00:00:01.530 --> 00:00:04.230
This program is made
possible by the giving
2
00:00:04.230 --> 00:00:08.310
of the God called partners
of Renner Ministries.
3
00:00:08.310 --> 00:00:11.520
Get ready for a teaching
that feeds your spirit
4
00:00:11.520 --> 00:00:15.090
and your mind where the
word is the anchor in
5
00:00:15.090 --> 00:00:17.070
uncertain times
6
00:00:17.070 --> 00:00:20.340
and doctrine doesn't bend to culture.
7
00:00:20.340 --> 00:00:21.780
We keep it simple,
8
00:00:21.780 --> 00:00:26.340
but dive deep, revealing a
truth that strengthens us,
9
00:00:27.210 --> 00:00:29.130
a love that emboldens,
10
00:00:30.240 --> 00:00:32.400
and a mission that touches the world.
11
00:00:34.740 --> 00:00:36.300
Let's join Rick Renner.
12
00:00:38.400 --> 00:00:39.900
Welcome to today's program
13
00:00:39.900 --> 00:00:43.110
and happy Thanksgiving
from the Renner family.
14
00:00:43.110 --> 00:00:45.480
Guys, it's Thanksgiving.
Happy Thanksgiving.
15
00:00:45.480 --> 00:00:47.580
Happy Thanksgiving.
16
00:00:47.580 --> 00:00:50.100
Am I supposed to sing? You
don't have to sing, Paul.
17
00:00:50.100 --> 00:00:51.360
Happy Thanksgiving.
18
00:00:51.360 --> 00:00:54.720
But we're so glad to be
with you on Thanksgiving
19
00:00:54.720 --> 00:00:56.340
and we've been asking you
20
00:00:56.340 --> 00:00:59.820
how big do you think is our turkey?
21
00:00:59.820 --> 00:01:02.370
And today is the day we're
going to tell you. Okay.
22
00:01:02.370 --> 00:01:03.420
Are you guys ready,
23
00:01:05.820 --> 00:01:06.820
Joel?
24
00:01:06.820 --> 00:01:10.620
How big is that turkey?
34 pounds or 34 pounds.
25
00:01:10.620 --> 00:01:14.190
15 and a half kilos. 15 and a half kilos.
26
00:01:14.190 --> 00:01:16.200
That's not the biggest
turkey we've had once.
27
00:01:16.200 --> 00:01:20.820
We had a 42 pound turkey; honey, it was enormous.
28
00:01:20.820 --> 00:01:22.230
That was enormous.
I remember trying
29
00:01:22.230 --> 00:01:24.120
to put it into this oven.
30
00:01:24.120 --> 00:01:26.520
I mean, we were like pushing
the door of the oven to get it
31
00:01:26.520 --> 00:01:27.353
Closed. Yes.
32
00:01:27.353 --> 00:01:30.870
It - Was so big we couldn't
put in the freezer whenever.
33
00:01:30.870 --> 00:01:32.760
Whenever we got it at first, we had
34
00:01:32.760 --> 00:01:35.250
to tape the freezer shut. That's correct.
35
00:01:35.250 --> 00:01:36.660
Well, and one time we got one
36
00:01:36.660 --> 00:01:38.610
so big we had to cut it in half.
37
00:01:38.610 --> 00:01:39.930
That's right. But anyway,
38
00:01:39.930 --> 00:01:42.660
today we're finally gonna
dive into the turkey.
39
00:01:42.660 --> 00:01:45.300
We did. Now, what is your
favorite piece of turkey?
40
00:01:45.300 --> 00:01:49.860
I love the wing. It is my favorite part.
41
00:01:49.860 --> 00:01:54.240
And I love the leg, but I love
the wing because it's crispy.
42
00:01:54.240 --> 00:01:56.160
And I'm gonna tell you the truth.
43
00:01:56.160 --> 00:01:59.280
I've been sitting here looking
at this turkey every day this
44
00:01:59.280 --> 00:02:01.290
week, just waiting for today.
45
00:02:01.290 --> 00:02:03.660
I'm gonna dive into that turkey
46
00:02:03.660 --> 00:02:06.600
and tomorrow it's not gonna be here.
47
00:02:06.600 --> 00:02:09.150
And we hope that today
you have a good time
48
00:02:09.150 --> 00:02:10.830
with your family and your friends.
49
00:02:10.830 --> 00:02:13.290
We hope you have a good time if you're by yourself.
50
00:02:13.290 --> 00:02:14.550
Remember that you're never alone.
51
00:02:14.550 --> 00:02:16.170
The Lord is with you.
52
00:02:16.170 --> 00:02:17.460
And if you are alone, get on the phone
53
00:02:17.460 --> 00:02:20.490
and call somebody, wish
them happy Thanksgiving.
54
00:02:20.490 --> 00:02:25.020
Take advantage of this moment
to express gratefulness to God
55
00:02:25.020 --> 00:02:27.240
and thankfulness to others.
56
00:02:27.240 --> 00:02:29.220
We have so much to be thankful for.
57
00:02:29.220 --> 00:02:32.760
And I wanna read this verse in 1 Thessalonians 5:
58
00:02:32.760 --> 00:02:34.470
16 to 18.
59
00:02:34.470 --> 00:02:38.735
It says - Rejoice always. That word always means
60
00:02:38.735 --> 00:02:40.890
always, always, always.
61
00:02:40.890 --> 00:02:44.745
Then it says - pray continually. Continually means
62
00:02:45.655 --> 00:02:46.715
continually, continually
63
00:02:46.715 --> 00:02:48.600
Means prayer should be like breathing.
64
00:02:48.600 --> 00:02:50.520
It should be a part of your life.
65
00:02:50.520 --> 00:02:53.280
It says - are you ready for this - Give thanks
66
00:02:53.280 --> 00:02:58.230
in all circumstances, it does not say,
67
00:02:58.230 --> 00:03:00.850
give thanks for all circumstances.
