<v ->This program is made
possible by the giving</v>

2
00:00:04.020 --> 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 --> 00:00:21.570
We keep it simple,

8
00:00:21.570 --> 00:00:26.100
but dive deep revealing a
truth that strengthens us,

9
00:00:27.000 --> 00:00:28.890
a love that emboldens,

10
00:00:30.030 --> 00:00:32.160
and a mission that touches the world.

11
00:00:34.530 --> 00:00:36.060
Let's join Rick Renner.

12
00:00:38.880 --> 00:00:40.320
<v ->Welcome to today's program.</v>

13
00:00:40.320 --> 00:00:41.670
My name is Rick Renner

14
00:00:41.670 --> 00:00:46.140
and my friend, I'm really excited at a brand new topic we're

15
00:00:46.140 --> 00:00:48.270 line:15% 
beginning today, which is called, How

16
00:00:48.270 --> 00:00:51.510 line:15% 
to Flourish in Your Senior Years.

17
00:00:51.510 --> 00:00:56.100 line:15% 
The subtitle says, Proof that God wants to use You Mightily

18
00:00:56.100 --> 00:00:58.650 line:15% 
as you age and mature.

19
00:00:58.650 --> 00:01:01.560 line:15% 
Now I can just hear somebody
say, well, I'm not senior yet,

20
00:01:01.560 --> 00:01:03.630
so this has no application to me,

21
00:01:03.630 --> 00:01:05.760
but one day you will be senior

22
00:01:05.760 --> 00:01:09.270
and you need to be renewing
your mind right now about

23
00:01:09.270 --> 00:01:10.560
growing older.

24
00:01:10.560 --> 00:01:14.070 line:15% 
My friends, this series
has proof that God wants

25
00:01:14.070 --> 00:01:17.820 line:15% 
to use you mightily as you age and mature.

26
00:01:17.820 --> 00:01:21.150 line:15% 
And that's why we put redwoods
on the cover of the series.

27
00:01:21.150 --> 00:01:24.930 line:15% 
Redwoods are mighty, they're
tall and they're old.

28
00:01:24.930 --> 00:01:28.020 line:15% 
And the same way God
wants you to be mighty

29
00:01:28.020 --> 00:01:30.270 line:15% 
as you reach the end of your life

30
00:01:30.270 --> 00:01:31.320 line:15% 
and the later years

31
00:01:31.320 --> 00:01:34.680 line:15% 
of your life should be
the most productive years

32
00:01:34.680 --> 00:01:35.730 line:15% 
of your life.

33
00:01:35.730 --> 00:01:37.290 line:15% 
So don't give up.

34
00:01:37.290 --> 00:01:38.910 line:15% 
If you're getting a little older,

35
00:01:38.910 --> 00:01:41.640 line:15% 
you're actually entering
your greatest fruit

36
00:01:41.640 --> 00:01:42.930 line:15% 
producing season.

37
00:01:42.930 --> 00:01:46.410 line:15% 
And I'm gonna prove it to you
from scripture in this series,

38
00:01:46.410 --> 00:01:48.240 line:15% 
which also comes with a study guide.

39
00:01:48.240 --> 00:01:50.100 line:15% 
And right now I'm offering you my book,

40
00:01:50.100 --> 00:01:52.920 line:15% 
which is called A Life Ablaze.

41
00:01:52.920 --> 00:01:55.170 line:15% 
You're not supposed to be
on fire early in your life

42
00:01:55.170 --> 00:01:56.730 line:15% 
and then lose your fire.

43
00:01:56.730 --> 00:02:00.000 line:15% 
You're supposed to burn with
a blazing fire all the way

44
00:02:00.000 --> 00:02:03.450 line:15% 
to the end of your life -
that is God's will for you.

45
00:02:03.450 --> 00:02:06.750 line:15% 
And in this book I cover 10 simple keys

46
00:02:06.750 --> 00:02:11.750 line:15% 
to living on fire for God all the way to the end.

47
00:02:11.880 --> 00:02:13.200 line:15% 
You will devour this book

48
00:02:13.200 --> 00:02:16.770 line:15% 
and it will really ignite
you with spiritual fire.

49
00:02:16.770 --> 00:02:19.500 line:15% 
But you can order all these
things by going online

50
00:02:19.500 --> 00:02:20.880 line:15% 
or by giving us a call.

51
00:02:20.880 --> 00:02:23.520 line:15% 
And please remember that
we're waiting to pray for you.

52
00:02:23.520 --> 00:02:25.740 line:15% 
And if you'll call it
the number on the screen

53
00:02:25.740 --> 00:02:28.890 line:15% 
or if you'll send us an
email, our team is waiting

54
00:02:28.890 --> 00:02:32.100 line:15% 
to receive your email or
your phone call right now.

55
00:02:32.100 --> 00:02:33.930 line:15% 
And the moment your email shows up

56
00:02:33.930 --> 00:02:36.000 line:15% 
or the moment the phone rings, we're going

57
00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:38.430 line:15% 
to join you in faith.

58
00:02:38.430 --> 00:02:41.970 line:15% 
And Jesus is going to
do exactly what needs

59
00:02:41.970 --> 00:02:43.530 line:15% 
to be done in your life

60
00:02:43.530 --> 00:02:45.990 line:15% 
or for whoever you are concerned about.

61
00:02:45.990 --> 00:02:49.260 line:15% 
We'll pray in faith, we
will pray scripturally

62
00:02:49.260 --> 00:02:52.530 line:15% 
and Jesus will do the spectacular.

63
00:02:52.530 --> 00:02:55.320 line:15% 
But today I want you
to reach for your Bible

64
00:02:55.320 --> 00:02:57.210
and you really need to
have your Bible today

65
00:02:57.210 --> 00:02:58.920
because today we're
gonna be looking at a lot

66
00:02:58.920 --> 00:03:01.120 line:15% 
of very important verses.

67
00:03:01.120 --> 00:03:04.660 line:15% 
And today I'm calling this teachings - God's Promise

68
00:03:04.660 --> 00:03:06.460
of Longevity.

69
00:03:06.460 --> 00:03:09.490 line:15% 
But I want to begin today
by talking about age.

70
00:03:09.490 --> 00:03:12.520 line:15% 
Middle age is generally
considered to be somewhere

71
00:03:12.520 --> 00:03:16.780 line:15% 
between 40 and 45 and 60 and 65.

