This program is made
possible by the giving

00:00:03.300 --> 00:00:06.180
of the God called partners
of Renner Ministries.
3
00:00:07.440 --> 00:00:10.110
Hello friend. My name is Denise Renner
4
00:00:10.110 --> 00:00:12.690
and I wanna welcome you to my program.
5
00:00:12.690 --> 00:00:15.150
Today I'm gonna be talking to you about
6
00:00:15.150 --> 00:00:19.470
how we can have an anchor at our
7
00:00:19.470 --> 00:00:22.620
faith in the storm.
8
00:00:22.620 --> 00:00:27.090
You know, so many times storms come and,
9
00:00:27.090 --> 00:00:28.680
and we're searching for this answer
10
00:00:28.680 --> 00:00:31.440
and we're searching for that answer.
11
00:00:31.440 --> 00:00:34.320
But we have an anchor
12
00:00:34.320 --> 00:00:38.850
and it's the word of God and it's faith in Jesus
13
00:00:38.850 --> 00:00:40.770
that's our anchor.
14
00:00:40.770 --> 00:00:44.580
And so many times in this world, they have this pressure,
15
00:00:44.580 --> 00:00:46.680
that pressure or that person's opinion
16
00:00:46.680 --> 00:00:48.390
or that person's opinion
17
00:00:48.390 --> 00:00:52.110
and pressing on you, telling
you what you should think,
18
00:00:52.110 --> 00:00:53.550
what you should believe.
19
00:00:55.110 --> 00:01:00.110
When the anchor, when the answer
20
00:01:00.120 --> 00:01:03.060
is Jesus, is his word,
21
00:01:04.140 --> 00:01:06.060
his answer is
22
00:01:06.060 --> 00:01:09.870
completely unchangeable.
23
00:01:09.870 --> 00:01:12.435
The Bible says in Hebrews
that he's the same yesterday,
24
00:01:12.435 --> 00:01:13.595
today and forever.
25
00:01:15.420 --> 00:01:17.250
And so he's not going to change.
26
00:01:17.250 --> 00:01:20.010
So his answer is going to be solid.
27
00:01:20.010 --> 00:01:23.130
And that's what we're
going to talk about today.
28
00:01:23.130 --> 00:01:27.360
And I wanna offer you the 5-part video series,
29
00:01:27.360 --> 00:01:31.140
and it's called, Faith Will Be Your Anchor in the Storm.
30
00:01:31.140 --> 00:01:32.580
Oh, I want you to get it.
31
00:01:32.580 --> 00:01:35.850
And it comes with a
companion study guide so
32
00:01:35.850 --> 00:01:38.490
that you can go ride along with the word
33
00:01:38.490 --> 00:01:40.350
and ride along with the teaching
34
00:01:40.350 --> 00:01:43.500
and it'll get deeper down
on the inside of you.
35
00:01:43.500 --> 00:01:47.250
And I wanna offer you my book, Jesus is Your Healer
36
00:01:48.180 --> 00:01:51.840
because I have been noticing that
37
00:01:51.840 --> 00:01:55.560
so many people are
struggling with sickness,
38
00:01:55.560 --> 00:02:00.560
even sickness that has
a death sentence on it.
39
00:02:00.750 --> 00:02:03.690
And we're scrambling and
we don't know what to do.
40
00:02:03.690 --> 00:02:06.780
And I'm telling you,
Jesus has not changed.
41
00:02:06.780 --> 00:02:11.700
And is his name is Jehovah Rapha.
42
00:02:11.700 --> 00:02:15.390
Do you know anyone else who has the name,
43
00:02:15.390 --> 00:02:19.200
Jehovah Rapha - He is our healer.
44
00:02:19.200 --> 00:02:20.820
And I want you to have this book
45
00:02:20.820 --> 00:02:25.440
because it's gonna encourage
you in your faith to find out
46
00:02:25.440 --> 00:02:29.130
that Jesus is not only your savior,
47
00:02:29.130 --> 00:02:33.510
but he's a hundred percent your healer.
48
00:02:33.510 --> 00:02:36.210
So stay with me and I'm coming right back
49
00:02:36.210 --> 00:02:39.600
and we are going to get
into the word of God.
50
00:02:40.440 --> 00:02:44.430
It's time for big miracles
and changes in your life.
51
00:02:45.300 --> 00:02:46.560
Join Denise Renner
52
00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:50.160
and dive into the study of God's
word, which has great power
53
00:02:50.160 --> 00:02:54.210
to strengthen faith, inspire,
change, heal physically
54
00:02:54.210 --> 00:02:56.730
and spiritually, and most importantly,
55
00:02:56.730 --> 00:02:58.230
help you learn about the power
56
00:02:58.230 --> 00:03:00.040
of Christ Jesus living in you.
57
00:03:01.090 --> 00:03:03.100
It's time with Denise Renner.
