This program is made
possible by the giving

00:00:04.050 --> 00:00:08.100 line:15%
of the God called partners
of Renner Ministries.
3
00:00:08.100 --> 00:00:11.340 line:15%
Get ready for a teaching
that feeds your spirit
4
00:00:11.340 --> 00:00:14.940 line:15%
and your mind where the
word is the anchor in
5
00:00:14.940 --> 00:00:16.890 line:15%
uncertain times
6
00:00:16.890 --> 00:00:20.190 line:15%
and doctrine doesn't bend to culture.
7
00:00:20.190 --> 00:00:21.600 line:15%
We keep it simple,
8
00:00:21.600 --> 00:00:26.190 line:15%
but dive deep revealing a
truth that strengthens us,
9
00:00:27.060 --> 00:00:28.950 line:15%
a love that emboldens,
10
00:00:30.090 --> 00:00:32.220 line:15%
and a mission that touches the world.
11
00:00:34.590 --> 00:00:36.120 line:15%
Let's join Rick Renner.
12
00:00:38.520 --> 00:00:39.810 line:15%
Welcome to today's program.
13
00:00:39.810 --> 00:00:42.930 line:15%
I am so excited about what I'm going
14
00:00:42.930 --> 00:00:44.160 line:15%
to be sharing with you today.
15
00:00:44.160 --> 00:00:46.770 line:15%
And in the next nine episodes,
16
00:00:46.770 --> 00:00:48.900 line:15%
I'm gonna be teaching a
brand new series called
17
00:00:48.900 --> 00:00:50.130 line:15%
Entry Points.
18
00:00:50.130 --> 00:00:54.840 line:15%
Ay...How to Stop the Devil from Attacking You
19
00:00:54.840 --> 00:00:56.250 line:15%
with Sickness.
20
00:00:56.250 --> 00:00:59.460 line:15%
It is 10 parts, it
comes with a study guide
21
00:00:59.460 --> 00:01:03.720 line:15%
and I want to tell you about a new book.
22
00:01:03.720 --> 00:01:06.780 line:15%
And the book is called, Everything You Need
23
00:01:06.780 --> 00:01:08.820 line:15%
to Know About Healing.
24
00:01:08.820 --> 00:01:11.460 line:15%
It is my first book on healing.
25
00:01:11.460 --> 00:01:14.370 line:15%
And wow, I think it is amazing.
26
00:01:14.370 --> 00:01:17.340 line:15%
And one more thing we have,
27
00:01:17.340 --> 00:01:20.580 line:15%
and that is a book called, There's Light at the End
28
00:01:20.580 --> 00:01:22.620 line:15%
of the Tunnel, by Mike Clark.
29
00:01:22.620 --> 00:01:27.450 line:15%
It's about his story, how he walked from cancer into health.
30
00:01:27.450 --> 00:01:30.270 line:15%
And it is just so amazing that I wanted
31
00:01:30.270 --> 00:01:31.710 line:15%
to tell you about it.
32
00:01:31.710 --> 00:01:33.990 line:15%
But if you'd like to know
more about these things,
33
00:01:33.990 --> 00:01:35.700 line:15%
just go online or give us a call.
34
00:01:35.700 --> 00:01:38.520 line:15%
We would love to give you
all the information you need
35
00:01:38.520 --> 00:01:39.750 line:15%
to know about them.
36
00:01:39.750 --> 00:01:42.600 line:15%
And when you reach out
to us, please let us know
37
00:01:42.600 --> 00:01:43.800 line:15%
how to pray for you.
38
00:01:43.800 --> 00:01:48.090 line:15%
And this series is particularly about closing the door,
39
00:01:48.090 --> 00:01:50.310 line:15%
shutting every entry point,
40
00:01:50.310 --> 00:01:53.070 line:15%
so sickness does not invade your life
41
00:01:53.070 --> 00:01:55.260 line:15%
or so you can drive it out of your life.
42
00:01:55.260 --> 00:01:59.160 line:15%
And particularly if you're
needing healing in your body
43
00:01:59.160 --> 00:02:02.460 line:15%
and you long to step into the
health that Jesus purchased
44
00:02:02.460 --> 00:02:07.290 line:15%
for you, call us and let us
know how to pray for you.
45
00:02:07.290 --> 00:02:09.570 line:15%
But reach for your Bible.
46
00:02:09.570 --> 00:02:11.760 line:15%
We always use the Bible in this program.
47
00:02:11.760 --> 00:02:14.760 line:15%
And today I'm gonna talk to you about Entry Points.
48
00:02:14.760 --> 00:02:17.940 line:15%
Now, every year in our
ministry we receive thousands
49
00:02:17.940 --> 00:02:21.960 line:15%
and thousands of calls and
letters from precious people.
50
00:02:21.960 --> 00:02:24.210 line:15%
And by the way, every call
51
00:02:24.210 --> 00:02:26.550 line:15%
and every letter is so important to us.
52
00:02:26.550 --> 00:02:30.030 line:15%
We take every one of them
very, very seriously.
53
00:02:30.030 --> 00:02:32.550 line:15%
And if you're one of them
that has reached out to us,
54
00:02:32.550 --> 00:02:34.650 line:15%
you know that when you
reach out to us for prayer,
55
00:02:34.650 --> 00:02:36.210 line:15%
you really get prayed for.
56
00:02:36.210 --> 00:02:39.120 line:15%
But many people call because they are sick
57
00:02:39.120 --> 00:02:40.860 line:15%
or they have a loved one that is sick
58
00:02:40.860 --> 00:02:42.840 line:15%
or they have a relative that is sick
59
00:02:42.840 --> 00:02:45.360
and they call requesting prayer.
60
00:02:45.360 --> 00:02:49.980
And we receive so many people
calling back again, calls
61
00:02:49.980 --> 00:02:52.770
and letters and emails from
people who say, you prayed
62
00:02:52.770 --> 00:02:55.710
with me and listened to what happened.
63
00:02:55.710 --> 00:02:58.320 line:15%
And they give us marvelous testimonies.
64
00:02:58.320 --> 00:03:01.390 line:15%
And one of my greatest
honors is to share some
65
00:03:01.390 --> 00:03:04.570 line:15%
of those testimonies on my
program from time to time.
66
00:03:04.570 --> 00:03:08.350 line:15%
And my friends, we have reams
of testimonies from people
67
00:03:08.350 --> 00:03:12.610 line:15%
that have received the delivery and healing power of God.
68
00:03:12.610 --> 00:03:14.080 line:15%
And I believe
69
00:03:14.080 --> 00:03:17.470 line:15%
that God has a divine work
waiting for you as well.
70
00:03:17.470 --> 00:03:19.240 line:15%
And if you need prayer, call us for prayer
71
00:03:19.240 --> 00:03:20.680 line:15%
because we'll pray for you.
