00:00:00.720 --> 00:00:03.210
This program is made
possible by the giving
2
00:00:03.210 --> 00:00:06.450
of the God called partners
of Renner Ministries.
3
00:00:07.380 --> 00:00:08.580
Welcome to today's program.
4
00:00:08.580 --> 00:00:10.170
My name is Rick Renner,
5
00:00:10.170 --> 00:00:12.660
and dear friend, I have
been waiting for you
6
00:00:12.660 --> 00:00:14.700
and today we're gonna continue our series,
7
00:00:14.700 --> 00:00:17.190
which is called How to Open the Window
8
00:00:17.190 --> 00:00:19.230
of Heaven Over Your Life:
9
00:00:19.230 --> 00:00:22.405
What the Bible really says about Giving.
10
00:00:22.405 --> 00:00:23.863
This series comes in
11
00:00:23.863 --> 00:00:24.960
different formats.
12
00:00:24.960 --> 00:00:26.340
It comes in 5 parts
13
00:00:26.340 --> 00:00:28.800
and it comes with a wonderful study guide
14
00:00:28.800 --> 00:00:32.490
and my friends, you need to
know how to open the window
15
00:00:32.490 --> 00:00:34.740
of heaven over your life,
16
00:00:34.740 --> 00:00:37.710
and that's what this series is about.
17
00:00:37.710 --> 00:00:40.380
And right now we're also offering you my book
18
00:00:40.380 --> 00:00:43.050
which is called, A Life Ablaze.
19
00:00:43.050 --> 00:00:47.760
The subtitle says - 10 Simple Keys to Living on Fire
20
00:00:47.760 --> 00:00:49.080
for God.
21
00:00:49.080 --> 00:00:50.820
So many people begin on fire,
22
00:00:50.820 --> 00:00:53.430
but they seem to lose
the fire along the way.
23
00:00:53.430 --> 00:00:54.930
What can you do
24
00:00:54.930 --> 00:00:58.170
to make sure you remain A Life Ablaze all the way
25
00:00:58.170 --> 00:00:59.640
to the end of your life -
26
00:00:59.640 --> 00:01:02.460
that's what this very practical book is about.
27
00:01:02.460 --> 00:01:04.590
It's about the 10 fuels that you need
28
00:01:04.590 --> 00:01:06.840
to be injecting into your fire
29
00:01:06.840 --> 00:01:09.900
so you remain 'A Life Ablaze'.
30
00:01:09.900 --> 00:01:13.650
Order yours today by going
online or by giving us a call.
31
00:01:13.650 --> 00:01:16.140
And remember that when you become a partner
32
00:01:16.140 --> 00:01:18.960
with our ministry, we're going to send you two books
33
00:01:18.960 --> 00:01:21.870
as our way of saying, Welcome to our Partner Family.
34
00:01:21.870 --> 00:01:25.260
My book called, Life in the Combat Zone, which is dedicated
35
00:01:25.260 --> 00:01:26.640
to our partners.
36
00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:29.520
And we're going to send you Denise's book called, The Gift
37
00:01:29.520 --> 00:01:30.720
of Forgiveness.
38
00:01:30.720 --> 00:01:33.660
And if you're already a partner, I wanna say "thank you".
39
00:01:33.660 --> 00:01:35.490
And if you're becoming a partner today,
40
00:01:35.490 --> 00:01:37.350
I say Welcome to the family.
41
00:01:37.350 --> 00:01:41.340
And hey, if you have any prayer need on your heart right
42
00:01:41.340 --> 00:01:43.710
now, something that you're
facing that seems pressing
43
00:01:43.710 --> 00:01:47.580
or something that's weighing
you down, give us a call
44
00:01:47.580 --> 00:01:50.550
or send us an email because we
would love to pray with you.
45
00:01:50.550 --> 00:01:52.560
And the moment the phone rings
46
00:01:52.560 --> 00:01:55.890
or the moment your email shows
up in our inbox, we're going
47
00:01:55.890 --> 00:01:57.960
to release our faith for Jesus
48
00:01:57.960 --> 00:02:02.160
to do something
magnificent on your behalf.
49
00:02:02.160 --> 00:02:04.710
So let us know how to pray for you,
50
00:02:04.710 --> 00:02:06.900
but I'll be back in just a moment.
51
00:02:07.860 --> 00:02:11.040
Get ready for a teaching that feeds your spirit
52
00:02:11.040 --> 00:02:15.210
and your mind - where the word is the anchor in uncertain
53
00:02:15.210 --> 00:02:19.890
times and doctrine doesn't bend to culture.
54
00:02:19.890 --> 00:02:21.330
We keep it simple,
55
00:02:21.330 --> 00:02:25.560
but dive deep revealing a
truth that strengthens us,
56
00:02:26.760 --> 00:02:28.650
a love that emboldens
57
00:02:29.790 --> 00:02:31.950
and a mission that touches the world.
58
00:02:34.290 --> 00:02:35.790
Let's join Rick Renner.
59
00:02:38.310 --> 00:02:40.440
Reach for your Bible, and today we're going to go
60
00:02:40.440 --> 00:02:43.140
to Malachi 1.
61
00:02:43.140 --> 00:02:45.210
But I want us to begin with our anchor verse,
62
00:02:45.210 --> 00:02:48.300
which is in Matthew 6:21,
63
00:02:48.300 --> 00:02:51.990
where Jesus remarkably said, For where your treasure is,
64
00:02:51.990 --> 00:02:54.720
there will your heart be also.
65
00:02:54.720 --> 00:02:58.380
And the word, where, in Greek means exactly there
66
00:02:58.380 --> 00:02:59.920
where your treasure is.
67
00:02:59.920 --> 00:03:02.230
The word, treasure, is the Greek word
68
00:03:02.230 --> 00:03:06.010
thesauros: it describes a treasure, money, riches,
69
00:03:06.010 --> 00:03:08.320
investments, resources.
70
00:03:08.320 --> 00:03:11.230
So Jesus says, where the
cash is, where your money is,
71
00:03:11.230 --> 00:03:15.640
where you put your resources,
there will be your heart
72
00:03:15.640 --> 00:03:18.100 line:15%
also. And the word, there, in Greek is the word ekei:
73
00:03:18.100 --> 00:03:20.500
it means exactly there.
