00:00:01.290 --> 00:00:04.020
This program is made
possible by the giving
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 --> 00:00:26.130
but dive deep revealing a
truth that strengthens us,
9
00:00:27.000 --> 00:00:28.920
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 --> 00:00:36.060
Let's join Rick Renner.
12
00:00:38.730 --> 00:00:40.110
Welcome to today's program.
13
00:00:40.110 --> 00:00:41.550
My name is Rick Renner
14
00:00:41.550 --> 00:00:43.920
and my friend, I've been
waiting to rendezvous
15
00:00:43.920 --> 00:00:45.000
with you right here
16
00:00:45.000 --> 00:00:48.360
because today we're gonna keep talking about, How
17
00:00:48.360 --> 00:00:52.140 line:15%
To Flourish In Your Senior Years.
18
00:00:52.140 --> 00:00:53.940 line:15%
And there on the cover of this series,
19
00:00:53.940 --> 00:00:55.350 line:15%
I have these giant redwoods.
20
00:00:55.350 --> 00:00:58.530 line:15%
I love the redwoods
because they're so massive
21
00:00:58.530 --> 00:00:59.880 line:15%
and they're so tall
22
00:00:59.880 --> 00:01:03.450 line:15%
and some of them are over 4,000 years old
23
00:01:03.450 --> 00:01:05.580 line:15%
and they just keep
getting bigger and bigger
24
00:01:05.580 --> 00:01:06.630 line:15%
and bigger and bigger.
25
00:01:06.630 --> 00:01:10.500
And my friends, the age of
their redwoods has arrived.
26
00:01:10.500 --> 00:01:14.610
God is calling on his
people to embrace longevity
27
00:01:14.610 --> 00:01:19.170
and not just to get old, to
be mighty as they get older.
28
00:01:19.170 --> 00:01:22.380 line:15%
And that's why the subtitle says, Proof that God wants
29
00:01:22.380 --> 00:01:24.810 line:15%
to use you mightily as you age
30
00:01:24.810 --> 00:01:28.290 line:15%
and to mature. Please order this 10-part series, which comes
31
00:01:28.290 --> 00:01:29.640 line:15%
with a wonderful study guide.
32
00:01:29.640 --> 00:01:33.210 line:15%
You really need to get this
teaching down deep inside you.
33
00:01:33.210 --> 00:01:35.250 line:15%
Now you might say, well,
you know what? I'm younger.
34
00:01:35.250 --> 00:01:37.530 line:15%
This really doesn't
have application to me.
35
00:01:37.530 --> 00:01:39.270 line:15%
Well, you know people that are older
36
00:01:39.270 --> 00:01:42.300 line:15%
and you need to encourage
them to embrace longevity
37
00:01:42.300 --> 00:01:44.310 line:15%
and to be mighty as they get older.
38
00:01:44.310 --> 00:01:47.040 line:15%
And one of these days,
you're gonna get older,
39
00:01:47.040 --> 00:01:49.080 line:15%
and this is the time for you to begin
40
00:01:49.080 --> 00:01:52.320 line:15%
to renew your mind about the more mature
41
00:01:52.320 --> 00:01:54.060 line:15%
years in front of you.
42
00:01:54.060 --> 00:01:56.010 line:15%
But right now, we're also
offering you my book,
43
00:01:56.010 --> 00:01:57.990 line:15%
which is called, A Life Ablaze.
44
00:01:57.990 --> 00:02:00.780 line:15%
What a great book to
offer with this series
45
00:02:00.780 --> 00:02:03.540 line:15%
because God wants you to be ablaze clear
46
00:02:03.540 --> 00:02:05.130 line:15%
to the end of your life.
47
00:02:05.130 --> 00:02:06.240 line:15%
What a mistake
48
00:02:06.240 --> 00:02:10.230 line:15%
and tragedy that people have
a wonderful fiery experience
49
00:02:10.230 --> 00:02:11.370 line:15%
with God when they're younger
50
00:02:11.370 --> 00:02:12.780 line:15%
and then when they get older,
51
00:02:12.780 --> 00:02:15.180 line:15%
it becomes a dull spiritual life.
52
00:02:15.180 --> 00:02:16.500 line:15%
No, no, no, no, no.
53
00:02:16.500 --> 00:02:21.030 line:15%
God wants you to be a life ablaze all the way to the end.
54
00:02:21.030 --> 00:02:22.800 line:15%
You say, well, how do I do that?
55
00:02:22.800 --> 00:02:25.260 line:15%
Well, the subtitle says, 10-Simple keys
56
00:02:25.260 --> 00:02:28.020 line:15%
to Living on Fire for God.
57
00:02:28.020 --> 00:02:32.940 line:15%
This book will help you know
how to remain A Life Ablaze,
58
00:02:32.940 --> 00:02:35.580 line:15%
but you can order all these
things by going online
59
00:02:35.580 --> 00:02:36.840 line:15%
or by giving us a call.
60
00:02:36.840 --> 00:02:38.400 line:15%
And as I always tell you,
61
00:02:38.400 --> 00:02:40.530 line:15%
please let us know how to pray for you.
62
00:02:40.530 --> 00:02:42.420 line:15%
We're waiting to pray for you right now.
63
00:02:42.420 --> 00:02:44.640 line:15%
In fact, our prayer department is one
64
00:02:44.640 --> 00:02:47.400 line:15%
of the most exciting
parts of our ministry.
65
00:02:47.400 --> 00:02:49.410 line:15%
When I walk through that
particular department
66
00:02:49.410 --> 00:02:52.710 line:15%
of our ministry, it's like
a roar coming from every
67
00:02:52.710 --> 00:02:57.090 line:15%
direction as our prayer team
is really aggressively praying
68
00:02:57.090 --> 00:02:58.620 line:15%
for those who reach out to us.
69
00:02:58.620 --> 00:03:01.720 line:15%
And I promise if you reach out to us
70
00:03:01.720 --> 00:03:03.400 line:15%
by calling the number on the screen
71
00:03:03.400 --> 00:03:05.050 line:15%
or by sending us an email,
72
00:03:05.050 --> 00:03:09.220 line:15%
you will not get away from
us without somebody really,
73
00:03:09.220 --> 00:03:11.590 line:15%
really fervently praying for you.
