00:00:01.230 --> 00:00:03.720
This program is made possible by the giving
2
00:00:03.720 --> 00:00:06.960
of the God called partners of Renner Ministries.
3
00:00:08.190 --> 00:00:09.600
Welcome to today's program.
4
00:00:09.600 --> 00:00:10.890
My name is Rick Renner
5
00:00:10.890 --> 00:00:14.970
and I'm so glad you've let me
come right into your space.
6
00:00:14.970 --> 00:00:16.710
And today I'm gonna continue talking
7
00:00:16.710 --> 00:00:19.050
to you about the Ministry
of the Holy Spirit.
8
00:00:19.050 --> 00:00:22.020
But particularly today,
in this week, we're going
9
00:00:22.020 --> 00:00:24.660
to look at the results of
being filled with the Spirit
10
00:00:24.660 --> 00:00:28.500
and what is speaking in tongues
11
00:00:28.500 --> 00:00:30.690 line:15%
and is it really for everyone?
12
00:00:30.690 --> 00:00:33.990 line:15%
In fact, the entire series is called just that - What is
13
00:00:33.990 --> 00:00:36.690 line:15%
Speaking in Tongues_What It Is
14
00:00:36.690 --> 00:00:39.600 line:15%
And Is It Really For Everyone?
15
00:00:39.600 --> 00:00:41.910 line:15%
And I believe the Holy
Spirit has some answers
16
00:00:41.910 --> 00:00:45.630 line:15%
for you right here that's going to open a whole new world
17
00:00:45.630 --> 00:00:46.830 line:15%
of experience to you.
18
00:00:46.830 --> 00:00:49.530 line:15%
And this comes with a study guide
19
00:00:49.530 --> 00:00:52.290 line:15%
so you can read all the information while you're seeing
20
00:00:52.290 --> 00:00:53.790 line:15%
or hearing the series.
21
00:00:53.790 --> 00:00:56.790 line:15%
And this week we're continuing
to offer you my book,
22
00:00:56.790 --> 00:00:58.590 line:15%
which is called - The Holy Spirit
23
00:00:58.590 --> 00:01:02.850 line:15%
And You - Working together as Heavens Dynamic Duo
24
00:01:02.850 --> 00:01:06.060 line:15%
and my friends, that's what you're supposed to be; you
25
00:01:06.060 --> 00:01:08.070 line:15%
and the Holy Spirit when you hook up
26
00:01:08.070 --> 00:01:12.150 line:15%
and partner together, you are to be the Dynamic Duo.
27
00:01:12.150 --> 00:01:14.640 line:15%
The Holy Spirit wants to empower you
28
00:01:14.640 --> 00:01:16.560 line:15%
and he wants to work through you.
29
00:01:16.560 --> 00:01:18.750 line:15%
And that's what this book is about.
30
00:01:18.750 --> 00:01:22.290 line:15%
And we're also continuing
to offer you my book,
31
00:01:22.290 --> 00:01:26.220 line:15%
which is called, Why We Need the Gifts of the Holy Spirit.
32
00:01:26.220 --> 00:01:27.570 line:15%
You know it's strange
33
00:01:27.570 --> 00:01:28.890 line:15%
because it seems like the gifts
34
00:01:28.890 --> 00:01:32.760 line:15%
of the Holy Spirit have vanished from the Charismatic world.
35
00:01:32.760 --> 00:01:36.180 line:15%
They're still there, but
people are not making room
36
00:01:36.180 --> 00:01:37.560 line:15%
for the Holy Spirit to move.
37
00:01:37.560 --> 00:01:39.900 line:15%
And if you want to experience
the Holy Spirit's gifts
38
00:01:39.900 --> 00:01:42.900 line:15%
and his power, you have
to make room for it.
39
00:01:42.900 --> 00:01:45.570 line:15%
It's interesting to me that
we have multiple services
40
00:01:45.570 --> 00:01:48.150 line:15%
and we're making room for people,
41
00:01:48.150 --> 00:01:51.540 line:15%
but my friends in the
process, we have not made room
42
00:01:51.540 --> 00:01:52.860 line:15%
for the Holy Spirit.
43
00:01:52.860 --> 00:01:54.810 line:15%
And if the Holy Spirit's going to move
44
00:01:54.810 --> 00:01:56.940 line:15%
and express his gifts, you gotta make room
45
00:01:56.940 --> 00:01:58.620 line:15%
for him and my friends.
46
00:01:58.620 --> 00:02:00.720 line:15%
We need the gifts of the Holy Spirit.
47
00:02:00.720 --> 00:02:03.180 line:15%
And if you say, well, why do we need them?
48
00:02:03.180 --> 00:02:06.810 line:15%
Here's the answer, Why We Need
the Gifts of the Holy Spirit -
49
00:02:06.810 --> 00:02:08.100 line:15%
please order this.
50
00:02:08.100 --> 00:02:10.800 line:15%
And we're offering you my
brand new book that I'm
51
00:02:10.800 --> 00:02:14.460 line:15%
so excited about, which is called, Fallen Angels, Giants,
52
00:02:14.460 --> 00:02:19.170 line:15%
Monsters, and the World Before the Flood.
53
00:02:19.170 --> 00:02:23.010 line:15%
The Foreword is written by Perry Stone and Andrew Jones,
54
00:02:23.010 --> 00:02:26.310 line:15%
and the subtitle says - How the events of Noah's Ark
55
00:02:26.310 --> 00:02:30.090 line:15%
and the flood are relevant to the End of the Age.
56
00:02:30.090 --> 00:02:33.720 line:15%
Jesus said as it was in the
days of Noah, so it will be
57
00:02:33.720 --> 00:02:35.820 line:15%
before the coming of the son of man.
58
00:02:35.820 --> 00:02:37.620 line:15%
So whatever was happening in the world
59
00:02:37.620 --> 00:02:40.290 line:15%
before the flood, Jesus said it's going
60
00:02:40.290 --> 00:02:43.890 line:15%
to be replicated in some way
before the coming of Jesus.
61
00:02:43.890 --> 00:02:45.780 line:15%
So we need to know what that is.
