00:00:01.320 --> 00:00:04.020
This program is made
possible by the giving
2
00:00:04.020 --> 00:00:08.100
of the God called partners
of Renner Ministries.
3
00:00:08.100 --> 00:00:11.310
Get ready for a teaching
that feeds your spirit
4
00:00:11.310 --> 00:00:14.880
and your mind where the
word is the anchor in
5
00:00:14.880 --> 00:00:16.830
uncertain times
6
00:00:16.830 --> 00:00:20.160
and doctrine doesn't bend to culture.
7
00:00:20.160 --> 00:00:21.570
We keep it simple,
8
00:00:21.570 --> 00:00:26.130 line:15%
but dive deep revealing a
truth that strengthens us,
9
00:00:27.000 --> 00:00:28.920 line:15%
a love that emboldens,
10
00:00:30.030 --> 00:00:32.190 line:15%
and a mission that touches the world.
11
00:00:34.530 --> 00:00:36.090
Let's join Rick Renner.
12
00:00:38.340 --> 00:00:41.130
Welcome to today's program.
My name is Rick Renner.
13
00:00:41.130 --> 00:00:43.770
I've been waiting for the clock to strike
14
00:00:43.770 --> 00:00:45.060
so we could get started.
15
00:00:45.060 --> 00:00:47.460
And today I am gonna
return to my new series,
16
00:00:47.460 --> 00:00:49.920 line:15%
which is called Spiritual Care.
17
00:00:49.920 --> 00:00:53.250 line:15%
And I've told you in previous
episodes I received this
18
00:00:53.250 --> 00:00:56.250 line:15%
series one night in the Night in a dream.
19
00:00:56.250 --> 00:00:59.190 line:15%
There I was just sleeping
and suddenly I had a dream.
20
00:00:59.190 --> 00:01:01.620
And in the dream I was
sitting in this chair speaking
21
00:01:01.620 --> 00:01:04.830
to the camera, teaching you everything
22
00:01:04.830 --> 00:01:07.320
that I've been teaching in this series.
23
00:01:07.320 --> 00:01:11.820 line:15%
And the dream was so vivid
that I got up, ran to the room
24
00:01:11.820 --> 00:01:13.620 line:15%
where I read my Bible and where I pray
25
00:01:13.620 --> 00:01:16.410 line:15%
and where I write books
pulled out my computer
26
00:01:16.410 --> 00:01:18.390 line:15%
and I begin to write down all the points
27
00:01:18.390 --> 00:01:19.560 line:15%
that I saw in the dream.
28
00:01:19.560 --> 00:01:22.650 line:15%
And that's what I'm
teaching you this week.
29
00:01:22.650 --> 00:01:25.980
And I know that it's a message
the Lord really wanted me
30
00:01:25.980 --> 00:01:27.390
to convey to you.
31
00:01:27.390 --> 00:01:28.980
So grab your Bible
32
00:01:28.980 --> 00:01:30.480
and get it ready as we return
33
00:01:30.480 --> 00:01:33.450 line:15%
to this series called Spiritual Care.
34
00:01:33.450 --> 00:01:37.170 line:15%
It's a five-part series,
comes with a study guide,
35
00:01:37.170 --> 00:01:39.630 line:15%
and I'm so thrilled to tell
you about my book called My
36
00:01:39.630 --> 00:01:42.000 line:15%
Spirit Empowered Day.
37
00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:43.410 line:15%
And I'm thrilled to tell you about it
38
00:01:43.410 --> 00:01:45.570 line:15%
because God wants you to have every day
39
00:01:45.570 --> 00:01:48.300 line:15%
of your life empowered by the Holy Spirit.
40
00:01:48.300 --> 00:01:51.000 line:15%
And this book will help
you walk into that.
41
00:01:51.000 --> 00:01:54.090 line:15%
I begin every day of
my life by surrendering
42
00:01:54.090 --> 00:01:56.850 line:15%
for a fresh infilling of the Holy Spirit.
43
00:01:56.850 --> 00:01:59.250 line:15%
I don't put my feet on the floor
44
00:01:59.250 --> 00:02:02.130 line:15%
or lift my head from the pillow until first,
45
00:02:02.130 --> 00:02:05.070 line:15%
I've asked God to fill
me with the spirit anew
46
00:02:05.070 --> 00:02:06.570 line:15%
and to make me productive.
47
00:02:06.570 --> 00:02:09.840 line:15%
God wants us to have spirit empowered days
48
00:02:09.840 --> 00:02:12.960 line:15%
and that's why this book will
be so beneficial for you.
49
00:02:12.960 --> 00:02:16.110 line:15%
But you can find out about
all these resources by going
50
00:02:16.110 --> 00:02:19.470 line:15%
to our website or you can give us a call.
51
00:02:19.470 --> 00:02:23.040 line:15%
And as I always tell you my
friends, you're not called
52
00:02:23.040 --> 00:02:24.750 line:15%
to do life alone.
53
00:02:24.750 --> 00:02:27.960 line:15%
And if you're facing any issue alone
54
00:02:27.960 --> 00:02:30.960 line:15%
and you feel very lonely and isolated, call us.
55
00:02:30.960 --> 00:02:34.380 line:15%
We want to pray with
you. We're here for you.
56
00:02:34.380 --> 00:02:37.710 line:15%
And if you'll call that number, we will really pray for you.
57
00:02:37.710 --> 00:02:39.690 line:15%
And by the way, would you
write that number down?
58
00:02:39.690 --> 00:02:43.110 line:15%
Save that number. Maybe one
day something will happen.
59
00:02:43.110 --> 00:02:44.490 line:15%
You need somebody to pray for you
60
00:02:44.490 --> 00:02:46.290 line:15%
but you're not watching the program.
61
00:02:46.290 --> 00:02:48.120 line:15%
Well, if you have the
number, you'll know a number
62
00:02:48.120 --> 00:02:49.650 line:15%
that you can call.
63
00:02:49.650 --> 00:02:51.780 line:15%
And when you reach out
to us, we will really,
64
00:02:51.780 --> 00:02:53.580 line:15%
really pray for you.
65
00:02:53.580 --> 00:02:56.220 line:15%
And we know Jesus will
do what needs to be done.
