00:00:01.320 --> 00:00:03.840 line:15%
This program is made
possible by the giving
2
00:00:03.840 --> 00:00:07.800 line:15%
of the God called partners
of Renner Ministries.
3
00:00:07.800 --> 00:00:09.060 line:15%
Hey, this is Rick Renner.
4
00:00:09.060 --> 00:00:11.760 line:15%
Thanks for letting me come
right into your space.
5
00:00:11.760 --> 00:00:13.470 line:15%
And today I am bringing a friend with me.
6
00:00:13.470 --> 00:00:16.290
Last week, Fred Price was with us,
7
00:00:16.290 --> 00:00:18.900
and I asked him to be with
us once again this week
8
00:00:18.900 --> 00:00:23.400 line:15%
as we discuss his book, which
is called Behind the Scene.
9
00:00:23.400 --> 00:00:26.010 line:15%
That book is totally amazing.
10
00:00:26.010 --> 00:00:30.210 line:15%
It really fed me, and I know that it would feed you as well.
11
00:00:30.210 --> 00:00:32.610 line:15%
And we're doing this 10 part series with 5
12
00:00:32.610 --> 00:00:35.760 line:15%
of my young friends that are
really called and anointed.
13
00:00:35.760 --> 00:00:39.330 line:15%
And the series is called - A Prophetic View of the Future.
14
00:00:39.330 --> 00:00:43.470 line:15%
We need to know what God
is saying about our times
15
00:00:43.470 --> 00:00:45.180 line:15%
and what's going to happen between now
16
00:00:45.180 --> 00:00:47.220 line:15%
and the rapture of the church.
17
00:00:47.220 --> 00:00:50.190 line:15%
And that's why this series
is called A Prophetic View
18
00:00:50.190 --> 00:00:51.720 line:15%
of the Future.
19
00:00:51.720 --> 00:00:53.850 line:15%
But if you want to know
more about these resources,
20
00:00:53.850 --> 00:00:56.340 line:15%
just go online or give us a call.
21
00:00:56.340 --> 00:00:58.140 line:15%
And hey, if you're gonna call us,
22
00:00:58.140 --> 00:00:59.550 line:15%
let us know how to pray for you.
23
00:00:59.550 --> 00:01:01.500 line:15%
Or if you wish, send us an email.
24
00:01:01.500 --> 00:01:04.350 line:15%
And when we hear from you,
we're gonna pray for you.
25
00:01:04.350 --> 00:01:07.830 line:15%
But right now, let's join Brother Fred.
26
00:01:07.830 --> 00:01:11.040 line:15%
Get ready for a teaching
that feeds your spirit
27
00:01:11.040 --> 00:01:14.610 line:15%
and your mind where the
word is the anchor in
28
00:01:14.610 --> 00:01:16.560 line:15%
uncertain times
29
00:01:16.560 --> 00:01:19.860 line:15%
and doctrine doesn't bend to culture.
30
00:01:19.860 --> 00:01:21.300 line:15%
We keep it simple,
31
00:01:21.300 --> 00:01:26.300
but dive deep revealing a
truth that strengthens us,
32
00:01:26.730 --> 00:01:28.650 line:15%
a love that emboldens,
33
00:01:29.760 --> 00:01:31.890 line:15%
and a mission that touches the world.
34
00:01:34.260 --> 00:01:35.760 line:15%
Let's join Rick Renner.
35
00:01:38.160 --> 00:01:40.590
As I told you in the
introduction today, I am
36
00:01:40.590 --> 00:01:44.070 line:15%
with Pastor Fred Price,
who is the senior pastor
37
00:01:44.070 --> 00:01:47.070 line:15%
of the Crenshaw Christian
Center in Southern California.
38
00:01:47.070 --> 00:01:49.950 line:15%
His father was Frederick K.C. Price,
39
00:01:49.950 --> 00:01:53.850 line:15%
who I heard the first time when I was 14 years old.
40
00:01:53.850 --> 00:01:56.100 line:15%
Pastor Fred wasn't even born then.
41
00:01:56.100 --> 00:01:58.620
I heard his dad give a riveting testimony.
42
00:01:58.620 --> 00:02:00.780
I can remember it like it was today.
43
00:02:00.780 --> 00:02:04.770
And really, the Price family is a legendary family of faith.
44
00:02:04.770 --> 00:02:07.380
And I love Pastor Fred Price,
45
00:02:07.380 --> 00:02:10.050
and I wanna say welcome to my program.
46
00:02:10.920 --> 00:02:12.000 line:15%
I love you too, Rick,
47
00:02:12.000 --> 00:02:14.370
and it is an honor to be on this program.
48
00:02:14.370 --> 00:02:16.350 line:15%
Well, last week you were also with me
49
00:02:16.350 --> 00:02:18.900 line:15%
and we talked about the Nephilim things happening
50
00:02:18.900 --> 00:02:21.210 line:15%
before the flood that
are gonna be replicated
51
00:02:21.210 --> 00:02:22.290 line:15%
at the very end of the age.
52
00:02:22.290 --> 00:02:24.750 line:15%
But today I wanna dive into another
53
00:02:24.750 --> 00:02:25.860 line:15%
part of your amazing book.
54
00:02:25.860 --> 00:02:27.180 line:15%
Now, your book is called Behind the
55
00:02:27.180 --> 00:02:29.250 line:15%
Seen, which is brilliant.
56
00:02:29.250 --> 00:02:32.790 line:15%
It's not - behind the scenes -
it's Behind The Seen,
57
00:02:32.790 --> 00:02:35.190 line:15%
behind what is seen with the eyes.
58
00:02:35.190 --> 00:02:36.570 line:15%
It's the invisible realm.
59
00:02:36.570 --> 00:02:41.070 line:15%
And I think probably you document the unseen realm better
60
00:02:41.070 --> 00:02:42.720 line:15%
than any book I have ever read.
61
00:02:42.720 --> 00:02:45.960 line:15%
I love this book. I wish
everybody had this book.
62
00:02:45.960 --> 00:02:47.220 line:15%
Whether you agree with all of it
63
00:02:47.220 --> 00:02:49.500 line:15%
or not, it's going to open your eyes
64
00:02:49.500 --> 00:02:51.870 line:15%
and make you think in a new way.
65
00:02:51.870 --> 00:02:53.490 line:15%
And that's always healthy for us.
66
00:02:53.490 --> 00:02:56.190 line:15%
And I found this book to be wonderful.
67
00:02:56.190 --> 00:02:59.950 line:15%
But in this book, you talk
about how Satan is the prince
68
00:02:59.950 --> 00:03:00.970 line:15%
of the power of the air.
69
00:03:00.970 --> 00:03:03.310
Jesus called him the God of this world.
70
00:03:03.310 --> 00:03:06.880 line:15%
And the word world in
Greek is the word kosmos.
71
00:03:06.880 --> 00:03:08.350 line:15%
It doesn't mean the planet,
72
00:03:08.350 --> 00:03:09.670 line:15%
the word planet would be the word gazes.
73
00:03:10.630 --> 00:03:13.960 line:15%
The word world that Jesus used is kosmos.
74
00:03:13.960 --> 00:03:17.050 line:15%
He describes the world systems, he works
75
00:03:17.050 --> 00:03:19.420 line:15%
through the government, he works through education, he works
76
00:03:19.420 --> 00:03:22.000 line:15%
through the system, is
really what it means.
