00:00:01.140 --> 00:00:03.630
This program is made
possible by the giving
2
00:00:03.630 --> 00:00:06.870
of the God called partners
of Renner Ministries.
3
00:00:08.340 --> 00:00:10.140
Hey friends, this is Rick Renner
4
00:00:10.140 --> 00:00:13.620
and here I am today still
standing on the very peak
5
00:00:13.620 --> 00:00:18.360 line:15%
or what was the bow of what
is possibly Noah's Ark.
6
00:00:18.360 --> 00:00:19.710
I use the word possibly,
7
00:00:19.710 --> 00:00:21.930 line:15%
but actually I believe
these really are the
8
00:00:21.930 --> 00:00:23.760 line:15%
ruins of Noah's Ark.
9
00:00:23.760 --> 00:00:27.840 line:15%
They've been thoroughly scanned and studied since 1959.
10
00:00:27.840 --> 00:00:32.370 line:15%
This exactly fits all the precise dimensions which are given
11
00:00:32.370 --> 00:00:35.190 line:15%
to us in Genesis 6.
12
00:00:35.190 --> 00:00:38.970 line:15%
Underneath my feet, we know from ground penetrating radar,
13
00:00:38.970 --> 00:00:42.240 line:15%
there are levels, there are
floors, there are rooms,
14
00:00:42.240 --> 00:00:43.500 line:15%
and of course, the size
15
00:00:43.500 --> 00:00:47.400 line:15%
of this object exactly is the same size
16
00:00:47.400 --> 00:00:50.970 line:15%
as the dimensions given to us in Genesis 6.
17
00:00:50.970 --> 00:00:52.920 line:15%
Wow! And I came here today
18
00:00:52.920 --> 00:00:56.310 line:15%
because I'm teaching a brand new series called, How
19
00:00:56.310 --> 00:01:00.870 line:15%
to Float on a Sea of Destruction In the Last Days.
20
00:01:00.870 --> 00:01:03.210
You know, we're told
in the book of Genesis
21
00:01:03.210 --> 00:01:05.880
that when the flood waters
came upon the earth,
22
00:01:05.880 --> 00:01:08.460
the ark was lifted up.
23
00:01:08.460 --> 00:01:12.090
The same waters which destroyed the world, caused the ark
24
00:01:12.090 --> 00:01:13.560
to bogie on top,
25
00:01:13.560 --> 00:01:16.320
And the ark was carried safely
26
00:01:16.320 --> 00:01:18.030 line:15%
because they had listened
27
00:01:18.030 --> 00:01:21.030 line:15%
to the Lord when he
gave them instructions.
28
00:01:21.030 --> 00:01:24.960 line:15%
And in the very same way that
Noah listened to instructions,
29
00:01:24.960 --> 00:01:29.310 line:15%
if we're gonna really survive
and thrive in these last days,
30
00:01:29.310 --> 00:01:31.320 line:15%
and friend, God doesn't
want you just to survive.
31
00:01:31.320 --> 00:01:33.060
He wants you to thrive.
32
00:01:33.060 --> 00:01:36.480 line:15%
But if you want to really thrive, then you have to have ears
33
00:01:36.480 --> 00:01:39.540 line:15%
to hear God's instructions.
34
00:01:39.540 --> 00:01:42.030
God may be speaking to you right now,
35
00:01:42.030 --> 00:01:43.680
but you have not been listening.
36
00:01:43.680 --> 00:01:45.660
You've gotta open your spiritual ears
37
00:01:45.660 --> 00:01:47.400
and say, God, my ears are open.
38
00:01:47.400 --> 00:01:50.580
Please give me instructions
about my family.
39
00:01:50.580 --> 00:01:52.740
Tell me what to do with my finances.
40
00:01:52.740 --> 00:01:54.750
Please speak to me about my health.
41
00:01:54.750 --> 00:01:57.450
Lord, we're surrounded by so
much craziness in these days.
42
00:01:57.450 --> 00:01:58.860
Please speak to me.
43
00:01:58.860 --> 00:02:01.620
Give me instructions
about how to protect me
44
00:02:01.620 --> 00:02:02.880
and those that I love,
45
00:02:02.880 --> 00:02:06.840
and if you will have ears to
hear, God will speak to you.
46
00:02:06.840 --> 00:02:10.140 line:15%
In fact, when we come to Genesis 6,
47
00:02:10.140 --> 00:02:13.500 line:15%
the Bible says - And God said to Noah, the end
48
00:02:13.500 --> 00:02:14.520 line:15%
of all flesh has come
49
00:02:14.520 --> 00:02:16.770 line:15%
before me, for the earth
is filled with violence
50
00:02:16.770 --> 00:02:18.120 line:15%
through them, and behold,
51
00:02:18.120 --> 00:02:19.680 line:15%
I will destroy them with the earth.
52
00:02:19.680 --> 00:02:22.530 line:15%
So make thee an ark of gopher wood -
53
00:02:22.530 --> 00:02:24.360 line:15%
and God begin to give instructions.
54
00:02:25.260 --> 00:02:27.990
But what if Noah had said, I
don't like what I'm hearing.
55
00:02:27.990 --> 00:02:29.610
I think I'm going to ignore that.
56
00:02:29.610 --> 00:02:32.160
Then he and his family would
not have been kept safely.
57
00:02:32.160 --> 00:02:34.230
He had to have ears to hear.
58
00:02:34.230 --> 00:02:36.180
And likewise, we're sailing
59
00:02:36.180 --> 00:02:39.030
through really turbulent
waters in our times
60
00:02:39.030 --> 00:02:42.870
and we've got to open our
spiritual ears to hear
61
00:02:42.870 --> 00:02:45.420
what the Lord has to say to us.
62
00:02:45.420 --> 00:02:48.060
And that is what I'm going
to talk to you about today.
63
00:02:48.990 --> 00:02:52.170
Get ready for a teaching
that feeds your spirit
64
00:02:52.170 --> 00:02:55.770
and your mind - where the
word is the anchor in
65
00:02:55.770 --> 00:02:57.720
uncertain times
66
00:02:57.720 --> 00:03:01.030
and doctrine doesn't bend to culture.
67
00:03:01.030 --> 00:03:02.470
We keep it simple,
68
00:03:02.470 --> 00:03:07.030
but dive deep, revealing a
truth that strengthens us,
69
00:03:07.900 --> 00:03:09.820 line:15%
a love that emboldens,
70
00:03:10.930 --> 00:03:13.090
and a mission that touches the world.
71
00:03:15.460 --> 00:03:16.960
Let's join Rick Renner.
72
00:03:18.790 --> 00:03:20.110
Welcome to today's program.
73
00:03:20.110 --> 00:03:21.220
My name is Rick Renner
74
00:03:21.220 --> 00:03:23.920
and I'm so glad that you have joined me. Today
75
00:03:23.920 --> 00:03:26.470
we're going to continue the series which is called, How
76
00:03:26.470 --> 00:03:29.740 line:15%
to Float on a Sea of Destruction in the Last Days.
