00:00:01.350 --> 00:00:04.050
This program is made
possible by the giving
2
00:00:04.050 --> 00:00:08.100
of the God called partners
of Renner Ministries.
3
00:00:08.100 --> 00:00:11.340
Get ready for a teaching
that feeds your spirit
4
00:00:11.340 --> 00:00:14.940
and your mind where the
word is the anchor in
5
00:00:14.940 --> 00:00:16.890
uncertain times
6
00:00:16.890 --> 00:00:20.190
and doctrine doesn't bend to culture.
7
00:00:20.190 --> 00:00:21.600
We keep it simple,
8
00:00:21.600 --> 00:00:26.160
but dive deep revealing a
truth that strengthens us,
9
00:00:27.060 --> 00:00:28.980
a love that emboldens,
10
00:00:30.090 --> 00:00:32.750
and a mission that touches the world.
11
00:00:34.590 --> 00:00:36.120
Let's join Rick Renner.
12
00:00:39.120 --> 00:00:40.380
Welcome to today's program.
13
00:00:40.380 --> 00:00:42.660
My name is Rick Renner and my friend
14
00:00:42.660 --> 00:00:46.620 line:15%
today we're gonna rendezvous again around the series,
15
00:00:46.620 --> 00:00:49.980 line:15%
which is called, How to Flourish in Your Senior Years.
16
00:00:49.980 --> 00:00:53.520 line:15%
The subtitle of the series says - Proof that God wants
17
00:00:53.520 --> 00:00:56.880 line:15%
to use you mightily as you age and to mature.
18
00:00:56.880 --> 00:00:59.910 line:15%
You do not have to die old and sick.
19
00:00:59.910 --> 00:01:02.880 line:15%
God wants you to go
out in ablaze of glory.
20
00:01:02.880 --> 00:01:05.880 line:15%
We're told in Psalm 84:7 - we're to go from strength
21
00:01:05.880 --> 00:01:09.360 line:15%
to strength - and you can flourish in your senior years.
22
00:01:09.360 --> 00:01:12.630 line:15%
And this comes with a great study guide. My friends,
23
00:01:12.630 --> 00:01:14.160 line:15%
this is teaching you really need
24
00:01:14.160 --> 00:01:15.480 line:15%
to get down deep inside you.
25
00:01:15.480 --> 00:01:17.670 line:15%
You need to renew your mind to the truth
26
00:01:17.670 --> 00:01:20.220 line:15%
that you can flourish as you get older.
27
00:01:20.220 --> 00:01:22.950 line:15%
And we're also offering you now my book,
28
00:01:22.950 --> 00:01:24.360 line:15%
which is called, A Life Ablaze:
29
00:01:24.360 --> 00:01:28.170 line:15%
10 Simple Keys to Living on Fire for God.
30
00:01:28.170 --> 00:01:30.900 line:15%
You're not supposed to be on
fire for God when you're young
31
00:01:30.900 --> 00:01:32.820 line:15%
and then lose it as you get older.
32
00:01:32.820 --> 00:01:36.300 line:15%
You're to be A Life Ablaze to the end of your life.
33
00:01:36.300 --> 00:01:37.500 line:15%
And you need this book.
34
00:01:37.500 --> 00:01:40.050 line:15%
If you don't have yours already, why not?
35
00:01:40.050 --> 00:01:43.350 line:15%
This is a book you need to devour,
36
00:01:43.350 --> 00:01:46.200 line:15%
but you can order all these
things by going online
37
00:01:46.200 --> 00:01:48.720 line:15%
or by giving us a call right now.
38
00:01:48.720 --> 00:01:50.880 line:15%
And when you reach out to
us, we wanna pray for you.
39
00:01:50.880 --> 00:01:53.550 line:15%
So please just let us know how to pray.
40
00:01:53.550 --> 00:01:55.260 line:15%
Let us know what's going on.
41
00:01:55.260 --> 00:01:57.390 line:15%
Let us know what need you're facing
42
00:01:57.390 --> 00:02:00.570 line:15%
and we will scripturally pray with you.
43
00:02:00.570 --> 00:02:03.990 line:15%
We're told in 1 John 5:14
44
00:02:03.990 --> 00:02:06.510 line:15%
that if we ask anything according to his will,
45
00:02:06.510 --> 00:02:08.490 line:15%
his will is his word.
46
00:02:08.490 --> 00:02:10.410 line:15%
So we will pray scripturally.
47
00:02:10.410 --> 00:02:13.920 line:15%
And if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us.
48
00:02:13.920 --> 00:02:16.170 line:15%
Which means when you pray the word of God
49
00:02:16.170 --> 00:02:18.720 line:15%
and you pray scripturally, God's ears open
50
00:02:18.720 --> 00:02:20.220 line:15%
and the verse goes on to say,
51
00:02:20.220 --> 00:02:23.640 line:15%
and if he hears us, we
know we have the petitions
52
00:02:23.640 --> 00:02:24.780 line:15%
that we ask of him.
53
00:02:24.780 --> 00:02:28.560 line:15%
So we'll pray scripturally
with you, God will hear us
54
00:02:28.560 --> 00:02:31.440 line:15%
and Jesus will do exactly what needs
55
00:02:31.440 --> 00:02:34.500 line:15%
to be done in your life.
56
00:02:34.500 --> 00:02:37.440 line:15%
Say - Amen. But call us or send us an email.
57
00:02:37.440 --> 00:02:39.510 line:15%
And before I get into today's teaching,
58
00:02:39.510 --> 00:02:41.130 line:15%
I just wanna say partners, thank you.
59
00:02:41.130 --> 00:02:42.600 line:15%
You're so amazing.
60
00:02:42.600 --> 00:02:46.590 line:15%
You are truly our
partners in the ministry.
61
00:02:46.590 --> 00:02:49.050 line:15%
We're told in Proverbs 10:21 that the lips
62
00:02:49.050 --> 00:02:51.000 line:15%
of the righteous feed many.
63
00:02:51.000 --> 00:02:54.540 line:15%
And I know that is my task
to bring the trusted teaching
64
00:02:54.540 --> 00:02:57.180 line:15%
of the Bible to people all over the earth.
65
00:02:57.180 --> 00:03:00.580 line:15%
And there really are people all over the earth watching this
66
00:03:00.580 --> 00:03:03.730 line:15%
program because they're so
hungry for the word of God
67
00:03:03.730 --> 00:03:06.730 line:15%
and I can do my part, but
you also do your part.
68
00:03:06.730 --> 00:03:08.800 line:15%
That's why I call you my partner.