72
00:03:20.680 --> 00:03:22.570
But I have to be honest
73
00:03:22.570 --> 00:03:24.160 line:15%
and say there's another category
74
00:03:24.160 --> 00:03:26.410
of people who've reached out for prayer
75
00:03:26.410 --> 00:03:28.600
and they're still waiting for the answer.
76
00:03:28.600 --> 00:03:30.640
And some of them feel
like the answer has been
77
00:03:30.640 --> 00:03:32.020
hopelessly delayed.
78
00:03:32.020 --> 00:03:34.630
They have waited and waited
and waited and waited
79
00:03:34.630 --> 00:03:38.140
and waited, and they still
have not received the answer
80
00:03:38.140 --> 00:03:40.990
to their prayer regarding
health and healing.
81
00:03:40.990 --> 00:03:45.040
And I have to be honest and
say that category also exists.
82
00:03:45.040 --> 00:03:46.810
They're still standing in faith.
83
00:03:46.810 --> 00:03:50.590
And many times they ask the question - I'm believing God,
84
00:03:50.590 --> 00:03:52.150
I'm using my faith.
85
00:03:52.150 --> 00:03:54.340
I'm standing on the promises of God.
86
00:03:54.340 --> 00:03:59.110
Why am I not seeing the
manifestation of my healing?
87
00:03:59.110 --> 00:04:01.870 line:15%
And what really brought me to the moment
88
00:04:01.870 --> 00:04:03.430 line:15%
to write my new book
89
00:04:03.430 --> 00:04:07.780 line:15%
and to teach this series is that in our own church in Moscow
90
00:04:07.780 --> 00:04:10.510 line:15%
where over the years we have seen miracle after miracle
91
00:04:10.510 --> 00:04:14.020 line:15%
after miracle, suddenly we had an episode of time
92
00:04:14.020 --> 00:04:16.720
where several people that were standing in faith
93
00:04:16.720 --> 00:04:18.070
actually died.
94
00:04:18.070 --> 00:04:19.390
They were not healed,
95
00:04:19.390 --> 00:04:21.490
they did not receive their manifestation.
96
00:04:21.490 --> 00:04:25.510
And people began to ask why;
they were standing in faith.
97
00:04:25.510 --> 00:04:27.370
We were agreeing in prayer.
98
00:04:27.370 --> 00:04:29.320
It seemed they were
doing everything right.
99
00:04:29.320 --> 00:04:34.180
Why did they not receive
the manifestation of healing
100
00:04:34.180 --> 00:04:35.650
that they were believing for?
101
00:04:35.650 --> 00:04:37.840
And these are very sincere questions
102
00:04:37.840 --> 00:04:40.690
and these are questions
that deserve an answer.
103
00:04:40.690 --> 00:04:44.860
And I believe that my goal, my
calling, is to bring teaching
104
00:04:44.860 --> 00:04:46.420
that you can trust.
105
00:04:46.420 --> 00:04:47.650
So beginning today
106
00:04:47.650 --> 00:04:49.450
and in the next nine episodes, I want
107
00:04:49.450 --> 00:04:54.220
to talk about reasons why
people do not get healed
108
00:04:54.220 --> 00:04:56.710
and what you can do to close the door
109
00:04:56.710 --> 00:04:58.030
to sickness in your life.
110
00:04:58.030 --> 00:05:01.030
Or I call them entry points
the devil's been using
111
00:05:01.030 --> 00:05:02.830
to access your life.
112
00:05:02.830 --> 00:05:05.680 line:15%
But I want to answer,
what are the reasons why
113
00:05:05.680 --> 00:05:07.270 line:15%
Christians get sick?
114
00:05:07.270 --> 00:05:10.840 line:15%
What is the role of redemption
in deliverance and healing?
115
00:05:10.840 --> 00:05:13.900 line:15%
What exactly did Jesus
purchase on the cross?
116
00:05:13.900 --> 00:05:17.050 line:15%
What needs to happen for a
person to receive healing
117
00:05:17.050 --> 00:05:19.900 line:15%
for the body and for the mind?
118
00:05:19.900 --> 00:05:23.860
But it's very natural when
sickness strikes for people
119
00:05:23.860 --> 00:05:25.360
to say, why?
120
00:05:25.360 --> 00:05:27.910
Why did this happen to me?
121
00:05:27.910 --> 00:05:31.240 line:15%
And I have learned that
there really are reasons.
122
00:05:31.240 --> 00:05:33.010 line:15%
Very often, not always,
123
00:05:33.010 --> 00:05:36.850 line:15%
but very often, people have
inadvertently opened a door
124
00:05:36.850 --> 00:05:39.190 line:15%
for the devil to access them.
125
00:05:39.190 --> 00:05:42.250 line:15%
We're told in Ephesians 4:27 -
126
00:05:42.250 --> 00:05:44.710 line:15%
Give no place to the devil.
127
00:05:44.710 --> 00:05:48.070
And that word place is
the Greek word topos.
128
00:05:48.070 --> 00:05:51.640
It describes a real physical
geographical location.
129
00:05:51.640 --> 00:05:54.010
In fact, it is such a
geographical location.
130
00:05:54.010 --> 00:05:56.170
The word topos, the Greek
word is where you get the word
131
00:05:56.170 --> 00:05:58.520
for a topographical map.
132
00:05:58.520 --> 00:06:03.020
It really is a real place on
the map or a real entry point.
133
00:06:03.020 --> 00:06:06.440
The devil is looking for
a way to access people.
134
00:06:06.440 --> 00:06:09.590
And if the door is not
shut, he will find a way
135
00:06:09.590 --> 00:06:10.670
to get into your life.
136
00:06:10.670 --> 00:06:13.280
And I want to go back
to the book of Genesis
137
00:06:13.280 --> 00:06:14.930
to see the very first time
138
00:06:14.930 --> 00:06:18.530
that someone gave an
entry point for the devil.
139
00:06:18.530 --> 00:06:22.010
And it takes us to Genesis 2.
140
00:06:22.010 --> 00:06:25.190
In Genesis 2, God was finished with creation
141
00:06:25.190 --> 00:06:27.620
and his final act was to make a man.
142
00:06:27.620 --> 00:06:30.560
That was the crowning achievement of creation.
143
00:06:30.560 --> 00:06:33.770
And the Bible tells us in Genesis 2:15, he took the man
144
00:06:33.770 --> 00:06:35.150 line:15%
and put him into the garden.
145
00:06:35.150 --> 00:06:37.340
And the garden was ideal.
146
00:06:37.340 --> 00:06:40.370
It was a place completely free of death.
147
00:06:40.370 --> 00:06:42.590
It was free of the curse, it was free
148
00:06:42.590 --> 00:06:44.420
of any malevolence or darkness.
