00:00:00.660 --> 00:00:03.150
This program is made
possible by the giving
2
00:00:03.150 --> 00:00:06.360
of the God called partners
of Renner Ministries.
3
00:00:07.440 --> 00:00:08.520
My name is Rick Renner
4
00:00:08.520 --> 00:00:10.350
and it's amazing what we do
5
00:00:10.350 --> 00:00:13.290
to film interesting standups for you.
6
00:00:13.290 --> 00:00:15.630
Today I'm with a flock
of sheep, and believe it
7
00:00:15.630 --> 00:00:20.190
or not, this is near our
home in Moscow, Russia.
8
00:00:20.190 --> 00:00:23.670
All of these sheep are just a
few miles from where we live,
9
00:00:23.670 --> 00:00:26.910
and I have my Bible and
I have my shepherd staffs
10
00:00:26.910 --> 00:00:29.250
because today I am beginning
a brand new series called
11
00:00:29.250 --> 00:00:30.540
the 23rd Psalm,
12
00:00:30.540 --> 00:00:33.450
The Lord is My Shepherd.
13
00:00:33.450 --> 00:00:35.880
And in the 23rd Psalm verse 1, David writes,
14
00:00:35.880 --> 00:00:37.680
the Lord is my shepherd
15
00:00:37.680 --> 00:00:40.590
I shall not want.
16
00:00:40.590 --> 00:00:44.160
These sheep are well
fed by their shepherd.
17
00:00:44.160 --> 00:00:46.890
He makes sure they have
everything they need,
18
00:00:46.890 --> 00:00:49.770
and that's what Jesus does for you.
19
00:00:49.770 --> 00:00:53.190
And that is what I'm going
to talk to you about today.
20
00:00:53.190 --> 00:00:56.370
Get ready for a teaching
that feeds your spirit
21
00:00:56.370 --> 00:01:00.540
and your mind: where the word
is the anchor in uncertain
22
00:01:00.540 --> 00:01:05.220
times and doctrine
doesn't bend to culture.
23
00:01:05.220 --> 00:01:06.660
We keep it simple,
24
00:01:06.660 --> 00:01:11.220
but dive deep revealing a
truth that strengthens us,
25
00:01:12.090 --> 00:01:13.980
a love that emboldens,
26
00:01:15.120 --> 00:01:17.280
and a mission that touches the world.
27
00:01:19.620 --> 00:01:21.120
Let's join Rick Renner.
28
00:01:23.640 --> 00:01:25.350
Welcome to today's program.
29
00:01:25.350 --> 00:01:30.060
My name is Rick Renner and
I've been waiting for you
30
00:01:30.060 --> 00:01:31.170
and I wanna say thank you
31
00:01:31.170 --> 00:01:33.540
for letting me come right into your space.
32
00:01:33.540 --> 00:01:37.470
Today we're beginning a
brand new series about the
33
00:01:37.470 --> 00:01:39.570
23rd psalm.
34
00:01:39.570 --> 00:01:42.180
Everybody loves the 23rd Psalm,
35
00:01:42.180 --> 00:01:44.280
but you're gonna love it a lot more
36
00:01:44.280 --> 00:01:47.700
after you hear this 10 part series.
37
00:01:47.700 --> 00:01:49.830
And I want you to order the whole series,
38
00:01:49.830 --> 00:01:52.320
which is called Psalm 23rd.
39
00:01:52.320 --> 00:01:55.260
The Lord is my shepherd.
40
00:01:55.260 --> 00:01:57.900
Aren't you grateful that
the Lord is our shepherd?
41
00:01:57.900 --> 00:02:00.000
He really is our shepherd.
42
00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:02.670
This series is just going to be powerful
43
00:02:02.670 --> 00:02:05.550
and I want you to get it
and really listen to it.
44
00:02:05.550 --> 00:02:07.140
And it comes with a study guide.
45
00:02:07.140 --> 00:02:09.150
I'm so thankful for my team
46
00:02:09.150 --> 00:02:11.700
that helps me put together
all my study guides.
47
00:02:11.700 --> 00:02:15.300
These study guides are just
filled with all the points,
48
00:02:15.300 --> 00:02:18.420
the principles, all the important parts of the teaching.
49
00:02:18.420 --> 00:02:21.240
It's in the study guide
so that while you hear it
50
00:02:21.240 --> 00:02:23.220
or see it, you can also read it.
51
00:02:23.220 --> 00:02:24.510
And really, it's amazing
52
00:02:24.510 --> 00:02:27.150
what happens when you read while you look
53
00:02:27.150 --> 00:02:28.200
or while you listen.
54
00:02:28.200 --> 00:02:31.410
It really puts the teaching
down deep inside you.
55
00:02:31.410 --> 00:02:34.860
And today is the 1st day that we're offering this series.
56
00:02:34.860 --> 00:02:36.420
So I want you to order yours now
57
00:02:36.420 --> 00:02:39.330
and you can order it
by going to renner.org
58
00:02:39.330 --> 00:02:43.110
or you can give us a call
right now, and today only,
59
00:02:43.110 --> 00:02:46.710
we're offering you for free a
book by my friend, Tony Cook.
60
00:02:46.710 --> 00:02:51.360
The name of the book is Because the Lord is My Shepherd.
61
00:02:51.360 --> 00:02:56.190
The subtitle says, The Blessings of an Empowered Life.
62
00:02:56.190 --> 00:03:00.700
This book may look small, but
this book is power packed.
63
00:03:00.700 --> 00:03:04.180
And my friend today only,
I want to give it to you
64
00:03:04.180 --> 00:03:07.360
as a gift from our ministry,
65
00:03:07.360 --> 00:03:09.280
but I want you to reach for your Bible.
66
00:03:09.280 --> 00:03:11.230
We always use the Bible in this program,
67
00:03:11.230 --> 00:03:14.440
and today we're going to the 23rd Psalm.
68
00:03:14.440 --> 00:03:17.230
And I want you to read the entire Psalm. Beginning in Psalm
69
00:03:17.230 --> 00:03:18.280
23:1,
70
00:03:18.280 --> 00:03:22.270
the Bible says; The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.
