00:00:01.290 --> 00:00:03.990
This program is made
possible by the giving
2
00:00:03.990 --> 00:00:08.040
of the God called partners
of Renner ministries.
3
00:00:08.040 --> 00:00:11.280
Get ready for a teaching
that feeds your spirit
4
00:00:11.280 --> 00:00:14.880
and your mind where the
word is the anchor in
5
00:00:14.880 --> 00:00:16.830
uncertain times
6
00:00:16.830 --> 00:00:20.130
and doctrine doesn't bend to culture.
7
00:00:20.130 --> 00:00:21.540
We keep it simple,
8
00:00:21.540 --> 00:00:26.130
but dive deep revealing a
truth that strengthens us,
9
00:00:27.000 --> 00:00:28.890 line:15%
a love that emboldens,
10
00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:32.190
and a mission that touches the world.
11
00:00:34.530 --> 00:00:36.000
Let's join Rick Renner.
12
00:00:38.730 --> 00:00:40.410
Welcome to today's program.
13
00:00:40.410 --> 00:00:42.000
My name is Rick Renner
14
00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:46.440
and I counted such a privilege
that you've turned on the TV
15
00:00:46.440 --> 00:00:47.460
or your device
16
00:00:47.460 --> 00:00:49.950
and you've allowed me to
come right into the space
17
00:00:49.950 --> 00:00:51.600
where you are.
18
00:00:51.600 --> 00:00:53.190
And this week I want to talk
19
00:00:53.190 --> 00:00:55.890 line:15%
to you about the Spirit-Filled Life.
20
00:00:55.890 --> 00:00:58.500 line:15%
It's something that I did not understand
21
00:00:58.500 --> 00:00:59.670 line:15%
when I was growing up.
22
00:00:59.670 --> 00:01:02.460 line:15%
Now maybe our pastor preached about it,
23
00:01:02.460 --> 00:01:03.540 line:15%
but I didn't hear it.
24
00:01:04.470 --> 00:01:06.240 line:15%
I really didn't understand anything about
25
00:01:06.240 --> 00:01:07.320 line:15%
the spirit-filled life.
26
00:01:07.320 --> 00:01:12.060
But today, the spirit-filled life is central to who I am.
27
00:01:12.060 --> 00:01:14.040
And I wanna share with you this week, many,
28
00:01:14.040 --> 00:01:17.280
many aspects about the ministry of the Holy Spirit
29
00:01:17.280 --> 00:01:18.990
and the Spirit-Filled Life.
30
00:01:18.990 --> 00:01:20.940
And I want you to order the series,
31
00:01:20.940 --> 00:01:23.610 line:15%
which is simply called the Spirit-Filled Life.
32
00:01:23.610 --> 00:01:26.610 line:15%
It is 5-parts: comes in all kinds of formats,
33
00:01:26.610 --> 00:01:29.670 line:15%
and it comes with a study
guide which has everything
34
00:01:29.670 --> 00:01:32.310 line:15%
that is in the series in the study guide
35
00:01:32.310 --> 00:01:34.350 line:15%
so you can read the material while you're seeing
36
00:01:34.350 --> 00:01:36.270 line:15%
or hearing the series.
37
00:01:36.270 --> 00:01:39.420 line:15%
And we're offering you this week my book,
38
00:01:39.420 --> 00:01:43.170 line:15%
which is called, My Spirit-Empowered Day.
39
00:01:43.170 --> 00:01:45.900 line:15%
It is a Sparkling Gems from the Greek, Guided
40
00:01:45.900 --> 00:01:47.040 line:15%
Devotional Journey.
41
00:01:47.040 --> 00:01:50.880 line:15%
It's 31 days of studying
about the ministry
42
00:01:50.880 --> 00:01:52.050 line:15%
of the Holy Spirit.
43
00:01:52.050 --> 00:01:55.980 line:15%
And if your heart cries out to
know more about the ministry
44
00:01:55.980 --> 00:01:57.900
of the Holy Spirit, you need this series
45
00:01:57.900 --> 00:01:59.370
and you need this book
46
00:01:59.370 --> 00:02:02.370
and you can order all
of it by going online.
47
00:02:02.370 --> 00:02:05.130
And I want to also remind
you that we are here
48
00:02:05.130 --> 00:02:07.020
to pray for you.
49
00:02:07.020 --> 00:02:09.780
I wanna read to you from 1st John 5:
50
00:02:09.780 --> 00:02:11.910
14 and 15.
51
00:02:11.910 --> 00:02:13.890 line:15%
And in verse 14, the Bible says,
52
00:02:13.890 --> 00:02:18.420
and this is the confidence we have in him.
53
00:02:18.420 --> 00:02:20.190
It's talking about prayer,
54
00:02:20.190 --> 00:02:23.490
which means we can be
confident when we pray.
55
00:02:23.490 --> 00:02:25.140
Well, what gives us confidence?
56
00:02:25.140 --> 00:02:26.640
Well, the verse goes on to say,
57
00:02:26.640 --> 00:02:30.720
and this is the confidence
that we have in him, that if,
58
00:02:30.720 --> 00:02:35.130
if we ask anything according to his will,
59
00:02:35.130 --> 00:02:37.950
he hears us.
60
00:02:37.950 --> 00:02:41.370
It's not our much asking that moves God.
61
00:02:41.370 --> 00:02:44.910
It's not our crying or our
pleading that moves God.
62
00:02:44.910 --> 00:02:46.380
But according to this verse,
63
00:02:46.380 --> 00:02:50.070 line:15%
it's when we ask anything
according to his will.
64
00:02:50.070 --> 00:02:52.500 line:15%
You know, people pray all kinds of things.
65
00:02:52.500 --> 00:02:54.750
Some of it is silly,
some of it's right, some
66
00:02:54.750 --> 00:02:57.750
of it's scriptural, some
of it is unscriptural.
67
00:02:57.750 --> 00:03:00.220
But when God hears his word,
68
00:03:00.220 --> 00:03:02.950
when God hears someone
praying the word of God,
69
00:03:02.950 --> 00:03:07.150
praying his will, that's what opens the ears of God to hear
70
00:03:07.150 --> 00:03:09.040
and the next verse says,
71
00:03:09.040 --> 00:03:14.040
and if we know that he hears us whatsoever, we ask,
72
00:03:14.320 --> 00:03:18.340
we know that we have the petitions that we desire of him.
