00:00:01.350 --> 00:00:04.050
This program is made
possible by the giving
2
00:00:04.050 --> 00:00:08.070
of the God called partners
of Renner Ministries.
3
00:00:08.070 --> 00:00:11.340
Get ready for a teaching
that feeds your spirit
4
00:00:11.340 --> 00:00:14.910
and your mind where the
word is the anchor in
5
00:00:14.910 --> 00:00:16.860
uncertain times.
6
00:00:16.860 --> 00:00:20.160
And doctrine doesn't bend to culture.
7
00:00:20.160 --> 00:00:21.600
We keep it simple,
8
00:00:21.600 --> 00:00:26.160
but dive deep revealing a
truth that strengthens us,
9
00:00:27.030 --> 00:00:28.950 line:15%
a love that emboldens,
10
00:00:30.060 --> 00:00:32.220 line:15%
and a mission that touches the world.
11
00:00:34.560 --> 00:00:36.120
Let's join Rick Renner.
12
00:00:38.340 --> 00:00:40.830
Welcome to today's program, my friend.
13
00:00:40.830 --> 00:00:42.810
It is the end of the week.
14
00:00:42.810 --> 00:00:46.080
It seems like this week
has just gone like that,
15
00:00:46.080 --> 00:00:49.470
and we have been having such
a good time studying about
16
00:00:49.470 --> 00:00:51.360
Spiritual Care.
17
00:00:51.360 --> 00:00:52.950
And as I've told you several times,
18
00:00:52.950 --> 00:00:56.760
I received this entire
teaching in a dream.
19
00:00:56.760 --> 00:00:58.860 line:15%
I very rarely say something like that,
20
00:00:58.860 --> 00:01:01.740 line:15%
but one night I went to
bed and I had two dreams.
21
00:01:01.740 --> 00:01:04.740 line:15%
In the first dream, the Lord
gave me a complete teaching.
22
00:01:04.740 --> 00:01:07.110 line:15%
I got up, went to my room
where I read my Bible
23
00:01:07.110 --> 00:01:09.120 line:15%
and study, wrote everything
down, went back to bed,
24
00:01:09.120 --> 00:01:10.770
and had another dream.
25
00:01:10.770 --> 00:01:13.230
And the second dream, I dreamed everything
26
00:01:13.230 --> 00:01:14.940 line:15%
that I've been teaching you this week.
27
00:01:14.940 --> 00:01:17.550 line:15%
So I know the Holy Spirit wanted me
28
00:01:17.550 --> 00:01:20.880 line:15%
to really focus on this
subject about Spiritual Care.
29
00:01:20.880 --> 00:01:23.370 line:15%
It is so very, very important.
30
00:01:23.370 --> 00:01:27.480 line:15%
But it is a full 5-part series which comes in all kinds
31
00:01:27.480 --> 00:01:29.910 line:15%
of formats called, Spiritual Care.
32
00:01:29.910 --> 00:01:31.920 line:15%
And it comes with a wonderful study guide
33
00:01:31.920 --> 00:01:33.720 line:15%
that has all the points, the principles,
34
00:01:33.720 --> 00:01:36.330 line:15%
everything in the series
is in the study guide
35
00:01:36.330 --> 00:01:38.610 line:15%
so you can read the
material while you are seen
36
00:01:38.610 --> 00:01:40.020 line:15%
or hearing the whole series
37
00:01:40.020 --> 00:01:42.600 line:15%
and really get the teaching
down deep inside you.
38
00:01:42.600 --> 00:01:45.450 line:15%
And I'm very excited to tell
you about my book called My
39
00:01:45.450 --> 00:01:47.760 line:15%
Spirit Empowered Day.
40
00:01:47.760 --> 00:01:49.440 line:15%
And the reason I'm excited to tell you is
41
00:01:49.440 --> 00:01:51.600 line:15%
because God wants every day of our life
42
00:01:51.600 --> 00:01:53.430 line:15%
to be spirit empowered.
43
00:01:53.430 --> 00:01:55.770 line:15%
And I believe that God will use this book
44
00:01:55.770 --> 00:02:00.240 line:15%
to lead you into a spirit empowered life.
45
00:02:00.240 --> 00:02:02.790 line:15%
But you can find out more
about all these resources
46
00:02:02.790 --> 00:02:06.870 line:15%
and a lot more by going to
the store on our website.
47
00:02:06.870 --> 00:02:08.880
Or you can just give us a call,
48
00:02:08.880 --> 00:02:10.890 line:15%
just call the number on the screen.
49
00:02:10.890 --> 00:02:12.390 line:15%
We're waiting to take your call
50
00:02:12.390 --> 00:02:14.130 line:15%
or if you wish, send us an email
51
00:02:14.130 --> 00:02:16.710 line:15%
and let us know how to pray for you.
52
00:02:16.710 --> 00:02:19.680 line:15%
We're not supposed to do life alone.
53
00:02:19.680 --> 00:02:21.660 line:15%
That's what we've been seeing this week.
54
00:02:21.660 --> 00:02:23.850 line:15%
God has called us to do life together
55
00:02:23.850 --> 00:02:26.370 line:15%
and we would love to do life with you.
56
00:02:26.370 --> 00:02:28.800 line:15%
And if you have no one
else to pray with you,
57
00:02:28.800 --> 00:02:29.940 line:15%
reach out to us.
58
00:02:29.940 --> 00:02:33.060 line:15%
Yes, I know you can pray by yourself.
59
00:02:33.060 --> 00:02:35.760 line:15%
You have direct access to the Father,
60
00:02:35.760 --> 00:02:37.920 line:15%
but Jesus did say that where two
61
00:02:37.920 --> 00:02:39.870 line:15%
or three of you were
gathered together in my name
62
00:02:39.870 --> 00:02:42.840 line:15%
and where you would agree
is touching anything,
63
00:02:42.840 --> 00:02:44.430 line:15%
I will do it.
64
00:02:44.430 --> 00:02:46.560 line:15%
Well, my friends, Jesus is with us.
65
00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:48.660 line:15%
We will agree scripturally
66
00:02:48.660 --> 00:02:50.790 line:15%
and Jesus will do what needs to be done.
67
00:02:50.790 --> 00:02:53.400 line:15%
And if you want somebody to pray with you, well here we are.
68
00:02:53.400 --> 00:02:55.440 line:15%
We want to pray with you.
69
00:02:55.440 --> 00:02:57.300 line:15%
So just call the number on the screen
70
00:02:57.300 --> 00:03:00.670 line:15%
or if you wish, you can send us an email.
