This program is made possible by the giving
2
00:00:03.300 --> 00:00:06.180
of the God called partners of Renner Ministries.
3
00:00:07.260 --> 00:00:08.580
Hello friend.
4
00:00:08.580 --> 00:00:10.410
My name is Denise Renner
5
00:00:10.410 --> 00:00:12.720
and I wanna welcome you to the program.
6
00:00:12.720 --> 00:00:15.000
We've been talking about a subject
7
00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:19.590
that I think probably has touched you at one point in your
8
00:00:19.590 --> 00:00:23.160
life when you were worrying.
9
00:00:23.160 --> 00:00:26.910
Have you ever worried?
Are you worried right now?
10
00:00:26.910 --> 00:00:30.090
Are you fighting worry?
Are you resisting worry?
11
00:00:30.090 --> 00:00:33.540
Did you even know that
you can resist worry?
12
00:00:33.540 --> 00:00:38.070
Or did you think that I'm
just a slave to this worry?
13
00:00:38.070 --> 00:00:42.960
I've known people who are
have been slaves to worry
14
00:00:42.960 --> 00:00:47.280
and that worry, it stole their health.
15
00:00:48.240 --> 00:00:52.140
We weren't made to carry worry.
16
00:00:52.140 --> 00:00:56.760
Our physical bodies were
not made to carry worry.
17
00:00:56.760 --> 00:01:01.530
And Jesus said, I wanna take
your heavy burden and just,
18
00:01:01.530 --> 00:01:03.570
and all you need is a light burden.
19
00:01:03.570 --> 00:01:06.030
It says that in Matthew.
20
00:01:06.030 --> 00:01:08.760
And so we need to find out then
21
00:01:08.760 --> 00:01:12.330
how can I live in peace
22
00:01:12.330 --> 00:01:14.670
and not in worry?
23
00:01:14.670 --> 00:01:17.640
Jesus has a lot to say
about it in his word,
24
00:01:17.640 --> 00:01:19.380
and that's what we've been talking about,
25
00:01:19.380 --> 00:01:21.660
and I've even been
hearing from some of you.
26
00:01:21.660 --> 00:01:24.810
Thank you so much for your comments about
27
00:01:24.810 --> 00:01:27.450
how this teaching is helping you.
28
00:01:27.450 --> 00:01:30.690
And if you need prayer, I
want you to call us for prayer
29
00:01:30.690 --> 00:01:33.420
because we're there to agree with you.
30
00:01:33.420 --> 00:01:38.040
And also, I wanna offer you the 5-part video
31
00:01:38.040 --> 00:01:42.270
series and the companion study guide.
32
00:01:42.270 --> 00:01:45.210
And if you are worried about your health,
33
00:01:45.210 --> 00:01:48.780
this book could be a real answer to you -
34
00:01:48.780 --> 00:01:51.780
Jesus Is Your Healer,
35
00:01:51.780 --> 00:01:53.640
and every drop of blood
36
00:01:53.640 --> 00:01:57.480
that flowed from his body was your redemption,
37
00:01:57.480 --> 00:02:00.930
was your deliverance, was your salvation.
38
00:02:00.930 --> 00:02:01.980
But also in
39
00:02:01.980 --> 00:02:06.270
that salvation package is healing.
40
00:02:06.270 --> 00:02:08.400
I want you to have this book.
41
00:02:08.400 --> 00:02:12.150
Well stay with me and
I'm coming right back
42
00:02:12.150 --> 00:02:16.500
and we are gonna see how
we can be free from worry.
43
00:02:17.340 --> 00:02:21.240
It's time for big miracles
and changes in your life.
44
00:02:22.200 --> 00:02:23.460
Join Denise Renner
45
00:02:23.460 --> 00:02:27.060

47
00:02:31.140 --> 00:02:33.660
and spiritually, and most importantly,
48
00:02:33.660 --> 00:02:35.843
help you learn about the power
49
00:02:35.843 --> 00:02:37.950
of Christ Jesus living in you.
50
00:02:37.950 --> 00:02:40.020
It's time with Denise Renner.
51
00:02:42.300 --> 00:02:46.140
Friend. We're gonna talk
today about worry being
52
00:02:46.140 --> 00:02:47.790
a habit.
53
00:02:47.790 --> 00:02:49.800
Now, why would I say that?
54
00:02:49.800 --> 00:02:51.780
I can honestly tell you
55
00:02:51.780 --> 00:02:54.600
that there have been times in my life
56
00:02:54.600 --> 00:02:57.630
that worry was a habit.
57
00:02:57.630 --> 00:02:59.530
I would get to one subject
58
00:02:59.530 --> 00:03:03.190
and it would just like you turned on a switch -
59
00:03:03.190 --> 00:03:05.170
and you are,
60
00:03:05.170 --> 00:03:08.410
you are now into this habitual,
61
00:03:09.700 --> 00:03:14.110
same kind of thoughts, same
kind of thought patterns and,
62
00:03:14.110 --> 00:03:16.900
and it's like habitual worry.
