Get ready for a teaching
that feeds your spirit

00:00:11.640 --> 00:00:15.240
and your mind where the
word is the anchor in
5
00:00:15.240 --> 00:00:17.190
uncertain times
6
00:00:17.190 --> 00:00:20.490
and doctrine doesn't bend to culture.
7
00:00:20.490 --> 00:00:21.930
We keep it simple,
8
00:00:21.930 --> 00:00:26.460
but dive deep revealing a
truth that strengthens us,

and a mission that touches the world.
11
00:00:34.860 --> 00:00:36.420
Let's join Rick Renner.
12
00:00:38.340 --> 00:00:39.720
Welcome to today's program.
13
00:00:39.720 --> 00:00:41.070
My name is Rick Renner
14
00:00:41.070 --> 00:00:43.830
and I'm so glad that
you've made time for me
15
00:00:43.830 --> 00:00:46.290
to come right into your space.
16
00:00:46.290 --> 00:00:49.290
And today it's not just me, it's me
17
00:00:49.290 --> 00:00:50.550
and my very dear friend,
18
00:00:50.550 --> 00:00:53.010
Joseph Z - Rick, it's good to be with you.
19
00:00:53.010 --> 00:00:54.690
Thank you. I'm always glad to be
20
00:00:54.690 --> 00:00:56.220
with you anywhere on the planet.
21
00:00:56.220 --> 00:00:58.620 line:15%
Same. I mean, you're my favorite person.
22
00:00:58.620 --> 00:01:00.150
We've been to Noah's Ark together.
23
00:01:00.150 --> 00:01:02.280 line:15%
We have, you've been to
Moscow multiple times.
24
00:01:02.280 --> 00:01:03.780 line:15%
Yes, I've been in your studio.
25
00:01:03.780 --> 00:01:06.900
Yes, - Joseph and I are
really very dear friends.
26
00:01:06.900 --> 00:01:09.300 line:15%
And Denise and Heather, the 4 of us,
27
00:01:09.300 --> 00:01:11.580 line:15%
we just feel very thankful
28
00:01:11.580 --> 00:01:13.710 line:15%
for our relationship with each other.
29
00:01:13.710 --> 00:01:17.220 line:15%
And I'm glad that today I
get to share Joseph with you.
30
00:01:17.220 --> 00:01:19.500 line:15%
And this week we're doing a series called,
31
00:01:19.500 --> 00:01:21.510 line:15%
Punishing the Darkness.
32
00:01:21.510 --> 00:01:26.280 line:15%
It's spiritual Warfare that works. It is a 5-part series.
33
00:01:26.280 --> 00:01:27.840
Today is the 4th,
34
00:01:27.840 --> 00:01:30.270 line:15%
and it comes with a wonderful study guide.
35
00:01:30.270 --> 00:01:33.240 line:15%
The whole series comes in all kinds of formats,
36
00:01:33.240 --> 00:01:34.830 line:15%
whatever you need.
37
00:01:34.830 --> 00:01:38.640 line:15%
And the study guide is everything in the series in written
38
00:01:38.640 --> 00:01:41.730 line:15%
form so that you can read the
material while you're seeing
39
00:01:41.730 --> 00:01:43.080 line:15%
or hearing the series
40
00:01:43.080 --> 00:01:45.750 line:15%
because it is just a scientific fact
41
00:01:45.750 --> 00:01:48.390 line:15%
that when you read the material, while you're seeing it
42
00:01:48.390 --> 00:01:51.390 line:15%
or hearing it, it really
has a double whammy effect.
43
00:01:51.390 --> 00:01:54.840 line:15%
It really causes it to
get down deep inside you.
44
00:01:54.840 --> 00:01:56.730 line:15%
So we want you to have both.
45
00:01:56.730 --> 00:01:58.230 line:15%
And we're excited
46
00:01:58.230 --> 00:02:01.350 line:15%
to tell you about Joseph's book called, Punishing The
47
00:02:01.350 --> 00:02:04.800 line:15%
DarknessL Spiritual Warfare That Works.
48
00:02:04.800 --> 00:02:06.870 line:15%
He has two Forwards, both of them written
49
00:02:06.870 --> 00:02:09.780 line:15%
by my friends, Mike Signorelli and Alan Didio.
50
00:02:09.780 --> 00:02:11.010 line:15%
Don't we love Mike and Alan?
51
00:02:11.010 --> 00:02:12.750 line:15%
Oh, they're just wonderful.
They're wonderful,
52
00:02:12.750 --> 00:02:14.460 line:15%
Great leaders, great teachers,
53
00:02:14.460 --> 00:02:16.260 line:15%
Great churches, great churches.
54
00:02:16.260 --> 00:02:19.740 line:15%
But this is really a tremendous book about spiritual
55
00:02:19.740 --> 00:02:21.120 line:15%
warfare that works.
56
00:02:21.120 --> 00:02:24.060 line:15%
Now, maybe you already have
my book Dressed to Kill.
57
00:02:24.060 --> 00:02:25.290 line:15%
If not, you need to get it
58
00:02:25.290 --> 00:02:28.410 line:15%
because amazingly it became a Christian
59
00:02:28.410 --> 00:02:29.670 line:15%
classic over many years.
60
00:02:29.670 --> 00:02:31.020 line:15%
And I'm so grateful to God
61
00:02:31.020 --> 00:02:32.640 line:15%
that anybody would even read my books.
62
00:02:32.640 --> 00:02:34.205 line:15%
And Joseph, I know you
feel the same thing.
63
00:02:34.205 --> 00:02:35.550 line:15%
I'm feeling the same. And this book is
64
00:02:35.550 --> 00:02:36.900 line:15%
wonderful Dress to well, thank you.
65
00:02:36.900 --> 00:02:39.390 line:15%
But what an honor that people
would read our material.
66
00:02:39.390 --> 00:02:41.700 line:15%
Yes sir. - And this is a
book that you need to read,
67
00:02:41.700 --> 00:02:45.660 line:15%
Punishing The Darkness: Spiritual Warfare that Works.
68
00:02:45.660 --> 00:02:49.050 line:15%
But you can find out about
how to get these resources
69
00:02:49.050 --> 00:02:51.900 line:15%
by going to our website
or by giving us a call.
70
00:02:51.900 --> 00:02:53.040 line:15%
So just go there now.
71
00:02:53.040 --> 00:02:55.860 line:15%
You can look it up, find
out how to order yours.
72
00:02:55.860 --> 00:02:57.180
And by the way, if you need prayer,
73
00:02:57.180 --> 00:02:58.650 line:15%

We to pray for you.
75
00:03:00.790 --> 00:03:02.860 line:15%
Jesus said if two or
three of you would agree
76
00:03:02.860 --> 00:03:06.310 line:15%
as touching anything, I will do it.
77
00:03:06.310 --> 00:03:08.980 line:15%
Well, it's important that
you agree biblically.
78
00:03:08.980 --> 00:03:10.990 line:15%
If you pray something
that's not scriptural,
79
00:03:10.990 --> 00:03:12.520 line:15%
he's not obligated to do it.
80
00:03:12.520 --> 00:03:14.920 line:15%
But we know how to pray
scripturally biblically.
81
00:03:14.920 --> 00:03:17.440 line:15%
Yes. - So if you'll reach out to us,
82
00:03:17.440 --> 00:03:20.320 line:15%
we will pray scripturally,
biblically, according
83
00:03:20.320 --> 00:03:21.520 line:15%
to the promises of God.
