00:00:01.350 --> 00:00:04.050 line:15%
This program is made
possible by the giving
2
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
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 --> 00:00:26.220 line:15%
but dive deep revealing a
truth that strengthens us,
9
00:00:27.060 --> 00:00:28.980 line:15%
a love that emboldens,
10
00:00:30.090 --> 00:00:34.890 line:15%
and a mission that
touches the world. Let's
11
00:00:34.890 --> 00:00:36.120 line:15%
join Rick Renner.
12
00:00:38.310 --> 00:00:39.870 line:15%
Welcome to today's program.
13
00:00:39.870 --> 00:00:43.320
My name is Rick Renner and
I've been waiting for you.
14
00:00:43.320 --> 00:00:45.420
And today I'm gonna continue my series,
15
00:00:45.420 --> 00:00:47.490 line:15%
which is called Entry Points.
16
00:00:47.490 --> 00:00:49.080 line:15%
It's a 10 part series.
17
00:00:49.080 --> 00:00:50.460 line:15%
The subtitle says, how
18
00:00:50.460 --> 00:00:54.570 line:15%
to Stop the Devil from
Attacking You With Sickness.
19
00:00:54.570 --> 00:00:56.670 line:15%
If you're tired of being sick,
20
00:00:57.510 --> 00:00:59.460 line:15%
this series has an answer for you
21
00:00:59.460 --> 00:01:01.470 line:15%
and it comes with a study guide.
22
00:01:01.470 --> 00:01:03.420 line:15%
And I have a new book.
23
00:01:03.420 --> 00:01:04.800 line:15%
I write a lot of books,
24
00:01:04.800 --> 00:01:08.730 line:15%
but this book is my first
book I've ever written on the
25
00:01:08.730 --> 00:01:10.440 line:15%
subject of healing.
26
00:01:10.440 --> 00:01:12.360 line:15%
You know, I don't know
how to write a small book.
27
00:01:12.360 --> 00:01:16.440 line:15%
That's my challenge. But this
book is so comprehensive.
28
00:01:16.440 --> 00:01:21.440 line:15%
It's everything you need
to know about healing.
29
00:01:21.840 --> 00:01:23.520 line:15%
It is really comprehensive.
30
00:01:23.520 --> 00:01:25.950 line:15%
We've left no stone unturned
31
00:01:25.950 --> 00:01:29.280 line:15%
because I want to answer the
questions about why Christians
32
00:01:29.280 --> 00:01:31.380 line:15%
get sick, what they
need to do to get well,
33
00:01:31.380 --> 00:01:32.520 line:15%
how do they get well?
34
00:01:32.520 --> 00:01:34.470 line:15%
What does God's word really promise?
35
00:01:34.470 --> 00:01:38.280 line:15%
And you know, I read a book
by a friend named Mike Clark,
36
00:01:38.280 --> 00:01:41.490 line:15%
and the name of the book
is There's a Light at the
37
00:01:41.490 --> 00:01:42.540 line:15%
End of Your Tunnel.
38
00:01:42.540 --> 00:01:44.130 line:15%
And when I read this book,
39
00:01:44.130 --> 00:01:46.380 line:15%
I asked if I could write the Forward
40
00:01:46.380 --> 00:01:47.790 line:15%
because it's so powerful.
41
00:01:47.790 --> 00:01:51.300 line:15%
It talks about how he, when
he was diagnosed with cancer,
42
00:01:51.300 --> 00:01:54.060 line:15%
walked from cancer into healing.
43
00:01:54.060 --> 00:01:57.060 line:15%
And I thought that book would
be so encouraging for many,
44
00:01:57.060 --> 00:02:00.420 line:15%
many people that are
dealing with health issues.
45
00:02:00.420 --> 00:02:02.850 line:15%
But all these things, if you
wanna know more about them,
46
00:02:02.850 --> 00:02:04.410 line:15%
just go online or give us a call.
47
00:02:04.410 --> 00:02:06.810 line:15%
And when you reach out to us,
48
00:02:06.810 --> 00:02:08.160 line:15%
let us know how to pray for you.
49
00:02:08.160 --> 00:02:10.770 line:15%
And this week, especially
if you're dealing
50
00:02:10.770 --> 00:02:12.480 line:15%
with any health issues
51
00:02:12.480 --> 00:02:15.210 line:15%
or if you're knowing somebody
who is, maybe it's a loved one
52
00:02:15.210 --> 00:02:17.370 line:15%
or it's a friend, let us know.
53
00:02:17.370 --> 00:02:18.600 line:15%
We want to pray with you.
54
00:02:18.600 --> 00:02:21.810 line:15%
We receive so many testimonies from people
55
00:02:21.810 --> 00:02:23.730 line:15%
that receive miracles and healings
56
00:02:23.730 --> 00:02:25.830 line:15%
after they reach out to us for prayer.
57
00:02:25.830 --> 00:02:28.230 line:15%
But I have to be honest,
there are other people
58
00:02:28.230 --> 00:02:29.730
who have reached out to us for prayer
59
00:02:29.730 --> 00:02:31.830 line:15%
and they have not received the answer yet.
60
00:02:31.830 --> 00:02:33.720 line:15%
They're still standing in faith,
61
00:02:33.720 --> 00:02:36.990
but they're wondering, why did I get sick?
62
00:02:36.990 --> 00:02:39.270
If Jesus really purchased healing
63
00:02:39.270 --> 00:02:44.270
and health from me on the cross, then why did I get sick?
64
00:02:44.370 --> 00:02:46.230
And this week and next week,
65
00:02:46.230 --> 00:02:49.320
we're looking at entry
points the devil uses
66
00:02:49.320 --> 00:02:53.070
to enter people's lives,
to make them sick.
67
00:02:53.070 --> 00:02:56.700
And so far we've already
seen that No.1,
68
00:02:56.700 --> 00:02:59.530
the main culprit is the curse,
69
00:02:59.530 --> 00:03:02.560
which entered the earth in
the very beginning of time.
70
00:03:02.560 --> 00:03:05.650
It afflicted the entire the earth with all kinds of disease.
71
00:03:05.650 --> 00:03:07.990
It contorted everything good that God made,
72
00:03:07.990 --> 00:03:10.570 line:15%
and that's when sickness entered into the planet.
73
00:03:10.570 --> 00:03:12.670 line:15%
That's reason No.1.
74
00:03:12.670 --> 00:03:16.150 line:15%
Then we saw reason No.2 is a lack of knowledge.
75
00:03:16.150 --> 00:03:19.300 line:15%
It creates an entry point through which the enemy enters in.
