00:00:01.260 --> 00:00:03.960
This program is made
possible by the giving
2
00:00:03.960 --> 00:00:08.040
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 --> 00:00:16.770
uncertain times
6
00:00:16.770 --> 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
00:00:38.550 --> 00:00:39.690
Welcome to today's program.
13
00:00:39.690 --> 00:00:42.240
My name is Rick Renner and
I've been waiting for you.
14
00:00:42.240 --> 00:00:45.030
In today, I'm gonna talk to you about
15
00:00:45.030 --> 00:00:48.870
how the Holy Spirit guides and leads us.
16
00:00:48.870 --> 00:00:51.600
And what I'm gonna share
with you today has the power
17
00:00:51.600 --> 00:00:53.580
to save your life.
18
00:00:53.580 --> 00:00:57.120
So don't miss one word of today's program,
19
00:00:57.120 --> 00:00:59.070
but I want you to order the whole series,
20
00:00:59.070 --> 00:01:00.870
which is called the Actions
21
00:01:00.870 --> 00:01:02.700
and Personality of the Holy Spirit.
22
00:01:02.700 --> 00:01:05.340
It is 5-parts, it comes with a study guide.
23
00:01:05.340 --> 00:01:08.190
And we're also offering you today my book,
24
00:01:08.190 --> 00:01:11.580
which is called My Victory Filled Day: brand new book.
25
00:01:11.580 --> 00:01:14.790
It is, A Sparkling Gems from the Greek Guided Devotional
26
00:01:14.790 --> 00:01:18.600
Journey that will walk you right into victory.
27
00:01:18.600 --> 00:01:20.970
But you can order all these things right now.
28
00:01:20.970 --> 00:01:23.160
Just call the number on
the screen or go online
29
00:01:23.160 --> 00:01:25.530
and we will get these things right to you.
30
00:01:25.530 --> 00:01:28.590
And before we send any of these resources out of our office,
31
00:01:28.590 --> 00:01:29.880
we lay hands on them
32
00:01:29.880 --> 00:01:32.430
and we pray for the anointing
of God to go with them,
33
00:01:32.430 --> 00:01:33.510
that when you touch them
34
00:01:33.510 --> 00:01:37.440
and open them, the anointing
of God will touch your life.
35
00:01:37.440 --> 00:01:39.900
And please let us know
how to pray for you.
36
00:01:39.900 --> 00:01:41.610
We're waiting right now
for the phone to ring,
37
00:01:41.610 --> 00:01:43.620
and I really mean that from my heart.
38
00:01:43.620 --> 00:01:45.060
We're waiting for the phone to ring
39
00:01:45.060 --> 00:01:47.490
because we're trained to pray for you.
40
00:01:47.490 --> 00:01:48.570
We wanna pray for you.
41
00:01:48.570 --> 00:01:51.360
And we believe that if we
pray anything according
42
00:01:51.360 --> 00:01:53.760
to God's will, that's what we're told in 1 John
43
00:01:53.760 --> 00:01:56.910
5:14 and 15, he hears us
44
00:01:56.910 --> 00:02:00.120
and we will have the petitions
that we request of him.
45
00:02:00.120 --> 00:02:02.250
And we know how to pray scripturally.
46
00:02:02.250 --> 00:02:04.410
So if you need somebody
to pray with you, call us
47
00:02:04.410 --> 00:02:07.170
or send us an email and we will get to it
48
00:02:07.170 --> 00:02:09.750
and Jesus will do what needs to be done.
49
00:02:09.750 --> 00:02:12.120
But reach for your Bible.
50
00:02:12.120 --> 00:02:14.970
And today we're going
to return to the subject
51
00:02:14.970 --> 00:02:17.430 line:15%
of The Actions and the Personality of the Holy Spirit.
52
00:02:17.430 --> 00:02:19.350
And specifically we're going to see
53
00:02:19.350 --> 00:02:21.600
how this Holy Spirit guides us
54
00:02:21.600 --> 00:02:23.610
and how the Holy Spirit leads us.
55
00:02:23.610 --> 00:02:28.140
And in the last episode, we
saw all the amazing things
56
00:02:28.140 --> 00:02:30.450
that the Holy Spirit is sent to do for us.
57
00:02:30.450 --> 00:02:34.380
But we also saw that for him
to do those things for us,
58
00:02:34.380 --> 00:02:36.960
we have to be submitted to his authority
59
00:02:36.960 --> 00:02:38.130
and we have to be willing
60
00:02:38.130 --> 00:02:42.780
to explicitly obey anything he tells us
61
00:02:42.780 --> 00:02:44.970
to do. My friend,
62
00:02:44.970 --> 00:02:48.450
there's all kinds of rewards that come with obedience.
63
00:02:48.450 --> 00:02:50.460
If you don't listen to the Holy Spirit,
64
00:02:50.460 --> 00:02:52.260
then you're not going to reap the benefits
65
00:02:52.260 --> 00:02:53.400
of what he can give you.
66
00:02:53.400 --> 00:02:55.020
But if you will listen to him
67
00:02:55.020 --> 00:02:57.180
and then do what he tells you to do,
68
00:02:57.180 --> 00:02:59.620
you will reap amazing benefits.
69
00:02:59.620 --> 00:03:02.230
You may be afraid to
follow the Holy Spirit
70
00:03:02.230 --> 00:03:04.330
because you've never tried before.
71
00:03:04.330 --> 00:03:08.170
Well, you gotta begin sometime. So now is the time to begin.
72
00:03:08.170 --> 00:03:12.100
But today I wanna show you from John 16:13,
73
00:03:12.100 --> 00:03:14.920
that Jesus said the Holy Spirit would lead us
74
00:03:14.920 --> 00:03:15.970
and he would guide us.
75
00:03:15.970 --> 00:03:17.830
So reach for your Bible
76
00:03:17.830 --> 00:03:19.990
because we always use the
Bible in this program.
77
00:03:19.990 --> 00:03:23.410
And today we're gonna jump right to John 16:
78
00:03:23.410 --> 00:03:27.370
13, where Jesus says, How be it when He, the spirit
79
00:03:27.370 --> 00:03:30.640
of truth is come. Now notice He calls the Holy
80
00:03:30.640 --> 00:03:31.750
Spirit, the Spirit of Truth.
81
00:03:31.750 --> 00:03:34.390
And in fact, when you read John 14, 15
82
00:03:34.390 --> 00:03:37.750
and 16, you find that Jesus
calls the Holy Spirit,
83
00:03:37.750 --> 00:03:40.630
the comforter four times.
