This program is made
possible by the giving
2
00:00:03.900 --> 00:00:07.740 line:15%
of the God called partners
of Renner Ministries.
3
00:00:07.740 --> 00:00:11.250
Welcome to today's program.
It's the end of the week.
4
00:00:11.250 --> 00:00:14.280
And you know, last week we
had Mike Signorelli with us
5
00:00:14.280 --> 00:00:16.020
as a part of this series,
6
00:00:16.020 --> 00:00:18.030 line:15%
which is called A Prophetic
View of the Future.
7
00:00:18.030 --> 00:00:19.560 line:15%
And it was just so impacting,
8
00:00:19.560 --> 00:00:22.200 line:15%
I asked him if he would join us again.
9
00:00:22.200 --> 00:00:25.230 line:15%
This week's we're wrapping
up this week again
10
00:00:25.230 --> 00:00:27.570
with my friend Mike Signorelli,
11
00:00:27.570 --> 00:00:30.930 line:15%
and we're talking about his
book called Fire Starters.
12
00:00:30.930 --> 00:00:32.520 line:15%
Do you wanna be a Fire Starter?
13
00:00:32.520 --> 00:00:34.080 line:15%
Do you wanna be a source of revival?
14
00:00:34.080 --> 00:00:37.260 line:15%
Everywhere you go, then you
need to read Mike's book
15
00:00:37.260 --> 00:00:40.260 line:15%
because you wanna be a Fire Starter.
16
00:00:40.260 --> 00:00:44.340 line:15%
Amen. And we're doing this
series called A Prophetic View
17
00:00:44.340 --> 00:00:45.510 line:15%
of the Future with five
18
00:00:45.510 --> 00:00:48.600 line:15%
of my younger friends in the ministry
19
00:00:48.600 --> 00:00:50.070 line:15%
who really give us their view of
20
00:00:50.070 --> 00:00:52.320 line:15%
what God is doing in the church today.
21
00:00:52.320 --> 00:00:55.200 line:15%
It is riveting and so powerful,
22
00:00:55.200 --> 00:00:57.270
but you can find out more
about all these things
23
00:00:57.270 --> 00:00:59.010 line:15%
by going online or calling us,
24
00:00:59.010 --> 00:01:02.520 line:15%
and please let us know how
to pray for you as well.
25
00:01:02.520 --> 00:01:06.930 line:15%
But right now, let's get
started with Mike Signorelli.
26
00:01:06.930 --> 00:01:10.110
Get ready for a teaching
that feeds your spirit
27
00:01:10.110 --> 00:01:12.870 line:15%
and your mind, where the word is,
28
00:01:12.870 --> 00:01:15.660 line:15%
the anchor in uncertain times
29
00:01:15.660 --> 00:01:18.960 line:15%
and doctrine doesn't bend to culture.
30
00:01:18.960 --> 00:01:20.400 line:15%
We keep it simple,
31
00:01:20.400 --> 00:01:24.960 line:15%
but dive deep revealing a
truth that strengthens us,
32
00:01:25.830 --> 00:01:27.750 line:15%
a love that emboldens,
33
00:01:28.860 --> 00:01:31.020 line:15%
and a mission that touches the world.
34
00:01:33.360 --> 00:01:34.860 line:15%
Let's join Rick Renner.
35
00:01:37.260 --> 00:01:39.180 line:15%
As I told you, I'm really excited
36
00:01:39.180 --> 00:01:42.060
that my friend Mike Signorelli is with me again today.
37
00:01:42.060 --> 00:01:44.070 line:15%
Welcome to the program, Mike.
38
00:01:44.070 --> 00:01:46.080
Oh, I'm so excited for round two.
39
00:01:46.080 --> 00:01:48.060
This is gonna be amazing.
40
00:01:48.060 --> 00:01:50.850
Well, when we finished
the last program last week,
41
00:01:50.850 --> 00:01:53.070
I had one more question
I wanted to ask you,
42
00:01:53.070 --> 00:01:55.170
and I'm gonna start with it today.
43
00:01:55.170 --> 00:01:57.480
Alright. Your book is
called Fire Starters,
44
00:01:57.480 --> 00:02:00.600 line:15%
and you truly are a fire starter,
45
00:02:00.600 --> 00:02:04.770 line:15%
but you can't start a
fire unless you have fire.
46
00:02:05.790 --> 00:02:09.960
So what happened in your life
that really sets you on fire?
47
00:02:09.960 --> 00:02:12.510 line:15%
And how have you maintained that fire?
48
00:02:12.510 --> 00:02:13.710 line:15%
Absolutely. Okay.
49
00:02:13.710 --> 00:02:15.720 line:15%
No one is going to believe what I'm going
50
00:02:15.720 --> 00:02:17.220 line:15%
to say, but I, I believe you.
51
00:02:19.165 --> 00:02:21.870
Well, I'm extremely introverted by nature,
52
00:02:21.870 --> 00:02:24.000
extremely introverted.
53
00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:26.010
I am the least likely of my family
54
00:02:26.010 --> 00:02:28.170
to be the preacher, to be the pastor.
55
00:02:28.170 --> 00:02:29.910
I'm the oldest of five children,
56
00:02:29.910 --> 00:02:33.840 line:15%
and surely my mother thought it would be one of my siblings.
57
00:02:33.840 --> 00:02:37.170
But at the age of 15 years
old, I was reading the Bible
58
00:02:37.170 --> 00:02:39.000
and I had a love for scripture.
59
00:02:39.000 --> 00:02:42.000
I would read from Genesis
to Revelation all on my own
60
00:02:42.000 --> 00:02:45.540
as a teenager, which as you
know, is extremely unusual.
61
00:02:45.540 --> 00:02:47.610
But I got to Acts 2,
62
00:02:47.610 --> 00:02:50.820
and for some reason at 15 years old, it just clicked.
63
00:02:50.820 --> 00:02:51.990
And I said, wait a second,
64
00:02:51.990 --> 00:02:54.270
this is Peter preaching with boldness.
65
00:02:54.270 --> 00:02:56.790
Wasn't he just scared of this little girl?
66
00:02:56.790 --> 00:03:00.100
And I sat on the edge of
my bed, close my Bible,
67
00:03:00.100 --> 00:03:02.320
and I prayed the most dangerous prayer
68
00:03:02.320 --> 00:03:03.340 line:15%
that you can ever pray.
69
00:03:03.340 --> 00:03:07.360
I said, God, I if the Holy
Spirit is real, if you want me
70
00:03:07.360 --> 00:03:09.220
to have this, I want it.
71
00:03:09.220 --> 00:03:11.800
And immediately I was
baptized in the Holy Spirit.
72
00:03:11.800 --> 00:03:13.930
I begin to speak in tongues loudly,
73
00:03:13.930 --> 00:03:18.005
and I was empowered with the boldness that is not of myself.
74
00:03:18.005 --> 00:03:20.105
I don't have that boldness.
75
00:03:20.105 --> 00:03:22.210
And, and, and all these years later,
76
00:03:22.210 --> 00:03:24.670
I'm still operating in that boldness.
77
00:03:24.670 --> 00:03:27.460
My family was completely
shocked to see me begin
78
00:03:27.460 --> 00:03:28.930
to preach the gospel.