77
00:03:29.740 --> 00:03:32.890 line:15%
And here we have a picture of Noah's Ark floating on a
78
00:03:32.890 --> 00:03:33.970 line:15%
Sea of Destruction.
79
00:03:33.970 --> 00:03:38.380 line:15%
The subtitle says - Principles
to Help You Sail Victoriously
80
00:03:38.380 --> 00:03:41.050 line:15%
through Turbulent End-Time Weather.
81
00:03:41.050 --> 00:03:44.920 line:15%
And I think you would agree
we're facing some turbulent in
82
00:03:44.920 --> 00:03:48.580 line:15%
time weather, but my friends,
we don't have to be capsized,
83
00:03:48.580 --> 00:03:50.800 line:15%
we don't have to go down
with everybody else.
84
00:03:50.800 --> 00:03:52.915 line:15%
We can literally stay afloat.
85
00:03:52.915 --> 00:03:55.390 line:15%
And by the way, not just stay afloat,
86
00:03:55.390 --> 00:03:58.540 line:15%
but to stay afloat,
victoriously all the way
87
00:03:58.540 --> 00:03:59.710 line:15%
to the end of the age.
88
00:03:59.710 --> 00:04:04.060 line:15%
And in this 10 part series
I cover all the essential
89
00:04:04.060 --> 00:04:06.250 line:15%
elements you need to stay afloat
90
00:04:06.250 --> 00:04:10.030 line:15%
and to be victorious all the
way to the end of the age.
91
00:04:10.030 --> 00:04:12.640 line:15%
And it comes with a study guide.
92
00:04:12.640 --> 00:04:14.980 line:15%
I love my study guides and my friends.
93
00:04:14.980 --> 00:04:17.860 line:15%
These study guides are
just loaded with insights
94
00:04:17.860 --> 00:04:19.120 line:15%
and information.
95
00:04:19.120 --> 00:04:22.030 line:15%
All the historical points
which I share in this series.
96
00:04:22.030 --> 00:04:23.380 line:15%
It's all in the study guide
97
00:04:23.380 --> 00:04:25.180 line:15%
because I really want
you to get this teaching
98
00:04:25.180 --> 00:04:26.620 line:15%
down deep inside you.
99
00:04:26.620 --> 00:04:30.220 line:15%
And, right now we're also offering you my book,
100
00:04:30.220 --> 00:04:32.710 line:15%
which is called, Last Days Survival Guide.
101
00:04:32.710 --> 00:04:35.590 line:15%
The Foreword is written by my friend, Perry Stone.
102
00:04:35.590 --> 00:04:37.090 line:15%
I just love Perry Stone
103
00:04:37.090 --> 00:04:39.040 line:15%
and I'm so thankful for the Foreword
104
00:04:39.040 --> 00:04:40.330 line:15%
that he wrote for this book.
105
00:04:40.330 --> 00:04:43.960 line:15%
And the subtitle says, A Scriptural Handbook to prepare you
106
00:04:43.960 --> 00:04:45.820 line:15%
for these Perilous Times.
107
00:04:45.820 --> 00:04:50.020 line:15%
And I really like this book because it is just so practical
108
00:04:50.020 --> 00:04:52.480 line:15%
and is not just a book of theology,
109
00:04:52.480 --> 00:04:55.180 line:15%
it's to really help prepare you for perilous times.
110
00:04:55.180 --> 00:04:58.720 line:15%
And at the end of every chapter, there are action steps
111
00:04:58.720 --> 00:05:02.410 line:15%
for you to take so you can
respond to what you have read.
112
00:05:02.410 --> 00:05:05.260 line:15%
This would be a great book
for you, a great book to give
113
00:05:05.260 --> 00:05:08.350 line:15%
to somebody else because
we really are living in
114
00:05:08.350 --> 00:05:10.390 line:15%
perilous times.
115
00:05:10.390 --> 00:05:13.750 line:15%
But hey - you can order all these things by going online
116
00:05:13.750 --> 00:05:14.980 line:15%
or by giving us a call.
117
00:05:14.980 --> 00:05:17.440 line:15%
And please remember that
we want to pray for you.
118
00:05:17.440 --> 00:05:19.420 line:15%
Just call the number
that's on the screen right
119
00:05:19.420 --> 00:05:21.070 line:15%
now or send an email.
120
00:05:21.070 --> 00:05:22.180 line:15%
We're waiting to hear from you.
121
00:05:22.180 --> 00:05:23.530 line:15%
And the moment we hear from you,
122
00:05:23.530 --> 00:05:25.480 line:15%
we're gonna release our faith according
123
00:05:25.480 --> 00:05:28.900 line:15%
to Jeremiah 33:3 which says - Call unto me,
124
00:05:28.900 --> 00:05:31.210 line:15%
I'll heal you, I'll answer you, and I'll show you great
125
00:05:31.210 --> 00:05:32.380 line:15%
and mighty things.
126
00:05:32.380 --> 00:05:37.060 line:15%
And my friends, we will call
out to God in faith with you.
127
00:05:37.060 --> 00:05:38.920 line:15%
Now you can pray by yourself,
128
00:05:38.920 --> 00:05:41.890 line:15%
but sometimes it helps to
have somebody pray with you
129
00:05:41.890 --> 00:05:43.900 line:15%
and we would love to pray with you.
130
00:05:43.900 --> 00:05:47.140 line:15%
And when we pray and get into
agreement, Jesus is going
131
00:05:47.140 --> 00:05:50.770 line:15%
to do something simply
magnificent for you.
132
00:05:50.770 --> 00:05:52.090 line:15%
So call us
133
00:05:52.090 --> 00:05:55.270 line:15%
or let us know how to pray
for you by going online
134
00:05:55.270 --> 00:05:56.740 line:15%
or by sending us an email.
135
00:05:56.740 --> 00:05:58.130 line:15%
But today, I want
136
00:05:58.130 --> 00:06:00.740 line:15%
to share just a few
testimonies about people
137
00:06:00.740 --> 00:06:02.270 line:15%
who've reached out to us.
138
00:06:02.270 --> 00:06:05.540 line:15%
One woman said - I want to thank the Lord for introducing me
139
00:06:05.540 --> 00:06:06.860 line:15%
to this ministry.
140
00:06:06.860 --> 00:06:08.270 line:15%
I know it was the Lord
141
00:06:08.270 --> 00:06:10.880 line:15%
because he knows that I
wanted to learn the Bible,
142
00:06:10.880 --> 00:06:12.200 line:15%
but I didn't know how.
143
00:06:12.200 --> 00:06:15.050 line:15%
And the reason I'm so grateful
for Renner Ministries is
144
00:06:15.050 --> 00:06:18.920 line:15%
because now I listen to the teachings, I download the audio
145
00:06:18.920 --> 00:06:20.090 line:15%
or the study guides,
146
00:06:20.090 --> 00:06:22.580 line:15%
and I've never learned
so much about the Bible
147
00:06:22.580 --> 00:06:24.140 line:15%
through anyone else.