149
00:06:44.420 --> 00:06:47.810
There was no sickness,
there was no illness,
150
00:06:47.810 --> 00:06:50.630
there was no disease,
there was no poverty,
151
00:06:50.630 --> 00:06:52.580
there was abundance.
152
00:06:52.580 --> 00:06:55.970
And if you want know what is
God's original plan for a man,
153
00:06:55.970 --> 00:06:58.280
all you have to do is go
back to the garden to see
154
00:06:58.280 --> 00:07:01.190
what God really desired
for the human race.
155
00:07:01.190 --> 00:07:04.250
God wanted the human race to be blessed
156
00:07:04.250 --> 00:07:06.830
and to live in an ideal environment.
157
00:07:06.830 --> 00:07:10.100
But when you come to Genesis 2:15, we find
158
00:07:10.100 --> 00:07:13.100 line:15%
that the verse says - And the Lord God took the man
159
00:07:13.100 --> 00:07:15.260 line:15%
and put him in the Garden of Eden to dress it
160
00:07:15.260 --> 00:07:17.270 line:15%
and to keep it.
161
00:07:17.270 --> 00:07:18.560 line:15%
Now, if you're using your Bible,
162
00:07:18.560 --> 00:07:20.990 line:15%
and I hope that you are,
I want you to underline
163
00:07:20.990 --> 00:07:23.930 line:15%
or circle that word keep
because it's really important.
164
00:07:23.930 --> 00:07:26.810 line:15%
This word keep is a word of protection.
165
00:07:26.810 --> 00:07:30.620 line:15%
It means to keep to guard,
to build a hedge about
166
00:07:30.620 --> 00:07:31.640 line:15%
or to protect.
167
00:07:31.640 --> 00:07:33.170 line:15%
So you could translate it -
168
00:07:33.170 --> 00:07:35.000 line:15%
he put him in the garden to dress it
169
00:07:35.000 --> 00:07:38.240
and to keep it, to guard
it, to hedge about it
170
00:07:38.240 --> 00:07:39.620
or to protect it.
171
00:07:39.620 --> 00:07:44.030
And the only reason this word
would be used is if there's
172
00:07:44.030 --> 00:07:46.970
some sinister force out
there that's gonna try
173
00:07:46.970 --> 00:07:48.500
to find its way into the garden.
174
00:07:48.500 --> 00:07:51.320
So God had clearly warned Adam,
175
00:07:51.320 --> 00:07:53.030
it's one thing you know to know about God.
176
00:07:53.030 --> 00:07:56.000
God always warns you of
what you need to know.
177
00:07:56.000 --> 00:07:59.810
And the fact that this word
keep is used in this verse,
178
00:07:59.810 --> 00:08:03.170
which means to keep to
guard, to hedge about
179
00:08:03.170 --> 00:08:07.790
or to protect means God had communicated. My friends,
180
00:08:07.790 --> 00:08:10.010
there's no better communicator than God.
181
00:08:10.010 --> 00:08:13.700
God always makes sure we
know what we need to know.
182
00:08:13.700 --> 00:08:17.570
And God had communicated to Adam - The devil's out there,
183
00:08:17.570 --> 00:08:19.730
he's gonna try to get in here.
184
00:08:19.730 --> 00:08:22.040
Now I put you in the garden. It's ideal.
185
00:08:22.040 --> 00:08:25.700
In fact, the word garden describes that which is pleasant,
186
00:08:25.700 --> 00:08:26.930
that which is delightful.
187
00:08:26.930 --> 00:08:30.770
It was beyond our imagination.
It was so marvelous.
188
00:08:30.770 --> 00:08:34.220
It was ideal. That's
exactly what God gives.
189
00:08:34.220 --> 00:08:36.530
We read in James 1:17 that every good
190
00:08:36.530 --> 00:08:38.720
and perfect gift is from above.
191
00:08:38.720 --> 00:08:40.280 line:15%
That's what comes out of God.
192
00:08:40.280 --> 00:08:43.370 line:15%
And when God made the garden, it was ideal.
193
00:08:43.370 --> 00:08:45.320 line:15%
It was the perfect place:
194
00:08:45.320 --> 00:08:50.000 line:15%
no sin, no sickness, no disease, no illness, no strife,
195
00:08:50.000 --> 00:08:53.030 line:15%
no horrible issues of any kind.
196
00:08:53.030 --> 00:08:54.230 line:15%
It was ideal.
197
00:08:54.230 --> 00:08:57.900 line:15%
And God said to Adam, now
it's your job to keep it.
198
00:08:57.900 --> 00:08:59.460 line:15%
You've gotta protect it.
199
00:08:59.460 --> 00:09:01.410 line:15%
You've gotta build a hedge about it.
200
00:09:01.410 --> 00:09:04.980 line:15%
You've gotta make sure the
devil never gets in here.
201
00:09:04.980 --> 00:09:08.910 line:15%
So Adam was fully informed there
was an enemy that would try
202
00:09:08.910 --> 00:09:11.100 line:15%
to get in and it was his job
203
00:09:11.100 --> 00:09:13.860
to make sure the enemy was blocked
204
00:09:13.860 --> 00:09:18.860
so he could have no
access or no entry point.
205
00:09:19.290 --> 00:09:24.000
And we also read in scripture
that God had told Adam that
206
00:09:24.000 --> 00:09:27.330
of every tree in the garden
he could eat except one.
207
00:09:27.330 --> 00:09:30.990
And he said, the day you eat
of that tree, you will die.
208
00:09:30.990 --> 00:09:34.890
And a day came when Eve
was seduced by the serpent.
209
00:09:34.890 --> 00:09:38.820
She reached out and partook of
the fruit and she ate of it.
210
00:09:38.820 --> 00:09:42.870
And when Adam saw it, he
knew what she had done.
211
00:09:42.870 --> 00:09:45.180
And he knew that if he did the same,
212
00:09:45.180 --> 00:09:46.440 line:15%
he would spiritually die.
213
00:09:46.440 --> 00:09:47.730
He would open a door
214
00:09:47.730 --> 00:09:50.460
or provide an entry point for that enemy
215
00:09:50.460 --> 00:09:52.170
to get into the garden.
216
00:09:52.170 --> 00:09:55.170
But he loved his wife
so much that he chose
217
00:09:55.170 --> 00:09:57.660
to join her in what she had done.
218
00:09:57.660 --> 00:10:00.690
And when Adam reached
out to take of that fruit
219
00:10:00.690 --> 00:10:02.970
and took a bite of it in one moment,
220
00:10:02.970 --> 00:10:05.340
the door was thrown open.
221
00:10:05.340 --> 00:10:07.410
It was like the floodgates had opened
222
00:10:07.410 --> 00:10:10.710
and an entry point had been
provided for the devil.