69
00:03:08.800 --> 00:03:12.910 line:15%
And together we are really
impacting people's lives.
70
00:03:12.910 --> 00:03:16.420 line:15%
So today I just wanted to
say partners, thank you
71
00:03:16.420 --> 00:03:19.300 line:15%
for everything that you do.
72
00:03:19.300 --> 00:03:21.070 line:15%
Okay, reach for your Bible.
73
00:03:21.070 --> 00:03:22.810
We always use the Bible in this program.
74
00:03:22.810 --> 00:03:25.960 line:15%
And remember, we're believing for "A Revival
75
00:03:25.960 --> 00:03:28.750 line:15%
of the Bible" in the United States
76
00:03:28.750 --> 00:03:32.140 line:15%
and in the church. We need the verse by verse, word
77
00:03:32.140 --> 00:03:35.140 line:15%
by word teaching of the Bible.
78
00:03:35.140 --> 00:03:36.730 line:15%
But so far in this series,
79
00:03:36.730 --> 00:03:39.820 line:15%
we've been looking at
older people in scripture
80
00:03:39.820 --> 00:03:43.000 line:15%
who really experienced
the Golden Years in the
81
00:03:43.000 --> 00:03:44.230 line:15%
latter part of their life.
82
00:03:44.230 --> 00:03:47.800 line:15%
They were profitable all
the way to the very end.
83
00:03:47.800 --> 00:03:49.480
And we began with Enoch who lived
84
00:03:49.480 --> 00:03:53.770
to be 365 years old when he
had an experience with God
85
00:03:53.770 --> 00:03:56.620
and God took him: what a great age
86
00:03:56.620 --> 00:03:58.060
to have a new encounter with God.
87
00:03:58.060 --> 00:03:59.440
Then we looked at Noah,
88
00:03:59.440 --> 00:04:02.140
who really got his start when he was 500
89
00:04:02.140 --> 00:04:04.360
years old.
90
00:04:04.360 --> 00:04:05.620
That is amazing.
91
00:04:05.620 --> 00:04:08.200
Then we moved to the example of Abraham
92
00:04:08.200 --> 00:04:11.740
who had a life transforming
encounter with God at the age
93
00:04:11.740 --> 00:04:13.600
of 75.
94
00:04:13.600 --> 00:04:16.180
75 is a great age for you
95
00:04:16.180 --> 00:04:18.820
to have a life transforming
encounter with God.
96
00:04:18.820 --> 00:04:21.310
Then we looked at the example of Sarah
97
00:04:21.310 --> 00:04:25.120
who was 90 years old when God told her she was
98
00:04:25.120 --> 00:04:28.120
supernaturally going to conceive and give birth to a baby.
99
00:04:28.120 --> 00:04:31.570
And she was actually 91 when
she gave birth to that baby.
100
00:04:31.570 --> 00:04:35.380
And by that time Abraham was 100 years old.
101
00:04:35.380 --> 00:04:38.890
That is just amazing. That is amazing.
102
00:04:38.890 --> 00:04:41.560
And then we saw the example of Caleb who at the age
103
00:04:41.560 --> 00:04:45.100
of 85 was not ready to park on the couch.
104
00:04:45.100 --> 00:04:48.670
He said, give me that mountain. I want one more assignment.
105
00:04:48.670 --> 00:04:50.920
And the mountain that he
asked for is a mountain
106
00:04:50.920 --> 00:04:53.020
that was filled with the Nephilim.
107
00:04:53.020 --> 00:04:55.510
It was filled with giants.
He said, give me that one.
108
00:04:55.510 --> 00:04:58.330
Give me the big assignment,
I'm ready for it.
109
00:04:58.330 --> 00:05:01.150
And he was ready. He'd been
training his whole life
110
00:05:01.150 --> 00:05:02.410
now at the age of 85.
111
00:05:02.410 --> 00:05:05.380
He was really ready
for the big assignment.
112
00:05:05.380 --> 00:05:09.220
Then we saw the example of Daniel.
113
00:05:09.220 --> 00:05:12.070
And Daniel served 9-kings
114
00:05:12.070 --> 00:05:14.650
or 9-administrations.
115
00:05:14.650 --> 00:05:15.790
That is amazing.
116
00:05:15.790 --> 00:05:18.430
And it seems that Daniel died when he was near
117
00:05:18.430 --> 00:05:19.510
a 100 years old.
118
00:05:19.510 --> 00:05:24.160
He was sharp all the way to the end - my friends -
119
00:05:24.160 --> 00:05:26.380
this scripture is just filled with people
120
00:05:26.380 --> 00:05:29.200
who flourished in their senior years.
121
00:05:29.200 --> 00:05:31.930 line:15%
And today we're going to look at the example of Anna
122
00:05:31.930 --> 00:05:35.680 line:15%
who is a prophetess who is identified in Luke 2.
123
00:05:35.680 --> 00:05:40.210 line:15%
But first I want to say again that in Psalm 91:16,
124
00:05:40.210 --> 00:05:43.030
we have this promise from the mouth of God -
125
00:05:43.030 --> 00:05:45.790
With long life will I satisfy him
126
00:05:45.790 --> 00:05:48.760
and show him my salvation.
127
00:05:48.760 --> 00:05:51.910
That word salvation is a complete package.
128
00:05:51.910 --> 00:05:55.480
It includes healing, soundness of mind,
129
00:05:55.480 --> 00:05:57.710
which means even in your long life,
130
00:05:57.710 --> 00:05:59.630
you can have soundness of mind.
131
00:05:59.630 --> 00:06:03.410
You do not have to have
dementia or memory problems.
132
00:06:03.410 --> 00:06:05.120
You can have soundness of mind.
133
00:06:05.120 --> 00:06:08.450
It includes healing, it
includes preservation,
134
00:06:08.450 --> 00:06:11.510
it includes wealth, it
includes prosperity.
135
00:06:11.510 --> 00:06:15.800
All of that is in the
package of salvation.
136
00:06:15.800 --> 00:06:18.470
And in Psalm 91:16, God says He wants
137
00:06:18.470 --> 00:06:20.480
to show us his salvation.
138
00:06:20.480 --> 00:06:23.150
He wants to demonstrate
it to us in our life.
139
00:06:23.150 --> 00:06:25.760
And the first part of the
verse says, with long life,
140
00:06:25.760 --> 00:06:28.010
will I satisfy him.