84
00:03:21.520 --> 00:03:24.400 line:15%
And Jesus said he will do it.
85
00:03:25.240 --> 00:03:29.080 line:15%
So if you've got a need, identify that need and call us.
86
00:03:29.080 --> 00:03:32.050 line:15%
Maybe you don't know who else to call - call us.
87
00:03:32.050 --> 00:03:34.180 line:15%
You can pray by yourself.
88
00:03:34.180 --> 00:03:37.240 line:15%
But Jesus said of two or
three of you would agree
89
00:03:37.240 --> 00:03:38.680 line:15%
it had special power.
90
00:03:38.680 --> 00:03:41.530 line:15%
So call us and we want to pray with you
91
00:03:41.530 --> 00:03:43.510 line:15%

92
00:03:43.510 --> 00:03:46.780 line:15%
Or if you wish, send us an email.
93
00:03:46.780 --> 00:03:49.690 line:15%
Either way, we're gonna
really pray for you
94
00:03:49.690 --> 00:03:52.690 line:15%
and Jesus is gonna do
something wonderful for you.
95
00:03:52.690 --> 00:03:54.880 line:15%
But Joseph, today we're gonna go back
96
00:03:54.880 --> 00:03:56.980
to our series called, Punishing the Darkness.
97
00:03:56.980 --> 00:04:00.490
And I want us to talk about the battle for the mind.
98
00:04:00.490 --> 00:04:03.010
Yes sir. - And how to unlock the spiritual realm.
99
00:04:03.010 --> 00:04:04.600 line:15%
But I wanna begin by saying something.
100
00:04:04.600 --> 00:04:08.290
Okay. - Many years ago
when I wrote Dress to Kill,
101
00:04:08.290 --> 00:04:13.000
there was kind of a spiritual warfare fixation
102
00:04:13.000 --> 00:04:14.200
back in those days.
103
00:04:14.200 --> 00:04:16.450
People were talking about spiritual warfare
104
00:04:16.450 --> 00:04:21.010
and a lot of it was such unfounded, silly, silly teaching.
105
00:04:21.010 --> 00:04:22.990
And when you listen to silly teaching
106
00:04:22.990 --> 00:04:24.970
and believe it, it really messes you up.
107
00:04:24.970 --> 00:04:28.600
It's true. - So I decided to go to the New Testament
108
00:04:28.600 --> 00:04:31.810
and study with the Bible
had to say about high places
109
00:04:31.810 --> 00:04:34.300
because the Bible says we're
fighting against spiritual
110
00:04:34.300 --> 00:04:36.100
wickedness in high places.
111
00:04:36.100 --> 00:04:38.950
And I began to look up every reference
112
00:04:38.950 --> 00:04:41.350
to spiritual warfare in the New Testament.
113
00:04:41.350 --> 00:04:43.870
And here's what I found.
114
00:04:43.870 --> 00:04:46.870
The word warfare used in
the New Testament in regard
115
00:04:46.870 --> 00:04:50.740
to spiritual warfare is primarily found 5-times.
116
00:04:50.740 --> 00:04:55.740
All 5-times it is connected to the mind.
117
00:04:55.930 --> 00:04:59.440
How about that? Spiritual warfare is connected to the mind.
118
00:04:59.440 --> 00:05:00.940
All right - here's the next deal.
119
00:05:00.940 --> 00:05:03.520
Spiritual warfare in high places.
120
00:05:03.520 --> 00:05:08.500
Well, how high is the evil
that we're coming against?
121
00:05:08.500 --> 00:05:10.690
It's about as high as your head.
122
00:05:10.690 --> 00:05:13.300
This is the high place
you need to deal with.
123
00:05:13.300 --> 00:05:15.190
You don't need to worry
about the devil out in the
124
00:05:15.190 --> 00:05:16.930
cosmic realm.
125
00:05:16.930 --> 00:05:19.480
You need to deal with this
high place in your life.
126
00:05:19.480 --> 00:05:21.670
If you stand up, your brain is higher than
127
00:05:21.670 --> 00:05:22.870
any other part of you.
128
00:05:22.870 --> 00:05:25.300
And that's where the
devil wants to assault you
129
00:05:25.300 --> 00:05:27.370
and take you down.
130
00:05:27.370 --> 00:05:28.960
He's after your head.
131
00:05:28.960 --> 00:05:30.850
Yes. - Education's
132
00:05:30.850 --> 00:05:33.400
after your head, Hollywood's after your head.
133
00:05:33.400 --> 00:05:35.620
The courts are after your head.
134
00:05:35.620 --> 00:05:38.500
Everybody's trying to influence your mind.
135
00:05:38.500 --> 00:05:41.140
And Joseph, that's why I say
that when we come to Jesus
136
00:05:41.140 --> 00:05:42.520
and give him our heart,
137
00:05:42.520 --> 00:05:44.680 line:15%
Yes - we need to also say, Jesus,
138
00:05:44.680 --> 00:05:46.210 line:15%
I'm also giving you my mind.
139
00:05:46.210 --> 00:05:49.900 line:15%
He wants your mind, just like
the devil wants your mind,
140
00:05:49.900 --> 00:05:52.270 line:15%
Jesus wants your mind.
141
00:05:52.270 --> 00:05:56.320 line:15%
Because whoever controls your
mind from this high lofty
142
00:05:56.320 --> 00:06:00.380 line:15%
place is gonna dominate your entire life.
143
00:06:00.380 --> 00:06:02.420
So whoever has access to your head,
144
00:06:02.420 --> 00:06:05.300
whoever dominates your thinking is the one
145
00:06:05.300 --> 00:06:07.340
that's gonna control you.
146
00:06:07.340 --> 00:06:09.230
And you need to make sure it's Jesus
147
00:06:09.230 --> 00:06:11.930
and not some evil force.
148
00:06:11.930 --> 00:06:15.530
And today we're gonna talk about the Battle for the Mind
149
00:06:15.530 --> 00:06:17.660
and How to Access the Spiritual Realm.
150
00:06:17.660 --> 00:06:19.010
So Joseph, take us
151
00:06:19.010 --> 00:06:20.010
there.
152
00:06:20.010 --> 00:06:22.670
Okay, well first thing I think
believers need to be aware
153
00:06:22.670 --> 00:06:26.900
of is the fact that the devil
really has access to believers
154
00:06:26.900 --> 00:06:28.730
through carnality, through their flesh,
155
00:06:28.730 --> 00:06:30.350
through a way of thinking.
156
00:06:30.350 --> 00:06:33.380
Galatians 5:16, it says, walk in the spirit
157
00:06:33.380 --> 00:06:35.270
and you will not fulfill
the lust of the flesh.
158
00:06:35.270 --> 00:06:36.770
Can I say something about the word - carnal?
159
00:06:36.770 --> 00:06:39.920
Yes sir. - It's the Greek word sarkos, which is flesh.
160
00:06:39.920 --> 00:06:41.870
Flesh. So when you talk about carnality,
161
00:06:41.870 --> 00:06:43.160
you're just talking about the flesh
162
00:06:43.160 --> 00:06:44.300
of the realm. Yeah, the natural
163
00:06:44.300 --> 00:06:45.300
realm.
164
00:06:45.300 --> 00:06:46.940
Yeah, that's right. And impulses in a way of thinking.
165
00:06:46.940 --> 00:06:48.320
That's right - that lines up with it.
166
00:06:48.320 --> 00:06:50.120
So when we talk about the mind,
167
00:06:50.120 --> 00:06:53.570
you know fleshy thinking is
really any type of thought
168
00:06:53.570 --> 00:06:55.310
that's contrary to the word of God.