77
00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:25.150
That's the area where
Satan has authority, is
78
00:03:25.150 --> 00:03:28.870
through world systems, the
bankrupt system of the world.
79
00:03:28.870 --> 00:03:32.800
And the Bible teaches that
as we get closer to the end,
80
00:03:32.800 --> 00:03:35.170
it's gonna get darker and
darker and darker and darker.
81
00:03:35.170 --> 00:03:36.970
And so I wanna ask you,
82
00:03:37.900 --> 00:03:39.820
what does the Bible mean
when it calls him the God
83
00:03:39.820 --> 00:03:41.560 line:15%
of this world, the prince
of the power of the air,
84
00:03:41.560 --> 00:03:43.540 line:15%
and what should we expect to see?
85
00:03:43.540 --> 00:03:45.280 line:15%
And I'm not trying to
scare people, I'm trying
86
00:03:45.280 --> 00:03:46.720 line:15%
to prepare people.
87
00:03:46.720 --> 00:03:48.910 line:15%
God's not in the business of scaring,
88
00:03:48.910 --> 00:03:51.430 line:15%
but he is in the business
of equipping and preparing.
89
00:03:51.430 --> 00:03:53.410 line:15%
So help us Pastor Fred.
90
00:03:53.410 --> 00:03:57.970 line:15%
Absolutely. Well, like you
mentioned, he is influential
91
00:03:57.970 --> 00:04:02.020 line:15%
and influencing all of the time, the systems of the world.
92
00:04:02.020 --> 00:04:03.220 line:15%
And one system
93
00:04:04.060 --> 00:04:07.480 line:15%
that I really focus on in my book is the
94
00:04:07.480 --> 00:04:09.220 line:15%
entertainment industry.
95
00:04:10.180 --> 00:04:12.970 line:15%
And that's the music, that's the movies,
96
00:04:12.970 --> 00:04:17.890 line:15%
that's the TV shows, even even books.
97
00:04:17.890 --> 00:04:22.360 line:15%
And I didn't write this book to tell people what not
98
00:04:22.360 --> 00:04:25.690 line:15%
to do, what they can't
see, what they can't watch.
99
00:04:25.690 --> 00:04:28.510 line:15%
I mean, we, we do have the
Holy Spirit on the inside
100
00:04:28.510 --> 00:04:30.220 line:15%
of us, or we should.
101
00:04:30.220 --> 00:04:33.370 line:15%
And you know, if we're,
if we're led by him
102
00:04:33.370 --> 00:04:35.650 line:15%
and we're living a spirit led life, then,
103
00:04:35.650 --> 00:04:39.400 line:15%
then I think we would know
what we shouldn't touch on,
104
00:04:39.400 --> 00:04:41.770 line:15%
what we shouldn't encounter or engage.
105
00:04:41.770 --> 00:04:44.050 line:15%
Jesus did say, be careful what you hear
106
00:04:44.050 --> 00:04:45.490 line:15%
and be careful how you hear.
107
00:04:45.490 --> 00:04:48.040 line:15%
So we need to be cautious all of the time.
108
00:04:48.040 --> 00:04:50.500 line:15%
But there were just some
observations that I,
109
00:04:50.500 --> 00:04:52.360 line:15%
I've been making for quite some time,
110
00:04:52.360 --> 00:04:55.300 line:15%
and I wanted to write about
'em in this book again,
111
00:04:55.300 --> 00:04:58.000 line:15%
specifically the the entertainment system
112
00:04:58.000 --> 00:05:01.390 line:15%
or the entertainment
realm of the world and,
113
00:05:01.390 --> 00:05:02.740 line:15%
and the great influence
114
00:05:02.740 --> 00:05:06.220 line:15%
that the adversary has over these systems.
115
00:05:06.220 --> 00:05:09.820 line:15%
You know, Rick, today we
live in a time where, I mean,
116
00:05:09.820 --> 00:05:14.440 line:15%
it's just common entertainment to read about and
117
00:05:14.440 --> 00:05:17.830 line:15%
see vampires and werewolves
118
00:05:17.830 --> 00:05:20.440 line:15%
and witches, witchcraft.
119
00:05:20.440 --> 00:05:24.130 line:15%
And in these fictional
settings, I mean, you've got,
120
00:05:24.130 --> 00:05:26.920 line:15%
you've got good vampires,
you've got evil vampires,
121
00:05:26.920 --> 00:05:30.100 line:15%
you've got good witches and
good wizards and evil witches
122
00:05:30.100 --> 00:05:31.475 line:15%
and evil wizards.
123
00:05:31.475 --> 00:05:34.210 line:15%
And and there was a time when
that that wasn't the case.
124
00:05:35.050 --> 00:05:39.880 line:15%
And of course, I see it
as a way for the, the,
125
00:05:39.880 --> 00:05:43.510 line:15%
the adversary to lower the guards of peoples and,
126
00:05:43.510 --> 00:05:45.010 line:15%
and specifically children.
127
00:05:45.010 --> 00:05:48.610 line:15%
Again, not saying well, one
should or shouldn't watch
128
00:05:48.610 --> 00:05:50.350 line:15%
or should or shouldn't read,
129
00:05:50.350 --> 00:05:54.430 line:15%
but we....live in a world now
130
00:05:54.430 --> 00:05:58.340 line:15%
where some of the entertainment content that we have access
131
00:05:58.340 --> 00:06:01.640 line:15%
to, glorifies divination.
132
00:06:01.640 --> 00:06:03.200 line:15%
You know, Pastor Fred,
133
00:06:03.200 --> 00:06:04.610 line:15%
I was just thinking while you're speaking
134
00:06:04.610 --> 00:06:07.610 line:15%
that when I was a child, we
watched I Dream of Genie,
135
00:06:07.610 --> 00:06:08.630 line:15%
which is about a genie,
136
00:06:09.530 --> 00:06:13.190 line:15%
and we watched Bewitched,
I watched Bewitch every day
137
00:06:13.190 --> 00:06:15.920 line:15%
of the week after school
and just loved it.
138
00:06:15.920 --> 00:06:18.830 line:15%
And it began very innocently,
it began as comedy.
139
00:06:18.830 --> 00:06:22.640
But we've come a long,
long ways from Bewitched
140
00:06:22.640 --> 00:06:23.990
and I dream of Jeanie.
141
00:06:23.990 --> 00:06:26.150
And I was just flipping through the pages of this book.
142
00:06:26.150 --> 00:06:27.830 line:15%
Again, I'm amazed at
143
00:06:27.830 --> 00:06:30.380
what you have documented in this book about all the various
144
00:06:30.380 --> 00:06:35.380
forms of entertainment,
cartoons, even comic books,
145
00:06:35.660 --> 00:06:40.190
games, video games that
have all been infiltrated
146
00:06:40.190 --> 00:06:43.940
with really demonic things. Yeah. Wow.
147
00:06:43.940 --> 00:06:48.320 line:15%
Yeah. And I believe that
it is a way for the adversary
148
00:06:48.320 --> 00:06:50.990 line:15%
to make his agenda palatable.
149
00:06:50.990 --> 00:06:55.250 line:15%
And not everyone has discernment.