141
00:06:28.010 --> 00:06:32.390
Say - Amen. The word, long, in the original Hebrew speaks
142
00:06:32.390 --> 00:06:35.240
of length of days or longevity.
143
00:06:35.240 --> 00:06:38.030
The word, life, is actually the word for days.
144
00:06:38.030 --> 00:06:41.390
So you would translate it - with long, long days
145
00:06:41.390 --> 00:06:45.950
or very long life will I satisfy him.
146
00:06:45.950 --> 00:06:49.370
And the word, satisfy, in Hebrew means to have enough,
147
00:06:49.370 --> 00:06:52.190
to have plenty of or to be fully satisfied
148
00:06:52.190 --> 00:06:55.760
which means, according to this verse, you do not have
149
00:06:55.760 --> 00:06:59.000
to leave life until you are satisfied.
150
00:06:59.000 --> 00:07:02.930
And in Psalm 91:1, we find this promise belongs
151
00:07:02.930 --> 00:07:06.350
to anyone who dwells in
the shadow of the Almighty.
152
00:07:06.350 --> 00:07:07.760
So if you're walking with the Lord
153
00:07:07.760 --> 00:07:10.550
and you're walking in his
shadow, you can lay claim
154
00:07:10.550 --> 00:07:15.230
to Psalm 91:16 - with a long life will I satisfy him
155
00:07:15.230 --> 00:07:17.300
and show him, marvelously
156
00:07:17.300 --> 00:07:20.330
show him, everything about salvation.
157
00:07:20.330 --> 00:07:22.730
My friends, God wants you to be a trophy
158
00:07:22.730 --> 00:07:26.630
of his grace all the way
to the end of your life.
159
00:07:27.980 --> 00:07:30.290
And the blessings of a
long life are promised
160
00:07:30.290 --> 00:07:32.600
to us all over the scriptures.
161
00:07:32.600 --> 00:07:33.740
We really covered many
162
00:07:33.740 --> 00:07:36.200
of them in the 1st program in this series,
163
00:07:36.200 --> 00:07:37.970
but I wanna give you
these statistics again.
164
00:07:37.970 --> 00:07:42.740 line:15%
New studies show us that the
most productive age is from 60
165
00:07:42.740 --> 00:07:45.620 line:15%
to 70 years of life.
166
00:07:45.620 --> 00:07:49.310 line:15%
Thus 2nd most productive age is from 70
167
00:07:49.310 --> 00:07:50.510 line:15%
to 80 years of life.
168
00:07:50.510 --> 00:07:54.410 line:15%
The 3rd most productive age is from 50 to 60, which is
169
00:07:54.410 --> 00:07:57.650 line:15%
what most people would think
is the most productive.
170
00:07:57.650 --> 00:07:58.730 line:15%
But actually when you're 50
171
00:07:58.730 --> 00:07:59.990 line:15%
and 60, you're just getting ready
172
00:07:59.990 --> 00:08:03.620 line:15%
for the most productive
years, which is 60 to 70.
173
00:08:03.620 --> 00:08:06.740 line:15%
The 2nd most productive years from 70 to 80.
174
00:08:06.740 --> 00:08:08.750 line:15%
And the average age
175
00:08:08.750 --> 00:08:12.500 line:15%
of Nobel Peace Prize winners is their late 60's,
176
00:08:12.500 --> 00:08:13.730 line:15%
their early 70's,
177
00:08:13.730 --> 00:08:15.740 line:15%
which means if they had given up earlier,
178
00:08:15.740 --> 00:08:18.350 line:15%
they would've never achieved that prize.
179
00:08:18.350 --> 00:08:20.180 line:15%
The average age of presidents
180
00:08:20.180 --> 00:08:24.830 line:15%
of large corporations is in their late 60's.
181
00:08:24.830 --> 00:08:26.600 line:15%
The average age of the pastors
182
00:08:26.600 --> 00:08:30.530 line:15%
of the world's largest
churches is 71 years old.
183
00:08:30.530 --> 00:08:34.910 line:15%
The average age of popes
when they become Pope is 78.
184
00:08:34.910 --> 00:08:37.550 line:15%
You talk about a big
assignment at the age of 78,
185
00:08:37.550 --> 00:08:38.870 line:15%
that's a big assignment
186
00:08:38.870 --> 00:08:40.790 line:15%
and it means the best years
187
00:08:40.790 --> 00:08:44.240 line:15%
of your life are from 60 to 80.
188
00:08:44.240 --> 00:08:49.240 line:15%
Say that - the best years of my life are from 60 to 80.
189
00:08:49.310 --> 00:08:52.940 line:15%
So at 60 you begin to reach your potential
190
00:08:52.940 --> 00:08:57.360 line:15%
and it reaches all the way into your 80's
191
00:08:57.360 --> 00:08:59.040 line:15%
lay claim to that.
192
00:08:59.040 --> 00:09:00.720 line:15%
And if you're between 60
193
00:09:00.720 --> 00:09:03.570 line:15%
and 70, you are right now in the best mental
194
00:09:03.570 --> 00:09:04.800 line:15%
years of your life.
195
00:09:04.800 --> 00:09:06.270 line:15%
And if you're between 70
196
00:09:06.270 --> 00:09:09.720 line:15%
and 80, you're in the 2nd best mental years of your life.
197
00:09:09.720 --> 00:09:12.660 line:15%
And I say the first 30 years of our life,
198
00:09:12.660 --> 00:09:15.450 line:15%
we are learning; the 2nd 30 years of our life
199
00:09:15.450 --> 00:09:18.210 line:15%
we are doing; the 3rd 30 years of our life
200
00:09:18.210 --> 00:09:20.880 line:15%
we should spend our time imparting to others
201
00:09:20.880 --> 00:09:22.980 line:15%
and helping others get a good start.
202
00:09:22.980 --> 00:09:24.630
But, today I want you
203
00:09:24.630 --> 00:09:27.180 line:15%
to tell you a story about my grandmothers.
204
00:09:27.180 --> 00:09:29.610
When I was a child - are you ready for this -
205
00:09:29.610 --> 00:09:31.830
I had 7-living grandmothers.
206
00:09:31.830 --> 00:09:34.710
Alright, let me count them for
you and just gimme a moment
207
00:09:34.710 --> 00:09:36.960
because sometimes I forget one of them. First of all,
208
00:09:36.960 --> 00:09:39.030
I had great-Grandmother Miller.
209
00:09:39.030 --> 00:09:40.440
She was a faith healer
210
00:09:40.440 --> 00:09:43.140
before the state of Oklahoma was ever a state.