74
00:03:20.500 --> 00:03:22.690
And in this verse, Jesus teaches
75
00:03:22.690 --> 00:03:25.570
that money really reveals our heart.
76
00:03:25.570 --> 00:03:27.610
If you want to know where your heart is,
77
00:03:27.610 --> 00:03:29.590
just follow your money.
78
00:03:29.590 --> 00:03:31.720
If you want to know where
the heart of anybody is,
79
00:03:31.720 --> 00:03:33.190
follow their money
80
00:03:33.190 --> 00:03:35.650
because money tells the truth.
81
00:03:35.650 --> 00:03:38.920
One man said, you can give without loving,
82
00:03:38.920 --> 00:03:41.770
but you cannot love without giving.
83
00:03:41.770 --> 00:03:44.110
And it's the truth. And when you love
84
00:03:44.110 --> 00:03:45.640
someone, you invest in them.
85
00:03:45.640 --> 00:03:47.260
When you love the kingdom of God,
86
00:03:47.260 --> 00:03:49.090
you invest in the kingdom of God.
87
00:03:49.090 --> 00:03:52.180
And that's what Jesus now says in this verse; for
88
00:03:52.180 --> 00:03:53.500
where your treasure is -
89
00:03:53.500 --> 00:03:58.480
that's the great revealer - there will your heart be also.
90
00:03:58.480 --> 00:04:02.290
But one of the most important texts about giving is found in
91
00:04:02.290 --> 00:04:04.030
Malachi 1.
92
00:04:04.030 --> 00:04:05.080
So let's go there
93
00:04:05.080 --> 00:04:07.450
and we're going to begin in verses 7 and 8.
94
00:04:07.450 --> 00:04:11.050
And in these verses we find that God is listening
95
00:04:11.050 --> 00:04:12.250
to his people.
96
00:04:12.250 --> 00:04:15.070
He hears what we say to
one another, he even hears
97
00:04:15.070 --> 00:04:16.990
what we privately think.
98
00:04:16.990 --> 00:04:20.290
And when you come to these verses, God quotes
99
00:04:20.290 --> 00:04:24.100
what he has heard his people saying; listen to what it says
100
00:04:24.100 --> 00:04:29.100
Malachi 1:7-8; You offer polluted bread upon my altar.
101
00:04:29.710 --> 00:04:33.340
And you say, wherein have we polluted thee in
102
00:04:33.340 --> 00:04:36.400
that you say the table of the Lord is contemptible.
103
00:04:36.400 --> 00:04:39.760
What does that mean? They were saying - Ugh, we're so tired
104
00:04:39.760 --> 00:04:42.100
of giving and we're so tired
105
00:04:42.100 --> 00:04:44.620
of hearing about giving, giving, giving.
106
00:04:44.620 --> 00:04:47.980
Ugh, the table of the Lord, It is such a drudgery.
107
00:04:47.980 --> 00:04:51.970
We're so tired of this. They
were calling it contemptible.
108
00:04:51.970 --> 00:04:54.340
And it goes on to say -
109
00:04:54.340 --> 00:04:58.840
and if you offer the blind for sacrifice, is it not evil?
110
00:04:58.840 --> 00:05:03.190
And if you offer the lame and the sick, is it not evil?
111
00:05:03.190 --> 00:05:06.850 line:15%
Offer it now unto thy governor; will he be pleased with thee
112
00:05:06.850 --> 00:05:09.790
or accept thy person saith the Lord of hosts?
113
00:05:09.790 --> 00:05:12.520
Or I would paraphrase it like this;
114
00:05:12.520 --> 00:05:15.220
Your offerings are a stench to me
115
00:05:15.220 --> 00:05:18.400
because of the attitude you have when you offer them.
116
00:05:18.400 --> 00:05:21.700
In fact, by offering your sacrifice with such resentment,
117
00:05:21.700 --> 00:05:23.740
you've contaminated my altar,
118
00:05:23.740 --> 00:05:27.760
you're giving me defective rejects: the blind, the lame,
119
00:05:27.760 --> 00:05:31.390
the sick animals, when you
could be bringing me the best;
120
00:05:31.390 --> 00:05:33.400
try to offer that to your governor
121
00:05:33.400 --> 00:05:35.530
and see if he'll be pleased with you.
122
00:05:35.530 --> 00:05:39.670
And yet that is what you're offering me.
123
00:05:39.670 --> 00:05:42.400
The Israelites were
offering God their leftovers
124
00:05:42.400 --> 00:05:43.840
that they didn't want.
125
00:05:43.840 --> 00:05:45.970
These were not real sacrifices.
126
00:05:45.970 --> 00:05:48.550
They were just cleaning their inventory.
127
00:05:48.550 --> 00:05:51.280
They were not bringing God the very best.
128
00:05:51.280 --> 00:05:54.700
These sacrifices cost them nothing
129
00:05:54.700 --> 00:05:57.890
and God knew that. God did need their animals,
130
00:05:57.890 --> 00:05:59.630
but God wanted their hearts
131
00:05:59.630 --> 00:06:02.150
and the way that they were
bringing their gifts revealed
132
00:06:02.150 --> 00:06:05.720
that their hearts were not right when it came to the subject
133
00:06:05.720 --> 00:06:06.800
of giving.
134
00:06:06.800 --> 00:06:10.220
And in Malachi 1:10, God rebuked them
135
00:06:10.220 --> 00:06:12.920
and he said - Who is there among you
136
00:06:12.920 --> 00:06:15.380
that would shut the doors for nought?
137
00:06:15.380 --> 00:06:18.020
Neither do you kindle fire
upon mine altar for nought.
138
00:06:18.020 --> 00:06:20.780
I have no pleasure upon
you, says the Lord of hosts,
139
00:06:20.780 --> 00:06:24.650
neither will I accept an
offering from your hand:
140
00:06:24.650 --> 00:06:27.170
or I would paraphrase it like this - Shut the door
141
00:06:27.170 --> 00:06:29.000
to my house and stop coming.
142
00:06:29.000 --> 00:06:30.830
If this is the way you're going to come.
143
00:06:30.830 --> 00:06:33.500
And if you're going to come with this kind of an attitude,
144
00:06:33.500 --> 00:06:35.150
please stay at home.
145
00:06:35.150 --> 00:06:37.730
I will not accept what you're bringing me
146
00:06:37.730 --> 00:06:40.400
because your heart is not right.