84
00:03:40.630 --> 00:03:42.130
That's very important.
85
00:03:42.130 --> 00:03:45.520
He's trying to drive
that point into our heart
86
00:03:45.520 --> 00:03:48.220
that the Holy Spirit has
been sent to be a comforter.
87
00:03:48.220 --> 00:03:50.050
He's been sent to be our coach.
88
00:03:50.050 --> 00:03:52.600
That's really what that
word comforter means.
89
00:03:52.600 --> 00:03:55.660
And three times in John 14, 15
90
00:03:55.660 --> 00:03:59.470
and 16, Jesus calls the Holy
Spirit the spirit of truth.
91
00:03:59.470 --> 00:04:02.350
And this was important.
He is the spirit of truth.
92
00:04:02.350 --> 00:04:06.220
He will never mislead you.
He will never misguide you.
93
00:04:06.220 --> 00:04:08.440
He's the spirit of truth.
94
00:04:08.440 --> 00:04:11.050
And if the Holy Spirit has communicated to you that you're
95
00:04:11.050 --> 00:04:13.600
to call someone or that you're to give a gift
96
00:04:13.600 --> 00:04:16.330
or you're to do something,
you can bank on it.
97
00:04:16.330 --> 00:04:19.270
There is a reason He is
telling you to do it,
98
00:04:19.270 --> 00:04:22.210
but you'll never know the
reason until you obey.
99
00:04:22.210 --> 00:04:24.550
But my friends, he is the spirit of truth.
100
00:04:24.550 --> 00:04:28.000
He'll never mislead you and
he will never misguide you.
101
00:04:28.000 --> 00:04:31.810
But when you come to John 16:13, it continues
102
00:04:31.810 --> 00:04:35.170
to say, When he, the spirit of truth, has come, he will
103
00:04:35.170 --> 00:04:38.140
guide you into all the truth.
104
00:04:38.140 --> 00:04:41.380
Well, I've got my marker. So
let's go back to the board.
105
00:04:41.380 --> 00:04:44.890
The word guide is a form of the Greek word, hodegos.
106
00:04:44.890 --> 00:04:49.330
The word hodegos, is the Greek word for a road: a road.
107
00:04:49.330 --> 00:04:53.050
But when the word hodegos
becomes the word hodega,
108
00:04:54.160 --> 00:04:57.430
it's no longer a road,
but it is a tour guide
109
00:04:57.430 --> 00:05:01.060
or one who knows all the roads.
110
00:05:01.060 --> 00:05:03.010
And it's really the
same word you would use
111
00:05:03.010 --> 00:05:04.660
to describe a person
112
00:05:04.660 --> 00:05:08.770
who would take you on an
excursion, on an excursion.
113
00:05:08.770 --> 00:05:10.810
And let me give you an example.
114
00:05:10.810 --> 00:05:11.950
People come to Moscow
115
00:05:11.950 --> 00:05:14.860
and often they want to
go see the big museum
116
00:05:14.860 --> 00:05:16.150
inside the Kremlin.
117
00:05:16.150 --> 00:05:17.740
Well, I don't do that much anymore,
118
00:05:17.740 --> 00:05:21.010
but there was a time when I
would take everyone who wanted
119
00:05:21.010 --> 00:05:24.070
to go to the Kremlin, into the museum,
120
00:05:24.070 --> 00:05:27.370
and they wanted me to be their guide, hodegos
121
00:05:27.370 --> 00:05:30.700
because I knew all the routes inside that museum.
122
00:05:30.700 --> 00:05:35.320
And when you go inside the wonderful Kremlin Museum, first
123
00:05:35.320 --> 00:05:36.910
of all, you walk through a vault door.
124
00:05:36.910 --> 00:05:39.400
The entire building is a vault
125
00:05:39.400 --> 00:05:42.340
because of so many treasures
inside that building.
126
00:05:42.340 --> 00:05:44.470
You walk up a set of stairs and turn to the left
127
00:05:44.470 --> 00:05:47.140
and immediately you go into what is called the Diamond Fund.
128
00:05:47.140 --> 00:05:50.740
And when you get into the Diamond Fund, you see diamonds,
129
00:05:50.740 --> 00:05:53.440
diamonds, diamonds, emeralds, rubies.
130
00:05:53.440 --> 00:05:55.690
You see the crown jewels
131
00:05:55.690 --> 00:05:59.660
of the Romanov family; it is just breathtaking what is
132
00:05:59.660 --> 00:06:01.760
inside the Diamond Fund.
133
00:06:01.760 --> 00:06:04.370
But then when you're finished,
you walk up another flight
134
00:06:04.370 --> 00:06:06.830
of steps and another flight of steps
135
00:06:06.830 --> 00:06:10.100
and you enter into a circular
room which contains the
136
00:06:10.100 --> 00:06:13.610
coronation dresses of the queens of Russia.
137
00:06:13.610 --> 00:06:15.680
And they are amazing.
138
00:06:15.680 --> 00:06:20.120
The coronation dresses
are spun of pure silver.
139
00:06:20.120 --> 00:06:21.830
That's why they don't move.
140
00:06:21.830 --> 00:06:23.270
They have the same form
141
00:06:23.270 --> 00:06:26.090
that they had when they were
put there many decades ago
142
00:06:26.090 --> 00:06:28.190
because their dresses made of silver.
143
00:06:28.190 --> 00:06:30.650
They don't move their
dresses made of metal.
144
00:06:30.650 --> 00:06:33.020
And just across the hallway
to the other side of
145
00:06:33.020 --> 00:06:36.170
that circular room are all
the garments which were worn
146
00:06:36.170 --> 00:06:39.050
by the priests of the Orthodox
church during the time
147
00:06:39.050 --> 00:06:40.130
of the Czars period.
148
00:06:40.130 --> 00:06:43.160
And they are just amazing,
including one garment
149
00:06:44.000 --> 00:06:48.410
that has 250,000 freshwater pearls
150
00:06:48.410 --> 00:06:49.820
sewn into it.
151
00:06:49.820 --> 00:06:51.050
It is so elaborate.
152
00:06:51.050 --> 00:06:53.450
And then you make a right
153
00:06:53.450 --> 00:06:56.450
and you step into the room
where all the thrones are.