223
00:10:10.710 --> 00:10:15.270
The devil was outside in the
wings waiting for this moment.
224
00:10:15.270 --> 00:10:18.300
And when that crack came,
when that door was opened
225
00:10:18.300 --> 00:10:19.650
and an entry point was
226
00:10:19.650 --> 00:10:23.730
provided, death came
surging into the garden.
227
00:10:23.730 --> 00:10:25.530
Now I'm gonna read to you from my notes.
228
00:10:25.530 --> 00:10:26.730 line:15%
I've written this very carefully
229
00:10:26.730 --> 00:10:28.230
because I want you to really understand
230
00:10:28.230 --> 00:10:29.730 line:15%
what happened in that moment.
231
00:10:29.730 --> 00:10:34.470 line:15%
Think of what happens when a
massive dam suddenly cracks
232
00:10:34.470 --> 00:10:38.070 line:15%
and breaks under immense pressure. With a deafening roar,
233
00:10:38.070 --> 00:10:43.070 line:15%
the dam yields as its immense structure shatters violently
234
00:10:43.170 --> 00:10:45.990 line:15%
and releases a powerful wall of water.
235
00:10:45.990 --> 00:10:48.510 line:15%
The torrent frothing and churning
236
00:10:48.510 --> 00:10:51.210 line:15%
and carrying debris in its tumultuous embrace.
237
00:10:51.210 --> 00:10:53.460 line:15%
And like a relentless force of nature,
238
00:10:53.460 --> 00:10:57.480 line:15%
the water spreads out across the landscape, flooding fields,
239
00:10:57.480 --> 00:10:58.980 line:15%
roads and buildings.
240
00:10:58.980 --> 00:11:02.430 line:15%
And having broke free from
the confines of the dam
241
00:11:02.430 --> 00:11:06.330 line:15%
that once held it back, the
waters continue to spread
242
00:11:06.330 --> 00:11:08.790 line:15%
and leave a trail of
destruction in their wake.
243
00:11:08.790 --> 00:11:12.570 line:15%
As the water engulfs
everything in its path,
244
00:11:12.570 --> 00:11:15.900 line:15%
uprooting trees, obliterating
manmade structures
245
00:11:15.900 --> 00:11:20.280 line:15%
and erasing familiar landscape. That's exactly
246
00:11:20.280 --> 00:11:22.650
what happens when Adam reached out
247
00:11:22.650 --> 00:11:24.090
and partook of that fruit.
248
00:11:24.090 --> 00:11:26.880
In the very same way a dam can break
249
00:11:26.880 --> 00:11:30.510
and releases a torrent that destroys everything in its path,
250
00:11:30.510 --> 00:11:33.060
when he reached out and partook of that fruit
251
00:11:33.060 --> 00:11:35.490
and transgressed God's commandment
252
00:11:35.490 --> 00:11:37.230
and there was nothing accidental about it,
253
00:11:37.230 --> 00:11:39.720
he understood exactly what he was doing in
254
00:11:39.720 --> 00:11:43.320 line:15%
that moment when the door was thrown wide open
255
00:11:43.320 --> 00:11:45.570 line:15%
by Adam's transgression, it was
256
00:11:45.570 --> 00:11:49.560 line:15%
as if a spiritual dam had broken
257
00:11:49.560 --> 00:11:53.290 line:15%
and suddenly the earth was engulfed by an
258
00:11:53.290 --> 00:11:58.290 line:15%
and dark presence that quickly began to contort, pervert,
259
00:11:58.480 --> 00:12:02.680 line:15%
and twist everything God had
originally created to be good.
260
00:12:02.680 --> 00:12:04.240 line:15%
And with that damn broken
261
00:12:04.240 --> 00:12:09.040 line:15%
and the door standing wide
open, the very essence of evil
262
00:12:09.040 --> 00:12:12.730 line:15%
begin to consume everything in its path
263
00:12:12.730 --> 00:12:16.780 line:15%
and darkness, unfurled its tendrils
264
00:12:16.780 --> 00:12:19.300 line:15%
into every sphere of the planet.
265
00:12:19.300 --> 00:12:22.480 line:15%
The darkness pulsed
with an insidious energy
266
00:12:22.480 --> 00:12:25.180 line:15%
and exuded an aura of malevolence
267
00:12:25.180 --> 00:12:27.430 line:15%
as evil spread and filled the earth,
268
00:12:27.430 --> 00:12:31.180
and its dreadful essence, a presence that carried
269
00:12:31.180 --> 00:12:33.280 line:15%
with it death and destruction.
270
00:12:33.280 --> 00:12:36.610 line:15%
And through the open door
entry point that Adam opened
271
00:12:36.610 --> 00:12:40.360 line:15%
by his willful transgression,
death entered the world
272
00:12:40.360 --> 00:12:43.900 line:15%
with a furious intensity.
273
00:12:43.900 --> 00:12:46.120
Oh, I want you to see this:
274
00:12:46.120 --> 00:12:49.030 line:15%
death literally flooded into the world once
275
00:12:49.030 --> 00:12:51.160 line:15%
that entry point had been
276
00:12:51.160 --> 00:12:53.650 line:15%
provided. The devil was waiting for it.
277
00:12:53.650 --> 00:12:56.230 line:15%
And you need to know the devil's always looking for a way
278
00:12:56.230 --> 00:12:57.880 line:15%
to access your life.
279
00:12:57.880 --> 00:13:00.580 line:15%
Now, you may not feel that
you're living in the garden
280
00:13:00.580 --> 00:13:03.310
of Eden, but your life
is your gift from God.
281
00:13:03.310 --> 00:13:06.550
And just like God told Adam to keep the garden,
282
00:13:06.550 --> 00:13:09.010
to protect it, to build a hedge about it, to safeguard it,
283
00:13:09.010 --> 00:13:13.060
to protect it, you have a divine responsibility given to you
284
00:13:13.060 --> 00:13:15.010
by God to protect your life.
285
00:13:15.010 --> 00:13:18.160
The enemy is looking for a way to get in.
286
00:13:18.160 --> 00:13:22.000
And when we come to Genesis 3:17,
287
00:13:22.000 --> 00:13:23.320
here's what we read.
288
00:13:23.320 --> 00:13:27.310 line:15%
God said to man and unto Adam, God said,
289
00:13:27.310 --> 00:13:30.490 line:15%
because thou hast harkened unto the voice of thy wife
290
00:13:30.490 --> 00:13:33.130 line:15%
and has eaten of the tree of which I commended these saying,
291
00:13:33.130 --> 00:13:34.300 line:15%
thou shall not eat of it,
292
00:13:34.300 --> 00:13:37.840 line:15%
cursed is the ground for thy sake.
293
00:13:37.840 --> 00:13:42.040 line:15%
And the word cursed means to
bitterly and horribly curse.