68
00:03:00.850 --> 00:03:02.740
You're not supposed to be thankful for everything,
69
00:03:02.740 --> 00:03:05.190
but you can be thankful in everything.
70
00:03:05.190 --> 00:03:06.970
You can find something
71
00:03:06.970 --> 00:03:08.980
to be thankful for.
72
00:03:08.980 --> 00:03:11.890
And then he says, for this is God's will
73
00:03:11.890 --> 00:03:15.460
for you in Christ Jesus.
74
00:03:15.460 --> 00:03:19.030
It is God's will that we rejoice always,
75
00:03:19.030 --> 00:03:20.980
that we pray continually,
76
00:03:20.980 --> 00:03:23.950
and that we find something
to be thankful for.
77
00:03:23.950 --> 00:03:26.710
And when you're thankful,
it changes the atmosphere.
78
00:03:26.710 --> 00:03:30.730
It changes your attitude,
changes everything around you.
79
00:03:30.730 --> 00:03:34.360
My friends, being thankful
is so important. Today is
80
00:03:34.360 --> 00:03:35.680
Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving.
81
00:03:35.680 --> 00:03:39.400
So what are you thankful for? And I want to begin - can I?
82
00:03:39.400 --> 00:03:40.630
Yes, by the way, welcome to the program,
83
00:03:40.630 --> 00:03:41.985
Denise, Paul and Joel,
84
00:03:41.985 --> 00:03:42.818
Thank you. Thank you.
85
00:03:42.818 --> 00:03:43.750
So glad that we're together.
86
00:03:43.750 --> 00:03:46.150
And when we're through here
today, we're going to eat.
87
00:03:46.150 --> 00:03:49.780
But I am thankful that since
last year at this time,
88
00:03:49.780 --> 00:03:52.180
we released the 1st volume of the RIV.
89
00:03:53.110 --> 00:03:55.780
Amazing. - Congratulations - was a major accomplishment.
90
00:03:55.780 --> 00:03:57.580
That's been on your heart for decades.
91
00:03:57.580 --> 00:03:59.350
It has. And this is just Vol.I.
92
00:03:59.350 --> 00:04:01.480
We're gonna go through
the whole New Testament,
93
00:04:01.480 --> 00:04:05.200
but the footnotes in
this book are amazing.
94
00:04:05.200 --> 00:04:07.000
I think they're the the best part.
95
00:04:07.000 --> 00:04:09.340
The footnotes are such a treasure.
96
00:04:09.340 --> 00:04:13.570
Then when we were finished
with that, next we released
97
00:04:14.560 --> 00:04:18.310
Easter, The Rest of the Story.
98
00:04:18.310 --> 00:04:20.290
And I'm thankful for that.
99
00:04:20.290 --> 00:04:23.110
And I'm thankful that
right now I'm writing
100
00:04:23.110 --> 00:04:24.580
Pentecost The Rest of the Story.
101
00:04:24.580 --> 00:04:26.230
It'll be out next year.
102
00:04:26.230 --> 00:04:27.230
I wanna say something about that
103
00:04:27.230 --> 00:04:28.063
Book. This book is beautiful.
104
00:04:28.063 --> 00:04:30.160
It is gorgeous. It's fully illustrated,
105
00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:31.750
and it took a lot time
106
00:04:31.750 --> 00:04:34.270
and effort to find the right illustration.
107
00:04:34.270 --> 00:04:37.540
It did. And I'm grateful for that artist. - Oh, I'm so
108
00:04:37.540 --> 00:04:38.650
thankful.
109
00:04:38.650 --> 00:04:39.760
And I'm thankful that
110
00:04:39.760 --> 00:04:43.870
after that, since last year at this time, we released
111
00:04:44.710 --> 00:04:47.050
My Victory Filled Day.
112
00:04:47.050 --> 00:04:50.020
It is a Sparkling Gems from the Greek Guided
113
00:04:50.020 --> 00:04:51.190
Devotional Journey.
114
00:04:51.190 --> 00:04:53.230
And it is really wonderful.
115
00:04:53.230 --> 00:04:54.280
And I'm thankful that
116
00:04:54.280 --> 00:04:58.810
after that we released - The Rapture,
117
00:04:58.810 --> 00:05:01.450
The Antichrist, and the Tribulation -
118
00:05:01.450 --> 00:05:02.710
An End-Times Countdown
119
00:05:02.710 --> 00:05:05.470
and what happens next? Look at the size of that book.
120
00:05:05.470 --> 00:05:08.350
I put so much work into this book,
121
00:05:08.350 --> 00:05:11.590
and it's also beautifully,
beautifully illustrated.
122
00:05:11.590 --> 00:05:12.670
And I'm thankful that
123
00:05:12.670 --> 00:05:17.260
after that we release the next volume
124
00:05:17.260 --> 00:05:20.740
of the RIV, which is 1st & 2nd Peter.
125
00:05:21.610 --> 00:05:25.030
Now friends, I'm gonna
tell you, that's a lot
126
00:05:25.030 --> 00:05:27.880
of new material in one year.
127
00:05:27.880 --> 00:05:31.750
Oh my. That's more than most people read.
128
00:05:31.750 --> 00:05:34.600
I write more than most people read.
129
00:05:35.830 --> 00:05:39.730
And I'm thankful that in 1978,
130
00:05:39.730 --> 00:05:41.560
the Holy Spirit spoke to me.
131
00:05:41.560 --> 00:05:44.530
And here's what he said - Write, write, write
132
00:05:45.730 --> 00:05:48.580
and I will prosper what you write.
133
00:05:50.020 --> 00:05:51.370
And I embraced that word.
134
00:05:51.370 --> 00:05:53.680
And I understood my job was to write.
135
00:05:53.680 --> 00:05:54.730
If I didn't do my part,
136
00:05:54.730 --> 00:05:56.260
there was nothing for him to prosper.
137
00:05:57.380 --> 00:06:00.440
So my job is to put my
fingers on the keyboard.