154
00:06:56.450 --> 00:06:59.150
Wow! There's the diamond throne,
155
00:06:59.150 --> 00:07:00.860
there's the throne of Ivan Roseney.
156
00:07:00.860 --> 00:07:03.260
There's the throne of Michael
Romanov in the double throne
157
00:07:03.260 --> 00:07:06.050
of Peter the Great and his brother Ivan.
158
00:07:06.050 --> 00:07:07.070
And then when you turn right,
159
00:07:07.070 --> 00:07:08.660
you enter into another circular room
160
00:07:08.660 --> 00:07:12.740
where you see the jewelry
which was worn by the horses
161
00:07:12.740 --> 00:07:14.180
of the czars.
162
00:07:14.180 --> 00:07:18.020
Ay, yi..any woman would love to wear the horse jewelry.
163
00:07:18.020 --> 00:07:21.680
It included broaches,
which was worn in the main
164
00:07:21.680 --> 00:07:24.530
of the hair covered with
diamonds, big, beautiful,
165
00:07:24.530 --> 00:07:26.510
golden yellow sapphires.
166
00:07:26.510 --> 00:07:28.250
And then when you walk out of there,
167
00:07:28.250 --> 00:07:29.900
you walk past the thrones
168
00:07:29.900 --> 00:07:32.390
and then into another big circular room
169
00:07:32.390 --> 00:07:34.790
where you find all the carriages of Peter The Great
170
00:07:34.790 --> 00:07:39.790
and Ivan Groznyy, Ivan the Terrible, Boris Godunov,
171
00:07:39.980 --> 00:07:41.720
Catherine The Great: carriages
172
00:07:41.720 --> 00:07:43.730
after carriages after carriages.
173
00:07:43.730 --> 00:07:46.580
And then you walk up a big flight of steps
174
00:07:46.580 --> 00:07:48.110
to the 2nd floor
175
00:07:48.950 --> 00:07:51.650
where you see ambassadorial gifts are brought
176
00:07:51.650 --> 00:07:54.770
by all the leaders of Europe to the Czar.
177
00:07:54.770 --> 00:07:56.630
The Bible tells us in the book of Proverbs
178
00:07:56.630 --> 00:07:59.570
that a man's gift makes room for him.
179
00:07:59.570 --> 00:08:02.210
No one came to see the
czar without a gift.
180
00:08:02.210 --> 00:08:04.550
It was your gift that
opened doors for you.
181
00:08:04.550 --> 00:08:06.590
They all came bearing gifts.
182
00:08:06.590 --> 00:08:10.280
And in that massive room are
all the ambassadorial gifts
183
00:08:10.280 --> 00:08:12.140
which were brought to the Czar,
184
00:08:12.140 --> 00:08:15.080
and as you make your way
back to the main staircase,
185
00:08:15.080 --> 00:08:18.980
then you pass the exhibition of Faberge eggs,
186
00:08:18.980 --> 00:08:21.320
which are just magnificent.
187
00:08:21.320 --> 00:08:24.170
And then once you get
out of the Armory Museum
188
00:08:24.170 --> 00:08:26.930
and you begin to walk on
the territory of the Kremlin
189
00:08:26.930 --> 00:08:29.900
inside the territory,
then you go to the church
190
00:08:29.900 --> 00:08:32.420
where the leaders were
married, then you go
191
00:08:32.420 --> 00:08:33.800
to the church where they were buried.
192
00:08:33.800 --> 00:08:36.320
Then you go to the church where they were coronated and on
193
00:08:36.320 --> 00:08:37.610
and on and on and on and on.
194
00:08:37.610 --> 00:08:39.560
Now you say, Rick, how
in the world do you know
195
00:08:39.560 --> 00:08:41.150
this so well?
196
00:08:41.150 --> 00:08:43.970
Because I've been there a few times.
197
00:08:43.970 --> 00:08:48.410
You might say, I know all the
roots, I know all the roads.
198
00:08:48.410 --> 00:08:50.660
And if you will trust me, odega,
199
00:08:50.660 --> 00:08:52.820
I'll take you along the right path
200
00:08:52.820 --> 00:08:56.430
and give you the most
pleasurable experience you
201
00:08:56.430 --> 00:08:57.600
could possibly have.
202
00:08:57.600 --> 00:09:00.690
Now the truth is you don't
have to have a guide.
203
00:09:00.690 --> 00:09:02.520
You can go on your own.
204
00:09:02.520 --> 00:09:04.350
That's kind of a hard way to go
205
00:09:04.350 --> 00:09:06.780
because you gotta figure
out what roads to take,
206
00:09:06.780 --> 00:09:08.940
what hallways to take.
207
00:09:08.940 --> 00:09:10.350
You don't know what's interesting.
208
00:09:10.350 --> 00:09:11.940
You don't know what's boring.
209
00:09:11.940 --> 00:09:14.365
And most important of all,
210
00:09:14.365 --> 00:09:16.331
you don't know where the toilets are,
211
00:09:16.331 --> 00:09:19.680
but a guide knows what
you will want to see.
212
00:09:19.680 --> 00:09:23.520
A guide knows what you need to avoid.
213
00:09:23.520 --> 00:09:24.960
A guide will tell you when you need
214
00:09:24.960 --> 00:09:26.220
to sit down and rest your back.
215
00:09:26.220 --> 00:09:29.790
A guide will tell you where
the toilets are located.
216
00:09:29.790 --> 00:09:32.970
A guide knows everything in the territory.
217
00:09:33.930 --> 00:09:35.190
Now here's what's interesting.
218
00:09:35.190 --> 00:09:38.760
Everyone enters the
Kremlin at the same spot
219
00:09:38.760 --> 00:09:40.770
with the same attitude.
220
00:09:40.770 --> 00:09:43.920
Everyone leaves the
Kremlin at the same spot
221
00:09:43.920 --> 00:09:46.110
but not with the same attitude.
222
00:09:46.110 --> 00:09:50.460
Those who had a good guide, the word odega, who knew all
223
00:09:50.460 --> 00:09:54.210
of the roots has given you
such a pleasurable experience
224
00:09:54.210 --> 00:09:55.860
that you leave elated.
225
00:09:55.860 --> 00:10:00.030
But if you decided to do it
on your own without a guide,
226
00:10:01.500 --> 00:10:05.250
your feet are gonna hurt,
your back are gonna hurt.
227
00:10:06.120 --> 00:10:08.160
You're gonna be wondering
where is the toilet?