72
00:03:16.780 --> 00:03:19.450 line:15% 
So if you're between those
ages, you're considered

73
00:03:19.450 --> 00:03:21.100 line:15% 
to be middle age.

74
00:03:21.100 --> 00:03:24.010 line:15% 
But in most countries, 65 years

75
00:03:24.010 --> 00:03:27.040 line:15% 
of age is considered the benchmark

76
00:03:27.040 --> 00:03:28.810 line:15% 
for becoming a senior citizen.

77
00:03:28.810 --> 00:03:31.360 line:15% 
So that would make me a senior citizen.

78
00:03:31.360 --> 00:03:34.870 line:15% 
The United States government
officially states if a person

79
00:03:34.870 --> 00:03:38.800 line:15% 
is 65 years old than
he is a senior citizen,

80
00:03:38.800 --> 00:03:43.090 line:15% 
and right now there are more
than 50 million Americans.

81
00:03:43.090 --> 00:03:44.890 line:15% 
Now this statistic is about America,

82
00:03:44.890 --> 00:03:48.640 line:15% 
but in America there are more
than 50 million Americans

83
00:03:48.640 --> 00:03:52.060 line:15% 
that are over 65 years of age

84
00:03:52.060 --> 00:03:54.730 line:15% 
and seniors age 65

85
00:03:54.730 --> 00:03:57.430 line:15% 
to 69 - are you ready for this -

86
00:03:57.430 --> 00:04:01.360 line:15% 
are more likely to have
jobs than teenagers.

87
00:04:01.360 --> 00:04:03.010 line:15% 
I think that is amazing.

88
00:04:03.010 --> 00:04:06.160 line:15% 
Those between 60 and 69, 65

89
00:04:06.160 --> 00:04:09.640 line:15% 
and 69 are more likely to
have jobs than teenagers.

90
00:04:09.640 --> 00:04:12.520 line:15% 
And in fact, a full 32%

91
00:04:12.520 --> 00:04:16.240 line:15% 
of those past retirement age have jobs.

92
00:04:16.240 --> 00:04:17.890 line:15% 
And hey, that's a good thing

93
00:04:17.890 --> 00:04:20.080 line:15% 
because when you have a job,
you have a purpose for living.

94
00:04:20.080 --> 00:04:21.940 line:15% 
Very often people retire

95
00:04:21.940 --> 00:04:23.980 line:15% 
and they sit around, they
don't know what to do,

96
00:04:23.980 --> 00:04:26.350 line:15% 
and when they don't have something to focus on, they begin

97
00:04:26.350 --> 00:04:28.780 line:15% 
to focus on their body and
their aches and their pains

98
00:04:28.780 --> 00:04:29.950 line:15% 
and they begin to get sick

99
00:04:29.950 --> 00:04:32.470 line:15% 
and their life begins to deteriorate.

100
00:04:32.470 --> 00:04:34.420 line:15% 
It's good to work as long as you can work

101
00:04:34.420 --> 00:04:36.700 line:15% 
and a full 32%

102
00:04:36.700 --> 00:04:40.030 line:15% 
of those past retirement age are working.

103
00:04:40.030 --> 00:04:41.740 line:15% 
I think that is wonderful.

104
00:04:41.740 --> 00:04:45.520 line:15% 
And the average life expectancy in the United States

105
00:04:45.520 --> 00:04:48.430 line:15% 
for women is 80.2 years.

106
00:04:48.430 --> 00:04:50.290 line:15% 
And the average life expectancy

107
00:04:50.290 --> 00:04:54.610 line:15% 
for a man is 74.8 years old.

108
00:04:54.610 --> 00:04:58.210 line:15% 
But in the last 3-decades - are you ready for this -

109
00:04:58.210 --> 00:05:02.200 line:15% 
the centenarian population has nearly tripled.

110
00:05:02.200 --> 00:05:03.670 line:15% 
You say, well, what is a centenarian?

111
00:05:03.670 --> 00:05:06.520 line:15% 
That is somebody that is 100 years or older

112
00:05:06.520 --> 00:05:10.270 line:15% 
and it is projected that by 2050,

113
00:05:10.270 --> 00:05:14.290 line:15% 
at least 400,000 Americans will be

114
00:05:14.290 --> 00:05:16.000 line:15% 
centenarians.

115
00:05:16.000 --> 00:05:18.970 line:15% 
And at present, the world population

116
00:05:18.970 --> 00:05:21.010 line:15% 
of centenarians is about

117
00:05:21.010 --> 00:05:24.520 line:15% 
722,000 people.

118
00:05:24.520 --> 00:05:26.500 line:15% 
And by 2054,

119
00:05:26.500 --> 00:05:31.210 line:15% 
the worldwide centenarian population will reach 4 million,

120
00:05:31.210 --> 00:05:33.430 line:15% 
which means people are living longer.

121
00:05:33.430 --> 00:05:35.170 line:15% 
Wait, wait, hold on to this.

122
00:05:35.170 --> 00:05:38.830 line:15% 
By the year 2100, if we make it to the year, 2100,

123
00:05:38.830 --> 00:05:41.110 line:15% 
the number is predicted to increase

124
00:05:41.110 --> 00:05:45.220 line:15% 
to over 20 million people who are a hundred years

125
00:05:45.220 --> 00:05:46.990 line:15% 
or older.

126
00:05:46.990 --> 00:05:48.910
That is amazing. Which means the day

127
00:05:48.910 --> 00:05:51.880
of the redwoods has arrived.

128
00:05:51.880 --> 00:05:53.110
This is our day.

129
00:05:54.340 --> 00:05:57.920
But when you go to Genesis 6:3,

130
00:05:57.920 --> 00:06:01.580
we have a very interesting verse which says,

131
00:06:01.580 --> 00:06:04.340
And the Lord said, my spirit shall not always strive

132
00:06:04.340 --> 00:06:06.710
with man for that he is also flesh,

133
00:06:06.710 --> 00:06:10.340
yet his days shall be 120 years.

134
00:06:10.340 --> 00:06:13.130
And some people interpret
this to be a promise

135
00:06:13.130 --> 00:06:17.030 line:15% 
that we can claim to live to be 120 years.

136
00:06:17.030 --> 00:06:21.170 line:15% 
But the truth is, there's
no reason you can't live

137
00:06:21.170 --> 00:06:22.370 line:15% 
to be 120 years

138
00:06:22.370 --> 00:06:25.970 line:15% 
or even longer if you do what
is necessary to take care

139
00:06:25.970 --> 00:06:28.550 line:15% 
of your body and your soul.