147
00:06:40.400 --> 00:06:44.060
The truth is God did not
need anything from them.
148
00:06:44.060 --> 00:06:47.120
The cattle on a thousand
hills belong to the Lord.
149
00:06:47.120 --> 00:06:49.100
The streets of heaven
are made out of gold.
150
00:06:49.100 --> 00:06:51.170
The gates of heaven
are made out of pearls.
151
00:06:51.170 --> 00:06:53.150
Heaven is filled with precious gems.
152
00:06:53.150 --> 00:06:55.400
What need does God have?
153
00:06:55.400 --> 00:06:58.700
He was not after their
resources or their treasure,
154
00:06:58.700 --> 00:07:00.290
but he was after their heart.
155
00:07:00.290 --> 00:07:03.470
And Jesus said in Matthew 6:21,
156
00:07:03.470 --> 00:07:07.460
Where your treasure is there will your heart be also?
157
00:07:07.460 --> 00:07:10.490
And by bringing inferior gifts,
158
00:07:10.490 --> 00:07:13.550
really just cleaning their inventory, bringing God
159
00:07:13.550 --> 00:07:16.940
what they didn't really want at home, they were revealing
160
00:07:16.940 --> 00:07:18.950
they had defective hearts.
161
00:07:18.950 --> 00:07:22.460
And when you come to Malachi 1:12, it says,
162
00:07:22.460 --> 00:07:25.550
But you have profaned it in that you say the table of
163
00:07:25.550 --> 00:07:26.750
the Lord is polluted
164
00:07:26.750 --> 00:07:29.900
and the fruit thereof, even
as meat is contemptible,
165
00:07:29.900 --> 00:07:31.370
which means they were just tired
166
00:07:31.370 --> 00:07:33.470
of bringing offerings to the Lord.
167
00:07:33.470 --> 00:07:37.160 line:15%
And in verse 13, Ye said also, Behold,
168
00:07:37.160 --> 00:07:38.780
what a weariness it is.
169
00:07:38.780 --> 00:07:42.230 line:15%
We're so tired of this. You've snuffed at it saith the Lord
170
00:07:42.230 --> 00:07:45.710
of hosts, and you've brought that which was torn
171
00:07:45.710 --> 00:07:47.690
and the lame and the sick.
172
00:07:47.690 --> 00:07:49.730
Thus you brought an offering.
173
00:07:49.730 --> 00:07:53.420
Should I accept this from
your hand, saith the Lord.
174
00:07:53.420 --> 00:07:54.740
It was the equivalent of saying,
175
00:07:54.740 --> 00:07:58.280
you are calling this an offering.
176
00:07:58.280 --> 00:08:01.490
These were very strong words from God
177
00:08:01.490 --> 00:08:05.180
because it was responding to
a heart that was defective.
178
00:08:05.180 --> 00:08:07.010
It wasn't just a defective gift,
179
00:08:07.010 --> 00:08:10.580
the gift revealed the condition of their heart.
180
00:08:10.580 --> 00:08:12.920
So when you come to Malachi 3:7-
181
00:08:12.920 --> 00:08:15.530
8, God tells them how to fix it.
182
00:08:15.530 --> 00:08:18.650
And he says, Even from the days of your fathers,
183
00:08:18.650 --> 00:08:21.740
you're gone away from my ordinances and have not kept them.
184
00:08:21.740 --> 00:08:24.410
Now listen to this - Return unto me
185
00:08:24.410 --> 00:08:27.470
and I will return unto you.
186
00:08:27.470 --> 00:08:30.590
And here we find a principle of scripture that when we begin
187
00:08:30.590 --> 00:08:34.250
to move toward God, God begins to move toward us.
188
00:08:34.250 --> 00:08:37.400
We find the same principle in James 4:
189
00:08:37.400 --> 00:08:40.610
8, where James writes - Draw nigh to God
190
00:08:40.610 --> 00:08:42.410
and God will draw a nigh to you,
191
00:08:42.410 --> 00:08:44.810
but God is waiting for you to begin.
192
00:08:44.810 --> 00:08:48.020
And here we read that if we
will come near to the Lord,
193
00:08:48.020 --> 00:08:49.580
the Lord will come to us.
194
00:08:49.580 --> 00:08:52.520
Or Malachi 3 says - Return unto me
195
00:08:52.520 --> 00:08:56.670
and I will return unto you saith the Lord of hosts.
196
00:08:56.670 --> 00:09:00.000
But they were asking wherein shall we return?
197
00:09:00.000 --> 00:09:02.250
How do we make it right?
198
00:09:02.250 --> 00:09:04.860
And God answers, Will a man rob God?
199
00:09:04.860 --> 00:09:06.630
But you've robbed me
200
00:09:06.630 --> 00:09:08.820
that you say wherein have we robbed thee?
201
00:09:08.820 --> 00:09:13.260
And God answers - in tithes and in offerings?
202
00:09:13.260 --> 00:09:15.390
I remember when Denise
and I first got married
203
00:09:15.390 --> 00:09:17.670
and I had no faith for finances
204
00:09:17.670 --> 00:09:21.750
and I wasn't being obedient
in the tithe or in my giving.
205
00:09:21.750 --> 00:09:24.690
When the pastor would read
this verse, I hated it
206
00:09:24.690 --> 00:09:28.200
because I knew that I was robbing God.
207
00:09:28.200 --> 00:09:30.630
And Denise would even say to me - Rick, are we tithing?
208
00:09:30.630 --> 00:09:33.270
Are we giving? And I knew we weren't
209
00:09:33.270 --> 00:09:34.740
that I didn't want to tell her that.
210
00:09:34.740 --> 00:09:37.140
So I would deflect by saying,
211
00:09:37.140 --> 00:09:40.410
how could you even ask me such a question?
212
00:09:40.410 --> 00:09:43.080
But the truth is we were not tithing
213
00:09:43.080 --> 00:09:45.750
because I didn't have a
revelation about giving.
214
00:09:45.750 --> 00:09:49.440
And as a result, we were
cursed in our lives.
215
00:09:49.440 --> 00:09:51.240
God didn't curse us.
216
00:09:51.240 --> 00:09:54.750
I put a self-imposed curse on our life
217
00:09:54.750 --> 00:09:58.560
because by not giving, I
removed myself from the realm
218
00:09:58.560 --> 00:10:00.360
where God could bless me.
