00:00:01.200 --> 00:00:03.660 line:15%
This program is made
possible by the giving
2
00:00:03.660 --> 00:00:06.900 line:15%
of the God called partners
of Renner Ministries.
3
00:00:07.950 --> 00:00:09.870 line:15%
Hey friends, this is Rick Renner,
4
00:00:09.870 --> 00:00:12.330 line:15%
and here I am again
standing on the very peak
5
00:00:12.330 --> 00:00:15.240 line:15%
or what was the bow of Noah's Ark.
6
00:00:15.240 --> 00:00:18.840 line:15%
This site is reputed to be
the ruins of Noah's Ark,
7
00:00:18.840 --> 00:00:20.700 line:15%
and I believe that it really is,
8
00:00:20.700 --> 00:00:24.780 line:15%
it matches all the biblical
qualifications to be the Ark.
9
00:00:24.780 --> 00:00:27.570 line:15%
People have been searching
for it on Mount Ararat,
10
00:00:27.570 --> 00:00:29.953 line:15%
but the Bible doesn't say that the ark landed on
11
00:00:29.953 --> 00:00:30.861 line:15%
Mount Ararat.
12
00:00:30.861 --> 00:00:33.480 line:15%
Look it up. Genesis 8:5 says,
13
00:00:33.480 --> 00:00:35.910 line:15%
it landed in the Mountains of Ararat,
14
00:00:35.910 --> 00:00:39.690 line:15%
and these are the Mountains of Ararat.
15
00:00:39.690 --> 00:00:43.710 line:15%
And this particular boat shaped object precisely fits the
16
00:00:43.710 --> 00:00:47.670 line:15%
dimensions which are given to us in Genesis 6.
17
00:00:47.670 --> 00:00:52.080 line:15%
And it's been thoroughly searched and researched since 1959.
18
00:00:52.080 --> 00:00:55.590 line:15%
And I believe these really are the ruins of Noah's Ark.
19
00:00:55.590 --> 00:00:57.210 line:15%
But let me ask you a question.
20
00:00:57.210 --> 00:01:00.480 line:15%
What if God had given specific instructions to Noah
21
00:01:00.480 --> 00:01:04.080 line:15%
and Noah heard them, but he wasn't willing to obey?
22
00:01:04.080 --> 00:01:07.020 line:15%
What if he said, God, I don't
wanna spend all my money
23
00:01:07.020 --> 00:01:09.720 line:15%
and all my effort on
building that big boat.
24
00:01:09.720 --> 00:01:12.000 line:15%
Nobody's ever seen a
boat like that before?
25
00:01:12.000 --> 00:01:13.590 line:15%
No one knows what a flood is.
26
00:01:13.590 --> 00:01:16.020 line:15%
God, I just don't know
if I'm willing to do
27
00:01:16.020 --> 00:01:17.490 line:15%
what you've told me to do.
28
00:01:17.490 --> 00:01:18.720 line:15%
Or what if Mrs.
29
00:01:18.720 --> 00:01:20.370 line:15%
Noah or Noah's sons
30
00:01:20.370 --> 00:01:23.430 line:15%
or daughters-in-law had
said, we're just not willing
31
00:01:23.430 --> 00:01:25.410 line:15%
to do this, then they
would've been destroyed
32
00:01:25.410 --> 00:01:26.730 line:15%
with everybody else.
33
00:01:26.730 --> 00:01:29.520 line:15%
They had to be willing to obey.
34
00:01:29.520 --> 00:01:32.610 line:15%
And in the very same
way in these last days,
35
00:01:32.610 --> 00:01:35.580 line:15%
when we're surrounded by so much nonsense
36
00:01:35.580 --> 00:01:39.720 line:15%
and destruction, we have to
receive God's instructions.
37
00:01:39.720 --> 00:01:43.020 line:15%
We have to have ears to
really hear what he is saying.
38
00:01:43.020 --> 00:01:46.295 line:15%
And then we have to be
willing to do whatever it is
39
00:01:46.295 --> 00:01:48.330 line:15%
that God has told us to do,
40
00:01:48.330 --> 00:01:51.150 line:15%
even if it doesn't make sense to us.
41
00:01:51.150 --> 00:01:54.750 line:15%
And even if we don't like what he is asking us to do.
42
00:01:54.750 --> 00:01:56.760 line:15%
Friends, he knows the future.
43
00:01:56.760 --> 00:01:57.840 line:15%
He knows what's coming.
44
00:01:57.840 --> 00:02:01.230 line:15%
He knows how to save us,
that we have to be willing
45
00:02:01.230 --> 00:02:04.200 line:15%
to obey if we're gonna float on a sea
46
00:02:04.200 --> 00:02:06.540 line:15%
of destruction in the last days.
47
00:02:06.540 --> 00:02:09.510 line:15%
And that is what I'm gonna
talk to you about today.
48
00:02:10.530 --> 00:02:13.710 line:15%
Get ready for a teaching
that feeds your spirit
49
00:02:13.710 --> 00:02:17.280 line:15%
and your mind, where the
word is the anchor in
50
00:02:17.280 --> 00:02:19.260 line:15%
uncertain times
51
00:02:19.260 --> 00:02:22.560 line:15%
and doctrine doesn't bend to culture.
52
00:02:22.560 --> 00:02:23.970 line:15%
We keep it simple,
53
00:02:23.970 --> 00:02:28.970 line:15%
but dive deep revealing a
truth that strengthens us,
54
00:02:29.430 --> 00:02:31.320 line:15%
a love that emboldens,
55
00:02:32.460 --> 00:02:34.590 line:15%
and a mission that touches the world.
56
00:02:36.960 --> 00:02:40.260 line:15%
Let's join Rick Renner.
57
00:02:40.260 --> 00:02:41.610 line:15%
Welcome to today's program.
58
00:02:41.610 --> 00:02:42.810 line:15%
My name is Rick Renner
59
00:02:42.810 --> 00:02:45.330 line:15%
and I've been waiting
right here for this moment
60
00:02:45.330 --> 00:02:49.320 line:15%
so we can rendezvous around
the wonderful word of God.
61
00:02:49.320 --> 00:02:51.990 line:15%
And I'm teaching my
series, which is called How
62
00:02:51.990 --> 00:02:56.010 line:15%
to Float on a Sea of
Destruction in the Last Days.
63
00:02:56.010 --> 00:02:57.840 line:15%
And there on the cover is a picture
64
00:02:57.840 --> 00:03:02.020 line:15%
of Noah's Ark literally floating on a sea of destruction.
65
00:03:02.020 --> 00:03:04.600 line:15%
Those waters destroyed the world,
66
00:03:04.600 --> 00:03:07.870 line:15%
but the same waters that destroyed the world caused Noah
67
00:03:07.870 --> 00:03:11.440 line:15%
and his family to rise higher and higher and higher
68
00:03:11.440 --> 00:03:15.340 line:15%
and they literally floated on waters of destruction.