73
00:03:18.340 --> 00:03:21.490
So it's very important that when we pray, we pray according
74
00:03:21.490 --> 00:03:25.000
to his will or we pray scripturally.
75
00:03:25.000 --> 00:03:27.790
Now, many times people don't
know how to pray scripturally.
76
00:03:27.790 --> 00:03:30.370
They don't know what is God's will for
77
00:03:30.370 --> 00:03:32.890
what they're facing in their life.
78
00:03:32.890 --> 00:03:34.540 line:15%
But when you reach out to us for prayer,
79
00:03:34.540 --> 00:03:36.430 line:15%
we will pray scripturally.
80
00:03:36.430 --> 00:03:38.710 line:15%
We'll go to the word of God with you.
81
00:03:38.710 --> 00:03:40.840 line:15%
We'll pray according to his will.
82
00:03:40.840 --> 00:03:43.240 line:15%
God will hear us because
that's what this verse says.
83
00:03:43.240 --> 00:03:45.460 line:15%
We can be confident of that.
84
00:03:45.460 --> 00:03:48.880 line:15%
And if he hears us, then we know that we have the petitions
85
00:03:48.880 --> 00:03:50.110 line:15%
that we have made of him.
86
00:03:50.110 --> 00:03:51.910 line:15%
You can pray by yourself,
87
00:03:51.910 --> 00:03:55.090 line:15%
but sometimes it helps to
have somebody pray with you.
88
00:03:55.090 --> 00:03:58.270 line:15%
So here we are, just call the
number that is on the screen
89
00:03:58.270 --> 00:03:59.800 line:15%
or send us an email.
90
00:03:59.800 --> 00:04:02.470 line:15%
And the moment we hear from
you, we're going to begin
91
00:04:02.470 --> 00:04:04.210 line:15%
to really pray for you.
92
00:04:04.210 --> 00:04:07.030 line:15%
But before we get into
today's teaching, I just want
93
00:04:07.030 --> 00:04:09.700 line:15%
to share one testimony of
someone who reached out
94
00:04:09.700 --> 00:04:11.110 line:15%
to us for prayer.
95
00:04:11.110 --> 00:04:13.000 line:15%
Listen to this.
96
00:04:13.000 --> 00:04:14.200
A man called to tell us,
97
00:04:14.200 --> 00:04:17.950 line:15%
someone had told him about Renner Ministries, so he decided
98
00:04:17.950 --> 00:04:19.480 line:15%
to check us out.
99
00:04:19.480 --> 00:04:23.140 line:15%
Since looking us up, he's
been watching the program
100
00:04:23.140 --> 00:04:26.500 line:15%
and said that Pastor Rick's
teachings have tremendously
101
00:04:26.500 --> 00:04:28.870 line:15%
blessed him in the season of his life.
102
00:04:28.870 --> 00:04:30.700 line:15%
They've helped him grow in the Lord
103
00:04:30.700 --> 00:04:33.010 line:15%
and have been exactly what he needed,
104
00:04:33.010 --> 00:04:36.940 line:15%
and he feels so very
connected to this ministry.
105
00:04:36.940 --> 00:04:40.270
Well, that testimony meant a lot to me. And my friends,
106
00:04:40.270 --> 00:04:41.800
when you reach out to us, we want
107
00:04:41.800 --> 00:04:43.240 line:15%
to be connected to you as well.
108
00:04:43.240 --> 00:04:47.260
We want to become a spiritual
support in your life.
109
00:04:47.260 --> 00:04:49.090
But today I want you to
reach for your Bible,
110
00:04:49.090 --> 00:04:51.970 line:15%
and today we're gonna begin this series called, The
111
00:04:51.970 --> 00:04:53.080 line:15%
Spirit-Filled Life.
112
00:04:53.080 --> 00:04:56.470 line:15%
And I want to focus today on the revealing
113
00:04:56.470 --> 00:05:00.280 line:15%
and prophetic ministry of the Holy Spirit.
114
00:05:00.280 --> 00:05:02.380 line:15%
As I told you, when I was growing up,
115
00:05:02.380 --> 00:05:05.230
I really didn't understand
the Spirit-Filled Life.
116
00:05:05.230 --> 00:05:08.050
I didn't know that you could
actually have fellowship
117
00:05:08.050 --> 00:05:10.180
and partnership with the Holy Spirit.
118
00:05:10.180 --> 00:05:11.740
And I didn't know
119
00:05:11.740 --> 00:05:15.190
that we could really, explicitly, know the will of God.
120
00:05:15.190 --> 00:05:18.790
And I've discovered over the years from millions of letters
121
00:05:18.790 --> 00:05:20.350 line:15%
that we have received,
122
00:05:20.350 --> 00:05:21.970 line:15%
and when I say millions of letters,
123
00:05:21.970 --> 00:05:25.990
I am not exaggerating; if we just count the mail
124
00:05:25.990 --> 00:05:28.480
that we have received in the territory
125
00:05:28.480 --> 00:05:29.860
of the former Soviet Union,
126
00:05:29.860 --> 00:05:32.320
it is millions and millions of letters.
127
00:05:32.320 --> 00:05:35.440
And if you look at all the
mail that we have received,
128
00:05:35.440 --> 00:05:39.250
and if you analyze it
primarily people want
129
00:05:39.250 --> 00:05:43.390
to know one thing - What is God's will for my life?
130
00:05:43.390 --> 00:05:46.510
What job am I supposed to take?
131
00:05:46.510 --> 00:05:48.400
What job am I not supposed to take?
132
00:05:48.400 --> 00:05:50.260
Am I supposed to marry this person
133
00:05:50.260 --> 00:05:52.420
or does God have someone else for me?
134
00:05:52.420 --> 00:05:55.150
What does God want me to do financially?
135
00:05:55.150 --> 00:05:57.920
People have so many questions
136
00:05:57.920 --> 00:06:01.550
and it seems that finding the
will of God is so obtrusive,
137
00:06:01.550 --> 00:06:04.310
it's so difficult for them to find,
138
00:06:04.310 --> 00:06:05.690
but in the Spirit-Filled Life,
139
00:06:05.690 --> 00:06:09.440
we discover the Holy Spirit is
speaking to us all the time.
140
00:06:09.440 --> 00:06:11.660
He's revealing to us what we need to know.
141
00:06:11.660 --> 00:06:15.050
He's prophetically even speaking to us about the future.
