00:00:01.260 --> 00:00:03.960
This program is made
possible by the giving

of the God called partners
of Renner Ministries.
3
00:00:08.040 --> 00:00:11.250
Get ready for a teaching
that feeds your spirit
4
00:00:11.250 --> 00:00:14.820
and your mind where the
word is the anchor in
5
00:00:14.820 --> 00:00:16.800
uncertain times
6
00:00:16.800 --> 00:00:20.070
and doctrine doesn't bend to culture.
7
00:00:20.070 --> 00:00:21.510
We keep it simple,
8
00:00:21.510 --> 00:00:26.070
but dive deep revealing a
truth that strengthens us,
9
00:00:26.940 --> 00:00:28.860
a love that emboldens,
10
00:00:29.970 --> 00:00:32.130
and a mission that touches the world.
11
00:00:34.470 --> 00:00:36.000
Let's join Rick Renner.
12
00:00:38.520 --> 00:00:40.260
Welcome to today's program.
13
00:00:40.260 --> 00:00:41.730
My name is Rick Renner,
14
00:00:41.730 --> 00:00:43.560
and what a privilege it is
15
00:00:43.560 --> 00:00:46.140
that I can come right into your space
16
00:00:46.140 --> 00:00:49.500
to bring you the wonderful
life transforming power
17
00:00:49.500 --> 00:00:50.940
of the word of God.
18
00:00:50.940 --> 00:00:55.080
And this week I'm going to begin teaching a brand new series
19
00:00:55.080 --> 00:00:59.310
that I've never taught before,
which is called, The Actions
20
00:00:59.310 --> 00:01:01.830
and the Personality of the Holy Spirit.
21
00:01:01.830 --> 00:01:04.290
Every day this week,
I'm going to be talking
22
00:01:04.290 --> 00:01:05.910
to you about the actions
23
00:01:05.910 --> 00:01:07.890
and the personality of the Holy Spirit.
24
00:01:07.890 --> 00:01:10.560
And this is really very
important teaching.
25
00:01:10.560 --> 00:01:13.350
It's a 5-part series and it comes with a study guide.
26
00:01:13.350 --> 00:01:16.080
So please go online to order yours now.
27
00:01:16.080 --> 00:01:18.270
And for the first time ever,
28
00:01:18.270 --> 00:01:22.050
I'm offering you my new book
called My Victory Filled Day,
29
00:01:22.050 --> 00:01:26.040
A Sparkling Gems from the Greek Guided Devotional Journey.
30
00:01:26.040 --> 00:01:28.320
If you don't have this
book, please order it.
31
00:01:28.320 --> 00:01:30.540
Go online to order all these things.
32
00:01:30.540 --> 00:01:34.080
And when you reach out to us,
we always want to know how
33
00:01:34.080 --> 00:01:38.340
to pray for you because we
really are praying people.
34
00:01:38.340 --> 00:01:42.330
And today I wanna share three
quick testimonies with you
35
00:01:42.330 --> 00:01:43.860
before I get into the program.
36
00:01:43.860 --> 00:01:45.630
So listen to this.
37
00:01:45.630 --> 00:01:47.250
We just prayed with a precious woman
38
00:01:47.250 --> 00:01:50.580
to receive the infilling
of the Holy Spirit.
39
00:01:50.580 --> 00:01:53.940
She previously sent a prayer
email wanting to be filled
40
00:01:53.940 --> 00:01:56.490
with the spirit, and we
sent her an email back
41
00:01:56.490 --> 00:01:59.160
to say we were praying for her
to be filled with the Spirit.
42
00:01:59.160 --> 00:02:01.140
And today she called
43
00:02:01.140 --> 00:02:03.150
and we actually led her through a prayer
44
00:02:03.150 --> 00:02:06.120
to receive the baptism in the Holy Spirit.
45
00:02:06.120 --> 00:02:07.410
Well, in this ministry,
46
00:02:07.410 --> 00:02:10.530
we believe in the baptism
in the Holy Spirit.
47
00:02:10.530 --> 00:02:13.920
And if you've never received
this experience, it is yours.
48
00:02:13.920 --> 00:02:15.210
It's waiting for you.
49
00:02:15.210 --> 00:02:17.310
And if you'll give us a
call, we'll pray with you.
50
00:02:17.310 --> 00:02:20.430
And today you'll be
filled with the Spirit.
51
00:02:20.430 --> 00:02:24.540
But listen to this next testimony. Our partner wrote to say,
52
00:02:24.540 --> 00:02:27.120
your teaching and overall
approach have helped me gain
53
00:02:27.120 --> 00:02:29.010
deeper insight and understanding
54
00:02:29.010 --> 00:02:30.930
of the Bible on a deeper level.
55
00:02:30.930 --> 00:02:34.830
I have more confidence and faith now as I continue to grow.
56
00:02:34.830 --> 00:02:37.920
Hosea 4:6 says, My people are destroyed
57
00:02:37.920 --> 00:02:39.090
for lack of knowledge.
58
00:02:39.090 --> 00:02:42.060
So thank you so much for helping me
59
00:02:42.060 --> 00:02:44.280
through the storm I'm going through.
60
00:02:44.280 --> 00:02:46.410
I hope I can share your teachings to help
61
00:02:46.410 --> 00:02:49.470
and empower others in my walk as we travel
62
00:02:49.470 --> 00:02:52.320
and win more souls for
the kingdom of heaven.
63
00:02:52.320 --> 00:02:53.850
Well, that's what it's all about.
64
00:02:53.850 --> 00:02:56.520
We are in the business of helping people
65
00:02:56.520 --> 00:02:59.530
with a wonderful life, transforming power
66
00:02:59.530 --> 00:03:00.790
of the word of God.
67
00:03:00.790 --> 00:03:05.080
And thank you for this testimony. But here's one more.
68
00:03:05.080 --> 00:03:07.840
A woman just called for the first time. She called
69
00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:10.600
because her hands have been so stiff
70
00:03:10.600 --> 00:03:12.160
and she could hardly function
71
00:03:12.160 --> 00:03:14.230
this morning. We prayed for healing,
72
00:03:14.230 --> 00:03:16.000
wholeness and restoration
73
00:03:16.000 --> 00:03:20.170
and for her trigger finger
to be loosed in Jesus' name.
74
00:03:20.170 --> 00:03:23.230
I asked her to do something
she could not do before
75
00:03:23.230 --> 00:03:25.870
and she started moving her hands around.
