00:00:01.320 --> 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 --> 00:00:11.310
Get ready for a teaching that feeds your spirit
4
00:00:11.310 --> 00:00:14.880
and your mind - where the word is the anchor in
5
00:00:14.880 --> 00:00:16.860
uncertain times,
6
00:00:16.860 --> 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 --> 00:00:26.570
but dive deep revealing a
truth that strengthens us,
9
00:00:27.000 --> 00:00:28.920
a love that emboldens,
10
00:00:30.060 --> 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
00:00:38.820 --> 00:00:40.140
Welcome to today's program.
13
00:00:40.140 --> 00:00:41.670
My name is Rick Renner
14
00:00:41.670 --> 00:00:44.610
and I'm so excited that you've joined me
15
00:00:44.610 --> 00:00:45.990
for today's program.
16
00:00:45.990 --> 00:00:48.480
I'm talking about long life, actually.
17
00:00:48.480 --> 00:00:50.550 line:15%
I'm doing a new series called, How
18
00:00:50.550 --> 00:00:53.220 line:15%
to Flourish in your Senior Years.
19
00:00:53.220 --> 00:00:55.320 line:15%
Now, if you're younger, don't say, ah,
20
00:00:55.320 --> 00:00:56.850 line:15%
I'm not gonna listen to this.
21
00:00:56.850 --> 00:00:58.290 line:15%
That has no application for me.
22
00:00:58.290 --> 00:01:00.660 line:15%
One day it will have application for you.
23
00:01:00.660 --> 00:01:02.100 line:15%
You're going to get older
24
00:01:02.100 --> 00:01:05.460 line:15%
and you need to know how to
flourish in your senior years.
25
00:01:05.460 --> 00:01:07.260 line:15%
Your parents may be older,
26
00:01:07.260 --> 00:01:08.640 line:15%
you may have friends that are older.
27
00:01:08.640 --> 00:01:10.230 line:15%
You need to encourage them
28
00:01:10.230 --> 00:01:13.920 line:15%
that their most productive
season is in front of them.
29
00:01:13.920 --> 00:01:16.740 line:15%
That's why I put these big redwoods on the cover.
30
00:01:16.740 --> 00:01:19.860 line:15%
You know, in Northern California are the giant redwoods
31
00:01:19.860 --> 00:01:23.010 line:15%
and there's one area where there's a road called The Avenue
32
00:01:23.010 --> 00:01:24.390 line:15%
of the Giants.
33
00:01:24.390 --> 00:01:26.760 line:15%
And especially when our kids were younger and Denise
34
00:01:26.760 --> 00:01:29.550
and I were traveling back in those days in America, in a car
35
00:01:29.550 --> 00:01:32.670
with our kids going to preach in different places,
36
00:01:32.670 --> 00:01:35.790
if we were in Northern
California, we always drove
37
00:01:35.790 --> 00:01:38.220
through the Avenue of The Giants
38
00:01:38.220 --> 00:01:41.370
because those trees are so enormous.
39
00:01:41.370 --> 00:01:45.990
Some of them are more
than 4,000 years old.
40
00:01:45.990 --> 00:01:48.900
Some of them are so huge
that they've tunneled
41
00:01:48.900 --> 00:01:50.490
through the middle of
them, and you can drive
42
00:01:50.490 --> 00:01:52.590
through the middle of
one of the big trees.
43
00:01:52.590 --> 00:01:55.770
It is amazing. They reach up into the sky.
44
00:01:55.770 --> 00:01:58.200 line:15%
They are massive, they are mighty.
45
00:01:58.200 --> 00:02:01.440 line:15%
And that's what God wants you to be. As you get older
46
00:02:01.440 --> 00:02:03.480 line:15%
and as you mature, God wants you
47
00:02:03.480 --> 00:02:06.090 line:15%
to be the most mighty you've ever been.
48
00:02:06.090 --> 00:02:09.600 line:15%
And that is why the subtitle says - Proof that God wants
49
00:02:09.600 --> 00:02:14.130 line:15%
to use you mightily as you age and mature.
50
00:02:14.130 --> 00:02:16.320 line:15%
And this comes with a wonderful study guide.
51
00:02:16.320 --> 00:02:18.360 line:15%
This is teaching you really need to get
52
00:02:18.360 --> 00:02:20.160 line:15%
inside you, my friends.
53
00:02:20.160 --> 00:02:22.830 line:15%
And we're also offering you my book,
54
00:02:22.830 --> 00:02:25.110 line:15%
which is called, The Life Ablaze.
55
00:02:25.110 --> 00:02:27.060 line:15%
God doesn't want you to have a wonderful,
56
00:02:27.060 --> 00:02:29.070 line:15%
powerful experience when you're young
57
00:02:29.070 --> 00:02:31.050 line:15%
and then lose it as you get older.
58
00:02:31.050 --> 00:02:34.140 line:15%
You're to be a life ablaze
all the way to the end
59
00:02:34.140 --> 00:02:35.280 line:15%
of your life.
60
00:02:35.280 --> 00:02:38.070 line:15%
And this book will give you 10 simple keys
61
00:02:38.070 --> 00:02:42.810 line:15%
to living on fire for God.
62
00:02:42.810 --> 00:02:45.570 line:15%
But you can order all these
things by going online
63
00:02:45.570 --> 00:02:47.280 line:15%
or by giving us a call.
64
00:02:47.280 --> 00:02:49.470 line:15%
And please let us know
how to pray for you.
65
00:02:49.470 --> 00:02:51.720 line:15%
We really are praying people.
66
00:02:51.720 --> 00:02:55.050 line:15%
Jesus said, if two or three of you would gather together
67
00:02:55.050 --> 00:02:57.870 line:15%
and agree as touching anything, I'll do it.
68
00:02:57.870 --> 00:02:59.620 line:15%
That is a divine promise.
69
00:02:59.620 --> 00:03:02.470 line:15%
And my friends, if you'll
tell us what you're facing,
70
00:03:02.470 --> 00:03:05.860 line:15%
we know how to agree
scripturally and in faith.
71
00:03:05.860 --> 00:03:08.860 line:15%
And Jesus says he'll do it and he will.
72
00:03:08.860 --> 00:03:11.530 line:15%
He'll do exactly what needs to be done.
73
00:03:11.530 --> 00:03:15.190 line:15%
So call the number on the
screen or send us an email
74
00:03:15.190 --> 00:03:17.350 line:15%
and the moment we hear
from you, we're gonna begin
75
00:03:17.350 --> 00:03:19.090 line:15%
to really, really pray.