66
00:02:56.220 --> 00:02:59.140 line:15%
Some people like to write, so
if you wanna send an email,
67
00:02:59.140 --> 00:03:00.520 line:15%
send us an email.
68
00:03:00.520 --> 00:03:03.520 line:15%
But whether you call or whether you write, we are going
69
00:03:03.520 --> 00:03:05.650 line:15%
to really pray for you.
70
00:03:05.650 --> 00:03:10.300 line:15%
But today we're gonna talk about Doing What Jesus Does:
71
00:03:10.300 --> 00:03:12.370 line:15%
Doing What Jesus Does.
72
00:03:12.370 --> 00:03:14.260 line:15%
I hope you have your Bible
because today we're gonna be
73
00:03:14.260 --> 00:03:17.050 line:15%
seeing some very important verses.
74
00:03:17.050 --> 00:03:20.410 line:15%
But I want to begin again with Ecclesiastes 3:
75
00:03:20.410 --> 00:03:24.610
9-12, where we find that God's best is for us
76
00:03:24.610 --> 00:03:27.130
to be connected to somebody else.
77
00:03:27.130 --> 00:03:30.820
We are to be coworkers together in the kingdom of God.
78
00:03:30.820 --> 00:03:34.900
You are not called to do life alone. My friends,
79
00:03:34.900 --> 00:03:37.090
when you are joined as somebody else,
80
00:03:37.090 --> 00:03:39.760
suddenly you become more productive
81
00:03:39.760 --> 00:03:41.740
and you'll be more fulfilled.
82
00:03:41.740 --> 00:03:43.510
But Ecclesiastes 3:9
83
00:03:43.510 --> 00:03:46.930 line:15%
through 12 says, Two are better than one
84
00:03:46.930 --> 00:03:49.930 line:15%
because they have a good
reward for their labor.
85
00:03:49.930 --> 00:03:52.870 line:15%
In other words, two people
can do more than one.
86
00:03:52.870 --> 00:03:54.910 line:15%
Then it says for if they fall,
87
00:03:54.910 --> 00:03:56.920 line:15%
the one will lift up his fellow.
88
00:03:56.920 --> 00:04:00.100 line:15%
But woe to him that is alone when he falls
89
00:04:00.100 --> 00:04:03.340 line:15%
for he hath not another to help him up. Again,
90
00:04:03.340 --> 00:04:05.800 line:15%
if two lie together, then they shall have heat, then
91
00:04:05.800 --> 00:04:07.870 line:15%
how can one be warm alone?
92
00:04:07.870 --> 00:04:12.370 line:15%
And if one prevail against
him, two shall withstand him.
93
00:04:12.370 --> 00:04:16.660 line:15%
And a three four cord
is not quickly broken.
94
00:04:16.660 --> 00:04:20.200 line:15%
And here we find power in partnership,
95
00:04:20.200 --> 00:04:22.090 line:15%
power in partnership.
96
00:04:22.090 --> 00:04:24.070 line:15%
Again, God has not called me
97
00:04:24.070 --> 00:04:27.640 line:15%
and God has not called you to do life alone.
98
00:04:27.640 --> 00:04:31.150 line:15%
And as I've told you in previous programs when I was a boy,
99
00:04:31.150 --> 00:04:33.010 line:15%
I felt very isolated.
100
00:04:33.010 --> 00:04:34.810 line:15%
I felt very alone.
101
00:04:34.810 --> 00:04:37.360
But that negative became
a positive in my life
102
00:04:37.360 --> 00:04:40.150
because I determined
I was going to partner
103
00:04:40.150 --> 00:04:41.620
with other people in my life.
104
00:04:41.620 --> 00:04:44.290
And today I am so connected to people.
105
00:04:44.290 --> 00:04:46.150
But you know to be connected
to people, you have
106
00:04:46.150 --> 00:04:47.530
to be intentional.
107
00:04:47.530 --> 00:04:49.660
You can't wait for them to call you.
108
00:04:49.660 --> 00:04:52.450
If you do that, you're gonna
be lonely for a long time.
109
00:04:52.450 --> 00:04:55.930
My mother always said, Rick,
if you wanna have a friend,
110
00:04:55.930 --> 00:04:57.880
you gotta show yourself friendly.
111
00:04:57.880 --> 00:04:59.650
So I decided I'm gonna get on the phone,
112
00:04:59.650 --> 00:05:00.940
I'm gonna knock on doors.
113
00:05:00.940 --> 00:05:03.370
I'm gonna be the best friend
that anybody has ever had
114
00:05:03.370 --> 00:05:05.980
until they find me indispensable.
115
00:05:05.980 --> 00:05:07.690
And my friends, this is reciprocal
116
00:05:07.690 --> 00:05:10.060
because I give to others,
then the law of sewing
117
00:05:10.060 --> 00:05:11.530
and reaping kicks into action.
118
00:05:11.530 --> 00:05:15.280
They give to me. And
together we're able to do
119
00:05:15.280 --> 00:05:16.540
so much more.
120
00:05:16.540 --> 00:05:20.110
And today I'm connected to
my family, I'm connected
121
00:05:20.110 --> 00:05:23.860
to my team, very connected
to my team, very connected
122
00:05:23.860 --> 00:05:26.680
to those who support our
ministry with their finances
123
00:05:26.680 --> 00:05:28.150
and with their prayers.
124
00:05:28.150 --> 00:05:31.780
My life is filled with partners and my friends,
125
00:05:31.780 --> 00:05:33.190
this is very important.
126
00:05:33.190 --> 00:05:36.940
In fact, we're total in Leviticus 26:8,
127
00:05:36.940 --> 00:05:39.010 line:15%
Five of you shall chase a hundred,
128
00:05:39.010 --> 00:05:42.400 line:15%
but a hundred of you shall
put 10,000 to flight.
129
00:05:42.400 --> 00:05:45.880 line:15%
Well, better to be a hundred
than to be five in that case,
130
00:05:45.880 --> 00:05:50.290 line:15%
or Deuteronomy 32:30 says, One will chase a thousand,
131
00:05:50.290 --> 00:05:53.200 line:15%
but two will put 10,000 to flight: better
132
00:05:53.200 --> 00:05:55.330 line:15%
to be two than to be one.
133
00:05:55.330 --> 00:05:58.910
And my friend God has called us to work together
134
00:05:58.910 --> 00:06:02.150
as coworkers in the kingdom of God.