76
00:03:25.870 --> 00:03:28.990
I was getting her address
info when she said, all
77
00:03:28.990 --> 00:03:30.820
of the stiffness is gone.
78
00:03:30.820 --> 00:03:34.600
My hands feel normal. Thank you, Jesus.
79
00:03:34.600 --> 00:03:37.780
Well, we also thank Jesus
for answered prayer.
80
00:03:37.780 --> 00:03:40.300
And my friend, if you have
a need in your life, we want
81
00:03:40.300 --> 00:03:41.320
to pray for you.
82
00:03:41.320 --> 00:03:45.070
So just reach out to us by calling the number on the screen
83
00:03:45.070 --> 00:03:46.600
or by sending us an email.
84
00:03:46.600 --> 00:03:48.700
And the moment we hear from you, just like we prayed
85
00:03:48.700 --> 00:03:51.220
with these, we're going to pray for you.
86
00:03:51.220 --> 00:03:53.560
And Jesus is really gonna do what needs
87
00:03:53.560 --> 00:03:55.450
to be done in your life.
88
00:03:55.450 --> 00:03:57.970
But today I'm going to begin
a brand new series about, The
89
00:03:57.970 --> 00:04:01.240
Actions and the Personality
of the Holy Spirit.
90
00:04:01.240 --> 00:04:03.220
And I want to begin this series
91
00:04:03.220 --> 00:04:06.190
by giving you my personal testimony.
92
00:04:06.190 --> 00:04:09.130
I was born into a Christian family
93
00:04:09.130 --> 00:04:12.430
and when I was eight days
old, I went to church
94
00:04:12.430 --> 00:04:13.480
for the first time.
95
00:04:13.480 --> 00:04:16.270
And because my father was so
good to document everything
96
00:04:16.270 --> 00:04:18.940
with his brownie camera
back in those days,
97
00:04:18.940 --> 00:04:21.160
we actually have original film footage
98
00:04:21.160 --> 00:04:24.010
of the first time my parents
loaded me up in the car
99
00:04:24.010 --> 00:04:26.680
with my older sister
and took me to church.
100
00:04:26.680 --> 00:04:29.380
We actually have the
documentation of that.
101
00:04:29.380 --> 00:04:31.930
And I literally grew up in the church
102
00:04:31.930 --> 00:04:35.770
and I'm so thankful for the
church where I was raised
103
00:04:35.770 --> 00:04:37.420
because our church understood
104
00:04:37.420 --> 00:04:39.040
what it meant to be the church.
105
00:04:39.040 --> 00:04:40.450
It wasn't religious.
106
00:04:40.450 --> 00:04:43.780
It was a place where our
life really took place.
107
00:04:43.780 --> 00:04:46.060
We didn't go to church.
We were the church.
108
00:04:46.060 --> 00:04:48.220
We lived our life at the church.
109
00:04:48.220 --> 00:04:50.080
We went to Sunday school, I was a member
110
00:04:50.080 --> 00:04:53.290
of the sunbeams that'll tell
you I was a Southern Baptist.
111
00:04:53.290 --> 00:04:55.180
I was in the little choir
112
00:04:55.180 --> 00:04:56.380
and my mother would lay
113
00:04:56.380 --> 00:04:59.680
by my side every night
when I would go to sleep
114
00:04:59.680 --> 00:05:02.020
and my mother would speak
to me about eternity.
115
00:05:02.020 --> 00:05:05.140
Never think that a child
is too young to understand.
116
00:05:05.140 --> 00:05:07.000
I was very, very young.
117
00:05:07.000 --> 00:05:08.980
In fact, I first came under conviction
118
00:05:08.980 --> 00:05:11.140
of sin at the age of four.
119
00:05:11.140 --> 00:05:14.200
And the reason it was so
easy for me to understand is
120
00:05:14.200 --> 00:05:16.030
because my mother spoke
121
00:05:16.030 --> 00:05:19.390
to me every single night about eternity.
122
00:05:19.390 --> 00:05:22.840
And I begin to wonder if
I died, where would I go?
123
00:05:22.840 --> 00:05:26.590
And at the age of 4, I really
begin to comprehend my need
124
00:05:26.590 --> 00:05:28.090
to give my life to Christ.
125
00:05:28.090 --> 00:05:31.030
Then we had a revival
meeting in our church.
126
00:05:31.030 --> 00:05:33.220
Now today when people hear
the word revival, they think
127
00:05:33.220 --> 00:05:34.840
of a major move of God.
128
00:05:34.840 --> 00:05:38.800
But back in those days, our
revival was a week long series
129
00:05:38.800 --> 00:05:40.180
of meetings in the church
130
00:05:40.180 --> 00:05:42.160
and we called them revival meetings.
131
00:05:42.160 --> 00:05:44.710
And usually there was a guest
speaker and he would come
132
00:05:44.710 --> 00:05:47.200
and he would preach about the 2nd Coming.
133
00:05:47.200 --> 00:05:49.630
He would preach about
Christians that had backsliden
134
00:05:49.630 --> 00:05:51.250
and he would preach about hell.
135
00:05:51.250 --> 00:05:55.780
And one of those nights that
evangelist preached about hell
136
00:05:55.780 --> 00:05:58.760
and his preaching was so vivid,
137
00:05:58.760 --> 00:06:01.070
I nearly felt I could feel the flames
138
00:06:01.070 --> 00:06:03.680
of hell on my feet below me.
139
00:06:03.680 --> 00:06:04.880
It just gripped my heart.
140
00:06:04.880 --> 00:06:08.840
And I really understood by this time the age of 5,
141
00:06:08.840 --> 00:06:12.110
that if I died in my
sin, I would go to hell.
142
00:06:12.110 --> 00:06:14.930
I understood that because
my mother prepared my heart
143
00:06:14.930 --> 00:06:17.690
and I wanted to walk the aisle
and give my heart to Jesus.
144
00:06:17.690 --> 00:06:20.270
But mama was afraid that I was too young,
145
00:06:20.270 --> 00:06:23.480
and maybe I didn't really
understand yet, but I did.
146
00:06:23.480 --> 00:06:25.640
And finally, after that
week of revival meetings,
147
00:06:25.640 --> 00:06:29.660
in the very next Sunday, the
pastor gave the invitation,
148
00:06:29.660 --> 00:06:32.270
the altar call at the end of the service
149
00:06:32.270 --> 00:06:34.490
And I found myself slipping out of my pew
150
00:06:34.490 --> 00:06:37.250
and walking down to the
front where I took the hand
151
00:06:37.250 --> 00:06:40.760
of my beloved pastor who I loved so much,
152
00:06:40.760 --> 00:06:44.240
and he said, Ricky, why
have you come forward?
