3
00:00:07.140 --> 00:00:08.370
Hello friends.
4
00:00:08.370 --> 00:00:11.220
I've been waiting for you
5
00:00:11.220 --> 00:00:14.670
and I'm so glad that you're with me today.
6
00:00:14.670 --> 00:00:18.210
I have something very important I wanna talk to you about.
7
00:00:18.210 --> 00:00:22.920
And that's that intimate
relationship that we have
8
00:00:22.920 --> 00:00:25.050
with the Holy Spirit.
9
00:00:25.050 --> 00:00:29.010
God, when he saved us,
he didn't just save us so
10
00:00:29.010 --> 00:00:31.200
that we would obey all the rules
11
00:00:31.200 --> 00:00:33.600
and keep all the regulations.
12
00:00:33.600 --> 00:00:38.310
No, he invited us into a divine
13
00:00:38.310 --> 00:00:40.230
relationship,
14
00:00:40.230 --> 00:00:45.230
a divine communion with him.
15
00:00:45.630 --> 00:00:48.600
And when we come to him,
16
00:00:48.600 --> 00:00:51.360
our life should never be the same.
17
00:00:51.360 --> 00:00:54.360
And that's what I wanna
talk to you about today,
18
00:00:54.360 --> 00:00:57.780
is some people who came into relationship
19
00:00:57.780 --> 00:01:01.170
and encounter with Jesus
20
00:01:01.170 --> 00:01:03.150
and they were never the same.
21
00:01:04.110 --> 00:01:05.880
And I wanna encourage you
22
00:01:06.810 --> 00:01:11.730
by offering you also
my husband's Sparkling
23
00:01:11.730 --> 00:01:13.680
Gem from the Greek No.I
24
00:01:13.680 --> 00:01:16.830
and Sparkling Gems from the Greek
25
00:01:16.830 --> 00:01:21.270
No.II. Now you say, well those are huge books.
26
00:01:21.270 --> 00:01:26.070
Well they are, but you
eat them little by little.
27
00:01:26.070 --> 00:01:28.920
They're daily devotionals.
28
00:01:28.920 --> 00:01:33.750
And these books are gonna
help you to understand
29
00:01:33.750 --> 00:01:37.860
and and unlock the secrets that are
30
00:01:37.860 --> 00:01:41.220
inside of you by the Holy Spirit.
31
00:01:41.220 --> 00:01:44.040
Isn't that exciting? Now listen to this.
32
00:01:44.040 --> 00:01:46.020
This is outta my husband's book.
33
00:01:46.020 --> 00:01:50.310
He's talking about us being spiritually
34
00:01:50.310 --> 00:01:51.930
rich
35
00:01:51.930 --> 00:01:55.590
because the Holy Spirit
lives on the inside of you.
36
00:01:58.140 --> 00:02:02.550
It says, these words describe
people so full of the word
37
00:02:02.550 --> 00:02:06.420
of God, that their entire being is
38
00:02:06.420 --> 00:02:10.590
affected, their hearts are full of joy.
39
00:02:10.590 --> 00:02:15.180
Their minds are flooded with
wisdom and understanding,
40
00:02:15.180 --> 00:02:19.860
and their mouths are filled
with singing to the Lord.
41
00:02:19.860 --> 00:02:23.760
These people have struck it rich
42
00:02:23.760 --> 00:02:25.620
spiritually.
43
00:02:25.620 --> 00:02:27.060
When you got born again
44
00:02:27.060 --> 00:02:30.000
and the Holy Spirit came on the inside,
45
00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:33.780
you struck it rich.
46
00:02:33.780 --> 00:02:35.940
And these books, honestly,
47
00:02:35.940 --> 00:02:39.780
they're gonna help you in
your journey of finding out
48
00:02:39.780 --> 00:02:44.340
who you are and what God has
done on the inside of you.
49
00:02:44.340 --> 00:02:48.210
And also, I wanna offer you my new book,
50
00:02:48.210 --> 00:02:51.030
it's called Unstoppable.
51
00:02:51.030 --> 00:02:56.010
I believe more than ever
that we need this message
52
00:02:56.010 --> 00:02:58.830
to be unstoppable:
53
00:02:58.830 --> 00:03:02.110
to not stop in giving forgiveness,
54
00:03:02.110 --> 00:03:05.920
to not stop in refusing fear,
55
00:03:05.920 --> 00:03:08.860
to not stop in being affected
56
00:03:08.860 --> 00:03:12.910
by other people's negative opinions.
57
00:03:12.910 --> 00:03:15.340
And this book is going to encourage you
58
00:03:15.340 --> 00:03:18.250
to not stop the pressures
59
00:03:18.250 --> 00:03:21.700
that we feel right now in this world
60
00:03:21.700 --> 00:03:26.020
for different reasons, they're real.
