00:00:01.320 --> 00:00:04.050
This program is made
possible by the giving
2
00:00:04.050 --> 00:00:08.100
of the God called partners
of Renner Ministries.
3
00:00:08.100 --> 00:00:11.310
Get ready for a teaching
that feeds your spirit
4
00:00:11.310 --> 00:00:14.880
and your mind, where the word is the anchor in
5
00:00:14.880 --> 00:00:16.860
uncertain times
6
00:00:16.860 --> 00:00:20.130
and doctrine doesn't bend to culture.
7
00:00:20.130 --> 00:00:21.570
We keep it simple,
8
00:00:21.570 --> 00:00:26.130
but dive deep revealing a
truth that strengthens us,
9
00:00:27.030 --> 00:00:28.920
a love that emboldens,
10
00:00:30.060 --> 00:00:32.190
and a mission that touches the world.
11
00:00:34.530 --> 00:00:36.090
Let's join Rick Renner.
12
00:00:38.700 --> 00:00:40.020
Welcome to today's program.
13
00:00:40.020 --> 00:00:41.760
My name is Rick Renner and my friends,
14
00:00:41.760 --> 00:00:46.230
today I'm gonna talk to you about being careful about weird
15
00:00:46.230 --> 00:00:47.970
prophetic voices.
16
00:00:47.970 --> 00:00:50.430
There's a lot of weird voices out there,
17
00:00:50.430 --> 00:00:53.220
especially on the internet,
18
00:00:53.220 --> 00:00:55.680
and you need to be
very, very careful about
19
00:00:55.680 --> 00:00:57.390
who you're listening to.
20
00:00:57.390 --> 00:01:00.900
And you need to know that you're really receiving teaching
21
00:01:00.900 --> 00:01:04.620
from people that you can trust, especially when it comes
22
00:01:04.620 --> 00:01:07.140
to issues related to the end times
23
00:01:07.140 --> 00:01:09.690
because there's a lot of
strange stuff out there.
24
00:01:09.690 --> 00:01:11.610
But today is really going to help you,
25
00:01:11.610 --> 00:01:14.760
and I'm going to tell you
what I do to determine whether
26
00:01:14.760 --> 00:01:16.920
or not I should be listening to one person
27
00:01:16.920 --> 00:01:18.720
or turning them off.
28
00:01:18.720 --> 00:01:20.730
And I pray that it's going to help you,
29
00:01:20.730 --> 00:01:22.200
but please order the whole series,
30
00:01:22.200 --> 00:01:24.090
which is called The Rapture, the Antichrist,
31
00:01:24.090 --> 00:01:25.800
and the Tribulation.
32
00:01:25.800 --> 00:01:27.600
It is 20 parts.
33
00:01:27.600 --> 00:01:28.890
I think it's really helpful
34
00:01:28.890 --> 00:01:31.830
and you need to know what the
Bible says about the rapture
35
00:01:31.830 --> 00:01:33.720
of the antichrist and the tribulation.
36
00:01:33.720 --> 00:01:35.430
And it comes with a study guide
37
00:01:35.430 --> 00:01:37.290
that has all the points,
all the principles,
38
00:01:37.290 --> 00:01:39.780
everything in the series is in the study guide,
39
00:01:39.780 --> 00:01:41.910
so you can read all the
material while you're seeing
40
00:01:41.910 --> 00:01:43.350
or hearing the series
41
00:01:43.350 --> 00:01:45.600
and really get it down deep inside you.
42
00:01:45.600 --> 00:01:48.750
And please order my book, which is called, The Rapture
43
00:01:48.750 --> 00:01:50.730
the Antichrist, and the Tribulation,
44
00:01:50.730 --> 00:01:55.350
An End-Times Countdown and What Happens Next?
45
00:01:55.350 --> 00:01:57.150
And there on the cover, we have a picture
46
00:01:57.150 --> 00:02:00.360
of the angel blowing the trumpet, the rapture of the church,
47
00:02:00.360 --> 00:02:02.130
and the appearance of the antichrist.
48
00:02:02.130 --> 00:02:04.860
What does the Bible say
about all of these things?
49
00:02:04.860 --> 00:02:07.110
Well, the Bible is very, very clear,
50
00:02:07.110 --> 00:02:11.130
and you do not need to be in
confusion about these things
51
00:02:11.130 --> 00:02:12.990
because the Bible is so clear about it
52
00:02:12.990 --> 00:02:14.580
and that's why I wrote the book.
53
00:02:14.580 --> 00:02:16.140
But hey, if you need prayer,
54
00:02:16.140 --> 00:02:17.670
please reach out to us right now.
55
00:02:17.670 --> 00:02:19.590
Just call the number on the screen
56
00:02:19.590 --> 00:02:21.750
and write it down so you always have
57
00:02:21.750 --> 00:02:24.420
that number nearby in
case you need prayer.
58
00:02:24.420 --> 00:02:26.160
And know that we are here to pray for you
59
00:02:26.160 --> 00:02:27.960
and we wanna pray for you.
60
00:02:27.960 --> 00:02:30.210
Anything that's on your
heart, we would love
61
00:02:30.210 --> 00:02:31.740
to pray with you about it.
62
00:02:31.740 --> 00:02:34.260
And we're told in 1 John 5:14
63
00:02:34.260 --> 00:02:37.860
& 15, that if we pray anything according to God's will,
64
00:02:37.860 --> 00:02:39.450
he will hear us. Well
65
00:02:39.450 --> 00:02:41.520
God's will is the Bible.
66
00:02:41.520 --> 00:02:44.040
You gotta pray according
to the scriptures;
67
00:02:44.040 --> 00:02:46.890
that opens the ear of God to prayer.
68
00:02:46.890 --> 00:02:48.900
God doesn't just listen to tears,
69
00:02:48.900 --> 00:02:50.670
he doesn't just listen to passion.
70
00:02:50.670 --> 00:02:52.740
He listens for his word.
71
00:02:52.740 --> 00:02:55.560
And that's why the Bible says
if we pray anything according
72
00:02:55.560 --> 00:02:58.560
to his will, his word,
that's what he hears.
73
00:02:58.560 --> 00:03:00.040
He hears us.
74
00:03:00.040 --> 00:03:02.860
And if he hears us, then we
know we have the petitions
75
00:03:02.860 --> 00:03:04.330
that we request of him.