294
00:13:42.040 --> 00:13:44.380 line:15%
It's not what God does. God is a blesser.
295
00:13:44.380 --> 00:13:46.180 line:15%
Every good and perfect gift is from above.
296
00:13:46.180 --> 00:13:50.110
But now a curse carried
by death came through
297
00:13:50.110 --> 00:13:51.700
that entry point into the earth
298
00:13:51.700 --> 00:13:53.530
and immediately began to cascade
299
00:13:53.530 --> 00:13:57.160
and begin to proliferate all
around the planet, cursing
300
00:13:57.160 --> 00:13:58.930
and horribly and bitterly cursing
301
00:13:58.930 --> 00:14:00.760
everything that it touched.
302
00:14:00.760 --> 00:14:04.450
And the Bible says, cursed
is the ground for thy sake.
303
00:14:04.450 --> 00:14:07.330 line:15%
And this word ground describes not only the planet
304
00:14:07.330 --> 00:14:08.710 line:15%
or the earth itself,
305
00:14:08.710 --> 00:14:10.900 line:15%
but everything in the earth realm,
306
00:14:10.900 --> 00:14:13.540 line:15%
which means everything
was suddenly touched
307
00:14:13.540 --> 00:14:15.430 line:15%
by the spirit of death.
308
00:14:15.430 --> 00:14:17.170 line:15%
And the verse says - for thy sake.
309
00:14:17.170 --> 00:14:19.360 line:15%
Now some people read this,
I'm gonna curse the earth
310
00:14:19.360 --> 00:14:20.440
because of what you've done.
311
00:14:20.440 --> 00:14:22.240
That's not what it means.
312
00:14:22.240 --> 00:14:25.630 line:15%
The words, for thy sake, would be better translated -
313
00:14:25.630 --> 00:14:29.110 line:15%
cursed is the ground on account of you.
314
00:14:29.110 --> 00:14:30.790 line:15%
Cursed is the ground
315
00:14:30.790 --> 00:14:34.780 line:15%
because of what you have done.
316
00:14:34.780 --> 00:14:37.660 line:15%
God had warned them in advance.
317
00:14:37.660 --> 00:14:40.810 line:15%
If you open the door,
it's gonna be a sad moment
318
00:14:40.810 --> 00:14:43.570 line:15%
because death is gonna come rushing in.
319
00:14:43.570 --> 00:14:47.200 line:15%
And as a result, God said to them in Genesis 3:18
320
00:14:47.200 --> 00:14:51.440 line:15%
thorns and also thistles shall it the earth realm bring
321
00:14:51.440 --> 00:14:54.770 line:15%
forth to the, and thou shalt
eat the herb of the field.
322
00:14:54.770 --> 00:14:58.550 line:15%
The word thorns - listen to this - describes thorns,
323
00:14:58.550 --> 00:15:01.280 line:15%
thorn bushes or dangerous,
hurtful, prickly,
324
00:15:01.280 --> 00:15:03.110 line:15%
prickly situations.
325
00:15:03.110 --> 00:15:05.360 line:15%
And this word is figuratively used
326
00:15:05.360 --> 00:15:08.360 line:15%
to describe dangerous enemies.
327
00:15:08.360 --> 00:15:10.250 line:15%
Think about it. Until that time,
328
00:15:10.250 --> 00:15:13.010 line:15%
thorns did not exist on roses.
329
00:15:13.010 --> 00:15:14.480 line:15%
Roses were just beautiful.
330
00:15:14.480 --> 00:15:16.160 line:15%
But suddenly beautiful,
331
00:15:16.160 --> 00:15:18.770 line:15%
beautiful roses were cursed with thorns.
332
00:15:18.770 --> 00:15:20.960 line:15%
They were painful to the touch.
333
00:15:20.960 --> 00:15:22.100 line:15%
According to this verse,
334
00:15:22.100 --> 00:15:25.160 line:15%
thorns appeared in the earth prickly situations.
335
00:15:25.160 --> 00:15:26.960 line:15%
The earth suddenly became a place filled
336
00:15:26.960 --> 00:15:30.140 line:15%
with dangerous enemies and thistles.
337
00:15:30.140 --> 00:15:32.990 line:15%
And the word thistles is a
word which describes something
338
00:15:32.990 --> 00:15:36.260 line:15%
that is growing out of control.
339
00:15:36.260 --> 00:15:39.470 line:15%
So now this wonderful haven called the Garden of Eden,
340
00:15:39.470 --> 00:15:42.920 line:15%
which was beautiful and idyllically made by God for man,
341
00:15:42.920 --> 00:15:45.620 line:15%
suddenly it is filled with thorn bushels.
342
00:15:45.620 --> 00:15:48.290 line:15%
It is filled with all
kinds of horrible things.
343
00:15:48.290 --> 00:15:49.970 line:15%
It is running out of control.
344
00:15:49.970 --> 00:15:53.240 line:15%
It happened instantaneously
when death touched it,
345
00:15:53.240 --> 00:15:57.470 line:15%
suddenly everything God made
was contorted and twisted
346
00:15:57.470 --> 00:15:59.120 line:15%
and perverted.
347
00:15:59.120 --> 00:16:02.030 line:15%
And again, in Genesis 3:17, God says,
348
00:16:02.030 --> 00:16:05.270 line:15%
cursed is the ground for thy sake.
349
00:16:05.270 --> 00:16:08.780 line:15%
It literally means because
of what you have done,
350
00:16:08.780 --> 00:16:12.560 line:15%
which means it was Adam's disobedience that opened the door
351
00:16:12.560 --> 00:16:14.420 line:15%
to the devil,
352
00:16:14.420 --> 00:16:16.040 line:15%
provided an entry point
353
00:16:16.040 --> 00:16:20.150 line:15%
through which death came
surging into the earth.
354
00:16:21.440 --> 00:16:23.600 line:15%
But in the very beginning
it was not this way.
355
00:16:24.440 --> 00:16:27.350 line:15%
In the very beginning it was God's idea.
356
00:16:27.350 --> 00:16:31.430 line:15%
It was God's plan, it was God's will
357
00:16:32.300 --> 00:16:34.910 line:15%
for sorrow to be completely unknown.
358
00:16:34.910 --> 00:16:37.100 line:15%
That was God's plan.
359
00:16:37.100 --> 00:16:40.730 line:15%
But with Adam's single act of defiance,
360
00:16:40.730 --> 00:16:42.140 line:15%
the floodgates opened
361
00:16:43.250 --> 00:16:47.720 line:15%
and death entered the entire
fabric of earthly existence.
362
00:16:47.720 --> 00:16:50.060 line:15%
And we can see the consequences
363
00:16:50.060 --> 00:16:52.970 line:15%
of this still in the world today: consequences
364
00:16:52.970 --> 00:16:55.910 line:15%
that stem from that original
moment of disobedience.