142
00:06:15.050 --> 00:06:20.050
But - many times people wrongly quote a scripture to say -
143
00:06:20.060 --> 00:06:22.910
Well you just can't always know the will of God. My friends,
144
00:06:22.910 --> 00:06:24.110
that is not the truth.
145
00:06:24.110 --> 00:06:26.450
You can know the will of God
146
00:06:26.450 --> 00:06:28.700
and as a factor of the spirit-filled life,
147
00:06:28.700 --> 00:06:30.290
the Holy Spirit is your partner wants
148
00:06:30.290 --> 00:06:32.930
to reveal the will of God to you.
149
00:06:32.930 --> 00:06:36.560
But they quote 1 Corinthians 2:9 wrongly,
150
00:06:36.560 --> 00:06:39.650
which says - Eye has not seen
151
00:06:39.650 --> 00:06:42.470 line:15%
nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart
152
00:06:42.470 --> 00:06:45.380 line:15%
of man the things that God has prepared
153
00:06:45.380 --> 00:06:46.850 line:15%
for them that love him.
154
00:06:46.850 --> 00:06:48.770 line:15%
Well, the very end of the verse says,
155
00:06:48.770 --> 00:06:51.770 line:15%
God has prepared wonderful things for us
156
00:06:51.770 --> 00:06:56.030
and he has. God has been meticulously working a plan from
157
00:06:56.030 --> 00:06:59.420
before the foundation of the world of everything he wants
158
00:06:59.420 --> 00:07:02.480
to do in your life: what job you're supposed to have,
159
00:07:02.480 --> 00:07:05.090
what gifts he's placed inside you: who you're supposed
160
00:07:05.090 --> 00:07:07.370
to marry: what you're supposed to do with your life.
161
00:07:07.370 --> 00:07:11.870
God has a plan for you exactly for you.
162
00:07:11.870 --> 00:07:14.870 line:15%
And the end of the verse says,
He's prepared it for you.
163
00:07:14.870 --> 00:07:17.510 line:15%
And that word prepared is from
a Greek word which carries
164
00:07:17.510 --> 00:07:18.860 line:15%
the idea of readiness
165
00:07:18.860 --> 00:07:21.770 line:15%
or something that's been fully prepared.
166
00:07:21.770 --> 00:07:24.530 line:15%
Now you just need to
find it and step into it.
167
00:07:24.530 --> 00:07:26.390
But when I was growing up particularly,
168
00:07:26.390 --> 00:07:30.530
I would hear people say - Well, you know what the Bible says
169
00:07:30.530 --> 00:07:33.860
Eye has not seen nor ear heard,
170
00:07:33.860 --> 00:07:37.250
neither has entered into
the heart of man the things
171
00:07:37.250 --> 00:07:39.920
that God has prepared
for them that love him.
172
00:07:41.030 --> 00:07:43.490
Well, my friends, there's
something wrong about this.
173
00:07:43.490 --> 00:07:46.970
So God has prepared all these
wonderful things for us.
174
00:07:46.970 --> 00:07:48.170
But no, eye has seen,
175
00:07:48.170 --> 00:07:51.050
no ear has heard the heart cannot conceive
176
00:07:51.050 --> 00:07:53.180
what God has prepared for us.
177
00:07:53.180 --> 00:07:54.710
There's something wrong there.
178
00:07:54.710 --> 00:07:57.590
If God has prepared all these
wonderful things for us,
179
00:07:57.590 --> 00:07:58.970
then we're supposed to see it,
180
00:07:58.970 --> 00:08:02.330
we're supposed to hear it, we're supposed to understand it.
181
00:08:02.330 --> 00:08:06.620
But we use this verse as
an excuse for ignorance.
182
00:08:06.620 --> 00:08:08.840
And we literally said - You know what?
183
00:08:09.710 --> 00:08:11.150
You just can't always know what kind
184
00:08:11.150 --> 00:08:12.740
of job you're supposed to take.
185
00:08:12.740 --> 00:08:14.390
You're not always supposed to know
186
00:08:14.390 --> 00:08:15.500
what God has planned for you.
187
00:08:15.500 --> 00:08:18.410
Just like the Bible says,
eyes not seen, ears not heard.
188
00:08:18.410 --> 00:08:21.830
The heart can't understand
all the wonderful things
189
00:08:21.830 --> 00:08:24.470
that God has prepared for us. My friends,
190
00:08:24.470 --> 00:08:27.170
That is an abuse of that scripture.
191
00:08:27.170 --> 00:08:31.250
There indeed was a time
when no eye had seen,
192
00:08:31.250 --> 00:08:34.250
no ear had hurt and the heart
couldn't imagine the things
193
00:08:34.250 --> 00:08:35.720
that God has prepared for us.
194
00:08:35.720 --> 00:08:40.580
And in fact, Paul was quoting from Isaiah when he read
195
00:08:40.580 --> 00:08:44.600
this verse. Isaiah 64:4,
196
00:08:44.600 --> 00:08:46.933
Isaiah says, as it is written,
197
00:08:46.933 --> 00:08:48.813
Eye has not seen nor ear heard,
198
00:08:48.813 --> 00:08:50.665
and neither have entered into the heart
199
00:08:50.665 --> 00:08:52.880
of man the things which
God has prepared for them.
200
00:08:52.880 --> 00:08:56.040
And at that earlier moment
under the old covenant,
201
00:08:56.040 --> 00:08:58.530
when people didn't have a relationship with the Holy Spirit,
202
00:08:58.530 --> 00:09:01.440
Isaiah was bemoaning the fact
203
00:09:01.440 --> 00:09:04.410
that God has prepared such
wonderful things for us,
204
00:09:04.410 --> 00:09:06.690
but we just seem to have
a hard time figuring out
205
00:09:06.690 --> 00:09:08.250
what they are.
206
00:09:08.250 --> 00:09:12.930
There really was a time of ignorance, but when we got saved
207
00:09:12.930 --> 00:09:14.820
and the Holy Spirit came into our life
208
00:09:14.820 --> 00:09:17.670
and we stepped into the spirit-filled life, the day
209
00:09:17.670 --> 00:09:19.680
of ignorance went away.
210
00:09:19.680 --> 00:09:23.130
We're no longer living in the time when the eye can't see
211
00:09:23.130 --> 00:09:25.920
and the ear can't hear and the heart can't imagine.