169
00:06:55.310 --> 00:06:58.190
That's really what it is. It's a carnal way of thinking
170
00:06:58.190 --> 00:06:59.720
that's contrary to the word of God.
171
00:06:59.720 --> 00:07:02.330
And when you look at all the way back to the beginning,
172
00:07:02.330 --> 00:07:04.190
Genesis 3,
173
00:07:04.190 --> 00:07:06.710
when Adam was created out of the dust,
174
00:07:06.710 --> 00:07:08.120
it's interesting, and this, you know,
175
00:07:08.120 --> 00:07:09.710
this is just an interesting take on it,
176
00:07:09.710 --> 00:07:12.650
but the devil, the serpent, he was caused
177
00:07:12.650 --> 00:07:15.650
to crawl in his belly and
eat the dust of the earth.
178
00:07:15.650 --> 00:07:17.330
It's an interesting take.
179
00:07:17.330 --> 00:07:20.150
He eats the dust of the earth,
that's what he's gonna do.
180
00:07:20.150 --> 00:07:23.270
And then we see in 1st Peter, I think it's chapter 5:
181
00:07:23.270 --> 00:07:25.520
8, where the devil walks
182
00:07:25.520 --> 00:07:30.520
around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour
183
00:07:30.710 --> 00:07:31.760
whom he may devour.
184
00:07:31.760 --> 00:07:34.070
In other words, the devil can't just jump outta the bushes
185
00:07:34.070 --> 00:07:36.320
and just devour whoever he wants.
186
00:07:36.320 --> 00:07:38.900
It's interesting. So he
leads as a roaring lion,
187
00:07:38.900 --> 00:07:41.690
like a lion seeking whom he may devour.
188
00:07:41.690 --> 00:07:44.090
So he's looking for the one that's devourable.
189
00:07:44.090 --> 00:07:48.290
That's right with his voice.
A roaring lion suggestion.
190
00:07:48.290 --> 00:07:51.230
His voice, those fiery darts of the enemy: these thoughts.
191
00:07:51.230 --> 00:07:55.490
But it is interesting to me that man is made from the dust:
192
00:07:55.490 --> 00:07:59.150
the serpent - you know - eats the dust symbolically.
193
00:07:59.150 --> 00:08:01.880
And then we see here in 1 Peter 5:8
194
00:08:01.880 --> 00:08:04.640
that the devil's a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour.
195
00:08:04.640 --> 00:08:07.190
And I just want to present that we might need
196
00:08:07.190 --> 00:08:10.160
to check ourselves in the carnality of our thinking
197
00:08:10.160 --> 00:08:13.070
because that is kind of food for darkness.
198
00:08:13.070 --> 00:08:15.350
In other words, it gives them access to the realm
199
00:08:15.350 --> 00:08:17.270
of the natural through our thinking.
200
00:08:17.270 --> 00:08:18.680
And so what we have to do is begin
201
00:08:18.680 --> 00:08:20.060
to gird up the loins of our mind.
202
00:08:20.060 --> 00:08:21.560
We need to be thinking clearly
203
00:08:21.560 --> 00:08:23.540
and walking upright before the Lord.
204
00:08:23.540 --> 00:08:26.390
Putting the word of God in
there, walking in the spirit,
205
00:08:26.390 --> 00:08:28.160
which is John 6:63.
206
00:08:28.160 --> 00:08:29.750
My words are spirit.
207
00:08:29.750 --> 00:08:31.880
When you begin to renew your
mind to the word of God,
208
00:08:31.880 --> 00:08:35.240
it doesn't allow
carnality to feed darkness
209
00:08:35.240 --> 00:08:38.180
and function in the life of
a believer or an unbeliever.
210
00:08:38.180 --> 00:08:40.370
And I wanna say that one way you can know whether the
211
00:08:40.370 --> 00:08:43.580
devil is speaking to you is there's a roar in your head.
212
00:08:43.580 --> 00:08:45.860
Oh wow. - He's like a roaring lion.
213
00:08:45.860 --> 00:08:47.600
He is. - If you have a negative thought
214
00:08:47.600 --> 00:08:51.500
that's just roaring in your
head, that is the enemy.
215
00:08:51.500 --> 00:08:54.140
I love that people say he has no teeth.
216
00:08:54.140 --> 00:08:57.570
Jesus removed his teeth, but
he still has a roar. He does.
217
00:08:57.570 --> 00:09:00.600
One time I was flying into
Tulsa in a private plane
218
00:09:00.600 --> 00:09:04.200
and the Tulsa airport
is near the Tulsa Zoo.
219
00:09:04.200 --> 00:09:07.230
And as we flew over the zoo, here I am,
220
00:09:07.230 --> 00:09:10.140
up in the air in a plane,
was a prop plane so
221
00:09:10.140 --> 00:09:11.220
that it's loud.
222
00:09:12.240 --> 00:09:14.790 line:15%
I said, what is that noise?
223
00:09:14.790 --> 00:09:17.700 line:15%
The pilot said, we're flying over the zoo.
224
00:09:17.700 --> 00:09:20.610 line:15%
It's the time of the night
when the lions come out.
225
00:09:20.610 --> 00:09:24.300 line:15%
I could hear the lions. No
kidding. Clear up in that plane.
226
00:09:24.300 --> 00:09:26.730 line:15%
Even with the sound of
the propellers. Wow.
227
00:09:26.730 --> 00:09:28.380
It was so overpowering.
228
00:09:28.380 --> 00:09:31.560
And some people have listened
to the devil for so long,
229
00:09:31.560 --> 00:09:34.200
it's like a roar in their head.
230
00:09:34.200 --> 00:09:36.720
And if you have a roar
that's coming against you
231
00:09:36.720 --> 00:09:39.210
and coming against your
identity in Christ,
232
00:09:39.210 --> 00:09:42.930
that's one way you can
recognize it's the enemy.
233
00:09:42.930 --> 00:09:44.820
He is trying to squelch you.
234
00:09:44.820 --> 00:09:48.270
He's trying to smash you with his roar.
235
00:09:48.270 --> 00:09:51.030
And it's all a bunch of
nonsense. It is. It's
236
00:09:51.030 --> 00:09:52.170
All nonsense.
237
00:09:52.170 --> 00:09:55.500
It is. And there's a lot of
spiritual aspects to this.
238
00:09:55.500 --> 00:09:57.875
You know, I think about
people who have dreams, right?
239
00:09:57.875 --> 00:09:59.610
You, you have nightmares, you have things
240
00:09:59.610 --> 00:10:01.560
that invade your mind at night.
241
00:10:01.560 --> 00:10:03.540
You know, a lot of people
will say, I had this dream,
242
00:10:03.540 --> 00:10:04.770
it was really negative.
243
00:10:04.770 --> 00:10:06.390
And they get up and they just obsess
244
00:10:06.390 --> 00:10:07.800
over it and focus on it.
245
00:10:07.800 --> 00:10:10.110
I don't do that. If I
have a negative dream
246
00:10:10.110 --> 00:10:13.230
or something where maybe
the enemy's roaring in sleep
247
00:10:13.230 --> 00:10:16.530
or in your thoughts, whatever
it is, I rebuke that thing.
248
00:10:16.530 --> 00:10:17.700
I get up and say, you know what?
249
00:10:17.700 --> 00:10:19.860
That is not the promise of God for me.
250
00:10:19.860 --> 00:10:22.920
I stand on the word of God
and you speak directly to it.