74
00:03:11.590 --> 00:03:13.030 line:15%
And God will hear us
75
00:03:13.030 --> 00:03:16.780 line:15%
and Jesus will do exactly what needs
76
00:03:16.780 --> 00:03:19.960 line:15%
to be done in your life.
77
00:03:19.960 --> 00:03:22.780 line:15%
Amen. So call us or send us an email,
78
00:03:22.780 --> 00:03:24.430 line:15%
but reach for your Bible
79
00:03:24.430 --> 00:03:26.950 line:15%
because today we're gonna be looking at a lot of scriptures.
80
00:03:26.950 --> 00:03:30.370 line:15%
And today we're gonna be talking about Enoch, a man
81
00:03:30.370 --> 00:03:34.570 line:15%
who was taken by God at 365
82
00:03:34.570 --> 00:03:36.340
years of age.
83
00:03:36.340 --> 00:03:40.750
Wow. But when we come to Psalm 91:16,
84
00:03:40.750 --> 00:03:44.620
and I intend to review this verse every day of this series,
85
00:03:44.620 --> 00:03:48.370
it says - with long life, will I satisfy him
86
00:03:48.370 --> 00:03:50.740
and show him my salvation.
87
00:03:50.740 --> 00:03:52.930
But notice is not just long life,
88
00:03:52.930 --> 00:03:55.570
God wants to show you his salvation.
89
00:03:55.570 --> 00:03:57.790
That word salvation is a package.
90
00:03:57.790 --> 00:04:02.080 line:15%
It includes prosperity, it includes mental soundness,
91
00:04:02.080 --> 00:04:04.660 line:15%
it includes health, which
means God doesn't want you
92
00:04:04.660 --> 00:04:06.580 line:15%
to get old and become feeble.
93
00:04:06.580 --> 00:04:09.580 line:15%
God wants to show you his salvation.
94
00:04:09.580 --> 00:04:13.300 line:15%
He wants you to experience
the full package all the way
95
00:04:13.300 --> 00:04:14.560
to the end of your life.
96
00:04:14.560 --> 00:04:17.770
And the first of the verse
says, with long life,
97
00:04:17.770 --> 00:04:19.180
will I satisfy him?
98
00:04:19.180 --> 00:04:21.580
That is God crying out to you.
99
00:04:21.580 --> 00:04:23.140
God is saying, Hey, don't check out too
100
00:04:23.140 --> 00:04:24.610
early with long life.
101
00:04:24.610 --> 00:04:26.530
I want to satisfy you.
102
00:04:26.530 --> 00:04:30.280
And the word long here is from
a word that speaks of length
103
00:04:30.280 --> 00:04:33.310
of days or longevity.
104
00:04:33.310 --> 00:04:35.620
The word life in Hebrew really is the word
105
00:04:35.620 --> 00:04:37.900
for days. As a phrase,
106
00:04:37.900 --> 00:04:40.840
the words, long life, depicts long days
107
00:04:40.840 --> 00:04:44.200
or a very, very, very long life.
108
00:04:44.200 --> 00:04:46.780
And so you understand this
verse to mean with a very,
109
00:04:46.780 --> 00:04:51.010
very long life, will I satisfy him.
110
00:04:51.010 --> 00:04:53.500
And the word, satisfy, is from a word which means
111
00:04:53.500 --> 00:04:56.650
to have enough to have plenty of
112
00:04:56.650 --> 00:05:00.280
or to be fully satisfied,
which means you don't have
113
00:05:00.280 --> 00:05:03.520
to leave this earth
until you are satisfied
114
00:05:03.520 --> 00:05:05.740
and you are ready to go.
115
00:05:05.740 --> 00:05:07.690
You say, Brother Rick, are you really telling the truth?
116
00:05:07.690 --> 00:05:09.250
That is the promise of God.
117
00:05:09.250 --> 00:05:11.890
The problem is people
have not renewed their
118
00:05:11.890 --> 00:05:13.570
mind to the truth.
119
00:05:13.570 --> 00:05:18.040
People have wrongly believed that Psalm 90:10 applies
120
00:05:18.040 --> 00:05:21.430
to all of us where God was
speaking to a disgruntled,
121
00:05:21.430 --> 00:05:24.790
disobedient generation of Israeli people.
122
00:05:24.790 --> 00:05:27.790
And God was saying to the Jews, I'm gonna limit your life
123
00:05:27.790 --> 00:05:29.620
to 70 or 80 years,
124
00:05:29.620 --> 00:05:31.480
because he didn't want them to walk
125
00:05:31.480 --> 00:05:34.480
around in misery in
the wilderness forever.
126
00:05:34.480 --> 00:05:37.300
So God said, I'm gonna
put a cap on their age.
127
00:05:37.300 --> 00:05:38.920
But when the younger generation
128
00:05:38.920 --> 00:05:42.190
after them went into the land
of promise, they lived much,
129
00:05:42.190 --> 00:05:43.720
much longer than 70
130
00:05:43.720 --> 00:05:47.950
or 80 years; they lived until they were satisfied.
131
00:05:47.950 --> 00:05:50.140
So don't believe the wrong verse.
132
00:05:50.140 --> 00:05:53.620
You gotta know who Psalm 91:10 is speaking to
133
00:05:53.620 --> 00:05:55.030
and why God said it.
134
00:05:55.030 --> 00:05:56.870
That's not a verse for you.
135
00:05:56.870 --> 00:05:59.300
God was speaking to the disgruntled Jews
136
00:05:59.300 --> 00:06:02.840
and in his mercy he was
putting a cap on their life
137
00:06:02.840 --> 00:06:06.680
because they were so
miserable and so disobedient.
138
00:06:06.680 --> 00:06:08.780
That's not a verse for you to claim,
139
00:06:08.780 --> 00:06:12.620
but that's the verse which I
heard when I was growing up in
140
00:06:12.620 --> 00:06:15.230
church that God promised us a 70.
141
00:06:15.230 --> 00:06:18.410
And if you're lucky, maybe 80 years,
142
00:06:18.410 --> 00:06:22.130
so when people hit about 60, they begin to think old.
143
00:06:22.130 --> 00:06:24.140
They begin to look old.
144
00:06:24.140 --> 00:06:26.660
I remember looking at my grandmother Renner thinking, she is
145
00:06:26.660 --> 00:06:29.570
so old, and she was just 60 years old.