71
00:03:00.670 --> 00:03:03.340 line:15%
And when your email shows up in the inbox,
72
00:03:03.340 --> 00:03:04.570 line:15%
we're gonna release our faith
73
00:03:04.570 --> 00:03:06.640 line:15%
and we're really going to
pray for you this weekend.
74
00:03:06.640 --> 00:03:08.980 line:15%
I've been praying for
a lot of our partners.
75
00:03:08.980 --> 00:03:11.440 line:15%
I've been calling partners
just to say thank you
76
00:03:11.440 --> 00:03:14.800 line:15%
for their gifts and thank you
for standing with us in faith.
77
00:03:14.800 --> 00:03:17.470 line:15%
Partners are so important in life
78
00:03:17.470 --> 00:03:19.270 line:15%
and there's all kinds of partners.
79
00:03:19.270 --> 00:03:21.160 line:15%
Your family are your partners,
80
00:03:21.160 --> 00:03:23.680 line:15%
your local church are your
partners, the people you go
81
00:03:23.680 --> 00:03:26.110 line:15%
to work with, they are your partners.
82
00:03:26.110 --> 00:03:27.820 line:15%
There's all kinds of friends.
83
00:03:27.820 --> 00:03:30.040 line:15%
Your friends are your partners.
84
00:03:30.040 --> 00:03:33.280 line:15%
You may be a partner with a
ministry or with our ministry.
85
00:03:33.280 --> 00:03:36.250 line:15%
I wanna read this verse to you from Ecclesiastes
86
00:03:36.250 --> 00:03:41.200 line:15%
4:9, which says, Two are better than one
87
00:03:41.200 --> 00:03:44.170
because they have a good
reward for their labor.
88
00:03:44.170 --> 00:03:46.300
And it's just a fact that when two
89
00:03:46.300 --> 00:03:50.380
or more are working together,
they have a greater result.
90
00:03:50.380 --> 00:03:53.050
And that is the power of partnership.
91
00:03:53.050 --> 00:03:56.440 line:15%
And today I want to talk
to you about the reward
92
00:03:56.440 --> 00:03:58.060 line:15%
for working together.
93
00:03:58.060 --> 00:04:00.130 line:15%
Whether you're working with your church,
94
00:04:00.130 --> 00:04:02.500 line:15%
somebody at the office,
maybe it's with your friends,
95
00:04:02.500 --> 00:04:04.870 line:15%
maybe it's with your
family, maybe it's with us.
96
00:04:04.870 --> 00:04:06.940 line:15%
It doesn't matter who you're working with,
97
00:04:06.940 --> 00:04:10.000 line:15%
when you're doing something together with others, especially
98
00:04:10.000 --> 00:04:13.990 line:15%
for the Great Commission, there is a great, great reward.
99
00:04:13.990 --> 00:04:16.840
And today I want to talk
about the reward for working
100
00:04:16.840 --> 00:04:17.920
to gather.
101
00:04:17.920 --> 00:04:21.730 line:15%
But I want to remind you about the call on my ministry. In
102
00:04:21.730 --> 00:04:23.830 line:15%
Proverbs 10:21,
103
00:04:23.830 --> 00:04:27.820 line:15%
it says, The lips of the righteous feed many.
104
00:04:27.820 --> 00:04:31.450 line:15%
That is my verse. That
verse speaks to my heart.
105
00:04:31.450 --> 00:04:34.330 line:15%
And every time I read it,
I say, Lord, that's me.
106
00:04:34.330 --> 00:04:36.550 line:15%
The lips of the righteous feed many.
107
00:04:36.550 --> 00:04:38.770 line:15%
And I'm gonna tell you to
sit in front of this camera
108
00:04:38.770 --> 00:04:41.680 line:15%
and to speak to you is
such a great privilege.
109
00:04:41.680 --> 00:04:44.440 line:15%
And I take it very seriously,
put a lot of time into
110
00:04:44.440 --> 00:04:47.920 line:15%
what I do, preparing
hours and hours and hours.
111
00:04:47.920 --> 00:04:51.490 line:15%
It is a great privilege to
feed people the word of God.
112
00:04:51.490 --> 00:04:54.610 line:15%
And I know that our job is to feed many.
113
00:04:54.610 --> 00:04:58.150
Then we read in Romans 15:1 - We then
114
00:04:58.150 --> 00:05:02.110 line:15%
that are strong ought to bear
the infirmities of the weak
115
00:05:02.110 --> 00:05:03.580 line:15%
and not to please ourself.
116
00:05:03.580 --> 00:05:06.790 line:15%
And here we find that we're
to always have an open door
117
00:05:06.790 --> 00:05:08.440
for those who have needs.
118
00:05:08.440 --> 00:05:10.960
And in our ministry, that's why we always are ready
119
00:05:10.960 --> 00:05:13.030
to take your call and to pray with you
120
00:05:13.030 --> 00:05:16.090
because we believe God has
called us to help people
121
00:05:16.090 --> 00:05:19.660
that are struggling in
any area of their life.
122
00:05:19.660 --> 00:05:23.710
And then in Galatians 6:2, it says -
123
00:05:23.710 --> 00:05:25.750 line:15%
Bear you one another's burdens
124
00:05:25.750 --> 00:05:28.210 line:15%
and so fulfill the law of Christ.
125
00:05:28.210 --> 00:05:31.390
This word bear means to help
somebody carry the burden
126
00:05:31.390 --> 00:05:33.280
that is too heavy for them to carry.
127
00:05:33.280 --> 00:05:36.580
Some things you're supposed to carry by yourself.
128
00:05:36.580 --> 00:05:38.680
But when a person is overloaded by life
129
00:05:38.680 --> 00:05:41.710
and is just crushing
them, then we are called
130
00:05:41.710 --> 00:05:44.050
to come alongside of them,
to crawl under that burden
131
00:05:44.050 --> 00:05:46.120
and help them to carry it.
132
00:05:46.120 --> 00:05:49.000
A lot of people go to church burdened.
133
00:05:49.000 --> 00:05:51.790
They are so burdened and
they leave church burdened.
134
00:05:51.790 --> 00:05:53.740
Nobody helped them at all.
135
00:05:53.740 --> 00:05:55.990
And my friends, it's not
supposed to be that way.
136
00:05:55.990 --> 00:05:58.520
We are the body of Christ.
137
00:05:58.520 --> 00:05:59.780
And when we see somebody
138
00:05:59.780 --> 00:06:03.410
or know someone that's
really bearing a very heavy,
139
00:06:03.410 --> 00:06:05.360
heavy load, rather than
just say, I'll pray
140
00:06:05.360 --> 00:06:07.550
for your brother, I'll pray
for you, sister, we need
141
00:06:07.550 --> 00:06:09.620
to come alongside of them,
get under that burden
142
00:06:09.620 --> 00:06:11.060
and help them carry it.
