00:00:01.140 --> 00:00:03.660
This program is made
possible by the giving
2
00:00:03.660 --> 00:00:06.870
of the God called partners
of Renner Ministries.
3
00:00:08.100 --> 00:00:11.250 line:15%
Hey friends, this is Rick
Renner. Look where I am.
4
00:00:11.250 --> 00:00:12.900 line:15%
I'm standing on the very peak
5
00:00:12.900 --> 00:00:16.710 line:15%
or the bow of what is
reputedly Noah's Ark,
6
00:00:16.710 --> 00:00:19.950 line:15%
and I believe these really
are the ruins of Noah's Ark.
7
00:00:19.950 --> 00:00:23.160 line:15%
If you look behind me, you
can see the form of the ship
8
00:00:23.160 --> 00:00:27.270 line:15%
as it goes all the way down
the side of this mountain.
9
00:00:27.270 --> 00:00:29.580 line:15%
This is not the original
place where it landed.
10
00:00:29.580 --> 00:00:32.160 line:15%
It landed way up on the
hill in front of me.
11
00:00:32.160 --> 00:00:33.990 line:15%
But this is a massive mud flow
12
00:00:33.990 --> 00:00:37.680 line:15%
and for thousands of years this ship has moved down the hill
13
00:00:37.680 --> 00:00:42.480 line:15%
until finally it came to rest
here, which is 6,500 feet
14
00:00:42.480 --> 00:00:46.050 line:15%
above sea level in the mountains of Ararat .
15
00:00:46.050 --> 00:00:49.710
It's been thoroughly researched since 1959
16
00:00:49.710 --> 00:00:53.520
and it is affirmed this, it
really is a manmade object
17
00:00:53.520 --> 00:00:56.220 line:15%
with multiple levels, right angles,
18
00:00:56.220 --> 00:00:59.310
which are not natural in nature and rooms.
19
00:00:59.310 --> 00:01:02.280 line:15%
My friends, I personally
believe these really are the
20
00:01:02.280 --> 00:01:04.140
ruins of Noah's Ark.
21
00:01:04.140 --> 00:01:07.290
But I wanna read to you something from the Bible about Noah,
22
00:01:07.290 --> 00:01:08.580
the Ark and the flood.
23
00:01:08.580 --> 00:01:12.660
Listen to these amazing words beginning in Genesis
24
00:01:12.660 --> 00:01:14.820
7:16 -
25
00:01:14.820 --> 00:01:17.550
And they that went in, went in male
26
00:01:17.550 --> 00:01:21.450
and female of all flesh
as God commanded him.
27
00:01:21.450 --> 00:01:23.970
And the Lord shut him in.
28
00:01:23.970 --> 00:01:27.510
Listen to that - The Lord shut him in. Verse 17:
29
00:01:27.510 --> 00:01:30.120
And the flood was 40 days upon the earth
30
00:01:30.120 --> 00:01:33.510
and the waters increased
and bear up the ark
31
00:01:33.510 --> 00:01:36.090
and it was lift up above the earth,
32
00:01:36.090 --> 00:01:40.320
which means the ark
literally floated on a sea
33
00:01:40.320 --> 00:01:41.910
of destruction.
34
00:01:41.910 --> 00:01:44.190
Wow. And I'm here
35
00:01:44.190 --> 00:01:47.010
because I'm teaching a
brand new series called How
36
00:01:47.010 --> 00:01:51.360
to Float on a Sea of
Destruction In the Last Days.
37
00:01:51.360 --> 00:01:53.280
You know, when we think about Noah,
38
00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:55.800
the flood which destroyed
the world, it seems
39
00:01:55.800 --> 00:01:59.610 line:15%
so destructive, yet it
buoyed up this boat, Noah
40
00:01:59.610 --> 00:02:02.610 line:15%
and his family, and they
floated on the waters
41
00:02:02.610 --> 00:02:04.620 line:15%
of destruction.
42
00:02:04.620 --> 00:02:07.650 line:15%
And we're living in a time
when it seems we're surrounded
43
00:02:07.650 --> 00:02:10.620 line:15%
by craziness, nonsensical thinking.
44
00:02:10.620 --> 00:02:12.930
We're concerned about our
kids and our grandkids
45
00:02:12.930 --> 00:02:16.860
and what's happening in politics and religion and apostasy.
46
00:02:16.860 --> 00:02:20.700
It seems like we are surrounded by a sea of destruction.
47
00:02:20.700 --> 00:02:23.100
But just like Noah was lifted up
48
00:02:23.100 --> 00:02:25.620
and they floated on the waters of destruction,
49
00:02:25.620 --> 00:02:28.950
there are principles in the word of God which will teach us
50
00:02:28.950 --> 00:02:33.510
how we can float on a sea of
destruction in the last days.
51
00:02:33.510 --> 00:02:37.350
And what destroys others
will cause us to be lifted up
52
00:02:37.350 --> 00:02:41.670
to the highest place, a
place of safety and security.
53
00:02:41.670 --> 00:02:44.580
But notice, especially this verse says -
54
00:02:44.580 --> 00:02:47.910
and the Lord shut him in -
55
00:02:47.910 --> 00:02:51.840
and my friends, that is the place we need to begin.
56
00:02:51.840 --> 00:02:54.570
You need to find faith in Christ
57
00:02:54.570 --> 00:02:57.690
and know that once you've
come to faith in Christ,
58
00:02:57.690 --> 00:03:01.120
you have been shut in Christ permanently.
59
00:03:01.120 --> 00:03:04.480
In fact, we're told 7-times in Ephesians 1,
60
00:03:04.480 --> 00:03:06.130
that we are in Christ
61
00:03:06.130 --> 00:03:08.500
and my friends, when you are in Christ,
62
00:03:08.500 --> 00:03:09.910
nothing can touch you.
63
00:03:09.910 --> 00:03:14.440
Jesus really is our ark
of safety and security,
64
00:03:14.440 --> 00:03:17.410
and if you are in him your safe,
65
00:03:17.410 --> 00:03:19.870
and that is what I'm going
to talk to you about today.
66
00:03:20.710 --> 00:03:23.920
Get ready for a teaching
that feeds your spirit
67
00:03:23.920 --> 00:03:27.490
and your mind: where the
word is the anchor in
68
00:03:27.490 --> 00:03:29.440
uncertain times
69
00:03:29.440 --> 00:03:32.740
and doctrine doesn't bend to culture.
