00:00:00.660 --> 00:00:03.180
This program is made
possible by the giving
2
00:00:03.180 --> 00:00:06.390
of the God called partners
of Renner Ministries.
3
00:00:07.440 --> 00:00:08.820
Hey friend, welcome to the program.
4
00:00:08.820 --> 00:00:10.080
My name is Rick Renner
5
00:00:10.080 --> 00:00:13.410
and today we're going to continue in our brand new series
6
00:00:13.410 --> 00:00:15.450
called How to Open the Window
7
00:00:15.450 --> 00:00:19.620
of Heaven Over Your Life:
With the Bible Really Says
8
00:00:19.620 --> 00:00:21.360
About Giving.
9
00:00:21.360 --> 00:00:23.790
This is such an important subject
10
00:00:23.790 --> 00:00:27.780
because all of us need to
be financially blessed.
11
00:00:27.780 --> 00:00:29.250
Can you use more money?
12
00:00:29.250 --> 00:00:31.830
I'm sure the answer to
that question is - Yes.
13
00:00:31.830 --> 00:00:34.800
Well, how do you open
the window of Heaven so
14
00:00:34.800 --> 00:00:38.880
that God's generosity
flows into your life?
15
00:00:38.880 --> 00:00:40.860
That is what is in this series.
16
00:00:40.860 --> 00:00:44.970
And yesterday we saw that God
is generous with the generous,
17
00:00:44.970 --> 00:00:46.680
and today we're going to see
18
00:00:46.680 --> 00:00:50.700
how God blesses sacrificial giving.
19
00:00:50.700 --> 00:00:53.010
But this is 5-parts, my friends,
20
00:00:53.010 --> 00:00:55.200
it is just loaded from the beginning to the end.
21
00:00:55.200 --> 00:00:57.510
Please order yours by going online.
22
00:00:57.510 --> 00:01:00.630
This really could change
your financial life,
23
00:01:00.630 --> 00:01:03.480
and it comes with a
study guide that's filled
24
00:01:03.480 --> 00:01:06.180
with all the Greek words,
the points, the principles.
25
00:01:06.180 --> 00:01:09.690
Everything in this series
is in the study guide.
26
00:01:09.690 --> 00:01:12.510
And dear friend, I really work
hard on these study guides,
27
00:01:12.510 --> 00:01:13.860
so I want you to get both
28
00:01:13.860 --> 00:01:17.280
so you can read it while you
see it or while you hear it,
29
00:01:17.280 --> 00:01:21.810
and really get this revolution
down deep inside you.
30
00:01:21.810 --> 00:01:24.330
And right now we're offering
you my book called A
31
00:01:24.330 --> 00:01:25.860
Life a Blaze.
32
00:01:25.860 --> 00:01:28.590
Do you wanna be ablaze for Jesus to the end of your life?
33
00:01:28.590 --> 00:01:31.860
I know you do. You may remember a time when it seemed your
34
00:01:31.860 --> 00:01:33.660
fire was burning brighter.
35
00:01:33.660 --> 00:01:37.440
What happened? Well, for you
to stay on fire, you need
36
00:01:37.440 --> 00:01:41.610
to inject the correct spiritual fuels into your spirit.
37
00:01:41.610 --> 00:01:43.740
And that's what this book is about.
38
00:01:43.740 --> 00:01:47.970
The subtitle says, 10 Simple
Keys to Living On Fire
39
00:01:47.970 --> 00:01:49.800
for God, and my friends,
40
00:01:49.800 --> 00:01:54.630
this is a book that can
really set you on fire
41
00:01:54.630 --> 00:01:58.500
so that you can be 'A Life Ablaze' to the end
42
00:01:58.500 --> 00:02:00.150
of your life.
43
00:02:00.150 --> 00:02:01.470
So order yours today,
44
00:02:01.470 --> 00:02:04.230
and you can order all of
these things by going online
45
00:02:04.230 --> 00:02:06.240
or by giving us a call.
46
00:02:06.240 --> 00:02:09.120
And when you become a partner
with our ministry, we're going
47
00:02:09.120 --> 00:02:11.850
to send you my book called
Life in the Combat Zone,
48
00:02:11.850 --> 00:02:14.040
which is dedicated to partners.
49
00:02:14.040 --> 00:02:16.680
And we're going to send you
Denise's book called The Gift
50
00:02:16.680 --> 00:02:19.770
of Forgiveness because
we want every partner
51
00:02:19.770 --> 00:02:23.820
to have these books and read
these two particular books.
52
00:02:23.820 --> 00:02:26.640
And please remember that
we want to hear from you
53
00:02:26.640 --> 00:02:28.470
so we'll know how to pray for you.
54
00:02:28.470 --> 00:02:30.870
We're waiting for the
phone to ring right now.
55
00:02:30.870 --> 00:02:33.840
Just give us a ring or send us an email.
56
00:02:33.840 --> 00:02:35.220
And the moment you ring the phone
57
00:02:35.220 --> 00:02:39.150
or your email shows up in
our inbox, Denise and I
58
00:02:39.150 --> 00:02:42.720
and our team, we're gonna release our faith for Jesus Christ
59
00:02:42.720 --> 00:02:45.360
to step into your life
and do the miraculous.
60
00:02:45.360 --> 00:02:48.120
And he'll do it because he said if any two
61
00:02:48.120 --> 00:02:50.880
of you would agree is
touching anything, I'll do it.
62
00:02:50.880 --> 00:02:52.920
We'll get into agreement with you in faith
63
00:02:52.920 --> 00:02:56.970
and Jesus will do his part,
he'll move in your life.
64
00:02:56.970 --> 00:02:58.500
But if we know how to pray,
65
00:02:58.500 --> 00:03:00.550
we'll do a better job of praying for you.
66
00:03:00.550 --> 00:03:03.130
So give us a call or send us an email
67
00:03:03.130 --> 00:03:04.750
and we'll begin to pray for you.
