00:00:01.260 --> 00:00:03.750
This program is made
possible by the giving
2
00:00:03.750 --> 00:00:06.960
of the God called partners
of Renner Ministries.
3
00:00:08.070 --> 00:00:09.510
Welcome to today's program.
4
00:00:09.510 --> 00:00:10.770
My name is Rick Renner
5
00:00:10.770 --> 00:00:13.440
and I'm really so glad
that you've joined me
6
00:00:13.440 --> 00:00:16.110
and thank you for letting me
come right into your space.
7
00:00:16.110 --> 00:00:18.570
Today I am continuing my brand new series,
8
00:00:18.570 --> 00:00:20.850 line:15%
which is called Speaking in Tongues.
9
00:00:20.850 --> 00:00:24.570 line:15%
What is it? And is it really for everyone?
10
00:00:24.570 --> 00:00:26.250 line:15%
You know, when I was growing up,
11
00:00:26.250 --> 00:00:28.530 line:15%
I was raised in a denomination
12
00:00:28.530 --> 00:00:31.170 line:15%
that didn't believe in
speaking in tongues,
13
00:00:31.170 --> 00:00:32.280 line:15%
and we thought that people
14
00:00:32.280 --> 00:00:34.410 line:15%
who were speaking in tongues were crazy.
15
00:00:34.410 --> 00:00:36.120 line:15%
We really thought that,
16
00:00:36.120 --> 00:00:38.940 line:15%
but my friends speaking in tongues is real
17
00:00:38.940 --> 00:00:40.470 line:15%
and we need to know what it is
18
00:00:40.470 --> 00:00:42.600 line:15%
and is it really for everyone?
19
00:00:42.600 --> 00:00:44.880 line:15%
And today we're going to be
going to the Book of Acts
20
00:00:44.880 --> 00:00:47.940 line:15%
and I'm going to show you the
pattern in the New Testament
21
00:00:47.940 --> 00:00:49.080 line:15%
for people being saved
22
00:00:49.080 --> 00:00:51.930 line:15%
and then being subsequently
filled with the Holy Spirit.
23
00:00:51.930 --> 00:00:54.540 line:15%
This is going to answer
so many questions for you,
24
00:00:54.540 --> 00:00:56.190 line:15%
but please order the entire series
25
00:00:56.190 --> 00:00:57.870 line:15%
called Speaking in Tongues.
26
00:00:57.870 --> 00:01:00.690 line:15%
What is it? And is it really for everyone?
27
00:01:00.690 --> 00:01:02.400 line:15%
And of course it comes with a study guide.
28
00:01:02.400 --> 00:01:04.740 line:15%
I want you to have teaching you can trust.
29
00:01:04.740 --> 00:01:06.930 line:15%
I don't want you to hear it or see it.
30
00:01:06.930 --> 00:01:09.510 line:15%
I want you to really be able
to read the material, see
31
00:01:09.510 --> 00:01:11.070 line:15%
that it really is in the Bible,
32
00:01:11.070 --> 00:01:13.110 line:15%
and get it down deep inside you.
33
00:01:13.110 --> 00:01:15.300 line:15%
And by the way, if you know anybody
34
00:01:15.300 --> 00:01:18.300 line:15%
that's asking questions
about the Holy Spirit
35
00:01:18.300 --> 00:01:21.720 line:15%
and speaking in tongue,
this would be a great answer
36
00:01:21.720 --> 00:01:24.300 line:15%
for them and a good gift
for you to give them.
37
00:01:24.300 --> 00:01:26.490 line:15%
And we're also offering you my book,
38
00:01:26.490 --> 00:01:29.370 line:15%
which is called the Holy
Spirit in You Working Together
39
00:01:29.370 --> 00:01:31.350 line:15%
as Heaven's Dynamic Duo.
40
00:01:31.350 --> 00:01:33.390 line:15%
The back of the book says The key
41
00:01:33.390 --> 00:01:36.120 line:15%
to experiencing more of God.
42
00:01:36.120 --> 00:01:38.610 line:15%
When you really partner
with the Holy Spirit
43
00:01:38.610 --> 00:01:42.360 line:15%
and learn how to relate to
him as a person, he begins
44
00:01:42.360 --> 00:01:44.910 line:15%
to release his power
through your life and you
45
00:01:44.910 --> 00:01:48.570 line:15%
and the Holy Spirit
become the Dynamic Duo.
46
00:01:48.570 --> 00:01:50.250 line:15%
And that's what this book is about.
47
00:01:50.250 --> 00:01:51.900 line:15%
And we're offering you my book,
48
00:01:51.900 --> 00:01:54.930 line:15%
which is called Why We Need
the Gifts of the Holy Spirit.
49
00:01:54.930 --> 00:01:57.900 line:15%
It seems to me almost a silly question,
50
00:01:57.900 --> 00:02:00.600 line:15%
but today people are questioning why do we need them?
51
00:02:00.600 --> 00:02:02.790 line:15%
Do we really need to
make room for the gifts
52
00:02:02.790 --> 00:02:04.050 line:15%
of the Holy Spirit in the church?
53
00:02:04.050 --> 00:02:06.630 line:15%
Why do we need the gifts
of the Holy Spirit?
54
00:02:06.630 --> 00:02:09.690 line:15%
Well, we need them or God
would not have given them.
55
00:02:09.690 --> 00:02:11.820 line:15%
What are they? How do they operate?
56
00:02:11.820 --> 00:02:14.010 line:15%
How do you activate them in your church?
57
00:02:14.010 --> 00:02:17.790 line:15%
All of that is in this book
and you will devour it.
58
00:02:17.790 --> 00:02:20.250 line:15%
And we're also offering you
my new book that I want you
59
00:02:20.250 --> 00:02:24.540 line:15%
to have, which is called Fallen Angels, Giants, Monsters,
60
00:02:24.540 --> 00:02:26.340 line:15%
and the World Before the Flood.
61
00:02:26.340 --> 00:02:27.630 line:15%
Look at that book cover.
62
00:02:27.630 --> 00:02:31.860 line:15%
But my friends, what's in
this book is truly amazing
63
00:02:31.860 --> 00:02:34.440 line:15%
and the endorsements are just remarkable.
64
00:02:34.440 --> 00:02:36.630 line:15%
They've been coming in from Christian leader
65
00:02:36.630 --> 00:02:38.190 line:15%
after Christian leader
66
00:02:38.190 --> 00:02:41.010 line:15%
and they're all saying, wow,
this is like going to a movie.
67
00:02:41.010 --> 00:02:45.240 line:15%
It is so riveting. One person
said, I couldn't put it down.
68
00:02:45.240 --> 00:02:48.540 line:15%
This answered so many
questions for me about events
69
00:02:48.540 --> 00:02:49.980 line:15%
that were occurring before the flood
70
00:02:49.980 --> 00:02:52.980 line:15%
and what we're now
seeing in society again.