146
00:06:29.570 --> 00:06:32.450
But people back in those days really thought old
147
00:06:32.450 --> 00:06:36.050
and they began to look old
and they begin to behave old.
148
00:06:36.050 --> 00:06:39.980
And they all live to be
about 70 or maybe 80 years.
149
00:06:39.980 --> 00:06:42.620
But today, people are living longer
150
00:06:42.620 --> 00:06:46.130
because people are renewing
their mind to the fact
151
00:06:46.130 --> 00:06:49.040
that they can live much
longer and fuller lives.
152
00:06:49.040 --> 00:06:53.810
But Psalm 91:16 promises we can live
153
00:06:53.810 --> 00:06:57.020
until we are satisfied.
154
00:06:57.020 --> 00:06:58.580
But the blessings
155
00:06:58.580 --> 00:07:01.730
of long life is promised
throughout scripture.
156
00:07:01.730 --> 00:07:04.850
And yesterday I gave you
very important verses
157
00:07:04.850 --> 00:07:09.140
that promise long life to
those who love God, to those
158
00:07:09.140 --> 00:07:12.770
who walk faithfully and to those who obey the word of God.
159
00:07:12.770 --> 00:07:14.240
But today I want to tell you again
160
00:07:14.240 --> 00:07:17.510
that new studies show you say, brother Rick,
161
00:07:17.510 --> 00:07:19.520
you've already told us this
in yesterday's program.
162
00:07:19.520 --> 00:07:22.070
I'm gonna tell you
every day of this series
163
00:07:22.070 --> 00:07:25.040
because I really want this
to get down deep inside you.
164
00:07:25.040 --> 00:07:28.610 line:15%
And new scientific studies show
165
00:07:28.610 --> 00:07:32.480 line:15%
that the most productive age is from 60
166
00:07:32.480 --> 00:07:34.100 line:15%
to 70 years.
167
00:07:35.240 --> 00:07:37.400
Now, that's a different way of thinking.
168
00:07:37.400 --> 00:07:41.000 line:15%
The most productive age
is from 60 to 70 years.
169
00:07:41.000 --> 00:07:45.200 line:15%
The 2nd most productive age is from 70
170
00:07:45.200 --> 00:07:48.980 line:15%
to 80 years of life, which
means when you're 70 to 80,
171
00:07:48.980 --> 00:07:51.590 line:15%
you're in the 2nd most productive season of your life.
172
00:07:51.590 --> 00:07:55.940 line:15%
The 3rd most productive stage of life is between 50
173
00:07:55.940 --> 00:07:57.260 line:15%
and 60 years.
174
00:07:57.260 --> 00:08:00.050 line:15%
And it's interesting that when
people are in their 50's
175
00:08:00.050 --> 00:08:02.540
and 60's, they're usually thinking about retirement.
176
00:08:02.540 --> 00:08:05.360
That is not a time to start
thinking about retirement.
177
00:08:05.360 --> 00:08:08.390
It's good for you to prepare
financially for your future,
178
00:08:08.390 --> 00:08:10.250
but according to these statistics,
179
00:08:10.250 --> 00:08:13.550
you're gonna hit your peak
somewhere between your 60's
180
00:08:13.550 --> 00:08:14.570
and your 70's.
181
00:08:14.570 --> 00:08:17.030
And in fact, when you're between 60
182
00:08:17.030 --> 00:08:21.020
and 70, you're in the best
mental stage of your life.
183
00:08:21.020 --> 00:08:22.400
And when you're between 70
184
00:08:22.400 --> 00:08:25.880
and 80, you're in the 2nd best mental stage of your life.
185
00:08:25.880 --> 00:08:28.490 line:15%
But wait, there's more. The average age
186
00:08:28.490 --> 00:08:32.810 line:15%
of Nobel Prize winners
is their late 60's
187
00:08:32.810 --> 00:08:35.030 line:15%
and early 70's.
188
00:08:35.030 --> 00:08:37.460 line:15%
What if they surrendered and
quit working earlier in life?
189
00:08:37.460 --> 00:08:40.040 line:15%
They would've missed their best years.
190
00:08:40.040 --> 00:08:42.260 line:15%
The average age of presidents
191
00:08:42.260 --> 00:08:46.850 line:15%
of large corporations is in their 60's.
192
00:08:46.850 --> 00:08:48.980 line:15%
The average age of the pastors
193
00:08:48.980 --> 00:08:52.820 line:15%
of the 100 largest
churches in the world is
194
00:08:52.820 --> 00:08:54.530 line:15%
71.
195
00:08:54.530 --> 00:08:57.330 line:15%
Think of how many pastors retire earlier
196
00:08:57.330 --> 00:08:59.100
and they miss their best years.
197
00:09:00.270 --> 00:09:03.780
The average age of the 100
largest churches in the world,
198
00:09:03.780 --> 00:09:07.980 line:15%
the pastors are 71. The average age
199
00:09:07.980 --> 00:09:11.160 line:15%
of popes when they become Popes, age 78.
200
00:09:11.160 --> 00:09:14.910 line:15%
Wow. And the best years
of your life, according
201
00:09:14.910 --> 00:09:18.210 line:15%
to all these statistics are between 60
202
00:09:18.210 --> 00:09:19.980 line:15%
and 80 years.
203
00:09:19.980 --> 00:09:24.450 line:15%
And I want to say that
at age 60, you begin
204
00:09:24.450 --> 00:09:26.520 line:15%
to reach your potential
205
00:09:26.520 --> 00:09:30.060 line:15%
and it continues into your 80's.
206
00:09:31.230 --> 00:09:33.870 line:15%
You know, if you're over 60
years, you should embrace that
207
00:09:33.870 --> 00:09:38.220 line:15%
by faith and declare, wow,
the best is yet to come.
208
00:09:38.220 --> 00:09:41.580
My friends we're told in Mark 9,
209
00:09:41.580 --> 00:09:43.830 line:15%
that we receive what we believe.
210
00:09:43.830 --> 00:09:46.440 line:15%
So we need to make sure we're
believing the right thing.
211
00:09:46.440 --> 00:09:48.480 line:15%
And I say the first 30 years
212
00:09:48.480 --> 00:09:51.000 line:15%
of our life is our time to learn.
213
00:09:51.000 --> 00:09:54.300 line:15%
The second 30 years of our
life is our time to do.