79
00:03:28.930 --> 00:03:30.640
I was shocked. There were times
80
00:03:30.640 --> 00:03:32.860
where I had like a third
person perspective, like,
81
00:03:32.860 --> 00:03:35.020
what am I even doing right now?
82
00:03:35.020 --> 00:03:38.440
Because my flesh couldn't
even keep up with my spirit.
83
00:03:38.440 --> 00:03:40.390
And so I just want that
to be an encouragement
84
00:03:40.390 --> 00:03:42.010
to everybody watching today.
85
00:03:42.010 --> 00:03:44.050
You know, when you say, well,
I could never do that for God.
86
00:03:44.050 --> 00:03:46.960
You can't, but the Holy
Spirit will empower you so
87
00:03:46.960 --> 00:03:49.630
that you can, I'm a
living testimony of it.
88
00:03:49.630 --> 00:03:52.270
I was also very timid. I was like Kent Clark.
89
00:03:52.270 --> 00:03:54.820
I mean, I, I never wanted
anybody to see my face,
90
00:03:54.820 --> 00:03:56.350 line:15%
but one day I went into the phone booth
91
00:03:56.350 --> 00:03:57.850
and came out different.
92
00:03:57.850 --> 00:04:01.960
And when, and I began preaching in school when I was 15
93
00:04:01.960 --> 00:04:04.870
years old, and I would stand
on the ledge in the main
94
00:04:04.870 --> 00:04:05.980 line:15%
hallway of the school.
95
00:04:05.980 --> 00:04:08.350
And as all the kids
walked to the next class,
96
00:04:08.350 --> 00:04:11.710 line:15%
that was my opportunity to preach to them as they walked by.
97
00:04:11.710 --> 00:04:15.190 line:15%
I even started a gospel club
in the school, let a couple
98
00:04:15.190 --> 00:04:17.620 line:15%
of the teachers in the
baptism and the Holy Spirit.
99
00:04:17.620 --> 00:04:21.100
But it all changed for me when
I received the baptism in the
100
00:04:21.100 --> 00:04:24.430
Holy Spirit and speaking
in tongues, played a major,
101
00:04:24.430 --> 00:04:25.690
major role.
102
00:04:25.690 --> 00:04:29.560 line:15%
And I want to ask you, what
role does speaking in tongues
103
00:04:29.560 --> 00:04:31.600
play in revival?
104
00:04:31.600 --> 00:04:33.160
Oh, absolutely.
105
00:04:33.160 --> 00:04:36.370
You know, speaking in
tongues is so important,
106
00:04:36.370 --> 00:04:38.530
and I, it's so important that I believe
107
00:04:38.530 --> 00:04:42.790
that Satan has a demonic agenda to confuse a lot of people
108
00:04:42.790 --> 00:04:44.860
around this particular topic.
109
00:04:44.860 --> 00:04:47.830
But the speaking in tongues is something that
110
00:04:47.830 --> 00:04:49.000
it's a gift.
111
00:04:49.000 --> 00:04:50.980
You know, I had this
dear woman of our church,
112
00:04:50.980 --> 00:04:53.710
and I was doing a membership
class at one time,
113
00:04:53.710 --> 00:04:56.350
and she said, Pastor Mike,
I have a question for you.
114
00:04:56.350 --> 00:04:59.350
And she said, I've been
fasting, I've been praying,
115
00:04:59.350 --> 00:05:02.020
I've been giving finances
to the local church.
116
00:05:02.020 --> 00:05:04.600
I've been serving on our teams,
117
00:05:04.600 --> 00:05:08.320
and I've been asking, God,
give me the gift of tongues.
118
00:05:08.320 --> 00:05:10.690
And she said, I just
have not received it yet.
119
00:05:10.690 --> 00:05:12.100
And I told her, I said, well,
120
00:05:12.100 --> 00:05:14.530
I know exactly why you
have not received it,
121
00:05:14.530 --> 00:05:18.160
because you think that doing
all those things earns it.
122
00:05:18.160 --> 00:05:21.010
And I said, it's not the
rewards of the spirit,
123
00:05:21.010 --> 00:05:22.900
it's the gifts of the spirit.
124
00:05:22.900 --> 00:05:25.330
And, and so tongues is a gift,
125
00:05:25.330 --> 00:05:28.030
and God wants us to
receive it as a good gift.
126
00:05:28.030 --> 00:05:30.610
And so I believe that when we receive it,
127
00:05:30.610 --> 00:05:34.270
it becomes a very important
tool in our toolkit
128
00:05:34.270 --> 00:05:36.640
for living in revival.
129
00:05:36.640 --> 00:05:39.430
You know, when people, when
people finally understand
130
00:05:39.430 --> 00:05:41.260
that we are spirits,
131
00:05:41.260 --> 00:05:42.340 line:15%
Yeah,
We live in bodies,
132
00:05:42.340 --> 00:05:44.650
we have a mind, we are spirits.
133
00:05:44.650 --> 00:05:46.990
The real us is spirit.
134
00:05:46.990 --> 00:05:49.840
Well, the real us does not speak English.
135
00:05:49.840 --> 00:05:51.850
Spirit does, does not speak German,
136
00:05:51.850 --> 00:05:52.870
it doesn't speak Russian.
137
00:05:52.870 --> 00:05:55.210
When we get to heaven,
all those languages are
138
00:05:55.210 --> 00:05:56.470
gonna evaporate.
139
00:05:56.470 --> 00:05:59.960
Spirit speaks spirit,
and God is a spirit. Wow.
140
00:05:59.960 --> 00:06:02.030
And so when we pray in tongues,
141
00:06:02.030 --> 00:06:03.980
we're really speaking
in the language of God.
142
00:06:03.980 --> 00:06:06.800
It creates a channel of communication.
143
00:06:06.800 --> 00:06:10.250
But in your book, you
very interestingly write,
144
00:06:10.250 --> 00:06:11.990
and I agree with every word of it,
145
00:06:11.990 --> 00:06:13.910
that there are four kinds of tongues.
146
00:06:13.910 --> 00:06:17.240
So what kind of four kinds
of tongues are there?
147
00:06:17.240 --> 00:06:19.280
Okay, this is gonna help so many people
148
00:06:19.280 --> 00:06:20.990
because the confusion
149
00:06:20.990 --> 00:06:24.260
around tongues actually
comes from not understanding
150
00:06:24.260 --> 00:06:27.170
that the Bible is describing
different kinds of tongues.
151
00:06:27.170 --> 00:06:30.470
So just to briefly give an overview:
152
00:06:30.470 --> 00:06:33.260
No.1, is there's public tongues
153
00:06:33.260 --> 00:06:36.140
as actual sign to unbelievers.
154
00:06:36.140 --> 00:06:38.840
This is what you see in Acts 2.
155
00:06:38.840 --> 00:06:42.530
They're basically proclaiming
the gospel in a language
156
00:06:42.530 --> 00:06:44.540
that's not their native language.
157
00:06:44.540 --> 00:06:48.200
And I've actually had a similar experience one time at our
158
00:06:48.200 --> 00:06:51.590
church. One of the worship leaders was singing in tongues.
