00:00:01.260 --> 00:00:03.750
This program is made
possible by the giving
2
00:00:03.750 --> 00:00:06.990
of the God called partners
of Renner Ministries.
3
00:00:08.130 --> 00:00:10.260
Hey friends, this is Rick Renner
4
00:00:10.260 --> 00:00:13.920
and I'm just seated here
on my divan waiting for you
5
00:00:13.920 --> 00:00:17.160
so we can gather around
the wonderful word of God.
6
00:00:17.160 --> 00:00:20.400 line:15%
And this week I'm teaching a series called, Speaking
7
00:00:20.400 --> 00:00:21.690 line:15%
In Tongues.
8
00:00:21.690 --> 00:00:25.680 line:15%
What is it? And is it really for everyone?
9
00:00:25.680 --> 00:00:27.600 line:15%
When I was growing up in our church,
10
00:00:27.600 --> 00:00:30.570 line:15%
we didn't even believe
in speaking in tongues.
11
00:00:30.570 --> 00:00:33.210 line:15%
And today there's a lot of
people who do believe in it,
12
00:00:33.210 --> 00:00:35.640 line:15%
but they say, well, maybe
it's not for everyone.
13
00:00:35.640 --> 00:00:38.430 line:15%
But I showed you in the last program
14
00:00:38.430 --> 00:00:40.590 line:15%
that in the New Testament,
when you study a span
15
00:00:40.590 --> 00:00:44.550 line:15%
of 23 years from Pentecost all the way
16
00:00:44.550 --> 00:00:48.420 line:15%
to Acts 19, it was always the pattern
17
00:00:48.420 --> 00:00:49.680 line:15%
that people were saved.
18
00:00:49.680 --> 00:00:51.570 line:15%
And I call that the 1st work of grace,
19
00:00:51.570 --> 00:00:52.800 line:15%
and then subsequently,
20
00:00:52.800 --> 00:00:56.220 line:15%
they had another experience
called the baptism in the Holy
21
00:00:56.220 --> 00:00:59.100 line:15%
Spirit, which I refer to as the 2nd work of grace.
22
00:00:59.100 --> 00:01:02.340
And when they receive the
baptism in the Holy Spirit,
23
00:01:02.340 --> 00:01:06.090
every single time, they
also spoke in tongues.
24
00:01:06.090 --> 00:01:10.350 line:15%
But what is tongues? Why do
you have to speak in tongues?
25
00:01:10.350 --> 00:01:13.860 line:15%
What is tongues really all about?
26
00:01:13.860 --> 00:01:15.660 line:15%
That is what I'm going to be sharing
27
00:01:15.660 --> 00:01:17.280 line:15%
with you in today's program,
28
00:01:17.280 --> 00:01:19.440 line:15%
but you really ought to
order this entire series
29
00:01:19.440 --> 00:01:21.930 line:15%
and remember that it comes
with a study guide so
30
00:01:21.930 --> 00:01:24.090 line:15%
that you can read all the
material while you're seeing
31
00:01:24.090 --> 00:01:25.500 line:15%
or hearing the series.
32
00:01:25.500 --> 00:01:28.110 line:15%
And this week we're also
offering you my book,
33
00:01:28.110 --> 00:01:31.530 line:15%
which is called, The Holy Spirit And You Working Together
34
00:01:31.530 --> 00:01:33.660 line:15%
as Heaven's Dynamic Duo.
35
00:01:33.660 --> 00:01:36.870 line:15%
And we're offering you my
book called Why We Need The
36
00:01:36.870 --> 00:01:38.550 line:15%
Gifts of the Holy Spirit.
37
00:01:38.550 --> 00:01:42.330 line:15%
If you've not ordered yours
yet, please order yours today
38
00:01:42.330 --> 00:01:44.580 line:15%
and we're offering you my brand new book
39
00:01:44.580 --> 00:01:47.460 line:15%
and you can order it by going
online or by giving us a call.
40
00:01:47.460 --> 00:01:51.270 line:15%
And the name of the book is Fallen Angels, Giants,
41
00:01:51.270 --> 00:01:53.580 line:15%
Monsters in the World Before The Flood.
42
00:01:53.580 --> 00:01:56.820 line:15%
I don't believe I've ever had
more fun writing a book than
43
00:01:56.820 --> 00:01:57.900 line:15%
writing this one.
44
00:01:57.900 --> 00:02:01.590 line:15%
And by the way, I did so much
research on this subject.
45
00:02:01.590 --> 00:02:04.710 line:15%
This book has more than 300 end notes.
46
00:02:04.710 --> 00:02:07.320 line:15%
That's a lot of resources.
47
00:02:07.320 --> 00:02:11.130 line:15%
It has more than 300
pieces of art graphics
48
00:02:11.130 --> 00:02:14.610 line:15%
and illustration in
including photos that my team
49
00:02:14.610 --> 00:02:16.980 line:15%
and I took of the ruins of Noah's Ark
50
00:02:16.980 --> 00:02:19.980 line:15%
that really are lying on the lower slopes
51
00:02:19.980 --> 00:02:21.960 line:15%
of the Ara Mountain range.
52
00:02:21.960 --> 00:02:25.110 line:15%
And all of that is in this amazing book.
53
00:02:25.110 --> 00:02:28.140 line:15%
And the subtitle says how
the events of Noah's Ark
54
00:02:28.140 --> 00:02:32.220 line:15%
and the flood are relevant
to the end of the age.