211
00:09:43.140 --> 00:09:46.290
She traveled, she cast out demons, she healed the sick.
212
00:09:46.290 --> 00:09:48.630
That was great-Grandmother Miller.
213
00:09:48.630 --> 00:09:52.950
Then we had Grandmother Cora,
then we had Grandmother Joe,
214
00:09:52.950 --> 00:09:55.920
then we had Grandmother Renner, we had Grandmother Faulkner,
215
00:09:55.920 --> 00:09:58.230
we had Grandma Eddie and Grandma Bagley - there,
216
00:09:58.230 --> 00:10:00.990
I got 'em - all 7 of them.
217
00:10:00.990 --> 00:10:04.470
And all 7 of them, with the exception of one,
218
00:10:04.470 --> 00:10:08.100
was mentally bright all the way to the end of their lives.
219
00:10:08.100 --> 00:10:11.040
And most of them, with the exception of one, lived
220
00:10:11.040 --> 00:10:13.890
to be in their late 80's or their 90's.
221
00:10:13.890 --> 00:10:15.330
But I wanna tell you about Grandma Renner.
222
00:10:15.330 --> 00:10:17.460
Grandma Renner was precious to me.
223
00:10:17.460 --> 00:10:19.350
She just lived a little ways from us
224
00:10:19.350 --> 00:10:20.370
when we were growing up.
225
00:10:20.370 --> 00:10:22.530
And when I was a child,
I loved to walk over
226
00:10:22.530 --> 00:10:24.450
to see Grandpa and Grandma Renner.
227
00:10:24.450 --> 00:10:27.780
I talk about them in my book,
which is called Unlikely.
228
00:10:27.780 --> 00:10:29.370
He was good with his hands.
229
00:10:29.370 --> 00:10:31.830
He made all kinds of things
and she was a seamstress
230
00:10:31.830 --> 00:10:33.150
and she was a wonderful cook.
231
00:10:33.150 --> 00:10:36.630
And ugh, she made amazing
biscuits and gravy.
232
00:10:36.630 --> 00:10:39.150
I can almost still taste
them when I'm talking
233
00:10:39.150 --> 00:10:42.540
to you about them. But when Grandma Renner got older,
234
00:10:42.540 --> 00:10:44.040
she was pretty immobile.
235
00:10:44.040 --> 00:10:45.990
She was brilliant, she was bright.
236
00:10:45.990 --> 00:10:47.070
Nothing wrong with her mind,
237
00:10:47.070 --> 00:10:48.210
but she didn't get around a lot.
238
00:10:48.210 --> 00:10:50.070
There was really nothing wrong with her,
239
00:10:50.070 --> 00:10:52.410
but she just kind of chose to sit still.
240
00:10:52.410 --> 00:10:55.140
And when she chose to sit
still, she lost her mobility.
241
00:10:55.140 --> 00:10:57.120
And one day I went to see her
242
00:10:57.120 --> 00:10:59.220
and I said, Grandma, you're such a blessing.
243
00:10:59.220 --> 00:11:03.270
She said, ah, Ricky, I'm of no value to anybody.
244
00:11:03.270 --> 00:11:04.770
She was in her 90's.
245
00:11:04.770 --> 00:11:06.810
I said, Grandma, why would you say that?
246
00:11:06.810 --> 00:11:10.140
She said, I don't do anything
but sit in this chair
247
00:11:10.140 --> 00:11:11.280
and just pray for you.
248
00:11:11.280 --> 00:11:13.980
That's all I do. I said, Grandma,
249
00:11:13.980 --> 00:11:16.740
it's probably the most valuable thing you've ever done
250
00:11:16.740 --> 00:11:19.650
with your life: sitting in that chair praying for me.
251
00:11:19.650 --> 00:11:24.300
You have a part in what God
is doing through our ministry.
252
00:11:24.300 --> 00:11:26.640
And when we come today to the subject of Anna
253
00:11:26.640 --> 00:11:29.970
who was a prophetess, I always think of Grandma Renner
254
00:11:29.970 --> 00:11:32.160
who said, I'm not of any value to anybody
255
00:11:32.160 --> 00:11:33.390
because all I do is pray.
256
00:11:33.390 --> 00:11:36.480
When in fact when you get
older, you are really primed
257
00:11:36.480 --> 00:11:39.270
to pray for people more
effectively than you have ever
258
00:11:39.270 --> 00:11:42.540
prayed for people. My friends, grab hold of this
259
00:11:42.540 --> 00:11:44.610
as the golden age of your life
260
00:11:44.610 --> 00:11:47.250
and make every minute
count to the very end.
261
00:11:47.250 --> 00:11:51.270
And Anna, the prophetess, was a woman who refused
262
00:11:51.270 --> 00:11:53.890
to acknowledge that the clock was ticking.
263
00:11:53.890 --> 00:11:57.820
And when we come to Luke 2:36, we begin
264
00:11:57.820 --> 00:12:00.520
to read the story of this Anna: and the Bible says
265
00:12:00.520 --> 00:12:04.545
And there was one Anna, a prophetess -
266
00:12:04.545 --> 00:12:08.290
so she was a prophet - the daughter of Phanuel,
267
00:12:08.290 --> 00:12:09.700
of the tribe of Asher.
268
00:12:09.700 --> 00:12:12.430
And the Bible says she was of great age -
269
00:12:12.430 --> 00:12:17.260
and had lived with a husband 7-years from her virginity.
270
00:12:17.260 --> 00:12:19.060
So in this verse, we find out several
271
00:12:19.060 --> 00:12:20.110
things about this, Anna.
272
00:12:20.110 --> 00:12:24.070
First, Luke identifies Anna as a prophetess.
273
00:12:24.070 --> 00:12:26.710
So she was a mouthpiece
for the spirit of God.
274
00:12:26.710 --> 00:12:29.680
And God spoke through her
and she spoke prophetically.
275
00:12:29.680 --> 00:12:32.740
She was a prophetic individual
through whom the spirit
276
00:12:32.740 --> 00:12:34.090
of prophecy operated.
277
00:12:34.090 --> 00:12:37.810
And she was well known
in the city of Jerusalem.
278
00:12:37.810 --> 00:12:40.330
But then when you come to Luke 2:37,
279
00:12:40.330 --> 00:12:44.470
it goes on to say she - that is this, Anna was a widow
280
00:12:44.470 --> 00:12:48.670
of about fourscore and four years, which is 84 years.
281
00:12:48.670 --> 00:12:50.590
Well, a score is 20 years.