159
00:06:51.590 --> 00:06:55.010
I assumed that he was
actually singing in Spanish.
160
00:06:55.010 --> 00:06:56.390
And so I was provoking him.
161
00:06:56.390 --> 00:06:59.360
Yes, keep singing, keep singing, turn his microphone up.
162
00:06:59.360 --> 00:07:01.040
Well, we got off a stage
163
00:07:01.040 --> 00:07:02.600
and he said, Pastor Mike, thank you.
164
00:07:02.600 --> 00:07:04.430
I've never sang in tongues before.
165
00:07:04.430 --> 00:07:07.370 line:15%
And I said, oh, I assumed it was Spanish.
166
00:07:07.370 --> 00:07:09.380 line:15%
I, I couldn't really hear.
167
00:07:09.380 --> 00:07:10.550
Well, at that same moment,
168
00:07:10.550 --> 00:07:14.270 line:15%
he got a text message from his
sister who speaks Portuguese.
169
00:07:14.270 --> 00:07:17.660
And she, she asked, she said,
when did you learn Portuguese?
170
00:07:17.660 --> 00:07:19.490
And he said, I don't know, Portuguese.
171
00:07:19.490 --> 00:07:21.320
And she said, I was just listening
172
00:07:21.320 --> 00:07:23.630
to the V-1 Church livestream,
173
00:07:23.630 --> 00:07:25.400
and you were singing a phrase over
174
00:07:25.400 --> 00:07:27.050
and over again in Portuguese.
175
00:07:27.050 --> 00:07:28.880
And he goes, well, what was I singing?
176
00:07:28.880 --> 00:07:31.610
I assumed it was just unknown tongues.
177
00:07:31.610 --> 00:07:33.860
And she said, the phrase
that you were singing was,
178
00:07:33.860 --> 00:07:36.740
I give all of my worship to you.
179
00:07:36.740 --> 00:07:38.870
And there's no way that
he could have known that.
180
00:07:38.870 --> 00:07:41.900
And that encouraged his
faith, it encouraged hers
181
00:07:41.900 --> 00:07:43.310
and many other people as well.
182
00:07:43.310 --> 00:07:45.380
So God is still doing these things.
183
00:07:45.380 --> 00:07:46.730
You know, when I was a college student,
184
00:07:46.730 --> 00:07:48.980
we had a baptismal service at the lake,
185
00:07:48.980 --> 00:07:50.690
and I saw that over to the side
186
00:07:50.690 --> 00:07:53.480
there were some Arabs who were
students of the university.
187
00:07:53.480 --> 00:07:56.000
And a friend and I, we were
young, we were on fire,
188
00:07:56.000 --> 00:07:57.830
we were just willing to do anything.
189
00:07:57.830 --> 00:08:00.620
And I said, let's go over to those Arabs
190
00:08:00.620 --> 00:08:03.800 line:15%
and let's speak to them in
tongues and see what happens.
191
00:08:03.800 --> 00:08:06.890 line:15%
So we went up over, we began
to speak to them in tongues
192
00:08:06.890 --> 00:08:11.720 line:15%
and in broken English, they
said, thank you so much.
193
00:08:11.720 --> 00:08:14.240 line:15%
We want to give our hearts to Jesus.
194
00:08:14.240 --> 00:08:16.070 line:15%
We were speaking to them in Arabic,
195
00:08:16.070 --> 00:08:17.840
and they wanted to be water baptized.
196
00:08:17.840 --> 00:08:19.940
We took 'em over and water baptized them.
197
00:08:19.940 --> 00:08:22.190
We communicated the whole gospel to them
198
00:08:22.190 --> 00:08:23.630
as we just spoke in tongues.
199
00:08:23.630 --> 00:08:24.740
I think it is amazing.
200
00:08:24.740 --> 00:08:27.680
Okay, that's one kind of
tongues. What's the next,
201
00:08:27.680 --> 00:08:29.150
Okay, so the 2nd one,
202
00:08:29.150 --> 00:08:32.570
and again, this is so exciting, it's tongues
203
00:08:32.570 --> 00:08:35.240 line:15%
for public interpretation.
204
00:08:35.240 --> 00:08:38.375 line:15%
And so oftentimes what you'll
see is one person begins
205
00:08:38.375 --> 00:08:39.560
to speak in tongues.
206
00:08:39.560 --> 00:08:42.080
And this is in the
context of a church, right?
207
00:08:42.080 --> 00:08:43.975
Yeah. In a context of a church. Yes.
208
00:08:43.975 --> 00:08:45.650
Or among, or among believers.
209
00:08:45.650 --> 00:08:47.630
Among believers in a group.
210
00:08:47.630 --> 00:08:51.020
You actually see this in 1 Corinthians 14.
211
00:08:51.020 --> 00:08:53.150
And basically the apostle Paul says,
212
00:08:53.150 --> 00:08:55.560
this should be done in an orderly way,
213
00:08:55.560 --> 00:08:57.870
but essentially one
person speaks in tongues
214
00:08:57.870 --> 00:09:01.710
and then someone else actually
gives an interpretation in
215
00:09:01.710 --> 00:09:04.080
the known language of that group so
216
00:09:04.080 --> 00:09:05.940
that everybody could benefit.
217
00:09:05.940 --> 00:09:07.230
And a quick story is,
218
00:09:07.230 --> 00:09:10.500
I was actually in Switzerland
once doing a conference,
219
00:09:10.500 --> 00:09:13.590
and I saw this happen
amongst a husband and wife.
220
00:09:13.590 --> 00:09:17.460
And so the wife began to
speak in an unknown tongue.
221
00:09:17.460 --> 00:09:21.510
And then the husband gave the
interpretation in French at
222
00:09:21.510 --> 00:09:24.030
that time, and everyone
was able to understand,
223
00:09:24.030 --> 00:09:26.190
and the whole church began to weep.
224
00:09:26.190 --> 00:09:28.350
And it was just such a
beautiful unity, even
225
00:09:28.350 --> 00:09:30.660
between a husband and wife.
226
00:09:30.660 --> 00:09:33.060
Do you see that happen in your church?
227
00:09:33.060 --> 00:09:34.350
We do actually.
228
00:09:34.350 --> 00:09:35.460
And you know, it's funny
229
00:09:35.460 --> 00:09:39.420
because it's, it's become in
some ways less common in the
230
00:09:39.420 --> 00:09:41.460
United States, but of
course we believe in it.
231
00:09:41.460 --> 00:09:45.390
And I'm open. And we had one
particular service where one
232
00:09:45.390 --> 00:09:46.650
of our staff pastors,
233
00:09:46.650 --> 00:09:50.220
I actually started speaking in
tongues from the microphone.
234
00:09:50.220 --> 00:09:53.760
And one of our staff pastors
in the audience began
235
00:09:53.760 --> 00:09:56.310 line:15%
to interpret, and someone
ran over with the microphone.
236
00:09:56.310 --> 00:09:58.800
And when he started to interpret again,
237
00:09:58.800 --> 00:10:00.660
the entire church began to weep
238
00:10:00.660 --> 00:10:02.970
because I believe their
spirit was affirming.
239
00:10:02.970 --> 00:10:05.100
Yes, this is the word of the Lord.
240
00:10:05.100 --> 00:10:06.375
And we've seen that happen.
