00:00:04.320 --> 00:00:08.370 line:15%
of the God called partners
of Renner Ministries.
3
00:00:08.370 --> 00:00:11.610 line:15%
Get ready for a teaching
that feeds your spirit
4
00:00:11.610 --> 00:00:15.180 line:15%
and your mind where the
word is the anchor in
5
00:00:15.180 --> 00:00:17.160 line:15%
uncertain times
6
00:00:17.160 --> 00:00:20.460 line:15%
and doctrine doesn't bend to culture.
7
00:00:20.460 --> 00:00:21.870 line:15%
We keep it simple,
8
00:00:21.870 --> 00:00:26.870 line:15%
but dive deep revealing a truth that strengthens us,
9
00:00:27.330 --> 00:00:29.220 line:15%
a love that emboldens,
10
00:00:30.360 --> 00:00:32.520 line:15%
and a mission that touches the world.
11
00:00:34.830 --> 00:00:36.360 line:15%
Let's join Rick Renner.
12
00:00:38.280 --> 00:00:42.660
Hey friends, it's Friday,
it's the end of the week.
13
00:00:42.660 --> 00:00:45.870
It seems like this week
has just gone like that,
14
00:00:45.870 --> 00:00:48.660
and I have enjoyed these programs so much
15
00:00:48.660 --> 00:00:51.750
and I'm talking about the
new series I'm teaching,
16
00:00:51.750 --> 00:00:54.390 line:15%
which is called, What Jesus Said
17
00:00:54.390 --> 00:00:58.080 line:15%
about getting a grip on your mouth.
18
00:00:58.080 --> 00:01:00.960 line:15%
Have you enjoyed this
series? Have you said amen?
19
00:01:00.960 --> 00:01:03.840 line:15%
Or have you said, oh my, you know,
20
00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:05.670 line:15%
we've all had the experience
21
00:01:05.670 --> 00:01:08.310 line:15%
of saying things we shouldn't say
22
00:01:08.310 --> 00:01:09.930 line:15%
and that's why we need to know how
23
00:01:09.930 --> 00:01:12.030 line:15%
to get a grip on our mouth.
24
00:01:12.030 --> 00:01:15.450 line:15%
And we've been looking this
week at what Jesus had to say
25
00:01:15.450 --> 00:01:17.220 line:15%
about getting a grip on your mouth.
26
00:01:17.220 --> 00:01:20.520 line:15%
This is a five part series,
comes in all kinds of formats
27
00:01:20.520 --> 00:01:22.800 line:15%
with a tremendous study guide.
28
00:01:22.800 --> 00:01:26.130 line:15%
And I've also been telling you
every day this week about the
29
00:01:26.130 --> 00:01:30.600 line:15%
book by Joyce Meyer, that
is called Power Words.
30
00:01:30.600 --> 00:01:34.200 line:15%
My Friends, did you know
your words have the power
31
00:01:34.200 --> 00:01:35.910 line:15%
to sculpt your life?
32
00:01:35.910 --> 00:01:40.470 line:15%
And in this book called Power
Words, Joyce really recommends
33
00:01:40.470 --> 00:01:43.080 line:15%
what you ought to be
saying to sculpt your world
34
00:01:43.080 --> 00:01:44.550 line:15%
for a better life.
35
00:01:44.550 --> 00:01:47.610 line:15%
And what you should not
be saying, my friends,
36
00:01:47.610 --> 00:01:50.250 line:15%
that is the power of your words.
37
00:01:50.250 --> 00:01:53.640 line:15%
What you say can change your life.
38
00:01:53.640 --> 00:01:57.270 line:15%
And that's why I'm telling you
about Joyce's wonderful book.
39
00:01:57.270 --> 00:01:59.940 line:15%
By the way, I love Joyce
Meyer. She's our dear friend.
40
00:01:59.940 --> 00:02:02.280 line:15%
But if you wanna know
more about these products,
41
00:02:02.280 --> 00:02:06.570
just go online or you can
give us a call right now.
42
00:02:06.570 --> 00:02:09.300 line:15%
And when you call the
number on the screen,
43
00:02:09.300 --> 00:02:10.770 line:15%
let us know how to pray for you.
44
00:02:10.770 --> 00:02:12.780 line:15%
Or if you wish, you can
just send us an email.
45
00:02:12.780 --> 00:02:15.930 line:15%
Either way, we're gonna
pray for you and friends.
46
00:02:15.930 --> 00:02:18.450 line:15%
I mean, we're gonna
ferociously pray for you.
47
00:02:18.450 --> 00:02:21.930 line:15%
I promise you that when we say we pray,
48
00:02:21.930 --> 00:02:23.700 line:15%
we really pray
49
00:02:23.700 --> 00:02:25.800 line:15%
and we would just be honored to pray
50
00:02:25.800 --> 00:02:27.930 line:15%
with you about anything you're dealing
51
00:02:27.930 --> 00:02:29.160 line:15%
with in your life right now.
52
00:02:29.160 --> 00:02:32.520 line:15%
So call the number on the
screen or send us an email
53
00:02:32.520 --> 00:02:34.680
and reach for your Bible.
54
00:02:34.680 --> 00:02:38.010 line:15%
We always use the Bible in this program
55
00:02:38.010 --> 00:02:41.250
and we're really believing for
the verse by verse teaching
56
00:02:41.250 --> 00:02:43.560 line:15%
of the Bible to be fully restored
57
00:02:43.560 --> 00:02:46.020 line:15%
to the pulpit all across America
58
00:02:46.020 --> 00:02:47.400 line:15%
because people need the verse
59
00:02:47.400 --> 00:02:48.750 line:15%
by verse teaching of the Bible.
60
00:02:48.750 --> 00:02:50.760
And when you're a partner
with our ministry,
61
00:02:50.760 --> 00:02:53.910 line:15%
you're helping us take
the line by line teaching
62
00:02:53.910 --> 00:02:56.220 line:15%
of the scripture to
people all over the world.
63
00:02:56.220 --> 00:02:57.900 line:15%
And I wanna say thank you partner.
64
00:02:57.900 --> 00:03:00.250 line:15%
And if you're not a partner yet, please,
65
00:03:00.250 --> 00:03:02.710 line:15%
please pray about becoming a partner.
66
00:03:02.710 --> 00:03:04.600 line:15%
You can become a partner by going online
67
00:03:04.600 --> 00:03:05.950 line:15%
or by giving us a call.
68
00:03:05.950 --> 00:03:09.040 line:15%
But let's go back to our verses
69
00:03:09.040 --> 00:03:11.440 line:15%
that we've been reviewing
every day this week.
70
00:03:11.440 --> 00:03:12.850 line:15%
By the way, today is called the Power
71
00:03:12.850 --> 00:03:14.530 line:15%
of Controlling Your Mouth.