143
00:06:11.060 --> 00:06:13.760 line:15%
And that's why it's such
a privilege for us to pray
144
00:06:13.760 --> 00:06:17.150 line:15%
for people that reach out to us. Through our prayers,
145
00:06:17.150 --> 00:06:20.240 line:15%
we crawl alongside of them,
get under that burden.
146
00:06:20.240 --> 00:06:22.040 line:15%
We put the scripture under them.
147
00:06:22.040 --> 00:06:24.050 line:15%
We really believe this is a part
148
00:06:24.050 --> 00:06:25.820 line:15%
of our God-given assignment.
149
00:06:25.820 --> 00:06:27.980
And then we have the Great Commission.
150
00:06:27.980 --> 00:06:29.930
The Great Commission is for all of us.
151
00:06:29.930 --> 00:06:33.260
It's for me, it's for you.
It is for every church.
152
00:06:33.260 --> 00:06:35.360
And what is unfortunate today is
153
00:06:35.360 --> 00:06:36.830
that many churches don't even know
154
00:06:36.830 --> 00:06:38.240
what is the Great Commission.
155
00:06:38.240 --> 00:06:41.030
People seem to have
forgotten about reaching the
156
00:06:41.030 --> 00:06:42.530
world for Christ.
157
00:06:42.530 --> 00:06:44.120
They talk about social media
158
00:06:44.120 --> 00:06:47.240
and doing things that are good for justice
159
00:06:47.240 --> 00:06:49.010
and taking care of the orphans,
160
00:06:49.010 --> 00:06:51.080
but they forgot people are going to hell.
161
00:06:51.080 --> 00:06:52.190
And people in other parts
162
00:06:52.190 --> 00:06:53.750
of the world don't know the gospel.
163
00:06:53.750 --> 00:06:56.240
And Jesus gave us the Great Commission
164
00:06:56.240 --> 00:06:59.240
because we're to take the gospel to the ends of the Earth.
165
00:06:59.240 --> 00:07:00.260
And in our ministry,
166
00:07:00.260 --> 00:07:03.830
we are very actively taking
the teaching of the Bible
167
00:07:03.830 --> 00:07:06.770
and the gospel to the ends of the Earth.
168
00:07:06.770 --> 00:07:11.030
But in Matthew 28:18-20, Jesus said,
169
00:07:11.030 --> 00:07:12.200
And Jesus came
170
00:07:12.200 --> 00:07:13.220 line:15%
and spoke into them saying,
171
00:07:13.220 --> 00:07:15.380 line:15%
all powers given unto me in heaven and an earth.
172
00:07:15.380 --> 00:07:17.840 line:15%
Here it is - Go ye therefore.
173
00:07:17.840 --> 00:07:20.510 line:15%
And the Greek says - go and keep on going.
174
00:07:20.510 --> 00:07:22.880 line:15%
In other words, this is not
talking about you going on a
175
00:07:22.880 --> 00:07:24.890
mission trip once in your life,
176
00:07:24.890 --> 00:07:28.190
but to be involved in the
process of making sure
177
00:07:28.190 --> 00:07:31.250
that the gospel is going
and that it keeps on going.
178
00:07:31.250 --> 00:07:33.500
Well, maybe you personally can't go,
179
00:07:33.500 --> 00:07:35.570
but through your giving,
you can help others go.
180
00:07:35.570 --> 00:07:36.680
You can help the sending
181
00:07:36.680 --> 00:07:39.440
and the teaching of the word
of God go across the world
182
00:07:39.440 --> 00:07:40.820
through various media.
183
00:07:40.820 --> 00:07:43.940 line:15%
And here we find that each
of us have a role in this.
184
00:07:43.940 --> 00:07:46.130 line:15%
We are to be workers together.
185
00:07:46.130 --> 00:07:49.730 line:15%
Jesus said, go ye therefore, and teach all nations -
186
00:07:49.730 --> 00:07:53.750 line:15%
That's what we do - Baptizing them in the name of the Father
187
00:07:53.750 --> 00:07:58.100 line:15%
and of the Son and of the
Holy Ghost teaching them
188
00:07:58.100 --> 00:08:00.950 line:15%
to observe all things
whatsoever I've commanded you
189
00:08:00.950 --> 00:08:05.950 line:15%
and lo I'm with you always, even unto the end of the world.
190
00:08:06.110 --> 00:08:08.990 line:15%
And Jesus ends it with a - Amen.
191
00:08:08.990 --> 00:08:12.440
Wow, that is the Great Commission.
192
00:08:12.440 --> 00:08:15.380
And it doesn't matter
where you live right from
193
00:08:15.380 --> 00:08:17.570
where you are, you are
194
00:08:17.570 --> 00:08:20.240
to be involved in the Great Commission.
195
00:08:20.240 --> 00:08:22.040
It might be reaching your neighbor,
196
00:08:22.040 --> 00:08:23.410
it might be reaching somebody in the
197
00:08:23.410 --> 00:08:24.650
other side of your town.
198
00:08:24.650 --> 00:08:27.440
It might be sending a gift
to a ministry to enable them
199
00:08:27.440 --> 00:08:29.630
to take the gospel to
the ends of the earth.
200
00:08:29.630 --> 00:08:32.360
But the Great Commission is
a commission that's given
201
00:08:32.360 --> 00:08:34.610
to every single one of us.
202
00:08:34.610 --> 00:08:37.790
But today, I wanna give an
example of people who worked
203
00:08:37.790 --> 00:08:40.460
with Jesus and because of
what they did with Jesus,
204
00:08:40.460 --> 00:08:43.310
they had a great reward.
205
00:08:43.310 --> 00:08:46.040
So if you have your Bible, I
want you to open your Bible
206
00:08:46.040 --> 00:08:47.450
to Luke 8,
207
00:08:47.450 --> 00:08:49.970
and we're going to be looking at verses 1-3.
208
00:08:49.970 --> 00:08:52.310
And I just love these verses.
209
00:08:52.310 --> 00:08:55.260
And when you come to Luke 8:1-
210
00:08:55.260 --> 00:08:59.760
3, we find about a group of women who were partners
211
00:08:59.760 --> 00:09:01.740
with Jesus ministry.
212
00:09:01.740 --> 00:09:04.860
Listen to what we read in Luke 8:1.