138
00:06:00.440 --> 00:06:02.810
And by the way, Denise, I work hard.
139
00:06:03.740 --> 00:06:06.260
I do research, research, research.
140
00:06:07.280 --> 00:06:08.870
When we bring you written material,
141
00:06:08.870 --> 00:06:10.730
we wanna make sure it's really backed up.
142
00:06:10.730 --> 00:06:12.980
We wanna make sure that it's
accurate, that it's teaching,
143
00:06:12.980 --> 00:06:14.840
that you can trust.
144
00:06:14.840 --> 00:06:18.860
My part is to write, God's part is to bless. I'm thankful
145
00:06:18.860 --> 00:06:20.060
he's enabled me to write.
146
00:06:20.060 --> 00:06:22.520
And I'm thankful that he has prospered
147
00:06:22.520 --> 00:06:24.710
and he has blessed what I have written.
148
00:06:24.710 --> 00:06:25.940
And one time, Denise
149
00:06:25.940 --> 00:06:29.090
and I were staying at Billy Brim's
150
00:06:30.140 --> 00:06:31.640
Prayer Mountain in the Ozarks.
151
00:06:33.800 --> 00:06:36.110
We love Billy Brim. And a group
152
00:06:36.110 --> 00:06:37.490
of intercessors came together
153
00:06:37.490 --> 00:06:39.740
that were Billy's intercessors.
154
00:06:39.740 --> 00:06:42.560
And they came in the
little cabin where we were.
155
00:06:42.560 --> 00:06:45.410
And one of them gave me a word
that I have never forgotten.
156
00:06:45.410 --> 00:06:47.900
I embraced it and it is the truth.
157
00:06:47.900 --> 00:06:52.040
One of them looked at me and said, God speaks
158
00:06:52.040 --> 00:06:53.390
through your fingers.
159
00:06:55.010 --> 00:06:56.720
I have never forgotten that.
160
00:06:57.860 --> 00:06:59.990
And I have used my faith to believe
161
00:06:59.990 --> 00:07:02.300
that when I put my
fingers on the keyboard,
162
00:07:02.300 --> 00:07:06.080
God is gonna speak through my fingers.
163
00:07:06.080 --> 00:07:09.290
And I'm thankful for those prophetic words
164
00:07:09.290 --> 00:07:11.870
in 1978: the 2nd prophetic word
165
00:07:11.870 --> 00:07:15.050
which we received at Billy's place in the Ozarks.
166
00:07:15.050 --> 00:07:16.670
I'm thankful for every book
167
00:07:16.670 --> 00:07:18.920
that God has enabled me to write.
168
00:07:18.920 --> 00:07:22.190
And I'm thankful that I've
now written over 60 books
169
00:07:22.190 --> 00:07:24.800
and I've got a long list of books in front
170
00:07:24.800 --> 00:07:26.360
of me that I wanna write.
171
00:07:26.360 --> 00:07:29.600
I'm thankful for it. I'm
really thankful for it.
172
00:07:30.620 --> 00:07:32.510
I'm gonna tell you something
else I'm thankful for.
173
00:07:32.510 --> 00:07:34.400
You know why I really
started writing books?
174
00:07:35.450 --> 00:07:37.700
Because I was wasting time.
175
00:07:37.700 --> 00:07:40.130
I was traveling by myself
preaching all over the
176
00:07:40.130 --> 00:07:43.760
United States, and
hours were just passing.
177
00:07:43.760 --> 00:07:45.050
And the Lord spoke to me one day
178
00:07:45.050 --> 00:07:46.610
and said, you're wasting your life
179
00:07:46.610 --> 00:07:48.320
and you're wasting your time.
180
00:07:48.320 --> 00:07:51.110
I told you to write, write, write.
181
00:07:51.110 --> 00:07:52.280
So I got out my computer
182
00:07:52.280 --> 00:07:55.790
and I begin to write for my
own personal self development.
183
00:07:55.790 --> 00:07:59.300
I don't write for others. I write for me.
184
00:07:59.300 --> 00:08:01.700
Because when I write, it helps me
185
00:08:01.700 --> 00:08:04.340
to really crystallize what I believe.
186
00:08:04.340 --> 00:08:05.570
I do enough research
187
00:08:05.570 --> 00:08:09.320
that I can be rock solid
convinced about what I write.
188
00:08:09.320 --> 00:08:11.540
If I'm gonna put it on
paper, it's gotta be right.
189
00:08:11.540 --> 00:08:13.160
People forget what you say,
190
00:08:13.160 --> 00:08:14.780
but they don't forget what you write
191
00:08:14.780 --> 00:08:16.340
because what you write lives.
192
00:08:17.780 --> 00:08:20.210
And it's really been for me
193
00:08:20.210 --> 00:08:22.220
that everybody else gets the blessing.
194
00:08:22.220 --> 00:08:24.020
They get the overflow.
195
00:08:24.020 --> 00:08:28.310
And I'm thankful that
God corrected my course.
196
00:08:28.310 --> 00:08:31.130
He helped me learn how to
crystallize what I believed
197
00:08:31.130 --> 00:08:35.150
to take advantage of my time
and to not waste my life.
198
00:08:35.150 --> 00:08:37.250
You know, life is very precious.
199
00:08:37.250 --> 00:08:40.070
Life is very, very precious.
200
00:08:40.070 --> 00:08:45.070
Just the other day, my
assistant, Maxine; he said
201
00:08:45.230 --> 00:08:46.970
Brother Rick, I figured out how many months
202
00:08:46.970 --> 00:08:48.620
of your life you have left to live.
203
00:08:49.940 --> 00:08:51.320
I said, well, thank you Maxine.
204
00:08:51.320 --> 00:08:53.300
Why would you think like that?
205
00:08:53.300 --> 00:08:57.030
He said, well, let's say that
you work another 25 years.
206
00:08:57.030 --> 00:08:59.520
He said, that's so many months.