71
00:02:52.980 --> 00:02:56.130 line:15%
But my friends, this is
really an end time book
72
00:02:56.130 --> 00:02:59.410 line:15%
and I want you to have
it and you can order this
73
00:02:59.410 --> 00:03:02.950 line:15%
and you can order all these
things by going to our website
74
00:03:02.950 --> 00:03:06.190 line:15%
or you can just give us
a call to order them.
75
00:03:06.190 --> 00:03:08.560 line:15%
And we're waiting to
know how to pray for you.
76
00:03:08.560 --> 00:03:10.300 line:15%
When you reach out to us by calling
77
00:03:10.300 --> 00:03:12.100 line:15%
that number on the screen
78
00:03:12.100 --> 00:03:15.160 line:15%
or sending an email to that email address,
79
00:03:15.160 --> 00:03:16.480 line:15%
we will really pray for you.
80
00:03:16.480 --> 00:03:18.790 line:15%
Yes, you can pray by
yourself. Of course you can.
81
00:03:18.790 --> 00:03:22.060 line:15%
You're a child of God, you have access to God by yourself.
82
00:03:22.060 --> 00:03:24.160 line:15%
But Jesus did say that where two
83
00:03:24.160 --> 00:03:26.080 line:15%
or three of you would gather together
84
00:03:26.080 --> 00:03:29.080 line:15%
and agree there is special power
85
00:03:29.080 --> 00:03:31.120 line:15%
and we would love to agree with you.
86
00:03:31.120 --> 00:03:35.590 line:15%
And when we get into agreement, Jesus promises he'll move
87
00:03:35.590 --> 00:03:36.820 line:15%
and he'll respond.
88
00:03:36.820 --> 00:03:38.860 line:15%
So let us know how to pray for you
89
00:03:38.860 --> 00:03:41.890 line:15%
and Jesus will do something
wonderful for you.
90
00:03:41.890 --> 00:03:44.500 line:15%
But today we're gonna be talking about the 2nd work
91
00:03:44.500 --> 00:03:47.020
of grace, which is the baptism and the Holy Spirit.
92
00:03:47.020 --> 00:03:49.660
And we're going to see the
pattern in the New Testament
93
00:03:49.660 --> 00:03:50.950
of people being saved.
94
00:03:50.950 --> 00:03:52.750
That's the 1st work of grace
95
00:03:52.750 --> 00:03:55.180
and subsequently being filled with the Holy Spirit,
96
00:03:55.180 --> 00:03:57.280
which I call the 2nd work of grace.
97
00:03:57.280 --> 00:04:00.040
This is gonna be good. I'll
be back in just a moment.
98
00:04:01.000 --> 00:04:04.180
Get ready for a teaching
that feeds your spirit
99
00:04:04.180 --> 00:04:08.350
and your mind where the word
is the anchor in uncertain
100
00:04:08.350 --> 00:04:13.030
times and doctrine
doesn't bend to culture.
101
00:04:13.030 --> 00:04:14.470
We keep it simple,
102
00:04:14.470 --> 00:04:19.470
but dive deep revealing a
truth that strengthens us,
103
00:04:19.900 --> 00:04:21.550
a love that emboldens
104
00:04:22.930 --> 00:04:25.090
and a mission that touches the world.
105
00:04:27.430 --> 00:04:28.990
Let's join Rick Renner
106
00:04:30.550 --> 00:04:34.210
Today I'm going to show you
from scripture the first work
107
00:04:34.210 --> 00:04:37.420
of grace is always followed
by the second work of grace,
108
00:04:37.420 --> 00:04:39.940 line:15%
which is the baptism in the Holy Spirit
109
00:04:39.940 --> 00:04:42.100 line:15%
and speaking in tongues
110
00:04:42.100 --> 00:04:45.040 line:15%
and how I wish someone
had shared this teaching
111
00:04:45.040 --> 00:04:46.870 line:15%
with me earlier in life.
112
00:04:46.870 --> 00:04:48.070 line:15%
This is going to be good,
113
00:04:48.070 --> 00:04:51.250
but first I want to share
three testimonies with you.
114
00:04:51.250 --> 00:04:54.130 line:15%
One man called to share
something really cool.
115
00:04:54.130 --> 00:04:56.350 line:15%
He's working with an organization
116
00:04:56.350 --> 00:04:58.900 line:15%
that started a recovery
program for guys going
117
00:04:58.900 --> 00:05:00.760 line:15%
through drug rehabilitation.
118
00:05:00.760 --> 00:05:04.000 line:15%
He introduced the men to Rick on YouTube
119
00:05:04.000 --> 00:05:07.000 line:15%
and when Rick comes on,
they take the remote
120
00:05:07.000 --> 00:05:10.300 line:15%
and hide it so all the men
in the group will watch Rick.
121
00:05:10.300 --> 00:05:12.280 line:15%
He said they're usually quite rowdy,
122
00:05:12.280 --> 00:05:14.680 line:15%
but when Rick comes on, they're quiet
123
00:05:14.680 --> 00:05:17.710 line:15%
and they open their bibles
and they take notes.
124
00:05:17.710 --> 00:05:21.430 line:15%
He said he has never seen this
effect on the guise before
125
00:05:21.430 --> 00:05:24.250 line:15%
and he wanted Rick to know,
well, I wanna say thank you
126
00:05:24.250 --> 00:05:25.630
for letting me know.
127
00:05:25.630 --> 00:05:28.150
We actually have an
extensive ministry to people
128
00:05:28.150 --> 00:05:29.800
that are recovering from drugs
129
00:05:29.800 --> 00:05:32.290
and I'm very happy to hear this testimony,
130
00:05:32.290 --> 00:05:35.500 line:15%
but here is another testimony,
dear friends, thank you
131
00:05:35.500 --> 00:05:38.260 line:15%
so much for your response,
prayers and encouragement
132
00:05:38.260 --> 00:05:40.120 line:15%
and spiritual support.
133
00:05:40.120 --> 00:05:42.880 line:15%
One night I wrote and requested prayer for my husband
134
00:05:42.880 --> 00:05:45.730 line:15%
who couldn't sleep. After you all contacted
135
00:05:45.730 --> 00:05:46.900 line:15%
me and we prayed again.
136
00:05:46.900 --> 00:05:49.060 line:15%
He slept well for many hours
137
00:05:49.060 --> 00:05:52.090 line:15%
and got up in the morning with
much more strength as well
138
00:05:52.090 --> 00:05:53.440 line:15%
as our fresh mind.
139
00:05:53.440 --> 00:05:55.810 line:15%
Thank you so much for praying for me.
140
00:05:55.810 --> 00:05:59.390
Well, you know what, if you
sleep, that's a big deal.
141
00:05:59.390 --> 00:06:03.320
My friends, when people can't sleep, they get tired,
142
00:06:03.320 --> 00:06:06.440
they're frustrated, and if
you need sleep, call us.