140
00:06:28.550 --> 00:06:29.930
If you take care of your body

141
00:06:29.930 --> 00:06:33.290
and your soul, you can live a longer life.

142
00:06:33.290 --> 00:06:35.240
But there are many, many scriptures

143
00:06:35.240 --> 00:06:39.800
that promise long life if
the right conditions are met.

144
00:06:39.800 --> 00:06:41.120
But many

145
00:06:41.120 --> 00:06:45.080
who were raised in traditional
churches like me were wrongly

146
00:06:45.080 --> 00:06:49.400
taught that God only promised 70 or 80 years

147
00:06:49.400 --> 00:06:52.910
and they were wrongly taught
this based on Psalm 90:

148
00:06:52.910 --> 00:06:56.210
10, which says - The days

149
00:06:56.210 --> 00:06:59.690
of our years are threescore years and 10,

150
00:06:59.690 --> 00:07:03.290
and if by reason of strength
they be fourscore years.

151
00:07:03.290 --> 00:07:05.210
Yet is there strength in labor

152
00:07:05.210 --> 00:07:09.140
and sorrow for it is soon
cut off and we fly away.

153
00:07:09.140 --> 00:07:12.680
And based on this verse,
most people believe

154
00:07:12.680 --> 00:07:15.980
that all God really promises is 70

155
00:07:15.980 --> 00:07:18.620
and maybe if you're lucky, 80 years.

156
00:07:18.620 --> 00:07:19.730
But you need to understand

157
00:07:19.730 --> 00:07:23.090
who Psalm 90 verse 10 was written to.

158
00:07:23.090 --> 00:07:24.860
It was written to the children of Israel

159
00:07:24.860 --> 00:07:27.830
who rebelled against God in the wilderness

160
00:07:27.830 --> 00:07:29.810
and forfeited their privilege

161
00:07:29.810 --> 00:07:31.550
to enter into the land of promise.

162
00:07:31.550 --> 00:07:35.180
And rather than let these disgruntled Israelites just wander

163
00:07:35.180 --> 00:07:38.720
around forever in the wilderness, God in his mercy said,

164
00:07:38.720 --> 00:07:41.930
I'm going to limit their life to 70 or 80 years

165
00:07:41.930 --> 00:07:45.260
and put an end to this miserable generation.

166
00:07:45.260 --> 00:07:48.650
That's really what Psalm 90:10 is about.

167
00:07:48.650 --> 00:07:51.500
That limitation had to do with God's mercy.

168
00:07:51.500 --> 00:07:55.940
It was not a verse saying
that all of us can only claim

169
00:07:55.940 --> 00:07:57.920
to live 70 or 80 years.

170
00:07:57.920 --> 00:08:01.700
And in fact, when the next generation entered into the land

171
00:08:01.700 --> 00:08:06.170
of promise, many, many, many
of them lived well beyond 70

172
00:08:06.170 --> 00:08:07.760
and 80 years.

173
00:08:07.760 --> 00:08:10.940
And by the way, this is an
example of how vital it is

174
00:08:10.940 --> 00:08:13.820
that we understand who God is speaking to

175
00:08:13.820 --> 00:08:16.610
and why God is saying what he is saying.

176
00:08:16.610 --> 00:08:19.520
That was a specific verse to limit the age

177
00:08:19.520 --> 00:08:22.550
of a disgruntled, rebellious generation.

178
00:08:22.550 --> 00:08:27.470
And the fact is the Bible
promises long, long life

179
00:08:27.470 --> 00:08:30.890
to those who love and obey the Lord.

180
00:08:30.890 --> 00:08:34.130
And the word of God is filled
with promises of a long,

181
00:08:34.130 --> 00:08:37.850
vibrant life for those who walk with the Lord.

182
00:08:37.850 --> 00:08:42.850
And longevity is his blessing to the faithful.

183
00:08:42.920 --> 00:08:47.540
Consider this amazing promise in Psalm 91:

184
00:08:47.540 --> 00:08:52.220
16 - With long life will I satisfy him

185
00:08:52.220 --> 00:08:54.800
and show him my salvation.

186
00:08:54.800 --> 00:08:57.780
And you know that verse says
he'll show us his salvation.

187
00:08:57.780 --> 00:08:59.730
I don't just claim long life,

188
00:08:59.730 --> 00:09:02.100
but I claim that God's gonna show me his salvation:

189
00:09:02.100 --> 00:09:05.220
his deliverance, his healing, his prosperity,

190
00:09:05.220 --> 00:09:07.110
everything packed in salvation.

191
00:09:07.110 --> 00:09:11.160
He wants to show me his salvation to the end of my life.

192
00:09:11.160 --> 00:09:12.540
But the first of the verse says,

193
00:09:12.540 --> 00:09:15.480
with long life will I satisfy him?

194
00:09:15.480 --> 00:09:16.740
So let's take this apart.

195
00:09:16.740 --> 00:09:20.520
The word long here is a Hebrew
word that speaks of length

196
00:09:20.520 --> 00:09:23.010
and it implies longevity.

197
00:09:23.010 --> 00:09:25.950
The word, life, is actually the word days.

198
00:09:25.950 --> 00:09:29.250
So if you look at this as a phrase in the original language,

199
00:09:29.250 --> 00:09:31.380
it actually says with long days

200
00:09:31.380 --> 00:09:34.590
and it depicts a very, very long life.

201
00:09:34.590 --> 00:09:37.500
And then the verse says,
will I satisfy him.

202
00:09:37.500 --> 00:09:41.700
And the word satisfy means to have enough, to have plenty of

203
00:09:41.700 --> 00:09:44.490
or to be fully satisfied.

204
00:09:44.490 --> 00:09:48.180
So if you want to claim a verse for longevity,

205
00:09:49.170 --> 00:09:52.650
Psalm 91:16 is your verse

206
00:09:52.650 --> 00:09:55.530
because it promises longevity to those

207
00:09:55.530 --> 00:09:59.310
who abide in the shadow of the Almighty.

208
00:09:59.310 --> 00:10:03.570
And according to Psalm 91:16, you can live

209
00:10:03.570 --> 00:10:07.950
until you reach the point of satisfaction. Say, Amen.

210
00:10:09.030 --> 00:10:11.880
So if you're not satisfied,
you don't have to leave yet.