153
00:06:44.240 --> 00:06:47.120
I remember my parents were in
the choir loft right in front
154
00:06:47.120 --> 00:06:50.240
of me watching me as I
walked down to the front
155
00:06:50.240 --> 00:06:52.610
and looking at my parents and
then looking at the pastor,
156
00:06:52.610 --> 00:06:55.820
I said, Brother Post, that was his name,
157
00:06:55.820 --> 00:06:58.400
I've come to give my heart to Jesus.
158
00:06:58.400 --> 00:07:01.190
And that morning I got on my knees
159
00:07:01.190 --> 00:07:03.470
with my Sunday school teacher.
160
00:07:03.470 --> 00:07:05.150
My parents came outta the choir loft
161
00:07:05.150 --> 00:07:07.010
to meet me down at the front.
162
00:07:07.010 --> 00:07:09.050
And I made my public profession of faith
163
00:07:09.050 --> 00:07:10.400
and gave my heart to Christ.
164
00:07:10.400 --> 00:07:15.050
And guess what? That very
night I was baptized in water,
165
00:07:15.050 --> 00:07:17.030
but I was so little
166
00:07:17.030 --> 00:07:18.620
that the people in the auditorium couldn't
167
00:07:18.620 --> 00:07:20.270
see me in the baptistry.
168
00:07:20.270 --> 00:07:22.940
So the pastor put a chair in the baptistry
169
00:07:22.940 --> 00:07:25.190
so I could stand on the
chair to be baptized
170
00:07:25.190 --> 00:07:26.450
so people could see the top
171
00:07:26.450 --> 00:07:28.100
of my head peeking over the baptistry
172
00:07:28.100 --> 00:07:29.750
and know that I was really there.
173
00:07:29.750 --> 00:07:34.430
And that began my life
of service to Jesus.
174
00:07:34.430 --> 00:07:36.980
And in our church where I was raised,
175
00:07:36.980 --> 00:07:40.070
we were firm believers in the Bible,
176
00:07:40.070 --> 00:07:42.410
the pastor had a fervent
love for the word of God.
177
00:07:42.410 --> 00:07:44.540
He had a fervent love for the lost.
178
00:07:44.540 --> 00:07:48.320
And he would teach the Bible
verse by verse, chapter
179
00:07:48.320 --> 00:07:50.390
by chapter, he would talk
180
00:07:50.390 --> 00:07:54.380
to us about our God-given responsibility to reach the lost.
181
00:07:54.380 --> 00:07:56.840
And because of that, our church regularly
182
00:07:56.840 --> 00:07:57.890
went into the neighborhood.
183
00:07:57.890 --> 00:08:00.530
We knocked on doors, we
had evangelism programs
184
00:08:00.530 --> 00:08:03.200
where we were reaching
the world around us.
185
00:08:03.200 --> 00:08:06.860
And I grew up in a mixture
of loving the word of God
186
00:08:06.860 --> 00:08:10.520
and also understanding the
need to reach the lost.
187
00:08:10.520 --> 00:08:14.270
Everything about our
church was just amazing.
188
00:08:14.270 --> 00:08:18.170
And I have to tell you
that much of who I am today
189
00:08:18.170 --> 00:08:21.410
is directly rooted in the
church that I grew up in:
190
00:08:21.410 --> 00:08:23.390
how I view the church,
191
00:08:23.390 --> 00:08:26.000
what I believe about our responsibility
192
00:08:26.000 --> 00:08:27.740
to fulfill the great commission,
193
00:08:27.740 --> 00:08:29.210
my love for the word of God,
194
00:08:29.210 --> 00:08:32.270
all of that was rooted in me when I was growing
195
00:08:32.270 --> 00:08:33.710
up in that church.
196
00:08:33.710 --> 00:08:38.710
But when it came to the Holy
Spirit, we didn't know much.
197
00:08:38.720 --> 00:08:41.090
We understood that it was the Holy Spirit
198
00:08:41.090 --> 00:08:43.220
that convicted us of sin.
199
00:08:43.220 --> 00:08:44.810
We understood that it was the Holy Spirit
200
00:08:44.810 --> 00:08:47.600
that regenerated us in new birth.
201
00:08:47.600 --> 00:08:50.720
We understood that the Holy Spirit was willing to empower us
202
00:08:50.720 --> 00:08:53.180
for service and to share
Christ with others.
203
00:08:53.180 --> 00:08:54.920
We understood the fruit of the spirit was
204
00:08:54.920 --> 00:08:57.150
to be produced in our lives.
205
00:08:57.150 --> 00:08:59.100
We understood all of that.
206
00:08:59.100 --> 00:09:01.080
But when it came to the supernatural working
207
00:09:01.080 --> 00:09:04.140
of the Holy Spirit, and particularly the gifts
208
00:09:04.140 --> 00:09:06.930
of the Holy Spirit and the present day movement
209
00:09:06.930 --> 00:09:10.260
of the Holy Spirit in our midst, we didn't believe in it.
210
00:09:10.260 --> 00:09:12.300
And in fact, we were doctrinally
211
00:09:12.300 --> 00:09:14.490
what is called secessionist.
212
00:09:14.490 --> 00:09:15.720
Now, I'm gonna go to my glass board.
213
00:09:15.720 --> 00:09:17.550
I'm gonna write this
down because I want you
214
00:09:17.550 --> 00:09:19.050
to learn these terms.
215
00:09:19.050 --> 00:09:22.350
The word secessionist is a doctrinal term.
216
00:09:22.350 --> 00:09:25.380
Here's how you spell it, secessionist.
217
00:09:26.820 --> 00:09:30.720
And we believed that the
gifts of the spirit ceased.
218
00:09:30.720 --> 00:09:32.100
And that's why people
219
00:09:32.100 --> 00:09:34.680
who believe this are called secessionist.
220
00:09:34.680 --> 00:09:37.500
And we really believe that at
the end of the apostolic aids,
221
00:09:37.500 --> 00:09:38.850
when the apostles died,
222
00:09:38.850 --> 00:09:41.040
there were no more supernatural
223
00:09:41.040 --> 00:09:42.930
manifestations of the spirit.