150
00:06:55.250 --> 00:06:57.770 line:15%
Well, first off, not everyone is saved.
151
00:06:57.770 --> 00:06:59.930 line:15%
So they're not born of the spirit.
152
00:06:59.930 --> 00:07:01.130 line:15%
They're not filled with the spirit.
153
00:07:01.130 --> 00:07:02.630 line:15%
But even those who are born of the spirit
154
00:07:02.630 --> 00:07:04.160 line:15%
and filled with the spirit,
155
00:07:04.160 --> 00:07:07.670 line:15%
their discernment radars may not be, you know, working
156
00:07:07.670 --> 00:07:09.320 line:15%
at maximum level.
157
00:07:09.320 --> 00:07:11.990 line:15%
And so there's just some
subtle ways that the,
158
00:07:11.990 --> 00:07:14.330 line:15%
the adversary can just creep in
159
00:07:14.330 --> 00:07:17.540 line:15%
and kind of plant his, his, his agenda.
160
00:07:17.540 --> 00:07:22.400 line:15%
He, he can, he can influence,
you know, not control,
161
00:07:22.400 --> 00:07:26.960 line:15%
but he can, he can
influence greatly a variety
162
00:07:26.960 --> 00:07:30.110 line:15%
of levels, again, based
on many of the content.
163
00:07:30.110 --> 00:07:31.280 line:15%
I mean, and some of this is content.
164
00:07:31.280 --> 00:07:33.320 line:15%
I mean, I grew up on comic books.
165
00:07:33.320 --> 00:07:36.590 line:15%
I mean, I was a Marvel and a DC comic book fan,
166
00:07:36.590 --> 00:07:38.540 line:15%
and I, and I still am, I'm just able
167
00:07:38.540 --> 00:07:40.910 line:15%
to watch these things now
with a different set of eyes.
168
00:07:41.930 --> 00:07:43.970 line:15%
But I mean, I can just remember, you know,
169
00:07:43.970 --> 00:07:46.010 line:15%
reading about, you know, Dr.
170
00:07:46.010 --> 00:07:47.720 line:15%
Strange, who's a wizard.
171
00:07:47.720 --> 00:07:50.870 line:15%
I mean, he's a good guy
in that fictional world,
172
00:07:50.870 --> 00:07:55.790 line:15%
but his, his methods of fighting evil,
173
00:07:55.790 --> 00:07:57.470 line:15%
well, according to the Bible,
174
00:07:57.470 --> 00:07:59.915 line:15%
those methods too would be evil.
175
00:07:59.915 --> 00:08:03.380 line:15%
You, you can't use witchcraft
to combat witchcraft.
176
00:08:03.380 --> 00:08:05.360 line:15%
You know, there really is no white magic
177
00:08:05.360 --> 00:08:09.440 line:15%
and black magic, regardless
of what, you know,
178
00:08:09.440 --> 00:08:12.200 line:15%
Wiccan writings might
say, or, or, or what.
179
00:08:12.200 --> 00:08:16.130 line:15%
Again, many of these fictional
universes might, you know,
180
00:08:16.130 --> 00:08:18.920 line:15%
display on screen or on
the pages of a, of a book.
181
00:08:21.230 --> 00:08:22.790
I think it's amazing.
182
00:08:22.790 --> 00:08:25.520
And so if, let's, I, I'm
thinking about parents
183
00:08:25.520 --> 00:08:28.190
that are listening to us grandparents,
184
00:08:28.190 --> 00:08:30.380
and they see their kids on devices.
185
00:08:30.380 --> 00:08:32.000
They see their kids watching things
186
00:08:32.000 --> 00:08:33.170 line:15%
and they think, well, maybe they
187
00:08:33.170 --> 00:08:34.760
should, maybe they shouldn't.
188
00:08:34.760 --> 00:08:36.410
What kind of role should parents
189
00:08:36.410 --> 00:08:40.400
and grandparents take in
guarding the eyes, the ears,
190
00:08:40.400 --> 00:08:43.370
the mind and the hearts of
their kids and grandkids.
191
00:08:44.360 --> 00:08:47.390 line:15%
Parents and grandparents
should know everything their
192
00:08:47.390 --> 00:08:49.940 line:15%
children and grandchildren are consuming.
193
00:08:51.410 --> 00:08:53.570 line:15%
I'm very involved in
194
00:08:53.570 --> 00:08:56.910 line:15%
what my children participate in,
195
00:08:56.910 --> 00:08:58.800 line:15%
what they're letting into their ear gates
196
00:08:58.800 --> 00:09:01.710 line:15%
and their eye gates, certain things they,
197
00:09:01.710 --> 00:09:03.665 line:15%
they can only watch with me.
198
00:09:03.665 --> 00:09:06.360 line:15%
And, and there's gonna be
a Bible lesson afterwards.
199
00:09:07.320 --> 00:09:10.530 line:15%
So, so parents should not let up.
200
00:09:10.530 --> 00:09:11.850 line:15%
Grandparents should not let up.
201
00:09:11.850 --> 00:09:15.990 line:15%
Or because they're so busy,
they just allow their children
202
00:09:15.990 --> 00:09:20.340 line:15%
to stay in a world of
smartphones and tablets
203
00:09:20.340 --> 00:09:22.290 line:15%
and just portable devices.
204
00:09:22.290 --> 00:09:24.270 line:15%
I mean, that's not healthy anyway,
205
00:09:24.270 --> 00:09:26.550 line:15%
to just remain in that space.
206
00:09:26.550 --> 00:09:29.040 line:15%
So yeah - parents
207
00:09:29.040 --> 00:09:33.480 line:15%
and grandparents should not be in the dark about
208
00:09:33.480 --> 00:09:35.790 line:15%
what their children and their grandchildren are
209
00:09:35.790 --> 00:09:37.410 line:15%
consuming when it comes to the,
210
00:09:37.410 --> 00:09:39.540 line:15%
to the sphere of entertainment.
211
00:09:39.540 --> 00:09:42.390
You know, when I was a teenager, the Exorcist came out
212
00:09:43.320 --> 00:09:46.320
and my dad forbid me to go to The Exorcist;
213
00:09:46.320 --> 00:09:48.270
he forbid me, but guess what?
214
00:09:49.230 --> 00:09:51.030 line:15%
I secretly went.
215
00:09:51.030 --> 00:09:54.330 line:15%
But today, you don't have
to go to the movie theaters
216
00:09:54.330 --> 00:09:55.410 line:15%
to see these things.
217
00:09:55.410 --> 00:09:56.760 line:15%
It's in our homes.
218
00:09:56.760 --> 00:10:00.090 line:15%
And in 2 Timothy 3,
219
00:10:00.090 --> 00:10:03.030 line:15%
it talks about evil things coming into the home
220
00:10:03.030 --> 00:10:04.860 line:15%
and affecting families.
221
00:10:04.860 --> 00:10:08.400
Today we are being inundated
by all of these things.
222
00:10:08.400 --> 00:10:11.580
And for example, me, I don't watch TV.
223
00:10:11.580 --> 00:10:14.790
I'm not interested in TV except Christian TV, really.