76
00:03:19.300 --> 00:03:21.670 line:15%
And I gave my testimony that when Denise
77
00:03:21.670 --> 00:03:24.880
and I were growing up, we
both grew up in churches
78
00:03:24.880 --> 00:03:27.490
that didn't know it was God's will for us
79
00:03:27.490 --> 00:03:28.540
to be healed and healthy.
80
00:03:28.540 --> 00:03:31.810
We didn't know that. And
in fact, we even believed
81
00:03:31.810 --> 00:03:34.180
that sometimes it was God's
will for us to be sick.
82
00:03:34.180 --> 00:03:37.090
So we just embraced it as
if it was the will of God.
83
00:03:37.090 --> 00:03:39.280
Well, that created an entry point
84
00:03:39.280 --> 00:03:42.460
through which the enemy
entered to make us sick.
85
00:03:42.460 --> 00:03:45.730
But today we're gonna
go to the next reason.
86
00:03:45.730 --> 00:03:50.230 line:15%
And we're gonna see today that
disobedience can open a door.
87
00:03:50.230 --> 00:03:52.450 line:15%
It can create an entry point
88
00:03:52.450 --> 00:03:56.590 line:15%
through which the enemy
can enter to make you sick.
89
00:03:56.590 --> 00:03:58.540 line:15%
And I'm gonna give you some examples,
90
00:03:58.540 --> 00:03:59.680 line:15%
but reach for your Bible
91
00:03:59.680 --> 00:04:02.320 line:15%
because we always use the
Bible in this program.
92
00:04:02.320 --> 00:04:04.930 line:15%
And today I want to remind you of Genesis 2:
93
00:04:04.930 --> 00:04:07.510 line:15%
15, God made the garden of Eden.
94
00:04:07.510 --> 00:04:10.750 line:15%
It was ideal, absolutely perfect.
95
00:04:10.750 --> 00:04:14.110 line:15%
It was full of health, it
was full of prosperity,
96
00:04:14.110 --> 00:04:17.350 line:15%
it was full of everything good.
97
00:04:17.350 --> 00:04:20.620 line:15%
And then God said to Adam,
now it's your job to keep it.
98
00:04:20.620 --> 00:04:23.410 line:15%
And that word keep, which is in Genesis 2:
99
00:04:23.410 --> 00:04:28.300 line:15%
15, means to keep, to guard, to hedge about
100
00:04:28.300 --> 00:04:29.800 line:15%
or to protect.
101
00:04:29.800 --> 00:04:31.240 line:15%
And the only reason you would use
102
00:04:31.240 --> 00:04:34.330
that word is if there
was some sinister force
103
00:04:34.330 --> 00:04:36.160
that was gonna try to get into the garden.
104
00:04:36.160 --> 00:04:39.010 line:15%
So God had forewarned Adam - Adam,
105
00:04:39.010 --> 00:04:40.990 line:15%
I've given you something marvelous.
106
00:04:40.990 --> 00:04:43.030 line:15%
It is your garden. It is your gift.
107
00:04:43.030 --> 00:04:44.650 line:15%
Now your job is to keep it.
108
00:04:44.650 --> 00:04:46.810 line:15%
You've got a guarded,
you've gotta hedge about it.
109
00:04:46.810 --> 00:04:49.240 line:15%
You've gotta protect it
because there's an enemy
110
00:04:49.240 --> 00:04:51.910 line:15%
that's gonna try to get on the inside.
111
00:04:51.910 --> 00:04:56.530 line:15%
And if you disobey me,
you'll create an entry point
112
00:04:56.530 --> 00:04:58.300 line:15%
and he will come flooding in.
113
00:04:58.300 --> 00:05:01.060 line:15%
Well, Adam disobeyed, and
we know what happened.
114
00:05:01.060 --> 00:05:03.190 line:15%
The devil came flooding into the garden
115
00:05:03.190 --> 00:05:05.260 line:15%
and the spirit of death came with him.
116
00:05:05.260 --> 00:05:09.160 line:15%
And suddenly God's beautiful
earth morphed into a world
117
00:05:09.160 --> 00:05:11.080 line:15%
that was filled with thorns and thistles.
118
00:05:11.080 --> 00:05:14.170 line:15%
It became a battlefield where
they had to fight every day
119
00:05:14.170 --> 00:05:16.660 line:15%
for existence and survival
120
00:05:16.660 --> 00:05:20.410
and sickness entered the
earth in that moment.
121
00:05:20.410 --> 00:05:23.170
Before that moment, there was no sickness.
122
00:05:23.170 --> 00:05:25.120
That tells you where sickness comes from.
123
00:05:25.120 --> 00:05:26.230
It comes from the devil,
124
00:05:26.230 --> 00:05:28.180
and it comes from the spirit of death.
125
00:05:28.180 --> 00:05:31.270
But Jesus dethroned death in our lives
126
00:05:31.270 --> 00:05:34.000
because we are the children of God.
127
00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:37.060
And according to 1 John 5:4, today we have a faith
128
00:05:37.060 --> 00:05:39.100
that overcomes the world.
129
00:05:39.100 --> 00:05:42.130
Which means if we will really
nurture ourselves in the word
130
00:05:42.130 --> 00:05:44.980
of God and embrace the authority that's been given to us
131
00:05:44.980 --> 00:05:46.600
and use the name of Jesus
132
00:05:46.600 --> 00:05:49.030
and stand on the promises of God's word,
133
00:05:49.030 --> 00:05:51.340
we can override the spirit of death
134
00:05:51.340 --> 00:05:53.290
that is still working in the world.
135
00:05:53.290 --> 00:05:57.290
We can live above it, we can
overcome it, and that includes
136
00:05:57.290 --> 00:05:58.880
and disease.
137
00:05:58.880 --> 00:06:03.880
But when we come to Isaiah 1:19, the Bible says,
138
00:06:04.250 --> 00:06:05.330 line:15%
If you be willing
139
00:06:05.330 --> 00:06:07.220 line:15%
and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land.
140
00:06:07.220 --> 00:06:08.810 line:15%
Notice it begins with the word, if, so
141
00:06:08.810 --> 00:06:11.840 line:15%
this is conditional. If - if you be willing
142
00:06:11.840 --> 00:06:15.080 line:15%
and obedient, you shall
eat the good of the land.
143
00:06:15.080 --> 00:06:18.380 line:15%
The word eat implies feasting
144
00:06:18.380 --> 00:06:21.470 line:15%
and symbolizes not just a mere meal,
145
00:06:21.470 --> 00:06:24.050 line:15%
but it's an abundant celebration.
146
00:06:24.050 --> 00:06:25.610 line:15%
It is a banquet.
147
00:06:25.610 --> 00:06:28.370 line:15%
And the word good, eat
the good of the land.
148
00:06:28.370 --> 00:06:31.880 line:15%
This word good in Hebrew
gives the image of abundance,
149
00:06:31.880 --> 00:06:36.830 line:15%
blessing, prosperity, the
finest riches one can imagine.