224
00:09:42.930 --> 00:09:46.440
So if we came to First
Corinthians chapter 12 and 13
225
00:09:46.440 --> 00:09:48.300
and 14, which really is a lot
226
00:09:48.300 --> 00:09:51.300
of space in the New Testament
about the gifts of the Spirit,
227
00:09:51.300 --> 00:09:52.830
we just jumped over that
228
00:09:52.830 --> 00:09:54.720
because we believed it really had no
229
00:09:54.720 --> 00:09:56.400
application for us today.
230
00:09:56.400 --> 00:09:59.700
Now, today I am what is
called a continuation.
231
00:10:00.630 --> 00:10:04.050
And that's probably what
you are too, A continuation.
232
00:10:04.050 --> 00:10:07.590
And a continuation is one
who believes the gifts
233
00:10:07.590 --> 00:10:10.620
of the Holy Spirit still
functioned today just like they did
234
00:10:10.620 --> 00:10:13.230
in the beginning, and they
will function all the way
235
00:10:13.230 --> 00:10:15.360
to the end of the church age.
236
00:10:15.360 --> 00:10:19.410
But when I was growing
up, we were secessionists.
237
00:10:19.410 --> 00:10:22.050
We just did not believe that the gifts
238
00:10:22.050 --> 00:10:25.440
of the Holy Spirit were still
in manifestation in our day
239
00:10:25.440 --> 00:10:26.850
and in our time.
240
00:10:26.850 --> 00:10:30.240
And in fact, if anybody
claimed to have a Pentecostal
241
00:10:30.240 --> 00:10:33.750
or a charismatic experience,
we kinda laughed at them.
242
00:10:33.750 --> 00:10:36.000
They said, oh, they've got bad doctrine.
243
00:10:36.000 --> 00:10:39.000
And whatever it is that
they say they're manifesting
244
00:10:39.000 --> 00:10:42.690
and experiencing, it's just a
figment of their imagination
245
00:10:42.690 --> 00:10:45.900
because we know there's no such thing
246
00:10:45.900 --> 00:10:49.290
as current day gifts of the Holy Spirit.
247
00:10:49.290 --> 00:10:50.820
We just dismissed that
248
00:10:50.820 --> 00:10:55.110
and we relegated the ministry
of the Holy Spirit primarily
249
00:10:55.110 --> 00:10:58.920
to the conviction of sin
and to help us witness.
250
00:10:58.920 --> 00:10:59.940
And basically that's all
251
00:10:59.940 --> 00:11:01.200
that we allowed the Holy Spirit to do.
252
00:11:01.200 --> 00:11:04.590
And that's all we believed
that he still did.
253
00:11:04.590 --> 00:11:06.210
And every week during the invitation,
254
00:11:06.210 --> 00:11:08.940
the pastor would come forward
after he had preached,
255
00:11:08.940 --> 00:11:11.370
and he would pray nearly the same prayer.
256
00:11:11.370 --> 00:11:16.370
He would say, father, I ask
now that the Holy Spirit
257
00:11:16.620 --> 00:11:19.650
would fall on every unsaved man and woman
258
00:11:19.650 --> 00:11:21.270
and anybody that is backslidden
259
00:11:21.270 --> 00:11:24.390
and in sin that you would convict them
260
00:11:24.390 --> 00:11:26.850
until they would come forward and recommit
261
00:11:26.850 --> 00:11:28.230
or give their life to Christ.
262
00:11:28.230 --> 00:11:32.700
And in my mind, the Holy
Spirit was like this divine
263
00:11:32.700 --> 00:11:36.755
blob that somehow moved
across the congregation.
264
00:11:36.755 --> 00:11:38.730
And if you were in sin, he fell on you
265
00:11:38.730 --> 00:11:40.020
and you knew that he fell on you
266
00:11:40.020 --> 00:11:42.090
because your heart would begin to race
267
00:11:42.090 --> 00:11:44.160
and begin to palpitate.
268
00:11:44.160 --> 00:11:45.960
And to my young mind,
269
00:11:45.960 --> 00:11:48.210
that was the ministry of the Holy Spirit.
270
00:11:48.210 --> 00:11:49.470
And I kind of thought
271
00:11:49.470 --> 00:11:51.720
that if you didn't surrender
in the church service,
272
00:11:51.720 --> 00:11:54.280
then he would chase you
home the hound of heaven,
273
00:11:54.280 --> 00:11:55.630
and he would steal your sleep
274
00:11:55.630 --> 00:11:58.420
and keep you up at night
until finally you repented
275
00:11:58.420 --> 00:12:00.790
and gave your life to
Christ and got things right.
276
00:12:00.790 --> 00:12:03.460
That's what I believed about the
277
00:12:03.460 --> 00:12:04.690
ministry of the Holy Spirit.
278
00:12:04.690 --> 00:12:05.770
And even when we went out
279
00:12:05.770 --> 00:12:07.420
to visit people on Wednesday nights
280
00:12:07.420 --> 00:12:10.450
and to knock on doors, we would pray
281
00:12:10.450 --> 00:12:12.730
and ask the Holy Spirit to give us power.
282
00:12:12.730 --> 00:12:15.220
But no one ever explained
to me what the power
283
00:12:15.220 --> 00:12:17.080
of the Holy Spirit was.
284
00:12:17.080 --> 00:12:21.130
We really didn't believe in
any powerful manifestations.
285
00:12:21.130 --> 00:12:24.220
But when I was 12 years old,
Lisa, Rick, you were so young.
286
00:12:24.220 --> 00:12:27.460
I was young. And this
is is is the advantage
287
00:12:27.460 --> 00:12:29.350
of raising your kids in church.
288
00:12:29.350 --> 00:12:31.840
Start them early, start them early,
289
00:12:31.840 --> 00:12:33.580
let them come to Christ early.
290
00:12:33.580 --> 00:12:34.990
Let them start walking with the Lord
291
00:12:34.990 --> 00:12:36.010
very early in their life.
292
00:12:36.010 --> 00:12:40.210
By the time I was 12, I was
already asking questions.
293
00:12:40.210 --> 00:12:42.040
I was saying, surely
there's got to be more
294
00:12:42.040 --> 00:12:45.640
to the Holy Spirit than
what I have known so far.
295
00:12:45.640 --> 00:12:49.000
And I opened my Bible to 1 Corinthians 12:13
296
00:12:49.000 --> 00:12:52.780
& 14, and saw how much territory in the New Testament,
297
00:12:52.780 --> 00:12:56.500
how much space is allocated to
the gifts of the Holy Spirit.
298
00:12:56.500 --> 00:13:00.850
And as a 12-year-old, I began
to think, you know what?