69
00:03:15.340 --> 00:03:18.820 line:15%
And I prophesied to you in Jesus' name that if you'll do
70
00:03:18.820 --> 00:03:21.610 line:15%
what God tells you to do in these last days,
71
00:03:21.610 --> 00:03:26.020 line:15%
you can also float on a sea of destruction.
72
00:03:26.020 --> 00:03:28.600 line:15%
You may feel that you're
surrounded by all kinds
73
00:03:28.600 --> 00:03:30.550 line:15%
of turbulence and nonsense.
74
00:03:30.550 --> 00:03:32.860 line:15%
And by the way, buckle your seatbelt
75
00:03:32.860 --> 00:03:35.230 line:15%
because it's just getting started.
76
00:03:35.230 --> 00:03:37.360 line:15%
As we sail to the end
of the age, it's going
77
00:03:37.360 --> 00:03:39.820 line:15%
to get even more crazy and bizarre.
78
00:03:39.820 --> 00:03:43.060 line:15%
But my friends, if we'll take
the principles of God's word
79
00:03:43.060 --> 00:03:46.750 line:15%
and apply them, we will not
sink with everybody else.
80
00:03:46.750 --> 00:03:48.130 line:15%
And that's why the subtitle
81
00:03:48.130 --> 00:03:50.230 line:15%
of this series says - 10 Principles
82
00:03:50.230 --> 00:03:52.510 line:15%
to Help You Sail Victoriously
83
00:03:52.510 --> 00:03:55.510 line:15%
Through Turbulent End-Time Weather.
84
00:03:55.510 --> 00:03:59.890 line:15%
You can do it, but this also comes with a great study guide.
85
00:03:59.890 --> 00:04:02.020 line:15%
I put a lot of work
into these study guides.
86
00:04:02.020 --> 00:04:05.590 line:15%
I really do them myself
working with my team.
87
00:04:05.590 --> 00:04:06.760 line:15%
And we do these
88
00:04:06.760 --> 00:04:09.460 line:15%
because we want you to see
the information while you're
89
00:04:09.460 --> 00:04:12.940 line:15%
seeing or hearing the program
because when you read and see
90
00:04:12.940 --> 00:04:14.770 line:15%
or hear all at the same time,
91
00:04:14.770 --> 00:04:17.140 line:15%
it really gets the teaching
down deep inside you.
92
00:04:17.140 --> 00:04:20.650 line:15%
And you need this teaching to
be reinforced in your life.
93
00:04:20.650 --> 00:04:23.140 line:15%
And we're also offering
you right now my book,
94
00:04:23.140 --> 00:04:26.590 line:15%
which is called, Last Day's Survival Guide; the
95
00:04:26.590 --> 00:04:28.965 line:15%
for Word is written by my friend Perry Stone,
96
00:04:28.965 --> 00:04:32.770 line:15%
and the subtitle says, A scriptural Handbook to prepare you
97
00:04:32.770 --> 00:04:35.260 line:15%
for these perilous times.
98
00:04:35.260 --> 00:04:38.440 line:15%
I love this book because
it is just so practical.
99
00:04:38.440 --> 00:04:41.500 line:15%
And at the end of every chapter, there are action steps
100
00:04:41.500 --> 00:04:44.320 line:15%
for you to take in response
to what you have read.
101
00:04:44.320 --> 00:04:46.870 line:15%
And by the way, this will
be great for you to read.
102
00:04:46.870 --> 00:04:48.520 line:15%
It'd be great for somebody else to read.
103
00:04:48.520 --> 00:04:50.320 line:15%
So you ought to order several.
104
00:04:50.320 --> 00:04:52.810 line:15%
But you can order all these
things by going online
105
00:04:52.810 --> 00:04:55.420 line:15%
or just call the number
on the screen right now.
106
00:04:55.420 --> 00:04:56.830 line:15%
We're waiting to take your call
107
00:04:56.830 --> 00:04:58.930 line:15%
or for your email to show up in our inbox.
108
00:04:58.930 --> 00:05:01.990 line:15%
And when you reach out
to us, I'm asking you
109
00:05:01.990 --> 00:05:04.330 line:15%
to please let us know how to pray for you.
110
00:05:04.330 --> 00:05:05.380 line:15%
If you've ever called us
111
00:05:05.380 --> 00:05:07.120 line:15%
before, you know that's hard
112
00:05:07.120 --> 00:05:09.640 line:15%
to get away from us
without being prayed for.
113
00:05:09.640 --> 00:05:12.100 line:15%
We really believe in the power of prayer.
114
00:05:12.100 --> 00:05:14.350 line:15%
And if there's anything
you're dealing with
115
00:05:14.350 --> 00:05:16.540 line:15%
and you just wish there
was somebody who would pray
116
00:05:16.540 --> 00:05:20.200 line:15%
with you, well here we are,
call us or send us an email
117
00:05:20.200 --> 00:05:21.880 line:15%
and we will pray with you
118
00:05:21.880 --> 00:05:25.120 line:15%
and we're waiting to
hear from you right now.
119
00:05:25.120 --> 00:05:27.520 line:15%
But before I get into today's teaching,
120
00:05:27.520 --> 00:05:31.150 line:15%
I wanna tell you something about my wonderful wife Denise.
121
00:05:31.150 --> 00:05:33.640 line:15%
Denise and I have been married 4 decades.
122
00:05:33.640 --> 00:05:36.010 line:15%
She is the most important
partner in my life
123
00:05:36.010 --> 00:05:37.990 line:15%
and I'm so thankful for my wife,
124
00:05:37.990 --> 00:05:40.090 line:15%
but I don't just respect her as my wife.
125
00:05:40.090 --> 00:05:44.320 line:15%
Denise is a really substantial
minister of the gospel,
126
00:05:44.320 --> 00:05:46.600 line:15%
and she has a women's ministry
127
00:05:46.600 --> 00:05:50.140
that literally impacts
thousands upon thousands
128
00:05:50.140 --> 00:05:53.860
of women. Here in the former
Soviet Union where we live,
129
00:05:53.860 --> 00:05:57.830
Denise has a group of about 50,000 women
130
00:05:57.830 --> 00:06:00.890 line:15%
who participate in her online ministry
131
00:06:00.890 --> 00:06:02.780 line:15%
where she teaches her Cinderella book
132
00:06:02.780 --> 00:06:05.060 line:15%
and how to be a successful wife.
133
00:06:05.060 --> 00:06:07.880 line:15%
And she has hundreds of
volunteers that work with her.
134
00:06:07.880 --> 00:06:11.090
Plus she conducts massive
meetings in this part
135
00:06:11.090 --> 00:06:14.330 line:15%
of the world, equipping
women how to be all
136
00:06:14.330 --> 00:06:16.520 line:15%
that God has called them to be.
137
00:06:16.520 --> 00:06:20.000 line:15%
And when we're in the United States, Denise travels with me.