68
00:03:04.750 --> 00:03:06.700
But I'll be back in just a moment.
69
00:03:07.540 --> 00:03:10.720
Get ready for a teaching
that feeds your spirit
70
00:03:10.720 --> 00:03:14.290
and your mind, where the
word is the anchor in
71
00:03:14.290 --> 00:03:16.240
uncertain times,
72
00:03:16.240 --> 00:03:19.570
and doctrine doesn't bend to culture.
73
00:03:19.570 --> 00:03:21.010
We keep it simple,
74
00:03:21.010 --> 00:03:25.570
but dive deep revealing a
truth that strengthens us,
75
00:03:26.440 --> 00:03:28.330
a love that emboldens
76
00:03:29.470 --> 00:03:31.600
and a mission that touches the world.
77
00:03:33.940 --> 00:03:35.500
Let's join Rick Renner.
78
00:03:37.690 --> 00:03:39.490
My friend reach for your Bible.
79
00:03:39.490 --> 00:03:41.620
And today we're gonna
return to our anchor verse,
80
00:03:41.620 --> 00:03:44.200
which is in Matthew 6:21,
81
00:03:44.200 --> 00:03:48.220
where Jesus is talking
about money and treasures.
82
00:03:48.220 --> 00:03:51.730
And he says, for where your
treasure is there will your
83
00:03:51.730 --> 00:03:53.170
heart be
84
00:03:53.170 --> 00:03:56.710
also. That verse may seem very simplistic,
85
00:03:56.710 --> 00:03:58.900
but really it says it all.
86
00:03:58.900 --> 00:04:01.570
Jesus says where your treasure is,
87
00:04:01.570 --> 00:04:03.790
and the word, where, in Greek means - exactly
88
00:04:03.790 --> 00:04:07.570
where - in the very place where your treasure is.
89
00:04:07.570 --> 00:04:08.680
And the word, treasure,
90
00:04:08.680 --> 00:04:11.200
that is used here cannot be misunderstood.
91
00:04:11.200 --> 00:04:15.100
It is the Greek word, thesauros, which describes a treasure,
92
00:04:15.100 --> 00:04:18.460
money, riches, or investments.
93
00:04:18.460 --> 00:04:21.490
So Jesus said exactly where
you put your treasure,
94
00:04:21.490 --> 00:04:24.850
your money, your investments,
your resources, your cash,
95
00:04:24.850 --> 00:04:29.260
where you put it, that
is where your heart is.
96
00:04:29.260 --> 00:04:31.510
And the Greek says, eka - exactly
97
00:04:31.510 --> 00:04:34.510
there - is where your heart is also.
98
00:04:34.510 --> 00:04:38.860
And Jesus' teaching is that where you put your money reveals
99
00:04:38.860 --> 00:04:40.420
what is in your heart.
100
00:04:40.420 --> 00:04:45.040
I told you yesterday, it's possible to give without loving,
101
00:04:45.040 --> 00:04:48.790
but it is not possible
to love without giving.
102
00:04:48.790 --> 00:04:51.580
When you love somebody, you
want to give to them, you want
103
00:04:51.580 --> 00:04:53.680
to invest in them because
you believe in them.
104
00:04:53.680 --> 00:04:56.950
Your cash follows your heart
where your treasure is,
105
00:04:56.950 --> 00:05:00.100
it reveals where your heart is.
106
00:05:00.100 --> 00:05:03.790
That is a principle which Jesus taught us in Matthew
107
00:05:03.790 --> 00:05:05.230
6:21.
108
00:05:05.230 --> 00:05:07.665
I very rarely teach on this subject,
109
00:05:07.665 --> 00:05:10.540
but my friend, I feel a responsibility to communicate to you
110
00:05:10.540 --> 00:05:12.850
and to all my friends the important need
111
00:05:12.850 --> 00:05:14.950
that we be sacrificial in our giving
112
00:05:14.950 --> 00:05:16.960
and that we be generous with God
113
00:05:16.960 --> 00:05:20.140
because when we are generous
with God, God is going
114
00:05:20.140 --> 00:05:22.450
to be generous with us.
115
00:05:22.450 --> 00:05:25.330
But from the very beginning of time,
116
00:05:25.330 --> 00:05:26.770
when people determine they were going
117
00:05:26.770 --> 00:05:31.180
to bring a real sacrificial
gift to God, God made it
118
00:05:31.180 --> 00:05:32.830
so they had to put a lot of planning
119
00:05:32.830 --> 00:05:35.020
and forethought into that action.
120
00:05:35.020 --> 00:05:36.790
They couldn't just bring a gift,
121
00:05:36.790 --> 00:05:40.990
God required that they build an altar.
122
00:05:40.990 --> 00:05:43.810
Altars don't just magically appear.
123
00:05:43.810 --> 00:05:47.200
And in fact, God even
gave specifications about
124
00:05:47.200 --> 00:05:49.570
how the altar had to be built.
125
00:05:49.570 --> 00:05:52.870
Certain kinds of stones had
to be chosen, the stones had
126
00:05:52.870 --> 00:05:55.120
to be cleaned, they had to be placed
127
00:05:55.120 --> 00:05:57.170
and arranged just properly.
128
00:05:57.170 --> 00:05:59.870
The place had to be ceremonially cleansed.
129
00:05:59.870 --> 00:06:02.750
Then they had to gather the wood to put on top of the altar.
130
00:06:02.750 --> 00:06:05.900
And finally, when it was time
to offer a burnt offering,
131
00:06:05.900 --> 00:06:09.170
they had to bring to the
Lord the very best animal
132
00:06:09.170 --> 00:06:11.870
among the flock, which
means they had to go
133
00:06:11.870 --> 00:06:14.990
through the entire flock
to look for that animal
134
00:06:14.990 --> 00:06:16.430
that was without defect
135
00:06:16.430 --> 00:06:20.540
and was the best animal
from all of the animals.
136
00:06:20.540 --> 00:06:24.230
And my point is, friends, this
was not a random thing to do
137
00:06:24.230 --> 00:06:27.800
or a last moment thing to
do or a haphazard decision.