211
00:10:11.880 --> 00:10:13.830
That's what the Bible promises

212
00:10:13.830 --> 00:10:16.710
and we need to renew our
mind to what the Bible says.

213
00:10:16.710 --> 00:10:20.310
But the Bible is filled with
promises about long life

214
00:10:20.310 --> 00:10:21.960
and I want to give some of them to you.

215
00:10:21.960 --> 00:10:23.730
So either look at it in your Bible with me

216
00:10:23.730 --> 00:10:25.260
or write down these verses

217
00:10:25.260 --> 00:10:26.850
because you're gonna wanna look at them again

218
00:10:26.850 --> 00:10:30.840 line:15% 
and again. Deuteronomy 4:40 says - Thou shall keep

219
00:10:30.840 --> 00:10:32.130
therefore his statutes

220
00:10:32.130 --> 00:10:35.280 line:15% 
and his commandments, which I command the this day

221
00:10:35.280 --> 00:10:37.170 line:15% 
that it may go well with thee.

222
00:10:37.170 --> 00:10:39.930 line:15% 
So when you obey the word of God, life is gonna be better

223
00:10:39.930 --> 00:10:41.970 line:15% 
and with thy children after these.

224
00:10:41.970 --> 00:10:44.160 line:15% 
So your obedience is not just going to affect you,

225
00:10:44.160 --> 00:10:46.740 line:15% 
it's going to affect your children and your grandchildren.

226
00:10:46.740 --> 00:10:51.120 line:15% 
And then it adds, That thou mayest prolong thy days upon the

227
00:10:51.120 --> 00:10:54.480 line:15% 
earth, which the Lord thy God giveth thee forever.

228
00:10:54.480 --> 00:10:57.120
So now we find by living a right life,

229
00:10:57.120 --> 00:10:59.010
we can prolong our days.

230
00:10:59.850 --> 00:11:02.100
Deuteronomy 5:33 -

231
00:11:02.100 --> 00:11:04.740
You shall walk in the ways which the Lord your God hath

232
00:11:04.740 --> 00:11:06.960
commanded you that you may live

233
00:11:06.960 --> 00:11:08.430
and that it may be well with you

234
00:11:08.430 --> 00:11:12.930
and that you may prolong your
days in the land which you

235
00:11:12.930 --> 00:11:14.280
shall possess.

236
00:11:14.280 --> 00:11:17.400
God wants you to have longevity.

237
00:11:17.400 --> 00:11:20.791
Or how about Deuteronomy 6:1-2 which says -

238
00:11:22.385 --> 00:11:24.540 line:15% 
Now these are the commandments, the statutes,

239
00:11:24.540 --> 00:11:27.000 line:15% 
and the judgments which the Lord your God commanded

240
00:11:27.000 --> 00:11:30.180 line:15% 
to teach you that ye might do them in the land

241
00:11:30.180 --> 00:11:32.040 line:15% 
whether you go to possess it:

242
00:11:32.040 --> 00:11:34.110 line:15% 
that thou mightist fear the Lord thy God

243
00:11:34.110 --> 00:11:35.340 line:15% 
to keep his statutes

244
00:11:35.340 --> 00:11:39.060 line:15% 
and his commandments, which I
command thee thou and thy sons

245
00:11:39.060 --> 00:11:41.970 line:15% 
and thy sons son all the days of thy life.

246
00:11:41.970 --> 00:11:45.990 line:15% 
And that thy days may be

247
00:11:45.990 --> 00:11:47.340 line:15% 
prolonged. Again,

248
00:11:47.340 --> 00:11:49.260 line:15% 
we have the promise that if we walk with God

249
00:11:49.260 --> 00:11:52.230
and obey the word of God,
we will have longevity.

250
00:11:52.230 --> 00:11:54.280
Our days will be prolonged.

251
00:11:54.280 --> 00:11:56.770
Or how about Deuteronomy 30:19

252
00:11:56.770 --> 00:11:59.770 line:15% 
and 20 which says - I call heaven

253
00:11:59.770 --> 00:12:03.160 line:15% 
and earth to record this day
against you that I have set

254
00:12:03.160 --> 00:12:06.160 line:15% 
before you life and death, blessing and cursing,

255
00:12:06.160 --> 00:12:07.990 line:15% 
therefore choose life.

256
00:12:07.990 --> 00:12:10.840 line:15% 
And I'm saying that to you - choose life.

257
00:12:10.840 --> 00:12:13.150 line:15% 
And it goes on to say that both thou

258
00:12:13.150 --> 00:12:17.440 line:15% 
and thy seed may live that thou mayest love the Lord thy God

259
00:12:17.440 --> 00:12:19.690 line:15% 
and that thou mayest obey his voice

260
00:12:19.690 --> 00:12:23.050 line:15% 
and thou mayest cleave unto him, for he is thy life

261
00:12:23.050 --> 00:12:25.330 line:15% 
<v ->are you ready for this - He is thy life</v>

262
00:12:25.330 --> 00:12:29.050 line:15% 
and the length of thy days. Or

263
00:12:29.050 --> 00:12:33.700
how about Exodus 20:12 which says - Honor thy father

264
00:12:33.700 --> 00:12:37.960
and thy mother that thy days may be long upon the land

265
00:12:37.960 --> 00:12:39.610
with the Lord thy God givest thee.

266
00:12:39.610 --> 00:12:42.280
So there you have a promise
that if you honor your mother

267
00:12:42.280 --> 00:12:44.980
and your father, your
days will be prolonged.

268
00:12:44.980 --> 00:12:47.020
You'll have longevity in life.

269
00:12:47.020 --> 00:12:49.600
Or how about 1 Kings 3:14 -

270
00:12:49.600 --> 00:12:53.020
And if thou will walk in my ways to keep my statutes

271
00:12:53.020 --> 00:12:56.320
and my commandments as thy father David did,

272
00:12:56.320 --> 00:12:58.960
then I will lengthen thy days. Again,

273
00:12:58.960 --> 00:13:02.200
we find longevity for those that are obedient.

274
00:13:02.200 --> 00:13:04.390
Or how about Proverbs 3:1

275
00:13:04.390 --> 00:13:08.500
and 2 which says - Ny son, forget not my law, but let thy

276
00:13:08.500 --> 00:13:11.980
and heart keep my commandments for length of days

277
00:13:11.980 --> 00:13:16.000
and long life and peace shall they add to thee.

