00:00:00.960 --> 00:00:03.480
This program is made
possible by the giving
2
00:00:03.480 --> 00:00:07.380
of the God called partners
of Renner Ministries.
3
00:00:07.380 --> 00:00:09.390
This is Rick Renner and friend.
4
00:00:09.390 --> 00:00:12.270
I'm glad you've let me come
right to where you are today.
5
00:00:12.270 --> 00:00:14.520
I'm coming to you from my Moscow studio
6
00:00:14.520 --> 00:00:17.670
and today it's not just me.
7
00:00:17.670 --> 00:00:21.090
Today I have a guest joining
me from the United States
8
00:00:21.090 --> 00:00:23.280
and I'm talking about Rabbi Kirt Schneider
9
00:00:23.280 --> 00:00:26.850
who has a marvelous TV
program called Discovering
10
00:00:26.850 --> 00:00:27.990
the Jewish Jesus.
11
00:00:27.990 --> 00:00:31.800
I've watched him for years and
then in more recent years he
12
00:00:31.800 --> 00:00:33.090
and I and his wife, Cynthia
13
00:00:33.090 --> 00:00:35.160
and Denise, we all became friends.
14
00:00:35.160 --> 00:00:37.410
I love his ministry, I love his character
15
00:00:37.410 --> 00:00:40.140
and I really appreciate his walk with God.
16
00:00:40.140 --> 00:00:43.170
And this week he's teaching on my program
17
00:00:43.170 --> 00:00:44.550
decoding the Torah.
18
00:00:44.550 --> 00:00:47.010
It's five parts. It comes
with the study guide.
19
00:00:47.010 --> 00:00:50.580
And we're also offering
you this week his book,
20
00:00:50.580 --> 00:00:52.530
which is called, Decoding the Torah,
21
00:00:52.530 --> 00:00:55.530
Applying Ancient Wisdom in a Modern World.
22
00:00:55.530 --> 00:00:57.030
The back of the book says,
23
00:00:57.030 --> 00:00:59.070
Unlock the Torah's hidden treasures
24
00:00:59.070 --> 00:01:01.110
for a deeper walk with God.
25
00:01:01.110 --> 00:01:04.800
It's so good. But hey, let's let Rabbi begin
26
00:01:04.800 --> 00:01:08.820
to decode the Torah for us right now.
27
00:01:08.820 --> 00:01:12.270
Get ready for a teaching
that feeds your spirit
28
00:01:12.270 --> 00:01:15.660
and your mind where the
word is the anchor in
29
00:01:15.660 --> 00:01:17.640
uncertain times
30
00:01:17.640 --> 00:01:20.910
and doctrine doesn't bend to culture.
31
00:01:20.910 --> 00:01:22.350
We keep it simple,
32
00:01:22.350 --> 00:01:26.940
but dive deep revealing a
truth that strengthens us,
33
00:01:27.810 --> 00:01:29.700
a love that emboldens,
34
00:01:30.840 --> 00:01:32.550
and a mission that touches the
35
00:01:32.550 --> 00:01:36.150
world. Let's join
36
00:01:36.150 --> 00:01:37.150
Rick Renner.
37
00:01:38.670 --> 00:01:41.070
Welcome to today's program my friends.
38
00:01:41.070 --> 00:01:44.790
This is Rick Renner and I
have been waiting for you
39
00:01:44.790 --> 00:01:46.800
and not just me. Today,
40
00:01:46.800 --> 00:01:49.230
it's me and Rabbi Schneider
41
00:01:49.230 --> 00:01:51.420
and I'm so glad that he is with us
42
00:01:51.420 --> 00:01:54.690
and we're gonna be talking
to you about his book,
43
00:01:54.690 --> 00:01:56.370
Decoding the Torah.
44
00:01:56.370 --> 00:01:57.690
The subtitle says,
45
00:01:57.690 --> 00:02:01.260
Applying Ancient Wisdom in a Modern World.
46
00:02:01.260 --> 00:02:03.900
And when this book was
placed into my hands
47
00:02:03.900 --> 00:02:05.910
and it was given to me by Rabbi,
48
00:02:05.910 --> 00:02:08.340
it was like fireworks went
off on the inside of me.
49
00:02:08.340 --> 00:02:09.870
I was so excited.
50
00:02:09.870 --> 00:02:12.390
And when I began to take a
deep dive into this book,
51
00:02:12.390 --> 00:02:14.400
it did not disappoint me.
52
00:02:14.400 --> 00:02:18.450
There is so much in this
book that is feeding my heart
53
00:02:19.440 --> 00:02:22.860
from the 613 laws, which
are contained in the Torah,
54
00:02:22.860 --> 00:02:24.810
but he covers a hundred of them
55
00:02:24.810 --> 00:02:26.910
and he does what I didn't know how to do.
56
00:02:26.910 --> 00:02:29.280
He gives practical application
57
00:02:29.280 --> 00:02:32.640
to my Christian life from these laws
58
00:02:32.640 --> 00:02:33.960
and it is just wonderful.
59
00:02:33.960 --> 00:02:37.470
And Rabbi, I wanna say
welcome to today's program.
60
00:02:37.470 --> 00:02:39.060
A blessing to be with you, brother.
61
00:02:39.060 --> 00:02:41.940
You're a pioneer. - Well, I've been waiting
62
00:02:41.940 --> 00:02:44.310
to have you on my show and of course you
63
00:02:44.310 --> 00:02:46.140
and I talk by telephone regularly.
64
00:02:46.140 --> 00:02:48.780
I'm in Moscow, you're
there in the United States.
65
00:02:48.780 --> 00:02:52.170
Isn't it wonderful that technology allows us to connect?
66
00:02:52.170 --> 00:02:54.000
But I wanna tell you friend, Rabbi Schneider
67
00:02:54.000 --> 00:02:55.440
is the real deal.
68
00:02:55.440 --> 00:02:57.390
He has a program which is called,
69
00:02:57.390 --> 00:02:58.890
Discovering the Jewish Jesus.
70
00:02:58.890 --> 00:03:01.870
But I can tell you this
is a man of principle.
71
00:03:01.870 --> 00:03:04.600
This is a man of integrity,
really committed to the word
72
00:03:04.600 --> 00:03:07.180
of God and to reaching people for Jesus.
73
00:03:07.180 --> 00:03:09.850
He is a real evangelist.
74
00:03:09.850 --> 00:03:11.560
But Rabbi, I would like to talk
75
00:03:11.560 --> 00:03:14.020
to you about one law in this book.
76
00:03:14.020 --> 00:03:16.150
Is that okay? - Absolutely.
77
00:03:16.150 --> 00:03:19.900
And it is the law which is
called the Prohibition against
78
00:03:19.900 --> 00:03:22.030
Forbidden Mixtures.
