:19:42.750
of this neutrality back
into fire unto love

439
00:19:42.750 --> 00:19:44.520
and unto good works.

440
00:19:44.520 --> 00:19:46.740
Wow. And the next verse says,

441
00:19:46.740 --> 00:19:50.850
and not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together

442
00:19:50.850 --> 00:19:52.920
as the manner of some is,

443
00:19:53.970 --> 00:19:56.040
but rather exhorting one another.

444
00:19:56.040 --> 00:19:59.280
And this is where we're going
to pick up in the next program

445
00:19:59.280 --> 00:20:02.340
and it's going to be so good.

446
00:20:02.340 --> 00:20:06.630
But if you know anyone
who today is struggling

447
00:20:06.630 --> 00:20:09.510
and they're attempted
to release their faith

448
00:20:09.510 --> 00:20:13.530
or to stop believing, you need
to take a good look at them,

449
00:20:13.530 --> 00:20:16.950
really focus on them,
not just a mere glance,

450
00:20:16.950 --> 00:20:18.630
but really focus on them.

451
00:20:18.630 --> 00:20:20.970
Figure out what you need
to say, what you need

452
00:20:20.970 --> 00:20:22.080
to do to encourage them.

453
00:20:22.080 --> 00:20:25.260
And then, paraoxysmos: you need to, para, come alongside

454
00:20:25.260 --> 00:20:28.290
of them, oxysos, like a sharp instrument,

455
00:20:29.130 --> 00:20:32.220
let God use you to provoke them

456
00:20:32.220 --> 00:20:35.700
and to move them back into
love and to good works

457
00:20:35.700 --> 00:20:37.110
and to stay on fire

458
00:20:37.110 --> 00:20:41.610
and to stay committed until
they receive the manifestation

459
00:20:41.610 --> 00:20:43.980
of what God has promised them.

460
00:20:43.980 --> 00:20:46.800
I'm out of time, but I've
got more to say to you

461
00:20:46.800 --> 00:20:48.220
and then I'll be back in just a moment.

462
00:20:56.620 --> 00:20:59.110
Did the Apostle Paul really
praying tongues more than

463
00:20:59.110 --> 00:21:00.910
entire Corinthians Church?

464
00:21:00.910 --> 00:21:02.290
He sure did.

465
00:21:02.290 --> 00:21:06.490
And he tells us that in 1 Corinthians 14:18,

466
00:21:06.490 --> 00:21:08.200
where he says, I thank my God

467
00:21:08.200 --> 00:21:11.230
that I pray in tongues more than you all.

468
00:21:11.230 --> 00:21:14.950
And in Greek it is comparative, comparatively more.

469
00:21:14.950 --> 00:21:18.250
It means cumulatively if I put all of you together

470
00:21:18.250 --> 00:21:19.840
and all the tongue talking that you do,

471
00:21:19.840 --> 00:21:23.590
I pray in tongues more
than all of you combined.

472
00:21:24.460 --> 00:21:28.120
Now the reason is why did
he pray in tongue so much?

473
00:21:28.120 --> 00:21:31.960
And the answer is in 1 Corinthians 14:4 which says,

474
00:21:31.960 --> 00:21:34.990
He that prays in an unknown tongue edifies himself.

475
00:21:34.990 --> 00:21:38.020
And that word edify is an architectural term

476
00:21:38.020 --> 00:21:39.190
which means to expand.

477
00:21:39.190 --> 00:21:40.990
It's like if you wanted
to make your house bigger,

478
00:21:40.990 --> 00:21:45.370
you gotta knock the walls out
in order to expand your house.

479
00:21:45.370 --> 00:21:48.100
And Paul said, when I
pray in tongues, I begin

480
00:21:48.100 --> 00:21:49.660
to move the walls out.

481
00:21:49.660 --> 00:21:52.330
I expand my spiritual capacity

482
00:21:52.330 --> 00:21:55.120
to receive more divine revelation.

483
00:21:55.120 --> 00:21:58.000
And that explains why Paul wrote more

484
00:21:58.000 --> 00:21:59.980
of the New Testament than anyone else.

485
00:21:59.980 --> 00:22:01.750
Every time he prayed in tongues,

486
00:22:01.750 --> 00:22:04.900
he was increasing his spiritual capacity

487
00:22:04.900 --> 00:22:07.000
to receive more revelation.

488
00:22:08.260 --> 00:22:12.070
<v ->Hebrews 10:23 says, Let us hold fast the profession</v>

489
00:22:12.070 --> 00:22:13.660
of our faith without wavering

490
00:22:13.660 --> 00:22:18.490
for he is faithful that promised. Time, isolation, the enemy

491
00:22:18.490 --> 00:22:20.830
and even loved ones can steal our confidence

492
00:22:20.830 --> 00:22:22.000
in God's promises.