207
00:08:59.520 --> 00:09:01.710
I said, why in the world
were you thinking like that?
208
00:09:02.580 --> 00:09:03.690
He said, because I was thinking,
209
00:09:03.690 --> 00:09:05.010
how long am I gonna have a job?
210
00:09:06.180 --> 00:09:08.730
But you know what? When you think like that,
211
00:09:08.730 --> 00:09:11.580
it really makes you want to take advantage of what you have
212
00:09:11.580 --> 00:09:15.060
because time flies by. It just flies by.
213
00:09:16.230 --> 00:09:18.960
And one of these days, if Jesus doesn't come in our life,
214
00:09:18.960 --> 00:09:20.970
and I pray that He does, I really believe that he will,
215
00:09:20.970 --> 00:09:23.550
but if he doesn't, life's gonna end.
216
00:09:24.900 --> 00:09:26.940
And at the end of life, I
want to be able to look back
217
00:09:26.940 --> 00:09:29.250
and say, I really used my life.
218
00:09:29.250 --> 00:09:33.030
Well. I want to hear the Lord say - Well done thou good
219
00:09:33.030 --> 00:09:34.740
and faithful servant.
220
00:09:35.640 --> 00:09:39.690
And I'm thankful that the
Lord has given me a mindset
221
00:09:39.690 --> 00:09:42.060
to really make use of my life
222
00:09:42.060 --> 00:09:44.040
and to bring forth fruit that remains.
223
00:09:44.040 --> 00:09:45.720
I'm thankful for that.
224
00:09:45.720 --> 00:09:48.720
I'm thankful that He's given
me the grace to do what I do.
225
00:09:48.720 --> 00:09:50.645
And Denise, I know you
feel the same way. I
226
00:09:51.690 --> 00:09:53.610
Absolutely, I'm so thankful.
227
00:09:53.610 --> 00:09:57.000
And Rick, I'm thankful for your hard work
228
00:09:57.000 --> 00:10:01.590
because what you're writing
is it's bearing fruit in other
229
00:10:01.590 --> 00:10:05.130
people's lives and it's
bringing help to them.
230
00:10:05.130 --> 00:10:06.240
And we have testimony
231
00:10:06.240 --> 00:10:09.780
and testimony of people
who have been blessed
232
00:10:09.780 --> 00:10:11.790
and touched by your writings.
233
00:10:11.790 --> 00:10:14.340
And I'm your biggest disciple.
234
00:10:14.340 --> 00:10:18.150
Oh, Denise, thank you. - I mean, I know a lot
235
00:10:18.150 --> 00:10:20.130
of Greek words 'cause I've listened to 'em
236
00:10:20.130 --> 00:10:22.050
for many, many, many sermons.
237
00:10:22.050 --> 00:10:23.880
Well, I have to tell you,
sometimes I watch your TV
238
00:10:23.880 --> 00:10:27.750
program, you start quoting
Greek and I'm like, wow.
239
00:10:28.800 --> 00:10:31.410
I know it's inside of me.
240
00:10:31.410 --> 00:10:33.810
And because I've listened to it so much.
241
00:10:33.810 --> 00:10:38.790
And Rick, thank you for
your tremendous hard work,
242
00:10:38.790 --> 00:10:40.590
your work ethic,
243
00:10:40.590 --> 00:10:42.930
and how you
244
00:10:42.930 --> 00:10:46.500
pour yourself into your writings.
245
00:10:46.500 --> 00:10:49.620
And it is bearing a lot, a lot of fruit.
246
00:10:49.620 --> 00:10:51.240
Whether it's my books or your books,
247
00:10:51.240 --> 00:10:52.560
because we're both writing books.
248
00:10:52.560 --> 00:10:54.870
I'm also thankful for our editorial team.
249
00:10:54.870 --> 00:10:57.330
Oh, they're amazing
Because they follow us up.
250
00:10:57.330 --> 00:10:58.920
They make sure that what we do is right.
251
00:10:58.920 --> 00:11:01.980
I'm thankful for those who
help me in Greek and Hebrew.
252
00:11:01.980 --> 00:11:04.560
I'm thankful for those
who are proof readers.
253
00:11:04.560 --> 00:11:06.960
I'm thankful, thankful, thankful, thankful
254
00:11:06.960 --> 00:11:10.890
for everybody it takes to
produce these materials.
255
00:11:10.890 --> 00:11:15.690
And Joel, we have 150 study guides.
256
00:11:15.690 --> 00:11:20.430
I mean, think about that
number - 150 study guides.
257
00:11:20.430 --> 00:11:23.730
Yes. And we, we give
away so many of them.
258
00:11:23.730 --> 00:11:25.560
And we're happy to do
that. We wanna provide
259
00:11:25.560 --> 00:11:27.270
teaching. People can trust.
260
00:11:27.270 --> 00:11:30.000
Oh, we believe in sowing seed. Absolutely. We sow a lot of
261
00:11:30.000 --> 00:11:31.000
seed.
262
00:11:31.000 --> 00:11:32.820
And we do. And we're happy to do it.
263
00:11:32.820 --> 00:11:34.200
But I want to, I wanna say something.
264
00:11:34.200 --> 00:11:36.000
I'm holding your book about the rapture.
265
00:11:36.000 --> 00:11:38.610
Okay. - And I see this wonderful name forward
266
00:11:38.610 --> 00:11:39.630
by Jimmy Evans.
267
00:11:39.630 --> 00:11:41.160
Yes, he's a precious brother.
268
00:11:41.160 --> 00:11:42.840
And it makes me think
about how I'm grateful
269
00:11:42.840 --> 00:11:47.310
for ministry friends,
friends of our ministry,
270
00:11:47.310 --> 00:11:48.990
and just friends in life.
271
00:11:48.990 --> 00:11:51.840
You know, the Bible says, if
it's better to walk together,
272
00:11:51.840 --> 00:11:55.510
because if you fall, your
other friend can pull you up.