76
00:03:04.330 --> 00:03:09.010
So we'll pray, scripturally, God will hear, God will answer,
77
00:03:09.010 --> 00:03:11.710
and Jesus will do what needs
to be done in your life.
78
00:03:11.710 --> 00:03:13.330
And we will all rejoice.
79
00:03:13.330 --> 00:03:16.840
And when he moves in your
life, please contact us again
80
00:03:16.840 --> 00:03:21.220
with a testimony because we
want to hear what he did.
81
00:03:21.220 --> 00:03:24.160
But hey, reach for your Bible.
82
00:03:24.160 --> 00:03:25.900
And today we're going to go to
83
00:03:25.900 --> 00:03:27.370
2 Thessalonians 2.
84
00:03:27.370 --> 00:03:28.720
We're going to begin in verse 2.
85
00:03:28.720 --> 00:03:31.090
We always use the Bible in this program,
86
00:03:31.090 --> 00:03:32.710
and we're believing for a revival
87
00:03:32.710 --> 00:03:34.780
of the Bible in the church.
88
00:03:34.780 --> 00:03:38.290
But when we come to the book of 2 Thessalonians,
89
00:03:38.290 --> 00:03:41.980
the Church of Thessalonica was quite upset. In
90
00:03:41.980 --> 00:03:43.030
1 Thessalonians,
91
00:03:43.030 --> 00:03:45.310
Paul talked to them about the rapture of the church
92
00:03:45.310 --> 00:03:47.020
and the resurrection of the dead.
93
00:03:47.020 --> 00:03:50.020
He told them Jesus would
be coming very soon.
94
00:03:50.020 --> 00:03:53.320
And someone in the church of Thessalonica began
95
00:03:53.320 --> 00:03:55.750
to teach weird revelations.
96
00:03:55.750 --> 00:03:58.930
They actually began to proclaim that the rapture happened
97
00:03:58.930 --> 00:04:00.520
and they had all been left behind
98
00:04:00.520 --> 00:04:02.950
and the day of the Lord had begun.
99
00:04:02.950 --> 00:04:05.110
Well, the day of the
Lord is the tribulation.
100
00:04:05.110 --> 00:04:07.480
And someone was saying to them,
101
00:04:07.480 --> 00:04:10.270
we're already in the tribulation.
102
00:04:10.270 --> 00:04:14.110
The Lord secretly came. It was a clandestine operation.
103
00:04:14.110 --> 00:04:15.340
He took some with him.
104
00:04:15.340 --> 00:04:17.200
The rest of us have all been left behind.
105
00:04:17.200 --> 00:04:19.360
Now the day of the Lord is here.
106
00:04:19.360 --> 00:04:21.880
We are in the great tribulation.
107
00:04:22.750 --> 00:04:26.800
And it was really upsetting the church.
108
00:04:26.800 --> 00:04:29.290
So Paul wrote to them to bring a correction
109
00:04:29.290 --> 00:04:31.150
to this nonsense.
110
00:04:31.150 --> 00:04:32.410
Now, I want to tell you there's a lot
111
00:04:32.410 --> 00:04:34.360
of nonsense out there today.
112
00:04:34.360 --> 00:04:38.470
If you go to YouTube, it is filled with spiritual nonsense.
113
00:04:38.470 --> 00:04:41.860
I go there every day to see
what people are saying, just
114
00:04:41.860 --> 00:04:45.580
so I can be aware of what
people are hearing that needs
115
00:04:45.580 --> 00:04:47.230
to be corrected.
116
00:04:47.230 --> 00:04:51.160
But my friends, this is really
a serious issue in our own
117
00:04:51.160 --> 00:04:55.060
time and we need to be careful
of weird prophetic voices.
118
00:04:55.060 --> 00:04:58.120
That was true in the 1st Century. It is still true today.
119
00:04:58.120 --> 00:05:00.820
And in fact, the Bible teaches
us that as we come closer
120
00:05:00.820 --> 00:05:02.170
to the end of the age,
121
00:05:02.170 --> 00:05:04.990
we're gonna hear more
weirdness than in any other
122
00:05:04.990 --> 00:05:06.220
previous time in the church.
123
00:05:06.220 --> 00:05:08.350
I'm gonna show this to you
in the scripture today,
124
00:05:08.350 --> 00:05:11.200
but let's go to 2 Thessalonians 2:2,
125
00:05:11.200 --> 00:05:14.140
where Paul is addressing
the church of Thessalonica
126
00:05:14.140 --> 00:05:19.140
because they are so upset
by strange, wrong doctrine.
127
00:05:19.210 --> 00:05:23.740
And he says - That you be not soon shaken in mind
128
00:05:23.740 --> 00:05:28.480
or be troubled neither
by spirit, nor by word,
129
00:05:28.480 --> 00:05:31.840
nor by letter as from us as that the day
130
00:05:31.840 --> 00:05:34.330
of Christ is at hand.
131
00:05:34.330 --> 00:05:36.760
That's what someone was teaching - the
132
00:05:36.760 --> 00:05:37.930
day of the Lord has begun.
133
00:05:37.930 --> 00:05:39.100
We're now in the tribulation.
134
00:05:39.100 --> 00:05:42.880
We've missed the rapture,
and people were really upset.
135
00:05:42.880 --> 00:05:47.110
And Paul says that ye be
not soon shaken in mind.
136
00:05:47.110 --> 00:05:50.200
What do those 2 words, soon shaken, mean?
137
00:05:50.200 --> 00:05:53.285
Well, the word soon, is a form of the Greek word, tacheos.
138
00:05:53.285 --> 00:05:58.130
It means quickly as something
that happens very, very fast.
139
00:05:58.130 --> 00:06:02.060
And the 2nd word shaken, means to shake, to waver,
140
00:06:02.060 --> 00:06:04.130
to totter or to be moved.
141
00:06:04.130 --> 00:06:07.700
But the tense of these
words points to events
142
00:06:07.700 --> 00:06:10.250
that cause shock or alarm.
143
00:06:10.250 --> 00:06:12.140
And it refers to the occurrence
144
00:06:12.140 --> 00:06:16.100
or repeated occurrences so unexpected
145
00:06:16.100 --> 00:06:17.660
that it results in shock
146
00:06:17.660 --> 00:06:19.820
or distress that has the potential
147
00:06:19.820 --> 00:06:23.060
to throw people into a state of dismay.