278
00:13:16.000 --> 00:13:17.950
So if you remember the word of God

279
00:13:17.950 --> 00:13:21.130
and if your heart keeps his commandments, length of days

280
00:13:21.130 --> 00:13:24.970
and long life and peace, not just a long life,

281
00:13:24.970 --> 00:13:28.360
but a wonderful peaceful life, shall they add

282
00:13:28.360 --> 00:13:32.050
to thee. Hear, Oh son and receive my sayings

283
00:13:32.050 --> 00:13:36.310
and the years of thy life shall be many for by me,

284
00:13:36.310 --> 00:13:38.950
thy days shall be multiplied

285
00:13:38.950 --> 00:13:42.940
and the years of thy life shall be increased.

286
00:13:42.940 --> 00:13:47.260
Then in Proverbs 9:11, in Proverbs 10:27,

287
00:13:47.260 --> 00:13:51.700
the Bible says The fear of the Lord prolongeth days.

288
00:13:51.700 --> 00:13:55.540
Then in Job 5:26, it says - Thou shalt come

289
00:13:55.540 --> 00:13:59.920
to thy grave in a full age, like as a shock

290
00:13:59.920 --> 00:14:03.340
of corn cometh in his season.

291
00:14:03.340 --> 00:14:06.370
Now you know, when I was young, I remember looking at people

292
00:14:06.370 --> 00:14:07.780
that were about 60 years old

293
00:14:07.780 --> 00:14:10.750
and they really, really looked old.

294
00:14:10.750 --> 00:14:14.770
My grandmother Renner looked really old when she was 60.

295
00:14:14.770 --> 00:14:17.320
And you know why? Because people were believing wrong.

296
00:14:17.320 --> 00:14:20.590
They believed that all God promised was 70: maybe if you're

297
00:14:20.590 --> 00:14:22.330
lucky, 80 years of life.

298
00:14:22.330 --> 00:14:24.400
So about the time they hit 60, they begin

299
00:14:24.400 --> 00:14:25.660
to think they were coming to the end

300
00:14:25.660 --> 00:14:29.530
of their life when in fact
the Bible promises longevity.

301
00:14:29.530 --> 00:14:32.080
You can live much, much longer than 70

302
00:14:32.080 --> 00:14:34.150
or 80 years if you obey the word of God

303
00:14:34.150 --> 00:14:36.310
and if you take care of your body.

304
00:14:36.310 --> 00:14:41.310
And now even medical science has declared: this is brand new

305
00:14:41.710 --> 00:14:45.760
<v ->that if the human body is taken care of, it is feasible</v>

306
00:14:45.760 --> 00:14:47.890
that the human body could live to be -

307
00:14:47.890 --> 00:14:51.080
are you ready - a thousand years old?

308
00:14:51.080 --> 00:14:52.310
Well, that's exactly about

309
00:14:52.310 --> 00:14:54.170
how long people were
living before the flood.

310
00:14:54.170 --> 00:14:58.040
So that really happened at
one time before sin came.

311
00:14:58.040 --> 00:15:00.980
And the way most people think about aging

312
00:15:00.980 --> 00:15:04.490
and old age needs to change.

313
00:15:04.490 --> 00:15:08.420
Proverbs 23:7 says - As a person thinks in his heart,

314
00:15:08.420 --> 00:15:09.740
so is he.

315
00:15:09.740 --> 00:15:12.830
So if you think you're old,
you're probably gonna get old.

316
00:15:12.830 --> 00:15:14.900
But if you're older and you begin to think

317
00:15:14.900 --> 00:15:16.340
that you've got a long race to run,

318
00:15:16.340 --> 00:15:19.700
you're gonna run a longer race
the way you think is really

319
00:15:19.700 --> 00:15:21.560
going to affect what you experience.

320
00:15:21.560 --> 00:15:26.560
And we need to renew our minds about longevity.

321
00:15:26.840 --> 00:15:31.100
God promises a long and satisfying life to the faithful

322
00:15:31.100 --> 00:15:35.780
and he does not limit his blessing to 70 or 80 years

323
00:15:35.780 --> 00:15:40.280
or even to 120 years as some people think. My friends,

324
00:15:40.280 --> 00:15:42.830
that is not even the outer limitation.

325
00:15:42.830 --> 00:15:47.450
Psalm 91:16 says, God wants for you to live

326
00:15:47.450 --> 00:15:51.980
until you are satisfied - satisfied.

327
00:15:51.980 --> 00:15:55.310
Now, let's talk about some patriarchs in the Old Testament

328
00:15:55.310 --> 00:15:57.680
who lived to be well over a hundred years

329
00:15:57.680 --> 00:15:59.630
and were going to begin with Abraham.

330
00:15:59.630 --> 00:16:03.050
And the Bible tells us in Genesis 25:7 and 8 -

331
00:16:03.050 --> 00:16:06.380
And these are the days of the years of Abraham's life,

332
00:16:06.380 --> 00:16:09.680
which he lived 103 score ann 15 years.

333
00:16:09.680 --> 00:16:13.970
Then Abraham gave up the ghost
and died in a good old age

334
00:16:13.970 --> 00:16:15.890
and old man and full of years

335
00:16:15.890 --> 00:16:18.230
and was gathered to his people.

336
00:16:18.230 --> 00:16:20.750
One score is 20 years.

337
00:16:20.750 --> 00:16:25.340
Abraham's life was a hundred years plus 3-score and

338
00:16:25.340 --> 00:16:27.380
15 years, which means Abraham lived

339
00:16:27.380 --> 00:16:30.770 line:15% 
to be 175.

340
00:16:30.770 --> 00:16:35.770
And when he did reach 175, he
did not die as a sick old man.

341
00:16:35.780 --> 00:16:39.260
He died as a very healthy
man. Or how about Moses?

342
00:16:39.260 --> 00:16:41.510
We read in Deuteronomy 34:7 -

343
00:16:41.510 --> 00:16:44.720
And Moses was 120 years old when he died.

344
00:16:44.720 --> 00:16:46.550
His eye was not dim

345
00:16:46.550 --> 00:16:49.040
nor his natural force abated,

346
00:16:49.040 --> 00:16:52.490
which means not only did he
live to be 120 years old,

347
00:16:52.490 --> 00:16:56.600 line:15% 
his eyesight was clear, he
possessed mental acuity,

348
00:16:56.600 --> 00:16:59.300 line:15% 
his mental and physical
faculties were sharp.