212
00:09:25.920 --> 00:09:30.120
And in fact, 1 Corinthians 2:10 continues
213
00:09:30.120 --> 00:09:32.700
to say - it continues to say -
214
00:09:32.700 --> 00:09:37.410
but God hath revealed them unto us
215
00:09:37.410 --> 00:09:39.390
by his spirit.
216
00:09:39.390 --> 00:09:42.210
He's revealed them. He's revealed what? The things
217
00:09:42.210 --> 00:09:45.090
that we previously couldn't see; the things
218
00:09:45.090 --> 00:09:47.790
that we previously couldn't hear; the things
219
00:09:47.790 --> 00:09:49.505
that we previously couldn't understand,
220
00:09:49.505 --> 00:09:52.320
all the wonderful things
that he's prepared for us.
221
00:09:52.320 --> 00:09:55.200 line:15%
There really was a time
when we couldn't seem
222
00:09:55.200 --> 00:09:57.660 line:15%
to find those things, but verse 10 says,
223
00:09:57.660 --> 00:10:01.470 line:15%
but God has now revealed them unto us
224
00:10:01.470 --> 00:10:03.960 line:15%
by his spirit.
225
00:10:04.860 --> 00:10:08.490 line:15%
Wow! Which means now we can see, now we can hear,
226
00:10:08.490 --> 00:10:11.280
now we can know - God wants us to see.
227
00:10:11.280 --> 00:10:12.900
He wants us to understand
228
00:10:12.900 --> 00:10:17.040
and comprehend all the wonderful things he's planned for us,
229
00:10:17.040 --> 00:10:18.990
including his will for our life.
230
00:10:19.830 --> 00:10:24.270 line:15%
And the word, revealed, in verse 10 is from the form
231
00:10:24.270 --> 00:10:26.430 line:15%
of the Greek word, apokalupto.
232
00:10:26.430 --> 00:10:29.520 line:15%
Now it's a compound word and
this is very, very important.
233
00:10:29.520 --> 00:10:31.890 line:15%
The 1st part of the word is the word, apo.
234
00:10:31.890 --> 00:10:34.140 line:15%
The 2nd part of the word is kalupto.
235
00:10:34.140 --> 00:10:36.390 line:15%
The word apo means away,
236
00:10:36.390 --> 00:10:40.710 line:15%
and the word kalupto is the Greek word for a veil,
237
00:10:40.710 --> 00:10:43.890 line:15%
a curtain, or some type of covering.
238
00:10:43.890 --> 00:10:45.690 line:15%
But when you take the word apo and kalupto
239
00:10:45.690 --> 00:10:47.730 line:15%
and compound them into one word,
240
00:10:47.730 --> 00:10:50.970 line:15%
it forms the Greek word apokalupto, which here is translated
241
00:10:50.970 --> 00:10:53.040 line:15%
as the word revealed,
242
00:10:53.040 --> 00:10:56.490 line:15%
but it literally means to remove the veil
243
00:10:56.490 --> 00:10:58.410 line:15%
or to remove the curtain,
244
00:10:58.410 --> 00:11:02.220 line:15%
so you can see what is on the other side.
245
00:11:02.220 --> 00:11:04.740 line:15%
It reversed to something that was veiled
246
00:11:04.740 --> 00:11:07.050 line:15%
or hidden for a long, long time,
247
00:11:07.050 --> 00:11:09.870 line:15%
but suddenly it becomes clear
248
00:11:09.870 --> 00:11:14.870 line:15%
and visible to the mind or to the eye.
249
00:11:15.090 --> 00:11:18.420 line:15%
I say it's like the big
glass picture window
250
00:11:18.420 --> 00:11:19.560
you have in your house.
251
00:11:19.560 --> 00:11:21.060
When we were going up,
252
00:11:21.060 --> 00:11:23.400
we had a big picture window in our house.
253
00:11:24.720 --> 00:11:26.790
Very often the curtains were closed, and
254
00:11:26.790 --> 00:11:29.340
because the curtains were closed,
255
00:11:29.340 --> 00:11:31.980
we couldn't see the
view on the other side.
256
00:11:31.980 --> 00:11:35.040
What was on the other
side was there all along,
257
00:11:35.040 --> 00:11:38.040
but we couldn't see it
and we couldn't enjoy it
258
00:11:38.040 --> 00:11:39.930
because the curtains were closed.
259
00:11:40.770 --> 00:11:42.510
But when my precious mother would begin
260
00:11:42.510 --> 00:11:44.280
to pull the string on the curtains
261
00:11:44.280 --> 00:11:47.520
and begin to pull the
curtains apart, suddenly
262
00:11:47.520 --> 00:11:50.640
what was invisible to us became visible
263
00:11:50.640 --> 00:11:54.340
because when the curtains
parted, wow could see it.
264
00:11:54.340 --> 00:11:58.810
It was there all along that
our view was obstructed.
265
00:11:58.810 --> 00:12:01.180
But when the curtains were pulled apart,
266
00:12:01.180 --> 00:12:03.730
we could clearly see everything out
267
00:12:03.730 --> 00:12:06.280
that big picture glass window in our house.
268
00:12:06.280 --> 00:12:09.220
And the view was so magnificent.
269
00:12:10.235 --> 00:12:11.440
When I tell you this,
270
00:12:11.440 --> 00:12:13.960
I'm thinking about an
event in my own life.
271
00:12:13.960 --> 00:12:17.470
One time when I was in
Jerusalem with my filming team
272
00:12:17.470 --> 00:12:19.510
and we were filming TV programs,
273
00:12:20.590 --> 00:12:24.760
and that whole week I
had the curtains closed
274
00:12:24.760 --> 00:12:26.500
in my hotel room.
275
00:12:26.500 --> 00:12:29.200
Every day when I came home from filming, I worked and worked
276
00:12:29.200 --> 00:12:31.510
and worked and worked,
which is my way of living.
277
00:12:32.825 --> 00:12:36.100
But on the last day when it
was time for us to check out
278
00:12:36.100 --> 00:12:40.060
of the hotel, I just had a thought. I wonder what's
279
00:12:40.060 --> 00:12:41.110
outside of this window.
280
00:12:41.110 --> 00:12:43.150
I've never opened the curtains.
281
00:12:44.260 --> 00:12:46.450
And when I opened the curtains,
282
00:12:47.410 --> 00:12:49.510
I could hardly believe what I saw.