148
00:06:24.140 --> 00:06:26.330 line:15%
This ministry is such a blessing to me
149
00:06:26.330 --> 00:06:29.450 line:15%
and thank you Rick Renner
for making the word of God
150
00:06:29.450 --> 00:06:31.220 line:15%
so easily understood
151
00:06:31.220 --> 00:06:32.750 line:15%
and with so much love.
152
00:06:32.750 --> 00:06:35.780 line:15%
This is giving me a new foundation for my life.
153
00:06:35.780 --> 00:06:37.190 line:15%
I would never have been able
154
00:06:37.190 --> 00:06:40.460 line:15%
to understand the Bible the
way I do now if it wasn't
155
00:06:40.460 --> 00:06:43.280 line:15%
for God connecting me to this ministry.
156
00:06:43.280 --> 00:06:46.700
Well, I want to say thank
you. That means so much to me.
157
00:06:46.700 --> 00:06:48.590 line:15%
But here's another testimony.
158
00:06:48.590 --> 00:06:51.470 line:15%
Thank you for prayers
from the partner team.
159
00:06:51.470 --> 00:06:54.020 line:15%
I made my first call ever to the ministry
160
00:06:54.020 --> 00:06:56.690 line:15%
and God moved powerfully in my life.
161
00:06:56.690 --> 00:07:00.710 line:15%
And a big thanks to Denise for
her books and her teachings.
162
00:07:00.710 --> 00:07:04.760 line:15%
She's so encouraging and obviously loves the Lord deeply.
163
00:07:04.760 --> 00:07:06.530 line:15%
I pray for Renner Ministries
164
00:07:06.530 --> 00:07:09.830 line:15%
and all the good they're doing to help people.
165
00:07:09.830 --> 00:07:12.950 line:15%
Another partner said - She received the monthly teaching
166
00:07:12.950 --> 00:07:17.060 line:15%
letter in the midst of a lot of difficulties she was facing
167
00:07:17.060 --> 00:07:18.320 line:15%
and wanted to say that
168
00:07:18.320 --> 00:07:20.180 line:15%
because of what God spoke to her
169
00:07:20.180 --> 00:07:23.060 line:15%
through the monthly teaching
letter, she's walking
170
00:07:23.060 --> 00:07:25.490 line:15%
through hardships with victory.
171
00:07:25.490 --> 00:07:26.600 line:15%
She also wanted to say
172
00:07:26.600 --> 00:07:29.840 line:15%
how much she appreciates the
prayer support she receives
173
00:07:29.840 --> 00:07:31.610 line:15%
from Renner Ministry.
174
00:07:31.610 --> 00:07:34.220
And here's a final testimony.
175
00:07:34.220 --> 00:07:35.450 line:15%
We just called a woman and
176
00:07:35.450 --> 00:07:38.570 line:15%
after we finished praying,
she broke down and said that
177
00:07:38.570 --> 00:07:40.640 line:15%
before we called, she had been very depressed
178
00:07:40.640 --> 00:07:44.510 line:15%
and then we called. She said in tears,
179
00:07:44.510 --> 00:07:46.940 line:15%
which she said she normally doesn't have,
180
00:07:46.940 --> 00:07:49.820 line:15%
Your call was not an accident.
181
00:07:50.780 --> 00:07:52.580 line:15%
We want you to reach out to us as well
182
00:07:52.580 --> 00:07:54.380 line:15%
because we believe there's an answer
183
00:07:54.380 --> 00:07:56.300 line:15%
to prayer waiting for you.
184
00:07:56.300 --> 00:07:59.480 line:15%
And we'll get into agreement
and Jesus will do his part.
185
00:07:59.480 --> 00:08:03.380 line:15%
He'll move in your life. But
hey, reach for your Bible.
186
00:08:03.380 --> 00:08:05.210 line:15%
We always use the Bible in this program.
187
00:08:05.210 --> 00:08:08.570 line:15%
And today we're gonna talk about - Having Ears to Hear
188
00:08:08.570 --> 00:08:09.860 line:15%
what the Spirit is Saying.
189
00:08:09.860 --> 00:08:13.520 line:15%
And I wanna ask - Do you have ears to hear
190
00:08:13.520 --> 00:08:15.590 line:15%
what the spirit wants to say to you?
191
00:08:15.590 --> 00:08:16.700 line:15%
In the last program,
192
00:08:16.700 --> 00:08:19.730 line:15%
we talked about having
instructions from the Lord
193
00:08:19.730 --> 00:08:22.100 line:15%
and the Lord will give you instructions.
194
00:08:22.100 --> 00:08:24.680 line:15%
But in order to receive
those instructions, you have
195
00:08:24.680 --> 00:08:28.040 line:15%
to have an ear to hear what
the spirit has to say to you.
196
00:08:28.040 --> 00:08:30.920 line:15%
But let's return to Genesis 7:
197
00:08:30.920 --> 00:08:33.050
16 and 17.
198
00:08:33.050 --> 00:08:35.150 line:15%
And in verse 16, the Bible says,
199
00:08:35.150 --> 00:08:38.180 line:15%
And they that went in - that is Noah, his family,
200
00:08:38.180 --> 00:08:40.190 line:15%
and all the animals - went in male
201
00:08:40.190 --> 00:08:43.160 line:15%
and female of all flesh as God had commanded him
202
00:08:43.160 --> 00:08:44.918 line:15%
and the Lord shut him in.
203
00:08:44.918 --> 00:08:46.776 line:15%
Then verse 17 says -
204
00:08:46.776 --> 00:08:49.151 line:15%
And the flood was 40 days upon the earth
205
00:08:49.151 --> 00:08:52.430 line:15%
and the waters increased
and bear up the ark
206
00:08:52.430 --> 00:08:56.490 line:15%
and it was lifted up above the earth - and we have it again.
207
00:08:56.490 --> 00:08:58.080 line:15%
The waters increased
208
00:08:58.080 --> 00:09:01.290
and as the waters increased,
it was a global flood
209
00:09:01.290 --> 00:09:05.370
that destroyed absolutely
everything except Noah
210
00:09:05.370 --> 00:09:07.860
and his family and the
animals that were on the ark
211
00:09:07.860 --> 00:09:11.520 line:15%
because they had received instructions which they obeyed.
212
00:09:11.520 --> 00:09:14.610 line:15%
And because they obeyed
those instructions,
213
00:09:14.610 --> 00:09:17.670 line:15%
they were literally
lifted up above the waters
214
00:09:17.670 --> 00:09:19.050 line:15%
of destruction
215
00:09:19.050 --> 00:09:22.800 line:15%
and floated on top of the same waters
216
00:09:22.800 --> 00:09:24.240 line:15%
that destroyed everything else.
217
00:09:24.240 --> 00:09:26.520 line:15%
And in the end of the age, my friends, if we'll listen
218
00:09:26.520 --> 00:09:29.490 line:15%
to the Lord and obey him, we can survive
219
00:09:29.490 --> 00:09:32.880 line:15%
and thrive even though
it seems there's a sea
220
00:09:32.880 --> 00:09:35.010 line:15%
of destruction all around us.