135
00:06:02.150 --> 00:06:05.180
Again, you're not
supposed to do life alone.
136
00:06:05.180 --> 00:06:09.020
And there are so many
isolated lonely Christians.
137
00:06:09.020 --> 00:06:10.700
That's not God's will.
138
00:06:10.700 --> 00:06:15.440
But we have a God-given
spiritual responsibility
139
00:06:15.440 --> 00:06:18.530
to care for those who come to us
140
00:06:18.530 --> 00:06:21.800
and to care for those who partner with us.
141
00:06:21.800 --> 00:06:24.320
We are to spiritually care for them.
142
00:06:24.320 --> 00:06:26.120
And that's the name of this series.
143
00:06:26.120 --> 00:06:28.820
And I wanna return this very quickly today
144
00:06:28.820 --> 00:06:31.220
to Ezekiel 34:1-2.
145
00:06:31.220 --> 00:06:32.600
We covered this yesterday,
146
00:06:32.600 --> 00:06:34.940
but it's so important, I
want to cover it again today.
147
00:06:34.940 --> 00:06:37.970
And God was very upset with
the shepherds of Israel
148
00:06:37.970 --> 00:06:40.520
because they were failing to do their job.
149
00:06:40.520 --> 00:06:44.060
And when you come to Ezekiel 34:1 it says, And the word
150
00:06:44.060 --> 00:06:46.400 line:15%
of the Lord came unto be saying, Son
151
00:06:46.400 --> 00:06:50.060 line:15%
of man prophesy against the shepherds of Israel.
152
00:06:50.930 --> 00:06:54.440 line:15%
I would never want God to prophesy against me.
153
00:06:54.440 --> 00:06:57.560 line:15%
So I take this very seriously. But it goes on to say,
154
00:06:57.560 --> 00:06:59.330 line:15%
Prophesy and say unto them,
155
00:06:59.330 --> 00:07:03.470 line:15%
Thus saith the Lord God unto the shepherds, woe be
156
00:07:03.470 --> 00:07:04.730 line:15%
to the shepherds of Israel
157
00:07:04.730 --> 00:07:08.090 line:15%
that do feed themselves; should not the shepherds
158
00:07:08.090 --> 00:07:10.250 line:15%
feed the flocks.
159
00:07:10.250 --> 00:07:12.800 line:15%
It doesn't say that
shepherds shouldn't eat.
160
00:07:12.800 --> 00:07:15.440 line:15%
The problem was the
shepherds were taking care
161
00:07:15.440 --> 00:07:17.240 line:15%
of themselves, but they weren't feeding the flock.
162
00:07:18.080 --> 00:07:21.620 line:15%
And you find in scripture
that word feed shows up again
163
00:07:21.620 --> 00:07:23.300 line:15%
and again and again and again.
164
00:07:23.300 --> 00:07:27.860 line:15%
God intends for spiritual
leaders to feed his people.
165
00:07:27.860 --> 00:07:31.460 line:15%
And today there really is a
famine of the word of God.
166
00:07:31.460 --> 00:07:34.790
My friend, spiritual leaders
are to feed, feed, feed,
167
00:07:34.790 --> 00:07:36.230
feed, feed the flock.
168
00:07:36.230 --> 00:07:40.280
And that is why this ministry
in this studio produces more
169
00:07:40.280 --> 00:07:43.640
than 2000 full programs every year.
170
00:07:43.640 --> 00:07:46.460
That is the reason why I
write the books that I write
171
00:07:46.460 --> 00:07:48.650
and we produce the study
guides that we produce
172
00:07:48.650 --> 00:07:51.680
and do everything we do on
social media, my friends,
173
00:07:51.680 --> 00:07:54.890
because God has called us to feed the flock
174
00:07:54.890 --> 00:07:58.730
and I want to be found faithful at what God expects of me.
175
00:07:58.730 --> 00:08:01.130
But then we come to verses 3-4
176
00:08:01.130 --> 00:08:03.890 line:15%
and it says - You eat the fat
177
00:08:03.890 --> 00:08:05.150 line:15%
and you clothe you with the wool,
178
00:08:05.150 --> 00:08:09.770 line:15%
but you kill them that are fed, but you feed not the flock.
179
00:08:09.770 --> 00:08:12.290 line:15%
There it is again. You're
not doing your job.
180
00:08:12.290 --> 00:08:16.010 line:15%
And then we read in the next verses - The diseased
181
00:08:16.010 --> 00:08:17.630 line:15%
have you not strengthened?
182
00:08:17.630 --> 00:08:19.730 line:15%
Neither have you healed
that which was sick,
183
00:08:19.730 --> 00:08:22.310 line:15%
neither have you bound
up that which was broken.
184
00:08:22.310 --> 00:08:25.880 line:15%
Neither have you brought again
that which was driven away.
185
00:08:25.880 --> 00:08:29.240
Neither have you sought that was lost.
186
00:08:29.240 --> 00:08:32.780
So here we find the failures
of the shepherds of Israel.
187
00:08:32.780 --> 00:08:34.340
Here they are 6 points.
188
00:08:34.340 --> 00:08:37.760 line:15%
No.1: You feed not the flock.
189
00:08:37.760 --> 00:08:42.380 line:15%
No.2: The disease have you not strengthened.
190
00:08:42.380 --> 00:08:46.820 line:15%
No.3: You have not healed that which was sick.
191
00:08:46.820 --> 00:08:51.530 line:15%
No.4: You have not bound up that which was broken.
192
00:08:51.530 --> 00:08:54.560 line:15%
No.5: You have not brought back again
193
00:08:54.560 --> 00:08:56.940 line:15%
that which driven away.
194
00:08:56.940 --> 00:09:00.930 line:15%
No.6: You have not sought that which was lost.
195
00:09:00.930 --> 00:09:03.600 line:15%
So here we have their failures.
196
00:09:03.600 --> 00:09:06.750 line:15%
But if you reverse it, then you can find out
197
00:09:06.750 --> 00:09:11.730 line:15%
what is God's expectation of anybody that has been entrusted
198
00:09:11.730 --> 00:09:13.560 line:15%
with the spiritual care of other people.
199
00:09:13.560 --> 00:09:15.960 line:15%
And here is God's expectation.