138
00:06:20.000 --> 00:06:22.910 line:15%
She ministers in music, she ministers in healing,
139
00:06:22.910 --> 00:06:25.700 line:15%
and she holds her own meetings as well.
140
00:06:25.700 --> 00:06:27.710 line:15%
And I'm just so proud of Denise.
141
00:06:27.710 --> 00:06:30.980 line:15%
And today I wanted to tell
you about Denise's ministry.
142
00:06:30.980 --> 00:06:34.280 line:15%
It is thriving, it is literally blossoming
143
00:06:34.280 --> 00:06:37.790 line:15%
and tens of thousands of
women are being touched.
144
00:06:37.790 --> 00:06:39.860 line:15%
And the reason Denise is able
145
00:06:39.860 --> 00:06:42.290 line:15%
to do this life-changing ministry is
146
00:06:42.290 --> 00:06:45.980 line:15%
because of our partners. Our partners foot the bill
147
00:06:45.980 --> 00:06:48.110
with their gifts and with their offerings.
148
00:06:48.110 --> 00:06:51.535 line:15%
And I wanna say "thank you" partners for everything
149
00:06:51.535 --> 00:06:53.360 line:15%
that you do together.
150
00:06:53.360 --> 00:06:57.320 line:15%
We're really making a difference in the lives of many people
151
00:06:57.320 --> 00:06:59.750 line:15%
and we're so thankful to God for you.
152
00:06:59.750 --> 00:07:02.000 line:15%
And if you're not already
a partner today, I ask you
153
00:07:02.000 --> 00:07:05.510 line:15%
to pray about becoming a
partner with our ministry.
154
00:07:05.510 --> 00:07:08.510 line:15%
When you become a partner,
you join hands with us
155
00:07:08.510 --> 00:07:10.130 line:15%
to see lives changed,
156
00:07:10.130 --> 00:07:12.200 line:15%
and the moment you become
a partner, we're going
157
00:07:12.200 --> 00:07:14.930 line:15%
to send you two books as
our way of saying "Welcome
158
00:07:14.930 --> 00:07:16.160 line:15%
to our Partner Family".
159
00:07:16.160 --> 00:07:17.750 line:15%
We're going to send you my book,
160
00:07:17.750 --> 00:07:20.150 line:15%
which is called, Life in the Combat Zone.
161
00:07:20.150 --> 00:07:22.310 line:15%
And I'm not prophesying a combat zone to you -
162
00:07:22.310 --> 00:07:23.960 line:15%
you're probably already in one.
163
00:07:23.960 --> 00:07:26.180 line:15%
This book will help you get through it.
164
00:07:26.180 --> 00:07:28.640 line:15%
And we're gonna send you
Denise's book called, The Gift
165
00:07:28.640 --> 00:07:29.840 line:15%
of Forgiveness.
166
00:07:29.840 --> 00:07:31.820 line:15%
We believe these two
books are so important
167
00:07:31.820 --> 00:07:34.250 line:15%
that we want every partner to have them.
168
00:07:34.250 --> 00:07:35.780 line:15%
So the moment you become a partner,
169
00:07:35.780 --> 00:07:38.510 line:15%
we're gonna get these in
the mail to you as our way
170
00:07:38.510 --> 00:07:40.910 line:15%
of saying "Welcome to our Family."
171
00:07:40.910 --> 00:07:43.040
But hey, reach for your Bible.
172
00:07:43.040 --> 00:07:46.010
And today we're gonna return
to our series called, How
173
00:07:46.010 --> 00:07:49.160
to Float on a Sea of Destruction In the Last Days.
174
00:07:49.160 --> 00:07:51.110
We always use the Bible in this program,
175
00:07:51.110 --> 00:07:53.600
and by the way, we're
believing for a revival
176
00:07:53.600 --> 00:07:56.960
of the Bible in the church: say - Amen.
177
00:07:56.960 --> 00:07:59.300 line:15%
But today I want to talk to you about
178
00:07:59.300 --> 00:08:04.300 line:15%
what will happen if you obey
what God is telling you to do.
179
00:08:04.640 --> 00:08:06.320 line:15%
We've already covered
the fact that you need
180
00:08:06.320 --> 00:08:08.630 line:15%
to receive divine instructions
181
00:08:08.630 --> 00:08:10.850 line:15%
and for you to receive
those instructions, you have
182
00:08:10.850 --> 00:08:13.100 line:15%
to have ears to hear.
183
00:08:13.100 --> 00:08:15.380
That's what we covered
in the previous program.
184
00:08:15.380 --> 00:08:18.050
If you didn't hear that,
please go back to the archives
185
00:08:18.050 --> 00:08:21.860
or order the series so you'll
know how to have ears to hear
186
00:08:21.860 --> 00:08:23.960
what God is wanting to say to you.
187
00:08:23.960 --> 00:08:26.420
But once you hear what God has to say,
188
00:08:26.420 --> 00:08:31.070
then you have a choice
to obey or to disobey.
189
00:08:31.070 --> 00:08:33.200
You know, when God first called my family
190
00:08:33.200 --> 00:08:37.130
and I to the former Soviet
Union, I was the only one
191
00:08:37.130 --> 00:08:39.980
that knew that God had spoken
and I didn't tell anybody
192
00:08:39.980 --> 00:08:42.230 line:15%
because I wasn't so sure
I was going to obey.
193
00:08:43.160 --> 00:08:45.920 line:15%
Denise and I were enjoying
our life in the United States.
194
00:08:45.920 --> 00:08:47.840 line:15%
We had just moved into a beautiful home
195
00:08:47.840 --> 00:08:50.210 line:15%
and we were just enjoying ourselves.
196
00:08:50.210 --> 00:08:51.590 line:15%
And then God spoke
197
00:08:51.590 --> 00:08:56.340
and said, Hey, we're gonna have a major detour in your life.
198
00:08:56.340 --> 00:08:58.680
I'm gonna lead you in another direction.
199
00:08:58.680 --> 00:09:01.620
I'm going to lead you to
the former Soviet Union.
200
00:09:01.620 --> 00:09:04.050
But guess what? At that
time it wasn't former,
201
00:09:04.050 --> 00:09:07.050
it was still the Soviet Union.
202
00:09:07.050 --> 00:09:10.170
Well, who in their right
mind would move their family
203
00:09:10.170 --> 00:09:11.520
to the Soviet Union?
204
00:09:11.520 --> 00:09:14.220
And in fact, in the time when
God was calling us there,
205
00:09:14.220 --> 00:09:16.230
people in the Soviet Union
were trying to get out
206
00:09:16.230 --> 00:09:17.580
of the Soviet Union.
207
00:09:17.580 --> 00:09:20.220
And God was telling me
to move my family there.
208
00:09:20.220 --> 00:09:22.860
And I have to tell you that
it took me a while to come
209
00:09:22.860 --> 00:09:26.040
around and I debated, am I really gonna do
210
00:09:26.040 --> 00:09:28.140
what the Lord is telling me to do?