241
00:10:06.375 --> 00:10:09.270
And it's just so precious
when God moves in that way.
242
00:10:09.270 --> 00:10:11.790
Okay, so that's 2, what's No.3,?
243
00:10:11.790 --> 00:10:13.650
Okay, No.3, is,
244
00:10:13.650 --> 00:10:16.470
and this is personally, I,
I don't know if it's okay
245
00:10:16.470 --> 00:10:20.040
to have a favorite, but personally, this is my favorite.
246
00:10:20.040 --> 00:10:23.850
Romans 8:26 says,
247
00:10:23.850 --> 00:10:28.050
The spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep
248
00:10:28.050 --> 00:10:29.280
for even words.
249
00:10:29.280 --> 00:10:33.630
And so there's this form of private tongues for intercession
250
00:10:33.630 --> 00:10:35.340
where the Holy Spirit is working through you.
251
00:10:35.340 --> 00:10:37.650
It might be groanings too deep for words.
252
00:10:37.650 --> 00:10:41.410
It might be, you know, a tongue that is not
253
00:10:41.410 --> 00:10:43.500
a known language at this time.
254
00:10:43.500 --> 00:10:45.900 line:15%
And this is in personal intercession.
255
00:10:45.900 --> 00:10:49.770
And for me, I'm someone who
believes in, in deep prayer,
256
00:10:49.770 --> 00:10:51.540
you know, going the distance in prayer
257
00:10:51.540 --> 00:10:54.150
and the Holy Spirit helps us sometimes
258
00:10:54.150 --> 00:10:56.640
through even tongues giving like voice
259
00:10:56.640 --> 00:10:58.800
to these deep spiritual prayers
260
00:10:58.800 --> 00:11:01.770
that even our natural
words can't even go there.
261
00:11:01.770 --> 00:11:05.850
What's number No.4? No.4 - private tongues
262
00:11:05.850 --> 00:11:06.990
for personal prayer.
263
00:11:06.990 --> 00:11:08.130
And these are kind
264
00:11:08.130 --> 00:11:09.840
of making the distinction between the two.
265
00:11:09.840 --> 00:11:12.990
When you go to 1 Corinthians 14:2,
266
00:11:12.990 --> 00:11:16.320
it says, for one speaks in a tongue, not to men,
267
00:11:16.320 --> 00:11:19.590
but actually to God for
no one understands him,
268
00:11:19.590 --> 00:11:21.600
but he utters mysteries in the spirit.
269
00:11:21.600 --> 00:11:23.760
So it might be these
groanings, these travailing,
270
00:11:23.760 --> 00:11:26.310
but it also might mean that this is a gift
271
00:11:26.310 --> 00:11:27.810
of this personal prayer life
272
00:11:27.810 --> 00:11:32.310
for actually now not going
outward in intercession,
273
00:11:32.310 --> 00:11:35.010
but now inward in encouraging
274
00:11:35.010 --> 00:11:38.070
and building yourself up in
your personal prayer language.
275
00:11:38.070 --> 00:11:39.450
So that I think 3
276
00:11:39.450 --> 00:11:41.760
and 4 could sound like the same thing.
277
00:11:41.760 --> 00:11:44.370
But the distinction I make
in the book is, one is
278
00:11:44.370 --> 00:11:46.860
where you're interceding and
praying for someone else,
279
00:11:46.860 --> 00:11:47.910
but the other one is actually
280
00:11:47.910 --> 00:11:49.710
where the Lord is building you up
281
00:11:49.710 --> 00:11:52.290
and edifying you through
that language as well.
282
00:11:52.290 --> 00:11:54.190
In 1 Corinthians 14, Paul says, He that
283
00:11:54.190 --> 00:11:56.620
prays in tongues edifies himself.
284
00:11:56.620 --> 00:11:57.910
Yes. And for years and years
285
00:11:57.910 --> 00:12:00.970
and years, I heard that word edified means it builds you up.
286
00:12:00.970 --> 00:12:02.080
But you know what, Micah, doesn't mean
287
00:12:02.080 --> 00:12:06.490
that. It's an architectural term and it describes a person,
288
00:12:06.490 --> 00:12:08.140
or let's say a family,
289
00:12:08.140 --> 00:12:10.660
they live in a house, but now they've outgrown it
290
00:12:10.660 --> 00:12:12.310
and they need more space.
291
00:12:12.310 --> 00:12:15.850
So they begin to knock the
walls out to make more room.
292
00:12:15.850 --> 00:12:18.250
And that's really what that word means.
293
00:12:18.250 --> 00:12:21.790
It means he that prays in
tongues, expands himself,
294
00:12:21.790 --> 00:12:25.060
gives himself the
capacity to receive more.
295
00:12:25.060 --> 00:12:29.230
And you know, in 1 Corinthians 14:18, Paul says,
296
00:12:29.230 --> 00:12:30.820 line:15%
I pray in tongues more than all of you.
297
00:12:30.820 --> 00:12:34.600
Well, look at him. He
had a spiritual capacity,
298
00:12:34.600 --> 00:12:35.920
bigger than anybody's.
299
00:12:35.920 --> 00:12:39.130
That's why he wrote more
revelation than anyone else.
300
00:12:39.130 --> 00:12:41.140
And I really believe Paul's level
301
00:12:41.140 --> 00:12:43.540
of revelation was connected
302
00:12:43.540 --> 00:12:45.010
to the amount that he prayed in tongues.
303
00:12:45.010 --> 00:12:48.370
He just knocked the walls out
till he became so big on the
304
00:12:48.370 --> 00:12:52.240
inside, he could keep receiving and receiving and receiving.
305
00:12:52.240 --> 00:12:54.700
Alright, now I'm gonna ask you a private question.
306
00:12:54.700 --> 00:12:57.460
Okay? - Do you pray in tongues every day?
307
00:12:57.460 --> 00:13:00.400
I do. I mean, I pray
in tongues in the shower,
308
00:13:00.400 --> 00:13:01.930
I pray in tongues in the car,
309
00:13:01.930 --> 00:13:04.120
I pray in tongues in my studio.
310
00:13:04.120 --> 00:13:07.150
I mean, it is a perpetual
existence for me.
311
00:13:07.150 --> 00:13:08.950
And it has been for decades.
312
00:13:08.950 --> 00:13:10.570
And just like you mentioned
313
00:13:10.570 --> 00:13:14.380
about building up the structure, you know, the capacity,
314
00:13:14.380 --> 00:13:16.720
I truly attribute a
lot of what people see.
315
00:13:16.720 --> 00:13:19.210
Whether that's me
preaching in Times Square
316
00:13:19.210 --> 00:13:21.970
and you know, it goes mega
viral because thousands come,
317
00:13:21.970 --> 00:13:25.285
or the stadium event we're
doing actually in Chicago.
318
00:13:25.285 --> 00:13:26.620
I attribute all that
319
00:13:26.620 --> 00:13:29.020
to my prayer life being the foundation
320
00:13:29.020 --> 00:13:32.200
by which all those other
things are even possible.
321
00:13:32.200 --> 00:13:33.790
When I crawl out of bed every morning,
322
00:13:33.790 --> 00:13:35.080
I'm praying in tongues.