58
00:03:05.770 --> 00:03:09.010
Revelation 12:11 says,
59
00:03:09.010 --> 00:03:13.090
We overcome the devil by the blood of the lamb
60
00:03:13.090 --> 00:03:16.030
and the word of our testimony,
61
00:03:16.030 --> 00:03:19.600
and we love not our
lives, even unto death.
62
00:03:19.600 --> 00:03:23.710
And I want to start with two testimonies
63
00:03:23.710 --> 00:03:27.820
because you're gonna hear these testimonies and it's only
64
00:03:27.820 --> 00:03:29.500
because of the blood of Jesus
65
00:03:29.500 --> 00:03:32.650
and faith in the name of Jesus.
66
00:03:32.650 --> 00:03:35.830
And it says - Thank you for your ministry.
67
00:03:35.830 --> 00:03:38.920
I watch the sermons and learned a lot.
68
00:03:38.920 --> 00:03:43.270
I had a severe pain in my heart.
69
00:03:43.270 --> 00:03:46.390
I watched the sermon about healing
70
00:03:46.390 --> 00:03:49.150
and I prayed along with you.
71
00:03:49.150 --> 00:03:54.150
The next morning I woke up without pain.
72
00:03:54.250 --> 00:03:58.720
Praise God. I just love
testimonies. You know why?
73
00:03:58.720 --> 00:04:03.720
Because it's the manifest
presence of the power of God.
74
00:04:03.910 --> 00:04:06.310
And then we have another testimony.
75
00:04:06.310 --> 00:04:09.790
I want to testify about my healing.
76
00:04:09.790 --> 00:04:14.790
On February the 17th of this year, there was an ice storm
77
00:04:14.830 --> 00:04:18.490
and I went outside to my car and I fell.
78
00:04:18.490 --> 00:04:21.910
I started experiencing severe pain.
79
00:04:21.910 --> 00:04:26.020
A large bruise appeared
and I couldn't walk.
80
00:04:26.020 --> 00:04:29.590
I practically couldn't even move.
81
00:04:29.590 --> 00:04:34.120
An examination revealed that
I had fractured vertebrae
82
00:04:34.120 --> 00:04:37.480
and my left hip joint.
83
00:04:37.480 --> 00:04:42.400
The doctors didn't believe the
hip fracture would ever heal.
84
00:04:42.400 --> 00:04:45.880
Of course, I prayed and
I sought God's face.
85
00:04:45.880 --> 00:04:48.100
The Lord gave me several scriptures,
86
00:04:48.100 --> 00:04:52.570
Psalm 107:20, Mark 5, Isaiah 66,
87
00:04:52.570 --> 00:04:54.520
and Jeremiah 30.
88
00:04:54.520 --> 00:04:58.120
I stood on these words,
proclaimed over my life
89
00:04:58.120 --> 00:05:01.270
and believed that the Lord was healing me.
90
00:05:01.270 --> 00:05:05.290
Oh friend, that is such an important step in your healing,
91
00:05:05.290 --> 00:05:09.280
is you searching out the
word of God for yourself.
92
00:05:09.280 --> 00:05:12.400
It continues - During the
93
00:05:12.400 --> 00:05:14.770
Transformation Heart -
94
00:05:14.770 --> 00:05:18.190
it was a conference that we had - Pastor Denise prayed
95
00:05:18.190 --> 00:05:23.190
and said that there was
someone online in the audience
96
00:05:23.260 --> 00:05:27.580
who couldn't walk, but
God wanted them to walk.
97
00:05:27.580 --> 00:05:31.780
I received this word and felt relief.
98
00:05:31.780 --> 00:05:35.170
Confidence came that I was healed,
99
00:05:35.170 --> 00:05:37.270
but I waited for the doctor's appointment
100
00:05:37.270 --> 00:05:40.000
because I still needed medical confirmation.
101
00:05:41.830 --> 00:05:45.160
On June 5th, I visited the doctor
102
00:05:45.160 --> 00:05:50.050
and when they took the x-ray,
the doctor - very surprised
103
00:05:50.050 --> 00:05:52.660
and with joy in his eyes - came up to me
104
00:05:52.660 --> 00:05:56.350
and said, everything is fine.
105
00:05:56.350 --> 00:05:59.810
It's all healed, but
you need rehabilitation.
106
00:05:59.810 --> 00:06:02.990
Of course, I replied
that God had healed me.
107
00:06:02.990 --> 00:06:06.050
He responded - I know.
108
00:06:06.050 --> 00:06:09.410
I gave the doctor a brochure about Jesus Christ
109
00:06:09.410 --> 00:06:11.840
and told him that God loves him.
110
00:06:11.840 --> 00:06:14.360
He accepted it with gratitude and joy.