62
00:02:45.780 --> 00:02:48.690 line:15%
And in this book we're
really dive into that subject
63
00:02:48.690 --> 00:02:51.870 line:15%
and we look at Fallen Angels, Giants, Monsters,
64
00:02:51.870 --> 00:02:53.520 line:15%
the World Before the Flood.
65
00:02:53.520 --> 00:02:58.510 line:15%
And in this book there are
300 pieces of art, graphs,
66
00:02:58.510 --> 00:03:02.230 line:15%
illustrations, photography,
including photographs
67
00:03:02.230 --> 00:03:05.890 line:15%
that my team and I took of the
actual ruins of Noah's Ark,
68
00:03:05.890 --> 00:03:08.950 line:15%
which are really lying on
the lower slopes in the
69
00:03:08.950 --> 00:03:10.360 line:15%
mountains of Ararat.
70
00:03:10.360 --> 00:03:11.620 line:15%
Anyway, it's all in this book
71
00:03:11.620 --> 00:03:15.340 line:15%
and this book also has 300 footnotes.
72
00:03:15.340 --> 00:03:17.410 line:15%
So you'll know it is really researched
73
00:03:17.410 --> 00:03:19.810 line:15%
and you can count on it to be reliable.
74
00:03:19.810 --> 00:03:22.900 line:15%
You know, we believe our job is to bring "Teaching
75
00:03:22.900 --> 00:03:24.040 line:15%
You Can Trust"
76
00:03:24.040 --> 00:03:26.950 line:15%
and I believe you can
trust what is in this book.
77
00:03:26.950 --> 00:03:29.830 line:15%
But when you reach out to us,
also let us know how to pray
78
00:03:29.830 --> 00:03:32.620 line:15%
for you because we wanna pray for you.
79
00:03:32.620 --> 00:03:35.740 line:15%
If you'll let us know how to
pray, we'll release our faith
80
00:03:35.740 --> 00:03:39.460 line:15%
and we will see God do
something wonderful for you.
81
00:03:39.460 --> 00:03:43.000 line:15%
So send us an email or call
the number on the screen
82
00:03:43.000 --> 00:03:45.940 line:15%
and when we hear from you,
we're gonna begin to pray.
83
00:03:45.940 --> 00:03:47.530
But I'll be back in just a moment.
84
00:03:48.400 --> 00:03:51.610
Get ready for a teaching
that feeds your spirit
85
00:03:51.610 --> 00:03:55.210
and your mind where the
word is the anchor in
86
00:03:55.210 --> 00:03:57.160
uncertain times
87
00:03:57.160 --> 00:04:01.900
and doctrine doesn't bend to culture. We keep it simple,
88
00:04:01.900 --> 00:04:06.490
but dive deep, revealing a truth that strengthens us,
89
00:04:07.330 --> 00:04:08.980
a love that emboldens
90
00:04:10.330 --> 00:04:12.490
and a mission that touches the world.
91
00:04:14.860 --> 00:04:16.390
Let's join Rick Renner.
92
00:04:18.190 --> 00:04:20.800
Today I'm beginning a new series called - What is Speaking
93
00:04:20.800 --> 00:04:24.820
in Tongues and Is It Really for Everyone?
94
00:04:24.820 --> 00:04:28.210
But before I get into this
subject, first I want to read
95
00:04:28.210 --> 00:04:31.600
for you 3-wonderful testimonies.
96
00:04:31.600 --> 00:04:34.480
One person said - Dear Rick, We're so blessed
97
00:04:34.480 --> 00:04:36.280
by your continued preaching
98
00:04:36.280 --> 00:04:38.740
of the uncompromised word of truth
99
00:04:38.740 --> 00:04:41.350
all these years. It's true
100
00:04:41.350 --> 00:04:43.510
that your ministry provides Teaching
101
00:04:43.510 --> 00:04:46.000
You Can Trust. May the Lord richly
102
00:04:46.000 --> 00:04:49.270
and abundantly bless you,
your family and your ministry.
103
00:04:49.270 --> 00:04:52.810
We love you. Thank you for expressing that to me.
104
00:04:52.810 --> 00:04:55.810
I really work hard to bring
you teaching you can trust
105
00:04:55.810 --> 00:04:57.760
and letting me know that it's a blessing
106
00:04:57.760 --> 00:04:59.980
to you really means something to me.
107
00:04:59.980 --> 00:05:03.280
But listen to the next testimony - Thank you Rick Renner.
108
00:05:03.280 --> 00:05:04.870
May God continue blessing
109
00:05:04.870 --> 00:05:07.150
and increasing your
precious family in your
110
00:05:07.150 --> 00:05:08.800
amazing ministry.
111
00:05:08.800 --> 00:05:10.810
You came to my church many years ago
112
00:05:10.810 --> 00:05:14.410
and ever since then I've
been hooked on your teaching.
113
00:05:14.410 --> 00:05:17.110
God led me to become a
partner with your ministry
114
00:05:17.110 --> 00:05:22.030
and thank you and God bless
all of you for what you do.
115
00:05:22.030 --> 00:05:24.370
Well, I wanna say "thank you" for what you do
116
00:05:24.370 --> 00:05:26.230
and thank you for being a partner.
117
00:05:26.230 --> 00:05:28.270
And if you're not a
partner with our ministry,
118
00:05:28.270 --> 00:05:31.870
please pray about becoming
a partner with our ministry.
119
00:05:31.870 --> 00:05:33.880
But here's one more testimony.
120
00:05:33.880 --> 00:05:37.990 line:15%
One dear man said the last time he called, he was asking God
121
00:05:37.990 --> 00:05:41.200 line:15%
for a financial blessing to
pay off his medical bills.
122
00:05:41.200 --> 00:05:44.320 line:15%
Well, today he called
back to say he was blessed
123
00:05:44.320 --> 00:05:49.270 line:15%
with almost $2,000 a month to
pay toward his medical bills
124
00:05:49.270 --> 00:05:51.430 line:15%
and he is even able to set aside money
125
00:05:51.430 --> 00:05:52.960 line:15%
for his grandchildren.
126
00:05:52.960 --> 00:05:55.210 line:15%
He's very happy about that
127
00:05:55.210 --> 00:05:57.320 line:15%
and he wanted to thank us for praying
128
00:05:57.320 --> 00:06:00.920 line:15%
and believing with him for
a financial turnaround.