70
00:03:32.740 --> 00:03:34.180
We keep it simple,
71
00:03:34.180 --> 00:03:38.740
but dive deep revealing a
truth that strengthens us,
72
00:03:39.610 --> 00:03:41.530 line:15%
a love that emboldens,
73
00:03:42.640 --> 00:03:44.800
and a mission that touches the world.
74
00:03:47.140 --> 00:03:48.640
Let's join Rick Renner.
75
00:03:50.320 --> 00:03:51.760
Welcome to today's program.
76
00:03:51.760 --> 00:03:53.440
My name is Rick Renner
77
00:03:53.440 --> 00:03:56.290
and I've been sitting here
waiting for this moment
78
00:03:56.290 --> 00:04:00.160
so we can rendezvous around
the wonderful word of God.
79
00:04:00.160 --> 00:04:03.010
And today I'm gonna begin
a brand new 10 part series,
80
00:04:03.010 --> 00:04:07.720
which is called, How to Float
on a Sea of Destruction
81
00:04:07.720 --> 00:04:12.670
in the Last Days. If you look
all around you, it looks like
82
00:04:12.670 --> 00:04:16.060
waters are just swirling with
confusion and destruction,
83
00:04:16.060 --> 00:04:19.540
but we do not have to
be taken down by this.
84
00:04:19.540 --> 00:04:24.190
We can float on the waters of
destruction in the last days.
85
00:04:24.190 --> 00:04:25.960
And that is the series which I'm going
86
00:04:25.960 --> 00:04:27.940
to begin teaching you today.
87
00:04:27.940 --> 00:04:29.590
And I want you to order the entire series,
88
00:04:29.590 --> 00:04:31.210
which is 10 parts.
89
00:04:31.210 --> 00:04:34.270
Again, it's called, How to
Float on a Sea of Destruction
90
00:04:34.270 --> 00:04:38.320
in the Last Days. There's Noah's Ark floating on a
91
00:04:38.320 --> 00:04:39.760
sea of destruction.
92
00:04:39.760 --> 00:04:42.040
Those waters took everyone else down,
93
00:04:42.040 --> 00:04:46.000 line:15%
but the waters that destroyed
everyone else caused Noah
94
00:04:46.000 --> 00:04:49.690 line:15%
and his family to victoriously
float above it all
95
00:04:49.690 --> 00:04:51.550 line:15%
and you can do the same thing.
96
00:04:51.550 --> 00:04:54.010 line:15%
And that's what I'm
teaching in this series,
97
00:04:54.010 --> 00:04:55.900 line:15%
which comes with a study guide.
98
00:04:55.900 --> 00:04:57.970 line:15%
And I'm also offering you my book,
99
00:04:57.970 --> 00:05:00.730 line:15%
which is called, Last Days Survival Guide.
100
00:05:00.730 --> 00:05:03.910 line:15%
We're living in the last days.
God wants you to survive.
101
00:05:03.910 --> 00:05:06.070 line:15%
He wants to give you a guide to help you,
102
00:05:06.070 --> 00:05:09.400 line:15%
but hey, not just to
survive, the subtitle says,
103
00:05:09.400 --> 00:05:11.620 line:15%
A Scriptural Handbook to prepare you
104
00:05:11.620 --> 00:05:13.030 line:15%
for these Perilous Times.
105
00:05:13.030 --> 00:05:15.700 line:15%
God wants you to thrive in these times.
106
00:05:15.700 --> 00:05:18.340 line:15%
And if you have not already
ordered a copy of this book,
107
00:05:18.340 --> 00:05:20.140 line:15%
please order yours today.
108
00:05:20.140 --> 00:05:23.350 line:15%
It will make a real
difference in your life.
109
00:05:23.350 --> 00:05:27.430 line:15%
And if you have a prayer
need, please reach out to us
110
00:05:27.430 --> 00:05:30.220 line:15%
because we're waiting to pray for you.
111
00:05:30.220 --> 00:05:33.760 line:15%
You can reach out to us by
writing us, by going online,
112
00:05:33.760 --> 00:05:35.680 line:15%
or by calling us right now.
113
00:05:35.680 --> 00:05:38.470 line:15%
But today, before I get
into the teaching, I want
114
00:05:38.470 --> 00:05:41.830 line:15%
to share just a few testimonies.
115
00:05:41.830 --> 00:05:43.780
One woman called to say that we prayed
116
00:05:43.780 --> 00:05:47.770
for her daughter-in-law to
get a job and she got one,
117
00:05:47.770 --> 00:05:50.680
and they're praising the Lord
for this answered prayer.
118
00:05:50.680 --> 00:05:52.450
You know that's a big answer
119
00:05:52.450 --> 00:05:55.480
to prayer - when people need a job, that's serious.
120
00:05:55.480 --> 00:05:59.150 line:15%
Then another person reported - Wow!
121
00:05:59.150 --> 00:06:03.770 line:15%
Your Partner Care Ministry can
pray the roof off of a house.
122
00:06:03.770 --> 00:06:05.540 line:15%
And she had a praise report.
123
00:06:05.540 --> 00:06:07.970 line:15%
Her family had a history of back problems
124
00:06:07.970 --> 00:06:09.620 line:15%
and she was having problems too,
125
00:06:09.620 --> 00:06:11.840 line:15%
which no one seemed to be able to help.
126
00:06:11.840 --> 00:06:14.660 line:15%
She kind of gave up trying
and learned to live with it.
127
00:06:14.660 --> 00:06:16.550 line:15%
But yesterday she reported
128
00:06:16.550 --> 00:06:20.480 line:15%
that her spine has somehow
completely straightened up
129
00:06:20.480 --> 00:06:22.910 line:15%
and nothing is wrong whatsoever.
130
00:06:22.910 --> 00:06:25.760 line:15%
She doesn't even know how or when it happened
131
00:06:25.760 --> 00:06:28.970 line:15%
and the doctors basically told her it wasn't possible;
132
00:06:28.970 --> 00:06:30.740 line:15%
and she was trying to think of
133
00:06:30.740 --> 00:06:33.620 line:15%
what she'd been doing differently and then it hit her.
134
00:06:33.620 --> 00:06:36.050 line:15%
She called here for prayer.
135
00:06:36.050 --> 00:06:38.570
And my friends, if you need prayer, we want you
136
00:06:38.570 --> 00:06:39.800
to call here for prayer.
137
00:06:39.800 --> 00:06:42.680
We believe there's a miracle
with your name on it waiting
138
00:06:42.680 --> 00:06:44.180
for you right now.