214
00:09:54.300 --> 00:09:55.590 line:15%
It's time to work.
215
00:09:55.590 --> 00:09:58.950 line:15%
And the last 30 years of our
life is the moment where we're
216
00:09:58.950 --> 00:10:00.120 line:15%
to impart to others
217
00:10:00.120 --> 00:10:02.670 line:15%
and help others, which means, we ought to shoot
218
00:10:02.670 --> 00:10:07.440
for about 90 years. But age makes us better
219
00:10:07.440 --> 00:10:10.080
and it gives us more time for growth.
220
00:10:10.080 --> 00:10:13.650
And it is a grave mistake for older people
221
00:10:13.650 --> 00:10:18.450
to believe they're irrelevant due to their age.
222
00:10:18.450 --> 00:10:22.890
What a lie of the devil. You finally know what you're doing.
223
00:10:22.890 --> 00:10:25.920
You've lived all your
life, you have wisdom,
224
00:10:25.920 --> 00:10:28.140
you understand what's right, what's wrong,
225
00:10:28.140 --> 00:10:29.670
and now you're telling yourself
226
00:10:29.670 --> 00:10:31.860
that you're irrelevant due to age.
227
00:10:31.860 --> 00:10:35.970
And it is so tragic that people move off the playing field
228
00:10:35.970 --> 00:10:37.980
and set on the sidelines
229
00:10:37.980 --> 00:10:41.520
before they reach the age that
holds the greatest anointing
230
00:10:41.520 --> 00:10:43.050
and the greatest revelation
231
00:10:43.050 --> 00:10:47.010
and the greatest season of
productivity for their life.
232
00:10:47.010 --> 00:10:51.180
And we're told in Psalm 84:7, that God's plan is
233
00:10:51.180 --> 00:10:54.300
for us to go from strength to
strength: not from strength
234
00:10:54.300 --> 00:10:57.720
to weakness, not from strength to sickness,
235
00:10:57.720 --> 00:10:59.580
not from strength to being feeble.
236
00:10:59.580 --> 00:11:03.420
God's greatest plan for us, according to Psalm 84:
237
00:11:03.420 --> 00:11:06.630
7, is to go from strength to strength.
238
00:11:06.630 --> 00:11:10.860
And finally, in our time,
people are beginning
239
00:11:10.860 --> 00:11:13.650
to change the way they think about age.
240
00:11:13.650 --> 00:11:15.810
Part of this is due to diet.
241
00:11:15.810 --> 00:11:18.150
Part of this is due to cosmetic surgery.
242
00:11:18.150 --> 00:11:19.920
Part of this is just different
243
00:11:19.920 --> 00:11:21.300
because people are living longer
244
00:11:21.300 --> 00:11:22.860
and they're changing the
way they think they want
245
00:11:22.860 --> 00:11:24.540
to be relevant much longer.
246
00:11:24.540 --> 00:11:27.300
But finally, the perspective
of age is beginning to change.
247
00:11:27.300 --> 00:11:31.860
And as a result, many people really are living longer lives;
248
00:11:31.860 --> 00:11:34.140
they really are. All around us
249
00:11:34.140 --> 00:11:35.640
today is a cloud
250
00:11:35.640 --> 00:11:40.350
of contemporary witnesses who've run long races
251
00:11:40.350 --> 00:11:42.150
and who are still running strong
252
00:11:42.150 --> 00:11:46.410
and serving robustly into years way beyond
253
00:11:46.410 --> 00:11:48.930
what others consider to be the norm.
254
00:11:48.930 --> 00:11:52.320
I even look around to me at
some of the fellow preachers
255
00:11:52.320 --> 00:11:54.760
and people on, and my goodness, some
256
00:11:54.760 --> 00:11:56.170
of them are really getting older.
257
00:11:56.170 --> 00:11:59.560
And guess what? They're
robust. They're vibrant.
258
00:11:59.560 --> 00:12:01.810
I think about Brother Copeland.
259
00:12:01.810 --> 00:12:04.600
Brother Copeland can run circles around people.
260
00:12:04.600 --> 00:12:09.100
That man is so robust and I can make a very, very long list.
261
00:12:09.100 --> 00:12:11.410
And what an example they are to us.
262
00:12:11.410 --> 00:12:13.780
And today we're surrounded by examples,
263
00:12:13.780 --> 00:12:16.630
contemporary examples of
people that are living longer,
264
00:12:16.630 --> 00:12:18.970
vibrant, and robust lives,
265
00:12:18.970 --> 00:12:21.730
and they're setting the
standard for the rest of us.
266
00:12:21.730 --> 00:12:22.750
I say amen.
267
00:12:22.750 --> 00:12:24.820
I say thank you to every one of them
268
00:12:24.820 --> 00:12:27.250
for the example which they're giving us.
269
00:12:27.250 --> 00:12:32.200
And because of their remarkable examples, we are now seeing
270
00:12:32.200 --> 00:12:36.730
that it really is possible to
live a long and strong race
271
00:12:36.730 --> 00:12:38.500
and become more valuable
272
00:12:38.500 --> 00:12:41.050
and usable to the very end of our life
273
00:12:41.050 --> 00:12:43.300
with God's grace upon us.
274
00:12:43.300 --> 00:12:47.620
So don't buy into the lie. It is a lie
275
00:12:47.620 --> 00:12:50.050
that God only promised you 70
276
00:12:50.050 --> 00:12:54.340
and maybe if you're lucky, 80 years of life.
277
00:12:54.340 --> 00:12:57.430
And the truth is, if you aim only for 70
278
00:12:57.430 --> 00:13:01.480
or 80 years, that's
probably what you'll get.
279
00:13:01.480 --> 00:13:05.440
But if you shoot for a longer life: maybe 90 or 100
280
00:13:05.440 --> 00:13:08.980
and 120 years, you'll
come a lot closer to it.
281
00:13:08.980 --> 00:13:12.340
So your aim, my friend,
is very, very important.
282
00:13:12.340 --> 00:13:16.990
You need to aim to stay spiritually vibrant, physically fit,
283
00:13:16.990 --> 00:13:19.480
engaged in God-given relationships
284
00:13:19.480 --> 00:13:22.810
and on track with God's word and God's spirit.
285
00:13:22.810 --> 00:13:26.830
All of these factors
are vital for longevity.