221
00:09:35.010 --> 00:09:38.640 line:15%
But last week we saw that No.1: you have
222
00:09:38.640 --> 00:09:41.370 line:15%
to be sealed tight in God's ark of safety,
223
00:09:41.370 --> 00:09:43.020 line:15%
which is Jesus Christ.
224
00:09:43.020 --> 00:09:45.810 line:15%
No.2: we saw that you have to have the word of God
225
00:09:45.810 --> 00:09:48.570
to steady you in turbulent times.
226
00:09:48.570 --> 00:09:51.930 line:15%
No.3: we saw the importance of making sacrifices
227
00:09:51.930 --> 00:09:55.890 line:15%
to bring God's presence to you
when you're in a bad place.
228
00:09:55.890 --> 00:09:57.870 line:15%
No.4: we saw that you need to know
229
00:09:57.870 --> 00:10:00.660 line:15%
who your people are, who
is the family of faith
230
00:10:00.660 --> 00:10:03.810 line:15%
that you belong to because you
need to be a part of a team
231
00:10:03.810 --> 00:10:05.970 line:15%
to sail through rough waters.
232
00:10:05.970 --> 00:10:08.130 line:15%
Then we saw on Friday the importance
233
00:10:08.130 --> 00:10:10.470 line:15%
of - having God's instructions.
234
00:10:10.470 --> 00:10:14.130 line:15%
And today we're gonna see the need to hear
235
00:10:14.130 --> 00:10:16.530 line:15%
what the spirit is saying.
236
00:10:16.530 --> 00:10:18.750 line:15%
If you don't have ears to hear,
237
00:10:18.750 --> 00:10:21.780 line:15%
you can't receive instructions.
238
00:10:21.780 --> 00:10:25.350 line:15%
But today we're going to begin in Hebrews 11:
239
00:10:25.350 --> 00:10:26.610 line:15%
7.
240
00:10:26.610 --> 00:10:30.120 line:15%
And in Hebrews 11:7, the Bible says,
241
00:10:30.120 --> 00:10:34.320 line:15%
By faith, Noah being warned of God
242
00:10:34.320 --> 00:10:37.530 line:15%
of things not seen as yet moved with fear
243
00:10:37.530 --> 00:10:40.620 line:15%
and prepared an ark to
the saving of his house.
244
00:10:40.620 --> 00:10:43.110 line:15%
But notice those two words in the very beginning
245
00:10:43.110 --> 00:10:46.380 line:15%
of this verse: By faith Noah, being warned.
246
00:10:46.380 --> 00:10:48.990 line:15%
Being warned, in Greek, is the word, chrematidzo.
247
00:10:48.990 --> 00:10:50.430 line:15%
And this is very important
248
00:10:50.430 --> 00:10:52.680 line:15%
because this word, chrematidzo,
249
00:10:52.680 --> 00:10:54.921 line:15%
describes a business transaction
250
00:10:54.921 --> 00:10:58.110 line:15%
and it really portrays the
relationship which Noah
251
00:10:58.110 --> 00:10:59.760 line:15%
had with the Lord.
252
00:10:59.760 --> 00:11:00.840 line:15%
It means to advise
253
00:11:00.840 --> 00:11:04.020 line:15%
or to consult with one
about important affairs.
254
00:11:04.020 --> 00:11:07.050 line:15%
And in this particular
case, it means to be advised
255
00:11:07.050 --> 00:11:09.480 line:15%
and consulted by God.
256
00:11:09.480 --> 00:11:12.150 line:15%
And literally it means
being divinely advised,
257
00:11:12.150 --> 00:11:15.810
being divinely consulted,
being divinely warned.
258
00:11:15.810 --> 00:11:19.080 line:15%
And it tells us that
Noah had a business like
259
00:11:19.080 --> 00:11:20.700 line:15%
relationship with God.
260
00:11:20.700 --> 00:11:24.120 line:15%
And Noah saw God as the boss
261
00:11:24.120 --> 00:11:26.280 line:15%
and himself as the servant.
262
00:11:26.280 --> 00:11:29.340 line:15%
And he was to do whatever
God told him to do.
263
00:11:29.340 --> 00:11:31.950 line:15%
And because his ears were open,
264
00:11:31.950 --> 00:11:35.220 line:15%
Noah was literally being divinely advised,
265
00:11:35.220 --> 00:11:38.250 line:15%
divinely consulted, divinely warned
266
00:11:38.250 --> 00:11:40.320 line:15%
by God himself.
267
00:11:40.320 --> 00:11:44.490 line:15%
Now I know that Noah himself was listening
268
00:11:44.490 --> 00:11:47.880 line:15%
to explicit instructions which
he was hearing from the Lord.
269
00:11:47.880 --> 00:11:51.480 line:15%
But if you look at Noah's family, you find
270
00:11:51.480 --> 00:11:54.820 line:15%
that God had been speaking
to Noah's family for years
271
00:11:54.820 --> 00:11:55.960 line:15%
and years and years.
272
00:11:55.960 --> 00:12:00.220 line:15%
For example, his
great-great-grandfather Jared,
273
00:12:00.220 --> 00:12:02.620 line:15%
Jared's name means shall come down.
274
00:12:02.620 --> 00:12:05.920 line:15%
And it was during the days of
Jared that fallen angels began
275
00:12:05.920 --> 00:12:09.520 line:15%
to come down in larger numbers
to co-mingle with women
276
00:12:09.520 --> 00:12:10.780 line:15%
and have sex with him.
277
00:12:10.780 --> 00:12:12.970 line:15%
And they were beginning
to give birth to giants.
278
00:12:12.970 --> 00:12:14.620 line:15%
It was a horrible time,
279
00:12:14.620 --> 00:12:18.220 line:15%
but Jared gave birth
to somebody named Enoch
280
00:12:18.220 --> 00:12:21.130 line:15%
who was also one of the
grandfathers of Noah.
281
00:12:21.130 --> 00:12:22.780 line:15%
The name Enoch means to teach
282
00:12:22.780 --> 00:12:25.690 line:15%
or to correct. Enoch heard from God.
283
00:12:25.690 --> 00:12:27.370 line:15%
In fact, he heard from God so clearly.
284
00:12:27.370 --> 00:12:29.650 line:15%
He wrote very ancient documents about
285
00:12:29.650 --> 00:12:31.180 line:15%
what was happening in that time.
286
00:12:31.180 --> 00:12:32.560 line:15%
And we know from the book of Jude
287
00:12:32.560 --> 00:12:35.110 line:15%
that Enoch even prophesied about the 2nd Coming
288
00:12:35.110 --> 00:12:38.050 line:15%
of Jesus at the very, very end of the age.
289
00:12:38.050 --> 00:12:41.020 line:15%
These were individuals who
were listening to the Lord.
290
00:12:41.020 --> 00:12:43.390 line:15%
And then we know that Enoch had a son whose name
291
00:12:43.390 --> 00:12:44.770 line:15%
was Methuselah.