129
00:06:00.920 --> 00:06:04.040 line:15%
Praise God. That really is a good report.
130
00:06:04.040 --> 00:06:06.290 line:15%
And we believe that when
we pray, God hears us
131
00:06:06.290 --> 00:06:07.820 line:15%
and God answers.
132
00:06:07.820 --> 00:06:10.190 line:15%
And if you need a financial
breakthrough, call us.
133
00:06:10.190 --> 00:06:11.690 line:15%
We'll pray with you too
134
00:06:11.690 --> 00:06:14.180 line:15%
and Jesus will do exactly what needs
135
00:06:14.180 --> 00:06:18.260 line:15%
to be done in your life.
But reach for your Bible.
136
00:06:18.260 --> 00:06:22.010
And today we're going to talk
about The First Work of Grace.
137
00:06:22.010 --> 00:06:23.180 line:15%
Now, when I was growing up,
138
00:06:23.180 --> 00:06:26.330
if I heard people talk about
the first work of grace
139
00:06:26.330 --> 00:06:28.970
and the second work of
grace, I would've found
140
00:06:28.970 --> 00:06:30.410
that very offensive
141
00:06:30.410 --> 00:06:32.630
because I thought that when I got saved,
142
00:06:32.630 --> 00:06:34.820
I got everything there was to receive.
143
00:06:34.820 --> 00:06:37.970
But later in life I discovered
there really is a first work
144
00:06:37.970 --> 00:06:40.370
of grace and a second work of grace.
145
00:06:40.370 --> 00:06:42.260 line:15%
And tomorrow we're gonna
be talking about the
146
00:06:42.260 --> 00:06:43.310 line:15%
second work of grace.
147
00:06:43.310 --> 00:06:45.020 line:15%
But you can't talk about that
148
00:06:45.020 --> 00:06:47.540 line:15%
until first you talk about
the first work of grace,
149
00:06:47.540 --> 00:06:50.090 line:15%
which is your salvation.
150
00:06:50.090 --> 00:06:53.930 line:15%
And the first time people were
actually born again under the
151
00:06:53.930 --> 00:06:55.370 line:15%
terms of the new Covenant
152
00:06:55.370 --> 00:07:00.230 line:15%
or the New Testament is in John 20:19-22.
153
00:07:00.230 --> 00:07:01.520
So let's go there.
154
00:07:01.520 --> 00:07:06.200
And in John 20:19-22, Jesus has come into a room
155
00:07:06.200 --> 00:07:08.810
where the disciples are
hiding for fear of the Jews.
156
00:07:08.810 --> 00:07:12.680 line:15%
And the Bible says - Then the
same day at evening being the
157
00:07:12.680 --> 00:07:15.350 line:15%
first day of the week
when the doors were shut,
158
00:07:15.350 --> 00:07:17.450 line:15%
where the disciples
were assembled for fear
159
00:07:17.450 --> 00:07:20.870 line:15%
of the Jews came Jesus
and stood in the midst
160
00:07:20.870 --> 00:07:24.980 line:15%
and said unto them - Peace be unto you.
161
00:07:24.980 --> 00:07:27.230 line:15%
Now stop. Notice those words -
162
00:07:27.230 --> 00:07:30.620 line:15%
Jesus said, peace be unto you.
163
00:07:30.620 --> 00:07:33.950 line:15%
And when he had so said, he shewed to them,
164
00:07:33.950 --> 00:07:35.540 line:15%
his hands and his side.
165
00:07:35.540 --> 00:07:38.690 line:15%
And then were the disciples
glad when they saw the Lord.
166
00:07:38.690 --> 00:07:43.010 line:15%
And then Jesus said to them again - listen -
167
00:07:43.010 --> 00:07:47.990 line:15%
Peace be unto you. As my father had sent me even
168
00:07:47.990 --> 00:07:49.130 line:15%
so send I you.
169
00:07:49.130 --> 00:07:53.570 line:15%
And when he had said
this, he breathed on them
170
00:07:53.570 --> 00:07:57.830 line:15%
and sayeth unto them,
receive ye the Holy Ghost.
171
00:07:57.830 --> 00:08:01.850 line:15%
And notice that twice Jesus
said, peace be unto you
172
00:08:01.850 --> 00:08:03.770
and then breathed on them.
173
00:08:03.770 --> 00:08:06.611
And the, phrase breathed on them, in Greek is the word -
174
00:08:06.611 --> 00:08:07.550
emphusaeo,
175
00:08:07.550 --> 00:08:11.210
which means to literally
breathe into or to inflate.
176
00:08:11.210 --> 00:08:14.210
It is the same word you would
use to describe the process
177
00:08:14.210 --> 00:08:17.810
of blowing into a balloon,
to inflate a balloon.
178
00:08:17.810 --> 00:08:20.300
Do you blow on the balloon
or do you blow into it?
179
00:08:20.300 --> 00:08:24.170
You blow into it and the
balloon receives your breath.
180
00:08:24.170 --> 00:08:27.290
And now Jesus literally breathes into them
181
00:08:27.290 --> 00:08:30.950
and they literally receive the life of God.
182
00:08:30.950 --> 00:08:33.260
And that is why Jesus continued to say to them,
183
00:08:33.260 --> 00:08:36.650
receive ye the Holy Ghost and receive ye,
184
00:08:36.650 --> 00:08:38.240
in Greek, is the word, labete.
185
00:08:38.240 --> 00:08:40.370
It's the direct form of the word lomano.
186
00:08:40.370 --> 00:08:44.690
It means take it right now
to actively receive it.
187
00:08:44.690 --> 00:08:48.110
And this was the moment when the spirit
188
00:08:48.110 --> 00:08:50.840
of God entered into the disciples
189
00:08:50.840 --> 00:08:53.360
and they were saved.
190
00:08:53.360 --> 00:08:56.730
Jesus literally breathed into them.
191
00:08:56.730 --> 00:08:57.990
And for the first time,
192
00:08:57.990 --> 00:09:01.620
the Holy Spirit literally
entered into their life.
