00:00:00.660 --> 00:00:03.150
This program is made
possible by the giving
2
00:00:03.150 --> 00:00:06.390
of the God called partners
of Renner Ministries.
3
00:00:07.320 --> 00:00:08.550
Welcome to today's program.
4
00:00:08.550 --> 00:00:09.750
My name is Rick Renner
5
00:00:09.750 --> 00:00:12.270
and my friend, I've been waiting for you.
6
00:00:12.270 --> 00:00:15.480
And thank you for letting me
come right into your space,
7
00:00:15.480 --> 00:00:16.890
reach for your Bible
8
00:00:16.890 --> 00:00:18.960
because today we're gonna
be going all over the Bible.
9
00:00:18.960 --> 00:00:21.780
We're beginning a brand new
series, which is called, How
10
00:00:21.780 --> 00:00:24.570
to Open the Window of
Heaven Over Your Life.
11
00:00:24.570 --> 00:00:27.990
What the Bible really says about giving,
12
00:00:27.990 --> 00:00:30.600
this is such an important subject
13
00:00:30.600 --> 00:00:33.480
because what we do with
our money determines
14
00:00:33.480 --> 00:00:35.910
how blessed we are going to be.
15
00:00:35.910 --> 00:00:39.300
And if we do right with our
money, it will open the window
16
00:00:39.300 --> 00:00:41.130
of Heaven over our life.
17
00:00:41.130 --> 00:00:43.530
And my friend, I know you
want the window of Heaven
18
00:00:43.530 --> 00:00:45.300
to be opened over your life.
19
00:00:45.300 --> 00:00:49.050
So I want you to order this brand new 5-part series
20
00:00:49.050 --> 00:00:50.970
that comes in multiple formats
21
00:00:50.970 --> 00:00:53.580
and it comes with a wonderful study guide.
22
00:00:53.580 --> 00:00:56.640
And right now we're also
offering you my book called A
23
00:00:56.640 --> 00:00:58.290
Life a Blaze.
24
00:00:58.290 --> 00:01:01.620
Do you have a copy of A Life Ablaze? Why not?
25
00:01:01.620 --> 00:01:03.210
This is a book you need
26
00:01:03.210 --> 00:01:04.950
and you don't just need
it, you need to read it
27
00:01:04.950 --> 00:01:08.820
because this book is loaded
with the 10 essential fuels
28
00:01:08.820 --> 00:01:12.270
you need to stay on fire for Jesus
29
00:01:12.270 --> 00:01:14.310
to the end of your life.
30
00:01:14.310 --> 00:01:16.770
It's not the will of God
for you to start on fire
31
00:01:16.770 --> 00:01:18.510
and then lose your fire.
32
00:01:18.510 --> 00:01:22.440
You can remain A Life Ablaze all the way to the end
33
00:01:22.440 --> 00:01:24.720
and go out in a blaze of glory.
34
00:01:24.720 --> 00:01:26.910
That's God's will for your life.
35
00:01:26.910 --> 00:01:28.320
But for you to stay on fire
36
00:01:28.320 --> 00:01:30.750
and to remain A Life Ablaze, you have
37
00:01:30.750 --> 00:01:33.000
to have 10 essential fuels
38
00:01:33.000 --> 00:01:36.510
that you're regularly putting
into your spiritual oven
39
00:01:36.510 --> 00:01:38.190
so you remain on fire,
40
00:01:38.190 --> 00:01:41.460
and that's what this book is about.
41
00:01:41.460 --> 00:01:43.980
So please order yours
right now by going online
42
00:01:43.980 --> 00:01:45.870
or by giving us a call.
43
00:01:45.870 --> 00:01:49.770
And please remember that we
want to pray for you. As soon
44
00:01:49.770 --> 00:01:53.370
as you go online or give us a
call, the moment we hear from
45
00:01:53.370 --> 00:01:55.950
you, we're gonna release our faith for God
46
00:01:55.950 --> 00:01:59.730
to respond generously in your life.
47
00:01:59.730 --> 00:02:01.620
We're gonna ask him to move.
48
00:02:01.620 --> 00:02:04.830
And according to Jeremiah 33:3, if we cry out
49
00:02:04.830 --> 00:02:07.650
to God in faith, he will
hear us, he will answer us,
50
00:02:07.650 --> 00:02:10.410
and he will show us
great and mighty things.
51
00:02:10.410 --> 00:02:13.320
And I believe that's what will happen
52
00:02:13.320 --> 00:02:15.990
if you'll give us a call or send us an email
53
00:02:15.990 --> 00:02:19.290
and let us know how to pray for you.
54
00:02:19.290 --> 00:02:21.360
I'll be back in just a moment.
55
00:02:22.200 --> 00:02:25.380
Get ready for a teaching
that feeds your spirit
56
00:02:25.380 --> 00:02:27.210
and your mind:
57
00:02:27.210 --> 00:02:30.930
where the word is the
anchor in uncertain times
58
00:02:30.930 --> 00:02:34.230
and doctrine doesn't bend to culture.
59
00:02:34.230 --> 00:02:35.640
We keep it simple,
60
00:02:35.640 --> 00:02:40.230
but dive deep revealing a
truth that strengthens us,
61
00:02:41.100 --> 00:02:43.020
a love that emboldens
62
00:02:44.130 --> 00:02:46.290
and a mission that touches the world.
63
00:02:48.630 --> 00:02:50.130
Let's join Rick Renner.
64
00:02:52.560 --> 00:02:54.990
Today I'm beginning a
brand new series called How
65
00:02:54.990 --> 00:02:58.590
to Open the Window of
Heaven over Your Life.
66
00:02:58.590 --> 00:03:03.040
And today's program is called
A Generous and Blessed Life.
67
00:03:03.040 --> 00:03:04.630
And I want you to reach for your Bible
68
00:03:04.630 --> 00:03:08.770
and open your Bibles to Matthew 6:21,
69
00:03:08.770 --> 00:03:11.860
which is going to be the
anchor verse for this series.
70
00:03:11.860 --> 00:03:13.270
And in this verse,
71
00:03:13.270 --> 00:03:17.140
Jesus makes this remarkable
statement about money.