79
00:03:22.030 --> 00:03:24.460
And it's found in Leviticus 19:19.
80
00:03:24.460 --> 00:03:26.770
And it says, you shall keep my statutes.
81
00:03:26.770 --> 00:03:30.310
You shall not let your cattle
breed with a different kind.
82
00:03:30.310 --> 00:03:33.970
You shall not sow your field
with two kinds of seed,
83
00:03:33.970 --> 00:03:37.060
nor shall you wear a garment
of cloth made of two kinds
84
00:03:37.060 --> 00:03:38.140
of material.
85
00:03:38.140 --> 00:03:41.530
And when I read about
this forbidden mixtures,
86
00:03:41.530 --> 00:03:45.160
my mind immediately went
back to the dawn of time
87
00:03:45.160 --> 00:03:47.530
when fallen angels descended into
88
00:03:47.530 --> 00:03:48.640
the atmosphere of the earth.
89
00:03:48.640 --> 00:03:51.730
And I cover this in my book,
which is called Fallen Angels,
90
00:03:51.730 --> 00:03:53.920
Giants, Monsters in the World Before the Flood.
91
00:03:53.920 --> 00:03:56.020
And these angels begin
92
00:03:56.020 --> 00:03:58.270
to have sexual relationships with women.
93
00:03:58.270 --> 00:04:01.030
This is all documented, it's all in my book.
94
00:04:01.030 --> 00:04:03.220
And the women became impregnated
95
00:04:03.220 --> 00:04:06.370
and they began to give birth to monsters,
96
00:04:06.370 --> 00:04:07.870
which were called Nephilim.
97
00:04:07.870 --> 00:04:09.880
And these were the giants
of the Old Testament.
98
00:04:09.880 --> 00:04:12.100
And that's why God had to send the flood.
99
00:04:12.100 --> 00:04:14.110
The Earth was filled with violence
100
00:04:14.110 --> 00:04:17.260
because of a forbidden mixture.
101
00:04:17.260 --> 00:04:20.200
And when I read this, that's
where my mind went to.
102
00:04:20.200 --> 00:04:23.170
But Rabbi, would you please comment on this particular law,
103
00:04:23.170 --> 00:04:26.740
the prohibition against forbidden mixtures.
104
00:04:26.740 --> 00:04:29.350
Well, first of all, that
is a debt on application of
105
00:04:29.350 --> 00:04:31.450
what the Lord's instruction is here.
106
00:04:31.450 --> 00:04:35.980
What the Lord is forbidding is
tampering with his creation.
107
00:04:35.980 --> 00:04:39.430
He is calling us to respect the boundaries
108
00:04:39.430 --> 00:04:44.230
that he has set forth as the architect of the created world.
109
00:04:44.230 --> 00:04:45.820
So in this particular law,
110
00:04:45.820 --> 00:04:49.120
the forbidden against different mixtures, he speaks first
111
00:04:49.120 --> 00:04:51.970
of all about cross cross-breeding animals.
112
00:04:51.970 --> 00:04:54.580
So an example of cross-breeding an animal would be
113
00:04:54.580 --> 00:04:55.900
a wolf dog.
114
00:04:55.900 --> 00:04:58.120
When people have taken a wolf and a dog
115
00:04:58.120 --> 00:05:01.245
and bred them to create this new species - It's
116
00:05:01.245 --> 00:05:03.670
something that God didn't make,
117
00:05:03.670 --> 00:05:05.530
something that God did not make.
118
00:05:05.530 --> 00:05:08.920
It violates the distinction of the species
119
00:05:08.920 --> 00:05:11.410
and of the distinctions within species
120
00:05:11.410 --> 00:05:13.510
that he built into his created world.
121
00:05:13.510 --> 00:05:15.190
We think that we're maybe just coming up
122
00:05:15.190 --> 00:05:16.990
with something ingenious,
123
00:05:16.990 --> 00:05:21.040
but somehow in his mind
he sees the danger of it.
124
00:05:21.040 --> 00:05:22.930
Even things that we
would think are harmless,
125
00:05:22.930 --> 00:05:26.830
like mixing two plants together like a tom toto,
126
00:05:26.830 --> 00:05:29.380
which is growing both a tomato
127
00:05:29.380 --> 00:05:32.380
and a potato from the same plant.
128
00:05:32.380 --> 00:05:34.450
We think this is okay, it's just science,
129
00:05:34.450 --> 00:05:35.590
it's just evolution.
130
00:05:35.590 --> 00:05:37.630
But God is saying, no, I don't want you
131
00:05:37.630 --> 00:05:40.360
to mix species together.
132
00:05:40.360 --> 00:05:44.830
Even something that is hard
to understand is the forbidden
133
00:05:44.830 --> 00:05:48.760
command to not wear a
garment made of both wool
134
00:05:48.760 --> 00:05:50.830
and linen together.
135
00:05:50.830 --> 00:05:53.470
Now, why would the Lord
not want his people
136
00:05:53.470 --> 00:05:56.770
to wear a garment made
of both wool and linen?
137
00:05:56.770 --> 00:05:57.950
So there's a couple answers.
138
00:05:57.950 --> 00:05:59.900
First I'm gonna give you an answer
139
00:05:59.900 --> 00:06:02.480
that comes from one stream of Judaism.
140
00:06:02.480 --> 00:06:04.370
One stream of Judaism says,
141
00:06:04.370 --> 00:06:07.010
concerning not wearing
a garment made of wool
142
00:06:07.010 --> 00:06:08.420
and linen together, they're saying,
143
00:06:08.420 --> 00:06:12.860
we don't exactly know why God gave us this law,
144
00:06:12.860 --> 00:06:14.330
but the highest form of love
145
00:06:14.330 --> 00:06:18.140
and devotion is to obey him
even when we don't understand
146
00:06:18.140 --> 00:06:22.790
why He would give us a law
about wearing a garment of
147
00:06:22.790 --> 00:06:23.990
wool and linen together.
148
00:06:23.990 --> 00:06:25.580
That's one stream of Judaism.
149
00:06:25.580 --> 00:06:28.130
Another stream of Judaism says that was
150
00:06:28.130 --> 00:06:32.690
because some idolatrous nations wore garments,
151
00:06:32.690 --> 00:06:35.600
clothing mixing wool and linen together.
152
00:06:35.600 --> 00:06:38.240
And so the Lord didn't want his people to dress
153
00:06:38.240 --> 00:06:41.150
or to look like the idolatrous nations.
154
00:06:41.150 --> 00:06:42.260
But the third,
155
00:06:42.260 --> 00:06:46.910
and I think the, the correct
interpretation of this law has
156
00:06:46.910 --> 00:06:51.260
to do once again with tampering with God's creation
157
00:06:51.260 --> 00:06:54.170
and not respecting the distinctives.