61
00:03:26.020 --> 00:03:30.520
And we need to have a
resolve on the inside
62
00:03:30.520 --> 00:03:34.750
of us that yes, I feel these pressures.
63
00:03:34.750 --> 00:03:37.450
Yes, I see these problems.
64
00:03:37.450 --> 00:03:40.390
Yes, I'm facing these problems,
65
00:03:40.390 --> 00:03:43.480
but the greater one lives inside of me
66
00:03:43.480 --> 00:03:47.590
and I've made a decision
that I'm going with him
67
00:03:47.590 --> 00:03:50.080
and I'm going to be Unstoppable.
68
00:03:50.080 --> 00:03:53.350
So I want you to have this book also.
69
00:03:53.350 --> 00:03:56.710
Well stay with me
70
00:03:56.710 --> 00:03:58.660
and we will begin our teaching.
71
00:03:59.530 --> 00:04:03.430
It's time for big miracles
and changes in your life.
72
00:04:04.390 --> 00:04:05.680
Join Denise Renner
73
00:04:05.680 --> 00:04:09.250
and dive into the study of God's word, which has great power
74
00:04:09.250 --> 00:04:12.370
to strengthen faith, inspire, change,
75
00:04:12.370 --> 00:04:14.410
heal physically and spiritually.
76
00:04:14.410 --> 00:04:17.320
And most importantly, help
you learn about the power
77
00:04:17.320 --> 00:04:19.090
of Christ Jesus living in you.
78
00:04:20.140 --> 00:04:22.210
It's time with Denise Renner.
79
00:04:24.850 --> 00:04:29.290
I'm so excited to open
the word of God to you today
80
00:04:29.290 --> 00:04:32.920
and talk about our encounter,
81
00:04:32.920 --> 00:04:37.000
that one on one personal relationship
82
00:04:37.000 --> 00:04:41.140
with Jesus through the
power of the Holy Spirit.
83
00:04:41.140 --> 00:04:45.490
In 1 Corinthians 6:17, it says
84
00:04:45.490 --> 00:04:50.490
that he who is with the
Lord is one's spirit.
85
00:04:50.950 --> 00:04:53.380
We are not trying to get to God.
86
00:04:53.380 --> 00:04:57.070
God already lives inside of you,
87
00:04:57.070 --> 00:04:58.960
inside of me.
88
00:04:58.960 --> 00:05:03.520
And you just heard from the
word of God that we are not,
89
00:05:03.520 --> 00:05:07.690
we're not separate, we're one.
90
00:05:07.690 --> 00:05:11.560
When all these spirit came
inside of us, he didn't say,
91
00:05:11.560 --> 00:05:14.770
I'm gonna stand over here and
you're gonna stand over there.
92
00:05:14.770 --> 00:05:17.020
No, he said, we're gonna be one.
93
00:05:18.310 --> 00:05:21.490
We're gonna be one spirit together.
94
00:05:21.490 --> 00:05:24.130
Friend, I know that's amazing
95
00:05:24.130 --> 00:05:26.950
and that's what I wanna
talk to you about today
96
00:05:26.950 --> 00:05:30.340
and people that have had
an encounter with Jesus
97
00:05:30.340 --> 00:05:33.275
and that it changed their life forever.
98
00:05:36.220 --> 00:05:40.330
But before we get started,
if you need prayer,
99
00:05:40.330 --> 00:05:41.860
please let us know.
100
00:05:41.860 --> 00:05:44.470
Please let us know how
we can pray for you.
101
00:05:44.470 --> 00:05:48.070
We're here for you to pray for you.
102
00:05:48.070 --> 00:05:51.670
There have been so many
testimonies of people
103
00:05:51.670 --> 00:05:54.850
who have called in for prayer.
104
00:05:54.850 --> 00:05:59.630
I even heard one testimony
where a woman called in
105
00:05:59.630 --> 00:06:04.490
and they thought that the
baby inside of her was dead.
106
00:06:04.490 --> 00:06:07.250
And they went to the doctor the next day
107
00:06:07.250 --> 00:06:09.230
and they felt a heartbeat.
108
00:06:09.230 --> 00:06:12.650
They heard a heartbeat in that child.
109
00:06:12.650 --> 00:06:17.330
But you know what happened?
That mother called for prayer.
110
00:06:17.330 --> 00:06:18.980
The Bible says that where two
111
00:06:18.980 --> 00:06:23.720
or more agree together
touching anything, it's in
112
00:06:23.720 --> 00:06:27.410
that agreement that it
will be done by our father,
113
00:06:27.410 --> 00:06:28.580
which is in heaven.
114
00:06:28.580 --> 00:06:31.880
And we're just waiting there by phone
115
00:06:31.880 --> 00:06:35.000
or by email to agree with you.