76
00:03:19.090 --> 00:03:21.100 line:15%
But this week, the 1st episode,
77
00:03:21.100 --> 00:03:24.370
we talked about God's promise of longevity.
78
00:03:24.370 --> 00:03:27.640
Then yesterday we looked at the 1st example of Enoch:
79
00:03:27.640 --> 00:03:32.500
a man who hit his peak at age 365 -
80
00:03:32.500 --> 00:03:33.700
ah..ya..ya.
81
00:03:33.700 --> 00:03:36.820
That's when he really
hit his peak spiritually.
82
00:03:36.820 --> 00:03:39.670
That's when he was raptured into the presence of God.
83
00:03:39.670 --> 00:03:41.770
And today we're gonna move forward
84
00:03:41.770 --> 00:03:44.140 line:15%
and we're gonna talk about Noah
85
00:03:44.140 --> 00:03:45.760
and it's gonna really be good.
86
00:03:45.760 --> 00:03:48.160
So reach for your Bible.
87
00:03:48.160 --> 00:03:50.350 line:15%
We always use the Bible in this program.
88
00:03:50.350 --> 00:03:54.040 line:15%
But today I want to begin by giving you these statistics
89
00:03:54.040 --> 00:03:55.780
once again. You say - Oh Rick,
90
00:03:55.780 --> 00:03:58.090
this is already the 3rd time you've given
91
00:03:58.090 --> 00:03:59.140
us these statistics.
92
00:03:59.140 --> 00:04:02.380
I'm gonna give them to you
every day during this series
93
00:04:02.380 --> 00:04:04.660
because I want you to really hear this.
94
00:04:04.660 --> 00:04:07.150
Your thinking needs to change about age.
95
00:04:07.150 --> 00:04:10.990
If you're thinking you're old because you're 60 or 65
96
00:04:10.990 --> 00:04:13.210
or 70, my friends, you are not old.
97
00:04:13.210 --> 00:04:17.050
That is wrong thinking. God promises you long life.
98
00:04:17.050 --> 00:04:21.220
And in fact, according to Psalm 91:16, you can live
99
00:04:21.220 --> 00:04:23.860
until you are satisfied.
100
00:04:23.860 --> 00:04:25.510
That is the promise of God.
101
00:04:25.510 --> 00:04:30.100 line:15%
But new statistics show
the most productive age,
102
00:04:30.100 --> 00:04:35.100 line:15%
the most productive age is
from 60 to 70 years of age.
103
00:04:35.290 --> 00:04:36.700 line:15%
So if you're 65
104
00:04:36.700 --> 00:04:38.470 line:15%
or if you're nearing 70,
105
00:04:38.470 --> 00:04:41.200 line:15%
you're actually in your
most productive season.
106
00:04:41.200 --> 00:04:43.000 line:15%
You say - How is that possible?
107
00:04:43.000 --> 00:04:45.820 line:15%
Because my friends, you've lived life,
108
00:04:45.820 --> 00:04:47.920 line:15%
you've gained knowledge,
you've gained experience,
109
00:04:47.920 --> 00:04:51.010
you are more prepared for
life than ever before.
110
00:04:51.010 --> 00:04:54.460 line:15%
And what a tragedy that you would move off the playing field
111
00:04:54.460 --> 00:04:55.690 line:15%
and sit on the sidelines
112
00:04:55.690 --> 00:04:59.110 line:15%
now when you know more, your experience is bigger,
113
00:04:59.110 --> 00:05:01.570 line:15%
your base is broader, you are more primed
114
00:05:01.570 --> 00:05:03.430 line:15%
and prepared to be a blessing
115
00:05:03.430 --> 00:05:06.520 line:15%
and to be productive than in any previous time of your life.
116
00:05:06.520 --> 00:05:11.380 line:15%
And what a tragedy that you would stop now. Ah..ya.
117
00:05:11.380 --> 00:05:15.160 line:15%
But the 2nd most productive age - are you ready
118
00:05:15.160 --> 00:05:18.520 line:15%
for this - is from 70 to 80.
119
00:05:18.520 --> 00:05:19.870 line:15%
So if you're in your 70's
120
00:05:19.870 --> 00:05:21.190 line:15%
and you're on your way to 80,
121
00:05:21.190 --> 00:05:24.580 line:15%
you are in the 2nd most productive season of life.
122
00:05:24.580 --> 00:05:27.610 line:15%
These are what the new statistics show.
123
00:05:27.610 --> 00:05:32.440 line:15%
The 3rd most productive season is from 50 to 60.
124
00:05:32.440 --> 00:05:34.840 line:15%
And unfortunately, that's
often when people begin
125
00:05:34.840 --> 00:05:36.400
to think about retirement.
126
00:05:36.400 --> 00:05:37.690
Well, you need to be thinking about your
127
00:05:37.690 --> 00:05:39.490
finances for your future.
128
00:05:39.490 --> 00:05:40.930
But my friends, you don't need
129
00:05:40.930 --> 00:05:42.280
to be thinking about retirement.
130
00:05:42.280 --> 00:05:45.910
We've just seen your most
productive years is 60 to 70.
131
00:05:45.910 --> 00:05:49.120
Your 2nd most productive years is 70 to 80.
132
00:05:49.120 --> 00:05:51.190
You need to work with all your might in your
133
00:05:51.190 --> 00:05:52.420
50's and your 60's.
134
00:05:52.420 --> 00:05:55.060
Prepare for your future,
prepare financially,
135
00:05:55.060 --> 00:05:56.440
do everything you need to do
136
00:05:56.440 --> 00:05:59.690
but don't that you're
headed to retirement season.
137
00:05:59.690 --> 00:06:03.140
That's wrong. And in fact,
when most people retire,
138
00:06:03.140 --> 00:06:05.450
they no longer have relationships.
139
00:06:05.450 --> 00:06:08.360
They get sick, they sit around, they focus on their aches
140
00:06:08.360 --> 00:06:11.120
and their pains, their life is cut short.
141
00:06:11.120 --> 00:06:14.030
My friends, one reason
people focus on their aches
142
00:06:14.030 --> 00:06:15.380
and their pains is
143
00:06:15.380 --> 00:06:17.870
because they don't have
anything else to think about.
144
00:06:17.870 --> 00:06:19.010
They don't have anywhere to go.
145
00:06:19.010 --> 00:06:21.260
So their body becomes their focus.