282
00:12:50.590 --> 00:12:54.010
So....four score in four years would be
283
00:12:54.010 --> 00:12:55.600
84 years of age.
284
00:12:55.600 --> 00:12:58.660
However, the Greek text is not clear as
285
00:12:58.660 --> 00:13:01.240
to whether she was 84 years old
286
00:13:01.240 --> 00:13:03.820
or whether she had been
a widow for 84 years.
287
00:13:03.820 --> 00:13:06.400
But regardless, we know from this text,
288
00:13:06.400 --> 00:13:07.990
she was quite elderly.
289
00:13:07.990 --> 00:13:11.680
She was at least 84 years old.
290
00:13:11.680 --> 00:13:14.860
And if she had been a widow for 84 years,
291
00:13:14.860 --> 00:13:17.830
then it means probably she was closer to the age of 80
292
00:13:17.830 --> 00:13:20.200
when we come to Luke 2:37,
293
00:13:20.200 --> 00:13:23.890
but whatever the case, this,
Anna was an older woman
294
00:13:23.890 --> 00:13:27.460
who was recognized as an
indisputable prophetess
295
00:13:27.460 --> 00:13:30.970
of God in the city of Jerusalem.
296
00:13:30.970 --> 00:13:32.980
She didn't move off the playing field just
297
00:13:32.980 --> 00:13:34.330
because she was elderly,
298
00:13:34.330 --> 00:13:38.020
she was recognized as a very accurate prophetess
299
00:13:38.020 --> 00:13:40.720
of God in the city of Jerusalem.
300
00:13:40.720 --> 00:13:42.040
Well, she ought to be accurate.
301
00:13:42.040 --> 00:13:44.680
She's been walking with God for decades and decades.
302
00:13:44.680 --> 00:13:47.950
And likewise, when you walk with God longer and longer
303
00:13:47.950 --> 00:13:51.730
and longer, your spiritual ear becomes keener to hear
304
00:13:51.730 --> 00:13:53.200
what God is really saying to you.
305
00:13:53.200 --> 00:13:56.110
And this Anna, now, at
least at the age of 84,
306
00:13:56.110 --> 00:13:59.200
very clearly heard what God was saying.
307
00:13:59.200 --> 00:14:03.880
Then in Luke 2:37 we read that - She departed not
308
00:14:03.880 --> 00:14:07.210
from the temple, but served God with fastings
309
00:14:07.210 --> 00:14:10.030
and prayer night and day.
310
00:14:10.030 --> 00:14:13.450
Notice it says she departed
not from the temple.
311
00:14:13.450 --> 00:14:16.510
It means she was so devoted to the temple
312
00:14:16.510 --> 00:14:18.670
and to the word that God had
given her about the coming
313
00:14:18.670 --> 00:14:22.510
of the Messiah, that she
refused to leave the premises
314
00:14:22.510 --> 00:14:26.230
of the temple and it implies she had living quarters
315
00:14:26.230 --> 00:14:28.510
somewhere on the temple premises.
316
00:14:28.510 --> 00:14:32.650
So she stayed very near because she had a word from God.
317
00:14:32.650 --> 00:14:35.410
You have a word from God? Maybe you say - Well,
318
00:14:35.410 --> 00:14:37.630
I'm getting old, I'm never gonna see it come to pass.
319
00:14:37.630 --> 00:14:40.030
She was at least 84 years old,
320
00:14:40.030 --> 00:14:42.280
maybe even close to a 100.
321
00:14:42.280 --> 00:14:45.010
But she was not leaving
the temple premises
322
00:14:45.010 --> 00:14:46.960
because she had a word from God
323
00:14:46.960 --> 00:14:48.760
that she would see the Messiah
324
00:14:48.760 --> 00:14:51.470
and he would be revealed
there near the temple.
325
00:14:51.470 --> 00:14:53.600
So she never left the temple
326
00:14:53.600 --> 00:14:56.750
because even in her old age she was holding out
327
00:14:56.750 --> 00:14:59.000
for the promise of God to be fulfilled to her.
328
00:14:59.000 --> 00:15:01.100
And the words, night and day,
329
00:15:01.100 --> 00:15:03.699
depicts a nonstop life of prayer
330
00:15:03.699 --> 00:15:05.630
and intercession.
331
00:15:05.630 --> 00:15:08.240
She was praying, she was interceding.
332
00:15:08.240 --> 00:15:11.480
This was a moment in her life
when she had time to pray
333
00:15:11.480 --> 00:15:16.480
and to intercede. As a prophetess who knew the voice
334
00:15:16.520 --> 00:15:17.660
of the Holy Spirit,
335
00:15:17.660 --> 00:15:20.810
Anna kept her spiritual sail hoisted
336
00:15:20.810 --> 00:15:22.820
to catch the movement of the spirit
337
00:15:22.820 --> 00:15:23.960
and she was waiting for
338
00:15:23.960 --> 00:15:26.630
that moment when the Holy Spirit was going to move upon her
339
00:15:26.630 --> 00:15:29.720
and tell her that the Messiah was there on the
340
00:15:29.720 --> 00:15:31.520
temple premises.
341
00:15:31.520 --> 00:15:32.840
She had prophetically heard
342
00:15:32.840 --> 00:15:36.380
and proclaimed that the
coming of the Messiah was near
343
00:15:36.380 --> 00:15:40.220
and she was waiting to see
his arrival with her own eyes.
344
00:15:40.220 --> 00:15:41.810 line:15%
And she had forecasted
345
00:15:41.810 --> 00:15:46.190 line:15%
that when he came he would bring redemption.
346
00:15:46.190 --> 00:15:49.400 line:15%
And the original text literally says she did not step away
347
00:15:49.400 --> 00:15:51.350 line:15%
from the temple grounds.
348
00:15:51.350 --> 00:15:56.120 line:15%
So think about it. She was so expected to see the Messiah
349
00:15:56.120 --> 00:15:58.970
that she didn't take one step
away from the temple grounds
350
00:15:58.970 --> 00:16:02.660
lest she missed the long awaited moment.
351
00:16:02.660 --> 00:16:05.750
Her faith was engaged
352
00:16:05.750 --> 00:16:07.790
when she was at least 84 years old
353
00:16:07.790 --> 00:16:09.830
and possibly close to a 100 years old.
354
00:16:09.830 --> 00:16:11.660
So out of deep devotion,
355
00:16:11.660 --> 00:16:15.050
she stayed on site at all times
356
00:16:15.050 --> 00:16:19.190
and for decades as she waited with fastings
357
00:16:19.190 --> 00:16:22.430
and prayer night and day.