211
00:09:28.140 --> 00:09:29.610
And one day I said to the Lord,
212
00:09:29.610 --> 00:09:32.850
what will happen if I obey you?
213
00:09:32.850 --> 00:09:35.910
And I was thinking,
what about my ministry?
214
00:09:35.910 --> 00:09:37.440
What about our books?
215
00:09:37.440 --> 00:09:40.650
All of our meetings, everything is growing and thriving,
216
00:09:40.650 --> 00:09:43.590
and if I obey you, what's going to happen
217
00:09:43.590 --> 00:09:45.000
to all these blessings
218
00:09:45.000 --> 00:09:48.600
and all this success
which we are experiencing?
219
00:09:48.600 --> 00:09:51.840
And I heard the Holy Spirit ask me a question -
220
00:09:51.840 --> 00:09:56.580
"And what will you miss if you don't obey me?"
221
00:09:57.780 --> 00:10:01.530
What will you miss if you don't obey me?
222
00:10:03.150 --> 00:10:05.250
And now, rather than thinking
about what I was going
223
00:10:05.250 --> 00:10:09.930 line:15%
to be losing, I begin to think
about what I would be missing
224
00:10:09.930 --> 00:10:11.820 line:15%
if I didn't obey.
225
00:10:11.820 --> 00:10:14.130 line:15%
And you know, if I had
not obeyed the Lord,
226
00:10:14.130 --> 00:10:15.810 line:15%
we could have continued our ministry.
227
00:10:15.810 --> 00:10:19.860 line:15%
And I would've always
wondered, Hmm, I wonder
228
00:10:19.860 --> 00:10:24.090
what would've happened if I had said yes.
229
00:10:24.090 --> 00:10:28.080
I wonder what we would've
experienced if I had said yes,
230
00:10:28.080 --> 00:10:30.450
I would've lived with
that question to the end
231
00:10:30.450 --> 00:10:32.100
of my life and my friends,
232
00:10:32.100 --> 00:10:34.710
I could not live with that question.
233
00:10:34.710 --> 00:10:37.710
So I find myself finally getting into alignment with God
234
00:10:37.710 --> 00:10:40.770
and saying, yes, Lord, I'm going to do what you've asked me
235
00:10:40.770 --> 00:10:44.010
to do. And my friends, because we obeyed,
236
00:10:44.910 --> 00:10:47.130
we have seen the power of God move in this part
237
00:10:47.130 --> 00:10:48.420
of the world through our ministry.
238
00:10:48.420 --> 00:10:50.310
He's moved through many ministries,
239
00:10:50.310 --> 00:10:52.350
but I'm telling you
about what we have seen.
240
00:10:52.350 --> 00:10:54.660
And our children never missed a thing.
241
00:10:54.660 --> 00:10:57.960
Our children grew up in
the living book of Acts.
242
00:10:57.960 --> 00:11:00.000
They don't just read the
book of Acts as history.
243
00:11:00.000 --> 00:11:01.290
They have seen the Book of Acts.
244
00:11:01.290 --> 00:11:03.030
They have experienced the Book of Acts.
245
00:11:03.030 --> 00:11:06.600
And my friends, if I had not said yes,
246
00:11:07.800 --> 00:11:11.340
I wouldn't be a seated in
this chair in a TV studio in
247
00:11:11.340 --> 00:11:13.530
Moscow speaking to you.
248
00:11:13.530 --> 00:11:15.750
We wouldn't have seen all
the churches established
249
00:11:15.750 --> 00:11:18.600
and the pastor's lives
strengthened in the many,
250
00:11:18.600 --> 00:11:20.040
many people that have come to the Lord.
251
00:11:20.040 --> 00:11:21.780
We wouldn't have seen any of it.
252
00:11:21.780 --> 00:11:25.290 line:15%
I would still be in the United
States saying - "Gee, I wonder
253
00:11:25.290 --> 00:11:29.160 line:15%
what would've happened if I had said yes?"
254
00:11:29.160 --> 00:11:30.840 line:15%
And my friends, I'm telling you today,
255
00:11:30.840 --> 00:11:33.390 line:15%
you cannot live without question.
256
00:11:33.390 --> 00:11:37.320 line:15%
What if Noah had said no when
God told him to build the ark?
257
00:11:38.340 --> 00:11:40.140 line:15%
What if he had said no?
258
00:11:40.140 --> 00:11:42.630 line:15%
Well, my friends, we
wouldn't be here today
259
00:11:42.630 --> 00:11:46.500
if Noah had said no, but he
had an opportunity to say no.
260
00:11:46.500 --> 00:11:49.680
He knew the cost that
would be involved For him
261
00:11:49.680 --> 00:11:53.980
to construct the largest ship
ever constructed, a project
262
00:11:53.980 --> 00:11:56.560
that took 100 years.
263
00:11:56.560 --> 00:11:59.470
He knew that he would
be the brunt of society.
264
00:11:59.470 --> 00:12:02.170
People would laugh at him,
they would tell Noah jokes
265
00:12:02.170 --> 00:12:05.890
as he built year after
year after year after year.
266
00:12:05.890 --> 00:12:09.370
And I would imagine there were
some really funny Noah jokes
267
00:12:09.370 --> 00:12:11.560
that were told back in those days.
268
00:12:11.560 --> 00:12:13.840
He had to convince his
wife to obey, he had
269
00:12:13.840 --> 00:12:15.460
to convince his kids to obey.
270
00:12:15.460 --> 00:12:16.930 line:15%
And he could have said, you know what?
271
00:12:16.930 --> 00:12:20.200 line:15%
This is gonna take a lot of
money to build this big boat.
272
00:12:20.200 --> 00:12:22.660 line:15%
This is just too big a task for me.
273
00:12:22.660 --> 00:12:24.430 line:15%
And he could have said "No" -
274
00:12:24.430 --> 00:12:28.570
but my friends - if you obey, if you obey,
275
00:12:28.570 --> 00:12:31.840
you will step into the thriving will of God
276
00:12:31.840 --> 00:12:34.090
for your life.
277
00:12:34.090 --> 00:12:38.200
And God is calling on you
to obey the instructions
278
00:12:38.200 --> 00:12:39.520
that he's giving you.
279
00:12:39.520 --> 00:12:43.210
But today we're gonna return to Genesis 7:
280
00:12:43.210 --> 00:12:45.640 line:15%
16, where the Bible says -
281
00:12:45.640 --> 00:12:48.190 line:15%
And they that went in went in male
282
00:12:48.190 --> 00:12:52.690 line:15%
and female of all flesh
as God commanded him
283
00:12:52.690 --> 00:12:56.320 line:15%
and the Lord shut him in. Verse 17:
284
00:12:56.320 --> 00:12:58.510 line:15%
And the flood was 40 days upon the earth
285
00:12:58.510 --> 00:13:01.840 line:15%
and the waters increased and bear up the ark.