146
00:06:21.260 --> 00:06:24.380
My friends, please don't retire just
147
00:06:24.380 --> 00:06:26.600
because you hit a certain age.
148
00:06:26.600 --> 00:06:29.510
Your most productive years are in front of you.
149
00:06:29.510 --> 00:06:32.720
You need to change the
way that you thinking.
150
00:06:33.830 --> 00:06:35.720 line:15%
Well, how about this? The average age
151
00:06:35.720 --> 00:06:40.310 line:15%
of Nobel Peace Prize winners
is in their late 60's
152
00:06:40.310 --> 00:06:42.800 line:15%
and their early 70's.
153
00:06:42.800 --> 00:06:45.890 line:15%
What if they had retired earlier? They would've missed it.
154
00:06:45.890 --> 00:06:47.750 line:15%
Or the average age of presidents
155
00:06:47.750 --> 00:06:52.750 line:15%
of large corporations is in their 60's and late 60's.
156
00:06:53.150 --> 00:06:54.830 line:15%
The average age of pastors
157
00:06:54.830 --> 00:06:58.700 line:15%
of the 100 largest churches in the world is
158
00:06:58.700 --> 00:07:00.650 line:15%
71 years.
159
00:07:00.650 --> 00:07:03.530 line:15%
71 years, they've hit their prime.
160
00:07:03.530 --> 00:07:08.450 line:15%
The average age of popes
when they become Pope is 78.
161
00:07:08.450 --> 00:07:11.330 line:15%
And then they begin to run
the worldwide Catholic church.
162
00:07:11.330 --> 00:07:14.630 line:15%
The best years of your life then is
163
00:07:14.630 --> 00:07:16.760 line:15%
between 60 and 80.
164
00:07:16.760 --> 00:07:19.460 line:15%
That is the prime of your life.
165
00:07:19.460 --> 00:07:23.360 line:15%
At 60, you begin to reach your potential.
166
00:07:23.360 --> 00:07:26.060 line:15%
And this continues into your 80's.
167
00:07:26.060 --> 00:07:27.380 line:15%
So if you're between 60
168
00:07:27.380 --> 00:07:32.030 line:15%
and 70, you are in the best
mental level of your life.
169
00:07:32.030 --> 00:07:33.500 line:15%
If you're between your 70's
170
00:07:33.500 --> 00:07:36.020 line:15%
and your 80's, you're
in the second best mental
171
00:07:36.020 --> 00:07:37.640 line:15%
level of your life.
172
00:07:37.640 --> 00:07:40.910 line:15%
That is simply what the new
medical statistics show.
173
00:07:40.910 --> 00:07:44.030 line:15%
And the first 30 years of your life,
174
00:07:44.030 --> 00:07:46.550 line:15%
you're focused on learning.
175
00:07:46.550 --> 00:07:47.840 line:15%
The second 30 years
176
00:07:47.840 --> 00:07:51.200 line:15%
of your life you're
focused on doing, working.
177
00:07:51.200 --> 00:07:55.490 line:15%
The third 30 years of your life should be spent on imparting
178
00:07:55.490 --> 00:07:57.740 line:15%
to others and helping them get started
179
00:07:57.740 --> 00:08:00.440 line:15%
and get along in life;
which means we ought a plan
180
00:08:00.440 --> 00:08:02.600 line:15%
to live about 90 years.
181
00:08:02.600 --> 00:08:07.040
But in Psalm 91:16, God says,
182
00:08:07.040 --> 00:08:11.180
With long life, will I satisfy him
183
00:08:11.180 --> 00:08:13.820
and show him my salvation.
184
00:08:13.820 --> 00:08:17.450
It doesn't say you're gonna get old, you're gonna get broken
185
00:08:17.450 --> 00:08:18.950
and then you're going to die.
186
00:08:18.950 --> 00:08:21.470
It says, with long
life, will I satisfy him
187
00:08:21.470 --> 00:08:23.960
and show him my salvation?
188
00:08:23.960 --> 00:08:27.290
That word show means I want
to demonstrate my salvation
189
00:08:27.290 --> 00:08:28.700
to you in your older years.
190
00:08:28.700 --> 00:08:31.670
The word, salvation, is the full package.
191
00:08:31.670 --> 00:08:35.960
It's health, it's sound
thinking, a sound mind,
192
00:08:35.960 --> 00:08:38.450
a healthy body prosperity.
193
00:08:38.450 --> 00:08:40.760
God wants you to
experience every bit of it
194
00:08:40.760 --> 00:08:42.200
to the very end of your life.
195
00:08:42.200 --> 00:08:46.910
He wants you to be a trophy
of his grace and of his power.
196
00:08:46.910 --> 00:08:50.540
And the 1st part of the verse says - With long life,
197
00:08:50.540 --> 00:08:52.550
will I satisfy him.
198
00:08:52.550 --> 00:08:56.220
The word, long, in Hebrew speaks of length of days
199
00:08:56.220 --> 00:08:57.900
or longevity.
200
00:08:57.900 --> 00:09:00.840
The word life, in Hebrew speaks of days,
201
00:09:00.840 --> 00:09:03.870
but as a phrase, it depicts a long life
202
00:09:03.870 --> 00:09:06.210
or a very, very long life.
203
00:09:06.210 --> 00:09:08.460
So now you could translate
the verse with a very,
204
00:09:08.460 --> 00:09:12.360
very long life, will I satisfy him.
205
00:09:12.360 --> 00:09:17.360
And the word satisfy means to have enough, to have plenty of
206
00:09:17.490 --> 00:09:20.520
or to be fully satisfied.
207
00:09:20.520 --> 00:09:23.940
Which means - if you fulfill the conditions
208
00:09:23.940 --> 00:09:26.790
of Psalm 91:1, which is dwelling in the presence
209
00:09:26.790 --> 00:09:30.450
and in the shadow of the Almighty, God promises you
210
00:09:30.450 --> 00:09:33.570
that you can live until you're satisfied.
211
00:09:33.570 --> 00:09:35.580
And you don't have to leave planet Earth
212
00:09:35.580 --> 00:09:37.500
until you are ready to go.
213
00:09:37.500 --> 00:09:40.620
You say - Oh, come on Rick. This sounds like a fairytale.
214
00:09:40.620 --> 00:09:42.630
Well that's because you're thinking wrong.
215
00:09:42.630 --> 00:09:44.310
You're thinking wrong. This is
216
00:09:44.310 --> 00:09:47.220
what God promises in 91:16
217
00:09:47.220 --> 00:09:50.910
and my friends, if you'll make
your aim for a longer life,
218
00:09:50.910 --> 00:09:52.500
you'll come closer to it.