219
00:10:00.360 --> 00:10:04.470
And that's what we read as
we continue in this text.
220
00:10:04.470 --> 00:10:07.770
It says in chapter 3:9 - You're cursed
221
00:10:07.770 --> 00:10:12.390
with a cursed for you robbed
me, even the whole nation.
222
00:10:12.390 --> 00:10:15.690
And in this verse we
find that when we take
223
00:10:15.690 --> 00:10:17.190
what we should be giving to God
224
00:10:17.190 --> 00:10:19.290
and we use it on something else,
225
00:10:19.290 --> 00:10:24.290
we remove ourselves from a
place of financial blessing.
226
00:10:24.390 --> 00:10:28.170
The verse never says God curses.
227
00:10:28.170 --> 00:10:30.300
It does not say that.
228
00:10:30.300 --> 00:10:33.720
But it says, by refusing
to obey God's principles,
229
00:10:33.720 --> 00:10:37.260
we remove ourself from
the place of blessing that
230
00:10:37.260 --> 00:10:39.900
otherwise could be ours.
231
00:10:39.900 --> 00:10:42.360
It's the principle of sowing and reaping.
232
00:10:42.360 --> 00:10:46.530
Whatever a man sows, that's shall he also reap.
233
00:10:46.530 --> 00:10:48.270
It is the equivalent of saying if you put
234
00:10:48.270 --> 00:10:49.680
in, you're going to get out.
235
00:10:49.680 --> 00:10:52.470
But what about a farmer
who never puts any seed
236
00:10:52.470 --> 00:10:54.060
into the soil?
237
00:10:54.060 --> 00:10:56.910
Eventually nothing's going
to be produced by the soil
238
00:10:56.910 --> 00:10:58.710
and he's going to be cursed
239
00:10:58.710 --> 00:11:01.050
because of his lack of investment.
240
00:11:01.050 --> 00:11:02.490
And in the very same way,
241
00:11:02.490 --> 00:11:05.970
when you do not release your
finances into the kingdom
242
00:11:05.970 --> 00:11:09.210
of God, a day is going to come
when you are going to run out
243
00:11:09.210 --> 00:11:11.490
of finances, you're going to be cursed.
244
00:11:11.490 --> 00:11:14.040
And it's not because
God has cursed you, it's
245
00:11:14.040 --> 00:11:16.980
because you've not
participated with the law
246
00:11:16.980 --> 00:11:18.360
of sowing and reaping.
247
00:11:18.360 --> 00:11:21.480
If you want to reap you have to sow. Whatsoever
248
00:11:21.480 --> 00:11:23.670
a man sows that shall he also reap.
249
00:11:23.670 --> 00:11:27.030
If you're not sowing, then you're not going to have anything
250
00:11:27.030 --> 00:11:29.640
to reap and you're going to be cursed.
251
00:11:29.640 --> 00:11:32.400
And of course, this is what exactly happened to me
252
00:11:32.400 --> 00:11:34.380
and Denise in the early days
253
00:11:34.380 --> 00:11:36.360
of our ministry; we were cursed.
254
00:11:36.360 --> 00:11:38.250
And my friend, when I
tell you we were cursed,
255
00:11:38.250 --> 00:11:40.770
I mean we were living at such a low level;
256
00:11:40.770 --> 00:11:41.880
if you had seen Rick
257
00:11:41.880 --> 00:11:43.620
and Denise Renner back in those days,
258
00:11:43.620 --> 00:11:46.440
you would have been amazed that it was us.
259
00:11:46.440 --> 00:11:48.630
And not only were we cursed,
260
00:11:48.630 --> 00:11:50.850
we had friends that were cursed.
261
00:11:50.850 --> 00:11:53.500
None of us had a revelation about giving.
262
00:11:53.500 --> 00:11:56.950
One week I ran out of gas five times
263
00:11:56.950 --> 00:12:00.280
because I only had enough money to put $1
264
00:12:00.280 --> 00:12:03.040
of gas into the tank at a time.
265
00:12:03.040 --> 00:12:06.100
I cannot begin to tell
you how humiliated I was
266
00:12:06.100 --> 00:12:10.240
to call somebody five times
from a payphone because it was
267
00:12:10.240 --> 00:12:12.190
before the day of mobile phones to say,
268
00:12:12.190 --> 00:12:14.080
can you please have mercy on me
269
00:12:14.080 --> 00:12:16.390
and bring some gas to put in my tank?
270
00:12:16.390 --> 00:12:19.390
Five times in one week: Denise
271
00:12:19.390 --> 00:12:22.060
and I were just living low level lives.
272
00:12:22.060 --> 00:12:27.060
We were cursed. And the
reason was I was not giving.
273
00:12:27.070 --> 00:12:31.660
And a self-imposed curse came
upon me just like this verse
274
00:12:31.660 --> 00:12:34.240
says, and my friend, God doesn't want any
275
00:12:34.240 --> 00:12:35.770
of his people to be cursed.
276
00:12:35.770 --> 00:12:37.360
And I would advise you
277
00:12:37.360 --> 00:12:39.460
that if you're struggling
in your finances,
278
00:12:39.460 --> 00:12:42.640
before you deal with the devil
first, look at your giving
279
00:12:42.640 --> 00:12:45.760
and ask, am I giving as
I'm supposed to give?
280
00:12:45.760 --> 00:12:47.380
Am I currently having a deficit
281
00:12:47.380 --> 00:12:49.420
because I haven't been sowing?
282
00:12:49.420 --> 00:12:50.920
You need to fix that first.
283
00:12:50.920 --> 00:12:53.320
Then if you realize I've been sowing
284
00:12:53.320 --> 00:12:56.560
and I'm still having a
problem, then you need to deal
285
00:12:56.560 --> 00:13:00.010
with a devil because my friends, you have the authority
286
00:13:00.010 --> 00:13:03.010
to tell the devil to move off of your finances.
287
00:13:03.010 --> 00:13:06.610
But when you come to Malachi 3:10,
288
00:13:06.610 --> 00:13:11.140
God says - Bring you all the tithes into the storehouse
289
00:13:11.140 --> 00:13:12.850
that there may be meat in my house -
290
00:13:12.850 --> 00:13:15.490
now listen to this - and prove me now here
291
00:13:15.490 --> 00:13:17.350
with says the Lord of hosts.