228
00:10:08.160 --> 00:10:10.200
Because there's not many
toilets inside the Kremlin.
229
00:10:10.200 --> 00:10:11.760
If you miss it, you just miss it.
230
00:10:12.930 --> 00:10:15.180
Everyone exits at the same place,
231
00:10:15.180 --> 00:10:17.700
but people exit differently
232
00:10:17.700 --> 00:10:20.400
depending on whether
they did it on their own
233
00:10:20.400 --> 00:10:23.550
or whether they had a guide.
234
00:10:23.550 --> 00:10:27.480
And here we find that if we
will submit to the guidance
235
00:10:27.480 --> 00:10:30.930
of the Holy Spirit who knows
all the roads; my friends,
236
00:10:30.930 --> 00:10:32.550
he knows all the roads.
237
00:10:32.550 --> 00:10:34.530
He's already been out front.
238
00:10:34.530 --> 00:10:36.270
He knows what God has planned for you.
239
00:10:36.270 --> 00:10:38.910
He knows what the devil
has planned for you.
240
00:10:38.910 --> 00:10:40.920
If you don't want to
follow his leadership,
241
00:10:40.920 --> 00:10:42.570
you can just do it on your own,
242
00:10:42.570 --> 00:10:46.080
but it's gonna be a rough road to take or hodega,
243
00:10:46.080 --> 00:10:48.330
you can allow him to be your guide.
244
00:10:48.330 --> 00:10:50.670
And because the holy Spirit's
already been in front of you,
245
00:10:50.670 --> 00:10:52.110
he knows everything in front of you.
246
00:10:52.110 --> 00:10:53.490
He knows the Father's will.
247
00:10:53.490 --> 00:10:56.010
He knows what the devil
is going to try to do.
248
00:10:56.010 --> 00:10:58.920
If you'll allow him to
be your guide, hodega,
249
00:10:58.920 --> 00:11:01.110
he will circumvent every attack.
250
00:11:02.190 --> 00:11:04.560
And when you leave this
planet to go to Heaven,
251
00:11:04.560 --> 00:11:07.800
you will be able to say, wow, what a ride.
252
00:11:07.800 --> 00:11:11.220
That was a glorious experience.
253
00:11:11.220 --> 00:11:14.160
That's what Jesus means
when he says the Holy Spirit
254
00:11:14.160 --> 00:11:15.750
will guide you.
255
00:11:15.750 --> 00:11:18.660
Now, why in the world would
you want to do it by yourself
256
00:11:18.660 --> 00:11:21.060
when the Holy Spirit wants to be your guide?
257
00:11:21.060 --> 00:11:25.530
And if you will listen to
him, he will guide you.
258
00:11:25.530 --> 00:11:27.300
You say, well, how do I listen to him?
259
00:11:27.300 --> 00:11:29.790
Well, let's go to Romans 8:14.
260
00:11:29.790 --> 00:11:33.000
And when you get to Romans 8:14,
261
00:11:33.000 --> 00:11:36.120
the apostle Paul is talking
about the rights of sons
262
00:11:36.120 --> 00:11:37.140
and daughters of God.
263
00:11:38.220 --> 00:11:40.470
And in Romans 8, do you have your Bible?
264
00:11:40.470 --> 00:11:43.200
You always have to have
your Bible for this program.
265
00:11:43.200 --> 00:11:47.670
In Romans 8:14, Paul writes - For as many
266
00:11:47.670 --> 00:11:50.730
as are led by the spirit of
God, they are the sons of God.
267
00:11:50.730 --> 00:11:53.560
As many as are led by the spirit of God,
268
00:11:53.560 --> 00:11:54.610
they are the sons of God.
269
00:11:54.610 --> 00:11:57.610
Which means one proof of salvation is
270
00:11:57.610 --> 00:11:58.960
that the Holy Spirit leads you.
271
00:11:58.960 --> 00:12:01.030
But the word led is very important.
272
00:12:01.030 --> 00:12:05.920
In Greek, it is the word, ago.
273
00:12:05.920 --> 00:12:08.950
This word, ago was used in two ways.
274
00:12:08.950 --> 00:12:11.320
First, it was used agriculturally.
275
00:12:11.320 --> 00:12:13.990
Write this down if you're taking notes - agriculturally.
276
00:12:16.570 --> 00:12:18.790
And secondly, it was used athletically.
277
00:12:20.830 --> 00:12:23.500
You say, wow, how was it used in both
278
00:12:23.500 --> 00:12:24.760
of these very different ways?
279
00:12:24.760 --> 00:12:29.760
Well first of all the word ago means to lead an animal
280
00:12:29.770 --> 00:12:32.020
with a rope wrapped around its neck.
281
00:12:33.010 --> 00:12:36.100
You wouldn't drag the animal,
you would teach the animal
282
00:12:36.100 --> 00:12:38.230
to follow and you would wrap
the rope around the neck
283
00:12:38.230 --> 00:12:42.670
of the beast and then the
beast, a cow, a donkey,
284
00:12:42.670 --> 00:12:44.200
a mule, a camel,
285
00:12:44.200 --> 00:12:48.280
it would just follow you, ago, as it's being led
286
00:12:48.280 --> 00:12:52.900
by someone who has wrapped
a rope around its neck.
287
00:12:52.900 --> 00:12:55.540
And all that was required was a gentle tug
288
00:12:56.530 --> 00:12:57.940
and the animal would follow
289
00:12:57.940 --> 00:13:01.240
because the animal had
been trained to follow.
290
00:13:01.240 --> 00:13:04.060
When Denise and I first
moved to the territory
291
00:13:04.060 --> 00:13:07.030
of the former Soviet Union,
we lived in a very small town
292
00:13:07.030 --> 00:13:09.430
and we lived outside the town.
293
00:13:09.430 --> 00:13:13.150
And outside the town was farm-farmlands.
294
00:13:13.150 --> 00:13:16.030
And we had one little
lady in our neighborhood
295
00:13:16.030 --> 00:13:18.280
who every day would walk her cow
296
00:13:18.280 --> 00:13:20.530
and I'd never seen anything like this.
297
00:13:20.530 --> 00:13:23.290
And she would put a rope
around the neck of her cow
298
00:13:23.290 --> 00:13:24.820
and she would just barely tug
299
00:13:24.820 --> 00:13:27.460
and that cow would obediently follow.