219
00:09:52.500 --> 00:09:54.060
If you just believe for 70
220
00:09:54.060 --> 00:09:55.740
or maybe if you're lucky 80 years,
221
00:09:55.740 --> 00:09:57.690
that's probably all you're gonna get.
222
00:09:57.690 --> 00:09:59.670
You need to upgrade your faith
223
00:09:59.670 --> 00:10:01.770
and say, I'm gonna go for the maximum.
224
00:10:01.770 --> 00:10:03.870
I'm gonna live until I'm satisfied
225
00:10:03.870 --> 00:10:05.310
and to the very end of my life,
226
00:10:05.310 --> 00:10:07.170
God's gonna show me his salvation.
227
00:10:07.170 --> 00:10:09.600
I'm gonna be strong, I'm gonna be healthy.
228
00:10:09.600 --> 00:10:11.370
I'm gonna have a sharp mind
229
00:10:11.370 --> 00:10:15.090
and put away all the embracing of dementia
230
00:10:15.090 --> 00:10:17.070
that is in society today.
231
00:10:17.070 --> 00:10:21.690
God has given you a sound mind
and you need to embrace it.
232
00:10:21.690 --> 00:10:25.440
But according to this verse,
you can live to the point
233
00:10:25.440 --> 00:10:27.360
of satisfaction.
234
00:10:27.360 --> 00:10:30.180
But today we're going to
look at the example of Noah
235
00:10:30.180 --> 00:10:34.140
who really got started at age 500.
236
00:10:34.140 --> 00:10:35.640
That is amazing.
237
00:10:35.640 --> 00:10:38.430
But in the previous
program we looked at Enoch
238
00:10:39.390 --> 00:10:42.810
and we saw that Enoch
lived to be 365 years old.
239
00:10:42.810 --> 00:10:47.550
And that's really when he hit his peak. At the age of 365,
240
00:10:47.550 --> 00:10:51.870
he was closer to God: at the age of 365,
241
00:10:51.870 --> 00:10:55.230
he experienced God's promise
to him. He wouldn't give up.
242
00:10:55.230 --> 00:10:56.820
He said, I'm not gonna leave Earth.
243
00:10:56.820 --> 00:11:00.540
And he lived until he saw the
fulfillment of God's promise.
244
00:11:00.540 --> 00:11:02.760
But Enoch had a son,
245
00:11:02.760 --> 00:11:06.690
his son's name was Methuselah. Methuselah had many children.
246
00:11:06.690 --> 00:11:10.620
Among Methuselah's children was one son named Lamech.
247
00:11:10.620 --> 00:11:13.470
Lamech had a son who also had many children,
248
00:11:13.470 --> 00:11:17.850
but one of his sons was
prominently named Noah.
249
00:11:17.850 --> 00:11:19.650
And we first see the appearance
250
00:11:19.650 --> 00:11:23.850
of Noah in Genesis 5:28 to 31
251
00:11:23.850 --> 00:11:28.350
where the Bible says - And Lamech lived 180
252
00:11:28.350 --> 00:11:33.330
and 2 years and begat a son and called his name Noah.
253
00:11:33.330 --> 00:11:36.480
And the word Noah is a prophetic name.
254
00:11:36.480 --> 00:11:38.670
It means comfort or rest.
255
00:11:38.670 --> 00:11:41.010
And Lamech gave Noah this name
256
00:11:41.010 --> 00:11:44.280
because he received divine revelation
257
00:11:44.280 --> 00:11:47.280
that this was a special
son that God would use
258
00:11:47.280 --> 00:11:49.410
to bring comfort or rest to a world
259
00:11:49.410 --> 00:11:51.270
that was filled with despair.
260
00:11:51.270 --> 00:11:53.530
If you've heard my series on life
261
00:11:53.530 --> 00:11:56.320
before the flood, you'll
understand that in the days
262
00:11:56.320 --> 00:11:57.520
before the flood, all kinds
263
00:11:57.520 --> 00:12:00.700
of dark nefarious activities
were taking place.
264
00:12:00.700 --> 00:12:03.250
Enoch had tried to bring
a correction to it.
265
00:12:03.250 --> 00:12:05.260
Those would not listen to him.
266
00:12:05.260 --> 00:12:07.930
But finally, from
generation to generation,
267
00:12:07.930 --> 00:12:09.010
God begins speaking
268
00:12:09.010 --> 00:12:11.980
and warning this family
judgment is coming,
269
00:12:11.980 --> 00:12:13.030
judgment is coming.
270
00:12:13.030 --> 00:12:16.300
And when Lamech and his wife gave birth to Noah,
271
00:12:16.300 --> 00:12:18.130
they understood this was a young boy
272
00:12:18.130 --> 00:12:20.740
that was gonna play a prophetic role in through him.\
273
00:12:20.740 --> 00:12:23.230
finally, there would be rest, there would be comfort
274
00:12:23.230 --> 00:12:26.620
or there would be a reprieve
from all the dark nefarious
275
00:12:26.620 --> 00:12:29.020
activity which was going on in the world.
276
00:12:29.020 --> 00:12:33.670
In fact, Lamech prophetically declared in Genesis 5:29,
277
00:12:33.670 --> 00:12:36.250
This same shall comfort us.
278
00:12:36.250 --> 00:12:38.530
He spoke this word over his son.
279
00:12:38.530 --> 00:12:42.580
And when we come to Genesis 5:32, the Bible says,
280
00:12:42.580 --> 00:12:45.460
and Noah was 500 years old
281
00:12:45.460 --> 00:12:48.760
and Noah begat Shem, Ham,
282
00:12:48.760 --> 00:12:50.470
and Japheth. How would you like
283
00:12:50.470 --> 00:12:53.320
to be 500 years old when you start your family?
284
00:12:53.320 --> 00:12:56.380
Well, that's what we read in Genesis 5:32.
285
00:12:56.380 --> 00:13:00.970
And the Bible really tells us
Noah was 500 years old when he
286
00:13:00.970 --> 00:13:05.560
and his wife became the parents of Shem, Ham and Japheth.
287
00:13:05.560 --> 00:13:08.440
And about the same time that they began
288
00:13:08.440 --> 00:13:10.930
to raise their family, God began
289
00:13:10.930 --> 00:13:13.390
to personally speak to Noah.