283
00:12:49.510 --> 00:12:52.780
The view was so magnificent.
284
00:12:52.780 --> 00:12:55.930
It was like a panoramic view
of the city of Jerusalem.
285
00:12:55.930 --> 00:13:00.130
It had been outside my
window all that time
286
00:13:01.180 --> 00:13:03.730
that I'd never opened to the curtains, and
287
00:13:03.730 --> 00:13:06.070
therefore I had never seen it.
288
00:13:06.910 --> 00:13:08.770
This is what often happens in our life.
289
00:13:08.770 --> 00:13:12.280
God has prepared wonderful things for us.
290
00:13:12.280 --> 00:13:14.800
God has a wonderful marriage for you.
291
00:13:14.800 --> 00:13:16.570
God has kids planned for you.
292
00:13:16.570 --> 00:13:18.700
He's got a career planned for you.
293
00:13:18.700 --> 00:13:21.220
God has prepared so many wonderful things
294
00:13:21.220 --> 00:13:25.390
for you in the word prepared in Greek, in 1 Corinthians
295
00:13:25.390 --> 00:13:29.290
2:9 means, God has really put meticulous
296
00:13:29.290 --> 00:13:32.830
planning into this wonderful thing
297
00:13:32.830 --> 00:13:34.390
he's got planned for your life,
298
00:13:34.390 --> 00:13:36.370
but you can't see it by yourself.
299
00:13:36.370 --> 00:13:38.350
You can't figure it out by yourself.
300
00:13:38.350 --> 00:13:40.450
Your eye can't see it,
your ear can't hear it,
301
00:13:40.450 --> 00:13:42.010
your heart can't figure it out.
302
00:13:42.010 --> 00:13:46.210
But God reveals it to us by His spirit -
303
00:13:46.210 --> 00:13:48.640
which means - when you ask the Holy Spirit to help you,
304
00:13:48.640 --> 00:13:52.900
he begins to pull the curtain
apart so that you begin
305
00:13:52.900 --> 00:13:57.900 line:15%
to clearly see - Wow - that's
what God wants me to do.
306
00:13:58.120 --> 00:14:02.740 line:15%
Now I see it. That's who
God wants me to marry.
307
00:14:02.740 --> 00:14:07.210 line:15%
I see it. That's the job
that I'm supposed to take.
308
00:14:07.210 --> 00:14:08.710 line:15%
That's where I'm supposed to live.
309
00:14:08.710 --> 00:14:12.670 line:15%
Now I see that's the church
that I'm supposed to attend.
310
00:14:12.670 --> 00:14:15.220 line:15%
When the Holy Spirit
begins to work with us,
311
00:14:15.220 --> 00:14:18.340 line:15%
suddenly he removes the blinders
312
00:14:18.340 --> 00:14:23.230
and enables us to see what
previously we were never able
313
00:14:23.230 --> 00:14:25.360
to see by ourself.
314
00:14:25.360 --> 00:14:26.590 line:15%
I'll give you another example.
315
00:14:27.490 --> 00:14:31.840 line:15%
I remember the first time I
got my first pair of glasses.
316
00:14:31.840 --> 00:14:34.360 line:15%
I went to the medical center, they took me in.
317
00:14:34.360 --> 00:14:36.010 line:15%
I began to try on glasses.
318
00:14:36.940 --> 00:14:40.030 line:15%
And when they finally
gave me my prescription,
319
00:14:40.030 --> 00:14:41.530 line:15%
I was sitting near a window
320
00:14:41.530 --> 00:14:44.350 line:15%
and outside the window
was a beautiful tree.
321
00:14:44.350 --> 00:14:47.140 line:15%
But when they put the glasses on me
322
00:14:48.310 --> 00:14:49.930
and I looked out the window,
323
00:14:49.930 --> 00:14:53.780
I could see the leaves of the tree.
324
00:14:53.780 --> 00:14:56.930
I didn't realize that until that time,
325
00:14:56.930 --> 00:14:58.700
everything had been a blur to me
326
00:14:58.700 --> 00:15:01.340
because I just always lived with a blur.
327
00:15:01.340 --> 00:15:04.250
Some people live like that.
They just live with a blur.
328
00:15:04.250 --> 00:15:06.410
They can't really see the details
329
00:15:06.410 --> 00:15:08.000
that God wants to show them.
330
00:15:08.000 --> 00:15:12.170
But when I put on my glasses,
I can remember that event
331
00:15:12.170 --> 00:15:14.240
as if it happened just now today.
332
00:15:14.240 --> 00:15:15.890
I looked out that window
333
00:15:15.890 --> 00:15:19.790
and thought to myself - those leaves
334
00:15:20.750 --> 00:15:22.700
have such details.
335
00:15:23.720 --> 00:15:26.750
Well, they had always had those details
336
00:15:26.750 --> 00:15:30.110
that I had never been able to see them
337
00:15:30.110 --> 00:15:32.420
until I received something that enabled me
338
00:15:32.420 --> 00:15:34.250
to really clearly see.
339
00:15:34.250 --> 00:15:35.840
And that's what the Holy Spirit does.
340
00:15:35.840 --> 00:15:37.820
He comes to remove ignorance.
341
00:15:37.820 --> 00:15:39.650
He comes to remove our blinders.
342
00:15:39.650 --> 00:15:41.720
And if you'll hook up with the Holy Spirit
343
00:15:41.720 --> 00:15:43.250
and allow him to work in your life,
344
00:15:43.250 --> 00:15:45.230
he will remove the blinders.
345
00:15:45.230 --> 00:15:46.820
He will open the veil.
346
00:15:46.820 --> 00:15:51.170
He will show you things that
God has planned for your life.
347
00:15:52.250 --> 00:15:54.410
But there's one more scripture in relation to this
348
00:15:54.410 --> 00:15:55.520
that is very important,
349
00:15:55.520 --> 00:15:59.900
and that is in John 16:13,
350
00:15:59.900 --> 00:16:03.320
where Jesus is describing the
ministry of the Holy Spirit.
351
00:16:03.320 --> 00:16:08.150
And in this verse, Jesus said - Howbeit when he,
352
00:16:08.150 --> 00:16:11.240
the spirit of truth, is come -
353
00:16:11.240 --> 00:16:13.310
and notice that he calls the Holy Spirit the spirit
354
00:16:13.310 --> 00:16:16.280
of truth, which means when the Holy Spirit comes
355
00:16:16.280 --> 00:16:19.940
and begins to reveal things
to you, you can trust it.