273
00:11:55.510 --> 00:11:57.100
And that is the truth.
274
00:11:57.100 --> 00:12:01.210
I'm so grateful for so many
friends who walk life with us.
275
00:12:01.210 --> 00:12:05.230
I say, we play life together.
And it's just the truth.
276
00:12:05.230 --> 00:12:07.480
It's better to play life with somebody.
277
00:12:07.480 --> 00:12:08.680
Do you know, one day Denise
278
00:12:08.680 --> 00:12:10.780
and I were with some friends in ministry
279
00:12:11.950 --> 00:12:15.400
and we were just talking among ourselves.
280
00:12:16.330 --> 00:12:19.480
And for some reason we
got on a wrong track.
281
00:12:19.480 --> 00:12:21.880
And we began talking
about our bad experiences.
282
00:12:23.230 --> 00:12:24.460
And we talked and talked
283
00:12:24.460 --> 00:12:26.890
and talked about this
person that did wrong,
284
00:12:26.890 --> 00:12:28.210
and this person that did this,
285
00:12:28.210 --> 00:12:30.310
and this person that did this.
286
00:12:30.310 --> 00:12:31.870
And finally, we all looked at each other
287
00:12:31.870 --> 00:12:35.140
and said, what in the world are we doing?
288
00:12:35.140 --> 00:12:36.820
And so we just decided to reverse it.
289
00:12:37.810 --> 00:12:39.760
And we all started
talking about the people
290
00:12:39.760 --> 00:12:42.010
that have been a blessing
in our life, people
291
00:12:42.010 --> 00:12:44.140
that we were thankful for.
292
00:12:44.140 --> 00:12:46.510
And you know what? I actually made a list.
293
00:12:46.510 --> 00:12:48.190
I pulled out a piece of paper
294
00:12:48.190 --> 00:12:52.030
and begin to write down all
the people I could think about
295
00:12:52.030 --> 00:12:54.250
that have been a blessing in my life
296
00:12:54.250 --> 00:12:56.350
and that I am thankful for.
297
00:12:56.350 --> 00:12:59.230
And it was pages and
pages and pages and pages.
298
00:12:59.230 --> 00:13:03.040
And I'm not exaggerating,
beginning with my childhood,
299
00:13:03.040 --> 00:13:07.360
Nina Reeves, the one who held
me as a baby in the nursery
300
00:13:07.360 --> 00:13:10.030
of the Glenwood Baptist
Church when I was growing up.
301
00:13:10.030 --> 00:13:12.130
I'm so thankful for Nina Reeves.
302
00:13:12.130 --> 00:13:15.460
She impacted my life from
the time that I was small.
303
00:13:15.460 --> 00:13:17.740
That's how far back I went
304
00:13:17.740 --> 00:13:19.900
and begin to make a list
of who I'm thankful for.
305
00:13:19.900 --> 00:13:24.040
Now, I just heard somebody out there thinking - Well,
306
00:13:24.040 --> 00:13:26.560
I don't have many people that have been good to me.
307
00:13:26.560 --> 00:13:28.810
I don't have many people that I've been thankful for.
308
00:13:30.040 --> 00:13:32.860
Well, then you can be thankful that you can be good
309
00:13:32.860 --> 00:13:33.880
to somebody else.
310
00:13:35.650 --> 00:13:36.880
You can say, Lord, I'm thankful
311
00:13:36.880 --> 00:13:40.360
that you've used me to help somebody.
312
00:13:40.360 --> 00:13:44.290
If you have to search until you find someone you're thankful
313
00:13:44.290 --> 00:13:46.480
for or something to be thankful about.
314
00:13:46.480 --> 00:13:47.480
Paul -
315
00:13:48.820 --> 00:13:49.820
You begin this program,
316
00:13:49.820 --> 00:13:53.740
you spoke to people who were spending Thanksgiving alone.
317
00:13:53.740 --> 00:13:57.100
Yes. - I spent one Thanksgiving alone.
318
00:13:57.970 --> 00:13:59.350
It wasn't very much fun.
319
00:14:00.190 --> 00:14:04.690
I was sick at home while everybody else was eating turkey.
320
00:14:05.710 --> 00:14:10.090
And most importantly, pumpkin pie.
321
00:14:12.460 --> 00:14:14.830
And I knew that I was at home sick
322
00:14:15.850 --> 00:14:20.850
and everyone was eating pumpkin pie with whipped cream.
323
00:14:21.220 --> 00:14:22.810
Your favorite - without me.
324
00:14:25.300 --> 00:14:27.490
And I was at home alone.
325
00:14:29.410 --> 00:14:32.740
It was boring. But you know what happened?
326
00:14:33.730 --> 00:14:36.940
They brought me a pumpkin pie
327
00:14:36.940 --> 00:14:39.220
and I ate a whole pumpkin pie
328
00:14:39.220 --> 00:14:44.220
by myself. Sometimes -
329
00:14:46.000 --> 00:14:48.970
sometimes we spend special
330
00:14:48.970 --> 00:14:51.860
days alone.
331
00:14:51.860 --> 00:14:53.570
And, and that's not very much fun.
332
00:14:55.580 --> 00:14:58.745
And then my story ended well,
they brought me a pumpkin pie
333
00:14:58.745 --> 00:15:02.090
and, and we put a lot of effort into spending Thanksgiving
334
00:15:02.090 --> 00:15:03.860
and Christmas and birthdays together.
335
00:15:04.970 --> 00:15:08.630
And most of the time it works
out, sometimes it doesn't.
336
00:15:08.630 --> 00:15:10.850
I think there's only been one year
337
00:15:10.850 --> 00:15:14.360
where we haven't spent
Thanksgiving all together.
338
00:15:14.360 --> 00:15:16.970
We were traveling and it
just kind of didn't work out.
339
00:15:19.310 --> 00:15:22.580
And so spending time together
340
00:15:22.580 --> 00:15:24.530
as a family is very important.