138
00:06:27.800 --> 00:06:31.850
A lot of planning, a lot of
forethought went into this
139
00:06:31.850 --> 00:06:35.300
and sometimes it took
weeks, it took months.
140
00:06:35.300 --> 00:06:38.450
Sometimes it even took a year to get ready
141
00:06:38.450 --> 00:06:42.260
to bring a really
sacrificial offering to God.
142
00:06:42.260 --> 00:06:44.570
And that's the way God designed it,
143
00:06:44.570 --> 00:06:47.540
because God sees the
entire event as a part
144
00:06:47.540 --> 00:06:50.900
of the sacrifice: your intention, your desire,
145
00:06:50.900 --> 00:06:53.150
your preparation,
everything you have to do
146
00:06:53.150 --> 00:06:55.940
to pull the money together
to give the offering:
147
00:06:55.940 --> 00:06:57.290
all of it in addition
148
00:06:57.290 --> 00:06:59.960
to the gift itself is considered a part
149
00:06:59.960 --> 00:07:03.380
of a sacrificial gift. That's so important
150
00:07:03.380 --> 00:07:05.450
for us to understand.
151
00:07:05.450 --> 00:07:08.810
And finally, when they offer their gift,
152
00:07:08.810 --> 00:07:13.610
that was their moment to call
upon the name of the Lord
153
00:07:13.610 --> 00:07:16.340
and offer their petition.
154
00:07:16.340 --> 00:07:19.070
And as the smoke was
billowing into Heaven,
155
00:07:19.070 --> 00:07:20.690
they would stand in front of the altar
156
00:07:20.690 --> 00:07:25.310
and they would say, God, this
is what we ask you to do.
157
00:07:25.310 --> 00:07:28.790
And if they needed God to be
extra, especially generous
158
00:07:28.790 --> 00:07:33.260
with them, then they brought
a very generous offering
159
00:07:33.260 --> 00:07:35.870
because they understood from
the very beginning of time
160
00:07:35.870 --> 00:07:38.210
that God responds to what we give.
161
00:07:38.210 --> 00:07:42.860
And when we give generously,
God generously answers us.
162
00:07:42.860 --> 00:07:45.440
That is amazing. This
is the reason why Denise
163
00:07:45.440 --> 00:07:46.910
and I personally are
164
00:07:46.910 --> 00:07:49.160
so very careful in the way that we give.
165
00:07:49.160 --> 00:07:50.480
We are serious givers.
166
00:07:50.480 --> 00:07:52.160
And recently Denise
167
00:07:52.160 --> 00:07:57.160
and I gave the single largest
gift that we have ever given.
168
00:07:57.290 --> 00:08:00.950
It was so large we couldn't
do it spontaneously.
169
00:08:00.950 --> 00:08:04.490
We had to prepare; we had to figure out how to give it.
170
00:08:04.490 --> 00:08:07.730
All of it was a part of our gift: the planning,
171
00:08:07.730 --> 00:08:10.160
the thinking, the talking, the praying.
172
00:08:10.160 --> 00:08:12.470
And finally we brought the gift.
173
00:08:12.470 --> 00:08:15.560
But God saw all of it from
beginning to the end as a part
174
00:08:15.560 --> 00:08:18.290
of our sacrifice.
175
00:08:18.290 --> 00:08:21.680
And when we brought that
gift, oh, we were so excited.
176
00:08:21.680 --> 00:08:23.870
So much work and prayer went into this.
177
00:08:23.870 --> 00:08:25.580
And when we laid it
178
00:08:25.580 --> 00:08:29.060
before the Lord, that is
when we called upon the name
179
00:08:29.060 --> 00:08:33.230
of the Lord and asked him to
do certain things in our life.
180
00:08:33.230 --> 00:08:37.970
We offered our petition. We gave generously. You know why -
181
00:08:37.970 --> 00:08:41.330
because we needed a generous response.
182
00:08:41.330 --> 00:08:43.250
But when you look at the Old Testament,
183
00:08:43.250 --> 00:08:45.320
you find from the very beginning of time,
184
00:08:45.320 --> 00:08:49.190
the patriarchs built
altars at very critical
185
00:08:49.190 --> 00:08:50.660
moments in their journey.
186
00:08:50.660 --> 00:08:51.920
For example, Noah.
187
00:08:51.920 --> 00:08:55.110
Noah was the 1st in the Bible to build an altar to God.
188
00:08:55.110 --> 00:08:57.960
Did he build it? When the ark finally rested on the
189
00:08:57.960 --> 00:09:00.750
mountains of Ararat and the door opened and they walked out
190
00:09:00.750 --> 00:09:04.890
and they saw the whole
world was a big muddy mess,
191
00:09:04.890 --> 00:09:07.770
Noah said, ay, yi... I need help.
192
00:09:07.770 --> 00:09:11.610
I need divine assistance.
So what did he do?
193
00:09:11.610 --> 00:09:14.760
It was time for him to build an altar
194
00:09:14.760 --> 00:09:17.130
and to offer a sacrifice.
195
00:09:17.130 --> 00:09:21.000
And Noah probably with the
help of his sons, began
196
00:09:21.000 --> 00:09:22.170
to collect the stones,
197
00:09:22.170 --> 00:09:27.120
as God required; he began to arrange them as God required.
198
00:09:27.120 --> 00:09:30.330
Imagine all the time they
were collecting the stones,
199
00:09:30.330 --> 00:09:32.340
they were thinking about
what they were doing.
200
00:09:32.340 --> 00:09:35.550
We are preparing to make a sacrifice.
201
00:09:35.550 --> 00:09:37.800
As they were arranging the stones according
202
00:09:37.800 --> 00:09:39.480
to God's specifications
203
00:09:39.480 --> 00:09:42.180
and doing it so carefully,
they were thinking about
204
00:09:42.180 --> 00:09:43.260
what they were doing.