292
00:12:44.770 --> 00:12:46.600 line:15%
He gave his son the name Methuselah
293
00:12:46.600 --> 00:12:47.770 line:15%
because it was prophetic.
294
00:12:47.770 --> 00:12:50.230 line:15%
It means when he dies then it will come.
295
00:12:50.230 --> 00:12:52.180 line:15%
That's what Methuselah's name meant.
296
00:12:52.180 --> 00:12:56.260 line:15%
And everyone knew when Methuselah dies, that's the signal
297
00:12:56.260 --> 00:12:58.030 line:15%
that judgment is coming.
298
00:12:58.030 --> 00:13:01.420 line:15%
But Methuselah gave birth to a son whose name was Lamech.
299
00:13:01.420 --> 00:13:04.450 line:15%
And the name, Lamech, means lamentation or sorrow.
300
00:13:04.450 --> 00:13:06.370 line:15%
And the reason he was so named is
301
00:13:06.370 --> 00:13:08.830 line:15%
because the world was filled
with so much lamentation
302
00:13:08.830 --> 00:13:10.120 line:15%
and sorrow during his life,
303
00:13:10.120 --> 00:13:12.610 line:15%
but he gave birth to a son named Noah.
304
00:13:12.610 --> 00:13:14.920 line:15%
And the word Noah means comfort or rest.
305
00:13:14.920 --> 00:13:18.310 line:15%
It was a prophecy that during Noah's life, comfort
306
00:13:18.310 --> 00:13:19.990 line:15%
and rest would finally come
307
00:13:19.990 --> 00:13:22.930 line:15%
to the planet from all the horrible things
308
00:13:22.930 --> 00:13:24.730 line:15%
that were taking place.
309
00:13:24.730 --> 00:13:28.600 line:15%
What I want you to understand
is Noah didn't just hear from
310
00:13:28.600 --> 00:13:31.930 line:15%
God himself, but his family
had been hearing from God
311
00:13:31.930 --> 00:13:33.520 line:15%
for a long, long time.
312
00:13:33.520 --> 00:13:37.090 line:15%
And one generation passed revelation to another generation
313
00:13:37.090 --> 00:13:39.640 line:15%
and another generation
and another generation
314
00:13:39.640 --> 00:13:40.840 line:15%
and another generation.
315
00:13:40.840 --> 00:13:43.780 line:15%
And when it finally came to
Noah, he didn't have to learn
316
00:13:43.780 --> 00:13:45.760 line:15%
how to hear by himself
317
00:13:45.760 --> 00:13:50.530 line:15%
because he came from a
family that had ears to hear.
318
00:13:50.530 --> 00:13:54.280 line:15%
And I want to ask you - Are you teaching your children
319
00:13:54.280 --> 00:13:57.730 line:15%
and your grandchildren how to hear? My friends,
320
00:13:57.730 --> 00:14:00.010 line:15%
they don't have to figure it out by themselves.
321
00:14:00.010 --> 00:14:03.730 line:15%
You can teach them how to hear from the spirit of God.
322
00:14:03.730 --> 00:14:07.000 line:15%
But that means you have to have ears to hear first.
323
00:14:07.000 --> 00:14:10.210 line:15%
And I'm gonna ask you again - Do you have ears to hear
324
00:14:10.210 --> 00:14:12.790 line:15%
what the spirit wants to say to you?
325
00:14:12.790 --> 00:14:15.100 line:15%
And by the way, I have a wonderful series called, How
326
00:14:15.100 --> 00:14:16.180 line:15%
to Know the Will of God.
327
00:14:16.180 --> 00:14:17.470 line:15%
You ought to get that series.
328
00:14:17.470 --> 00:14:20.140 line:15%
It will really help you
develop the process,
329
00:14:20.140 --> 00:14:23.500 line:15%
at least the beginning
process of having ears to hear
330
00:14:23.500 --> 00:14:25.420 line:15%
what the spirit wants to say to you.
331
00:14:25.420 --> 00:14:28.120 line:15%
But Noah had come from
a long line of people
332
00:14:28.120 --> 00:14:29.920
that had ears to hear.
333
00:14:29.920 --> 00:14:33.580 line:15%
And Hebrews 11:7 says - Being warned of God
334
00:14:33.580 --> 00:14:35.650
of things not seen as yet.
335
00:14:35.650 --> 00:14:39.670 line:15%
And the Greek literally means - not yet, not ever before.
336
00:14:39.670 --> 00:14:42.160 line:15%
Which means when God advised
337
00:14:42.160 --> 00:14:45.340 line:15%
and warned Noah about what
he was coming, God began
338
00:14:45.340 --> 00:14:48.520 line:15%
to tell him about things
no one had ever seen,
339
00:14:48.520 --> 00:14:51.140 line:15%
no one had even heard of, for example,
340
00:14:51.140 --> 00:14:52.610 line:15%
that a flood was going to come.
341
00:14:52.610 --> 00:14:54.290 line:15%
No one had ever seen a flood.
342
00:14:54.290 --> 00:14:55.730 line:15%
He told Noah
343
00:14:55.730 --> 00:14:59.180 line:15%
to build the ark in a dimension like nobody had ever
344
00:14:59.180 --> 00:15:00.410 line:15%
heard of before.
345
00:15:00.410 --> 00:15:02.510 line:15%
He began to tell Noah about things
346
00:15:02.510 --> 00:15:04.820 line:15%
that no one could even imagine.
347
00:15:04.820 --> 00:15:08.000 line:15%
But Noah had ears to
hear not just by himself,
348
00:15:08.000 --> 00:15:10.550 line:15%
but he had been taught and
had been given revelation
349
00:15:10.550 --> 00:15:12.620 line:15%
by previous generations.
350
00:15:12.620 --> 00:15:15.530 line:15%
Wow, do you see how
important this teaching is?
351
00:15:15.530 --> 00:15:18.620 line:15%
But the Bible says that
Noah moved with fear.
352
00:15:18.620 --> 00:15:22.760 line:15%
And this word in Greek mean that he took action urgently
353
00:15:22.760 --> 00:15:24.560 line:15%
and seriously.
354
00:15:24.560 --> 00:15:27.980 line:15%
And not only that, it
says he prepared an ark.
355
00:15:27.980 --> 00:15:30.350 line:15%
And the word prepared is
really, really important
356
00:15:30.350 --> 00:15:31.550 line:15%
because the very first part
357
00:15:31.550 --> 00:15:34.880 line:15%
of the Greek word has the preposition kata which means down,
358
00:15:34.880 --> 00:15:37.700 line:15%
and it really means taking serious action,
359
00:15:37.700 --> 00:15:39.920 line:15%
putting something very intense into it,
360
00:15:39.920 --> 00:15:43.130 line:15%
which meant he put forth great
effort to build that vessel.
361
00:15:43.130 --> 00:15:47.960 line:15%
He urgently responded and
begin working on the project
362
00:15:47.960 --> 00:15:52.520 line:15%
and he did it for the saving of his house.