251
00:10:22.920 --> 00:10:25.500
But there's an interesting
aspect to how the mind,
252
00:10:25.500 --> 00:10:27.870
how everything operates
in spiritual warfare.
253
00:10:27.870 --> 00:10:30.240
I call it the Here and There Principle.
254
00:10:30.240 --> 00:10:31.890
Alright? - And you see this outta Hebrews
255
00:10:31.890 --> 00:10:33.360
7:8
256
00:10:33.360 --> 00:10:34.470
And Jesus is there,
257
00:10:34.470 --> 00:10:37.530
or rather the apostle
Paul I believe in Hebrews,
258
00:10:37.530 --> 00:10:40.650
is talking about sowing - giving.
259
00:10:40.650 --> 00:10:42.720
So you get into that, it's just an example.
260
00:10:42.720 --> 00:10:45.870
But he says here, mortal
men receive tithes.
261
00:10:45.870 --> 00:10:48.750
But there he receives
it. Which is in heaven.
262
00:10:48.750 --> 00:10:49.920
Which is in heaven of
263
00:10:49.920 --> 00:10:51.150
Whom it is witness that he lives.
264
00:10:51.150 --> 00:10:53.610
So here on the earth we give tithes. - That's right.
265
00:10:53.610 --> 00:10:56.460
But it's received in heaven by Jesus. - That's right.
266
00:10:56.460 --> 00:10:58.011
The here and there and
267
00:10:58.011 --> 00:10:59.011
their principle.
268
00:10:59.011 --> 00:11:00.990
I like that Joseph, thank you sir.
269
00:11:00.990 --> 00:11:03.420
And I believe that when
you do things here, no,
270
00:11:03.420 --> 00:11:06.090
that the example in
Hebrew seven is tithing.
271
00:11:06.090 --> 00:11:07.920
But you can take that same example
272
00:11:07.920 --> 00:11:09.510
and say, when I pray here,
273
00:11:09.510 --> 00:11:11.970
what I bind on earth is bound in heaven.
274
00:11:11.970 --> 00:11:14.340
You know that that really demonstrates that principle.
275
00:11:14.340 --> 00:11:16.500
It does. It's a Here and There principle.
276
00:11:16.500 --> 00:11:19.110
I'll quote Maximus from gladiator.
277
00:11:19.110 --> 00:11:22.230
What we do in life echoes in eternity. Right?
278
00:11:22.230 --> 00:11:25.320
So you recognize that
what we do biblically,
279
00:11:25.320 --> 00:11:26.820
when we take action in the natural,
280
00:11:26.820 --> 00:11:28.890
there's a natural action we take
281
00:11:28.890 --> 00:11:31.380
that induces a supernatural reaction.
282
00:11:31.380 --> 00:11:32.970
That is so good
When we,
283
00:11:32.970 --> 00:11:34.680
when we do things by faith that's
284
00:11:34.680 --> 00:11:35.680
Binding and loosing.
285
00:11:35.680 --> 00:11:37.560
It's binding and loosing. Whatever you bind
286
00:11:37.560 --> 00:11:39.840
and loose on earth
shall be bound in heaven
287
00:11:39.840 --> 00:11:41.640
or loose and loose in heaven. The
288
00:11:41.640 --> 00:11:42.840
Here and the there.
289
00:11:42.840 --> 00:11:44.850
I like that. Thank you sir.
290
00:11:44.850 --> 00:11:47.940
What is in the realm of the
spirit is everything we need
291
00:11:47.940 --> 00:11:50.580
as believers. You know, there's also negative things
292
00:11:50.580 --> 00:11:51.810
for darkness in the spirit.
293
00:11:51.810 --> 00:11:54.520
But what is in the spirit is complete.
294
00:11:54.520 --> 00:11:56.350
We have everything we need there.
295
00:11:56.350 --> 00:11:57.760
That is where faith comes in.
296
00:11:57.760 --> 00:12:00.460
So when you pray, when you do a faith action,
297
00:12:00.460 --> 00:12:01.780
whether it's lay hands on the sick,
298
00:12:01.780 --> 00:12:03.670
so if you lay hands on a sick person
299
00:12:03.670 --> 00:12:05.950
by faith in the natural, there's nothing
300
00:12:05.950 --> 00:12:08.860
that really would cause
a person to be well.
301
00:12:08.860 --> 00:12:10.060
But when we do it by faith,
302
00:12:10.060 --> 00:12:12.010
we're unlocking what's done in the spirit
303
00:12:12.010 --> 00:12:13.690
and bringing it into the natural.
304
00:12:13.690 --> 00:12:16.780
And I wanna say that to you,
your hands have the power
305
00:12:16.780 --> 00:12:18.430
of God in them when you access the realm
306
00:12:18.430 --> 00:12:19.840
of the spirit by faith.
307
00:12:19.840 --> 00:12:22.930
So what we do in the
natural biblically activates
308
00:12:22.930 --> 00:12:24.010
what's done in the Spirit. - That
309
00:12:24.010 --> 00:12:25.840
would also apply to anointing with the oil.
310
00:12:25.840 --> 00:12:27.670
It would, all of it.
311
00:12:27.670 --> 00:12:31.180
So when we pray and we bind
powers, we bind these things,
312
00:12:31.180 --> 00:12:32.860
we've gotta really do
it by the word of God.
313
00:12:32.860 --> 00:12:34.240
So the devil fights us though,
314
00:12:34.240 --> 00:12:35.740
So we do it here.
315
00:12:35.740 --> 00:12:38.710
Yep. - And heaven stands
up and takes action with us.
316
00:12:38.710 --> 00:12:41.260
So we are coworkers with
heaven. - That's right.
317
00:12:41.260 --> 00:12:44.170
The here and their principle. - I love it. - Friend,
318
00:12:44.170 --> 00:12:45.820
that is powerful.
319
00:12:45.820 --> 00:12:48.190
Yeah.
If you take action here,
320
00:12:48.190 --> 00:12:50.350
heaven's gonna respond and do it there.
321
00:12:50.350 --> 00:12:52.240
Yes.
I think it's powerful.
322
00:12:52.240 --> 00:12:55.690
I I think of by grace,
we're saved through faith.
323
00:12:55.690 --> 00:12:57.790
I think grace is what God has done.
324
00:12:57.790 --> 00:12:59.950
Faith is what we do to
appropriate what he's done.
325
00:12:59.950 --> 00:13:01.900
It's the same principle. That's right.
326
00:13:01.900 --> 00:13:04.390
So whatever you need is already in the realm of the Spirit.
327
00:13:04.390 --> 00:13:08.470
Everything we need: revelation, what to do, a miracle,
328
00:13:08.470 --> 00:13:11.110
a breakthrough, binding spiritual forces.
329
00:13:11.110 --> 00:13:12.700
That is why we go to the word of God.
330
00:13:12.700 --> 00:13:15.820
Where the devil fights us is
he tries to bring confusion,
331
00:13:15.820 --> 00:13:18.610
distraction, all these things in our mind.
332
00:13:18.610 --> 00:13:21.340
So our mind gets confused,
it gets bad teaching.
333
00:13:21.340 --> 00:13:23.740
And we don't take action - and we don't take action.
334
00:13:23.740 --> 00:13:24.880
And if you don't take action,
335
00:13:24.880 --> 00:13:26.560
there's nothing for heaven to work with.
336
00:13:26.560 --> 00:13:29.320
And human beings, especially believers,
337
00:13:29.320 --> 00:13:31.150
we're gatekeepers from the realm
338
00:13:31.150 --> 00:13:32.590
of the spirit to the natural.