72
00:03:17.140 --> 00:03:20.350
Listen to what he says; For where your treasure is,
73
00:03:20.350 --> 00:03:23.230
there will your heart be also. The word,
74
00:03:23.230 --> 00:03:26.080 line:15%
where, in Greek means exactly where, in
75
00:03:26.080 --> 00:03:29.170
that very place: you could translate it - exactly
76
00:03:29.170 --> 00:03:31.870
where your treasure is - in the very place
77
00:03:31.870 --> 00:03:34.000
where your treasure is.
78
00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:37.240
The word treasure is the Greek word, thesauros.
79
00:03:37.240 --> 00:03:42.040
It describes a treasure, money, riches, or investments.
80
00:03:42.040 --> 00:03:44.740
So in the very place where your money is,
81
00:03:44.740 --> 00:03:47.170
where your investments are,
where your resources are,
82
00:03:47.170 --> 00:03:50.380
Jesus says there will be your heart
83
00:03:50.380 --> 00:03:53.410 line:15%
also. The word, there, in Greek is the word, ekie: means
84
00:03:53.410 --> 00:03:55.870
exactly there.
85
00:03:55.870 --> 00:03:58.480
And in this verse, Jesus clearly
86
00:03:58.480 --> 00:04:02.860
and simply teaches that
money tells the story about
87
00:04:02.860 --> 00:04:04.450
where our heart is.
88
00:04:04.450 --> 00:04:08.650
Money is the great revealer
of what is inside the heart.
89
00:04:08.650 --> 00:04:11.830
And what we do with our heart reveals
90
00:04:11.830 --> 00:04:13.990
how much we really love the Lord
91
00:04:13.990 --> 00:04:16.630
and love the work of the ministry.
92
00:04:16.630 --> 00:04:19.960
One person has said you
can give without loving,
93
00:04:19.960 --> 00:04:21.940
and that's true, you can.
94
00:04:21.940 --> 00:04:23.440
You can give without loving,
95
00:04:23.440 --> 00:04:27.070
but you cannot love without giving.
96
00:04:27.070 --> 00:04:30.010
Isn't that true? Don't you find that true in your own life
97
00:04:30.010 --> 00:04:32.530
that when you love somebody
you want to do something
98
00:04:32.530 --> 00:04:34.930
for them, you even want to
be sacrificial for them.
99
00:04:34.930 --> 00:04:37.780
Why? Because your heart is there
100
00:04:37.780 --> 00:04:40.030
and your money follows your heart.
101
00:04:40.030 --> 00:04:43.720
That's what Jesus said in Matthew 6:21,
102
00:04:43.720 --> 00:04:46.870
where your treasure is that
reveals where your heart is,
103
00:04:46.870 --> 00:04:50.020
there will your heart be also.
104
00:04:50.020 --> 00:04:52.030
But you know what's interesting? The mere mention
105
00:04:52.030 --> 00:04:56.290
of money really arouses different reactions from people.
106
00:04:56.290 --> 00:04:58.150
Some people become excited
107
00:04:58.150 --> 00:05:01.360
because they realize that this
is God's way of blessing us.
108
00:05:01.360 --> 00:05:03.760
And when we're generous
with God, God's going
109
00:05:03.760 --> 00:05:05.560
to be generous with us.
110
00:05:05.560 --> 00:05:07.360
Other people become sarcastic
111
00:05:07.360 --> 00:05:09.280
and they say, ah, they're
just after our money.
112
00:05:09.280 --> 00:05:10.510
And it's amazing to me
113
00:05:10.510 --> 00:05:14.170
that people really get upset
if money is discussed in the
114
00:05:14.170 --> 00:05:16.930
context of ministry or the church.
115
00:05:16.930 --> 00:05:20.020
But you know in life the
truth is everybody's talking
116
00:05:20.020 --> 00:05:21.790
to you about money.
117
00:05:21.790 --> 00:05:24.010
For example, if you go
to the grocery store,
118
00:05:24.010 --> 00:05:27.820
isn't it amazing after you had
such a wonderful experience
119
00:05:27.820 --> 00:05:29.140
walking through the aisles
120
00:05:29.140 --> 00:05:32.170
and putting things into your
cart, you go to the registrar
121
00:05:32.170 --> 00:05:36.130
and before you leave,
they ask you for money.
122
00:05:36.130 --> 00:05:38.260
Can you imagine the audacity of that?
123
00:05:38.260 --> 00:05:41.800
Or how about if you go to a
movie, oh, you're so excited
124
00:05:41.800 --> 00:05:44.230
to go to the movie and you
stand at the cashier and
125
00:05:44.230 --> 00:05:48.700
before they give you a ticket,
first they ask you for money.
126
00:05:48.700 --> 00:05:51.550
Or how about going to a restaurant?
127
00:05:51.550 --> 00:05:55.150
After having such a marvelous experience and fellowship
128
00:05:55.150 --> 00:05:57.320
and your heart is so warmed,
129
00:05:57.320 --> 00:05:58.580
how does it end?
130
00:05:58.580 --> 00:05:59.870
They hand you a check
131
00:05:59.870 --> 00:06:03.890
and they ask you for
money, money, money, money.
132
00:06:03.890 --> 00:06:07.610
Everywhere you go, people are
talking to us about money.
133
00:06:07.610 --> 00:06:09.590
So why would it surprise us
134
00:06:09.590 --> 00:06:12.740
that even God would
address the issue of money?
135
00:06:12.740 --> 00:06:15.860
Jesus said, money is the great revealer of
136
00:06:15.860 --> 00:06:18.050
what is in the heart.
137
00:06:18.050 --> 00:06:19.640
And this was so important
138
00:06:19.640 --> 00:06:23.630
that Jesus talked about money
more than any other subject.
139
00:06:23.630 --> 00:06:24.830
The second subject
140
00:06:24.830 --> 00:06:26.720
that he covered more than
anything else was the
141
00:06:26.720 --> 00:06:27.980
subject of hell.
142
00:06:27.980 --> 00:06:29.240
And isn't that interesting?
143
00:06:29.240 --> 00:06:30.290
The subject of money
144
00:06:30.290 --> 00:06:33.470
and the subject of hell
are still the two subjects
145
00:06:33.470 --> 00:06:36.320
that people don't like to discuss.