363
00:15:52.520 --> 00:15:55.490 line:15%
The Greek actually says - for the explicit purpose
364
00:15:55.490 --> 00:15:58.280 line:15%
of saving his own household.
365
00:15:58.280 --> 00:16:02.240 line:15%
But Noah had ears to hear
366
00:16:02.240 --> 00:16:05.060 line:15%
that's why he received instructions.
367
00:16:05.060 --> 00:16:08.570 line:15%
So let's look at Genesis 6:13.
368
00:16:08.570 --> 00:16:12.020 line:15%
It says, And God said to Noah..The end of all flesh has come
369
00:16:12.020 --> 00:16:14.060 line:15%
before me, for the earth
is filled with violence
370
00:16:14.060 --> 00:16:17.240 line:15%
through them and behold I will
destroy them with the earth.
371
00:16:17.240 --> 00:16:19.970 line:15%
But notice God said to Noah
372
00:16:19.970 --> 00:16:22.820 line:15%
that it means Noah had ears to here.
373
00:16:22.820 --> 00:16:24.200 line:15%
He was listening.
374
00:16:24.200 --> 00:16:27.380 line:15%
Verse 14: God said - Make the an ark
375
00:16:27.380 --> 00:16:30.290 line:15%
of gopher wood. Rooms shalt thou make in the ark
376
00:16:30.290 --> 00:16:32.540 line:15%
and shall pitch it within
and without with pitch.
377
00:16:32.540 --> 00:16:35.510 line:15%
The very fact that God
said make the an ark,
378
00:16:35.510 --> 00:16:38.450 line:15%
and Noah heard, it means
Noah had ears to hear.
379
00:16:38.450 --> 00:16:39.710 line:15%
He was listening.
380
00:16:39.710 --> 00:16:41.270 line:15%
Look at verse 15:
381
00:16:41.270 --> 00:16:44.540 line:15%
and this is the fashion with
which thou shall make it.
382
00:16:44.540 --> 00:16:46.910 line:15%
Now God begins to tell him how to make it,
383
00:16:46.910 --> 00:16:49.460 line:15%
but the very fact that he
received instructions means he
384
00:16:49.460 --> 00:16:50.810 line:15%
was listening.
385
00:16:50.810 --> 00:16:53.720 line:15%
Verse 16: A window shalt thou make
386
00:16:53.720 --> 00:16:57.110 line:15%
to the ark, in a cubic shalt, thou finish it above
387
00:16:57.110 --> 00:17:00.500 line:15%
and the door of the ark shalt
thou set in the side thereof
388
00:17:00.500 --> 00:17:02.390 line:15%
with lower second and third stories.
389
00:17:02.390 --> 00:17:04.040 line:15%
shalt thou make it. Notice -
390
00:17:04.040 --> 00:17:07.760 line:15%
shalt thou, shalt thou, shalt thou: these were instructions.
391
00:17:07.760 --> 00:17:09.890 line:15%
And the reason that Noah
heard the instructions is
392
00:17:09.890 --> 00:17:12.290 line:15%
because he was listening.
393
00:17:12.290 --> 00:17:15.500 line:15%
And in fact, when you come to Genesis 6:22,
394
00:17:15.500 --> 00:17:18.260 line:15%
it says - Thus did Noah, according to all
395
00:17:18.260 --> 00:17:19.820 line:15%
that God commanded him
396
00:17:19.820 --> 00:17:21.350 line:15%
so did he.
397
00:17:21.350 --> 00:17:22.820 line:15%
He received instructions
398
00:17:22.820 --> 00:17:26.750 line:15%
because he had ears to hear.
399
00:17:26.750 --> 00:17:28.730 line:15%
Then you come to chapter 7:1 -
400
00:17:28.730 --> 00:17:31.280 line:15%
And the Lord said unto Noah, Come thou
401
00:17:31.280 --> 00:17:33.290 line:15%
and all thy house into the ark.
402
00:17:33.290 --> 00:17:34.820 line:15%
How did Noah know that
403
00:17:34.820 --> 00:17:37.970 line:15%
God said that - because Noah had ears to hear.
404
00:17:37.970 --> 00:17:40.730 line:15%
He was listening. He was listening.
405
00:17:40.730 --> 00:17:42.050 line:15%
And over and over
406
00:17:42.050 --> 00:17:45.920 line:15%
and over, as we go through this text, we find that God said
407
00:17:45.920 --> 00:17:48.320 line:15%
and Noah heard. My friends,
408
00:17:48.320 --> 00:17:51.690 line:15%
God is speaking all the time. He's speaking to you.
409
00:17:51.690 --> 00:17:54.300 line:15%
You may not be hearing it,
but God is speaking to you,
410
00:17:54.300 --> 00:17:57.480 line:15%
but you have to have ears to hear.
411
00:17:57.480 --> 00:18:01.290 line:15%
And it's interesting that in the gospels, 6-times,
412
00:18:01.290 --> 00:18:04.110 line:15%
Jesus pleaded with people to have ears to hear.
413
00:18:04.110 --> 00:18:08.820 line:15%
For example: in Matthew 11:15,
Jesus said, he that hath ears
414
00:18:08.820 --> 00:18:10.290 line:15%
to hear, let him hear.
415
00:18:10.290 --> 00:18:14.370 line:15%
In Matthew 13:9, Jesus said, he who hath ears
416
00:18:14.370 --> 00:18:15.990 line:15%
to hear let him hear.
417
00:18:15.990 --> 00:18:19.980 line:15%
In Matthew 13:43, Jesus said,
he who hath ears to hear,
418
00:18:19.980 --> 00:18:21.180 line:15%
let him hear.
419
00:18:21.180 --> 00:18:23.940 line:15%
In Mark four nine, Jesus
said, he that hath ears
420
00:18:23.940 --> 00:18:25.380 line:15%
to hear, let him hear.
421
00:18:25.380 --> 00:18:28.860 line:15%
In Mark 4:23, Jesus said, if any man hath ears
422
00:18:28.860 --> 00:18:30.270 line:15%
to hear, let him hear.
423
00:18:30.270 --> 00:18:34.920 line:15%
And in Luke 8:8, Jesus said, he that hath ears
424
00:18:34.920 --> 00:18:36.990 line:15%
to hear, let him hear.
425
00:18:36.990 --> 00:18:40.980 line:15%
And not only that, to all 7-churches in the book
426
00:18:40.980 --> 00:18:45.060 line:15%
of Revelation - in Revelation 2:7, Revelation 2:11,
427
00:18:45.060 --> 00:18:49.290 line:15%
Revelation 2:17, Revelation 2:29, Revelation 3:6,
428
00:18:49.290 --> 00:18:54.150 line:15%
Revelation 3:13, Revelation 3:22 - To Ephesus, Smyrna,
429
00:18:54.150 --> 00:18:56.400 line:15%
Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia
430
00:18:56.400 --> 00:18:58.980 line:15%
and Laodicea - to all of the 7 churches
431
00:18:58.980 --> 00:19:01.800 line:15%
Jesus said - He that hath
432
00:19:01.800 --> 00:19:05.730 line:15%
and ear, let him hear: let him hear
433
00:19:05.730 --> 00:19:09.960 line:15%
with the Spirit sayeth unto the churches. My friends,
434
00:19:09.960 --> 00:19:13.680 line:15%
God is speaking and God will give you all the instructions
435
00:19:13.680 --> 00:19:16.650 line:15%
you need to sail through whatever you're facing right now
436
00:19:16.650 --> 00:19:18.360 line:15%
and for the church itself,
437
00:19:18.360 --> 00:19:20.730 line:15%
to sail victoriously to the end of the age.