193
00:09:01.620 --> 00:09:05.070
Now, it's interesting, these words, breathed upon: the Greek
194
00:09:05.070 --> 00:09:09.300
word, emphusaeo, is also found in Genesis 2:
195
00:09:09.300 --> 00:09:12.390
7, in the Septuagint version of the Old Testament
196
00:09:12.390 --> 00:09:15.240
where the Bible says - and the Lord God formed man
197
00:09:15.240 --> 00:09:16.560
of the dust of the ground
198
00:09:16.560 --> 00:09:18.270
and breathed into.
199
00:09:18.270 --> 00:09:21.270
That is the same identical word in the Greek text.
200
00:09:21.270 --> 00:09:25.380
And breathed into his nostrils the breath of life
201
00:09:25.380 --> 00:09:28.170
and man became a living soul.
202
00:09:28.170 --> 00:09:31.260
And in that moment, God literally breathed into
203
00:09:31.260 --> 00:09:32.970
Adam's lungs.
204
00:09:32.970 --> 00:09:35.430
Adam received the breath of God,
205
00:09:35.430 --> 00:09:37.440
he received the spirit of life.
206
00:09:37.440 --> 00:09:40.140
And in that moment, his
heart began to beat.
207
00:09:40.140 --> 00:09:43.710
He began to breathe and
he became a living soul.
208
00:09:43.710 --> 00:09:46.740
Now the same word is used in John 20
209
00:09:46.740 --> 00:09:49.020
to describe the moment when Jesus breathed
210
00:09:49.020 --> 00:09:50.700
into the disciples.
211
00:09:50.700 --> 00:09:52.320
Now, some people say that in
212
00:09:52.320 --> 00:09:54.990
that moment Jesus was just prophesying
213
00:09:54.990 --> 00:09:57.510
that in a certain number of
days on the day of Pentecost,
214
00:09:57.510 --> 00:09:59.010
you're gonna receive the Holy Spirit.
215
00:09:59.010 --> 00:10:00.480
No, no, no, no, no.
216
00:10:00.480 --> 00:10:03.510
He literally breathed into
them at that very moment.
217
00:10:03.510 --> 00:10:08.070
And at that very moment, the
Holy Spirit entered into them
218
00:10:08.070 --> 00:10:09.630
and they were born again.
219
00:10:09.630 --> 00:10:13.080
And that's why Jesus said, receive: the direct form
220
00:10:13.080 --> 00:10:15.930
of the Greek word lambano, which means - take it right now,
221
00:10:15.930 --> 00:10:18.450
receive this at this very moment.
222
00:10:18.450 --> 00:10:21.330
And Jesus was talking
about the Holy Spirit.
223
00:10:21.330 --> 00:10:24.540 line:15%
But up until that moment in
the Old Testament, the spirit
224
00:10:24.540 --> 00:10:26.310 line:15%
of God never lived in anyone.
225
00:10:26.310 --> 00:10:28.050 line:15%
He came on people.
226
00:10:28.050 --> 00:10:31.320 line:15%
For example, the Bible tells
us that he came on Saul.
227
00:10:31.320 --> 00:10:33.420
And temporarily Saul was empowered
228
00:10:33.420 --> 00:10:34.860
to be like a different man,
229
00:10:34.860 --> 00:10:36.570
but the spirit of God didn't come in.
230
00:10:36.570 --> 00:10:39.420
The Spirit of God came on
and the spirit of God left.
231
00:10:39.420 --> 00:10:41.760
If you studied the story of Samson,
232
00:10:41.760 --> 00:10:45.240
Samson suddenly would be moved
into divine power when the
233
00:10:45.240 --> 00:10:47.340
spirit of God came on him.
234
00:10:47.340 --> 00:10:48.720
But when the spirit of God lifted
235
00:10:48.720 --> 00:10:51.810
and left, he was reduced just
again to our regular man.
236
00:10:51.810 --> 00:10:55.380
The prophets of the Old Testament were able to prophesy
237
00:10:55.380 --> 00:10:57.120
and to do prophetic things when the spirit
238
00:10:57.120 --> 00:10:59.100
of God came on them.
239
00:10:59.100 --> 00:11:01.800
But then the spirit of God
would lift and would move on.
240
00:11:01.800 --> 00:11:05.220
The spirit of God never lived in anyone in
241
00:11:05.220 --> 00:11:06.330
the Old Testament.
242
00:11:06.330 --> 00:11:08.430
And when you come to John 20,
243
00:11:08.430 --> 00:11:10.860
it is truly a historic moment when
244
00:11:10.860 --> 00:11:13.950
for the first time in human history,
245
00:11:13.950 --> 00:11:18.720
the Holy Spirit enters into
the heart of human beings
246
00:11:18.720 --> 00:11:21.000
and their spirits are born again.
247
00:11:21.000 --> 00:11:22.590
This is the first example
248
00:11:22.590 --> 00:11:26.010
of people being born again in the Bible.
249
00:11:26.010 --> 00:11:30.510
Wow! And when you come to Ephesians 1:13,
250
00:11:30.510 --> 00:11:34.440
the Apostle Paul tells us what
happens when we get saved,
251
00:11:34.440 --> 00:11:37.015
which is what I call the 1st work of grace.
252
00:11:37.015 --> 00:11:39.720
And in Ephesians 1:13,
253
00:11:39.720 --> 00:11:41.310
the Apostle Paul says this.
254
00:11:41.310 --> 00:11:42.660
Now listen to this
255
00:11:42.660 --> 00:11:46.620
because this is really powerful - In whom you also trusted
256
00:11:46.620 --> 00:11:49.470
after you heard the word of truth, the gospel
257
00:11:49.470 --> 00:11:51.930
of your salvation, in whom also
258
00:11:51.930 --> 00:11:56.500
after you believed you were
sealed with that holy Spirit
259
00:11:56.500 --> 00:11:57.910
of promise.
260
00:11:57.910 --> 00:12:01.360
The word sealed, in Greek here is so wonderful,
261
00:12:01.360 --> 00:12:05.380 line:15%
it will make you want to shout. This word sealed, pictures
262
00:12:05.380 --> 00:12:08.440 line:15%
a seal that is placed on a package
263
00:12:08.440 --> 00:12:11.560 line:15%
after the product has
been thoroughly examined
264
00:12:11.560 --> 00:12:16.120 line:15%
and inspected to make sure it
was fully intact and complete.