224
00:10:14.790 --> 00:10:18.420
So I really don't know what's
being broadcast into the space
225
00:10:18.420 --> 00:10:20.370
of young people and children,
226
00:10:20.370 --> 00:10:23.130
but I don't have any
young kids, but parents
227
00:10:23.130 --> 00:10:26.280
and grandparents who have
children that can see all
228
00:10:26.280 --> 00:10:28.770
that they need to know what
their kids are watching.
229
00:10:28.770 --> 00:10:31.440
And that's one reason I really
appreciated this particular
230
00:10:31.440 --> 00:10:33.000
chapter on the Prince of the Power of the Air,
231
00:10:33.000 --> 00:10:36.060
because you really lay it all out.
232
00:10:36.060 --> 00:10:37.710
In fact, when I was reading this,
233
00:10:37.710 --> 00:10:41.220
I don't think I've read anything ever that is more clear
234
00:10:41.220 --> 00:10:44.520
about what is being broadcast
into this space of our kids
235
00:10:44.520 --> 00:10:46.170
and our grandkids.
236
00:10:46.170 --> 00:10:48.990
And by the way, teenagers: even young adults,
237
00:10:48.990 --> 00:10:53.250
they devoured this stuff
not realizing the impact
238
00:10:53.250 --> 00:10:56.040
that it has on their
spirits and on their minds.
239
00:10:56.040 --> 00:10:58.500 line:15%
Yeah. Especially if
240
00:10:58.500 --> 00:11:01.320 line:15%
they're digesting these
things in abundance.
241
00:11:01.320 --> 00:11:03.595 line:15%
And there is a lack of the word of God.
242
00:11:03.595 --> 00:11:06.450 line:15%
If they're not feasting on the word every day,
243
00:11:06.450 --> 00:11:10.650 line:15%
but they're feasting on the world every day, well, ugh
244
00:11:10.650 --> 00:11:12.150 line:15%
it's gonna be a bit of a problem.
245
00:11:12.150 --> 00:11:15.360 line:15%
And if there's no word
to counter that world,
246
00:11:15.360 --> 00:11:17.370 line:15%
then we can see which direction
247
00:11:17.370 --> 00:11:18.840 line:15%
and which path they're gonna go down.
248
00:11:19.740 --> 00:11:23.370
You know, pastor Fred, when
I, when I was a little boy,
249
00:11:23.370 --> 00:11:24.930
we celebrated Halloween.
250
00:11:24.930 --> 00:11:27.630
I mean, we had no knowledge
of the devil whatsoever.
251
00:11:27.630 --> 00:11:29.940
And I'm creative. So
my mother would give me
252
00:11:29.940 --> 00:11:31.470
construction paper.
253
00:11:31.470 --> 00:11:34.650
She'd say, Ricky make the
best witches and goblins
254
00:11:34.650 --> 00:11:36.450
and ghosts you can make color them,
255
00:11:36.450 --> 00:11:37.650
and we're gonna paste them
256
00:11:37.650 --> 00:11:39.660
and tape them on the
front window of the house.
257
00:11:39.660 --> 00:11:42.510
And I put all of my heart
into making devils and witches
258
00:11:42.510 --> 00:11:45.390
and goblins, and was so
proud when I would go outside
259
00:11:45.390 --> 00:11:47.880
and see all my artwork
on the picture glass
260
00:11:47.880 --> 00:11:49.500
window in front of our house.
261
00:11:49.500 --> 00:11:51.720
But we've come a long way from those kind
262
00:11:51.720 --> 00:11:54.520
of innocent days when we as kids walked
263
00:11:54.520 --> 00:11:57.310
around dressed like goblins and witches.
264
00:11:57.310 --> 00:12:00.460
Now it is serious, serious business.
265
00:12:00.460 --> 00:12:03.940
You know, when you come to 1 John 5:
266
00:12:03.940 --> 00:12:07.660 line:15%
21, it says, My little children stay away from idols.
267
00:12:08.590 --> 00:12:10.570 line:15%
You know, to a 1st Century reader
268
00:12:10.570 --> 00:12:11.590 line:15%
that had a lot of meaning.
269
00:12:11.590 --> 00:12:16.090 line:15%
Today we don't understand the verse. Idols was the
270
00:12:16.090 --> 00:12:19.060
environment of very dark spiritual activity:
271
00:12:19.060 --> 00:12:23.050
demonism, all kinds of spiritual gifts that were not
272
00:12:23.050 --> 00:12:26.080
of the Holy Spirit: prophecy, all kinds of things
273
00:12:26.080 --> 00:12:27.550
that were demonic and origin
274
00:12:27.550 --> 00:12:30.250
and produced by evil spirits and Christians,
275
00:12:30.250 --> 00:12:32.770
we go into those places primarily
276
00:12:32.770 --> 00:12:35.050
because that's where
the best meat was sold.
277
00:12:35.050 --> 00:12:37.570
That's why the New Testament told them not
278
00:12:37.570 --> 00:12:39.610
to eat meat sacrificed to idols.
279
00:12:39.610 --> 00:12:40.870 line:15%
The problem wasn't the meat.
280
00:12:40.870 --> 00:12:44.170
Meat that is dead cannot
be demon possessed.
281
00:12:44.170 --> 00:12:47.710
But to get that good meat, you
had to go into those places.
282
00:12:47.710 --> 00:12:51.610
So here you go into a pagan temple where there is a god,
283
00:12:51.610 --> 00:12:54.520
there are people naked having sex on the altar.
284
00:12:54.520 --> 00:12:56.800
You can hear all kinds of spiritual things happening
285
00:12:56.800 --> 00:12:59.410
around you, and people uttering mysteries
286
00:12:59.410 --> 00:13:02.470
and dark evil prophecies.
287
00:13:02.470 --> 00:13:05.020
And you're in that whole environment.
288
00:13:05.020 --> 00:13:07.450
And the problem was that
when they walked out of
289
00:13:07.450 --> 00:13:09.460
that environment, they walked out
290
00:13:09.460 --> 00:13:13.120
with the best meat in town,
but they were oppressed.
291
00:13:13.120 --> 00:13:17.500
They were affected spiritually
by being in that environment.
292
00:13:17.500 --> 00:13:20.170
Now, I know that greater
is he that's in us than he
293
00:13:20.170 --> 00:13:21.760
that is in the world.
294
00:13:21.760 --> 00:13:22.900
But let me ask you a question.
295
00:13:24.010 --> 00:13:26.050
If you've had a problem with alcohol,
296
00:13:27.220 --> 00:13:30.760 line:15%
you probably shouldn't
go hang out in a bar.
297
00:13:30.760 --> 00:13:32.230 line:15%
You don't need to go there.
298
00:13:32.230 --> 00:13:33.850 line:15%
It's gonna drag you back into it.
299
00:13:33.850 --> 00:13:35.080 line:15%
You're gonna be influenced by the
300
00:13:35.080 --> 00:13:36.910 line:15%
environment. In the same way,
301
00:13:36.910 --> 00:13:40.600 line:15%
we need to realize oppression is something
302
00:13:40.600 --> 00:13:42.310 line:15%
that affects us emotionally.
303
00:13:42.310 --> 00:13:43.420 line:15%
It affects our soul.
304
00:13:43.420 --> 00:13:45.370
It doesn't affect our spirit,
305
00:13:45.370 --> 00:13:47.830
but it's like something
that hangs over us.