339
00:13:32.590 --> 00:13:36.430
What we believe, what we do,
how we act, how we live out
340
00:13:36.430 --> 00:13:38.200
faith, really will determine
341
00:13:38.200 --> 00:13:40.360
what comes from the spirit to the natural.
342
00:13:40.360 --> 00:13:42.370
And I believe that's what
the fight of the mind is.
343
00:13:42.370 --> 00:13:45.910
The devil wants to get that computer center confused, filled
344
00:13:45.910 --> 00:13:48.730
with unbelief, doubt, discouragement, all those things.
345
00:13:48.730 --> 00:13:51.280
So we don't pull from the
realm of the spirit what Jesus
346
00:13:51.280 --> 00:13:53.320
provided us into the natural.
347
00:13:54.190 --> 00:13:56.110
It's strong. Rick, when you get into
348
00:13:56.110 --> 00:13:58.210
intercession, you get into prayer.
349
00:13:58.210 --> 00:14:00.130
Now there's like a super highway
350
00:14:00.130 --> 00:14:01.390
that you're opening up from the realm
351
00:14:01.390 --> 00:14:02.740
of the spirit to the natural.
352
00:14:02.740 --> 00:14:04.450
You begin to pray, you begin to intercede,
353
00:14:04.450 --> 00:14:06.730
you move things out of the way
354
00:14:06.730 --> 00:14:08.380
and you can begin to see tremendous
355
00:14:08.380 --> 00:14:09.910
miracles and breakthroughs.
356
00:14:09.910 --> 00:14:11.800
I remember one time we had a friend
357
00:14:11.800 --> 00:14:14.740
who was not following the Lord, walked away
358
00:14:14.740 --> 00:14:17.350
and he said, I'm leaving all this, I'm not doing it.
359
00:14:17.350 --> 00:14:20.080
And we got together, a group of us, we held hands
360
00:14:20.080 --> 00:14:23.200
and said, you know what the
Bible says that what we do,
361
00:14:23.200 --> 00:14:24.460
touching anything as two
362
00:14:24.460 --> 00:14:26.950
or three come together, Christ is with us.
363
00:14:26.950 --> 00:14:28.720
We held hands and began to declare
364
00:14:28.720 --> 00:14:30.490
and shut doors to negativity
365
00:14:30.490 --> 00:14:32.320
that this man was walking towards.
366
00:14:32.320 --> 00:14:35.050
And as we did this, we
prayed so earnestly,
367
00:14:35.050 --> 00:14:37.120
we felt a release in the spirit.
368
00:14:37.120 --> 00:14:39.730
Within a day this person called, came back
369
00:14:39.730 --> 00:14:41.140
and got into fellowship with the Lord.
370
00:14:41.140 --> 00:14:43.270
And it was a very extreme circumstance,
371
00:14:43.270 --> 00:14:45.820
Joseph, I've had many
times in my life when we've
372
00:14:45.820 --> 00:14:47.020
been up against something.
373
00:14:47.020 --> 00:14:49.270
Yes - And we've entered into prayer: me
374
00:14:49.270 --> 00:14:51.680
and Denise often with our sons.
375
00:14:51.680 --> 00:14:52.910
And as I pray,
376
00:14:52.910 --> 00:14:57.200
I can literally sense something being pushed out of the way.
377
00:14:57.200 --> 00:14:59.810
Yes - I can't see it.
378
00:14:59.810 --> 00:15:02.750
But as I take action, I do my part here,
379
00:15:02.750 --> 00:15:05.630
something's happening there in the other realm - power.
380
00:15:05.630 --> 00:15:09.710
I can feel it. And when that
thing moves out of the way,
381
00:15:09.710 --> 00:15:13.100
release always comes, whatever
we're believing for it comes,
382
00:15:13.100 --> 00:15:16.190
the resistance is gone
and the blessing comes.
383
00:15:16.190 --> 00:15:18.950
There's the Here and the There Principle. That is
384
00:15:18.950 --> 00:15:20.030
so good. And that's in this
385
00:15:20.030 --> 00:15:21.030
book.
386
00:15:21.030 --> 00:15:23.150
It sure is. I think of Hebrews 5:14
387
00:15:23.150 --> 00:15:25.490
where it talks about those that through reason
388
00:15:25.490 --> 00:15:26.870
of use, exercise
389
00:15:26.870 --> 00:15:29.330
there's senses. And I believe a lot of that has to do
390
00:15:29.330 --> 00:15:30.560
with our natural senses.
391
00:15:30.560 --> 00:15:32.750
In other words, we exercise those
392
00:15:32.750 --> 00:15:34.700
to come under the authority
of the word of God.
393
00:15:34.700 --> 00:15:38.030
And when we do this, those
senses that are exercised,
394
00:15:38.030 --> 00:15:40.670
I believe means they're
submitted to faith.
395
00:15:40.670 --> 00:15:42.650
They're submitted to the word of God.
396
00:15:42.650 --> 00:15:45.140
That when you begin to do that, then suddenly
397
00:15:45.140 --> 00:15:48.440
you develop a ability to
discern between good and evil.
398
00:15:48.440 --> 00:15:49.460
When you're talking about praying
399
00:15:49.460 --> 00:15:52.280
and moving things out of the way, you can feel it happening.
400
00:15:52.280 --> 00:15:53.840
That's because your senses. Rick,
401
00:15:53.840 --> 00:15:55.670
are exercised to the word of God.
402
00:15:55.670 --> 00:15:57.260
Well, I want to say something about that verse.
403
00:15:57.260 --> 00:15:58.260
Please help me.
404
00:15:58.260 --> 00:16:00.650
Because that word, exercised - Yes -
405
00:16:00.650 --> 00:16:04.100
it describes the most strenuous kind of exercise.
406
00:16:04.100 --> 00:16:07.580
Which means, in order to submit your mind to truth
407
00:16:07.580 --> 00:16:11.000
and to do what you're talking about -
408
00:16:11.000 --> 00:16:12.320
you gotta be committed.
409
00:16:12.320 --> 00:16:13.880
And actually it's the Greek word, gumnoszo.
410
00:16:13.880 --> 00:16:16.370
It means to exercise while naked.
411
00:16:16.370 --> 00:16:17.930
Wow. - Which means you gotta strip off
412
00:16:17.930 --> 00:16:19.760
of everything that would hinder you.
413
00:16:19.760 --> 00:16:22.520
And you've gotta give
yourself fully to this.
414
00:16:22.520 --> 00:16:25.790
You can't just try this,
you gotta say, I'm stripping
415
00:16:25.790 --> 00:16:27.350
of everything that would hinder me.
416
00:16:27.350 --> 00:16:30.380
Every wrong thought, every
lazy bone in my body,
417
00:16:30.380 --> 00:16:31.760
I'm gonna remove it
418
00:16:31.760 --> 00:16:33.560
and I'm gonna give myself to this
419
00:16:33.560 --> 00:16:35.420
until my mind is exercised.
420
00:16:35.420 --> 00:16:37.760
Yeah - and submitted to the word of God.
421
00:16:37.760 --> 00:16:39.410
And it really takes a commitment.
422
00:16:39.410 --> 00:16:42.560
Well, what you think about
is what you're developing;
423
00:16:42.560 --> 00:16:44.990
what you're listening to is where you're headed.