116
00:06:36.320 --> 00:06:39.620
And if God's done something
special in your life,
117
00:06:39.620 --> 00:06:41.300
please let us know about it.
118
00:06:41.300 --> 00:06:44.480
'cause we wanna rejoice with you.
119
00:06:44.480 --> 00:06:48.230
Well, the person that I'm
gonna talk to you about today
120
00:06:48.230 --> 00:06:51.830
who had a one-on-one encounter
121
00:06:51.830 --> 00:06:55.760
with Jesus was the woman at the well.
122
00:06:55.760 --> 00:06:59.480
And we find her story in John 4 -
123
00:07:03.170 --> 00:07:06.620
in chapter 4:4-37.
124
00:07:09.350 --> 00:07:14.350
So we see that Jesus, the Bible says that Jesus was tired
125
00:07:14.900 --> 00:07:19.280
and the disciples went into
town to go get some food.
126
00:07:19.280 --> 00:07:23.450
And Jesus went by this well and
127
00:07:23.450 --> 00:07:26.780
and the Bible says he was, that's amazing
128
00:07:26.780 --> 00:07:29.360
that the Bible says he was tired.
129
00:07:29.360 --> 00:07:32.840
Can you imagine how tired Jesus was?
130
00:07:32.840 --> 00:07:37.550
I mean, preaching all the time, walking all the time trying
131
00:07:37.550 --> 00:07:39.800
to direct the disciples.
132
00:07:39.800 --> 00:07:42.770
And it says that he was tired.
133
00:07:42.770 --> 00:07:46.880
And when he was leaning on
that, well, there was a woman
134
00:07:46.880 --> 00:07:50.600
that came and he asked her for a drink.
135
00:07:51.860 --> 00:07:54.440
And she said, How is it - verse 9 - that you being a Jew,
136
00:07:59.420 --> 00:08:01.790
ask me for a drink.
137
00:08:01.790 --> 00:08:06.200
I'm a Samaritan woman
for Jews have no dealings
138
00:08:06.200 --> 00:08:08.030
with Samaritans.
139
00:08:08.030 --> 00:08:13.030
So what Jesus was doing was already
140
00:08:13.130 --> 00:08:14.600
against culture,
141
00:08:15.440 --> 00:08:19.460
but Jesus wasn't trying
to obey cultural rules.
142
00:08:19.460 --> 00:08:23.150
He was on assignment
143
00:08:23.150 --> 00:08:26.450
and he, there was something
that was gonna happen
144
00:08:26.450 --> 00:08:27.770
with this woman.
145
00:08:27.770 --> 00:08:31.280
She was gonna have an encounter with Jesus
146
00:08:31.280 --> 00:08:34.070
that was gonna change her life forever.
147
00:08:34.070 --> 00:08:36.080
Now, verse 10, Jesus answered
148
00:08:36.080 --> 00:08:41.000
and said to her, if you knew the gift
149
00:08:41.000 --> 00:08:45.530
of God and who it is, who says to you,
150
00:08:45.530 --> 00:08:49.700
give me a drink, you would have asked him
151
00:08:49.700 --> 00:08:54.410
and he would've had
given you living water.
152
00:08:56.160 --> 00:09:00.780
I wanna direct our
attention to these words
153
00:09:00.780 --> 00:09:03.960
if you knew the gift of God.
154
00:09:04.980 --> 00:09:07.950
Now this woman, if
155
00:09:07.950 --> 00:09:10.890
as we learn about her in this story,
156
00:09:10.890 --> 00:09:12.930
as you learn about her in the story,
157
00:09:12.930 --> 00:09:15.210
Jesus has several words of knowledge.
158
00:09:15.210 --> 00:09:19.530
And he ask her, go get your husband.
159
00:09:19.530 --> 00:09:21.870
She says, well, I don't have a husband.
160
00:09:21.870 --> 00:09:25.980
And then Jesus says,
oh, you've spoken, well,
161
00:09:25.980 --> 00:09:30.980
you've had 5 husbands and the man that you are with now
162
00:09:31.110 --> 00:09:34.410
and you're living with,
he's not your husband.
163
00:09:34.410 --> 00:09:37.110
So Jesus is unveiling
164
00:09:37.110 --> 00:09:39.630
to this woman her life.
165
00:09:41.040 --> 00:09:44.400
And we would say
166
00:09:44.400 --> 00:09:49.400
that a woman like this,
if you knew a woman
167
00:09:49.560 --> 00:09:52.950
that was, had been married 5 times,
168
00:09:52.950 --> 00:09:57.360
and now this woman is living with another man,
169
00:09:57.360 --> 00:09:59.850
that she's not married to you,
170
00:09:59.850 --> 00:10:04.680
and I might possibly think
this isn't a very nice
171
00:10:04.680 --> 00:10:08.670
woman: we might think this woman,
172
00:10:08.670 --> 00:10:11.310
she's probably hurt a lot of people.