265
00:12:16.120 --> 00:12:17.560 line:15%
You didn't seal it
266
00:12:17.560 --> 00:12:21.100 line:15%
until you really knew it was
fully intact and complete.
267
00:12:21.100 --> 00:12:23.260 line:15%
The seal was the proof
268
00:12:23.260 --> 00:12:26.350 line:15%
that the product was impeccable.
269
00:12:26.350 --> 00:12:29.620 line:15%
Are you listening to that?
Normally such seals borne the
270
00:12:29.620 --> 00:12:31.270 line:15%
insignia of a wealthy
271
00:12:31.270 --> 00:12:35.350 line:15%
or famous person, which
meant that this package was
272
00:12:35.350 --> 00:12:38.890 line:15%
to be treated with special care
273
00:12:38.890 --> 00:12:41.950 line:15%
and the seal affirmed who the owner was
274
00:12:41.950 --> 00:12:45.850 line:15%
and guaranteed that the
package would make it
275
00:12:45.850 --> 00:12:48.520 line:15%
to its final destination.
276
00:12:48.520 --> 00:12:51.100
My friends, when you were saved
277
00:12:51.100 --> 00:12:54.070
and the Holy Spirit came
in you, God inspected you
278
00:12:54.070 --> 00:12:57.970
to make you were complete. God saw that you were impeccable,
279
00:12:57.970 --> 00:12:59.830
you were a new creation,
280
00:12:59.830 --> 00:13:03.010
and in fact, you were so
complete that God sealed you
281
00:13:03.010 --> 00:13:05.260
as the proof that everything was fine,
282
00:13:05.260 --> 00:13:06.730
nothing can be better.
283
00:13:06.730 --> 00:13:08.620
And the seal of the Holy Spirit is
284
00:13:08.620 --> 00:13:11.260
that guarantee you're
gonna make it all the way
285
00:13:11.260 --> 00:13:13.240
to your heavenly destination.
286
00:13:13.240 --> 00:13:17.080
And if you want to hear the RIV of Ephesians 1:13,
287
00:13:17.080 --> 00:13:19.360
get ready to shout because here it is.
288
00:13:19.360 --> 00:13:23.620 line:15%
Listen to this - When you were placed in Christ,
289
00:13:23.620 --> 00:13:26.380 line:15%
God stamped you with a special seal
290
00:13:26.380 --> 00:13:31.380 line:15%
and embossed it so deeply that
it cannot be broken, erased,
291
00:13:31.480 --> 00:13:35.200 line:15%
rubbed out, wiped out, deleted or removed.
292
00:13:35.200 --> 00:13:39.100 line:15%
That unbreakable seal is the Holy Spirit.
293
00:13:39.100 --> 00:13:41.260 line:15%
Once you were stamped with him,
294
00:13:41.260 --> 00:13:43.360 line:15%
it meant you had God's approval.
295
00:13:43.360 --> 00:13:46.030 line:15%
He examined the contents of your heart
296
00:13:46.030 --> 00:13:49.390 line:15%
and found nothing flawed or inferior.
297
00:13:49.390 --> 00:13:52.990 line:15%
And because everything was
in order, he stamped you
298
00:13:52.990 --> 00:13:57.400 line:15%
with the Holy Spirit, which
is his seal of approval.
299
00:13:57.400 --> 00:14:00.280 line:15%
And anyone who has this stamp is headed
300
00:14:00.280 --> 00:14:01.900 line:15%
for special treatment.
301
00:14:01.900 --> 00:14:04.240 line:15%
This seal means you belong to God
302
00:14:04.240 --> 00:14:08.710 line:15%
and no one is allowed to interfere with you as a package.
303
00:14:08.710 --> 00:14:12.550 line:15%
This Holy Spirit stamp
means the postage is prepaid
304
00:14:12.550 --> 00:14:16.120 line:15%
to get you all the way to
your ultimate destination.
305
00:14:16.120 --> 00:14:18.850 line:15%
That means you can be sure
that once your journey
306
00:14:18.850 --> 00:14:22.060 line:15%
with the Lord begins, you're going to make it all the way to
307
00:14:22.060 --> 00:14:25.450 line:15%
where God wants you to go.
308
00:14:26.290 --> 00:14:27.580
That is amazing.
309
00:14:27.580 --> 00:14:31.390
That's the RIV of Ephesians 1:13.
310
00:14:31.390 --> 00:14:34.180
But wait, listen to verse 14.
311
00:14:34.180 --> 00:14:37.030
Ephesians 1:14 continues that - He -
312
00:14:37.030 --> 00:14:41.020
that is the Holy Spirit - is the earnest of our inheritance
313
00:14:41.020 --> 00:14:42.730
until the redemption
314
00:14:42.730 --> 00:14:46.810
of the purchased possession
unto the praise of his glory.
315
00:14:46.810 --> 00:14:48.340
If you have an ink pen or a pencil
316
00:14:48.340 --> 00:14:50.200
and you're using your
Bible, either underline
317
00:14:50.200 --> 00:14:53.480
or circle that earnest, which is the Greek word arrabon,
318
00:14:53.480 --> 00:14:55.070
and listen to what it means.
319
00:14:55.070 --> 00:14:57.920 line:15%
It depicts a payment given in advance
320
00:14:57.920 --> 00:15:01.460 line:15%
to guarantee the whole amount
will be paid afterward.
321
00:15:01.460 --> 00:15:03.350 line:15%
This depicts earnest money
322
00:15:03.350 --> 00:15:05.180 line:15%
or an installment, a deposit,
323
00:15:05.180 --> 00:15:10.180 line:15%
a down payment which guarantees the delivery of a promise.
324
00:15:10.190 --> 00:15:13.550 line:15%
It is a security deposit given by the purchaser
325
00:15:13.550 --> 00:15:14.900 line:15%
to assure confidence
326
00:15:14.900 --> 00:15:16.670 line:15%
and peace to the seller
327
00:15:16.670 --> 00:15:20.090 line:15%
that he will finally fulfill his promise.
328
00:15:20.090 --> 00:15:24.050 line:15%
And here is the RIV of Ephesians 1:14.
329
00:15:24.050 --> 00:15:26.570 line:15%
As good as all of this already seems,
330
00:15:26.570 --> 00:15:31.100 line:15%
it's only the beginning of all
that God has planned for us.