158
00:06:54.170 --> 00:06:58.250
It's interesting that
wool comes from an animal,
159
00:06:58.250 --> 00:07:00.650
from from a living being an animal,
160
00:07:00.650 --> 00:07:03.560
but linen comes from a plant.
161
00:07:03.560 --> 00:07:04.730
So mixing wool
162
00:07:04.730 --> 00:07:08.090
and linen together is kind
of mixing the plant kingdom
163
00:07:08.090 --> 00:07:10.160
and the animal kingdom together.
164
00:07:10.160 --> 00:07:12.860
When God wants his creation
165
00:07:12.860 --> 00:07:14.450
to reflect the order
166
00:07:14.450 --> 00:07:17.120
and the distinction in
which he created it.
167
00:07:18.260 --> 00:07:21.260
What the Lord is calling
us to do is to restrict
168
00:07:22.250 --> 00:07:26.840
our creativity so that we don't go beyond
169
00:07:26.840 --> 00:07:29.570
what he has built into the universe: not to tamper
170
00:07:29.570 --> 00:07:31.820
with his creation in a way
171
00:07:31.820 --> 00:07:36.290
that can unleash powers
like AI, for example,
172
00:07:36.290 --> 00:07:38.930
where man is now trying to create this new form
173
00:07:38.930 --> 00:07:42.110
of intelligence through technology.
174
00:07:42.110 --> 00:07:46.310
And mankind has no idea
that this new creation
175
00:07:46.310 --> 00:07:51.310
through manipulation of God's
created world, man has no idea
176
00:07:51.530 --> 00:07:53.390
what it's about to fall upon the world.
177
00:07:53.390 --> 00:07:55.370
And it's already falling upon the world
178
00:07:55.370 --> 00:07:56.720
through artificial intelligence.
179
00:07:56.720 --> 00:07:58.400
It is so huge, Rick,
180
00:07:58.400 --> 00:08:01.940
and I don't think anybody has any idea
181
00:08:01.940 --> 00:08:04.880
of what's coming even in the next 5-years.
182
00:08:06.290 --> 00:08:09.140
You know, if you read
Genesis, it says everything is
183
00:08:09.140 --> 00:08:11.330
to produce after its own kind.
184
00:08:12.170 --> 00:08:14.510
Well that's what's supposed to happen.
185
00:08:14.510 --> 00:08:16.520
But laws can be violated
186
00:08:16.520 --> 00:08:18.950
and today all kinds of
laws are being violated.
187
00:08:18.950 --> 00:08:22.130
And we know that in secret
laboratories around the world,
188
00:08:22.130 --> 00:08:25.460
they're trying to mix
human DNA with pig DNA,
189
00:08:25.460 --> 00:08:29.180
I mean they're just looking
to see what can we do?
190
00:08:29.180 --> 00:08:33.230
And they're really violating
the laws of nature.
191
00:08:33.230 --> 00:08:34.400
And just like in the days
192
00:08:34.400 --> 00:08:37.670
before the flood when those fallen angels mixed with women,
193
00:08:37.670 --> 00:08:40.250
it unleashed a horrible
thing in the earth.
194
00:08:40.250 --> 00:08:43.880
That's why God sent the
flood. He had to clean it up.
195
00:08:43.880 --> 00:08:47.150
And today, think about transhumanism.
196
00:08:47.150 --> 00:08:49.670
You know, in one sense it's
a good idea if you connect
197
00:08:49.670 --> 00:08:51.830
with a machine, it might
restore your sight.
198
00:08:51.830 --> 00:08:53.810
It may give you the
ability to use your hand
199
00:08:53.810 --> 00:08:55.650
that you haven't been able to,
200
00:08:55.650 --> 00:08:57.960
but the trans-humanists have a goal
201
00:08:57.960 --> 00:08:59.430
to take it to the next level.
202
00:08:59.430 --> 00:09:03.150
And that is to create a
brand new human species
203
00:09:03.150 --> 00:09:07.680
that is part computer, part technology, part human - Rabbi,
204
00:09:07.680 --> 00:09:10.770
where in the world is this going to go?
205
00:09:10.770 --> 00:09:13.350
And you can see why
God said don't do this.
206
00:09:13.350 --> 00:09:14.880
Yeah. You know, it's interesting Rick,
207
00:09:14.880 --> 00:09:19.500
in Daniel 12, Daniel gives a very
208
00:09:19.500 --> 00:09:21.750
colorful picture of
209
00:09:21.750 --> 00:09:23.670
what it's gonna look like
at the end of the age.
210
00:09:23.670 --> 00:09:25.290
He talks about the rapture,
211
00:09:25.290 --> 00:09:27.660
he talks about what's gonna
be happening on the earth.
212
00:09:27.660 --> 00:09:29.280
He talks about that
the prophet is gonna be
213
00:09:29.280 --> 00:09:30.870
sealed to the end of the age.
214
00:09:30.870 --> 00:09:33.330
But the last thing he
says in describing the end
215
00:09:33.330 --> 00:09:37.890
of the ages, that knowledge will increase.
216
00:09:37.890 --> 00:09:39.420
It's the information age,
217
00:09:39.420 --> 00:09:41.670
and all these things that
we're describing right now,
218
00:09:41.670 --> 00:09:43.950
transhumanism, AI intelligence,
219
00:09:43.950 --> 00:09:45.840
this is all wrapped up in knowledge.
220
00:09:45.840 --> 00:09:47.940
It all goes back to the tree
of the knowledge of good
221
00:09:47.940 --> 00:09:52.770
and evil, where Satan tempted
Eve with the fact that eating
222
00:09:52.770 --> 00:09:54.990
of this tree would somehow make her life better - right
223
00:09:54.990 --> 00:09:57.720
she'd know more, she'd feel better, et cetera.
224
00:09:57.720 --> 00:09:59.700
The same thing holds
true with these things
225
00:09:59.700 --> 00:10:02.340
that are being offered to humankind today.
226
00:10:02.340 --> 00:10:04.290
How AI's gonna make our lives better.
227
00:10:04.290 --> 00:10:05.640
And we can certainly see
228
00:10:05.640 --> 00:10:08.580
how it does make people's
lives better in some areas.
229
00:10:08.580 --> 00:10:10.680
That's why nothing's
gonna be able to stop it
230
00:10:10.680 --> 00:10:13.860
'cause it's doing so much
good in areas like healthcare,
231
00:10:13.860 --> 00:10:17.520
the development of drugs in
so many ways, AI is helping,
232
00:10:17.520 --> 00:10:19.230
but people don't understand.
233
00:10:19.230 --> 00:10:21.330
At the end of the day, it's Satan's bait
234
00:10:21.330 --> 00:10:23.790
because it's gonna keep people
from being authentically
235
00:10:23.790 --> 00:10:25.260
human anymore.