143
00:06:06.440 --> 00:06:09.680
The Bible says in Psalm 4:8,
144
00:06:09.680 --> 00:06:12.680
that he gives us sleep, sweet sleep
145
00:06:12.680 --> 00:06:15.440
and we'll pray with you
for you to have good sleep.
146
00:06:15.440 --> 00:06:17.390
But here's one more testimony.
147
00:06:17.390 --> 00:06:18.860
We've been praying with one woman
148
00:06:18.860 --> 00:06:20.570
for several months for healing.
149
00:06:20.570 --> 00:06:25.370
She called today and is very
excited to say that the pain
150
00:06:25.370 --> 00:06:29.420
and the ulcer in her colon
and the colitis are gone.
151
00:06:29.420 --> 00:06:32.660
Her doctor said those
things don't just go away
152
00:06:32.660 --> 00:06:35.900
and that this is a miracle.
153
00:06:35.900 --> 00:06:37.550
Well, we believe in miracles.
154
00:06:37.550 --> 00:06:41.360
Thank you for letting us know
that God answered prayer.
155
00:06:41.360 --> 00:06:44.540
Amen. And if you have a prayer
request, let us know how
156
00:06:44.540 --> 00:06:47.270
to pray for you too, but
reach for your Bible.
157
00:06:47.270 --> 00:06:49.730 line:15%
And today we're going to
go to the New Testament
158
00:06:49.730 --> 00:06:52.610 line:15%
and we're going to see the
pattern in the Book of Acts,
159
00:06:52.610 --> 00:06:53.810 line:15%
people being saved
160
00:06:53.810 --> 00:06:56.300 line:15%
and then subsequently being
filled with the Holy Spirit.
161
00:06:56.300 --> 00:06:59.330 line:15%
But let's go back to John 20:21
162
00:06:59.330 --> 00:07:02.840 line:15%
& 22, where we find the moment when the apostles were
163
00:07:02.840 --> 00:07:06.470
actually born again. And in John 20:21
164
00:07:06.470 --> 00:07:09.470
22, Jesus came to them
165
00:07:09.470 --> 00:07:12.050
and said, peace be unto you.
166
00:07:12.050 --> 00:07:16.790
Notice that word peace. Peace
is the fruit of salvation.
167
00:07:16.790 --> 00:07:19.790
When you get saved, you
have peace with God.
168
00:07:19.790 --> 00:07:23.570
And Jesus said, peace be unto
you as my father has sent me
169
00:07:23.570 --> 00:07:25.400
even so send I you.
170
00:07:25.400 --> 00:07:28.310
And when he had said
this, he breathed on them.
171
00:07:28.310 --> 00:07:29.750
And we saw in the previous program
172
00:07:29.750 --> 00:07:31.280
that when he breathed on them,
173
00:07:31.280 --> 00:07:34.400
the Greek actually says
he breathed into them
174
00:07:34.400 --> 00:07:38.750
and said, receive ye the Holy Ghost. Receive ye the Greek
175
00:07:38.750 --> 00:07:41.360
word labete, which means take it right now,
176
00:07:41.360 --> 00:07:42.950
receive it in this very moment.
177
00:07:42.950 --> 00:07:44.630
And in that very moment,
178
00:07:44.630 --> 00:07:48.350
the Holy Spirit entered into
the hearts of the disciples
179
00:07:48.350 --> 00:07:50.300
and they were born again.
180
00:07:50.300 --> 00:07:52.070
And these were the first individuals
181
00:07:52.070 --> 00:07:56.570
to ever be born again in history
182
00:07:56.570 --> 00:07:59.270
and immediately coming with the born again.
183
00:07:59.270 --> 00:08:01.100
experience was peace.
184
00:08:01.100 --> 00:08:04.640
And that's why Jesus
said, peace be unto you.
185
00:08:04.640 --> 00:08:08.930
Peace is the fruit of salvation.
186
00:08:08.930 --> 00:08:11.210
Now, when I was growing up in our church,
187
00:08:11.210 --> 00:08:15.260
we preached salvation and we preached peace with God.
188
00:08:15.260 --> 00:08:19.790
And when people got saved,
they had peace with God,
189
00:08:19.790 --> 00:08:22.100
but we didn't have a lot
of power in our lives.
190
00:08:22.100 --> 00:08:25.520
I say that we were very
peaceful, powerless people.
191
00:08:25.520 --> 00:08:27.020
We did not understand
192
00:08:27.020 --> 00:08:30.590
that there was another subsequent, 2nd work of grace,
193
00:08:30.590 --> 00:08:33.380
which is called the baptism in the Holy Spirit.
194
00:08:33.380 --> 00:08:36.980
And the fruit of the baptism
in the Holy Spirit is power.
195
00:08:36.980 --> 00:08:39.170
The fruit of salvation is peace,
196
00:08:39.170 --> 00:08:42.290
but you gotta have the 2nd work if you wanna have power.
197
00:08:42.290 --> 00:08:43.910
And that is why Jesus said
198
00:08:43.910 --> 00:08:47.060
to the disciples in Luke 24:49,
199
00:08:47.060 --> 00:08:51.350
after they're already born again, he said to them - Behold,
200
00:08:51.350 --> 00:08:53.660
I send the promise of my father upon you,
201
00:08:53.660 --> 00:08:56.190
but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem of till you be endowed
202
00:08:56.190 --> 00:08:57.420
with power from on high.
203
00:08:57.420 --> 00:09:00.780
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
They were already saved.
204
00:09:00.780 --> 00:09:03.360
Yes they were. They had peace.
205
00:09:03.360 --> 00:09:06.390
But after they were saved, Jesus said, we're not done yet.
206
00:09:06.390 --> 00:09:09.330
There's something else you need to receive - the promise
207
00:09:09.330 --> 00:09:11.340
of the Father which will come upon you.
208
00:09:11.340 --> 00:09:14.880
It will undo you with power from on high.
209
00:09:14.880 --> 00:09:17.880
And that word power is the Greek word dunamis.
210
00:09:17.880 --> 00:09:21.930
The word dunamis describes explosive, superhuman power,
211
00:09:21.930 --> 00:09:26.430
enormous energy that produces phenomenal, extraordinary
212
00:09:26.430 --> 00:09:28.770
and unparalleled results.
213
00:09:28.770 --> 00:09:31.530
It is the very word used
to describe the full might
214
00:09:31.530 --> 00:09:33.270
of an advancing army.
215
00:09:33.270 --> 00:09:34.350
And the word power here,
216
00:09:34.350 --> 00:09:37.170
the Greek word dunamis was the word used by the Greeks
217
00:09:37.170 --> 00:09:38.880
and the Romans to describe a force
218
00:09:38.880 --> 00:09:43.590
of nature like an earthquake
or a hurricane or a tornado.
219
00:09:43.590 --> 00:09:48.590
Jesus was describing amazing
divine supernatural power
220
00:09:48.720 --> 00:09:52.140
that would turn you
into a force of nature.
221
00:09:52.140 --> 00:09:55.230
Now, when they got saved in
the upper room, they had peace
222
00:09:55.230 --> 00:09:56.910
but they didn't have power.