356
00:16:19.940 --> 00:16:22.010
He's the spirit of truth.
357
00:16:22.010 --> 00:16:25.160
How be it when He, the Spirit of truth is come,
358
00:16:25.160 --> 00:16:28.580
he will guide you into all the truth.
359
00:16:28.580 --> 00:16:30.710
For he shall not speak of himself,
360
00:16:32.120 --> 00:16:34.790
but whatsoever he shall
hear that shall he speak.
361
00:16:34.790 --> 00:16:39.790
Now, listen to this - He will show you things
362
00:16:40.070 --> 00:16:43.100
to come. And the word, shew, the Greek word
363
00:16:43.100 --> 00:16:46.160
anangello, means to announce,
364
00:16:46.160 --> 00:16:48.620
and it describes a vivid showing
365
00:16:48.620 --> 00:16:51.920
or a vivid pronouncing of events.
366
00:16:53.030 --> 00:16:57.410
Which means the Holy Spirit wants to get so involved with us
367
00:16:57.410 --> 00:17:01.310
that he wants to literally show us things to come.
368
00:17:01.310 --> 00:17:02.480
Now, somebody might say, well,
369
00:17:02.480 --> 00:17:05.090
I understand he's gonna show
us things in the scripture.
370
00:17:05.090 --> 00:17:08.030
And actually if you study
the scriptures, there's a lot
371
00:17:08.030 --> 00:17:09.620
of examples about the revealing
372
00:17:09.620 --> 00:17:12.380
or the showing ministry of the Holy Spirit.
373
00:17:12.380 --> 00:17:15.470
For example, in Matthew 24, under the inspiration
374
00:17:15.470 --> 00:17:17.060
of the Holy Spirit, Jesus spoke
375
00:17:17.060 --> 00:17:21.230
and prophesied about End-Time events explicitly
376
00:17:21.230 --> 00:17:24.200
as the Holy Spirit begin to show things to come.
377
00:17:24.200 --> 00:17:26.690 line:15%
You can read about it in my book called, Signs
378
00:17:26.690 --> 00:17:28.490 line:15%
You'll See Just Before Jesus Comes.
379
00:17:28.490 --> 00:17:31.550 line:15%
Or when you go to 2 Timothy 3,
380
00:17:31.550 --> 00:17:33.770 line:15%
the Apostle Paul begins to describe events
381
00:17:33.770 --> 00:17:36.380 line:15%
that will occur in society
at the very end of the age.
382
00:17:36.380 --> 00:17:39.290 line:15%
It is explicit, it is vivid.
383
00:17:39.290 --> 00:17:42.080 line:15%
You can read about that in my book called Last Day's
384
00:17:42.080 --> 00:17:43.700 line:15%
Survival Guide.
385
00:17:43.700 --> 00:17:45.110 line:15%
When you go to the book of Revelation,
386
00:17:45.110 --> 00:17:48.530 line:15%
you just see the Holy Spirit vividly describing the events
387
00:17:48.530 --> 00:17:49.800 line:15%
that come in the future.
388
00:17:49.800 --> 00:17:52.950 line:15%
But on a personal level,
389
00:17:52.950 --> 00:17:55.290 line:15%
the Holy Spirit will also speak to us.
390
00:17:56.310 --> 00:17:59.610
You say, will he really?
Yes, he cares about you.
391
00:17:59.610 --> 00:18:03.540
He cares about your future.
He cares about your finances.
392
00:18:03.540 --> 00:18:07.740
He cares about your health. The Holy Spirit cares about you.
393
00:18:07.740 --> 00:18:11.100
If you will listen to him, he'll show you
394
00:18:11.100 --> 00:18:12.240
what to do with your money.
395
00:18:13.110 --> 00:18:16.380 line:15%
If you will listen to
him, he'll show you where
396
00:18:16.380 --> 00:18:19.650 line:15%
to go on vacation or where
not to go on vacation.
397
00:18:19.650 --> 00:18:22.440 line:15%
And I'll give you an illustration.
398
00:18:22.440 --> 00:18:27.390 line:15%
Many years ago, I was going to take my family to Sri Lanka
399
00:18:27.390 --> 00:18:29.220
for a vacation
400
00:18:29.220 --> 00:18:30.240
at the very end of the year
401
00:18:30.240 --> 00:18:32.640
and the beginning of the New Year. Oh, we were all
402
00:18:32.640 --> 00:18:34.260
so excited about it.
403
00:18:34.260 --> 00:18:36.780
We'd been making our plans.
404
00:18:36.780 --> 00:18:39.630
And one day as I was praying,
the Holy Spirit began to speak
405
00:18:39.630 --> 00:18:43.530
to me and show me not to go there.
406
00:18:43.530 --> 00:18:45.510
He didn't tell me why.
407
00:18:45.510 --> 00:18:49.680
I just knew on the inside
of me we were not to go
408
00:18:49.680 --> 00:18:51.030
to Sri Lanka.
409
00:18:52.290 --> 00:18:54.630
Oh, I didn't want to tell the kids
410
00:18:54.630 --> 00:18:56.790
because the boys were really
looking forward to it.
411
00:18:56.790 --> 00:18:59.010
And I know Sri Lanka sounds very exotic,
412
00:18:59.010 --> 00:19:01.260
but from Moscow, it's not
that far to get there.
413
00:19:01.260 --> 00:19:03.960
And we had found a very
inexpensive place to stay.
414
00:19:03.960 --> 00:19:05.820
We were quite excited.
415
00:19:05.820 --> 00:19:07.620
But yet the Holy Spirit was speaking to me
416
00:19:07.620 --> 00:19:11.760
and showing me, don't go
there, don't go there.
417
00:19:11.760 --> 00:19:14.160
I could have ignored that
and we could have gone.
418
00:19:15.240 --> 00:19:19.350
But I chose to obey: to trust the spirit of truth.
419
00:19:20.850 --> 00:19:22.470
And so I pulled the family together
420
00:19:22.470 --> 00:19:23.730
and I said, we're not gonna go.
421
00:19:23.730 --> 00:19:27.960
I don't know why, but the Holy
Spirit is showing me we are
422
00:19:27.960 --> 00:19:30.840
not to go to Sri Lanka right now.
423
00:19:32.010 --> 00:19:34.470
The boys said, Dad, we're glad that you obey the Lord.