146
00:06:36.320 --> 00:06:39.710
But Jesus talked about money
more than anything else
147
00:06:39.710 --> 00:06:43.340
because money is such
a revealer of what is
148
00:06:43.340 --> 00:06:47.000
inside a person's heart: how we spend it,
149
00:06:47.000 --> 00:06:49.250
how we save it, how we give it.
150
00:06:49.250 --> 00:06:52.940
It reveals a lot about who each one of us are.
151
00:06:52.940 --> 00:06:56.720
And again, Jesus said in Matthew 6:21, for
152
00:06:56.720 --> 00:06:59.120
where your treasure is - exactly there -
153
00:06:59.120 --> 00:07:02.420
where your treasure is,
your resources, your money,
154
00:07:02.420 --> 00:07:06.410
your investments, your resources there - exactly there -
155
00:07:06.410 --> 00:07:11.300
Jesus said, your heart will be
also, and His teaching on this
156
00:07:11.300 --> 00:07:13.850
subject is very, very clear.
157
00:07:13.850 --> 00:07:15.290
What a person does
158
00:07:15.290 --> 00:07:19.160
with his money reveals his heart.
159
00:07:19.160 --> 00:07:22.070
And if a person really,
really loves the Lord
160
00:07:22.070 --> 00:07:24.020
and loves the work of the ministry,
161
00:07:24.020 --> 00:07:26.570
he's gonna put his resources, he's going
162
00:07:26.570 --> 00:07:29.570
to put his treasure in the ministry or in the church
163
00:07:29.570 --> 00:07:32.630
because that's where his heart is.
164
00:07:32.630 --> 00:07:36.050
That's clearly what Jesus taught in Matthew
165
00:07:36.050 --> 00:07:37.400
6:21.
166
00:07:37.400 --> 00:07:39.170
Before I get into this teaching, I want
167
00:07:39.170 --> 00:07:41.720
to give you my personal testimony.
168
00:07:41.720 --> 00:07:44.870
When I was young, I was a
terrible, terrible giver.
169
00:07:44.870 --> 00:07:48.410
I had no faith about giving.
I was afraid to give.
170
00:07:48.410 --> 00:07:51.410
I was raised in a wonderful home that we did not have a lot
171
00:07:51.410 --> 00:07:53.360
of excess money in our home.
172
00:07:53.360 --> 00:07:56.960
And my father really struggled
with the subject of giving.
173
00:07:56.960 --> 00:07:58.280
My mother would get so upset
174
00:07:58.280 --> 00:07:59.840
and she would say, Ronald, are we giving?
175
00:07:59.840 --> 00:08:03.530
And it was just a very tense
conversation in our home.
176
00:08:03.530 --> 00:08:07.880
And because of that, I was
not really taught to give.
177
00:08:07.880 --> 00:08:09.170
So when Denise and I got married
178
00:08:09.170 --> 00:08:12.590
and we became associate pastors in a great big Baptist
179
00:08:12.590 --> 00:08:17.450
church, the pastor began to preach on Galatians 6:
180
00:08:17.450 --> 00:08:19.910
7, which says, Be not deceived,
181
00:08:19.910 --> 00:08:23.150 line:15%
God is not mocked, for whatsoever man soweth, that
182
00:08:24.350 --> 00:08:25.880
shall he also reap.
183
00:08:25.880 --> 00:08:27.890
And if you understand
that verse in context,
184
00:08:27.890 --> 00:08:30.980
it really is about giving; be not deceived,
185
00:08:30.980 --> 00:08:32.810
God has not mocked, for whatsoever man
186
00:08:32.810 --> 00:08:35.210
soweth, that's shall he also reap.
187
00:08:35.210 --> 00:08:37.790
And he preached it week after week
188
00:08:37.790 --> 00:08:41.960
after week trying to drive this revelation into the hearts
189
00:08:41.960 --> 00:08:43.760
of all the church members.
190
00:08:43.760 --> 00:08:45.530
And I wasn't giving.
191
00:08:45.530 --> 00:08:47.390
And Denise would look at me
192
00:08:47.390 --> 00:08:50.360
and she would say, Rick, are we giving?
193
00:08:50.360 --> 00:08:51.890
Well, I didn't want to answer that question
194
00:08:51.890 --> 00:08:53.600
because I was embarrassed.
195
00:08:53.600 --> 00:08:54.950
So I would say to Denise,
196
00:08:55.890 --> 00:09:00.890
How could you even possibly ask me such a question?
197
00:09:00.900 --> 00:09:04.140
Tried to deflect the question
so I didn't have to answer it;
198
00:09:04.140 --> 00:09:07.860
but that the truth is, I was not giving.
199
00:09:07.860 --> 00:09:10.740
But finally I came around
to the fact that if I wanted
200
00:09:10.740 --> 00:09:12.840
to have a blessed life, then I had
201
00:09:12.840 --> 00:09:14.310
to learn how to be generous.
202
00:09:14.310 --> 00:09:18.990
You know why? Because God is
generous with the generous.
203
00:09:18.990 --> 00:09:22.050
In fact, you should just say that: God is generous
204
00:09:22.050 --> 00:09:24.630
with the generous, and praise God,
205
00:09:24.630 --> 00:09:28.200
I learned the secret of giving. My friends,
206
00:09:28.200 --> 00:09:30.960
it is not a burden to give. It is relief.
207
00:09:30.960 --> 00:09:33.390
It is a blessing because
when you are a generous,
208
00:09:33.390 --> 00:09:37.320
it opens the window of Heaven over your life for God
209
00:09:37.320 --> 00:09:40.230
to be financially generous with you.
210
00:09:40.230 --> 00:09:44.430
And my friend, God himself is the example of generosity.
211
00:09:44.430 --> 00:09:45.930
When it was time for God to give
212
00:09:45.930 --> 00:09:50.190
to the world He gave his son,
God gave his very, very best.
213
00:09:50.190 --> 00:09:55.190
And my friend God was,
and God is still generous.
214
00:09:55.350 --> 00:09:56.670
Think of how generous God is
215
00:09:56.670 --> 00:09:59.700
with you: generous in the mercy he gives to you,
216
00:09:59.700 --> 00:10:02.040
generous in the love he gives to you,
217
00:10:02.040 --> 00:10:05.610
generous in his patience and
his forgiveness with you.