223
00:09:56.910 --> 00:09:59.010
And so Jesus said, don't go anywhere
224
00:09:59.010 --> 00:10:01.110
until you receive the 2nd work of grace.
225
00:10:01.110 --> 00:10:04.950
And when it comes, you are
going to receive divine power.
226
00:10:04.950 --> 00:10:07.020
Then when you come to Acts 1:4,
227
00:10:07.020 --> 00:10:10.860
the Bible says - And being assembled together with them,
228
00:10:10.860 --> 00:10:12.900
Jesus commanded them.
229
00:10:12.900 --> 00:10:16.830
Notice this was not a suggestion, this was a command.
230
00:10:16.830 --> 00:10:20.010
He commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem
231
00:10:20.010 --> 00:10:22.890
but wait for the promise of the Father.
232
00:10:22.890 --> 00:10:24.690
And again, they were already saved.
233
00:10:24.690 --> 00:10:26.550
That happened in John 20,
234
00:10:26.550 --> 00:10:30.060
but now he commanded them,
you don't leave Jerusalem
235
00:10:30.060 --> 00:10:32.250
until you receive the
promise of the Father.
236
00:10:32.250 --> 00:10:36.240
And then in verse 5, Jesus described what that is -
237
00:10:36.240 --> 00:10:38.400
For John truly baptized with water,
238
00:10:38.400 --> 00:10:42.735
but you shall be baptized with
the Holy Ghost not many days,
239
00:10:42.735 --> 00:10:47.735 line:15%
hence. This obviously was a subsequent experience different
240
00:10:47.940 --> 00:10:49.680
from salvation.
241
00:10:49.680 --> 00:10:52.800
And then we find in Acts 2:1
242
00:10:52.800 --> 00:10:56.280 line:15%
4, when they received this subsequent 2nd work
243
00:10:56.280 --> 00:10:57.750 line:15%
of grace and the Bible says,
244
00:10:57.750 --> 00:11:00.870 line:15%
And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all
245
00:11:00.870 --> 00:11:02.430 line:15%
with one accord in one place
246
00:11:02.430 --> 00:11:04.980 line:15%
and suddenly there came
a sound from heaven
247
00:11:04.980 --> 00:11:06.420 line:15%
as a rushing mighty wind
248
00:11:06.420 --> 00:11:08.910 line:15%
and it filled all the house
where they were sitting
249
00:11:08.910 --> 00:11:12.150 line:15%
and there appeared unto them
cloven tongues lack as a fire.
250
00:11:12.150 --> 00:11:13.740 line:15%
And it sat up on each of them
251
00:11:13.740 --> 00:11:16.950 line:15%
and they were all filled
with the Holy Ghost
252
00:11:16.950 --> 00:11:19.260 line:15%
and begin to speak with other tongues
253
00:11:19.260 --> 00:11:21.510 line:15%
as the Spirit gave them utterance.
254
00:11:21.510 --> 00:11:24.960 line:15%
And this is the 1st time in the book of Acts,
255
00:11:24.960 --> 00:11:27.840
that people are baptized in the Holy Ghost
256
00:11:27.840 --> 00:11:29.880
and speak with tongues.
257
00:11:29.880 --> 00:11:32.010
Now I'm going to give you 5-examples.
258
00:11:32.010 --> 00:11:34.410
The 1st is here in Acts 2,
259
00:11:34.410 --> 00:11:37.710
and this begins the New Testament pattern
260
00:11:37.710 --> 00:11:38.910
of being 1st saved.
261
00:11:38.910 --> 00:11:40.260
That's the first work of grace.
262
00:11:40.260 --> 00:11:43.590
And subsequently receiving a 2nd work of grace,
263
00:11:43.590 --> 00:11:45.840
which is the baptism in the Holy Spirit
264
00:11:45.840 --> 00:11:47.850
and speaking with other tongues.
265
00:11:47.850 --> 00:11:50.820
The pattern was repeated in Samaria.
266
00:11:50.820 --> 00:11:53.710
And when you come to Acts 8, you find
267
00:11:53.710 --> 00:11:55.150
that Philip went down to Samaria
268
00:11:55.150 --> 00:11:57.040
and began to preach Christ to the people.
269
00:11:57.040 --> 00:11:59.950
And wow, the power of God erupted.
270
00:11:59.950 --> 00:12:03.070
Many that were laying begin
to walk, demons were cast out,
271
00:12:03.070 --> 00:12:04.870
those that were sick, were healed.
272
00:12:04.870 --> 00:12:08.110
And we read about this in Acts 8:12,
273
00:12:08.110 --> 00:12:11.320
where the Bible says they believed Philip preaching
274
00:12:11.320 --> 00:12:13.180
to things concerning the kingdom of God
275
00:12:13.180 --> 00:12:14.350
and the name of Jesus,
276
00:12:14.350 --> 00:12:18.850
and they were baptized both men and women.
277
00:12:18.850 --> 00:12:20.920
All right, stop. I need to ask a question.
278
00:12:20.920 --> 00:12:25.180
Do you baptize non-saved people? No.
279
00:12:25.180 --> 00:12:29.080
The very fact that they are
baptized means they repented.
280
00:12:29.080 --> 00:12:30.520
The Holy Spirit came into them.
281
00:12:30.520 --> 00:12:32.860
They were born again, which
means they have received the
282
00:12:32.860 --> 00:12:34.330
first work of grace.
283
00:12:34.330 --> 00:12:36.400
They were sealed with the Holy Spirit
284
00:12:36.400 --> 00:12:39.310
and that is why they were baptized.
285
00:12:39.310 --> 00:12:41.950
If they weren't saved, if
they weren't born again,
286
00:12:41.950 --> 00:12:44.800
he would not have water baptized them.
287
00:12:44.800 --> 00:12:47.560
But when you come to chapter 8:14
288
00:12:47.560 --> 00:12:50.230
and 15, the Bible continues to say -
289
00:12:50.230 --> 00:12:53.230
Now when the apostles were at Jerusalem heard
290
00:12:53.230 --> 00:12:55.030
that Samaria had received the word of God,
291
00:12:55.030 --> 00:12:56.590
they sent unto them Peter
292
00:12:56.590 --> 00:13:00.250
and John, who when they came down, prayed for them
293
00:13:00.250 --> 00:13:02.230
that they might receive the Holy Ghost.
294
00:13:02.230 --> 00:13:04.780
Now there's a little
confusion about this phrase
295
00:13:04.780 --> 00:13:07.300
that they might receive the Holy Ghost.
296
00:13:07.300 --> 00:13:09.490
It's really talking about
the subsequent experience
297
00:13:09.490 --> 00:13:11.260
of being baptized in the Holy Ghost.
298
00:13:11.260 --> 00:13:13.540
They already had the Holy
Ghost, they were saved.
299
00:13:13.540 --> 00:13:15.820
You don't baptize people
that are not saved
300
00:13:15.820 --> 00:13:19.690
and you cannot be saved if you
don't have the Holy Spirit.