72
00:03:14.530 --> 00:03:16.330
Now I'm gonna review these same verses
73
00:03:16.330 --> 00:03:17.890
that we have covered every day.
74
00:03:17.890 --> 00:03:20.380
And you might say, why
are you repeating these
75
00:03:20.380 --> 00:03:21.670
verses every day?
76
00:03:21.670 --> 00:03:25.240
Because you need to hear
them hundreds of times.
77
00:03:25.240 --> 00:03:28.300
You need to really get these
verses down deep inside you.
78
00:03:28.300 --> 00:03:30.850
These verses will affect your life.
79
00:03:30.850 --> 00:03:33.940 line:15%
In Proverbs 6:2, it says, thou art snared
80
00:03:33.940 --> 00:03:36.580 line:15%
with the words of thy
mouth, thou are taken
81
00:03:36.580 --> 00:03:38.530 line:15%
with the words of thy mouth.
82
00:03:38.530 --> 00:03:40.870 line:15%
And many times were snared
83
00:03:40.870 --> 00:03:44.260
because of something we said
that we should not have said.
84
00:03:44.260 --> 00:03:46.450 line:15%
Or Proverbs 18:7 says,
85
00:03:46.450 --> 00:03:49.810 line:15%
A fool's mouth is his ruin
86
00:03:49.810 --> 00:03:54.070 line:15%
and his lips are snare to his soul.
87
00:03:54.070 --> 00:03:58.060
People get themselves in trouble because of what they say.
88
00:03:58.060 --> 00:04:02.620 line:15%
Or how about Proverbs 21:23 - Whoso keeps his mouth
89
00:04:02.620 --> 00:04:06.370 line:15%
and his tongue keeps
his soul from troubles?
90
00:04:06.370 --> 00:04:07.720 line:15%
You know, if you just zip your lips
91
00:04:07.720 --> 00:04:10.660
and be quiet, you'll avoid a mess.
92
00:04:10.660 --> 00:04:14.740
Or how about James 1:19?
93
00:04:14.740 --> 00:04:16.360
And again, we've covered this every day.
94
00:04:16.360 --> 00:04:19.540
This week we're gonna quickly cover it again right now. It
95
00:04:19.540 --> 00:04:22.720 line:15%
says, wherefore my beloved brethren, let every man be swift
96
00:04:22.720 --> 00:04:24.670 line:15%
to here, slow to speak, slow to wrath.
97
00:04:24.670 --> 00:04:26.620 line:15%
And again, we've seen there's only one thing
98
00:04:26.620 --> 00:04:29.050 line:15%
this verse tells us to do quickly - we're
99
00:04:29.050 --> 00:04:31.270
to be swift to here.
100
00:04:31.270 --> 00:04:34.210 line:15%
And that word, swift, the Greek word tachus, means
101
00:04:34.210 --> 00:04:36.490 line:15%
to move your feet as fast as you can.
102
00:04:36.490 --> 00:04:39.460 line:15%
It pictures a runner who's running toward the finish line.
103
00:04:39.460 --> 00:04:41.740 line:15%
And because he wants to finish first,
104
00:04:41.740 --> 00:04:43.450 line:15%
he removes all distractions.
105
00:04:43.450 --> 00:04:47.800 line:15%
He really focuses on what
is in front of him and
106
00:04:47.800 --> 00:04:50.710
therefore contained in this word swiftly,
107
00:04:50.710 --> 00:04:52.870
it really means for you to properly hear
108
00:04:52.870 --> 00:04:56.110
and to really understand
what's being said to you,
109
00:04:56.110 --> 00:04:58.030
you gotta remove distractions.
110
00:04:58.030 --> 00:05:00.910
You gotta really focus when
somebody is speaking to you.
111
00:05:00.910 --> 00:05:02.650 line:15%
And the word hear in
this verse is the form
112
00:05:02.650 --> 00:05:04.180 line:15%
of the Greek word akouo.
113
00:05:04.180 --> 00:05:06.220 line:15%
It's where we get the word acoustics,
114
00:05:06.220 --> 00:05:08.680 line:15%
but it's not just, I hear it describes one
115
00:05:08.680 --> 00:05:10.900 line:15%
who really comprehends what is being said.
116
00:05:10.900 --> 00:05:12.970 line:15%
And I want to tell you again today,
117
00:05:12.970 --> 00:05:15.790
if you do not understand
what's being said,
118
00:05:15.790 --> 00:05:18.700 line:15%
you don't pretend like you understand.
119
00:05:18.700 --> 00:05:19.840 line:15%
That's not gonna help you
120
00:05:19.840 --> 00:05:21.790
and that's not gonna
help the other person.
121
00:05:21.790 --> 00:05:24.340
You need to simply say,
I'm not getting it.
122
00:05:24.340 --> 00:05:25.960
Can you please restate that?
123
00:05:25.960 --> 00:05:27.460
Or, I think I know what you mean,
124
00:05:27.460 --> 00:05:29.530 line:15%
but can you just say it one more time
125
00:05:29.530 --> 00:05:33.040
so I'm really sure I understand. The person that is speaking
126
00:05:33.040 --> 00:05:34.420
to you will appreciate the fact
127
00:05:34.420 --> 00:05:36.190
that you wanted to understand.
128
00:05:36.190 --> 00:05:38.320
And then James says, you're to be slow
129
00:05:38.320 --> 00:05:39.580 line:15%
to speak and slow to wrath.
130
00:05:39.580 --> 00:05:44.320
And the word slow in both cases is the Greek word bradus.
131
00:05:44.320 --> 00:05:47.230 line:15%
And that word bradus, describes one that is slow, one
132
00:05:47.230 --> 00:05:50.500 line:15%
that is dull, one that is sluggish or mentally handicapped
133
00:05:50.500 --> 00:05:52.510 line:15%
or somehow physically handicapped.
134
00:05:52.510 --> 00:05:55.510
Handicapped in such a way
that they can't just seem
135
00:05:55.510 --> 00:05:57.530
to get the words out.
136
00:05:57.530 --> 00:05:59.946 line:15%
And the word speak, the Greek word lalesi,
137
00:05:59.946 --> 00:06:01.279 line:15%
from the word laleo.
138
00:06:01.279 --> 00:06:03.740 line:15%
It means to chatter,
to converse or to talk.
139
00:06:03.740 --> 00:06:05.840 line:15%
And here James is really saying,
140
00:06:05.840 --> 00:06:08.840 line:15%
before you spout off, first of all,
141
00:06:08.840 --> 00:06:12.200
make sure you really hear
what is being said to you.