148
00:06:23.060 --> 00:06:24.860
And this describes what was happening
149
00:06:24.860 --> 00:06:27.230
to the believers in Thessalonica.
150
00:06:27.230 --> 00:06:30.020
They were being thrown into a state of dismay.
151
00:06:30.020 --> 00:06:32.270
And Paul says in their mind.
152
00:06:32.270 --> 00:06:35.450
And the word mind, here is a form of the Greek word nous.
153
00:06:35.450 --> 00:06:38.120
And the word nous describes everything in the mind
154
00:06:38.120 --> 00:06:40.310
of the intellect, including your emotions.
155
00:06:40.310 --> 00:06:44.660
They were mentally shaken,
they were emotionally shaken.
156
00:06:44.660 --> 00:06:46.850
And I wanna tell you, it's very important
157
00:06:46.850 --> 00:06:49.250
who you give access to your mind
158
00:06:49.250 --> 00:06:52.130
and who you do not give
access to your mind.
159
00:06:52.130 --> 00:06:54.530
Your mind is the control
center of your life.
160
00:06:54.530 --> 00:06:57.590
And if peace is ruling your
mind, you're gonna be fine.
161
00:06:57.590 --> 00:06:59.120
But if you become soon shaken
162
00:06:59.120 --> 00:07:02.090
or distressed in your mind,
that distress is going
163
00:07:02.090 --> 00:07:04.130
to affect your whole life.
164
00:07:04.130 --> 00:07:07.070
And in fact, Paul goes on
to say, neither be troubled.
165
00:07:07.070 --> 00:07:09.740
And the word troubled is a form of the Greek word throeo,
166
00:07:09.740 --> 00:07:14.510
which depicts - an inward fright that causes a person
167
00:07:14.510 --> 00:07:17.540
to be filled with anxiety, fear,
168
00:07:17.540 --> 00:07:20.030
or worry. Even more,
169
00:07:20.030 --> 00:07:24.830
the Greek tense importantly points to an ongoing state
170
00:07:24.830 --> 00:07:25.970
of anxiety, fear,
171
00:07:25.970 --> 00:07:29.360
and worry that results from outward events
172
00:07:29.360 --> 00:07:31.850
that keep occurring again and again.
173
00:07:31.850 --> 00:07:35.240
And the Greek tense suggests events
174
00:07:35.240 --> 00:07:38.540
that are occurring one on
top of the next with no pause
175
00:07:38.540 --> 00:07:42.020
between them with a cumulative
effective causing one
176
00:07:42.020 --> 00:07:46.640 line:15%
to be shocked, debilitated,
and nerve-racked.
177
00:07:46.640 --> 00:07:51.410 line:15%
It conveys the idea of one
who is jumpy or nervous
178
00:07:51.410 --> 00:07:55.610
and it pictures people who
are in a state of panic.
179
00:07:56.690 --> 00:07:59.540
Well, that's what happened to
the Church of Thessalonica.
180
00:07:59.540 --> 00:08:01.190
They were in a state of panic
181
00:08:01.190 --> 00:08:03.680
because they were hearing
the rapture happened
182
00:08:03.680 --> 00:08:05.300
and they missed it and
that they were living
183
00:08:05.300 --> 00:08:06.800
in the tribulation.
184
00:08:06.800 --> 00:08:10.310
And Paul says that you be
not soon shaken in mind
185
00:08:10.310 --> 00:08:14.270
or be troubled or panicked,
neither by spirit,
186
00:08:14.270 --> 00:08:17.420
nor by word, nor by letter as from us.
187
00:08:17.420 --> 00:08:20.900
But the word spirit is a form of the Greek word pneumatos.
188
00:08:20.900 --> 00:08:22.400
It means spirit.
189
00:08:22.400 --> 00:08:25.310
But in this particular context, it refers
190
00:08:25.310 --> 00:08:27.170
to spiritual experiences
191
00:08:27.170 --> 00:08:30.350
or spiritual utterances that are out of sync
192
00:08:30.350 --> 00:08:32.540
with the teaching of the word of God.
193
00:08:32.540 --> 00:08:35.390
It pictures ecstatic utterances.
194
00:08:35.390 --> 00:08:39.110
And Paul uses it here to
refer to strange utterances,
195
00:08:39.110 --> 00:08:40.820
weird revelations,
196
00:08:40.820 --> 00:08:44.150
or you refer proclamations that have no root
197
00:08:44.150 --> 00:08:47.840
in sound doctrine and that produce the negative effects
198
00:08:47.840 --> 00:08:50.360
of spiritually upsetting people.
199
00:08:51.410 --> 00:08:53.750
Now, I look at a lot of stuff on YouTube
200
00:08:53.750 --> 00:08:56.130
and on the internet, and
honestly, there's a lot
201
00:08:56.130 --> 00:08:57.690
of stuff on there that could upset you.
202
00:08:57.690 --> 00:09:00.570
It could throw you into a state of panic.
203
00:09:00.570 --> 00:09:03.180
And you're gonna see in just
a moment, it's very important
204
00:09:03.180 --> 00:09:05.670
that you know who you are listening to.
205
00:09:05.670 --> 00:09:07.560
What do you know about these people?
206
00:09:07.560 --> 00:09:10.830
Don't just open yourself to
everyone that comes online
207
00:09:10.830 --> 00:09:12.120
or comes on television.
208
00:09:12.120 --> 00:09:14.610
You need to know who is speaking the word of God to you:
209
00:09:14.610 --> 00:09:17.130
who they are, where they come
from, what do they believe?
210
00:09:17.130 --> 00:09:20.285
You need to know something
about those who speak to you.
211
00:09:20.285 --> 00:09:21.635
You need to know something about me,
212
00:09:21.635 --> 00:09:23.940
and I hope you've learned a lot about me.
213
00:09:23.940 --> 00:09:27.360
But it goes on to say
neither be disturbed by word.
214
00:09:27.360 --> 00:09:29.370
And the word - word - here the Greek word logos,
215
00:09:29.370 --> 00:09:32.310
it describes words that
which is being taught.
216
00:09:32.310 --> 00:09:34.170
And here Paul says, don't listen
217
00:09:34.170 --> 00:09:37.770
to unbalanced teaching
about the end-times.
218
00:09:37.770 --> 00:09:41.010
And then he says neither
by a letter as from us.