306
00:13:47.830 --> 00:13:49.870
In the very same way when parents
307
00:13:49.870 --> 00:13:52.300
and grandparents just let
their kids watch any old thing
308
00:13:52.300 --> 00:13:56.050
they want to on TV, they don't realize the influence of some
309
00:13:56.050 --> 00:13:58.900
of these dark things are having on their children.
310
00:13:58.900 --> 00:14:00.820
And we need to say to our kids,
311
00:14:00.820 --> 00:14:03.070
there's some things we don't watch.
312
00:14:03.070 --> 00:14:06.790
Now, Pastor Fred, I rarely watch a movie, very rarely,
313
00:14:06.790 --> 00:14:08.020
but a new movie has come out
314
00:14:08.020 --> 00:14:09.550
and everybody said, you
gotta watch this movie.
315
00:14:09.550 --> 00:14:12.580
You gotta watch this movie. So
I watched it. You know what?
316
00:14:13.750 --> 00:14:15.580
That movie was so evil.
317
00:14:15.580 --> 00:14:18.580
There was such a dark, sinister force at the core of
318
00:14:18.580 --> 00:14:20.830
that movie that everybody's raving about,
319
00:14:21.670 --> 00:14:23.620
but people don't recognize it.
320
00:14:23.620 --> 00:14:25.420
We have to really be aware
321
00:14:25.420 --> 00:14:29.320
and be sensitive to what
we listen to what we see.
322
00:14:29.320 --> 00:14:30.490
You know, there's that old song, oh,
323
00:14:30.490 --> 00:14:32.380
be careful Little eyes, what you see.
324
00:14:32.380 --> 00:14:34.780
Oh, be careful. Little Ears, what you hear.
325
00:14:34.780 --> 00:14:37.510
And it's really the truth. The Bible tells us
326
00:14:37.510 --> 00:14:40.840
in 2 Peter 2, that Lot was destroyed
327
00:14:40.840 --> 00:14:44.920
because of seeing and hearing,
seeing and hearing, seeing
328
00:14:44.920 --> 00:14:47.860
and hearing he vexed his soul.
329
00:14:47.860 --> 00:14:51.680
And what we see and what we hear really affects us.
330
00:14:51.680 --> 00:14:53.780 line:15%
So I really appreciate what you've done in this book.
331
00:14:53.780 --> 00:14:55.310
Now I have another question.
332
00:14:55.310 --> 00:14:57.950
Since we have no reason
to be afraid of the Devil,
333
00:14:57.950 --> 00:15:01.430
yet we need to be sensible
about him and what he's doing,
334
00:15:01.430 --> 00:15:04.430
what kind of authority does every Christian
335
00:15:04.430 --> 00:15:05.540
have over the enemy?
336
00:15:06.830 --> 00:15:10.400 line:15%
Well, we have the
authority of Jesus and,
337
00:15:10.400 --> 00:15:12.590 line:15%
and the ability of the Holy Spirit.
338
00:15:12.590 --> 00:15:16.040 line:15%
So now that doesn't mean
339
00:15:16.040 --> 00:15:20.120 line:15%
that we go looking for dark places to
340
00:15:21.380 --> 00:15:25.130 line:15%
evangelize, although I do believe your son is one example
341
00:15:25.130 --> 00:15:28.075 line:15%
who, who goes into the darkness.
342
00:15:28.075 --> 00:15:29.750 line:15%
And and we need individuals like
343
00:15:29.750 --> 00:15:31.310 line:15%
that. But I believe that's a
344
00:15:31.310 --> 00:15:32.960
Philip was just at Burning Man.
345
00:15:34.070 --> 00:15:35.480
And you know, when Burning Man ended,
346
00:15:35.480 --> 00:15:37.490
they found a man at the base of
347
00:15:37.490 --> 00:15:39.770
that big statue in a pool of blood dead.
348
00:15:39.770 --> 00:15:41.840
It's very likely he
might've been sacrificed.
349
00:15:41.840 --> 00:15:43.700
I mean, it's a dark, dark place.
350
00:15:43.700 --> 00:15:46.010
And Philip just goes in
there with the power of God.
351
00:15:46.010 --> 00:15:49.100
He just won 523 people to the Lord:
352
00:15:49.100 --> 00:15:50.750
9 people baptized in water.
353
00:15:50.750 --> 00:15:52.760
A whole slew of people healed.
354
00:15:52.760 --> 00:15:54.560
But we need to be careful where we go.
355
00:15:54.560 --> 00:15:55.460
We need to make sure we're
356
00:15:55.460 --> 00:15:56.900
commissioned to go to those places.
357
00:15:56.900 --> 00:15:58.070 line:15%
Absolutely. Absolutely.
358
00:15:58.070 --> 00:15:59.870 line:15%
Yeah, he's commissioned to go,
359
00:15:59.870 --> 00:16:01.820 line:15%
that's his assignment from the Lord.
360
00:16:01.820 --> 00:16:03.710 line:15%
That's not the case with everybody.
361
00:16:03.710 --> 00:16:07.790 line:15%
And so, you know, the authority we have in,
362
00:16:07.790 --> 00:16:11.540 line:15%
in Christ isn't, isn't just some power to just wield
363
00:16:11.540 --> 00:16:12.920 line:15%
however we wanna wield it.
364
00:16:14.150 --> 00:16:16.910 line:15%
But that authority that we
have in Jesus is a reminder
365
00:16:16.910 --> 00:16:21.500 line:15%
to the adversary that he can't
do whatever he wants to us
366
00:16:21.500 --> 00:16:23.210 line:15%
whenever he wants to us.
367
00:16:23.210 --> 00:16:26.570 line:15%
Things aren't on his terms
because he's been defeated.
368
00:16:26.570 --> 00:16:28.040 line:15%
And so we just need to remind him
369
00:16:28.040 --> 00:16:31.970 line:15%
that he was defeated at the cross
370
00:16:31.970 --> 00:16:35.000 line:15%
and that we have that authority; we have
371
00:16:35.000 --> 00:16:39.200 line:15%
that power, we have that ability, and it trumps his ability.
372
00:16:39.200 --> 00:16:41.180
You know, Jesus said in Luke 10:19,
373
00:16:41.180 --> 00:16:43.700
behold I give you authority.
374
00:16:43.700 --> 00:16:45.830
Can you comment on that first?
375
00:16:45.830 --> 00:16:47.000
Absolutely. Absolutely.
376
00:16:47.000 --> 00:16:50.450 line:15%
And again, correct my Greek
if I say it incorrectly.
377
00:16:51.470 --> 00:16:55.070 line:15%
But what I love about that scripture is,
378
00:16:55.070 --> 00:16:57.110 line:15%
and here's how I like to always read it.
379
00:16:57.110 --> 00:16:58.850 line:15%
I like to read it this way.
380
00:16:58.850 --> 00:17:02.180 line:15%
He says - Behold, I give you power over the power.
381
00:17:02.180 --> 00:17:04.010 line:15%
And I like to just sit with that.
382
00:17:04.880 --> 00:17:07.460 line:15%
I give you power over the power.
383
00:17:07.460 --> 00:17:10.130 line:15%
Well, isn't all power the same?
384
00:17:10.130 --> 00:17:13.100 line:15%
What does it mean that he's
given us power over the
385
00:17:13.100 --> 00:17:14.480 line:15%
power of the enemy?