142
00:06:12.200 --> 00:06:16.730
And rather than quickly
recklessly and hastily respond
143
00:06:16.730 --> 00:06:20.330 line:15%
before you thought about what
you're gonna say, be slow
144
00:06:20.330 --> 00:06:24.050 line:15%
to speak, be slow to respond,
145
00:06:24.050 --> 00:06:25.340 line:15%
be slow to respond.
146
00:06:25.340 --> 00:06:29.180 line:15%
And it's okay to say, would
you please gimme a few minutes
147
00:06:29.180 --> 00:06:31.550 line:15%
to think about how I
need to respond to that?
148
00:06:31.550 --> 00:06:34.190 line:15%
That's good, that's wisdom.
149
00:06:34.190 --> 00:06:37.460 line:15%
And then James says, be slow to wrath. The word slow,
150
00:06:37.460 --> 00:06:40.190 line:15%
again, the Greek word bardus: you need to be sluggish,
151
00:06:40.190 --> 00:06:43.100
you need to be dull, you
need to be handicapped.
152
00:06:43.100 --> 00:06:46.610
When it comes to giving way to wrath: the word wrath,
153
00:06:46.610 --> 00:06:49.850 line:15%
the Greek word orge. It describes something all twisted
154
00:06:49.850 --> 00:06:51.050 line:15%
and all bent out of shape.
155
00:06:51.050 --> 00:06:53.570 line:15%
And friends, if you find
yourself getting all twisted
156
00:06:53.570 --> 00:06:57.320 line:15%
and bent out of shape in
a conversation for sure,
157
00:06:57.320 --> 00:06:59.930 line:15%
that is not the moment for you to respond
158
00:06:59.930 --> 00:07:01.730 line:15%
because you're probably
gonna say something you
159
00:07:01.730 --> 00:07:03.020 line:15%
later will regret.
160
00:07:03.020 --> 00:07:06.350
And the RIV of James one 19 is like this.
161
00:07:06.350 --> 00:07:11.060
But understand my dearly
beloved brothers that every one
162
00:07:11.060 --> 00:07:14.240 line:15%
of you needs to swiftly
run to here, attend to
163
00:07:14.240 --> 00:07:17.600 line:15%
and comprehend what is being communicated.
164
00:07:17.600 --> 00:07:20.990 line:15%
You need to zip your lips,
put a lid on your mouth
165
00:07:20.990 --> 00:07:25.220 line:15%
and learn how to slow down
in expressing your opinions.
166
00:07:25.220 --> 00:07:28.430 line:15%
You also need to intentionally
put on the brakes
167
00:07:28.430 --> 00:07:31.940 line:15%
to stop blowing your cool so easily.
168
00:07:32.810 --> 00:07:37.760
This verse is just profoundly
helpful, my friends,
169
00:07:37.760 --> 00:07:40.850
zip your lips, put a lid on your mouth,
170
00:07:40.850 --> 00:07:43.790
slow down in expressing your opinions
171
00:07:43.790 --> 00:07:46.670
and intentionally put on the brakes
172
00:07:46.670 --> 00:07:49.790
to stop blowing your cool so easily.
173
00:07:49.790 --> 00:07:51.890
That's the RIV of James 1:19.
174
00:07:51.890 --> 00:07:56.120
But now we're gonna go to James 3:5,
175
00:07:56.120 --> 00:07:58.820
where James elaborates
176
00:07:58.820 --> 00:08:01.730 line:15%
and he says, even so the
tongue is a little member
177
00:08:01.730 --> 00:08:04.190 line:15%
and boasteth great things. Behold,
178
00:08:04.190 --> 00:08:07.460 line:15%
how great a matter a little higher Kindle.
179
00:08:07.460 --> 00:08:08.660 line:15%
But when you come to verse 5
180
00:08:08.660 --> 00:08:10.940
and it says, behold the tongue, in Greek,
181
00:08:10.940 --> 00:08:12.620
there's a definite article,
182
00:08:12.620 --> 00:08:15.950 line:15%
which means it's almost like
James is lifting his voice.
183
00:08:15.950 --> 00:08:20.090 line:15%
He says, behold the tongue, the tongue.
184
00:08:20.090 --> 00:08:21.440 line:15%
And he's gonna talk about
185
00:08:21.440 --> 00:08:23.960 line:15%
how the tongue gets people into trouble.
186
00:08:23.960 --> 00:08:26.330
He says, it's a little member.
187
00:08:26.330 --> 00:08:28.520
The word little is derived from a form
188
00:08:28.520 --> 00:08:30.410
of the Greek word mikros.
189
00:08:30.410 --> 00:08:32.570 line:15%
It's where you get the
word for microscopic
190
00:08:32.570 --> 00:08:33.890 line:15%
or anything that is micro.
191
00:08:33.890 --> 00:08:35.840 line:15%
It's very, very small.
192
00:08:35.840 --> 00:08:38.390 line:15%
And notice he says it's a small member.
193
00:08:38.390 --> 00:08:40.850
The word member is the Greek word melos.
194
00:08:40.850 --> 00:08:44.150 line:15%
It describes a physical
organ. Here it is the tongue.
195
00:08:44.150 --> 00:08:48.920 line:15%
But this word melos is the same word used to describe
196
00:08:48.920 --> 00:08:50.480 line:15%
are you ready for this -
197
00:08:50.480 --> 00:08:54.690 line:15%
a part of a ship that caused
the ship to move forward.
198
00:08:54.690 --> 00:08:59.220
And it's true that words
cause things to move.
199
00:08:59.220 --> 00:09:03.060
Words cause action, they move things.
200
00:09:03.060 --> 00:09:07.590
But this word melos is also the word to describe weapons
201
00:09:07.590 --> 00:09:09.930
of war and words
202
00:09:09.930 --> 00:09:14.700
likewise, the tongue can
really ignite a battle.
203
00:09:14.700 --> 00:09:16.590
So if you use your tongue correctly,
204
00:09:16.590 --> 00:09:19.740
you can positively move things along.
205
00:09:19.740 --> 00:09:22.230
But if you use your tongue incorrectly,
206
00:09:22.230 --> 00:09:26.940
your tongue can ignite a battle or a war.
207
00:09:26.940 --> 00:09:31.830
That is the power of the
tongue, as James says.
208
00:09:31.830 --> 00:09:33.000
And he says, it's amazing
209
00:09:33.000 --> 00:09:37.380
because it is such mikros, it
is such a little tiny member
210
00:09:37.380 --> 00:09:39.180
of the body, but yet it has the power
211
00:09:39.180 --> 00:09:42.120
to move things along in a
good way or to start a fight
212
00:09:42.120 --> 00:09:43.830
or to start a battle.
213
00:09:43.830 --> 00:09:46.920
And then he goes on to say in verse 5,
214
00:09:46.920 --> 00:09:49.650 line:15%
and it boasteth great things.