63
00:03:18.280 --> 00:03:23.200
Maybe you don't worry about
this or that or money or, or,
64
00:03:23.200 --> 00:03:24.610
or something else
65
00:03:24.610 --> 00:03:29.610
but you have one thing
that gets you every time
66
00:03:29.770 --> 00:03:32.740
and, and it just turns on that worry.
67
00:03:32.740 --> 00:03:37.240
And it can be like a habit, like,
68
00:03:37.240 --> 00:03:40.780
like a habit, like like the way that you,
69
00:03:40.780 --> 00:03:44.110
maybe you brush your teeth in a certain way
70
00:03:44.110 --> 00:03:48.640
or it's your habit to do it in a certain way.
71
00:03:48.640 --> 00:03:50.410
You hold your toothbrush in a certain way,
72
00:03:50.410 --> 00:03:52.390
you have a certain kind of toothbrush,
73
00:03:52.390 --> 00:03:56.770
you have a certain kind of toothpaste, and it's your habit.
74
00:03:57.640 --> 00:03:59.440
And when
75
00:03:59.440 --> 00:04:04.090
that particular subject touches your life,
76
00:04:04.090 --> 00:04:07.900
it's like there's a whole string of just thoughts
77
00:04:07.900 --> 00:04:10.600
and mental process.
78
00:04:10.600 --> 00:04:13.090
And it's just a habit.
79
00:04:15.250 --> 00:04:18.700
And I wanna say that if it's a habit,
80
00:04:18.700 --> 00:04:21.850
it can be a stronghold.
81
00:04:21.850 --> 00:04:25.540
It can open a door for the enemy to come in there
82
00:04:25.540 --> 00:04:29.710
and absolutely steal
your peace over and over
83
00:04:29.710 --> 00:04:30.970
and over again.
84
00:04:30.970 --> 00:04:33.970
And you see, he doesn't
have any right to your peace
85
00:04:33.970 --> 00:04:37.900
because Jesus paid the price for us
86
00:04:37.900 --> 00:04:39.280
to have peace,
87
00:04:40.660 --> 00:04:44.710
and he put His Holy Spirit
on the inside of us,
88
00:04:46.240 --> 00:04:50.050
the fruit of the spirit,
one of the fruits is peace.
89
00:04:50.050 --> 00:04:53.230
So we have a right to peace.
90
00:04:54.310 --> 00:04:55.360
So let me just talk
91
00:04:55.360 --> 00:04:58.570
to you about pulling down this stronghold.
92
00:04:58.570 --> 00:05:01.930
If that's you, then
this is gonna help you.
93
00:05:01.930 --> 00:05:06.130
So it says in 2 Corinthians 10:4
94
00:05:06.130 --> 00:05:09.160
and 5: talking about strongholds.
95
00:05:09.160 --> 00:05:13.420
It says, for the weapons of
our warfare are not carnal,
96
00:05:13.420 --> 00:05:16.570
but they're mighty, mighty in God
97
00:05:16.570 --> 00:05:19.210
for pulling down a stronghold.
98
00:05:19.210 --> 00:05:22.780
So if there is a stronghold
and you've worried and worried
99
00:05:22.780 --> 00:05:27.250
and worried and you even almost believe that you are right
100
00:05:27.250 --> 00:05:28.600
and you're worrying
101
00:05:28.600 --> 00:05:31.060
and it's opened the door,
it can even open the door
102
00:05:31.060 --> 00:05:32.500
to sickness in your life
103
00:05:32.500 --> 00:05:36.640
because you're worried,
then that's a stronghold
104
00:05:36.640 --> 00:05:39.580
that you want to pull down.
105
00:05:39.580 --> 00:05:44.440
And the Bible says that we have weapons that are not carnal,
106
00:05:44.440 --> 00:05:45.670
but they're mighty.
107
00:05:45.670 --> 00:05:48.610
They're mighty through God.
So let's see what they are.
108
00:05:50.560 --> 00:05:54.370
Casting down arguments
109
00:05:54.370 --> 00:05:58.010
and every thought, every high thing
110
00:05:58.010 --> 00:06:01.580
that exalts itself against the knowledge of God,
111
00:06:01.580 --> 00:06:06.170
bringing every thought into captivity
112
00:06:06.170 --> 00:06:09.380
to the obedience of Christ.
113
00:06:10.250 --> 00:06:15.020
You see, just the language in this
114
00:06:15.020 --> 00:06:20.020
verse shows that you're not the victim,
115
00:06:20.180 --> 00:06:21.620
you're the victor.
116
00:06:21.620 --> 00:06:23.990
You're the one with the power here.