213
00:09:04.860 --> 00:09:06.960 line:15%
And it came to pass afterward when he went
214
00:09:06.960 --> 00:09:10.410 line:15%
through out every city and village, preaching and teaching
215
00:09:10.410 --> 00:09:12.960 line:15%
and showing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God,
216
00:09:12.960 --> 00:09:15.180 line:15%
and the 12 were with him. Verse 2:
217
00:09:15.180 --> 00:09:19.470 line:15%
And certain women, certain women which had been healed
218
00:09:19.470 --> 00:09:20.490 line:15%
of evil spirits
219
00:09:20.490 --> 00:09:23.670 line:15%
and infirmities: Mary called Magdalene, out
220
00:09:23.670 --> 00:09:26.010 line:15%
of whom went seven devils.
221
00:09:26.010 --> 00:09:30.210 line:15%
And Joanna, the wife of Chuza, Herod's steward and Susanna
222
00:09:30.210 --> 00:09:33.570 line:15%
and many others which ministered unto him
223
00:09:33.570 --> 00:09:36.150 line:15%
of their substance.
224
00:09:36.150 --> 00:09:40.710 line:15%
My friends, this verse is just
jam packed about these women
225
00:09:40.710 --> 00:09:44.640 line:15%
who made a difference because
they supported Jesus ministry.
226
00:09:44.640 --> 00:09:47.910 line:15%
They were workers together with Jesus.
227
00:09:47.910 --> 00:09:51.120 line:15%
But notice the verse says, these were women who were healed
228
00:09:51.120 --> 00:09:53.040 line:15%
of evil spirits.
229
00:09:53.040 --> 00:09:55.590
And the word healed that is used here is
230
00:09:55.590 --> 00:09:57.523
the Greek word iaomai
231
00:09:57.523 --> 00:10:00.720
which usually refers to a progressive cure.
232
00:10:00.720 --> 00:10:03.060
It often depicts a healing power
233
00:10:03.060 --> 00:10:06.840
that progressively reverses
a condition over a period
234
00:10:06.840 --> 00:10:08.250
of time.
235
00:10:08.250 --> 00:10:11.490
And it kind of implies that they kept coming back
236
00:10:11.490 --> 00:10:14.280
for another touch and another
touch and another touch
237
00:10:14.280 --> 00:10:15.690
and another touch.
238
00:10:15.690 --> 00:10:17.460
Now I can just hear
somebody saying, you mean
239
00:10:17.460 --> 00:10:19.800
that there were some people Jesus touched
240
00:10:19.800 --> 00:10:21.630
and they didn't get
everything all at once.
241
00:10:21.630 --> 00:10:25.170
Well, remember once Jesus
healed a man who was blind
242
00:10:25.170 --> 00:10:27.480
and when his eyes were
opened, he could see,
243
00:10:27.480 --> 00:10:28.890
but he couldn't see correctly.
244
00:10:28.890 --> 00:10:31.080
So Jesus ministered to him a second time.
245
00:10:31.080 --> 00:10:34.200
Sometimes multiple touches are required
246
00:10:34.200 --> 00:10:36.000
for someone to be healed.
247
00:10:36.000 --> 00:10:40.680
And this word, iaomai, implies these women came back again
248
00:10:40.680 --> 00:10:42.180
and they were better, but
249
00:10:42.180 --> 00:10:43.680
because they were
better, they wanted more.
250
00:10:43.680 --> 00:10:45.750
So they came back again
and they came back again
251
00:10:45.750 --> 00:10:47.640
and they came back again
and they came back again
252
00:10:47.640 --> 00:10:50.910
and they came back until
almost like an onion,
253
00:10:50.910 --> 00:10:54.570
every layer of that thing had just been peeled off
254
00:10:54.570 --> 00:10:58.140
and peeled off and peeled off by every touch of Jesus
255
00:10:58.140 --> 00:11:01.290
until finally they were completely healed
256
00:11:01.290 --> 00:11:04.590
of evil spirits.
257
00:11:04.590 --> 00:11:07.740 line:15%
And the word, evil spirits, is the Greek word poneros
258
00:11:07.740 --> 00:11:09.600 line:15%
and it's plural.
259
00:11:09.600 --> 00:11:12.360 line:15%
It describes malicious
and malignant spirits
260
00:11:12.360 --> 00:11:15.840 line:15%
or whatever is foul,
vile, hostile and vicious.
261
00:11:15.840 --> 00:11:19.440 line:15%
And it could even be
used to depict animals
262
00:11:19.440 --> 00:11:23.970 line:15%
that were savage, wild,
vicious, and dangerous.
263
00:11:23.970 --> 00:11:27.630
These women were really, really afflicted
264
00:11:27.630 --> 00:11:29.580
by evil spirits.
265
00:11:29.580 --> 00:11:32.005
But the word healed, the Greek word iaomai,
266
00:11:32.005 --> 00:11:33.404
means they found the
267
00:11:33.404 --> 00:11:34.590
answer in Jesus.
268
00:11:34.590 --> 00:11:38.490
So they kept coming back and
coming back and coming back.
269
00:11:38.490 --> 00:11:40.830
And because Jesus worked with them
270
00:11:40.830 --> 00:11:43.770
and worked with them,
their hearts were filled
271
00:11:43.770 --> 00:11:47.760
with gratitude for what
Jesus had done in their life.
272
00:11:47.760 --> 00:11:51.242
In fact, their hearts were so overflowing with gratitude
273
00:11:51.242 --> 00:11:53.042
that they decided they were going to become
274
00:11:53.042 --> 00:11:54.108
financial partners
275
00:11:54.108 --> 00:11:55.570
with his ministry.
276
00:11:55.570 --> 00:11:59.110
So the same ministry that touched them would touch others.
277
00:11:59.110 --> 00:12:04.110
But it goes on to say they were also healed of infirmities.
278
00:12:04.210 --> 00:12:05.950 line:15%
And this word infirmities, the Greek word,
279
00:12:05.950 --> 00:12:10.180 line:15%
astheneia, is all encompassing term for all kinds
280
00:12:10.180 --> 00:12:12.730 line:15%
of sicknesses and diseases.
281
00:12:12.730 --> 00:12:16.210 line:15%
It depicts those that are weak, those that are sick, those
282
00:12:16.210 --> 00:12:19.450 line:15%
that are broken or infirmed in body, mind and emotion.
283
00:12:19.450 --> 00:12:23.620 line:15%
And it can also denote financial poverty.
284
00:12:23.620 --> 00:12:27.040 line:15%
And you know, poverty is
connected to medical issues
285
00:12:27.040 --> 00:12:30.250
because people spend all
their money at the doctor
286
00:12:30.250 --> 00:12:31.390
and they get no better.