71
00:03:22.270 --> 00:03:25.720
Verse 2: He makes me to lie down in green pastures.
72
00:03:25.720 --> 00:03:28.390
He leads me beside the still waters.
73
00:03:28.390 --> 00:03:31.600
Verse 3: He restores my soul.
74
00:03:31.600 --> 00:03:34.270
Aren't you grateful that
he restores our souls?
75
00:03:34.270 --> 00:03:37.690
He leads me in the path of righteousness for his namesake.
76
00:03:37.690 --> 00:03:39.370
Verse 4: Yay
77
00:03:39.370 --> 00:03:41.830
though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
78
00:03:41.830 --> 00:03:45.730
I will fear no evil for thou art with me.
79
00:03:45.730 --> 00:03:50.260
Thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me. What does that mean
80
00:03:50.260 --> 00:03:52.090
thy rod and thy staff?
81
00:03:52.090 --> 00:03:56.080
You're gonna find out. Verse 5: Thou preparest a table
82
00:03:56.080 --> 00:03:59.560
before me even in the presence of my enemies,
83
00:03:59.560 --> 00:04:03.310
thou anoint us my head
with oil, my cup runs over.
84
00:04:03.310 --> 00:04:05.530
Verse 6: surely goodness
85
00:04:05.530 --> 00:04:09.700
and mercy will follow me
all the days of my life
86
00:04:09.700 --> 00:04:14.680
and I will dwell in the
house of the Lord forever.
87
00:04:14.680 --> 00:04:17.140
That is the 23rd Psalm.
88
00:04:17.140 --> 00:04:21.760
And in these verses we find
10 promises of God to me
89
00:04:21.760 --> 00:04:23.200
and to you. What are they?
90
00:04:23.200 --> 00:04:27.040
No.1: God's supernatural provision.
91
00:04:27.040 --> 00:04:30.490
No.2: God's supernatural protection.
92
00:04:30.490 --> 00:04:34.570
No.3: God's supernatural peace. It belongs to you.
93
00:04:34.570 --> 00:04:38.020
No.4: God's supernatural restoration.
94
00:04:38.020 --> 00:04:40.780
No.5: God's supernatural guidance.
95
00:04:40.780 --> 00:04:43.870
No.6: God's supernatural confidence
96
00:04:43.870 --> 00:04:45.400
that he gives to us.
97
00:04:45.400 --> 00:04:48.730
No.7: God's supernatural correction.
98
00:04:48.730 --> 00:04:50.770
We need his correction.
99
00:04:50.770 --> 00:04:54.340
No.8: God's supernatural prosperity.
100
00:04:54.340 --> 00:04:56.920
No.9: God's supernatural anointing.
101
00:04:56.920 --> 00:05:00.820
And No.10: God's supernatural promise.
102
00:05:00.820 --> 00:05:03.310
All 10 of these are promised
103
00:05:03.310 --> 00:05:07.330
and guaranteed to us in the 23rd Psalm.
104
00:05:07.330 --> 00:05:11.170
But in Psalm 23:1, David begins by saying,
105
00:05:11.170 --> 00:05:14.620
The Lord is my shepherd.
106
00:05:14.620 --> 00:05:17.980
And here David uses the
metaphor of a shepherd
107
00:05:17.980 --> 00:05:21.580
because David had spent a
lot of time as a young man
108
00:05:21.580 --> 00:05:23.620
among sheep, he had been a shepherd
109
00:05:23.620 --> 00:05:26.890
and he understood what it
meant to be a shepherd.
110
00:05:26.890 --> 00:05:29.170
And here he uses this metaphor
111
00:05:29.170 --> 00:05:31.480
to describe the Lord in all of our lives.
112
00:05:31.480 --> 00:05:34.150
And notice he doesn't say -
the Lord is their shepherd
113
00:05:34.150 --> 00:05:35.770
or the Lord is our shepherd.
114
00:05:35.770 --> 00:05:39.430
He personalizes this by saying - the Lord is my shepherd
115
00:05:39.430 --> 00:05:42.670
and my friend, I want to tell
you the Lord is your shepherd
116
00:05:42.670 --> 00:05:47.110
and you should just say,
the Lord is my shepherd.
117
00:05:47.110 --> 00:05:48.370
Well, when you study the scripture,
118
00:05:48.370 --> 00:05:50.560
you find there are several metaphors used
119
00:05:50.560 --> 00:05:52.420
to describe the Lord in our life.
120
00:05:52.420 --> 00:05:56.320
For example: he is called a king, he is called a judge,
121
00:05:56.320 --> 00:05:59.300
he is our deliverer, but in this text,
122
00:05:59.300 --> 00:06:02.180
David calls him our shepherd.
123
00:06:02.180 --> 00:06:06.080
So we have to ask - What do shepherds do?
124
00:06:06.080 --> 00:06:08.840
A shepherd is a leader of sheep,
125
00:06:08.840 --> 00:06:12.290
and so as a pastor. A shepherd takes care of
126
00:06:12.290 --> 00:06:14.930
and intends to the needs of the flock.
127
00:06:15.770 --> 00:06:18.290
A shepherd feeds the sheep.
128
00:06:18.290 --> 00:06:22.790
A shepherd ensures the basic
needs of every sheep are met.
129
00:06:22.790 --> 00:06:25.850
A shepherd protects the sheep from wolves,
130
00:06:25.850 --> 00:06:27.230
and the shepherd leads
131
00:06:27.230 --> 00:06:30.230
and guides the sheep
where he wants them to go.
132
00:06:30.230 --> 00:06:34.400
So in essence, we see that a
shepherd protects, a shepherd,
133
00:06:34.400 --> 00:06:38.510
provides, a shepherd provides and guides,
134
00:06:38.510 --> 00:06:41.810
and does so many marvelous things for us.
135
00:06:41.810 --> 00:06:44.900
Actually 10 promises in this text,
136
00:06:44.900 --> 00:06:49.190
and this is exactly how David says God cares
137
00:06:49.190 --> 00:06:52.070
for us. And my friend, I want you to know
138
00:06:52.070 --> 00:06:55.100
that God knows you're coming
and God knows your goings.