493
00:22:22.000 --> 00:22:23.440
But God is faithful.

494
00:22:23.440 --> 00:22:26.830
We must be unwavering in our
faith, especially in the midst

495
00:22:26.830 --> 00:22:29.950
of the thieves that come to
steal our God-given dreams.

00:23:38.260 --> 00:23:39.940
Call or go online now.

524
00:23:41.890 --> 00:23:44.200
<v ->Hey friends, this is Rick Renner</v>

525
00:23:44.200 --> 00:23:48.920
and I'm standing just outside
the editorial department

526
00:23:48.920 --> 00:23:50.630
in the Tulsa headquarters building.

527
00:23:50.630 --> 00:23:54.470
You have eight people that
work just in editorial

528
00:23:54.470 --> 00:23:57.680
because these fingers are typing a lot

529
00:23:57.680 --> 00:23:59.510
of information and revelation.

530
00:23:59.510 --> 00:24:01.520
God spoke to me years ago

531
00:24:01.520 --> 00:24:05.480
and said he would speak through my fingers if I would write.

532
00:24:05.480 --> 00:24:07.040
And I've been writing ever since.

533
00:24:07.040 --> 00:24:08.810
And just outside editorial,

534
00:24:08.810 --> 00:24:11.960
we have several key scriptures. Here we have 2 Timothy

535
00:24:11.960 --> 00:24:14.750
3:16-17; All scripture

536
00:24:14.750 --> 00:24:16.220
is given by inspiration of God

537
00:24:16.220 --> 00:24:19.400
and it's profitable for
doctrine, reproof, correction,

538
00:24:19.400 --> 00:24:21.140
instruction in righteousness.

539
00:24:21.140 --> 00:24:22.700
I really believe that.

540
00:24:22.700 --> 00:24:25.640
Next to that we have Ecclesiastes 8:4 -

541
00:24:25.640 --> 00:24:27.620
You've heard this before - "Where the word

542
00:24:27.620 --> 00:24:30.440
of a king is there is power."

543
00:24:30.440 --> 00:24:31.970
And next there's a sign,

544
00:24:31.970 --> 00:24:33.740
the prophetic word, which God gave to me.

545
00:24:33.740 --> 00:24:38.360
A 1978 write, ride. Write and
I'll prosper what you write.

546
00:24:38.360 --> 00:24:40.940
And I've been writing ever since.

547
00:24:40.940 --> 00:24:44.270
This is a very important
part of our ministry

548
00:24:44.270 --> 00:24:48.590
because we send published, revelation,

549
00:24:48.590 --> 00:24:52.520
information, all kinds of material to the ends

550
00:24:52.520 --> 00:24:54.260
of the earth.

551
00:24:54.260 --> 00:24:56.930
And you're a part of it
because you're a partner.

552
00:24:56.930 --> 00:25:00.530
You know, we've recently just finished 70%

553
00:25:00.530 --> 00:25:02.990
of our Ministry Expansion Project.

554
00:25:02.990 --> 00:25:04.970
Now 30% remains.

555
00:25:04.970 --> 00:25:07.640
If you're part of the team,
I wanna say thank you.

556
00:25:07.640 --> 00:25:09.170
If you're not a part of the team

557
00:25:09.170 --> 00:25:11.540
to help us retire the
debt on this building

558
00:25:11.540 --> 00:25:13.100
and the whole project,

559
00:25:13.100 --> 00:25:15.350
would you please become part of the team?

560
00:25:15.350 --> 00:25:18.830
We wanna release all those
funds so we can redirect them

561
00:25:18.830 --> 00:25:22.130
to take more teaching of the
Bible to the ends of the earth

562
00:25:22.130 --> 00:25:24.500
where people are crying out, God,

563
00:25:24.500 --> 00:25:27.110
please send me teaching that I can trust.

564
00:25:27.110 --> 00:25:30.680
Please pray about becoming
a part of our giving team

565
00:25:36.410 --> 00:25:37.243
today.

566
00:25:37.243 --> 00:25:39.020
I've been talking about
how important it is

567
00:25:39.020 --> 00:25:42.200
to come alongside people
that are in isolation

568
00:25:42.200 --> 00:25:44.390
to encourage them. My friend,

569
00:25:44.390 --> 00:25:47.750
somebody needs your prodding in their life

570
00:25:47.750 --> 00:25:50.090
and maybe you need some encouragement.

571
00:25:50.090 --> 00:25:52.820
And if you do, we would love to pray with you.