358
00:16:22.430 --> 00:16:25.280
And then we come to Luke 2:38, which says -
359
00:16:26.360 --> 00:16:30.380
And she coming in in that instant - those words, in
360
00:16:30.380 --> 00:16:33.830
that instant - means in that very hour,
361
00:16:33.830 --> 00:16:35.750
and it is intended in the Greek, to show us
362
00:16:35.750 --> 00:16:39.740
how synchronized she was in the way that she was led
363
00:16:39.740 --> 00:16:42.680
by the Spirit into the
temple where Jesus was at
364
00:16:42.680 --> 00:16:45.320
that very moment; she was walking in such
365
00:16:45.320 --> 00:16:46.760
harmony with the Holy Spirit
366
00:16:46.760 --> 00:16:49.190
and in that synchronized moment,
367
00:16:49.190 --> 00:16:51.260
she was coming in that instant.
368
00:16:51.260 --> 00:16:54.200
And she gave thanks likewise unto the Lord
369
00:16:54.200 --> 00:16:57.320
and spoke of him to all them that looked
370
00:16:57.320 --> 00:17:00.140
for redemption in Jerusalem.
371
00:17:00.140 --> 00:17:03.860
And that moment when she came in, there was Jesus
372
00:17:03.860 --> 00:17:04.940
with Joseph and Mary
373
00:17:04.940 --> 00:17:08.270
and Simeon, who was also prophesying over Jesus
374
00:17:08.270 --> 00:17:09.380
at that very moment.
375
00:17:09.380 --> 00:17:12.745
And she was so synchronized in
being led by the Holy Spirit
376
00:17:12.745 --> 00:17:16.070
that she came in in that very
hour, in that very moment,
377
00:17:16.070 --> 00:17:20.000
just in time to see Jesus manifest.
378
00:17:20.000 --> 00:17:21.590
She'd been waiting for decades.
379
00:17:21.590 --> 00:17:25.850
And now she saw the salvation
of God with her own eyes.
380
00:17:25.850 --> 00:17:30.020
She was holding on to the promise of God, still at the age
381
00:17:30.020 --> 00:17:34.310
of 84 or possibly close to 100 years old.
382
00:17:34.310 --> 00:17:38.480
And verse 38 says that arising
from her prophetic spirit.
383
00:17:38.480 --> 00:17:43.480
Anna spake of him to all them that looked for redemption
384
00:17:43.580 --> 00:17:46.370
in Jerusalem. And the word, looked, carries the idea
385
00:17:46.370 --> 00:17:48.560
of a holy expectation.
386
00:17:48.560 --> 00:17:51.750
She, along with others, were waiting
387
00:17:51.750 --> 00:17:55.440
to see the manifestation of the Messiah.
388
00:17:55.440 --> 00:17:57.090
And she was bound and determined
389
00:17:57.090 --> 00:17:58.710
she wasn't finished with life
390
00:17:58.710 --> 00:18:02.220
until she would see the promise of what God had said to her.
391
00:18:02.220 --> 00:18:05.730
She embraced the revelation that God had given
392
00:18:05.730 --> 00:18:07.800
to her about the coming of the Messiah.
393
00:18:07.800 --> 00:18:12.390
And when Anna saw Jesus, she immediately perceived
394
00:18:12.390 --> 00:18:14.400
that he was the Messiah.
395
00:18:14.400 --> 00:18:16.560
And that what she had heard or saw
396
00:18:16.560 --> 00:18:19.170
and knew had finally come to pass,
397
00:18:19.170 --> 00:18:22.620
she was seeing it with her own eyes and with Joseph Mary
398
00:18:22.620 --> 00:18:23.670
and the Christ child
399
00:18:23.670 --> 00:18:27.120
and Simeon nearby watching,
she prophetically began
400
00:18:27.120 --> 00:18:32.120
to prophesy over little Jesus who indeed was the Messiah,
401
00:18:32.280 --> 00:18:35.880
who was going to bring redemption to everyone in Jerusalem
402
00:18:35.880 --> 00:18:38.370
and to all of Israel and to the rest of the world.
403
00:18:38.370 --> 00:18:42.000
And the Holy Spirit let her know
404
00:18:42.000 --> 00:18:44.520
that she would see the coming of the Messiah.
405
00:18:44.520 --> 00:18:47.820
She embraced that divine revelation.
406
00:18:47.820 --> 00:18:50.760
She released her faith for it
407
00:18:50.760 --> 00:18:53.220
and she experienced precisely
408
00:18:53.220 --> 00:18:56.100
what the Holy Spirit
had communicated to her.
409
00:18:56.100 --> 00:19:00.090
And in spite of her elderly age,
410
00:19:00.090 --> 00:19:02.520
she was spiritually vital.
411
00:19:02.520 --> 00:19:04.680
Her faith was engaged.
412
00:19:04.680 --> 00:19:07.410
She was full of faith, she was active,
413
00:19:07.410 --> 00:19:11.250
she was robust in her
spiritual life, she refused
414
00:19:11.250 --> 00:19:12.870
to surrender to the age
415
00:19:12.870 --> 00:19:15.720
and she did not have her eyes on the clock
416
00:19:15.720 --> 00:19:19.050
and was determined she
would see the fulfillment
417
00:19:19.050 --> 00:19:22.980
of everything that God
had promised to her.
418
00:19:22.980 --> 00:19:24.720
Now that is amazing.
419
00:19:24.720 --> 00:19:29.670
She was 84 years old, at least possibly close
420
00:19:29.670 --> 00:19:31.800
to a 100 years old,
421
00:19:31.800 --> 00:19:34.860
and she refused to leave
the temple premises.
422
00:19:34.860 --> 00:19:38.850
She departed, not but was
fasting and praying night
423
00:19:38.850 --> 00:19:41.220
and day listening to the Holy Spirit.
424
00:19:41.220 --> 00:19:45.000
And now at least at 84 years of age,
425
00:19:45.000 --> 00:19:48.360
her spirit has become so sensitized
426
00:19:48.360 --> 00:19:51.240
that she's synchronized to
the moving of the Holy Spirit
427
00:19:51.240 --> 00:19:53.790
and he blows upon her and moves her.
428
00:19:53.790 --> 00:19:57.150
And she comes onto the temple
premises right at the time
429
00:19:57.150 --> 00:20:00.240
that Jesus was being dedicated
in the temple when Simeon
430
00:20:00.240 --> 00:20:01.350
was prophesying.