292
00:13:17.350 --> 00:13:20.410
Give me a chance to show you what I'll do.
293
00:13:20.410 --> 00:13:25.410
And then he says - If I will not open the windows of heaven
294
00:13:25.870 --> 00:13:28.240
and pour you out a blessing
295
00:13:28.240 --> 00:13:30.910
that there shall not be
room enough to receive it.
296
00:13:30.910 --> 00:13:33.160
That's what God wants to do.
297
00:13:33.160 --> 00:13:34.990
He's not trying to get something from you
298
00:13:34.990 --> 00:13:37.090
he's trying to get something to you and my friend,
299
00:13:37.090 --> 00:13:40.210
what God wants to get to you is abundant.
300
00:13:40.210 --> 00:13:41.890
You can't even measure it.
301
00:13:41.890 --> 00:13:44.500
The verse says, he will pour out blessing
302
00:13:44.500 --> 00:13:47.590
so big there will not even
be room to receive it.
303
00:13:47.590 --> 00:13:50.920
That is God's desire for you.
304
00:13:50.920 --> 00:13:55.840
But notice this verse says - If I will not open you,
305
00:13:55.840 --> 00:14:00.400
the windows of heaven: the windows
306
00:14:00.400 --> 00:14:05.110
of heaven. What is the windows of heaven?
307
00:14:05.110 --> 00:14:07.660
Well, when you read the Old Testament, you find
308
00:14:07.660 --> 00:14:12.310
that the window of heaven appears 3-times in scripture.
309
00:14:12.310 --> 00:14:13.510
And to understand
310
00:14:13.510 --> 00:14:16.270
what God is describing in Malachi 3:
311
00:14:16.270 --> 00:14:18.100
10, you have to go back
312
00:14:18.100 --> 00:14:20.980
and look at these other examples
of the window of heaven.
313
00:14:20.980 --> 00:14:22.600
And the first time the window
314
00:14:22.600 --> 00:14:26.170
of heaven shows up in the Bible is in Genesis
315
00:14:26.170 --> 00:14:27.520
7:11.
316
00:14:27.520 --> 00:14:30.820
Then it appears in Psalm 78:23.
317
00:14:30.820 --> 00:14:33.700
And finally here in Malachi 3:
318
00:14:33.700 --> 00:14:36.100
10: get ready for our revelation
319
00:14:36.100 --> 00:14:37.510
because you're about to find out
320
00:14:37.510 --> 00:14:40.060
what happens when the
window of heaven opens.
321
00:14:40.060 --> 00:14:42.040
But let's look at the first mention,
322
00:14:42.040 --> 00:14:45.820
which is in Genesis 7:11,
323
00:14:45.820 --> 00:14:50.530
and the Bible says, In the 600th year of Noah's life,
324
00:14:50.530 --> 00:14:54.290
in the 2nd month, the 17th day of the month, the same day
325
00:14:54.290 --> 00:14:57.350
where all the fountains of
the deep broken up and listen
326
00:14:57.350 --> 00:15:01.250
and the windows of heaven were opened.
327
00:15:01.250 --> 00:15:04.130
That is the 1st mention of the windows
328
00:15:04.130 --> 00:15:05.450
of heaven in scripture.
329
00:15:05.450 --> 00:15:10.220
And when the windows of
heaven opened, what happened?
330
00:15:10.220 --> 00:15:11.630
We know what happened because
331
00:15:11.630 --> 00:15:14.360
of Genesis 7:19:
332
00:15:14.360 --> 00:15:17.630
And the waters prevailed exceedingly upon the earth
333
00:15:17.630 --> 00:15:19.190
and all the high hills
334
00:15:19.190 --> 00:15:22.520
that were under the whole
heaven were covered.
335
00:15:22.520 --> 00:15:26.000
So much rain came pouring through
336
00:15:26.000 --> 00:15:29.690
that open window that the earth was flooded,
337
00:15:29.690 --> 00:15:32.270
even the highest hills were covered.
338
00:15:32.270 --> 00:15:37.270
Rain poured and poured and
poured and poured and poured.
339
00:15:37.310 --> 00:15:41.510
So the first time the windows
of heaven opens in scripture,
340
00:15:41.510 --> 00:15:45.080
something abundant comes pouring through it.
341
00:15:45.080 --> 00:15:49.160
Wow! It was miraculous the level of abundance
342
00:15:49.160 --> 00:15:51.800
that came pouring through that open window.
343
00:15:51.800 --> 00:15:55.790
But the 2nd time this open window appears in scripture
344
00:15:55.790 --> 00:15:56.900
was when the children
345
00:15:56.900 --> 00:15:59.360
of Israel were wandering in the wilderness
346
00:15:59.360 --> 00:16:00.890
and for two months they'd been
347
00:16:00.890 --> 00:16:02.420
walking through the wilderness.
348
00:16:02.420 --> 00:16:04.430
Now their food supplies were running low
349
00:16:04.430 --> 00:16:05.840
and they were complaining
350
00:16:05.840 --> 00:16:08.600
and they were murmuring about their situation.
351
00:16:08.600 --> 00:16:13.600
And in Exodus 16:4, God said, behold,
352
00:16:13.640 --> 00:16:17.060
I will rain bread from heaven for you.
353
00:16:17.060 --> 00:16:18.860
And manna begin to come.
354
00:16:18.860 --> 00:16:22.130
And manna didn't just come, it amply came.
355
00:16:22.130 --> 00:16:26.090
And in fact, when you read Psalm 78:
356
00:16:26.090 --> 00:16:29.360
23 to 25, it says,
357
00:16:29.360 --> 00:16:33.380
God opened the doors or the window of heaven.
358
00:16:33.380 --> 00:16:36.740
There it is again. It's a door, it's a window.
359
00:16:36.740 --> 00:16:40.490
It is a heavenly portal.
And God opened it.
360
00:16:40.490 --> 00:16:44.060
And when God opened the windows of heaven, what happened?
361
00:16:44.060 --> 00:16:47.720
The Bible says - and rained down manna upon them
362
00:16:47.720 --> 00:16:51.710
to eat and man did eat angels food.