218
00:10:05.610 --> 00:10:08.340
Everything about God is generous
219
00:10:08.340 --> 00:10:11.010
and I think that you're
very glad about that.
220
00:10:11.010 --> 00:10:13.170
And Jesus was generous
221
00:10:13.170 --> 00:10:17.250
and Jesus passed this
generosity to his apostles.
222
00:10:17.250 --> 00:10:19.230
They passed it on to the early church.
223
00:10:19.230 --> 00:10:21.750
But I wanna show you a verse that proves
224
00:10:21.750 --> 00:10:24.420
how generous Jesus was.
225
00:10:24.420 --> 00:10:28.680
And that verse is Acts 10:38, our verse
226
00:10:28.680 --> 00:10:30.300
that especially charismatics love
227
00:10:30.300 --> 00:10:31.770
to quote and I love it too.
228
00:10:31.770 --> 00:10:35.790
And listen to what it says; How God anointed Jesus
229
00:10:35.790 --> 00:10:37.770 line:15%
of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost
230
00:10:37.770 --> 00:10:39.900
and with power who went about doing good
231
00:10:39.900 --> 00:10:43.650
and healing all that were
oppressed of the devil.
232
00:10:43.650 --> 00:10:45.330
But notice it said He
went about doing good
233
00:10:45.330 --> 00:10:48.330
and healing all that were
oppressed of the devil.
234
00:10:48.330 --> 00:10:51.300
Well, most people assume
this is all one thing:
235
00:10:51.300 --> 00:10:54.510
that his doing good was
healing his doing good was
236
00:10:54.510 --> 00:10:57.150
delivering those that were
oppressed of the devil.
237
00:10:57.150 --> 00:11:00.450
But when you read this in the
Greek, it's quite shocking
238
00:11:00.450 --> 00:11:05.310
because these words doing good, are very specific Greek word
239
00:11:05.310 --> 00:11:07.770
that can only be translated one way and
240
00:11:07.770 --> 00:11:11.280
therefore in this verse, it
can only have one meaning.
241
00:11:11.280 --> 00:11:15.090
These words, doing good, in Greek are the very word
242
00:11:15.090 --> 00:11:17.550
for a philanthropist:
243
00:11:17.550 --> 00:11:20.490
one who financially supports charitable works
244
00:11:20.490 --> 00:11:24.090
or a person who uses his financial resources
245
00:11:24.090 --> 00:11:28.080
to meet the needs of disadvantaged people,
246
00:11:28.080 --> 00:11:32.580
which means - Jesus had a lot of money available to him
247
00:11:32.580 --> 00:11:34.380
and to his ministry
248
00:11:34.380 --> 00:11:38.850
and he used those resources
to meet the needs of people.
249
00:11:38.850 --> 00:11:42.300
He was generous in the way
that he reached out to those
250
00:11:42.300 --> 00:11:45.450
who were disadvantaged -
which means - in addition
251
00:11:45.450 --> 00:11:48.180
to his ministry of healing the
sick and casting out devils
252
00:11:48.180 --> 00:11:51.900
and preaching the word of God,
Jesus had an entire branch
253
00:11:51.900 --> 00:11:54.490
of his ministry that was philanthropic
254
00:11:54.490 --> 00:11:57.010
where they generously gave to meet the needs
255
00:11:57.010 --> 00:11:58.810
of disadvantaged people.
256
00:11:58.810 --> 00:12:03.100
That's Jesus. And that explains why he needed a treasurer
257
00:12:03.100 --> 00:12:04.780
for his ministry.
258
00:12:04.780 --> 00:12:07.870
And Hebrews 13:8 says,
259
00:12:07.870 --> 00:12:12.670
Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today
260
00:12:12.670 --> 00:12:13.780
and forever.
261
00:12:13.780 --> 00:12:16.750
If it was his heart, then it is his heart
262
00:12:16.750 --> 00:12:20.110
now. What he did is what he is still doing.
263
00:12:20.110 --> 00:12:23.200
And my friends, if Jesus
was generous, we need
264
00:12:23.200 --> 00:12:25.030
to be generous too.
265
00:12:25.030 --> 00:12:30.030
And we find that generosity
flowed in the early church.
266
00:12:30.160 --> 00:12:34.330
We read about it in Acts 2:44
267
00:12:34.330 --> 00:12:35.920
and 45.
268
00:12:35.920 --> 00:12:38.740 line:15%
It says, And all that believed were together
269
00:12:38.740 --> 00:12:41.470
and had all things common and sold their possessions
270
00:12:41.470 --> 00:12:45.910
and goods and parted them to
all man as every man had need.
271
00:12:45.910 --> 00:12:50.320
That verse follows the day of Pentecost.
272
00:12:50.320 --> 00:12:53.680
And when the power of God was
poured out on the early church
273
00:12:53.680 --> 00:12:58.150
and God touched their hearts,
they became spiritually alive.
274
00:12:58.150 --> 00:13:00.400
And when they became spiritually alive,
275
00:13:00.400 --> 00:13:04.000
they opened their wallets,
they opened their purses,
276
00:13:04.000 --> 00:13:06.040
they opened their pocketbooks.
277
00:13:06.040 --> 00:13:09.220
They were not stinging, hoarding everything to themselves.
278
00:13:09.220 --> 00:13:11.650
But when God touched their
hearts, they said, Lord,
279
00:13:11.650 --> 00:13:15.880
whatever we have, it is yours
to use however you wish.
280
00:13:15.880 --> 00:13:17.440
And it is always a sign
281
00:13:17.440 --> 00:13:20.110
that God's moved in a person's heart.
282
00:13:20.110 --> 00:13:22.600
When they begin to open
their pocketbook, they begin
283
00:13:22.600 --> 00:13:25.480
to open their purse, they
begin to open their wallet
284
00:13:25.480 --> 00:13:26.860
and they say, Lord, everything
285
00:13:26.860 --> 00:13:29.560
that I have is at your disposal.
286
00:13:29.560 --> 00:13:32.770
And that's what happened
in the early church.
287
00:13:32.770 --> 00:13:34.570
And I want to give you a testimony.
288
00:13:34.570 --> 00:13:36.820
When Denise and I were first married
289
00:13:36.820 --> 00:13:39.850
and our pastor began to preach from Galatians 6:
290
00:13:39.850 --> 00:13:43.390
7, which says, Be not deceived, God is not mocked
291
00:13:43.390 --> 00:13:48.390
for whatsoever a man soweth that shall he also reap.