139
00:06:44.180 --> 00:06:46.040
But then here's another testimony.
140
00:06:47.240 --> 00:06:50.390
We just got a call from a viewer who wanted to be filled
141
00:06:50.390 --> 00:06:51.770
with the Holy Spirit.
142
00:06:51.770 --> 00:06:52.940
So we prayed with her
143
00:06:52.940 --> 00:06:56.240
and she received the
infilling of the Holy Spirit
144
00:06:56.240 --> 00:06:58.640
and spoke with other tongues.
145
00:06:58.640 --> 00:07:01.700
My friends, God wants to fill you with the spirit.
146
00:07:01.700 --> 00:07:04.460 line:15%
And if you've never been filled with the Spirit, call us
147
00:07:04.460 --> 00:07:06.020 line:15%
because we'll pray for you
148
00:07:06.020 --> 00:07:09.710 line:15%
and you'll be gloriously
filled with the Holy Spirit.
149
00:07:09.710 --> 00:07:12.890 line:15%
But whatever your need is, give us a call, send us an email,
150
00:07:12.890 --> 00:07:16.280 line:15%
reach out to us and we
will release our faith
151
00:07:16.280 --> 00:07:17.510 line:15%
and we will pray with you
152
00:07:17.510 --> 00:07:21.410 line:15%
and God will move. But hey, reach for your Bible
153
00:07:21.410 --> 00:07:23.780
because we always use the Bible in this program
154
00:07:23.780 --> 00:07:28.550
and we're believing for a revival of the Bible in our times.
155
00:07:28.550 --> 00:07:30.770
But you know, not too long ago, I went with my team
156
00:07:30.770 --> 00:07:35.540 line:15%
to Eastern Turkey to see the
alleged ruins of Noah's Ark.
157
00:07:35.540 --> 00:07:39.020
I did an earlier series on this which was called, Fallen
158
00:07:39.020 --> 00:07:42.650 line:15%
Angels, Giants, Monsters and the World Before the Flood.
159
00:07:42.650 --> 00:07:46.550 line:15%
If you didn't get that series,
you need to get that series.
160
00:07:46.550 --> 00:07:49.010 line:15%
But when we went to see
the ruins of Noah's Ark,
161
00:07:49.010 --> 00:07:50.420 line:15%
it was quite amazing.
162
00:07:50.420 --> 00:07:53.000 line:15%
And do you know, since
we were there, all kinds
163
00:07:53.000 --> 00:07:55.340
of scientific reports have come out
164
00:07:55.340 --> 00:07:59.720
to affirm those really are
the ruins of Noah's Ark.
165
00:07:59.720 --> 00:08:01.760 line:15%
But when I was there, I was
thinking about the words
166
00:08:01.760 --> 00:08:06.410 line:15%
of Jesus in Matthew 24:27 when Jesus said
167
00:08:06.410 --> 00:08:10.310
But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming
168
00:08:10.310 --> 00:08:12.110
of the son of man be.
169
00:08:12.110 --> 00:08:13.820
And Jesus was literally saying that
170
00:08:13.820 --> 00:08:17.540
what was taking place in the earth preceding the flood would
171
00:08:17.540 --> 00:08:20.240
be replicated at the end of the age.
172
00:08:20.240 --> 00:08:22.190
Well, that's the age that we're living in.
173
00:08:22.190 --> 00:08:25.610 line:15%
And my friends, we are
truly living in crazy
174
00:08:25.610 --> 00:08:27.290 line:15%
and bizarre times.
175
00:08:27.290 --> 00:08:30.020 line:15%
And the words of Jesus in Matthew 24
176
00:08:30.020 --> 00:08:32.660 line:15%
and the prophecies of the apostle Paul in
177
00:08:32.660 --> 00:08:34.700 line:15%
2 Timothy 3, about things that are going
178
00:08:34.700 --> 00:08:36.890 line:15%
to happen in society
at the end of the age,
179
00:08:36.890 --> 00:08:39.530 line:15%
they're all happening right in front of us
180
00:08:39.530 --> 00:08:41.300
and all around us.
181
00:08:41.300 --> 00:08:44.540
In fact, sometimes it just
seems like we're surrounded
182
00:08:44.540 --> 00:08:46.430
by a sea of destruction.
183
00:08:46.430 --> 00:08:48.530 line:15%
That's why I want you to order my book,
184
00:08:48.530 --> 00:08:51.560 line:15%
which is called, Last Day's Survival Guide.
185
00:08:51.560 --> 00:08:53.600 line:15%
You need that book because
you need to know how
186
00:08:53.600 --> 00:08:55.010 line:15%
to sail through these.
187
00:08:55.860 --> 00:08:59.850 line:15%
But when you come to Genesis 7:16,
188
00:08:59.850 --> 00:09:02.640 line:15%
we read these words about Noah and his family
189
00:09:02.640 --> 00:09:04.920
and all the animals. It says - And they
190
00:09:04.920 --> 00:09:06.330
that went in went in male
191
00:09:06.330 --> 00:09:09.660
and female of all flesh
as God commanded them
192
00:09:09.660 --> 00:09:12.510
and the Lord shut him in.
193
00:09:12.510 --> 00:09:14.010
That is amazing.
194
00:09:14.010 --> 00:09:16.320
But then listen to verse 17:
195
00:09:16.320 --> 00:09:19.560
And the flood was 40 days upon the earth
196
00:09:19.560 --> 00:09:24.210
and the waters increased
and bear up the ark
197
00:09:24.210 --> 00:09:27.330
and it was lift up above the earth -
198
00:09:27.330 --> 00:09:30.960
which means - the ark literally floated on a
199
00:09:30.960 --> 00:09:32.820
sea of destruction.
200
00:09:32.820 --> 00:09:36.960
Everyone else, including all
living creatures, were killed
201
00:09:36.960 --> 00:09:39.270
by the flood - but because Noah
202
00:09:39.270 --> 00:09:42.750
and his family were safely inside the ark
203
00:09:42.750 --> 00:09:46.620
and God had shut them in. The same water
204
00:09:46.620 --> 00:09:50.790
that destroyed everything else caused them to rise higher
205
00:09:50.790 --> 00:09:55.110
and higher and higher above
the waters of destruction.
206
00:09:55.110 --> 00:09:59.040
They literally floated on a sea of destruction.