323
00:13:35.080 --> 00:13:36.940
I mean, it's the first thing I do.
324
00:13:36.940 --> 00:13:38.320
And I don't leave my house
325
00:13:38.320 --> 00:13:40.960
and I don't eat any food
until I've read the Bible.
326
00:13:40.960 --> 00:13:43.390
And I believe these two
things are so important, along
327
00:13:43.390 --> 00:13:45.190
with physical exercise
328
00:13:45.190 --> 00:13:48.340
that I ask all my team members
every morning, I call them,
329
00:13:48.340 --> 00:13:50.590
there's five guys, I call every one
330
00:13:50.590 --> 00:13:53.080 line:15%
of them every morning they expect my call.
331
00:13:53.080 --> 00:13:56.950
I say, did you read your Bible? Did you pray in tongues?
332
00:13:56.950 --> 00:14:00.370
Did you exercise? I just think those are three essentials.
333
00:14:00.370 --> 00:14:02.740
If you're gonna stay physically fit, become a vessel
334
00:14:02.740 --> 00:14:05.800
that God can use for a long
time, you gotta exercise
335
00:14:05.800 --> 00:14:07.570
and you gotta have the
intake of the word of God.
336
00:14:07.570 --> 00:14:09.130
And you gotta be exercising your
337
00:14:09.130 --> 00:14:10.510
spirit by praying in tongues.
338
00:14:10.510 --> 00:14:14.170
But Mike, some people don't
believe in praying in tongues.
339
00:14:14.170 --> 00:14:17.320
They call themself cessationists.
340
00:14:17.320 --> 00:14:20.380
And I've watched a lot of
your videos on this subject,
341
00:14:20.380 --> 00:14:24.130
and honestly, they're the cream of the crop on this subject.
342
00:14:24.130 --> 00:14:27.550
So tell my audience, what is a cessationist
343
00:14:27.550 --> 00:14:28.840
and why are they wrong?
344
00:14:29.800 --> 00:14:32.980
Okay, so unfortunately
there are people who believe
345
00:14:32.980 --> 00:14:36.640 line:15%
that the gifts of the spirit
were only for the early church
346
00:14:36.640 --> 00:14:40.450
as a sign or a means of
spreading the gospel.
347
00:14:40.450 --> 00:14:43.690
And at a certain age
that obviously ceased.
348
00:14:43.690 --> 00:14:45.580
Now we don't believe that.
349
00:14:45.580 --> 00:14:48.730
As a matter of fact, I believe
whom the sunsets free is
350
00:14:48.730 --> 00:14:49.840
free indeed.
351
00:14:49.840 --> 00:14:52.610
And I believe that we very
much still need the gifts
352
00:14:52.610 --> 00:14:53.900
of the spirit today.
353
00:14:53.900 --> 00:14:56.300
And there are available to us.
354
00:14:56.300 --> 00:14:58.820
Now, I will say this, one
355
00:14:58.820 --> 00:15:01.610
of my earliest preaching memories was preaching in a
356
00:15:02.450 --> 00:15:04.040
cessationist church.
357
00:15:04.040 --> 00:15:05.810
And so this church did not
358
00:15:05.810 --> 00:15:07.130
believe in the gifts of the spirit.
359
00:15:07.130 --> 00:15:10.130
So respectfully, I showed
up as a young minister
360
00:15:10.130 --> 00:15:13.340
to just simply preach the
message that God had given me.
361
00:15:13.340 --> 00:15:15.260
But I gave an invitation to pray
362
00:15:15.260 --> 00:15:18.200
for people at the end of the service.
363
00:15:18.200 --> 00:15:20.450
And I just went from person to person.
364
00:15:20.450 --> 00:15:22.910
I laid my hand on their head
and began to pray for them.
365
00:15:22.910 --> 00:15:25.400
Well, I got to this one teenage girl.
366
00:15:25.400 --> 00:15:26.900
As soon as I laid my hand on her head,
367
00:15:26.900 --> 00:15:29.420
she just spontaneously
started speaking in tongues.
368
00:15:29.420 --> 00:15:31.310
And I started to sweat
369
00:15:31.310 --> 00:15:34.100
because some of the eldership
of that church were there for
370
00:15:34.100 --> 00:15:35.780
that service, just watching.
371
00:15:35.780 --> 00:15:38.210
And then I went to the next
person, prayed for them,
372
00:15:38.210 --> 00:15:39.680
they started to speak in tongues.
373
00:15:39.680 --> 00:15:43.580
And you know, that it, it
complicated their theology,
374
00:15:43.580 --> 00:15:45.020
I'll to say the least.
375
00:15:45.020 --> 00:15:47.600
But I wanna honor those elders
376
00:15:47.600 --> 00:15:50.960
because they witnessed me
not even talk about the gifts
377
00:15:50.960 --> 00:15:53.630
of the spirit, not even talk
about speaking in tongues.
378
00:15:53.630 --> 00:15:55.400
I just simply laid my hands on them
379
00:15:55.400 --> 00:15:57.440
and begin to pray for those people.
380
00:15:57.440 --> 00:16:01.610
And they, they went back,
they studied the scriptures,
381
00:16:01.610 --> 00:16:04.340
having seen this happen in real life.
382
00:16:04.340 --> 00:16:06.290
And do you know that
they actually changed the
383
00:16:06.290 --> 00:16:07.370
doctrine of their church?
384
00:16:07.370 --> 00:16:10.850
Wow. - And as a matter of
fact, even changed the name
385
00:16:10.850 --> 00:16:13.370
of the church because it was connected to
386
00:16:13.370 --> 00:16:14.630
their denomination.
387
00:16:14.630 --> 00:16:17.480
And they have a heritage now
of the gifts of the spirit.
388
00:16:17.480 --> 00:16:20.270
And they've been telling
that story for over 20 years.
389
00:16:20.270 --> 00:16:22.220
Mike, when I grew up,
I grew up in a church
390
00:16:22.220 --> 00:16:23.840
that was cessationist.
391
00:16:23.840 --> 00:16:26.300
And we thought that people
who spoke in tongues
392
00:16:26.300 --> 00:16:29.210
and people who believed in
all this supernatural stuff,
393
00:16:29.210 --> 00:16:31.610
these were just people
with really bad doctrine
394
00:16:31.610 --> 00:16:35.390 line:15%
and just immature, unstable people.
395
00:16:35.390 --> 00:16:37.880 line:15%
I mean, we really, really believed
396
00:16:37.880 --> 00:16:40.310 line:15%
they were like second class Christians
397
00:16:40.310 --> 00:16:41.720 line:15%
and they were so emotional.
398
00:16:41.720 --> 00:16:43.610 line:15%
They were up one day, they
were down the next day.
399
00:16:43.610 --> 00:16:45.950 line:15%
And unfortunately some
of that was the truth.
400
00:16:45.950 --> 00:16:50.270
And we just really disdained
them and looked down on them.
401
00:16:50.270 --> 00:16:52.460
And in fact, we were such cessationists:
402
00:16:52.460 --> 00:16:54.530
I lived in Tulsa, Oklahoma,
403
00:16:54.530 --> 00:16:56.540
and in Tulsa there were big healing ministries:
404
00:16:56.540 --> 00:17:00.440
Oral Roberts, TL Osborn, Kenneth Hagen, they were all there.