290
00:13:13.390 --> 00:13:15.820
Now up until that time, Noah had heard
291
00:13:15.820 --> 00:13:16.930
that a judgment was coming
292
00:13:16.930 --> 00:13:17.763
because he heard it from his father
293
00:13:17.763 --> 00:13:20.146
who heard it from Methuselah,
294
00:13:20.146 --> 00:13:22.990
who heard it from Enoch,
who heard it from Jared.
295
00:13:22.990 --> 00:13:25.960
God had been speaking to
this family for generations.
296
00:13:25.960 --> 00:13:29.200
But when Noah hit 500 years old
297
00:13:29.200 --> 00:13:30.910
and began to have his own family,
298
00:13:30.910 --> 00:13:32.530
he had a spiritual awakening
299
00:13:32.530 --> 00:13:35.380
and he himself began to hear from God and friend,
300
00:13:35.380 --> 00:13:38.020
I want to tell you there are some things you will not hear
301
00:13:38.020 --> 00:13:40.390
from God until you get to an older age.
302
00:13:40.390 --> 00:13:43.540
Your older age you become
more primed to hear
303
00:13:43.540 --> 00:13:46.840
with the spirit of God has to say to you.
304
00:13:46.840 --> 00:13:47.980
And he
305
00:13:47.980 --> 00:13:52.450
and his family built the ark
for about a hundred years.
306
00:13:52.450 --> 00:13:56.770
And finally at age 600, the
flood came on the earth.
307
00:13:56.770 --> 00:13:59.350
And in Genesis 7:6,
308
00:13:59.350 --> 00:14:03.460
the Bible says and Noah was
600 years old when the flood
309
00:14:03.460 --> 00:14:06.310
of waters was upon the earth.
310
00:14:06.310 --> 00:14:09.160
So according to Genesis 7:6,
311
00:14:10.420 --> 00:14:14.470
the flood was unleashed
when Noah was 600 years old.
312
00:14:14.470 --> 00:14:18.910
But he began building
the ark when he was 500.
313
00:14:18.910 --> 00:14:22.030
But at the age of 500 is
when he began to wake up
314
00:14:22.030 --> 00:14:25.570
and he began to hear God
speak to him personally.
315
00:14:25.570 --> 00:14:27.610
Until that time he had heard
316
00:14:27.610 --> 00:14:29.740
that judgment was coming from his father,
317
00:14:29.740 --> 00:14:32.380
from his grandfather, from
his great-grandfather,
318
00:14:32.380 --> 00:14:34.000
from his great-great-grandfather.
319
00:14:34.000 --> 00:14:37.120
And by the way here we
find that as we get older,
320
00:14:37.120 --> 00:14:40.060
we have a God-given responsibility to pass
321
00:14:40.060 --> 00:14:42.730
what we've learned to
the younger generation.
322
00:14:42.730 --> 00:14:46.540
And Noah was carrying within
him all these prophetic words
323
00:14:46.540 --> 00:14:48.940
which have been passed
to him from his father,
324
00:14:48.940 --> 00:14:51.260
his grandfather, his great-grandfather,
325
00:14:51.260 --> 00:14:52.730
his great-great-grandfather.
326
00:14:52.730 --> 00:14:57.730
But at about the age 500, he began to hear from God himself.
327
00:14:58.190 --> 00:15:01.580
And Hebrews 11:7 tells us about this.
328
00:15:01.580 --> 00:15:05.900
It says - By faith, Noah being warned of God
329
00:15:05.900 --> 00:15:08.840
of things not seen as yet moved with fear
330
00:15:08.840 --> 00:15:13.640
and prepared an ark to
the saving of his house.
331
00:15:13.640 --> 00:15:16.820
But notice it says Noah
being warned of God.
332
00:15:16.820 --> 00:15:19.340
The Greek word used here is chrematidzo,
333
00:15:19.340 --> 00:15:22.280
which really describes
a business relationship
334
00:15:22.280 --> 00:15:25.130
and it describes Noah's
relationship with God.
335
00:15:25.130 --> 00:15:28.430
He saw God as the senior
partner, he saw him
336
00:15:28.430 --> 00:15:30.890
as the junior partner in this relationship
337
00:15:30.890 --> 00:15:32.900
and he had a business
relationship with God.
338
00:15:32.900 --> 00:15:34.220
In this phrase, being warned,
339
00:15:34.220 --> 00:15:38.420
the Greek word chrematidzo describes a business transaction.
340
00:15:38.420 --> 00:15:39.530
It means to advise
341
00:15:39.530 --> 00:15:42.020
or to consult with one
about important affairs.
342
00:15:42.020 --> 00:15:46.160
And in this case, he was the
advised and consulted by God.
343
00:15:46.160 --> 00:15:50.210
It literally means - be divinely advised and warned.
344
00:15:50.210 --> 00:15:54.080
And Noah was literally being divinely advised
345
00:15:54.080 --> 00:15:56.300
and warned of God of things -
346
00:15:56.300 --> 00:16:00.770
the verse said - not seen as yet. The Greek says, not
347
00:16:00.770 --> 00:16:03.145
yet, never before.
348
00:16:03.145 --> 00:16:05.840
And of course he began to
hear that a flood was going
349
00:16:05.840 --> 00:16:07.190
to come upon the earth
350
00:16:07.190 --> 00:16:09.890
and it makes total sense
that he had never heard
351
00:16:09.890 --> 00:16:10.910
or seen of such a thing
352
00:16:10.910 --> 00:16:13.310
because there had never been a flood.
353
00:16:13.310 --> 00:16:17.120
In fact, until this time there had never even been rain.
354
00:16:17.120 --> 00:16:19.520
We're told in Genesis 2:5
355
00:16:19.520 --> 00:16:22.700
and 6, that previous to the flood, there was a mist
356
00:16:22.700 --> 00:16:24.020
that came up out of the earth
357
00:16:24.020 --> 00:16:26.360
that watered all the vegetation every day.
358
00:16:26.360 --> 00:16:28.760
There had never been rain,
there had never been a flood,
359
00:16:28.760 --> 00:16:31.700
no one had ever seen such a thing.
360
00:16:31.700 --> 00:16:36.650
But now Noah at age 500 is
hearing from God himself
361
00:16:36.650 --> 00:16:38.060
and he moved with fear
362
00:16:38.060 --> 00:16:41.570
and prepared an ark to
the saving of his house.
363
00:16:41.570 --> 00:16:44.390
And when the Bible says
he moved with fear,
364
00:16:44.390 --> 00:16:46.820
the word here means to
take action urgently
365
00:16:46.820 --> 00:16:50.000
and seriously, which mean no
one knew he had really heard
366
00:16:50.000 --> 00:16:55.000
from God and he was quick to
obey and he prepared an ark.