301
00:13:19.690 --> 00:13:22.090
That is why we read in Romans 8:9 -
302
00:13:22.090 --> 00:13:25.150
Now if have any man have not the spirit of Christ,
303
00:13:25.150 --> 00:13:26.830
he is none of his.
304
00:13:26.830 --> 00:13:28.420
For you to be saved
305
00:13:28.420 --> 00:13:31.450
and to be water baptized, you
have to already be born again.
306
00:13:31.450 --> 00:13:34.870
You have to already receive
the Holy Spirit inside.
307
00:13:34.870 --> 00:13:36.640
But now the disciples are coming for them
308
00:13:36.640 --> 00:13:38.620
to have a subsequent work praying
309
00:13:38.620 --> 00:13:41.260
that the Holy Spirit would come upon them,
310
00:13:41.260 --> 00:13:44.590
which is different than what
happened in their salvation.
311
00:13:44.590 --> 00:13:46.270
And they laid their hands on them
312
00:13:46.270 --> 00:13:50.530
and the Bible says they received the Holy Ghost.
313
00:13:50.530 --> 00:13:51.790
Now somebody might say, yeah,
314
00:13:51.790 --> 00:13:54.340
but when you read this example in Acts 8,
315
00:13:54.340 --> 00:13:56.290
it doesn't say they spoke in tongues.
316
00:13:56.290 --> 00:13:59.560
Well, at a first reading it
appears that it doesn't say
317
00:13:59.560 --> 00:14:02.290
that, but a deeper reading
shows that they did.
318
00:14:02.290 --> 00:14:04.720
For example, in Acts 8:2,
319
00:14:04.720 --> 00:14:06.460
we find there was a sorcerer
320
00:14:06.460 --> 00:14:09.910
who saw something supernatural
happen when the people were
321
00:14:09.910 --> 00:14:11.020
filled with the Holy Spirit
322
00:14:11.020 --> 00:14:14.260
and actually offered money that he could lay hands on people
323
00:14:14.260 --> 00:14:15.670
and see the same results.
324
00:14:15.670 --> 00:14:17.140
Well, what was he seeing?
325
00:14:17.140 --> 00:14:20.680
The answer is in Acts 8, where the Bible says,
326
00:14:20.680 --> 00:14:24.700
Thou has neither part nor lot in this matter.
327
00:14:24.700 --> 00:14:27.490
Wow, the word, matter, is the Greek word logos,
328
00:14:27.490 --> 00:14:31.030
and the word logos is the
word for words or speaking,
329
00:14:31.030 --> 00:14:32.800
and you could literally translate it -
330
00:14:32.800 --> 00:14:34.210
You have neither part
331
00:14:34.210 --> 00:14:37.360
nor lot In this kind of speaking. Simon, the
332
00:14:37.360 --> 00:14:40.990 line:15%
socerer desire was impure,
333
00:14:40.990 --> 00:14:43.180 line:15%
and now Peter says, you
don't have anything to do
334
00:14:43.180 --> 00:14:45.070 line:15%
with this kind of speaking.
335
00:14:45.070 --> 00:14:46.180
So apparently some kind
336
00:14:46.180 --> 00:14:49.240 line:15%
of a speaking took place
when people were baptized
337
00:14:49.240 --> 00:14:50.260
in the Holy Ghost.
338
00:14:50.260 --> 00:14:53.330 line:15%
Of course. And here we see in Samaria the first work
339
00:14:53.330 --> 00:14:54.410 line:15%
of grace, they were saved.
340
00:14:54.410 --> 00:14:56.120 line:15%
They were water baptized.
341
00:14:56.120 --> 00:14:58.610 line:15%
Then the apostles came down from Jerusalem, prayed for them
342
00:14:58.610 --> 00:15:00.110 line:15%
that they might receive the Holy Ghost
343
00:15:00.110 --> 00:15:02.810 line:15%
or be filled with the Holy Spirit: a second work of grace,
344
00:15:02.810 --> 00:15:04.430 line:15%
the baptism in the Holy Spirit.
345
00:15:04.430 --> 00:15:05.810 line:15%
They begin to speak in tongues.
346
00:15:05.810 --> 00:15:08.450 line:15%
And that is what Simon, the sorcerer, saw.
347
00:15:08.450 --> 00:15:11.420 line:15%
But then we see the pattern
is repeated again in the life
348
00:15:11.420 --> 00:15:14.330
of Saul or the Apostle Paul.
349
00:15:14.330 --> 00:15:16.460
And when you come to Acts 8:4,
350
00:15:16.460 --> 00:15:18.290
he's traveling on the road to Damascus
351
00:15:18.290 --> 00:15:19.910
to persecute believers.
352
00:15:19.910 --> 00:15:20.930
He has a vision.
353
00:15:20.930 --> 00:15:22.820
He looks up, he sees Christ,
354
00:15:22.820 --> 00:15:24.920
and he hears Jesus say, Saul, Saul,
355
00:15:24.920 --> 00:15:26.750
why persecutest thou me?
356
00:15:26.750 --> 00:15:30.320
And in the next verse he says - Who are thou Lord?
357
00:15:30.320 --> 00:15:33.950
That's what Saul says - who art thou Lord?
358
00:15:33.950 --> 00:15:36.800
And Jesus said, I'm Jesus
whom thou persecutest.
359
00:15:36.800 --> 00:15:38.930
But notice, he called Jesus -
360
00:15:38.930 --> 00:15:43.610
Lord. That was the moment that he got saved.
361
00:15:43.610 --> 00:15:45.770
We're told in Romans 10,
362
00:15:45.770 --> 00:15:50.660
if any man will call Jesus
Lord, he shall be saved.
363
00:15:50.660 --> 00:15:54.680
And in that moment, Saul who
later became the apostle Paul,
364
00:15:54.680 --> 00:15:58.010
in that moment, he received
the first work of grace.
365
00:15:58.010 --> 00:16:00.410
The spirit of God entered into his heart
366
00:16:00.410 --> 00:16:05.410
and laying on the road to
Damascus, he was born again.
367
00:16:05.510 --> 00:16:07.700
But three days later,
368
00:16:07.700 --> 00:16:11.150
he had a subsequent experience
when a disciple named Ananias
369
00:16:11.150 --> 00:16:14.390
showed up. and Ananias laid hands on him.
370
00:16:14.390 --> 00:16:18.590
And we read about this in Acts 9:17,
371
00:16:18.590 --> 00:16:21.080
and Ananias went his way and entered into the house
372
00:16:21.080 --> 00:16:25.670
and putting his hands on him
said Saul, even the Lord Jesus
373
00:16:25.670 --> 00:16:30.110
that appeared to be in the way
as thou cameest, has sent me
374
00:16:30.110 --> 00:16:32.390
that thou mightest receive thy sight
375
00:16:32.390 --> 00:16:35.600
and be filled with the Holy Spirit,
376
00:16:35.600 --> 00:16:39.350
which was a subsequent experience, a 2nd work of grace.
