00:00:01.680 --> 00:00:04.380
This program is made
possible by the giving
2
00:00:04.380 --> 00:00:08.460
of the God called partners
of Renner Ministries.
3
00:00:08.460 --> 00:00:11.670
Get ready for a teaching
that feeds your spirit
4
00:00:11.670 --> 00:00:15.240
and your mind where the
word is the anchor in
5
00:00:15.240 --> 00:00:17.220
uncertain times
6
00:00:17.220 --> 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 --> 00:00:26.490
but dive deep revealing a
truth that strengthens us,
9
00:00:27.360 --> 00:00:29.010
a love that emboldens,
10
00:00:30.390 --> 00:00:32.550
and a mission that touches the world.
11
00:00:34.890 --> 00:00:36.000
Let's join Rick
12
00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:37.000
Renner.
13
00:00:38.370 --> 00:00:39.840
Welcome to today's program.
14
00:00:39.840 --> 00:00:43.410
My name is Rick Renner and
I've been waiting for you
15
00:00:43.410 --> 00:00:45.300
and not just me, but me
16
00:00:45.300 --> 00:00:47.820
and my friend Joseph Z.
Good to be with you, Rick.
17
00:00:47.820 --> 00:00:49.380
Thank you. I'm glad to be with you
18
00:00:49.380 --> 00:00:50.670
and you've been with me all week.
19
00:00:50.670 --> 00:00:52.620
I've really enjoyed this. Well, thank you.
20
00:00:52.620 --> 00:00:54.840
And you've been with our friends at home,
21
00:00:54.840 --> 00:00:58.050
and I wanna say thank you for
tuning in and letting Joseph
22
00:00:58.050 --> 00:01:00.540
and me come right to where you are.
23
00:01:00.540 --> 00:01:03.270
And today we're gonna
begin talking about the
24
00:01:03.270 --> 00:01:04.650 line:15%
weapons of warfare.
25
00:01:04.650 --> 00:01:07.470
What are the weapons,
which God has given to us.
26
00:01:07.470 --> 00:01:09.870
Now, I wrote a book called Dress to Kill,
27
00:01:09.870 --> 00:01:11.640 line:15%
which is really a biblical approach
28
00:01:11.640 --> 00:01:13.470 line:15%
to spiritual warfare and to armor.
29
00:01:13.470 --> 00:01:14.940 line:15%
I've got all kinds of photos
30
00:01:14.940 --> 00:01:17.040 line:15%
and art illustrations to show you
31
00:01:17.040 --> 00:01:18.930 line:15%
what these weapons look like.
32
00:01:18.930 --> 00:01:21.900 line:15%
But we're doing a series this week,
33
00:01:21.900 --> 00:01:23.700
which is called Punishing the Darkness,
34
00:01:23.700 --> 00:01:26.340 line:15%
Spiritual Warfare That Works.
35
00:01:26.340 --> 00:01:29.940 line:15%
And Joseph has a book called
Punishing the Darkness,
36
00:01:29.940 --> 00:01:33.780 line:15%
where he also talks
about the weapons of war.
37
00:01:33.780 --> 00:01:36.960 line:15%
And the way that he deals
with them are just wonderful.
38
00:01:36.960 --> 00:01:39.780 line:15%
So today I want us to go there. Okay?
39
00:01:39.780 --> 00:01:41.700 line:15%
But if you need prayer, reach out to us.
40
00:01:41.700 --> 00:01:43.410 line:15%
We wanna pray for you.
41
00:01:43.410 --> 00:01:44.550 line:15%
If you'll call us
42
00:01:44.550 --> 00:01:48.210 line:15%
or send us an email, we
will release our faith
43
00:01:48.210 --> 00:01:52.020 line:15%
and Jesus really will do
what needs to be done.
44
00:01:52.020 --> 00:01:53.580
But Joseph, let's dive in.
45
00:01:53.580 --> 00:01:56.430
Yes, sir. - Let's talk about weapons of war
46
00:01:56.430 --> 00:01:58.290
and spiritual warfare that works.
47
00:01:58.290 --> 00:02:01.350
Well, I think about Psalm 149, right outta the gate.
48
00:02:01.350 --> 00:02:03.240
Okay. When you get into
that whole picture, it says,
49
00:02:03.240 --> 00:02:05.400
let the saints be joyful in glory.
50
00:02:05.400 --> 00:02:08.220
Let them sing. Isn't
that interesting? It is.
51
00:02:08.220 --> 00:02:11.400
Let them sing aloud,
it says on their beds.
52
00:02:11.400 --> 00:02:13.230
I think that's just a fascinating thing.
53
00:02:13.230 --> 00:02:15.120
You know, I'm reminded
54
00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:17.730
of Saul when David would play the heart
55
00:02:17.730 --> 00:02:19.500
and he had a tormenting spirit.
56
00:02:19.500 --> 00:02:21.990
And there's something
about praise and worship
57
00:02:21.990 --> 00:02:25.620
and music that can actually help you get
58
00:02:25.620 --> 00:02:26.620
peaceful.
59
00:02:26.620 --> 00:02:28.920
I even think it's important
that it says upon their beds.
60
00:02:28.920 --> 00:02:32.460
Yeah. Because often
spiritual attacks begin
61
00:02:32.460 --> 00:02:33.600
during your sleep.
62
00:02:33.600 --> 00:02:36.120
Yeah. - When you're laying
there trying to go to sleep,
63
00:02:36.120 --> 00:02:39.540
and suddenly your mind is filled with all kinds of worries
64
00:02:39.540 --> 00:02:41.910
and fret and problems and what if,
65
00:02:41.910 --> 00:02:43.710
or you wake up in the morning
66
00:02:43.710 --> 00:02:46.830 line:15%
and suddenly your mind is filled with all kinds of things
67
00:02:46.830 --> 00:02:48.840 line:15%
before you ever get out of
bed, lift up your voice,
68
00:02:48.840 --> 00:02:50.940 line:15%
sing aloud up your bet. I believe in
69
00:02:50.940 --> 00:02:51.940 line:15%
that.
70
00:02:51.940 --> 00:02:53.250 line:15%
Yeah. I think it's so powerful.
71
00:02:53.250 --> 00:02:54.510 line:15%
And then it says that the high praise
72
00:02:54.510 --> 00:02:55.710 line:15%
of God be in your mouth.
73
00:02:55.710 --> 00:02:57.810 line:15%
And then it goes to that
two-edged sword in your hand.
74
00:02:57.810 --> 00:03:02.020 line:15%
So you've got worship and
word. Right. Worship and word.
75
00:03:02.020 --> 00:03:04.450
So you're a singer. You're worshiping God.
76
00:03:04.450 --> 00:03:06.400
You..don't even have to be a good singer,
77
00:03:06.400 --> 00:03:07.400
of course.
78
00:03:07.400 --> 00:03:08.233
It's not about your voice.
79
00:03:08.233 --> 00:03:09.730
You just begin to magnify the Lord
80
00:03:09.730 --> 00:03:11.980
and you'll begin to change the atmosphere.
81
00:03:11.980 --> 00:03:13.330
And peace is what came
82
00:03:13.330 --> 00:03:15.070
to Saul when David would play the harp.
83
00:03:15.070 --> 00:03:16.810
There's something about that I think
84
00:03:16.810 --> 00:03:18.160
of even the prophet Elisha.