299
00:13:00.850 --> 00:13:03.430
There's more to this
than what I've been told.
300
00:13:03.430 --> 00:13:05.560
And I began to be hungry.
301
00:13:05.560 --> 00:13:08.800
Well, one day I went to see my aunt
302
00:13:08.800 --> 00:13:11.410
and my aunt was, are you ready?
303
00:13:11.410 --> 00:13:13.240
A Pentecostal. And
304
00:13:13.240 --> 00:13:15.130
because she was a Pentecostal, we kind
305
00:13:15.130 --> 00:13:17.080
of kept her at a distance
306
00:13:17.080 --> 00:13:19.690
because we thought that doctrinally, she was one
307
00:13:19.690 --> 00:13:21.520
of them that's off.
308
00:13:21.520 --> 00:13:23.800
And whatever she was claiming to experience, surely
309
00:13:23.800 --> 00:13:26.260
it was just a figment of her imagination.
310
00:13:26.260 --> 00:13:28.300
But one day I walked into her house
311
00:13:28.300 --> 00:13:32.830
and when I did, she was listening to a reel to reel tape.
312
00:13:32.830 --> 00:13:35.410
This was before cassette tapes.
313
00:13:35.410 --> 00:13:37.750
And she was listening to a reel to reel tape.
314
00:13:37.750 --> 00:13:40.240
And it was Kenneth Hagin. I didn't know who it was.
315
00:13:40.240 --> 00:13:42.460
I never heard this man in my life.
316
00:13:42.460 --> 00:13:46.210
But all of a sudden he began
to give a message in tongues.
317
00:13:47.050 --> 00:13:48.250
And that was the first time I'd ever
318
00:13:48.250 --> 00:13:49.420
heard tongues in my life.
319
00:13:50.350 --> 00:13:51.640
And it stunned me.
320
00:13:51.640 --> 00:13:54.220
By this time I was 14 years old,
321
00:13:54.220 --> 00:13:58.870
I stood paralyzed in her living room listening to this reel
322
00:13:58.870 --> 00:14:01.720
to reel tape - a man speaking in tongues.
323
00:14:01.720 --> 00:14:06.580
And I thought to myself, oh
my goodness, this is tongues.
324
00:14:06.580 --> 00:14:09.160
And about that time she came walking
325
00:14:09.160 --> 00:14:11.740
through the kitchen door and
saw me standing in her living
326
00:14:11.740 --> 00:14:14.740
room and saw that I
was in a state of shock
327
00:14:14.740 --> 00:14:17.650
because I was listening to
somebody speaking in tongues.
328
00:14:17.650 --> 00:14:18.790
Her eyes were huge
329
00:14:18.790 --> 00:14:20.860
because she knew she probably
was gonna get in trouble
330
00:14:20.860 --> 00:14:22.600
with my parents.
331
00:14:22.600 --> 00:14:25.600
But you know, that experience
put a hook in my heart.
332
00:14:26.440 --> 00:14:28.750
When I heard somebody speaking in tongues,
333
00:14:28.750 --> 00:14:30.610
it did not scare me.
334
00:14:30.610 --> 00:14:32.590
Today people are afraid
335
00:14:32.590 --> 00:14:34.150
that if they speak in tongues in church,
336
00:14:34.150 --> 00:14:35.500
it's gonna scare unbelievers.
337
00:14:35.500 --> 00:14:38.140
Did it scare you? I doubt it.
338
00:14:38.140 --> 00:14:40.960
In fact, it probably hooked
you and dragged you on in.
339
00:14:40.960 --> 00:14:44.320
When I heard him speaking in tongues, it piqued my interest.
340
00:14:44.320 --> 00:14:46.480
It put a hook in my heart,
341
00:14:46.480 --> 00:14:50.960
and I began to come see
my aunt every single day
342
00:14:50.960 --> 00:14:54.710
after school: about 3 o'clock, I'd walk in the door
343
00:14:54.710 --> 00:14:57.320
of her house, I'd bring my
Bible, I'd sit down, I'd say,
344
00:14:57.320 --> 00:14:59.240
let's talk about the Holy Spirit.
345
00:14:59.240 --> 00:15:02.870
And she began to walk me
through the scriptures
346
00:15:02.870 --> 00:15:05.630
and begin to teach me about the infilling
347
00:15:05.630 --> 00:15:07.490
and the baptism in the Holy Spirit.
348
00:15:07.490 --> 00:15:09.500
And one by one, she began
349
00:15:09.500 --> 00:15:11.570
to answer all the doctrinal arguments
350
00:15:11.570 --> 00:15:15.080
that I had heard in my
young life against the
351
00:15:15.080 --> 00:15:16.130
gifts of the Holy Spirit.
352
00:15:16.130 --> 00:15:18.650
And she answered every single question.
353
00:15:18.650 --> 00:15:23.650
And finally, in the
month of January, 1974,
354
00:15:24.080 --> 00:15:26.270
one day I came to her
house, I got on my knees
355
00:15:26.270 --> 00:15:28.190
and I said, today is my day.
356
00:15:28.190 --> 00:15:32.090
I want to be baptized in the Holy Spirit.
357
00:15:32.090 --> 00:15:33.320
She laid her hands on me
358
00:15:33.320 --> 00:15:35.000
and I was filled with the Holy Spirit.
359
00:15:35.000 --> 00:15:37.760
It was a glorious, glorious experience.
360
00:15:37.760 --> 00:15:40.760
And that day I prayed in other tongues
361
00:15:40.760 --> 00:15:43.820
and it began my search
to really understand
362
00:15:43.820 --> 00:15:45.590
who is the Holy Spirit.
363
00:15:45.590 --> 00:15:46.730
And about that time,
364
00:15:46.730 --> 00:15:50.150
I found a radio program which
came on every afternoon.
365
00:15:50.150 --> 00:15:53.690
It was a very unusual woman named Kathryn Kuhlman.
366
00:15:53.690 --> 00:15:56.120
And every day when her program
would come on, she would say,
367
00:15:56.120 --> 00:15:59.540
hello there, and are you waiting for me?
368
00:16:00.470 --> 00:16:02.780
And I would actually answer, yes, I'm here
369
00:16:02.780 --> 00:16:03.800
and I'm waiting for you.
370
00:16:03.800 --> 00:16:05.150
And I would listen to her
371
00:16:05.150 --> 00:16:08.450
as she would describe a relationship with the Holy Spirit.