139
00:06:55.100 --> 00:06:56.480
He knows when you rise up,
140
00:06:56.480 --> 00:07:00.620
He knows when you sit down. He
knows every hair on your head
141
00:07:00.620 --> 00:07:03.350
or how many hairs you no
longer have on your head
142
00:07:03.350 --> 00:07:07.280
in my case. He knows when we
get lost, when we go astray,
143
00:07:07.280 --> 00:07:10.850
he is a shepherd and he is
familiar with every one of us
144
00:07:10.850 --> 00:07:14.300
and with everything that's
going on in our lives.
145
00:07:14.300 --> 00:07:15.740
But listen, listen:
146
00:07:15.740 --> 00:07:18.500
if the Lord is our shepherd,
147
00:07:18.500 --> 00:07:21.770
that means we are sheep,
148
00:07:21.770 --> 00:07:25.550
we're sheep. Well, what do we know about sheep?
149
00:07:25.550 --> 00:07:28.130
And I'm going to give you 11 things
150
00:07:28.130 --> 00:07:29.870
that we know about sheep.
151
00:07:29.870 --> 00:07:34.790
No.1: sheep can be very slow to learn.
152
00:07:34.790 --> 00:07:38.030
Any shepherd could give
you countless stories about
153
00:07:38.030 --> 00:07:40.100
how sheep have run into barb wire fences
154
00:07:40.100 --> 00:07:42.980
or fallen into a ditch
trying to cross a ravine,
155
00:07:42.980 --> 00:07:46.070
and the next day they run
into the same barb wire fence
156
00:07:46.070 --> 00:07:49.790
and the next day they run into
the same ravine day after day
157
00:07:49.790 --> 00:07:54.500
after day because sheep
can be very slow to learn.
158
00:07:54.500 --> 00:07:56.360
And the Bible says, we are sheep.
159
00:07:56.360 --> 00:07:59.690
No.2: sheep can be stinky
160
00:07:59.690 --> 00:08:02.630
and unattractive. In that standup
161
00:08:02.630 --> 00:08:05.960
before the program today, those sheep were stinky
162
00:08:05.960 --> 00:08:07.460
and they were unattractive.
163
00:08:07.460 --> 00:08:10.610
I know that we love little photos of beautiful white sheep,
164
00:08:10.610 --> 00:08:13.220
but sheep for most of the time are stinky
165
00:08:13.220 --> 00:08:15.110
and very unattractive.
166
00:08:15.110 --> 00:08:19.760
And that describes us. Are you
ever stinky and unattractive?
167
00:08:19.760 --> 00:08:23.720
No.3: sheep are demanding; from the moment they are
168
00:08:23.720 --> 00:08:27.650
born, they are demanding to be fed by their mother.
169
00:08:27.650 --> 00:08:31.280
They have an insatiable demand
to be fed that never ends.
170
00:08:31.280 --> 00:08:33.710
They demand grass, grass, grass, grass,
171
00:08:33.710 --> 00:08:35.180
grass and more grass.
172
00:08:35.180 --> 00:08:37.190
They want grass day and night.
173
00:08:37.190 --> 00:08:40.250
And in the winter when
the field is covered,
174
00:08:40.250 --> 00:08:43.160
they're demanding to be
fed by their shepherd.
175
00:08:43.160 --> 00:08:46.130
And when a shepherd shows
up with food, they are
176
00:08:46.130 --> 00:08:49.760
so demanding they nearly stampede they're shepherd.
177
00:08:51.050 --> 00:08:54.170
No.4: sheep are stubborn.
178
00:08:54.170 --> 00:08:56.760
I don't know if you've
ever tried to move a sheep,
179
00:08:56.760 --> 00:09:00.360
but those sheep can probably
move you easier than you
180
00:09:00.360 --> 00:09:01.500
can move a sheep.
181
00:09:01.500 --> 00:09:03.750
It's kind of like trying
to move an elephant.
182
00:09:03.750 --> 00:09:05.910
If you've ever tried to lead a sheep,
183
00:09:05.910 --> 00:09:10.140
you know they can be very, very stubborn.
184
00:09:10.140 --> 00:09:12.630
No.5: sheep are strong.
185
00:09:12.630 --> 00:09:15.510
They can nearly knock you flat.
186
00:09:15.510 --> 00:09:17.340
In fact, when I was filming that standup
187
00:09:17.340 --> 00:09:19.860
and sitting on that chair
among all those sheep,
188
00:09:19.860 --> 00:09:23.370
there was 1 sheep that nearly knocked me off of my chair
189
00:09:23.370 --> 00:09:25.020
because it was so strong.
190
00:09:25.020 --> 00:09:26.430
When you look at their skinny arms
191
00:09:26.430 --> 00:09:29.820
and legs, you think they're going to be very easy to handle
192
00:09:29.820 --> 00:09:31.440
and then all of a sudden - bam -
193
00:09:31.440 --> 00:09:33.360
you're knocked flat on your back
194
00:09:33.360 --> 00:09:35.670
because of a sheep that
has come against you
195
00:09:35.670 --> 00:09:36.720
that is very strong.
196
00:09:36.720 --> 00:09:39.840
And remember, they also
use their heads to ram.
197
00:09:40.860 --> 00:09:44.250
And the Bible says, we are like sheep.
198
00:09:44.250 --> 00:09:47.850
No.6: sheep tend to go astray
199
00:09:47.850 --> 00:09:51.750
and to get lost, even
the Bible tells us this.
200
00:09:51.750 --> 00:09:56.750
In Isaiah 53:6, it says, all we like sheep
201
00:09:56.790 --> 00:09:58.980
are gone astray.
202
00:09:58.980 --> 00:10:02.190
In Luke 15:4, Jesus gives the parable
203
00:10:02.190 --> 00:10:04.680
of the shepherd who lost one sheep
204
00:10:04.680 --> 00:10:05.820
and it says; What man
205
00:10:05.820 --> 00:10:08.820 line:15%
of you having an hundred sheep, if he lose one of them, doth
206
00:10:08.820 --> 00:10:11.460
not leave the 90 and 9 in the wilderness and go
207
00:10:11.460 --> 00:10:16.050
after that which is lost until he find it.