292
00:13:48.610 --> 00:13:51.400
We were in a very old traditional church
293
00:13:51.400 --> 00:13:54.100
that was pretty stingy in its giving
294
00:13:54.100 --> 00:13:56.200
and that's why the pastor was preaching.
295
00:13:56.200 --> 00:13:58.240
He wasn't after people's money.
296
00:13:58.240 --> 00:14:00.670
He wanted people to be blessed.
297
00:14:00.670 --> 00:14:02.710
And he knew that if people would be generous,
298
00:14:02.710 --> 00:14:05.530
God would respond by being generous to them.
299
00:14:05.530 --> 00:14:08.830
So he began to preach; whatsoever a man sows and sows
300
00:14:08.830 --> 00:14:12.280
and sows and sows - that shall he also reap and reap
301
00:14:12.280 --> 00:14:13.300
and reap and reap.
302
00:14:13.300 --> 00:14:17.380
And finally one man in the congregation got the revelation
303
00:14:17.380 --> 00:14:20.800
and he gave a huge sacrificial,
304
00:14:20.800 --> 00:14:22.390
generous gift.
305
00:14:22.390 --> 00:14:24.490
And when the pastor announced
306
00:14:24.490 --> 00:14:27.400
that such a gift had been
given, suddenly God began
307
00:14:27.400 --> 00:14:28.900
to move upon the congregation.
308
00:14:28.900 --> 00:14:32.890
And week by week we saw that old church,
309
00:14:32.890 --> 00:14:34.510
which had been rather stingy,
310
00:14:34.510 --> 00:14:38.290
become extremely generous with God.
311
00:14:38.290 --> 00:14:42.880
It was amazing. And guess what happened in that church?
312
00:14:42.880 --> 00:14:45.460
When people opened their pocketbooks
313
00:14:45.460 --> 00:14:48.760
and became generous with
God, it was like God said,
314
00:14:48.760 --> 00:14:51.110
I really like what's going on there.
315
00:14:51.110 --> 00:14:53.000
I'm going to come down there, visit them,
316
00:14:53.000 --> 00:14:56.450
and now I am going to be generous with them.
317
00:14:56.450 --> 00:15:01.160
And that is because God is
generous with the generous
318
00:15:01.160 --> 00:15:04.730
and the power of the Holy
Spirit was poured out on
319
00:15:04.730 --> 00:15:08.240
that old traditional denominational church.
320
00:15:08.240 --> 00:15:09.860
Miracles begin to happen.
321
00:15:09.860 --> 00:15:12.530
The altar was filled with
people walking the aisles
322
00:15:12.530 --> 00:15:14.240
to give their lives to Christ.
323
00:15:14.240 --> 00:15:17.660
It is amazing what we witness take place
324
00:15:17.660 --> 00:15:21.110
when people became generous with God. God showed up
325
00:15:21.110 --> 00:15:23.030
and God became generous with people
326
00:15:23.030 --> 00:15:26.240
and God became generous with that church.
327
00:15:26.240 --> 00:15:30.470
And I have learned in life that the more you give, the more
328
00:15:30.470 --> 00:15:31.790
that comes back to you
329
00:15:31.790 --> 00:15:35.240
because God is the greatest
giver in the universe
330
00:15:35.240 --> 00:15:37.160
and he won't let you out
331
00:15:37.160 --> 00:15:40.550
give him. Just go ahead and try. See what happens.
332
00:15:40.550 --> 00:15:44.420
You're going to find out - you cannot out give God.
333
00:15:44.420 --> 00:15:47.840
And that is why Jesus taught in Luke 6:38;
334
00:15:47.840 --> 00:15:49.130
Your gift will return
335
00:15:49.130 --> 00:15:52.910
to you in full press down
shaken together to make room
336
00:15:52.910 --> 00:15:56.540
for more running over
and poured into your lap.
337
00:15:56.540 --> 00:16:00.350
The amount you give will
determine the amount you
338
00:16:00.350 --> 00:16:01.790
get back.
339
00:16:01.790 --> 00:16:03.260
And I want to say it again.
340
00:16:03.260 --> 00:16:07.310
If you're generous with God,
God is going to show you
341
00:16:07.310 --> 00:16:10.340
how generous he wants to be with you.
342
00:16:10.340 --> 00:16:13.820
But it also means if you are stingy
343
00:16:13.820 --> 00:16:18.050
and you're giving is stingy,
as a result, what comes back
344
00:16:18.050 --> 00:16:20.810
to you may be dramatically less.
345
00:16:20.810 --> 00:16:24.200
And we find this very clearly stated in scripture.
346
00:16:24.200 --> 00:16:27.320
In 2 Corinthians 9:6,
347
00:16:27.320 --> 00:16:29.420
the apostle Paul repeated this truth
348
00:16:29.420 --> 00:16:33.380
and he said; He that soweth sparingly shall reap sparingly.
349
00:16:33.380 --> 00:16:34.400
It's talking about money.
350
00:16:35.630 --> 00:16:37.550
It means if you give a little,
you're gonna reap a little.
351
00:16:37.550 --> 00:16:39.260
Now God is so good, he's gonna see to it
352
00:16:39.260 --> 00:16:41.270
that you reap whatever you sow.
353
00:16:41.270 --> 00:16:44.240
But if you sow sparingly, you're going to reap sparingly.
354
00:16:44.240 --> 00:16:45.590
But it goes on to say, he
355
00:16:45.590 --> 00:16:48.320
that sows bountifully
shall reap bountifully
356
00:16:48.320 --> 00:16:49.640
or I like to translate it:
357
00:16:49.640 --> 00:16:53.750
he that sows generously shall reap
358
00:16:53.750 --> 00:16:54.830
generously.
359
00:16:54.830 --> 00:16:56.240
How can you argue with that?
360
00:16:56.240 --> 00:16:59.930
That is exactly what 2 Corinthians 9:
361
00:16:59.930 --> 00:17:02.330
6 says; it couldn't be any clearer.
362
00:17:02.330 --> 00:17:04.760
It means if we're stingy, we're going
363
00:17:04.760 --> 00:17:06.680
to experience stingy results.