215
00:09:49.650 --> 00:09:51.570 line:15%
The Greek would be better translated.
216
00:09:51.570 --> 00:09:56.570 line:15%
It is able to make a big
commotion or a big noise.
217
00:09:56.700 --> 00:09:58.110 line:15%
Well, we know that.
218
00:09:58.110 --> 00:10:02.550 line:15%
And verse 5 then goes on to say, behold
219
00:10:02.550 --> 00:10:05.700 line:15%
how great a matter a
little fire kindleth.
220
00:10:05.700 --> 00:10:09.570 line:15%
And the word behold is
James injecting his own
221
00:10:09.570 --> 00:10:10.800 line:15%
thought into the verse.
222
00:10:10.800 --> 00:10:12.600 line:15%
It's the Greek word idou.
223
00:10:12.600 --> 00:10:16.020 line:15%
It really means, wow, it is amazing.
224
00:10:16.020 --> 00:10:19.230
So even as James is writing,
he's really stepping back
225
00:10:19.230 --> 00:10:20.760
and looking at what he is writing.
226
00:10:20.760 --> 00:10:24.810
He says, wow, it's really
true. It is really the truth.
227
00:10:24.810 --> 00:10:29.010
How great a matter a little fire kindleth.
228
00:10:29.010 --> 00:10:32.070 line:15%
And then verse 6 says,
229
00:10:33.750 --> 00:10:38.040 line:15%
and the tongue is a fire. The
2 words, the tongue, again,
230
00:10:38.040 --> 00:10:39.720 line:15%
has a definite article.
231
00:10:39.720 --> 00:10:41.100 line:15%
It's like he's raising his voice.
232
00:10:41.100 --> 00:10:43.590 line:15%
He says, here we are again, the tongue.
233
00:10:43.590 --> 00:10:46.350 line:15%
The tongue is a fire.
234
00:10:46.350 --> 00:10:50.070
And then he says, it
is a world of iniquity.
235
00:10:50.070 --> 00:10:52.620
What in the world does that mean?
236
00:10:52.620 --> 00:10:54.000
Well, when you read this in the
237
00:10:54.000 --> 00:10:55.320 line:15%
Greek, it's very interesting.
238
00:10:55.320 --> 00:11:00.320 line:15%
It really describes a universe
of its own that is filled
239
00:11:00.330 --> 00:11:03.990 line:15%
with hurt, injustice,
wickedness and violations.
240
00:11:05.010 --> 00:11:08.580
And isn't that the truth? The
tongue is a world of its own.
241
00:11:08.580 --> 00:11:11.550
It's filled with hurt,
injustice, wickedness,
242
00:11:11.550 --> 00:11:13.020
and violations.
243
00:11:13.020 --> 00:11:16.503
And if you don't control the tongue he next says
244
00:11:16.503 --> 00:11:18.720
it defileth.
245
00:11:18.720 --> 00:11:20.970
And the word defileth in Greek is the word spilos.
246
00:11:20.970 --> 00:11:24.930 line:15%
It's where we get the word de
spill. It describes a stain.
247
00:11:24.930 --> 00:11:28.620 line:15%
It means to defile or to contaminate
248
00:11:28.620 --> 00:11:32.310 line:15%
or to spill something
that creates a stain.
249
00:11:33.750 --> 00:11:35.460 line:15%
You can really hurt
people with your words,
250
00:11:35.460 --> 00:11:38.760
you can stain them, you
can negatively affect them
251
00:11:38.760 --> 00:11:41.520
by speaking wrong words.
252
00:11:41.520 --> 00:11:44.010
And there's something else about a stain.
253
00:11:44.010 --> 00:11:46.050
You know, if you drop a glass
254
00:11:46.050 --> 00:11:48.510
of grape juice on white
carpet, it doesn't matter
255
00:11:48.510 --> 00:11:52.020
how hard you try to get the stain out,
256
00:11:52.020 --> 00:11:54.190
you're never gonna get that
grape juice completely out
257
00:11:54.190 --> 00:11:55.210 line:15%
of that white carpet.
258
00:11:55.210 --> 00:11:58.450
And every time you walk by that stain on that white carpet,
259
00:11:58.450 --> 00:12:03.450
that stain is gonna be a
reminder of a regretful event.
260
00:12:03.460 --> 00:12:06.700
And likewise, when you
speak words that are hurtful
261
00:12:06.700 --> 00:12:10.240
and defile other people,
it leaves a stain.
262
00:12:10.240 --> 00:12:11.800
It's hard for them to get over it.
263
00:12:11.800 --> 00:12:14.590
It's hard for them to forget those words.
264
00:12:14.590 --> 00:12:19.590
My friends, be very careful
with the tongue: the tongue.
265
00:12:19.660 --> 00:12:22.150
You can use your tongue to do good
266
00:12:22.150 --> 00:12:23.830
and to move things along in a right way,
267
00:12:23.830 --> 00:12:28.450
or you can use your tongue
to start a fight or a battle.
268
00:12:28.450 --> 00:12:31.870
And remember that if you
use your tongue wrongly,
269
00:12:31.870 --> 00:12:34.000
you're going to negatively
affect other people.
270
00:12:34.000 --> 00:12:37.930
That's what it means. It
defiles and my friends.
271
00:12:37.930 --> 00:12:41.740 line:15%
Not only that, James then
goes on in verse 6 and says -
272
00:12:41.740 --> 00:12:45.040 line:15%
and sets on fire the course of nature
273
00:12:45.040 --> 00:12:47.920 line:15%
and it is set on fire of hell.
274
00:12:47.920 --> 00:12:50.050 line:15%
When it says setteth on fire,
275
00:12:50.050 --> 00:12:52.750 line:15%
the Greek actually says it ignites,
276
00:12:52.750 --> 00:12:55.750 line:15%
it ignites raging passions.
277
00:12:56.860 --> 00:12:58.570 line:15%
Isn't that the truth?
278
00:12:58.570 --> 00:13:01.000
With one word, you can ignite something
279
00:13:01.000 --> 00:13:02.920
that you later regret.
280
00:13:02.920 --> 00:13:06.520 line:15%
And he goes on to say and
is set on fire of hell.
281
00:13:06.520 --> 00:13:10.540 line:15%
The Greek actually means - and being ignited
282
00:13:10.540 --> 00:13:13.390 line:15%
and inflamed by a hell itself.
283
00:13:14.410 --> 00:13:18.400
And the truth is hell is
always looking for a way
284
00:13:18.400 --> 00:13:20.860
to enter into relationships.
285
00:13:20.860 --> 00:13:24.580
And very often hell the
devil finds entrance into
286
00:13:24.580 --> 00:13:26.260
relationships.
287
00:13:26.260 --> 00:13:31.060
He finds entrance into society - how - through words.