431
00:20:01.350 --> 00:20:03.360
And now she comes in, she sees
432
00:20:03.360 --> 00:20:05.940
with her own eyes the
salvation of the Lord.
433
00:20:05.940 --> 00:20:09.870
This was a woman who
refused to stop living just
434
00:20:09.870 --> 00:20:11.610
because she was getting older.
435
00:20:11.610 --> 00:20:13.260
And my friends, just
436
00:20:13.260 --> 00:20:16.830
because you may be a little
older doesn't mean you gotta
437
00:20:16.830 --> 00:20:19.080 line:15%
park on the couch and do nothing.
438
00:20:19.080 --> 00:20:20.880 line:15%
This is time for you to pray.
439
00:20:20.880 --> 00:20:23.130 line:15%
It's like my Grandma Renner, she said, oh,
440
00:20:23.130 --> 00:20:25.290 line:15%
I can't do anything but just
sit here and pray for you.
441
00:20:25.290 --> 00:20:27.360 line:15%
What a great opportunity.
442
00:20:27.360 --> 00:20:31.890 line:15%
This is a moment for you to embrace a life of prayer: seize
443
00:20:31.890 --> 00:20:35.460 line:15%
what is in front of you, do what you can do. My friends,
444
00:20:35.460 --> 00:20:38.220
these should be the Golden Years of your life.
445
00:20:38.220 --> 00:20:41.070
Just like Anna, you should have been listening to the spirit
446
00:20:41.070 --> 00:20:42.300
of God for so many years
447
00:20:42.300 --> 00:20:46.140 line:15%
that now you're synchronized
in your movement with him.
448
00:20:46.140 --> 00:20:49.060 line:15%
That can be true of you.
449
00:20:49.060 --> 00:20:51.610 line:15%
So rather than say, well, I'm just so old
450
00:20:51.610 --> 00:20:55.720 line:15%
and I'm just not any good to anybody: you need to say - Oh,
451
00:20:55.720 --> 00:20:59.380 line:15%
these are my senior years,
these are my Golden Years.
452
00:20:59.380 --> 00:21:02.350 line:15%
I can hear God better
than I've ever heard God.
453
00:21:02.350 --> 00:21:05.500
I'm gonna seize the moment.
I'm gonna pray night and day.
454
00:21:05.500 --> 00:21:10.500
These are gonna be the
Golden Years of my life.
455
00:21:10.750 --> 00:21:14.920 line:15%
Hey, God is not a respecter of persons.
456
00:21:14.920 --> 00:21:18.190 line:15%
And if that could be true
of Anna the prophetess,
457
00:21:18.190 --> 00:21:20.200 line:15%
then you can lay claim to it.
458
00:21:20.200 --> 00:21:21.730 line:15%
And it can be true about you too
459
00:21:21.730 --> 00:21:23.830 line:15%
because God's not a respecter of persons.
460
00:21:23.830 --> 00:21:27.460 line:15%
And if he did it for her, God will also do it
461
00:21:27.460 --> 00:21:29.380 line:15%
for you - my friends -
462
00:21:29.380 --> 00:21:31.060 line:15%
it is God's plan for you
463
00:21:31.060 --> 00:21:35.110 line:15%
to flourish in your senior years.
464
00:21:35.110 --> 00:21:36.670
Well, I've got more to say to you
465
00:21:36.670 --> 00:21:38.740
and then I'll be right back.
466
00:21:38.740 --> 00:21:41.740
The Lord promises to
satisfy us with long life
467
00:21:41.740 --> 00:21:44.260
and salvation so we can rest assured,
468
00:21:44.260 --> 00:21:46.330
aging is not something to dread.
469
00:21:46.330 --> 00:21:48.310
If you're not satisfied with your life,
470
00:21:48.310 --> 00:21:49.780
your life is not over.
471
00:21:49.780 --> 00:21:52.720
God will speak to you and use you at any age.
472
00:21:52.720 --> 00:21:54.400
So don't throw in the towel.

Hey, this is Rick
Renner and I am in Tulsa.
499
00:23:14.950 --> 00:23:16.360
And look who's with me.
500
00:23:16.360 --> 00:23:20.080
This is part of our Tulsa staff. Around the whole world,
501
00:23:20.080 --> 00:23:24.250
we have about 300 employees that work in this ministry

and that is amazing to me.

Just look what the Lord has done
504
00:23:28.090 --> 00:23:30.670
and we're reaching people all
over the world in our various
505
00:23:30.670 --> 00:23:35.080
offices, but this is the
Tulsa team and they are heroes
506
00:23:35.080 --> 00:23:39.010
and they work every day in this building to minister to you
507
00:23:39.010 --> 00:23:40.390
by sending you resources,
508
00:23:40.390 --> 00:23:43.180
taking your calls, praying for you.
509
00:23:43.180 --> 00:23:44.695
And we're praying people, aren't we?
510
00:23:44.695 --> 00:23:47.420
Yes, we really are praying people,
511
00:23:47.420 --> 00:23:50.690
but God gave us this facility
512
00:23:50.690 --> 00:23:52.070
and we're trying to pay it off.
513
00:23:52.070 --> 00:23:57.070 line:15%
And now we've already paid off 87%.
514
00:23:57.170 --> 00:23:59.270 line:15%
We call it the Ministry Expansion Project
515
00:23:59.270 --> 00:24:02.060 line:15%
because once we're finished
paying this debt off,
516
00:24:02.060 --> 00:24:05.780
it's gonna free finances so we
can take the trusted teaching
517
00:24:05.780 --> 00:24:08.330 line:15%
to the Bible even further
to the ends of the earth.
518
00:24:08.330 --> 00:24:10.100 line:15%
And that's our call.
519
00:24:10.100 --> 00:24:12.650 line:15%
And if you're already a
member of the Giving Team
520
00:24:12.650 --> 00:24:15.770 line:15%
to help us retire the debt
on this building, I just want
521
00:24:15.770 --> 00:24:18.830 line:15%
to say thank you and we
all say thank you to you.
522
00:24:18.830 --> 00:24:21.530 line:15%
And if you're not a part
of the Giving Team yet,
523
00:24:21.530 --> 00:24:23.720 line:15%
I invite you today to join our Giving Team
524
00:24:23.720 --> 00:24:25.820 line:15%
to help us retire the debt.
525
00:24:25.820 --> 00:24:27.440 line:15%
It's really not about retiring the debt,
526
00:24:27.440 --> 00:24:29.720 line:15%
it's about releasing finances
527
00:24:29.720 --> 00:24:31.850 line:15%
so we can take the trusted
teaching of the Bible
528
00:24:31.850 --> 00:24:34.730 line:15%
to more people that are crying out for it.