85
00:03:18.160 --> 00:03:20.800
He said, bring me a minstrel
that I might prophesy.
86
00:03:20.800 --> 00:03:22.180
And many people think, well,
87
00:03:22.180 --> 00:03:24.430
he needed the anointing to prophesy.
88
00:03:24.430 --> 00:03:27.250
Well, it could also be that
he needed peace in his soul.
89
00:03:27.250 --> 00:03:29.260
'cause he was so upset with
the king he was talking
90
00:03:29.260 --> 00:03:30.850
to, or the son of the king.
91
00:03:30.850 --> 00:03:32.770
He was so upset. He said,
bring me a minstrel.
92
00:03:32.770 --> 00:03:34.150
I'm so irritated right now.
93
00:03:34.150 --> 00:03:35.920
I need to just calm myself
94
00:03:35.920 --> 00:03:38.230
so I can get back into
the flow of the spirit.
95
00:03:38.230 --> 00:03:40.090
And you know, music is very powerful.
96
00:03:40.090 --> 00:03:44.260
Yes. - The the sounds of music can change the atmosphere.
97
00:03:44.260 --> 00:03:46.660
My friend Phil Driscoll talks about it all the time. Wow.
98
00:03:46.660 --> 00:03:48.340
That there are certain tones,
99
00:03:48.340 --> 00:03:50.740
there are certain sounds
which literally can
100
00:03:50.740 --> 00:03:51.910
change the atmosphere.
101
00:03:51.910 --> 00:03:54.370
And my son, Philip Renner - Yes -
102
00:03:54.370 --> 00:03:56.080
goes where no one's willing to go.
103
00:03:56.080 --> 00:03:57.880
I say that Philip charges right into the
104
00:03:57.880 --> 00:03:59.050
very throat of hell.
105
00:03:59.050 --> 00:04:01.480
He sure does.
Pulls out his guitar, begins
106
00:04:01.480 --> 00:04:05.350
to worship in the most
unimaginable places.
107
00:04:05.350 --> 00:04:07.690
And he says they're shocking the darkness.
108
00:04:07.690 --> 00:04:09.340
And Joseph, it is the truth.
109
00:04:09.340 --> 00:04:11.980
They literally repel darkness
110
00:04:11.980 --> 00:04:13.990
by just opening their mouths and beginning
111
00:04:13.990 --> 00:04:14.990
to sing.
112
00:04:14.990 --> 00:04:16.180
Well, he's like combative worship.
113
00:04:16.180 --> 00:04:18.850
He goes in and just drives out demonic
114
00:04:18.850 --> 00:04:20.050
forces with his guitar.
115
00:04:20.050 --> 00:04:22.570
He does. It's exactly what Psalm 149's about.
116
00:04:22.570 --> 00:04:24.850
Real spiritual warfare
Is real spiritual warfare.
117
00:04:24.850 --> 00:04:26.530
And there's something
about worship the devil
118
00:04:26.530 --> 00:04:27.880
hates. You step into that
119
00:04:27.880 --> 00:04:30.040
And people say, oh, come on.
120
00:04:30.040 --> 00:04:32.320
How could this singing a
song drive back darkness?
121
00:04:32.320 --> 00:04:34.390
Well, think about the Battle of Jericho.
122
00:04:34.390 --> 00:04:35.860
How could just raising their voice
123
00:04:35.860 --> 00:04:37.360
and shouting bring down walls?
124
00:04:37.360 --> 00:04:40.540
It did. It. Did you have to
remember that the weapons
125
00:04:40.540 --> 00:04:42.730
of our warfare are not carnal.
126
00:04:42.730 --> 00:04:44.980
They're not natural. They're different.
127
00:04:44.980 --> 00:04:47.320
Yeah. - They're of a different realm.
128
00:04:47.320 --> 00:04:50.800
And they work differently
and they really work.
129
00:04:50.800 --> 00:04:52.690
I like it when it says in Psalm 149,
130
00:04:52.690 --> 00:04:54.137
let the high praise of God be
131
00:04:54.137 --> 00:04:55.053
Yes, that's right.
132
00:04:55.053 --> 00:04:56.920
And that's different than
just, oh, praise you, Lord.
133
00:04:56.920 --> 00:04:58.960
That is like everything you've got.
134
00:04:58.960 --> 00:05:00.580
Like you are bringing God a shout,
135
00:05:00.580 --> 00:05:01.840
you're bringing God, all these things.
136
00:05:01.840 --> 00:05:03.850
And there is an effectiveness in this.
137
00:05:03.850 --> 00:05:05.710
The two-edged sword in your
hand, I believe that has to do
138
00:05:05.710 --> 00:05:07.300
with the renewing of your mind.
139
00:05:07.300 --> 00:05:09.791
The Bible, the Bible - the two-edged sword -
140
00:05:09.791 --> 00:05:11.074
speaking the word
141
00:05:11.074 --> 00:05:12.910
of God and doing that.
142
00:05:12.910 --> 00:05:14.950
And then it says to do something,
143
00:05:14.950 --> 00:05:16.990
to execute vengeance on the nations
144
00:05:16.990 --> 00:05:18.970
and punishments on the peoples.
145
00:05:18.970 --> 00:05:21.220
Now, I believe, to bind
their kings with chains
146
00:05:21.220 --> 00:05:23.230
and their nobles with fetters of iron is what it goes on to
147
00:05:23.230 --> 00:05:24.230
Say.
148
00:05:24.230 --> 00:05:25.063
Do you think those are
principalities and power?
149
00:05:25.063 --> 00:05:26.680
I think so. I really believe that
150
00:05:26.680 --> 00:05:29.680
that is the privilege given to the saints.
151
00:05:29.680 --> 00:05:30.820
And now when we get born again,
152
00:05:30.820 --> 00:05:32.440
many people believe - Oh, thank you God.
153
00:05:32.440 --> 00:05:35.170
I have my fire insurance. That's it. I'm not going to hell.
154
00:05:35.170 --> 00:05:38.020
Thank you, Jesus. Now that's
a lot to be thankful for.
155
00:05:38.020 --> 00:05:40.240
We should be very thrilled about that.
156
00:05:40.240 --> 00:05:41.830
But there's more that we're called to do,
157
00:05:41.830 --> 00:05:43.960
we're we have a little
life to live before heaven.
158
00:05:43.960 --> 00:05:47.860
That's right. There's s
there's life after salvation.
159
00:05:47.860 --> 00:05:49.660
And we need to take territory.
160
00:05:49.660 --> 00:05:50.710
We do that through prayer,
161
00:05:50.710 --> 00:05:52.990
reading the Bible, doing these things.
162
00:05:52.990 --> 00:05:54.280
And we're equipped for this.
163
00:05:54.280 --> 00:05:56.770
I like to call it the full metal believer,
164
00:05:56.770 --> 00:05:57.860
the full metal believer.
165
00:05:57.860 --> 00:05:59.510
We're armed, we're armed
166
00:05:59.510 --> 00:06:02.780
and truly dangerous in
the spirit against evil.
167
00:06:02.780 --> 00:06:04.610
And when we rise up and do this, I believe
168
00:06:04.610 --> 00:06:06.350
that we can impact nations.
169
00:06:06.350 --> 00:06:09.290
We can impact cultural things through prayer,
170
00:06:09.290 --> 00:06:11.660
through intercession and all of it.