341
00:15:25.370 --> 00:15:29.210
But even if you're alone,
there are some good things
342
00:15:29.210 --> 00:15:33.200
to remember and there are things
343
00:15:33.200 --> 00:15:34.400
to look forward to.
344
00:15:36.650 --> 00:15:39.890
I was thinking about things
that we're grateful for
345
00:15:39.890 --> 00:15:41.090
and you know, we, we'd be talking
346
00:15:41.090 --> 00:15:43.040
about things to be grateful for.
347
00:15:43.040 --> 00:15:46.550
I am so grateful that I have
things to look forward to:
348
00:15:47.600 --> 00:15:48.920
not just things that have happened.
349
00:15:49.895 --> 00:15:52.370
I have hope. - Like what Paul?
350
00:15:54.415 --> 00:15:56.540
I believe that their church will grow.
351
00:15:56.540 --> 00:16:01.130
I believe that the Lord
will take care of my family.
352
00:16:02.000 --> 00:16:03.830
I believe that I'll finally finish the
353
00:16:03.830 --> 00:16:04.850
house that I'm building.
354
00:16:06.380 --> 00:16:09.920
I mean, I have so many things
that I'm, I can look forward
355
00:16:09.920 --> 00:16:12.140
to and, and sometimes
they're small things,
356
00:16:12.140 --> 00:16:13.520
sometimes they're big things.
357
00:16:14.810 --> 00:16:17.510
I can, I look forward, you
know, to all these things.
358
00:16:18.590 --> 00:16:20.510
And so there's things to hold onto.
359
00:16:20.510 --> 00:16:21.980
That's, that's what I wanna say.
360
00:16:21.980 --> 00:16:24.410
There are things to hold onto,
361
00:16:24.410 --> 00:16:27.020
even if you're spending
Thanksgiving alone,
362
00:16:27.020 --> 00:16:29.210
there are things to hold onto.
363
00:16:29.210 --> 00:16:31.490
And those are valuable things.
364
00:16:31.490 --> 00:16:32.930
And I have a story, I have another story.
365
00:16:32.930 --> 00:16:35.600
Can I share another story?
Sure. I've got stories.
366
00:16:35.600 --> 00:16:38.570
I came with stories. Alright.
367
00:16:38.570 --> 00:16:41.330
So it's, it's a story
about God's protection.
368
00:16:45.110 --> 00:16:46.700
Me and Paulina were working on our house
369
00:16:46.700 --> 00:16:49.880
and we set aside some money
370
00:16:49.880 --> 00:16:51.980
to finish our floors.
371
00:16:53.090 --> 00:16:54.290
And it's a big deal. I mean, we,
372
00:16:54.290 --> 00:16:55.610
we've been setting aside this money
373
00:16:55.610 --> 00:16:56.690
because the Lord told us
374
00:16:56.690 --> 00:17:00.200
to build our house without
borrowing money. And so,
375
00:17:00.200 --> 00:17:01.880
And all you had was concrete floors.
376
00:17:01.880 --> 00:17:03.380
And all we had was
these concrete floors.
377
00:17:03.380 --> 00:17:04.910
And so we're only living
in part of our house.
378
00:17:04.910 --> 00:17:06.380
Part of our house we're still working on.
379
00:17:06.380 --> 00:17:07.880
It's, it's, it's such a long project
380
00:17:07.880 --> 00:17:10.400
where you're doing it cash only.
381
00:17:10.400 --> 00:17:14.330
And so we set aside some
money to finish our floors.
382
00:17:14.330 --> 00:17:16.490
Big deal. Hallelujah. We got the money.
383
00:17:16.490 --> 00:17:19.880
And I'm supposed to go pay
for the floors in the morning.
384
00:17:21.200 --> 00:17:24.110
And William, my oldest son,
he gets this phone call
385
00:17:24.110 --> 00:17:27.890
and it's a phone scammer, but
he, he doesn't catch onto it.
386
00:17:28.820 --> 00:17:30.350
And, and he's, he's,
387
00:17:30.350 --> 00:17:32.480
he's all emotionally
involved in everything
388
00:17:32.480 --> 00:17:35.060
that this person on the
phone is telling him.
389
00:17:35.060 --> 00:17:39.650
Well, moments before William
picked up the phone call,
390
00:17:39.650 --> 00:17:43.010
he knew where the money
was at home moments
391
00:17:43.010 --> 00:17:44.720
before this phone call,
392
00:17:44.720 --> 00:17:46.490
I took the money and I went to church.
393
00:17:47.720 --> 00:17:52.650
And so there was no money at
home for this scammer to scam.
394
00:17:53.580 --> 00:17:55.290
But William was very emotionally
395
00:17:55.290 --> 00:17:56.610
involved in this conversation.
396
00:17:56.610 --> 00:17:58.530
He felt like it was so
urgent and so important.
397
00:17:58.530 --> 00:18:01.050
He thought it was a real
call, real important.
398
00:18:01.050 --> 00:18:04.500
And, and so he came to church
and asked me for the money.
399
00:18:04.500 --> 00:18:09.500
And the way he asked me for
the money was so serious that
400
00:18:09.965 --> 00:18:12.540
I would have given him anything
401
00:18:12.540 --> 00:18:15.510
because my son was asking me for something
402
00:18:15.510 --> 00:18:19.260
that was obviously very important to him.
403
00:18:20.850 --> 00:18:23.820
And then his phone died and, and, and the,
404
00:18:23.820 --> 00:18:25.830
and the call was disconnected.
405
00:18:25.830 --> 00:18:28.230
And, and I was able to
talk to him for a moment.
406
00:18:28.230 --> 00:18:31.740
And I was like, William,
that's a phone scam.
407
00:18:31.740 --> 00:18:34.530
He's like, no, no, no.
This is so important.
408
00:18:34.530 --> 00:18:37.590
I said, William, you're being scammed.
409
00:18:37.590 --> 00:18:41.610
And and the phone died exactly
at the moment when I would
410
00:18:41.610 --> 00:18:43.650
have given him the money.