364
00:17:06.680 --> 00:17:09.530
But if we are generous, we're going
365
00:17:09.530 --> 00:17:14.180
to experience the generous supply of heaven.
366
00:17:14.180 --> 00:17:17.060
But let me use the example for a moment of the Dead Sea.
367
00:17:17.060 --> 00:17:19.220
I don't know if you've
ever been to Israel,
368
00:17:19.220 --> 00:17:21.530
but the Dead Sea is quite a sight to see.
369
00:17:21.530 --> 00:17:23.960
And of course it is dead.
370
00:17:23.960 --> 00:17:28.960
It is amazing that the Jordan
River flows into the Dead Sea.
371
00:17:29.120 --> 00:17:31.340
The Jordan River is alive;
372
00:17:31.340 --> 00:17:33.170
the Jordan River is filled with fish.
373
00:17:33.170 --> 00:17:35.450
It's filled with all kinds of life,
374
00:17:35.450 --> 00:17:40.310
but when it flows into the
Dead Sea, it becomes dead.
375
00:17:40.310 --> 00:17:45.310
There's nothing living in the
Dead Sea. Do you know why?
376
00:17:45.500 --> 00:17:49.230
Because the Dead Sea has no
outlet. It is just a receiver.
377
00:17:49.230 --> 00:17:52.500
It receives and receives
and receives and receives.
378
00:17:52.500 --> 00:17:55.290
Everything flows into the Dead Sea.
379
00:17:55.290 --> 00:17:59.070
It is a taker, it is a receiver, but there's no outlet.
380
00:17:59.070 --> 00:18:01.110
It flows nowhere.
381
00:18:01.110 --> 00:18:02.400
And because of that,
382
00:18:02.400 --> 00:18:05.040
it does not have the
ability to produce life.
383
00:18:05.040 --> 00:18:08.400
And scientists say that
if an outlook could be
384
00:18:08.400 --> 00:18:09.570
provided for the dead Sea
385
00:18:09.570 --> 00:18:11.640
and water could flow out, the waters
386
00:18:11.640 --> 00:18:15.030
of the Dead Sea would come alive.
387
00:18:15.030 --> 00:18:17.730
And my friends, I believe
God gave us the Dead Sea
388
00:18:17.730 --> 00:18:20.670
as an example of what we
are not supposed to be.
389
00:18:20.670 --> 00:18:23.940
God never intended for a Christian just
390
00:18:23.940 --> 00:18:25.710
to be on the receiving side.
391
00:18:25.710 --> 00:18:29.430
I want, I want, I want, I
want taking, taking, taking,
392
00:18:29.430 --> 00:18:33.600
taking God intense for just
to flow right through us.
393
00:18:33.600 --> 00:18:36.360
And just like we have
generously received, we need
394
00:18:36.360 --> 00:18:38.310
to generously give.
395
00:18:38.310 --> 00:18:39.840
And as long as we're giving,
396
00:18:39.840 --> 00:18:43.020
we will spiritually
remain vital and vibrant.
397
00:18:43.020 --> 00:18:47.430
That is the truth, my friends.
Wow, that's pretty powerful.
398
00:18:47.430 --> 00:18:50.190
But when Christians just
invest in themselves,
399
00:18:50.190 --> 00:18:51.450
spend on themselves
400
00:18:51.450 --> 00:18:54.540
or spend on their own family,
my friends, this is not
401
00:18:54.540 --> 00:18:56.040
what God intended.
402
00:18:56.040 --> 00:18:58.290
This is not how he made us.
403
00:18:58.290 --> 00:19:00.210
And in all the years that
I've served the Lord,
404
00:19:00.210 --> 00:19:02.010
I have learned this one thing.
405
00:19:02.010 --> 00:19:04.860
It is not humanly possible for you
406
00:19:04.860 --> 00:19:07.470
to ever - out give God.
407
00:19:07.470 --> 00:19:12.150
And in Matthew 6:21, Jesus said, For
408
00:19:12.150 --> 00:19:16.560
where your treasure is, exactly there, where your treasure,
409
00:19:16.560 --> 00:19:19.500
your cash, your resources, your investments,
410
00:19:19.500 --> 00:19:24.390
where you put your money will
reveal where your heart is.
411
00:19:24.390 --> 00:19:27.390
So according to Jesus, what a person does
412
00:19:27.390 --> 00:19:32.390
with his money reveals
what is inside his heart.
413
00:19:32.640 --> 00:19:35.550
I also find it interesting
that stingy people,
414
00:19:35.550 --> 00:19:37.800
when they do something
for somebody that's small,
415
00:19:37.800 --> 00:19:40.350
they think they've done
something really huge.
416
00:19:40.350 --> 00:19:43.050
But when a person does something generous
417
00:19:43.050 --> 00:19:45.390
because they have a generous attitude,
418
00:19:45.390 --> 00:19:47.550
they always wish they could have done more.
419
00:19:47.550 --> 00:19:49.530
The generous are not thinking about
420
00:19:49.530 --> 00:19:50.640
how little they can give.
421
00:19:50.640 --> 00:19:52.350
They're always thinking about, oh,
422
00:19:52.350 --> 00:19:54.240
I wish I could have done more.
423
00:19:54.240 --> 00:19:56.790
It's because that is the
attitude of their heart.
424
00:19:56.790 --> 00:19:59.970
And by the way, generosity is
not just about what you give
425
00:19:59.970 --> 00:20:01.710
to the ministry or what
you give to the Lord
426
00:20:01.710 --> 00:20:03.030
or what you give to the church.
427
00:20:03.030 --> 00:20:05.340
Generosity is demonstrated in what kind
428
00:20:05.340 --> 00:20:09.270
of tip you leave in a restaurant: what kind of tip you leave
429
00:20:09.270 --> 00:20:11.850
for the person that cuts
your hair, colors your hair.
430
00:20:11.850 --> 00:20:14.340
If a person's put gas
in your tank, what kind
431
00:20:14.340 --> 00:20:16.170
of a tip did you give him?
432
00:20:16.170 --> 00:20:19.080
Generosity, my friends it's not just an act,
433
00:20:19.080 --> 00:20:21.750
it flows from the heart. It is an attitude.
434
00:20:21.750 --> 00:20:24.690
And when you are a generous person, you want
435
00:20:24.690 --> 00:20:28.020
to be a blessing to everybody that you meet.