171
00:06:11.660 --> 00:06:13.670
But you have masterfully put
172
00:06:13.670 --> 00:06:15.320
so much together from your book, Dressed
173
00:06:15.320 --> 00:06:17.930
to Kill on the full armor of God. - Well, thank
174
00:06:17.930 --> 00:06:18.930
you Joseph.
175
00:06:18.930 --> 00:06:19.880
And I just think it's tremendous.
176
00:06:19.880 --> 00:06:23.510
So I wanna look at Ephesians 6, very quickly.
177
00:06:23.510 --> 00:06:24.920
Let's go there. Just looking at it.
178
00:06:24.920 --> 00:06:29.090
It says, it goes on to the say here in verse 13.
179
00:06:29.090 --> 00:06:31.130
It says, therefore take
up the whole armor of God
180
00:06:31.130 --> 00:06:34.760
that you may be able to
withstand in the evil day.
181
00:06:34.760 --> 00:06:36.920
Everybody's gonna have an evil day.
182
00:06:36.920 --> 00:06:38.750
That's right.
There's a day you run into,
183
00:06:38.750 --> 00:06:40.460
I've heard you teach this so many times.
184
00:06:40.460 --> 00:06:44.330
I just love it, Rick, and
having done all to stand.
185
00:06:44.330 --> 00:06:46.340
That's right. - And I like
the way that you present this.
186
00:06:46.340 --> 00:06:48.080
And I think this will
be very helpful for you.
187
00:06:48.080 --> 00:06:51.620
Watching right now when you've
done everything standing
188
00:06:51.620 --> 00:06:54.620
doesn't mean I'm just
gonna endure to the end.
189
00:06:54.620 --> 00:06:57.020
It means you see yourself victorious at
190
00:06:57.020 --> 00:06:58.460
the end of the match.
191
00:06:58.460 --> 00:07:00.110
At the end of the match, you'll be the one
192
00:07:00.110 --> 00:07:01.790
standing. And I think that's so
193
00:07:01.790 --> 00:07:02.790
Powerful.
194
00:07:02.790 --> 00:07:03.623
That's, that's really what the, the,
195
00:07:03.623 --> 00:07:05.060
the whole tone of the Greek means.
196
00:07:05.060 --> 00:07:06.560
And when everything's wrapped up
197
00:07:06.560 --> 00:07:09.800
and everything's done, you're
the one that will be standing.
198
00:07:09.800 --> 00:07:12.080
That's powerful. You're
not under the enemy.
199
00:07:12.080 --> 00:07:13.700
He's under your feet.
200
00:07:13.700 --> 00:07:15.950
It's, and so many people have taught this
201
00:07:15.950 --> 00:07:18.500
that they think you gotta
just endure through it.
202
00:07:18.500 --> 00:07:21.080
Right. Just when you, when
all the prayers have failed,
203
00:07:21.080 --> 00:07:23.300
when nothing works
anymore, just stick it out.
204
00:07:23.300 --> 00:07:24.980
Just stick it out. Stick it out. Take the
205
00:07:24.980 --> 00:07:28.310 line:15%
Being the, the, the
prayers work authority works.
206
00:07:28.310 --> 00:07:29.630 line:15%
The Bible works so it couldn't mean
207
00:07:29.630 --> 00:07:32.360 line:15%
that. It's really a divine picture,
208
00:07:32.360 --> 00:07:34.190 line:15%
the snapshot of you at the end.
209
00:07:35.330 --> 00:07:37.460 line:15%
If you do everything at the end,
210
00:07:37.460 --> 00:07:39.170 line:15%
you're the one that's gonna stand.
211
00:07:39.170 --> 00:07:41.330 line:15%
That's God's prophetic snapshot
212
00:07:41.330 --> 00:07:43.490
of you at the end of your fight.
213
00:07:43.490 --> 00:07:45.050
I love that. Thank you. I
214
00:07:45.050 --> 00:07:46.050
really do.
215
00:07:46.050 --> 00:07:47.300
I like it too. Come on Rick.
216
00:07:47.300 --> 00:07:48.500
'cause you get to the end of it.
217
00:07:48.500 --> 00:07:51.320
And if you can see that
by faith, you'll be there.
218
00:07:51.320 --> 00:07:52.760
You'll stand, you gotta see yourself
219
00:07:52.760 --> 00:07:54.020
that way in Christ Jesus.
220
00:07:54.020 --> 00:07:57.170
Oh, I'm beating this. You know, I like to say it this way.
221
00:07:57.170 --> 00:07:58.580
The devil might come walking over,
222
00:07:58.580 --> 00:07:59.780
but he'll go limping back.
223
00:07:59.780 --> 00:08:01.340
Oh my gosh. It makes me
want to pray in touch.
224
00:08:02.360 --> 00:08:03.650
I think I think of this too.
225
00:08:03.650 --> 00:08:04.910
I often say this, A man
226
00:08:04.910 --> 00:08:06.080
or woman of God
227
00:08:06.080 --> 00:08:08.810
with a revelation from
God is not at the mercy
228
00:08:08.810 --> 00:08:10.370
of a culture going mad.
229
00:08:10.370 --> 00:08:12.110
No - this world is stuck here with us.
230
00:08:12.110 --> 00:08:13.760
We're not stuck here with it.
231
00:08:13.760 --> 00:08:16.615
The spirit of God is in us and
greater is he that is in us
232
00:08:16.615 --> 00:08:17.930
and we are overcomers. Yes
233
00:08:17.930 --> 00:08:18.930
we are.
234
00:08:18.930 --> 00:08:22.340
We are absolutely called to overcome: not to cope,
235
00:08:22.340 --> 00:08:23.660
not to get along with.
236
00:08:23.660 --> 00:08:25.610
We are called to overcome.
237
00:08:25.610 --> 00:08:28.370
And I speak it to you in the
name of Jesus. Come on Rick.
238
00:08:28.370 --> 00:08:31.730
I love that. So going
forward, it says, stand
239
00:08:31.730 --> 00:08:34.790
therefore having, I like this past tense.
240
00:08:34.790 --> 00:08:37.340
Having girded your waist with truth,
241
00:08:37.340 --> 00:08:41.060
having put on the breastplate of righteousness: 15
242
00:08:41.060 --> 00:08:44.085
and having shod your feet with the preparation of the
243
00:08:44.085 --> 00:08:44.918
the gospel - Now, is that new King James Version?
244
00:08:44.918 --> 00:08:45.751
It is. - Does it
245
00:08:45.751 --> 00:08:48.201
always say having, having, having?
246
00:08:48.201 --> 00:08:51.260
Okay. And so when I see
it, I see that as past tense.
247
00:08:51.260 --> 00:08:53.840
That's preparation. You, you've done that.
248
00:08:53.840 --> 00:08:56.010
So when we talk about this stand,
249
00:08:56.010 --> 00:08:57.810
therefore having girded
your waist with truth,
250
00:08:57.810 --> 00:08:59.100
that's your daily Bible reading.
251
00:08:59.100 --> 00:09:01.530
It is, it's just the simple
way of looking at it,
252
00:09:01.530 --> 00:09:03.600
having put on the
breastplate of righteousness.
253
00:09:03.600 --> 00:09:07.530
Luke 2:52, Jesus grew in favor, in stature with God,
254
00:09:07.530 --> 00:09:08.820
his vertical relationship,
255
00:09:08.820 --> 00:09:12.090
and man - he was walking in righteousness.