300
00:13:27.460 --> 00:13:30.130
And I remember every day in the morning back in those years
301
00:13:30.130 --> 00:13:32.230
thinking about this word ago, as many as are led
302
00:13:32.230 --> 00:13:34.750
by the spirit of God, it means to lead
303
00:13:34.750 --> 00:13:37.360
with a rope wrapped around the neck.
304
00:13:37.360 --> 00:13:38.680
And one day I said to my neighbor,
305
00:13:38.680 --> 00:13:40.810
what is wrong with this cow?
306
00:13:40.810 --> 00:13:44.020
This cow just obediently follows.
307
00:13:44.020 --> 00:13:48.370
And the woman would lead the
cow to a particular place,
308
00:13:48.370 --> 00:13:49.840
would pull a stake out of her pocket,
309
00:13:49.840 --> 00:13:51.160
would nail it down into the ground,
310
00:13:51.160 --> 00:13:54.280
wrap the dangling into
the rope around the stake,
311
00:13:54.280 --> 00:13:55.540
and just leave the cow there.
312
00:13:55.540 --> 00:13:56.620
And the cow wouldn't move.
313
00:13:56.620 --> 00:13:58.690
It just stayed where it was lead
314
00:13:59.950 --> 00:14:01.810
until the evening when the
little woman came back,
315
00:14:01.810 --> 00:14:03.580
pulled up the stake, pulled the rope
316
00:14:03.580 --> 00:14:05.290
and led the cow back home.
317
00:14:05.290 --> 00:14:07.990
And I said to my neighbor,
what's up with the cow?
318
00:14:07.990 --> 00:14:09.970
The cow is so big
319
00:14:09.970 --> 00:14:12.730
and that little grandma is so
little that cow could knock
320
00:14:12.730 --> 00:14:16.570
that woman flat: but the cow just follows.
321
00:14:16.570 --> 00:14:20.440
And the cow is so strong it could easily pull that stake up
322
00:14:20.440 --> 00:14:22.240
and be on its way,
323
00:14:22.240 --> 00:14:25.630
but the cow just stays where it is lead.
324
00:14:25.630 --> 00:14:29.620
And my neighbor said, Rick,
these cows have been trained
325
00:14:29.620 --> 00:14:32.710
to follow from the time they were young
326
00:14:32.710 --> 00:14:34.390
and they are trained to follow.
327
00:14:34.390 --> 00:14:37.480
They understand they are
to stay where they are led.
328
00:14:38.380 --> 00:14:42.190
And while that was such a revelation because I realize that
329
00:14:42.190 --> 00:14:44.350
likewise, we have to be trained
330
00:14:44.350 --> 00:14:46.630
to follow the leading of the Holy Spirit.
331
00:14:46.630 --> 00:14:50.080
And when he leads us somewhere, we need to trust him enough
332
00:14:50.080 --> 00:14:52.250
to stay put where he leads us
333
00:14:52.250 --> 00:14:57.230
and not move until he comes
to lead us somewhere else.
334
00:14:57.230 --> 00:15:01.700
But isn't it interesting that
they were led just by the pull
335
00:15:01.700 --> 00:15:04.640
or the little tug of a rope?
336
00:15:04.640 --> 00:15:05.990
And this is also very important
337
00:15:05.990 --> 00:15:09.290
because most people
want something dramatic.
338
00:15:09.290 --> 00:15:11.900
They want a flash of lightning
or a clap of thunder,
339
00:15:11.900 --> 00:15:14.450
or they wanna have a
dream or a prophetic word.
340
00:15:14.450 --> 00:15:18.380
And hey, all of us are grateful for when that happens.
341
00:15:18.380 --> 00:15:21.290
But most often the kind of leading
342
00:15:21.290 --> 00:15:23.450
that we're gonna receive,
it's not gonna be a clap
343
00:15:23.450 --> 00:15:25.910
of thunder or a strike
of lightning or prophecy
344
00:15:25.910 --> 00:15:27.770
or a dream or a vision.
345
00:15:27.770 --> 00:15:30.050
It's gonna be a tug on our heart.
346
00:15:30.050 --> 00:15:32.630
The Holy Spirit is tugging us, trying
347
00:15:32.630 --> 00:15:34.670
to lead us in a direction
348
00:15:34.670 --> 00:15:36.890
and we have to learn
to be sensitive enough
349
00:15:36.890 --> 00:15:40.820
to recognize his tugging on our heart.
350
00:15:41.660 --> 00:15:45.170
But this word ago, which
was used agriculturally
351
00:15:45.170 --> 00:15:47.600
to describe the leading of
a cow at the end of a rope,
352
00:15:47.600 --> 00:15:52.100
was also used athletically
to describe agony
353
00:15:52.100 --> 00:15:54.410
between two men that were
slugging it out on the mat:
354
00:15:55.310 --> 00:15:58.310
both men hurling each
other to the mat trying
355
00:15:58.310 --> 00:16:00.140
to master the other.
356
00:16:00.140 --> 00:16:03.650
And because this word ago
also carries this athletic
357
00:16:03.650 --> 00:16:07.040
concept, it importantly tells us
358
00:16:07.040 --> 00:16:09.080
that often there is a contest.
359
00:16:09.080 --> 00:16:12.200
There's a struggle between
your heart and your head.
360
00:16:12.200 --> 00:16:15.260
The Holy Spirit's tugging
gently on your heart.
361
00:16:15.260 --> 00:16:17.720
He's trying to lead you
to do the right thing.
362
00:16:17.720 --> 00:16:20.120
He's trying to lead you
not to do something.
363
00:16:20.120 --> 00:16:22.010
He's trying to get you
to where you need to go
364
00:16:22.010 --> 00:16:24.380
and get you to stay, put
where you're supposed to be.
365
00:16:24.380 --> 00:16:25.430
But your head argues
366
00:16:25.430 --> 00:16:27.350
and says, I don't like
what I'm being told.
367
00:16:27.350 --> 00:16:28.730
I don't like where I am.
368
00:16:28.730 --> 00:16:31.400
And the mind wants to
argue with our heart.
369
00:16:31.400 --> 00:16:33.530
And there's this
wrestling that takes place
370
00:16:33.530 --> 00:16:35.300
between our head and our heart.
371
00:16:36.290 --> 00:16:39.710
And we have to learn to obey and follow
372
00:16:39.710 --> 00:16:42.740
and trust the leading of the Holy Spirit.
373
00:16:42.740 --> 00:16:44.570
And I want to give you a personal story.