424
00:19:34.470 --> 00:19:36.780
We'll just stay home and we'll have a good time.
425
00:19:36.780 --> 00:19:37.950
So time passed.
426
00:19:38.850 --> 00:19:43.140
And the very moment when we were supposed to be in our hotel
427
00:19:43.140 --> 00:19:47.130
on the southeastern shore of Sri Lanka, that day,
428
00:19:47.130 --> 00:19:50.610
we came home, turned on the news in Moscow here
429
00:19:50.610 --> 00:19:55.350
where we live, and we saw
the huge tsunami had hit
430
00:19:55.350 --> 00:19:57.090
that part of the world.
431
00:19:57.090 --> 00:20:01.410
The tsunami was so huge,
it devastated Indonesia
432
00:20:01.410 --> 00:20:05.970
and the hotel we were
supposed to stay in was gone.
433
00:20:05.970 --> 00:20:07.680
It had been carried to the sea
434
00:20:07.680 --> 00:20:10.200
and everyone in that hotel had died.
435
00:20:10.200 --> 00:20:14.040
And if we had been there, we would've died as well.
436
00:20:14.940 --> 00:20:19.050
But the Holy Spirit is faithful to show us things to come.
437
00:20:19.050 --> 00:20:22.350
And because I was listening,
we weren't there when
438
00:20:22.350 --> 00:20:23.880
that tragedy took place.
439
00:20:24.810 --> 00:20:25.980
But in today's program,
440
00:20:25.980 --> 00:20:28.920
we have seen the Holy
Spirit has come as part
441
00:20:28.920 --> 00:20:32.040
of the spirit-filled
life to remove ignorance.
442
00:20:32.040 --> 00:20:36.450 line:15%
He wants to pull the veil apart so you can see, understand,
443
00:20:36.450 --> 00:20:39.180 line:15%
and really comprehend all the marvelous things
444
00:20:39.180 --> 00:20:42.150 line:15%
that God has prepared for your life.
445
00:20:42.150 --> 00:20:45.750 line:15%
And if you will listen, he will really show you what steps
446
00:20:45.750 --> 00:20:48.070 line:15%
to take, what steps not to take.
447
00:20:48.070 --> 00:20:53.070 line:15%
All of that is a part of the spirit-filled life.
448
00:20:53.530 --> 00:20:55.240
Isn't this encouraging?
449
00:20:55.240 --> 00:20:57.760
I'll be back in just a moment
and I'm going to pray for you.
450
00:21:05.715 --> 00:21:06.760
This is Rick Renner
451
00:21:06.760 --> 00:21:09.790 line:15%
and somebody has asked the marvelous question -
452
00:21:09.790 --> 00:21:12.310 line:15%
How do I read the Bible?
453
00:21:12.310 --> 00:21:14.620 line:15%
Well, I'm glad that
you've asked that question
454
00:21:14.620 --> 00:21:17.230 line:15%
because you need to be
reading the scripture.
455
00:21:17.230 --> 00:21:20.470 line:15%
The Bible tells us in Psalm 5:3,
456
00:21:20.470 --> 00:21:24.130
David said, Lord, in the morning I will look up.
457
00:21:24.130 --> 00:21:25.990
I will look up in the morning.
458
00:21:25.990 --> 00:21:28.330
He says it twice in that verse.
459
00:21:28.330 --> 00:21:29.710
When I wake up in the morning,
460
00:21:29.710 --> 00:21:32.260
the first thing I do is
grab a cup of coffee.
461
00:21:32.260 --> 00:21:35.350
And then I go to the chair
where I pick up my Bible
462
00:21:35.350 --> 00:21:36.640
and I begin to read.
463
00:21:36.640 --> 00:21:39.430
And normally I begin in the Book of Psalms
464
00:21:39.430 --> 00:21:42.460
because the Book of Psalms is so filled with healing
465
00:21:42.460 --> 00:21:45.820
and comfort, my friends,
it is really powerful.
466
00:21:45.820 --> 00:21:48.760
And if you're just getting
started reading the Bible,
467
00:21:48.760 --> 00:21:52.120
I advise you to begin in Psalm 1,
468
00:21:52.120 --> 00:21:55.360
and that in the New Testament
begin by reading the gospel
469
00:21:55.360 --> 00:21:58.900
of John, which is John's view of the life of Jesus.
470
00:21:58.900 --> 00:22:02.920
It will really feed your spirit and it will make you strong.
471
00:22:02.920 --> 00:22:05.740
So my suggestion, read the Book of Psalms
472
00:22:05.740 --> 00:22:07.660
and begin by reading the book of John.
473
00:22:08.980 --> 00:22:11.620 line:15%

Hey, this is Rick Renner and I am in Tulsa.
497
00:23:32.380 --> 00:23:33.790
And look who's with me.
498
00:23:33.790 --> 00:23:37.510
This is part of our Tulsa staff. Around the whole world
499
00:23:37.510 --> 00:23:41.710
we have about 300 employees that work in this ministry
500
00:23:41.710 --> 00:23:43.540
and that is amazing to me.
501
00:23:43.540 --> 00:23:45.530
Just look what the Lord has done
502
00:23:45.530 --> 00:23:48.110
and we're reaching people all over the world in our various
503

00:23:57.800 --> 00:24:00.620
taking your calls, praying for you.
507
00:24:00.620 --> 00:24:02.150
And we're praying people, aren't we?
508
00:24:02.150 --> 00:24:04.850
Yes, we really are praying people,
509
00:24:04.850 --> 00:24:08.120
but God gave us this facility
510
00:24:08.120 --> 00:24:09.530
and we're trying to pay it off.
511
00:24:09.530 --> 00:24:14.530 line:15%
And now we've already paid off 87%.
512
00:24:14.600 --> 00:24:16.670 line:15%
We call it the Ministry Expansion Project
513
00:24:16.670 --> 00:24:19.490 line:15%
because once we're finished
paying this debt off,
514
00:24:19.490 --> 00:24:23.210
it's gonna free finances so we
can take the trusted teaching
515
00:24:23.210 --> 00:24:25.760 line:15%
to the Bible even further
to the ends of the earth.
516
00:24:25.760 --> 00:24:27.260 line:15%
And that's our call.