349
00:16:59.300 --> 00:17:00.560 line:15% 
And just like Abraham

350
00:17:00.560 --> 00:17:03.950 line:15% 
before him, he was
physically strong all the way

351
00:17:03.950 --> 00:17:05.360 line:15% 
to the end of his life.

352
00:17:06.710 --> 00:17:08.960 line:15% 
Or how about Job? Everybody talks about Job -

353
00:17:08.960 --> 00:17:11.210 line:15% 
what a sad life Job lived.

354
00:17:11.210 --> 00:17:15.260
But after Job faced a very difficult season of his life,

355
00:17:15.260 --> 00:17:19.700
he lived another 140 years

356
00:17:19.700 --> 00:17:21.710
and during those latter 140 years,

357
00:17:21.710 --> 00:17:24.710
he lived a very long happy, good life.

358
00:17:24.710 --> 00:17:28.280
The Bible tells us in Job 42:16 and 17 -

359
00:17:28.280 --> 00:17:32.510
After this lived job 140 years

360
00:17:32.510 --> 00:17:34.010
and saw his sons

361
00:17:34.010 --> 00:17:35.420
and his sons sons,

362
00:17:35.420 --> 00:17:39.680
even four generations
shows job died being old

363
00:17:39.680 --> 00:17:43.160
and full of days, which means
he really lived another good

364
00:17:43.160 --> 00:17:47.870
and happy 140 years after
that earlier rough season.

365
00:17:47.870 --> 00:17:50.070
And his life was not cut short,

366
00:17:50.070 --> 00:17:53.310
he didn't die a sick week old man.

367
00:17:53.310 --> 00:17:57.150
And in fact he was full
of days. How about Isaac?

368
00:17:57.150 --> 00:18:00.840
The Bible tells us in Genesis 35:28, Isaac lived

369
00:18:00.840 --> 00:18:03.300
to be 120 years old.

370
00:18:03.300 --> 00:18:06.390
Or how about Jacob the father of the 12 tribes; he lived

371
00:18:06.390 --> 00:18:09.090
to be 147 years old.

372
00:18:09.090 --> 00:18:13.350
Psalm 103:5 says - are you ready for this -

373
00:18:13.350 --> 00:18:18.120
God will renew your youth like the eagle

374
00:18:18.120 --> 00:18:22.890
which is a promise of supernatural age renewal

375
00:18:22.890 --> 00:18:24.720
for those who walk with God.

376
00:18:24.720 --> 00:18:26.610
That's what it is. It's a promise

377
00:18:26.610 --> 00:18:30.630
of supernatural age renewal
for those who walk with God.

378
00:18:30.630 --> 00:18:34.560 line:15% 
And in Isaiah 40:29 - 31,

379
00:18:34.560 --> 00:18:37.290 line:15% 
the Bible says - He gives power to the faint

380
00:18:37.290 --> 00:18:38.850 line:15% 
and to them who have no might

381
00:18:38.850 --> 00:18:40.560 line:15% 
he increases strength.

382
00:18:40.560 --> 00:18:43.290 line:15% 
Even the youths shall faint and be weary

383
00:18:43.290 --> 00:18:45.630 line:15% 
and the young man shall utterly fall,

384
00:18:45.630 --> 00:18:49.830 line:15% 
but they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength.

385
00:18:49.830 --> 00:18:52.740 line:15% 
They shall mount up with wings as eagles.

386
00:18:52.740 --> 00:18:55.110 line:15% 
They shall run and not be weary.

387
00:18:55.110 --> 00:18:58.050 line:15% 
They shall walk and not faint.

388
00:18:58.050 --> 00:18:59.880
That is God's promise for those

389
00:18:59.880 --> 00:19:02.700
who wait upon the Lord - and my friends -

390
00:19:02.700 --> 00:19:06.840
today we are surrounded by contemporary examples of people

391
00:19:06.840 --> 00:19:08.850
that are renewing their mind to the fact

392
00:19:08.850 --> 00:19:11.550
that they can live longer
and they're living longer

393
00:19:11.550 --> 00:19:14.580
and they're living productive
lives all the way to the end.

394
00:19:14.580 --> 00:19:19.580 line:15% 
But listen to this. New studies show the most productive age

395
00:19:19.710 --> 00:19:23.400 line:15% 
is from 60 to 70 years of age.

396
00:19:23.400 --> 00:19:27.210 line:15% 
The 2nd most productive age is from 70

397
00:19:27.210 --> 00:19:29.190 line:15% 
to 80 years of life.

398
00:19:29.190 --> 00:19:31.860 line:15% 
Did you hear that - 70 to 80 years of life.

399
00:19:31.860 --> 00:19:35.430 line:15% 
The third most productive age is from 50

400
00:19:35.430 --> 00:19:38.040 line:15% 
to 60 years of age.

401
00:19:38.040 --> 00:19:42.420 line:15% 
The average age of Nobel
Prize winners is late 60's

402
00:19:42.420 --> 00:19:44.220 line:15% 
and early 70's.

403
00:19:44.220 --> 00:19:46.050 line:15% 
The average age of presidents

404
00:19:46.050 --> 00:19:49.920 line:15% 
of prominent corporations is 60 years old.

405
00:19:49.920 --> 00:19:52.050 line:15% 
The average age of pastors

406
00:19:52.050 --> 00:19:57.000 line:15% 
of the 100 largest churches
in the world are 71.

407
00:19:57.000 --> 00:20:01.440 line:15% 
The average age of popes
when they become Pope is 78.

408
00:20:01.440 --> 00:20:05.160 line:15% 
And the best years of your life - are you ready for this

409
00:20:05.160 --> 00:20:07.890 line:15% 
<v ->are between 60 and 80 years.</v>

410
00:20:07.890 --> 00:20:10.080 line:15% 
Those are the best years of your life.

411
00:20:10.080 --> 00:20:13.590 line:15% 
And at 60 you begin to reach your potential

412
00:20:13.590 --> 00:20:17.580 line:15% 
and this continues into your 80's, which means if you're

413
00:20:17.580 --> 00:20:21.240 line:15% 
between 60 and 70, you're in the best mental years

414
00:20:21.240 --> 00:20:22.500 line:15% 
of your life.

415
00:20:22.500 --> 00:20:24.150 line:15% 
And if you're between 70

416
00:20:24.150 --> 00:20:27.990 line:15% 
and 80, you're in the 2nd best mental years of your life.