150
00:06:36.830 --> 00:06:41.000 line:15%
It is a term that describes
bounty goods, goodness,
151
00:06:41.000 --> 00:06:43.970 line:15%
good things and prosperity.
152
00:06:43.970 --> 00:06:47.450 line:15%
And here God says, generally
speaking, if you're willing
153
00:06:47.450 --> 00:06:51.650
and if you are obedient, it
will open a door for goodness.
154
00:06:51.650 --> 00:06:54.200
It will open a door for God's blessings
155
00:06:54.200 --> 00:06:55.310
to come into your life.
156
00:06:55.310 --> 00:06:57.530
Now, that doesn't mean
you're gonna be free
157
00:06:57.530 --> 00:06:59.180
of troubles in life.
158
00:06:59.180 --> 00:07:03.110
We deal with the devil. The
devil is at work in the world.
159
00:07:03.110 --> 00:07:06.080
The spirit of death is
in the lost world system
160
00:07:06.080 --> 00:07:08.630
and we have to confront it
and overcome it all the time.
161
00:07:08.630 --> 00:07:11.300
And sometimes the devil
tries to attack us.
162
00:07:11.300 --> 00:07:14.060
We're gonna get to that.
But we are promised here
163
00:07:14.060 --> 00:07:18.440
that if we are obedient, it
opens the door for goodness
164
00:07:18.440 --> 00:07:19.910
to come into our life.
165
00:07:19.910 --> 00:07:21.320
Now, when I say be obedient,
166
00:07:21.320 --> 00:07:23.960
I'm talking about being
obedient to the instructions
167
00:07:23.960 --> 00:07:26.570
of God's word, but also being obedient
168
00:07:26.570 --> 00:07:30.350
to God's personal instructions to us.
169
00:07:30.350 --> 00:07:33.500
We have to stay in a place
of obedience if we want
170
00:07:33.500 --> 00:07:36.740
to experience the good of the land.
171
00:07:36.740 --> 00:07:39.170
In Ephesians 4:27, Paul said -
172
00:07:39.170 --> 00:07:41.870 line:15%
Neither give place to the devil.
173
00:07:41.870 --> 00:07:45.050 line:15%
And that word place is the Greek word, topos.
174
00:07:45.050 --> 00:07:47.030 line:15%
Now remember, we're
talking about entry points
175
00:07:47.030 --> 00:07:49.580
that the devil tries to use to access us.
176
00:07:49.580 --> 00:07:50.750 line:15%
Well, when you come to this verse,
177
00:07:50.750 --> 00:07:51.980
it says, neither give place.
178
00:07:51.980 --> 00:07:55.670
It's talking about an entry
point just as real as any door
179
00:07:55.670 --> 00:07:57.530
or any window that is open.
180
00:07:57.530 --> 00:07:59.480
The devil's looking for a place.
181
00:07:59.480 --> 00:08:03.560
And that Greek word topos,
which is the word, place,
182
00:08:03.560 --> 00:08:07.610 line:15%
signifies a distinct defined
geographical location,
183
00:08:07.610 --> 00:08:11.390 line:15%
is a territory, province,
region, or specific zone.
184
00:08:11.390 --> 00:08:14.810 line:15%
It's where we get the word
for a topographical map,
185
00:08:14.810 --> 00:08:18.350
which means just as real as
any place on the map, just
186
00:08:18.350 --> 00:08:20.870
as real as any open
door or any open window.
187
00:08:20.870 --> 00:08:25.640
The devil's looking for an
open door or an access point.
188
00:08:25.640 --> 00:08:28.070
And that's why we have
to be very careful not
189
00:08:28.070 --> 00:08:29.900
to give one to him.
190
00:08:29.900 --> 00:08:34.490
Jesus said in John 15, speaking of himself,
191
00:08:34.490 --> 00:08:36.230
he was telling the disciples - the prince
192
00:08:36.230 --> 00:08:40.610
of this world is coming to
me, but he has no place in me.
193
00:08:40.610 --> 00:08:44.420
It was the equivalent of saying - every door is closed,
194
00:08:44.420 --> 00:08:45.800
every window is sealed.
195
00:08:45.800 --> 00:08:47.570
There's no cracks in me.
196
00:08:47.570 --> 00:08:49.700
The devil can circle me and circle me
197
00:08:49.700 --> 00:08:51.470
and circle me and circle me.
198
00:08:51.470 --> 00:08:55.290
But he has no access to
me. He has no entry point.
199
00:08:55.290 --> 00:08:57.420
He is wasting his time.
200
00:08:57.420 --> 00:09:01.560 line:15%
And here we find that when
we live a life that is right,
201
00:09:01.560 --> 00:09:05.130 line:15%
and when we're walking in
obedience, it enables us
202
00:09:05.130 --> 00:09:07.740 line:15%
to keep every door closed,
every window sealed,
203
00:09:07.740 --> 00:09:11.340 line:15%
every crack completely sealed tight,
204
00:09:11.340 --> 00:09:15.060
and it prohibits the enemy
from coming into our lives.
205
00:09:15.060 --> 00:09:18.720
And just like Adam was told
to keep the garden, we have
206
00:09:18.720 --> 00:09:22.110
to realize that our lives are
a gift given to us by God,
207
00:09:22.110 --> 00:09:25.110
and God expects us to keep them.
208
00:09:25.110 --> 00:09:28.440
God said to Adam, you keep the garden in
209
00:09:28.440 --> 00:09:29.520 line:15%
New Testament language.
210
00:09:29.520 --> 00:09:33.780
God said to Adam, don't
give place to the devil.
211
00:09:33.780 --> 00:09:37.860
Now the truth is we're more than conquerors through Christ.
212
00:09:37.860 --> 00:09:40.020
If we read that in Romans 8:37,
213
00:09:40.020 --> 00:09:43.170 line:15%
and we know that 1 John 4:4 says - Greater is he
214
00:09:43.170 --> 00:09:45.990 line:15%
that is in you than he that is in the world.
215
00:09:45.990 --> 00:09:48.180 line:15%
And that is absolutely the truth.
216
00:09:48.180 --> 00:09:52.110
But it doesn't change the fact that in Ephesians 4:27,
217
00:09:52.110 --> 00:09:54.810
Paul also said, neither give place,
218
00:09:54.810 --> 00:09:55.950
don't give an entry point.
219
00:09:55.950 --> 00:09:58.320
Don't give access to the devil
220
00:09:58.320 --> 00:10:01.620
because if you give him a place,
221
00:10:01.620 --> 00:10:04.920
just like he did in the beginning, he will take that place
222
00:10:04.920 --> 00:10:06.600
and come raging into your life.