236
00:10:25.260 --> 00:10:27.210
It's gonna make people passive
237
00:10:27.210 --> 00:10:29.760
because people are gonna
stop relying on themselves
238
00:10:29.760 --> 00:10:31.020
and other human beings
239
00:10:31.020 --> 00:10:32.820
because AI's already beginning
240
00:10:32.820 --> 00:10:35.730
to do the everything
better than we can do it.
241
00:10:35.730 --> 00:10:37.980
And so I'm just telling you,
there is a blanket, this,
242
00:10:37.980 --> 00:10:41.340
this has to do with this law
of mixing things together.
243
00:10:41.340 --> 00:10:45.330
Rather it is tampering with God's creation and,
244
00:10:45.330 --> 00:10:48.630
and we are living in thick darkness.
245
00:10:48.630 --> 00:10:50.070
And it's just gonna grow heavier.
246
00:10:50.070 --> 00:10:52.320
That's why it's so
important to walk with God
247
00:10:52.320 --> 00:10:55.440
and to know these laws so we
can know how to walk with him
248
00:10:55.440 --> 00:10:58.830
and resist the temptation
and deception of the world.
249
00:10:58.830 --> 00:11:01.530
You know, Rabbi, before the flood, it was the time
250
00:11:01.530 --> 00:11:02.910
of transgression.
251
00:11:02.910 --> 00:11:04.590
They were transgressing boundaries.
252
00:11:04.590 --> 00:11:07.350
They were transgressing,
spiritual boundaries,
253
00:11:07.350 --> 00:11:09.840
transgressing, biological boundaries.
254
00:11:09.840 --> 00:11:12.540
It was transgression,
transgression, transgression,
255
00:11:12.540 --> 00:11:16.080
a deliberate violation of the rules.
256
00:11:16.080 --> 00:11:17.970
I was thinking about that one day.
257
00:11:17.970 --> 00:11:19.860
What is the big word right now?
258
00:11:19.860 --> 00:11:23.580
Trans, transgender, transhumanism,
259
00:11:23.580 --> 00:11:25.650
that word trans is the big word.
260
00:11:25.650 --> 00:11:29.580
Again, we're living in
the age of violation,
261
00:11:29.580 --> 00:11:32.940
but it's being presented
almost like when Satan,
262
00:11:32.940 --> 00:11:34.410
the serpent spoke to Eve.
263
00:11:35.520 --> 00:11:38.100
God knows in the day that you eat thereof,
264
00:11:38.100 --> 00:11:39.540
your eyes will be opened.
265
00:11:39.540 --> 00:11:43.950
And people are presenting
all of these trans to us
266
00:11:43.950 --> 00:11:48.090
as a new day, a new
a day of enlightenment.
267
00:11:48.090 --> 00:11:51.960
But this law says that we're not supposed
268
00:11:51.960 --> 00:11:54.760
to mix these together like this.
269
00:11:54.760 --> 00:11:56.140
Yeah, yeah. In fact,
270
00:11:56.140 --> 00:11:58.120
it's an interesting
rabbinic interpretation
271
00:11:58.120 --> 00:12:00.070
and Judistic.....colorful
272
00:12:00.070 --> 00:12:01.960
so our audience could
take this as they will,
273
00:12:01.960 --> 00:12:03.340
but it makes a point.
274
00:12:03.340 --> 00:12:06.820
Some of the ancient rabbis
taught that mixing wool
275
00:12:06.820 --> 00:12:10.330
and linen together, in other words, cross-breeding
276
00:12:10.330 --> 00:12:12.670
the distinctions that
got built into the world
277
00:12:12.670 --> 00:12:15.430
and trying to blur those
and blend those together.
278
00:12:15.430 --> 00:12:19.150
One rabbinic interpretation says that it's similar
279
00:12:19.150 --> 00:12:20.770
to releasing when you wear wool
280
00:12:20.770 --> 00:12:23.955
and linen together, it's similar to releasing
281
00:12:23.955 --> 00:12:25.630
the forces of Cain and Abel.
282
00:12:25.630 --> 00:12:29.230
And it's a very, it's a
very, a dangerous thing
283
00:12:29.230 --> 00:12:34.180
to unleash these demonic
spirits through the mixing
284
00:12:34.180 --> 00:12:36.820
of what was designed to be separate.
285
00:12:36.820 --> 00:12:39.940
So again, that's just a, it's
kind of a colorful allegory.
286
00:12:39.940 --> 00:12:43.660
I'm not suggesting that that
is a scientific reality,
287
00:12:43.660 --> 00:12:46.090
that we're unleashing the
forces of Cain and Abel and,
288
00:12:46.090 --> 00:12:47.860
and the spirit of murder, et cetera.
289
00:12:47.860 --> 00:12:49.360
But I am suggesting that we need
290
00:12:49.360 --> 00:12:51.610
to understand what's happening right now
291
00:12:51.610 --> 00:12:55.780
and we need to be mindful about how we're using technology.
292
00:12:55.780 --> 00:12:57.670
It is, as you said, it's trans,
293
00:12:57.670 --> 00:12:59.710
it's trans human intelligence
294
00:12:59.710 --> 00:13:03.130
to rely on artificial intelligence.
295
00:13:03.130 --> 00:13:05.080
And you know, I often think, Rick,
296
00:13:05.080 --> 00:13:07.090
what can I do to escape all this?
297
00:13:07.090 --> 00:13:09.340
Because it just keeps
on getting more and more
298
00:13:09.340 --> 00:13:10.900
and more and more intense.
299
00:13:10.900 --> 00:13:13.510
Our lives keep on getting
busier and busier and busier
300
00:13:13.510 --> 00:13:14.740
and busier and busier.
301
00:13:14.740 --> 00:13:16.630
We're getting sucked in more and more
302
00:13:16.630 --> 00:13:19.000
and more to relying on technology.
303
00:13:19.000 --> 00:13:21.070
And I think, Lord, where
can I go to escape all this?
304
00:13:21.070 --> 00:13:24.400
Is there a place I could just
move to and live in nature
305
00:13:24.400 --> 00:13:26.350
and be disconnected from the internet
306
00:13:26.350 --> 00:13:28.180
and be disconnected from my cell phone
307
00:13:28.180 --> 00:13:29.895
and be disconnected from all of it
308
00:13:29.895 --> 00:13:31.420
and just go back to the farm
309
00:13:31.420 --> 00:13:33.820
and just live in God's natural world?
310
00:13:33.820 --> 00:13:36.130
But you know, I don't,
I haven't really come up
311
00:13:36.130 --> 00:13:37.960
with a realistic way to do that.