205
00:09:43.260 --> 00:09:45.660
They were about to make a sacrifice.
206
00:09:45.660 --> 00:09:48.330
When they gathered the wood to
put on the top of the altar,
207
00:09:48.330 --> 00:09:50.550
they were thinking about
what they were doing.
208
00:09:50.550 --> 00:09:54.000
They were preparing to bring
a sacrifice. When they went
209
00:09:54.000 --> 00:09:56.790
through the animals to
find the very best animals
210
00:09:56.790 --> 00:09:59.970
that they could offer to
God, they were thinking about
211
00:09:59.970 --> 00:10:03.600
what they were doing as they
prepared to bring a sacrifice.
212
00:10:03.600 --> 00:10:07.290
And finally, when the smoke
was billowing into the air,
213
00:10:07.290 --> 00:10:11.370
the Bible tells us that
Noah called upon the name
214
00:10:11.370 --> 00:10:14.010
of the Lord; he gave generously
215
00:10:14.010 --> 00:10:18.240
and God responded generously to Noah.
216
00:10:18.240 --> 00:10:21.750
Or how about Genesis 12, where the Bible tells us
217
00:10:21.750 --> 00:10:23.100
that Abraham with Sarah
218
00:10:23.100 --> 00:10:27.060
and Lot, came into the land of promise.
219
00:10:27.060 --> 00:10:31.350
And when they arrived,
what did they find? Giants.
220
00:10:31.350 --> 00:10:33.900
Giants were everywhere.
221
00:10:33.900 --> 00:10:37.950
And when Abraham saw all the
giants, how did he respond?
222
00:10:37.950 --> 00:10:42.950
He built an altar. Probably
with the help of Lot,
223
00:10:43.320 --> 00:10:46.440
he began to gather the stones just like Noah did.
224
00:10:46.440 --> 00:10:49.410
And with a gathering of those
stones, he was thinking about
225
00:10:49.410 --> 00:10:52.620
what he was doing, nothing
about this was accidental.
226
00:10:52.620 --> 00:10:55.080
It was all very, very intentional.
227
00:10:55.080 --> 00:10:57.510
Then according to God's
specifications, he began
228
00:10:57.510 --> 00:11:00.720
to arrange the stones
in their proper places.
229
00:11:00.720 --> 00:11:03.360
Then gathered the wood,
then began to search
230
00:11:03.360 --> 00:11:06.180
for the very best burnt
offering that he could bring.
231
00:11:06.180 --> 00:11:08.070
All of this was intentional.
232
00:11:08.070 --> 00:11:10.680
It required a lot of
thought, a lot of planning.
233
00:11:10.680 --> 00:11:14.250
And when the smoke was
billowing into the air,
234
00:11:14.250 --> 00:11:17.910
the Bible tells us in Genesis 13,
235
00:11:17.910 --> 00:11:22.650
that Abraham called upon
the name of the Lord and
236
00:11:22.650 --> 00:11:24.450
because he gave generously,
237
00:11:24.450 --> 00:11:28.170
God generously responded to Abraham.
238
00:11:28.170 --> 00:11:30.000
And it's amazing that
if you look at the story
239
00:11:30.000 --> 00:11:33.180
of Abraham, at critical junctures in his life,
240
00:11:33.180 --> 00:11:36.960
when he really feels a need
for God's generous support,
241
00:11:36.960 --> 00:11:38.610
he builds an altar
242
00:11:38.610 --> 00:11:42.150
and he offers a generous sacrifice.
243
00:11:42.150 --> 00:11:45.780
Or how about two Samuel 24,
244
00:11:45.780 --> 00:11:48.030
where we read about King David.
245
00:11:48.030 --> 00:11:51.090
God had miraculously stopped a plague
246
00:11:51.090 --> 00:11:55.120
that had killed 70,000 people;
247
00:11:55.120 --> 00:11:57.490
and David wanted to offer a sacrifice
248
00:11:57.490 --> 00:11:59.650
to the Lord in a very important spot.
249
00:11:59.650 --> 00:12:02.350
So he found a particular
piece of land where he wanted
250
00:12:02.350 --> 00:12:04.810
to build an altar and offer a sacrifice,
251
00:12:04.810 --> 00:12:07.420
but discovered that particular
piece of land was owned
252
00:12:07.420 --> 00:12:09.550
by a Jebusite.
253
00:12:09.550 --> 00:12:13.120
But when the Jebusite heard that it was David who wanted
254
00:12:13.120 --> 00:12:15.550
to buy the land, it was David who wanted
255
00:12:15.550 --> 00:12:17.050
to offer the sacrifice.
256
00:12:17.050 --> 00:12:19.780
The Jebusite was so overwhelmed that he went to David
257
00:12:19.780 --> 00:12:21.820
and said, Hey David, I'll make it easy for you.
258
00:12:21.820 --> 00:12:24.100
I'll give you the land,
I'll give you the wood,
259
00:12:24.100 --> 00:12:25.120
I'll give you the stones.
260
00:12:25.120 --> 00:12:28.960
I'll do it all, even give
you the animals to sacrifice.
261
00:12:28.960 --> 00:12:33.460
But listen to what David said in 2nd Samuel 24:
262
00:12:33.460 --> 00:12:37.030
24, neither will I offer burnt offerings unto the
263
00:12:37.030 --> 00:12:41.650
Lord, my God of that which cost me nothing.
264
00:12:41.650 --> 00:12:44.380
It was very kind of the Jebusite to offer,
265
00:12:44.380 --> 00:12:46.840
but David understood if it was easy,
266
00:12:46.840 --> 00:12:49.420
it was not a sacrifice.
267
00:12:49.420 --> 00:12:52.210
And David in essence said, I'm not going
268
00:12:52.210 --> 00:12:56.380
to bring a sacrifice that didn't cost me something.
269
00:12:56.380 --> 00:12:59.650
So we read in 2 Samuel 24:24
270
00:12:59.650 --> 00:13:03.130
and 25, David bought the threshing floor
271
00:13:03.130 --> 00:13:06.070
and he bought the oxen for 50 shekels of silver.