436
00:20:28.020 --> 00:20:32.190
And when you're generous, God will be generous
437
00:20:32.190 --> 00:20:33.390
with you.
438
00:20:33.390 --> 00:20:36.120
That is the clear teaching of scripture.
439
00:20:36.120 --> 00:20:39.240
And I want to ask you - if you ask God today - God,
440
00:20:39.240 --> 00:20:42.030
am I generous or am I stingy?
441
00:20:42.030 --> 00:20:44.070
How would God answer you?
442
00:20:44.070 --> 00:20:46.170
It's important that you ask that question
443
00:20:46.170 --> 00:20:49.150
because God is generous with the generous.
444
00:20:49.150 --> 00:20:51.550
And if you want God to be generous with you, then you need
445
00:20:51.550 --> 00:20:53.200
to be a generous person.
446
00:20:53.200 --> 00:20:55.300
So maybe you need to ask the Lord, Lord,
447
00:20:55.300 --> 00:20:56.530
what kind of person am I?
448
00:20:56.530 --> 00:21:00.220
Am I a stingy or do you
see me as being generous?
449
00:21:00.220 --> 00:21:01.720
And you need to respond well
450
00:21:01.720 --> 00:21:03.970
to whatever the Lord says to you.
451
00:21:03.970 --> 00:21:07.090
But listen to this in Proverbs 11:24 -
452
00:21:07.090 --> 00:21:12.090
25; it says, One gives freely yet grows all the richer.
453
00:21:12.220 --> 00:21:14.020
Another withholds what he should give
454
00:21:14.020 --> 00:21:15.880
and only sufferers want.
455
00:21:15.880 --> 00:21:18.490
Whoever brings blessing will be enriched
456
00:21:18.490 --> 00:21:22.150
and one who waters will
himself be watered.
457
00:21:22.150 --> 00:21:23.230
Which means what you do
458
00:21:23.230 --> 00:21:26.320
for others is what's
going to happen to you.
459
00:21:26.320 --> 00:21:29.980
In Proverbs 22:9, it says, Whosoever has a generous
460
00:21:29.980 --> 00:21:32.800
or bountiful eye will be blessed.
461
00:21:32.800 --> 00:21:35.350
When you're generous, you see things differently.
462
00:21:35.350 --> 00:21:38.800
You are looking for opportunities to be a blessing.
463
00:21:38.800 --> 00:21:42.700
And in Psalm 112:5, it literally says,
464
00:21:42.700 --> 00:21:47.700
God will come to those who are generous.
465
00:21:47.710 --> 00:21:51.490
When you are generous, God's
going to be generous with you
466
00:21:51.490 --> 00:21:55.720
and you are going to have a blessed life.
467
00:21:55.720 --> 00:21:58.450
I'll be back in just a moment
and I wanna pray for you.
468
00:21:58.450 --> 00:22:01.660
What does the Bible really mean when it says God will open
469
00:22:01.660 --> 00:22:03.370
the windows of heaven over the lives
470
00:22:03.370 --> 00:22:04.960
of those who are givers?
471
00:22:04.960 --> 00:22:07.480
And how do you know if the
windows of God are closed
472
00:22:07.480 --> 00:22:09.970
or open over your life?
473
00:22:09.970 --> 00:22:12.910
Rick Renner says, Years ago, I didn't understand
474
00:22:12.910 --> 00:22:16.000
how vital it was that I sowed
into the kingdom of God.
475
00:22:16.000 --> 00:22:19.720
And as a result, Denise and
I lived sad financial lives.
476
00:22:19.720 --> 00:22:22.510
But a day came when the Holy
Spirit showed me the powerful
477
00:22:22.510 --> 00:22:25.540
results that take place when
you become a regular giver.
478
00:22:25.540 --> 00:22:28.840
The day Denise and I began to
give, we discovered the key
479
00:22:28.840 --> 00:22:31.930
that opens the window of Heaven. In this series,

00:22:34.330 --> 00:22:37.690
Rick covers: that God is generous with the generous,
482
00:22:37.690 --> 00:22:40.690
how God responds to sacrificial giving, how
483
00:22:40.690 --> 00:22:43.120
to open the window of heaven over your life.
484
00:22:43.120 --> 00:22:45.100
What Jesus said about giving:
485
00:22:45.100 --> 00:22:47.350
what the Apostle Paul said about giving:

501
00:23:24.610 --> 00:23:28.180
Hey friends, this is Rick
Renner, and look where I am.
502
00:23:28.180 --> 00:23:32.230
I'm just outside the Tulsa
headquarters building that is
503
00:23:32.230 --> 00:23:33.790
so wonderful
504
00:23:33.790 --> 00:23:38.590
and inside this building,
ministry is happening nonstop.
505
00:23:38.590 --> 00:23:40.900
As people are calling
and we're calling people
506
00:23:40.900 --> 00:23:44.620
and they're responding to
teaching, they can trust
507
00:23:44.620 --> 00:23:46.880
that our prayer
508
00:23:46.880 --> 00:23:49.340
and God has been so good to enable us
509
00:23:49.340 --> 00:23:50.570
to move into this building.
510
00:23:50.570 --> 00:23:54.800
And guess what? The Ministry Expansion Program is now
511
00:23:54.800 --> 00:23:57.530
70% complete.
512
00:23:57.530 --> 00:24:00.080
Say - Amen. That is such a victory.
513
00:24:00.080 --> 00:24:02.960
And this has happened in a
very short period of time,
514
00:24:02.960 --> 00:24:05.540
but we still have 30% that we need
515
00:24:05.540 --> 00:24:09.290
to retire the debt on on this facility.
516
00:24:09.290 --> 00:24:11.360
And if you're a part of our giving team,
517
00:24:11.360 --> 00:24:14.750
I wanna say thank you for everything you have already done
518
00:24:14.750 --> 00:24:16.940
and please together, let's keep it up
519
00:24:16.940 --> 00:24:19.310
because we need to retire
the debt on this building
520
00:24:19.310 --> 00:24:22.940
so we can release all those
finances to take teaching
521
00:24:22.940 --> 00:24:25.010
of the Bible to the ends of the Earth.