287
00:12:31.390 --> 00:12:32.590
They just keep spending more
288
00:12:32.590 --> 00:12:34.060
and spending more and spending more.
289
00:12:34.060 --> 00:12:37.960
But Jesus didn't just heal
them of physical infirmities.
290
00:12:37.960 --> 00:12:40.810 line:15%
When Jesus drove out those
physical infirmities,
291
00:12:40.810 --> 00:12:43.270 line:15%
their finances were also restored
292
00:12:43.270 --> 00:12:45.280 line:15%
because they were no
longer using their money
293
00:12:45.280 --> 00:12:47.110 line:15%
for medical purposes.
294
00:12:47.110 --> 00:12:51.550 line:15%
But then it goes on to say, Mary called Magdalene, out
295
00:12:51.550 --> 00:12:54.520 line:15%
of whom went 7-devils.
296
00:12:54.520 --> 00:12:58.450 line:15%
Now throughout history, people have said
297
00:12:58.450 --> 00:13:01.000 line:15%
that Mary Magdalene was a prostitute.
298
00:13:01.000 --> 00:13:02.860 line:15%
Did you know there's not
one verse in the Bible
299
00:13:02.860 --> 00:13:05.410 line:15%
that tells us Mary
Magdalene was a prostitute?
300
00:13:05.410 --> 00:13:07.900
And there's nothing by ancient historical writers
301
00:13:07.900 --> 00:13:10.780
that tell us Mary Magdalene was a prostitute.
302
00:13:10.780 --> 00:13:15.220
That came from one pope in the Middle Ages who said - Hmm,
303
00:13:15.220 --> 00:13:16.870
out of whom went seven devils.
304
00:13:16.870 --> 00:13:18.640
She must have been a really lewd woman.
305
00:13:18.640 --> 00:13:20.380
She was probably a prostitute.
306
00:13:20.380 --> 00:13:23.260
He stated that, and it
stuck and it's been repeated
307
00:13:23.260 --> 00:13:25.000
and repeated and repeated.
308
00:13:25.000 --> 00:13:27.760
But the Bible never tells us Mary Magdalene had
309
00:13:27.760 --> 00:13:28.960
ever been a prostitute.
310
00:13:28.960 --> 00:13:31.930
But it does tell us she had 7 devils.
311
00:13:31.930 --> 00:13:35.560 line:15%
And the word devils is plural. The Greek word, daimonion.
312
00:13:35.560 --> 00:13:39.340 line:15%
It means evil spirits or demons or devils.
313
00:13:39.340 --> 00:13:40.510 line:15%
And it's important to understand
314
00:13:40.510 --> 00:13:42.130 line:15%
that the ancient world believed
315
00:13:42.130 --> 00:13:46.240 line:15%
that demons thickly populated
the lower regions of the air
316
00:13:46.240 --> 00:13:50.080 line:15%
and that these spirits were
the primary cause of diseases
317
00:13:50.080 --> 00:13:52.750 line:15%
and suffering in the earth.
318
00:13:52.750 --> 00:13:56.110 line:15%
It could depict a person
who was even deemed insane.
319
00:13:56.110 --> 00:13:57.430 line:15%
And in both secular
320
00:13:57.430 --> 00:14:00.610 line:15%
and New Testament
writings, it depicted those
321
00:14:00.610 --> 00:14:03.490 line:15%
that were afflicted with evil spirits
322
00:14:03.490 --> 00:14:06.310 line:15%
or who suffered spirit inflicted mental
323
00:14:06.310 --> 00:14:08.950 line:15%
or physical infirmities.
324
00:14:08.950 --> 00:14:12.910 line:15%
And Mary Magdalene had 7 of them: 7 of them.
325
00:14:12.910 --> 00:14:16.450 line:15%
But Jesus drove them out.
326
00:14:16.450 --> 00:14:19.480 line:15%
Can you imagine the gratitude in her heart
327
00:14:19.480 --> 00:14:22.690 line:15%
that she was set free from this demonic influence?
328
00:14:22.690 --> 00:14:25.210 line:15%
So if we stopped there, we've already seen
329
00:14:25.210 --> 00:14:27.070 line:15%
that there were women who were touched,
330
00:14:27.070 --> 00:14:29.290
the Greek word iaomai, they were healed.
331
00:14:29.290 --> 00:14:31.630
They kept coming back and
coming back and coming back
332
00:14:31.630 --> 00:14:33.520
and coming back for another touch.
333
00:14:33.520 --> 00:14:37.060
And they were healed of malignant, vicious, savage spirits
334
00:14:37.060 --> 00:14:40.480
that were afflicting them of all kinds of infirmities
335
00:14:40.480 --> 00:14:42.160
that had affected their financial life.
336
00:14:42.160 --> 00:14:46.030
And Mary Magdalene, out of whom went 7 devils.
337
00:14:46.030 --> 00:14:50.800
But wait, there's more. It says and many others.
338
00:14:50.800 --> 00:14:53.840
That's one of my favorite
phrases in this verse.
339
00:14:53.840 --> 00:14:57.590
These are unnamed people,
but it says many others.
340
00:14:57.590 --> 00:14:59.840
The word many, the Greek word pollai, really means
341
00:14:59.840 --> 00:15:00.890 line:15%
many, many, many.
342
00:15:00.890 --> 00:15:03.800 line:15%
The word others is from a form of the word heteros,
343
00:15:03.800 --> 00:15:06.140 line:15%
which means others of a different kind.
344
00:15:06.140 --> 00:15:09.200
And here we find these were
people from every economic
345
00:15:09.200 --> 00:15:13.010 line:15%
strata You can imagine: all kinds of people
346
00:15:13.010 --> 00:15:16.010 line:15%
who had been touched by Jesus ministry.
347
00:15:16.010 --> 00:15:19.400 line:15%
And now to show their gratitude, they wanted
348
00:15:19.400 --> 00:15:21.920 line:15%
to support his ministry
with their finances.
349
00:15:21.920 --> 00:15:24.710
And there were many, many, many of them.
350
00:15:24.710 --> 00:15:28.310
There were many people who supported Jesus ministry
351
00:15:28.310 --> 00:15:32.120
and they're not listed by name, but God knows who they are.
352
00:15:32.120 --> 00:15:36.770
And it says that all this group together ministered unto him
353
00:15:36.770 --> 00:15:38.660
of their substance.
354
00:15:38.660 --> 00:15:41.930
And the word ministered is the Greek word diakoneo.