372
00:16:08.450 --> 00:16:12.050
I'd never heard anybody talk
about having a relationship
373
00:16:12.050 --> 00:16:13.760
with the Holy Spirit.
374
00:16:13.760 --> 00:16:16.370
And soon I discovered that
she was coming to our city
375
00:16:16.370 --> 00:16:19.490
to hold one of her big miracle services.
376
00:16:19.490 --> 00:16:21.140
So I decided to join the choir
377
00:16:21.140 --> 00:16:24.830
because the choir had the
best seats in the building.
378
00:16:24.830 --> 00:16:27.560
I joined the choir. And
when the service began,
379
00:16:27.560 --> 00:16:30.740
it felt like the electricity
was released that began
380
00:16:30.740 --> 00:16:33.500
to reverberate throughout
that entire auditorium.
381
00:16:33.500 --> 00:16:35.510
You could literally feel
the anointing of God.
382
00:16:35.510 --> 00:16:38.780
And soon Kathryn Kuhlman
came out on the stage
383
00:16:38.780 --> 00:16:41.930
and she said, I'm just going
to speak a few minutes today.
384
00:16:41.930 --> 00:16:46.760
But as she spoke, I saw in front of me on the stage a person
385
00:16:46.760 --> 00:16:49.280
who was fellowshiping with the Holy Spirit.
386
00:16:49.280 --> 00:16:51.470
I'd never seen anyone in relationship
387
00:16:51.470 --> 00:16:53.030
with the spirit of God like that.
388
00:16:53.030 --> 00:16:54.860
And it just captivated me.
389
00:16:54.860 --> 00:16:55.910
And soon, about an hour
390
00:16:55.910 --> 00:16:58.550
and a half later, she said
she was just gonna speak
391
00:16:58.550 --> 00:17:01.190
for a few moments, but the
time just passed like this.
392
00:17:01.190 --> 00:17:03.230
She began to point her
finger to different parts
393
00:17:03.230 --> 00:17:05.390
of the auditorium and
began to call out miracles
394
00:17:05.390 --> 00:17:07.190
and healings that were happening.
395
00:17:07.190 --> 00:17:09.830
And soon this stage was filled with people
396
00:17:09.830 --> 00:17:11.900
who were testifying of the power of God.
397
00:17:11.900 --> 00:17:14.000
And then to wrap it up,
398
00:17:14.000 --> 00:17:16.070
she gave an invitation at
the end of the meeting.
399
00:17:16.070 --> 00:17:19.130
And I had never seen so
many people come forward
400
00:17:19.130 --> 00:17:20.480
to give their heart to Christ.
401
00:17:20.480 --> 00:17:22.550
And of course, because
I was raised a Baptist
402
00:17:22.550 --> 00:17:26.210
and we believed in witnessing,
this really impacted me
403
00:17:26.210 --> 00:17:29.090
that she didn't just talk about the Holy Spirit and miracles
404
00:17:29.090 --> 00:17:31.520
but the result was people got saved
405
00:17:31.520 --> 00:17:33.410
and a lot of people got saved.
406
00:17:35.240 --> 00:17:37.100
Very soon after that, I heard
407
00:17:37.100 --> 00:17:39.860
that Oral Roberts was teaching
a class at Oral Roberts
408
00:17:39.860 --> 00:17:42.260
University, and the
class was called the Holy
409
00:17:42.260 --> 00:17:44.090
Spirit in the Now.
410
00:17:44.090 --> 00:17:46.670
So I decided as a young
man, I was going to register
411
00:17:46.670 --> 00:17:48.650
and enroll in that class, and I did.
412
00:17:48.650 --> 00:17:52.650
And every week I sat on my
chair on the very front row
413
00:17:52.650 --> 00:17:54.060
with my little tape recorder.
414
00:17:54.060 --> 00:17:56.730
I would push play when
he would begin to speak,
415
00:17:56.730 --> 00:17:58.920
and I captured every
word which Oral taught
416
00:17:58.920 --> 00:18:00.120
about the Holy Spirit.
417
00:18:00.120 --> 00:18:01.380
And not long after that,
418
00:18:01.380 --> 00:18:04.920
I found myself in a Kenneth Hagin meeting.
419
00:18:04.920 --> 00:18:08.130
Prior to that, I'd been diagnosed by the doctor,
420
00:18:08.130 --> 00:18:11.610
as having a birth defect in my kidneys,
421
00:18:11.610 --> 00:18:14.610
and it was so severe and
I had so many infections,
422
00:18:14.610 --> 00:18:16.710
they wanted to go in and
operate on my kidneys.
423
00:18:16.710 --> 00:18:21.510
But at that time, back in 1975, it was a very risky surgery
424
00:18:21.510 --> 00:18:23.940
and there was peril connected to it.
425
00:18:23.940 --> 00:18:25.290
So my parents didn't want me to do it,
426
00:18:25.290 --> 00:18:27.210
so they put me on medication.
427
00:18:27.210 --> 00:18:30.600
Well, in that service, in the summer of 1975,
428
00:18:30.600 --> 00:18:34.500
Kenneth Hagen preached a
message on the man God uses.
429
00:18:34.500 --> 00:18:36.840
And at the end of the service,
he invited people forward
430
00:18:36.840 --> 00:18:40.560
who wanted to be divinely
empowered for service.
431
00:18:40.560 --> 00:18:43.410
I went forward because I wanted that.
432
00:18:43.410 --> 00:18:46.500
But when he touched me,
and he barely touched me.
433
00:18:46.500 --> 00:18:48.840
In fact, to this day, I'm not
even sure if he really touched
434
00:18:48.840 --> 00:18:51.060
me, but he reached out toward me.
435
00:18:51.060 --> 00:18:53.190
And the next thing I
knew, I was on the ground.
436
00:18:53.190 --> 00:18:57.090
My legs just collapsed under
me, and I couldn't get up.
437
00:18:57.090 --> 00:19:00.660
And I felt power like electricity moving from my feet
438
00:19:00.660 --> 00:19:03.240
to my head and back to my
feet and back to my head,
439
00:19:03.240 --> 00:19:05.640
and back to my feet,
pulsating back and forth, back
440
00:19:05.640 --> 00:19:07.320
and forth, back and forth,
441
00:19:07.320 --> 00:19:12.210
and when I stood up, I was completely healed in my kidneys.
442
00:19:12.210 --> 00:19:14.520
That's not what I came forward for.
443
00:19:14.520 --> 00:19:18.330
I came forward for divine
empowerment, which I received.