411
00:18:43.650 --> 00:18:47.400
The money wasn't at home
when he was went to go look
412
00:18:47.400 --> 00:18:49.350
for the money that, I mean,
413
00:18:49.350 --> 00:18:51.990
and there were several
other different, you know,
414
00:18:51.990 --> 00:18:55.050
moments in this two hour period
415
00:18:55.050 --> 00:18:57.810
that the Lord protected us: one time, 2nd time,
416
00:18:57.810 --> 00:18:59.520
3rd time, 4th time.
417
00:18:59.520 --> 00:19:04.520
And, and you know, William learned a very important lesson.
418
00:19:05.070 --> 00:19:07.260
He learned, you know,
what phones cameras are
419
00:19:07.260 --> 00:19:08.430
and how they talk to you and how
420
00:19:08.430 --> 00:19:10.320
to protect yourself from it in the future.
421
00:19:11.670 --> 00:19:13.890
And he went through this
whole emotional thing,
422
00:19:13.890 --> 00:19:15.330
which wasn't very pleasant.
423
00:19:15.330 --> 00:19:18.990
But you know, now, you know,
great, great life lesson.
424
00:19:20.250 --> 00:19:23.580
He learned that if he really needs money
425
00:19:23.580 --> 00:19:26.100
and I have it, I'm willing to give it.
426
00:19:26.100 --> 00:19:28.950
But the Lord protected us
through that whole situation.
427
00:19:30.600 --> 00:19:34.260
And so I'm grateful that the Lord was
428
00:19:34.260 --> 00:19:38.280
with us in that emotional,
very short, very,
429
00:19:38.280 --> 00:19:39.720
very emotional
430
00:19:39.720 --> 00:19:44.370
few hours. And as we sit down to be you know, thankful,
431
00:19:44.370 --> 00:19:48.030
thank the Lord, we can not
just be thankful for what,
432
00:19:48.030 --> 00:19:51.690
what we bought or what, what happened new
433
00:19:51.690 --> 00:19:53.910
or you know, exciting in our life.
434
00:19:53.910 --> 00:19:56.070
We can be thankful that the Lord protected
435
00:19:56.070 --> 00:19:57.720
us and that he guided us.
436
00:19:57.720 --> 00:19:59.700
And even in the smallest things,
437
00:19:59.700 --> 00:20:01.260
sometimes you don't notice it.
438
00:20:01.260 --> 00:20:03.490
But even in the smallest things
439
00:20:03.490 --> 00:20:06.660
of when you do something,
the Lord is in that too.
440
00:20:06.660 --> 00:20:08.880
He's protecting you.
Okay?
441
00:20:08.880 --> 00:20:11.070
How much there is to be thankful for.
442
00:20:11.070 --> 00:20:12.870
You know, Paul, you talked about the fact
443
00:20:12.870 --> 00:20:16.320
that some people on Thanksgiving are alone.
444
00:20:16.320 --> 00:20:18.960
Well, to be honest, in Russia,
445
00:20:20.190 --> 00:20:22.170
Thanksgiving is not a holiday.
446
00:20:22.170 --> 00:20:26.250
Do you know the December 25th, Western Christmas,
447
00:20:26.250 --> 00:20:28.140
it's not Christmas here.
448
00:20:28.140 --> 00:20:30.870
Christmas in Russia is on January 7th
449
00:20:30.870 --> 00:20:33.570
and on January 7th, we
always have church services.
450
00:20:34.410 --> 00:20:36.720
So we're never able to
get together as a family.
451
00:20:36.720 --> 00:20:38.940
Sometimes things don't
work out on the day you
452
00:20:38.940 --> 00:20:40.050
want it to work out on.
453
00:20:40.890 --> 00:20:43.050
And so we just have to find
the time to get together.
454
00:20:43.980 --> 00:20:47.110
And usually we don't celebrate
Thanksgiving on Thanksgiving,
455
00:20:47.110 --> 00:20:48.340
but we find another day,
456
00:20:49.180 --> 00:20:52.870
or we don't celebrate
Christmas on December 25th.
457
00:20:52.870 --> 00:20:55.030
We cannot celebrate it on January 7th
458
00:20:55.030 --> 00:20:57.580
because we're a church,
we find another day.
459
00:20:58.600 --> 00:21:01.780
And if things don't work out
exactly the way you wanted
460
00:21:01.780 --> 00:21:04.180
to work out on the right
day, then find another time.
461
00:21:05.050 --> 00:21:07.060
The day is not so important.
462
00:21:07.060 --> 00:21:08.800
It's finding a time to be together.
463
00:21:09.670 --> 00:21:12.820
It's finding a time to be
with people that you love
464
00:21:12.820 --> 00:21:16.690
and to express your heart and
to be thankful. Amen, Denise.
465
00:21:16.690 --> 00:21:20.140
Amen. The important thing
is that, that you speak
466
00:21:20.140 --> 00:21:22.000
that Thanksgiving to one another.
467
00:21:22.000 --> 00:21:25.030
You show that Thanksgiving to one another.
468
00:21:25.030 --> 00:21:28.450
As we've been talking, you
know, people go to funerals
469
00:21:28.450 --> 00:21:30.820
and at funerals they always stand up
470
00:21:30.820 --> 00:21:33.910
and they say, oh, this
person was so wonderful.
471
00:21:33.910 --> 00:21:35.500
And they say all these things.
472
00:21:35.500 --> 00:21:37.240
And one day I was thinking,
473
00:21:37.240 --> 00:21:40.480
why aren't you telling
them while they're alive?
474
00:21:40.480 --> 00:21:42.520
We need to be telling each other
475
00:21:42.520 --> 00:21:47.020
how much we appreciate each
other while we're living.
476
00:21:47.020 --> 00:21:49.540
Because when they're in that casket,
477
00:21:49.540 --> 00:21:51.580
it's not doing them any good.