367
00:16:55.040 --> 00:16:57.920
The word prepared in Greek
means he put forth the effort
368
00:16:57.920 --> 00:17:00.020
to build a vessel.
369
00:17:00.020 --> 00:17:04.130
And the word ark, is a Greek word which describes an ancient
370
00:17:04.130 --> 00:17:07.160
ship, but not just a ship for sailing,
371
00:17:07.160 --> 00:17:09.230
but for warehousing and saving.
372
00:17:09.230 --> 00:17:12.380
And we know the story that
God began to bring to him,
373
00:17:12.380 --> 00:17:16.580
animals to of every kind from
across the face of the earth.
374
00:17:16.580 --> 00:17:19.310
And Noah began to collect those animals
375
00:17:19.310 --> 00:17:21.920
and prepare them to be carried on the ark
376
00:17:21.920 --> 00:17:24.740
and carried finally to
the end of the flood
377
00:17:24.740 --> 00:17:26.330
where they would depart from the ark
378
00:17:26.330 --> 00:17:29.120
and the world would begin
to repopulate itself.
379
00:17:29.120 --> 00:17:31.940
But the Bible also says to
the saving of his house,
380
00:17:31.940 --> 00:17:35.150
the Greek literally says,
for the explicit purpose
381
00:17:35.150 --> 00:17:37.580
of saving his own household.
382
00:17:39.020 --> 00:17:44.020 line:15%
The ark construction took 100 years.
383
00:17:44.060 --> 00:17:46.640 line:15%
And more than likely, there
were moments when Mrs.
384
00:17:46.640 --> 00:17:50.580 line:15%
Noah said - Sweetheart, are you absolutely sure
385
00:17:50.580 --> 00:17:52.710 line:15%
that God has spoken to you?
386
00:17:52.710 --> 00:17:56.550 line:15%
People are laughing at us,
we're spending our lives,
387
00:17:56.550 --> 00:17:59.730 line:15%
we're spending our resources,
our sons, their wives,
388
00:17:59.730 --> 00:18:01.110 line:15%
they're spending every moment
389
00:18:01.110 --> 00:18:02.790 line:15%
of their lives constructing this ark.
390
00:18:02.790 --> 00:18:07.530
Or are you really sure that God spoke to you?
391
00:18:07.530 --> 00:18:10.380
And there might have been
a tug for Noah to give up
392
00:18:10.380 --> 00:18:11.640
and to stop the project?
393
00:18:11.640 --> 00:18:13.590
Or how about his kids?
394
00:18:13.590 --> 00:18:15.930
His sons could have said, Hey dad,
395
00:18:15.930 --> 00:18:17.790
we're giving our whole life, our future,
396
00:18:17.790 --> 00:18:19.410
our reputation for this project.
397
00:18:19.410 --> 00:18:24.150
Dad, are you really sure you've heard from God. There was a
398
00:18:24.150 --> 00:18:25.830
pull for Noah to give up
399
00:18:25.830 --> 00:18:30.360
and move off the assignment
that God gave him to do.
400
00:18:30.360 --> 00:18:33.180
And I'm sure the people
in the community laughed.
401
00:18:33.180 --> 00:18:36.090
They must have said that
old man start building
402
00:18:36.090 --> 00:18:39.480
that big boat at age 500
here he's been building
403
00:18:39.480 --> 00:18:42.300
for a hundred years talking about a rain,
404
00:18:42.300 --> 00:18:44.070
talking about a big
flood that's gonna come.
405
00:18:44.070 --> 00:18:48.060
This old man, they must have
told the funniest Noah jokes
406
00:18:48.060 --> 00:18:51.540
you can imagine. And I'm sure some of them were quite funny.
407
00:18:51.540 --> 00:18:54.090 line:15%
They mocked him and made fun of him.
408
00:18:54.090 --> 00:18:57.390
But Noah knew that he had heard from God
409
00:18:57.390 --> 00:18:59.310
and he refused to move off.
410
00:18:59.310 --> 00:19:03.780
But was he tempted to move off? It's almost a certainty.
411
00:19:03.780 --> 00:19:06.420
And we're told in 2 Peter 2:5,
412
00:19:06.420 --> 00:19:08.790
that Noah was a preacher of righteousness,
413
00:19:08.790 --> 00:19:10.890
which means he wasn't
just constructing the ark,
414
00:19:10.890 --> 00:19:14.520
he was preaching along the way, telling people they needed
415
00:19:14.520 --> 00:19:18.720
to repent because judgment was coming.
416
00:19:18.720 --> 00:19:21.480
He knew that a worldwide flood was coming
417
00:19:21.480 --> 00:19:25.200
and he preached - just like we're supposed to preach today
418
00:19:25.200 --> 00:19:28.230
because judgment is coming
again in the near future.
419
00:19:28.230 --> 00:19:32.490 line:15%
But Noah refused to give
up regardless of criticism,
420
00:19:32.490 --> 00:19:33.990 line:15%
questions from his family
421
00:19:33.990 --> 00:19:36.240 line:15%
or questions that arose in his own mind.
422
00:19:36.240 --> 00:19:38.550 line:15%
He decided he would stay on track
423
00:19:38.550 --> 00:19:41.310 line:15%
and he would stay in faith.
424
00:19:42.780 --> 00:19:46.920 line:15%
But at age 500 is when he had a spiritual awakening
425
00:19:46.920 --> 00:19:49.230
and he began to hear from God himself.
426
00:19:49.230 --> 00:19:51.960
Prior to that, he had heard from his dad,
427
00:19:51.960 --> 00:19:54.720
he had heard from his grandfather, his great-grandfather,
428
00:19:54.720 --> 00:19:56.220
his great-great-grandfather.
429
00:19:56.220 --> 00:19:59.340
He had heard everything they had said about coming judgment,
430
00:19:59.340 --> 00:20:03.240
but about age 500, God spoke to him
431
00:20:03.240 --> 00:20:05.220
and finally he had ears to hear.
432
00:20:05.220 --> 00:20:08.970
And my friends, when you
get older, that's the moment
433
00:20:08.970 --> 00:20:11.310
for you to have a spiritual awakening.
434
00:20:11.310 --> 00:20:13.500
That's not time for you to
move off the playing field.
435
00:20:13.500 --> 00:20:15.570 line:15%
And in fact, at age 500,
436
00:20:15.570 --> 00:20:20.570 line:15%
Noah received the most important assignment for his life.