374
00:16:44.570 --> 00:16:46.340
Many, many, many years ago, Denise
375
00:16:46.340 --> 00:16:49.850
and I were at a big conference
in the city of Chicago
376
00:16:49.850 --> 00:16:51.740
and I was one of the speakers.
377
00:16:51.740 --> 00:16:52.970
We were going to all the meetings
378
00:16:52.970 --> 00:16:55.460
and I was really excited
about the meeting that night.
379
00:16:56.450 --> 00:16:57.800
But that afternoon, we were tired
380
00:16:57.800 --> 00:17:00.920
so we went home and Denise and I laid down to take a nap.
381
00:17:00.920 --> 00:17:02.810
And while I was laying
there, I couldn't sleep
382
00:17:02.810 --> 00:17:04.640
because I was inwardly disturbed.
383
00:17:05.810 --> 00:17:09.530
And strangely inwardly,
I felt a tug in my heart
384
00:17:09.530 --> 00:17:11.450
that I was not supposed to
go to the meeting that night.
385
00:17:11.450 --> 00:17:12.890
I was supposed to stay in my room,
386
00:17:13.880 --> 00:17:15.710
but that made no sense to my mind.
387
00:17:15.710 --> 00:17:17.900
So there was a struggle
between my head and my heart.
388
00:17:17.900 --> 00:17:20.510
And I kept saying to Denise,
why would the Lord want me
389
00:17:20.510 --> 00:17:23.270
to stay in the room and
miss this wonderful meeting?
390
00:17:23.270 --> 00:17:25.610
But I couldn't shake it. I just felt
391
00:17:25.610 --> 00:17:28.160
for some reason I was
supposed to stay in the room.
392
00:17:28.160 --> 00:17:29.690
But Denise didn't have that leading.
393
00:17:30.590 --> 00:17:32.330
So that night, when it
was time to go to church,
394
00:17:32.330 --> 00:17:36.050
we both got in the car and
all the way across Chicago.
395
00:17:36.050 --> 00:17:38.450
I kept saying to Denise, Denise,
396
00:17:38.450 --> 00:17:39.800
I'm not supposed to be in this car.
397
00:17:39.800 --> 00:17:41.750
I'm supposed to be in the room.
398
00:17:41.750 --> 00:17:44.060
Why would the Holy Spirit
want me to be in the room?
399
00:17:44.930 --> 00:17:47.240
Ah, let's ignore this. It
doesn't make any sense.
400
00:17:47.240 --> 00:17:50.430
Let's just go to the
meeting a few miles later.
401
00:17:50.430 --> 00:17:52.110
Denise, I'm so disturbed.
402
00:17:52.110 --> 00:17:54.780
I don't know why I think I
need to go back to the room.
403
00:17:54.780 --> 00:17:57.630
We were arguing back and
forth trying to discuss this.
404
00:17:58.500 --> 00:18:00.000
And finally we got to the church.
405
00:18:00.000 --> 00:18:04.200
And when everyone went into
the service, I said to Denise,
406
00:18:04.200 --> 00:18:07.140
I don't know why, but I cannot
be in this meeting tonight.
407
00:18:07.140 --> 00:18:09.660
I know the Holy Spirit's
tugging on my heart
408
00:18:09.660 --> 00:18:11.880
to be in the room.
409
00:18:11.880 --> 00:18:14.010
So I got back in the car
410
00:18:14.010 --> 00:18:16.350
and the driver took me back to the hotel.
411
00:18:16.350 --> 00:18:18.930
But on the way back home,
I didn't go there quickly
412
00:18:18.930 --> 00:18:21.840
because I stopped by a fast
food place to get me something
413
00:18:21.840 --> 00:18:24.960
to eat because I was gonna
miss dinner that night.
414
00:18:24.960 --> 00:18:27.810
And when I finally got back to the hotel,
415
00:18:27.810 --> 00:18:29.310
the person at the reception desk said,
416
00:18:29.310 --> 00:18:30.540
wow, you're back so early.
417
00:18:30.540 --> 00:18:32.190
Why are you back? And I remember thinking,
418
00:18:33.180 --> 00:18:34.560
what am I gonna tell her?
419
00:18:34.560 --> 00:18:37.680
Because I felt led to be in the room.
420
00:18:37.680 --> 00:18:39.150
It didn't even make sense to me.
421
00:18:40.080 --> 00:18:41.820
But when I pushed the
button on the elevator
422
00:18:41.820 --> 00:18:44.880
and went upstairs and walked
down the hallway to our room,
423
00:18:45.990 --> 00:18:48.840
the door was open, just ajar.
424
00:18:49.800 --> 00:18:54.180
And I walked into our room
and it was a disaster.
425
00:18:54.180 --> 00:18:58.440
Our suitcases were thrown open: clothes
426
00:18:58.440 --> 00:18:59.790
scattered all over the room.
427
00:18:59.790 --> 00:19:02.070
Denise's jewelry case was opened.
428
00:19:02.070 --> 00:19:05.760
I looked over at the desk in our room, my computer was gone.
429
00:19:05.760 --> 00:19:08.220
I looked where my computer bag had been,
430
00:19:08.220 --> 00:19:10.260
my computer bag was gone,
431
00:19:10.260 --> 00:19:14.040
and in my computer bag was
my passport and my documents
432
00:19:14.040 --> 00:19:16.980
and the computer was five
books that I was working on
433
00:19:16.980 --> 00:19:18.660
for which I had no copies.
434
00:19:19.560 --> 00:19:23.280
And when I stood there in the
middle of all of that mess,
435
00:19:23.280 --> 00:19:25.710
I realized someone had come into our room
436
00:19:26.850 --> 00:19:28.110
and we had been robbed.
437
00:19:29.400 --> 00:19:30.900
I don't know if you've ever been robbed,
438
00:19:30.900 --> 00:19:33.480
but it is such a sense of violation.
439
00:19:34.620 --> 00:19:38.790
And as I stood there, I
heard the Holy Spirit say,
440
00:19:40.680 --> 00:19:44.100
Now you know why I was telling you
441
00:19:45.330 --> 00:19:46.410
to stay in the room.
442
00:19:49.980 --> 00:19:54.780
And I realized if I'd stayed
in the room as I had been led,
443
00:19:55.650 --> 00:19:57.570
the thief would've never come in.
444
00:19:57.570 --> 00:19:58.680
They would've knocked on the door.