572
00:25:52.820 --> 00:25:54.800
So if you'll call the number that is on the screen

573
00:25:54.800 --> 00:25:58.070
or send us an email, we wanna
really put our faith together

574
00:25:58.070 --> 00:26:00.710
with you and help you to hold on to

575
00:26:00.710 --> 00:26:02.210
what you've been believing for

576
00:26:02.210 --> 00:26:05.240
until you get into alignment with God

577
00:26:05.240 --> 00:26:08.870
and the answer comes flowing into your life.

578
00:26:08.870 --> 00:26:10.370
Don't let loose

579
00:26:10.370 --> 00:26:14.990
because he is faithful that promised.

580
00:26:14.990 --> 00:26:18.290
Amen. But I want you to order the whole series

581
00:26:18.290 --> 00:26:21.680
which is called, How to Stay in a Place of Faith.

582
00:26:21.680 --> 00:26:23.900
The devil wants to move you out of faith,

583
00:26:23.900 --> 00:26:25.430
but you can stay in a place of faith.

584
00:26:25.430 --> 00:26:26.630
And that's what I'm teaching you.

585
00:26:26.630 --> 00:26:30.170
And this comes with a great
study guide that is filled

586
00:26:30.170 --> 00:26:32.210
with everything in the series.

587
00:26:32.210 --> 00:26:35.150
I want you to see it and
read it while you hear

588
00:26:35.150 --> 00:26:37.940
or see the series and really
get this teaching down in you.

589
00:26:37.940 --> 00:26:40.340
And we're also offering you my book,

590
00:26:40.340 --> 00:26:43.560
which is called, Dream Thieves: Overcoming Obstacles

591
00:26:43.560 --> 00:26:46.110
to fulfill Your Dreams.

592
00:26:46.110 --> 00:26:49.560
And my friends, you can really overcome every obstacle

593
00:26:49.560 --> 00:26:53.340
and step into what God
has put into your heart.

594
00:26:53.340 --> 00:26:56.760
You can do it, but I wanna
pray for you right now.

595
00:26:56.760 --> 00:26:59.490
So put your hand on your
heart and get it ready,

596
00:26:59.490 --> 00:27:01.350
because I believe the
Lord is gonna touch you.

597
00:27:01.350 --> 00:27:03.960
Father, in the name of Jesus, I thank you

598
00:27:03.960 --> 00:27:06.180
that we can come to you boldly.

599
00:27:06.180 --> 00:27:08.070
Lord, you say in 1 John 5:

600
00:27:08.070 --> 00:27:09.900
if we ask anything according to your will,

601
00:27:09.900 --> 00:27:11.280
you hear us and you will do it.

602
00:27:11.280 --> 00:27:13.890
And I know it is your will for my friend

603
00:27:13.890 --> 00:27:15.960
to stay in a place of faith.

604
00:27:15.960 --> 00:27:18.150
And Holy Spirit, I pray for your power

605
00:27:18.150 --> 00:27:20.010
to flow into them right now.

606
00:27:20.010 --> 00:27:22.890
Touch them right where
they are until they are

607
00:27:22.890 --> 00:27:26.370
so strengthened that
they're able to lay hold of

608
00:27:26.370 --> 00:27:28.050
what you've promised

609
00:27:28.050 --> 00:27:32.970
and to not let loose until they receive the manifestation.

610
00:27:32.970 --> 00:27:35.760
In Jesus name - Amen.

611
00:27:37.080 --> 00:27:39.270
Hey, I'll see you in the next episode,

612
00:27:39.270 --> 00:27:42.480
but please remember Ecclesiastes 8:4 says,

613
00:27:42.480 --> 00:27:46.680
"Where the word of a king is, there's power."

614
00:27:46.680 --> 00:27:48.930
If you've never received
Jesus as your Savior

615
00:27:48.930 --> 00:27:53.310
and Lord, now is the time for
you to experience a new life

616
00:27:53.310 --> 00:27:55.470
Jesus has to give you.

617
00:27:55.470 --> 00:27:59.580
Pray this prayer with me right now: Lord,

618
00:27:59.580 --> 00:28:03.570
I repent my sin and receive you as my savior

619
00:28:03.570 --> 00:28:06.540
and Lord. Wash away my sin

620
00:28:06.540 --> 00:28:09.570
and make me completely new.

621
00:28:09.570 --> 00:28:13.350
I thank you that my sin is removed

622
00:28:13.350 --> 00:28:18.350
and Satan no longer has any
right to lay claim on me.

623
00:28:18.900 --> 00:28:22.890
I faithfully promise that
I will serve you as my Lord

624
00:28:22.890 --> 00:28:24.570
for the rest of my life.

625
00:28:25.440 --> 00:28:26.273
Amen.