223
00:10:06.600 --> 00:10:09.720
And one way the devil
comes raging into our life,
224
00:10:09.720 --> 00:10:12.840
one of the consequences is
225
00:10:12.840 --> 00:10:15.480
sickness and disease.
226
00:10:15.480 --> 00:10:20.400
Now in 1 Peter 5:8,
227
00:10:20.400 --> 00:10:22.560 line:15%
Peter said - Be sober,
228
00:10:22.560 --> 00:10:26.370 line:15%
be vigilant because your adversary, the devil,
229
00:10:26.370 --> 00:10:30.210 line:15%
as a roaring lion walketh about seeking whom he may devour.
230
00:10:30.210 --> 00:10:34.050 line:15%
That word, vigilant, is the Greek word gregorio.
231
00:10:34.050 --> 00:10:35.130 line:15%
If your name is Greg
232
00:10:35.130 --> 00:10:37.200 line:15%
or Gregory, that's where
your name comes from.
233
00:10:37.200 --> 00:10:39.660 line:15%
And listen to what the
word vigilant means.
234
00:10:39.660 --> 00:10:44.160 line:15%
It portrays one who is
watchful as opposed to someone
235
00:10:44.160 --> 00:10:47.010 line:15%
who is careless and non attentive.
236
00:10:47.010 --> 00:10:49.590 line:15%
It implies giving strict
attention to something
237
00:10:49.590 --> 00:10:53.580 line:15%
or being cautious and on high alert.
238
00:10:53.580 --> 00:10:56.460 line:15%
So when the Bible tells us to be vigilant,
239
00:10:56.460 --> 00:10:59.040
it means there's some
evil force that's trying
240
00:10:59.040 --> 00:11:00.270
to get into our life: that's trying
241
00:11:00.270 --> 00:11:01.320
to get into our business, that's
242
00:11:01.320 --> 00:11:02.430 line:15%
trying to get into our family.
243
00:11:02.430 --> 00:11:05.250
The devil wants to
steal, kill, and destroy,
244
00:11:05.250 --> 00:11:07.980
and he's looking for a way
to get in so he can do it.
245
00:11:07.980 --> 00:11:11.070
And so now Peter says, you
need to be on high alert.
246
00:11:11.070 --> 00:11:13.320
Don't be sleepy. Don't
fall asleep on the job.
247
00:11:13.320 --> 00:11:14.730
You need to be attentive.
248
00:11:14.730 --> 00:11:18.720
You need to be vigilant because your adversary, the devil.
249
00:11:18.720 --> 00:11:22.950 line:15%
And the word adversary, is the Greek word, antidikos.
250
00:11:22.950 --> 00:11:25.920 line:15%
Now, this is very important.
Please listen to this.
251
00:11:25.920 --> 00:11:28.800 line:15%
It describes a prosecuting attorney
252
00:11:28.800 --> 00:11:31.500 line:15%
who argues against the accused.
253
00:11:31.500 --> 00:11:33.000 line:15%
It is a prosecutor
254
00:11:33.000 --> 00:11:37.410 line:15%
who brings a guilty charge
against a person on the basis
255
00:11:37.410 --> 00:11:39.570 line:15%
of information.
256
00:11:40.440 --> 00:11:43.260 line:15%
Now, prosecutor can do nothing to you
257
00:11:43.260 --> 00:11:45.510 line:15%
unless you've done something wrong.
258
00:11:45.510 --> 00:11:47.970
But when a prosecutor has
discovered you've committed a
259
00:11:47.970 --> 00:11:50.790
crime, then he has a charge
to bring against you.
260
00:11:50.790 --> 00:11:54.550
Now he has a way to you down.
261
00:11:54.550 --> 00:11:57.400
He looks for something you've done wrong
262
00:11:57.400 --> 00:12:00.880
and uses it to take you down.
263
00:12:00.880 --> 00:12:04.000
And according to Peter, the
devil works like a prosecutor.
264
00:12:04.000 --> 00:12:07.480
He's watching us. It's why we
need to live upright lives.
265
00:12:07.480 --> 00:12:09.730
It's why we need to live in
obedience to the word of God.
266
00:12:09.730 --> 00:12:13.180
The devil's looking for
any gap, any entry point,
267
00:12:13.180 --> 00:12:16.720
any access point, any area
where we've had a mishap
268
00:12:16.720 --> 00:12:18.910
or we've been disobedient
to the word of God
269
00:12:18.910 --> 00:12:21.040
or to God's personal instructions to us.
270
00:12:21.040 --> 00:12:23.440 line:15%
And when he finds it,
he says, there it is.
271
00:12:23.440 --> 00:12:25.030 line:15%
That's the way I'm gonna get in.
272
00:12:25.030 --> 00:12:28.360
That's the way I'm gonna take them down.
273
00:12:29.740 --> 00:12:33.790
Now, there are many ways we
can open a door to the devil,
274
00:12:33.790 --> 00:12:38.050
but we're specifically focusing on how the devil comes in
275
00:12:38.050 --> 00:12:40.480
to make people sick.
276
00:12:40.480 --> 00:12:42.880
And sometimes people get sick
277
00:12:42.880 --> 00:12:46.180
because they're not living in obedience.
278
00:12:46.180 --> 00:12:48.910
When we stray from God's word,
279
00:12:48.910 --> 00:12:53.740 line:15%
we inadvertently open a door
to adverse circumstances.
280
00:12:53.740 --> 00:12:58.510 line:15%
But beyond not adhering
to God's written word,
281
00:12:58.510 --> 00:13:02.980 line:15%
there are many personal instructions which God speaks to us.
282
00:13:02.980 --> 00:13:05.200
And if we don't fall in line
283
00:13:05.200 --> 00:13:08.290
and obey God's personal instructions,
284
00:13:08.290 --> 00:13:10.780
it can also result in us being sick.
285
00:13:10.780 --> 00:13:13.450
And I'm thinking about
two remarkable men of God.
286
00:13:13.450 --> 00:13:16.300
And by the way, both
of them were prophets.
287
00:13:16.300 --> 00:13:20.860
Both of them and both of
them experienced sickness.
288
00:13:20.860 --> 00:13:24.250
The first man had been
given specific instructions
289
00:13:24.250 --> 00:13:28.390
by the Lord, the focus on a
new aspect of his ministry.
290
00:13:28.390 --> 00:13:30.610
And he didn't want to do
it. He didn't enjoy it,
291
00:13:30.610 --> 00:13:32.410
he didn't feel comfortable with it,
292
00:13:32.410 --> 00:13:35.290
and he just persistently veered away from
293
00:13:35.290 --> 00:13:37.510
what the Lord had instructed him to do.