445
00:19:58.680 --> 00:19:59.940
But when they found someone was there,
446
00:19:59.940 --> 00:20:01.770
they wouldn't have come in.
447
00:20:01.770 --> 00:20:03.930
And if I had stayed in the room,
448
00:20:03.930 --> 00:20:06.660
that event would've never taken place.
449
00:20:07.890 --> 00:20:08.940
And it made me wonder
450
00:20:10.560 --> 00:20:13.950
how many times has the Holy
Spirit led us to do something
451
00:20:13.950 --> 00:20:15.030
that we did not do
452
00:20:16.800 --> 00:20:19.110
and we reaped something
bad as a consequence?
453
00:20:19.110 --> 00:20:21.870
Or how many times has
the Holy Spirit told us
454
00:20:21.870 --> 00:20:24.960
to do something and we did obey.
455
00:20:24.960 --> 00:20:27.840
And because we obeyed, we missed something
456
00:20:27.840 --> 00:20:30.420
that the devil wanted to do to us.
457
00:20:30.420 --> 00:20:32.850
Remember the Holy Spirit, hodegos,
458
00:20:32.850 --> 00:20:36.390
he knows all the roads, all the avenues, and hodega.
459
00:20:36.390 --> 00:20:38.400
He wants to be our guide.
460
00:20:38.400 --> 00:20:42.330
And the Greek word, ago, Romans 8:14, he wants
461
00:20:42.330 --> 00:20:44.340
to tug on our heart and lead us.
462
00:20:44.340 --> 00:20:48.070
And when our head and our
heart get into a conflict
463
00:20:48.070 --> 00:20:50.530
and into a struggling match, we need just
464
00:20:50.530 --> 00:20:52.150
to put our head aside and say,
465
00:20:52.150 --> 00:20:53.680
I don't know why the
Holy Spirit's telling me
466
00:20:53.680 --> 00:20:55.990
to do this, but I'm going to obey.
467
00:20:55.990 --> 00:20:58.180
And just remember, he knows all the roots,
468
00:20:58.180 --> 00:21:00.850
he knows all the attacks,
he knows where to go,
469
00:21:00.850 --> 00:21:02.590
what to circumvent.
470
00:21:02.590 --> 00:21:06.820
And Jesus told us that if we will submit to the Holy Spirit,
471
00:21:06.820 --> 00:21:11.820
he will be our guide and he will be your guide too.
472
00:21:12.550 --> 00:21:14.770
I'm outta time, but I've got more to say
473
00:21:14.770 --> 00:21:16.210
and then I'll be back in just a moment.
474
00:21:24.700 --> 00:21:28.060
This is Rick Renner and somebody has asked a great question;
475
00:21:28.060 --> 00:21:32.385
How can I really be sure that God has forgiven me of my sin?
476
00:21:32.385 --> 00:21:34.810
Well, in 1 John 1:9,
477
00:21:34.810 --> 00:21:38.800
the Bible tells us if we confess our sin,
478
00:21:38.800 --> 00:21:43.060
he is faithful and he is
just to forgive us our sin
479
00:21:43.060 --> 00:21:46.750
and to cleanse us of all unrighteousness.
480
00:21:46.750 --> 00:21:50.080
So if you have confessed your sin,
481
00:21:50.080 --> 00:21:54.130
that means if you've agreed
with God concerning your sin
482
00:21:54.130 --> 00:21:58.375
and you've confessed that it's
sin, Jesus will forgive you.
483
00:21:58.375 --> 00:22:01.000
That word forgive means
to permanently send away.
484
00:22:01.000 --> 00:22:03.940
He will dismiss your sin from you.
485
00:22:03.940 --> 00:22:06.760
And the verse goes on to
say, he will cleanse you.
486
00:22:06.760 --> 00:22:11.620
And that word cleanse means
to really, really cleanse.
487
00:22:11.620 --> 00:22:15.340
He will cleanse you of
all unrighteousness.
488
00:22:15.340 --> 00:22:16.990
So according to 1 John 1:9,
489
00:22:16.990 --> 00:22:20.710
if you've done your part, if
you've confessed your sin,
490
00:22:20.710 --> 00:22:24.190
he will do his part to
forgive you of your sin
491
00:22:24.190 --> 00:22:26.560
and to cleanse you of all unrighteousness.
492
00:22:27.520 --> 00:22:30.460

493
00:22:30.460 --> 00:22:31.900

526

Hey friends, this is Rick Renner
527
00:24:03.560 --> 00:24:06.080
and today I'm happy to be coming
528
00:24:06.080 --> 00:24:08.870
to you from the Tulsa
headquarters of our ministry.
529
00:24:08.870 --> 00:24:11.870
And this is the room
where they do production.
530
00:24:11.870 --> 00:24:14.840
And just recently they expanded this room
531
00:24:14.840 --> 00:24:19.250
because we are sending resources to the ends of the earth.
532
00:24:19.250 --> 00:24:21.950
And when I talk about resources, I'm talking about books.
533
00:24:21.950 --> 00:24:24.830
You know, I've written a lot
of books and things like this.
534
00:24:24.830 --> 00:24:27.290
Here is a USB of How a Float on the Sea
535
00:24:27.290 --> 00:24:30.590
of Destruction in the Last Days, we produced that right here
536
00:24:30.590 --> 00:24:33.650
or the audio series of the same series.
537
00:24:33.650 --> 00:24:35.030
A lot of people want it in the video.
538
00:24:35.030 --> 00:24:36.860
I really like the video
because we show a lot
539
00:24:36.860 --> 00:24:38.960
of interesting things on the programs.
540
00:24:38.960 --> 00:24:42.590
But in addition to this, we
also do the study guides.
541
00:24:42.590 --> 00:24:44.390
And you know why I love my study guides
542
00:24:44.390 --> 00:24:47.000
'cause I've put a lot of work into these study guides.
543
00:24:47.000 --> 00:24:49.910
It's nearly like writing an entire book
544
00:24:49.910 --> 00:24:52.160
for every series that we do.
545
00:24:52.160 --> 00:24:54.290
And boy, this is a good one.
546
00:24:54.290 --> 00:24:57.230
If you don't have this
series, you need to order it.
547
00:24:57.230 --> 00:24:59.720
But the reason I'm telling you this is
548
00:24:59.720 --> 00:25:03.860
because all of this is produced right here in this room in
549
00:25:03.860 --> 00:25:05.990
our Tulsa facility.