286
00:13:01.840 --> 00:13:05.715 line:15%
There it is. The same waters that destroyed everything else,
287
00:13:05.715 --> 00:13:08.530 line:15%
caused Noah and his family to rise higher
288
00:13:08.530 --> 00:13:09.580 line:15%
and higher and higher.
289
00:13:09.580 --> 00:13:13.270 line:15%
And it was lifted up above the whole earth.
290
00:13:13.270 --> 00:13:17.470 line:15%
And Noah and his family literally floated on the waters
291
00:13:17.470 --> 00:13:21.370 line:15%
of destruction because they obeyed -
292
00:13:21.370 --> 00:13:25.090 line:15%
they obeyed. In Isaiah 1:19, we are told -
293
00:13:26.530 --> 00:13:28.450 line:15%
If you're willing and obedient,
294
00:13:28.450 --> 00:13:31.120 line:15%
you will eat the good of the land.
295
00:13:31.120 --> 00:13:34.480 line:15%
That is a divine promise.
But notice there's two parts.
296
00:13:34.480 --> 00:13:35.710 line:15%
You've got to be willing
297
00:13:35.710 --> 00:13:38.260
and you've gotta follow through: if you be willing
298
00:13:38.260 --> 00:13:39.280
and obedient.
299
00:13:39.280 --> 00:13:42.190
Some people have a willingness
and then they fall short.
300
00:13:42.190 --> 00:13:44.110
They don't do what
they've been told to do.
301
00:13:44.110 --> 00:13:45.880
But this verse says, if you're willing
302
00:13:45.880 --> 00:13:50.350
and obedient, here's the guarantee - you will eat the good
303
00:13:50.350 --> 00:13:52.810 line:15%
of the land.
304
00:13:52.810 --> 00:13:57.010 line:15%
And when we come to Hebrews 11:7, we find
305
00:13:57.010 --> 00:13:59.440 line:15%
that Noah was really obedient to
306
00:13:59.440 --> 00:14:01.120 line:15%
what God had instructed him.
307
00:14:01.120 --> 00:14:04.630
Listen to this verse: Hebrews 11:7 says -
308
00:14:04.630 --> 00:14:07.210 line:15%
By faith, Noah - by the way -
309
00:14:07.210 --> 00:14:10.180
the word, faith, here describes a faith that is unbendable,
310
00:14:10.180 --> 00:14:13.270
unbreakable, unshakeable, unmoving:
311
00:14:13.270 --> 00:14:15.730
by this unbendable, unbreakable faith,
312
00:14:15.730 --> 00:14:17.740
Noah was in his place of faith.
313
00:14:17.740 --> 00:14:21.490 line:15%
He knew he had his assignment - being warned of God
314
00:14:21.490 --> 00:14:24.700 line:15%
of things not seen as
yet, and moved with fear
315
00:14:24.700 --> 00:14:27.730 line:15%
and prepared an ark to
the saving of his house.
316
00:14:27.730 --> 00:14:30.190
But notice again, it says being warned.
317
00:14:30.190 --> 00:14:32.080
Now, we've covered this
in a previous program,
318
00:14:32.080 --> 00:14:33.580
but let's look at it again.
319
00:14:33.580 --> 00:14:36.550 line:15%
Being warned - in Greek is the word chrematidzo,
320
00:14:36.550 --> 00:14:39.280 line:15%
which describes a business transaction.
321
00:14:39.280 --> 00:14:41.230 line:15%
And really it describes the relationship
322
00:14:41.230 --> 00:14:42.730 line:15%
that Noah had with God.
323
00:14:42.730 --> 00:14:46.180 line:15%
His relationship with God
was very businesslike.
324
00:14:46.180 --> 00:14:49.240 line:15%
This word, being warned, also means to advise
325
00:14:49.240 --> 00:14:53.210 line:15%
or to consult with one about an important affair. In this
326
00:14:53.210 --> 00:14:56.870 line:15%
case, to be advised and consulted by God.
327
00:14:56.870 --> 00:14:59.630 line:15%
And literally it means
being divinely advised,
328
00:14:59.630 --> 00:15:01.280 line:15%
divinely consulted,
329
00:15:01.280 --> 00:15:06.280 line:15%
and divinely warned of
things not seen as yet.
330
00:15:06.410 --> 00:15:10.400
Well, the Greek says not
yet, not ever before seen.
331
00:15:10.400 --> 00:15:11.900
So when God advised
332
00:15:11.900 --> 00:15:15.440
and consulted Noah
about a worldwide flood,
333
00:15:15.440 --> 00:15:16.790
no one had ever heard
334
00:15:16.790 --> 00:15:19.580
of a worldwide flood. Prior to the flood,
335
00:15:19.580 --> 00:15:21.770
we're told in Genesis 2:6
336
00:15:21.770 --> 00:15:24.950
that there was a mist which
arose from the earth every
337
00:15:24.950 --> 00:15:27.530
morning which watered the vegetation of the earth.
338
00:15:27.530 --> 00:15:30.800
There had never even been rain until that time.
339
00:15:30.800 --> 00:15:33.110
So when God told Noah
that a flood was coming
340
00:15:33.110 --> 00:15:35.090
and rain was going to
pour outta the heavens,
341
00:15:35.090 --> 00:15:37.370
no one had ever seen
rain or heard of rain.
342
00:15:37.370 --> 00:15:38.990
Noah didn't even know what that was,
343
00:15:38.990 --> 00:15:41.210
but yet he was hearing this from God.
344
00:15:41.210 --> 00:15:44.570
And God told him to build an ark that was going
345
00:15:44.570 --> 00:15:46.520
to take a hundred years to build.
346
00:15:46.520 --> 00:15:51.080
It was going to require magnificent resources, so much money
347
00:15:51.080 --> 00:15:53.210
to build a ship that size
348
00:15:53.210 --> 00:15:56.660
and then to collect two
animals of every kind
349
00:15:56.660 --> 00:16:00.650
and to gather food for all
the animals and for his family
350
00:16:00.650 --> 00:16:02.870
and to bring enough weapons
351
00:16:02.870 --> 00:16:05.420
and tools onto the ark that
when they finally landed,
352
00:16:05.420 --> 00:16:07.760
they could start all over again.
353
00:16:07.760 --> 00:16:12.620
And my friends, these were
amazing tasks which God was
354
00:16:12.620 --> 00:16:15.350
giving to Noah and to his family.
355
00:16:15.350 --> 00:16:16.970
And he could have said - You know what?
356
00:16:16.970 --> 00:16:18.860
This is just too big a job for me -
357
00:16:18.860 --> 00:16:22.970 line:15%
but instead, Hebrews 11:7 says - He moved
358
00:16:22.970 --> 00:16:24.230 line:15%
with fear.