117
00:06:23.990 --> 00:06:27.170
You're the one who's gonna
bring down that stronghold.
118
00:06:27.170 --> 00:06:29.000
You're gonna, you're the
one who's gonna bring
119
00:06:29.000 --> 00:06:32.540
that thought into captivity.
120
00:06:32.540 --> 00:06:34.610
I think that's powerful.
121
00:06:34.610 --> 00:06:38.510
So let's start at the beginning of that verse, verse 5:
122
00:06:38.510 --> 00:06:40.550
Casting down arguments
123
00:06:40.550 --> 00:06:42.020
and every high thing
124
00:06:42.020 --> 00:06:44.570
that exalts itself against
the knowledge of God.
125
00:06:46.490 --> 00:06:48.500
So you say, how can I cast it down?
126
00:06:51.290 --> 00:06:55.190
Well, I just do what the Bible says.
127
00:06:55.190 --> 00:06:59.450
I cast it down like, like a thought comes
128
00:06:59.450 --> 00:07:04.430
and I say, I am not going to receive that
129
00:07:05.360 --> 00:07:07.670
and I cast it down.
130
00:07:08.570 --> 00:07:11.240
And it's interesting that we cast it down
131
00:07:11.240 --> 00:07:13.010
because you know the Bible says
132
00:07:13.010 --> 00:07:15.770
that the enemy's under our feet; it says
133
00:07:15.770 --> 00:07:18.530
that in Ephesians 2.
134
00:07:18.530 --> 00:07:22.190
It says, we're seated with Christ in heavenly places
135
00:07:22.190 --> 00:07:23.600
with Christ Jesus.
136
00:07:23.600 --> 00:07:26.510
So the enemy is under our feet.
137
00:07:26.510 --> 00:07:31.250
Well, when we cast down that high thought,
138
00:07:31.250 --> 00:07:34.520
that's against the knowledge
of God, we are bringing
139
00:07:34.520 --> 00:07:36.350
that thought right
140
00:07:36.350 --> 00:07:39.920
where it belongs - under our feet,
141
00:07:39.920 --> 00:07:44.840
under our authority. Not us under its authority,
142
00:07:44.840 --> 00:07:48.320
but that thought under our
143
00:07:48.320 --> 00:07:50.780
authority. That's powerful
144
00:07:50.780 --> 00:07:54.410
what I'm saying to you. You have power, friend.
145
00:07:54.410 --> 00:07:59.060
You don't have to be just the subject of worry:
146
00:07:59.060 --> 00:08:01.430
like I'm, I'm subject to worry.
147
00:08:01.430 --> 00:08:04.610
I can't do anything about
it. No, that's not true.
148
00:08:04.610 --> 00:08:06.320
That is absolutely not true.
149
00:08:08.330 --> 00:08:13.330
You can start casting down every thought.
150
00:08:13.340 --> 00:08:15.770
You say, well, do I have
to cast down every thought?
151
00:08:15.770 --> 00:08:19.880
Well, do you want some
thoughts to stay there? No.
152
00:08:20.720 --> 00:08:22.550
We cast down every thought.
153
00:08:22.550 --> 00:08:25.670
So when a thought comes, you say - No,
154
00:08:25.670 --> 00:08:27.170
no, I'm not taking that.
155
00:08:27.170 --> 00:08:29.060
No, I'm not taking that. No.
156
00:08:29.060 --> 00:08:33.290
God's not given me a spirit of fear, but of power and love
157
00:08:33.290 --> 00:08:35.000
and a sound mind.
158
00:08:35.000 --> 00:08:37.040
Nope, I'm not taking that.
159
00:08:37.040 --> 00:08:40.610
The Bible says that by his
stripes, by the wounds,
160
00:08:40.610 --> 00:08:43.430
by all the wounding that was on his body,
161
00:08:43.430 --> 00:08:45.680
I am healed.
162
00:08:46.550 --> 00:08:47.930
No, I'm not taking that thought.
163
00:08:47.930 --> 00:08:49.730
You're not destroying my child.
164
00:08:49.730 --> 00:08:52.010
The Bible says that my child,
165
00:08:52.010 --> 00:08:55.050
my seed is the blessed of the Lord.
166
00:08:55.050 --> 00:08:57.420
You take your hands off of my child.
167
00:08:59.070 --> 00:09:01.560
You're not destroying my marriage devil.
168
00:09:01.560 --> 00:09:03.390
I cast down that thought
169
00:09:04.770 --> 00:09:07.950
because the Bible says, let no man:
170
00:09:07.950 --> 00:09:12.330
what God has put together, let no man put asunder.
171
00:09:12.330 --> 00:09:16.290
You see what I'm saying to
you? That it's so practical.