550
00:25:05.990 --> 00:25:08.930
You know, several years ago
when we started our Ministry
551
00:25:08.930 --> 00:25:11.810
Expansion Project, it was quite large.
552
00:25:11.810 --> 00:25:16.100
70% of it is already finished.
And I want to say thank you.
553
00:25:16.100 --> 00:25:17.330
And now we need to keep it up
554
00:25:17.330 --> 00:25:20.360
until we knock out the remaining 30%.
555
00:25:20.360 --> 00:25:23.960
And I want to say thank you
for everything you've given us
556
00:25:23.960 --> 00:25:25.520
to help us reduce this debt.
557
00:25:25.520 --> 00:25:27.050
It's really not for us.
558
00:25:27.050 --> 00:25:29.210
It's so we can liberate this debt
559
00:25:29.210 --> 00:25:32.090
and then begin to use all of our resources
560
00:25:32.090 --> 00:25:33.260
to take this teaching
561
00:25:33.260 --> 00:25:35.870
and these materials to
the ends of the earth.
562
00:25:35.870 --> 00:25:39.440
And that includes a lot
of materials that we give.
563
00:25:39.440 --> 00:25:42.140
We sow a lot of our material
564
00:25:42.140 --> 00:25:45.020
because there are many people
who cannot afford to pay.
565
00:25:45.020 --> 00:25:48.080
And we want them to have the
teaching of the word of God
566
00:25:48.080 --> 00:25:49.730
that they can trust.
567
00:25:49.730 --> 00:25:52.160
And if you're not a part
of our giving team already,
568
00:25:52.160 --> 00:25:54.770
please pray about being
a part of our giving team
569
00:25:54.770 --> 00:25:58.370
to reduce the debt in the
Ministry Expansion Project
570
00:25:58.370 --> 00:25:59.930
so we can move on
571
00:25:59.930 --> 00:26:02.300
and take the light of the gospel further
572
00:26:02.300 --> 00:26:03.350
to the ends of the earth.
573
00:26:08.150 --> 00:26:10.280
I told you when I began the program today,
574
00:26:10.280 --> 00:26:13.280
that this teaching had the
power to save your life.
575
00:26:13.280 --> 00:26:15.140
And it is the truth.
576
00:26:15.140 --> 00:26:17.090
If you will listen to the Holy Spirit,
577
00:26:17.090 --> 00:26:18.560
he'll tell you when to stop.
578
00:26:18.560 --> 00:26:19.970
He'll tell you when to go.
579
00:26:19.970 --> 00:26:21.800
He'll tell you what to do,
he'll tell you what to say.
580
00:26:21.800 --> 00:26:24.710
He will even tell you when to be quiet.
581
00:26:24.710 --> 00:26:27.140
My friends, he knows
everything in front of us.
582
00:26:27.140 --> 00:26:29.630
He even knows what the devil has planned.
583
00:26:29.630 --> 00:26:31.940
And if we will allow him to be our guide,
584
00:26:31.940 --> 00:26:35.300
he will give us the
excursion of a lifetime
585
00:26:35.300 --> 00:26:39.650
and we will be so glad we
followed his leadership.
586
00:26:39.650 --> 00:26:41.360
But please order the entire series,
587
00:26:41.360 --> 00:26:42.810
which is called, the Actions
588
00:26:42.810 --> 00:26:44.820
and Personality of the Holy Spirit.
589
00:26:44.820 --> 00:26:46.290
And it comes with a study guide.
590
00:26:46.290 --> 00:26:48.900
And we're also offering you now my book,
591
00:26:48.900 --> 00:26:51.660
which is called, My Victory Filled Day.
592
00:26:51.660 --> 00:26:53.700
Doesn't that sound good? I
know you wanna have victory in
593
00:26:53.700 --> 00:26:55.710
your day, and I'm gonna pray
594
00:26:55.710 --> 00:26:57.330
for you right now to have victory.
595
00:26:57.330 --> 00:27:00.240
Father, in the name of Jesus, Lord,
596
00:27:00.240 --> 00:27:03.060
you have sent the Holy Spirit to lead us.
597
00:27:03.060 --> 00:27:05.010
And Lord, we know that you want to lead us
598
00:27:05.010 --> 00:27:08.430
to triumph in our life and
every part of our life.
599
00:27:08.430 --> 00:27:10.920
Forgive us for trying to figure everything out by ourself.
600
00:27:10.920 --> 00:27:13.200
And thank you that you sent
the Holy Spirit to guide us
601
00:27:13.200 --> 00:27:16.980
and to lead us and help
us to learn to trust him
602
00:27:16.980 --> 00:27:20.490
as the spirit of truth
that will never mislead us
603
00:27:20.490 --> 00:27:22.440
and never misguide us.
604
00:27:22.440 --> 00:27:24.150
And Holy Spirit, we give you our hand,
605
00:27:24.150 --> 00:27:27.270
we give you our heart, and
today we ask you to lead us
606
00:27:27.270 --> 00:27:30.150
and to guide us in Jesus name,
607
00:27:30.150 --> 00:27:32.790
Amen. Well, I'll be back tomorrow.
608
00:27:32.790 --> 00:27:34.440
We're gonna wrap up this series,
609
00:27:34.440 --> 00:27:38.010
but until then, remember Ecclesiastes 8:4 says,
610
00:27:38.010 --> 00:27:41.550
"Where the word of a king is, there is power."
611
00:27:42.480 --> 00:27:44.940
If you've never received
Jesus as your Savior
612
00:27:44.940 --> 00:27:49.290
and Lord, now is the time for
you to experience a new life
613
00:27:49.290 --> 00:27:51.450
Jesus has to give you.
614
00:27:51.450 --> 00:27:55.530
Pray this prayer with me right now; Lord,
615
00:27:55.530 --> 00:27:59.550
I repent of my sin and
receive you as my Savior
616
00:27:59.550 --> 00:28:02.550
and Lord. Wash away my sin
617
00:28:02.550 --> 00:28:05.550
and make me completely new.
618
00:28:05.550 --> 00:28:09.390
I thank you that my sin is removed
619
00:28:09.390 --> 00:28:14.010
and Satan no longer has any
right to lay claim on me.
620
00:28:14.880 --> 00:28:18.870
I faithfully promise that
I will serve you as my Lord
621
00:28:18.870 --> 00:28:21.675
for the rest of my life.
622
00:28:21.675 --> 00:28:22.508
Amen.