359
00:16:24.230 --> 00:16:28.070 line:15%
And the Greek word here means - to do something cautiously
360
00:16:28.070 --> 00:16:30.260 line:15%
and to take action urgently
361
00:16:30.260 --> 00:16:32.240 line:15%
and seriously.
362
00:16:32.240 --> 00:16:36.890
Noah understood God was giving
him a very important task
363
00:16:36.890 --> 00:16:39.080
and he had a sense of awe
364
00:16:39.080 --> 00:16:42.020
and he had a sense of
responsibility that caused him
365
00:16:42.020 --> 00:16:43.550
to move forward very quickly
366
00:16:43.550 --> 00:16:46.310
and urgently to do what
God was asking him to do.
367
00:16:46.310 --> 00:16:48.590
And he prepared an ark.
368
00:16:48.590 --> 00:16:51.170
And the word - prepared - in Greek is very interesting.
369
00:16:51.170 --> 00:16:53.450 line:15%
It is the word kataskeuadzo.
370
00:16:53.450 --> 00:16:55.220 line:15%
It's a compound of two words: the word kata,
371
00:16:55.220 --> 00:16:56.330 line:15%
which means down,
372
00:16:56.330 --> 00:16:58.580 line:15%
and it carries the idea of intensity:
373
00:16:58.580 --> 00:17:00.680 line:15%
and the word, skeuadzo, which means to build.
374
00:17:00.680 --> 00:17:03.020 line:15%
When you put the 2-words together, it's not just to build,
375
00:17:03.020 --> 00:17:05.510 line:15%
but it's putting intensity into it.
376
00:17:05.510 --> 00:17:07.460
It carries the idea of great effort,
377
00:17:07.460 --> 00:17:10.040
which means when Noah
began to build that ark,
378
00:17:10.040 --> 00:17:14.600
he put everything he had into
the construction of the ark:
379
00:17:14.600 --> 00:17:17.510
building it exactly according to the plan
380
00:17:17.510 --> 00:17:19.130
that God had given him.
381
00:17:19.130 --> 00:17:20.810
And notice the word ark.
382
00:17:20.810 --> 00:17:24.200 line:15%
The word, ark, that is used here depicts a large ship
383
00:17:24.200 --> 00:17:27.380 line:15%
structure constructed of wood: a place designed
384
00:17:27.380 --> 00:17:29.300 line:15%
for warehousing and saving,
385
00:17:29.300 --> 00:17:33.110 line:15%
and it is the same word used in Exodus 2:
386
00:17:33.110 --> 00:17:34.580 line:15%
3, which was written
387
00:17:34.580 --> 00:17:38.480
by Moses when Moses was recording the story
388
00:17:38.480 --> 00:17:39.560
of his own birth.
389
00:17:39.560 --> 00:17:41.990
And when he was born, to save his life,
390
00:17:41.990 --> 00:17:45.860
his mother put him into an ark of bulrushes.
391
00:17:45.860 --> 00:17:48.500
Do you remember that? And she shoved it out into the river
392
00:17:48.500 --> 00:17:50.880
Nile, trusting that the currents
393
00:17:50.880 --> 00:17:54.990
of the Nile would carry Moses to a place of safety
394
00:17:54.990 --> 00:17:56.460
and deliverance.
395
00:17:57.510 --> 00:18:01.200
Moses knew that. And now when
Moses is describing the ark,
396
00:18:01.200 --> 00:18:04.230
he uses the same word, which means, Noah knew
397
00:18:04.230 --> 00:18:07.920
that ultimately God was
going to have to be the one
398
00:18:07.920 --> 00:18:10.170
who would carry the ark
in the right currents
399
00:18:10.170 --> 00:18:11.280
to the right location.
400
00:18:11.280 --> 00:18:13.500
All of that is in this word ark.
401
00:18:13.500 --> 00:18:16.890
But notice he did it for the saving of his house.
402
00:18:16.890 --> 00:18:18.930
And the Greek would be better translated -
403
00:18:18.930 --> 00:18:23.640 line:15%
for the explicit purpose of saving his own household.
404
00:18:23.640 --> 00:18:27.360
That is amazing. But then let's go to Genesis 6:13.
405
00:18:27.360 --> 00:18:30.510 line:15%
And God said to Noah, the end of all flesh has come
406
00:18:30.510 --> 00:18:32.550 line:15%
before me, for the earth is filled with violence
407
00:18:32.550 --> 00:18:34.800 line:15%
through them, and behold, I will destroy
408
00:18:34.800 --> 00:18:36.210 line:15%
them with the earth.
409
00:18:36.210 --> 00:18:38.520 line:15%
Verse 14: Make thee an ark
410
00:18:38.520 --> 00:18:41.430 line:15%
of gopher wood: room shalt
thou make in the ark
411
00:18:41.430 --> 00:18:43.050 line:15%
and pitch it within and without with pitch -
412
00:18:43.050 --> 00:18:45.420 line:15%
verse 15 - And this is the fashion
413
00:18:45.420 --> 00:18:47.610 line:15%
with which thou shalt make it. God begin
414
00:18:47.610 --> 00:18:50.490 line:15%
to give him very clear instructions.
415
00:18:50.490 --> 00:18:54.150 line:15%
And finally, when we come to Genesis 5:22, it says
416
00:18:54.150 --> 00:18:58.020 line:15%
Thus did Noah, according to all
417
00:18:58.020 --> 00:18:59.940 line:15%
that God commanded him,
418
00:18:59.940 --> 00:19:02.460 line:15%
so did he. That is amazing.
419
00:19:02.460 --> 00:19:04.290
Then you come to Genesis 7:
420
00:19:04.290 --> 00:19:06.300
1, and it continues -
421
00:19:06.300 --> 00:19:08.670 line:15%
And the Lord said unto him, Noah,
422
00:19:08.670 --> 00:19:11.430 line:15%
come thou all thy house into the ark.
423
00:19:11.430 --> 00:19:12.990 line:15%
and then we read in verse 2 -
424
00:19:12.990 --> 00:19:15.990 line:15%
And Noah did according unto all
425
00:19:15.990 --> 00:19:18.750 line:15%
that the Lord commanded him.
426
00:19:18.750 --> 00:19:21.870 line:15%
Wow! Noah was obedient to
427
00:19:21.870 --> 00:19:24.090 line:15%
what God asked him to do.
428
00:19:24.090 --> 00:19:25.800
And you read it over and over
429
00:19:25.800 --> 00:19:28.950
and over in Genesis 6, Genesis 7,
430
00:19:28.950 --> 00:19:33.810
Genesis 9, even Genesis 8,
431
00:19:33.810 --> 00:19:37.560
that Noah did exactly
what God asked him to do.
432
00:19:37.560 --> 00:19:40.230 line:15%
Noah and his family were careful to obey.
433
00:19:40.230 --> 00:19:43.470 line:15%
If they had not fully obeyed,
they would've been lost
434
00:19:43.470 --> 00:19:44.640 line:15%
with everyone else.