405
00:17:00.440 --> 00:17:03.080
And it was really the heyday of those ministries.
406
00:17:03.080 --> 00:17:07.970
And our pastor, whom I love, he was so precious
407
00:17:07.970 --> 00:17:09.590
and made an impact on my life.
408
00:17:09.590 --> 00:17:11.450
But he was such a cessationist,
409
00:17:11.450 --> 00:17:15.710
he would tell Oral Roberts healing jokes from the pulpit.
410
00:17:15.710 --> 00:17:19.220
And I mean, the church would just slap their knees laughing.
411
00:17:19.220 --> 00:17:21.410
And some of those jokes were really funny.
412
00:17:21.410 --> 00:17:25.010
And to me, it's hysterical that years later, Oral
413
00:17:25.010 --> 00:17:26.870
and Richard became my good friends.
414
00:17:26.870 --> 00:17:29.180
Richard Roberts is my
very, very good friend.
415
00:17:29.180 --> 00:17:31.610
And I know Pastor Hagin, I knew Brother Hagin
416
00:17:31.610 --> 00:17:35.360
and the Osborn's are so precious, these are great people
417
00:17:35.360 --> 00:17:36.920
who really move in the power of God.
418
00:17:36.920 --> 00:17:39.350
But we were cessationists.
419
00:17:39.350 --> 00:17:42.590
And I wanna tell you a funny
story, kind of a tragic story.
420
00:17:42.590 --> 00:17:46.460
Denise and I had been
involved in a church in the
421
00:17:46.460 --> 00:17:49.020
United States in its formative years,
422
00:17:49.020 --> 00:17:50.490
and it really had the fire of God.
423
00:17:50.490 --> 00:17:55.490
I mean, it was a blaze, but
we hadn't been there for years
424
00:17:55.530 --> 00:17:57.660
because we live in the Russia, it's,
425
00:17:57.660 --> 00:18:00.180
we just can't get
everywhere like we used to.
426
00:18:00.180 --> 00:18:01.800
So we went back to the United States
427
00:18:01.800 --> 00:18:03.090
and they invited us to come.
428
00:18:03.090 --> 00:18:06.030
So we went and I was in the service.
429
00:18:06.900 --> 00:18:09.930
And boy, things just seemed so different.
430
00:18:09.930 --> 00:18:12.600
It seemed really dead - dead.
431
00:18:13.440 --> 00:18:15.990
But the last time we were there, it was really on fire.
432
00:18:15.990 --> 00:18:18.720
I didn't sense any power, any mo anointing.
433
00:18:18.720 --> 00:18:21.270
So Denise got up to sing, and
434
00:18:21.270 --> 00:18:25.590
before she sang, she said,
let's all pray in the spirit,
435
00:18:25.590 --> 00:18:27.780
she was the only one
praying in the spirit.
436
00:18:27.780 --> 00:18:29.790
It was totally silent.
437
00:18:29.790 --> 00:18:31.080
And the pastor got up
438
00:18:31.080 --> 00:18:34.920
and said, now I know that you
don't know what she just did.
439
00:18:34.920 --> 00:18:36.210
I thought, why? What do you mean? How?
440
00:18:36.210 --> 00:18:37.590
How could they not know?
441
00:18:38.700 --> 00:18:42.300
He said, we now have become cessationists.
442
00:18:42.300 --> 00:18:46.050
And I thought, oh, brother,
brother, no wonder, it feels
443
00:18:46.050 --> 00:18:47.880
so dead here.
444
00:18:47.880 --> 00:18:51.360
And I know that there are many
cessationists that love Jesus
445
00:18:51.360 --> 00:18:53.250
and they evangelize,
446
00:18:53.250 --> 00:18:57.540
but they are missing a very
important part of the power
447
00:18:57.540 --> 00:18:59.250
of God in their lives.
448
00:18:59.250 --> 00:19:02.130
And this issue of tongues
is really important.
449
00:19:02.130 --> 00:19:03.990
But thank you for answering the question.
450
00:19:03.990 --> 00:19:06.270
Now I wanna ask you another question.
451
00:19:06.270 --> 00:19:10.560
Can you give me a story about a perpetual revival?
452
00:19:10.560 --> 00:19:12.210
Does it really exist?
453
00:19:13.290 --> 00:19:15.870
Perpetual Revival does exist,
454
00:19:15.870 --> 00:19:18.150
and I just want to encourage you
455
00:19:18.150 --> 00:19:21.030
because you know, people would
think that revival just has
456
00:19:21.030 --> 00:19:23.100
to be this really powerful church service
457
00:19:23.100 --> 00:19:24.780
that sometimes happen.
458
00:19:24.780 --> 00:19:29.070
But this book really is an
invitation to reimagine,
459
00:19:29.070 --> 00:19:31.560
you know, what revival really can
460
00:19:31.560 --> 00:19:32.850
be and what that looks like.
461
00:19:32.850 --> 00:19:35.400
Not just one day a week
or one time a year,
462
00:19:35.400 --> 00:19:36.990
but every day of the week.
463
00:19:36.990 --> 00:19:39.360
And you know, the problems that you face,
464
00:19:39.360 --> 00:19:41.100
you were created to solve.
465
00:19:41.100 --> 00:19:43.950
And I believe that, you
know, just like you read the,
466
00:19:43.950 --> 00:19:46.650
the end of the book in the
last program, it's like,
467
00:19:46.650 --> 00:19:50.400
some people call it adversity,
but we call it opportunity.
468
00:19:50.400 --> 00:19:52.950
You know, some people
call it impossibility,
469
00:19:52.950 --> 00:19:55.620
but we call it a divine inspiration
470
00:19:55.620 --> 00:19:57.360
and an opportunity for God.
471
00:19:57.360 --> 00:20:00.450
And I'm living this perpetual revival.
472
00:20:00.450 --> 00:20:02.520
I mean, listen, I came to New York City,
473
00:20:02.520 --> 00:20:05.430
my car died in Times Square
474
00:20:05.430 --> 00:20:07.200
because we didn't even have enough money
475
00:20:07.200 --> 00:20:08.460
to have a decent car.
476
00:20:08.460 --> 00:20:12.180
And yet we're living in
perpetual reality of revival
477
00:20:12.180 --> 00:20:15.180
because one day at a time
we say, okay, God, you know,
478
00:20:15.180 --> 00:20:18.120
wherever I go, I'm gonna say yes to you.
479
00:20:18.120 --> 00:20:21.000
And right here, even in my
neighborhood in New York City,
480
00:20:21.000 --> 00:20:24.060
they people who've never
even seen me on YouTube, some
481
00:20:24.060 --> 00:20:26.190
of them call me Father Mike,
482
00:20:26.190 --> 00:20:28.470
because they know that I'm some kind of pastor of a church
483
00:20:28.470 --> 00:20:30.900
and they ask me, can
you pray for my cancer?
484
00:20:30.900 --> 00:20:33.180 line:15%
And we're getting medically
verifiable miracles
485
00:20:33.180 --> 00:20:34.290 line:15%
even in the neighborhood.