208
00:10:16.050 --> 00:10:18.960
Sheep have a tendency to go astray
209
00:10:18.960 --> 00:10:20.790
and to get lost along the way.
210
00:10:20.790 --> 00:10:23.970
And the Bible says, we are like sheep.
211
00:10:23.970 --> 00:10:26.850
No.7: sheep are unpredictable.
212
00:10:26.850 --> 00:10:29.040
You might think you know
where they're going,
213
00:10:29.040 --> 00:10:32.070
but boom, they surprise
you as they all turn
214
00:10:32.070 --> 00:10:33.900
and go in another direction.
215
00:10:33.900 --> 00:10:37.170
That's because sheep are very unpredictable.
216
00:10:37.170 --> 00:10:41.550
No.8: sheep tend to follow the crowd.
217
00:10:41.550 --> 00:10:43.470
It was hilarious when we filmed
218
00:10:43.470 --> 00:10:46.350
that standup at the beginning
of the program today
219
00:10:46.350 --> 00:10:48.510
because all the sheep
followed one another.
220
00:10:48.510 --> 00:10:50.550
If one leading sheep
went in one direction,
221
00:10:50.550 --> 00:10:52.110
they all went in that direction.
222
00:10:52.110 --> 00:10:55.590
Even though none of them knew
where that sheep was going,
223
00:10:55.590 --> 00:10:58.020
they tend to follow the crowd.
224
00:10:58.020 --> 00:11:01.800
One man has said; when one sheep decides to start running,
225
00:11:01.800 --> 00:11:03.690
they all decide to start running.
226
00:11:03.690 --> 00:11:06.480
If you were able to ask one of the sheep,
227
00:11:06.480 --> 00:11:08.430
why did you start running?
228
00:11:08.430 --> 00:11:10.170
It would say, well,
229
00:11:10.170 --> 00:11:13.650
because he started running:
the next would say the same
230
00:11:13.650 --> 00:11:15.510
and the next one would say the same,
231
00:11:15.510 --> 00:11:17.700
and finally, you would get to a sheep who would say,
232
00:11:17.700 --> 00:11:19.110
I don't know, everybody was running
233
00:11:19.110 --> 00:11:20.940
so I decided to start running.
234
00:11:20.940 --> 00:11:24.420
And this tendency to follow
the crowd can even be fatal.
235
00:11:24.420 --> 00:11:29.100
For example: recently in Turkey, there were 400 sheep
236
00:11:29.100 --> 00:11:31.080
who were killed in one event
237
00:11:31.080 --> 00:11:33.660
because one sheep decided it would try
238
00:11:33.660 --> 00:11:37.380
to cross a 100 foot ravine.
239
00:11:37.380 --> 00:11:39.750
It fell into the ditch and died.
240
00:11:39.750 --> 00:11:43.920
And 399 sheep followed it
241
00:11:43.920 --> 00:11:45.330
without thinking
242
00:11:45.330 --> 00:11:49.260
because sheep have a
tendency to follow the crowd.
243
00:11:49.260 --> 00:11:52.620
No.9: sheep are restless.
244
00:11:52.620 --> 00:11:55.600
They are so restless, they will roam clear into the middle
245
00:11:55.600 --> 00:11:57.640
of the night looking for a food.
246
00:11:57.640 --> 00:11:59.680
They're just restless creatures.
247
00:11:59.680 --> 00:12:03.940
And likewise, God's people
tend to be rather restless.
248
00:12:03.940 --> 00:12:07.750
Number 10: sheep are completely dependent
249
00:12:07.750 --> 00:12:09.400
upon a shepherd.
250
00:12:09.400 --> 00:12:11.470
Most animals can cope
251
00:12:11.470 --> 00:12:15.040
and can survive by
themselves out in the wild,
252
00:12:15.040 --> 00:12:16.180
but not sheep.
253
00:12:16.180 --> 00:12:21.130
Sheep cannot survive without
the care of a shepherd.
254
00:12:21.130 --> 00:12:23.860
They're totally dependent upon a shepherd.
255
00:12:23.860 --> 00:12:28.510
And likewise, we are sheep and the Lord is our shepherd.
256
00:12:28.510 --> 00:12:29.830
We depend upon him
257
00:12:29.830 --> 00:12:33.040
and we cannot survive without
his tender care in our life.
258
00:12:33.040 --> 00:12:38.040
And No.11: sheep are the same everywhere.
259
00:12:38.080 --> 00:12:41.380
In the course of my ministry,
I've been all over the world
260
00:12:41.380 --> 00:12:45.130
and as I've traveled many
times I have seen flocks
261
00:12:45.130 --> 00:12:46.990
of sheep and I love sheep.
262
00:12:46.990 --> 00:12:50.650
So in Central Asia I walked
out among the flocks of sheep;
263
00:12:50.650 --> 00:12:52.480
in Turkey, I was out among the flocks
264
00:12:52.480 --> 00:12:54.310
of sheep: in Russia in America.
265
00:12:54.310 --> 00:12:55.510
And it doesn't matter where you go,
266
00:12:55.510 --> 00:12:58.330
whether you're in America
or Russia or Israel
267
00:12:58.330 --> 00:13:01.270
or Central Asia or Turkey, it doesn't matter,
268
00:13:01.270 --> 00:13:05.650
sheep are exactly the same everywhere you go.
269
00:13:05.650 --> 00:13:08.680
They have the same traits, the same behaviors,
270
00:13:08.680 --> 00:13:10.420
the same characteristics,
271
00:13:10.420 --> 00:13:15.310
sheep are sheep. And the Bible says we are sheep
272
00:13:15.310 --> 00:13:18.370
and the Lord is our shepherd.
273
00:13:18.370 --> 00:13:20.740
And again, David personalized this
274
00:13:20.740 --> 00:13:22.570
by saying the Lord is my shepherd;
275
00:13:22.570 --> 00:13:24.010
and my friend, I want you
276
00:13:24.010 --> 00:13:27.040
to know he's not just our
shepherd, he's my shepherd,
277
00:13:27.040 --> 00:13:28.480
he is your shepherd,
278
00:13:28.480 --> 00:13:32.230
you should just say, the Lord is my shepherd
279
00:13:32.230 --> 00:13:35.740
and his job is to take care of you.