111
00:06:15.200 --> 00:06:19.190
Hallelujah!! The testimony -
112
00:06:20.060 --> 00:06:23.000
your testimony is so powerful
113
00:06:23.000 --> 00:06:27.560
because it defeats the devil
in somebody else's life.
114
00:06:27.560 --> 00:06:30.710
That is exactly what the word of God says.
115
00:06:30.710 --> 00:06:33.740
So I want to share those
testimonies with you.
116
00:06:33.740 --> 00:06:36.200
That can be your testimony.
117
00:06:36.200 --> 00:06:37.370
You writing
118
00:06:37.370 --> 00:06:41.510
and saying, I had this happen in my body.
119
00:06:41.510 --> 00:06:45.770
I had these symptoms
and God has touched me,
120
00:06:45.770 --> 00:06:47.000
and now I'm
121
00:06:47.000 --> 00:06:50.030
well. It's through the word of God.
122
00:06:50.030 --> 00:06:51.530
It's through the power of God.
123
00:06:51.530 --> 00:06:56.530
It's his manifest presence
124
00:06:56.630 --> 00:07:01.220
that he wants to bring to all of us.
125
00:07:01.220 --> 00:07:05.720
Ephesians 1:19 says,
126
00:07:05.720 --> 00:07:08.480
and this is happening right now, friend -
127
00:07:08.480 --> 00:07:11.060
The exceeding greatness
128
00:07:11.060 --> 00:07:15.800
of his power is coming toward you
129
00:07:15.800 --> 00:07:20.510
who believe. I receive this power,
130
00:07:20.510 --> 00:07:22.070
I receive this power,
131
00:07:24.260 --> 00:07:26.240
and I want you to receive that power
132
00:07:26.240 --> 00:07:28.790
because it's coming towards you right
133
00:07:28.790 --> 00:07:32.150
now, according to the scripture.
134
00:07:32.150 --> 00:07:35.870
Well, I want you to open your Bible to Mark 5,
135
00:07:37.460 --> 00:07:41.510
and we're gonna start in -
136
00:07:41.510 --> 00:07:43.460
actually Mark 4, excuse me.
137
00:07:43.460 --> 00:07:47.540
We're gonna start in verse 35.
138
00:07:47.540 --> 00:07:52.490
And this is when the
disciples are in a storm.
139
00:07:52.490 --> 00:07:55.430
And what do you do when you're in a storm?
140
00:07:55.430 --> 00:07:59.660
And I wanna show you how
they reacted to this storm
141
00:07:59.660 --> 00:08:03.680
and how God wants to give us tools today,
142
00:08:03.680 --> 00:08:06.680
how we can react in a storm.
143
00:08:06.680 --> 00:08:11.420
On the same day when evening had come, he said to them -
144
00:08:11.420 --> 00:08:15.230
Let us cross over to the other side.
145
00:08:15.230 --> 00:08:18.950
Now friend, that's the most important
146
00:08:18.950 --> 00:08:20.990
phrase right there
147
00:08:20.990 --> 00:08:22.490
because Jesus said
148
00:08:23.420 --> 00:08:27.140
this is what's going to happen.
149
00:08:27.140 --> 00:08:30.770
We're crossing over to the other side.
150
00:08:31.940 --> 00:08:34.580
You might be in a storm right now
151
00:08:34.580 --> 00:08:39.200
and you might feel some waves
and you might feel some water
152
00:08:39.200 --> 00:08:42.080
and some threatening reports.
153
00:08:42.080 --> 00:08:45.320
But if Jesus promised
you that you're going
154
00:08:45.320 --> 00:08:49.220
to the other side, oh friend, you're going
155
00:08:49.220 --> 00:08:53.990
to the other side as we believe his word.
156
00:08:53.990 --> 00:08:55.920
So look what happened.
157
00:08:55.920 --> 00:08:59.040
Now, when they had left the multitude,
158
00:08:59.040 --> 00:09:02.010
they took him along in the boat as he was,
159
00:09:02.010 --> 00:09:04.320
and other little boats were with him,
160
00:09:04.320 --> 00:09:07.290
and a great wind storm arose
161
00:09:07.290 --> 00:09:10.380
and the waves beat into the boat so
162
00:09:10.380 --> 00:09:13.920
that it was already filling.
163
00:09:14.790 --> 00:09:16.980
So that's the situation
164
00:09:16.980 --> 00:09:21.980
because you know when a
boat is filling with water,
165
00:09:22.080 --> 00:09:25.320
that means that that boat is going down.
166
00:09:27.360 --> 00:09:30.330
This is a very threatening storm.
167
00:09:31.620 --> 00:09:34.980
And I'm sure the disciples were thinking,
168
00:09:34.980 --> 00:09:37.380
am I ever gonna see my family again?
169
00:09:37.380 --> 00:09:40.890
What am I doing on this boat with Jesus?
170
00:09:40.890 --> 00:09:43.680
Why did I get on this boat?