207
00:09:59.040 --> 00:10:03.030
Let's look at it again in verse 16,
208
00:10:03.030 --> 00:10:06.840 line:15%
and it says - A window shalt thou make to the ark.
209
00:10:06.840 --> 00:10:08.610 line:15%
This is what God was saying to Noah.
210
00:10:08.610 --> 00:10:11.460 line:15%
And in a cubic shalt thou finish it above
211
00:10:11.460 --> 00:10:13.350
and the door of the ark,
212
00:10:13.350 --> 00:10:17.100
thou shalt set in the side thereof.
213
00:10:17.100 --> 00:10:19.740
But notice there's just
one door to the ark.
214
00:10:19.740 --> 00:10:20.850
And that is the truth.
215
00:10:20.850 --> 00:10:22.800
There were not 2, there were not 3,
216
00:10:22.800 --> 00:10:26.040
there was just one door in the ark,
217
00:10:26.040 --> 00:10:30.960
which means there was only one
way to come into this place
218
00:10:30.960 --> 00:10:33.000
of safety and security.
219
00:10:33.000 --> 00:10:34.770
And if they didn't enter by that door,
220
00:10:34.770 --> 00:10:36.870
they could not get into the ark.
221
00:10:36.870 --> 00:10:38.280
This makes me think of the words
222
00:10:38.280 --> 00:10:42.960
of Jesus in John 14:6, where Jesus said -
223
00:10:42.960 --> 00:10:44.730
I am the way.
224
00:10:44.730 --> 00:10:48.060
There's not another
way. He is the only way.
225
00:10:48.060 --> 00:10:50.430
I am the way the truth and the life.
226
00:10:50.430 --> 00:10:53.940
And no man cometh unto the Father except
227
00:10:53.940 --> 00:10:56.160
by me - and my friends,
228
00:10:56.160 --> 00:10:58.350
when you come into Christ,
229
00:10:58.350 --> 00:11:01.470
he literally is an ark of safety.
230
00:11:01.470 --> 00:11:05.850
There is no safer place
in the entire world than
231
00:11:05.850 --> 00:11:08.340
to be in Christ.
232
00:11:08.340 --> 00:11:10.170
Wow, that is amazing.
233
00:11:10.170 --> 00:11:13.710
But now you may ask, how
do you get in Christ?
234
00:11:13.710 --> 00:11:15.780
Well, the answer is found in Romans 10:
235
00:11:15.780 --> 00:11:18.780
8, which says - But what saith it?
236
00:11:18.780 --> 00:11:21.510
The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth
237
00:11:21.510 --> 00:11:23.670
and in thy heart, that is the word of faith
238
00:11:23.670 --> 00:11:24.870
which we preach -
239
00:11:24.870 --> 00:11:28.740
verse 9 - that if thou shall confess with thy mouth
240
00:11:28.740 --> 00:11:31.260
the Lord Jesus -
241
00:11:31.260 --> 00:11:33.720
that means you're gonna call
Jesus the Lord of your life.
242
00:11:33.720 --> 00:11:35.940
You're gonna submit your life
to him if you'll say, Jesus,
243
00:11:35.940 --> 00:11:37.200
be the Lord of my life.
244
00:11:37.200 --> 00:11:39.180
And shall believe in your heart
245
00:11:39.180 --> 00:11:44.180
that God raised him from the
dead, thou shalt be saved.
246
00:11:44.250 --> 00:11:47.250
And that word saved means eternal salvation.
247
00:11:47.250 --> 00:11:49.470
It's gonna give you a place in heaven but it also carries
248
00:11:49.470 --> 00:11:52.900
you'll have present deliverance, present preservation,
249
00:11:52.900 --> 00:11:56.140
my friends, when you come into
the person of Jesus Christ,
250
00:11:56.140 --> 00:11:59.140
it is literally the
safest place in the world.
251
00:11:59.140 --> 00:12:01.840
And verse 10 says - For with the heart,
252
00:12:01.840 --> 00:12:03.730
man believes under righteousness
253
00:12:03.730 --> 00:12:07.330
and with the mouth, confession is made unto salvation.
254
00:12:07.330 --> 00:12:09.580
And notice there's two parts of this.
255
00:12:09.580 --> 00:12:11.500
You gotta believe with a heart
256
00:12:11.500 --> 00:12:13.810
that you gotta say
something with your mouth.
257
00:12:13.810 --> 00:12:14.920
Some people say, well,
258
00:12:14.920 --> 00:12:17.020
I've never made a public
confession of faith.
259
00:12:17.020 --> 00:12:18.880
I've never declared the Jesus is Lord,
260
00:12:18.880 --> 00:12:20.590
but privately I believe,
261
00:12:20.590 --> 00:12:22.990
well then your salvation is not complete.
262
00:12:22.990 --> 00:12:26.980
This verse says, with a heart
man believes - that's right -
263
00:12:26.980 --> 00:12:30.520
but with a mouth confession
is made unto salvation.
264
00:12:30.520 --> 00:12:33.970
You've got to say - Jesus be the Lord of my life.
265
00:12:33.970 --> 00:12:36.790
That triggers the work of salvation in your life.
266
00:12:36.790 --> 00:12:40.180
And by the way, that word salvation again means deliverance,
267
00:12:40.180 --> 00:12:44.650
preservation, healing, safety, soundness. Wow,
268
00:12:44.650 --> 00:12:48.100
so much comes to you when you get saved.
269
00:12:48.100 --> 00:12:50.380
And then verse 11 says -
270
00:12:50.380 --> 00:12:53.080
For whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed -
271
00:12:53.080 --> 00:12:56.290
verse 12 - for there's no difference between the Jew
272
00:12:56.290 --> 00:13:00.400
and the Greek, for the same
Lord overall is rich unto all
273
00:13:00.400 --> 00:13:01.480
the call upon him.
274
00:13:01.480 --> 00:13:05.290
Verse 13 - for whosoever shall call on the name
275
00:13:05.290 --> 00:13:07.930
of the Lord shall be saved.
276
00:13:07.930 --> 00:13:10.900
There's that word - saved - again the Greek word sodzo.
277
00:13:10.900 --> 00:13:12.970
It carries the idea of eternal salvation
278
00:13:12.970 --> 00:13:16.720
and present deliverance,
present preservation.
279
00:13:16.720 --> 00:13:19.720
My friends, when you
come into Jesus Christ,
280
00:13:19.720 --> 00:13:23.980
it is literally the safest
place on the planet.