437
00:20:20.580 --> 00:20:23.040 line:15%
He was finally ready. He was age 500.
438
00:20:23.040 --> 00:20:25.980 line:15%
He had resources, he had
wisdom, he had experience.
439
00:20:25.980 --> 00:20:29.490 line:15%
This was a man God could
tap on the shoulder to use.
440
00:20:29.490 --> 00:20:31.860 line:15%
He was in his prime.
441
00:20:31.860 --> 00:20:35.940
And likewise, when you reach
the older years of your life,
442
00:20:35.940 --> 00:20:37.620
you are more prepared
443
00:20:37.620 --> 00:20:40.470
for a new assignment than any other time.
444
00:20:40.470 --> 00:20:43.830
And so if you are among
those that are older,
445
00:20:43.830 --> 00:20:47.620
it's a great time for you
to start any new project
446
00:20:47.620 --> 00:20:49.240
that God puts in your heart.
447
00:20:49.240 --> 00:20:52.270
You are ready for it,
you've been prepared for it.
448
00:20:52.270 --> 00:20:54.700
It's time for you to have a
new awakening where you begin
449
00:20:54.700 --> 00:20:57.850
to experience God and hear
God like never before.
450
00:20:57.850 --> 00:20:59.530
My friends, right in front
451
00:20:59.530 --> 00:21:03.910 line:15%
of you should be the greatest
fruit producing season
452
00:21:03.910 --> 00:21:05.830 line:15%
of your life.
453
00:21:05.830 --> 00:21:08.650 line:15%
But you've gotta reach out
by faith and embrace it
454
00:21:08.650 --> 00:21:11.020 line:15%
and declare, the end of my life is going
455
00:21:11.020 --> 00:21:12.700 line:15%
to be the greatest part of my life
456
00:21:12.700 --> 00:21:15.940 line:15%
and I'm not leaving this world until I've done
457
00:21:15.940 --> 00:21:18.160 line:15%
what God has called me to do
458
00:21:18.160 --> 00:21:22.660 line:15%
and until I'm satisfied. Say - Amen.
459
00:21:22.660 --> 00:21:25.660
Oh, I've got more to say.
I'll be back in just a moment.
460
00:21:33.730 --> 00:21:37.120 line:15%
Someone has asked the question - Where is Noah's ark today
461
00:21:37.120 --> 00:21:39.610 line:15%
and is it really still visible?
462
00:21:39.610 --> 00:21:42.370 line:15%
And the answer is yes, it is still visible.
463
00:21:42.370 --> 00:21:45.550
People have been looking for it on the peak of Mount Ararat.
464
00:21:45.550 --> 00:21:48.820
But when you read Genesis 8:4, it says
465
00:21:48.820 --> 00:21:52.600
that the ark came to rest in the mountains of Ararat.
466
00:21:52.600 --> 00:21:55.510
The Ararat mountain range is enormous.
467
00:21:55.510 --> 00:21:59.350
And among that big mountain range is a lower mountain called
468
00:21:59.350 --> 00:22:00.940
Mount Judi.
469
00:22:00.940 --> 00:22:03.970
And today on the slopes of Mt. Judi are the ruins
470
00:22:03.970 --> 00:22:05.680
of Noah's Ark.
471
00:22:05.680 --> 00:22:07.270 line:15%
It's really been there.
472
00:22:07.270 --> 00:22:10.630
I've been there and I've written about it in my new book,
473
00:22:10.630 --> 00:22:13.330
which is called Fallen Angels, Giants, Monsters,
474
00:22:13.330 --> 00:22:16.900
and The World Before the Flood. My friends, in the end
475
00:22:16.900 --> 00:22:20.110
of the ages, Noah's Ark has reappeared
476
00:22:20.110 --> 00:22:21.520
as a prophetic reminder
477
00:22:21.520 --> 00:22:24.220
that just like the world
was once destroyed,
478
00:22:24.220 --> 00:22:26.320
future judgment is coming again
479
00:22:26.320 --> 00:22:29.470
and that ark is preaching again.
480
00:22:29.470 --> 00:22:32.440
The Lord promises to satisfy us with long life
481
00:22:32.440 --> 00:22:34.990
and salvation so we can rest assured
482
00:22:34.990 --> 00:22:37.060
aging is not something to dread.
483
00:22:37.060 --> 00:22:39.010
If you're not satisfied with your life,
484
00:22:39.010 --> 00:22:40.480
your life is not over.
485
00:22:40.480 --> 00:22:43.450
God will speak to you
and use you at any age.
486
00:22:43.450 --> 00:22:45.130

512
00:24:03.230 --> 00:24:05.660
Hey, this is Rick Renner and I am in Tulsa.
513
00:24:05.660 --> 00:24:07.100
And look who's with me.
514
00:24:07.100 --> 00:24:10.820
This is part of our Tulsa staff. Around the whole world,
515
00:24:10.820 --> 00:24:14.990
we have about 300 employees that work in this ministry
516
00:24:14.990 --> 00:24:16.820
and that is amazing to me.
517
00:24:16.820 --> 00:24:18.830
Just look what the Lord has done
518
00:24:18.830 --> 00:24:21.410
and we're reaching people all
over the world in our various
519
00:24:21.410 --> 00:24:25.820
offices, but this is the
Tulsa team and they are heroes
520
00:24:25.820 --> 00:24:29.720
and they work every day in this building to minister to you
521
00:24:29.720 --> 00:24:31.100
by sending you resources,
522
00:24:31.100 --> 00:24:33.890
taking your calls, praying for you.
523
00:24:33.890 --> 00:24:35.435
And we're praying people, aren't we?
524
00:24:35.435 --> 00:24:38.150
Yes, we really are praying people,
525
00:24:38.150 --> 00:24:41.420
but God gave us this facility
526
00:24:41.420 --> 00:24:42.800
and we're trying to pay it off.
527
00:24:42.800 --> 00:24:47.800 line:15%
And now we've already paid off 87%.
528
00:24:47.870 --> 00:24:49.970 line:15%
We call it the Ministry Expansion Project
529
00:24:49.970 --> 00:24:52.760 line:15%
because once we're finished
paying this debt off,
530
00:24:52.760 --> 00:24:56.540 line:15%
it's gonna free finances so we
can take the trusted teaching
531
00:24:56.540 --> 00:24:59.030 line:15%
to the Bible even further
to the ends of the earth.