219
00:09:41.010 --> 00:09:43.770
And the word, letter, is the Greek word for an epistle.
220
00:09:43.770 --> 00:09:47.610
And Paul says, Hey, there's
some folks out there who are
221
00:09:47.610 --> 00:09:50.730
so impure, they would even send a letter
222
00:09:50.730 --> 00:09:54.540
and say that we wrote it
as though it was from us.
223
00:09:54.540 --> 00:09:56.910
Or they might even say
that we have endorsed
224
00:09:56.910 --> 00:09:58.860
what they are teaching.
225
00:09:58.860 --> 00:10:01.470
Paul says, there's so many characters out there
226
00:10:01.470 --> 00:10:05.460
and you need to be careful
of who you are listening to.
227
00:10:05.460 --> 00:10:08.190
Now, we live in a day
228
00:10:08.190 --> 00:10:11.970
because of media that
there's access to all kinds
229
00:10:11.970 --> 00:10:15.420
of information and
people have access to us.
230
00:10:15.420 --> 00:10:17.490
And I'm very grateful
for media ministries.
231
00:10:17.490 --> 00:10:18.960
That's what I am. That's why you're
232
00:10:18.960 --> 00:10:20.760
listening to me right now.
233
00:10:20.760 --> 00:10:23.970
But I will tell you that I
personally am very selective
234
00:10:23.970 --> 00:10:28.740
about who I allow into my
space and into our home.
235
00:10:28.740 --> 00:10:30.690
Denise and I often watch Christian TV,
236
00:10:30.690 --> 00:10:34.200
and when some programs
come on, I turn them off.
237
00:10:34.200 --> 00:10:37.440
I am not going to let that
voice come into my home.
238
00:10:37.440 --> 00:10:39.000
Now, don't ask me who it is
239
00:10:39.000 --> 00:10:41.100
because I'm not going to tell you.
240
00:10:41.100 --> 00:10:43.740
But when particular
voices come into our home
241
00:10:43.740 --> 00:10:47.160
through television or through
the internet, we turn them off
242
00:10:47.160 --> 00:10:51.000
because I'm not going
to allow that unbelief
243
00:10:51.000 --> 00:10:52.200
or I'm not going to allow
244
00:10:52.200 --> 00:10:56.340
that unbalanced teaching
come into our space
245
00:10:56.340 --> 00:10:58.860
because I value me.
246
00:10:58.860 --> 00:11:02.190
I value my mind, I value my heart.
247
00:11:02.190 --> 00:11:06.600
And I am very, very selective about who feeds me.
248
00:11:06.600 --> 00:11:10.740
And you need to be very selective about who feeds you.
249
00:11:10.740 --> 00:11:14.550
In fact, in 1 Thessalonians 5:12,
250
00:11:14.550 --> 00:11:17.910
Paul wrote - And we beseech you brethren.
251
00:11:17.910 --> 00:11:20.130
That word beseech, means we implore,
252
00:11:20.130 --> 00:11:21.510
which means this was very important.
253
00:11:21.510 --> 00:11:25.590
We beseech you, we implore you brethren to know them,
254
00:11:25.590 --> 00:11:27.990
which labor among you.
255
00:11:27.990 --> 00:11:30.840
And that word know, The Greek word eido, means to inspect,
256
00:11:30.840 --> 00:11:32.280
to know, to perceive.
257
00:11:32.280 --> 00:11:35.850
It means you're supposed to know something about the people
258
00:11:35.850 --> 00:11:38.400
that are feeding you the word of God.
259
00:11:38.400 --> 00:11:41.010
You need to know who they
are, where are they from?
260
00:11:41.010 --> 00:11:43.380
Who are their friends?
Who do they run with?
261
00:11:43.380 --> 00:11:46.440
What are the non-negotiable
tenets of their faith?
262
00:11:46.440 --> 00:11:48.690
You should know those things
263
00:11:48.690 --> 00:11:50.100
before you allow somebody
264
00:11:50.100 --> 00:11:52.890
to regularly feed you the word of God.
265
00:11:52.890 --> 00:11:56.110
So want to ask you, what do
you know about the people
266
00:11:56.110 --> 00:11:59.770
that you're regularly
allowing into your space?
267
00:11:59.770 --> 00:12:02.530
My friends, this is very, very important.
268
00:12:02.530 --> 00:12:05.080
God has made you the
guardian of your mind.
269
00:12:05.080 --> 00:12:07.750
He's made you the guardian of your heart,
270
00:12:07.750 --> 00:12:10.960
and you have a responsibility
to make sure you're listening
271
00:12:10.960 --> 00:12:14.650
to that which is going to produce a healthy state of being
272
00:12:14.650 --> 00:12:17.290
and not to teaching,
which is gonna mess you up
273
00:12:17.290 --> 00:12:19.540
or throw you into a state of panic.
274
00:12:19.540 --> 00:12:21.640
This is very, very important.
275
00:12:21.640 --> 00:12:25.240
And when you finally find
somebody that you can trust,
276
00:12:25.240 --> 00:12:27.280
support them with your prayers,
277
00:12:27.280 --> 00:12:28.840
support them with your finances.
278
00:12:28.840 --> 00:12:29.980
They need your finances
279
00:12:29.980 --> 00:12:32.620
because it takes a lot
of money to do ministry.
280
00:12:32.620 --> 00:12:34.300
Get behind them.
281
00:12:34.300 --> 00:12:36.370
But you need to value yourself enough
282
00:12:36.370 --> 00:12:38.800
that you know something about those
283
00:12:38.800 --> 00:12:41.650
that are teaching you the word of God.
284
00:12:41.650 --> 00:12:45.100
We have a responsibility to use our head
285
00:12:45.100 --> 00:12:47.410
and to keep our head on straight
286
00:12:47.410 --> 00:12:50.680
and not just to give
ourselves to every weird thing
287
00:12:50.680 --> 00:12:52.030
that comes along.
288
00:12:52.030 --> 00:12:55.330
Now, I want to give
you our personal story.
289
00:12:55.330 --> 00:12:58.600
Many years ago, I was
ministering in Siberia.
290
00:12:58.600 --> 00:13:00.430
We had traveled a long, long time.
291
00:13:00.430 --> 00:13:03.970
And when we finally landed in
the city that we had flown to,
292
00:13:04.810 --> 00:13:06.910
we were downtown and I was hungry
293
00:13:06.910 --> 00:13:08.470
and I really wanted to eat.