286
00:13:26.830 --> 00:13:29.380
And remember, Mark 9:23 says,
287
00:13:29.380 --> 00:13:31.900
All things are possible to him that believeth.
288
00:13:31.900 --> 00:13:35.260
So you need to make sure you're believing the right thing.
289
00:13:35.260 --> 00:13:36.700
If you believe for a short life,
290
00:13:36.700 --> 00:13:37.870
that's probably what you'll have.
291
00:13:37.870 --> 00:13:41.020
If you believe for a long
life until you're satisfied,
292
00:13:41.020 --> 00:13:43.300
you'll come a lot closer to it.
293
00:13:43.300 --> 00:13:45.940
But my friends, this is so very important
294
00:13:45.940 --> 00:13:48.400
that we also take care of ourselves.
295
00:13:48.400 --> 00:13:49.510
You know that's a big factor.
296
00:13:49.510 --> 00:13:51.550
If you don't eat right, if you don't move,
297
00:13:51.550 --> 00:13:52.990
you're gonna become immobile.
298
00:13:52.990 --> 00:13:54.850
You've gotta take care of yourself.
299
00:13:54.850 --> 00:13:57.370
And we're told in Mark 12:30,
300
00:13:57.370 --> 00:13:59.530
Jesus quoting the Old Testament,
301
00:13:59.530 --> 00:14:02.050
Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart -
302
00:14:02.050 --> 00:14:05.350
so your heart's gotta be in good shape - with all thy soul
303
00:14:05.350 --> 00:14:08.200
that's your mind - with all thy mind.
304
00:14:08.200 --> 00:14:09.940
So here you have your mind and your spirit
305
00:14:09.940 --> 00:14:11.080
and all thy strength.
306
00:14:11.080 --> 00:14:12.340
That is your body.
307
00:14:12.340 --> 00:14:15.490
You've gotta take care of your
whole being if you're going
308
00:14:15.490 --> 00:14:16.870
to live a long life.
309
00:14:16.870 --> 00:14:19.690
But let's look at the example of Enoch,
310
00:14:19.690 --> 00:14:21.550
because Enoch lived a very long life
311
00:14:21.550 --> 00:14:25.120
and really hit his peak at age 365.
312
00:14:25.120 --> 00:14:28.000
So let's go to Genesis 5:18
313
00:14:28.000 --> 00:14:30.220
when the name, Enoch, 1st shows up in the Bible
314
00:14:30.220 --> 00:14:34.270
and it says, Jared lived 160 and 2 years
315
00:14:34.270 --> 00:14:35.620
and begat Enoch,
316
00:14:35.620 --> 00:14:36.850
that was his son.
317
00:14:38.080 --> 00:14:40.450
The name, Enoch, means to teach or to correct.
318
00:14:40.450 --> 00:14:43.300
And we know that during Enoch's time, he tried
319
00:14:43.300 --> 00:14:45.820
to bring a correction to a generation
320
00:14:45.820 --> 00:14:50.290
that was really experiencing very dark nefarious activities.
321
00:14:50.290 --> 00:14:53.000
But when you come to Genesis 5:21,
322
00:14:53.000 --> 00:14:54.710
it tells us more about Enoch.
323
00:14:54.710 --> 00:14:59.150
It says, an Enoch lives 60 and years and begat Methuselah.
324
00:14:59.150 --> 00:15:03.530
So he was 65 years old when his son, Methuselah, was born.
325
00:15:03.530 --> 00:15:07.280
And the name Methuselah, also had a prophetic meaning means
326
00:15:07.280 --> 00:15:08.990
when he dies, it will come.
327
00:15:08.990 --> 00:15:13.010
And it meant that his name
declared that when he died,
328
00:15:13.010 --> 00:15:15.170
that's when judgment would come.
329
00:15:15.170 --> 00:15:17.210
God had told that to Enoch,
330
00:15:17.210 --> 00:15:18.860
but as long as Methuselah lived,
331
00:15:18.860 --> 00:15:21.020
judgment would be restrained.
332
00:15:21.020 --> 00:15:23.000
But again, the longevity
333
00:15:23.000 --> 00:15:26.630
of Methuselah's life demonstrated God's forbearance
334
00:15:26.630 --> 00:15:29.450
and not wish to judge the human race.
335
00:15:29.450 --> 00:15:32.210
But the Bible goes on to tell us in Genesis 5:
336
00:15:32.210 --> 00:15:36.650
22-24 - And Enoch walked with God and
337
00:15:36.650 --> 00:15:40.370
after he begat Methuselah,
he lived another 300 years
338
00:15:40.370 --> 00:15:41.900
and begat sons and daughters
339
00:15:41.900 --> 00:15:44.210
and all the days of Enoch were
340
00:15:44.210 --> 00:15:46.940
365 years.
341
00:15:46.940 --> 00:15:48.770
So he lived 365 years.
342
00:15:48.770 --> 00:15:50.900
And then the Bible importantly tells us,
343
00:15:50.900 --> 00:15:53.510
and Enoch walked with God.
344
00:15:53.510 --> 00:15:54.740
Now wait a minute. You remember
345
00:15:54.740 --> 00:15:56.570
what we saw in yesterday's program?
346
00:15:56.570 --> 00:15:59.000
If you obey the word of
God, if you walk faithfully,
347
00:15:59.000 --> 00:16:01.190
you will prolong your days.
348
00:16:01.190 --> 00:16:05.210
Well, this verse says He walked with God and was not
349
00:16:05.210 --> 00:16:09.380
for God took him. Walking
with God prolonged his days.
350
00:16:09.380 --> 00:16:14.360
But not only that, at
the age of 365 years,
351
00:16:14.360 --> 00:16:18.770
he experienced something no
one else had ever experienced.
352
00:16:18.770 --> 00:16:23.770
It says God took him.
What happened to Enoch?
353
00:16:24.170 --> 00:16:26.210
Well, in Genesis 5:24,
354
00:16:26.210 --> 00:16:29.840
we have the 1st recorded Rapture in the Bible.
355
00:16:29.840 --> 00:16:31.670
People who today mock the idea
356
00:16:31.670 --> 00:16:33.530
of a rapture don't know scripture
357
00:16:33.530 --> 00:16:35.000
because the 1st rapture
358
00:16:35.000 --> 00:16:37.820
that took place in scripture occurred in the life
359
00:16:37.820 --> 00:16:40.400
of Enoch when God literally raptured him
360
00:16:40.400 --> 00:16:42.860
or God caught him away into heaven.