200
00:09:15.960 --> 00:09:19.740 line:15%
No.1: You must feed the flock.
201
00:09:19.740 --> 00:09:24.450 line:15%
No.2: You must strengthen the 'dis-eased'.
202
00:09:24.450 --> 00:09:28.320 line:15%
No.3: You must heal that which was sick.
203
00:09:28.320 --> 00:09:31.560 line:15%
No.4: You must bind up that which was broken.
204
00:09:31.560 --> 00:09:33.390 line:15%
No.5: You must bring again
205
00:09:33.390 --> 00:09:35.280 line:15%
that which was driven away.
206
00:09:35.280 --> 00:09:39.510 line:15%
And No.6: You must seek that which was lost.
207
00:09:39.510 --> 00:09:41.940 line:15%
So again, we're gonna
review them point by point,
208
00:09:41.940 --> 00:09:44.100 line:15%
then we're gonna move on to
the next important thing.
209
00:09:44.100 --> 00:09:48.060 line:15%
But No.1: God has an expectation
210
00:09:48.060 --> 00:09:52.710 line:15%
that spiritual leaders will feed the flock.
211
00:09:52.710 --> 00:09:55.170 line:15%
That word feed means to tend.
212
00:09:55.170 --> 00:09:58.320 line:15%
It means to guard, to protect and to feed.
213
00:09:58.320 --> 00:10:02.580 line:15%
God expects spiritual
leaders to feed the flock
214
00:10:02.580 --> 00:10:06.300 line:15%
and to provide them food
that can be trusted.
215
00:10:06.300 --> 00:10:07.590 line:15%
It shouldn't be messages
216
00:10:07.590 --> 00:10:10.350 line:15%
that are thrown together at
the last moment that a lot
217
00:10:10.350 --> 00:10:13.170 line:15%
of prayer and time and
effort has not gone into.
218
00:10:13.170 --> 00:10:16.230
It needs to be the best meal you can set on the table
219
00:10:16.230 --> 00:10:19.860
because we're talking about
the most prestigious people in
220
00:10:19.860 --> 00:10:22.080
the world sitting around the table.
221
00:10:22.080 --> 00:10:25.110
And it is a great responsibility to feed the flock.
222
00:10:25.110 --> 00:10:30.110
And God expects spiritual leaders to feed the flock.
223
00:10:30.660 --> 00:10:33.210 line:15%
No.2: You must strengthen
224
00:10:33.210 --> 00:10:35.850 line:15%
that which is 'dis-eased'.
225
00:10:35.850 --> 00:10:39.990 line:15%
And again, I don't say diseased, I say 'dis-eased'.
226
00:10:39.990 --> 00:10:41.970 line:15%
And I say in the previous episode,
227
00:10:41.970 --> 00:10:45.480 line:15%
people are 'dis-eased' in many areas of their life.
228
00:10:45.480 --> 00:10:48.510 line:15%
People are 'dis-eased' in their relationships.
229
00:10:48.510 --> 00:10:50.700 line:15%
They're 'dis-eased' in their family.
230
00:10:50.700 --> 00:10:53.070 line:15%
They're 'dis-eased' in their marriage.
231
00:10:53.070 --> 00:10:55.290 line:15%
They're 'dis-eased' in their social life.
232
00:10:55.290 --> 00:10:57.480 line:15%
Unfortunately, many people are 'dis-eased'
233
00:10:57.480 --> 00:11:00.450
or ill at ease in their church life.
234
00:11:00.450 --> 00:11:03.233
They're 'dis-eased' in their self-image.
235
00:11:03.233 --> 00:11:05.399
People are 'dis-eased'.
236
00:11:05.399 --> 00:11:07.440
Even people who look very professional
237
00:11:07.440 --> 00:11:10.200
and successful, they're
wearing a nice suit and a tie.
238
00:11:10.200 --> 00:11:11.790
They look professional.
239
00:11:11.790 --> 00:11:13.050
If you just dig a little deeper,
240
00:11:13.050 --> 00:11:15.090
you're gonna find there's some area of their life
241
00:11:15.090 --> 00:11:18.300 line:15%
where they are 'dis-eased' and the gospel
242
00:11:18.300 --> 00:11:20.610 line:15%
and the word of God
has the answer for them
243
00:11:20.610 --> 00:11:22.170 line:15%
to strengthen them.
244
00:11:22.170 --> 00:11:25.530 line:15%
And God expects that when we
feed them the word of God,
245
00:11:25.530 --> 00:11:27.780 line:15%
we feed them the word in such a way
246
00:11:27.780 --> 00:11:31.530 line:15%
that it will strengthen them
in any area of their lives
247
00:11:31.530 --> 00:11:33.990 line:15%
where they are 'dis-eased'.
248
00:11:33.990 --> 00:11:36.360 line:15%
And this ministry is committed to that.
249
00:11:36.360 --> 00:11:40.470 line:15%
But No.3: You must heal the sick.
250
00:11:40.470 --> 00:11:42.150 line:15%
And the word sick here refers to those
251
00:11:42.150 --> 00:11:45.720 line:15%
that are physically sick,
emotionally or mentally sick.
252
00:11:45.720 --> 00:11:48.600 line:15%
The word of God holds the answer to the mind,
253
00:11:48.600 --> 00:11:50.550 line:15%
to the emotions and to the body.
254
00:11:50.550 --> 00:11:53.530 line:15%
And we cannot forget that God expects us
255
00:11:53.530 --> 00:11:55.270 line:15%
to bring healing to the sick.
256
00:11:55.270 --> 00:11:58.840 line:15%
Today many people are focusing just on the mind
257
00:11:58.840 --> 00:12:01.720 line:15%
or how to be successful in motivational messages,
258
00:12:01.720 --> 00:12:04.060 line:15%
but they're not laying hands on the sick.
259
00:12:04.060 --> 00:12:07.480
We have a God-given responsibility to heal those
260
00:12:07.480 --> 00:12:11.200
that are sick physically,
mentally, or emotionally.
261
00:12:11.200 --> 00:12:14.950
We cannot forget this is
part of our assignment.
262
00:12:14.950 --> 00:12:19.630 line:15%
Then No.4: You must bind up that which was broken
263
00:12:19.630 --> 00:12:21.760 line:15%
or those that have been shattered.