272
00:13:06.070 --> 00:13:09.550
And David built there an altar unto the Lord
273
00:13:09.550 --> 00:13:13.150
and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings.
274
00:13:13.150 --> 00:13:17.320
And guess what? God was so blessed by what David did that
275
00:13:17.320 --> 00:13:21.250
that piece of land eventually became the very spot
276
00:13:21.250 --> 00:13:24.640
where the temple was built in the city of Jerusalem.
277
00:13:24.640 --> 00:13:27.640
But those verses tell us something very important about the
278
00:13:27.640 --> 00:13:31.540
right proper attitude
when we bring a sacrifice.
279
00:13:31.540 --> 00:13:32.770
David said, it needs
280
00:13:32.770 --> 00:13:36.340
to cost me something. If it's a sacrifice, I need
281
00:13:36.340 --> 00:13:37.540
to give up my money.
282
00:13:37.540 --> 00:13:40.990
I need to give up my resources. I need to give of my gifts.
283
00:13:40.990 --> 00:13:45.990
But the truth is, God does not need our money.
284
00:13:46.180 --> 00:13:48.700
God does not need our resources.
285
00:13:48.700 --> 00:13:51.970
God does not need our gifts. My friends, God has it
286
00:13:51.970 --> 00:13:55.750
all: the cattle on a thousand hills belong to him.
287
00:13:55.750 --> 00:13:58.240
The streets of Heaven are paved with gold.
288
00:13:58.240 --> 00:14:00.640
Every gate to Heaven is a massive pearl,
289
00:14:00.640 --> 00:14:03.130
and Heaven is filled with precious gems.
290
00:14:03.130 --> 00:14:05.890
He doesn't need our money, he
doesn't need our resources,
291
00:14:05.890 --> 00:14:10.660
he doesn't need our gifts,
but he wants our hearts.
292
00:14:10.660 --> 00:14:14.320
And Jesus clearly said in Matthew 6:21,
293
00:14:14.320 --> 00:14:17.530
Where your treasure is, that's where your heart will be
294
00:14:17.530 --> 00:14:20.920
also. God's not after our money. He's after our heart.
295
00:14:20.920 --> 00:14:23.980
And God knows that when we put our treasure into the kingdom
296
00:14:23.980 --> 00:14:26.020
of God, our heart goes there.
297
00:14:26.020 --> 00:14:28.540
God is after our hearts.
298
00:14:28.540 --> 00:14:32.350
But scripture shows the greater the sacrifice,
299
00:14:32.350 --> 00:14:34.870
the greater the response from God.
300
00:14:34.870 --> 00:14:36.430
And I want to give you an illustration
301
00:14:36.430 --> 00:14:40.690
of this from 2 Chronicles 1:6,
302
00:14:40.690 --> 00:14:44.710
where Solomon has become the king of Israel in the stead
303
00:14:44.710 --> 00:14:48.190
of his Father, David. He is so overwhelmed
304
00:14:48.190 --> 00:14:49.810
by this responsibility
305
00:14:49.810 --> 00:14:53.000
that he knows he needs God's assistance.
306
00:14:53.000 --> 00:14:56.660
And because he watched his father give sacrifices,
307
00:14:56.660 --> 00:14:57.800
Solomon knew what to do.
308
00:14:57.800 --> 00:14:59.930
And I want to ask you,
are you teaching your
309
00:14:59.930 --> 00:15:01.520
children about giving?
310
00:15:01.520 --> 00:15:02.720
Solomon knew what to do
311
00:15:02.720 --> 00:15:05.570
because he had watched
what his father had done,
312
00:15:05.570 --> 00:15:08.870
and the Bible tells us in 2 Chronicles 1:
313
00:15:08.870 --> 00:15:11.600
6; and Solomon went up thither
314
00:15:11.600 --> 00:15:13.490 line:15%
to the brazen altar before the Lord -
315
00:15:13.490 --> 00:15:16.550
now listen to this - which was at the tabernacle
316
00:15:16.550 --> 00:15:17.930 line:15%
of the congregation - listen -
317
00:15:17.930 --> 00:15:21.590
and offered a thousand burnt
318
00:15:21.590 --> 00:15:24.290
offerings upon it.
319
00:15:24.290 --> 00:15:26.060
In a single day,
320
00:15:26.060 --> 00:15:29.780
Solomon offered a thousand burnt
321
00:15:29.780 --> 00:15:31.910
offerings to God.
322
00:15:31.910 --> 00:15:33.530
It was the biggest offering
323
00:15:33.530 --> 00:15:36.980
that had ever been
offered in history to God
324
00:15:36.980 --> 00:15:39.680
in a single day.
325
00:15:39.680 --> 00:15:44.330
But to achieve such an undertaking in a single day meant
326
00:15:44.330 --> 00:15:46.580
Solomon had to plan for weeks, possibly
327
00:15:46.580 --> 00:15:48.620
for even months in advance:
328
00:15:48.620 --> 00:15:51.650
the very best animals had to be selected
329
00:15:51.650 --> 00:15:53.210
and not just selected,
330
00:15:53.210 --> 00:15:55.340
they were selected all over the land of Israel.
331
00:15:55.340 --> 00:15:57.770
Then they had to be transported to the city of Jerusalem
332
00:15:57.770 --> 00:16:00.860
and to be held in Jerusalem,
in corrals that they had
333
00:16:00.860 --> 00:16:02.300
to build for them.
334
00:16:02.300 --> 00:16:05.120
Then all of the animals
had to be cleansed.
335
00:16:05.120 --> 00:16:07.670
All of the animals had to be killed.
336
00:16:07.670 --> 00:16:11.270
My friend to do all of this from beginning to the very end
337
00:16:11.270 --> 00:16:16.250
required thousands upon thousands of workers.