280
00:13:35.740 --> 00:13:40.120
And now I want us to see promise No.1 that he makes
281
00:13:40.120 --> 00:13:43.690
to his sheep in the 23rd Psalm,
282
00:13:43.690 --> 00:13:47.260
and it's in verse 1. It says, the Lord is my shepherd
283
00:13:47.260 --> 00:13:50.470
I shall not want.
284
00:13:50.470 --> 00:13:53.350
You should just say that - I shall not want.
285
00:13:53.350 --> 00:13:56.710
And here God declares, he's going to take care
286
00:13:56.710 --> 00:13:59.620
of your needs.
287
00:13:59.620 --> 00:14:04.060
Amen. In Matthew 6, Jesus made it clear
288
00:14:04.060 --> 00:14:05.380
that God will provide
289
00:14:05.380 --> 00:14:09.010
for all the physical needs
we will ever face in life
290
00:14:09.010 --> 00:14:10.540
and we do not need
291
00:14:10.540 --> 00:14:11.860
to worry about it;
292
00:14:11.860 --> 00:14:16.860
that's because the Lord is my
shepherd, I shall not want.
293
00:14:17.170 --> 00:14:20.710
But Jesus specifically said in Matthew 6:
294
00:14:20.710 --> 00:14:24.370
25, and remember,
Jesus is the good shepherd.
295
00:14:24.370 --> 00:14:27.160
This is the shepherd speaking to us.
296
00:14:27.160 --> 00:14:28.540
Listen to what Jesus says.
297
00:14:28.540 --> 00:14:31.540
Therefore I say unto you; take
no thought for your life:
298
00:14:31.540 --> 00:14:33.820
what you so eat or what you shall drink
299
00:14:33.820 --> 00:14:34.960
nor yet for your body
300
00:14:34.960 --> 00:14:38.110
or what you'll put on; is not life more than meat
301
00:14:38.110 --> 00:14:39.610
and the body more than raiment?
302
00:14:39.610 --> 00:14:43.150 line:15%
Verse 26: behold the fouls of the air for they so not;
303
00:14:43.150 --> 00:14:45.580
neither do they reap nor gather into barns.
304
00:14:45.580 --> 00:14:47.860
Yet your heavenly Father feedeth them.
305
00:14:47.860 --> 00:14:49.990
Are ye not much better than they?
306
00:14:49.990 --> 00:14:51.710
Verse 27: Which of you
307
00:14:51.710 --> 00:14:55.610
by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?
308
00:14:55.610 --> 00:14:59.180
Verse 28: And why take you thought for raiment?
309
00:14:59.180 --> 00:15:01.850
Consider the lilies of
the field, how they grow;
310
00:15:01.850 --> 00:15:04.730
they toil not and neither do they spend. Verse 29:
311
00:15:04.730 --> 00:15:06.920
and yet I say to you that even Solomon
312
00:15:06.920 --> 00:15:11.090
and all of his glory was not
arrayed like one of these.
313
00:15:11.090 --> 00:15:14.690
Verse 30: wherefore, if God so clothed the grass
314
00:15:14.690 --> 00:15:16.550
of the field, which today is
315
00:15:16.550 --> 00:15:18.620
and tomorrow is cast into the oven,
316
00:15:18.620 --> 00:15:22.670
shall he not much more clothed
you - O ye a little faith.
317
00:15:22.670 --> 00:15:26.600
Verse 31: wherefore take no thought saying,
318
00:15:26.600 --> 00:15:28.970
what shall we eat or what shall we drink
319
00:15:28.970 --> 00:15:30.830
or what shall we wear?
320
00:15:30.830 --> 00:15:33.890
Verse 32: for after all these things do the Gentiles
321
00:15:33.890 --> 00:15:35.390
who do not know God, seek
322
00:15:35.390 --> 00:15:38.900
after that your heavenly
Father knows you have need
323
00:15:38.900 --> 00:15:39.980
of all these things.
324
00:15:39.980 --> 00:15:43.910 line:15%
Verse 33: But seek ye first the kingdom of God
325
00:15:43.910 --> 00:15:45.050
and his righteousness
326
00:15:45.050 --> 00:15:48.770
and all these things shall be added
327
00:15:48.770 --> 00:15:50.090
unto you.
328
00:15:50.090 --> 00:15:54.320
And all of that agrees with Psalm 23:1,
329
00:15:54.320 --> 00:15:58.400
where David declared the Lord is my shepherd
330
00:15:58.400 --> 00:16:01.550
I shall not want.
331
00:16:01.550 --> 00:16:04.520
You may be worried about money, you may be worried about
332
00:16:04.520 --> 00:16:06.290
how you're going to pay your bills,
333
00:16:06.290 --> 00:16:09.530
but my friends, you shall not want
334
00:16:09.530 --> 00:16:13.220
because the Lord is your shepherd.
335
00:16:13.220 --> 00:16:16.910
This is the Bible's declaration to me and to you.
336
00:16:16.910 --> 00:16:18.200
And in this statement,
337
00:16:18.200 --> 00:16:22.670
God promises we will not lack anything.
338
00:16:22.670 --> 00:16:27.470
David wrote this in Psalm 37:25,
339
00:16:27.470 --> 00:16:30.170
speaking about his life and everything he had seen in life.
340
00:16:30.170 --> 00:16:34.160
He said, I've been young and now I'm old.
341
00:16:34.160 --> 00:16:36.740
Yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken
342
00:16:36.740 --> 00:16:39.950
or his seed begging bread.
343
00:16:39.950 --> 00:16:42.860
Wow, that is an amazing verse.
344
00:16:42.860 --> 00:16:44.780
Or how about Deuteronomy 2:
345
00:16:44.780 --> 00:16:48.620
7, in The New Living translation - it's powerful.