171
00:09:44.850 --> 00:09:47.580
Are we gonna make it through this
172
00:09:47.580 --> 00:09:51.420
as they watch the water in the boat
173
00:09:52.260 --> 00:09:53.460
filling up.
174
00:09:55.050 --> 00:09:57.510
Have you ever felt those kind of things
175
00:09:57.510 --> 00:09:59.670
where you're facing something
176
00:09:59.670 --> 00:10:04.670
and it seems like that the
pressures and the trial
177
00:10:04.890 --> 00:10:09.540
and what you see and feel is rising up?
178
00:10:09.540 --> 00:10:11.880
Well, that's where the disciples were.
179
00:10:11.880 --> 00:10:15.450
But Jesus had said, we're
going to the other side.
180
00:10:17.460 --> 00:10:19.680
But look what Jesus was doing, verse 37:
181
00:10:19.680 --> 00:10:23.070
And the great windstorm arose
182
00:10:23.070 --> 00:10:26.940
and the waves beat into the boat so
183
00:10:26.940 --> 00:10:28.800
that it was already filling,
184
00:10:30.030 --> 00:10:33.810
but he was in the stern asleep
185
00:10:33.810 --> 00:10:35.040
on a pillow.
186
00:10:36.030 --> 00:10:39.180
Jesus is in so much peace
187
00:10:39.180 --> 00:10:42.780
that water is rising up around him
188
00:10:42.780 --> 00:10:44.610
and he's still asleep.
189
00:10:46.050 --> 00:10:48.540
And they awoke him and
said to him, teacher,
190
00:10:49.380 --> 00:10:53.850
do you not care that we are perishing?
191
00:10:54.930 --> 00:10:57.180
So many things happening here
192
00:10:57.180 --> 00:11:00.240
because they don't believe that they're going
193
00:11:00.240 --> 00:11:04.230
to the other side and they don't believe that Jesus cares.
194
00:11:05.790 --> 00:11:08.910
That can be our case
also, when we are going
195
00:11:08.910 --> 00:11:11.880
through something. We might be tempted to go -
196
00:11:11.880 --> 00:11:14.610
And Lord, where are you in this situation?
197
00:11:14.610 --> 00:11:18.990
And Lord, don't you care?
That's exactly what they said.
198
00:11:22.470 --> 00:11:26.700
Verse 39: then he arose
199
00:11:26.700 --> 00:11:30.930
and rebuked the wind and said
to the sea, peace be still.
200
00:11:30.930 --> 00:11:34.620
And the wind ceased and
there was a great calm.
201
00:11:36.810 --> 00:11:41.700
But he said to them - Why are you so fearful?
202
00:11:43.260 --> 00:11:46.140
Couldn't you believe me?
Couldn't you believe that
203
00:11:46.140 --> 00:11:49.200
I said, we're going to the other side.
204
00:11:49.200 --> 00:11:50.670
We're going to the other side,
205
00:11:50.670 --> 00:11:53.220
Guys. Why were you so fearful?
206
00:11:54.250 --> 00:11:58.300
How is it that you have no faith? Ow.
207
00:11:59.290 --> 00:12:02.680
Jesus really said to them, you don't,
208
00:12:02.680 --> 00:12:06.220
you have not been using
your faith in this storm.
209
00:12:07.600 --> 00:12:12.600
So I want us to go to Proverbs 4,
210
00:12:12.835 --> 00:12:17.500
and it gives us great tools, great tools
211
00:12:17.500 --> 00:12:21.970
to make it through
212
00:12:21.970 --> 00:12:24.340
that journey of the storm.
213
00:12:25.180 --> 00:12:27.850
And the first thing that the word
214
00:12:27.850 --> 00:12:31.930
of God says in Proverbs 4, it says,
215
00:12:31.930 --> 00:12:36.040
Keep your heart with all diligence.
216
00:12:37.060 --> 00:12:40.210
Oh, there's so much that goes on in the heart - for out
217
00:12:40.210 --> 00:12:43.570
of it springs the issues of life.
218
00:12:44.890 --> 00:12:46.960
Now, when you're in a situation
219
00:12:48.400 --> 00:12:53.020
and it seems like you're in a
storm, one of the first things
220
00:12:53.020 --> 00:12:54.700
that can happen is fear -
221
00:12:55.810 --> 00:13:00.810
fear. What if - what if that happens?
222
00:13:01.030 --> 00:13:05.410
How am I gonna react? Am I gonna make it?
223
00:13:05.410 --> 00:13:09.640
What's my future? What's my part in this?
224
00:13:09.640 --> 00:13:13.270
It's all questions and
questions and questions
225
00:13:13.270 --> 00:13:14.410
and questions,
226
00:13:15.580 --> 00:13:20.050
and those questions do not lead you in the
227
00:13:20.050 --> 00:13:21.280
right direction.