338
00:16:16.250 --> 00:16:20.510
For him to offer so many sacrifices in a single day,
339
00:16:20.510 --> 00:16:25.460
he had to invest a great deal
of thought, time and money,
340
00:16:25.460 --> 00:16:29.960
and all of it was done so he could call
341
00:16:29.960 --> 00:16:31.370
up on the name of the Lord.
342
00:16:31.370 --> 00:16:33.380
He wanted to be generous
343
00:16:33.380 --> 00:16:37.220
because he needed a generous response from God.
344
00:16:37.220 --> 00:16:41.030
And how did God respond? Well, the answer is amazingly
345
00:16:41.030 --> 00:16:44.510
in 2 Chronicles 1:7 which says,
346
00:16:44.510 --> 00:16:49.460 line:15%
And that night - the same night - God appeared to
347
00:16:49.460 --> 00:16:51.740
Solomon said to him - Ask
348
00:16:51.740 --> 00:16:55.220
for whatever you want me to give to you.
349
00:16:55.220 --> 00:16:59.690
God was so touched by Solomon's thoughtful, well planned
350
00:16:59.690 --> 00:17:03.890
and generous giving that God
wasted no time in responding.
351
00:17:03.890 --> 00:17:05.780
He showed up to Solomon that night
352
00:17:05.780 --> 00:17:06.980
and said, wow,
353
00:17:06.980 --> 00:17:10.100
nobody's ever given anything
like this to me before.
354
00:17:10.100 --> 00:17:12.590
So please just tell me what you want.
355
00:17:12.590 --> 00:17:15.470
Ask anything, and I'll do it.
356
00:17:15.470 --> 00:17:18.590
That's a pretty generous response.
357
00:17:18.590 --> 00:17:21.860
And the Bible also tells us
the fire of God came down.
358
00:17:21.860 --> 00:17:24.230
You can read that in 2 Chronicles
359
00:17:24.230 --> 00:17:25.430
7:1,
360
00:17:25.430 --> 00:17:27.860
and I'll tell you, friend,
if you want a visitation
361
00:17:27.860 --> 00:17:30.320
of God in your life,
give something generous
362
00:17:30.320 --> 00:17:33.440
because the fire of God
will come into your life.
363
00:17:33.440 --> 00:17:34.970
That's what the Bible teaches.
364
00:17:34.970 --> 00:17:39.440
But once again, Solomon
felt that deep need
365
00:17:39.440 --> 00:17:41.030
for God's assistance
366
00:17:41.030 --> 00:17:43.820
and remembering what happened
the first time when he gave a
367
00:17:43.820 --> 00:17:48.320
thousand burnt offerings,
Solomon said, Hmm, I wonder
368
00:17:48.320 --> 00:17:51.450
what would happen if I give even more.
369
00:17:51.450 --> 00:17:54.630
So the Bible tells us in 2 Chronicles
370
00:17:54.630 --> 00:17:58.020 line:15%
7:5, King Solomon - listen to this -
371
00:17:58.020 --> 00:18:00.960
offered a sacrifice of 20
372
00:18:00.960 --> 00:18:04.830 line:15%
and 2000 oxen - 22,000 oxen
373
00:18:04.830 --> 00:18:09.060
and 120,000 sheep
374
00:18:09.060 --> 00:18:11.340
in a single day:
375
00:18:11.340 --> 00:18:14.280
22,000 oxen,
376
00:18:14.280 --> 00:18:18.540
120,000 sheep: my friends, that kind
377
00:18:18.540 --> 00:18:21.720
of a gift is simply mind boggling to me.
378
00:18:21.720 --> 00:18:25.650
In fact, one day I was
having lunch with a man
379
00:18:25.650 --> 00:18:28.200
who was the owner of a big, big farm
380
00:18:28.200 --> 00:18:29.820
and he had a big, big slaughterhouse, one
381
00:18:29.820 --> 00:18:32.190
of the biggest slaughterhouses in the United States,
382
00:18:32.190 --> 00:18:35.310
and he was telling me about all the new technology they had
383
00:18:35.310 --> 00:18:37.800
so they could slaughter cattle much faster.
384
00:18:37.800 --> 00:18:39.240
And he and I came to this verse,
385
00:18:39.240 --> 00:18:41.760
and as we discussed this verse, he looked at me
386
00:18:41.760 --> 00:18:44.130
and he said, Rick, that's an amazing verse
387
00:18:44.130 --> 00:18:46.740
because even today with all the technology
388
00:18:46.740 --> 00:18:50.730
that we have in a single day,
it would be impossible for us
389
00:18:50.730 --> 00:18:55.440
to slaughter 22,000
oxen and 120,000 sheep.
390
00:18:55.440 --> 00:18:58.830
He said, for Solomon to
do that required months
391
00:18:58.830 --> 00:19:01.890
and months of planning
thousands of workers.
392
00:19:01.890 --> 00:19:05.490
It was a huge event that
had to be orchestrated.
393
00:19:05.490 --> 00:19:07.110
And my friends, God saw all
394
00:19:07.110 --> 00:19:09.690
of it from the beginning all
the way to the end as a part
395
00:19:09.690 --> 00:19:12.780
of Solomon's sacrifice -
396
00:19:12.780 --> 00:19:17.610
which means - his sacrifice was not last minute planning.
397
00:19:17.610 --> 00:19:21.240
For him to bring that kind of
generous offering to the Lord,
398
00:19:21.240 --> 00:19:23.280
required careful planning
399
00:19:23.280 --> 00:19:26.340
and an enormous amount
of time, energy, labor,
400
00:19:26.340 --> 00:19:28.140
and organization.
401
00:19:28.140 --> 00:19:33.030
And it was truly an extravagant expression of his heart.
402
00:19:33.030 --> 00:19:35.640
Jesus said, where your treasure is, that's
403
00:19:35.640 --> 00:19:37.380
where your heart is.
404
00:19:37.380 --> 00:19:38.820
And how did God respond?