264
00:12:21.760 --> 00:12:23.800 line:15%
And my friends people are shattered in
265
00:12:23.800 --> 00:12:25.720 line:15%
so many areas of their life.
266
00:12:25.720 --> 00:12:29.020 line:15%
When people reach out to us, we hear the shatteredness
267
00:12:29.020 --> 00:12:32.350 line:15%
of their lives: shattered in their relationships.
268
00:12:32.350 --> 00:12:34.810 line:15%
They've got a fracture in a relationship with a sibling
269
00:12:34.810 --> 00:12:36.580 line:15%
or with one of their children.
270
00:12:36.580 --> 00:12:39.220 line:15%
They're fractured in their relationship with their spouse.
271
00:12:39.220 --> 00:12:42.160 line:15%
They're fractured in a relationship with their church.
272
00:12:42.160 --> 00:12:44.590 line:15%
People are so fractured.
273
00:12:44.590 --> 00:12:48.130 line:15%
You know when Jesus looked out
and the saw the multitudes,
274
00:12:48.130 --> 00:12:50.560 line:15%
the Bible says that he was moved with compassion
275
00:12:50.560 --> 00:12:54.640
because he saw that they fainted and they were scattered
276
00:12:54.640 --> 00:12:59.110 line:15%
having no shepherd. My friends, we have a heart for people
277
00:12:59.110 --> 00:13:00.850 line:15%
and you need to have a heart for people.
278
00:13:00.850 --> 00:13:04.330 line:15%
Anybody that is entrusted with
spiritual care needs to see
279
00:13:04.330 --> 00:13:07.300 line:15%
that people are fractured,
people are shattered,
280
00:13:07.300 --> 00:13:10.210 line:15%
people are fainting and they need a shepherd
281
00:13:10.210 --> 00:13:12.760 line:15%
or they need spiritual care.
282
00:13:12.760 --> 00:13:16.840 line:15%
Then you must bring again those that have been driven away.
283
00:13:16.840 --> 00:13:19.000 line:15%
I mentioned this in the last episode.
284
00:13:19.000 --> 00:13:22.420 line:15%
Many people are driven away - they've left church,
285
00:13:22.420 --> 00:13:24.040 line:15%
they've disconnected.
286
00:13:24.040 --> 00:13:25.240 line:15%
And what's very hurtful
287
00:13:25.240 --> 00:13:28.060 line:15%
to them is nobody even checked on them.
288
00:13:28.060 --> 00:13:29.380 line:15%
They just disappeared
289
00:13:29.380 --> 00:13:31.660 line:15%
and no one even noticed they were gone.
290
00:13:31.660 --> 00:13:34.210 line:15%
That is so hurtful. My friends,
291
00:13:34.210 --> 00:13:37.060 line:15%
we have a God-given responsibility to know where they are.
292
00:13:37.060 --> 00:13:40.720 line:15%
We have the parable of the shepherd who left the 99 and went
293
00:13:40.720 --> 00:13:42.070
after the one.
294
00:13:42.070 --> 00:13:45.310 line:15%
We know where the 99 are,
but where is the one?
295
00:13:45.310 --> 00:13:49.150 line:15%
And when a person has been
driven away, God expects us
296
00:13:49.150 --> 00:13:51.940 line:15%
to try to find that person
and bring them back.
297
00:13:51.940 --> 00:13:54.220 line:15%
And by the way, sometimes
people are driven away
298
00:13:54.220 --> 00:13:55.750 line:15%
for wrong reasons.
299
00:13:55.750 --> 00:13:57.340
Maybe they were offended,
300
00:13:57.340 --> 00:13:59.560
maybe they misunderstood
something they heard
301
00:13:59.560 --> 00:14:00.970
or there was a misperception,
302
00:14:00.970 --> 00:14:04.330
but for some reason
they've been driven away.
303
00:14:04.330 --> 00:14:08.170
But my friends, God expects
us to have such spiritual care
304
00:14:08.170 --> 00:14:10.090
for people that we're
gonna look for those folks
305
00:14:10.090 --> 00:14:12.520
and do our best to restore them;
306
00:14:12.520 --> 00:14:15.490 line:15%
and then we must seek those that are lost.
307
00:14:15.490 --> 00:14:18.910 line:15%
And as we saw in the previous
episode, this means we're
308
00:14:18.910 --> 00:14:21.370 line:15%
to seek those that are unsaved.
309
00:14:21.370 --> 00:14:23.020 line:15%
We can't just take care of the saved
310
00:14:23.020 --> 00:14:25.360 line:15%
and forget that there's
a world going to hell.
311
00:14:25.360 --> 00:14:30.360 line:15%
God expects us to look
for those that are lost.
312
00:14:30.400 --> 00:14:34.210 line:15%
But when we come back to Ezekiel 34:11
313
00:14:34.210 --> 00:14:39.040 line:15%
12, God was so fed up with the shepherds of Israel
314
00:14:39.040 --> 00:14:42.070 line:15%
for not doing these things that listen to what God says
315
00:14:42.070 --> 00:14:46.870 line:15%
For thus saith the Lord God; Behold I, even I,
316
00:14:46.870 --> 00:14:49.000 line:15%
will both search my sheep
317
00:14:49.000 --> 00:14:51.890 line:15%
and will seek them out as a shepherd
318
00:14:51.890 --> 00:14:55.970 line:15%
seeketh out his flock in the
day that he is among his sheep
319
00:14:55.970 --> 00:14:57.500 line:15%
that are scattered,
320
00:14:57.500 --> 00:14:59.750 line:15%
so will I seek out my sheep
321
00:14:59.750 --> 00:15:02.360 line:15%
and will deliver them
out of all the places
322
00:15:02.360 --> 00:15:05.510
where they've been scattered
in the cloudy and dark day.
323
00:15:05.510 --> 00:15:07.370
Or it is the equivalent
of God saying, Hey,
324
00:15:07.370 --> 00:15:10.910
if the shepherds will not
do the job, I will do it.
325
00:15:10.910 --> 00:15:13.070
I'm gonna take care of my people.
326
00:15:14.150 --> 00:15:18.470
And this leads us to Luke 4:17
327
00:15:18.470 --> 00:15:21.680
19 where we find that when Jesus showed up,
328
00:15:21.680 --> 00:15:25.250
Jesus was going to do all of these things.