331
00:15:31.100 --> 00:15:34.430 line:15%
The Holy Spirit is just the 1st installment
332
00:15:34.430 --> 00:15:38.150 line:15%
of the incredible things that
God has planned as a part
333
00:15:38.150 --> 00:15:39.890 line:15%
of our full inheritance.
334
00:15:39.890 --> 00:15:42.830 line:15%
You might say the Holy Spirit
is God's down money to show
335
00:15:42.830 --> 00:15:44.120 line:15%
that he's serious
336
00:15:44.120 --> 00:15:48.140 line:15%
and intends to complete the
deal, finalize all the papers
337
00:15:48.140 --> 00:15:49.790 line:15%
and put the product in his name
338
00:15:49.790 --> 00:15:52.880 line:15%
and finally make us
his very own possession
339
00:15:52.880 --> 00:15:57.770 line:15%
with no one else having the
ability to exercise any claims
340
00:15:57.770 --> 00:15:59.420 line:15%
or liens against us.
341
00:15:59.420 --> 00:16:02.060 line:15%
And when this process is finally wrapped up
342
00:16:02.060 --> 00:16:05.390 line:15%
and the deal is completely sealed, we're all going to want
343
00:16:05.390 --> 00:16:08.180 line:15%
to stand up and give
God a round of applause
344
00:16:08.180 --> 00:16:13.040 line:15%
for everything accomplished in
our lives through his glory.
345
00:16:13.910 --> 00:16:15.740
That's amazing. All of
346
00:16:15.740 --> 00:16:19.670
that happens the moment you are saved.
347
00:16:19.670 --> 00:16:22.730
My friends, that is just amazing to me.
348
00:16:22.730 --> 00:16:23.840
You know when you get saved,
349
00:16:23.840 --> 00:16:25.760
you call Jesus the Lord of your life.
350
00:16:25.760 --> 00:16:27.620
It's all new to you. You don't realize
351
00:16:27.620 --> 00:16:29.630
what a miracle is taking place.
352
00:16:29.630 --> 00:16:31.700
But in addition to all
of that, at the moment
353
00:16:31.700 --> 00:16:35.210
of your salvation, the Holy
Spirit also baptizes you into
354
00:16:35.210 --> 00:16:38.000
the body of Christ or
he supernaturally places
355
00:16:38.000 --> 00:16:39.470
you into the church.
356
00:16:39.470 --> 00:16:44.210
So many things take place
in this first work of grace
357
00:16:44.210 --> 00:16:48.110
that it is just amazing - amazing.
358
00:16:48.110 --> 00:16:51.080
And then when you come to Ephesians 2:10,
359
00:16:51.080 --> 00:16:54.410
Paul also writes about what occurs in this 1st work
360
00:16:54.410 --> 00:16:56.030
of grace, which is your salvation.
361
00:16:56.030 --> 00:17:01.010
Listen to this - For we are his workmanship created
362
00:17:01.010 --> 00:17:04.250
in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God have
363
00:17:04.250 --> 00:17:07.730
before ordained, that
we should walk in them.
364
00:17:07.730 --> 00:17:11.870
And the word, workmanship, is the Greek word, poiema,
365
00:17:11.870 --> 00:17:16.280
which is a poem, a product,
a literary masterpiece
366
00:17:16.280 --> 00:17:18.950
or shiny piece of art,
367
00:17:18.950 --> 00:17:23.420
which means - God put forth all of his genius.
368
00:17:23.420 --> 00:17:26.510
God put forth all of his creative power
369
00:17:26.510 --> 00:17:30.620
and he made us into a masterpiece when we were born again.
370
00:17:30.620 --> 00:17:33.062
And because this word poiema describes
371
00:17:33.062 --> 00:17:34.719
a literary masterpiece,
372
00:17:34.719 --> 00:17:36.800
it means the mama we got saved.
373
00:17:36.800 --> 00:17:40.490
God initiated a new story in our life
374
00:17:40.490 --> 00:17:42.710
and now we are a shiny thing
375
00:17:42.710 --> 00:17:44.900
to demonstrate the grace of God.
376
00:17:44.900 --> 00:17:47.780
That's who we are and that
is what happened to us.
377
00:17:47.780 --> 00:17:51.300
And in fact, the Bible says,
created in Christ Jesus.
378
00:17:51.300 --> 00:17:53.160
And that word, created, the Greek word, ktidzo,
379
00:17:53.160 --> 00:17:55.410
it means to create something new out of nothing.
380
00:17:55.410 --> 00:17:59.400
Which means - when you get saved, you are not -
381
00:17:59.400 --> 00:18:02.460
now listen to this - you are not an old broken thing
382
00:18:02.460 --> 00:18:06.510
that gets fixed, but you are made brand spanking new.
383
00:18:06.510 --> 00:18:10.470
And this is why 2 Corinthians 5:17 says,
384
00:18:10.470 --> 00:18:12.300
you become a new creature.
385
00:18:12.300 --> 00:18:14.880
Old things passed away, all things have become new.
386
00:18:14.880 --> 00:18:17.790
And that word, new means
brand spanking new.
387
00:18:17.790 --> 00:18:20.850 line:15%
You're not a renovated
version of who you used to be.
388
00:18:20.850 --> 00:18:23.610 line:15%
You're not a fixed version
of something that was broken.
389
00:18:23.610 --> 00:18:25.800 line:15%
You are brand spanking new
390
00:18:25.800 --> 00:18:30.800 line:15%
and you are God's masterpiece of grace.
391
00:18:30.960 --> 00:18:34.830 line:15%
All of that happens the moment that you get saved.
392
00:18:34.830 --> 00:18:39.000 line:15%
And that happened with the apostles in John 20 when
393
00:18:39.000 --> 00:18:43.590
Jesus breathed in them and said, receive ye the Holy Ghost.
394
00:18:43.590 --> 00:18:47.310
But after Jesus said that to them, later he met
395
00:18:47.310 --> 00:18:50.010
with them again and we read what Jesus said
396
00:18:50.010 --> 00:18:53.130
to them in Luke 24:49 -
397
00:18:53.130 --> 00:18:57.060
And behold, I send the promise of my father upon you,
398
00:18:57.060 --> 00:19:00.510
but tarry you in the city of
Jerusalem until you be endued
399
00:19:00.510 --> 00:19:01.800
with power from on high.