281
00:13:23.980 --> 00:13:28.210
And in 1 Corinthians 12:13, we read - For
282
00:13:28.210 --> 00:13:31.240
by one spirit are we all baptized into one body -
283
00:13:31.240 --> 00:13:35.530
which means the moment you call Jesus the Lord of your life,
284
00:13:35.530 --> 00:13:37.180
the Holy Spirit takes you
285
00:13:37.180 --> 00:13:41.920
and supernaturally places
you into the body of Christ,
286
00:13:41.920 --> 00:13:46.840
which is an ark of refuge:
the safest place in the world.
287
00:13:46.840 --> 00:13:50.140
And when you come to Ephesians 1, 7-times,
288
00:13:50.140 --> 00:13:53.140
we are told that when we're saved, we are placed
289
00:13:53.140 --> 00:13:57.250
inside this safe place; we're placed in Christ.
290
00:13:57.250 --> 00:14:00.760
Listen to Ephesians 1:1, Paul
291
00:14:00.760 --> 00:14:02.890
and apostle of Jesus Christ, by the will of God
292
00:14:02.890 --> 00:14:04.540
to the saints which are at Ephesus
293
00:14:04.540 --> 00:14:08.350
and to the faithful in Christ Jesus.
294
00:14:08.350 --> 00:14:10.090
We are in him.
295
00:14:10.090 --> 00:14:12.430
Listen to verse 3 - Blessed be the God
296
00:14:12.430 --> 00:14:14.830
and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us
297
00:14:14.830 --> 00:14:18.250
with all spiritual
blessings in heavenly places
298
00:14:18.250 --> 00:14:22.960
in Christ. My friends, twice now in this chapter we've seen
299
00:14:22.960 --> 00:14:25.870
that when we're saved, we're placed in Christ,
300
00:14:25.870 --> 00:14:28.720
which is God's place of safety.
301
00:14:28.720 --> 00:14:30.760
When you come to verse 4 it says - According
302
00:14:30.760 --> 00:14:35.230
as he has chosen us in him. My friends,
303
00:14:35.230 --> 00:14:36.820
we are in him.
304
00:14:36.820 --> 00:14:39.580
And then when you come to Ephesians 1:6, it says
305
00:14:39.580 --> 00:14:41.290
To the praise of the glory of His grace,
306
00:14:41.290 --> 00:14:42.970
wherein hath made us accepted
307
00:14:42.970 --> 00:14:47.200
in the beloved. We are in him. We are in the beloved.
308
00:14:47.200 --> 00:14:49.150
And then in verse 7,
309
00:14:49.150 --> 00:14:52.220
In whom - The Greek actually says - in him.
310
00:14:52.220 --> 00:14:53.450
That's where we live
311
00:14:53.450 --> 00:14:56.690
when we've made Jesus the Lord
of our life; we are baptized
312
00:14:56.690 --> 00:14:59.030
by the Holy Spirit into the person of Christ,
313
00:14:59.030 --> 00:15:01.580
we live in the body of
Christ, we are in Christ.
314
00:15:01.580 --> 00:15:05.270
And this verse says - in him, we have redemption
315
00:15:05.270 --> 00:15:07.940
through his blood, even the
forgiveness of sins according
316
00:15:07.940 --> 00:15:09.560
to the riches of his grace.
317
00:15:09.560 --> 00:15:14.560
Verse 11 says - In him - there
it is again. We are in him.
318
00:15:14.570 --> 00:15:16.910
We also have obtained an inheritance.
319
00:15:16.910 --> 00:15:20.450
And then when you come to verse 13 it says - In whom
320
00:15:20.450 --> 00:15:23.870
or the Greek literally says - in him. My friends, that's
321
00:15:23.870 --> 00:15:27.290
where we live if we've called Jesus the Lord of our life.
322
00:15:27.290 --> 00:15:29.990
And in him ye also trusted
323
00:15:29.990 --> 00:15:33.170
after you heard the word of truth, the gospel
324
00:15:33.170 --> 00:15:35.990
of your salvation, in whom also
325
00:15:35.990 --> 00:15:39.290
after you believed you were sealed with
326
00:15:39.290 --> 00:15:41.930
that Holy Spirit of promise.
327
00:15:41.930 --> 00:15:44.930
But notice in verse 13, it says,
328
00:15:44.930 --> 00:15:46.670
after you heard the word of truth, the gospel
329
00:15:46.670 --> 00:15:48.290
of your salvation -
330
00:15:48.290 --> 00:15:51.410
and the word salvation, here a form the Greek word, sodzo.
331
00:15:51.410 --> 00:15:55.310
So here it is the word soteria, which expresses the idea
332
00:15:55.310 --> 00:15:59.540
of present deliverance, healing, preservation, prosperity,
333
00:15:59.540 --> 00:16:02.870
safety, and general welfare - which means, that's
334
00:16:02.870 --> 00:16:04.670
what you receive the day you get saved
335
00:16:04.670 --> 00:16:06.680
and you call Jesus the Lord of your life.
336
00:16:06.680 --> 00:16:09.650
But not only that, it says - In whom also
337
00:16:09.650 --> 00:16:11.990
after you believed you were sealed.
338
00:16:11.990 --> 00:16:14.000 line:15%
And the word sealed is gloriously
339
00:16:14.000 --> 00:16:15.980 line:15%
the Greek word, sphragidzo:
340
00:16:15.980 --> 00:16:20.120 line:15%
which pictures - a seal placed on a package
341
00:16:20.120 --> 00:16:23.000 line:15%
after the product had
been thoroughly examined
342
00:16:23.000 --> 00:16:27.110 line:15%
and inspected to make
sure it was fully intact
343
00:16:27.110 --> 00:16:28.610 line:15%
and complete.
344
00:16:28.610 --> 00:16:32.300 line:15%
It describes the seal which was proof
345
00:16:32.300 --> 00:16:35.540 line:15%
that the product was impeccable.
346
00:16:35.540 --> 00:16:39.650 line:15%
Normally such seals bore
the insignia of wealthy
347
00:16:39.650 --> 00:16:44.420 line:15%
or famous people, which meant
this package was to be treated
348
00:16:44.420 --> 00:16:46.070 line:15%
with tender care.
349
00:16:46.070 --> 00:16:49.100 line:15%
It was a seal that
affirmed who the owner was
350
00:16:49.100 --> 00:16:53.690
and guaranteed the package
had sufficient postage paid
351
00:16:53.690 --> 00:16:57.770 line:15%
to make it all the way to its final destination.