228
00:13:22.480 --> 00:13:26.020
That is bringing that storm
229
00:13:26.020 --> 00:13:30.490
and increasing that storm
on the inside of you.
230
00:13:31.780 --> 00:13:35.770
When we have those kind of thoughts, those fearful thoughts,
231
00:13:35.770 --> 00:13:37.570
it says
232
00:13:37.570 --> 00:13:41.110
that the greater one is not in me than
233
00:13:41.110 --> 00:13:42.340
he that's in the world.
234
00:13:42.340 --> 00:13:47.110
It says the greater one is
the one out here pushing the
235
00:13:47.110 --> 00:13:49.450
buttons and bringing the pressure,
236
00:13:49.450 --> 00:13:51.580
not the one on the inside.
237
00:13:51.580 --> 00:13:53.980
Oh friend, the one on the inside
238
00:13:53.980 --> 00:13:58.360
of you is greater than any pressure that's on the outside.
239
00:13:59.530 --> 00:14:01.960
And yes, the pressures come:
240
00:14:01.960 --> 00:14:04.090
and yes, our mind might not think right:
241
00:14:04.090 --> 00:14:07.120
and yes, we might not have the right emotions,
242
00:14:07.120 --> 00:14:09.640
but you have a greater one on the
243
00:14:09.640 --> 00:14:13.480
inside - in your spirit-man.
244
00:14:13.480 --> 00:14:17.230
And if we turn to our spirit where faith is,
245
00:14:18.280 --> 00:14:21.610
we can, we can guard our heart.
246
00:14:21.610 --> 00:14:25.060
We can say, no Lord, I
know that, Lord, I may,
247
00:14:25.060 --> 00:14:27.820
I may not be thinking the
right thoughts right now.
248
00:14:27.820 --> 00:14:31.810
I don't feel the right
feelings that I want to feel,
249
00:14:31.810 --> 00:14:36.610
but God on the inside of me is power.
250
00:14:36.610 --> 00:14:41.020
Power to go through this
storm, power to say, get out
251
00:14:41.020 --> 00:14:42.520
of my way, devil.
252
00:14:42.520 --> 00:14:46.300
I am not listening to your thoughts. Emotions,
253
00:14:46.300 --> 00:14:49.090
you be quiet.
254
00:14:49.090 --> 00:14:52.250
I am going to listen to
the word God on the inside
255
00:14:52.250 --> 00:14:54.170
of my heart.
256
00:14:56.270 --> 00:14:57.920
That is so powerful.
257
00:14:59.000 --> 00:15:00.080
And we -
258
00:15:00.080 --> 00:15:04.850
and the Bible says that out of your heart,
259
00:15:04.850 --> 00:15:08.900
you, it says you keep your heart,
260
00:15:08.900 --> 00:15:13.640
you keep your heart with all
diligence: not your friend
261
00:15:13.640 --> 00:15:15.380
keep your heart: not your pastor
262
00:15:15.380 --> 00:15:19.280
keep your heart: not your spouse keep your heart.
263
00:15:19.280 --> 00:15:22.490
No, they can't keep your heart.
264
00:15:22.490 --> 00:15:26.510
You are responsible for your own heart.
265
00:15:26.510 --> 00:15:30.740
And in your heart are precious things,
266
00:15:30.740 --> 00:15:32.750
issues of life.
267
00:15:32.750 --> 00:15:37.400
And that's why we have to listen to our spirit on the inside
268
00:15:37.400 --> 00:15:39.170
to guard our heart.
269
00:15:39.170 --> 00:15:42.200
And then verse 25 says -
270
00:15:42.200 --> 00:15:46.490
Let your eyes look straight ahead.
271
00:15:46.490 --> 00:15:48.830
Oh, what's important to think
272
00:15:48.830 --> 00:15:52.880
when you're in the fight - let your eyes
273
00:15:53.900 --> 00:15:57.290
stay straight ahead.
274
00:15:58.160 --> 00:16:02.390
In Philippians 3, I wanna read it to you
275
00:16:02.390 --> 00:16:05.630
because the apostle Paul
in a horrible prison
276
00:16:06.620 --> 00:16:10.040
writes these amazing words,
277
00:16:10.040 --> 00:16:13.460
and we see his attitude in his storm.
278
00:16:14.480 --> 00:16:19.480
And he says, in chapter 3:12 -
279
00:16:19.610 --> 00:16:24.610
Not that I've already attained
or am I already perfected,
280
00:16:24.680 --> 00:16:27.890
but I press on that I may,
281
00:16:28.880 --> 00:16:31.820
that I may lay a hold of that
282
00:16:31.820 --> 00:16:35.870
for which Christ Jesus has
also laid a hold of me.
283
00:16:37.490 --> 00:16:40.130
Have we completed the tasks
284
00:16:40.130 --> 00:16:43.070
that Jesus has given us for this earth?