400
00:19:01.800 --> 00:19:04.920
The word. behold, the Greek word idou, means wow, wow, wow.
401
00:19:04.920 --> 00:19:07.260
Listen to what I'm about to tell you,
402
00:19:07.260 --> 00:19:11.550
which means Jesus was really excited about what he was going
403
00:19:11.550 --> 00:19:13.500
to declare to the disciples.
404
00:19:13.500 --> 00:19:17.370
Wow, listen to this. This
is such exciting news.
405
00:19:17.370 --> 00:19:21.180
I send the promise of my father upon you.
406
00:19:21.180 --> 00:19:22.980
Now wait a minute. The promise
407
00:19:22.980 --> 00:19:25.080
of the Father is the Holy Spirit
408
00:19:25.080 --> 00:19:26.700
and we've just seen the Holy Spirit had
409
00:19:26.700 --> 00:19:28.050
already entered into them.
410
00:19:28.050 --> 00:19:30.210
They were already born again.
411
00:19:30.210 --> 00:19:32.310
This happened to them in John 20.
412
00:19:32.310 --> 00:19:34.200
That was the first work of grace.
413
00:19:34.200 --> 00:19:37.860
But now Jesus is talking about
a subsequent work of grace,
414
00:19:37.860 --> 00:19:39.960
the baptism in the Holy Spirit,
415
00:19:39.960 --> 00:19:42.360
which is separate from salvation.
416
00:19:42.360 --> 00:19:44.940
And Jesus said, you're going to be endued.
417
00:19:44.940 --> 00:19:46.950
That word endued means
you're going to be empowered.
418
00:19:46.950 --> 00:19:49.830
You're going to be clothed with power.
419
00:19:49.830 --> 00:19:53.490 line:15%
And the word power is the Greek word dunamis. Wow.
420
00:19:53.490 --> 00:19:57.360 line:15%
This word dunamis describes explosive power,
421
00:19:57.360 --> 00:19:59.880 line:15%
unparalleled power.
422
00:19:59.880 --> 00:20:03.540 line:15%
When they got saved, they received peace.
423
00:20:03.540 --> 00:20:06.870 line:15%
That's why Jesus said to them
twice, peace be unto you.
424
00:20:06.870 --> 00:20:11.160 line:15%
Peace be unto you. Peace
is the fruit of salvation.
425
00:20:11.160 --> 00:20:15.570 line:15%
The power is the fruit of the 2nd work of grace,
426
00:20:15.570 --> 00:20:18.210 line:15%
which we called the baptism in the Holy Spirit.
427
00:20:18.210 --> 00:20:19.620 line:15%
And that's what I'm going to talk
428
00:20:19.620 --> 00:20:21.540 line:15%
to you about in the next program.
429
00:20:21.540 --> 00:20:24.180 line:15%
At today, it was important
for us to understand
430
00:20:24.180 --> 00:20:26.040 line:15%
what is the first work of grace
431
00:20:26.040 --> 00:20:29.490 line:15%
and what occurs in us when we get saved.
432
00:20:29.490 --> 00:20:30.690 line:15%
I'll be back in just a moment,
433
00:20:30.690 --> 00:20:32.310
but I've got more to share with you.
434
00:20:40.680 --> 00:20:43.770 line:15%
How did you receive Christ and
when were you water baptized?
435
00:20:43.770 --> 00:20:47.590 line:15%
Well, Joel, I got saved in 1963.
436
00:20:47.590 --> 00:20:49.660
I was 5-years old
437
00:20:49.660 --> 00:20:51.610
and I'd already been
under conviction of sin
438
00:20:51.610 --> 00:20:55.780
for a whole year because a
revivalist came to our church
439
00:20:55.780 --> 00:20:57.880
and he preached on hell.
440
00:20:57.880 --> 00:20:59.500
And his preaching about hell was
441
00:20:59.500 --> 00:21:04.000
so descriptive I felt like I
could feel the fires of hell.
442
00:21:04.000 --> 00:21:06.880
And God used that preaching
to really convict me
443
00:21:06.880 --> 00:21:08.020
that I was unsaved
444
00:21:08.020 --> 00:21:10.030
and I was 4-years old,
445
00:21:10.030 --> 00:21:11.800
which means young people can really
446
00:21:11.800 --> 00:21:13.330
understand at an early age.
447
00:21:13.330 --> 00:21:16.780
And finally a year later,
I walked the aisle,
448
00:21:16.780 --> 00:21:18.940
I'll never forget that day,
came down to the front,
449
00:21:18.940 --> 00:21:21.820
shook the pastor's hand, 5-years old,
450
00:21:21.820 --> 00:21:23.350
gave my heart to Jesus.
451
00:21:23.350 --> 00:21:27.790
And guess what? That same
night I was water baptized
452
00:21:27.790 --> 00:21:31.120
and I was so small the people
in the auditorium couldn't see
453
00:21:31.120 --> 00:21:32.350
me in the baptistry.
454
00:21:32.350 --> 00:21:35.020
So they had to put a folding
chair in the baptistry for me
455
00:21:35.020 --> 00:21:37.090
to stand on so people could see
456
00:21:37.090 --> 00:21:40.690
that little Ricky Renner
was really being baptized.
457
00:21:40.690 --> 00:21:42.340
If you do not speak in tongues
458
00:21:42.340 --> 00:21:44.200
or if you do speak in tongues,
459
00:21:44.200 --> 00:21:46.210

460
00:21:46.210 --> 00:21:48.820

will be an eye-opener

00:21:48.820 --> 00:21:51.190
and a game changer in your life?
462
00:21:51.190 --> 00:21:53.500
Many people are confused about tongues.
463
00:21:53.500 --> 00:21:56.590
So Rick, who was also once
confused about this subject,
464
00:21:56.590 --> 00:21:58.240
takes you into the scriptures to see
465
00:21:58.240 --> 00:22:01.300
what the Bible says about - Speaking in tongues:
466
00:22:01.300 --> 00:22:03.640
The purpose of tongues: Are tongues really
467
00:22:03.640 --> 00:22:06.520 line:15%
for every believer: The value of speaking in tongues -
468
00:22:06.520 --> 00:22:08.230 line:15%
and so much more.