294
00:13:08.470 --> 00:13:11.680
I could feel my appetite, and I saw a stolovaya.
295
00:13:11.680 --> 00:13:13.930
Well, the word stolovaya describes a cafeteria,
296
00:13:13.930 --> 00:13:16.990
but it's an old Soviet style cafeteria,
297
00:13:16.990 --> 00:13:19.480
and they're not the most
healthy places to eat,
298
00:13:19.480 --> 00:13:21.280
but I just love stolovayas.
299
00:13:21.280 --> 00:13:23.590
So I said to my traveling buddy, let's go in here
300
00:13:23.590 --> 00:13:25.060
and let's eat in this stolovaya.
301
00:13:25.060 --> 00:13:29.080
So we went in and I knew
by looking at the place
302
00:13:29.080 --> 00:13:30.940
that we should not eat there.
303
00:13:30.940 --> 00:13:32.020
The floors were dirty.
304
00:13:33.070 --> 00:13:35.920
The utensils didn't look like
they were completely clean.
305
00:13:36.820 --> 00:13:39.880
I wasn't sure how well the
dishes had been washed,
306
00:13:40.840 --> 00:13:44.350
but I allowed my appetite
307
00:13:44.350 --> 00:13:46.300
to overrule my common sense.
308
00:13:47.260 --> 00:13:50.830
And even though I knew
by looking at the place,
309
00:13:50.830 --> 00:13:54.640
it was probably not a place
where we should be eating,
310
00:13:54.640 --> 00:13:57.340
it smelled really good.
311
00:13:57.340 --> 00:14:02.020
So I got in line at the cafeteria, got my food, sat down,
312
00:14:02.020 --> 00:14:06.220
I dove into my food and oh, it
was so good, but guess what?
313
00:14:06.220 --> 00:14:10.030
I got sick. In fact, I
got a form of hepatitis.
314
00:14:10.030 --> 00:14:13.150
You know why? Because the plates were dirty,
315
00:14:13.150 --> 00:14:14.560
the utensils were dirty.
316
00:14:14.560 --> 00:14:18.340
My gut instinct said to me, do not eat here.
317
00:14:19.240 --> 00:14:22.270
And if I had listened to my
instinct, I would've said
318
00:14:22.270 --> 00:14:25.150
to my friend, let's go somewhere more clean to eat.
319
00:14:25.150 --> 00:14:26.800
But I allowed my appetite
320
00:14:26.800 --> 00:14:30.070
to speak louder than my gut instinct,
321
00:14:30.070 --> 00:14:32.680
and I ate what was not healthy for me.
322
00:14:33.610 --> 00:14:35.170
And as a result, I got sick
323
00:14:35.170 --> 00:14:37.330
and I had to deal with
it for a long, long time
324
00:14:37.330 --> 00:14:39.010
before I fully got well.
325
00:14:40.210 --> 00:14:43.690
But my gut said to me, do not eat this.
326
00:14:45.220 --> 00:14:49.210
In the same way, the Holy Spirit lives on the inside of you.
327
00:14:50.110 --> 00:14:54.110
And if you will listen to
him, he will say to you,
328
00:14:54.110 --> 00:14:55.310
do not eat this.
329
00:14:56.390 --> 00:15:00.140
Do not pull a chair up to this
table. Do not listen to this.
330
00:15:00.140 --> 00:15:03.320
Turn that off. Don't allow
that into your space.
331
00:15:03.320 --> 00:15:05.090
Don't eat of that food.
332
00:15:05.090 --> 00:15:06.770
The Holy Spirit will speak
333
00:15:06.770 --> 00:15:10.190
to you if you will listen
334
00:15:11.030 --> 00:15:13.250
and lemme tell you something else - use your head.
335
00:15:14.270 --> 00:15:15.830
You know, if you walk into a restaurant
336
00:15:15.830 --> 00:15:18.200
and it's really, really dirty,
you go into the bathroom,
337
00:15:18.200 --> 00:15:19.550
it's just filthy, filthy dirty,
338
00:15:19.550 --> 00:15:23.510
and you know the workers are
using that same bathroom,
339
00:15:23.510 --> 00:15:25.670
the whole place is just unsanitary.
340
00:15:25.670 --> 00:15:28.490
You know, that's probably not a place
341
00:15:28.490 --> 00:15:30.440
where you should be eating.
342
00:15:30.440 --> 00:15:32.570
I'll never forget years ago,
343
00:15:32.570 --> 00:15:35.210
I went into a fast food restaurant in the United States.
344
00:15:35.210 --> 00:15:37.670
I wanted a sandwich,
345
00:15:37.670 --> 00:15:40.700
and the guy was cutting the
food for a previous customer
346
00:15:40.700 --> 00:15:41.960
and he cut his hand
347
00:15:41.960 --> 00:15:44.990
and the blood just squirt
all over the place.
348
00:15:44.990 --> 00:15:47.300
Well, he just kind of wiped
it away and looked at me
349
00:15:47.300 --> 00:15:48.380
and said, now what would you like?
350
00:15:48.380 --> 00:15:50.870
And he was gonna make me a sandwich with
351
00:15:50.870 --> 00:15:52.430
that blood there on the counter.
352
00:15:53.330 --> 00:15:55.100
And I said, you know, I,
353
00:15:55.100 --> 00:15:56.510
I don't think I want to eat anything.
354
00:15:56.510 --> 00:15:59.180
After all, I got up and
got out of that place.
355
00:15:59.180 --> 00:16:03.140
I had enough sense to know
that was not a sanitary place
356
00:16:03.140 --> 00:16:06.230
and I should not be eating there.
357
00:16:06.230 --> 00:16:08.960
And likewise, spiritually,
358
00:16:08.960 --> 00:16:11.240
if you sense there's something unclean,
359
00:16:12.470 --> 00:16:14.690
or if you look around
in in a spiritual sense,
360
00:16:14.690 --> 00:16:16.670
the floors are dirty
and the plates are dirty
361
00:16:16.670 --> 00:16:18.080
and you just feel things are not
362
00:16:18.080 --> 00:16:19.280
as clean as they ought to be,
363
00:16:19.280 --> 00:16:21.020
get up and get out of there.
364
00:16:21.020 --> 00:16:24.830
Don't sit down and just eat by faith
365
00:16:24.830 --> 00:16:26.060
and then consume something
366
00:16:26.060 --> 00:16:28.610
that's gonna make you spiritually sick.