256
00:09:12.090 --> 00:09:14.070
And then we realized having shod your feet
257
00:09:14.070 --> 00:09:16.380
with the preparation of the gospel of peace,
258
00:09:16.380 --> 00:09:18.660
you have prepared yourself to be a witness
259
00:09:18.660 --> 00:09:20.220
for the Lord with the gospel.
260
00:09:20.220 --> 00:09:23.400
This is something that
you do daily all the time.
261
00:09:23.400 --> 00:09:25.380
So you're prepped and ready to go
262
00:09:25.380 --> 00:09:29.070
when anything comes your way;
you're totally ready to go.
263
00:09:29.070 --> 00:09:30.960
Can you read that again about the shoes?
264
00:09:30.960 --> 00:09:32.820
Yeah. It says, and having shod your feet
265
00:09:32.820 --> 00:09:35.130
with the preparation of the gospel piece.
266
00:09:35.130 --> 00:09:36.840
Because the Greek, the word preparation
267
00:09:36.840 --> 00:09:38.190
describes a readiness.
268
00:09:38.190 --> 00:09:40.260
Okay. It's it's preparation. That's exactly right.
269
00:09:40.260 --> 00:09:41.580
So you're ready to go?
Yeah.
270
00:09:41.580 --> 00:09:43.680
So I believe this has to
do with our devotional life,
271
00:09:43.680 --> 00:09:45.840
our prayer life, our consistency.
272
00:09:45.840 --> 00:09:47.400
Now there's so much like Dressed To Kill.
273
00:09:47.400 --> 00:09:49.470
You get into this book
and you break each piece
274
00:09:49.470 --> 00:09:51.240
of this apart so magnificently.
275
00:09:51.240 --> 00:09:53.280
Well thank you.
And it's just wonderful.
276
00:09:53.280 --> 00:09:55.140
And then it goes beyond this - verse 16.
277
00:09:55.140 --> 00:09:58.800
Then it says, Above all, taking the shield of faith
278
00:09:58.800 --> 00:10:00.420
with which you will be able
279
00:10:00.420 --> 00:10:03.960
to quench all the fiery
darts of the wicked one.
280
00:10:03.960 --> 00:10:07.680
To me that's a, a situational scenario
281
00:10:07.680 --> 00:10:09.300
where suddenly something's happening
282
00:10:09.300 --> 00:10:11.580
and you seize your faith
283
00:10:11.580 --> 00:10:14.010
and you're able to stop
the assault of the enemy
284
00:10:14.010 --> 00:10:16.530
or speak into what needs to be done.
285
00:10:16.530 --> 00:10:18.810
It doesn't really mean faith is most important.
286
00:10:18.810 --> 00:10:20.790
Okay. - Above all is a bad translation.
287
00:10:20.790 --> 00:10:22.980
Okay. - It should be translated - in front
288
00:10:22.980 --> 00:10:24.210
of all - in front of all.
289
00:10:24.210 --> 00:10:26.730
And it describes the position of faith. Wow!
290
00:10:26.730 --> 00:10:28.710
Faith is out front. That's good, Rick.
291
00:10:28.710 --> 00:10:31.710
Covering all out front of everything.
292
00:10:31.710 --> 00:10:33.210
Your faith is to be engaged.
293
00:10:33.210 --> 00:10:34.680
And when your faith is engaged,
294
00:10:34.680 --> 00:10:38.280
faith is always a forward leading force.
295
00:10:38.280 --> 00:10:41.430
Your....shield is always out front.
296
00:10:41.430 --> 00:10:42.990
For your shield to be effective,
297
00:10:42.990 --> 00:10:45.480
you don't hold it behind you or at your side,
298
00:10:45.480 --> 00:10:47.040
you hold it out front.
299
00:10:47.040 --> 00:10:49.650
So you could translate it - in front of all, covering
300
00:10:49.650 --> 00:10:51.810
all, taking the shield of faith.
301
00:10:51.810 --> 00:10:55.050
So good boy, I love that. - Faith is important. - It
302
00:10:55.050 --> 00:10:56.050
is important.
303
00:10:56.050 --> 00:10:59.430
So very important - Above all but out front. That's so good.
304
00:10:59.430 --> 00:11:02.820
I, you know, I've learned so
much from you over the years.
305
00:11:02.820 --> 00:11:04.980
I mean, I've listened to you for decades.
306
00:11:04.980 --> 00:11:06.780
Well, thank you Joseph.
I learned from you too.
307
00:11:06.780 --> 00:11:09.360
That's why I'm recommending
your book. Well, thank you sir.
308
00:11:09.360 --> 00:11:10.860
I'm just so honored to be with you.
309
00:11:10.860 --> 00:11:15.060
And it, it says, and take
the helmet of salvation
310
00:11:15.060 --> 00:11:17.370
and the sword of the spirit,
which is the word of God.
311
00:11:17.370 --> 00:11:19.680
You know, that's our born again experience.
312
00:11:19.680 --> 00:11:21.660
We have everything in Christ Jesus.
313
00:11:21.660 --> 00:11:23.550
And then you go forward
with the word of God.
314
00:11:23.550 --> 00:11:26.070
You just begin to walk
in the fullness of that.
315
00:11:26.070 --> 00:11:29.460
The word of God is potent
and powerful. I believe it.
316
00:11:29.460 --> 00:11:32.340
It just severs spiritual
activity that is evil
317
00:11:32.340 --> 00:11:33.540
and cuts it off your life.
318
00:11:33.540 --> 00:11:36.630
It goes forward. It's just
that foundational place.
319
00:11:36.630 --> 00:11:40.020
Knowing what you have in Christ is a strong,
320
00:11:40.020 --> 00:11:41.370
strong foundation.
321
00:11:41.370 --> 00:11:43.410
And then I like it goes into verse 18
322
00:11:43.410 --> 00:11:45.810
and it says - Praying always with all prayer
323
00:11:45.810 --> 00:11:48.870
and supplication in the spirit, being watchful to this end
324
00:11:48.870 --> 00:11:51.450
with all perseverance and supplication for the saints.
325
00:11:51.450 --> 00:11:53.200
Can I say something? - Please, sir.
326
00:11:53.200 --> 00:11:55.240
That's the missing piece.
Okay.
327
00:11:55.240 --> 00:11:58.210
Most people read that and they miss one piece of weaponry
328
00:11:58.210 --> 00:11:59.410
and that is the lance.
329
00:11:59.410 --> 00:12:01.780
Come on. - But if you have
the full weaponry, you had
330
00:12:01.780 --> 00:12:04.990
to have a lance or you
had to have a spear.
331
00:12:04.990 --> 00:12:07.600
And I, there it is. It's in verse 18.
332
00:12:07.600 --> 00:12:10.810
I call it our spear of influence. Wow.
333
00:12:10.810 --> 00:12:12.550
When you use prayer
334
00:12:12.550 --> 00:12:16.060
and intercession correctly,
it's like you've got a lance
335
00:12:16.060 --> 00:12:19.210
or a spear in your hand with prayer and intercession,
336
00:12:19.210 --> 00:12:21.010
you can hit the enemy from a distance.