424
00:16:44.990 --> 00:16:46.820
And so that's why I listen to Rick - say that again -
425
00:16:46.820 --> 00:16:49.445
What you think about is what
you're developing, you know
426
00:16:49.445 --> 00:16:50.750
and it's time to start thinking
427
00:16:50.750 --> 00:16:51.920
about what we're thinking about.
428
00:16:51.920 --> 00:16:54.230
Okay. - And what you look at, or what you read
429
00:16:54.230 --> 00:16:57.050
or what you observe is
where you're headed.
430
00:16:57.050 --> 00:16:59.810
You know, what you listen
to is leading you somewhere.
431
00:16:59.810 --> 00:17:02.030
That's why I listen to Rick Renner all the time. Hmm.
432
00:17:02.030 --> 00:17:03.140
I listen to your teaching.
433
00:17:03.140 --> 00:17:05.420
We need to fill ourselves,
not just with the written word
434
00:17:05.420 --> 00:17:08.720
of God, but faith teaching
that coincides with it.
435
00:17:08.720 --> 00:17:11.540
We do that and we're gonna begin to build up that mechanism
436
00:17:11.540 --> 00:17:14.630
of rightly discerning between what is good, what is evil.
437
00:17:14.630 --> 00:17:17.090
I like what you said earlier too, about
438
00:17:17.090 --> 00:17:19.100
how you would bend your brain to the word of God.
439
00:17:19.100 --> 00:17:21.140
That was in the last program. It was.
440
00:17:21.140 --> 00:17:22.850
But we need to really do that.
441
00:17:22.850 --> 00:17:25.130
We need to take authority over the things
442
00:17:25.130 --> 00:17:27.830
that we're thinking about by
bending our brain to the word
443
00:17:27.830 --> 00:17:29.360
of God, developing in it.
444
00:17:29.360 --> 00:17:31.640
And I believe then what
happens is this here
445
00:17:31.640 --> 00:17:34.490
and there principle,
it begins to, for lack
446
00:17:34.490 --> 00:17:37.100
of a better word, thin
the veil, so to speak.
447
00:17:37.100 --> 00:17:38.570
So we get better access from the
448
00:17:38.570 --> 00:17:40.130
spirit realm to the natural.
449
00:17:40.130 --> 00:17:41.630
You know, I wanna say,
you need to be careful
450
00:17:41.630 --> 00:17:42.830
what you put in your brain.
451
00:17:42.830 --> 00:17:45.560
Yes sir. I go to bed very early, not
452
00:17:45.560 --> 00:17:47.630
because I like to go to bed early, but
453
00:17:47.630 --> 00:17:50.520
because I don't know what else to do.
454
00:17:50.520 --> 00:17:53.130
You know, I go to bed about seven o'clock
455
00:17:53.130 --> 00:17:56.760
and when I talk to my friends,
most of them from seven
456
00:17:56.760 --> 00:17:59.550
until bedtime, they're
surfing the internet.
457
00:17:59.550 --> 00:18:03.335
Yeah. Or they're watching tv
and it's a bunch of garbage.
458
00:18:03.335 --> 00:18:06.870
It's, it's not doing one
thing for their minds.
459
00:18:06.870 --> 00:18:09.120
And in fact, very often it's doing bad things
460
00:18:09.120 --> 00:18:11.160
for their minds. My friends,
461
00:18:11.160 --> 00:18:12.780
your mind is like a movie theater.
462
00:18:12.780 --> 00:18:15.930
What? It sees it, it stays in your head
463
00:18:15.930 --> 00:18:17.700
and you need to make sure
you're putting the right
464
00:18:17.700 --> 00:18:19.140
things in your mind.
465
00:18:19.140 --> 00:18:21.030
So about seven o'clock
in the evening, Joseph.
466
00:18:21.030 --> 00:18:24.150
Yeah. - I'm not gonna sit around and watch TV.
467
00:18:24.150 --> 00:18:26.790
I'm just, I, I value my
mind too much. That's right.
468
00:18:26.790 --> 00:18:28.170
It's too important. That's right.
469
00:18:28.170 --> 00:18:30.690
So I just go to bed, I
get a good night's sleep,
470
00:18:30.690 --> 00:18:33.660
get up in the morning, start
immediately with my Bible.
471
00:18:33.660 --> 00:18:35.640
And since we're talking about
the mind, I want to ask you,
472
00:18:35.640 --> 00:18:37.170
are you reading your Bible?
473
00:18:37.170 --> 00:18:40.050
Amen. You need to be reading your Bible.
474
00:18:40.050 --> 00:18:43.950
I have a personal rule that if
I don't read my Bible first,
475
00:18:43.950 --> 00:18:45.750
then I don't eat. Well
476
00:18:45.750 --> 00:18:48.150
I want to eat. So I read my Bible,
477
00:18:48.150 --> 00:18:50.580
but why would I treat my body
478
00:18:50.580 --> 00:18:52.590
as more important than my spirit?
479
00:18:52.590 --> 00:18:56.460
Hey, out of the heart
are the issues of life.
480
00:18:56.460 --> 00:18:58.800
You need to be making sure
you're putting the right fuel
481
00:18:58.800 --> 00:19:00.750
into your heart and into your mind.
482
00:19:00.750 --> 00:19:03.000
That's where renews your mind.
483
00:19:03.000 --> 00:19:05.280
You gotta bend your
brain like Joseph said.
484
00:19:05.280 --> 00:19:07.560
And I mean you've gotta
really bend your brain.
485
00:19:07.560 --> 00:19:09.750
It's a very intentional thing to do.
486
00:19:09.750 --> 00:19:11.640
I'm gonna think the thoughts of God,
487
00:19:12.720 --> 00:19:14.970
it will radically transform your life.
488
00:19:14.970 --> 00:19:19.140
And this is a very big
part of spiritual warfare
489
00:19:19.140 --> 00:19:20.610
that works.
490
00:19:20.610 --> 00:19:23.790
And Joseph, very often people just want
491
00:19:23.790 --> 00:19:25.020
hands to be laid on them.
492
00:19:25.020 --> 00:19:26.580
A blessing to be spoken over them.
493
00:19:26.580 --> 00:19:28.800
But they don't want to do
the hard part. That's right.
494
00:19:28.800 --> 00:19:30.000
But the hard part is
495
00:19:30.000 --> 00:19:31.000
where the victory is
496
00:19:31.000 --> 00:19:33.025
won. - It's really a part of discipleship.
497
00:19:33.025 --> 00:19:34.208
It is: discipline,
498
00:19:34.208 --> 00:19:35.432
followers of Jesus.
499
00:19:35.432 --> 00:19:38.550
That word disciple discipline,
that we commit ourselves,
500
00:19:38.550 --> 00:19:41.670
we be loyal to Jesus, we be
loyal to the word of God.
501
00:19:41.670 --> 00:19:43.410
And when we do this,
we're building ourself
502
00:19:43.410 --> 00:19:44.640
up in our most holy faith.
503
00:19:44.640 --> 00:19:47.400
Then you add praying in the
spirit, you begin to add,
504
00:19:47.400 --> 00:19:48.600
you know, faith confessions,
505
00:19:48.600 --> 00:19:50.400
and you're gonna get real horsepower.
506
00:19:50.400 --> 00:19:51.660
You will see results.
507
00:19:51.660 --> 00:19:54.540
I like to say it this way,
you know, even on a bad day,
508
00:19:54.540 --> 00:19:56.610
we're anointed to be the
very best person. I love it
509
00:19:56.610 --> 00:19:58.140
When you say
That. So say it
510
00:19:58.140 --> 00:19:59.140
Again.