312
00:13:37.960 --> 00:13:41.740
The only answer I know is to
get strong in God's word now
313
00:13:41.740 --> 00:13:44.980
to recognize what that
boundary is in my own life.
314
00:13:44.980 --> 00:13:47.680
For example, how can I use AI,
315
00:13:47.680 --> 00:13:49.810
for example, if I'm researching something
316
00:13:49.810 --> 00:13:53.590
and I have a question, I
can use AI there as a tool.
317
00:13:53.590 --> 00:13:56.140
But if I started anyway crossing that line
318
00:13:56.140 --> 00:14:01.000
and relating to AI as if
it's a person, then at
319
00:14:01.000 --> 00:14:03.940
that point I have fallen
under a great deception
320
00:14:03.940 --> 00:14:05.920
and I'm being sucked into darkness.
321
00:14:05.920 --> 00:14:07.300
So we just, as God's people need
322
00:14:07.300 --> 00:14:08.920
to be really mindful of this
323
00:14:08.920 --> 00:14:11.200
And we need to make sure
that we are in a company
324
00:14:11.200 --> 00:14:13.000
of sound minded people.
325
00:14:13.000 --> 00:14:15.280
There you go. - We need to look at who are we hanging out
326
00:14:15.280 --> 00:14:16.660
with, who are we fellow shipping with?
327
00:14:16.660 --> 00:14:18.040
Who is influencing us?
328
00:14:18.040 --> 00:14:21.190
And that leads us to the next
law that I want to talk about.
329
00:14:21.190 --> 00:14:25.120
And it is the law that says
to not make any covenant
330
00:14:25.120 --> 00:14:27.010
with a heathen nation.
331
00:14:27.010 --> 00:14:28.780
While this is so powerful.
332
00:14:28.780 --> 00:14:32.230
And it's Exodus 23:32-33
333
00:14:32.230 --> 00:14:34.540
and it says, Uou shall make no covenant with them
334
00:14:34.540 --> 00:14:36.100
or with their gods.
335
00:14:36.100 --> 00:14:38.020
They shall not live in your land
336
00:14:38.020 --> 00:14:40.480
because they will make you sin against me.
337
00:14:40.480 --> 00:14:42.010
For if you serve their gods,
338
00:14:42.010 --> 00:14:44.620
it will surely be a snare to you.
339
00:14:44.620 --> 00:14:48.580
And you know, rabbi, when I read this, I thought of so many
340
00:14:48.580 --> 00:14:52.280
examples of people who are snared their friends,
341
00:14:52.280 --> 00:14:54.320
they're snared by a wrong company.
342
00:14:54.320 --> 00:14:57.650
And this is so very important
that we do not make a covenant
343
00:14:57.650 --> 00:15:00.620
with any heathen nation
or heathen peoples.
344
00:15:00.620 --> 00:15:02.300
You wanna comment on that?
345
00:15:02.300 --> 00:15:05.690
Absolutely. So in the original historical context here,
346
00:15:05.690 --> 00:15:08.840
this spoke with Israel
covenanting with other nations
347
00:15:08.840 --> 00:15:12.800
to make political alliances
or economic alliances.
348
00:15:12.800 --> 00:15:13.970
And we know that they were judged
349
00:15:13.970 --> 00:15:16.160
and became weak because of that.
350
00:15:16.160 --> 00:15:20.270
It speaks to us today of the
danger of moral relativism
351
00:15:20.270 --> 00:15:23.540
that we accept the values
of the people around with,
352
00:15:23.540 --> 00:15:24.920
as you're suggesting here.
353
00:15:24.920 --> 00:15:28.490
And the result of that as
we lose our distinct calling
354
00:15:28.490 --> 00:15:31.610
as priest in the earth and are made weak
355
00:15:31.610 --> 00:15:35.600
and actually reap the
consequences of a curse
356
00:15:35.600 --> 00:15:38.690
because we have severed our
connection with the Lord.
357
00:15:38.690 --> 00:15:40.850
You know, there's a Hebrew
word it's called kavanaugh
358
00:15:40.850 --> 00:15:42.320
and it means focus.
359
00:15:42.320 --> 00:15:44.240
And if we don't keep our kavanaugh,
360
00:15:44.240 --> 00:15:48.680
if we don't keep our focus
on clinging to God alone
361
00:15:48.680 --> 00:15:52.070
for everything, as opposed
to relying on the world
362
00:15:52.070 --> 00:15:55.570
to meet our needs or relying on some other entity
363
00:15:55.570 --> 00:15:59.060
to keep us strong, if we don't
keep relying on God alone,
364
00:15:59.060 --> 00:16:01.790
what's gonna happen to us as
God's people is the same thing
365
00:16:01.790 --> 00:16:03.230
that happened to Israel when they made
366
00:16:03.230 --> 00:16:05.060
alliances with he the nations.
367
00:16:05.060 --> 00:16:08.240
They were dispersed and lost their place.
368
00:16:08.240 --> 00:16:10.910
There's a Hebrew word that I love, it's called deveikut
369
00:16:10.910 --> 00:16:12.320
and it means clinging -
370
00:16:13.280 --> 00:16:15.260
clinging. We need to cling
371
00:16:15.260 --> 00:16:20.210
to God rather than relying on
the world to meet our needs
372
00:16:20.210 --> 00:16:21.500
and to make us strong.
373
00:16:21.500 --> 00:16:23.960
And this is something
that people often do.
374
00:16:23.960 --> 00:16:27.200
They wanna be affirmed,
they wanna be accepted,
375
00:16:27.200 --> 00:16:28.850
they don't wanna stand out.
376
00:16:28.850 --> 00:16:32.720
So rather than just clinging
to God alone to affirm them,
377
00:16:32.720 --> 00:16:34.970
instead what they do is they begin
378
00:16:34.970 --> 00:16:36.920
to subtly make a covenant with
379
00:16:36.920 --> 00:16:39.740
what I'm calling moral relativism.
380
00:16:39.740 --> 00:16:42.770
They begin to compromise their heart
381
00:16:42.770 --> 00:16:45.980
before the Lord, the way
they walk, the way they talk,
382
00:16:45.980 --> 00:16:48.920
the choices they make, what
they let into their home
383
00:16:48.920 --> 00:16:50.840
because remember the verse
you just read here says,
384
00:16:50.840 --> 00:16:52.940
they shall not live in your land.
385
00:16:52.940 --> 00:16:54.650
But what if we let into our land,
386
00:16:54.650 --> 00:16:56.510
through the television
and the internet and the,
387
00:16:56.510 --> 00:16:58.040
and the music and the people.
388
00:16:58.040 --> 00:17:01.190
So this is a call to stay separate
389
00:17:01.190 --> 00:17:02.810
and there's a price to be separate
390
00:17:02.810 --> 00:17:04.010
because Jesus said, if you are of the
391
00:17:04.010 --> 00:17:05.390
world, the world would love you.