355
00:15:41.930 --> 00:15:43.670 line:15%
And listen to what it means.
356
00:15:43.670 --> 00:15:46.100 line:15%
This word diakoneo, literally means they were
357
00:15:46.100 --> 00:15:48.800 line:15%
ministering continuous.
358
00:15:48.800 --> 00:15:50.660 line:15%
So it's not what they did once,
359
00:15:50.660 --> 00:15:53.450 line:15%
but they made a habit of
supporting his ministry
360
00:15:53.450 --> 00:15:55.820 line:15%
and they were ministering to him.
361
00:15:55.820 --> 00:16:00.200 line:15%
And this word diakoneo, depicts high level, sophisticated,
362
00:16:00.200 --> 00:16:02.660 line:15%
highly trained servants, those
363
00:16:02.660 --> 00:16:04.760 line:15%
who serve the needs of others.
364
00:16:04.760 --> 00:16:08.120 line:15%
It was a kind of serving that
was honorable, pleasurable,
365
00:16:08.120 --> 00:16:11.510 line:15%
and done in a fashion made those who were being served feel
366
00:16:11.510 --> 00:16:15.080 line:15%
as if they were nobility, which means these women were
367
00:16:15.080 --> 00:16:17.060
so committed to serving Jesus,
368
00:16:17.060 --> 00:16:20.690
they served him with the highest level service.
369
00:16:20.690 --> 00:16:25.520 line:15%
And the verse goes on to say
how out of their substance.
370
00:16:25.520 --> 00:16:29.540 line:15%
And the word substance, describes financial resources,
371
00:16:29.540 --> 00:16:33.140 line:15%
material possessions, or properties.
372
00:16:33.140 --> 00:16:37.220 line:15%
These women used what they
had at their fingertips.
373
00:16:37.220 --> 00:16:38.990 line:15%
It was their resources
374
00:16:38.990 --> 00:16:41.600 line:15%
and out of their own wealth,
out of their own possessions,
375
00:16:41.600 --> 00:16:46.580 line:15%
out of their own properties,
they said, Jesus, you've done
376
00:16:46.580 --> 00:16:48.470 line:15%
so much in our life now we want
377
00:16:48.470 --> 00:16:50.150 line:15%
to help you do it for others.
378
00:16:50.150 --> 00:16:53.300 line:15%
And they supported Jesus
with their finances.
379
00:16:53.300 --> 00:16:57.200 line:15%
And in doing so, they became coworkers
380
00:16:57.200 --> 00:16:59.060 line:15%
with Jesus.
381
00:16:59.060 --> 00:17:01.550 line:15%
And think of the reward they had
382
00:17:01.550 --> 00:17:04.670
when they saw people set free from demons
383
00:17:04.670 --> 00:17:07.040
and they saw people healed
and blind eyes opened,
384
00:17:07.040 --> 00:17:08.360
and deaf ears opened
385
00:17:08.360 --> 00:17:11.030
and people walking who
previously couldn't walk,
386
00:17:11.030 --> 00:17:14.150
or they simply saw people
being established in truth.
387
00:17:14.150 --> 00:17:17.000
Think of the reward they had
388
00:17:17.000 --> 00:17:19.940
because they were coworkers with Jesus.
389
00:17:19.940 --> 00:17:22.130
But there's a reward beyond that.
390
00:17:22.130 --> 00:17:26.120 line:15%
And we find that in Philippians 4:19, which says -
391
00:17:26.120 --> 00:17:29.660 line:15%
But my God shall supply all your need according
392
00:17:29.660 --> 00:17:33.620 line:15%
to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
393
00:17:33.620 --> 00:17:36.620
Now, I know that everybody claims that verse that
394
00:17:36.620 --> 00:17:39.290
that verse is not for everybody.
395
00:17:39.290 --> 00:17:41.360
Paul was writing to the Philippians
396
00:17:41.360 --> 00:17:43.790
and the Philippians were financial partners
397
00:17:43.790 --> 00:17:46.040
with Paul's ministry.
398
00:17:46.040 --> 00:17:47.240
And so when Paul wrote that,
399
00:17:47.240 --> 00:17:50.820
my God shall supply all
your need, he was writing
400
00:17:50.820 --> 00:17:54.330
to his partners that supported his ministry.
401
00:17:54.330 --> 00:17:56.100
It was the equivalent of saying - Hey,
402
00:17:56.100 --> 00:17:58.140
because of what you have done,
403
00:17:58.140 --> 00:18:00.180
because of the seed you have sown,
404
00:18:00.180 --> 00:18:02.760
because of the sacrifices
you've made financially
405
00:18:02.760 --> 00:18:04.680
to help me do what God
has called me to do.
406
00:18:04.680 --> 00:18:06.990
Now here's what God is gonna do for you -
407
00:18:06.990 --> 00:18:10.770
But my God shall supply all your need.
408
00:18:10.770 --> 00:18:13.560 line:15%
And the word supply means to fill to the point
409
00:18:13.560 --> 00:18:18.060 line:15%
of satisfaction, to
completely fill, to make full
410
00:18:18.060 --> 00:18:22.230 line:15%
or depicts that which is
running and spilling over.
411
00:18:22.230 --> 00:18:25.710 line:15%
Wow. And he says, all
your needs, the word,
412
00:18:25.710 --> 00:18:28.890 line:15%
all the Greek word pasan, it is all inclusive.
413
00:18:28.890 --> 00:18:31.110 line:15%
It leads absolutely nothing out.
414
00:18:31.110 --> 00:18:34.230 line:15%
The word needs is plural, A plural form
415
00:18:34.230 --> 00:18:36.030 line:15%
of the Greek word chreia,
416
00:18:36.030 --> 00:18:40.350 line:15%
which depicts deficits, needs, shortfalls.
417
00:18:40.350 --> 00:18:42.358
The words, according to,
418
00:18:42.358 --> 00:18:44.733
are translated from the Greek word kata,
419
00:18:44.733 --> 00:18:47.820 line:15%
which here carries the idea of something that is dominating
420
00:18:47.820 --> 00:18:48.870 line:15%
or subjugating.
421
00:18:48.870 --> 00:18:52.140 line:15%
And the word riches is the word ploutos.
422
00:18:52.140 --> 00:18:55.860 line:15%
And this word, ploutos, depicts immense wealth
423
00:18:55.860 --> 00:18:59.460 line:15%
or riches beyond imagination.
424
00:18:59.460 --> 00:19:03.210 line:15%
One who possesses riches so immense
425
00:19:03.210 --> 00:19:07.020 line:15%
that they are seemingly immeasurable, abundant,
426
00:19:07.020 --> 00:19:09.510 line:15%
or measureless resources or wealth
427
00:19:09.510 --> 00:19:13.440 line:15%
so great that it cannot be tabulated.