173
00:10:11.310 --> 00:10:14.310
She has probably a lot of enemies.
174
00:10:15.390 --> 00:10:17.760
She probably has emotional problems
175
00:10:17.760 --> 00:10:19.980
because she can't stay married to anybody.
176
00:10:19.980 --> 00:10:22.980
And now the man that she's living with,
177
00:10:22.980 --> 00:10:24.570
she's not married to.
178
00:10:24.570 --> 00:10:26.520
We might think that,
179
00:10:26.520 --> 00:10:30.870
but Jesus, he's focused on something else.
180
00:10:30.870 --> 00:10:33.510
He's not just focused on her problem
181
00:10:33.510 --> 00:10:36.240
because that's not her real problem.
182
00:10:36.240 --> 00:10:40.920
Her real problem is verse
10, and we just read it.
183
00:10:42.090 --> 00:10:44.130
He said to her,
184
00:10:44.130 --> 00:10:48.060
if you knew the gift of God,
185
00:10:49.440 --> 00:10:50.940
that's the real problem.
186
00:10:52.380 --> 00:10:56.760
I mean, yes, her life is a mess,
187
00:10:56.760 --> 00:10:59.010
but that's not the real problem.
188
00:10:59.010 --> 00:11:02.310
Probably people are talking
about her on the streets.
189
00:11:02.310 --> 00:11:05.280
If you would've walked down the streets of Sychar,
190
00:11:05.280 --> 00:11:09.180
you probably would have heard
somebody talking about this
191
00:11:09.180 --> 00:11:10.890
woman and how terrible
192
00:11:10.890 --> 00:11:13.530
and unstable that she was:
193
00:11:13.530 --> 00:11:15.240
that would be looking on the outside.
194
00:11:15.240 --> 00:11:17.820
But Jesus, he wasn't
looking on the outside.
195
00:11:17.820 --> 00:11:20.490
He was looking on the inside
196
00:11:21.360 --> 00:11:24.870
and he saw that her real problem
197
00:11:24.870 --> 00:11:28.050
wasn't being such an adulterous woman.
198
00:11:28.050 --> 00:11:29.400
Yes, that's bad;
199
00:11:29.400 --> 00:11:31.620
Jesus never excuses sin,
200
00:11:31.620 --> 00:11:34.680
but her real problem was
201
00:11:34.680 --> 00:11:38.280
that she didn't know the gift of God.
202
00:11:39.840 --> 00:11:43.560
When I was reading this, I thought, God,
203
00:11:43.560 --> 00:11:48.560
that's the difference
between people who are saved
204
00:11:49.020 --> 00:11:51.690
and good things going on in their life,
205
00:11:51.690 --> 00:11:54.460
and maybe God's healed your body.
206
00:11:54.460 --> 00:11:59.230
Maybe God saved your mind.
Maybe God saved your child.
207
00:11:59.230 --> 00:12:02.530
Maybe God's helped you financially.
208
00:12:03.400 --> 00:12:07.210
Maybe you've seen the
blessings of the Lord,
209
00:12:07.210 --> 00:12:11.800
but what's the difference
between you and this woman
210
00:12:11.800 --> 00:12:16.800
or someone else who's caught
up in a horrible lifestyle
211
00:12:16.990 --> 00:12:19.300
that you, you look at it
212
00:12:19.300 --> 00:12:20.980
and you are aghast
213
00:12:20.980 --> 00:12:23.470
that someone could do something like that.
214
00:12:23.470 --> 00:12:26.770
What's the difference
between you and them?
215
00:12:28.060 --> 00:12:31.000
There's one huge difference,
216
00:12:31.000 --> 00:12:35.980
and that is that you know the gift of God
217
00:12:35.980 --> 00:12:37.060
and they don't.
218
00:12:37.900 --> 00:12:40.930
I know the gift of God
219
00:12:40.930 --> 00:12:44.110
and the person that I
look at on the street
220
00:12:44.110 --> 00:12:47.530
and they have tremendous problems.
221
00:12:47.530 --> 00:12:51.940
What's the difference? Is it
that I'm better than them?
222
00:12:51.940 --> 00:12:56.110
Is it that I have the right
to look my nose down on them
223
00:12:56.110 --> 00:12:59.350
and say, if if I had their problems,
224
00:12:59.350 --> 00:13:02.350
I would never act like that?
225
00:13:02.350 --> 00:13:05.800
Is that it? No. No.
226
00:13:05.800 --> 00:13:10.030
The real problem is not their lifestyle.
227
00:13:10.030 --> 00:13:15.030
The real problem is they
don't know the gift of God.
228
00:13:15.280 --> 00:13:16.990
Praise God.