172
00:09:16.290 --> 00:09:19.260
Jesus, when the enemy tempted him
173
00:09:20.880 --> 00:09:24.000
after Jesus had fasted for
40 days in the wilderness
174
00:09:24.000 --> 00:09:26.760
and the devil came to tempt him,
175
00:09:26.760 --> 00:09:29.130
Jesus didn't argue with the devil.
176
00:09:29.130 --> 00:09:33.810
All Jesus did was quote the word
177
00:09:33.810 --> 00:09:38.400
of God. Friend, if it's good enough for Jesus
178
00:09:38.400 --> 00:09:41.700
to quote the word of God against the devil
179
00:09:41.700 --> 00:09:46.700
and put him on the run, it is good enough for you and I.
180
00:09:47.010 --> 00:09:51.840
The Bible says, resist the devil and he will flee from you.
181
00:09:52.680 --> 00:09:55.440
So you and I, we have resisting power.
182
00:09:55.440 --> 00:10:00.330
We have casting down power
to cast down those thoughts,
183
00:10:00.330 --> 00:10:04.230
thoughts of worry, cast them down.
184
00:10:04.230 --> 00:10:05.910
If it's been habitual,
185
00:10:05.910 --> 00:10:10.800
then we start being habitual
in casting those thoughts
186
00:10:10.800 --> 00:10:14.490
down and speaking the word of God.
187
00:10:14.490 --> 00:10:17.340
It's so powerful. Now look at
the next part of this verse.
188
00:10:17.340 --> 00:10:21.960
It says, against the
knowledge of God, bringing
189
00:10:21.960 --> 00:10:25.410
every thought into captivity
190
00:10:25.410 --> 00:10:28.230
to the obedience of Christ.
191
00:10:30.360 --> 00:10:33.330
Again, you see, you are the one with the power.
192
00:10:33.330 --> 00:10:38.070
You are the one bringing every thought into
193
00:10:38.070 --> 00:10:41.400
captivity, into captivity
194
00:10:41.400 --> 00:10:45.210
and to the obedience of Christ.
195
00:10:45.210 --> 00:10:48.000
And because my husband's a Greeks scholar,
196
00:10:48.000 --> 00:10:51.180
I know something about this verse right here,
197
00:10:51.180 --> 00:10:55.290
and it's the picture of a man with a sword
198
00:10:55.290 --> 00:10:57.390
and he's got that sword
199
00:10:58.530 --> 00:11:02.820
plunged into his enemy's back
200
00:11:02.820 --> 00:11:06.900
and he's saying, you are
the one that's moving.
201
00:11:06.900 --> 00:11:09.660
I'm not moving. You are moving.
202
00:11:09.660 --> 00:11:13.950
And through the word of God, friend, through the rhema word
203
00:11:13.950 --> 00:11:17.040
of God, through the spoken word of God, we can say,
204
00:11:17.040 --> 00:11:19.710
no devil, no, you're not doing that.
205
00:11:19.710 --> 00:11:21.270
And you just poke that.
206
00:11:21.270 --> 00:11:24.420
You just poke that sword
right in the back of him
207
00:11:24.420 --> 00:11:26.490
and you tell him, no,
208
00:11:26.490 --> 00:11:30.540
I'm taking these thoughts captive
209
00:11:30.540 --> 00:11:32.820
and you will not talk to me that way.
210
00:11:34.350 --> 00:11:37.710
You're saying, Do you really do that? Yes, I really do that.
211
00:11:38.610 --> 00:11:39.990
I have to do that.
212
00:11:39.990 --> 00:11:43.230
I don't wanna live under the habitual
213
00:11:44.070 --> 00:11:48.060
thoughts of worry and strongholds
214
00:11:48.060 --> 00:11:51.600
and not enjoy the peace
that God has given us.
215
00:11:52.560 --> 00:11:56.950
The that passes all
understanding that's on the
216
00:11:56.950 --> 00:11:59.830
inside of your spirit.
217
00:11:59.830 --> 00:12:03.340
You are wonderful, born against spirit.
218
00:12:03.340 --> 00:12:08.170
It's all the peace you're
ever going to need, but you
219
00:12:08.170 --> 00:12:13.060
and I have a part to play in this victory.
220
00:12:13.060 --> 00:12:17.770
And that is pulling down those thoughts,
221
00:12:17.770 --> 00:12:21.730
not letting them run you around,
222
00:12:21.730 --> 00:12:26.170
but you put that sword
in the back of that enemy
223
00:12:26.170 --> 00:12:30.010
and you say, no, you
are gonna listen to me.
224
00:12:30.010 --> 00:12:34.450
I'm the one with the authority
here. That's powerful.
225
00:12:34.450 --> 00:12:37.450
Now I wanna show you something else about worry.
226
00:12:37.450 --> 00:12:41.440
In 1 Peter 5:8,
227
00:12:43.720 --> 00:12:47.170
and it says - Be sober -
228
00:12:47.170 --> 00:12:49.570
talking about casting your care on the Lord.