337
00:12:21.010 --> 00:12:22.300
That is just powerful,
338
00:12:22.300 --> 00:12:24.460
better to hit him from a distance
339
00:12:24.460 --> 00:12:26.560
so you never have to use your sword:
340
00:12:27.430 --> 00:12:28.600
through prayer and intercession,
341
00:12:28.600 --> 00:12:32.140
you can stop a lot of foul activity. Yeah.
342
00:12:32.140 --> 00:12:34.510
And prayer and intercession
is very, very important.
343
00:12:34.510 --> 00:12:35.980
And you also cover that in this book.
344
00:12:35.980 --> 00:12:39.220
Yes sir. Prayer and intercession is huge.
345
00:12:39.220 --> 00:12:40.900
But you know, when you get into this
346
00:12:40.900 --> 00:12:43.090
and you start advancing in these spaces,
347
00:12:43.090 --> 00:12:44.500
you can add fasting to it.
348
00:12:44.500 --> 00:12:45.700
You can, you can begin
349
00:12:45.700 --> 00:12:48.310
to just release the word of God that way.
350
00:12:48.310 --> 00:12:50.980
But there is a place in prayer
that you can start going to
351
00:12:50.980 --> 00:12:53.890
where you can get very familiar with the spirit of God
352
00:12:53.890 --> 00:12:57.010
and be led by him and really
go on assignment in prayer.
353
00:12:57.010 --> 00:12:58.420
The Lord will speak to you about what,
354
00:12:58.420 --> 00:12:59.950
to pray about, where to go.
355
00:12:59.950 --> 00:13:02.620
And in the last chapter of
this book, you give us a lot
356
00:13:02.620 --> 00:13:04.270
of really great prayers to pray.
357
00:13:04.270 --> 00:13:06.100
Yes sir. To help us get started.
358
00:13:06.100 --> 00:13:08.770
As I keep saying, it's like
a paint by numbers manual
359
00:13:08.770 --> 00:13:10.960
that people can say, okay,
I don't know what to pray.
360
00:13:10.960 --> 00:13:13.090
They open the book and they
can just start praying the
361
00:13:13.090 --> 00:13:14.740
scripture and add faith to it.
362
00:13:14.740 --> 00:13:17.860
That helps me. Me too. I I
appreciate it. Me too, sir.
363
00:13:17.860 --> 00:13:20.470
Thank you. And so when we do this
364
00:13:20.470 --> 00:13:21.880
and we start praying in faith
365
00:13:21.880 --> 00:13:24.280
and we move in these places,
this is the position
366
00:13:24.280 --> 00:13:27.490
God can start showing you visions and dreams if necessary.
367
00:13:27.490 --> 00:13:30.640
This is the position that God
will begin to familiarize you
368
00:13:30.640 --> 00:13:33.190
with his voice or you'll become familiar with his voice.
369
00:13:33.190 --> 00:13:35.260
And another element is prophecy.
370
00:13:35.260 --> 00:13:38.380
It is, Paul said to Timothy, don't forget the prophetic word
371
00:13:38.380 --> 00:13:39.820
that was spoken over you.
372
00:13:39.820 --> 00:13:41.590
And by it wage a good
373
00:13:41.590 --> 00:13:43.900
warfare. Prophecy plays a role in this.
374
00:13:43.900 --> 00:13:46.540
It sure does. You know, there's different types
375
00:13:46.540 --> 00:13:48.580
of prophecy: foretelling, forth-telling,
376
00:13:48.580 --> 00:13:51.190
but God is just showing people
what is to come many times.
377
00:13:51.190 --> 00:13:53.500
Or he'll show them about
a certain scenario.
378
00:13:53.500 --> 00:13:55.090
And then you add intercession.
379
00:13:55.090 --> 00:13:57.550
You start punishing
darkness over these things.
380
00:13:57.550 --> 00:13:58.960
We take every thought captive
381
00:13:58.960 --> 00:14:01.180
and punish disobedience. You know,
382
00:14:01.180 --> 00:14:02.500
under the authority of Jesus Christ.
383
00:14:02.500 --> 00:14:04.960
We do this that's snapping up our mind,
384
00:14:04.960 --> 00:14:07.270
that's taking authority in
the realm of the spirit.
385
00:14:07.270 --> 00:14:10.660
And I'll tell you, intercession
that really is effective
386
00:14:10.660 --> 00:14:13.000
through the word of God and a renewed mind
387
00:14:13.000 --> 00:14:14.320
really brings change.
388
00:14:14.320 --> 00:14:16.810
It will really alter a circumstance.
389
00:14:16.810 --> 00:14:18.400
I think about people
with wayward children.
390
00:14:18.400 --> 00:14:20.740
I think about people that
are in a financial crisis.
391
00:14:20.740 --> 00:14:23.620
I think about people that
might be having a legal battle
392
00:14:23.620 --> 00:14:25.600
or something's going on in their life.
393
00:14:25.600 --> 00:14:28.360
When you are submitted to
the principles we're teaching
394
00:14:28.360 --> 00:14:31.600
and you apply effort in
intercession, mixing it
395
00:14:31.600 --> 00:14:33.430
with your faith, you're gonna unleash
396
00:14:33.430 --> 00:14:34.900
heaven on these things.
397
00:14:34.900 --> 00:14:36.310
And angels harken to it.
398
00:14:36.310 --> 00:14:38.590
I love that. Let's
unleash heaven on things.
399
00:14:38.590 --> 00:14:40.750
Let's unleash heaven. Oh
My goodness.
400
00:14:40.750 --> 00:14:42.310
The devil's trying to unleash hellish
401
00:14:42.310 --> 00:14:44.260
forces through people.
402
00:14:44.260 --> 00:14:45.520
But we wanna unleash heaven.
403
00:14:45.520 --> 00:14:47.380
And I wanna say this
right to you right now.
404
00:14:47.380 --> 00:14:49.780
Maybe you're going through
something very difficult.
405
00:14:49.780 --> 00:14:51.920
Maybe you're going through
a, a tragedy right now.
406
00:14:51.920 --> 00:14:54.130
Maybe you're working through a
407
00:14:54.130 --> 00:14:56.870
a heart straining event with a relationship.
408
00:14:56.870 --> 00:14:59.360
Maybe your children are not serving the Lord.
409
00:14:59.360 --> 00:15:00.680
But I want say to you,
410
00:15:00.680 --> 00:15:03.800
the most dangerous person
in the world spiritually,
411
00:15:03.800 --> 00:15:05.600
is praying grandmothers.
412
00:15:05.600 --> 00:15:07.670
When you really raise
up and you begin to pray
413
00:15:07.670 --> 00:15:09.260
and intercede, and of course everybody
414
00:15:09.260 --> 00:15:11.240
who prays is very effective.
415
00:15:11.240 --> 00:15:12.980
But there's something
about praying grandmas,
416
00:15:12.980 --> 00:15:14.390
when they take a hold of the word of God
417
00:15:14.390 --> 00:15:16.340
and they begin to
intercede for their family,
418
00:15:16.340 --> 00:15:18.050
it will break the yoke.
419
00:15:18.050 --> 00:15:20.150
You have more power in the realm
420
00:15:20.150 --> 00:15:22.160
of the spirit than you might realize.
421
00:15:22.160 --> 00:15:24.380
Joseph, when my grandmother Renner was very old
422
00:15:24.380 --> 00:15:26.990
and she couldn't get up and get around much, I went
423
00:15:26.990 --> 00:15:29.930
to see her and I said, grandma, you're such a blessing.