229
00:13:16.990 --> 00:13:20.800
If you're born again, you and
I, we know the gift of God.
230
00:13:20.800 --> 00:13:23.680
That's what makes our life so different.
231
00:13:24.940 --> 00:13:29.470
But this precious woman that
Jesus was having an encounter
232
00:13:29.470 --> 00:13:33.580
with, she didn't know the gift of God.
233
00:13:33.580 --> 00:13:36.640
Well, of course. And
then Jesus, he goes on,
234
00:13:36.640 --> 00:13:41.500
he reveals more of who
God is and who he is
235
00:13:41.500 --> 00:13:43.630
and who she is.
236
00:13:45.100 --> 00:13:47.770
And God begins to reveal
237
00:13:48.970 --> 00:13:52.390
that she could have living water
238
00:13:53.770 --> 00:13:56.560
and that he's the one
who could give it to her.
239
00:13:58.900 --> 00:14:02.320
You know there's a problem
when people don't know things,
240
00:14:02.320 --> 00:14:04.090
there's a problem with you and I
241
00:14:04.090 --> 00:14:07.180
when we don't know things. We
might do something wrong just
242
00:14:07.180 --> 00:14:08.980
because we don't know.
243
00:14:10.185 --> 00:14:15.185
I heard a testimony just last week
244
00:14:15.550 --> 00:14:19.930
and my friend was invited to a wedding
245
00:14:21.070 --> 00:14:25.570
and they were saying,
they were saying, well,
246
00:14:25.570 --> 00:14:27.490
well we don't drink.
247
00:14:27.490 --> 00:14:31.720
And the, and the other person said,
248
00:14:31.720 --> 00:14:34.450
but everybody's going to be drinking.
249
00:14:34.450 --> 00:14:37.210
But because my friend stood up
250
00:14:37.210 --> 00:14:42.210
and said, well, I don't drink, then the,
251
00:14:42.220 --> 00:14:44.050
the bride and groom said, well,
252
00:14:44.050 --> 00:14:46.840
we didn't know there was
anything wrong with drinking.
253
00:14:46.840 --> 00:14:48.220
We didn't even know
254
00:14:48.220 --> 00:14:50.770
that we shouldn't have
this at our wedding.
255
00:14:52.250 --> 00:14:54.290
And they listened to my friend
256
00:14:54.290 --> 00:14:57.830
and they listened to her say, why?
257
00:14:57.830 --> 00:15:00.770
And what can alcohol do in your life?
258
00:15:00.770 --> 00:15:03.770
And do you really want it in your wedding?
259
00:15:03.770 --> 00:15:07.370
And they said, you know, we,
we never thought about this.
260
00:15:07.370 --> 00:15:09.230
We never really knew.
261
00:15:10.430 --> 00:15:13.550
Are there some things
that you just don't know
262
00:15:13.550 --> 00:15:15.530
and maybe you made a mistake?
263
00:15:16.490 --> 00:15:20.360
Jesus said on the cross, he said, father,
264
00:15:20.360 --> 00:15:22.100
forgive them.
265
00:15:22.100 --> 00:15:26.600
Why? Because they don't know.
266
00:15:28.550 --> 00:15:33.410
But Jesus was coming
into this woman's space.
267
00:15:33.410 --> 00:15:36.770
She was having an encounter with him,
268
00:15:36.770 --> 00:15:41.690
and this woman was beginning
to know some things.
269
00:15:44.390 --> 00:15:48.470
Jesus continues to reveal the truth to her
270
00:15:48.470 --> 00:15:52.280
and her need and who God is
271
00:15:52.280 --> 00:15:56.540
and who she is, and that God is a spirit
272
00:15:56.540 --> 00:15:59.810
and those who worship
him must worship him in
273
00:15:59.810 --> 00:16:01.400
spirit and truth.
274
00:16:02.570 --> 00:16:05.390
In verse 25, we read,
275
00:16:06.890 --> 00:16:08.810
the woman said to him,
276
00:16:10.220 --> 00:16:13.070
this is her encounter with Jesus.
277
00:16:13.070 --> 00:16:18.070
I know that the Messiahs
coming who is called Christ.
278
00:16:18.260 --> 00:16:21.800
When he comes, he will tell us all things.
279
00:16:23.000 --> 00:16:26.750
Jesus said to her, I
280
00:16:26.750 --> 00:16:28.460
who speaks to you
281
00:16:29.420 --> 00:16:32.900
am He. At this point,
282
00:16:32.900 --> 00:16:34.100
his disciples came
283
00:16:34.100 --> 00:16:37.010
and they marvel that
he talked with a woman.
284
00:16:37.010 --> 00:16:41.240
Yet no one said, what do you seek?
285
00:16:41.240 --> 00:16:44.090
Or why are you talking with her?