377
00:16:39.350 --> 00:16:42.200
This was different than what happened to him on the road
378
00:16:42.200 --> 00:16:44.150
to Damascus. On the road to Damascus,
379
00:16:44.150 --> 00:16:47.210
he got saved. The Holy Spirit came and he was born again.
380
00:16:47.210 --> 00:16:50.900
But now, when Ananias came, this was a different experience,
381
00:16:50.900 --> 00:16:53.600
a subsequent work of grace.
382
00:16:53.600 --> 00:16:56.390
And we know that he spoke in tongues even though it's not
383
00:16:56.390 --> 00:16:58.250
recorded in Acts 9.
384
00:16:58.250 --> 00:16:59.900
And the reason we know that is
385
00:16:59.900 --> 00:17:04.070
because Paul wrote about it himself in 1 Corinthians 14:18,
386
00:17:04.070 --> 00:17:08.030
when Paul himself said, I thank my God I speak
387
00:17:08.030 --> 00:17:10.400
with tongues more than ye all,
388
00:17:10.400 --> 00:17:13.730
which is Paul's own testimony,
that when he was filled
389
00:17:13.730 --> 00:17:16.550
with the Holy Spirit, he also spoke in tongues.
390
00:17:16.550 --> 00:17:20.630
Then we see this pattern is repeated again in the household
391
00:17:20.630 --> 00:17:24.290
of Cornelius, and that's in Acts 10:44
392
00:17:24.290 --> 00:17:27.440
and 45 - when Peter is preaching the gospel
393
00:17:27.440 --> 00:17:28.910
to a gentile crowd,
394
00:17:28.910 --> 00:17:32.210
they believe and at one moment they get saved
395
00:17:32.210 --> 00:17:34.850
and they also get baptized in the Holy Spirit.
396
00:17:34.850 --> 00:17:36.860
Which means, sometimes these two works
397
00:17:36.860 --> 00:17:39.050
of grace can occur in one moment.
398
00:17:39.050 --> 00:17:42.860
And we find it in Acts 10:44 -
As he yet speak these words,
399
00:17:42.860 --> 00:17:46.070
the Holy Ghost fell on them when they heard the word
400
00:17:46.070 --> 00:17:47.300
verse 46 -
401
00:17:47.300 --> 00:17:49.380
for they heard them speak with tongues
402
00:17:49.380 --> 00:17:52.710
and magnify God. They were saved
403
00:17:52.710 --> 00:17:54.300
and they received the 2nd work
404
00:17:54.300 --> 00:17:57.120
of grace all in one ball of wax.
405
00:17:57.120 --> 00:17:59.430
It can happen to you all at once as well.
406
00:17:59.430 --> 00:18:01.620
Usually it's two separate experiences,
407
00:18:01.620 --> 00:18:05.070
but here we find that it
can occur in one event.
408
00:18:05.070 --> 00:18:08.310
And then when you come to Acts 19,
409
00:18:08.310 --> 00:18:09.660
the 5th example,
410
00:18:09.660 --> 00:18:13.560
and by the way, Acts 19 is 23 years
411
00:18:13.560 --> 00:18:15.360
after the day of Pentecost.
412
00:18:15.360 --> 00:18:17.190
That's a long time.
413
00:18:17.190 --> 00:18:19.530
And when you come to Acts 19, you find
414
00:18:19.530 --> 00:18:21.900
that Paul came into the city of Ephesus
415
00:18:21.900 --> 00:18:25.140
and he found certain disciples; they were disciples
416
00:18:25.140 --> 00:18:26.190
of John the Baptist.
417
00:18:26.190 --> 00:18:28.260
They had been baptized by John the Baptist,
418
00:18:28.260 --> 00:18:30.510
but they didn't know that Jesus came.
419
00:18:30.510 --> 00:18:33.150
And Paul preached the gospel to them, told them
420
00:18:33.150 --> 00:18:37.680
that Jesus the Messiah came and he re-baptized them in water
421
00:18:37.680 --> 00:18:40.290
after they repented and after they were saved
422
00:18:40.290 --> 00:18:43.320
and they had expressed their faith in Christ.
423
00:18:43.320 --> 00:18:47.160
And once he baptized them
in water, he didn't stop.
424
00:18:47.160 --> 00:18:51.270
Acts 19:6 says, And Paul laid his hands on them
425
00:18:51.270 --> 00:18:53.160
and the Holy Ghost came on them
426
00:18:53.160 --> 00:18:55.200
and they spake with tongues
427
00:18:55.200 --> 00:18:58.740
and they prophesied. Well, they were already saved.
428
00:18:58.740 --> 00:19:00.390
He baptized 'em in water.
429
00:19:00.390 --> 00:19:02.220
He could have just said - See you guys later.
430
00:19:02.220 --> 00:19:04.740
But Paul knew the work was not done.
431
00:19:04.740 --> 00:19:06.570
They needed the 2nd work of grace,
432
00:19:06.570 --> 00:19:08.670
which is a subsequent experience.
433
00:19:08.670 --> 00:19:11.670
So in Acts 2, we find people are saved.
434
00:19:11.670 --> 00:19:15.270
Then subsequently, they are
filled with the Holy Spirit.
435
00:19:15.270 --> 00:19:17.070
My friends, this is so important.
436
00:19:17.070 --> 00:19:19.770
Acts 8: we find the Samaritans,
437
00:19:19.770 --> 00:19:21.900
they received the gospel, they were saved,
438
00:19:21.900 --> 00:19:22.980
they were water baptized.
439
00:19:22.980 --> 00:19:24.600
That's the 1st work of grace.
440
00:19:24.600 --> 00:19:27.060
Then later they received the 2nd work of grace,
441
00:19:27.060 --> 00:19:29.490
which is the infilling of the Holy Spirit.
442
00:19:29.490 --> 00:19:32.040
The Apostle Paul was saved: the 1st work
443
00:19:32.040 --> 00:19:33.960
of grace on the road to Damascus.
444
00:19:33.960 --> 00:19:36.570
He was born again, but 3-days later,
445
00:19:36.570 --> 00:19:38.760
he received a subsequent experience
446
00:19:38.760 --> 00:19:40.800
of being baptized in the Holy Ghost.
447
00:19:40.800 --> 00:19:42.690
That's the 2nd work of grace.
448
00:19:42.690 --> 00:19:44.670
Then you go to the household of Cornelius:
449
00:19:44.670 --> 00:19:46.800
they hear the gospel, they are saved,
450
00:19:46.800 --> 00:19:48.990
and bam - the Holy Spirit also comes upon them.
451
00:19:48.990 --> 00:19:51.660
They receive both, in one moment. Then you come
452
00:19:51.660 --> 00:19:54.930
to Acts 19, Paul preaches the gospel
453
00:19:54.930 --> 00:19:56.160
to this group of disciples.