365
00:16:55.910 --> 00:17:00.410 line:15%
But none of it was ever a
part of God's original design.
366
00:17:00.410 --> 00:17:03.560 line:15%
And today, when you look at
the world all over the world,
367
00:17:03.560 --> 00:17:06.620 line:15%
you can see the malevolent
presence of death
368
00:17:06.620 --> 00:17:08.990 line:15%
and it manifests in so
many different ways.
369
00:17:08.990 --> 00:17:13.990 line:15%
Bloodshed, disease, earthquakes, famines,
370
00:17:14.510 --> 00:17:19.510 line:15%
hunger, murder, pestilence, perversion,
371
00:17:19.910 --> 00:17:24.170 line:15%
sickness, strife, war: none
372
00:17:24.170 --> 00:17:27.145 line:15%
of these things existed
373
00:17:27.145 --> 00:17:29.780 line:15%
before Adam's transgression.
374
00:17:29.780 --> 00:17:33.410 line:15%
All of it is the effect
of Adam opening the door
375
00:17:33.410 --> 00:17:36.410 line:15%
and providing an entry point
to death that was looking
376
00:17:36.410 --> 00:17:38.150 line:15%
for a way to get in.
377
00:17:38.150 --> 00:17:42.710 line:15%
None of it, absolutely
none of it is God's doing.
378
00:17:43.580 --> 00:17:47.330
And in fact, death became so all pervasive
379
00:17:47.330 --> 00:17:51.660 line:15%
that we read in Romans 12:5 - Wherefore. The word,
380
00:17:51.660 --> 00:17:54.750 line:15%
wherefore, in Greek is it means as a result of this or
381
00:17:54.750 --> 00:17:59.750 line:15%
consequently, as by one man through Adam,
382
00:17:59.760 --> 00:18:01.980 line:15%
sin entered the world and death by sin.
383
00:18:01.980 --> 00:18:05.460 line:15%
So death passed upon all men.
384
00:18:05.460 --> 00:18:08.700 line:15%
And the word death is the Greek word, thanatos.
385
00:18:08.700 --> 00:18:11.100 line:15%
It's the word for physical and spiritual death.
386
00:18:11.100 --> 00:18:15.150 line:15%
And it was also notably used to depict a death sentence.
387
00:18:15.150 --> 00:18:18.210 line:15%
In this moment, the spirit of
death entered into the world,
388
00:18:18.210 --> 00:18:19.740 line:15%
physical death, spiritual death,
389
00:18:19.740 --> 00:18:24.420 line:15%
and literally a death sentence
passed upon everything in the
390
00:18:24.420 --> 00:18:25.620 line:15%
natural realm.
391
00:18:25.620 --> 00:18:29.730 line:15%
Wow. And that's when bloodshed, disease, earthquakes,
392
00:18:29.730 --> 00:18:33.330 line:15%
famines, hunger, murder, pestilence, perversion, sickness,
393
00:18:33.330 --> 00:18:37.080 line:15%
strife, war, all of these
things begin to emerge.
394
00:18:37.080 --> 00:18:38.880 line:15%
They begin to mark creation.
395
00:18:38.880 --> 00:18:43.230 line:15%
But none of it existed
before Adams transgression.
396
00:18:43.230 --> 00:18:44.940 line:15%
That is just amazing.
397
00:18:44.940 --> 00:18:48.240 line:15%
And in fact, Romans 5:17 says - death reigned.
398
00:18:48.240 --> 00:18:51.960 line:15%
And the word reigned means it reigned like a king.
399
00:18:51.960 --> 00:18:54.750
And my friends, it has been reigning from that time
400
00:18:54.750 --> 00:18:58.500
until the present except for those that are born
401
00:18:58.500 --> 00:19:00.360
of God.
402
00:19:00.360 --> 00:19:03.720
And we are told in 1 John 5:4 -
403
00:19:03.720 --> 00:19:07.320 line:15%
that whatever is born of God overcomes the world.
404
00:19:07.320 --> 00:19:11.070 line:15%
We're also told in Romans 5:17
405
00:19:11.070 --> 00:19:13.710 line:15%
and 21, that we that are born again,
406
00:19:13.710 --> 00:19:16.200
we have received the
abundance of grace of God
407
00:19:16.200 --> 00:19:19.470
and the righteousness of God,
the gift of righteousness.
408
00:19:19.470 --> 00:19:23.190
And now rather than us
being dominated by death,
409
00:19:23.190 --> 00:19:25.320
we've been given the upper hand.
410
00:19:25.320 --> 00:19:29.130
And those of us that are born
of God, we have the ability
411
00:19:29.130 --> 00:19:31.590 line:15%
to overcome everything
that is in the world,
412
00:19:31.590 --> 00:19:35.400 line:15%
including the spirit of death
and all of its consequences.
413
00:19:35.400 --> 00:19:37.560 line:15%
That means we don't have
to throw in the towel
414
00:19:37.560 --> 00:19:39.330 line:15%
and just surrender to sickness.
415
00:19:39.330 --> 00:19:40.650 line:15%
We don't have to throw in the towel
416
00:19:40.650 --> 00:19:43.020 line:15%
and surrender to poverty.
417
00:19:43.020 --> 00:19:47.250 line:15%
God longs for something
better than that for us.
418
00:19:47.250 --> 00:19:49.980 line:15%
God wants to restore us
to the garden, a life
419
00:19:49.980 --> 00:19:51.360 line:15%
that is abundant.
420
00:19:51.360 --> 00:19:54.600
That's what Jesus said in John 10:10 - I have come
421
00:19:54.600 --> 00:19:55.740 line:15%
that you might have life
422
00:19:55.740 --> 00:19:59.490
and have it more abundantly, it's the thief that comes
423
00:19:59.490 --> 00:20:00.990
to steal, to kill and to destroy.
424
00:20:00.990 --> 00:20:03.360
And then when you look at
what happened, when Adam
425
00:20:03.360 --> 00:20:05.760
provided an entry point in the garden,
426
00:20:05.760 --> 00:20:09.030
you can immediately see the
activity of the enemy to kill,
427
00:20:09.030 --> 00:20:10.650
to steal and to destroy.
428
00:20:10.650 --> 00:20:13.290
He came in with all of his twisted behavior
429
00:20:13.290 --> 00:20:16.090
and began to twist and contort and pervert
430
00:20:16.090 --> 00:20:18.450
everything that God had made.
431
00:20:18.450 --> 00:20:21.570
But when we're saved, we are delivered from the kingdom
432
00:20:21.570 --> 00:20:25.890
of darkness, translated into the kingdom of God's dear son
433
00:20:25.890 --> 00:20:30.360
and given a faith that enables
us to override the system
434
00:20:30.360 --> 00:20:34.410
and to override the spirit of
death that is in the world.