511
00:19:59.140 --> 00:20:01.380
Even on a bad day, you are anointed
512
00:20:01.380 --> 00:20:03.660
to be the very best there is.
513
00:20:03.660 --> 00:20:05.880
And God has anointed us that way.
514
00:20:05.880 --> 00:20:09.090
And when we recognize that
we can develop the word
515
00:20:09.090 --> 00:20:11.430
of God in our heart, we can stand up under
516
00:20:11.430 --> 00:20:12.990
anything, under anything.
517
00:20:12.990 --> 00:20:15.360
I often think about early church martyrs
518
00:20:15.360 --> 00:20:16.440
that went into the arena
519
00:20:16.440 --> 00:20:18.270
and some of them fought with each other
520
00:20:18.270 --> 00:20:19.860
to see who would go first.
521
00:20:19.860 --> 00:20:22.560
That type of scenario
comes from a revelation,
522
00:20:22.560 --> 00:20:23.700
that revelation knowledge
523
00:20:23.700 --> 00:20:26.100
that is revealed knowledge to your spirit.
524
00:20:26.100 --> 00:20:27.450
And then you get it into the natural.
525
00:20:27.450 --> 00:20:29.670
You get it into your soul
by reading the word of God,
526
00:20:29.670 --> 00:20:30.720
by praying in the spirit.
527
00:20:30.720 --> 00:20:33.090
And then when you speak
to powers of darkness,
528
00:20:33.090 --> 00:20:35.010
you're gonna have real results.
529
00:20:35.010 --> 00:20:37.590 line:15%
You know the Bible says that
when Jesus spoke to the wind
530
00:20:37.590 --> 00:20:41.130 line:15%
and the waves, that the disciples were stunned by this.
531
00:20:41.130 --> 00:20:44.400 line:15%
And they all said that they were amazed that even
532
00:20:45.360 --> 00:20:47.440 line:15%
the wind and the waves obeyed him.
533
00:20:47.440 --> 00:20:50.260 line:15%
Amazing. And that word, obeyed, is a military term
534
00:20:50.260 --> 00:20:52.480 line:15%
which means - to fall in line.
535
00:20:52.480 --> 00:20:55.090 line:15%
When you have a mind that is renewed
536
00:20:55.090 --> 00:20:56.980
and your heart is filled
with the word of God,
537
00:20:56.980 --> 00:20:59.830
your mouth becomes a very powerful weapon.
538
00:21:01.630 --> 00:21:06.160
And when you speak to
evil, it falls in line.
539
00:21:06.160 --> 00:21:09.700
It recognizes the voice of authority.
540
00:21:09.700 --> 00:21:11.620
Now there's a lot of
Christians who speak evil,
541
00:21:11.620 --> 00:21:14.380
but they, they've not really
done what is necessary
542
00:21:14.380 --> 00:21:15.610
to be filled with the word of God
543
00:21:15.610 --> 00:21:17.230
so they don't have any results.
544
00:21:17.230 --> 00:21:19.480
Yeah. - You gotta bend
your brain, renew your mind,
545
00:21:19.480 --> 00:21:23.470
fill your heart, and then
your mouth becomes a conduit.
546
00:21:23.470 --> 00:21:26.770
And when you speak with
authority, the devil
547
00:21:26.770 --> 00:21:29.320
and demons will recognize your authority
548
00:21:29.320 --> 00:21:31.270
and they will fall in line.
549
00:21:31.270 --> 00:21:33.310
They will obey you.
550
00:21:33.310 --> 00:21:35.800
That's so good. It's so good Rick.
551
00:21:35.800 --> 00:21:38.470 line:15%
And when we put ourselves on
that place, put ourselves in
552
00:21:38.470 --> 00:21:41.290 line:15%
that position with the Lord,
he wants to work with us.
553
00:21:41.290 --> 00:21:43.810 line:15%
He's looking to get this job accomplished.
554
00:21:43.810 --> 00:21:45.610 line:15%
And you line up with God in this area,
555
00:21:45.610 --> 00:21:47.020 line:15%
the miraculous will happen.
556
00:21:47.020 --> 00:21:49.180 line:15%
Oh, that's what everybody
wants. That's right.
557
00:21:49.180 --> 00:21:51.220 line:15%
Well, we're out of time, but
we're gonna be back tomorrow.
558
00:21:51.220 --> 00:21:52.330 line:15%
We're gonna pick up right here.
559
00:21:52.330 --> 00:21:55.840 line:15%
Tomorrow's gonna be our last episode in this amazing series.
560
00:21:55.840 --> 00:21:57.580 line:15%
And thank you for being
with me. Thank you, sir.
561
00:21:57.580 --> 00:21:59.680
But Joseph and I will
be back in just a moment
562
00:21:59.680 --> 00:22:01.180
and we're gonna pray for you.
563
00:22:01.180 --> 00:22:05.200 line:15%
As culture is driven toward
chaos by unseen forces,
564
00:22:05.200 --> 00:22:06.460 line:15%
believers must learn
565
00:22:06.460 --> 00:22:09.820
to use every spiritual
tool God has provided.
566
00:22:09.820 --> 00:22:12.910
But how do you fight an enemy you cannot see.
567
00:22:12.910 --> 00:22:16.570
While the lost may be dominated by the ruler of this world,
568
00:22:16.570 --> 00:22:20.140
the saved can close doors to deception when their ability
569
00:22:20.140 --> 00:22:23.110
to trust outweighs their need to understand.
570
00:22:23.110 --> 00:22:26.770 line:15%

This is Rick Renner, and
today I'm in the Tulsa office
590
00:23:22.720 --> 00:23:26.020
and this is another part
of our new TV studio.
591
00:23:26.020 --> 00:23:29.170
This is where Denise
is filming TV programs
592
00:23:29.170 --> 00:23:32.200 line:15%
and how wonderful the Now we
have two little studios, one
593
00:23:32.200 --> 00:23:36.340 line:15%
for her and one for me where
we can interview guests
594
00:23:36.340 --> 00:23:37.780 line:15%
who can't come all the way to Russia
595
00:23:37.780 --> 00:23:39.730 line:15%
to be interviewed in our studio there.
596
00:23:39.730 --> 00:23:41.650 line:15%
So when we're in the United States,
597
00:23:41.650 --> 00:23:43.420 line:15%
we can interview them here.
598
00:23:43.420 --> 00:23:47.090 line:15%
And that's what we've been doing all week in this wonderful
599
00:23:47.090 --> 00:23:50.840
facility, which God gave us in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
600
00:23:50.840 --> 00:23:53.300
We're so grateful for this building.
601
00:23:53.300 --> 00:23:54.920
It was really a gift from the Lord
602
00:23:54.920 --> 00:23:59.920 line:15%
and it's almost paid for. We've already retired 86%
603
00:23:59.930 --> 00:24:01.670 line:15%
of the debt.
604
00:24:01.670 --> 00:24:03.830 line:15%
We just need to go a
little ways to finish this.
605
00:24:03.830 --> 00:24:07.010 line:15%
We call it the Ministry Expansion Project
606
00:24:07.010 --> 00:24:09.380
because when this is finished, it's going
607
00:24:09.380 --> 00:24:12.860 line:15%
to allow the ministry to
really expand financially,
608
00:24:12.860 --> 00:24:15.320 line:15%
to wrap our arms around the whole world
609
00:24:15.320 --> 00:24:18.650 line:15%
where people need the trusted
teaching of the Bible.
610
00:24:18.650 --> 00:24:20.810 line:15%
And we know that's our calling.