417
00:20:27.990 --> 00:20:30.750 line:15% 
Do you see how people have wrongly believed?

418
00:20:30.750 --> 00:20:34.530 line:15% 
We need to embrace even
what the statistics prove.

419
00:20:34.530 --> 00:20:37.350 line:15% 
Now, the first 30 years of your life,

420
00:20:37.350 --> 00:20:41.460 line:15% 
you spend your time learning. The second 30 years

421
00:20:41.460 --> 00:20:44.670 line:15% 
of your life, you spend your time doing.

422
00:20:44.670 --> 00:20:49.480 line:15% 
And God intends for us to use the last 30 years of our life

423
00:20:49.480 --> 00:20:52.270 line:15% 
to begin to help and to impart to others.

424
00:20:52.270 --> 00:20:54.670 line:15% 
But here's what I want you to see.

425
00:20:54.670 --> 00:20:59.200
If you are among those who are older, if you're 65

426
00:20:59.200 --> 00:21:03.730
or older, it's time to rethink your age

427
00:21:03.730 --> 00:21:06.070
and to embrace the fact that in front

428
00:21:06.070 --> 00:21:10.000
of you is possibly the
most productive season

429
00:21:10.000 --> 00:21:11.620 line:15% 
of your life.

430
00:21:11.620 --> 00:21:15.280 line:15% 
This is not a time for you
to move off the playing field

431
00:21:15.280 --> 00:21:18.490 line:15% 
and just surrender to old age. My friends,

432
00:21:18.490 --> 00:21:21.100 line:15% 
you've got more wisdom, you've got more experience.

433
00:21:21.100 --> 00:21:23.080 line:15% 
You brain is fully exercised.

434
00:21:23.080 --> 00:21:26.680 line:15% 
You are primed to be the most successful

435
00:21:26.680 --> 00:21:30.250 line:15% 
and the most productive that
you've ever been in your life.

436
00:21:30.250 --> 00:21:33.280 line:15% 
Your greatest years are in front of you.

437
00:21:33.280 --> 00:21:35.170
Oh, this is really good.

438
00:21:35.170 --> 00:21:38.500
Hey, I've got more to say
and then I'll be right back.

439
00:21:38.500 --> 00:21:41.500
<v ->The Lord promises to
satisfy us with long life</v>

440
00:21:41.500 --> 00:21:44.050
and salvation so we can rest assured.

441
00:21:44.050 --> 00:21:46.090
Aging is not something to dread.

442
00:21:46.090 --> 00:21:48.070
If you're not satisfied with your life,

443
00:21:48.070 --> 00:21:49.540
your life is not over.

444
00:21:49.540 --> 00:21:52.480
God will speak to you
and use you at any age.

445
00:21:52.480 --> 00:21:54.310
So don't throw in the towel.

446
00:21:54.310 --> 00:21:56.718
Learn how to live a long satisfying life.

447
00:21:56.718 --> 00:21:58.118
With Rick's series,

448
00:21:58.118 --> 00:22:00.370 line:15% 
How to Flourish in your Senior Years.

449
00:22:00.370 --> 00:22:02.410 line:15% 
This series teaches what God's promise

450
00:22:02.410 --> 00:22:04.030 line:15% 
of longevity really means

451
00:22:04.030 --> 00:22:07.780
and takes a closer look at the lives of: Enoch who was taken

452
00:22:07.780 --> 00:22:11.170
by God at 365 years of age:

453

473
00:23:12.430 --> 00:23:14.710
<v ->Hey, this is Rick
Renner and I am in Tulsa.</v>

474
00:23:14.710 --> 00:23:16.150
And look who's with me.

475
00:23:16.150 --> 00:23:19.870
This is part of our Tulsa
staff around the whole world.

476
00:23:19.870 --> 00:23:24.040
We have about 300 employees
that work in this ministry

477
00:23:24.040 --> 00:23:25.870
and that is amazing to me.

478
00:23:25.870 --> 00:23:27.880
Just look what the Lord has done

479
00:23:27.880 --> 00:23:30.430
and we're reaching people all
over the world in our various

480
00:23:30.430 --> 00:23:34.810
offices, but this is the
Tulsa team and they are heroes

481
00:23:34.810 --> 00:23:38.770
and they work every day in this building to minister to you

482
00:23:38.770 --> 00:23:40.150
by sending you resources,

483
00:23:40.150 --> 00:23:42.940
taking your calls, praying for you.

484
00:23:42.940 --> 00:23:44.435
And we're praying people, aren't we?

485
00:23:44.435 --> 00:23:47.180
Yes, we really are praying people,

486
00:23:47.180 --> 00:23:50.450
but God gave us this facility

487
00:23:50.450 --> 00:23:51.860
and we're trying to pay it off.

488
00:23:51.860 --> 00:23:56.860 line:15% 
And now we've already paid off 87%.

489
00:23:56.930 --> 00:23:59.030 line:15% 
We call it the Ministry Expansion Project

490
00:23:59.030 --> 00:24:01.820 line:15% 
because once we're finished
paying this debt off,

491
00:24:01.820 --> 00:24:05.570 line:15% 
it's gonna free finances so we
can take the trusted teaching

492
00:24:05.570 --> 00:24:08.090 line:15% 
to the Bible even further
to the ends of the earth.

493
00:24:08.090 --> 00:24:09.890 line:15% 
And that's our call.

494
00:24:09.890 --> 00:24:12.410 line:15% 
And if you're already a
member of the Giving Team

495
00:24:12.410 --> 00:24:15.530 line:15% 
to help us retire the debt
on this building, I just want

496
00:24:15.530 --> 00:24:18.620 line:15% 
to say thank you and we
all say thank you to you.

497
00:24:18.620 --> 00:24:21.290 line:15% 
And if you're not a part
of the Giving Team yet,

498
00:24:21.290 --> 00:24:23.480 line:15% 
I invite you today to join our Giving Team

499
00:24:23.480 --> 00:24:25.610 line:15% 
to help us retire the debt.

500
00:24:25.610 --> 00:24:27.200 line:15% 
It's really not about retiring the debt,

501
00:24:27.200 --> 00:24:29.510 line:15% 
it's about releasing finances

502
00:24:29.510 --> 00:24:31.640 line:15% 
so we can take the trusted
teaching of the Bible

503
00:24:31.640 --> 00:24:34.520 line:15% 
to more people that are crying out for it.