285
00:16:43.070 --> 00:16:47.630
If we haven't, then we
need to keep laying a hold
286
00:16:47.630 --> 00:16:51.410
of the power of God and
push through that storm.
287
00:16:51.410 --> 00:16:53.870
Look at the next verse - Brethren,
288
00:16:53.870 --> 00:16:57.920
I do not count myself to have apprehended,
289
00:16:57.920 --> 00:17:01.250
but one thing I do - here's our instruction -
290
00:17:01.250 --> 00:17:06.170
forgetting those things which are behind
291
00:17:06.170 --> 00:17:10.310
and reaching forward to
those things which are ahead.
292
00:17:10.310 --> 00:17:12.380
You see, when you're in the storm,
293
00:17:12.380 --> 00:17:15.830
sometimes the past can be speaking to you.
294
00:17:15.830 --> 00:17:17.510
The past can say, well, you know
295
00:17:17.510 --> 00:17:20.870
how you reacted last
time you were in a storm.
296
00:17:20.870 --> 00:17:23.900
Oh, that was bad. You didn't
make it through that storm.
297
00:17:23.900 --> 00:17:26.360
I don't think you're gonna make it through this one either.
298
00:17:26.360 --> 00:17:30.950
You know your character, you're so weak, you can't do this.
299
00:17:30.950 --> 00:17:33.680
Just the past trying to speak to us.
300
00:17:33.680 --> 00:17:38.570
But in the scripture it says,
forgetting those things,
301
00:17:38.570 --> 00:17:41.390
forgetting those things that are behind
302
00:17:41.390 --> 00:17:45.560
and pressing forward to
those things that are ahead.
303
00:17:45.560 --> 00:17:47.420
What is ahead?
304
00:17:47.420 --> 00:17:51.810
The power of God, the
promises of God, the promise
305
00:17:51.810 --> 00:17:55.200
that Jesus said he will
never, ever change.
306
00:17:55.200 --> 00:17:58.680
He's the same yesterday,
today, and forever.
307
00:17:58.680 --> 00:18:02.460
That things may change,
emotions may change,
308
00:18:02.460 --> 00:18:06.060
situations may change,
your thinking might change.
309
00:18:06.060 --> 00:18:08.400
But Jesus is not changing.
310
00:18:09.780 --> 00:18:11.550
He's rock solid.
311
00:18:11.550 --> 00:18:16.530
And when you and I put our faith on him, in him,
312
00:18:17.430 --> 00:18:21.540
we can be strengthened by
313
00:18:21.540 --> 00:18:23.580
that mighty rock
314
00:18:23.580 --> 00:18:27.870
that's not moving - not moving.
315
00:18:30.600 --> 00:18:34.050
And then it says in
316
00:18:34.980 --> 00:18:38.190
Proverbs, it says,
317
00:18:38.190 --> 00:18:42.630
and your eyelids look right before you.
318
00:18:42.630 --> 00:18:44.820
Let your eyes look straight ahead
319
00:18:44.820 --> 00:18:46.590
and your eyelids look right
320
00:18:46.590 --> 00:18:50.490
before you, ponder the path of your feet
321
00:18:50.490 --> 00:18:53.910
and let all your ways be established.
322
00:18:55.110 --> 00:18:59.550
How important is it to have
a resolve on the inside
323
00:18:59.550 --> 00:19:02.520
of us that we're not moving?
324
00:19:02.520 --> 00:19:06.030
And I wanna show you a scripture in Hebrews,
325
00:19:07.350 --> 00:19:12.270
and this scripture, it says
326
00:19:12.270 --> 00:19:17.010
that we walk by faith
327
00:19:17.010 --> 00:19:18.720
and not by sight.
328
00:19:18.720 --> 00:19:21.180
And it's in Hebrews 10
329
00:19:21.180 --> 00:19:22.013
and it's verse
330
00:19:22.013 --> 00:19:26.250
38, verse 38.
331
00:19:26.250 --> 00:19:29.280
Now, the just shall live by faith.
332
00:19:30.120 --> 00:19:35.040
But if anyone draws back, my
soul has no pleasure in him.
333
00:19:36.060 --> 00:19:39.810
But we are not of those
who draw back to perdition,
334
00:19:39.810 --> 00:19:44.280
but of those who believe to the saving
335
00:19:44.280 --> 00:19:45.330
of the soul.
336
00:19:47.070 --> 00:19:50.040
That's our destination is
337
00:19:50.040 --> 00:19:54.750
to keep believing, to keep
338
00:19:55.590 --> 00:19:56.880
emphasizing
339
00:19:58.170 --> 00:20:01.980
what you know is true in your spirit,
340
00:20:02.820 --> 00:20:07.050
that Jesus is inside of
you, that the Holy Spirit,
341
00:20:07.050 --> 00:20:10.920
his very self, the 3rd person
342
00:20:10.920 --> 00:20:14.130
of the Godhead, he's in you,
343
00:20:15.390 --> 00:20:18.270
he placed himself in you.