444
00:19:18.330 --> 00:19:22.140
But along with it, I
received a miraculous,
445
00:19:22.140 --> 00:19:25.110
instantaneous healing of my kidneys.
446
00:19:25.110 --> 00:19:29.010
And I have never had an issue
with my kidneys from that day
447
00:19:29.010 --> 00:19:32.100
until the present and many decades have passed
448
00:19:32.100 --> 00:19:35.310
since. I believe in the healing power of God,
449
00:19:35.310 --> 00:19:36.750
I am a recipient of it.
450
00:19:36.750 --> 00:19:39.510
And over the years, Denise and I and our family
451
00:19:39.510 --> 00:19:41.160
and our ministry, we have seen many, many,
452
00:19:41.160 --> 00:19:44.670
many people receive miracles and healings.
453
00:19:44.670 --> 00:19:49.670
Wow. But all of this
began when I got hungry.
454
00:19:50.310 --> 00:19:53.640
I just knew there had to be more than
455
00:19:53.640 --> 00:19:55.320
what I was experiencing.
456
00:19:55.320 --> 00:19:59.700
But eventually I was led to John 14:
457
00:19:59.700 --> 00:20:04.290
15 & 16 where Jesus elaborated about the ministry
458
00:20:04.290 --> 00:20:05.820
of the Holy Spirit.
459
00:20:05.820 --> 00:20:07.350
And that is where I'm going
460
00:20:07.350 --> 00:20:09.600
to pick up in tomorrow's episode.
461
00:20:09.600 --> 00:20:13.140
So please don't miss it, but
I've got more to say to you
462
00:20:13.140 --> 00:20:14.940
and then I'll be back in just a moment.
463
00:20:23.220 --> 00:20:24.300
Hey, this is Rick Renner.
464
00:20:24.300 --> 00:20:26.370
And somebody has asked the question,
465
00:20:26.370 --> 00:20:31.080
What do I do when I'm struggling in my faith to the point
466
00:20:31.080 --> 00:20:36.080
that I'm even beginning to doubt the existence of God?
467
00:20:36.270 --> 00:20:39.120
Well, that's a spirit of doubt
that's coming against you.
468
00:20:39.120 --> 00:20:42.570
And you need to deal with
it like it is a spirit.
469
00:20:42.570 --> 00:20:45.990
It's an enemy coming to steal your faith.
470
00:20:45.990 --> 00:20:48.550
And we're told in James 4:7 that you're
471
00:20:48.550 --> 00:20:51.940
to submit yourself to
God and resist the devil
472
00:20:51.940 --> 00:20:53.950
and he will flee from you.
473
00:20:53.950 --> 00:20:56.470
So first of all, you need to say, Father,
474
00:20:56.470 --> 00:20:58.600
I'm submitting myself to you.
475
00:20:58.600 --> 00:21:02.260
And when you're in submission
to God, it empowers you
476
00:21:02.260 --> 00:21:06.310
to take a stand against that
spirit of doubt and unbelief.
477
00:21:06.310 --> 00:21:10.180
You can resist it. And the Bible says it will flee from you.
478
00:21:10.180 --> 00:21:13.420
And that word flee describes somebody moving their feet
479
00:21:13.420 --> 00:21:15.010
as fast as they can.
480
00:21:15.010 --> 00:21:16.630
They're running so fast
481
00:21:16.630 --> 00:21:19.660
that their feet never hit
the ground at one time.
482
00:21:19.660 --> 00:21:20.800
So if a spirit of doubt
483
00:21:20.800 --> 00:21:24.100
and unbelief is coming against
you, submit yourself to God
484
00:21:24.100 --> 00:21:27.610
and rebuke that spirit and
tell it to hit the road.
485
00:21:28.630 --> 00:21:31.600
Are you ready to experience
a deeper relationship
486
00:21:31.600 --> 00:21:33.010
with the Spirit of God?
487
00:21:33.010 --> 00:21:35.050

because we are sending resources to the ends of the Earth.
522
00:23:18.340 --> 00:23:21.010
And when I talk about resources, I'm talking about books.
523
00:23:21.010 --> 00:23:23.920
You know, I've written a lot
of books and things like this.
524
00:23:23.920 --> 00:23:26.350
Here is a USB of How To Float on the Sea
525
00:23:26.350 --> 00:23:29.650
of Destruction in the Last Days we produced that right here,
526
00:23:29.650 --> 00:23:32.710
or the audio series of the same series.
527
00:23:32.710 --> 00:23:34.090
A lot of people want it in video.
528
00:23:34.090 --> 00:23:35.890
I really like the video
because we show a lot
529
00:23:35.890 --> 00:23:38.020
of interesting things on the programs.
530
00:23:38.020 --> 00:23:41.680
But in addition to this, we
also do the study guides.
531
00:23:41.680 --> 00:23:43.420
And you know why I love my study guides
532
00:23:43.420 --> 00:23:46.070
because I've put a lot of work into these study guides.
533
00:23:46.070 --> 00:23:48.950
It's nearly like writing an entire book
534
00:23:48.950 --> 00:23:51.230
for every series that we do.
535
00:23:51.230 --> 00:23:53.360
And boy, this is a good one.
536
00:23:53.360 --> 00:23:56.300
If you don't have this
series, you need to order it.
537
00:23:56.300 --> 00:23:58.790
But the reason I'm telling you this is
538
00:23:58.790 --> 00:24:02.900
because all of this is produced right here in this room in
539
00:24:02.900 --> 00:24:05.060
our Tulsa facility.
540
00:24:05.060 --> 00:24:08.030
You know, several years ago
when we started our Ministry
541
00:24:08.030 --> 00:24:10.910
Expansion Project, it was quite large.
542
00:24:10.910 --> 00:24:15.170
70% of it is already finished.
And I want to say thank you.
543
00:24:15.170 --> 00:24:16.430
And now we need to keep it up
544
00:24:16.430 --> 00:24:19.430
until we knock out the remaining 30%.
545
00:24:19.430 --> 00:24:23.060
And I want to say thank you
for everything you've given us
546
00:24:23.060 --> 00:24:24.590
to help us reduce this debt.
547
00:24:24.590 --> 00:24:26.120
It's really not for us.
548
00:24:26.120 --> 00:24:28.280
It's so we can liberate this debt
549
00:24:28.280 --> 00:24:31.160
and then begin to use all of our resources
550
00:24:31.160 --> 00:24:32.330
to take this teaching
551
00:24:32.330 --> 00:24:34.940
and these materials to
the ends of the earth.