229
00:12:49.570 --> 00:12:52.240
That's verse 7: casting all your care upon the Lord
230
00:12:52.240 --> 00:12:54.100
for he cares for you.
231
00:12:54.100 --> 00:12:56.860
Then it says - Be sober,
232
00:12:56.860 --> 00:12:59.050
be vigilant
233
00:12:59.050 --> 00:13:00.790
because your adversary, the devil,
234
00:13:00.790 --> 00:13:05.080
walks about like a roaring
lion seeking whom he
235
00:13:05.080 --> 00:13:07.060
may devour.
236
00:13:07.060 --> 00:13:10.840
So the enemy, the adversary, he does want
237
00:13:10.840 --> 00:13:13.600
to devour us,
238
00:13:13.600 --> 00:13:18.600
but when we casting our
cares on the Lord, he can't.
239
00:13:18.910 --> 00:13:23.230
He can't. And as we stay sober,
240
00:13:23.230 --> 00:13:26.560
not like drunk on worry
241
00:13:27.460 --> 00:13:29.860
because when you're drunk on worry,
242
00:13:29.860 --> 00:13:31.930
it says those words be sober.
243
00:13:31.930 --> 00:13:35.950
When you're not drunk on
worry, you can see clearer.
244
00:13:37.480 --> 00:13:42.460
But drunk people, I know that their vision
245
00:13:42.460 --> 00:13:44.380
is they don't see clearly.
246
00:13:44.380 --> 00:13:47.350
They don't see clearly
because of the effects
247
00:13:47.350 --> 00:13:49.210
of the alcohol.
248
00:13:49.210 --> 00:13:51.280
So I wanna show you in Proverbs
249
00:13:51.280 --> 00:13:53.950
what the Bible says about alcohol.
250
00:13:53.950 --> 00:13:55.930
And I think this is very interesting
251
00:13:55.930 --> 00:13:58.900
because the Bible's saying, you be sober,
252
00:13:58.900 --> 00:14:02.860
you don't let this horrible
habit of worry take you down.
253
00:14:04.990 --> 00:14:08.650
So says in Proverbs 23:
254
00:14:08.650 --> 00:14:13.650
and it starts in verse 29, says, Who has woe?
255
00:14:14.350 --> 00:14:18.370
Who has sorrow? Who has contentions?
256
00:14:18.370 --> 00:14:23.370
Who has complaints? Who
has wounds without cause?
257
00:14:23.980 --> 00:14:26.920
Who has redness of eyes?
258
00:14:26.920 --> 00:14:31.510
Those who linger long at the
wine, those who go in search
259
00:14:31.510 --> 00:14:36.490
of mixed wine, do not look
at the wine when it is red,
260
00:14:36.490 --> 00:14:41.140
when it sparkles in the cup,
when it swirls around smoothly
261
00:14:42.070 --> 00:14:44.620
at the last, it bites like a serpent
262
00:14:44.620 --> 00:14:47.020
and stings like a viper.
263
00:14:47.020 --> 00:14:49.090
Your eyes will see strange things
264
00:14:49.090 --> 00:14:51.010
and your heart will utter perverse things.
265
00:14:51.980 --> 00:14:56.660
Yes, you will be like one who lies down in the midst
266
00:14:56.660 --> 00:15:01.100
of the sea or like one who lies at the top
267
00:15:01.100 --> 00:15:05.750
of the mast saying - They have struck me
268
00:15:05.750 --> 00:15:07.430
but I was not hurt.
269
00:15:07.430 --> 00:15:11.300
They have beaten me,
but I did not feel it.
270
00:15:11.300 --> 00:15:13.190
When shall I awake
271
00:15:13.190 --> 00:15:16.970
that I may seek another drink?
272
00:15:19.460 --> 00:15:23.750
And 1 Peter is saying to be sober, even as
273
00:15:23.750 --> 00:15:28.750
I was reading that, I was thinking of worry.
274
00:15:28.790 --> 00:15:31.910
I was thinking of worry like the temptation
275
00:15:31.910 --> 00:15:35.180
to worry, just like..it said about alcohol -
276
00:15:35.180 --> 00:15:38.870
don't look at the red in the cup,
277
00:15:38.870 --> 00:15:41.510
the sparkling red in the cup
278
00:15:42.440 --> 00:15:46.580
and how it ends with - When shall I awake
279
00:15:46.580 --> 00:15:49.490
that I may seek another drink.
280
00:15:49.490 --> 00:15:52.220
You see, our flesh is filled -
281
00:15:52.220 --> 00:15:55.250
I mean - our spirit is filled with peace,
282
00:15:55.250 --> 00:15:58.610
but our flesh
283
00:15:58.610 --> 00:16:02.870
is an enemy against our spirit
284
00:16:02.870 --> 00:16:06.590
and our flesh wants to worry.