424
00:15:29.930 --> 00:15:33.770
She said, Ah, Ricky, all I do is just sit in this chair.
425
00:15:33.770 --> 00:15:37.220
All I can do is pray for you. Wow.
426
00:15:37.220 --> 00:15:39.980
I said, all you can do is pray for me.
427
00:15:39.980 --> 00:15:41.090
I said, grandma, you've done a lot
428
00:15:41.090 --> 00:15:42.110
of good things in your life.
429
00:15:42.110 --> 00:15:45.650
This might be the best
thing you've ever done.
430
00:15:45.650 --> 00:15:48.140
Don't disqualify yourself
because you're old
431
00:15:48.140 --> 00:15:49.760
and quit telling yourself you're old.
432
00:15:49.760 --> 00:15:53.270
You're not old. So good. You're
just as old as you believe.
433
00:15:53.270 --> 00:15:56.450
Boy, that's good. But use your time,
434
00:15:56.450 --> 00:15:58.910
whatever season you have, to press in.
435
00:15:58.910 --> 00:16:01.790
I really like that: grandmothers, granddads,
436
00:16:01.790 --> 00:16:04.400
they are powerful - powerful.
437
00:16:04.400 --> 00:16:06.890
I would, I would guess a lot
438
00:16:06.890 --> 00:16:09.050
of what's going on in
my own ministry today is
439
00:16:09.050 --> 00:16:13.430 line:15%
because my grandmother Renner
used the spear of influence,
440
00:16:13.430 --> 00:16:14.780 line:15%
prayer and intercession.
441
00:16:14.780 --> 00:16:16.610 line:15%
A lot of what we're doing
is probably directly
442
00:16:16.610 --> 00:16:18.410 line:15%
attributed to her prayers.
443
00:16:18.410 --> 00:16:20.480 line:15%
This is very powerful and you can do this.
444
00:16:20.480 --> 00:16:22.970 line:15%
It's so good. I think about this too.
445
00:16:22.970 --> 00:16:25.250 line:15%
You know, I had a praying
grandmother as well.
446
00:16:25.250 --> 00:16:26.990 line:15%
She was just, I'll tell you what,
447
00:16:26.990 --> 00:16:29.000 line:15%
she just beat up on darkness.
448
00:16:29.000 --> 00:16:31.760 line:15%
And I think it's the reason
our ministry is going too,
449
00:16:31.760 --> 00:16:33.830
but I gotta say this, that when we pray
450
00:16:33.830 --> 00:16:37.040
and we intercede, you get
familiar with the Holy Spirit.
451
00:16:37.040 --> 00:16:41.120
And when you begin to speak
in tongues, there is a force
452
00:16:41.120 --> 00:16:42.350
that rises in you.
453
00:16:42.350 --> 00:16:44.540
And I love your teaching on the subject of Jude,
454
00:16:44.540 --> 00:16:46.940
where it talks about building yourself up in your
455
00:16:46.940 --> 00:16:48.380
most holy faith.
456
00:16:48.380 --> 00:16:49.430
And I believe that you teach it,
457
00:16:49.430 --> 00:16:51.345
that it expands the house. Is that right?
458
00:16:51.345 --> 00:16:53.510
It does. It, it expands you spiritually.
459
00:16:53.510 --> 00:16:57.080
Yes. - Increases your
capacity. That's so amazing.
460
00:16:57.080 --> 00:16:59.240
By the way. If you don't
pray in tongues, you can,
461
00:17:00.230 --> 00:17:02.090
Jesus promised it to every believer.
462
00:17:02.090 --> 00:17:04.490
It comes with the baptism
and the Holy Spirit.
463
00:17:04.490 --> 00:17:07.190
And if you've never been
baptized in the Holy Spirit
464
00:17:07.190 --> 00:17:10.160
and spoken with other tongues,
when you pray in tongues,
465
00:17:10.160 --> 00:17:11.480
it's not just gibberish.
466
00:17:11.480 --> 00:17:13.760
That's right. It's your
spirit speaking to God.
467
00:17:14.630 --> 00:17:17.720
And it opens you to our brand
new spiritual dimension,
468
00:17:17.720 --> 00:17:19.550
which we talked about in the
first program this week. We
469
00:17:19.550 --> 00:17:20.550
Did.
470
00:17:20.550 --> 00:17:21.680
Yeah. Being open to the spirit realm.
471
00:17:21.680 --> 00:17:23.750
Yeah.
When you pray in tongues,
472
00:17:23.750 --> 00:17:25.910
it literally opens a
door to another realm.
473
00:17:25.910 --> 00:17:28.070 line:15%
And if you've never received this, call the
474
00:17:28.070 --> 00:17:29.240 line:15%
number on the screen.
475
00:17:29.240 --> 00:17:31.370 line:15%
Yes.
We'll pray with you.
476
00:17:31.370 --> 00:17:33.560 line:15%
You'll receive the baptism
of the Holy Spirit.
477
00:17:33.560 --> 00:17:35.270 line:15%
You'll begin to pray in other tongues,
478
00:17:35.270 --> 00:17:36.920 line:15%
which we call praying in the Spirit.
479
00:17:36.920 --> 00:17:40.430 line:15%
That's when your spirit begins
to speak. You're a spirit.
480
00:17:40.430 --> 00:17:43.220 line:15%
Your spirit wants to speak
to God. He's a spirit.
481
00:17:43.220 --> 00:17:45.350 line:15%
You're speaking spirit to
spirit when you pray in
482
00:17:45.350 --> 00:17:46.970 line:15%
tongues. But call us and we'll
483
00:17:46.970 --> 00:17:48.285 line:15%
pray with you.
484
00:17:48.285 --> 00:17:51.060
I believe praying in the spirit like that, building up
485
00:17:51.060 --> 00:17:54.720 line:15%
that house, building your
capacity for the future,
486
00:17:54.720 --> 00:17:57.210
really has a lot to do with
spiritual warfare, has a lot
487
00:17:57.210 --> 00:17:58.890
to do with effectiveness: when you get
488
00:17:58.890 --> 00:18:00.540
to know the Lord at this level
489
00:18:00.540 --> 00:18:01.710
and you start praying in tongues,
490
00:18:01.710 --> 00:18:05.130
so I guess what I'd say is spend a lot of time doing it.
491
00:18:05.130 --> 00:18:08.850
Joseph, if I hit an impasse, whether it's in a victory
492
00:18:08.850 --> 00:18:11.130
that I'm seeking or whether I'm writing a
493
00:18:11.130 --> 00:18:12.360
book - Yes.
494
00:18:12.360 --> 00:18:14.760
And I feel like I've come to
a dead end, I don't no where
495
00:18:14.760 --> 00:18:17.100
to go with a point that I know I'm supposed to make.
496
00:18:17.100 --> 00:18:18.930
I stop and pray in tongues. Mm.
497
00:18:18.930 --> 00:18:20.130
Because when you pray in tongues,
498
00:18:20.130 --> 00:18:22.620
it literally increases your capacity.
499
00:18:22.620 --> 00:18:25.350
The Bible says he that prays
in tongues edifies himself.
500
00:18:25.350 --> 00:18:28.260
Yes - It really means expands himself so good.
501
00:18:28.260 --> 00:18:31.050
And when you expand
your spiritual capacity
502
00:18:31.050 --> 00:18:32.190
by praying in tongues,
503
00:18:32.190 --> 00:18:34.440
suddenly you have room to receive more.