329
00:15:25.250 --> 00:15:29.210
And my friends, what Jesus does is what we are called to do.
330
00:15:29.210 --> 00:15:33.740 line:15%
Listen to this verse, Luke 4:17-19:
331
00:15:33.740 --> 00:15:36.500 line:15%
There was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Isaiah.
332
00:15:36.500 --> 00:15:39.350 line:15%
And when he had opened the book, he found the place
333
00:15:39.350 --> 00:15:40.880 line:15%
where it was written.
334
00:15:40.880 --> 00:15:42.380 line:15%
The spirit of the Lord is upon me
335
00:15:42.380 --> 00:15:47.380 line:15%
because he had anointed me to
preach the gospel to the poor.
336
00:15:47.540 --> 00:15:50.540 line:15%
He has sent me to heal the brokenhearted,
337
00:15:50.540 --> 00:15:52.700 line:15%
to preach deliverance to the captives
338
00:15:52.700 --> 00:15:55.670 line:15%
and recovering of sight to the
blind to set at liberty them
339
00:15:55.670 --> 00:15:57.140 line:15%
that are bruised and
340
00:15:57.140 --> 00:15:59.510 line:15%
to preach the acceptable year of the Lord.
341
00:15:59.510 --> 00:16:04.510
Or we find that Jesus fulfilled all the expectations
342
00:16:04.550 --> 00:16:07.070
that's shepherds were supposed to fulfill.
343
00:16:07.070 --> 00:16:09.050 line:15%
That's what this is.
344
00:16:09.050 --> 00:16:11.390 line:15%
And the first thing Jesus said was he was anointed
345
00:16:11.390 --> 00:16:14.360 line:15%
to preach the gospel to the poor.
346
00:16:14.360 --> 00:16:19.160 line:15%
And this particular word for
poor describes abject poverty
347
00:16:19.160 --> 00:16:21.260 line:15%
or those that are impoverished.
348
00:16:21.260 --> 00:16:24.980 line:15%
Thus Jesus was anointed to set people free
349
00:16:24.980 --> 00:16:27.560 line:15%
who lived in abject poverty.
350
00:16:27.560 --> 00:16:29.450 line:15%
We are to be concerned about those
351
00:16:29.450 --> 00:16:31.430 line:15%
that are suffering financially
352
00:16:31.430 --> 00:16:33.380 line:15%
or those who have a lack of resources.
353
00:16:33.380 --> 00:16:34.520 line:15%
And we need to understand
354
00:16:34.520 --> 00:16:37.520 line:15%
that when the gospel is preached properly,
355
00:16:37.520 --> 00:16:40.340 line:15%
when we really bring teaching that can be trusted,
356
00:16:40.340 --> 00:16:42.500 line:15%
it is an economic game changer.
357
00:16:42.500 --> 00:16:44.810 line:15%
It changes people's lives
358
00:16:44.810 --> 00:16:47.450 line:15%
and that's got to be a
goal of our ministry.
359
00:16:47.450 --> 00:16:49.640 line:15%
But No.2: Jesus said he came
360
00:16:49.640 --> 00:16:53.000 line:15%
and he was anointed to heal the brokenhearted.
361
00:16:53.000 --> 00:16:55.700 line:15%
The word healed is a form of the Greek word, iaomai.
362
00:16:55.700 --> 00:17:00.560 line:15%
And this word, iaomai, usually refers to a progressive cure.
363
00:17:00.560 --> 00:17:02.540 line:15%
It often depicts a healing power
364
00:17:02.540 --> 00:17:05.690 line:15%
that progressively reverses a condition over a
365
00:17:05.690 --> 00:17:07.400 line:15%
period of time.
366
00:17:07.400 --> 00:17:11.780
I say just like an onion; you peel it one layer at a time.
367
00:17:11.780 --> 00:17:14.900
Sometimes a person has so many layers
368
00:17:14.900 --> 00:17:16.970
of brokenness in their life
369
00:17:16.970 --> 00:17:19.550
that you've gotta peel it back one layer at a time.
370
00:17:19.550 --> 00:17:21.590
And that is our commitment to people,
371
00:17:21.590 --> 00:17:23.060
that we don't just pray with them once,
372
00:17:23.060 --> 00:17:24.860
but we pray with them
and we stick with them
373
00:17:24.860 --> 00:17:26.570
and we keep working to them
374
00:17:26.570 --> 00:17:29.990
because we wanna see all
that brokenness peeled off
375
00:17:29.990 --> 00:17:32.600
of their life until finally
they are standing in the
376
00:17:32.600 --> 00:17:35.990
wholeness that Jesus purchased for them.
377
00:17:35.990 --> 00:17:38.960 line:15%
And the verse says to heal
the broken brokenhearted.
378
00:17:38.960 --> 00:17:42.470 line:15%
The word brokenhearted, is the amazing Greek word, suntribo
379
00:17:42.470 --> 00:17:44.000 line:15%
and listen to what it means.
380
00:17:45.260 --> 00:17:47.660 line:15%
It describes the crushing
of grapes with the feet
381
00:17:47.660 --> 00:17:51.180 line:15%
or the smashing and
grinding of bones into dust.
382
00:17:51.180 --> 00:17:54.750 line:15%
It depicts people that have
been walked on by others,
383
00:17:54.750 --> 00:17:56.970 line:15%
those who've been crushed
by others are those
384
00:17:56.970 --> 00:18:00.570 line:15%
who feel they've been
smashed to pieces by life
385
00:18:00.570 --> 00:18:03.360 line:15%
and by relationships.
386
00:18:03.360 --> 00:18:06.000 line:15%
And Jesus said he came to heal them.
387
00:18:06.000 --> 00:18:08.340 line:15%
That has to be our goal as well.
388
00:18:08.340 --> 00:18:10.950 line:15%
Then it says Jesus came
to preach deliverance
389
00:18:10.950 --> 00:18:12.360 line:15%
to the captives.
390
00:18:12.360 --> 00:18:15.180 line:15%
And the word deliverance means to release.
391
00:18:15.180 --> 00:18:17.250 line:15%
It pictures a dismissal.
392
00:18:17.250 --> 00:18:21.360 line:15%
It means to set free or
to permanently loose.