438
00:19:20.730 --> 00:19:23.700 line:15%
But Jesus is still crying out in these saying - Please,
439
00:19:23.700 --> 00:19:26.130 line:15%
if you have an ear to hear, then hear
440
00:19:26.130 --> 00:19:27.690 line:15%
what I'm saying to you.
441
00:19:27.690 --> 00:19:29.820 line:15%
And if you'll open your ear to hear,
442
00:19:29.820 --> 00:19:33.930 line:15%
Jesus will give you the
instructions that you need.
443
00:19:33.930 --> 00:19:36.480 line:15%
Jesus is speaking all the time,
444
00:19:36.480 --> 00:19:39.210 line:15%
but the fact is everybody
is not listening.
445
00:19:39.210 --> 00:19:43.980 line:15%
So I have to ask, what about
you? Do you have ears to hear?
446
00:19:43.980 --> 00:19:46.530 line:15%
And if you will listen, 1st of all,
447
00:19:46.530 --> 00:19:48.390 line:15%
if you'll listen to God's word.
448
00:19:48.390 --> 00:19:51.240 line:15%
Secondly, if you'll listen to the voice of the Holy Spirit,
449
00:19:51.240 --> 00:19:54.510 line:15%
he will begin to give
you what you need for you
450
00:19:54.510 --> 00:19:56.730 line:15%
and for your family to sail
451
00:19:56.730 --> 00:20:00.570 line:15%
through these times in victory.
452
00:20:00.570 --> 00:20:02.970 line:15%
And if you don't have ears
to hear, then today say,
453
00:20:02.970 --> 00:20:06.300 line:15%
holy Spirit, help me to open
my ears that I can begin
454
00:20:06.300 --> 00:20:09.660 line:15%
to hear the instructions
that you want to give me.
455
00:20:09.660 --> 00:20:14.010 line:15%
And in Genesis 7:17, we read again
456
00:20:14.010 --> 00:20:15.990 line:15%
And the flood was 40 days upon the earth
457
00:20:15.990 --> 00:20:18.300 line:15%
and the waters increased
and bear up the ark
458
00:20:18.300 --> 00:20:21.120 line:15%
and it was lifted up above the earth.
459
00:20:21.120 --> 00:20:23.040 line:15%
The ark was born above it all.
460
00:20:23.040 --> 00:20:24.480 line:15%
It was lifted up above the earth
461
00:20:24.480 --> 00:20:26.040 line:15%
and above the sea of destruction
462
00:20:26.040 --> 00:20:29.400 line:15%
because Noah had ears to hear.
463
00:20:29.400 --> 00:20:32.040 line:15%
He received the
instructions that he needed.
464
00:20:32.040 --> 00:20:36.990 line:15%
And likewise, you need ears
to hear so you can hear
465
00:20:36.990 --> 00:20:40.740 line:15%
what God wants to tell you so you can get -
466
00:20:40.740 --> 00:20:44.130 line:15%
through whatever you're dealing with in your life right now.
467
00:20:44.130 --> 00:20:46.920 line:15%
Do you have ears to hear?
468
00:20:46.920 --> 00:20:48.130 line:15%
And be back in just a moment
469
00:20:48.130 --> 00:20:51.250 line:15%
and I'm going to pray for
you to have ears to hear
470
00:20:51.250 --> 00:20:53.020 line:15%
what the spirit wants to say to you.
471
00:21:01.240 --> 00:21:02.860
Someone has asked the question -
472
00:21:02.860 --> 00:21:06.160 line:15%
How do I begin speaking in tongues?
473
00:21:06.160 --> 00:21:08.110 line:15%
Well, that's a great question.
474
00:21:08.110 --> 00:21:11.740 line:15%
You need to ask Jesus to fill
you with the Holy Spirit.
475
00:21:11.740 --> 00:21:14.830 line:15%
We're told in the Bible that
he is the one that baptizes
476
00:21:14.830 --> 00:21:16.540 line:15%
with the Holy Spirit and power.
477
00:21:16.540 --> 00:21:19.390 line:15%
And in Acts 2, when they were filled
478
00:21:19.390 --> 00:21:22.810 line:15%
with the Holy Spirit, they begin to speak with other tongues
479
00:21:22.810 --> 00:21:25.450 line:15%
as the spirit gave them the utterance.
480
00:21:25.450 --> 00:21:28.600 line:15%
But notice it says - The Spirit gave them the utterance.
481
00:21:28.600 --> 00:21:30.460 line:15%
They had to speak it out,
482
00:21:30.460 --> 00:21:33.130 line:15%
but the Holy Spirit gave them the ability.
483
00:21:33.130 --> 00:21:34.450 line:15%
When I received the baptism
484
00:21:34.450 --> 00:21:36.700 line:15%
in the Holy Spirit, I was afraid to begin
485
00:21:36.700 --> 00:21:39.370 line:15%
to pray in tongues because I was concerned
486
00:21:39.370 --> 00:21:41.470 line:15%
that maybe I was just making it up.
487
00:21:41.470 --> 00:21:42.940 line:15%
But one day the Holy Spirit spoke to me
488
00:21:42.940 --> 00:21:45.070 line:15%
and said, come on Rick, let's get started.
489
00:21:45.070 --> 00:21:48.730
And I began to speak by faith
and it was like a damn broke
490
00:21:48.730 --> 00:21:51.610 line:15%
and suddenly pouring forth from the inside
491
00:21:51.610 --> 00:21:54.280 line:15%
of me was this beautiful language.
492
00:21:54.280 --> 00:21:56.800 line:15%
And my friends today praying in tongues
493
00:21:56.800 --> 00:22:00.070 line:15%
as a very significant part of my life.
494
00:22:00.070 --> 00:22:01.660 line:15%
And if you've never prayed in tongues
495
00:22:01.660 --> 00:22:03.160 line:15%
but you want to pray in tongues,
496
00:22:03.160 --> 00:22:05.350 line:15%
it's really the language of your spirit.
497
00:22:05.350 --> 00:22:08.590 line:15%
It's the most direct communication between your spirit
498
00:22:08.590 --> 00:22:10.210 line:15%
and God who also is a spirit.
499
00:22:10.210 --> 00:22:13.300 line:15%
Just say, Jesus, fill me with the Holy Spirit.
500
00:22:13.300 --> 00:22:15.430 line:15%
Open your mouth and begin to speak.