352
00:16:57.770 --> 00:17:01.670 line:15%
Which means, the day you got saved, God inspected you
353
00:17:01.670 --> 00:17:02.900
after you were born again.
354
00:17:02.900 --> 00:17:06.710
And God said, wow, this
product is impeccable.
355
00:17:06.710 --> 00:17:08.930
You weren't just fixed,
you were born again.
356
00:17:08.930 --> 00:17:10.220
You were made completely new
357
00:17:10.220 --> 00:17:14.360 line:15%
and God sealed you to say
you were a perfect product.
358
00:17:14.360 --> 00:17:15.680
That is amazing.
359
00:17:15.680 --> 00:17:18.380
And then verse 14 says, the Holy Spirit
360
00:17:18.380 --> 00:17:22.340
that he gave us is the
earnest of our inheritance.
361
00:17:22.340 --> 00:17:25.340 line:15%
And that word, earnest, is the Greek word arrabon,
362
00:17:25.340 --> 00:17:27.740 line:15%
which is a payment given in advance
363
00:17:27.740 --> 00:17:31.640 line:15%
to guarantee the whole amount
will be paid afterward.
364
00:17:31.640 --> 00:17:34.010 line:15%
It is earnest money or
it is an installment
365
00:17:34.010 --> 00:17:38.660 line:15%
or a deposit is a down
payment which guarantees full
366
00:17:38.660 --> 00:17:40.730 line:15%
delivery of a promise.
367
00:17:40.730 --> 00:17:43.940 line:15%
It is the security deposit
given by the purchaser
368
00:17:43.940 --> 00:17:45.380 line:15%
to assure confidence
369
00:17:45.380 --> 00:17:50.010 line:15%
and peace to the seller that
he will fulfill his promise.
370
00:17:50.010 --> 00:17:52.170 line:15%
And I want to give you the RIV of these verses.
371
00:17:52.170 --> 00:17:56.550 line:15%
The RIV says it like this - When you were placed in Christ,
372
00:17:56.550 --> 00:17:58.770 line:15%
God stamped you with a special seal
373
00:17:58.770 --> 00:18:02.700 line:15%
and embossed it so deeply that
it cannot be broken, erased,
374
00:18:02.700 --> 00:18:05.340 line:15%
rubbed out, wiped out, deleted or removed.
375
00:18:05.340 --> 00:18:09.120 line:15%
And that unbreakable
seal is the Holy Spirit.
376
00:18:09.120 --> 00:18:11.250 line:15%
And once you were stamped with him,
377
00:18:11.250 --> 00:18:13.560 line:15%
it meant you had God's approval.
378
00:18:13.560 --> 00:18:15.660 line:15%
He examined the contents of your heart
379
00:18:15.660 --> 00:18:18.870 line:15%
and found nothing flawed or inferior.
380
00:18:18.870 --> 00:18:21.780 line:15%
And because everything was
in order, he stamped you
381
00:18:21.780 --> 00:18:25.200 line:15%
with the Holy Spirit, which
is his steal of approval.
382
00:18:25.200 --> 00:18:29.670 line:15%
Anyone who has this stamp is headed for a special treatment.
383
00:18:29.670 --> 00:18:33.000 line:15%
This seal guarantees you belong to God
384
00:18:33.000 --> 00:18:37.350 line:15%
and no one is to interfere with you as a package.
385
00:18:37.350 --> 00:18:41.790 line:15%
This Holy Spirit stamp means the postage is prepaid
386
00:18:41.790 --> 00:18:45.210 line:15%
to get you all the way to
your ultimate destination.
387
00:18:45.210 --> 00:18:48.480 line:15%
And that means you can be
sure that once your journey
388
00:18:48.480 --> 00:18:51.990 line:15%
with the Lord begins, you are
going to make it all the way
389
00:18:51.990 --> 00:18:54.030 line:15%
to where God wants you to go.
390
00:18:54.030 --> 00:18:58.320 line:15%
And as good as all of this seems, it's only the beginning of
391
00:18:58.320 --> 00:19:01.620 line:15%
what God has planned to do for you.
392
00:19:01.620 --> 00:19:03.240
That is amazing.
393
00:19:03.240 --> 00:19:06.750
Do you see there's no safer
place in the world than
394
00:19:06.750 --> 00:19:10.020
to be in the person of Jesus Christ.
395
00:19:10.020 --> 00:19:11.820
And my friends, just as Noah
396
00:19:11.820 --> 00:19:14.490
and his family entered
the ark through one door
397
00:19:14.490 --> 00:19:16.680
because that was the only door there was.
398
00:19:16.680 --> 00:19:20.220 line:15%
The only way you can come
into God's ark of safety,
399
00:19:20.220 --> 00:19:24.360 line:15%
which is Christ is by calling
Jesus the Lord of your life.
400
00:19:24.360 --> 00:19:27.810 line:15%
He is the door, he is
the way, he is the truth,
401
00:19:27.810 --> 00:19:29.160 line:15%
and he is the life.
402
00:19:29.160 --> 00:19:31.440 line:15%
And when you commit yourself to him
403
00:19:31.440 --> 00:19:33.870 line:15%
and call Jesus the Lord of your life,
404
00:19:33.870 --> 00:19:37.680 line:15%
the Holy Spirit miraculously
places you into the body
405
00:19:37.680 --> 00:19:40.320
of Christ, he places you into Christ
406
00:19:40.320 --> 00:19:43.770
and you are sealed in him
and you are safe in him.
407
00:19:43.770 --> 00:19:47.340
And it guarantees you can
sail through any season
408
00:19:47.340 --> 00:19:49.290
and you're going to make it all the way
409
00:19:49.290 --> 00:19:52.560
to your ultimate destination.
410
00:19:52.560 --> 00:19:54.450
That is amazing.
411
00:19:54.450 --> 00:19:58.410
All of that happens when
you come into Christ.
412
00:19:58.410 --> 00:19:59.430
But just as Noah
413
00:19:59.430 --> 00:20:03.750
and his family could only enter the ark through one door,
414
00:20:03.750 --> 00:20:06.660
there's only one way
to come into God's ark
415
00:20:06.660 --> 00:20:08.040
of safety which is Christ.
416
00:20:08.040 --> 00:20:11.160 line:15%
And that is by calling
Jesus the Lord of your life.