288
00:13:31.060 --> 00:13:35.290
Words are powerful; words start wars,
289
00:13:36.250 --> 00:13:39.940
words can heal or words can kill.
290
00:13:39.940 --> 00:13:42.130
Words are that powerful.
291
00:13:42.130 --> 00:13:44.290
And the devil is always looking for a way
292
00:13:44.290 --> 00:13:46.690
to be injected into a conversation.
293
00:13:46.690 --> 00:13:47.980
Hell itself wants
294
00:13:47.980 --> 00:13:51.580
to get into every conversation
comes through the mouth.
295
00:13:51.580 --> 00:13:56.140
And then in verse 7, James says - For every kind of beast
296
00:13:56.140 --> 00:13:57.490 line:15%
and of birds and of serpents
297
00:13:57.490 --> 00:13:59.500 line:15%
and of things in the sea is tamed
298
00:13:59.500 --> 00:14:02.380 line:15%
and half been tamed of mankind.
299
00:14:02.380 --> 00:14:04.240
And if you look at these
categories, it's true.
300
00:14:04.240 --> 00:14:08.800
All of these things have been
tamed: beasts have been tamed.
301
00:14:08.800 --> 00:14:12.400
Birds can be taught to speak or to perform tricks.
302
00:14:12.400 --> 00:14:15.670
It's amazing what you can
do with birds. Serpents:
303
00:14:15.670 --> 00:14:19.060
you can even tame serpents
according to this verse:
304
00:14:19.060 --> 00:14:20.950
things in the sea.
305
00:14:20.950 --> 00:14:23.980
I remember when our son, Philip, was a young boy, I took him
306
00:14:23.980 --> 00:14:26.230
to a big aqua world
307
00:14:26.230 --> 00:14:30.340
and we watched whales jumping
through hoops of fire.
308
00:14:30.340 --> 00:14:34.030
That was amazing. Even
whales can be tamed.
309
00:14:34.030 --> 00:14:36.580
And the word tamed is a Greek word zo.
310
00:14:36.580 --> 00:14:38.710 line:15%
You know what that word, damadzo means?
311
00:14:38.710 --> 00:14:43.710 line:15%
It means to domesticate, to subdue, to bring under control.
312
00:14:43.870 --> 00:14:48.430 line:15%
It is the very word used
to describe animal trainers
313
00:14:48.430 --> 00:14:52.610 line:15%
who were experts at capturing
and domesticating the wildest
314
00:14:52.610 --> 00:14:56.390 line:15%
and most ferocious of beasts
such as lions, tigers,
315
00:14:56.390 --> 00:14:57.770 line:15%
and bears.
316
00:14:57.770 --> 00:14:59.360
It means to domesticate.
317
00:14:59.360 --> 00:15:01.970
And according to James 3:7,
318
00:15:01.970 --> 00:15:04.280
every kind of beast and
the birds and of serpents
319
00:15:04.280 --> 00:15:07.190
and of things in the
sea can be domesticated,
320
00:15:07.190 --> 00:15:10.850
can be subdued, and have been subdued
321
00:15:10.850 --> 00:15:12.860
and domesticated by mankind.
322
00:15:12.860 --> 00:15:14.390
Well, we all know that
all you have to do is go
323
00:15:14.390 --> 00:15:18.230
to the circus and you can see
animals doing amazing things,
324
00:15:18.230 --> 00:15:21.350
including lions, tigers, and bears.
325
00:15:21.350 --> 00:15:23.210 line:15%
But then James says in verse 8:
326
00:15:23.210 --> 00:15:26.630 line:15%
But the tongue can no man tame.
327
00:15:26.630 --> 00:15:30.110
And the word, but in Greek is
the little word de. It means -
328
00:15:30.110 --> 00:15:32.090 line:15%
But however, categorically,
329
00:15:32.090 --> 00:15:35.930 line:15%
emphatically the tongue,
330
00:15:35.930 --> 00:15:38.150
and once again, the tongue
has a definite article.
331
00:15:38.150 --> 00:15:39.680
It's like he's raising his voice.
332
00:15:39.680 --> 00:15:44.510
He's saying the tongue can no man tame.
333
00:15:44.510 --> 00:15:47.043 line:15%
No man - in Greek is the word oudeis.
334
00:15:47.043 --> 00:15:49.618 line:15%
It means absolutely no one.
335
00:15:49.618 --> 00:15:52.009 line:15%
And the word tame is again the Greek word damadzo,
336
00:15:52.009 --> 00:15:53.217 line:15%
which means
337
00:15:53.217 --> 00:15:57.440 line:15%
to domesticate, to subdue,
or to bring under control.
338
00:15:57.440 --> 00:16:00.050 line:15%
And then he adds in verse 8:
339
00:16:00.050 --> 00:16:02.330 line:15%
But the tongue can no man tame.
340
00:16:02.330 --> 00:16:07.040 line:15%
It is an unruly evil
full of deadly poison.
341
00:16:07.040 --> 00:16:10.190
And when he says unruly,
it describes something
342
00:16:10.190 --> 00:16:14.510 line:15%
that is unruly, uncontrollable or unpredictable.
343
00:16:17.060 --> 00:16:18.115 line:15%
Have you ever said something
344
00:16:18.115 --> 00:16:19.700
and you were shocked that you said
345
00:16:19.700 --> 00:16:20.780
that's what this word means?
346
00:16:20.780 --> 00:16:24.770 line:15%
It's unruly. And the word evil, the Greek word kakos,
347
00:16:24.770 --> 00:16:28.130 line:15%
it depicts words that
are bad or inappropriate.
348
00:16:28.130 --> 00:16:30.440 line:15%
Have you ever shocked yourself by bad
349
00:16:30.440 --> 00:16:32.840
or inappropriate words
coming out of your mouth
350
00:16:32.840 --> 00:16:35.630 line:15%
and then either goes on to
say that the tongue is full
351
00:16:35.630 --> 00:16:36.680 line:15%
of deadly poison?
352
00:16:36.680 --> 00:16:40.640 line:15%
The word fool, the Greek word
mestos, it means fully loaded
353
00:16:40.640 --> 00:16:44.900 line:15%
and deadly poison is from 2 very interesting Greek words.
354
00:16:44.900 --> 00:16:47.120 line:15%
First of all, the Greek word ios,
355
00:16:47.120 --> 00:16:50.300 line:15%
which depicts the poison of an asp.
356
00:16:50.300 --> 00:16:51.980 line:15%
Secondly, it is a Greek word,
357
00:16:51.980 --> 00:16:55.160 line:15%
which means it is death producing.
358
00:16:55.160 --> 00:16:59.210 line:15%
But this phrase was used by Greek writers
359
00:16:59.210 --> 00:17:02.780 line:15%
to depict arrows or
words that carry death.