393
00:18:21.360 --> 00:18:25.170 line:15%
And the word captives is from
a Greek word wish describes a
394
00:18:25.170 --> 00:18:27.600 line:15%
person that has been taken captive
395
00:18:27.600 --> 00:18:31.770 line:15%
or hostage at the point of a spear.
396
00:18:31.770 --> 00:18:34.290 line:15%
It is those who've been
dragged into bondage.
397
00:18:34.290 --> 00:18:37.200 line:15%
Now they're being
manipulated by that bondage.
398
00:18:37.200 --> 00:18:39.960 line:15%
It may be something
emotional, it may have to do
399
00:18:39.960 --> 00:18:42.300 line:15%
with an addiction, but in
some way they've been dragged
400
00:18:42.300 --> 00:18:43.770 line:15%
into bondage.
401
00:18:43.770 --> 00:18:47.340 line:15%
We are to minister to people
that have any kind of bondage
402
00:18:47.340 --> 00:18:50.310 line:15%
or addictions and we
are committed to that.
403
00:18:50.310 --> 00:18:53.400 line:15%
We have to do that because Jesus did that.
404
00:18:53.400 --> 00:18:56.790 line:15%
Then Jesus said that he was
anointed to give recovering
405
00:18:56.790 --> 00:18:58.560 line:15%
of sight to the blind.
406
00:18:58.560 --> 00:19:02.820 line:15%
Recovering of sight in Greek means that they might see again
407
00:19:02.820 --> 00:19:04.890 line:15%
and the word blind, the Greek word, tuphlos -
408
00:19:04.890 --> 00:19:08.220 line:15%
listen to this. The word blind, doesn't just depict a person
409
00:19:08.220 --> 00:19:09.240 line:15%
who's unable to see,
410
00:19:09.240 --> 00:19:12.090 line:15%
but a person who has been intentionally blinded
411
00:19:12.090 --> 00:19:13.650 line:15%
by somebody else.
412
00:19:13.650 --> 00:19:17.220 line:15%
It can picture one whose eyes
have been deliberately removed
413
00:19:17.220 --> 00:19:18.990 line:15%
so that he is blinded.
414
00:19:18.990 --> 00:19:21.990 line:15%
The individual hasn't just lost his sight - he has no eyes
415
00:19:21.990 --> 00:19:23.820 line:15%
with which to see.
416
00:19:23.820 --> 00:19:24.990
This could describe people
417
00:19:24.990 --> 00:19:27.120
that have been blinded
in relationships now they
418
00:19:27.120 --> 00:19:28.740
can't see things right?
419
00:19:28.740 --> 00:19:32.520 line:15%
It could describe the lost
who have no spiritual eyes
420
00:19:32.520 --> 00:19:34.680 line:15%
to see, but when you preach the gospel,
421
00:19:34.680 --> 00:19:37.050 line:15%
the Holy Spirit takes
the word of the gospel
422
00:19:37.050 --> 00:19:39.840 line:15%
and creates in them eyes to see the gospel
423
00:19:39.840 --> 00:19:42.150 line:15%
for the first time so they can see again
424
00:19:42.150 --> 00:19:45.120 line:15%
and they can be saved or made whole.
425
00:19:45.120 --> 00:19:47.220 line:15%
This was what Jesus was anointed to do.
426
00:19:47.220 --> 00:19:49.530 line:15%
So we have to be anointed to do it.
427
00:19:49.530 --> 00:19:53.220 line:15%
Then it says to set it,
liberty them that are bruised.
428
00:19:53.220 --> 00:19:56.310 line:15%
And guess what? The word
bruised really is the word
429
00:19:56.310 --> 00:19:57.540 line:15%
traumatized,
430
00:19:57.540 --> 00:20:01.890 line:15%
traumatized. It means to crush, to break down.
431
00:20:01.890 --> 00:20:03.900 line:15%
It depicts a person that's been shattered
432
00:20:03.900 --> 00:20:06.180 line:15%
or fractured by life or pictures
433
00:20:06.180 --> 00:20:09.510
those whose lives have been continually split up
434
00:20:09.510 --> 00:20:11.280 line:15%
and fragmented.
435
00:20:11.280 --> 00:20:14.760 line:15%
Jesus was anointed for
those people and so are we.
436
00:20:14.760 --> 00:20:17.790 line:15%
And we have a God-given
responsibility to minister
437
00:20:17.790 --> 00:20:20.280 line:15%
to those whose lives have been fractured
438
00:20:20.280 --> 00:20:23.190
or who are bruised in
any area of their life.
439
00:20:23.190 --> 00:20:24.660 line:15%
And finally, it says
440
00:20:24.660 --> 00:20:27.660 line:15%
to preach the acceptable year of the Lord.
441
00:20:27.660 --> 00:20:31.140 line:15%
That word acceptable, is from the Greek word, dektos.
442
00:20:31.140 --> 00:20:34.020 line:15%
It means the favorable or accepted time.
443
00:20:34.020 --> 00:20:37.500 line:15%
It describes the
favorable time to receive.
444
00:20:37.500 --> 00:20:40.590 line:15%
And this means when the
Lord comes on the scene,
445
00:20:40.590 --> 00:20:42.120 line:15%
it is a divine moment
446
00:20:42.120 --> 00:20:46.540 line:15%
and a favorable time to
receive freedom, healing,
447
00:20:46.540 --> 00:20:50.710 line:15%
restoration for the poor,
broken blind in anyone
448
00:20:50.710 --> 00:20:54.220 line:15%
that has been traumatized by life.
449
00:20:54.220 --> 00:20:58.570 line:15%
All of that is what
Jesus was anointed to do.
450
00:20:58.570 --> 00:21:02.410 line:15%
And we are called to do what Jesus did.
451
00:21:02.410 --> 00:21:05.320 line:15%
And my friends, when we do what Jesus did,
452
00:21:05.320 --> 00:21:09.220 line:15%
then we fulfill the responsibilities that God gives
453
00:21:09.220 --> 00:21:12.190 line:15%
to all spiritual leadership.
454
00:21:12.190 --> 00:21:15.070 line:15%
And that is why we as a
ministry are so committed
455
00:21:15.070 --> 00:21:18.880 line:15%
to really have spiritual care
for those who reach out to us
456
00:21:18.880 --> 00:21:22.450 line:15%
and for those who are our partners.