361
00:16:42.860 --> 00:16:44.750
And in fact, Enoch never died.
362
00:16:44.750 --> 00:16:46.640
He is still alive to this day,
363
00:16:46.640 --> 00:16:49.580
which means even though
his son Methuselah lived
364
00:16:49.580 --> 00:16:53.480
to be 969 years and then
died, Enoch never died.
365
00:16:53.480 --> 00:16:55.400
So he's the longest man to ever live.
366
00:16:55.400 --> 00:16:57.770
He is still in heaven
in his physical body,
367
00:16:57.770 --> 00:17:00.410
about 5,000 years old.
368
00:17:00.410 --> 00:17:03.890
But when you come to Hebrews 11:5,
369
00:17:03.890 --> 00:17:08.510
it tells us about a wake-up moment in Enoch's life.
370
00:17:08.510 --> 00:17:11.840
It says by faith, Enoch was translated
371
00:17:11.840 --> 00:17:15.140
that he should not see
death and was not found
372
00:17:15.140 --> 00:17:17.870
because God had translated him for
373
00:17:17.870 --> 00:17:22.040
before his translation,
he had this testimony
374
00:17:22.040 --> 00:17:23.240
that he pleased God.
375
00:17:23.240 --> 00:17:25.970
But notice the word, translation shows up 3-
376
00:17:25.970 --> 00:17:27.620
times in this verse.
377
00:17:27.620 --> 00:17:30.140
He was translated that
he should not see death
378
00:17:30.140 --> 00:17:33.140
and was not found because
God had translated him for
379
00:17:33.140 --> 00:17:35.150
before his translation,
380
00:17:35.150 --> 00:17:37.340
he had this testimony that he pleased God.
381
00:17:37.340 --> 00:17:40.790
Well, in all 3 instances, the word translation means
382
00:17:40.790 --> 00:17:42.740
to translate or to transfer.
383
00:17:42.740 --> 00:17:44.450
He was literally translated
384
00:17:44.450 --> 00:17:47.930
or transferred from the earth realm into the heavenly realm.
385
00:17:47.930 --> 00:17:50.197
And the Bible says he was not found.
386
00:17:50.197 --> 00:17:51.379
The word, not, in Greek is
387
00:17:51.379 --> 00:17:54.180 line:15%
the word ouch the most emphatic form of the word,
388
00:17:54.180 --> 00:17:56.940 line:15%
no. The word, found, the Greek word, heurisko,
389
00:17:56.940 --> 00:17:58.890 line:15%
which means a discovery made
390
00:17:58.890 --> 00:18:01.680 line:15%
after a very long process of researching,
391
00:18:01.680 --> 00:18:05.460 line:15%
which means - when the Bible says Enoch was not found,
392
00:18:05.460 --> 00:18:07.740
they were searching, they were looking,
393
00:18:07.740 --> 00:18:08.790
they were investigating,
394
00:18:08.790 --> 00:18:11.760
they emphatically could not find him.
395
00:18:11.760 --> 00:18:15.150
He disappeared because God took him.
396
00:18:15.150 --> 00:18:17.190
He was translated.
397
00:18:17.190 --> 00:18:18.420
And the Bible says that
398
00:18:18.420 --> 00:18:21.270
before he had this testimony... The word,
399
00:18:21.270 --> 00:18:24.720
before, the Greek word, pro,
which means before or earlier.
400
00:18:24.720 --> 00:18:29.580
And it implies Enoch had
a word from God earlier in
401
00:18:29.580 --> 00:18:33.120
his life that he would never taste death.
402
00:18:33.120 --> 00:18:36.510
And Enoch had stood on that word from God.
403
00:18:36.510 --> 00:18:40.140
God spoke to him and he
waited and waited and waited
404
00:18:40.140 --> 00:18:41.160
and waited and waited.
405
00:18:41.160 --> 00:18:43.320
He may have wondered, will
this ever come to pass?
406
00:18:43.320 --> 00:18:45.900
But he walked with God, he stayed in faith,
407
00:18:45.900 --> 00:18:50.160
and finally at the age of 365 years,
408
00:18:50.160 --> 00:18:53.610
that word came to pass in his life.
409
00:18:53.610 --> 00:18:55.860
And this verse also implies
410
00:18:55.860 --> 00:18:59.250
that Enoch may have suffered
some verbal abuse from people
411
00:18:59.250 --> 00:19:03.150
who laughed at him for believing he would never taste death.
412
00:19:03.150 --> 00:19:06.780
The word, testimony, in verse 5, describes a testimony
413
00:19:06.780 --> 00:19:08.250
in a court of law.
414
00:19:08.250 --> 00:19:11.250
It's where we get the word
for a martyr, which is one
415
00:19:11.250 --> 00:19:14.340
who suffers unjustly for what he believes.
416
00:19:14.340 --> 00:19:15.810
And it implies
417
00:19:15.810 --> 00:19:19.260
that Enoch may have suffered skepticism from those
418
00:19:19.260 --> 00:19:22.620
who heard him declare that he would never die.
419
00:19:22.620 --> 00:19:24.780
They may have even laughed at him,
420
00:19:24.780 --> 00:19:27.750
but the verse says he pleased God.
421
00:19:27.750 --> 00:19:31.410
Wow. Methuselah, his son, lived
422
00:19:31.410 --> 00:19:34.800
to be 969 years than he died in the flesh.
423
00:19:34.800 --> 00:19:36.780
But as I said, Enoch is much older
424
00:19:36.780 --> 00:19:40.530
because he was transferred; he was translated into Heaven.
425
00:19:40.530 --> 00:19:44.520
The word that God promised
him at a younger age was only
426
00:19:44.520 --> 00:19:48.930
fulfilled when he hit 365 years.
427
00:19:48.930 --> 00:19:52.890
And Enoch holds the record for
the longest life ever lived.
428
00:19:52.890 --> 00:19:56.580
He is still alive in his
physical body in heaven over
429
00:19:56.580 --> 00:19:58.920
5,000 years old.
430
00:19:58.920 --> 00:20:02.190
And Enoch's role in
scripture is so profound
431
00:20:02.190 --> 00:20:04.590
that the Jews identify him
432
00:20:04.590 --> 00:20:07.050
as the 1st prophet in scripture.