360
00:17:04.250 --> 00:17:07.040 line:15%
Well, death and life are
in the power of the tongue.
361
00:17:07.040 --> 00:17:09.830
There are words which carry life,
362
00:17:09.830 --> 00:17:13.070
and there are words that carry death.
363
00:17:13.070 --> 00:17:16.760
And there's something else. When it says it's unruly full
364
00:17:16.760 --> 00:17:18.290
of deadly poison,
365
00:17:18.290 --> 00:17:20.960
it also describes the poison of an asp.
366
00:17:20.960 --> 00:17:24.950
You know, a poisonous
snake is a nervous snake.
367
00:17:24.950 --> 00:17:26.000
It's unpredictable.
368
00:17:26.000 --> 00:17:29.690
You never know when it's going
to strike. And its poison.
369
00:17:29.690 --> 00:17:31.580
Banks are in the head
370
00:17:31.580 --> 00:17:35.750
and those poison banks are loaded just like this verse says,
371
00:17:35.750 --> 00:17:38.630
loaded with deadly poison.
372
00:17:38.630 --> 00:17:40.370
And when a viper strikes
373
00:17:40.370 --> 00:17:43.700
and bites, he pushes down with his mouth.
374
00:17:43.700 --> 00:17:46.070
And when he does, the
fangs go into the victim
375
00:17:46.070 --> 00:17:48.320
and pushing down on the victim.
376
00:17:48.320 --> 00:17:51.450
He unloads all those
poison banks in his head,
377
00:17:51.450 --> 00:17:53.580
threw those fangs into the victim,
378
00:17:54.420 --> 00:17:57.330
and the victim then is
poisoned with death.
379
00:17:58.170 --> 00:18:01.740
How many times have you found
yourself saying something
380
00:18:01.740 --> 00:18:04.050
and you didn't just say it, but you said it and you said it
381
00:18:04.050 --> 00:18:07.020
and you said it, and you said
it, pressing down into the
382
00:18:07.020 --> 00:18:09.480
person that you're talking to, unloading
383
00:18:09.480 --> 00:18:12.900
and ejecting into them
everything you feel.
384
00:18:12.900 --> 00:18:14.670
And when you were finished,
385
00:18:14.670 --> 00:18:17.910
you left them really in
a very bad condition.
386
00:18:19.020 --> 00:18:21.180
My friends, that's what
the tongue does when it's
387
00:18:21.180 --> 00:18:22.830
not controlled.
388
00:18:22.830 --> 00:18:25.710
And then we read in verse 9:
389
00:18:26.790 --> 00:18:29.610 line:15%
Therewith bless we God, even the Father.
390
00:18:29.610 --> 00:18:32.430
The word blessed, the Greek word eulogeo, from the word you,
391
00:18:32.430 --> 00:18:33.570
which means good or swell
392
00:18:33.570 --> 00:18:37.560 line:15%
and the word logos, words; it
means therewith, bless we God.
393
00:18:37.560 --> 00:18:40.290 line:15%
We speak good words to the Lord,
394
00:18:40.290 --> 00:18:43.290
we're blessing God the Father.
395
00:18:43.290 --> 00:18:46.740 line:15%
And then James adds - And therewith curse
396
00:18:46.740 --> 00:18:51.030 line:15%
we men. The word curse the
Greek word, which means
397
00:18:51.030 --> 00:18:55.080 line:15%
to verbally doom other people with our words. Men,
398
00:18:55.080 --> 00:18:58.590
which are made after the solitude of God.
399
00:18:58.590 --> 00:19:03.000 line:15%
And then James says in verse 10 - Out of the same mouth
400
00:19:03.900 --> 00:19:05.160 line:15%
proceeds blessing
401
00:19:05.160 --> 00:19:07.980 line:15%
and cursing. The word mouth, the Greek word stoma.
402
00:19:07.980 --> 00:19:10.230 line:15%
The word stoma describes
the physical mouth.
403
00:19:10.230 --> 00:19:14.850 line:15%
But it was also used to
describe the point of a sword:
404
00:19:14.850 --> 00:19:18.330
the point of a sword. Is your mouth a sword
405
00:19:18.330 --> 00:19:22.710
that is hurting other people? Out of the same mouth,
406
00:19:22.710 --> 00:19:24.390
proceeds blessing and cursing.
407
00:19:24.390 --> 00:19:27.540 line:15%
Then he says, my brethren, these things ought not so to be.
408
00:19:27.540 --> 00:19:31.530 line:15%
And then in verse 11, rhetorically asks the question: doth
409
00:19:31.530 --> 00:19:34.290 line:15%
a fountain send forth at the same place, sweet water
410
00:19:34.290 --> 00:19:37.050 line:15%
and bitter. And the word sweet water
411
00:19:37.050 --> 00:19:41.460 line:15%
and bitter literally
describe water that is sweet
412
00:19:41.460 --> 00:19:43.170 line:15%
to taste or bitter.
413
00:19:43.170 --> 00:19:45.253 line:15%
The Greek pikros.
414
00:19:45.253 --> 00:19:48.153 line:15%
It describes that which is filled with acid,
415
00:19:48.153 --> 00:19:50.850 line:15%
bitter, distasteful, sharp, toxic.
416
00:19:50.850 --> 00:19:53.010 line:15%
What's coming outta your mouth? Is it sweet,
417
00:19:53.010 --> 00:19:56.970 line:15%
is it enjoyable or is it toxic? Is it acidic?
418
00:19:56.970 --> 00:19:59.070 line:15%
That's really what James is asking here.
419
00:19:59.070 --> 00:20:02.430
And notice that he calls
the mouth a fountain,
420
00:20:02.430 --> 00:20:05.940
a place from which water gushes forth.
421
00:20:05.940 --> 00:20:08.040
And my friends, Jesus
said, whatever is in you,
422
00:20:08.040 --> 00:20:09.870
that's what's gonna come outta your mouth.
423
00:20:09.870 --> 00:20:11.130
Jesus really said that.
424
00:20:11.130 --> 00:20:13.740
Out of the abundance of the
heart, the mouth speaks.
425
00:20:13.740 --> 00:20:15.900
So in addition to getting a
grip on your mouth, you need
426
00:20:15.900 --> 00:20:18.840
to get a grip with what's
going on inside your heart
427
00:20:18.840 --> 00:20:22.980
And my friends, the truth is
no one can control the tongue.
428
00:20:24.240 --> 00:20:26.700
James says, it is unpredictable,
429
00:20:26.700 --> 00:20:28.680
uncontrollable, unstable.
430
00:20:28.680 --> 00:20:30.840
It is full of deadly poison.