611
00:24:20.810 --> 00:24:22.940 line:15%
And if you're part of the Giving Team, I want
612
00:24:22.940 --> 00:24:24.380 line:15%
to say "thank you" for helping us
613
00:24:24.380 --> 00:24:26.180 line:15%
to retire the dead on this facility
614
00:24:26.180 --> 00:24:28.400 line:15%
and to release those finances.
615
00:24:28.400 --> 00:24:30.110 line:15%
And if you're not a part
of the Giving Team yet,
616
00:24:30.110 --> 00:24:32.630 line:15%
I'm inviting you today to join us
617
00:24:32.630 --> 00:24:35.540 line:15%
to help us finish this project.
618
00:24:35.540 --> 00:24:38.780 line:15%
Wow. What a shout, a victory
we're gonna give to God on
619
00:24:38.780 --> 00:24:40.640 line:15%
that day when it's done.
620
00:24:40.640 --> 00:24:43.400 line:15%
And just think of the people
that are going to be reached.
621
00:24:43.400 --> 00:24:45.560 line:15%
So thank you for being a part
622
00:24:45.560 --> 00:24:47.510 line:15%
of the Ministry Expansion Project.
623
00:24:51.320 --> 00:24:54.200 line:15%
Well, today we have had a wonderful program with Joseph Z
624
00:24:54.200 --> 00:24:55.700 line:15%
and Joseph, thank you for being here.
625
00:24:55.700 --> 00:24:57.320 line:15%
It's a privilege, sir. Thank you.
626
00:24:57.320 --> 00:24:59.780 line:15%
I like to do anything we can do together. - Same,
627
00:24:59.780 --> 00:25:01.460 line:15%
thank you. - And thank you for being here
628
00:25:01.460 --> 00:25:02.690 line:15%
with my friends.
629
00:25:02.690 --> 00:25:03.830 line:15%
And this week Joseph
630
00:25:03.830 --> 00:25:06.770 line:15%
and I are doing a series called, Punishing the Darkness.
631
00:25:06.770 --> 00:25:09.800 line:15%
It is spiritual warfare that works.
632
00:25:09.800 --> 00:25:13.430 line:15%
It comes in 5-parts,
comes with a study guide.
633
00:25:13.430 --> 00:25:14.720 line:15%
Joseph, when you see the study
634
00:25:14.720 --> 00:25:15.950 line:15%
guide, you're gonna be blessed.
635
00:25:15.950 --> 00:25:18.500 line:15%
I can't wait. I mean, it's really amazing.
636
00:25:18.500 --> 00:25:21.050 line:15%
And I want to tell you
about Joseph's book,
637
00:25:21.050 --> 00:25:23.060 line:15%
which is called Punishing the Darkness.
638
00:25:23.060 --> 00:25:26.480 line:15%
The Forwards are by Mike Signorelli and Alan Didio.
639
00:25:26.480 --> 00:25:29.540 line:15%
But the meat of this book is about Spiritual
640
00:25:29.540 --> 00:25:30.800 line:15%
Warfare That Works.
641
00:25:30.800 --> 00:25:32.900 line:15%
Now, maybe you already have my book, Dressed to Kill.
642
00:25:32.900 --> 00:25:34.670 line:15%
If not, you need to get it. Amen.
643
00:25:34.670 --> 00:25:36.530 line:15%
But now you need to have this book.
644
00:25:36.530 --> 00:25:38.960 line:15%
It is a completely different approach.
645
00:25:38.960 --> 00:25:42.260 line:15%
It is biblical and it
really is about spiritual
646
00:25:42.260 --> 00:25:44.090 line:15%
warfare that works.
647
00:25:44.090 --> 00:25:47.600
You know, Joseph, either people don't touch this subject
648
00:25:47.600 --> 00:25:49.040
or they teach it really bad.
649
00:25:49.040 --> 00:25:50.705
I agree. I agree.
650
00:25:50.705 --> 00:25:54.470
And when and when you find
something that's really good,
651
00:25:54.470 --> 00:25:56.570
I always wanna recommend
it to people and friends.
652
00:25:56.570 --> 00:25:58.940 line:15%
That's why I'm recommending it to you.
653
00:25:58.940 --> 00:26:02.510 line:15%
But you can find out about these resources by going online
654
00:26:02.510 --> 00:26:04.670 line:15%
or by giving us a call.
655
00:26:04.670 --> 00:26:07.520 line:15%
And it's not a cliche When I
say to you that we wanna pray
656
00:26:07.520 --> 00:26:09.260 line:15%
for you, we really want to pray for you.
657
00:26:09.260 --> 00:26:12.020 line:15%
Not far from where I'm sitting
right now is our partner
658
00:26:12.020 --> 00:26:13.730 line:15%
care ministry.
659
00:26:13.730 --> 00:26:16.040 line:15%
There is a roar of prayer
in that department.
660
00:26:16.910 --> 00:26:19.880 line:15%
People praying for people
who reach out to us, praying
661
00:26:19.880 --> 00:26:22.130 line:15%
for our friends and our partners.
662
00:26:22.130 --> 00:26:23.900 line:15%
And if you need somebody to pray with you,
663
00:26:23.900 --> 00:26:27.050 line:15%
we will really get behind
you and Jesus will answer
664
00:26:27.050 --> 00:26:29.690 line:15%
and do something marvelous for you.
665
00:26:29.690 --> 00:26:31.670 line:15%
But Joseph and I want to pray for you - Yes -
666
00:26:31.670 --> 00:26:33.860 line:15%
Father, we thank you that
we've been together today.
667
00:26:33.860 --> 00:26:35.450 line:15%
Thank you Lord. We thank you, father,
668
00:26:35.450 --> 00:26:38.000 line:15%
that we can win the battle for our minds.
669
00:26:38.000 --> 00:26:41.570 line:15%
Yes, Lord - Oh Lord, we bend our brains to truth
670
00:26:41.570 --> 00:26:43.860 line:15%
and we ask that Your
truth within through us
671
00:26:43.860 --> 00:26:46.440 line:15%
as if we are conduits
of power and authority.
672

Yes, Lord. In Jesus name,
Jesus name. Amen. Amen. Amen.
673
00:26:50.460 --> 00:26:53.340
Alright, Joseph. Okay. We'll be back tomorrow.
674
00:26:53.340 --> 00:26:56.280
But remember Ecclesiastes 8:4 says, "Where the word
675
00:26:56.280 --> 00:26:59.010
of a king is, there is power."
676
00:26:59.010 --> 00:27:01.920
If you've never received Jesus as your Savior
677
00:27:01.920 --> 00:27:06.300
and Lord, now is the time for
you to experience a new life
678
00:27:06.300 --> 00:27:08.460
Jesus has to give you.
679
00:27:08.460 --> 00:27:12.540
Pray this prayer with me right now - Lord,
680
00:27:12.540 --> 00:27:16.560
I repent of my sin and receive you as my Savior
681
00:27:16.560 --> 00:27:19.530
and Lord. Wash away my sin
682
00:27:19.530 --> 00:27:22.560
and make me completely new.
683
00:27:22.560 --> 00:27:26.340
I thank you that my sin is removed
684
00:27:26.340 --> 00:27:31.340
and Satan no longer has any
right to lay claim on me.
685
00:27:31.890 --> 00:27:35.880
I faithfully promise that
I will serve you as my Lord
686
00:27:35.880 --> 00:27:37.560
for the rest of my life.
687
00:27:38.460 --> 00:27:39.460
Amen.
688
00:27:40.950 --> 00:27:43.770