469
00:22:08.230 --> 00:22:09.550 line:15%

491
00:23:14.560 --> 00:23:18.100
and I'm standing outside
our ministry headquarters in
492
00:23:18.100 --> 00:23:19.630
Tulsa, Oklahoma.
493
00:23:19.630 --> 00:23:22.330
Look at it, it's just so wonderful.
494
00:23:22.330 --> 00:23:25.690
And from this location, we are ministering
495
00:23:25.690 --> 00:23:28.840 line:15%

We have thousands and
thousands of phone calls,

00:23:35.980 --> 00:23:38.680
of the planet from people that are watching us on all kinds
499
00:23:38.680 --> 00:23:41.980
of social media or television,
so many different kinds
500
00:23:41.980 --> 00:23:43.510
of platforms.
501
00:23:43.510 --> 00:23:46.310
And from here we're sending our programs
502
00:23:46.310 --> 00:23:48.050
to the ends of the earth.
503
00:23:48.050 --> 00:23:49.760
And that's our assignment.
504
00:23:49.760 --> 00:23:53.120 line:15%
Proverbs 10:21 says - The lips
of the righteous feed many.
505
00:23:53.960 --> 00:23:56.690 line:15%
That's our job to feed many
the wonderful word of God.
506
00:23:56.690 --> 00:23:59.720 line:15%
And you're a big part of
that because you're a friend
507
00:23:59.720 --> 00:24:01.340 line:15%
and you are a partner.
508
00:24:01.340 --> 00:24:04.790 line:15%
And right now we have a goal
to pay off this facility.
509
00:24:04.790 --> 00:24:08.480 line:15%
And guess what? We're
already at 88% of our goal,
510
00:24:08.480 --> 00:24:09.830 line:15%
88%.
511
00:24:09.830 --> 00:24:12.620 line:15%
We're almost there. Week by week
512
00:24:12.620 --> 00:24:15.590 line:15%
we're just inching further and further toward completion.
513
00:24:15.590 --> 00:24:19.640 line:15%
And when we're finished, it's
gonna release so many finances
514
00:24:19.640 --> 00:24:21.530 line:15%
to help us take the teaching of the Bible
515
00:24:21.530 --> 00:24:23.810 line:15%
to the ends of the earth.
516
00:24:23.810 --> 00:24:24.980 line:15%
And I want to say "thank you"
517
00:24:24.980 --> 00:24:26.450 line:15%
for being a part of our Giving Team.
518
00:24:26.450 --> 00:24:29.510 line:15%
And if you're not yet a part of our Giving Team,
519
00:24:29.510 --> 00:24:31.580 line:15%
I'm asking you to please join us
520
00:24:31.580 --> 00:24:33.800 line:15%
to help us retire the
dead on this facility
521
00:24:33.800 --> 00:24:35.930 line:15%
so we can obey the great commission
522
00:24:35.930 --> 00:24:37.820 line:15%
and take the teaching of the Bible
523
00:24:37.820 --> 00:24:40.490 line:15%
and the words of Jesus
to the ends of the earth.
524
00:24:48.500 --> 00:24:50.930
Well, today we've been looking at the 1st work of grace,
525
00:24:50.930 --> 00:24:52.820
which is salvation.
526
00:24:52.820 --> 00:24:55.340
And my friends, this
is the starting place.
527
00:24:55.340 --> 00:24:58.250
And if you are not sure
you are saved, call us

And everything I've
discussed in this program
531
00:25:05.600 --> 00:25:06.860
can happen in you.
532
00:25:06.860 --> 00:25:09.620
And if you know you're saved my friends
533
00:25:09.620 --> 00:25:10.760
after what you've heard today,
534
00:25:10.760 --> 00:25:15.230
you can shout at all the God
did in you, in your salvation.
535
00:25:15.230 --> 00:25:17.660
But tomorrow we're gonna talk about the 2nd Work

00:25:30.410 --> 00:25:32.990 line:15%
And tomorrow I'm really gonna answer that question.

559
00:26:13.940 --> 00:26:16.310 line:15%
Father, I thank in the name of Jesus
560
00:26:16.310 --> 00:26:19.940 line:15%
that the Holy Spirit entered into us the day we called Jesus
561
00:26:19.940 --> 00:26:21.620 line:15%
the Lord of our life.
562
00:26:21.620 --> 00:26:25.070 line:15%
Thank you that you've sealed
us with the Holy Spirit.
563
00:26:25.070 --> 00:26:27.680 line:15%
We thank you that it is the
guarantee of greater things
564
00:26:27.680 --> 00:26:30.920 line:15%
to come and we thank you that
we're not just a fixed version
565
00:26:30.920 --> 00:26:32.240 line:15%
of who we used to be,
566
00:26:32.240 --> 00:26:36.410 line:15%
but you've made us brand
spanking new in Jesus' name
567
00:26:36.410 --> 00:26:38.570 line:15%
Amen. I'll see you tomorrow.
568
00:26:38.570 --> 00:26:41.060
But remember Ecclesiastes 8:4, "Where the word
569
00:26:41.060 --> 00:26:43.860
of a king is there is power."
570
00:26:43.860 --> 00:26:46.140 line:15%
If you've never received Jesus as your Savior
571
00:26:46.140 --> 00:26:50.520 line:15%
and Lord, now is the time for you to experience a new life
572
00:26:50.520 --> 00:26:52.680 line:15%
Jesus has to give you.
573

Pray this prayer with me right now - Lord, I repent
574
00:26:57.300 --> 00:27:00.780 line:15%
of my sin and receive you as my Savior
575
00:27:00.780 --> 00:27:03.750 line:15%
and Lord. Wash away my sin
576
00:27:03.750 --> 00:27:06.780 line:15%
and make me completely new.
577
00:27:06.780 --> 00:27:10.620 line:15%
I thank you that my sin is removed
578
00:27:10.620 --> 00:27:15.620 line:15%
and Satan no longer has any
right to lay claim on me.
579
00:27:16.110 --> 00:27:20.100
I faithfully promise that
I will serve you as my Lord
580
00:27:20.100 --> 00:27:21.780

581
00:27:22.710 --> 00:27:23.710