435
00:19:45.630 --> 00:19:49.830
And it makes me want to ask you today: Are you fully obeying
436
00:19:49.830 --> 00:19:52.050
what the Holy Spirit has instructed you to do?
437
00:19:52.050 --> 00:19:54.960
You have ears to hear now
you've heard him speak to you.
438
00:19:54.960 --> 00:19:58.170
Are you obeying what he has asked you to do?
439
00:19:58.170 --> 00:19:59.820
In these last days,
440
00:19:59.820 --> 00:20:02.250
if we're gonna float on a sea of destruction,
441
00:20:02.250 --> 00:20:04.530
it is absolutely essential,
442
00:20:04.530 --> 00:20:06.360
not that we just have ears to hear
443
00:20:06.360 --> 00:20:08.040
and that we hear instructions,
444
00:20:08.040 --> 00:20:11.550
but that we do what
God is asking us to do.
445
00:20:11.550 --> 00:20:12.750
We have to determine
446
00:20:12.750 --> 00:20:17.520
to fully obey whatever the
Lord is telling us to do.
447
00:20:17.520 --> 00:20:21.300
And according to Isaiah 1:19 - If you are willing
448
00:20:21.300 --> 00:20:23.850 line:15%
and obedient, you'll eat the good of the land.
449
00:20:23.850 --> 00:20:26.670 line:15%
And just like Noah, if you're willing
450
00:20:26.670 --> 00:20:29.430
and if you're obedient, you can float on a sea
451
00:20:29.430 --> 00:20:32.700
of destruction in these last days.
452
00:20:32.700 --> 00:20:34.470
I'll be back in just a few moments
453
00:20:34.470 --> 00:20:35.550
and I'm going to pray for you.
454
00:20:43.530 --> 00:20:45.750
This is Rick Renner, and somebody has asked the question -
455
00:20:45.750 --> 00:20:48.460 line:15%
How do I stop badgering myself
456
00:20:48.460 --> 00:20:50.800 line:15%
and how do I forgive myself for sins
457
00:20:50.800 --> 00:20:53.140 line:15%
that I committed in the past?
458
00:20:53.140 --> 00:20:57.010 line:15%
Well listen to what the Bible says in Psalm 103:12 -
459
00:20:57.010 --> 00:21:00.490 line:15%
As far as the east is from the west, so far
460
00:21:00.490 --> 00:21:04.510 line:15%
hath he removed our transgressions from us.
461
00:21:04.510 --> 00:21:07.720 line:15%
My friends, God does not drag up sins
462
00:21:07.720 --> 00:21:09.850 line:15%
that you've already been forgiven for.
463
00:21:10.900 --> 00:21:13.630 line:15%
He's forgiven it. He's released you from it.
464
00:21:13.630 --> 00:21:16.300 line:15%
And do you know the word forgiveness: In Greek really
465
00:21:16.300 --> 00:21:17.770
means - let it go.
466
00:21:17.770 --> 00:21:19.840 line:15%
And you have to come to a place
467
00:21:19.840 --> 00:21:22.690 line:15%
where you quit badgering
yourself and judging yourself
468
00:21:22.690 --> 00:21:25.420 line:15%
and condemning yourself for past mistakes.
469
00:21:25.420 --> 00:21:27.190 line:15%
And you need to say, you know what?
470
00:21:27.190 --> 00:21:29.170 line:15%
If God has removed my sins as far
471
00:21:29.170 --> 00:21:32.350 line:15%
as the east is from the
west, then it's time for me
472
00:21:32.350 --> 00:21:34.810 line:15%
to forgive myself and to let it go.
473
00:21:34.810 --> 00:21:37.930 line:15%
There's nothing I can do about
my past anyway except for ask
474
00:21:37.930 --> 00:21:40.450 line:15%
for forgiveness, which I've already done.
475
00:21:40.450 --> 00:21:43.060 line:15%
So now I'm gonna move on.
476
00:21:43.060 --> 00:21:46.300 line:15%
And my friends, that is
my encouragement to you.
477
00:21:46.300 --> 00:21:49.000 line:15%
It seems we are surrounded
by the swirling currents
478
00:21:49.000 --> 00:21:52.150 line:15%
of destruction. In a world that has gone astray,
479
00:21:52.150 --> 00:21:55.420 line:15%
many feel besieged by
these tempestuous times
480
00:21:55.420 --> 00:21:57.520 line:15%
and worry about their loved ones, praying
481
00:21:57.520 --> 00:22:00.760 line:15%
that they will somehow
survive the fluctuating tides.
482
00:22:00.760 --> 00:22:04.030 line:15%
Noah and his family faced
insurmountable challenges,
483
00:22:04.030 --> 00:22:06.820 line:15%
but God showed Noah
concrete steps to ensure he
484
00:22:06.820 --> 00:22:09.370 line:15%
and his family could
rise above the confusion
485
00:22:09.370 --> 00:22:12.400
and float on a raging sea of destruction.
486
00:22:12.400 --> 00:22:14.410 line:15%
In this series, How To Float On a Sea
487

This is Rick Renner, and
today I'm in the Tulsa office
514
00:23:22.240 --> 00:23:25.540
and this is another part
of our new TV studio.
515
00:23:25.540 --> 00:23:28.360
This is where Denise
is filming TV programs
516
00:23:28.360 --> 00:23:31.720
and how wonderful the now we
have two little studios, one
517
00:23:31.720 --> 00:23:35.860 line:15%
for her and one for me where
we can interview guests
518
00:23:35.860 --> 00:23:37.300 line:15%
who can't come all the way to Russia
519
00:23:37.300 --> 00:23:39.280 line:15%
to be interviewed in our studio there.
520
00:23:39.280 --> 00:23:41.200 line:15%
So when we're in the United States,
521
00:23:41.200 --> 00:23:42.940 line:15%
we can interview them here.
522
00:23:42.940 --> 00:23:45.560 line:15%
And that's what we've been doing all week
523
00:23:45.560 --> 00:23:48.890
in this wonderful
facility, which God gave us
524
00:23:48.890 --> 00:23:50.360
in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
525
00:23:50.360 --> 00:23:52.820
We're so grateful for this building.
526
00:23:52.820 --> 00:23:54.470
It was really a gift from the Lord
527
00:23:54.470 --> 00:23:59.450
and it's almost paid for. We've already retired 86%
528
00:23:59.450 --> 00:24:01.190 line:15%
of the debt.
529
00:24:01.190 --> 00:24:03.380 line:15%
We just need to go a
little ways to finish this.
530
00:24:03.380 --> 00:24:06.560 line:15%
We call it the Ministry Expansion Project
531
00:24:06.560 --> 00:24:08.930
because when this is finished, it's going
532
00:24:08.930 --> 00:24:12.410 line:15%
to allow the ministry to
really expand financially,
533
00:24:12.410 --> 00:24:14.840 line:15%
to wrap our arms around the whole world
534
00:24:14.840 --> 00:24:18.200 line:15%
where people need the trusted
teaching of the Bible.