346
00:16:48.620 --> 00:16:51.620
Moses is describing God's provision
347
00:16:51.620 --> 00:16:53.150
for his people in the wilderness.
348
00:16:53.150 --> 00:16:54.350
Listen to what Moses said;
349
00:16:55.610 --> 00:16:57.230
The Lord your God has blessed you in
350
00:16:57.230 --> 00:16:58.520
everything you have done.
351
00:16:58.520 --> 00:17:01.640
He's watched your every step
through this great wilderness.
352
00:17:01.640 --> 00:17:02.780
During these 40 years,
353
00:17:02.780 --> 00:17:05.000
the Lord your God has been with you
354
00:17:05.000 --> 00:17:09.470
and you have lacked nothing.
355
00:17:09.470 --> 00:17:10.880
That is amazing.
356
00:17:10.880 --> 00:17:15.710
Then in Psalm 84:11, David makes this promise -
357
00:17:15.710 --> 00:17:18.290
For the Lord God is a son
358
00:17:18.290 --> 00:17:21.650 line:15%
and shield; the Lord will give grace
359
00:17:21.650 --> 00:17:23.240
and glory - and listen to this -
360
00:17:23.240 --> 00:17:27.890
no good thing will he withhold from those
361
00:17:27.890 --> 00:17:31.520
who walk up rightly. My friends,
362
00:17:31.520 --> 00:17:33.380
he is my shepherd.
363
00:17:33.380 --> 00:17:35.090
He is your shepherd.
364
00:17:35.090 --> 00:17:38.600
And what a comfort it is
to know that God loves us,
365
00:17:38.600 --> 00:17:40.100
God cares for us,
366
00:17:40.100 --> 00:17:44.120
and God promises, he promises
367
00:17:44.120 --> 00:17:46.490
to provide for us.
368
00:17:46.490 --> 00:17:50.250
One little girl was trying
to quote the 23rd Psalm
369
00:17:50.250 --> 00:17:51.600
and she misquoted it,
370
00:17:51.600 --> 00:17:54.840
but she misquoted it in a
great way. Rather than say,
371
00:17:54.840 --> 00:17:57.810
the Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.
372
00:17:57.810 --> 00:18:01.620
She said, the Lord is my shepherd, that's all I want.
373
00:18:01.620 --> 00:18:02.880
Well, she really said it right,
374
00:18:02.880 --> 00:18:04.950
because if the Lord is your shepherd,
375
00:18:04.950 --> 00:18:08.250
you have everything you need.
376
00:18:08.250 --> 00:18:11.280
In Psalm 103:2, David says,
377
00:18:11.280 --> 00:18:13.530
Bless the Lord all my soul
378
00:18:13.530 --> 00:18:16.950
and forget not all his benefits -
379
00:18:16.950 --> 00:18:18.930
which means - if the Lord is your shepherd
380
00:18:18.930 --> 00:18:20.280
and you're one of his sheep,
381
00:18:20.280 --> 00:18:22.710
there are benefits promised to you.
382
00:18:22.710 --> 00:18:24.870
Then in verse 3 he says:
383
00:18:24.870 --> 00:18:27.060
Who forgiveth all thine iniquities -
384
00:18:27.060 --> 00:18:29.280
do you believe that? Of course you believe that.
385
00:18:29.280 --> 00:18:30.750
But in verse 3, he also says,
386
00:18:30.750 --> 00:18:33.300
who healeth all thy diseases.
387
00:18:33.300 --> 00:18:36.120
Do you believe that he wants
to heal all your diseases?
388
00:18:36.120 --> 00:18:37.500
Of course you believe that.
389
00:18:37.500 --> 00:18:38.700
In verse 4 he says,
390
00:18:38.700 --> 00:18:41.070
Who redeems my life from destruction.
391
00:18:41.070 --> 00:18:44.070
I know that you believe that: Who crowns thee
392
00:18:44.070 --> 00:18:46.500
with loving kindness and tender mercies.
393
00:18:46.500 --> 00:18:48.660
I know you believe that.
394
00:18:48.660 --> 00:18:51.810
But then when you get to verse 5: he writes,
395
00:18:51.810 --> 00:18:56.430
Who satisfies my mouth with good things:
396
00:18:56.430 --> 00:18:57.960
good things.
397
00:18:57.960 --> 00:19:00.150
It's talking about material blessings
398
00:19:00.150 --> 00:19:02.040
and provision in life.
399
00:19:02.040 --> 00:19:06.690
God wants to satisfy our
mouth with good things,
400
00:19:06.690 --> 00:19:08.760
and that is why David was able
401
00:19:08.760 --> 00:19:13.350
to declare - The Lord is my shepherd I shall
402
00:19:13.350 --> 00:19:15.180
not want.
403
00:19:15.180 --> 00:19:17.730
And David used this metaphor of a shepherd
404
00:19:17.730 --> 00:19:20.400
because he had been a
shepherd earlier in his life
405
00:19:20.400 --> 00:19:24.180
and he knew that a good
shepherd always provides
406
00:19:24.180 --> 00:19:26.700
for the needs of the flock.
407
00:19:26.700 --> 00:19:30.090
When you come to Philippians 4:19,
408
00:19:30.090 --> 00:19:33.960
there's even a special verse about provision made to givers.
409
00:19:33.960 --> 00:19:36.750
And if you're a giver, you can claim this verse.
410
00:19:36.750 --> 00:19:40.410
Paul wrote; And my God shall supply all your need according
411
00:19:40.410 --> 00:19:42.540
to His riches and glory by Christ Jesus.
412
00:19:42.540 --> 00:19:45.840
But my friend, I want to give
you the RIV of this verse.
413
00:19:45.840 --> 00:19:48.930
The RIV of Philippians 4:19 says,
414
00:19:48.930 --> 00:19:53.910
But my God will supply all your needs so completely
415
00:19:53.910 --> 00:19:57.240
that he will eliminate all your deficiencies.
416
00:19:57.240 --> 00:19:58.920
He will meet all your physical
417
00:19:58.920 --> 00:20:01.890
and tangible needs until you're so full
418
00:20:01.890 --> 00:20:04.920
that you have no more capacity
to hold anything else.