478
00:21:51.580 --> 00:21:54.940
But if you can say it to
them face to face right now,
479
00:21:54.940 --> 00:21:56.770
when they're alive,
480
00:21:56.770 --> 00:22:01.510
you could be just putting
fuel in their tank to go on
481
00:22:01.510 --> 00:22:04.480
and to believe God and to not give up.
482
00:22:04.480 --> 00:22:07.360
Amen. Well, we're out of time.
483
00:22:07.360 --> 00:22:08.560
Well, we're gonna be back tomorrow,
484
00:22:08.560 --> 00:22:13.560
but when you come back tomorrow, this turkey's gonna be gone
485
00:22:14.140 --> 00:22:17.920
because these 4-Renners, we're gonna dive in.
486
00:22:17.920 --> 00:22:22.390
And guys, I'm going form that wing right there.
487
00:22:22.390 --> 00:22:24.855
It's been looking at you - and I've been looking at it.
488
00:22:24.855 --> 00:22:26.890
Oh yeah.
And I'm looking forward to,
489
00:22:26.890 --> 00:22:28.390
but we'll be back in just a moment
490
00:22:28.390 --> 00:22:29.590
and we're going to pray for you.
491
00:22:37.720 --> 00:22:39.580
How did you start writing books?
492
00:22:39.580 --> 00:22:41.380
Well, by the time I was 14,
493
00:22:41.380 --> 00:22:44.110
I knew I was called into the ministry
494
00:22:44.110 --> 00:22:46.360
and I knew I was going to be
teaching from the Greek New
495
00:22:46.360 --> 00:22:49.690
Testament, and I knew I was
going to be writing books.
496
00:22:49.690 --> 00:22:54.580
So when I was 16 years old, I
began to write my 1st book.
497
00:22:54.580 --> 00:22:57.460
And that book was called The Perfect Gift,
498
00:22:57.460 --> 00:22:59.980
and it was about 5-fold ministry.
499
00:22:59.980 --> 00:23:03.370
And Joel, that early manuscript became
500
00:23:03.370 --> 00:23:05.440
Apostles and Prophets.
501
00:23:05.440 --> 00:23:07.990
Now today, this is quite
a substantial book,
502
00:23:07.990 --> 00:23:11.140
but the truth is the bare bones of this
503
00:23:11.140 --> 00:23:13.600
I wrote when I was 16 years old.
504
00:23:13.600 --> 00:23:17.860
Then in 1978, the Holy Spirit said to me,
505
00:23:17.860 --> 00:23:19.810
write, write, write,
506
00:23:19.810 --> 00:23:21.490
and I will bless what you write.
507
00:23:21.490 --> 00:23:26.490
And I understood my job was to
write. His job was to bless.
508
00:23:26.560 --> 00:23:28.690
If I didn't write, there
wouldn't be anything to bless,
509
00:23:28.690 --> 00:23:31.450
but if I would write, he would bless it.
510
00:23:31.450 --> 00:23:33.730
And so my job was to write, write, write.
511
00:23:33.730 --> 00:23:36.250
And I've been writing ever since
512
00:23:36.250 --> 00:23:40.960

so please put your hand on your heart and let's join hands
567
00:26:04.280 --> 00:26:07.760
guys. Father, first of all, we thank you for Philip and Ella
568
00:26:07.760 --> 00:26:09.950
and their girls that are not here with us today,
569
00:26:09.950 --> 00:26:12.230
but we ask you to bless them.
570
00:26:12.230 --> 00:26:14.840
Lord, we ask you to bless our partners.
571
00:26:14.840 --> 00:26:17.630
Oh Father, in the name of Jesus, I pray
572
00:26:17.630 --> 00:26:20.690
that you would cause your goodness to overflow in their life
573
00:26:20.690 --> 00:26:24.320
and that today they would be
able to bring to remembrance
574
00:26:25.280 --> 00:26:28.730
so many things that they
have to be thankful for.
575
00:26:28.730 --> 00:26:30.590
Lord, you're so good.
Thank you for your grace.
576
00:26:30.590 --> 00:26:32.930
Thank you for your power.
Thank you for your mercy.
577
00:26:32.930 --> 00:26:34.190
Thank you for your forgiveness.
578
00:26:34.190 --> 00:26:37.160
Thank you for your
empowerment in our lives.
579
00:26:37.160 --> 00:26:41.390
In Jesus' name, Amen. Amen. Amen.
580
00:26:41.390 --> 00:26:42.800
We'll see you tomorrow,
581
00:26:42.800 --> 00:26:45.630
but until then, remember Ecclesiastes 8:4
582
00:26:45.630 --> 00:26:49.170
says, "Where the word of king is,
583
00:26:49.170 --> 00:26:51.480
is there is power."
584
00:26:51.480 --> 00:26:53.700
If you've never received
Jesus as your Savior
585
00:26:53.700 --> 00:26:58.080
and Lord, now is the time for
you to experience a new life
586
00:26:58.080 --> 00:27:00.240
Jesus has to give you.
587
00:27:00.240 --> 00:27:04.320
Pray this prayer with me right now - Lord,
588
00:27:04.320 --> 00:27:08.340
I repent of my sin and receive you as my Savior
589
00:27:08.340 --> 00:27:11.310
and Lord. Wash away my sin
590
00:27:11.310 --> 00:27:14.340
and make me completely new.
591
00:27:14.340 --> 00:27:18.240
I thank you that my sin is removed
592
00:27:18.240 --> 00:27:23.240
and Satan no longer has any
right to lay claim on me.
593
00:27:23.670 --> 00:27:27.660
I faithfully promise that
I will serve you as my Lord
594
00:27:27.660 --> 00:27:29.340
for the rest of my life
595
00:27:30.240 --> 00:27:34.830
Amen. If you just prayed
the prayer of salvation
596
00:27:34.830 --> 00:27:37.500
with us, would you please
let us know by going
597
00:27:37.500 --> 00:27:40.500