417
00:20:11.160 --> 00:20:13.740 line:15%
And if you've never done that,
you can do that right now
418
00:20:13.740 --> 00:20:16.590 line:15%
by yourself or you can call
us and we'll pray with you.
419
00:20:16.590 --> 00:20:18.840 line:15%
And if you've already
done that, I want you
420
00:20:18.840 --> 00:20:20.370 line:15%
to understand what it means.
421
00:20:20.370 --> 00:20:23.250 line:15%
You are in the safest place on the planet
422
00:20:23.250 --> 00:20:24.930 line:15%
because you're a Christian and
423
00:20:24.930 --> 00:20:27.870 line:15%
because you are in the
person of Jesus Christ.
424
00:20:27.870 --> 00:20:30.450 line:15%
But when we come back in tomorrow's program,
425
00:20:30.450 --> 00:20:35.370
we're gonna find out, How to Stay Steady in Turbulent Times.
426
00:20:35.370 --> 00:20:36.900
But I'll be back in just a moment
427
00:20:36.900 --> 00:20:38.010
and I'm going to pray for you.
428
00:20:46.440 --> 00:20:48.790
Someone asked me the question - Rick,
429
00:20:48.790 --> 00:20:52.660 line:15%
what is your most important purpose in life?
430
00:20:52.660 --> 00:20:55.810 line:15%
I struggled with that question for years: is my purpose
431
00:20:55.810 --> 00:20:58.480 line:15%
ministry: is my purpose activity.
432
00:20:58.480 --> 00:21:01.390 line:15%
I begin to ask, Lord, what is my purpose?
433
00:21:01.390 --> 00:21:04.600 line:15%
What is the most important thing that I can do
434
00:21:04.600 --> 00:21:06.580 line:15%
and what is the reason that I'm here?
435
00:21:06.580 --> 00:21:11.020
And I found the answer in Revelation 4:11,
436
00:21:11.020 --> 00:21:13.750 line:15%
which says - Thou art worthy oh Lord, to receive glory
437
00:21:13.750 --> 00:21:17.140 line:15%
and honor and power for
thou has created all things
438
00:21:17.140 --> 00:21:21.550 line:15%
and for thy pleasure are
they and worthy they created.
439
00:21:21.550 --> 00:21:26.545 line:15%
And I understood I am
here for his pleasure
440
00:21:26.545 --> 00:21:30.700 line:15%
and my most important purpose
in life is not what I do,
441
00:21:30.700 --> 00:21:32.770 line:15%
but is bringing pleasure to the Lord.
442
00:21:32.770 --> 00:21:36.520 line:15%
That is my highest goal.
That is my greatest ambition.
443
00:21:36.520 --> 00:21:41.110 line:15%
I am created for his pleasure, and my friends,
444
00:21:41.110 --> 00:21:43.750 line:15%
that is what you were created for as well.
445
00:21:43.750 --> 00:21:47.920 line:15%
So my answer is - My most important purpose in life is
446
00:21:47.920 --> 00:21:50.140 line:15%
to bring pleasure to the Lord.
447
00:21:50.140 --> 00:21:52.840 line:15%
It seems we are surrounded
by the swirling currents
448
00:21:52.840 --> 00:21:55.960 line:15%
of destruction in a world
that has gone astray.
449
00:21:55.960 --> 00:21:59.260 line:15%
Many feel besieged by
these tempestuous times
450
00:21:59.260 --> 00:22:01.330 line:15%
and worry about their loved ones praying
451
00:22:01.330 --> 00:22:04.570 line:15%
that they will somehow
survive the fluctuating tides.
452
00:22:04.570 --> 00:22:07.870
Noah and his family faced
insurmountable challenges,
453
00:22:07.870 --> 00:22:10.660 line:15%
but God showed Noah
concrete steps to ensure he
454
00:22:10.660 --> 00:22:13.210
and his family could
rise above the confusion
455
00:22:13.210 --> 00:22:16.240
and float on a raging sea of destruction.
456
00:22:16.240 --> 00:22:18.250 line:15%

This is Rick Renner, and
today I'm in the Tulsa office
484
00:23:26.080 --> 00:23:29.380
and this is another part
of our new TV studio.
485
00:23:29.380 --> 00:23:32.560
This is where Denise
is filming TV programs
486
00:23:32.560 --> 00:23:35.560 line:15%
and how wonderful the now we
have two little studios, one
487
00:23:35.560 --> 00:23:39.700 line:15%
for her and one for me where
we can interview guests
488
00:23:39.700 --> 00:23:41.140 line:15%
who can't come all the way to Russia
489
00:23:41.140 --> 00:23:43.090
to be interviewed in our studio there.
490
00:23:43.090 --> 00:23:45.020 line:15%
So when we're in the United States,
491
00:23:45.020 --> 00:23:46.790 line:15%
we can interview them here.
492
00:23:46.790 --> 00:23:49.400 line:15%
And that's what we've been doing all week
493
00:23:49.400 --> 00:23:52.970
in this wonderful facility which God gave us in
494
00:23:52.970 --> 00:23:54.200
Tulsa, Oklahoma.
495
00:23:54.200 --> 00:23:56.660
We're so grateful for this building,
496
00:23:56.660 --> 00:23:58.310
it was really a gift from the Lord
497
00:23:58.310 --> 00:24:03.310 line:15%
and it's almost paid for. We've already retired 86%
498
00:24:03.385 --> 00:24:05.030 line:15%
of the debt.
499
00:24:05.030 --> 00:24:07.220 line:15%
We just need to go a
little ways to finish this.
500
00:24:07.220 --> 00:24:10.400 line:15%
We call it the Ministry Expansion Project
501
00:24:10.400 --> 00:24:12.800
because when this is finished, it's going
502
00:24:12.800 --> 00:24:16.220 line:15%
to allow the ministry to
really expand financially,
503
00:24:16.220 --> 00:24:18.680 line:15%
to wrap our arms around the whole world
504
00:24:18.680 --> 00:24:22.010 line:15%
where people need the trusted
teaching of the Bible.
505
00:24:22.010 --> 00:24:24.200 line:15%
And we know that's our calling.
506
00:24:24.200 --> 00:24:26.300 line:15%
And if you're a part of the Giving Team, I want
507
00:24:26.300 --> 00:24:27.740 line:15%
to say thank you for helping us
508
00:24:27.740 --> 00:24:29.540 line:15%
to retire the dead on this facility
509
00:24:29.540 --> 00:24:31.760 line:15%
and to release those finances.