286
00:16:44.090 --> 00:16:49.090
In verse 28: the woman then left her water pot,
287
00:16:49.190 --> 00:16:53.780
went her way into the city
and said to the men, come
288
00:16:53.780 --> 00:16:57.080
and see a man who told me
289
00:16:58.430 --> 00:17:01.070
all the things I ever did.
290
00:17:01.070 --> 00:17:03.860
Could this be the Christ?
291
00:17:04.820 --> 00:17:09.200
Now, this encounter with Jesus was
292
00:17:09.200 --> 00:17:11.840
so amazing with this woman.
293
00:17:11.840 --> 00:17:13.310
Why did she come to that
294
00:17:13.310 --> 00:17:18.140
well. She came to the well to get water.
295
00:17:19.100 --> 00:17:24.050
But when she had the encounter with Jesus,
296
00:17:24.050 --> 00:17:26.600
what did she leave at the well?
297
00:17:27.470 --> 00:17:31.010
She left her water pot.
298
00:17:31.010 --> 00:17:35.840
I think she was so amazed
by who she was talking
299
00:17:35.840 --> 00:17:40.840
to, what he was saying to
her, his very presence,
300
00:17:40.880 --> 00:17:45.410
that she forgot that she
even came there for water.
301
00:17:45.410 --> 00:17:49.650
Oh, but that woman, she
came there for water
302
00:17:49.650 --> 00:17:51.360
that would perish,
303
00:17:51.360 --> 00:17:56.340
but she didn't leave there
with water that would perish.
304
00:17:56.340 --> 00:18:00.030
She left there with living water.
305
00:18:02.280 --> 00:18:04.860
You know, when you came to Jesus,
306
00:18:06.000 --> 00:18:09.390
did you leave something behind
307
00:18:09.390 --> 00:18:12.750
and take something new with you?
308
00:18:12.750 --> 00:18:14.580
That's what happened to me.
309
00:18:14.580 --> 00:18:18.630
When I came to Jesus, I left
310
00:18:18.630 --> 00:18:19.740
behind.
311
00:18:20.970 --> 00:18:25.080
I didn't dress quite
properly for a Christian
312
00:18:25.080 --> 00:18:28.440
because I was just so religious and,
313
00:18:28.440 --> 00:18:31.920
and I wasn't convicted
about how I dressed.
314
00:18:31.920 --> 00:18:34.200
I didn't care about that.
315
00:18:34.200 --> 00:18:38.760
But when I had that encounter
with Jesus, do you know
316
00:18:38.760 --> 00:18:42.960
that I left behind dressing like that?
317
00:18:42.960 --> 00:18:45.990
That day that I had that
encounter with him, I went
318
00:18:45.990 --> 00:18:47.160
to bed that night.
319
00:18:47.160 --> 00:18:50.910
That next morning I went to
my closet to get dressed.
320
00:18:50.910 --> 00:18:53.010
I looked at my clothes
321
00:18:53.010 --> 00:18:55.080
and the Holy Spirit said to me, well,
322
00:18:55.080 --> 00:18:56.940
you won't be wearing that today.
323
00:18:56.940 --> 00:18:59.880
Nope. You won't be
wearing that today. Nope.
324
00:18:59.880 --> 00:19:03.570
You won't be wearing that today. Why?
325
00:19:03.570 --> 00:19:06.330
Because of that encounter with Jesus.
326
00:19:06.330 --> 00:19:10.680
I left behind my immodest apparel
327
00:19:10.680 --> 00:19:15.240
and I took a hold of an
apparel that complimented
328
00:19:15.240 --> 00:19:16.830
and glorified God.
329
00:19:18.000 --> 00:19:21.900
When I came to Jesus, I left behind
330
00:19:21.900 --> 00:19:25.410
my relationship with my
mom that wasn't very good
331
00:19:25.410 --> 00:19:27.150
and not very respectful,
332
00:19:27.150 --> 00:19:31.410
and I gained a relationship so wonderful
333
00:19:31.410 --> 00:19:35.880
with my mom that she
became like my best friend.
334
00:19:35.880 --> 00:19:39.090
When I came to Jesus, I left
335
00:19:39.090 --> 00:19:44.070
behind a religious rule keeping person,
336
00:19:44.070 --> 00:19:48.420
and I became one who
was on fire for Jesus.
337
00:19:49.260 --> 00:19:53.040
When I had my encounter with Jesus, I left
338
00:19:53.040 --> 00:19:57.360
behind not even being
able to talk about him,
339
00:19:57.360 --> 00:20:02.010
and I grabbed a hold of a
power to witness about him
340
00:20:02.010 --> 00:20:05.310
to anyone that would stand
still and listen to me.
341
00:20:06.300 --> 00:20:11.300
What did you leave behind
when you came to Jesus
342
00:20:11.820 --> 00:20:15.420
and what did you take a hold of?