392
00:17:05.390 --> 00:17:06.710
But I chose you outta the world.
393
00:17:06.710 --> 00:17:07.880
Therefore the world hates you.
394
00:17:07.880 --> 00:17:09.950
We need to stand strong and be separate.
395
00:17:09.950 --> 00:17:11.450
You know, in Acts 17,
396
00:17:11.450 --> 00:17:14.870
it talks about the pollutions of idolatry.
397
00:17:14.870 --> 00:17:17.780
And I love that phrase because idolatry
398
00:17:17.780 --> 00:17:19.160
and flirting with idolatry
399
00:17:19.160 --> 00:17:20.480
or flirting with the world,
400
00:17:20.480 --> 00:17:23.390
let's say it brings
pollution into your life,
401
00:17:23.390 --> 00:17:26.240
it brings spiritual filth into your life.
402
00:17:26.240 --> 00:17:27.860
And the early church,
403
00:17:27.860 --> 00:17:29.780
I mean hey were called to be separate.
404
00:17:29.780 --> 00:17:32.510
God said, be holy as I am Holy.
405
00:17:32.510 --> 00:17:37.220
I've called you out of darkness into a marvelous light.
406
00:17:37.220 --> 00:17:40.100
And we are not supposed to flirt
407
00:17:40.100 --> 00:17:41.630
around the edges of darkness.
408
00:17:41.630 --> 00:17:44.210
We're not supposed to do that.
409
00:17:44.210 --> 00:17:47.330
And that's the reason I love
this particular law so much -
410
00:17:47.330 --> 00:17:50.220
to not make any covenant with
a heathen nation, we need
411
00:17:50.220 --> 00:17:52.890
to draw lines, we need to have mercy
412
00:17:52.890 --> 00:17:55.530
and compassion for those
that are around us.
413
00:17:55.530 --> 00:17:57.240
But we need to determine
what we're gonna do,
414
00:17:57.240 --> 00:18:00.240
what we're not gonna
do, what we can permit,
415
00:18:00.240 --> 00:18:02.190
what we will not permit
416
00:18:02.190 --> 00:18:04.140
because we are God's holy people.
417
00:18:04.140 --> 00:18:07.290
And thank you for writing
this particular law.
418
00:18:07.290 --> 00:18:09.930
Absolutely. I'm thinking
we're practically speaking of
419
00:18:09.930 --> 00:18:11.670
how this might apply to those
420
00:18:11.670 --> 00:18:12.960
that are watching and listening today.
421
00:18:12.960 --> 00:18:14.850
And I'm thinking of
the difficult situation
422
00:18:14.850 --> 00:18:16.265
that parents are in.
423
00:18:16.265 --> 00:18:17.730
Oh yes. And they're
getting ready to send their
424
00:18:17.730 --> 00:18:19.200
kids to school.
425
00:18:19.200 --> 00:18:21.060
And so they're asking themselves,
426
00:18:21.060 --> 00:18:22.650
where do I send my child to school?
427
00:18:22.650 --> 00:18:24.900
And the reality is, as we
know, the vast majority
428
00:18:24.900 --> 00:18:27.870
of public schools today, that's like sending your child -
429
00:18:27.870 --> 00:18:30.000
and I'm not trying to put undue pressure on
430
00:18:30.000 --> 00:18:31.140
folks, but this is the truth.
431
00:18:31.140 --> 00:18:32.820
That's like sending your child
432
00:18:32.820 --> 00:18:35.760
to be educated in a heathen nation.
433
00:18:35.760 --> 00:18:38.340
They'll pick up a value system, as everybody knows today,
434
00:18:38.340 --> 00:18:42.060
that's contrary to walking
in alignment with God's word.
435
00:18:42.060 --> 00:18:43.230
So that's something to consider.
436
00:18:43.230 --> 00:18:45.570
Where are you sending
your kids to be educated?
437
00:18:45.570 --> 00:18:47.040
Are you coming into agreement
438
00:18:47.040 --> 00:18:49.530
or making an alliance
with the foreign nation?
439
00:18:49.530 --> 00:18:53.100
The public school systems
often are a great example
440
00:18:53.100 --> 00:18:55.260
of making an alliance
with the foreign nation
441
00:18:55.260 --> 00:18:56.730
and letting it into our land.
442
00:18:56.730 --> 00:18:59.040
And I'm even thinking of
business relationships,
443
00:18:59.040 --> 00:19:01.980
relationships that people
can enter into in businesses
444
00:19:01.980 --> 00:19:04.080
where they're, they're
they're coming into agreement.
445
00:19:04.080 --> 00:19:05.580
Maybe it's even an investment.
446
00:19:05.580 --> 00:19:08.370
Investing in a company
that stands, you know, that
447
00:19:08.370 --> 00:19:12.750
that has an immoral agenda: is that immoral agenda.
448
00:19:12.750 --> 00:19:14.250
We just need to be cognizant of the fact
449
00:19:14.250 --> 00:19:16.620
that God is really calling
us to live a a life
450
00:19:16.620 --> 00:19:18.660
that's holy and separate to him.
451
00:19:18.660 --> 00:19:21.210
I appreciate this so very much, Rabbi. Thank you
452
00:19:21.210 --> 00:19:22.680
for your stance.
453
00:19:22.680 --> 00:19:25.440
And I know just by our
regular phone conversations,
454
00:19:25.440 --> 00:19:28.200
this is really who you are and
it's really what you believe.
455
00:19:28.200 --> 00:19:29.820
And it's one reason why I'm
456
00:19:29.820 --> 00:19:32.310
so thankful the Lord has connected us.
457
00:19:32.310 --> 00:19:33.780
But you know, I'm thinking also about
458
00:19:33.780 --> 00:19:36.060
what people allow into their
homes through television:
459
00:19:36.060 --> 00:19:41.005
filth, smut, pollution, it's
a very good word, terrible.
460
00:19:41.005 --> 00:19:44.040
And people desensitize themselves.
461
00:19:44.040 --> 00:19:47.820
You know, I have right
here a callous on my hand.
462
00:19:47.820 --> 00:19:50.250
When I was a boy and I was learning how to write,
463
00:19:50.250 --> 00:19:52.830
I would press real hard with my pencil
464
00:19:52.830 --> 00:19:54.090
and I formed a callous.
465
00:19:54.090 --> 00:19:56.760
And do you know, to this day, decades
466
00:19:56.760 --> 00:19:59.970
and decades later, I have
no feeling in this part
467
00:19:59.970 --> 00:20:02.430
of my finger because I'm calloused.
468
00:20:02.430 --> 00:20:04.140
And when you watch sin
469
00:20:04.140 --> 00:20:08.130
and you tolerate sin, it
has a callousing effect.