486
00:20:34.290 --> 00:20:36.810 line:15%
And that's not because
I'm on television or
487
00:20:36.810 --> 00:20:39.690
because I'm on the internet,
it's because I'm available.
488
00:20:39.690 --> 00:20:43.440
I believe that our greatest
ability is our availability.
489
00:20:43.440 --> 00:20:47.230
And so you can live in revival
going to the grocery store
490
00:20:47.230 --> 00:20:50.020
for people, you know, going to the post office, praying
491
00:20:50.020 --> 00:20:53.830
for people, and that really is the story of my life,
492
00:20:53.830 --> 00:20:55.240
the story of V-1 Church.
493
00:20:55.240 --> 00:20:59.050
And we are just seeing other people now say, I, you know, I,
494
00:20:59.050 --> 00:21:02.110 line:15%
I have a, a dentist office that I go to
495
00:21:02.110 --> 00:21:05.710
and the dentist office I go to is just
496
00:21:06.550 --> 00:21:09.130
basically filled with
people who came from Russia
497
00:21:09.130 --> 00:21:10.870
to New York City.
498
00:21:10.870 --> 00:21:12.910
And it's funny because
there is a young girl
499
00:21:12.910 --> 00:21:15.370
that accepted Christ that
works at the front desk,
500
00:21:15.370 --> 00:21:20.110
and I have watched her single
handedly lead her entire staff
501
00:21:20.110 --> 00:21:21.340
to Jesus Christ.
502
00:21:21.340 --> 00:21:24.100
And now whenever I go
to the dentist, I have
503
00:21:24.100 --> 00:21:26.110
to answer all these Bible questions.
504
00:21:26.110 --> 00:21:28.720
I mean, literally the dentist
will be in my mouth working on
505
00:21:28.720 --> 00:21:30.550
my mouth, asking me questions,
506
00:21:30.550 --> 00:21:32.440
and I'm like, you have to
remove the tools from my
507
00:21:32.440 --> 00:21:33.940
mouth so I can answer.
508
00:21:33.940 --> 00:21:36.970
But that all happened,
not, not because of me, but
509
00:21:36.970 --> 00:21:39.700
because this young woman working at the front desk said,
510
00:21:39.700 --> 00:21:42.880
I'm gonna live in perpetual revival.
511
00:21:42.880 --> 00:21:46.240
She brings her devotional, she
brings her Bible every day,
512
00:21:46.240 --> 00:21:48.430
and she's invited people with her.
513
00:21:48.430 --> 00:21:51.670 line:15%
And you, many people will
probably never know her name,
514
00:21:51.670 --> 00:21:53.170
but heaven knows her name.
515
00:21:53.170 --> 00:21:54.970
And so for everyone watching right now,
516
00:21:54.970 --> 00:21:55.990 line:15%
this is an invitation
517
00:21:55.990 --> 00:21:58.840
that you can live in revival
every day of the week.
518
00:21:58.840 --> 00:22:00.430
You know, sometimes
people say to me, well,
519
00:22:00.430 --> 00:22:03.460
I just don't know why we
don't see more people healed.
520
00:22:03.460 --> 00:22:06.880
I know the answer. You got
your hands in your pockets.
521
00:22:06.880 --> 00:22:08.560
We're supposed to be
laying hands on people,
522
00:22:08.560 --> 00:22:10.780
get your hands outta your pockets.
523
00:22:10.780 --> 00:22:12.760
If you start laying hands on people,
524
00:22:12.760 --> 00:22:15.130
the percentages are going to go up.
525
00:22:15.130 --> 00:22:17.290
You're going to see God move.
526
00:22:17.290 --> 00:22:19.510
But as long as your hands in your pockets,
527
00:22:19.510 --> 00:22:21.280
you're not gonna see much activity.
528
00:22:21.280 --> 00:22:22.510
You've gotta surrender.
529
00:22:22.510 --> 00:22:25.540 line:15%
You gotta be like that girl, Lord, use me.
530
00:22:25.540 --> 00:22:26.980 line:15%
Get your hands outta your pockets,
531
00:22:26.980 --> 00:22:28.810 line:15%
open your eyes to see a need.
532
00:22:28.810 --> 00:22:30.550 line:15%
Speak to those that are in need.
533
00:22:30.550 --> 00:22:32.590 line:15%
Hey, people are needy
534
00:22:32.590 --> 00:22:34.570 line:15%
and people are really looking for help.
535
00:22:34.570 --> 00:22:36.970 line:15%
And our call is to rescue the perishing
536
00:22:36.970 --> 00:22:39.280 line:15%
and care for the dying.
537
00:22:39.280 --> 00:22:42.670 line:15%
And Brother Mike, would you
please pray for my viewers
538
00:22:42.670 --> 00:22:45.790 line:15%
before we wrap it up today?
Would you pray for them?
539
00:22:45.790 --> 00:22:46.960
Yes, absolutely.
540
00:22:46.960 --> 00:22:49.390
I believe that a holy hunger was stirring
541
00:22:49.390 --> 00:22:50.650
on the inside of you.
542
00:22:50.650 --> 00:22:53.170
As you watch this, you
said, okay, God enough
543
00:22:53.170 --> 00:22:56.410
with the games, enough
being lukewarm, I want
544
00:22:56.410 --> 00:22:58.210
to be fiery hot for you.
545
00:22:58.210 --> 00:23:00.880 line:15%
And so you can't start a fire
if you don't have a fire.
546
00:23:00.880 --> 00:23:02.110 line:15%
So I wanna pray for you right now.
547
00:23:02.110 --> 00:23:03.700 line:15%
Heavenly Father, I pray
548
00:23:03.700 --> 00:23:06.160 line:15%
for every single person
watching right now,
549
00:23:06.160 --> 00:23:08.440 line:15%
that revival would start in their heart,
550
00:23:08.440 --> 00:23:10.480 line:15%
revival would start in their mind,
551
00:23:10.480 --> 00:23:12.250 line:15%
revival would start in their hands.
552
00:23:12.250 --> 00:23:15.550 line:15%
God set him ablaze with the
fire of your Holy Spirit.
553
00:23:15.550 --> 00:23:17.980 line:15%
Lord, I thank you that
many are receiving the gift
554
00:23:17.980 --> 00:23:19.420 line:15%
of tongues right now.
555
00:23:19.420 --> 00:23:20.890 line:15%
If you're watching at home, just begin
556
00:23:20.890 --> 00:23:22.810 line:15%
to speak it out right where you're at.
557
00:23:22.810 --> 00:23:24.970 line:15%
Just let it flow. The Bible says, rivers
558
00:23:24.970 --> 00:23:27.820 line:15%
of living water will flow from your belly,
559
00:23:27.820 --> 00:23:29.290 line:15%
and so just let it flow.
560
00:23:29.290 --> 00:23:32.500 line:15%
Father, I thank you that
the gifts have not ceased,
561
00:23:32.500 --> 00:23:36.100 line:15%
but they're active around the
world right now undeniably.
562
00:23:36.100 --> 00:23:38.350 line:15%
Lord, I thank you for healing their bodies
563
00:23:38.350 --> 00:23:40.660 line:15%
and giving them the
gift of healing to pray
564
00:23:40.660 --> 00:23:41.800 line:15%
for other people.