419
00:20:04.920 --> 00:20:08.550
He will supply all your needs
until you're totally filled,
420
00:20:08.550 --> 00:20:11.640
packed, full and overflowing to the point
421
00:20:11.640 --> 00:20:15.660
of bursting at the
seams and spilling over.
422
00:20:15.660 --> 00:20:19.080
That is God's promise to those who give.
423
00:20:19.080 --> 00:20:23.310
And if you're a giver, you
can claim that promise.
424
00:20:23.310 --> 00:20:26.550
But whether you're a giver or
not, if you're a child of God,
425
00:20:26.550 --> 00:20:28.770
then you are in the flock of Jesus Christ
426
00:20:28.770 --> 00:20:33.120
and Jesus is the good shepherd
and as the good shepherd,
427
00:20:33.120 --> 00:20:35.520
he's going to take care of you.
428
00:20:35.520 --> 00:20:39.690
And that is why David declared in Psalm 23:1,
429
00:20:39.690 --> 00:20:44.370
The Lord is my shepherd I shall not want.
430
00:20:44.370 --> 00:20:48.490
And my friends, Jesus loves
you. He's watching over you.
431
00:20:48.490 --> 00:20:50.740
He wants to tend for your soul,
432
00:20:50.740 --> 00:20:53.350
and Jesus wants to meet your needs
433
00:20:53.350 --> 00:20:57.730
and be the ultimate provider in your life.
434
00:20:57.730 --> 00:21:00.310
I'll be back in just a moment
and I want to pray for you.
435
00:21:08.710 --> 00:21:12.880
Someone asked the question; What is the RIV?
436
00:21:12.880 --> 00:21:15.190
Well, that's a very good question
437
00:21:15.190 --> 00:21:17.170
and I would like to answer it.
438
00:21:17.170 --> 00:21:19.300
The letters RIV stand
439
00:21:19.300 --> 00:21:22.630
for the Renner Interpretive Version.
440
00:21:22.630 --> 00:21:27.130
And yes, I'm doing my own
version of the New Testament.
441
00:21:27.130 --> 00:21:28.990
I think you know that I've spent a lot
442
00:21:28.990 --> 00:21:31.210
of years studying the Greek New Testament
443
00:21:31.210 --> 00:21:33.340
and I'm doing my own version,
444
00:21:33.340 --> 00:21:36.160
which I call the Renner Interpretive Version:
445
00:21:36.160 --> 00:21:37.630
not a translation,
446
00:21:37.630 --> 00:21:39.460
but an interpretive version,
447
00:21:39.460 --> 00:21:40.301
which means,
448
00:21:40.301 --> 00:21:42.884
I'm taking the Greek words in the New Testament,
449
00:21:42.884 --> 00:21:44.350
which are just loaded,
450
00:21:44.350 --> 00:21:46.600
and I'm pulling all the concepts of all
451
00:21:46.600 --> 00:21:49.780
of those words into a
new interpretive version
452
00:21:49.780 --> 00:21:50.950
to give a fuller meaning
453
00:21:50.950 --> 00:21:53.920
of the Greek words in the
original text to those
454
00:21:53.920 --> 00:21:57.190
that are hungry to dive
deeper into the wonderful
455
00:21:57.190 --> 00:21:58.600
word of God.
456
00:21:58.600 --> 00:22:02.500
So my friends, that is what is the RIV,
457
00:22:02.500 --> 00:22:06.520
the Renner Interpretive Version of the New Testament.
458
00:22:06.520 --> 00:22:09.820
The 23rd Psalm is a favorite passage of scripture
459
00:22:09.820 --> 00:22:11.500
for many people and cherished
460
00:22:11.500 --> 00:22:13.360
by Christians all over the world.
461
00:22:13.360 --> 00:22:16.300
In this new 10-part series, Psalm 23,
462
00:22:16.300 --> 00:22:17.740
The Lord is My Shepherd,
463
00:22:17.740 --> 00:22:20.620
Rick Renner opens this powerful passage like you've never
464
00:22:20.620 --> 00:22:23.590
heard it before, so you can understand all the amazing
465
00:22:23.590 --> 00:22:26.740
promises that God makes
to you in the 23rd Psalm.
466
00:22:26.740 --> 00:22:29.170
The Lord really is your shepherd
467
00:22:29.170 --> 00:22:31.930
and he wants to lovingly take care of you.
468
00:22:31.930 --> 00:22:34.300
In this 10-part series, Rick will unfold
469
00:22:34.300 --> 00:22:37.690
for you: God's provision and protection: God's peace
470
00:22:37.690 --> 00:22:40.000
and restoration: God's guidance
471
00:22:40.000 --> 00:22:43.180
and prosperity: God's anointing and promises -
472
00:22:43.180 --> 00:22:44.680
and so much more.
473
00:22:44.680 --> 00:22:47.860
Rick Renner says, this is
one of my favorite series.
474
00:22:47.860 --> 00:22:51.040

493
00:23:39.250 --> 00:23:40.510
Hey, this is Rick Renner
494
00:23:40.510 --> 00:23:41.680
and I'm standing in one
495
00:23:41.680 --> 00:23:45.560
of the long corridors in the
Tulsa headquarters building
496
00:23:45.560 --> 00:23:49.100
and these corridors are
lined with photography
497
00:23:49.100 --> 00:23:50.450
of our past ministry.
498
00:23:50.450 --> 00:23:52.460
For example here, it's amazing.
499
00:23:52.460 --> 00:23:54.770
You see a picture of me and
Denise first starting our
500
00:23:54.770 --> 00:23:58.160
ministry as we're traveling
in the car with Paul
501
00:23:58.160 --> 00:24:00.950
and Phillip on her lap,
and there's little Joel,
502
00:24:00.950 --> 00:24:02.390
but then you look over here
503
00:24:02.390 --> 00:24:03.830
and you see our Russian ministry.
504
00:24:03.830 --> 00:24:06.950
Here's Golden Stars with some of the Russian movie stars
505
00:24:06.950 --> 00:24:09.050
who came to help us. At that event,
506
00:24:09.050 --> 00:24:12.680
we had more than 16,000 senior citizens show up.