386
00:17:14.480 --> 00:17:17.360 line:15%
And so of course we know
that that's referring to
387
00:17:19.645 --> 00:17:20.840 line:15%
or eckusia.
388
00:17:20.840 --> 00:17:23.720 line:15%
I wanna make sure that I'm
pro pronouncing it correctly
389
00:17:23.720 --> 00:17:24.740 line:15%
Either way.
390
00:17:24.740 --> 00:17:26.990 line:15%
Okay. And then, and then dunamis.
391
00:17:26.990 --> 00:17:29.780 line:15%
So I've given you
authority over the ability
392
00:17:29.780 --> 00:17:32.150 line:15%
of the adversary or the
ability of the enemy.
393
00:17:32.150 --> 00:17:35.000 line:15%
But I always like to say
that we have a one up
394
00:17:35.000 --> 00:17:36.470 line:15%
because of course, Acts 1:8 says,
395
00:17:36.470 --> 00:17:38.570 line:15%
you shall receive power, dunamis, when the Holy
396
00:17:38.570 --> 00:17:40.010 line:15%
Spirit has come upon you.
397
00:17:40.010 --> 00:17:42.260 line:15%
So we've got, again,
the authority of Jesus
398
00:17:42.260 --> 00:17:44.720 line:15%
and the ability of the Holy Spirit.
399
00:17:44.720 --> 00:17:49.320 line:15%
Therefore, the ability
of the adversary cannot
400
00:17:49.320 --> 00:17:52.980 line:15%
again, he can't just take
us out whenever he wants to.
401
00:17:52.980 --> 00:17:54.210 line:15%
I mean, we have to give him place.
402
00:17:54.210 --> 00:17:57.240 line:15%
There has to be an open
door in that sense.
403
00:17:57.240 --> 00:17:59.100 line:15%
We have to give him authority.
404
00:17:59.100 --> 00:18:01.680 line:15%
But outside of that, I mean,
he has no authority and,
405
00:18:01.680 --> 00:18:05.970 line:15%
and no ability to again exert his will
406
00:18:05.970 --> 00:18:08.610 line:15%
or his agenda over God's people.
407
00:18:08.610 --> 00:18:09.900 line:15%
You know, in the Greek language, in
408
00:18:09.900 --> 00:18:11.460
that verse, it has the word epi -
409
00:18:11.460 --> 00:18:13.320
I give you power or authority
410
00:18:13.320 --> 00:18:15.000
over all the work of the enemy.
411
00:18:15.000 --> 00:18:17.010
And the word epi means over,
412
00:18:17.010 --> 00:18:20.100 line:15%
but it describes a
position of superiority.
413
00:18:20.100 --> 00:18:22.440 line:15%
We have a position of superiority.
414
00:18:22.440 --> 00:18:25.140 line:15%
And Fred, there's something
wonderful in the King James
415
00:18:25.140 --> 00:18:26.370
version, the word behold.
416
00:18:26.370 --> 00:18:28.980
Anytime you see that word,
behold, and for my viewers
417
00:18:28.980 --> 00:18:30.720
and listeners pay attention,
418
00:18:30.720 --> 00:18:34.380
the word behold is inserted into the text
419
00:18:34.380 --> 00:18:36.090
to express the emotion
420
00:18:36.090 --> 00:18:39.060
or the sentiment of one
speaking or writing.
421
00:18:39.060 --> 00:18:40.890 line:15%
It's the Greek word, idou.
422
00:18:40.890 --> 00:18:44.490 line:15%
It describes amazement,
bewilderment a loss of words.
423
00:18:44.490 --> 00:18:45.630 line:15%
So when Jesus said, behold,
424
00:18:45.630 --> 00:18:48.720 line:15%
I give you authority over
all the power of the enemy,
425
00:18:48.720 --> 00:18:53.370 line:15%
it means literally Jesus was
so excited at what he's about
426
00:18:53.370 --> 00:18:54.570 line:15%
to tell to the disciples
427
00:18:54.570 --> 00:18:56.100 line:15%
and to us that he begins
428
00:18:56.100 --> 00:18:57.780 line:15%
with the word behold the word you do.
429
00:18:57.780 --> 00:19:01.410
And a better translation would
be - are you ready - Wow, Wow,
430
00:19:01.410 --> 00:19:03.480
Wow, I'm so excited to tell you this.
431
00:19:03.480 --> 00:19:07.710
Listen to this, this will
leave you flabbergasted.
432
00:19:07.710 --> 00:19:12.360
I give you authority
over a superior position
433
00:19:12.360 --> 00:19:14.820 line:15%
over all the work of the enemy.
434
00:19:14.820 --> 00:19:18.780 line:15%
And then it says, and nothing
shall by no means hurt you.
435
00:19:18.780 --> 00:19:21.630 line:15%
And when you read the Greek
text, it's really strange
436
00:19:21.630 --> 00:19:23.580
because it's a triple negative;
437
00:19:23.580 --> 00:19:27.390 line:15%
a triple negative in one phrase: nothing shall
438
00:19:27.390 --> 00:19:30.780
by no means not no never, hurt you.
439
00:19:30.780 --> 00:19:34.260
It is so emphatic that if you're in Christ
440
00:19:34.260 --> 00:19:37.500
and you're walking in his authority, you have his protection
441
00:19:37.500 --> 00:19:41.160
and you have the ability to exercise Christ given authority,
442
00:19:41.160 --> 00:19:45.600
superiorly over all the work of the enemy.
443
00:19:45.600 --> 00:19:47.220
And by the way, the devil is called an enemy.
444
00:19:47.220 --> 00:19:49.740 line:15%
The Greek word echthros - it describes one
445
00:19:49.740 --> 00:19:51.960 line:15%
that is absolutely hostile toward us.
446
00:19:51.960 --> 00:19:55.200 line:15%
He really is. But you know what?
447
00:19:55.200 --> 00:19:57.750
We have the ability to
keep him under our feet
448
00:19:57.750 --> 00:19:59.880
because that's where Jesus put him.
449
00:19:59.880 --> 00:20:00.940
Absolutely.
And we're really not trying
450
00:20:00.940 --> 00:20:04.050
to get the victory, we're
just maintaining the victory
451
00:20:04.050 --> 00:20:05.050
That's right.
452
00:20:05.050 --> 00:20:06.420
That we've already been given.
453
00:20:06.420 --> 00:20:08.160 line:15%
That's right. Absolutely.
454
00:20:08.160 --> 00:20:11.100 line:15%
One of the things that I love about Luke 10, beginning
455
00:20:11.100 --> 00:20:15.690 line:15%
with verse 17 is the 70
when they return, which
456
00:20:15.690 --> 00:20:19.050 line:15%
by the way, the, the way
that reads, even the demons
457
00:20:20.070 --> 00:20:22.230 line:15%
lets us know that they
were doing other wonderful
458
00:20:22.230 --> 00:20:23.460 line:15%
feats in his name.
459
00:20:23.460 --> 00:20:26.040 line:15%
They were healing the sick,
they were opening blind eyes.
460
00:20:26.040 --> 00:20:27.180 line:15%
And and they come to 'em
461
00:20:27.180 --> 00:20:29.790 line:15%
and they say, Lord, even the demons are,
462
00:20:29.790 --> 00:20:34.710 line:15%
and what I love about what
the text says is really in
463
00:20:34.710 --> 00:20:36.120 line:15%
what the text doesn't say.