405
00:19:38.820 --> 00:19:42.900
The Bible tells us: 2 Chronicles 7:12,
406
00:19:42.900 --> 00:19:47.280
and the Lord appeared to Solomon by night;
407
00:19:47.280 --> 00:19:50.310
that night, God showed up again.
408
00:19:50.310 --> 00:19:51.960
Would you like God to show up in your life
409
00:19:51.960 --> 00:19:55.920
and ask you, what would
you like me to do for you?
410
00:19:55.920 --> 00:19:59.460
Then give something sacrificial. That's what Solomon did.
411
00:19:59.460 --> 00:20:01.920
He learned the 1st time that God would show up.
412
00:20:01.920 --> 00:20:04.680
So he did it again. But the 2nd time he was even
413
00:20:04.680 --> 00:20:06.330
more generous.
414
00:20:06.330 --> 00:20:07.920
And that is why Solomon wrote
415
00:20:07.920 --> 00:20:12.270
with great conviction the words in Proverbs 3:
416
00:20:12.270 --> 00:20:15.957
9 and 10, he was speaking from
his own personal experience
417
00:20:15.957 --> 00:20:19.320
when he said - Honor the Lord with your substance
418
00:20:19.320 --> 00:20:22.290
and with the first fruits of all your increase,
419
00:20:22.290 --> 00:20:25.530
so shall your barns be filled with plenty,
420
00:20:25.530 --> 00:20:28.163
your presses will burst out with new wine.
421
00:20:28.163 --> 00:20:29.579
He was not giving
422
00:20:29.579 --> 00:20:33.330
in theory; this was a man who had been generous with God;
423
00:20:33.330 --> 00:20:36.180
he had built an altar very intentionally;
424
00:20:36.180 --> 00:20:38.610
he had offered something very sacrificial
425
00:20:38.610 --> 00:20:40.560
that really cost him something
426
00:20:40.560 --> 00:20:43.110
and God showed up as a result.
427
00:20:43.110 --> 00:20:45.990
And when he was offering his sacrifice,
428
00:20:45.990 --> 00:20:49.390
he called upon the name of the Lord
429
00:20:49.390 --> 00:20:53.080
and the Lord generously responded to him.
430
00:20:53.080 --> 00:20:54.970
That is just amazing to me.
431
00:20:54.970 --> 00:20:58.990
He knew that if he really honored God
432
00:20:58.990 --> 00:21:03.970
with his substance, God would
move mightily on his behalf.
433
00:21:03.970 --> 00:21:06.850
And in the same way, my precious friend,
434
00:21:08.230 --> 00:21:09.700
if we really love God
435
00:21:09.700 --> 00:21:12.880
and if we need God to do something special in our life,
436
00:21:12.880 --> 00:21:17.080
then maybe we need to do something sacrificial
437
00:21:17.080 --> 00:21:19.780
because a blessing comes on an extra,
438
00:21:19.780 --> 00:21:22.330
especially given, sacrificial gift.
439
00:21:22.330 --> 00:21:26.590
And when we honor God, God honors us; when we're generous
440
00:21:26.590 --> 00:21:31.450
with God, God is amazingly generous with us.
441
00:21:31.450 --> 00:21:34.180
Solomon discovered the principle
442
00:21:34.180 --> 00:21:37.060
of giving a sacrificial gift.
443
00:21:37.060 --> 00:21:38.080
But hey, there's more
444
00:21:38.080 --> 00:21:41.350
because when we come back
tomorrow, we're going to find
445
00:21:41.350 --> 00:21:43.690
that when we give with a right heart attitude,
446
00:21:43.690 --> 00:21:47.530
we - we can open the window of Heaven.
447
00:21:47.530 --> 00:21:49.810
And when the window of Heaven is open,
448
00:21:49.810 --> 00:21:54.810
God's goodness pours into our life.
449
00:21:54.820 --> 00:21:57.760
And that's what we're going
to talk about tomorrow.
450
00:21:57.760 --> 00:21:59.680
I'll be back in just a moment.
451
00:21:59.680 --> 00:22:02.830
What does the Bible really mean when it says God will open
452
00:22:02.830 --> 00:22:04.540
the windows of Heaven over the lives
453
00:22:04.540 --> 00:22:06.130
of those who are givers?
454
00:22:06.130 --> 00:22:08.650
And how do you know if the
windows of God are closed
455
00:22:08.650 --> 00:22:11.140
or open over your life?
456
00:22:11.140 --> 00:22:14.050
Rick Renner says, years
ago, I didn't understand
457
00:22:14.050 --> 00:22:17.170
how vital it was that I sowed
into the kingdom of God.
458
00:22:17.170 --> 00:22:20.890
And as a result, Denise and
I lived sad financial lives.
459
00:22:20.890 --> 00:22:23.680
But a day came when the Holy
Spirit showed me the powerful
460
00:22:23.680 --> 00:22:26.710
results that take place when
you become a regular giver.
461
00:22:26.710 --> 00:22:30.010
The day Denise and I began to
give, we discovered the key
462
00:22:30.010 --> 00:22:33.280
that opens the window of Heaven. In this series, How
463
00:22:33.280 --> 00:22:35.470

God is generous with the generous: how God responds
466
00:22:40.030 --> 00:22:42.790

Hey friends, this is Rick
Renner, and look where I am.
486
00:23:29.440 --> 00:23:33.460
I'm just outside the Tulsa headquarters building that is
487
00:23:33.460 --> 00:23:35.050
so wonderful;
488
00:23:35.050 --> 00:23:39.880
and inside this building, ministry is happening nonstop
489
00:23:39.880 --> 00:23:42.160
as people are calling and we're calling people
490
00:23:42.160 --> 00:23:45.860
and they're responding to
teaching they can trust.
491
00:23:45.860 --> 00:23:48.140
That is our prayer.
492
00:23:48.140 --> 00:23:50.630
And God has been so good to enable us
493
00:23:50.630 --> 00:23:51.860
to move into this building.