529
00:24:34.730 --> 00:24:36.590 line:15%
So thank you for being a part of the team
530
00:24:36.590 --> 00:24:39.950 line:15%
and please pray about
joining our ministry team
531
00:24:39.950 --> 00:24:42.590 line:15%
to retire the debt on this facility.
532
00:24:55.430 --> 00:24:58.010
Well, today we've been looking
at the example of Anna,
533
00:24:58.010 --> 00:25:01.400
the prophetess who was
at least 84 years old,
534
00:25:01.400 --> 00:25:02.750
possibly even close
535
00:25:02.750 --> 00:25:06.500 line:15%
to a 100 when she saw the manifestation of God's promise
536
00:25:06.500 --> 00:25:08.750 line:15%
to her come to pass.
537
00:25:08.750 --> 00:25:11.270 line:15%
What if she had given
up and just gone home?
538
00:25:11.270 --> 00:25:12.770 line:15%
She would've missed it.
539
00:25:12.770 --> 00:25:16.760 line:15%
But she kept her faith
engaged even though she was
540
00:25:16.760 --> 00:25:18.110 line:15%
of great age
541
00:25:18.110 --> 00:25:22.040 line:15%
and she was spiritually
vital to the end of her life
542
00:25:22.040 --> 00:25:24.710 line:15%
and ended up in the pages of the Bible
543
00:25:24.710 --> 00:25:27.950 line:15%
because she refused to stop just
544
00:25:27.950 --> 00:25:30.110 line:15%
because the clock was ticking.
545
00:25:30.110 --> 00:25:32.570 line:15%
And my friends don't stop just
546
00:25:32.570 --> 00:25:34.760
because the calendar is turning or
547
00:25:34.760 --> 00:25:36.350
because the clock is ticking.
548
00:25:36.350 --> 00:25:40.250
These should be the Golden Years of your life.
549
00:25:41.270 --> 00:25:44.390 line:15%
Amen. But hey, please order the series which is called, How
550
00:25:44.390 --> 00:25:46.430 line:15%
to Flourish in Your Senior Years.
551
00:25:46.430 --> 00:25:48.080 line:15%
Remember that it comes with a study guide.
552
00:25:48.080 --> 00:25:49.100 line:15%
You need to renew your mind
553
00:25:49.100 --> 00:25:51.500 line:15%
to the truth about your senior years.
554
00:25:51.500 --> 00:25:53.390 line:15%
And we're also offering you my book,
555
00:25:53.390 --> 00:25:57.290 line:15%
which is called A Life Ablaze: 10 Simple Keys
556
00:25:57.290 --> 00:26:01.070 line:15%
to Living on Fire for God.
557
00:26:01.070 --> 00:26:03.620 line:15%
You can order these things by going online
558
00:26:03.620 --> 00:26:04.940
or by giving us a call.
559
00:26:04.940 --> 00:26:07.880 line:15%
And when you reach out to
us, let us know how to pray
560
00:26:07.880 --> 00:26:09.590 line:15%
for you because we're
waiting for the phone
561
00:26:09.590 --> 00:26:11.120 line:15%
to ring right now.
562
00:26:11.120 --> 00:26:14.570 line:15%
Just call the number on the
screen or send us an email
563
00:26:14.570 --> 00:26:16.460 line:15%
and the moment your email shows up,
564
00:26:16.460 --> 00:26:18.140 line:15%
we're gonna release our faith.
565
00:26:18.140 --> 00:26:19.550 line:15%
And Jesus is going
566
00:26:19.550 --> 00:26:23.030 line:15%
to do something just
spectacular in your life.
567
00:26:23.030 --> 00:26:25.970 line:15%
We're gonna pray with you
and God is going to move
568
00:26:25.970 --> 00:26:27.260 line:15%
and I'm gonna pray for you right now.
569
00:26:27.260 --> 00:26:28.970 line:15%
So put your hand on your heart.
570
00:26:28.970 --> 00:26:31.700 line:15%
Father, I thank you that you want the senior years
571
00:26:31.700 --> 00:26:34.910 line:15%
to be the best years: Lord, we know more,
572
00:26:34.910 --> 00:26:37.310 line:15%
we've lived enough to know what's right, what's wrong, what
573
00:26:37.310 --> 00:26:39.020 line:15%
to do, what not to do,
574
00:26:39.020 --> 00:26:41.000 line:15%
and rather than just park on the couch
575
00:26:41.000 --> 00:26:43.290 line:15%
and quit, help us to embrace life
576
00:26:43.290 --> 00:26:46.380 line:15%
and help us to use what
we have to be vital
577
00:26:46.380 --> 00:26:49.380 line:15%
to the very end, in Jesus' name -
578
00:26:51.060 --> 00:26:54.300 line:15%
Amen. Well, we got one more program in this series
579
00:26:54.300 --> 00:26:56.520
and tomorrow is really going to be good.
580
00:26:56.520 --> 00:26:59.130
So don't miss it. But until then,
581
00:26:59.130 --> 00:27:01.200
remember Ecclesiastes 8:4,
582
00:27:01.200 --> 00:27:05.490
it says, "Where the word of a king is, there is power."
583
00:27:05.490 --> 00:27:07.770
If you've never received Jesus as your Savior
584
00:27:07.770 --> 00:27:11.460 line:15%
and Lord, now is the time for
you to experience a new life
585
00:27:11.460 --> 00:27:13.110
Jesus has to give you.
586
00:27:13.110 --> 00:27:17.190 line:15%
Pray this prayer with me right now. Lord, I repent of my sin
587
00:27:17.190 --> 00:27:21.450
and receive you as my Savior and Lord. Wash away my sin
588
00:27:21.450 --> 00:27:23.850
and make me completely new.
589
00:27:23.850 --> 00:27:27.000
I thank you that my sin is removed
590
00:27:27.000 --> 00:27:31.830 line:15%
and Satan no longer has any
right to lay claim on me.
591
00:27:31.830 --> 00:27:35.160
I faithfully promise that
I will serve you as my Lord
592
00:27:35.160 --> 00:27:37.620 line:15%
for the rest of my life. Amen.
593
00:27:38.490 --> 00:27:41.100
If you just prayed the
prayer of salvation with us,
594
00:27:41.100 --> 00:27:42.810
would you please let us know by going
595
00:27:42.810 --> 00:27:45.180