343
00:20:15.420 --> 00:20:19.530
Oh, friend, it's so good to remember these things.
344
00:20:19.530 --> 00:20:21.390
Think of that precious woman.
345
00:20:21.390 --> 00:20:24.030
Look at all that she left behind.
346
00:20:24.030 --> 00:20:26.340
She left her water pot behind.
347
00:20:26.340 --> 00:20:30.000
It was the most important
thing for her that day was
348
00:20:30.000 --> 00:20:31.560
to get water.
349
00:20:31.560 --> 00:20:33.840
She left it behind
350
00:20:33.840 --> 00:20:37.950
and she took a hold of living water
351
00:20:37.950 --> 00:20:42.210
and a testimony of a man
who had changed her life
352
00:20:42.210 --> 00:20:44.790
and knew everything about her,
353
00:20:44.790 --> 00:20:48.160
and she invited a whole city
to come and talk to him.
354
00:20:50.140 --> 00:20:54.760
Amazing what we leave
355
00:20:54.760 --> 00:20:55.840
behind
356
00:20:57.250 --> 00:21:02.230
and what we come away with when we have
357
00:21:02.230 --> 00:21:04.570
that encounter with Jesus.
358
00:21:06.250 --> 00:21:09.400
Maybe through all these pressures that you're experiencing,
359
00:21:09.400 --> 00:21:12.250
I don't know what you're
experiencing in your life.
360
00:21:12.250 --> 00:21:14.020
I don't know what kinda worries
361
00:21:14.020 --> 00:21:16.810
or care cares you've come into.
362
00:21:17.770 --> 00:21:21.100
Maybe you've picked up
some of those things
363
00:21:21.100 --> 00:21:23.410
that you left behind.
364
00:21:23.410 --> 00:21:26.350
Maybe you picked up offense.
365
00:21:26.350 --> 00:21:29.740
Maybe you picked up worry.
366
00:21:29.740 --> 00:21:33.940
Maybe you picked up, not
367
00:21:34.810 --> 00:21:37.060
just not being thankful.
368
00:21:38.530 --> 00:21:42.700
It's time to leave that behind again
369
00:21:42.700 --> 00:21:45.490
and pick up thankfulness.
370
00:21:45.490 --> 00:21:48.040
Pick up trusting in God.
371
00:21:49.120 --> 00:21:51.460
Pick up forgiveness
372
00:21:53.770 --> 00:21:58.600
because that's what having an
encounter with Jesus is like.
373
00:21:59.950 --> 00:22:03.910
Friend, we come into that place with him,
374
00:22:03.910 --> 00:22:06.310
that divine communion
375
00:22:06.310 --> 00:22:10.030
that we were talking about
at the first of the program,
376
00:22:10.900 --> 00:22:15.820
and we hear him say, I love you,
377
00:22:15.820 --> 00:22:18.850
but let's leave behind this
378
00:22:18.850 --> 00:22:21.610
and let's take this.
379
00:22:21.610 --> 00:22:26.170
Let's give up that offense.
Let's take on forgiveness.
380
00:22:26.170 --> 00:22:28.870
Let's give up that complaining,
381
00:22:28.870 --> 00:22:31.510
and let's be thankful for everything.
382
00:22:32.650 --> 00:22:35.980
Is that not amazing
383
00:22:35.980 --> 00:22:40.150
that we can have such a relationship
384
00:22:40.150 --> 00:22:41.650
with our God?
385
00:22:42.580 --> 00:22:46.930
I'm so thankful that I had
386
00:22:46.930 --> 00:22:48.580
that encounter with him
387
00:22:48.580 --> 00:22:52.360
and that I can have that encounter
388
00:22:52.360 --> 00:22:56.590
with him every single day.
389
00:22:57.490 --> 00:23:02.470
He invites me into that
communion every single day.
390
00:23:02.470 --> 00:23:06.430
He invites you into that communion
391
00:23:06.430 --> 00:23:09.700
with him every single day.
392
00:23:11.650 --> 00:23:15.940
Friend, it's been my great privilege to be
393
00:23:15.940 --> 00:23:20.020
with you today and
share this word with you
394
00:23:20.020 --> 00:23:21.130
and we're gonna come -
395
00:23:21.130 --> 00:23:26.130
I'm gonna come back to you and I want to pray for you.
396
00:23:26.470 --> 00:23:29.320
Are you tired of getting
stopped by the negative voices
397
00:23:29.320 --> 00:23:32.290
and opinions that seem to
paralyze you along the way?
398
00:23:32.290 --> 00:23:33.520
Fear offense
399
00:23:33.520 --> 00:23:35.650
and negative opinions can have a stifling
400
00:23:35.650 --> 00:23:36.970
effect on your life.