285
00:16:07.910 --> 00:16:11.540
Our flesh wants to give us an excuse to worry.
286
00:16:12.530 --> 00:16:14.450
Our flesh,
287
00:16:14.450 --> 00:16:19.450
like that last verse, it's so habitual
288
00:16:19.580 --> 00:16:21.440
that it's like it wakes up
289
00:16:21.440 --> 00:16:26.330
and says, when is my next opportunity
290
00:16:26.330 --> 00:16:28.700
to worry about this?
291
00:16:32.390 --> 00:16:36.950
When Jesus paid the complete price
292
00:16:36.950 --> 00:16:41.660
for us to enjoy that peace?
293
00:16:43.730 --> 00:16:46.130
And he's saying to be sober,
294
00:16:46.130 --> 00:16:49.010
not like a silly drunk.
295
00:16:49.010 --> 00:16:52.970
Don't be intoxicated on worry.
296
00:16:52.970 --> 00:16:57.290
Don't let worry tell
you how you're gonna act
297
00:16:57.290 --> 00:16:58.910
or how you are gonna think.
298
00:16:58.910 --> 00:17:02.270
Don't let worry tell you
how you're gonna feel.
299
00:17:03.320 --> 00:17:06.860
Don't let worry, like that alcohol,
300
00:17:07.820 --> 00:17:09.770
just move you around.
301
00:17:10.820 --> 00:17:15.350
No, no friend, we've been given the power
302
00:17:16.370 --> 00:17:18.260
to say no to worry.
303
00:17:18.260 --> 00:17:20.570
We've been given the power
304
00:17:20.570 --> 00:17:24.350
as it says in 2 Corinthians 10:4
305
00:17:24.350 --> 00:17:27.590
and 5: to cast down
306
00:17:27.590 --> 00:17:30.200
those thoughts of worry.
307
00:17:32.450 --> 00:17:34.580
You might be saying - Well Denise,
308
00:17:34.580 --> 00:17:36.140
I've been worrying a long time,
309
00:17:36.140 --> 00:17:40.520
especially about this one particular
310
00:17:40.520 --> 00:17:42.530
thing in my life.
311
00:17:42.530 --> 00:17:46.220
Well, it's really good that you're honest
312
00:17:46.220 --> 00:17:50.850
because if you're honest then
God can do something about it
313
00:17:50.850 --> 00:17:53.100
and you can do something about it.
314
00:17:53.100 --> 00:17:55.350
You can agree with God.
315
00:17:55.350 --> 00:17:58.950
God, I see now that this worry, it's not,
316
00:17:58.950 --> 00:18:02.340
it's not your will, it's not your will.
317
00:18:02.340 --> 00:18:05.010
Just because my mother
worried or my dad worried
318
00:18:05.010 --> 00:18:08.970
or my grandmother worried, it doesn't mean
319
00:18:08.970 --> 00:18:11.730
that I am to be a worrier also -
320
00:18:12.750 --> 00:18:15.720
because I have the spirit of God in me
321
00:18:15.720 --> 00:18:17.670
and I can overcome,
322
00:18:17.670 --> 00:18:21.480
like it says in 2 Corinthians 10:4
323
00:18:21.480 --> 00:18:24.420
and 5 - I, myself,
324
00:18:24.420 --> 00:18:27.030
can cast down those thoughts.
325
00:18:27.030 --> 00:18:30.270
I myself can take the word out
326
00:18:30.270 --> 00:18:32.730
and like a sword
327
00:18:32.730 --> 00:18:35.730
and point that in the
back of those thoughts
328
00:18:35.730 --> 00:18:40.380
and say, no, you're coming down now.
329
00:18:40.380 --> 00:18:44.340
You're not gonna rule me any more.
330
00:18:45.240 --> 00:18:47.760
And friend, you know when you do that
331
00:18:47.760 --> 00:18:52.500
and you agree with God, then we can start
332
00:18:52.500 --> 00:18:55.920
to have the thoughts of God.
333
00:18:55.920 --> 00:18:57.300
Like when we're worried
334
00:18:57.300 --> 00:18:59.430
and we talked about on another program,
335
00:18:59.430 --> 00:19:02.550
it's like we've got it in our hands.
336
00:19:02.550 --> 00:19:04.560
I'm gonna figure this out.
337
00:19:04.560 --> 00:19:06.990
I've got this, I've got this in my hands,
338
00:19:06.990 --> 00:19:08.490
I'm gonna worry about it some more.
339
00:19:09.780 --> 00:19:13.590
But if it's in our hands,
it's not in his hands.
340
00:19:18.090 --> 00:19:23.090
And don't we need his power?
And don't we need his grace?
341
00:19:23.670 --> 00:19:28.670
And don't we need his
wisdom for that problem
342
00:19:29.160 --> 00:19:33.870
and not our just our own ability?