363
00:16:51.710 --> 00:16:55.160
So the psalmist tells us in verse 23, the window
364
00:16:55.160 --> 00:16:59.060
of heaven was opened and the result is recorded
365
00:16:59.060 --> 00:17:03.470
in verse 24 - When it was open, the manna began to rain
366
00:17:03.470 --> 00:17:06.050
and rain and rain and rain
367
00:17:06.050 --> 00:17:11.050
and rain down up on them just
like when the window opened
368
00:17:11.150 --> 00:17:14.120
in Genesis 7, and rain poured and poured
369
00:17:14.120 --> 00:17:15.650
and poured through that open window.
370
00:17:15.650 --> 00:17:19.280
Now the window was open, and
this time manna is pouring
371
00:17:19.280 --> 00:17:20.570
and pouring and pouring
372
00:17:20.570 --> 00:17:24.110
and pouring so much manna
they did not have room
373
00:17:24.110 --> 00:17:25.940
to receive it.
374
00:17:25.940 --> 00:17:27.620
Isn't that remarkable?
375
00:17:27.620 --> 00:17:30.650
Now, when the manna first fell,
376
00:17:30.650 --> 00:17:33.920
it fell when the window
opened, then it began to fall
377
00:17:33.920 --> 00:17:35.450
and fall and fall and fall and fall.
378
00:17:35.450 --> 00:17:39.440
How much manna fell
through that open window?
379
00:17:39.440 --> 00:17:43.160
Well, rabbinical literature says -
380
00:17:43.160 --> 00:17:46.640
Manna fell in such abundance every day
381
00:17:46.640 --> 00:17:51.570
that it spread out over more
than 2000 cubits with a depth
382
00:17:51.570 --> 00:17:53.430
of 50 to 60 cubits.
383
00:17:53.430 --> 00:17:54.750
Let me tell you what that means.
384
00:17:54.750 --> 00:17:57.540
If that is the case, as the rabbis say,
385
00:17:57.540 --> 00:18:01.680
it means a single day's supply of manna -
386
00:18:01.680 --> 00:18:06.680
a single day's supply of manna - would have been enough
387
00:18:06.780 --> 00:18:08.250
to feed the children of Israel
388
00:18:08.250 --> 00:18:11.970
for 2000 years.
389
00:18:13.260 --> 00:18:14.940
Now, maybe that explains the phrase
390
00:18:14.940 --> 00:18:19.380
that you will not have room
to receive it; in one day,
391
00:18:19.380 --> 00:18:20.730
enough manna to feed them
392
00:18:20.730 --> 00:18:24.720
for 2000 years.
393
00:18:24.720 --> 00:18:28.020
And Rabbis have made a rough estimate of
394
00:18:28.020 --> 00:18:29.760
how much manna was actually needed.
395
00:18:29.760 --> 00:18:32.730
God gave far more than what they needed.
396
00:18:32.730 --> 00:18:34.800
And the rabbis have estimated
397
00:18:34.800 --> 00:18:36.630
that if there were 3 million Jews,
398
00:18:36.630 --> 00:18:41.190
then they needed approximately 4,500 tons
399
00:18:41.190 --> 00:18:44.100
of manna every day.
400
00:18:44.100 --> 00:18:48.240
And if it fell, as the
Bible says for 40 years,
401
00:18:48.240 --> 00:18:50.400
it means at the end of those 40 years,
402
00:18:50.400 --> 00:18:52.680
if you added it all up,
403
00:18:52.680 --> 00:18:57.420
it was 65,000,700 tons
404
00:18:57.420 --> 00:18:58.980
of manna.
405
00:19:00.000 --> 00:19:03.090
Now my friends, that's a lot of manna.
406
00:19:03.090 --> 00:19:06.450
Just imagine if you woke up
in your city tomorrow morning
407
00:19:07.710 --> 00:19:09.750
and 4,500 tons
408
00:19:09.750 --> 00:19:12.510
of freshly baked bread were
laying all over the city,
409
00:19:12.510 --> 00:19:13.680
you could just run outta the house
410
00:19:13.680 --> 00:19:15.450
and pick it up and bring
it home and eat it.
411
00:19:15.450 --> 00:19:17.280
It would be such a sensation
412
00:19:17.280 --> 00:19:19.800
that scientists would fly
in from around the world,
413
00:19:19.800 --> 00:19:21.690
news stories would cover it.
414
00:19:21.690 --> 00:19:23.700
They would begin to look
at it and then examine it.
415
00:19:23.700 --> 00:19:25.800
What is it? Where did it come from?
416
00:19:25.800 --> 00:19:29.100
That happened with the children of Israel consistently.
417
00:19:29.100 --> 00:19:33.150
For 40 years, an entire generation
418
00:19:33.150 --> 00:19:37.050
of children grew up in the wilderness thinking it was normal
419
00:19:37.050 --> 00:19:41.880
to wake up and miraculously find 4,500 tons
420
00:19:41.880 --> 00:19:44.100
of manna laying on the ground.
421
00:19:44.100 --> 00:19:45.900
They were born when it was happening.
422
00:19:45.900 --> 00:19:47.730
They saw it for 40 years.
423
00:19:47.730 --> 00:19:51.720
They didn't know life without
this supernatural provision.
424
00:19:51.720 --> 00:19:54.330
That's what happened when the window
425
00:19:54.330 --> 00:19:57.900
of heaven opened over the children of Israel.
426
00:19:57.900 --> 00:19:59.670
So now we've seen two examples.
427
00:19:59.670 --> 00:20:02.700
No.1: Genesis 7: the portal
428
00:20:02.700 --> 00:20:05.430
of heaven opened and rain poured and poured
429
00:20:05.430 --> 00:20:07.710
and poured enough to flood the entire earth,
430
00:20:07.710 --> 00:20:09.990
even covering the top of the tallest mountains.
431
00:20:09.990 --> 00:20:13.830
No.2: in the wilderness, the window of heaven open
432
00:20:13.830 --> 00:20:15.240
and manna poured
433
00:20:15.240 --> 00:20:17.250
and poured at least
434
00:20:17.250 --> 00:20:21.090
65,700,000
435
00:20:21.090 --> 00:20:23.760
tons of manna.