428
00:19:13.440 --> 00:19:18.000 line:15%
All of that is in this word riches, the Greek word, ploutos.
429
00:19:18.000 --> 00:19:22.110
Now let me give you the RIV Philippians 4:19
430
00:19:22.110 --> 00:19:23.880
and hold onto your seat.
431
00:19:23.880 --> 00:19:25.500
Because if you're a giver
432
00:19:25.500 --> 00:19:27.930
and if you're a partner with your church
433
00:19:27.930 --> 00:19:29.550
or if you're a partner with any ministry
434
00:19:29.550 --> 00:19:31.200
or with our ministry, it doesn't matter
435
00:19:31.200 --> 00:19:33.630
where if you're giving of your resources
436
00:19:33.630 --> 00:19:36.630
to help the gospel go and keep on going,
437
00:19:36.630 --> 00:19:38.550
here is what God promises
438
00:19:38.550 --> 00:19:41.730
to partners in Philippians 4:19.
439
00:19:41.730 --> 00:19:44.040
This is the RIV, the Renner Interpreted Version.
440
00:19:44.040 --> 00:19:48.720
Listen to this: But my God will supply your needs
441
00:19:48.720 --> 00:19:50.700
so completely
442
00:19:50.700 --> 00:19:54.000 line:15%
that he will eliminate
all your deficiencies.
443
00:19:54.000 --> 00:19:55.830 line:15%
He will meet all your physical
444
00:19:55.830 --> 00:20:00.210 line:15%
and tangible needs until you are so full
445
00:20:00.210 --> 00:20:03.930 line:15%
that you have no more capacity
to hold anything else.
446
00:20:03.930 --> 00:20:08.880 line:15%
He will supply all your needs
until you're totally filled,
447
00:20:08.880 --> 00:20:11.790 line:15%
packed, full and overflowing to the point
448
00:20:11.790 --> 00:20:16.680
of bursting at the
seams and spilling over.
449
00:20:18.150 --> 00:20:21.330
That's a reward for
those who work together
450
00:20:22.380 --> 00:20:25.530
to fulfill the Great Commission.
451
00:20:25.530 --> 00:20:26.640
That's a reward.
452
00:20:28.050 --> 00:20:29.670
So when we study about these women
453
00:20:29.670 --> 00:20:33.240
who supported the ministry of
Jesus, the first reward was
454
00:20:33.240 --> 00:20:35.430
that they were able to
see with their own eyes
455
00:20:35.430 --> 00:20:38.460 line:15%
and hear with their own ears
the testimonies of people
456
00:20:38.460 --> 00:20:39.510 line:15%
that were being changed
457
00:20:39.510 --> 00:20:43.410 line:15%
because their gifts
empowered Jesus ministry.
458
00:20:43.410 --> 00:20:47.950 line:15%
But beyond that, now we find
that God is gonna step in
459
00:20:47.950 --> 00:20:49.390 line:15%
and he's gonna take the seed
460
00:20:49.390 --> 00:20:51.160 line:15%
that we sow into other ministries.
461
00:20:51.160 --> 00:20:52.840
And by the way, Denise and I are partners
462
00:20:52.840 --> 00:20:54.220
with a lot of ministries.
463
00:20:54.220 --> 00:20:56.950
We are working together
with other ministries
464
00:20:56.950 --> 00:20:59.800
and we partake in what they're doing.
465
00:20:59.800 --> 00:21:01.870
It's not just what they're
doing, it's what we are doing
466
00:21:01.870 --> 00:21:04.060
because we financially help them to do it.
467
00:21:04.060 --> 00:21:06.100
And likewise, friends,
that's true with you.
468
00:21:06.100 --> 00:21:07.510
When you give into a ministry,
469
00:21:07.510 --> 00:21:10.570
you become a partaker in the
fruit which they are reaping.
470
00:21:10.570 --> 00:21:13.390 line:15%
And as a result, God says, now listen to
471
00:21:13.390 --> 00:21:14.800 line:15%
what I'm gonna do for you.
472
00:21:14.800 --> 00:21:19.510 line:15%
My God will supply all your
need according to his riches
473
00:21:19.510 --> 00:21:21.010 line:15%
and glory by Christ Jesus.
474
00:21:21.010 --> 00:21:22.900 line:15%
And you can lay claim to
475
00:21:22.900 --> 00:21:25.570 line:15%
that promise if you're a worker together
476
00:21:25.570 --> 00:21:30.370 line:15%
with others in fulfilling
the Great Commission.
477
00:21:30.370 --> 00:21:33.460 line:15%
I'll be back in just a moment
and I wanna pray for you.
478
00:21:33.460 --> 00:21:36.700
Loneliness is a horrible
thing to experience,
479
00:21:36.700 --> 00:21:38.560
but God never meant for you
480
00:21:38.560 --> 00:21:41.140
to be alone. From the very beginning,
481
00:21:41.140 --> 00:21:44.680 line:15%
He said It is not good for man to be alone.
482
00:21:44.680 --> 00:21:48.130 line:15%
In Rick Renner's 5-part series, Spiritual Care,
483

that Jesus wants to do for you.

00:22:58.930 --> 00:23:00.220
Hey, this is Rick Renner,
509
00:23:00.220 --> 00:23:03.430
and right now I'm standing
in the reception area
510
00:23:03.430 --> 00:23:06.310
of the Tulsa Ministry Headquarters.
511
00:23:06.310 --> 00:23:09.430
And this building is just so wonderful.
512
00:23:09.430 --> 00:23:14.230
You know, the Bible tells us in Proverbs 10:21, The lips
513
00:23:14.230 --> 00:23:17.170 line:15%
of the Righteous feed many.
514
00:23:17.170 --> 00:23:19.780 line:15%
And I know that is our assignment.
515
00:23:19.780 --> 00:23:24.040
God has called us to feed many
people the trusted teaching
516
00:23:24.040 --> 00:23:25.540
of the Bible.
517
00:23:25.540 --> 00:23:28.060 line:15%
And together with you
and all of our partners,
518
00:23:28.060 --> 00:23:31.930
we really are taking the trusted teaching of the word of God
519
00:23:31.930 --> 00:23:34.690
to the very ends of the earth.
520
00:23:34.690 --> 00:23:38.740
Right now, we've paid off
about 82% of this facility
521
00:23:38.740 --> 00:23:41.380
and that is just wonderful.