552
00:24:34.940 --> 00:24:38.510
And that includes a lot
of materials that we give.
553
00:24:38.510 --> 00:24:41.210
We sow a lot of our material
554
00:24:41.210 --> 00:24:44.090
because there are many people
who cannot afford to pay,
555
00:24:44.090 --> 00:24:47.150
and we want them to have the
teaching of the word of God
556
00:24:47.150 --> 00:24:48.800
that they can trust.
557
00:24:48.800 --> 00:24:51.230
And if you're not a part
of our giving team already,
558
00:24:51.230 --> 00:24:53.840
please pray about being
a part of our giving team
559
00:24:53.840 --> 00:24:57.440
to reduce the debt in the
Ministry Expansion Project
560
00:24:57.440 --> 00:24:59.000
so we can move on
561
00:24:59.000 --> 00:25:01.370
and take the light of the gospel further
562
00:25:01.370 --> 00:25:02.420
to the ends of the Earth.
563
00:25:07.370 --> 00:25:09.710
Today, it has been such a pleasure to be able to share
564
00:25:09.710 --> 00:25:13.130
with you about my personal journey in relationship
565
00:25:13.130 --> 00:25:16.760
to the Holy Spirit. My friends, when I receive the baptism
566
00:25:16.760 --> 00:25:19.010
and the Holy Spirit and begin to learn about the actions,
567
00:25:19.010 --> 00:25:21.620
the behavior, and the personality of the Holy Spirit,
568
00:25:21.620 --> 00:25:23.990
it totally transformed my life.
569
00:25:23.990 --> 00:25:26.180
And I want you to understand it as well.
570
00:25:26.180 --> 00:25:28.010
And that's why I want
you to order this series,
571
00:25:28.010 --> 00:25:29.390
which is called, The Actions
572
00:25:29.390 --> 00:25:31.280
and Personality of the Holy Spirit.
573
00:25:31.280 --> 00:25:34.250
It is 10 parts, and it comes
with a wonderful study guide,
574
00:25:34.250 --> 00:25:36.440
which is filled with everything that is in the series
575
00:25:36.440 --> 00:25:37.790
because I really believe
576
00:25:37.790 --> 00:25:40.310
and science proves that while you hear
577
00:25:40.310 --> 00:25:41.660
or see the material,
578
00:25:41.660 --> 00:25:44.450
it really gets the material
down deep inside you.
579
00:25:44.450 --> 00:25:47.120
And right now, we're also offering you my brand new book
580
00:25:47.120 --> 00:25:49.970
which is called, My Victory Filled Day.
581
00:25:49.970 --> 00:25:52.040
If you wanna have victory
every day of your life,
582
00:25:52.040 --> 00:25:53.240
this is a book you need to read
583
00:25:53.240 --> 00:25:56.270
because it will walk you
right into the victory
584
00:25:56.270 --> 00:26:00.560
that Jesus wants you to have
every single day of your life.
585
00:26:00.560 --> 00:26:02.750
And please remember
that if you need prayer,
586
00:26:02.750 --> 00:26:04.370
we're here to pray for you.
587
00:26:04.370 --> 00:26:07.040
And maybe today you've heard my testimony
588
00:26:07.040 --> 00:26:09.770
and you've said to yourself, Gee, that's kind of where I am.
589
00:26:09.770 --> 00:26:13.190
I'm hungry for more. Maybe
you don't know how to pray.
590
00:26:13.190 --> 00:26:15.350
Perhaps you don't even
know what to ask for.
591
00:26:15.350 --> 00:26:17.990
Call us and just say, I want more
592
00:26:17.990 --> 00:26:20.690
of the Holy Spirit in my life,
and we will pray with you.
593
00:26:20.690 --> 00:26:22.220
We will release our faith.
594
00:26:22.220 --> 00:26:24.470
And if you've never been
filled with the Holy Spirit,
595
00:26:24.470 --> 00:26:26.570
you will be filled with the Holy Spirit
596
00:26:26.570 --> 00:26:29.450
and your life with the
supernatural ministry
597
00:26:29.450 --> 00:26:32.300
of the Holy Spirit will begin.
598
00:26:32.300 --> 00:26:33.530
But let me pray for you right now.
599
00:26:33.530 --> 00:26:36.590
Father, I thank you in the
wonderful name of Jesus
600
00:26:36.590 --> 00:26:38.480
that we are saved,
601
00:26:38.480 --> 00:26:41.300
and I thank you that you want
to fill us with the spirit
602
00:26:41.300 --> 00:26:44.100
and you want to bring us
into a supernatural dimension
603
00:26:44.100 --> 00:26:48.000
that empowers us to the end of our life.
604
00:26:48.000 --> 00:26:50.940
I prayed for me and I prayed
for my friend, Lord, we want
605
00:26:50.940 --> 00:26:54.540
to yield to the Holy Spirit in Jesus name
606
00:26:54.540 --> 00:26:56.070
a amen.
607
00:26:56.970 --> 00:26:58.710
Well, we're out of time,
but I'll see you tomorrow.
608
00:26:58.710 --> 00:27:02.670
But until then, remember Ecclesiastes 8:4 says,
609
00:27:02.670 --> 00:27:05.670
"Where the word of a king is, there is power."
610
00:27:06.720 --> 00:27:09.000
If you've never received
Jesus as your Savior
611
00:27:09.000 --> 00:27:13.410
and Lord, now is the time for
you to experience a new life
612
00:27:13.410 --> 00:27:15.540
Jesus has to give you.
613
00:27:15.540 --> 00:27:19.650
Pray this prayer with me right now; Lord,
614
00:27:19.650 --> 00:27:23.640
I repented my sin and receive you as my Savior
615
00:27:23.640 --> 00:27:26.610
and Lord. Wash away my sin
616
00:27:26.610 --> 00:27:29.640
and make me completely new.
617
00:27:29.640 --> 00:27:33.450
I thank you that my sin is removed
618
00:27:33.450 --> 00:27:38.450
and Satan no longer has any
right to lay claim on me.
619
00:27:38.970 --> 00:27:42.960
I faithfully promise that
I will serve you as my Lord
620
00:27:42.960 --> 00:27:45.570
for the rest of my life.
621
00:27:45.570 --> 00:27:46.570
Amen.
622
00:27:49.320 --> 00:27:52.140
If you just prayed the
prayer of salvation with us,
623
00:27:52.140 --> 00:27:54.060
would you please let us know by going
624
00:27:54.060 --> 00:27:57.060