436
00:20:23.760 --> 00:20:25.680
Now, keep all of that in your mind
437
00:20:25.680 --> 00:20:29.430
and let's return to Genesis where God says -
438
00:20:29.430 --> 00:20:32.850
If you bring all the tithe into the storehouse,
439
00:20:32.850 --> 00:20:35.280
prove me now here with says the Lord of hosts,
440
00:20:35.280 --> 00:20:37.680
if I will not open the window of heaven
441
00:20:37.680 --> 00:20:40.710
and pour you out a blessing so huge
442
00:20:40.710 --> 00:20:44.220
that you will not have room to receive it; my friends,
443
00:20:44.220 --> 00:20:48.460
this means we need to upgrade our believing rather than say
444
00:20:48.460 --> 00:20:50.110
God, I'm giving so that you'll meet a little
445
00:20:50.110 --> 00:20:51.370
need in my life.
446
00:20:51.370 --> 00:20:54.100
Lord, if you could just gimme fragments, God is wanting
447
00:20:54.100 --> 00:20:56.950
to fill the table till it is overflowing.
448
00:20:56.950 --> 00:21:00.970
God is wanting to open the window of heaven over your life
449
00:21:00.970 --> 00:21:03.490
to such a degree that you will not have room
450
00:21:03.490 --> 00:21:06.430
to receive everything
that he wants to give.
451
00:21:06.430 --> 00:21:10.330
And we need to renew our minds to what God wants to give us.
452
00:21:10.330 --> 00:21:13.930
But wait - there's one more promise. In Malachi 3:
453
00:21:13.930 --> 00:21:15.580
11, God says,
454
00:21:15.580 --> 00:21:18.040
And I will rebuke the devour for your sake -
455
00:21:18.040 --> 00:21:22.930
which means - when we open our hands to give,
456
00:21:22.930 --> 00:21:24.910
God opens his mouth.
457
00:21:24.910 --> 00:21:29.710
Wow. When you open your hand to obey God with your finances,
458
00:21:29.710 --> 00:21:31.240
God opens his mouth
459
00:21:31.240 --> 00:21:35.290
and rebukes the devour for our sake: God literally says
460
00:21:35.290 --> 00:21:37.510
to the devil, move off of that person.
461
00:21:37.510 --> 00:21:39.550
That person is a generous giver.
462
00:21:39.550 --> 00:21:43.210
Just move off of them and
move off of them right now.
463
00:21:43.210 --> 00:21:46.510
And friend, I'm gonna tell
you, when God opens his mouth
464
00:21:46.510 --> 00:21:49.300
and speaks to the devil, the devil moves.
465
00:21:50.380 --> 00:21:53.740
But in these remarkable verses, in Malachi 1
466
00:21:53.740 --> 00:21:55.450
and 3, we find first of all
467
00:21:55.450 --> 00:21:56.740
that God's listening to us.
468
00:21:56.740 --> 00:21:59.500
He knows our heart
condition about our giving.
469
00:21:59.500 --> 00:22:02.140
He tells us how to return to
him and how to make it right.
470
00:22:02.140 --> 00:22:05.260
He tells us to bring a generous offering into the house
471
00:22:05.260 --> 00:22:09.280
of God and he will open the window of heaven over our life,
472
00:22:09.280 --> 00:22:11.890
pour out a blessing so
huge, we won't even know how
473
00:22:11.890 --> 00:22:13.030
to contain it all.
474
00:22:13.030 --> 00:22:14.560
And he'll open his mouth
475
00:22:14.560 --> 00:22:17.800
and he'll tell the devil
to move off of our lives.
476
00:22:17.800 --> 00:22:21.790
All of that belongs to
those who generously give.
477
00:22:21.790 --> 00:22:25.870
Remember, God is generous
with the generous,
478
00:22:25.870 --> 00:22:30.310
and God wants you through your
own giving to open the window
479
00:22:30.310 --> 00:22:33.010
of heaven over your life.
480
00:22:33.010 --> 00:22:34.360
That is amazing.
481
00:22:34.360 --> 00:22:37.270
I'll be back in just a moment
and I want to pray for you.
482
00:22:37.270 --> 00:22:40.480
What does the Bible really mean when it says God will open
483
00:22:40.480 --> 00:22:42.190
the windows of heaven over the lives
484
00:22:42.190 --> 00:22:43.780
of those who are givers?
485
00:22:43.780 --> 00:22:46.270
And how do you know if the
windows of God are closed
486
00:22:46.270 --> 00:22:48.760
or open over your life?
487
00:22:48.760 --> 00:22:51.700
Rick Renner says - Years ago, I didn't understand
488
00:22:51.700 --> 00:22:54.820
how vital it was that I sowed into the kingdom of God.
489
00:22:54.820 --> 00:22:58.510
And as a result, Denise and
I lived sad financial lives.
490
00:22:58.510 --> 00:23:01.330
But a day came when the Holy
Spirit showed me the powerful
491
00:23:01.330 --> 00:23:04.330
results that take place when
you become a regular giver.
492
00:23:04.330 --> 00:23:07.660
The day Denise and I began to
give, we discovered the key
493
00:23:07.660 --> 00:23:10.930
that opens the window of heaven. In this series, How

00:24:03.470 --> 00:24:07.105
Hey friends, this is Rick Renner, and look where I am.
516
00:24:07.105 --> 00:24:11.090
I'm just outside the Tulsa
headquarters building that is
517
00:24:11.090 --> 00:24:12.680
so wonderful
518
00:24:12.680 --> 00:24:17.480
and inside this building,
ministry is happening nonstop,
519
00:24:17.480 --> 00:24:19.760
as people are calling and we're calling people
520
00:24:19.760 --> 00:24:23.450
and they're responding to
teaching they can trust.
521
00:24:23.450 --> 00:24:25.730
That is our prayer.
522
00:24:25.730 --> 00:24:28.220
And God has been so good to enable us
523
00:24:28.220 --> 00:24:29.450
to move into this building.
524
00:24:29.450 --> 00:24:33.680
And guess what? The Ministry Expansion Program is now
525
00:24:33.680 --> 00:24:36.410
70% complete.
526
00:24:36.410 --> 00:24:38.745
Say amen. That is such a victory.
527
00:24:38.745 --> 00:24:41.840
And this has happened in a
very short period of time,
528
00:24:41.840 --> 00:24:44.420
but we still have 30% that we need
529
00:24:44.420 --> 00:24:48.110
to retire the debt on on this facility.