401
00:23:36.970 --> 00:23:39.130
It's time for you to
push them out of the way
402
00:23:39.130 --> 00:23:41.200
and become Unstoppable.
403
00:23:41.200 --> 00:23:44.590

Friend,
434
00:24:59.430 --> 00:25:02.510
is that not amazing that God invites us
435
00:25:02.510 --> 00:25:07.100
to such a communion with him every day
436
00:25:07.100 --> 00:25:10.790
that he can say to us, you
need to leave this behind.
437
00:25:10.790 --> 00:25:15.050
You need to let this go,
and you need to take this.
438
00:25:15.050 --> 00:25:17.540
You need to let go of offense.
439
00:25:17.540 --> 00:25:22.370
You need to take very
close to you, forgiveness.
440
00:25:22.370 --> 00:25:24.620
You need to let go of fear,
441
00:25:24.620 --> 00:25:27.980
and you need to take a hold of courage.
442
00:25:27.980 --> 00:25:30.200
What a powerful God
443
00:25:30.200 --> 00:25:33.440
and a powerful relationship
that we have with him.
444
00:25:34.490 --> 00:25:36.440
Well, I want to pray for you, but
445
00:25:36.440 --> 00:25:40.820
before I pray for you to
help you in this journey,
446
00:25:40.820 --> 00:25:45.080
I again wanna offer to you Unstoppable
447
00:25:45.080 --> 00:25:49.370
because it's gonna encourage
you to keep pressing through.
448
00:25:51.050 --> 00:25:54.140
Others have pressed
through, others have faced
449
00:25:54.140 --> 00:25:58.580
very impossible situations,
and they kept pressing through
450
00:25:58.580 --> 00:26:01.880
and they got the prize, and that's for you
451
00:26:01.880 --> 00:26:03.740
and that's for me.
452
00:26:03.740 --> 00:26:07.190
Father, I thank you for my
dear precious friend today
453
00:26:07.190 --> 00:26:08.300
that's listening,
454
00:26:08.300 --> 00:26:10.340
and Lord Jesus, I thank you
455
00:26:10.340 --> 00:26:14.540
that you've given us the
Divine Holy Spirit on the
456
00:26:14.540 --> 00:26:18.710
inside, and he is the
helper and the comforter,
457
00:26:18.710 --> 00:26:22.160
and the one who makes
adjustments inside of us.
458
00:26:22.160 --> 00:26:26.300
And right now by your
presence, we say yes to you.
459
00:26:26.300 --> 00:26:30.230
Holy Spirit, make adjustments in us.
460
00:26:30.230 --> 00:26:34.430
We present ourselves to
you that living sacrifice
461
00:26:34.430 --> 00:26:35.570
to hear from you
462
00:26:35.570 --> 00:26:40.490
and make adjustments today
in the name of Jesus,
463
00:26:40.490 --> 00:26:45.450
we give you all the praise and
all the glory for your power
464
00:26:45.450 --> 00:26:50.370
and your commitment to us,
and we pray in the precious
465
00:26:50.370 --> 00:26:52.890
and mighty name of Jesus.
466
00:26:52.890 --> 00:26:56.190
Amen. Thank you for being with me
467
00:26:56.190 --> 00:26:58.500
and I'll see you on my next program.
468
00:26:59.520 --> 00:27:02.700
If you've never received
Jesus as your Savior
469
00:27:02.700 --> 00:27:07.700
and Lord, now is the time for
you to experience a new life
470
00:27:07.830 --> 00:27:10.080
Jesus has to give you.
471
00:27:10.080 --> 00:27:14.430
Pray this prayer with me right now; Lord,
472
00:27:14.430 --> 00:27:19.110
I repent of my sin and receive you as my Savior
473
00:27:19.110 --> 00:27:22.410
and Lord. Wash away my sin
474
00:27:22.410 --> 00:27:25.020
and make me completely new.
475
00:27:25.020 --> 00:27:27.390
I thank you that my sin is removed
476
00:27:27.390 --> 00:27:32.390
and Satan no longer has any
right to lay claim on me.
477
00:27:32.490 --> 00:27:37.490
I faithfully promise that
I will serve you as my Lord
478
00:27:37.500 --> 00:27:40.110
for the rest of my life.
479
00:27:40.110 --> 00:27:41.110
Amen.
480
00:27:44.310 --> 00:27:47.070
If you just prayed the
prayer of salvation with us,
481
00:27:47.070 --> 00:27:49.020
would you please let us know by going

We would love to connect with you.
484

Perhaps I have to do another test.
485
00:27:59.820 --> 00:28:02.550
The only thing to do is to wait.
486
00:28:05.610 --> 00:28:09.510
I wish things have gone another way. I wanna be healthy.
487
00:28:12.510 --> 00:28:15.780

support you, don't give up.