431
00:20:30.840 --> 00:20:32.820
And that is why as we come to the end
432
00:20:32.820 --> 00:20:36.540
of this teaching series, I'm
going to tell you, for you
433
00:20:36.540 --> 00:20:39.150
to get a grip on your mouth,
434
00:20:39.150 --> 00:20:42.960
you've gotta surrender your
tongue to the Holy Spirit.
435
00:20:42.960 --> 00:20:45.420
I've personally learned
that when you're filled
436
00:20:45.420 --> 00:20:47.560
with the Holy Spirit
and you pray in tongues
437
00:20:47.560 --> 00:20:50.830
and you regularly let the Holy
Spirit work with your tongue,
438
00:20:50.830 --> 00:20:53.530
it helps your tongue to be domesticated.
439
00:20:53.530 --> 00:20:56.860
The Holy Spirit is the only one that can really domesticate
440
00:20:56.860 --> 00:20:59.290
and subdue your tongue, but he can.
441
00:20:59.290 --> 00:21:02.560 line:15%
And it's such a blessing
when your tongue becomes an
442
00:21:02.560 --> 00:21:06.460 line:15%
implement that positively
moves things along your tongue
443
00:21:06.460 --> 00:21:08.890 line:15%
becomes an organ that helps to build
444
00:21:08.890 --> 00:21:13.180 line:15%
and helps to edify rather
than a point of a sword
445
00:21:13.180 --> 00:21:15.220 line:15%
that hurts other people.
446
00:21:15.220 --> 00:21:19.540 line:15%
And that's why you need
to surrender your tongue
447
00:21:19.540 --> 00:21:20.860 line:15%
to the Holy Spirit.
448
00:21:20.860 --> 00:21:24.225
I'll be back in just a moment
and I wanna pray for you.
449
00:21:31.660 --> 00:21:33.820
Someone asked a very interesting question.
450
00:21:33.820 --> 00:21:36.400
They said, Rick, what
is the greatest enemy
451
00:21:36.400 --> 00:21:37.720
you've ever faced?
452
00:21:37.720 --> 00:21:40.870
Well, I faced a lot of enemies in my life.
453
00:21:40.870 --> 00:21:43.990
I write about a lot of it in my book called Unlikely; you
454
00:21:43.990 --> 00:21:45.460
should Get That book,
455
00:21:45.460 --> 00:21:48.790
but I have learned the greatest enemy I have ever faced.
456
00:21:48.790 --> 00:21:52.900
It's not the devil, it's
not anyone else, it's me.
457
00:21:52.900 --> 00:21:57.730
The Bible tells us in Proverbs 16:32, That he
458
00:21:57.730 --> 00:22:01.270
who rules his own spirit is mightier than one
459
00:22:01.270 --> 00:22:02.830 line:15%
who takes a city.
460
00:22:02.830 --> 00:22:06.280
And I have learned that
if I can master me,
461
00:22:06.280 --> 00:22:07.900
there's nothing that I cannot do.
462
00:22:07.900 --> 00:22:09.610
The devil is no problem.
463
00:22:09.610 --> 00:22:10.630 line:15%
There's no mountain
464
00:22:10.630 --> 00:22:14.410
that I cannot climb if
I'll just master me.
465
00:22:14.410 --> 00:22:17.560
And therefore, I've learned
to really focus on me
466
00:22:17.560 --> 00:22:22.090
and learning to rule my spirit
so that I can take a city
467
00:22:22.090 --> 00:22:25.390
and do whatever it is that
God has called me to do.
468
00:22:25.390 --> 00:22:27.490
But ruling my own spirit
469
00:22:27.490 --> 00:22:31.420
and mastering me is only possible if I crucify the flesh
470
00:22:31.420 --> 00:22:34.780
and yield to the power of the Holy Spirit.
471
00:22:36.220 --> 00:22:39.700 line:15%
Have you ever said something
that you later regretted?
472
00:22:39.700 --> 00:22:42.460 line:15%
We all need to learn how
to control the things
473
00:22:42.460 --> 00:22:44.320 line:15%
that come out of our mouths.
474
00:22:44.320 --> 00:22:45.940 line:15%
And Jesus has a lot
475
00:22:45.940 --> 00:22:49.240 line:15%
to say on the subject. In Rick Renner series,
476
00:22:49.240 --> 00:22:52.570 line:15%
What Jesus said about getting a grip on your Mouth,
477
00:22:52.570 --> 00:22:54.100 line:15%
you will learn how to be slow
478
00:22:54.100 --> 00:22:55.870 line:15%
and thoughtful with your words,
479
00:22:55.870 --> 00:22:57.880 line:15%
really thinking before you speak.
480
00:22:57.880 --> 00:22:59.920 line:15%
You will develop a greater understanding
481
00:22:59.920 --> 00:23:04.000 line:15%
of biblical practices such
as not having blessings
482
00:23:04.000 --> 00:23:07.330 line:15%
and curses come from the
same mouth submitting
483
00:23:07.330 --> 00:23:10.600 line:15%
to the Holy Spirit when
your tongue is untamable
484
00:23:10.600 --> 00:23:12.610 line:15%
and much more.

500
00:24:02.810 --> 00:24:04.550
Hey friends, this is Rick Renner,
501
00:24:04.550 --> 00:24:07.790
and today I wanna say
thank you to you partner
502
00:24:07.790 --> 00:24:08.960
for everything you do
503
00:24:08.960 --> 00:24:13.100
to help us fulfill heaven's
mandate on our ministry.
504
00:24:13.100 --> 00:24:15.680
In Proverbs 10:21, it says, The lips
505
00:24:15.680 --> 00:24:17.300 line:15%
of the righteous feed many.
506
00:24:17.300 --> 00:24:19.940 line:15%
And that is our assignment.
507
00:24:19.940 --> 00:24:23.720 line:15%
In the past year, we have
traveled all over Russia
508
00:24:23.720 --> 00:24:26.600 line:15%
and when we travel to
minister, we don't charge
509
00:24:26.600 --> 00:24:28.970 line:15%
for plane tickets or for churches to pay
510
00:24:28.970 --> 00:24:31.040 line:15%
for the cost of our team.
511
00:24:31.040 --> 00:24:34.490
You pay that price, you
do that with your gifts.
512
00:24:34.490 --> 00:24:37.730 line:15%
You enable us to go to
people who could never pay
513
00:24:37.730 --> 00:24:39.680 line:15%
for all of us to come.
514
00:24:39.680 --> 00:24:43.280 line:15%
But we've gone as a team and
lives have been transformed.
515
00:24:43.280 --> 00:24:46.010 line:15%
We've had meetings where
we have met thousands
516
00:24:46.010 --> 00:24:48.800 line:15%
and thousands of people
who listen to us on TV
517
00:24:48.800 --> 00:24:51.410 line:15%
and then come together
to hear us in person
518
00:24:51.410 --> 00:24:54.290
as we impart the life transforming truth
519
00:24:54.290 --> 00:24:56.030
of the Bible to them.