565
00:23:41.800 --> 00:23:43.420 line:15%
And God, we give you all the glory
566
00:23:43.420 --> 00:23:45.830 line:15%
and all the honor for
what you're doing now.
567
00:23:45.830 --> 00:23:48.110 line:15%
In Jesus' name, amen.
568
00:23:49.190 --> 00:23:52.525 line:15%
Mike, thank you for
being with me. Thank you.
569
00:23:52.525 --> 00:23:55.280 line:15%
Thank you so much.
Thank you so much, Mike.
570
00:23:55.280 --> 00:23:56.360 line:15%
I know you're a busy man.
571
00:23:56.360 --> 00:23:58.430 line:15%
I'm grateful that you were with me
572
00:23:58.430 --> 00:23:59.810 line:15%
and that you were with my friends,
573
00:23:59.810 --> 00:24:02.450
thank you. Friends, I'll be back in just a moment
574
00:24:02.450 --> 00:24:03.710
and I'm going to pray for you.
575
00:24:03.710 --> 00:24:05.630 line:15%
You were born for this moment.
576
00:24:05.630 --> 00:24:07.820 line:15%
You're not a victim of the End-Times,
577
00:24:07.820 --> 00:24:10.880 line:15%
but a powerful weapon in the hands of God.
578
00:24:10.880 --> 00:24:14.510 line:15%

Hey, this is Rick Renner
608
00:25:29.120 --> 00:25:32.090
and I am in the Production
Fulfillment part
609
00:25:32.090 --> 00:25:34.220
of the Tulsa Ministry headquarters,
610
00:25:34.220 --> 00:25:35.840
and I just love to come here
611
00:25:35.840 --> 00:25:39.380 line:15%
and see all these teaching resources.
612
00:25:39.380 --> 00:25:40.970 line:15%
My friends, we send them out
613
00:25:40.970 --> 00:25:45.080 line:15%
by 10 thousands every
month and every year.
614
00:25:45.080 --> 00:25:47.180 line:15%
It is just amazing
615
00:25:47.180 --> 00:25:51.560 line:15%
and it's a great honor that anyone would want our teaching.
616
00:25:51.560 --> 00:25:52.670 line:15%
It's very humbling
617
00:25:52.670 --> 00:25:55.640 line:15%
and I'm very grateful that
God is using our ministry
618
00:25:55.640 --> 00:25:58.970 line:15%
and our teaching to strengthen
lives around the world.
619
00:25:58.970 --> 00:26:03.710
And our partners are the
ones helping us to do it.
620
00:26:03.710 --> 00:26:07.040 line:15%
And right now we're trying
to pay off this facility
621
00:26:07.040 --> 00:26:10.460 line:15%
so we can release more
funds to taking the teaching
622
00:26:10.460 --> 00:26:12.410 line:15%
of the Bible to the ends of the earth.
623
00:26:12.410 --> 00:26:15.230 line:15%
We've already paid off 84%
624
00:26:15.230 --> 00:26:17.210 line:15%
of our ministry expansion project,
625
00:26:17.210 --> 00:26:18.590 line:15%
but we'd like to finish it.
626
00:26:18.590 --> 00:26:21.290 line:15%
And if you're not a part of
the Giving Team yet today,
627
00:26:21.290 --> 00:26:23.450
I want to ask you to join our giving team
628
00:26:23.450 --> 00:26:25.970 line:15%
so we can pay off this facility
629
00:26:25.970 --> 00:26:29.690
and release all those funds
into taking the teaching
630
00:26:29.690 --> 00:26:32.450 line:15%
of the Bible to the ends of the earth.
631
00:26:40.730 --> 00:26:43.740
Wow, that time with Mike was really today.
632
00:26:43.740 --> 00:26:46.230
I wish I had more time to be with him
633
00:26:46.230 --> 00:26:47.820
and that you could hear
what he has to say,
634
00:26:47.820 --> 00:26:51.870
but he has a new book
called Fire Starters.
635
00:26:51.870 --> 00:26:55.200 line:15%
Don't You love that? God wants each of us
636
00:26:55.200 --> 00:26:59.160 line:15%
to be a fire starter everywhere we go.
637
00:26:59.160 --> 00:27:01.050 line:15%
His book is amazing.
638
00:27:01.050 --> 00:27:05.400 line:15%
And this is the conclusion
of the 10 part series,
639
00:27:05.400 --> 00:27:08.850 line:15%
which is called A Prophetic
View of the Future.
640
00:27:08.850 --> 00:27:11.670 line:15%
Jesus said, if you have ears to hear, hear
641
00:27:11.670 --> 00:27:14.160 line:15%
what the Spirit is saying to the church. We need
642
00:27:14.160 --> 00:27:15.750 line:15%
to have ears to hear.
643
00:27:15.750 --> 00:27:17.340 line:15%
And I believe that God is speaking
644
00:27:17.340 --> 00:27:20.550 line:15%
through these five young men
that I've had on my programs.
645
00:27:20.550 --> 00:27:22.260 line:15%
I've really been listening
646
00:27:22.260 --> 00:27:25.170 line:15%
and I pray that it's been
a blessing to you as well.
647
00:27:25.170 --> 00:27:26.850 line:15%
But if you want to know
more about Mike's book
648
00:27:26.850 --> 00:27:29.910 line:15%
or this series, go
online or give us a call
649
00:27:29.910 --> 00:27:32.100 line:15%
and please let us know how to pray for you
650
00:27:32.100 --> 00:27:34.410 line:15%
because we're waiting to
pray for you right now.
651
00:27:34.410 --> 00:27:37.470 line:15%
Call the number or send us an email.
652
00:27:37.470 --> 00:27:39.240 line:15%
Thank you for being with us.
653
00:27:39.240 --> 00:27:41.670 line:15%
I speak the blessing of God to you.
654
00:27:41.670 --> 00:27:45.240 line:15%
And remember, Ecclesiastes 8:4 says, "Where the word
655
00:27:45.240 --> 00:27:48.570
of your king is, there is power."
656
00:27:48.570 --> 00:27:50.790 line:15%
If you've never received
Jesus as your Savior
657
00:27:50.790 --> 00:27:55.170 line:15%
and Lord, now is the time for
you to experience a new life
658
00:27:55.170 --> 00:27:57.360 line:15%
Jesus has to give you.
659
00:27:57.360 --> 00:28:01.410 line:15%
Pray this prayer with me right now - Lord,
660
00:28:01.410 --> 00:28:05.460 line:15%
I repent of my sin and receive you as my Savior
661
00:28:05.460 --> 00:28:08.400 line:15%
and Lord. Wash away my sin
662
00:28:08.400 --> 00:28:11.430 line:15%
and make me completely new.
663
00:28:11.430 --> 00:28:15.330 line:15%
I thank you that my sin is removed
664
00:28:15.330 --> 00:28:20.330 line:15%
and Satan no longer has any
right to lay claim on me.
665
00:28:20.790 --> 00:28:24.750 line:15%
I faithfully promise that I will serve you as my Lord
666
00:28:24.750 --> 00:28:26.430 line:15%
for the rest of my life.
667
00:28:27.330 --> 00:28:28.163 line:15%
Amen.