435
00:20:34.410 --> 00:20:39.410
And it means we can overcome
disease, we can overcome
436
00:20:39.420 --> 00:20:42.870
sickness, we can overcome
every form of illness,
437
00:20:42.870 --> 00:20:44.790
and we can stand and walk
438
00:20:44.790 --> 00:20:48.820
and enjoy the divine
health that Jesus purchased
439
00:20:48.820 --> 00:20:51.430
for us on the cross.
440
00:20:51.430 --> 00:20:56.080
But we have to be very careful
that we don't open a door
441
00:20:56.080 --> 00:20:58.000
for the devil to come in and afflict us.
442
00:20:58.000 --> 00:21:01.930
Now, there you are, the Bible tells us by Jesus stripes
443
00:21:01.930 --> 00:21:03.580
you were healed.
444
00:21:03.580 --> 00:21:07.630
Not gonna be healed, you were
healed. It belongs to you.
445
00:21:07.630 --> 00:21:09.910
Now your job is to keep your healing.
446
00:21:09.910 --> 00:21:12.760
And if you've lost your healing along the way, you need
447
00:21:12.760 --> 00:21:14.110
to ask, what have I done?
448
00:21:14.110 --> 00:21:17.620 line:15%
How have I opened a door? Have
I provided an entry point?
449
00:21:17.620 --> 00:21:19.030 line:15%
And in this series, we're going
450
00:21:19.030 --> 00:21:23.470 line:15%
to be identifying 7-primary entry points
451
00:21:23.470 --> 00:21:26.920 line:15%
that the devil uses to
access people's lives.
452
00:21:26.920 --> 00:21:30.310 line:15%
And I'm teaching this to you
because I want to help you
453
00:21:30.310 --> 00:21:34.720 line:15%
and I want you to be
healthy and to be healed.
454
00:21:34.720 --> 00:21:36.820 line:15%
Wow, this is a good beginning.
455
00:21:36.820 --> 00:21:39.250 line:15%
I'll be back in just a moment
and I'm going to pray for you.
456
00:21:47.860 --> 00:21:51.790
Someone has asked the question - Is God's calling supposed
457
00:21:51.790 --> 00:21:54.220 line:15%
to make me happy?
458
00:21:54.220 --> 00:21:56.770 line:15%
Well, I don't like that word happy
459
00:21:56.770 --> 00:22:00.250
because happy is an emotion
that comes and goes.
460
00:22:00.250 --> 00:22:02.620
I say that being happy is kind
461
00:22:02.620 --> 00:22:05.110
of like the ripples on the top of a lake.
462
00:22:05.110 --> 00:22:08.950
Sometimes the lake is calm, sometimes the lake has ripples,
463
00:22:08.950 --> 00:22:11.200
sometimes the water's really churned up.
464
00:22:11.200 --> 00:22:15.490
It all depends on the wind
or the outside pressure.
465
00:22:15.490 --> 00:22:18.970
The wind and different
variables can affect the top
466
00:22:18.970 --> 00:22:22.480
of a lake, but down deep
in the bottom of the lake,
467
00:22:22.480 --> 00:22:25.090 line:15%
usually there is a current that flows
468
00:22:25.090 --> 00:22:27.880 line:15%
and it's consistent
regardless of what's happening
469
00:22:27.880 --> 00:22:30.160 line:15%
by external pressures.
470
00:22:30.160 --> 00:22:34.450
And that is joy. You can
have joy serving the Lord.
471
00:22:34.450 --> 00:22:36.970
It doesn't matter what's
going on, you can have joy.
472
00:22:36.970 --> 00:22:40.150 line:15%
And Paul said to the Thessalonians in 1
473
00:22:40.150 --> 00:22:42.970 line:15%
Thessalonians 1:6 - And you became followers of us
474
00:22:42.970 --> 00:22:47.680 line:15%
and of the Lord having received the word in much affliction
475
00:22:47.680 --> 00:22:50.530 line:15%
with joy of the Holy Ghost.
476
00:22:50.530 --> 00:22:53.140 line:15%
The Thessalonians were very persecuted,
477
00:22:53.140 --> 00:22:56.020
but in the midst of it all,
maybe they weren't happy,
478
00:22:56.020 --> 00:22:59.800
but they really had a very deep running joy in their life.
479
00:22:59.800 --> 00:23:02.650
And that's what God wants
you to have as well.
480
00:23:02.650 --> 00:23:05.290
Yes, you can have joy
481
00:23:05.290 --> 00:23:08.200
as you fulfill God's call on your life.
482
00:23:08.200 --> 00:23:11.320 line:15%
The devil is looking for
a way to access your life.
483
00:23:11.320 --> 00:23:13.000 line:15%
And if every door is not shut,
484
00:23:13.000 --> 00:23:16.810 line:15%
he will find a way in. In Rick Renner's 10 part series,
485
00:23:16.810 --> 00:23:18.280 line:15%
Entry Points, How
486
00:23:18.280 --> 00:23:21.010 line:15%
to Stop the Devil from Attacking You With Sickness,
487
00:23:21.010 --> 00:23:24.190 line:15%
you'll learn how to walk in
your healing, experiencing it,
488
00:23:24.190 --> 00:23:27.100 line:15%
enjoying it, and making sure every door
489
00:23:27.100 --> 00:23:29.770 line:15%
to the devil is closed permanently.
490
00:23:29.770 --> 00:23:32.260 line:15%
Rick will teach you how to guard your life
491
00:23:32.260 --> 00:23:34.300 line:15%
and walk in God's protection, how
492
00:23:34.300 --> 00:23:37.150 line:15%
to identify hidden entry
points in your life, how

Proverbs 10:21 says, the lips of the righteous feed many.
515
00:24:41.000 --> 00:24:42.680 line:15%
And that verse is mine.
516
00:24:42.680 --> 00:24:46.310 line:15%
I know that God has called
me to teach the word of God
517
00:24:46.310 --> 00:24:48.380 line:15%
to people all over the world.
518
00:24:48.380 --> 00:24:51.500 line:15%
And my friends, there are
people crying out for somebody
519
00:24:51.500 --> 00:24:55.070 line:15%
to bring them the trusted
teaching of the Bible.
520
00:24:55.070 --> 00:24:58.400 line:15%
And I know that is my God-given assignment
521
00:24:58.400 --> 00:25:00.590 line:15%
and I'm able to do it
because of the anointing
522
00:25:00.590 --> 00:25:02.060 line:15%
and the grace of God
523
00:25:02.060 --> 00:25:03.830 line:15%
and because of partners
524
00:25:03.830 --> 00:25:06.710 line:15%
who sow their resources into this ministry:
525
00:25:06.710 --> 00:25:08.630 line:15%
they put the fuel in the tank
526
00:25:08.630 --> 00:25:12.230 line:15%
so we can get the trusted teaching of the Bible to people
527
00:25:12.230 --> 00:25:13.880 line:15%
around the planet.