501
00:22:15.430 --> 00:22:17.980 line:15%
And Jesus will enable you to begin to
502
00:22:17.980 --> 00:22:19.330 line:15%
pray in other tongues.
503
00:22:19.330 --> 00:22:23.170 line:15%
It's it seems we are surrounded by the swirling currents
504
00:22:23.170 --> 00:22:26.290 line:15%
of destruction in a world
that has gone astray.
505
00:22:26.290 --> 00:22:29.590 line:15%
Many feel besieged by
these tempestuous times
506
00:22:29.590 --> 00:22:31.690 line:15%
and worry about their loved ones, praying
507
00:22:31.690 --> 00:22:34.900 line:15%
that they will somehow survive the fluctuating tides.
508
00:22:34.900 --> 00:22:38.200 line:15%
Noah and his family faced insurmountable challenges,
509
00:22:38.200 --> 00:22:40.990 line:15%
but God showed Noah
concrete steps to ensure he
510
00:22:40.990 --> 00:22:43.540 line:15%
and his family could
rise above the confusion
511
00:22:43.540 --> 00:22:46.570 line:15%
and float on a raging sea of destruction.
512

516
00:22:54.820 --> 00:22:58.330 line:15%
how those same instructions are needed again now to survive
517
00:22:58.330 --> 00:23:00.490 line:15%

This is Rick Renner, and
today I'm in the Tulsa office
540
00:23:56.390 --> 00:23:59.720 line:15%
and this is another part
of our new TV studio.
541
00:23:59.720 --> 00:24:02.570 line:15%
This is where Denise
is filming TV programs
542
00:24:02.570 --> 00:24:05.900 line:15%
and how wonderful that now we
have two little studios, one
543
00:24:05.900 --> 00:24:10.040 line:15%
for her and one for me where
we can interview guests
544
00:24:10.040 --> 00:24:11.480 line:15%
who can't come all the way to Russia
545
00:24:11.480 --> 00:24:13.430 line:15%
to be interviewed in our studio there.
546
00:24:13.430 --> 00:24:15.350 line:15%
So when we're in the United States,
547
00:24:15.350 --> 00:24:17.120 line:15%
we can interview them here.
548
00:24:17.120 --> 00:24:19.730 line:15%
And that's what we've been doing all week
549
00:24:19.730 --> 00:24:23.300 line:15%
in this wonderful facility
which God gave us in
550
00:24:23.300 --> 00:24:24.530 line:15%
Tulsa, Oklahoma.
551
00:24:24.530 --> 00:24:27.020 line:15%
We're so grateful for this building,
552
00:24:27.020 --> 00:24:30.710 line:15%
it was really a gift from the
Lord and it's almost paid for.
553
00:24:30.710 --> 00:24:35.360 line:15%
We've already retired, 86% of the debt.
554
00:24:35.360 --> 00:24:37.520 line:15%
We just need to go a
little ways to finish this.
555
00:24:37.520 --> 00:24:40.730 line:15%
We call the Ministry Expansion Project
556
00:24:40.730 --> 00:24:43.100 line:15%
because when this is finished, it's going
557
00:24:43.100 --> 00:24:46.580 line:15%
to allow the ministry to
really expand financially,
558
00:24:46.580 --> 00:24:49.010
to wrap our arms around the whole world
559
00:24:49.010 --> 00:24:52.370 line:15%
where people need the trusted
teaching of the Bible.
560
00:24:52.370 --> 00:24:54.530 line:15%
And we know that's our calling.
561
00:24:54.530 --> 00:24:56.645 line:15%
And if you're a part of
the Giving Team, I want
562
00:24:56.645 --> 00:24:58.070 line:15%
to say thank you for helping us
563
00:24:58.070 --> 00:24:59.870 line:15%
to retire the dead on this facility
564
00:24:59.870 --> 00:25:02.120 line:15%
and to release those finances.
565
00:25:02.120 --> 00:25:03.830 line:15%
And if you're not a part
of the Giving Team yet,
566
00:25:03.830 --> 00:25:06.350 line:15%
I'm inviting you today to join us
567

Wow, what a shalt of victory
we're gonna give to God on
569
00:25:12.470 --> 00:25:14.330 line:15%
that day when it's done.
570
00:25:14.330 --> 00:25:17.090 line:15%
And just think of the people
that are going to be reached.
571
00:25:17.090 --> 00:25:19.280 line:15%
So thank you for being a part
572
00:25:19.280 --> 00:25:21.200 line:15%

Put your hand on your heart - Father, in the name
597
00:26:27.410 --> 00:26:31.130 line:15%
of Jesus Lord, you've given
us ears to hear, so help us
598
00:26:31.130 --> 00:26:32.870 line:15%
to open our ears.
599
00:26:32.870 --> 00:26:34.790 line:15%
You have instructions
that you want to speak
600
00:26:34.790 --> 00:26:36.500 line:15%
to every one of us.
601
00:26:36.500 --> 00:26:38.420 line:15%
Lord, if we're not hearing them, it's
602
00:26:38.420 --> 00:26:39.680 line:15%
because we're not listening.
603
00:26:39.680 --> 00:26:41.090 line:15%
You're so good. You're telling us
604
00:26:41.090 --> 00:26:42.440 line:15%
everything we need to know.
605
00:26:42.440 --> 00:26:46.050 line:15%
So help us Lord to hear
what you're saying to us
606
00:26:46.050 --> 00:26:49.470 line:15%
and help us to develop
our ears, spiritual ears
607
00:26:49.470 --> 00:26:52.530 line:15%

it is that you want to say
608
00:26:52.530 --> 00:26:54.930 line:15%
to us - in Jesus name -
609

00:27:05.280 --> 00:27:07.080
what the spirit has to say to you.
614
00:27:07.080 --> 00:27:08.490
But I'll see you tomorrow,
615
00:27:08.490 --> 00:27:11.400

616
00:27:11.400 --> 00:27:14.520
"Where the word of a king is there's power."
617
00:27:14.520 --> 00:27:16.770
If you've never received
Jesus as your Savior
618
00:27:16.770 --> 00:27:21.150 line:15%
and Lord, now is the time for
you to experience a new life
619
00:27:21.150 --> 00:27:23.310 line:15%
Jesus has to give you.
620
00:27:23.310 --> 00:27:27.420 line:15%
Pray this prayer with me right now - Lord,
621
00:27:27.420 --> 00:27:31.410
I repent of my sin and
receive you as my Savior
622
00:27:31.410 --> 00:27:34.380
and Lord. Wash away my sin
623
00:27:34.380 --> 00:27:37.410
and make me completely new.
624
00:27:37.410 --> 00:27:41.190
I thank you that my sin is removed
625
00:27:41.190 --> 00:27:46.190
and Satan no longer has any
right to lay claim on me.
626
00:27:46.740 --> 00:27:50.730
I faithfully promise that
I will serve you as my Lord
627
00:27:50.730 --> 00:27:52.410
for the rest of my life
628
00:27:53.280 --> 00:27:57.630