494
00:23:51.860 --> 00:23:56.060
And guess what? The Ministry Expansion Program is now
495
00:23:56.060 --> 00:23:58.820
70% complete.
496
00:23:58.820 --> 00:24:01.310
Say amen. That is such a victory.
497
00:24:01.310 --> 00:24:04.220
And this has happened in a
very short period of time,
498
00:24:04.220 --> 00:24:06.800
but we still have 30% that we need
499
00:24:06.800 --> 00:24:10.520
to retire the debt on - on this facility.
500
00:24:10.520 --> 00:24:12.620
And if you're a part of our Giving Team,
501
00:24:12.620 --> 00:24:16.010
I wanna say thank you for everything you have already done
502
00:24:16.010 --> 00:24:18.200
and please, together, let's keep it up
503
00:24:18.200 --> 00:24:20.570
because we need to retire
the debt on this building
504
00:24:20.570 --> 00:24:24.200
so we can release all those
finances to take teaching
505
00:24:24.200 --> 00:24:26.240
of the Bible to the ends of the Earth.
506
00:24:26.240 --> 00:24:28.250
And if you're not already a part
507
00:24:28.250 --> 00:24:31.310
of the Ministry Giving Team,
would you please become a part
508
00:24:31.310 --> 00:24:34.640
of the team to help us
retire the remaining 30%
509
00:24:34.640 --> 00:24:36.560
of the debt on this building?
510
00:24:36.560 --> 00:24:41.270
Wow, what a victory that will
be. We'll shout, hallelujah.
511
00:24:41.270 --> 00:24:43.490
And you'll say, hallelujah with us
512
00:24:43.490 --> 00:24:46.370
and people around the
world will be benefited
513
00:24:46.370 --> 00:24:50.540
because finally, funds will
be released redirected so
514
00:24:50.540 --> 00:24:54.380
that we can take teaching
people can trust to the ends
515
00:24:54.380 --> 00:24:55.880
of the earth.
516
00:24:55.880 --> 00:24:59.600
And that my friend is what
it's all about with us.
517
00:24:59.600 --> 00:25:03.800
We want to reach people that are crying out for the teaching
518
00:25:03.800 --> 00:25:05.180
of God's word.
519
00:25:05.180 --> 00:25:08.420
But thank you for becoming a part of the Giving Team.
520
00:25:13.040 --> 00:25:14.040
My friend.
521
00:25:14.040 --> 00:25:15.050
I've enjoyed this program today
522
00:25:15.050 --> 00:25:16.820
from the beginning to the end.
523
00:25:16.820 --> 00:25:19.910
We've been looking at the fact that God supernatural,
524
00:25:19.910 --> 00:25:22.970
blesses, sacrificial giving.
525
00:25:22.970 --> 00:25:24.230
It is amazing.
526
00:25:24.230 --> 00:25:27.290
And remember what Jesus said in Matthew 6:
527
00:25:27.290 --> 00:25:30.350
21; Where your treasure is,
528
00:25:30.350 --> 00:25:34.850
there will your heart be also. Jesus simply said,
529
00:25:34.850 --> 00:25:36.590
where you put your treasure that reveals
530
00:25:36.590 --> 00:25:38.120
where your heart is.
531
00:25:38.120 --> 00:25:42.050
And I want to remind you that
you can give without loving,
532
00:25:42.050 --> 00:25:44.570
but you cannot love without giving.
533
00:25:44.570 --> 00:25:47.420
And when you love Jesus, you
want to give for the work
534
00:25:47.420 --> 00:25:48.920
of the ministry.
535
00:25:48.920 --> 00:25:53.036
That's what Jesus said in Matthew 6:21.
536
00:25:53.036 --> 00:25:56.540
But please order my entire series which is called, How
537

540
00:26:06.140 --> 00:26:08.810

The back of the book says, How to keep your fire burning.
546
00:26:22.190 --> 00:26:25.100
Do you feel that your
embers have began to go out?
547
00:26:25.100 --> 00:26:27.140

548

00:27:03.600 --> 00:27:05.940
But Father, I thank you that you show up
563
00:27:05.940 --> 00:27:08.550
where sacrifices have been offered to you.
564
00:27:08.550 --> 00:27:11.250
Help us to give you our heart, give you our mind,
565
00:27:11.250 --> 00:27:14.070
put everything we have into what we bring to you,
566
00:27:14.070 --> 00:27:17.550
and to do it with great seriousness and great intention.
567
00:27:17.550 --> 00:27:19.950
And we ask you to respond generously
568
00:27:19.950 --> 00:27:24.150
by showing up in our life
in many remarkable ways,
569
00:27:24.150 --> 00:27:28.170
in Jesus' name - Amen. I'll see you tomorrow.
570
00:27:28.170 --> 00:27:31.480
But remember Ecclesiastes 8:4, "Where the word
571
00:27:31.480 --> 00:27:33.955
of a king is there's power.
572
00:27:33.955 --> 00:27:36.154
If you've never received
573
00:27:36.154 --> 00:27:37.230
Jesus as your Savior
574
00:27:37.230 --> 00:27:41.610
and Lord, now is the time for
you to experience a new life
575
00:27:41.610 --> 00:27:43.960
Jesus has to give you.
576
00:27:43.960 --> 00:27:47.880
Pray this prayer with me right now, Lord.
577
00:27:47.880 --> 00:27:50.970
I repent of my sin and receive you as
578
00:27:50.970 --> 00:27:54.840
my Savior and Lord. Wash away my sin
579
00:27:54.840 --> 00:27:57.840
and make me completely new.
580
00:27:57.840 --> 00:28:01.740
I thank you that my sin is removed
581
00:28:01.740 --> 00:28:06.740
and Satan no longer has any
right to lay claim on me.
582
00:28:07.200 --> 00:28:09.840
I faithfully promise that I will serve you
583
00:28:09.840 --> 00:28:12.000
as my Lord for the rest of
584
00:28:12.000 --> 00:28:13.470
my life.
585

Amen. Thank you for