520
00:24:56.030 --> 00:24:59.330 line:15%
And you're a part of that
because you are a partner.
521
00:24:59.330 --> 00:25:02.810 line:15%
You're putting the fuel in the
tank that enables us to go.
522
00:25:02.810 --> 00:25:04.340 line:15%
And for this, I say thank you
523
00:25:04.340 --> 00:25:07.490 line:15%
and all those people say thank you.
524
00:25:07.490 --> 00:25:10.190 line:15%
And if you're not a
partner yet, we need you.
525
00:25:10.190 --> 00:25:12.080 line:15%
And today I'm inviting
you to become a part
526
00:25:12.080 --> 00:25:13.250 line:15%
of our partner family.
527
00:25:13.250 --> 00:25:14.975 line:15%
We're waiting for you to help us
528
00:25:14.975 --> 00:25:17.450 line:15%
to take the trusted teaching of the Bible
529
00:25:17.450 --> 00:25:19.040 line:15%
to the ends of the earth.
530
00:25:21.890 --> 00:25:24.890 line:15%
Well, we just concluded our 5-part series called, What
531
00:25:24.890 --> 00:25:29.090 line:15%
Jesus Said about getting a Grip on your Mouth.
532
00:25:29.090 --> 00:25:32.030 line:15%
Has this been a blessing to
you? Please call or write me.
533
00:25:32.030 --> 00:25:34.760 line:15%
I wanna know your response to this series,
534
00:25:34.760 --> 00:25:38.360 line:15%
but I ended this series
today by saying, you need
535
00:25:38.360 --> 00:25:41.210 line:15%
to submit your tongue to the Holy Spirit.
536
00:25:41.210 --> 00:25:45.590 line:15%
No man can tame the tongue. As hard as you try
537
00:25:45.590 --> 00:25:48.080 line:15%
there are gonna be moments when your tongue says something
538
00:25:48.080 --> 00:25:50.510 line:15%
it shouldn't say, you're gonna make a statement
539
00:25:50.510 --> 00:25:52.310 line:15%
that you later regret.
540
00:25:52.310 --> 00:25:55.640 line:15%
But the Holy Spirit has the
power to tame the tongue
541
00:25:55.640 --> 00:25:58.670 line:15%
and he really is the only
one that has the power
542
00:25:58.670 --> 00:26:00.350 line:15%
to tame the tongue.
543
00:26:00.350 --> 00:26:03.350 line:15%
So you need to say, in fact,
just say it with me right now.
544
00:26:03.350 --> 00:26:08.350 line:15%
Holy Spirit, I give you
authority over my mouth.
545
00:26:08.450 --> 00:26:11.030 line:15%
I ask you to tame my tongue.
546
00:26:11.030 --> 00:26:13.100 line:15%
I ask you to control what I say.
547
00:26:13.100 --> 00:26:14.630 line:15%
I will cooperate with you,
548
00:26:14.630 --> 00:26:17.900 line:15%
but I need you to release your power
549
00:26:17.900 --> 00:26:20.480 line:15%
to tame my tongue.
550
00:26:20.480 --> 00:26:24.380 line:15%
In Jesus' name, Amen, Amen.
551
00:26:24.380 --> 00:26:28.700
He really can tame your
tongue, surrender it to him.
552
00:26:28.700 --> 00:26:31.970 line:15%
But hey, this series is called
What Jesus Said about getting
553
00:26:31.970 --> 00:26:33.080 line:15%
A Grip on Your Mouth.
554
00:26:33.080 --> 00:26:35.600 line:15%
It's a 5-part series, comes with a study guide.
555
00:26:35.600 --> 00:26:37.760 line:15%
And again, I'm telling you today
556
00:26:37.760 --> 00:26:40.280 line:15%
for the last time about Joyce
Meyer's book called Power
557
00:26:40.280 --> 00:26:44.610 line:15%
Words: how your words are so powerful,
558
00:26:44.610 --> 00:26:47.130 line:15%
they can really sculpt your world.
559
00:26:47.130 --> 00:26:49.290 line:15%
And Joyce tells us what we should say
560
00:26:49.290 --> 00:26:50.970 line:15%
and what we should not be saying.
561
00:26:50.970 --> 00:26:53.730 line:15%
And that's why I'm telling
you about her wonderful book.
562
00:26:53.730 --> 00:26:56.100 line:15%
And if you'd like to have
any of these resources,
563
00:26:56.100 --> 00:26:59.040 line:15%
all you have to do is go online, just go
564
00:26:59.040 --> 00:27:02.040 line:15%
to our email address or
you can give us a call.
565
00:27:02.040 --> 00:27:04.470 line:15%
We're waiting to take your call right now
566
00:27:04.470 --> 00:27:07.380
and when you reach out to
us, let us know how to pray
567
00:27:07.380 --> 00:27:11.700
for you because we really
do want to pray for you.
568
00:27:11.700 --> 00:27:13.110 line:15%
But I wanna say thank you for being
569
00:27:13.110 --> 00:27:14.280
with me every day this week.
570
00:27:14.280 --> 00:27:16.770
It's been good. Let's
get a grip on our mouth
571
00:27:16.770 --> 00:27:19.230
and let the Holy Spirit tame our tongue.
572
00:27:19.230 --> 00:27:22.650
And remember Ecclesiastes 8:4 says, "Where the word
573
00:27:22.650 --> 00:27:25.860
of a king is there is power."
574
00:27:25.860 --> 00:27:28.110 line:15%
If you've never received
Jesus as your Savior
575
00:27:28.110 --> 00:27:32.490 line:15%
and Lord, now is the time for
you to experience a new life
576
00:27:32.490 --> 00:27:34.650 line:15%
Jesus has to give you.
577
00:27:34.650 --> 00:27:38.730 line:15%
Pray this prayer with me right now - Lord,
578
00:27:38.730 --> 00:27:42.750 line:15%
I repent my sin and receive you as my Savior
579
00:27:42.750 --> 00:27:45.720 line:15%
and Lord. Wash away my sin
580
00:27:45.720 --> 00:27:48.750 line:15%
and make me completely new.
581
00:27:48.750 --> 00:27:52.530 line:15%
I thank you that my sin is removed
582
00:27:52.530 --> 00:27:57.530 line:15%
and Satan no longer has any
right to lay claim on me.
583
00:27:58.080 --> 00:28:02.070 line:15%
I faithfully promise that
I will serve you as my Lord
584
00:28:02.070 --> 00:28:03.750 line:15%
for the rest of my life.
585
00:28:04.620 --> 00:28:05.620 line:15%
Amen.
586
00:28:08.550 --> 00:28:10.740