343
00:19:35.550 --> 00:19:39.870
He doesn't want you carrying
that heavy burden of worry.
344
00:19:39.870 --> 00:19:42.240
I mean, look at verse, look at verse 7
345
00:19:42.240 --> 00:19:44.670
of 1 Peter 5.
346
00:19:44.670 --> 00:19:48.780
It says casting, it says cast,
347
00:19:50.550 --> 00:19:55.550
it says, casting all your care upon him
348
00:19:56.100 --> 00:19:58.620
for he cares for you.
349
00:19:59.760 --> 00:20:03.240
I looked that up in a commentary
350
00:20:03.240 --> 00:20:05.190
and it said -
351
00:20:05.190 --> 00:20:10.190
that he's constantly caring
352
00:20:10.620 --> 00:20:13.920
for you - constantly.
353
00:20:15.720 --> 00:20:19.380
Every care that drops by your brain
354
00:20:19.380 --> 00:20:21.060
or your emotions,
355
00:20:22.380 --> 00:20:26.160
he constantly cares - waiting
356
00:20:26.160 --> 00:20:27.420
for us
357
00:20:28.950 --> 00:20:33.950
to cast our care on him so we
358
00:20:34.110 --> 00:20:35.640
can receive his care.
359
00:20:37.890 --> 00:20:39.780
That's how simple it is.
360
00:20:40.650 --> 00:20:42.330
You say, I don't think it's so simple.
361
00:20:42.330 --> 00:20:44.520
I've been doing this for a long time.
362
00:20:44.520 --> 00:20:47.140
Well, today is a good day to start.
363
00:20:47.140 --> 00:20:50.230
Today is a good day to say, God,
364
00:20:50.230 --> 00:20:52.360
I don't want this habit anymore.
365
00:20:52.360 --> 00:20:54.310
Lord, I repent of this habit.
366
00:20:55.240 --> 00:20:58.150
And Lord I receive your help.
367
00:21:00.160 --> 00:21:01.480
And like I said to you before,
368
00:21:01.480 --> 00:21:06.460
you can say Holy Spirit
if you're born again
369
00:21:06.460 --> 00:21:09.130
'cause say, holy Spirit,
370
00:21:09.130 --> 00:21:12.640
help me, help me.
371
00:21:12.640 --> 00:21:15.250
And because he's the helper,
372
00:21:15.250 --> 00:21:18.100
because that's his job description,
373
00:21:18.940 --> 00:21:21.310
he can bring you help.
374
00:21:21.310 --> 00:21:23.200
And you know what he can do.
375
00:21:23.200 --> 00:21:26.890
He can give you wisdom,
he can give you grace.
376
00:21:26.890 --> 00:21:29.500
He can give you a knowledge
377
00:21:29.500 --> 00:21:33.250
and he can cause you
to have a new thought.
378
00:21:33.250 --> 00:21:37.750
He brings answers when we seek him.
379
00:21:37.750 --> 00:21:41.140
Bible says, draw near to God
and he'll draw near to you.
380
00:21:41.140 --> 00:21:42.790
Well, when you do that
381
00:21:42.790 --> 00:21:47.790
and you draw near to God,
then you got get what God has;
382
00:21:48.220 --> 00:21:52.630
you get answers, you get power.
383
00:21:53.470 --> 00:21:57.790
And so when we give that cast that care on him,
384
00:21:57.790 --> 00:21:59.320
we are able -
385
00:21:59.320 --> 00:22:02.170
then our hands are empty.
386
00:22:02.170 --> 00:22:06.310
We are able then to receive from him.
387
00:22:06.310 --> 00:22:10.330
We're able then for him
to fill our our hands
388
00:22:10.330 --> 00:22:14.440
with his answers and with his power.
389
00:22:15.310 --> 00:22:20.110
Friend, you and I do not
have to be ruled around
390
00:22:20.110 --> 00:22:22.450
by worry and care.
391

402
00:22:56.140 --> 00:22:58.240
Have you ever worried about something?
403
00:22:58.240 --> 00:23:00.250
Are you worried about it right now?
404
00:23:00.250 --> 00:23:02.830
Did you know you can fight
the temptation to give in
405
00:23:02.830 --> 00:23:04.600
to worry filled thoughts?
406
00:23:04.600 --> 00:23:06.640
Today's world thrives on worry
407
00:23:06.640 --> 00:23:09.880
and promotes fear, complaining and scandals.
408
00:23:09.880 --> 00:23:12.340
But the good news is Jesus hasn't called
409
00:23:12.340 --> 00:23:13.630
you to live that way.
410
00:23:13.630 --> 00:23:15.310
He tells you not to worry.
411
00:23:15.310 --> 00:23:16.810
And Jesus never tells you
412
00:23:16.810 --> 00:23:19.750
to do something without
giving you the power to do it.