464
00:20:36.120 --> 00:20:37.680 line:15%
And I think it enhances what it does.
465
00:20:37.680 --> 00:20:39.690 line:15%
Say the 70 don't come back
466
00:20:39.690 --> 00:20:44.370 line:15%
and say, Lord, even the
demons are subject to you.
467
00:20:44.370 --> 00:20:46.170 line:15%
They say, Lord, even
the demons are subject
468
00:20:46.170 --> 00:20:47.680 line:15%
to us in your name.
469
00:20:47.680 --> 00:20:51.250 line:15%
And so it shows the authority
that has been given to us,
470
00:20:51.250 --> 00:20:53.620 line:15%
but that authority is backed by the power
471
00:20:53.620 --> 00:20:55.225 line:15%
that's in His name.
472
00:20:55.225 --> 00:20:57.490 line:15%
And...what whatever,
473
00:20:57.490 --> 00:20:59.800 line:15%
whatever play we make in the earth realm,
474
00:20:59.800 --> 00:21:01.840 line:15%
whatever kingdom play - let me specify
475
00:21:01.840 --> 00:21:03.550 line:15%
that - whatever kingdom play
476
00:21:03.550 --> 00:21:06.250 line:15%
or kingdom move we make
in the earth realm,
477
00:21:06.250 --> 00:21:07.570 line:15%
heaven backs our play.
478
00:21:07.570 --> 00:21:10.630 line:15%
And that is, that is so wonderful.
479
00:21:10.630 --> 00:21:12.670
Every time I'm with you, I learn something.
480
00:21:12.670 --> 00:21:14.590
And I wanna thank you so much for sharing
481
00:21:14.590 --> 00:21:16.420
and for being authentic
482
00:21:16.420 --> 00:21:19.240
and being so serious
about your spiritual life.
483
00:21:19.240 --> 00:21:22.600
But as we wrap up the program, I wanna ask you. Alright,
484
00:21:22.600 --> 00:21:26.410
so moms and dads, grandparents, they're watching,
485
00:21:26.410 --> 00:21:27.880
maybe younger kids are watching,
486
00:21:27.880 --> 00:21:30.340
they've heard you talk about
cartoons and movies and music.
487
00:21:30.340 --> 00:21:33.340
By the way, music is another
major tool the devil uses.
488
00:21:33.340 --> 00:21:34.570
Absolutely.
Oh yeah, yeah.
489
00:21:34.570 --> 00:21:36.700
Rap is just filled with so much evil.
490
00:21:36.700 --> 00:21:40.360
But not just rap, I mean,
a lot of major music stars,
491
00:21:40.360 --> 00:21:42.700
I believe they've cut
a deal with the devil
492
00:21:42.700 --> 00:21:43.700
They have.
493
00:21:43.700 --> 00:21:46.240
But so what do you wanna say
to parents and grandparents
494
00:21:46.240 --> 00:21:47.740
and young people and teenagers
495
00:21:47.740 --> 00:21:50.380
and young adults in light of everything
496
00:21:50.380 --> 00:21:52.390
that you have shared in today's program?
497
00:21:53.260 --> 00:21:54.970
Well, again, I wanna reiterate parents
498
00:21:54.970 --> 00:21:58.690 line:15%
and grandparents, especially
kids that, that are at a age
499
00:21:58.690 --> 00:22:00.700 line:15%
where they cannot take care of themselves.
500
00:22:00.700 --> 00:22:04.690 line:15%
Parents and grandparents, aunts, uncles, guardians,
501
00:22:04.690 --> 00:22:09.460 line:15%
big brothers, big sisters, whoever is responsible
502
00:22:09.460 --> 00:22:13.720 line:15%
for training up the children in your life.
503
00:22:15.160 --> 00:22:16.360 line:15%
You cannot let up.
504
00:22:16.360 --> 00:22:18.670 line:15%
Again, I wanna reiterate,
you can't let up.
505
00:22:18.670 --> 00:22:20.290 line:15%
You cannot leave them
506
00:22:20.290 --> 00:22:24.015 line:15%
to their own inventions.
507
00:22:24.015 --> 00:22:26.110 line:15%
You, you can't, you can't, you can't
508
00:22:26.110 --> 00:22:27.850 line:15%
let the gadgets raise them.
509
00:22:27.850 --> 00:22:29.380 line:15%
You can't let the TV raise them.
510
00:22:29.380 --> 00:22:32.320 line:15%
You can't let the video games raise them. Again,
511
00:22:33.970 --> 00:22:38.200 line:15%
many, many of these things have harmless applications
512
00:22:38.200 --> 00:22:40.720 line:15%
as well, but they also
have harmful applications.
513
00:22:40.720 --> 00:22:45.010 line:15%
And so we need to be fully aware
514
00:22:45.010 --> 00:22:48.430 line:15%
and alert as to what they're
engaging in, what, what,
515
00:22:48.430 --> 00:22:50.830 line:15%
what they're reading, what
they're watching, et cetera.
516
00:22:50.830 --> 00:22:51.663 line:15%
I would say that as kids age and they mature,
517
00:22:51.663 --> 00:22:52.496 line:15%
you know, they become teenagers and,
518
00:22:56.110 --> 00:22:58.390 line:15%
and they, maybe they feel grown: maybe they feel like, oh,
519
00:22:58.390 --> 00:23:00.580 line:15%
I can make a decision myself.
520
00:23:00.580 --> 00:23:03.670 line:15%
I go back to what Jesus said,
be careful what you hear.
521
00:23:03.670 --> 00:23:04.900 line:15%
Be careful how you hear.
522
00:23:04.900 --> 00:23:06.880 line:15%
We have to be watchmen all the time.
523
00:23:06.880 --> 00:23:09.940 line:15%
We have to be sober minded
and we have to be vigilant
524
00:23:09.940 --> 00:23:14.500 line:15%
because we know that the
mind is definitely a space
525
00:23:14.500 --> 00:23:18.730 line:15%
that the devil loves to play
with, giving thoughts, ideas,
526
00:23:18.730 --> 00:23:22.480 line:15%
and suggestions that go
against the word of God.
527
00:23:22.480 --> 00:23:25.090 line:15%
And so, again, if we
over immerse ourselves
528
00:23:25.090 --> 00:23:27.430 line:15%
and saturate ourselves
with worldly things,
529
00:23:27.430 --> 00:23:29.230 line:15%
then we have nothing in us.
530
00:23:29.230 --> 00:23:31.450 line:15%
And I believe that's what
Jesus was talking about.
531
00:23:31.450 --> 00:23:33.700 line:15%
And in John 14:30 when he said - The ruler
532
00:23:33.700 --> 00:23:36.460 line:15%
of this world is coming,
but he's got nothing in me.
533
00:23:36.460 --> 00:23:38.950 line:15%
And the way my dad used to,
the way my dad used to teach
534
00:23:38.950 --> 00:23:41.410 line:15%
that is he would say,
he's got nothing in me
535
00:23:41.410 --> 00:23:43.540 line:15%
that he can attach himself to.