504
00:18:34.440 --> 00:18:36.480
Yes - You receive the insight that you need.
505
00:18:36.480 --> 00:18:38.070
You receive more power.
506
00:18:38.070 --> 00:18:39.480
Praying in tongues is very,
507
00:18:39.480 --> 00:18:41.790
very important when it comes
508
00:18:41.790 --> 00:18:43.860
to spiritual warfare that works.
509
00:18:43.860 --> 00:18:45.600
Yeah. It really is.
And when you do this,
510
00:18:45.600 --> 00:18:47.430
you're gonna begin to
sow into your future.
511
00:18:47.430 --> 00:18:48.540
That's right.
That's how I view it.
512
00:18:48.540 --> 00:18:50.610
That's you're, you're
growing out into the future.
513
00:18:50.610 --> 00:18:53.640
And when you spend, I'll say
it this way, copious amounts
514
00:18:53.640 --> 00:18:55.170
of time, just a lot of time praying,
515
00:18:55.170 --> 00:18:56.190
I pray in tongues every
Day.
516
00:18:56.190 --> 00:18:58.920
Yeah. Every day of my life. - Yes sir.
517
00:18:58.920 --> 00:19:02.280
And I believe that it just begins to activate things in you.
518
00:19:02.280 --> 00:19:03.870
So when you get to the next phase,
519
00:19:03.870 --> 00:19:05.490
you have the capacity for more.
520
00:19:05.490 --> 00:19:07.140
That's right. And you
just keep walking it out.
521
00:19:07.140 --> 00:19:08.820
And I wanna say this to, to those of you
522
00:19:08.820 --> 00:19:11.460
who are watching right now - Greater is he
523
00:19:11.460 --> 00:19:13.650
that is in you than he that is in the world.
524
00:19:13.650 --> 00:19:16.110
And God Almighty is calling you. Today,
525
00:19:16.110 --> 00:19:19.590
he needs his believers more than ever, like you to stand up
526
00:19:19.590 --> 00:19:21.780
and do everything that you're marked for.
527
00:19:21.780 --> 00:19:24.180
I like to say it this way - even on a bad day,
528
00:19:24.180 --> 00:19:26.640
you are anointed to be the very best there is.
529
00:19:26.640 --> 00:19:28.080
God believes in you.
530
00:19:28.080 --> 00:19:30.150
That's why you're alive
in this generation.
531
00:19:30.150 --> 00:19:31.830
He wants you to stand up, live, move
532
00:19:31.830 --> 00:19:33.150
and have your being in him.
533
00:19:33.150 --> 00:19:34.410
I like to say this too, Rick,
534
00:19:34.410 --> 00:19:37.470
when I'm looking at our friend
here today, I like to say,
535
00:19:37.470 --> 00:19:38.520
a man or woman that's you
536
00:19:38.520 --> 00:19:40.860
with a revelation is not at the mercy
537
00:19:40.860 --> 00:19:42.840
of this culture trying to go mad.
538
00:19:42.840 --> 00:19:45.450
God has called you. God has equipped you.
539
00:19:45.450 --> 00:19:47.340
And this is the time to rise and shine.
540
00:19:47.340 --> 00:19:49.980
Your children are gonna be
okay. You're gonna be okay.
541
00:19:49.980 --> 00:19:52.830
And when you develop in
punishing the darkness,
542
00:19:52.830 --> 00:19:54.375
God will be with you.
543
00:19:54.375 --> 00:19:55.920
And I'll tell you, your future's bright.
544
00:19:56.970 --> 00:19:59.280
You have so many phrases
I wish I had coined.
545
00:20:00.210 --> 00:20:03.180
They are so good. Thanks Rick.
Thank you for being with me.
546
00:20:03.180 --> 00:20:05.070
Thank you Sir. Joseph, why should
547
00:20:05.070 --> 00:20:07.860 line:15%
People get this book? For effectiveness.
548
00:20:07.860 --> 00:20:11.040 line:15%
For effectiveness. Many times we have a lot of ideas,
549
00:20:11.040 --> 00:20:14.010 line:15%
we have things that people say
works and all that gimmicks.
550
00:20:14.010 --> 00:20:16.860 line:15%
This is not a gimmick, this
is scripture put to page
551
00:20:16.860 --> 00:20:18.600 line:15%
so people can develop in it.
552
00:20:18.600 --> 00:20:22.440
Now you gotta do your part and your part is the hard part.
553
00:20:22.440 --> 00:20:24.930
Having somebody agree with
you, that's the easiest part.
554
00:20:24.930 --> 00:20:27.570
Having somebody lay hands
on you or prophesy to you.
555
00:20:27.570 --> 00:20:32.070
That's the easy part. But you've got to engage your brain.
556
00:20:32.070 --> 00:20:34.380
You've gotta bend your brain to the word of God.
557
00:20:34.380 --> 00:20:36.900
You've gotta bend your brain to what God says to you.
558
00:20:36.900 --> 00:20:38.280
You've gotta hear it and hear it
559
00:20:38.280 --> 00:20:39.780
and hear it until you believe it.
560
00:20:39.780 --> 00:20:41.280
And when you really hear
561
00:20:41.280 --> 00:20:45.090
and believe the word of God,
something miraculous happens.
562
00:20:45.090 --> 00:20:48.550
You become like a conduit that
becomes perfectly aligned.
563
00:20:48.550 --> 00:20:52.150
Yes. And when you become
perfectly aligned,
564
00:20:52.150 --> 00:20:54.970
that's when you're
gonna become a a channel
565
00:20:54.970 --> 00:20:56.860
through which the power of God can begin
566
00:20:56.860 --> 00:20:58.090
to flow through you.
567
00:20:58.090 --> 00:21:01.750
And sometimes it takes
time for you to get into
568
00:21:01.750 --> 00:21:03.550
that position of alignment.
569
00:21:03.550 --> 00:21:05.890
And that's why you gotta binge your brain
570
00:21:05.890 --> 00:21:09.070
and determine you're not
gonna stop until your heart
571
00:21:09.070 --> 00:21:11.830
and your head are lined
up with the word of God.
572
00:21:11.830 --> 00:21:14.410
Then you become a powerful weapon,
573
00:21:14.410 --> 00:21:16.000
so powerful.
574
00:21:16.000 --> 00:21:19.330
And you can begin to
function in spiritual warfare
575
00:21:19.330 --> 00:21:22.360 line:15%
that works and you can
really punish the darkness.
576
00:21:22.360 --> 00:21:24.280 line:15%
Doesn't matter what the
devil's trying to do,
577
00:21:24.280 --> 00:21:26.650 line:15%
you really have the authority to drive it back
578
00:21:26.650 --> 00:21:28.390 line:15%
across the line.
579
00:21:28.390 --> 00:21:30.580 line:15%
Absolutely. And in today's age, with all
580
00:21:30.580 --> 00:21:32.860 line:15%
that we have going on,
we need that equipment.
581
00:21:32.860 --> 00:21:35.650 line:15%
We need to do it. And I,
Rick, I just wanna thank you
582
00:21:35.650 --> 00:21:38.770 line:15%
for letting me be with
you and all that you do.
583
00:21:38.770 --> 00:21:40.300 line:15%
And I wanna thank your partners.