470
00:20:08.130 --> 00:20:10.710
In the beginning, it might
have pained you to see some
471
00:20:10.710 --> 00:20:12.210
of those things, but over a period
472
00:20:12.210 --> 00:20:15.030
of time you become desensitized.
473
00:20:15.030 --> 00:20:16.440
You become calloused to it,
474
00:20:16.440 --> 00:20:18.990
and you lose your spiritual sensitivity.
475
00:20:18.990 --> 00:20:22.770
And I've learned that if you
can freely watch things on TV
476
00:20:22.770 --> 00:20:24.570
that once grieved you,
477
00:20:24.570 --> 00:20:26.370
you're already going the wrong direction.
478
00:20:26.370 --> 00:20:28.470
You're callousing your soul.
479
00:20:28.470 --> 00:20:30.240
But this has really been good
480
00:20:30.240 --> 00:20:32.610
and we're just finishing by
talking about not making any
481
00:20:32.610 --> 00:20:33.960
covenant with the heath, the nation.
482
00:20:33.960 --> 00:20:35.520
There is so much in this
483
00:20:35.520 --> 00:20:38.670
that we haven't even touched,
but we're out of time.
484
00:20:38.670 --> 00:20:39.870
But I'll be back in just a moment
485
00:20:39.870 --> 00:20:42.090
and a rabbi is gonna
join us again tomorrow.
486
00:20:51.040 --> 00:20:52.540
Does God answer all prayers
487
00:20:52.540 --> 00:20:55.000
or are there prayers God will not answer?
488
00:20:55.000 --> 00:20:56.740
Well, that's a very good question.
489
00:20:56.740 --> 00:21:00.400
And we're told in James 4:3,
490
00:21:00.400 --> 00:21:03.190
that you can ask amiss. That word,
491
00:21:03.190 --> 00:21:04.690
amiss, in Greek is the word kakos.
492
00:21:04.690 --> 00:21:07.480
It means to ask poorly or to ask wrongly.
493
00:21:07.480 --> 00:21:09.730
So there's a wrong kind of asking
494
00:21:09.730 --> 00:21:14.170
and God is not required to
answer a prayer that is wrong.
495
00:21:14.170 --> 00:21:16.480
You say, well then what
is a prayer that is right?
496
00:21:16.480 --> 00:21:18.940
Well, the answer to that is found in 1 John 5:
497
00:21:18.940 --> 00:21:23.260
14, which says, this is the confidence we have in him
498
00:21:23.260 --> 00:21:26.650
that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us.
499
00:21:26.650 --> 00:21:29.170
And if he hears us, we have the petitions
500
00:21:29.170 --> 00:21:31.000
that we asked of him.
501
00:21:31.000 --> 00:21:34.150
So if we wanna have an answer
from heaven that is positive,
502
00:21:34.150 --> 00:21:35.320
then we have to pray
503
00:21:35.320 --> 00:21:37.180
according to the scriptures.
504
00:21:37.180 --> 00:21:39.190
God is listening for the word of God.
505
00:21:39.190 --> 00:21:42.400
And when we pray the word
of God, God says, Hey,
506
00:21:42.400 --> 00:21:44.620
I can respond to that.
507
00:21:44.620 --> 00:21:46.480
And as long as you're
praying the scripture,
508
00:21:46.480 --> 00:21:48.910
you're never going to pray amiss.
509
00:21:50.620 --> 00:21:53.590
Are you missing the
deeper meaning of the Torah?
510
00:21:53.590 --> 00:21:57.040
Rick's new series, decoding
the Torah, Rick Renner
511
00:21:57.040 --> 00:21:58.840
with guest, rabbi Schneider, reveals
512
00:21:58.840 --> 00:22:01.930
how the law still speaks
to believers today, not
513
00:22:01.930 --> 00:22:04.480
as a burden, but as a guide to holiness
514
00:22:04.480 --> 00:22:06.490
and intimacy with God.
515
00:22:06.490 --> 00:22:09.700
In this 5-part series, you will discover:
516
00:22:09.700 --> 00:22:13.360
How the Torah still applies to mankind today -
517
00:22:13.360 --> 00:22:17.440
How Jesus fulfills the law rather than replaces it -
518
00:22:17.440 --> 00:22:21.670
The danger of violating God's design - Why it's important
519
00:22:21.670 --> 00:22:25.270
to not just follow the crowd - available in digital
520
00:22:25.270 --> 00:22:28.690
or physical format, starting at just $11.
521
00:22:28.690 --> 00:22:31.480
This teaching will give you
a new perspective on the Old
522
00:22:31.480 --> 00:22:34.570
Testament and why it matters today.
523
00:22:34.570 --> 00:22:36.850
In addition to this teaching series,

Hey, this is Rick Renner
535
00:23:20.170 --> 00:23:22.660
and I'm standing inside the Partner Care
536
00:23:22.660 --> 00:23:24.160
department of our ministry.
537
00:23:24.160 --> 00:23:26.290
And this is where the action takes place.
538
00:23:26.290 --> 00:23:28.240
Thousands of phone calls every day
539
00:23:28.240 --> 00:23:31.330
and every month come into
this place from people
540
00:23:31.330 --> 00:23:32.560
reaching out to us.
541
00:23:32.560 --> 00:23:35.260
And this is my precious
mother who is in heaven
542
00:23:35.260 --> 00:23:37.690
and she established this
part of the ministry.
543
00:23:37.690 --> 00:23:40.150
But these are the principles we are dedicated to.
544
00:23:40.150 --> 00:23:42.670
To feed the entire flock God has brought
545
00:23:42.670 --> 00:23:44.710
to this ministry. To strengthen
546
00:23:44.710 --> 00:23:46.970
those are 'dis-eased' in any area of their lives.
547
00:23:46.970 --> 00:23:50.420
To bring healing to those in need of any type of healing.
548
00:23:50.420 --> 00:23:53.570
To bind up those who are broken in any area of their lives.
549
00:23:53.570 --> 00:23:55.550
To bring back those that have been driven away.
550
00:23:55.550 --> 00:23:58.010
To reach the lost, and to take the gospel
551
00:23:58.010 --> 00:24:00.230
and the trusted teaching of the Bible to the ends
552
00:24:00.230 --> 00:24:03.320
of the earth. To shepherd the flock that God has caused
553
00:24:03.320 --> 00:24:05.330
to hear the voice of this ministry
554
00:24:05.330 --> 00:24:08.000
and to help them grow in their relationship with Christ
555
00:24:08.000 --> 00:24:10.880
and become powerful Bible-based believers equipped
556
00:24:10.880 --> 00:24:12.350
for these last days.