510
00:24:31.760 --> 00:24:33.500 line:15%
And if you're not a part
of the Giving Team yet,
511
00:24:33.500 --> 00:24:36.020 line:15%
I'm inviting you today to join us
512
00:24:36.020 --> 00:24:38.900 line:15%
to help us finish this project.
513
00:24:38.900 --> 00:24:42.170 line:15%
Wow - what a shout of victory we're gonna give to God on
514
00:24:42.170 --> 00:24:44.030 line:15%
that day when it's done,
515
00:24:44.030 --> 00:24:46.760 line:15%
and just think of the people
that are going to be reached.
516
00:24:46.760 --> 00:24:48.950 line:15%
So thank you for being a part
517
00:24:48.950 --> 00:24:50.870 line:15%
of the Ministry Expansion Project.
518
00:24:57.470 --> 00:24:59.000
By the way, if you've
been listening to me today
519
00:24:59.000 --> 00:25:01.700 line:15%
and you've never received
Jesus, call us right now.
520
00:25:01.700 --> 00:25:04.550 line:15%
We'll pray with you or at the
end of this program today,
521
00:25:04.550 --> 00:25:06.950 line:15%
there will be a prayer that you can pray
522
00:25:06.950 --> 00:25:10.280 line:15%
to make Jesus the Lord of your life.
523
00:25:10.280 --> 00:25:12.470 line:15%
But if you have a prayer
need, please reach out to us.
524
00:25:12.470 --> 00:25:15.830 line:15%
We believe there's a testimony
with your name on it waiting
525
00:25:15.830 --> 00:25:18.830 line:15%
for you, and we would
love to pray with you for
526
00:25:18.830 --> 00:25:21.830 line:15%
that testimony to be
realized in your life.
527
00:25:21.830 --> 00:25:23.780 line:15%
So whatever it is that's on your heart
528
00:25:23.780 --> 00:25:25.970 line:15%
or your facing, call us
529
00:25:25.970 --> 00:25:28.430 line:15%
or send us an email,
we'll release our faith.
530
00:25:28.430 --> 00:25:31.370 line:15%
And I want you to be sure to
order my new series called How
531
00:25:31.370 --> 00:25:34.640 line:15%
to Float on the Sea of
Destruction in the Last Days.
532
00:25:34.640 --> 00:25:37.910 line:15%
This is so good and tomorrow's
going to be amazing,
533
00:25:37.910 --> 00:25:40.640 line:15%
and it comes with a wonderful study guide
534
00:25:40.640 --> 00:25:42.890 line:15%
because I want you to be able
535
00:25:42.890 --> 00:25:44.990 line:15%
to read all the information
while you're seeing
536
00:25:44.990 --> 00:25:46.310 line:15%
or hearing the series
537
00:25:46.310 --> 00:25:49.430 line:15%
because it's a scientifically
proven fact that when you see
538
00:25:49.430 --> 00:25:51.620 line:15%
and hear or see at the same time
539
00:25:51.620 --> 00:25:55.160 line:15%
and read, it really gets the
teaching down deep inside you.
540
00:25:55.160 --> 00:25:57.260 line:15%
And that's why we offer this study guide along
541
00:25:57.260 --> 00:26:00.140 line:15%
with the series, and I want you to be sure to order my book,
542
00:26:00.140 --> 00:26:02.810 line:15%
which is called, Last Days Survival Guide.
543
00:26:02.810 --> 00:26:05.540 line:15%
The Forward is written by my friend, Perry Stone,
544
00:26:05.540 --> 00:26:09.620 line:15%
and the subtitle says - A Scriptural Handbook to prepare you
545
00:26:09.620 --> 00:26:11.960 line:15%
for these Perilous Times.
546
00:26:11.960 --> 00:26:13.970
But would you please put
your hand on your heart?
547
00:26:13.970 --> 00:26:15.950
And I wanna pray for you right now.
548
00:26:15.950 --> 00:26:18.560 line:15%
Father, I thank you that
when we come to know Jesus
549
00:26:18.560 --> 00:26:22.220 line:15%
as the Lord of our life,
we are placed in Him.
550
00:26:22.220 --> 00:26:24.950 line:15%
We are in Him. We are forever in Him.
551
00:26:24.950 --> 00:26:27.020 line:15%
We're sealed with the Holy Spirit,
552
00:26:27.020 --> 00:26:30.530 line:15%
and we thank you that being
in Christ is the safest place
553
00:26:30.530 --> 00:26:33.200 line:15%
to be, which means even if the waters
554
00:26:33.200 --> 00:26:37.820 line:15%
of destruction flood the world
around us by being in Christ,
555
00:26:37.820 --> 00:26:39.320 line:15%
your ark of safety,
556
00:26:39.320 --> 00:26:42.350
we can float on the waters of destruction.
557
00:26:42.350 --> 00:26:43.350
We thank you for this
558
00:26:43.350 --> 00:26:47.340
and I declare it to you by faith in Jesus' name -
559
00:26:47.340 --> 00:26:49.350
Amen. I'll see you tomorrow,
560
00:26:49.350 --> 00:26:53.220
but until then, remember Ecclesiastes 8:4, it says,
561
00:26:53.220 --> 00:26:56.490
"Where the word of a king is, there is power.:
562
00:26:56.490 --> 00:26:58.800
If you've never received Jesus as your Savior
563
00:26:58.800 --> 00:27:03.150 line:15%
and Lord, now is the time for you to experience a new life
564
00:27:03.150 --> 00:27:05.310
Jesus has to give you.
565
00:27:05.310 --> 00:27:09.900 line:15%
Pray this prayer with me right now - Lord, I repent
566
00:27:09.900 --> 00:27:13.410
of my sin and receive you as my Savior
567
00:27:13.410 --> 00:27:16.380
and Lord. Wash away my sin
568
00:27:16.380 --> 00:27:19.380
and make me completely new.
569
00:27:19.380 --> 00:27:23.190
I thank you that my sin is removed
570
00:27:23.190 --> 00:27:28.190
and Satan no longer has any
right to lay claim on me.
571
00:27:28.740 --> 00:27:32.700
I faithfully promise that
I will serve you as my Lord
572
00:27:32.700 --> 00:27:34.410
for the rest of my life
573
00:27:35.250 --> 00:27:40.020
Amen. Renner Ministry is proclaiming the gospel
574
00:27:40.020 --> 00:27:43.320

575
00:27:43.320 --> 00:27:45.330