413
00:23:19.750 --> 00:23:24.040
In a new series, Worry, Goodbye!, Denise Renner explains -
414
00:23:24.040 --> 00:23:28.330
What is worry? What Jesus says about worry? What we can do
415
00:23:28.330 --> 00:23:30.370
to change our habits of worry.
416
00:23:30.370 --> 00:23:33.250

Amen. I'm ready to get rid of worry
439

that Jesus paid an amazing price

to give us.
444
00:24:49.070 --> 00:24:50.960
You don't have to be like the world.
445
00:24:50.960 --> 00:24:52.610
We don't have to be like the world
446
00:24:52.610 --> 00:24:55.970
and just be ruled around
by worries and cares.
447
00:24:55.970 --> 00:24:57.860
No, no, no, no, no.
448
00:24:57.860 --> 00:25:01.310
We can cast our care upon the Lord
449
00:25:01.310 --> 00:25:03.950
because he cares for us.
450
00:25:03.950 --> 00:25:07.730
Now I wanna pray with you right now - Father, right now
451
00:25:07.730 --> 00:25:08.810
with my friend,
452
00:25:09.800 --> 00:25:14.240
I pray, we pray together, Lord,
453
00:25:14.240 --> 00:25:17.300
as if we had a load in our hands
454
00:25:18.800 --> 00:25:21.110
of care and worry.
455
00:25:21.110 --> 00:25:24.110
And right now, Lord, by
our own will in accordance
456
00:25:24.110 --> 00:25:27.230
to your word, we take that
457
00:25:27.230 --> 00:25:29.780
and we cast it over on you
458
00:25:29.780 --> 00:25:33.770
Lord - just cast it over on Him.
459
00:25:34.760 --> 00:25:38.090
It's not yours. It's not yours.
460
00:25:39.320 --> 00:25:42.290
And Lord, now we receive your answers
461
00:25:42.290 --> 00:25:46.400
and we receive your power. in the name
462
00:25:46.400 --> 00:25:51.380
of Jesus. And Friend, I want you to have this
463
00:25:51.380 --> 00:25:55.160
'cause it's gonna help this get deeper on the inside of you,
464
00:25:55.160 --> 00:26:00.140
this 5-part video series or the study guide,
465
00:26:00.140 --> 00:26:01.760
and you can look at the scriptures
466
00:26:01.760 --> 00:26:04.310
and study right along with me.
467
00:26:04.310 --> 00:26:07.550
Oh, it's my pleasure to be with you today.
468
00:26:07.550 --> 00:26:11.030
I've enjoyed so much
talking about the power
469
00:26:11.030 --> 00:26:13.310
that we have over worry.
470
00:26:13.310 --> 00:26:18.170
We are not the victims
friend. We are the victors.
471
00:26:18.170 --> 00:26:21.980
Jesus said, we are more
than conquerors through him
472
00:26:21.980 --> 00:26:23.900
that loved us.
473
00:26:23.900 --> 00:26:25.610
We are the ones
474
00:26:25.610 --> 00:26:28.910
who can overcome worry.
475
00:26:29.810 --> 00:26:31.820
Well, thank you for being with me
476
00:26:31.820 --> 00:26:33.740
and I'll see you on the next program.
477
00:26:34.850 --> 00:26:38.030
If you've never received Jesus as your Savior
478
00:26:38.030 --> 00:26:43.030
and Lord, now is the time for
you to experience a new life
479
00:26:43.140 --> 00:26:45.390
Jesus has to give you.
480
00:26:45.390 --> 00:26:49.740
Pray this prayer with me right now - Lord,
481
00:26:49.740 --> 00:26:54.420
I repent of my sin and receive you as my Savior
482
00:26:54.420 --> 00:26:57.720
and Lord. Wash away my sin
483
00:26:57.720 --> 00:27:00.330
and make me completely new.
484
00:27:00.330 --> 00:27:02.700
I thank you that my sin is removed
485
00:27:02.700 --> 00:27:07.700
and Satan no longer has any
right to lay claim on me.
486
00:27:07.770 --> 00:27:12.770
I faithfully promise that
I will serve you as my Lord
487
00:27:12.810 --> 00:27:15.480
for the rest of my life -
488
00:27:15.480 --> 00:27:16.480
Amen.
489
00:27:27.750 --> 00:27:29.670
Perhaps I have to do another test.
490
00:27:30.840 --> 00:27:33.600
The only thing to do is to wait.
491
00:27:36.690 --> 00:27:40.590
I wish things have gone another way. I wanna be healthy.
492
00:27:43.500 --> 00:27:46.830

If two of you shall agree on
earth as touching anything
497
00:28:04.710 --> 00:28:08.850
that they shall ask, it shall
be done for them of my Father,
498
00:28:08.850 --> 00:28:10.475
which is in Heaven.