522
00:23:41.380 --> 00:23:43.630
And my friends, we can
only do it with your help.
523
00:23:43.630 --> 00:23:46.820 line:15%
So thank you if you're
already part of the team.
524
00:23:46.820 --> 00:23:50.360 line:15%
And if not yet part of the
team, please join us as a part
525
00:23:50.360 --> 00:23:52.520 line:15%
of the Giving Team to pay off this facility
526
00:23:52.520 --> 00:23:54.410 line:15%
so we can be finished with it
527
00:23:54.410 --> 00:23:57.260 line:15%
and use these funds to
take the gospel further
528
00:23:57.260 --> 00:23:59.660 line:15%
to other places across the world.
529
00:24:08.090 --> 00:24:11.180 line:15%
Well, I just concluded my 5-part series called,
530
00:24:11.180 --> 00:24:12.800 line:15%
Spiritual Care.
531
00:24:12.800 --> 00:24:14.300 line:15%
It comes in all kinds of formats
532
00:24:14.300 --> 00:24:16.310 line:15%
with a wonderful study guide.
533
00:24:16.310 --> 00:24:18.290 line:15%
It's a teaching the Lord gave me a dream,
534
00:24:18.290 --> 00:24:20.540 line:15%
so I know I was supposed
to teach it to you,
535
00:24:20.540 --> 00:24:22.340 line:15%
but it's a wonderful series
536
00:24:22.340 --> 00:24:24.560 line:15%
and I'm very excited again to tell you.
537
00:24:24.560 --> 00:24:26.210 line:15%
And today's the last day
I'm gonna tell you about it,
538
00:24:26.210 --> 00:24:29.780 line:15%
my book called, My Spirit Empowered Day.
539
00:24:29.780 --> 00:24:32.540 line:15%
I want you to have that
book and to read it
540
00:24:32.540 --> 00:24:34.850 line:15%
because God wants every day of your life
541
00:24:34.850 --> 00:24:36.830 line:15%
to be a spirit empowered day.
542
00:24:36.830 --> 00:24:38.390 line:15%
And really it's a choice.
543
00:24:38.390 --> 00:24:40.400 line:15%
When I wake up in the morning,
the first thing I do is say,
544
00:24:40.400 --> 00:24:42.890 line:15%
Lord, today this is your day.
545
00:24:42.890 --> 00:24:44.750 line:15%
You were faithful yesterday.
546
00:24:44.750 --> 00:24:46.850 line:15%
Your loving kindness is
new to me this morning.
547
00:24:46.850 --> 00:24:50.390 line:15%
I ask you to empower me to do
what you've called me to do.
548
00:24:50.390 --> 00:24:52.460 line:15%
Every day should be an empowered day.
549
00:24:52.460 --> 00:24:56.390 line:15%
And that's why I believe this
book would really strengthen
550
00:24:56.390 --> 00:25:00.470 line:15%
you and help you walk into
the spirit empowered life.
551
00:25:00.470 --> 00:25:03.980 line:15%
And friends, when you reach out to us by going online
552
00:25:03.980 --> 00:25:06.170 line:15%
or by calling the numberthat is on the screen,
553
00:25:06.170 --> 00:25:09.230 line:15%
remember, we want to pray for you.
554
00:25:09.230 --> 00:25:12.590 line:15%
You're not supposed to do life alone.
555
00:25:12.590 --> 00:25:15.650 line:15%
And if you need somebody to
join you in prayer, we want
556
00:25:15.650 --> 00:25:17.120 line:15%
to pray with you.
557
00:25:17.120 --> 00:25:18.320 line:15%
You say, well, I go to church.
558
00:25:18.320 --> 00:25:20.060 line:15%
Yeah, but does anybody
at church really stand
559
00:25:20.060 --> 00:25:21.320 line:15%
with you in prayer?
560
00:25:21.320 --> 00:25:25.250 line:15%
I hope they do. But if they don't, we will call that number
561
00:25:25.250 --> 00:25:27.770 line:15%
and we will really sincerely pray.
562
00:25:27.770 --> 00:25:30.830 line:15%
And according to Jeremiah 33:3, Jesus will hear us.
563
00:25:30.830 --> 00:25:34.700 line:15%
Jesus will answer, and Jesus
will do what needs to be done.
564
00:25:34.700 --> 00:25:36.140 line:15%
And I'm gonna pray for you right now.
565
00:25:36.140 --> 00:25:37.910 line:15%
So put your hand on your heart.
566
00:25:37.910 --> 00:25:40.010 line:15%
Father, I thank you for my friend.
567
00:25:40.010 --> 00:25:42.290 line:15%
I thank you for what they
are doing in their lives
568
00:25:42.290 --> 00:25:45.770 line:15%
to partner and to work
together with their church,
569
00:25:45.770 --> 00:25:49.370 line:15%
their faith community,
their family, their friends,
570
00:25:49.370 --> 00:25:52.610 line:15%
their place of employment,
or perhaps even with us.
571
00:25:52.610 --> 00:25:55.760 line:15%
And Lord, I pray that you would open the windows of Heaven
572
00:25:55.760 --> 00:25:58.820 line:15%
and that you would supply
all their needs according
573
00:25:58.820 --> 00:26:01.070 line:15%
to your riches in glory.
574
00:26:01.070 --> 00:26:04.640 line:15%
In Jesus' name - Amen.
575
00:26:05.570 --> 00:26:07.340 line:15%
Well, this has been good,
576
00:26:07.340 --> 00:26:08.900 line:15%
but I'll see you in the next episode.
577
00:26:08.900 --> 00:26:12.800 line:15%
But until then, remember Ecclesiastes 8:4 says,
578
00:26:12.800 --> 00:26:15.800 line:15%
"Where the word of a king is, there is power."
579
00:26:18.620 --> 00:26:20.000

We're waiting to see you there.
602
00:27:19.590 --> 00:27:21.870
If you've never received
Jesus as your Savior
603
00:27:21.870 --> 00:27:26.220
and Lord, now is the time for
you to experience a new life
604
00:27:26.220 --> 00:27:28.380
Jesus has to give you.

606
00:27:32.460 --> 00:27:36.510
I repent of my sin and receive you as my Savior
607
00:27:36.510 --> 00:27:39.450 line:15%
and Lord. Wash away my sin
608
00:27:39.450 --> 00:27:42.480 line:15%
and make me completely new.
609
00:27:42.480 --> 00:27:46.350 line:15%
I thank you that my sin is removed

00:27:46.350 --> 00:27:51.350 line:15%
and Satan no longer has any
right to lay claim on me.

I will serve you as my Lord