584
00:21:40.300 --> 00:21:41.830 line:15%
This is a wonderful ministry
585
00:21:41.830 --> 00:21:43.240 line:15%
and I'm so privileged that I've had the
586
00:21:43.240 --> 00:21:44.890
opportunity to be with you.
587
00:21:44.890 --> 00:21:47.500 line:15%
And I just wanna say thank you
to the partners very quickly.
588
00:21:47.500 --> 00:21:49.540 line:15%
Thank you for partnering
with Rick and Denise.
589
00:21:49.540 --> 00:21:51.760 line:15%
This ministry is outstanding
590
00:21:51.760 --> 00:21:52.960 line:15%
and we're thankful to be a part of
591
00:21:52.960 --> 00:21:53.960 line:15%
it.
592
00:21:53.960 --> 00:21:55.330 line:15%
Well thank you. I feel the same way about you.
593
00:21:55.330 --> 00:21:56.920
We'll be back in just a moment and we're gonna
594
00:21:56.920 --> 00:21:57.920
pray for you.
595
00:21:57.920 --> 00:22:01.870 line:15%
As culture is driven toward
chaos by unseen forces,
596
00:22:01.870 --> 00:22:03.190 line:15%
believers must learn
597
00:22:03.190 --> 00:22:06.520
to use every spiritual
tool God has provided.
598
00:22:06.520 --> 00:22:09.610
But how do you fight an
enemy you cannot see?
599
00:22:09.610 --> 00:22:13.270
While the lost may be dominated by the ruler of this world,
600
00:22:13.270 --> 00:22:16.810
the saved can close doors to
deception when their ability
601
00:22:16.810 --> 00:22:19.810
to trust outweighs their
need to understand.
602
00:22:19.810 --> 00:22:23.500 line:15%

This is Rick Renner, and
today I'm in the Tulsa office
621
00:23:19.420 --> 00:23:22.720
and this is another part
of our new TV studio.
622
00:23:22.720 --> 00:23:25.870
This is where Denise
is filming TV programs
623
00:23:25.870 --> 00:23:28.900 line:15%
and how wonderful that now we
have two little studios, one
624
00:23:28.900 --> 00:23:33.040 line:15%
for her and one for me where
we can interview guests
625
00:23:33.040 --> 00:23:34.480 line:15%
who can't come all the way to Russia
626
00:23:34.480 --> 00:23:36.430 line:15%
to be interviewed in our studio there.
627
00:23:36.430 --> 00:23:38.350 line:15%
So when we're in the United States,
628
00:23:38.350 --> 00:23:40.120 line:15%
we can interview them here.
629
00:23:40.120 --> 00:23:42.730 line:15%
And that's what we've been doing all week
630
00:23:42.730 --> 00:23:46.070
in this wonderful facility which God gave us
631
00:23:46.070 --> 00:23:47.540
in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
632
00:23:47.540 --> 00:23:50.000
We're so grateful for this building.
633
00:23:50.000 --> 00:23:51.620
It was really a gift from the Lord.
634
00:23:51.620 --> 00:23:53.690
And it's almost paid for.
635
00:23:53.690 --> 00:23:58.340 line:15%
We've already retired, 86% of the debt.
636
00:23:58.340 --> 00:24:00.530 line:15%
We just need to go a
little ways to finish this.
637
00:24:00.530 --> 00:24:03.710 line:15%
We caught it the Ministry Expansion Project
638
00:24:03.710 --> 00:24:06.110
because when this is finished, it's going
639
00:24:06.110 --> 00:24:09.590 line:15%
to allow the ministry to
really expand financially,
640
00:24:09.590 --> 00:24:11.990 line:15%
to wrap our arms around the whole world
641
00:24:11.990 --> 00:24:15.380 line:15%
where people need the trusted
teaching of the Bible.
642
00:24:15.380 --> 00:24:17.510 line:15%
And we know that's our calling.
643
00:24:17.510 --> 00:24:19.640 line:15%
And if you're part of the Giving Team, I want
644
00:24:19.640 --> 00:24:21.080 line:15%
to say "thank you" for helping us
645
00:24:21.080 --> 00:24:22.880 line:15%
to retire the dept on this facility
646
00:24:22.880 --> 00:24:25.100 line:15%
and to release those finances.
647
00:24:25.100 --> 00:24:26.840 line:15%
And if you're not a part
of the Giving Team yet,
648
00:24:26.840 --> 00:24:29.330 line:15%
I'm inviting you today to join us
649
00:24:29.330 --> 00:24:32.240 line:15%
to help us finish this project.
650
00:24:32.240 --> 00:24:35.480 line:15%
Wow, what a shout of victory
we're gonna give to God on
651
00:24:35.480 --> 00:24:37.340 line:15%
that day when it's done.
652
00:24:37.340 --> 00:24:40.070 line:15%
And just think of the people
that are going to be reached.
653
00:24:40.070 --> 00:24:42.260 line:15%
So thank you for being a part
654
00:24:42.260 --> 00:24:44.210 line:15%
of the Ministry Expansion Project.
655
00:24:47.900 --> 00:24:49.520
Well, I'm kind of sorry to say it,
656
00:24:49.520 --> 00:24:52.610 line:15%
but this was the last episode
this week with Joseph.
657
00:24:52.610 --> 00:24:55.370 line:15%
Aw Rick, it's been so wonderful. - It's been wonderful.
658
00:24:55.370 --> 00:24:57.590 line:15%
I love every opportunity to be with you.
659
00:24:57.590 --> 00:25:00.020 line:15%
And I'm glad that Joseph
was able to be with me
660
00:25:00.020 --> 00:25:01.640 line:15%
and with you this week.
661
00:25:01.640 --> 00:25:05.780 line:15%
And we've been doing a series
called Punishing The Darkness.
662
00:25:05.780 --> 00:25:09.560 line:15%
It's 5-parts: comes in all kinds of formats and friends,
663
00:25:09.560 --> 00:25:12.410 line:15%
this is a series that you need.
664
00:25:12.410 --> 00:25:15.440 line:15%
It comes with a study guide
that is just marvelous.
665
00:25:15.440 --> 00:25:19.640 line:15%
And Joseph's book is called, Punishing the Darkness:
666
00:25:19.640 --> 00:25:21.500 line:15%
Spiritual Warfare That Works.
667
00:25:21.500 --> 00:25:23.660 line:15%
We love anything that works
668
00:25:23.660 --> 00:25:25.220 line:15%
and maybe you've tried a lot of things
669
00:25:25.220 --> 00:25:27.440 line:15%
that didn't work well, here
is something that's going
670
00:25:27.440 --> 00:25:30.710 line:15%
to work and that's why I
want you to have this book.
671
00:25:30.710 --> 00:25:33.230 line:15%
And I also have my book,
which is called Dress to Kill.
672
00:25:33.230 --> 00:25:35.180 line:15%
You don't have to take it anymore
673
00:25:35.180 --> 00:25:37.310 line:15%
because you're addressed to kill.
674
00:25:37.310 --> 00:25:39.470 line:15%
It's talking about spiritual weaponry.
675
00:25:39.470 --> 00:25:41.450 line:15%
But if you wanna know more
about these resources,
676
00:25:41.450 --> 00:25:45.890 line:15%
just go online at renner.org or give us a call.
677
00:25:45.890 --> 00:25:48.380 line:15%
And I'm gonna remind you again