517
00:24:27.260 --> 00:24:30.080 line:15%
And if you're already a
member of the Giving Team
518
00:24:30.080 --> 00:24:33.170 line:15%
to help us retire the debt
on this building, I just want
519
00:24:33.170 --> 00:24:36.260 line:15%
to say thank you and we
all say thank you to you.
520
00:24:36.260 --> 00:24:38.960 line:15%
And if you're not a part
of the Giving Team yet,
521
00:24:38.960 --> 00:24:41.150 line:15%
I invite you today to join our giving team
522
00:24:41.150 --> 00:24:43.250 line:15%
to help us retire the debt.
523
00:24:43.250 --> 00:24:44.870 line:15%
It's really not about retiring the debt,
524
00:24:44.870 --> 00:24:47.150 line:15%
it's about releasing finances
525
00:24:47.150 --> 00:24:49.280 line:15%
so we can take the trusted
teaching of the Bible
526
00:24:49.280 --> 00:24:52.160 line:15%
to more people that are crying out for it.
527
00:24:52.160 --> 00:24:54.020 line:15%
So thank you for being a part of the team
528
00:24:54.020 --> 00:24:57.380 line:15%
and please pray about joining our ministry team
529
00:24:57.380 --> 00:25:00.020 line:15%
to retire the debt on this facility.
530
00:25:12.890 --> 00:25:14.870
Today. I've been talking about features
531
00:25:14.870 --> 00:25:16.640
of the Spirit-Filled Life,
532
00:25:16.640 --> 00:25:19.850
and we've seen that when you
live the Spirit-Filled Life
533
00:25:19.850 --> 00:25:21.920
and you've really partnered
with the Holy Spirit,
534
00:25:21.920 --> 00:25:23.600
he removes ignorance.
535
00:25:23.600 --> 00:25:25.970
He pulls the veil apart to show you
536
00:25:25.970 --> 00:25:27.680
what you can't see about yourself,
537
00:25:27.680 --> 00:25:32.030
and he will even show you things to come.
538
00:25:32.030 --> 00:25:35.270 line:15%
But all of this is just a little piece
539
00:25:35.270 --> 00:25:37.880 line:15%
of the whole series, a 5-part series,
540
00:25:37.880 --> 00:25:39.920 line:15%
which is called The Spirit-Filled Life.
541
00:25:39.920 --> 00:25:42.410 line:15%
And it comes with a wonderful study guide.
542
00:25:42.410 --> 00:25:45.590 line:15%
And remember that today we're offering you my book,
543
00:25:45.590 --> 00:25:48.530 line:15%
which is called, My Spirit-Empowered Day.
544
00:25:48.530 --> 00:25:52.430 line:15%
Every day of your life is supposed to be spirit empowered.
545
00:25:52.430 --> 00:25:54.830 line:15%
You say, well, how do I have that in my life?
546
00:25:54.830 --> 00:25:57.710 line:15%
We'll get this book and we'll walk you into it.
547
00:25:57.710 --> 00:25:59.180 line:15%
It's going to be so powerful
548
00:25:59.180 --> 00:26:01.610 line:15%
and will make such a
difference in your life.
549
00:26:01.610 --> 00:26:04.640 line:15%
But you can order all these
things by going online
550
00:26:04.640 --> 00:26:07.820 line:15%
or by calling the number that
is on the screen right now.
551
00:26:07.820 --> 00:26:09.950 line:15%
And we're waiting to hear from you.
552
00:26:09.950 --> 00:26:13.340 line:15%
And when you reach out to us,
also let us know how to pray
553
00:26:13.340 --> 00:26:15.770
for you because we are
in the prayer business
554
00:26:15.770 --> 00:26:17.900 line:15%
and we really want to pray for you
555
00:26:17.900 --> 00:26:22.820 line:15%
and believe it is a major
part of our ministry for you.
556
00:26:22.820 --> 00:26:24.500 line:15%
But put your hand on your heart,
557
00:26:24.500 --> 00:26:26.570 line:15%
and I wanna pray for you right now.
558
00:26:26.570 --> 00:26:29.570 line:15%
Father, we thank you that
you have sent the Holy Spirit
559
00:26:29.570 --> 00:26:33.320 line:15%
to remove ignorance, to pull
the veil apart, to show us
560
00:26:33.320 --> 00:26:36.800 line:15%
what we need to know about
our job, about our future,
561
00:26:36.800 --> 00:26:39.860 line:15%
about our kids, about our finances.
562
00:26:39.860 --> 00:26:42.290 line:15%
And Holy Spirit, we thank
you that you love us so much
563
00:26:42.290 --> 00:26:45.600 line:15%
you have been sent as the spirit of truth to show us
564
00:26:45.600 --> 00:26:47.910 line:15%
what we need to know about the present
565
00:26:47.910 --> 00:26:51.210 line:15%
and about the future, what
to do and what not to do.
566
00:26:51.210 --> 00:26:53.970 line:15%
Help us to have ears to hear so
567
00:26:53.970 --> 00:26:58.200 line:15%
that we can receive
your revealing ministry.
568
00:26:58.200 --> 00:27:03.200 line:15%
In Jesus' name - Amen. I'll see you in the next program.
569
00:27:03.420 --> 00:27:06.660
But remember, Ecclesiastes 8:4 says, "Where the word
570
00:27:06.660 --> 00:27:09.810
of a king is, there is power."
571
00:27:09.810 --> 00:27:12.090
If you've never received Jesus as your Savior
572
00:27:12.090 --> 00:27:16.440
and Lord, now is the time for you to experience a new life
573
00:27:16.440 --> 00:27:18.630
Jesus has to give you.
574
00:27:18.630 --> 00:27:23.220
Pray this prayer with me right now - Lord, I repent
575
00:27:23.220 --> 00:27:26.700
of my sin and receive you as my Savior
576
00:27:26.700 --> 00:27:29.670
and Lord. Wash away my sin
577
00:27:29.670 --> 00:27:32.700
and make me completely new.
578
00:27:32.700 --> 00:27:36.600
I thank you that my sin is removed
579
00:27:36.600 --> 00:27:41.600
and Satan no longer has any right to lay claim on me.
580
00:27:42.030 --> 00:27:46.020
I faithfully promise that I will serve you as my Lord
581
00:27:46.020 --> 00:27:47.700
for the rest of my life -
582
00:27:48.600 --> 00:27:49.600
Amen.
583
00:27:51.720 --> 00:27:53.940

00:28:16.020 --> 00:28:17.910
that will last throughout eternity.
592