536
00:23:43.540 --> 00:23:44.830 line:15%
There's, there's nothing in me that he
537
00:23:44.830 --> 00:23:46.430 line:15%
can, that he can work with.
538
00:23:46.430 --> 00:23:50.180 line:15%
And so, 16 year olds and 17 year olds,
539
00:23:50.180 --> 00:23:51.850 line:15%
and 18 year olds again,
540
00:23:51.850 --> 00:23:54.020 line:15%
and those who are, who are,
you know, they're getting
541
00:23:54.020 --> 00:23:56.510 line:15%
to an age where they can make
some decisions for themselves.
542
00:23:57.380 --> 00:24:02.150 line:15%
I caution them, I caution you to be filled up
543
00:24:02.150 --> 00:24:05.090 line:15%
with God's word, be filled
up with what God has
544
00:24:05.090 --> 00:24:07.610 line:15%
to say about your life,
about your circumstances,
545
00:24:07.610 --> 00:24:09.140 line:15%
about your, your situations.
546
00:24:09.140 --> 00:24:12.500 line:15%
Because if we only fill
ourselves up with the message
547
00:24:12.500 --> 00:24:16.040 line:15%
of the world, then I'm
gonna be honest with you,
548
00:24:16.040 --> 00:24:20.180 line:15%
it's not really effective
to respond to the world
549
00:24:20.180 --> 00:24:22.700 line:15%
with the world's devices.
550
00:24:22.700 --> 00:24:24.650 line:15%
But when the word of God
is on the inside of us
551
00:24:24.650 --> 00:24:26.570 line:15%
and the Bible tells us to renew our minds,
552
00:24:26.570 --> 00:24:29.300 line:15%
and that's something that
should happen daily so
553
00:24:29.300 --> 00:24:30.710 line:15%
that we're not conformed to the world,
554
00:24:30.710 --> 00:24:32.390 line:15%
we've gotta fill up on the word of God.
555
00:24:32.390 --> 00:24:35.570 line:15%
The word of God has to be the thing that we,
556
00:24:35.570 --> 00:24:38.060 line:15%
that we ingest and digest the most.
557
00:24:38.060 --> 00:24:39.680 line:15%
Well, I wanna say thank
you for being with me.
558
00:24:39.680 --> 00:24:42.470 line:15%
I believe that what you've shared in this program today is
559
00:24:42.470 --> 00:24:44.510 line:15%
gonna really help a lot of people.
560
00:24:44.510 --> 00:24:47.660 line:15%
Thank you so much for taking
time to be with me here.
561
00:24:47.660 --> 00:24:49.280 line:15%
I'm in Moscow, you're in California.
562
00:24:49.280 --> 00:24:52.130 line:15%
It's early in the morning
for me, very late for you.
563
00:24:52.130 --> 00:24:56.210 line:15%
And just thank you for the sacrifice to help me help people.
564
00:24:56.210 --> 00:24:57.350 line:15%
But I'm out of time
565
00:24:57.350 --> 00:24:58.880 line:15%
but I'll be back in just a moment
566
00:24:58.880 --> 00:25:00.290
and I'm going to pray for you.
567
00:25:00.290 --> 00:25:02.240 line:15%
You were born for this moment.
568
00:25:02.240 --> 00:25:04.430 line:15%
You're not a victim of the End-Times,
569
00:25:04.430 --> 00:25:07.460 line:15%
but a powerful weapon in the hands of God.
570
00:25:07.460 --> 00:25:11.120 line:15%

00:26:24.530 --> 00:26:26.210
Well, today's program is already over
600
00:26:26.210 --> 00:26:28.850
and I'm just sorry we
didn't have more time
601
00:26:28.850 --> 00:26:32.870
because there is so many
things I wanted to discuss
602
00:26:32.870 --> 00:26:34.550
with Fred Price.
603
00:26:34.550 --> 00:26:37.820
But a lot of what I want to
talk about is in his book,
604
00:26:37.820 --> 00:26:39.890 line:15%
which is called Behind the Scene.
605
00:26:39.890 --> 00:26:41.360 line:15%
I devoured it
606
00:26:41.360 --> 00:26:43.620 line:15%
and I know you are gonna
read it with interest.
607
00:26:43.620 --> 00:26:45.840 line:15%
It will feed your heart. And guess what?
608
00:26:45.840 --> 00:26:49.380 line:15%
It will feed your mind.
It is really a great book.
609
00:26:49.380 --> 00:26:52.980 line:15%
And this series is called A
Prophetic View of the Future.
610
00:26:52.980 --> 00:26:57.510 line:15%
We need to know what God says
to us about our current times
611
00:26:57.510 --> 00:27:00.840 line:15%
and what's gonna happen between now and the coming of Jesus.
612
00:27:00.840 --> 00:27:03.810 line:15%
And that's why we're doing this 10 part series with 5
613
00:27:03.810 --> 00:27:05.520 line:15%
of my young friends.
614
00:27:05.520 --> 00:27:08.070 line:15%
But you can find out more
about all these things
615
00:27:08.070 --> 00:27:10.440 line:15%
by going online or calling us.
616
00:27:10.440 --> 00:27:11.670 line:15%
And I wanna pray for you right now.
617
00:27:11.670 --> 00:27:13.860 line:15%
Father, I think in the name of Jesus
618
00:27:13.860 --> 00:27:16.290 line:15%
that you sent the Holy
Spirit to show us things,
619
00:27:16.290 --> 00:27:18.360 line:15%
to come help us, to open our ears
620
00:27:18.360 --> 00:27:19.650 line:15%
and to open our hearts
621
00:27:19.650 --> 00:27:22.530 line:15%
that we would have your
prophetic view of the future.
622
00:27:22.530 --> 00:27:25.560 line:15%
In Jesus' name. Amen.
623
00:27:25.560 --> 00:27:27.600 line:15%
Well, I'm coming back
tomorrow with another one
624
00:27:27.600 --> 00:27:31.410
of my friends, but until then, remember Ecclesiastes 8:4
625
00:27:31.410 --> 00:27:35.190
says, "Where the word of a king is, there's power."
626
00:27:35.190 --> 00:27:37.410
If you've never received
Jesus as your Savior
627
00:27:37.410 --> 00:27:41.790 line:15%
and Lord, now is the time for
you to experience a new life
628
00:27:41.790 --> 00:27:43.980 line:15%
Jesus has to give you.
629
00:27:43.980 --> 00:27:48.030 line:15%
Pray this prayer with me right now - Lord,
630
00:27:48.030 --> 00:27:52.050 line:15%
I repent of my sin and
receive you as my Savior
631
00:27:52.050 --> 00:27:55.020 line:15%
and Lord. Wash away my sin
632
00:27:55.020 --> 00:27:58.050 line:15%
and make me completely new.
633
00:27:58.050 --> 00:28:01.950 line:15%
I thank you that my sin is removed
634
00:28:01.950 --> 00:28:06.950 line:15%
and Satan no longer has any
right to lay claim on me.
635
00:28:07.410 --> 00:28:11.400 line:15%
I faithfully promise that
I will serve you as my Lord
636
00:28:11.400 --> 00:28:12.630 line:15%
for the rest of my life -
637
00:28:13.995 --> 00:28:14.995 line:15%
Amen.
638
00:28:16.920 --> 00:28:19.080 line:15%
Thank you for joining Rick Renner today.