294
00:13:37.510 --> 00:13:39.370
And lo and behold, he got sick
295
00:13:39.370 --> 00:13:42.130
and was diagnosed with cancer.
296
00:13:42.130 --> 00:13:44.800
And he said to the Lord, what
in the world has happened
297
00:13:44.800 --> 00:13:48.310
to me, me that I have
developed cancer? Here
298
00:13:48.310 --> 00:13:49.630
I'm laying hands on people
299
00:13:49.630 --> 00:13:50.890
and praying for people that are being
300
00:13:50.890 --> 00:13:52.180
healed and I have cancer.
301
00:13:52.180 --> 00:13:55.750
And the Lord spoke to him
and said, you opened a door
302
00:13:55.750 --> 00:13:58.930
because you veered from
what I told you to do.
303
00:13:58.930 --> 00:14:01.930
Your disobedience created this.
304
00:14:01.930 --> 00:14:05.140
The second man was a
nationally known prophet
305
00:14:05.140 --> 00:14:07.450
that has impacted many of our lives.
306
00:14:07.450 --> 00:14:08.590 line:15%
I'm not going to give his name,
307
00:14:08.590 --> 00:14:11.170
but his testimony is amazing.
308
00:14:11.170 --> 00:14:13.660
And lo and behold, here he is a man
309
00:14:13.660 --> 00:14:16.450
who has a spiritual
knack to discern things
310
00:14:16.450 --> 00:14:17.740
that are gonna happen in the future.
311
00:14:17.740 --> 00:14:20.920
And he ends up falling with a broken arm.
312
00:14:20.920 --> 00:14:23.380
And in the hospital he said, Lord,
313
00:14:23.380 --> 00:14:25.540
how in the world did I not perceive
314
00:14:25.540 --> 00:14:27.220
that I was gonna fall and break my arm?
315
00:14:27.220 --> 00:14:29.560
How did this happen to me when I'm
316
00:14:29.560 --> 00:14:31.420
so perceptive about many things?
317
00:14:31.420 --> 00:14:32.800
And the Lord said, it's
318
00:14:32.800 --> 00:14:37.300
because you've been disobedient to my personal instructions
319
00:14:37.300 --> 00:14:38.860
to you.
320
00:14:38.860 --> 00:14:41.740
And it opened a door for sickness.
321
00:14:41.740 --> 00:14:44.620
Well, in the first case,
the man who was diagnosed
322
00:14:44.620 --> 00:14:46.690
with cancer, once he repented
323
00:14:46.690 --> 00:14:48.700
for disobedience, he was healed.
324
00:14:48.700 --> 00:14:50.960
In the second case, the man
325
00:14:50.960 --> 00:14:55.100
who broke his arm when he
repented for being disobedient
326
00:14:55.100 --> 00:14:57.980
to God's personal instructions, within a very short period
327
00:14:57.980 --> 00:15:00.710
of time, he was fully restored.
328
00:15:00.710 --> 00:15:03.320
And here we have two
examples of two prophets.
329
00:15:03.320 --> 00:15:05.780
And when you go to the Old
Testament, we find examples
330
00:15:05.780 --> 00:15:09.530
of kings who were given specific instructions from the Lord,
331
00:15:09.530 --> 00:15:13.820
which they did not obey and
it cut their lives short.
332
00:15:13.820 --> 00:15:15.800
That was not the will of God,
333
00:15:15.800 --> 00:15:18.170
but my friends, we have to
understand the devil's looking
334
00:15:18.170 --> 00:15:19.460
for a way to get in.
335
00:15:19.460 --> 00:15:20.900
And when we're not willing,
336
00:15:20.900 --> 00:15:23.660
and we're not obedient, we don't eat the good of the land.
337
00:15:23.660 --> 00:15:27.110
And in fact, adverse things happen to us.
338
00:15:27.110 --> 00:15:30.500
Now, I'm gonna give you my
own personal testimony about
339
00:15:30.500 --> 00:15:32.870
what happened when I was disobedient.
340
00:15:32.870 --> 00:15:35.540
In 1980, I was living in Fort Smith, Arkansas,
341
00:15:35.540 --> 00:15:37.880
working on the staff of
a big Baptist church.
342
00:15:37.880 --> 00:15:40.340
And in Fort Smith there
was a military base
343
00:15:40.340 --> 00:15:41.480
called Fort Chaffee.
344
00:15:41.480 --> 00:15:46.480
Well, in 1980, Castro in Cuba
did a very cunning thing.
345
00:15:46.550 --> 00:15:49.970
He sent to the United
States what was perceived
346
00:15:49.970 --> 00:15:52.940
to be 125,000 refugees,
347
00:15:52.940 --> 00:15:55.040
when in fact they were
not refugees at all.
348
00:15:55.040 --> 00:15:56.810
He just emptied all of his prisons
349
00:15:56.810 --> 00:15:59.450
and sent all the prisoners
to the United States.
350
00:15:59.450 --> 00:16:01.760
And the United States didn't
realize they were prisoners,
351
00:16:01.760 --> 00:16:03.710
so they just threw open
their arms and received them.
352
00:16:03.710 --> 00:16:06.980
And lo and behold, now
America is inundated
353
00:16:06.980 --> 00:16:11.840
with 125,000 Cuban prisoners,
many of them hardened,
354
00:16:11.840 --> 00:16:12.890
hardened criminals,
355
00:16:12.890 --> 00:16:17.150
and many of them with disease
including tropical diseases.
356
00:16:17.150 --> 00:16:18.890 line:15%
Well, because we lived in Fort Smith
357
00:16:18.890 --> 00:16:20.810 line:15%
and Fort Chaffee was nearby, and
358
00:16:20.810 --> 00:16:22.580 line:15%
because the US government
didn't know what to do
359
00:16:22.580 --> 00:16:24.650 line:15%
with all these prisoners, they begin
360
00:16:24.650 --> 00:16:26.780 line:15%
to put them in army bases across America.
361
00:16:26.780 --> 00:16:29.120 line:15%
And Fort Chaffee was one of the sites
362
00:16:29.120 --> 00:16:31.460 line:15%
where those prisoners begin to come.
363
00:16:31.460 --> 00:16:33.830
And because we lived in Fort Smith
364
00:16:33.830 --> 00:16:35.630
and we believed in the Great Commission,
365
00:16:35.630 --> 00:16:38.720
we just believed it was our
duty to go to Fort Chaffee
366
00:16:38.720 --> 00:16:41.720
and to witness to those
people who had just arrived
367
00:16:41.720 --> 00:16:42.830 line:15%
and preached the gospel.
368
00:16:42.830 --> 00:16:46.250
So myself, along with
others from our church,
369
00:16:46.250 --> 00:16:49.490
we were regularly going to Fort Chaffee
370
00:16:49.490 --> 00:16:51.050
to preach the gospel.