367
00:16:28.610 --> 00:16:33.020
Use your eyes, use your head.
Keep your head on straight.
368
00:16:33.020 --> 00:16:35.930
You need to be very valuing of yourself
369
00:16:35.930 --> 00:16:38.630
and what you put into you.
370
00:16:38.630 --> 00:16:39.650
Don't sit there
371
00:16:39.650 --> 00:16:41.750
and eat by faith. My friends,
372
00:16:41.750 --> 00:16:43.040
you don't have to eat by faith.
373
00:16:43.040 --> 00:16:44.690
If you know it's bad food, get up
374
00:16:44.690 --> 00:16:48.620
and go somewhere else where
there is spiritual food
375
00:16:48.620 --> 00:16:49.760
that you can trust
376
00:16:49.760 --> 00:16:51.770
and oh, that is my prayer
377
00:16:51.770 --> 00:16:54.320
that I bring you teaching you can trust.
378
00:16:54.320 --> 00:16:56.840
That is the prayer that I pray every day
379
00:16:56.840 --> 00:16:59.030
because it is such an
awesome responsibility
380
00:16:59.030 --> 00:17:00.380
to sit here and speak to you
381
00:17:00.380 --> 00:17:03.230
the word of God. Proverbs 10:21 says, The lips
382
00:17:03.230 --> 00:17:04.460
of the righteous feed many.
383
00:17:04.460 --> 00:17:07.010
And I understand that
what I've put on the table
384
00:17:07.010 --> 00:17:09.380
for God's people is very, very serious.
385
00:17:09.380 --> 00:17:13.700
And God requires me to
provide teaching that is sound
386
00:17:13.700 --> 00:17:15.020
and is healthy and
387
00:17:15.020 --> 00:17:18.410
that will produce a good
spiritual state of being.
388
00:17:18.410 --> 00:17:21.170
But you need to value
yourself enough to get up
389
00:17:21.170 --> 00:17:25.340
and get outta places where
the food is not safe.
390
00:17:25.340 --> 00:17:29.180
Now, my friends, this is really what Paul meant when he said
391
00:17:29.180 --> 00:17:32.060
to know them that minister among you
392
00:17:32.060 --> 00:17:33.920
and that minister to you. You need
393
00:17:33.920 --> 00:17:36.380
to know something about them.
394
00:17:37.700 --> 00:17:40.370
The Church of Thessalonica was very upset.
395
00:17:41.570 --> 00:17:45.590
Somebody was bringing them
wrong spiritual teaching.
396
00:17:45.590 --> 00:17:47.030
They were eating teaching
397
00:17:47.030 --> 00:17:48.680
that was spiritually unhealthy for them.
398
00:17:48.680 --> 00:17:52.260
It was throwing them
into a state of panic.
399
00:17:53.790 --> 00:17:55.440
And again, there's a lot
of teaching out there,
400
00:17:55.440 --> 00:17:58.800
especially on the internet that could throw you into a state
401
00:17:58.800 --> 00:18:02.280
of dismay and panic about the end-times.
402
00:18:02.280 --> 00:18:04.860
Wow. But I wanna give you the RIV
403
00:18:06.270 --> 00:18:09.390
of 2 Thessalonians 2:2.
404
00:18:09.390 --> 00:18:12.780
Now it's long because the
RIV is an interpretation.
405
00:18:12.780 --> 00:18:13.980
It's quite expanded,
406
00:18:13.980 --> 00:18:17.190
but this is really a very good interpretation from the Greek
407
00:18:17.190 --> 00:18:21.970
text of 2 Thessalonians 2:2. Listen to this.
408
00:18:21.970 --> 00:18:24.480
Some things will be happening right
409
00:18:24.480 --> 00:18:28.440
before his coming that could
shake you up quite a bit.
410
00:18:28.440 --> 00:18:31.440
I'm referring to events
that would be so dramatic,
411
00:18:31.440 --> 00:18:35.520
they could really leave your
head spinning. Occurrences
412
00:18:35.520 --> 00:18:38.970
of such a serious nature that
many people will feel alarmed,
413
00:18:38.970 --> 00:18:42.000
panicked, intimidated and unnerved.
414
00:18:42.000 --> 00:18:43.080
Naturally speaking,
415
00:18:43.080 --> 00:18:45.390
these events could nearly
drive you over the brink
416
00:18:45.390 --> 00:18:48.120
emotionally, putting your nerves on edge
417
00:18:48.120 --> 00:18:52.230
and making you feel
apprehensive and insecure.
418
00:18:52.230 --> 00:18:56.190
And I wish that I could tell
you these incidents were going
419
00:18:56.190 --> 00:18:57.660
to be just a one shot deal,
420
00:18:57.660 --> 00:19:00.540
but when they finally get
rolling, they're going
421
00:19:00.540 --> 00:19:03.390
to keep coming and
coming one after another.
422
00:19:03.390 --> 00:19:08.070
And that's why you've got to
determine not to be shaken
423
00:19:08.070 --> 00:19:11.820
or moved by anything you see or hear.
424
00:19:11.820 --> 00:19:14.160
You need to get a grip on your mind
425
00:19:14.160 --> 00:19:17.610
and refuse to allow
yourselves to be traumatized
426
00:19:17.610 --> 00:19:19.140
by these events.
427
00:19:19.140 --> 00:19:22.890
If you let these things get
to you, it won't be too long
428
00:19:22.890 --> 00:19:24.960
until you're a nervous wreck.
429
00:19:24.960 --> 00:19:27.390
That's why you have to decide beforehand
430
00:19:27.390 --> 00:19:29.760
that you're not going to give in
431
00:19:29.760 --> 00:19:34.020
and allow fright to worm its way into your mind and emotions
432
00:19:34.020 --> 00:19:36.210
and run your whole life.
433
00:19:36.210 --> 00:19:39.030
And I also want to tell you not
434
00:19:39.030 --> 00:19:42.930
to be too surprised if people
start making weird spiritual
435
00:19:42.930 --> 00:19:45.660
proclamations and off the wall utterances
436
00:19:45.660 --> 00:19:49.200
during the time just
before the Lord comes.
437
00:19:49.200 --> 00:19:51.720
All kinds of strange
things are going to happen
438
00:19:51.720 --> 00:19:52.920
during those days.