532
00:24:59.030 --> 00:25:00.830 line:15%
And that's our call.
533
00:25:00.830 --> 00:25:03.380 line:15%
And if you're already a
member of the Giving Team
534
00:25:03.380 --> 00:25:06.500 line:15%
to help us retire the debt
on this building, I just want
535
00:25:06.500 --> 00:25:09.530 line:15%
to say "thank you" and we all say thank you to you.
536
00:25:09.530 --> 00:25:12.230 line:15%
And if you're not a part of the Giving Team yet,
537
00:25:12.230 --> 00:25:14.450 line:15%
I invite you today to join our Giving Team
538
00:25:14.450 --> 00:25:16.550 line:15%
to help us retire the debt.
539
00:25:16.550 --> 00:25:18.170 line:15%
It's really not about retiring the debt,
540
00:25:18.170 --> 00:25:20.450 line:15%
it's about releasing finances
541
00:25:20.450 --> 00:25:22.580 line:15%
so we can take the trusted
teaching of the Bible
542
00:25:22.580 --> 00:25:25.460 line:15%
to more people that are crying out for it.
543
00:25:25.460 --> 00:25:27.290 line:15%
So thank you for being a part of the team
544
00:25:27.290 --> 00:25:30.680 line:15%
and please pray about joining our Ministry Team
545
00:25:30.680 --> 00:25:33.290 line:15%
to retire the debt on this facility.
546
00:25:46.280 --> 00:25:48.380 line:15%
This week I'm talking to you about, How
547
00:25:48.380 --> 00:25:51.230 line:15%
To Flourish In Your Senior Years.
548
00:25:51.230 --> 00:25:52.970 line:15%
And I've already given you two examples.
549
00:25:52.970 --> 00:25:57.680 line:15%
Enoch hit his peak at age 365.
550
00:25:57.680 --> 00:26:01.340
Noah really woke up to God when he was 500,
551
00:26:01.340 --> 00:26:04.940
and finally by age 500, he
had enough life experience
552
00:26:04.940 --> 00:26:07.280
that he was ready for a new assignment.
553
00:26:07.280 --> 00:26:09.770
My friends don't move off
the playing field just
554
00:26:09.770 --> 00:26:11.690
because you've gotten a little older,
555
00:26:11.690 --> 00:26:14.510
you're finally old enough
to know what you're doing.
556
00:26:14.510 --> 00:26:16.430
God can finally trust you.
557
00:26:16.430 --> 00:26:18.470 line:15%
And that's why I want you to
get this series called How
558
00:26:18.470 --> 00:26:21.020 line:15%
to Flourish in Your Senior Years:
559
00:26:21.020 --> 00:26:23.480 line:15%
Proof that God wants to use You mightily
560
00:26:23.480 --> 00:26:25.610 line:15%
as you age and mature.
561
00:26:25.610 --> 00:26:27.350 line:15%
And it comes with a study guide.
562
00:26:27.350 --> 00:26:28.580
And I want you to be sure
563
00:26:28.580 --> 00:26:31.430 line:15%
to get my book called, A Life Ablaze:
564
00:26:31.430 --> 00:26:35.570 line:15%
10 Simple Keys to Living on Fire for God,
565
00:26:35.570 --> 00:26:36.860 line:15%
not being on fire,
566
00:26:36.860 --> 00:26:38.930 line:15%
living on fire for God.
567
00:26:38.930 --> 00:26:42.410 line:15%
God wants you to be on fire
to the end of your life
568
00:26:42.410 --> 00:26:46.500 line:15%
and you can be, if you know
the simple fuels you need
569
00:26:46.500 --> 00:26:49.830 line:15%
to feed your fire and
that's what's in this book.
570
00:26:49.830 --> 00:26:50.880
But hey, I wanna pray for you
571
00:26:50.880 --> 00:26:53.250 line:15%

because we're waiting to hear from you.
573
00:26:54.660 --> 00:26:56.880 line:15%
If you'll just call the
number on the screen
574
00:26:56.880 --> 00:26:59.220 line:15%
or send us an email, the

00:26:59.220 --> 00:27:02.040 line:15%

so spectacular in your life,

577
00:27:06.630 --> 00:27:08.100 line:15%
But put your hand on your heart
578
00:27:08.100 --> 00:27:10.020 line:15%
and I wanna pray for you right now.
579
00:27:10.020 --> 00:27:11.520 line:15%
Father, I pray for my friend
580
00:27:11.520 --> 00:27:14.220 line:15%
that this would be the
season of their life
581
00:27:14.220 --> 00:27:16.350 line:15%
when they have a spiritual awakening
582
00:27:16.350 --> 00:27:19.350 line:15%
and they hear your voice clearer than ever
583
00:27:19.350 --> 00:27:22.500 line:15%
before. Lord, you've prepared them for this time.
584
00:27:22.500 --> 00:27:26.190 line:15%
Help them to embrace it as the golden season,
585
00:27:26.190 --> 00:27:29.880 line:15%
the most fruitful season of their life.
586
00:27:29.880 --> 00:27:34.710 line:15%
In Jesus' name - Amen. I'll be back tomorrow.
587
00:27:34.710 --> 00:27:37.530 line:15%
Tomorrow's gonna really, really be encouraging.
588
00:27:37.530 --> 00:27:39.480
I'll see you then, but until then,
589
00:27:39.480 --> 00:27:42.120
remember Ecclesiastes 8:4 says, "Where the word
590
00:27:42.120 --> 00:27:45.840
of a king is, there is power."
591
00:27:45.840 --> 00:27:48.120
If you've never received Jesus as your Savior
592
00:27:48.120 --> 00:27:51.810 line:15%
and Lord, now is the time for
you to experience a new life
593
00:27:51.810 --> 00:27:53.430
Jesus has to give you.
594
00:27:53.430 --> 00:27:56.280 line:15%
Pray this prayer with me right now - Lord,
595
00:27:56.280 --> 00:27:59.610
I repent of my sin and receive you as my Savior
596
00:27:59.610 --> 00:28:04.200
and Lord. Wash away my sin
and make me completely new.
597
00:28:04.200 --> 00:28:07.350
I thank you that my sin is removed
598
00:28:07.350 --> 00:28:12.180
and Satan no longer has any
right to lay claim on me.
599
00:28:12.180 --> 00:28:15.540
I faithfully promise that
I will serve you as my Lord
600
00:28:15.540 --> 00:28:17.250
for the rest of my life -
601
00:28:17.250 --> 00:28:18.250
Amen.