344
00:20:19.620 --> 00:20:24.390
He's giving you power right
now to believe - right now -
345
00:20:25.770 --> 00:20:27.090
mighty power.
346
00:20:28.470 --> 00:20:32.250
He's not backing off from his promise,
347
00:20:32.250 --> 00:20:34.920
he's waiting for us.
348
00:20:36.480 --> 00:20:41.130
The Bible says in Isaiah 41, it says
349
00:20:41.130 --> 00:20:43.860
to take him by his hand.
350
00:20:43.860 --> 00:20:47.350
He says, he'll take you by
his righteous right hand
351
00:20:47.350 --> 00:20:48.460
and he'll hold you.
352
00:20:49.450 --> 00:20:53.260
Oh, friend, we don't
have a reason to fear,
353
00:20:53.260 --> 00:20:57.190
but we have a reason to believe - He holds us
354
00:20:57.190 --> 00:20:59.080
by his right hand.
355
00:20:59.080 --> 00:21:02.530
In Isaiah 41:10 and 13,
356
00:21:03.610 --> 00:21:07.360
and now we know that we are going
357
00:21:07.360 --> 00:21:11.380
to stay there until
the saving of our soul.
358
00:21:12.400 --> 00:21:16.480
The Bible says in Hebrews 12, it says
359
00:21:16.480 --> 00:21:18.100
that he's the author
360
00:21:18.940 --> 00:21:22.690
and he's the finisher of our faith.
361
00:21:22.690 --> 00:21:27.100
Somewhere in the middle is you and I,
362
00:21:28.660 --> 00:21:33.490
and he's still keeping
us, still keeping us.
363
00:21:33.490 --> 00:21:37.930
He's the author, he started
it. He's the finisher.
364
00:21:37.930 --> 00:21:42.370
So on that timeline of
our journey with him,
365
00:21:42.370 --> 00:21:46.420
from the beginning to
the end, he's right there
366
00:21:46.420 --> 00:21:48.280
with us in the middle.
367
00:21:49.270 --> 00:21:51.460
And if you're in a storm,
368
00:21:51.460 --> 00:21:55.390
he's right there in your boat for you
369
00:21:55.390 --> 00:21:57.820
to just reach out and call out to
370
00:21:59.170 --> 00:22:01.270
and say, Lord, help me.
371
00:22:03.190 --> 00:22:06.730
And his presence is there.
372
00:22:07.750 --> 00:22:12.280
The moment you say, Holy Spirit, help me.
373
00:22:13.330 --> 00:22:17.230
The great helper, the great comforter,
374
00:22:17.230 --> 00:22:20.530
the great teacher, the great guide
375
00:22:20.530 --> 00:22:22.690
will uphold his reputation
376
00:22:23.830 --> 00:22:27.460
and he will come when you call out
377
00:22:27.460 --> 00:22:29.200
and say, holy Spirit, help me.
378
00:22:29.200 --> 00:22:33.100
He will come with his help.
379
00:22:33.100 --> 00:22:36.700
Well, we're out of time, but you stay with me
380
00:22:36.700 --> 00:22:40.180
'cause I'm coming right back
and we're gonna pray together.
381
00:22:40.180 --> 00:22:41.180

388
00:22:57.880 --> 00:23:00.580
As believers, we will
all face the storms
389
00:23:00.580 --> 00:23:02.410
of life at one time or another,
390
00:23:02.410 --> 00:23:05.470
but we don't have to feel
tossed by the wind and waves,
391
00:23:05.470 --> 00:23:08.770
and life does not have to become unsteady. In these storms,
392
00:23:08.770 --> 00:23:11.800
we have an anchor. 1 John 5:4 tells us
393
00:23:11.800 --> 00:23:15.040
that our faith can overcome
the world, and if we are firm
394
00:23:15.040 --> 00:23:17.200
and focused in it, it will hold us steady
395
00:23:17.200 --> 00:23:19.180
through the roughest storms of life.
396
00:23:19.180 --> 00:23:22.390
In our new series, Faith Will
Be Your Anchor In The Storm,
397
00:23:22.390 --> 00:23:25.330

Bible stories of five people
398
00:23:25.330 --> 00:23:27.490

00:23:27.490 --> 00:23:31.060
Jesus of Nazareth, the Canaanite woman, the woman
400
00:23:31.060 --> 00:23:34.600
with the issue of blood, the 4 friends of a crippled man,
401
00:23:34.600 --> 00:23:36.490

Friend,
424
00:24:32.430 --> 00:24:35.540
those are some powerful tools
that we just heard about,
425
00:24:36.410 --> 00:24:41.410
about not looking to the past,
not listening to the past,
426
00:24:41.660 --> 00:24:46.660
staying in a place where we are committed
427
00:24:46.760 --> 00:24:49.520
to look at what's on the inside of us
428
00:24:49.520 --> 00:24:52.250
and what's not on the outside of us:
429
00:24:52.250 --> 00:24:55.640
that the greater one is on
the inside of us than he
430
00:24:55.640 --> 00:24:56.960
that's in this world.