439
00:19:52.920 --> 00:19:54.390
It's going to get so bizarre
440
00:19:54.390 --> 00:19:57.000
that you might even
receive a letter from some
441
00:19:57.000 --> 00:19:59.460
who claim the day of the
Lord has already come.
442
00:19:59.460 --> 00:20:03.210
Who knows? They might even
attach our name to it alleging
443
00:20:03.210 --> 00:20:04.680
to have our endorsement,
444
00:20:04.680 --> 00:20:09.570
or they might even send it
as if it was sent from us.
445
00:20:09.570 --> 00:20:12.360
That is the warning of the Apostle Paul.
446
00:20:12.360 --> 00:20:15.000
So we need to be careful
about who we listen to,
447
00:20:15.000 --> 00:20:16.980
what we consume,
448
00:20:16.980 --> 00:20:18.240
and not listen to anything
449
00:20:18.240 --> 00:20:20.580
that's just gonna upset us spiritually.
450
00:20:20.580 --> 00:20:23.370
That's not gonna help
you get along in life.
451
00:20:23.370 --> 00:20:25.740
Listen to what is gonna
build your faith, fill you
452
00:20:25.740 --> 00:20:27.180
with hope, my friends.
453
00:20:27.180 --> 00:20:30.150
And there's a lot of that
good, good teaching out there.
454
00:20:30.150 --> 00:20:32.280
So you identify those good places
455
00:20:32.280 --> 00:20:34.890
and that's where you need to be eating.
456
00:20:34.890 --> 00:20:39.090
And be careful of weird prophetic voices.
457
00:20:39.090 --> 00:20:41.550
I'll be back in just a moment
and I'm going to pray for you.
458
00:20:49.660 --> 00:20:50.740
Hey, this is Rick Renner
459
00:20:50.740 --> 00:20:53.650
and somebody has asked a really important question.
460
00:20:53.650 --> 00:20:57.250
Here it is - What if I'm praying very sincerely
461
00:20:57.250 --> 00:20:59.530
but my prayers are not answered?
462
00:20:59.530 --> 00:21:03.430
What's wrong? Well, it may be
that you're praying sincerely,
463
00:21:03.430 --> 00:21:05.260
but you're praying incorrectly.
464
00:21:05.260 --> 00:21:08.890
The Bible tells us very clearly in 1 John 5:14
465
00:21:08.890 --> 00:21:12.040
that if we pray anything according to his will.
466
00:21:12.040 --> 00:21:13.450
That means according to his word
467
00:21:13.450 --> 00:21:16.870
or according to scripture, he hears us.
468
00:21:16.870 --> 00:21:19.450
God doesn't hear us
because of our much asking.
469
00:21:19.450 --> 00:21:21.970
He doesn't even hear us
because of our sincerity.
470
00:21:21.970 --> 00:21:24.730
God is listening for his word.
471
00:21:24.730 --> 00:21:27.700
And God wants to know if
you're praying scripturally,
472
00:21:27.700 --> 00:21:29.260
if you're praying in agreement with
473
00:21:29.260 --> 00:21:31.480
what he has written in the Bible.
474
00:21:31.480 --> 00:21:35.350
And many people pray sincerely, but they pray incorrectly.
475
00:21:35.350 --> 00:21:37.690
And it's very important
if you want your prayers
476
00:21:37.690 --> 00:21:41.170
to be answered, that you
pray according to his will.
477
00:21:41.170 --> 00:21:43.780
And 1 John 5:14
478
00:21:43.780 --> 00:21:47.650
& 15 says, If we pray anything according to his will,
479
00:21:47.650 --> 00:21:51.580
he hears us and we will have the petitions which we have
480
00:21:51.580 --> 00:21:52.600
requested of him.
481
00:21:53.680 --> 00:21:57.010
Are you afraid of what will
happen at the end of the age?
482
00:21:57.010 --> 00:21:59.620
The Lord's return should not scare us,
483
00:21:59.620 --> 00:22:02.350
but instead comfort us.
484
00:22:02.350 --> 00:22:05.950

510
00:23:26.830 --> 00:23:28.120
Hey, this is Rick Renner,
511
00:23:28.120 --> 00:23:31.330
and right now I'm standing
in the reception area
512
00:23:31.330 --> 00:23:34.210
of the Tulsa Ministry Headquarters,
513
00:23:34.210 --> 00:23:37.330
and this building is just so wonderful.
514
00:23:37.330 --> 00:23:42.130
You know, the Bible tells us in Proverbs 10:21, The lips
515
00:23:42.130 --> 00:23:45.050
of the righteous feed many.
516
00:23:45.050 --> 00:23:47.690
And I know that is our assignment.
517
00:23:47.690 --> 00:23:51.950
God has called us to feed many
people the trusted teaching
518
00:23:51.950 --> 00:23:53.450
of the Bible.
519
00:23:53.450 --> 00:23:55.940
And together with you
and all of our partners,
520
00:23:55.940 --> 00:23:59.840
we really are taking the trusted teaching of the Word of God
521
00:23:59.840 --> 00:24:02.780
to the very ends of the earth.
522
00:24:02.780 --> 00:24:05.180
But this is the reception
part of the Tulsa building.
523
00:24:05.180 --> 00:24:06.950
And every day thousands
524
00:24:06.950 --> 00:24:10.850
of phone calls come into
this facility from people
525
00:24:10.850 --> 00:24:12.680
that are watching the program
526
00:24:12.680 --> 00:24:15.080
and who are reaching out for prayer.
527
00:24:15.080 --> 00:24:19.130
Right now, we've paid off
about 78% of this facility
528
00:24:19.130 --> 00:24:21.500
and that is just wonderful.
529
00:24:21.500 --> 00:24:23.450
But now we need to knock
it out of the ballpark.
530
00:24:23.450 --> 00:24:25.010
We need to finish this
531
00:24:25.010 --> 00:24:27.950
because when we're finished
paying off this facility,
532
00:24:27.950 --> 00:24:30.380
that frees up finances
533
00:24:30.380 --> 00:24:32.210
so we can take the teaching of the Bible
534
00:24:32.210 --> 00:24:35.420
to more places across
the face of the earth
535
00:24:35.420 --> 00:24:38.240
where people are crying out for someone
536
00:24:38.240 --> 00:24:40.550
to feed them the word of God.