557
00:24:12.350 --> 00:24:13.670
And - To thank and minister
558
00:24:13.670 --> 00:24:16.820
to partners whose sacrificial gifts have enabled this
559
00:24:16.820 --> 00:24:19.700
ministry to fulfill its call around the world.
560
00:24:19.700 --> 00:24:23.060
And we are very committed to these principles.
561
00:24:23.060 --> 00:24:25.130
And if you're a partner, you know we're very
562
00:24:25.130 --> 00:24:26.900
serious about that.
563
00:24:26.900 --> 00:24:30.260
But hey, right now we're trying to pay off this facility
564
00:24:30.260 --> 00:24:31.280
and those who are part
565
00:24:31.280 --> 00:24:34.940
of the Ministry Expansion Project are helping us to do that.
566
00:24:34.940 --> 00:24:37.400
And if you're a part already, thank you.
567
00:24:37.400 --> 00:24:40.490
But if you're not part of that
giving team yet, we need you.
568
00:24:40.490 --> 00:24:42.020
So would you please become a part
569
00:24:42.020 --> 00:24:44.600
of the Ministry Expansion Giving Team
570
00:24:44.600 --> 00:24:46.850
so we can pay off this facility
571
00:24:46.850 --> 00:24:51.200
and then keep taking the gospel to the ends of the earth
572
00:24:51.200 --> 00:24:54.050
where people really are crying out for someone
573
00:24:54.050 --> 00:24:57.350
to bring them trusted teaching of the Bible.
574
00:24:57.350 --> 00:24:59.960
And that's us, that's our call
575
00:24:59.960 --> 00:25:02.630
and my friends together, we can do this.
576
00:25:02.630 --> 00:25:05.570
And I want to say thank you so much.
577
00:25:15.320 --> 00:25:18.740
Well, today we have learned a
lot from the Torah: just one
578
00:25:18.740 --> 00:25:22.730
of the laws out of 613 laws in the Torah,
579
00:25:22.730 --> 00:25:27.620
but this one about not making
mixtures that God forbids.
580
00:25:27.620 --> 00:25:30.140
Wow. It has really been insightful
581
00:25:30.140 --> 00:25:33.680
and I think you can see how
much application it has for us
582
00:25:33.680 --> 00:25:36.530
and the day that we're
living in right now.
583
00:25:37.430 --> 00:25:39.950
The reason I asked Rabbi to be with us is
584
00:25:39.950 --> 00:25:43.700
because I believe these insights would be a benefit to you.
585
00:25:43.700 --> 00:25:45.920
And that's why I want you to order the series,
586
00:25:45.920 --> 00:25:47.630
which is called, Decoding the Torah.
587
00:25:47.630 --> 00:25:49.610
It's 5-parts, comes with a study guide.
588
00:25:49.610 --> 00:25:51.920
And I want you to be
sure to get Rabbi's book,
589
00:25:51.920 --> 00:25:53.750
which is called, Decoding the Torah,
590
00:25:53.750 --> 00:25:57.530
Applying Ancient Wisdom in a Modern World.
591
00:25:57.530 --> 00:26:00.380
This book is such a
blessing, it's been a benefit
592
00:26:00.380 --> 00:26:03.110
to my spiritual life, and
I'm offering it to you
593
00:26:03.110 --> 00:26:06.110
because I really believe
it's gonna be a benefit
594
00:26:06.110 --> 00:26:07.280
to you as well.
595
00:26:07.280 --> 00:26:10.280
He is gonna decode some
things from the Torah
596
00:26:10.280 --> 00:26:12.890
that you've never considered,
you've never thought about,
597
00:26:12.890 --> 00:26:16.010
and you've never heard anybody address before.
598
00:26:16.010 --> 00:26:18.200
That's what I found when I read this book.
599
00:26:18.200 --> 00:26:20.720
And my friend, I really
want you to have it,
600
00:26:20.720 --> 00:26:23.630
but you can order all these
things by going online
601
00:26:23.630 --> 00:26:25.730
or you can give us a call
602
00:26:25.730 --> 00:26:27.260
and please, when you reach out to us,
603
00:26:27.260 --> 00:26:28.700
let us know how to pray for you.
604
00:26:28.700 --> 00:26:30.290
We want to pray for you.
605
00:26:30.290 --> 00:26:32.180
You can just call the
number that's on the screen
606
00:26:32.180 --> 00:26:33.950
and please write it down and save it.
607
00:26:33.950 --> 00:26:37.160
Keep that number nearby so that if you ever need
608
00:26:37.160 --> 00:26:39.500
to call somebody for prayer, you have a number you can call.
609
00:26:39.500 --> 00:26:43.800
That's us. You can trust us and we will really pray for you.
610
00:26:43.800 --> 00:26:46.830
Or if you wish, you can send us an email.
611
00:26:46.830 --> 00:26:49.260
But Father, I thank you
in the name of Jesus
612
00:26:49.260 --> 00:26:51.660
for the common sense, godly advice,
613
00:26:51.660 --> 00:26:54.600
qe have heard from the Torah, from the lips
614
00:26:54.600 --> 00:26:56.160
of Rabbi Schneider today,
615
00:26:56.160 --> 00:26:58.590
and I thank you that we're not done yet.
616
00:26:58.590 --> 00:27:00.210
And Father, I pray that you will speak
617
00:27:00.210 --> 00:27:03.450
to us again tomorrow in Jesus' name.
618
00:27:03.450 --> 00:27:05.790
Amen. I'll see you tomorrow.
619
00:27:05.790 --> 00:27:09.840
But remember Ecclesiastes 8:4 says, "Where the word
620
00:27:09.840 --> 00:27:13.230
of a king is, there is power."
621
00:27:13.230 --> 00:27:15.510
If you've never received Jesus as your Savior
622
00:27:15.510 --> 00:27:19.890
and Lord, now is the time for
you to experience a new life
623
00:27:19.890 --> 00:27:22.050
Jesus has to give you.
624
00:27:22.050 --> 00:27:26.100
Pray this prayer with me right now - Lord,
625
00:27:26.100 --> 00:27:30.150
I repent of my sin and receive you as my Savior
626
00:27:30.150 --> 00:27:33.120
and Lord. Wash away my sin
627
00:27:33.120 --> 00:27:36.120
and make me completely new.
628
00:27:36.120 --> 00:27:39.990
I thank you that my sin is removed
629
00:27:39.990 --> 00:27:44.990
and Satan no longer has any
right to lay claim on me.
630
00:27:45.450 --> 00:27:49.440
I faithfully promise that
I will serve you as my Lord
631
00:27:49.440 --> 00:27:51.120
for the rest of my life.
632
00:27:52.020 --> 00:27:53.020
Amen.
633
00:27:54.540 --> 00:27:57.240
If you just prayed the
prayer of salvation with us,
634
00:27:57.240 --> 00:27:59.280