454
00:19:56.160 --> 00:19:58.800
They get saved. He water baptizes them.
455
00:19:58.800 --> 00:20:00.510
That's the 1st work of grace.
456
00:20:00.510 --> 00:20:01.530
But he didn't leave them
457
00:20:01.530 --> 00:20:03.870
until they received the 2nd work of grace.
458
00:20:03.870 --> 00:20:05.310
He laid his hands on them.
459
00:20:06.360 --> 00:20:08.160
They were baptized in the Holy Ghost.
460
00:20:08.160 --> 00:20:09.450
They began to speak in tongues.
461
00:20:09.450 --> 00:20:12.990
But in all of these examples,
we find there are two works
462
00:20:12.990 --> 00:20:14.940
of grace, which are essential
463
00:20:14.940 --> 00:20:17.070
and fundamental to every believer's life.
464
00:20:17.070 --> 00:20:18.750
This is for everyone.
465
00:20:18.750 --> 00:20:22.470
And in every single case they're saved.
466
00:20:22.470 --> 00:20:24.720
Then they're baptized with the Holy Ghost.
467
00:20:24.720 --> 00:20:27.120
And when they're baptized
with the Holy Ghost,
468
00:20:27.120 --> 00:20:29.310 line:15%
they also speak with other tongues.
469
00:20:29.310 --> 00:20:33.420 line:15%
But why tongues? What
are tongues all about?
470
00:20:33.420 --> 00:20:36.000 line:15%
That's what we're going to
see in the next program.
471
00:20:36.000 --> 00:20:38.700 line:15%
But if you've never received the 2nd work of grace,
472
00:20:38.700 --> 00:20:42.000 line:15%
which is being baptized in
the Holy Spirit, you call us
473
00:20:42.000 --> 00:20:43.290 line:15%
and we'll pray with you
474
00:20:43.290 --> 00:20:46.530 line:15%
because there's a subsequent
work of God waiting
475
00:20:46.530 --> 00:20:48.790 line:15%
for you right now.
476
00:20:48.790 --> 00:20:50.080
But I'll be back in just a moment.
477
00:20:58.210 --> 00:20:59.680
Someone has asked the question -
478
00:20:59.680 --> 00:21:02.440 line:15%
Why do people fall in God's presence?
479
00:21:02.440 --> 00:21:05.290 line:15%
Well, the first time that I saw that, I was quite shocked
480
00:21:05.290 --> 00:21:07.690 line:15%
because I had never seen that in my church
481
00:21:07.690 --> 00:21:08.830 line:15%
where I was growing up.
482
00:21:08.830 --> 00:21:11.560 line:15%
But there in front of me was a prayer line
483
00:21:11.560 --> 00:21:13.960 line:15%
and someone was laying hands on the sick
484
00:21:13.960 --> 00:21:17.080 line:15%
and the people began to fall unto the ground.
485
00:21:17.080 --> 00:21:19.900 line:15%
It literally looked like they
were collapsing under the
486
00:21:19.900 --> 00:21:23.020 line:15%
weight of something - and that's exactly what was happening.
487
00:21:23.020 --> 00:21:27.010 line:15%
The supernatural power of God, heavily came upon them
488
00:21:27.010 --> 00:21:28.990 line:15%
and something had to give
489
00:21:28.990 --> 00:21:30.550 line:15%
and their feet let out from unto them.
490
00:21:30.550 --> 00:21:32.440 line:15%
They collapsed onto the floor.
491
00:21:32.440 --> 00:21:33.550 line:15%
And in fact, this happened
492
00:21:33.550 --> 00:21:37.690 line:15%
to me in 1975 when I was a young man.
493
00:21:37.690 --> 00:21:40.780 line:15%
I was prayed for, collapsed
on the floor, felt the power
494
00:21:40.780 --> 00:21:43.660 line:15%
of God radiating from my head
to my feet and back and forth.
495
00:21:43.660 --> 00:21:47.680 line:15%
And when I stood up, I
was miraculously healed.
496
00:21:47.680 --> 00:21:50.620 line:15%
That is why some people collapse.
497
00:21:50.620 --> 00:21:54.100 line:15%
In the presence of God, the
power of God comes upon them,
498
00:21:54.100 --> 00:21:55.870 line:15%
and something's got to give.
499
00:21:55.870 --> 00:21:59.320 line:15%
And it's not God. It's
the person who collapses.
500
00:21:59.320 --> 00:22:01.000
If you do not speak in tongues
501
00:22:01.000 --> 00:22:02.860
or if you do speak in tongues,
502
00:22:02.860 --> 00:22:04.870
this series, Speaking In Tongues: What Is It?
503
00:22:04.870 --> 00:22:07.480
And is it really for everyone - will be an eyeopener
504

and a game changer in your life.
505
00:22:09.850 --> 00:22:12.160
Many people are confused about tongues.
506
00:22:12.160 --> 00:22:15.220
So Rick, who is also once
confused about this subject,
507
00:22:15.220 --> 00:22:16.900
takes you into the scriptures to see
508
00:22:16.900 --> 00:22:19.960
what the Bible says about: Speaking in tongues -
509
00:22:19.960 --> 00:22:22.270
The purpose of tongues - Are tongues really
510
00:22:22.270 --> 00:22:25.180
for every believer - The value of speaking in tongues -
511
00:22:25.180 --> 00:22:26.890
and so much more.
512
00:22:26.890 --> 00:22:28.210

Hey, this is Rick Renner
534
00:23:31.030 --> 00:23:34.570
and I'm standing outside
our ministry headquarters in
535
00:23:34.570 --> 00:23:36.100
Tulsa, Oklahoma.
536
00:23:36.100 --> 00:23:38.800
Look at it. It's just so wonderful.
537
00:23:38.800 --> 00:23:42.160
And from this location, we are ministering
538
00:23:42.160 --> 00:23:45.320 line:15%
to people all over the world.
539
00:23:45.320 --> 00:23:48.980 line:15%
We have thousands and thousands of phone calls,
540
00:23:48.980 --> 00:23:52.430 line:15%
and I'm not exaggerating, from every single part
541
00:23:52.430 --> 00:23:55.130
of the planet, from people that are watching us on all kinds
542
00:23:55.130 --> 00:23:58.460
of social media or television,
so many different kinds
543
00:23:58.460 --> 00:23:59.990
of platforms.
544
00:23:59.990 --> 00:24:02.750
And from here, we're sending our programs
545
00:24:02.750 --> 00:24:04.520
to the ends of the earth.
546
00:24:04.520 --> 00:24:06.230
And that's our assignment.
547
00:24:06.230 --> 00:24:10.400 line:15%
Proverbs 10:21 says, The lips of the righteous feed many -
548
00:24:10.400 --> 00:24:13.130 line:15%
and it's our job to feed many the wonderful word of God.
549
00:24:13.130 --> 00:24:16.190
And you're a big part of
that because you're a friend
550
00:24:16.190 --> 00:24:17.810
and you are a partner.