504
00:24:34.520 --> 00:24:36.380 line:15% 
So thank you for being a part of the team

505
00:24:36.380 --> 00:24:39.740 line:15% 
and please pray about joining our ministry team

506
00:24:39.740 --> 00:24:42.350 line:15% 
to retire the debt on this facility.

507
00:24:55.190 --> 00:24:58.010
Well today I have laid the foundation about how

508
00:24:58.010 --> 00:25:00.140
to flourish in your senior years.

509
00:25:00.140 --> 00:25:02.990
And when we come back in
the next episode, I'm going

510
00:25:02.990 --> 00:25:05.990
to begin to give you examples
of people from the Bible

511
00:25:05.990 --> 00:25:08.150
who live to a very old age

512
00:25:08.150 --> 00:25:12.350
and who experience the very
best in their senior years.

513
00:25:12.350 --> 00:25:14.390 line:15% 
But I want you to order the
series, which is called How

514
00:25:14.390 --> 00:25:16.100 line:15% 
to Flourish in Your Senior Years.

515
00:25:16.100 --> 00:25:17.840 line:15% 
Proof That God wants

516
00:25:17.840 --> 00:25:20.840 line:15% 
to use You Mildly As You age and mature.

517
00:25:20.840 --> 00:25:22.790 line:15% 
And remember that it
comes with a study guide

518
00:25:22.790 --> 00:25:25.550 line:15% 
and I want you to also order my book,

519
00:25:25.550 --> 00:25:28.910 line:15% 
which is called, A Life Ablaze - 10 Simple Keys

520
00:25:28.910 --> 00:25:32.540 line:15% 
to Living on Fire for God.

521
00:25:32.540 --> 00:25:34.820 line:15% 
You can order these things by going online

522
00:25:34.820 --> 00:25:36.110
or by giving us a call.

523
00:25:36.110 --> 00:25:37.880 line:15% 
And please, when you reach out to us,

524
00:25:37.880 --> 00:25:39.650 line:15% 
let us know how to pray for you.

525
00:25:39.650 --> 00:25:40.760 line:15% 
We're praying people

526
00:25:40.760 --> 00:25:43.730 line:15% 
and we're waiting to
pray for you right now.

527
00:25:43.730 --> 00:25:46.190 line:15% 
The Bible tells us in 1 John 5:14

528
00:25:46.190 --> 00:25:48.680 line:15% 
that if we pray anything according to his will -

529
00:25:48.680 --> 00:25:51.590 line:15% 
and we know how to do that - he hears us.

530
00:25:51.590 --> 00:25:54.110 line:15% 
And if he hears us, then we're guaranteed

531
00:25:54.110 --> 00:25:57.260 line:15% 
to have the petitions
that we asked of him.

532
00:25:57.260 --> 00:25:59.120 line:15% 
We'll pray with you scripturally.

533
00:25:59.120 --> 00:26:01.070 line:15% 
I know you can pray by yourself,

534
00:26:01.070 --> 00:26:04.550 line:15% 
but sometimes it really helps
to have somebody pray with you

535
00:26:04.550 --> 00:26:05.810 line:15% 
and we will pray with you.

536
00:26:05.810 --> 00:26:08.390 line:15% 
We will release our
faith. God will hear us.

537
00:26:08.390 --> 00:26:11.630 line:15% 
And as I always tell you,
Jesus will do exactly

538
00:26:11.630 --> 00:26:12.950 line:15% 
what needs to be done.

539
00:26:12.950 --> 00:26:16.370 line:15% 
So call the number on the
screen or send us an email

540
00:26:16.370 --> 00:26:17.870 line:15% 
and let me pray for you right now.

541
00:26:17.870 --> 00:26:19.460 line:15% 
Put your hand on your heart.

542
00:26:19.460 --> 00:26:21.140 line:15% 
Father, I thank you that

543
00:26:21.140 --> 00:26:24.440 line:15% 
as we approach the more
mature years of our life,

544
00:26:24.440 --> 00:26:27.380 line:15% 
it's not time for us to
just sit down and quit.

545
00:26:27.380 --> 00:26:31.610 line:15% 
This is the best season we're
equipped. We're more mature.

546
00:26:31.610 --> 00:26:33.020 line:15% 
We know what to do.

547
00:26:33.020 --> 00:26:36.350 line:15% 
And Father, help us to
embrace these golden years

548
00:26:36.350 --> 00:26:39.920 line:15% 
as really the golden years,
the best years of our life,

549
00:26:39.920 --> 00:26:43.470 line:15% 
and to help others in Jesus' wonderful name -

550
00:26:45.150 --> 00:26:47.400 line:15% 
Amen. Well, when we come back tomorrow, we're going

551
00:26:47.400 --> 00:26:50.550
to look at the example of Enoch, a man

552
00:26:50.550 --> 00:26:54.690
who hit his prime at 365 years of age.

553
00:26:54.690 --> 00:26:56.880
It's gonna be good, so I'll see you tomorrow.

554
00:26:56.880 --> 00:27:00.240
But remember Ecclesiastes 8:4 says, "Where the word

555
00:27:00.240 --> 00:27:03.510
of a king is, there is power."

556
00:27:03.510 --> 00:27:05.790
If you've never received
Jesus as your Savior

557
00:27:05.790 --> 00:27:09.510 line:15% 
and Lord, now is the time for
you to experience a new life

558
00:27:09.510 --> 00:27:11.130
Jesus has to give you.

559
00:27:11.130 --> 00:27:15.210 line:15% 
Pray this prayer with me right now: Lord, I repent of my sin

560
00:27:15.210 --> 00:27:19.470
and receive you as my Savior and Lord. Wash away my sin

561
00:27:19.470 --> 00:27:21.870
and make me completely new.

562
00:27:21.870 --> 00:27:25.050
I thank you that my sin is removed

563
00:27:25.050 --> 00:27:29.850
and Satan no longer has any
right to lay claim on me.

564
00:27:29.850 --> 00:27:33.210
I faithfully promise that
I will serve you as my Lord

565
00:27:33.210 --> 00:27:35.640
for the rest of my life - Amen.

566
00:27:36.510 --> 00:27:39.150
<v ->If you just prayed the prayer of salvation with us,</v>

567
00:27:39.150 --> 00:27:40.830
would you please let us know by going

568
00:27:40.830 --> 00:27:43.200

569