431
00:24:58.285 --> 00:25:01.250
Oh, thank you, God for your word.
432
00:25:01.250 --> 00:25:05.450
He of course, gives us
tools for the storm.
433
00:25:05.450 --> 00:25:09.590
We don't wanna be like those
disciples who heard the word,
434
00:25:09.590 --> 00:25:14.590
which was we're going to the
other side, but didn't believe
435
00:25:14.840 --> 00:25:18.740
and became overwhelmed with fear
436
00:25:18.740 --> 00:25:21.620
and even accuse Jesus of not caring.
437
00:25:22.910 --> 00:25:24.920
Well, I wanna pray with you
438
00:25:24.920 --> 00:25:28.220
because I know that God is
439
00:25:28.220 --> 00:25:31.790
so close and he hears us.
440
00:25:31.790 --> 00:25:33.980
The Bible says He's
closer than our breath.
441
00:25:34.940 --> 00:25:38.780
Father, I wanna thank you
for your presence right now,
442
00:25:41.720 --> 00:25:45.770
and I wanna thank you
for your help, the help
443
00:25:45.770 --> 00:25:50.450
of the Holy Spirit as we ask
444
00:25:50.450 --> 00:25:52.640
the Holy Spirit to help us.
445
00:25:54.620 --> 00:25:57.650
We thank you for his presence.
446
00:25:57.650 --> 00:26:00.680
I thank you for the
manifest presence coming on
447
00:26:00.680 --> 00:26:02.660
somebody right now.
448
00:26:02.660 --> 00:26:05.360
Yes, that's the help of the Holy Spirit.
449
00:26:06.290 --> 00:26:11.290
Yes, he's bringing his comfort. Yes, he's guiding you.
450
00:26:12.020 --> 00:26:16.100
Yes, he's telling you you're gonna make it. Yes.
451
00:26:16.100 --> 00:26:18.170
He's telling you the word of God is true.
452
00:26:19.490 --> 00:26:23.180
Well, I thank you Lord for
the power of the Holy Spirit.
453
00:26:24.920 --> 00:26:27.230
We praise your Holy name Lord,
454
00:26:27.230 --> 00:26:31.430
and we give you all the
praise in Jesus' name.
455
00:26:31.430 --> 00:26:32.450
Amen.
456
00:26:33.560 --> 00:26:36.530
Well, I'll see you on the next program.
457
00:26:38.630 --> 00:26:41.810
If you've never received
Jesus as your Savior
458
00:26:41.810 --> 00:26:46.810
and Lord, now is the time for
you to experience a new life
459
00:26:46.950 --> 00:26:49.170
Jesus has to give you.
460
00:26:49.170 --> 00:26:53.520
Pray this prayer with me right now - Lord,
461
00:26:53.520 --> 00:26:58.200
I repent of my sin and receive you as my Savior
462
00:26:58.200 --> 00:27:01.500
and Lord. Wash away my sin
463
00:27:01.500 --> 00:27:04.140
and make me completely new.
464
00:27:04.140 --> 00:27:06.480
I thank you that my sin is removed
465
00:27:06.480 --> 00:27:11.480
and Satan no longer has any
right to lay claim on me.
466
00:27:11.580 --> 00:27:16.580
I faithfully promise that
I will serve you as my Lord
467
00:27:16.590 --> 00:27:19.230
for the rest of my life.
468
00:27:19.230 --> 00:27:20.230
Amen.
469
00:27:23.385 --> 00:27:26.130
If you just prayed the
prayer of salvation with us,
470
00:27:26.130 --> 00:27:28.140
would you please let us know by going
471
00:27:28.140 --> 00:27:31.110
to renner.org/salvation.
472
00:27:31.110 --> 00:27:32.790
We would love to connect with you,
473
00:27:42.690 --> 00:27:47.690
Our Father, which art in
heaven, hallowed be thy name,
474
00:27:47.970 --> 00:27:49.680
thy kingdom come,
475
00:27:49.680 --> 00:27:54.270
thy will be done in
earth as it is in heaven.
476
00:27:54.270 --> 00:27:56.880
Give us this day our daily bread
477
00:27:56.880 --> 00:28:01.560
and forgive us our debts
as we forgive our debtors,
478
00:28:01.560 --> 00:28:06.560
and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
479
00:28:06.630 --> 00:28:09.690
For thine is the kingdom and the power
480
00:28:09.690 --> 00:28:11.850
and the glory forever.
481
00:28:11.850 --> 00:28:12.683
Amen.