371
00:16:51.050 --> 00:16:52.460
And it was during that time
372
00:16:52.460 --> 00:16:55.550
that I became very strangely ill,
373
00:16:55.550 --> 00:16:57.620
I mean really strangely ill.
374
00:16:57.620 --> 00:16:59.660
And it was a sickness that lingered
375
00:16:59.660 --> 00:17:00.860
and lingered and lingered.
376
00:17:00.860 --> 00:17:04.310
And finally one day I
woke up in the morning
377
00:17:04.310 --> 00:17:06.200
and I looked in the mirror.
378
00:17:06.200 --> 00:17:07.850
And when I looked in the mirror,
379
00:17:07.850 --> 00:17:09.830 line:15%
I couldn't even recognize that it was me.
380
00:17:09.830 --> 00:17:12.440
It looked like my entire
face had been burned.
381
00:17:12.440 --> 00:17:15.560
I had wrinkles that made me
look like I was an elderly man.
382
00:17:15.560 --> 00:17:19.280
And when I looked at my
hands, the fever that I had
383
00:17:19.280 --> 00:17:21.200
that night was so intense
384
00:17:21.200 --> 00:17:24.200
that all the skin on my hands had peeled
385
00:17:24.200 --> 00:17:26.060
off during the night.
386
00:17:26.060 --> 00:17:27.890
So I quickly rushed to the hospital,
387
00:17:27.890 --> 00:17:29.750
and when I walked into the emergency room,
388
00:17:29.750 --> 00:17:31.370
they looked at me in shock.
389
00:17:31.370 --> 00:17:33.530
And within minutes, I was admitted
390
00:17:33.530 --> 00:17:36.050
to the hospital surrounded
by a sea of doctors
391
00:17:36.050 --> 00:17:39.200
and nurses trying to diagnose
what was wrong with me.
392
00:17:39.200 --> 00:17:44.030 line:15%
And they said, Rick, you
have a tropical fever
393
00:17:44.030 --> 00:17:46.400
that doesn't even exist
in the United States.
394
00:17:46.400 --> 00:17:49.290
Well, I knew I picked it up at Fort Chaffee,
395
00:17:49.290 --> 00:17:51.780
and laying there in my bed, I said, Lord,
396
00:17:51.780 --> 00:17:53.490
how did this happen to me?
397
00:17:53.490 --> 00:17:56.550 line:15%
Here I am serving you, walking in faith,
398
00:17:56.550 --> 00:18:00.660 line:15%
embracing the promises that healing and health belongs to me
399
00:18:00.660 --> 00:18:03.030 line:15%
because of the work of the
cross and the resurrection.
400
00:18:03.030 --> 00:18:07.500 line:15%
So how did this happen to me? And the Holy Spirit quietly
401
00:18:07.500 --> 00:18:11.010 line:15%
and very kindly said, Rick,
402
00:18:11.010 --> 00:18:12.750 line:15%
you've been living in disobedience.
403
00:18:12.750 --> 00:18:16.440
I said, what? What do
you mean disobedience?
404
00:18:16.440 --> 00:18:18.750
I'm obeying you. I'm
preaching. I'm serving here.
405
00:18:18.750 --> 00:18:20.760
I'm going to Fort Chaffee to minister
406
00:18:20.760 --> 00:18:23.520
to all these new Cuban refugees.
407
00:18:23.520 --> 00:18:26.040
How am I being disobedient?
408
00:18:26.040 --> 00:18:29.790
And the Holy Spirit said, here it is.
409
00:18:30.660 --> 00:18:33.780
I told you to marry Denise Roberson
410
00:18:33.780 --> 00:18:37.020
and you have persistently disobeyed me.
411
00:18:38.460 --> 00:18:39.600
Well, that was the truth.
412
00:18:39.600 --> 00:18:41.160
I knew I was supposed to marry Denise,
413
00:18:41.160 --> 00:18:44.250
but I was terrified of
the subject of marriage.
414
00:18:44.250 --> 00:18:47.550
So I kept walking away from
it, walking away from it.
415
00:18:47.550 --> 00:18:51.360
And the Lord said, it is
your personal disobedience
416
00:18:51.360 --> 00:18:55.530
that has opened the door for
the devil to come raging in
417
00:18:55.530 --> 00:18:58.050
to afflict you with this tropical disease,
418
00:18:58.050 --> 00:19:00.210
which didn't even exist in the state
419
00:19:00.210 --> 00:19:01.860
of Arkansas where I was living.
420
00:19:01.860 --> 00:19:03.330
How in the world did this happen?
421
00:19:04.260 --> 00:19:05.970
When the Holy Spirit told me it was my
422
00:19:05.970 --> 00:19:08.250
disobedience that opened the door -
423
00:19:08.250 --> 00:19:11.190
No.1 - I repented. No.2: I picked up the phone.
424
00:19:11.190 --> 00:19:14.940
I called Denise, and
immediately I began to nurture
425
00:19:14.940 --> 00:19:16.170
that relationship.
426
00:19:16.170 --> 00:19:19.620
And within a very short...time we were married,
427
00:19:19.620 --> 00:19:23.220
I closed the door to that attack.
428
00:19:23.220 --> 00:19:27.480
Now we have an amazing verse in James 4:
429
00:19:27.480 --> 00:19:30.990 line:15%
7, which says - Submit yourselves therefore to God.
430
00:19:30.990 --> 00:19:34.530 line:15%
Resist the devil and he will flee from you.
431
00:19:34.530 --> 00:19:36.360
Most people just jump right to the part
432
00:19:36.360 --> 00:19:37.770 line:15%
of the verse which says, resist the
433
00:19:37.770 --> 00:19:38.880
devil and he'll flee from you.
434
00:19:38.880 --> 00:19:41.460
But the first part says, submit.
435
00:19:41.460 --> 00:19:42.990
And that word submit means
436
00:19:42.990 --> 00:19:45.810
to align yourself properly
under the authority
437
00:19:45.810 --> 00:19:47.520
of God to obey him.
438
00:19:47.520 --> 00:19:50.640
And the word submit also
describes someone who hides
439
00:19:50.640 --> 00:19:52.290
behind somebody else's back.
440
00:19:52.290 --> 00:19:55.050
And here we find that when
we submit to God's authority
441
00:19:55.050 --> 00:19:57.570
and when we submit to his
written word into his personal
442
00:19:57.570 --> 00:20:01.440
instructions, we align our
ourself under his authority
443
00:20:01.440 --> 00:20:03.690
and suddenly we stand behind him.
444
00:20:03.690 --> 00:20:05.880
He's a lot bigger than we are.