537
00:24:40.550 --> 00:24:43.280
And so today, if you're not already a part
538
00:24:43.280 --> 00:24:46.280
of our giving team to pay off
this facility, I'm asking you
539
00:24:46.280 --> 00:24:50.300
to join us as a part of our
Ministry Expansion Project
540
00:24:50.300 --> 00:24:54.410
to pay off this facility and
we can say, done, finished,
541
00:24:54.410 --> 00:24:56.240
and give glory to God.
542
00:24:56.240 --> 00:24:58.520
But my friends, we can only do it with your help.
543
00:24:58.520 --> 00:25:01.670
So thank you if you're already part of the team,
544
00:25:01.670 --> 00:25:05.240
and if not yet part of the
team, please join us as a part
545
00:25:05.240 --> 00:25:07.400
of the Giving Team to pay off this facility
546
00:25:07.400 --> 00:25:09.260
so we can be finished with it
547
00:25:09.260 --> 00:25:12.140
and use these funds to
take the gospel further
548
00:25:12.140 --> 00:25:14.480
to other places across the world.
549
00:25:21.920 --> 00:25:23.630
Hey, I am so glad you've
been with me today.
550
00:25:23.630 --> 00:25:24.740
Today we've been looking at
551
00:25:24.740 --> 00:25:28.130
what Paul said about being
careful about listening
552
00:25:28.130 --> 00:25:30.290
to weird prophetic voices.
553
00:25:30.290 --> 00:25:32.750
Now, in addition to all the weird voices that are out there,
554
00:25:32.750 --> 00:25:36.470
there's a lot of good teaching out there that is available
555
00:25:36.470 --> 00:25:39.440
for you today, and you need to
be listening to good teaching
556
00:25:39.440 --> 00:25:42.110
that's gonna give you hope,
answer your questions,
557
00:25:42.110 --> 00:25:43.550
fill you with faith.
558
00:25:43.550 --> 00:25:46.580
Hey, we are anointed
to live in this period.
559
00:25:46.580 --> 00:25:48.020
This is exciting,
560
00:25:48.020 --> 00:25:49.790
and you need to be listening to teaching
561
00:25:49.790 --> 00:25:51.170
that's gonna build your faith
562
00:25:51.170 --> 00:25:55.760
and fill you with expectation. My friends, you can do it.
563
00:25:55.760 --> 00:25:57.050
You've been appointed
564
00:25:57.050 --> 00:26:00.050
and you've been anointed to
live in this time period.
565
00:26:00.050 --> 00:26:01.970
But I want you to order the whole series,
566
00:26:01.970 --> 00:26:03.830
which is called The Rapture, the Antichrist
567
00:26:03.830 --> 00:26:05.450
and the Tribulation.
568
00:26:05.450 --> 00:26:06.920
It's 20 parts.
569
00:26:06.920 --> 00:26:08.540
Comes with the study guide
570
00:26:08.540 --> 00:26:12.320
and please order the book, which is called The Rapture,
571
00:26:12.320 --> 00:26:16.130
the Antichrist and the Tribulation: an End-Times Countdown
572
00:26:16.130 --> 00:26:19.130
and What Happens Next? Cover to cover
573
00:26:19.130 --> 00:26:21.740
it's 464 pages.
574
00:26:21.740 --> 00:26:24.440
And my friends, it is
beautifully illustrated.
575
00:26:24.440 --> 00:26:26.630
It's gonna answer all your questions.
576
00:26:26.630 --> 00:26:29.120
It's gonna put you on
a rock solid foundation
577
00:26:29.120 --> 00:26:31.520
and give you hope and give you faith.
578
00:26:31.520 --> 00:26:33.770
But what's gonna happen between now
579
00:26:33.770 --> 00:26:36.260
and the rapture of the church.
580
00:26:36.260 --> 00:26:39.050
But you can order all these
things by going online
581
00:26:39.050 --> 00:26:41.720
or by giving us a call right now.
582
00:26:41.720 --> 00:26:44.370
And when you reach out to
us, let us know how to pray
583
00:26:44.370 --> 00:26:46.980
for you because we're
wanting to release our faith
584
00:26:46.980 --> 00:26:50.190
for the power of God to
be released into your life
585
00:26:50.190 --> 00:26:51.750
right now.
586
00:26:51.750 --> 00:26:52.830
In fact, put your hand on your
587
00:26:52.830 --> 00:26:54.510
heart, and I wanna pray for you.
588
00:26:54.510 --> 00:26:57.210
Father, in the name of Jesus, I thank you
589
00:26:57.210 --> 00:27:00.000
that you've appointed us to be victors.
590
00:27:00.000 --> 00:27:02.520
I thank you, Lord, we are not victims.
591
00:27:02.520 --> 00:27:05.790
We thank you that you've given
us power, the blood of Jesus,
592
00:27:05.790 --> 00:27:07.440
the Word of God, and we can sail
593
00:27:07.440 --> 00:27:11.190
through this season in victory in Jesus'
594
00:27:11.190 --> 00:27:13.680
name - Aman.
595
00:27:15.060 --> 00:27:16.230
I'll see you tomorrow,
596
00:27:16.230 --> 00:27:19.620
but until then, remember Ecclesiastes 8:4 says,
597
00:27:19.620 --> 00:27:24.030
"Where the word of a king is, there is power."
598
00:27:24.030 --> 00:27:26.280
If you've never received
Jesus as your Savior
599
00:27:26.280 --> 00:27:30.660
and Lord, now is the time for
you to experience a new life
600
00:27:30.660 --> 00:27:32.820
Jesus has to give you.
601
00:27:32.820 --> 00:27:36.900
Pray this prayer with me right now: Lord,
602
00:27:36.900 --> 00:27:40.920
I repent of my sin and
receive you as my Savior
603
00:27:40.920 --> 00:27:43.890
and Lord. Wash away my sin
604
00:27:43.890 --> 00:27:46.890
and make me completely new.
605
00:27:46.890 --> 00:27:50.790
I thank you that my sin is removed
606
00:27:50.790 --> 00:27:55.790
and Satan no longer has any
right to lay claim on me.
607
00:27:56.250 --> 00:28:00.240
I faithfully promise that
I will serve you as my Lord
608
00:28:00.240 --> 00:28:01.890
for the rest of my life.
609
00:28:02.820 --> 00:28:06.330
Amen. Thank you
610
00:28:06.330 --> 00:28:08.130