507
00:24:12.680 --> 00:24:15.410
That is amazing. Then you see the youth ministry
508
00:24:15.410 --> 00:24:17.690
and us working with
members of the government
509
00:24:17.690 --> 00:24:19.820
and here you see again, me and Denise
510
00:24:19.820 --> 00:24:20.960
and our 1st little church
511
00:24:20.960 --> 00:24:23.780
we started in Arkansas many, many, many years ago.
512
00:24:23.780 --> 00:24:25.100
And then you look over here
513
00:24:25.100 --> 00:24:27.260
and you see us filming TV programs.
514
00:24:27.260 --> 00:24:28.820
I mean there's just so much.
515
00:24:28.820 --> 00:24:31.310
And when you walk through these hallways
516
00:24:31.310 --> 00:24:34.430
and look at all these pictures, you're just surrounded with
517
00:24:34.430 --> 00:24:39.410
what God has done throughout our ministry and it is amazing.
518
00:24:39.410 --> 00:24:42.830
And now every day in this facility,
519
00:24:42.830 --> 00:24:44.870
ministry is taking place.
520
00:24:44.870 --> 00:24:47.870
Oh, I wish you could hear the phone calls.
521
00:24:47.870 --> 00:24:51.230
And when our team begins
to pray, it is like a roar
522
00:24:51.230 --> 00:24:53.660
of prayer that you can hear when you walk
523
00:24:53.660 --> 00:24:55.430
through our partner care ministry
524
00:24:55.430 --> 00:24:58.550
or the letters that are
going out or the resources
525
00:24:58.550 --> 00:25:02.450
and resources are books and
USBs and all kinds of video
526
00:25:02.450 --> 00:25:05.810
and audio, and it's going
to the ends of the earth
527
00:25:05.810 --> 00:25:07.130
and we're able to do all of that
528
00:25:07.130 --> 00:25:10.640
because we have a facility
where we can do it.
529
00:25:10.640 --> 00:25:14.300
And paying off this facility
is our current goal.
530
00:25:14.300 --> 00:25:17.120
You know, when we started the
Ministry Expansion Project,
531
00:25:17.120 --> 00:25:18.260
it was quite large.
532
00:25:18.260 --> 00:25:22.910
70% of it is already finished
and I want to say thank you
533
00:25:22.910 --> 00:25:24.560
and now we need to keep it up
534
00:25:24.560 --> 00:25:27.170
until we knock out the remaining 30%.
535
00:25:27.170 --> 00:25:29.840
Please help us continue
until we finish it.
536
00:25:29.840 --> 00:25:31.730
And if you're not a part of the team yet,
537
00:25:31.730 --> 00:25:33.710
please pray about becoming a part
538
00:25:33.710 --> 00:25:36.710
of our Ministry Expansion Project giving team
539
00:25:36.710 --> 00:25:39.290
so we can pay off all of this
540
00:25:39.290 --> 00:25:43.400
and then liberate all that
money to take the gospel
541
00:25:43.400 --> 00:25:46.400
to the ends of the earth
and that's our desire.
542
00:25:46.400 --> 00:25:49.490
So I wanna say "thank you"
in advance for helping us.
543
00:25:57.980 --> 00:25:59.810
It has been such a pleasure to share
544
00:25:59.810 --> 00:26:03.020
with you today from the 23rd Psalm.
545
00:26:03.020 --> 00:26:07.280
Today we're also offering you
our series called, Psalm 23rd,
546
00:26:07.280 --> 00:26:11.180

00:26:13.070 --> 00:26:14.990

561
00:26:50.310 --> 00:26:51.720
But Father, I thank you
562
00:26:51.720 --> 00:26:55.440
that Jesus really is my shepherd.
563
00:26:55.440 --> 00:26:58.290
Just say that friend; The Lord is my shepherd.
564
00:26:58.290 --> 00:27:01.980
Personalize it and he is caring for you.
565
00:27:01.980 --> 00:27:03.240
Lord, you say
566
00:27:03.240 --> 00:27:06.120
that you will make sure we
have no want in our life.
567
00:27:06.120 --> 00:27:08.610
And Lord, I ask you to open the windows of Heaven
568
00:27:08.610 --> 00:27:10.890
to pour out your blessing into my life
569
00:27:10.890 --> 00:27:13.110
and into the life of my friend
570
00:27:13.110 --> 00:27:17.580
to meet our needs in Jesus' powerful name,
571
00:27:17.580 --> 00:27:19.980
Amen. We'll be back tomorrow
572
00:27:19.980 --> 00:27:21.150
and we're gonna pick up right here
573
00:27:21.150 --> 00:27:24.630
to see the next promise in the 23rd Psalm.
574
00:27:24.630 --> 00:27:26.970
But remember Ecclesiastes 8:4, it says,
575
00:27:26.970 --> 00:27:29.640
"Where the word of a king is, there's power."
576
00:27:29.640 --> 00:27:32.760
So let God's word work in your life today
577
00:27:32.760 --> 00:27:35.280
and I'll see you in the next program.
578
00:27:35.280 --> 00:27:37.530
If you've never received
Jesus as your Savior
579
00:27:37.530 --> 00:27:41.910
and Lord, now is the time for
you to experience a new life
580
00:27:41.910 --> 00:27:44.100
Jesus has to give you.
581
00:27:44.100 --> 00:27:48.150
Pray this prayer with me right now; Lord,
582
00:27:48.150 --> 00:27:52.170
I repent of my sin and receive you as my Savior
583
00:27:52.170 --> 00:27:55.140
and Lord. Wash away my sin
584
00:27:55.140 --> 00:27:58.170
and make me completely new.
585
00:27:58.170 --> 00:28:02.040
I thank you that my sin is removed
586
00:28:02.040 --> 00:28:07.040
and Satan no longer has any
right to lay claim on me.
587
00:28:07.500 --> 00:28:11.490
I faithfully promise that
I will serve you as my Lord
588
00:28:11.490 --> 00:28:13.200
for the rest of my life -
589
00:28:14.130 --> 00:28:15.130
Amen.