433
00:20:07.050 --> 00:20:09.930 line:15%
And in fact, he was so in sync with the spirit of God
434
00:20:09.930 --> 00:20:11.460
that he could see into the future
435
00:20:11.460 --> 00:20:14.400 line:15%
and actually saw the coming of Jesus,
436
00:20:14.400 --> 00:20:16.530 line:15%
which is described in Jude 14
437
00:20:16.530 --> 00:20:18.090 line:15%
and 15, which says - And Enoch,
438
00:20:18.090 --> 00:20:21.630 line:15%
also the 7th from Adam, prophesied of these saying,
439
00:20:21.630 --> 00:20:25.980 line:15%
behold the Lord cometh with 10,000 of his saints
440
00:20:25.980 --> 00:20:27.870 line:15%
to execute judgment upon all
441
00:20:27.870 --> 00:20:30.330 line:15%
and to convince all that are ungodly among them
442
00:20:30.330 --> 00:20:31.770 line:15%
of all their ungodly deeds,
443
00:20:31.770 --> 00:20:33.360 line:15%
which they have ungodly committed
444
00:20:33.360 --> 00:20:35.130 line:15%
and all their hard speeches,
445
00:20:35.130 --> 00:20:37.800 line:15%
which ungodly sinners have spoken against him,
446
00:20:38.880 --> 00:20:42.600
which means Enoch was so in sync with God by the age
447
00:20:42.600 --> 00:20:45.090
of 365,
448
00:20:45.090 --> 00:20:49.960
that he could see nearly 5,000 years into the future,
449
00:20:49.960 --> 00:20:53.080
to the end of the age, to this timeframe
450
00:20:53.080 --> 00:20:56.140 line:15%
that is directly in front of
us when Jesus is going to come
451
00:20:56.140 --> 00:20:58.690 line:15%
with 10 thousands of his saints.
452
00:20:58.690 --> 00:21:02.440 line:15%
But think about it - he didn't really hit his peak till he
453
00:21:02.440 --> 00:21:04.900 line:15%
was 365.
454
00:21:04.900 --> 00:21:07.180 line:15%
He didn't even give birth
to Methuselah with his wife
455
00:21:07.180 --> 00:21:08.530 line:15%
until he was 65.
456
00:21:08.530 --> 00:21:10.720 line:15%
He lived another 300 years after that.
457
00:21:10.720 --> 00:21:14.830 line:15%
And those next 300 years were
the most godly, profitable,
458
00:21:14.830 --> 00:21:16.510
productive years of his life.
459
00:21:16.510 --> 00:21:20.020
God used him to try to bring
correction to a generation.
460
00:21:20.020 --> 00:21:24.610
And finally, at the age of 365 years old,
461
00:21:24.610 --> 00:21:29.140
God's promise to him was fulfilled that he would never taste
462
00:21:29.140 --> 00:21:30.910
of death and God took him.
463
00:21:31.780 --> 00:21:34.180
Now, what in the world does
this have to do with you?
464
00:21:34.180 --> 00:21:37.870
It tells me that if you'll
align yourself with the word
465
00:21:37.870 --> 00:21:39.130
of God and stand by it
466
00:21:39.130 --> 00:21:42.160
and refuse to move into retreat,
467
00:21:42.160 --> 00:21:44.470
if you'll continue forward in faith,
468
00:21:44.470 --> 00:21:46.840
a great reward is still ahead of you.
469
00:21:46.840 --> 00:21:48.820
It doesn't matter how old you are.
470
00:21:48.820 --> 00:21:51.580
So if God has made a promise to you
471
00:21:51.580 --> 00:21:55.300 line:15%
that has not been fulfilled
yet, you're getting older,
472
00:21:55.300 --> 00:21:57.790 line:15%
it's not time for you to give up.
473
00:21:57.790 --> 00:21:59.380 line:15%
It's time for you to stay in faith
474
00:21:59.380 --> 00:22:00.820 line:15%
and say, God, I'm not checking out.
475
00:22:00.820 --> 00:22:02.320 line:15%
I'm not leaving this planet
476
00:22:02.320 --> 00:22:05.830 line:15%
until I have seen the fulfillment of your promise to me.
477
00:22:05.830 --> 00:22:07.570 line:15%
You need to press in
478
00:22:07.570 --> 00:22:11.530 line:15%
and believe God is going
to keep his promise to you
479
00:22:11.530 --> 00:22:15.220 line:15%
and the best season is in front of you.
480
00:22:15.220 --> 00:22:18.340
I'll be back in just a moment
and I'm going to pray for you.
481
00:22:18.340 --> 00:22:21.310
The Lord promises to
satisfy us with long life
482
00:22:21.310 --> 00:22:23.860
and salvation so we can rest assured.
483
00:22:23.860 --> 00:22:25.930
Aging is not something to dread.
484
00:22:25.930 --> 00:22:27.910
If you're not satisfied with your life,
485
00:22:27.910 --> 00:22:29.350
your life is not over.
486
00:22:29.350 --> 00:22:32.290
God will speak to you
and use you at any age.
487
00:22:32.290 --> 00:22:34.000

00:23:52.250 --> 00:23:54.530
Hey, this is Rick
Renner and I am in Tulsa.
514
00:23:54.530 --> 00:23:55.970
And look who's with me.
515
00:23:55.970 --> 00:23:59.690
This is part of our Tulsa
staff around the whole world.
516
00:23:59.690 --> 00:24:03.830
We have about 300 employees
that work in this ministry
517
00:24:03.830 --> 00:24:05.690
and that is amazing to me.
518
00:24:05.690 --> 00:24:07.700
Just look what the Lord has done
519
00:24:07.700 --> 00:24:10.280
and we're reaching people all
over the world in our various
520
00:24:10.280 --> 00:24:14.660
offices, but this is the
Tulsa team and they are heroes
521
00:24:14.660 --> 00:24:18.590
and they work every day in this building to minister to you
522
00:24:18.590 --> 00:24:19.970
by sending you resources,
523
00:24:19.970 --> 00:24:22.760
taking your calls, praying for you.
524
00:24:22.760 --> 00:24:25.070
And we're praying people,
aren't we? Yes, yes.
525
00:24:25.070 --> 00:24:30.070
We really are praying people,
but God gave us this facility
526
00:24:30.290 --> 00:24:31.670
and we're trying to pay it off.