522
00:24:25.010 --> 00:24:26.990
And if you're not already a part
523
00:24:26.990 --> 00:24:30.050
of the Ministry Giving Team,
would you please become a part
524
00:24:30.050 --> 00:24:33.380
of the team to help us
retire the remaining 30%
525
00:24:33.380 --> 00:24:35.300
of the debt on this building?
526
00:24:35.300 --> 00:24:40.010
Wow, what a victory that will
be. We'll shout, hallelujah
527
00:24:40.010 --> 00:24:42.230
and you'll say Hallelujah with us
528
00:24:42.230 --> 00:24:45.080
and people around the
world will be benefited
529
00:24:45.080 --> 00:24:49.280
because finally, funds will be released, redirected so
530
00:24:49.280 --> 00:24:53.120
that we can take teaching
people can trust to the ends
531
00:24:53.120 --> 00:24:54.590
of the earth.
532
00:24:54.590 --> 00:24:58.340
And that my friend is what
it's all about with us.
533
00:24:58.340 --> 00:25:02.540
We want to reach people that are crying out for the teaching
534
00:25:02.540 --> 00:25:03.890
of God's Word.
535
00:25:03.890 --> 00:25:07.130
But thank you for becoming a part of the Giving Team.
536
00:25:10.490 --> 00:25:14.030
Today I started a brand new series called, How
537
00:25:14.030 --> 00:25:17.780
to Open the Window of
Heaven over Your Life.
538
00:25:17.780 --> 00:25:21.290
And the subtitle says, What the Bible really says
539
00:25:21.290 --> 00:25:22.310
About Giving.
540
00:25:22.310 --> 00:25:26.300
And today we've seen that
God is generous with those
541
00:25:26.300 --> 00:25:27.590
who are generous.
542
00:25:27.590 --> 00:25:30.200
And if you want to have a
blessed life, then you have
543
00:25:30.200 --> 00:25:32.930
to become a generous person.
544
00:25:32.930 --> 00:25:33.980
Please order this
545
00:25:33.980 --> 00:25:36.920
because money affects
every part of our life.
546
00:25:36.920 --> 00:25:38.540
And if we wanna have a lot of money
547
00:25:38.540 --> 00:25:39.950
and enough money to pay our bills
548
00:25:39.950 --> 00:25:42.590
and be a blessing to somebody
else, then we need to know
549
00:25:42.590 --> 00:25:44.690
what God really says about giving
550
00:25:44.690 --> 00:25:48.770
and how to open that window
of Heaven over our lives.
551
00:25:48.770 --> 00:25:51.800
I rarely teach on this, but
I believe it is so important.
552
00:25:51.800 --> 00:25:53.960
I'm putting this into an entire series
553
00:25:53.960 --> 00:25:56.450
and I want you to order it by going online
554
00:25:56.450 --> 00:25:57.770
or by giving us a call.
555
00:25:57.770 --> 00:26:00.800
And remember that it
comes with a study guide.
556
00:26:00.800 --> 00:26:03.080
And right now we're also
offering you my book,
557
00:26:03.080 --> 00:26:05.600
which is called, A Life Ablaze.
558
00:26:05.600 --> 00:26:10.340
The subtitle says, 10 simple
keys to Living on Fire
559
00:26:10.340 --> 00:26:11.930
for God.
560
00:26:11.930 --> 00:26:15.050
Hey friend, you're
supposed to live on fire,
561
00:26:15.050 --> 00:26:17.420
not reflect back on when you were on fire.
562
00:26:17.420 --> 00:26:19.340
You're supposed to stay on fire
563
00:26:19.340 --> 00:26:22.520
and you can if you know what fuels
564
00:26:22.520 --> 00:26:24.470
to put into your spiritual oven.
565
00:26:24.470 --> 00:26:26.270
And that's what this is about.
566
00:26:26.270 --> 00:26:29.210
10 spirits will fuels to keep you on fire
567
00:26:29.210 --> 00:26:31.040
to the end of your life.
568
00:26:31.040 --> 00:26:33.500
Please order yours by going online
569
00:26:33.500 --> 00:26:35.300
or by giving us a call right now.
570
00:26:35.300 --> 00:26:39.110
And my friend, when you reach
out to us, please let us know
571
00:26:39.110 --> 00:26:42.650
how to pray for you because
we want to pray for you.
572
00:26:42.650 --> 00:26:45.240
But Father, I thank you right
now that you are generous
573
00:26:45.240 --> 00:26:47.970
with the generous. Lord,
574
00:26:47.970 --> 00:26:50.400
help us to have a generous eye to see
575
00:26:50.400 --> 00:26:52.320
how we can be a blessing to you
576
00:26:52.320 --> 00:26:54.210
and how we can be a blessing to others,
577
00:26:54.210 --> 00:26:55.590
and we ask you in response
578
00:26:55.590 --> 00:26:58.620
to pour your generosity out in our lives.
579
00:26:58.620 --> 00:27:02.940
In Jesus' name - Amen. I'll see you tomorrow,
580
00:27:02.940 --> 00:27:05.880
but remember Ecclesiastes 8:4, "Where the word
581
00:27:05.880 --> 00:27:08.940
of a king is there is power."
582
00:27:09.840 --> 00:27:12.090
If you've never received Jesus as your Savior
583
00:27:12.090 --> 00:27:16.500
and Lord, now is the time for you to experience a new life
584
00:27:16.500 --> 00:27:18.660
Jesus has to give you.
585
00:27:18.660 --> 00:27:22.710
Pray this prayer with me right now; Lord,
586
00:27:22.710 --> 00:27:26.730
I repented my sin and receive you as my Savior
587
00:27:26.730 --> 00:27:29.700
and Lord. Wash away my sin
588
00:27:29.700 --> 00:27:32.760
and make me completely new.
589
00:27:32.760 --> 00:27:36.540
I thank you that my sin is removed
590
00:27:36.540 --> 00:27:41.250
and Satan no longer has any
right to lay claim on me.
591
00:27:42.090 --> 00:27:46.050
I faithfully promise that
I will serve you as my Lord
592
00:27:46.050 --> 00:27:47.730
for the rest of my life.
593
00:27:48.750 --> 00:27:53.580
Amen. If you just prayed the
prayer of salvation with us,
594
00:27:53.580 --> 00:27:55.530
would you please let us know by going
595