530
00:24:48.110 --> 00:24:50.210
And if you're a part of our Giving Team,
531
00:24:50.210 --> 00:24:53.600
I wanna say thank you for everything you have already done
532
00:24:53.600 --> 00:24:55.790
and please together, let's keep it up
533
00:24:55.790 --> 00:24:58.190
because we need to retire
the debt on this building
534
00:24:58.190 --> 00:25:01.820
so we can release all those
finances to take teaching
535
00:25:01.820 --> 00:25:03.860
of the Bible to the ends of the Earth.
536
00:25:03.860 --> 00:25:05.840
And if you're not already a part
537
00:25:05.840 --> 00:25:08.930
of the Ministry Giving Team,
would you please become a part
538
00:25:08.930 --> 00:25:12.260
of the team to help us
retire the remaining 30%
539
00:25:12.260 --> 00:25:14.150
of the debt on this building?
540
00:25:14.150 --> 00:25:18.860
Wow, what a victory that will
be. We'll shout, hallelujah.
541
00:25:18.860 --> 00:25:20.870
And you'll say, hallelujah with us
542
00:25:20.870 --> 00:25:23.960
and people around the
world will be benefited
543
00:25:23.960 --> 00:25:28.130
because finally, funds will
be released redirected so
544
00:25:28.130 --> 00:25:31.970
that we can take teaching
people can trust to the ends
545
00:25:31.970 --> 00:25:33.470
of the earth.
546
00:25:33.470 --> 00:25:37.190
And that my friend is what
it's all about with us.
547
00:25:37.190 --> 00:25:41.420
We want to reach people that are crying out for the teaching
548
00:25:41.420 --> 00:25:42.770
of God's word.
549
00:25:42.770 --> 00:25:46.010
But thank you for becoming a part of the Giving Team.
550
00:25:50.847 --> 00:25:53.248
My friend, today we have covered a lot
551
00:25:53.248 --> 00:25:55.760
of material in my brand new series called, How
552
00:25:55.760 --> 00:25:58.280
to Open the Window of Heaven Over Your Life:
553
00:25:58.280 --> 00:26:01.070
What the Bible really says about giving.
554
00:26:01.070 --> 00:26:05.090
And we've seen that our generous giving is the key
555
00:26:05.090 --> 00:26:08.330
to unlock the lock to the window of heaven.
556
00:26:08.330 --> 00:26:11.720
And when we bring a generous gift to God,
557
00:26:11.720 --> 00:26:14.120
it literally opens the window of heaven
558
00:26:14.120 --> 00:26:19.120
so God begins to pour miraculous abundance into our life.
559
00:26:19.250 --> 00:26:22.370
Father, help us to upgrade
our faith to understand
560
00:26:22.370 --> 00:26:26.900
and to embrace what you
want to pour into our lives.
561
00:26:26.900 --> 00:26:29.090
But anyway, it's all in
this wonderful series.
562
00:26:29.090 --> 00:26:31.490
You need to hear it and
hear it and hear it.
563
00:26:31.490 --> 00:26:33.860
And my friend, it comes
with a study guide so
564
00:26:33.860 --> 00:26:36.320
that you can read all of it
while you're listening to it
565
00:26:36.320 --> 00:26:38.000
or while you're seeing it.
566
00:26:38.000 --> 00:26:41.120
And remember that right now we're also offering you my book,
567
00:26:41.120 --> 00:26:44.670
which is called, A Life Ablaze: 10 Simple Keys
568
00:26:44.670 --> 00:26:47.400
to Living on Fire for God.
569
00:26:47.400 --> 00:26:50.370
God wants you to start
on fire and end on fire.
570
00:26:50.370 --> 00:26:51.930
You need to know the right fuels
571
00:26:51.930 --> 00:26:54.270
to be injecting into your flame so
572
00:26:54.270 --> 00:26:56.160
that you remain a life ablaze.
573
00:26:56.160 --> 00:26:58.380
And that's what this book is about.
574
00:26:58.380 --> 00:27:01.200
And my friends, you can order
all of these by going online
575
00:27:01.200 --> 00:27:02.460
or by giving us a call.
576
00:27:02.460 --> 00:27:05.070
And remember that if you
need prayer, we're waiting
577
00:27:05.070 --> 00:27:06.840
for the phone to ring right now
578
00:27:06.840 --> 00:27:09.120
or for your email to show up in our inbox.
579
00:27:09.120 --> 00:27:12.030
But Father, in the name
of Jesus, Lord, help us
580
00:27:12.030 --> 00:27:15.000
to really see what you
want to do in our life.
581
00:27:15.000 --> 00:27:17.580
You're not wanting to give
us crumbs, you're wanting
582
00:27:17.580 --> 00:27:19.050
to fill the table.
583
00:27:19.050 --> 00:27:22.290
And Lord, help us to
upgrade our faith to see it
584
00:27:22.290 --> 00:27:23.550
and to embrace it.
585
00:27:23.550 --> 00:27:27.510
In Jesus' name. Amen.
I'll see you tomorrow.
586
00:27:27.510 --> 00:27:30.420
But remember Ecclesiastes 8:4, "Where the word
587
00:27:30.420 --> 00:27:32.820
of a king is there is power."
588
00:27:33.780 --> 00:27:36.030
If you've never received
Jesus as your Savior
589
00:27:36.030 --> 00:27:40.440
and Lord, now is the time for
you to experience a new life
590
00:27:40.440 --> 00:27:42.540
Jesus has to give you.
591
00:27:42.540 --> 00:27:46.650
Pray this prayer with me right now; Lord,
592
00:27:46.650 --> 00:27:50.670
I repent of my sin and receive you as my Savior
593
00:27:50.670 --> 00:27:53.640
and Lord. Wash away my sin
594
00:27:53.640 --> 00:27:56.670
and make me completely new.
595
00:27:56.670 --> 00:28:00.510
I thank you that my sin is removed
596
00:28:00.510 --> 00:28:05.190
and Satan no longer has any
right to lay claim on me.
597
00:28:06.030 --> 00:28:09.960
I faithfully promise that
I will serve you as my Lord
598
00:28:09.960 --> 00:28:11.640
for the rest of my life.
599
00:28:13.050 --> 00:28:16.680
Amen. Thank you for
joining Rick Renner today.