528
00:25:13.880 --> 00:25:17.000
And I want to ask you today - If you are not a partner
529
00:25:17.000 --> 00:25:18.050 line:15%
with our ministry yet,
530
00:25:18.050 --> 00:25:20.150 line:15%
would you please pray about becoming a partner:
531
00:25:20.150 --> 00:25:21.830 line:15%
become a part of our giving team
532
00:25:21.830 --> 00:25:25.250 line:15%
and a part of our family,
working with me and my wife,
533
00:25:25.250 --> 00:25:29.360 line:15%
and my family, and our team as
we take the trusted teaching
534
00:25:29.360 --> 00:25:34.105 line:15%
of the Bible to people around
the world, we really need you.
535
00:25:34.105 --> 00:25:36.230 line:15%
And the moment you become
a partner, we're going
536
00:25:36.230 --> 00:25:39.650 line:15%
to send you my book called
Life in the Combat Zone
537
00:25:39.650 --> 00:25:42.350 line:15%
because this is always
a gift we give to those
538
00:25:42.350 --> 00:25:44.990 line:15%
who become a part of our partner family.
539
00:25:44.990 --> 00:25:46.730 line:15%
But I invite you to join us
540
00:25:46.730 --> 00:25:49.250 line:15%
and I thank you in advance for helping us
541
00:25:49.250 --> 00:25:51.710 line:15%
to take the trusted teaching of the Bible
542
00:25:51.710 --> 00:25:54.410 line:15%
to people around the world.
543
00:25:54.410 --> 00:25:56.450 line:15%
Well, today we have
covered a lot of material,
544
00:25:56.450 --> 00:25:59.060 line:15%
but when we return
tomorrow, we're gonna see
545
00:25:59.060 --> 00:26:02.540
that God's grace in your
life has dethroned the
546
00:26:02.540 --> 00:26:04.130
rule of death.
547
00:26:04.130 --> 00:26:07.490
And my friends, now you've
been given the upper hand,
548
00:26:07.490 --> 00:26:11.840
you have a faith that literally overrides the system.
549
00:26:11.840 --> 00:26:13.790
It's gonna be so good tomorrow.
550
00:26:13.790 --> 00:26:15.530 line:15%
But hey, I want
551
00:26:15.530 --> 00:26:18.080 line:15%
to tell you again about my series called Entry Points - How
552
00:26:18.080 --> 00:26:21.530 line:15%
to Stop the Devil from Attacking You with Sickness.
553
00:26:21.530 --> 00:26:25.580 line:15%
It comes with a wonderful companion study guide,
554
00:26:25.580 --> 00:26:29.240 line:15%
and I have a new book, you say another new book.
555
00:26:29.240 --> 00:26:30.680 line:15%
I write a lot of books.
556
00:26:30.680 --> 00:26:32.930 line:15%
This is my first book I've ever written on
557
00:26:32.930 --> 00:26:34.040 line:15%
the subject of healing.
558
00:26:34.040 --> 00:26:37.610 line:15%
And it's called, Everything You Need to Know About Healing.
559
00:26:37.610 --> 00:26:42.110 line:15%
It is so comprehensive, I know it will really help you
560
00:26:42.110 --> 00:26:44.100 line:15%
and it will be a blessing somebody else.
561
00:26:44.100 --> 00:26:46.950 line:15%
But if you want to know
more about these, go online
562
00:26:46.950 --> 00:26:49.110 line:15%
to our website or give us a call.
563
00:26:49.110 --> 00:26:50.820 line:15%
We're waiting to hear from you.
564
00:26:50.820 --> 00:26:52.050 line:15%
And when you reach out to us,
565
00:26:52.050 --> 00:26:53.310 line:15%
let us know how to pray for you.
566
00:26:53.310 --> 00:26:56.820 line:15%
And this week, especially if
you're dealing with sickness
567
00:26:56.820 --> 00:26:58.710 line:15%
or if you have a loved one
or a friend that's dealing
568
00:26:58.710 --> 00:26:59.760 line:15%
with sickness, let us know.
569
00:26:59.760 --> 00:27:02.910 line:15%
We want to pray with you for
the manifestation of healing
570
00:27:02.910 --> 00:27:05.340 line:15%
to show up in your life or in theirs.
571
00:27:05.340 --> 00:27:06.870 line:15%
And we'll believe God with you.
572
00:27:06.870 --> 00:27:08.730 line:15%
And Father, we thank
you in the name of Jesus
573
00:27:08.730 --> 00:27:13.200 line:15%
that it is your will for us
to have an abundant life.
574
00:27:13.200 --> 00:27:14.730 line:15%
Lord, you do not want death
575
00:27:14.730 --> 00:27:17.580 line:15%
or any of its consequences to work in us.
576
00:27:17.580 --> 00:27:19.800 line:15%
Lord, you delivered us from
the kingdom of darkness
577
00:27:19.800 --> 00:27:22.200 line:15%
and translated us into the kingdom of your dear Son
578
00:27:22.200 --> 00:27:25.590 line:15%
where there's light and life and we embrace it.
579
00:27:25.590 --> 00:27:30.240 line:15%
In Jesus' name - Amen. I see you in the next program.
580
00:27:30.240 --> 00:27:33.930 line:15%
But remember Ecclesiastes 8:4 says - "Where the word
581
00:27:33.930 --> 00:27:37.350 line:15%
of a king is, there is power."
582
00:27:37.350 --> 00:27:39.600 line:15%
If you've never received Jesus as your Savior
583
00:27:39.600 --> 00:27:43.980 line:15%
and Lord, now is the time for you to experience a new life
584
00:27:43.980 --> 00:27:46.140 line:15%
Jesus has to give you.
585
00:27:46.140 --> 00:27:50.220 line:15%
Pray this prayer with me right now - Lord,
586
00:27:50.220 --> 00:27:54.240 line:15%
I repent of my sin and receive you as my Savior
587
00:27:54.240 --> 00:27:57.210 line:15%
and Lord. Wash away my sin
588
00:27:57.210 --> 00:28:00.210 line:15%
and make me completely new.
589
00:28:00.210 --> 00:28:04.080 line:15%
I thank you that my sin is removed
590
00:28:04.080 --> 00:28:08.760 line:15%
and Satan no longer has any
right to lay claim on me.
591
00:28:09.600 --> 00:28:13.560 line:15%
I faithfully promise that I will serve you as my Lord
592
00:28:13.560 --> 00:28:15.720 line:15%
for the rest of my life -
593
00:28:15.720 --> 00:28:16.720 line:15%
Amen.