535
00:24:18.200 --> 00:24:20.360 line:15%
And we know that's our calling.
536
00:24:20.360 --> 00:24:22.490 line:15%
And if you're part of the Giving Team, I want
537
00:24:22.490 --> 00:24:23.900 line:15%
to say "thank you" for helping us
538
00:24:23.900 --> 00:24:25.700 line:15%
to retire the dept on this facility
539
00:24:25.700 --> 00:24:27.950 line:15%
and to release those finances.
540
00:24:27.950 --> 00:24:29.660 line:15%
And if you're not a part
of the Giving Team yet,
541
00:24:29.660 --> 00:24:32.180 line:15%
I'm inviting you today to join us
542
00:24:32.180 --> 00:24:35.090 line:15%
to help us finish this project.
543
00:24:35.090 --> 00:24:38.300 line:15%
Wow, what a shalt, a victory
we're gonna give to God on
544
00:24:38.300 --> 00:24:40.190 line:15%
that day when it's done,
545
00:24:40.190 --> 00:24:42.920 line:15%
and just think of the people
that are going to be reached.
546
00:24:42.920 --> 00:24:45.110 line:15%
So thank you for being a part
547
00:24:45.110 --> 00:24:47.030 line:15%
of the Ministry Expansion Project.
548
00:24:52.760 --> 00:24:55.310
Well, today we have covered
a lot of information
549
00:24:55.310 --> 00:24:58.760
and revelation, but we still
have so much more to cover
550
00:24:58.760 --> 00:25:00.950
and this is where we're
going to pick up tomorrow.
551
00:25:00.950 --> 00:25:02.600
But please go online
552
00:25:02.600 --> 00:25:05.450 line:15%
or give us a call to order your series which is called, How
553
00:25:05.450 --> 00:25:08.840 line:15%
to Float on a Sea of Destruction in the Last Days.
554
00:25:08.840 --> 00:25:10.220 line:15%
You Can Do It.
555
00:25:10.220 --> 00:25:11.720 line:15%
And my friends, the very fact
556
00:25:11.720 --> 00:25:14.720 line:15%
that you're alive at this
time means God chose you
557
00:25:14.720 --> 00:25:18.110 line:15%
for this season and he's
anointed you for it.
558
00:25:18.110 --> 00:25:20.600 line:15%
But you need to know - How To Float on a Sea
559
00:25:20.600 --> 00:25:22.610 line:15%
of Destruction in the Last Days.
560
00:25:22.610 --> 00:25:25.370 line:15%
And you need the study guide
that goes with the series.
561
00:25:25.370 --> 00:25:28.460 line:15%
And I also want you to be sure to order my book
562
00:25:28.460 --> 00:25:31.160 line:15%
which is called, Last Days Survival Guide:
563
00:25:31.160 --> 00:25:33.620 line:15%
A Scriptural Handbook to prepare you
564
00:25:33.620 --> 00:25:35.305 line:15%
for these Perilous Times.
565
00:25:35.305 --> 00:25:38.030 line:15%
And here we have a picture
of boots and a Bible.
566
00:25:38.030 --> 00:25:39.950 line:15%
My friends, you gotta get
your boots and your Bible.
567
00:25:39.950 --> 00:25:42.710 line:15%
We're gonna stomp through
this age in victory
568
00:25:42.710 --> 00:25:44.750 line:15%
and in the power of the Holy Spirit.
569
00:25:44.750 --> 00:25:47.630 line:15%
And if we know the principles
that the word of God gives us,
570
00:25:47.630 --> 00:25:50.150 line:15%
we can sail through the worst of weather.
571
00:25:50.150 --> 00:25:53.060 line:15%
I'm planning to do that and you can too.
572
00:25:53.060 --> 00:25:55.790 line:15%
God has not destined us to failure.
573
00:25:55.790 --> 00:25:59.450 line:15%
He has given us everything
we need to be victorious.
574
00:25:59.450 --> 00:26:01.700 line:15%
And that means you too.
575
00:26:01.700 --> 00:26:03.620 line:15%
But hey, if you've got a prayer need,
576

00:26:12.860 --> 00:26:14.570 line:15%
But I wanna pray for you right now.

00:26:14.570 --> 00:26:16.400 line:15%
So put your hand on your heart.
583
00:26:16.400 --> 00:26:18.770 line:15%
Father, in the name of Jesus, I thank you
584
00:26:18.770 --> 00:26:21.500 line:15%
that you've given us the blood
of Jesus, the word of God,
585
00:26:21.500 --> 00:26:23.150 line:15%
the power of the Holy Spirit.
586
00:26:23.150 --> 00:26:26.120 line:15%
You've given us everything we need to sail
587
00:26:26.120 --> 00:26:28.520 line:15%
through the roughest of water.
588
00:26:28.520 --> 00:26:30.440 line:15%
We embrace everything you've given
589
00:26:30.440 --> 00:26:32.750 line:15%
to us in the wonderful name of Jesus,
590
00:26:32.750 --> 00:26:36.440 line:15%
and declare that we will float on any sea
591
00:26:36.440 --> 00:26:39.080 line:15%
of destruction we ever face in our lives.
592
00:26:39.080 --> 00:26:43.920 line:15%
In Jesus' name - Amen. Wow!
593
00:26:43.920 --> 00:26:45.450 line:15%
Well, we'll be back tomorrow.
594
00:26:45.450 --> 00:26:47.310
But until then, I want you to remember
595
00:26:47.310 --> 00:26:50.880
and never forget Ecclesiastes 8:4
596
00:26:50.880 --> 00:26:55.880
which declares "Where the word of a king is, there's power."
597
00:26:55.950 --> 00:26:58.230 line:15%
If you've never received
Jesus as your Savior
598
00:26:58.230 --> 00:27:02.610 line:15%
and Lord, now is the time for
you to experience a new life
599
00:27:02.610 --> 00:27:04.770 line:15%
Jesus has to give you.
600
00:27:04.770 --> 00:27:08.850
Pray this prayer with me right now - Lord,
601
00:27:08.850 --> 00:27:12.870
I repent of my sin and
receive you as my Savior
602
00:27:12.870 --> 00:27:15.810 line:15%
and Lord. Wash away my sin
603
00:27:15.810 --> 00:27:18.870
and make me completely new.
604
00:27:18.870 --> 00:27:22.620
I thank you that my sin is removed
605
00:27:22.620 --> 00:27:27.620
and Satan no longer has any
right to lay claim on me.
606
00:27:28.200 --> 00:27:32.190
I faithfully promise that
I will serve you as my Lord
607
00:27:32.190 --> 00:27:33.870
for the rest of my life.
608
00:27:33.870 --> 00:27:34.870 line:15%
Amen.
609
00:27:38.745 --> 00:27:41.700

prayer of salvation with us,