457
00:21:22.450 --> 00:21:25.000 line:15%
Amen. I'll be back in just a moment
458
00:21:25.000 --> 00:21:26.590 line:15%
and I'm going to pray for you.
459
00:21:26.590 --> 00:21:29.830
Loneliness is a horrible
thing to experience,
460
00:21:29.830 --> 00:21:31.690
but God never meant for you
461
00:21:31.690 --> 00:21:34.270
to be alone from the very beginning.
462
00:21:34.270 --> 00:21:37.810 line:15%
He said it is not good
for man to be alone.
463
00:21:37.810 --> 00:21:41.260 line:15%

Hey, this is Rick Renner
490
00:22:53.290 --> 00:22:56.500
and right now I'm standing
in the reception area
491
00:22:56.500 --> 00:22:59.350
of the Tulsa Ministry Headquarters
492
00:22:59.350 --> 00:23:02.500
and this building is just so wonderful.
493
00:23:02.500 --> 00:23:07.270
You know the Bible tells us in Proverbs 10:21, The lips
494
00:23:07.270 --> 00:23:10.240 line:15%
of the Righteous feed many.
495
00:23:10.240 --> 00:23:12.850
And I know that is our assignment.
496
00:23:12.850 --> 00:23:17.110
God has called us to feed many
people the trusted teaching
497
00:23:17.110 --> 00:23:18.610
of the Bible.
498
00:23:18.610 --> 00:23:21.100
And together with you and all of our partners,
499
00:23:21.100 --> 00:23:25.000
we really are taking the trusted teaching of the word of God
500
00:23:25.000 --> 00:23:27.760
to the very ends of the earth.
501
00:23:27.760 --> 00:23:31.810
Right now we've paid off
about 82% of this facility
502
00:23:31.810 --> 00:23:34.480
and that is just wonderful
503
00:23:34.480 --> 00:23:36.700
and my friends, we can
only do it with your help.
504
00:23:36.700 --> 00:23:39.880 line:15%
So thank you if you're
already part of the team,
505
00:23:39.880 --> 00:23:43.450 line:15%
and if not yet part of the
team, please join us as a part
506
00:23:43.450 --> 00:23:46.610 line:15%
of the Giving Team to pay off this so we can be finished
507
00:23:46.610 --> 00:23:50.300 line:15%
with it and use these funds
to take the gospel further
508
00:23:50.300 --> 00:23:52.670 line:15%
to other places across the world.
509
00:24:01.220 --> 00:24:03.560
I pray this has been a
blessing to you today.
510
00:24:03.560 --> 00:24:07.550
I've done my best to put a
full meal on the table for you
511
00:24:07.550 --> 00:24:11.630
to understand what it means to
spiritually care for others.
512
00:24:11.630 --> 00:24:15.230
Jesus was anointed to do
so many things in our life
513
00:24:15.230 --> 00:24:17.090
and what he was anointed to do is
514
00:24:17.090 --> 00:24:19.130
what we are anointed to do.
515
00:24:19.130 --> 00:24:21.860
And I want to tell you that
if you've got a need in any
516
00:24:21.860 --> 00:24:23.660 line:15%
of the areas that I address today,
517
00:24:23.660 --> 00:24:24.980 line:15%
we want to minister to you.
518
00:24:24.980 --> 00:24:27.470 line:15%
And if you'll just call
the number on the screen
519
00:24:27.470 --> 00:24:29.120 line:15%
or send us an email, we want

00:24:29.120 --> 00:24:32.960 line:15%

521
00:24:32.960 --> 00:24:34.760 line:15%
what needs to be done in your life.
522
00:24:34.760 --> 00:24:37.940 line:15%
We will fervently pray with faith
523
00:24:37.940 --> 00:24:41.030 line:15%
and Jesus will really step
to do what needs to be done.
524
00:24:41.030 --> 00:24:45.980 line:15%
So please call that
number or send us an email
525
00:24:45.980 --> 00:24:47.870 line:15%
and I want to remind you about my series,
526
00:24:47.870 --> 00:24:49.700 line:15%
which is called Spiritual Care.
527
00:24:49.700 --> 00:24:51.380 line:15%
Are you enjoying this series?
528
00:24:51.380 --> 00:24:53.840 line:15%

529
00:24:53.840 --> 00:24:56.030 line:15%
and really giving you what's in my heart
530
00:24:56.030 --> 00:24:58.580 line:15%
and what I believe is in
the heart of God about how
531
00:24:58.580 --> 00:25:00.950 line:15%
to spiritually care for others.
532
00:25:00.950 --> 00:25:02.690 line:15%
And I'm really excited about my book,
533
00:25:02.690 --> 00:25:05.960 line:15%
which is called, My Spirit Empowered Day.
534
00:25:05.960 --> 00:25:10.960 line:15%
God wants every day of our
lives to be spirit empowered
535
00:25:11.180 --> 00:25:13.280 line:15%
and that's why I want you
to know about this book.

a marvelous time in the

00:25:27.650 --> 00:25:29.210 line:15%
scripture today.
543
00:25:29.210 --> 00:25:31.850 line:15%
Lord, we do not want to
fail your expectations
544
00:25:31.850 --> 00:25:35.240 line:15%
and thank you that you clearly
communicate what you expect
545

of us in terms of spiritual care.
546
00:25:38.900 --> 00:25:42.140 line:15%
And Lord, help us to do
what you were anointed to do
547
00:25:42.140 --> 00:25:43.340 line:15%
for spiritual leaders
548
00:25:43.340 --> 00:25:45.830 line:15%
and for everyone that cares for others.
549
00:25:45.830 --> 00:25:50.120 line:15%
I pray this in the mighty name of Jesus - Amen.
550
00:25:51.020 --> 00:25:53.210 line:15%
Well, when we come back
tomorrow, we're going to see
551
00:25:53.210 --> 00:25:54.920 line:15%
what happens,
552
00:25:54.920 --> 00:25:59.210 line:15%
how God will reward you when
you become a coworker in
553
00:25:59.210 --> 00:26:00.290 line:15%
the kingdom of God.
554

encouraging. Don't miss it.
555

00:26:06.770 --> 00:26:09.530 line:15%
of a king is, there is power."