445
00:20:05.880 --> 00:20:08.850
And when we're submitted to him, then we have the authority
446
00:20:08.850 --> 00:20:10.950
to resist the devil.
447
00:20:10.950 --> 00:20:12.390
And James 4:7 says,
448
00:20:12.390 --> 00:20:14.850
he will flee from you and the word flee -
449
00:20:14.850 --> 00:20:17.760 line:15%
listen to this - the Greek word pheugo, means to flee,
450
00:20:17.760 --> 00:20:21.390 line:15%
to take flight, to run away,
to move one's feet as fast
451
00:20:21.390 --> 00:20:24.300 line:15%
as possible or to escape.
452
00:20:24.300 --> 00:20:27.990 line:15%
It pictures someone's feet
barely touching the ground
453
00:20:27.990 --> 00:20:29.820 line:15%
as he flees from danger.
454
00:20:31.350 --> 00:20:33.720
And if you've discovered
that you have any area
455
00:20:33.720 --> 00:20:37.110
of disobedience in your life,
it's better for you to say,
456
00:20:37.110 --> 00:20:39.330
Lord, I'm sorry I am wrong.
457
00:20:39.330 --> 00:20:40.890
I'm submitting myself to you.
458
00:20:40.890 --> 00:20:44.820
I'm getting back in alignment
under your authority.
459
00:20:44.820 --> 00:20:47.080
I'm gonna do what you've told me to do.
460
00:20:47.080 --> 00:20:49.960
And when you were in that
position, suddenly you have power
461
00:20:49.960 --> 00:20:54.910
to resist that sickness,
to resist that affliction
462
00:20:54.910 --> 00:20:56.230
and it will flee from you.
463
00:20:56.230 --> 00:20:57.970
That is the promise of scripture.
464
00:20:57.970 --> 00:21:01.390
But it might be that there's an area
465
00:21:01.390 --> 00:21:04.180
of disobedience in your life
that has opened the door
466
00:21:04.180 --> 00:21:07.900
for an attack of sickness or a bout of disease.
467
00:21:07.900 --> 00:21:10.690
Now that may not be the
reason, but it might be.
468
00:21:10.690 --> 00:21:13.630
And so it's worth taking a look at it.
469
00:21:13.630 --> 00:21:16.600
But when we come back tomorrow,
470
00:21:16.600 --> 00:21:19.583
we're gonna see another open door is -
471
00:21:19.583 --> 00:21:21.099
are you ready for this -
472
00:21:21.099 --> 00:21:23.335 line:15%
foolishness?
473
00:21:23.335 --> 00:21:26.440
Ay...be sure to see tomorrow's episode
474
00:21:26.440 --> 00:21:28.120 line:15%
because it will help you.
475
00:21:28.120 --> 00:21:30.460 line:15%
You might say, oh me, oh my.
476
00:21:30.460 --> 00:21:33.400 line:15%
Because it really confronts everyone about
477
00:21:33.400 --> 00:21:37.960 line:15%
how we inadvertently through acts of foolishness, open doors
478
00:21:37.960 --> 00:21:42.130 line:15%
for the devil to get in and
to rob us of the healing
479
00:21:42.130 --> 00:21:47.130 line:15%
and health that really was purchased by Jesus on the cross.
480
00:21:47.200 --> 00:21:49.930 line:15%
I'll be back in just a moment
and I'm going to pray for you.
481
00:21:58.390 --> 00:22:00.640 line:15%
Someone has asked - Brother Rick, what do you do
482
00:22:00.640 --> 00:22:04.690 line:15%
with your doubts when you don't see answers to your prayers?
483
00:22:04.690 --> 00:22:07.630 line:15%
Well, first of all, I know I'm going to see a result.
484
00:22:07.630 --> 00:22:09.820
Maybe I haven't seen it yet,
485
00:22:09.820 --> 00:22:12.520
but we're told in 1 John 5:14
486
00:22:12.520 --> 00:22:16.960 line:15%
& 15, that if we pray anything according to God's will,
487
00:22:16.960 --> 00:22:18.970 line:15%
that means according to the Bible.
488
00:22:18.970 --> 00:22:21.130 line:15%
So you've gotta pray scripturally.
489
00:22:21.130 --> 00:22:22.510 line:15%
You gotta pray in agreement
490
00:22:22.510 --> 00:22:23.980 line:15%
with what's written in the Word of God.
491
00:22:23.980 --> 00:22:28.480 line:15%
If any man pray according to
his will, it says He hears us,
492
00:22:28.480 --> 00:22:31.480 line:15%
which means God doesn't
hear us because we're crying
493
00:22:31.480 --> 00:22:34.060 line:15%
or he doesn't hear us
because of our intensity.
494
00:22:34.060 --> 00:22:35.920 line:15%
When we speak the word of God in prayer,
495
00:22:35.920 --> 00:22:38.140 line:15%
it opens the ears of God.
496
00:22:38.140 --> 00:22:41.140 line:15%
If we pray anything according
to his will, he hears us.
497
00:22:41.140 --> 00:22:43.570 line:15%
The Bible says that it goes on to say,
498
00:22:43.570 --> 00:22:47.560 line:15%
and if he hears us, then we
know we have the petitions
499
00:22:47.560 --> 00:22:49.060 line:15%
that we ask of him.
500
00:22:49.060 --> 00:22:50.590 line:15%
And if you'll just stay in faith
501
00:22:50.590 --> 00:22:53.530 line:15%
and keep speaking the word,
you've got the guarantee
502
00:22:53.530 --> 00:22:55.060
that God will hear you
503
00:22:55.060 --> 00:22:58.210
and God will do what needs to be done.
504
00:22:58.210 --> 00:23:01.300 line:15%
The devil is looking for
a way to access your life.

shut, he will find a way in,

Proverbs 10:21 says, The lips of the righteous feed many,
536
00:24:27.890 --> 00:24:29.570 line:15%
and that verse is mine.
537
00:24:29.570 --> 00:24:33.170 line:15%
I know that God has called
me to teach the word of God
538
00:24:33.170 --> 00:24:35.270 line:15%
to people all over the world.
539
00:24:35.270 --> 00:24:38.390
And my friends, there are
people crying out for somebody
540
00:24:38.390 --> 00:24:41.930
to bring them the trusted
teaching of the Bible.
541
00:24:41.930 --> 00:24:45.260
And I know that is my
God-given assignment,
542
00:24:45.260 --> 00:24:47.480
and I'm able to do it
because of the anointing
543
00:24:47.480 --> 00:24:48.950
and the grace of God.
544
00:24:48.950 --> 00:24:50.720
And because of partners
545
00:24:50.720 --> 00:24:53.600
who sow their resources
into this ministry,
546
00:24:53.600 --> 00:24:55.520
they put the fuel in the tank
547
00:24:55.520 --> 00:24:59.090
so we can get the trusted teaching of the Bible to people
548
00:24:59.090 --> 00:25:00.770
around the planet.