551
00:24:17.810 --> 00:24:21.260 line:15%
And right now we have a goal
to pay off this facility.
552
00:24:21.260 --> 00:24:24.920 line:15%
And guess what? We're already at 88% of our goal -
553
00:24:24.920 --> 00:24:26.270 line:15%
88%.
554
00:24:26.270 --> 00:24:29.090 line:15%
We're almost there. Week by week,
555
00:24:29.090 --> 00:24:32.030 line:15%
we're just inching further and further toward completion.
556
00:24:32.030 --> 00:24:36.110 line:15%
And when we're finished, it's
gonna release so many finances
557
00:24:36.110 --> 00:24:38.000 line:15%
to help us take the teaching of the Bible
558
00:24:38.000 --> 00:24:40.280 line:15%
to the ends of the earth.
559
00:24:40.280 --> 00:24:41.450
And I want to say "thank you"
560
00:24:41.450 --> 00:24:42.950 line:15%
for being a part of our Giving Team.
561
00:24:42.950 --> 00:24:45.950 line:15%
And if you're not yet a part of our Giving Team,
562
00:24:45.950 --> 00:24:48.020 line:15%
I'm asking you to please join us
563
00:24:48.020 --> 00:24:50.270 line:15%
to help us retire the
dead on this facility
564
00:24:50.270 --> 00:24:52.400 line:15%
so we can obey the great commission
565
00:24:52.400 --> 00:24:54.290 line:15%
and take the teaching of the Bible
566
00:24:54.290 --> 00:24:56.900 line:15%
and the words of Jesus
to the ends of the earth.
567
00:25:04.910 --> 00:25:07.610
Today, I have shown you from
the Book of Acts, the pattern
568
00:25:07.610 --> 00:25:08.660
of being saved
569
00:25:08.660 --> 00:25:10.790
and then subsequently being filled
570
00:25:10.790 --> 00:25:13.250
with the Holy Spirit and speaking with other tongues.
571
00:25:13.250 --> 00:25:15.380
My friends, there are 5-examples
572
00:25:15.380 --> 00:25:16.760
of this in the Book of Acts.
573
00:25:16.760 --> 00:25:20.690
It is irrefutable and
God has salvation for you
574
00:25:20.690 --> 00:25:24.170
and God also secondly has
the baptism in the Holy
575
00:25:24.170 --> 00:25:25.640
Spirit for you.
576
00:25:25.640 --> 00:25:27.260
But I want you to have the entire series
577
00:25:27.260 --> 00:25:29.090 line:15%
because it is such an eyeopener.
578
00:25:29.090 --> 00:25:31.370 line:15%
And the name of this series is, Speaking in Tongues:
579
00:25:31.370 --> 00:25:34.940 line:15%
What is it and is it really for everyone?
580
00:25:34.940 --> 00:25:36.350 line:15%
And it comes with a study guide.
581
00:25:36.350 --> 00:25:39.230 line:15%
You need to hear this series,
you need to share this series
582
00:25:39.230 --> 00:25:40.430 line:15%
with someone else.
583
00:25:40.430 --> 00:25:42.350 line:15%
And we're offering you my book,
584
00:25:42.350 --> 00:25:44.690 line:15%
which is called the Holy Spirit And You, Working Together
585
00:25:44.690 --> 00:25:46.100 line:15%
as Heaven's Dynamic Duo.
586
00:25:46.100 --> 00:25:49.940 line:15%
And my book, Why We Need the Gifts of the Holy Spirit.
587
00:25:49.940 --> 00:25:52.100 line:15%
These two books are marvelous,
588
00:25:52.100 --> 00:25:54.170 line:15%
and we're offering you my brand new book,
589
00:25:54.170 --> 00:25:56.870 line:15%
which is called, Fallen Angels, Giants, Monsters,
590
00:25:56.870 --> 00:25:59.480 line:15%
and the World Before the Flood.
591
00:25:59.480 --> 00:26:00.860 line:15%
But I wanna pray for you right now.
592
00:26:00.860 --> 00:26:02.450 line:15%
Put your hand on your heart.
593
00:26:02.450 --> 00:26:05.330 line:15%
Father, I thank you that you have many works of grace
594
00:26:05.330 --> 00:26:07.130 line:15%
for us: Salvation,
595
00:26:07.130 --> 00:26:09.980 line:15%
you've got the baptism and the Holy Spirit for us.
596
00:26:09.980 --> 00:26:12.200 line:15%
And I pray, father, for my
friend listening to me today
597
00:26:12.200 --> 00:26:15.350 line:15%
that has never received the
baptism in the Holy Spirit,
598
00:26:15.350 --> 00:26:18.500 line:15%
open your heart and say,
Jesus, fill me right now.
599
00:26:18.500 --> 00:26:20.930 line:15%
And Jesus, I ask you to baptize them
600
00:26:20.930 --> 00:26:23.780 line:15%
with the Holy Spirit in Jesus' name.
601
00:26:23.780 --> 00:26:26.180 line:15%
Amen. And if you want somebody to pray
602
00:26:26.180 --> 00:26:28.220 line:15%
with you specifically about this,
603
00:26:28.220 --> 00:26:29.990 line:15%
you call the number on the screen
604
00:26:29.990 --> 00:26:32.000 line:15%
because we're waiting to
pray for you right now,
605
00:26:32.000 --> 00:26:33.530 line:15%
but we'll be back tomorrow
606
00:26:33.530 --> 00:26:35.690 line:15%
and tomorrow we're gonna
really dive into the subject,
607
00:26:35.690 --> 00:26:37.550 line:15%
What is speaking in tongues?
608
00:26:37.550 --> 00:26:40.040 line:15%
What is the purpose of
it? It's going to be good.
609
00:26:40.040 --> 00:26:41.840 line:15%
I'll see you then.
610
00:26:41.840 --> 00:26:44.100 line:15%
If you've never received as your Savior
611
00:26:44.100 --> 00:26:48.510 line:15%
and Lord, now is the time for
you to experience a new life
612
00:26:48.510 --> 00:26:50.640 line:15%
Jesus has to give you.
613
00:26:50.640 --> 00:26:55.260 line:15%
Pray this prayer with me right now - Lord, I repent
614
00:26:55.260 --> 00:26:58.740 line:15%
of my sin and receive you as my Savior
615
00:26:58.740 --> 00:27:01.710 line:15%
and Lord. Wash away my sin
616
00:27:01.710 --> 00:27:04.740 line:15%
and make me completely new.
617
00:27:04.740 --> 00:27:08.580
I thank you that my sin is removed
618
00:27:08.580 --> 00:27:13.580 line:15%
and Satan no longer has any right to lay claim on me.
619
00:27:14.070 --> 00:27:18.060
I faithfully promise that I will serve you as my Lord
620
00:27:18.060 --> 00:27:19.740
for the rest of my life -
621
00:27:20.670 --> 00:27:21.670
Amen.
622
00:27:24.540 --> 00:27:27.390

prayer of salvation with us,