527
00:24:31.670 --> 00:24:36.670 line:15%
And now we've already paid off 87%.
528
00:24:36.770 --> 00:24:38.840 line:15%
We call it the Ministry Expansion Project
529
00:24:38.840 --> 00:24:41.630 line:15%
because once we're finished
paying this debt off,
530
00:24:41.630 --> 00:24:45.380 line:15%
it's gonna free finances so we
can take the trusted teaching
531
00:24:45.380 --> 00:24:47.900 line:15%
to the Bible even further
to the ends of the earth.
532
00:24:47.900 --> 00:24:49.700 line:15%
And that's our call.
533
00:24:49.700 --> 00:24:52.250 line:15%
And if you're already a
member of the Giving Team
534
00:24:52.250 --> 00:24:55.340 line:15%
to help us retire the debt
on this building, I just want
535
00:24:55.340 --> 00:24:58.430 line:15%
to say thank you and we
all say thank you to you.
536
00:24:58.430 --> 00:25:01.100 line:15%
And if you're not a part
of the Giving Team yet,
537
00:25:01.100 --> 00:25:03.320 line:15%
I invite you today to join our giving team
538
00:25:03.320 --> 00:25:05.420 line:15%
to help us retire the debt.
539
00:25:05.420 --> 00:25:07.040 line:15%
It's really not about retiring the debt,
540
00:25:07.040 --> 00:25:09.320 line:15%
it's about releasing finances
541
00:25:09.320 --> 00:25:11.450 line:15%
so we can take the trusted
teaching of the Bible
542
00:25:11.450 --> 00:25:14.330 line:15%
to more people that are crying out for it.
543
00:25:14.330 --> 00:25:16.190 line:15%
So thank you for being a part of the team
544
00:25:16.190 --> 00:25:19.550 line:15%
and please pray about joining our Ministry Team
545
00:25:19.550 --> 00:25:22.160 line:15%
to retire the debt on this facility.
546
00:25:35.060 --> 00:25:35.893
Today
547
00:25:35.893 --> 00:25:38.480
we have seen that Enoch hit his peak
548
00:25:38.480 --> 00:25:41.390 line:15%
when he was 365 years old.
549
00:25:41.390 --> 00:25:43.700 line:15%
That's when he became the most productive.
550
00:25:43.700 --> 00:25:46.700 line:15%
He had the greatest revelation, the greatest experience
551
00:25:46.700 --> 00:25:47.870 line:15%
with God and my friend,
552
00:25:47.870 --> 00:25:51.800 line:15%
I'm telling you, God has revelation. He has insight.
553
00:25:51.800 --> 00:25:54.620 line:15%
He has anointing for you in your future.
554
00:25:54.620 --> 00:25:57.290 line:15%
And if you die too
earlier, you'll never reach
555
00:25:57.290 --> 00:25:58.940 line:15%
what God has for you.
556
00:25:58.940 --> 00:26:02.060 line:15%
And if God's made a promise to
you that's not been fulfilled
557
00:26:02.060 --> 00:26:03.440 line:15%
yet, don't give up.
558
00:26:03.440 --> 00:26:05.870 line:15%
Just because you've gotten a little older; it's time for you
559
00:26:05.870 --> 00:26:09.680 line:15%
to press in and say - Hey, I'm not leaving planet Earth
560
00:26:09.680 --> 00:26:12.350
until I have received the manifestation of
561
00:26:12.350 --> 00:26:14.480
what God has promised me.
562
00:26:14.480 --> 00:26:17.120 line:15%
Amen. And be sure to order
this series called How
563
00:26:17.120 --> 00:26:18.980 line:15%

and the Study guide that goes with it.
565
00:26:21.290 --> 00:26:25.820 line:15%
And be sure to also order the
book called, A Life Ablaze.
566
00:26:25.820 --> 00:26:28.100 line:15%
You can order all these things by going online
567
00:26:28.100 --> 00:26:29.210 line:15%
or give us a call
568
00:26:29.210 --> 00:26:33.740 line:15%
and please, please let us
know how to pray for you
569
00:26:33.740 --> 00:26:37.160 line:15%
because we're waiting to
pray for you right now.
570
00:26:37.160 --> 00:26:38.960 line:15%
In fact, I want you to put
your hand on your heart.
571
00:26:38.960 --> 00:26:41.450 line:15%
Let me pray for you,
father, in Jesus name.
572
00:26:41.450 --> 00:26:45.720 line:15%
I think our best season is behind us. It is in front of us.
573
00:26:45.720 --> 00:26:48.510 line:15%
Help us determine that we're not gonna leave planet Earth
574
00:26:48.510 --> 00:26:49.800 line:15%
until we're satisfied
575
00:26:49.800 --> 00:26:53.670 line:15%
and until we have experienced
everything you've promised
576
00:26:53.670 --> 00:26:56.250 line:15%
to us in Jesus' name.
577
00:26:56.250 --> 00:27:00.090 line:15%
Amen. I'll see you tomorrow.
It's gonna really be good.
578
00:27:00.090 --> 00:27:03.720
But until then, please remember Ecclesiastes 8:
579
00:27:03.720 --> 00:27:08.610
4 says, "Where the word of a king is, there is power."
580
00:27:08.610 --> 00:27:10.890
If you've never received Jesus as your Savior
581
00:27:10.890 --> 00:27:14.580 line:15%
and Lord, now is the time for you to experience a new life
582
00:27:14.580 --> 00:27:16.230
Jesus has to give you.
583
00:27:16.230 --> 00:27:19.020 line:15%
Pray this prayer with me right now - Lord,
584
00:27:19.020 --> 00:27:22.410
I repent of my sin and receive you as my Savior
585
00:27:22.410 --> 00:27:27.000
and Lord. Wash away my sin and make me completely new.
586
00:27:27.000 --> 00:27:30.150
I thank you that my sin is removed
587
00:27:30.150 --> 00:27:34.980
and Satan no longer has any right to lay claim on me.
588
00:27:34.980 --> 00:27:38.280
I faithfully promise that I will serve you as my Lord
589
00:27:38.280 --> 00:27:40.080
for the rest of my life.
590
00:27:40.080 --> 00:27:41.080
Amen.
591
00:27:42.420 --> 00:27:44.640