549
00:25:00.770 --> 00:25:03.890
And I want to ask you today, if you are not a partner
550
00:25:03.890 --> 00:25:04.940 line:15%
with our ministry yet,
551
00:25:04.940 --> 00:25:07.010 line:15%
would you please pray
about becoming a partner,
552
00:25:07.010 --> 00:25:08.720 line:15%
become a part of our Giving Team
553
00:25:08.720 --> 00:25:12.110 line:15%
and a part of our family,
working with me and my wife,
554
00:25:12.110 --> 00:25:16.250 line:15%
and my family, and our team as
we take the trusted teaching
555
00:25:16.250 --> 00:25:21.170 line:15%
of the Bible to people around
the world, we really need you.
556
00:25:21.170 --> 00:25:23.120 line:15%
And the moment you become
a partner, we're going
557
00:25:23.120 --> 00:25:26.510 line:15%
to send you my book called
Life in the Combat Zone,
558
00:25:26.510 --> 00:25:29.240 line:15%
because this is always
a gift we give to those
559
00:25:29.240 --> 00:25:31.880 line:15%
who become a part of our partner family.
560
00:25:31.880 --> 00:25:33.590 line:15%
But I invite you to join us,
561
00:25:33.590 --> 00:25:36.140 line:15%
and I thank you in advance for helping us
562
00:25:36.140 --> 00:25:39.470 line:15%
to take the trusted teaching
of the Bible to people
563
00:25:39.470 --> 00:25:40.490 line:15%
around the world.
564
00:25:44.000 --> 00:25:46.070
We have covered a lot of material today
565
00:25:46.070 --> 00:25:49.700 line:15%
as I've been teaching entry points, how
566
00:25:49.700 --> 00:25:53.600 line:15%
to stop the Devil from
attacking you with sickness.
567
00:25:53.600 --> 00:25:56.540 line:15%
You can put up a barricade,
you can stop him,
568
00:25:56.540 --> 00:26:00.950 line:15%
you can close every door
so he no longer access you
569
00:26:00.950 --> 00:26:03.710 line:15%
with sickness, illness, and disease.
570
00:26:03.710 --> 00:26:06.290 line:15%
This comes with a great study guide,
571
00:26:06.290 --> 00:26:10.520 line:15%
and I'm really excited about
my first book on healing.
572
00:26:10.520 --> 00:26:13.460 line:15%
And all these years I've
never written a book just
573
00:26:13.460 --> 00:26:14.570 line:15%
dedicated to healing.
574
00:26:14.570 --> 00:26:16.190 line:15%
And finally I did.
575
00:26:16.190 --> 00:26:19.340 line:15%
And it's called Everything You
Need to Know about Healing.
576
00:26:19.340 --> 00:26:21.320 line:15%
It is so comprehensive.
577
00:26:21.320 --> 00:26:23.300 line:15%
I've written this book in a way
578
00:26:23.300 --> 00:26:26.510 line:15%
that I believe is gonna really
help you very practically
579
00:26:26.510 --> 00:26:28.220 line:15%
walk into the healing
580
00:26:28.220 --> 00:26:32.570 line:15%
and health that Jesus purchased for you on the cross.
581
00:26:32.570 --> 00:26:34.640 line:15%
And there's a book that
has really touched my life.
582
00:26:34.640 --> 00:26:36.620 line:15%
I believe it will touch yours as well,
583
00:26:36.620 --> 00:26:38.840 line:15%
called, There's a Light at the End of Your Tunnel,
584
00:26:38.840 --> 00:26:41.450 line:15%
the testimony of Michael Clark about
585
00:26:41.450 --> 00:26:45.540 line:15%
how he walked from a diagnosis
of cancer into healing.
586
00:26:45.540 --> 00:26:47.460 line:15%
And it's just so helpful.
587
00:26:47.460 --> 00:26:48.960 line:15%
I know it would be a blessing to you
588
00:26:48.960 --> 00:26:51.390 line:15%
and to many other people,
but either go online
589
00:26:51.390 --> 00:26:53.880 line:15%
or give us a call to
find out more about all
590
00:26:53.880 --> 00:26:55.740 line:15%
of these wonderful resources.
591
00:26:55.740 --> 00:26:58.770 line:15%
And please let us know
how to pray for you.
592
00:26:58.770 --> 00:27:00.300 line:15%
We're praying for you anyhow,
593
00:27:00.300 --> 00:27:01.560 line:15%
but when you let us know how to pray,
594
00:27:01.560 --> 00:27:03.330 line:15%
we're gonna do a better job.
595
00:27:03.330 --> 00:27:05.670 line:15%
But Father, we thank you in
the name of Jesus that healing
596
00:27:05.670 --> 00:27:07.740 line:15%
and health belongs to us.
597
00:27:07.740 --> 00:27:11.100 line:15%
Help us to walk in obedience - not disobedience -
598
00:27:11.100 --> 00:27:16.100 line:15%
and to close every door to the
devil in Jesus' name - Amen.
599
00:27:16.260 --> 00:27:17.310 line:15%
Until the next program.
600
00:27:17.310 --> 00:27:20.550 line:15%
Remember, Ecclesiastes 8:4 says, "Where the word
601
00:27:20.550 --> 00:27:23.790 line:15%
of the king is there is power."
602
00:27:23.790 --> 00:27:26.040
If you've never received
Jesus as your Savior
603
00:27:26.040 --> 00:27:30.420 line:15%
and Lord, now is the time for
you to experience a new life
604
00:27:30.420 --> 00:27:32.610 line:15%
Jesus has to give you.
605
00:27:32.610 --> 00:27:36.690 line:15%
Pray this prayer with me right now - Lord,
606
00:27:36.690 --> 00:27:40.680 line:15%
I repent of my sin and receive you as my Savior
607
00:27:40.680 --> 00:27:43.650 line:15%
and Lord. Wash away my sin
608
00:27:43.650 --> 00:27:46.680 line:15%
and make me completely new.
609
00:27:46.680 --> 00:27:50.460 line:15%
I thank you that my sin is removed
610
00:27:50.460 --> 00:27:55.200 line:15%
and Satan no longer has any
right to lay claim on me.
611
00:27:56.040 --> 00:28:00.030 line:15%
I faithfully promise that
I will serve you as my Lord
612
00:28:00.030 --> 00:28:01.680 line:15%
for the rest of my life -
613
00:28:02.760 --> 00:28:03.760 line:15%
Amen.
614
00:28:04.800 --> 00:28:07.530 line:15%
If you just prayed the
prayer of salvation with us,