55
00:02:32.220 --> 00:02:34.350 line:15%
So you can order that by giving us a call
56
00:02:34.350 --> 00:02:35.610
or by going online.
57
00:02:35.610 --> 00:02:38.700 line:15%
And actually we've got a lot
of resources on our website.
58
00:02:38.700 --> 00:02:40.350 line:15%
You have to just go there
and look at all of them.
59
00:02:40.350 --> 00:02:42.960 line:15%
You'll be amazed. And if you need prayer,
60
00:02:42.960 --> 00:02:44.760 line:15%
let us know how to pray for you.
61
00:02:44.760 --> 00:02:46.320 line:15%
We really wanna pray for you.
62
00:02:46.320 --> 00:02:48.090 line:15%
And the moment that phone rings
63
00:02:48.090 --> 00:02:49.890 line:15%
and the numbers on your screen
64
00:02:49.890 --> 00:02:52.830 line:15%
or the moment the email
shows up in our inbox
65
00:02:52.830 --> 00:02:55.110 line:15%
and our email address is right there.
66
00:02:55.110 --> 00:02:57.630 line:15%
The moment we hear from
you, we're going to begin
67
00:02:57.630 --> 00:02:59.440 line:15%
to pray according to your need.
68
00:02:59.440 --> 00:03:02.530 line:15%
And Jesus will do what needs to be done.
69
00:03:02.530 --> 00:03:05.290 line:15%
Sometimes what needs to
be done is different than
70
00:03:05.290 --> 00:03:09.280 line:15%
what we ask, but the good
news is Jesus knows what needs
71
00:03:09.280 --> 00:03:11.500 line:15%
to be done and we'll pray.
72
00:03:11.500 --> 00:03:13.030 line:15%
Jesus will hear us
73
00:03:13.030 --> 00:03:17.020 line:15%
and he will act in your life - Say Amen.
74
00:03:17.020 --> 00:03:18.730 line:15%
But today's gonna be good.
75
00:03:18.730 --> 00:03:21.310 line:15%
And today we're gonna talk about - What are Tongues?
76
00:03:21.310 --> 00:03:23.500 line:15%
What is the, what is the noise about tongues?
77
00:03:23.500 --> 00:03:28.090
Why are tongues so important?
What is it really all about?
78
00:03:28.090 --> 00:03:29.440
I'll be back in just a moment.
79
00:03:30.370 --> 00:03:33.550
Get ready for a teaching
that feeds your spirit
80
00:03:33.550 --> 00:03:35.380
and your mind
81
00:03:35.380 --> 00:03:39.100
where the word is the anchor in uncertain times
82
00:03:39.100 --> 00:03:42.400
and doctrine doesn't bend to culture.
83
00:03:42.400 --> 00:03:43.840
We keep it simple,
84
00:03:43.840 --> 00:03:48.430
but dive deep revealing a truth that strengthens us,
85
00:03:49.270 --> 00:03:50.890
a love that emboldens,
86
00:03:52.270 --> 00:03:54.460
and a mission that touches the world.
87
00:03:56.800 --> 00:03:58.360
Let's join Rick Renner
88
00:04:00.010 --> 00:04:01.010
Today.
89
00:04:01.010 --> 00:04:01.843
before we get into the teaching,
90
00:04:01.843 --> 00:04:03.940
I wanna share two wonderful testimonies
91
00:04:03.940 --> 00:04:05.440
that really blessed me.
92
00:04:05.440 --> 00:04:06.880
Listen to this.
93
00:04:06.880 --> 00:04:08.830 line:15%
Dear Rick and Denise and family,
94
00:04:08.830 --> 00:04:12.580 line:15%
I have no idea if you will ever personally read this letter,
95
00:04:12.580 --> 00:04:16.420 line:15%
but somehow I trust it will
make it into your hands.
96
00:04:16.420 --> 00:04:17.590 line:15%
Words cannot express
97
00:04:17.590 --> 00:04:20.830 line:15%
what your unlikely life
story has meant to me.
98
00:04:20.830 --> 00:04:23.680 line:15%
I've been sitting on the edge
of my seat with bated breath
99
00:04:23.680 --> 00:04:26.500 line:15%
as I have read every page of this book,
100
00:04:26.500 --> 00:04:30.910 line:15%
each chapter building upon the other. I've laughed, cried,
101
00:04:30.910 --> 00:04:33.400 line:15%
and most importantly been challenged
102
00:04:33.400 --> 00:04:36.250 line:15%
and hungry for more of God in my own life.
103
00:04:36.250 --> 00:04:37.390 line:15%
You so beautifully
104
00:04:37.390 --> 00:04:41.110 line:15%
and eloquently told your story including your upbringing
105
00:04:41.110 --> 00:04:43.840 line:15%
as a little boy, your life
as a young married man
106
00:04:43.840 --> 00:04:47.230 line:15%
and a young father and
now your present ministry.
107
00:04:47.230 --> 00:04:49.240 line:15%
Only God could do this kind
108
00:04:49.240 --> 00:04:52.930 line:15%
of an outreach into a very unlikely place,
109
00:04:52.930 --> 00:04:56.620 line:15%
the former Soviet Union - Wow. We've listened
110
00:04:56.620 --> 00:04:58.960 line:15%
to your teaching and seen
you on various platforms
111
00:04:58.960 --> 00:05:00.190 line:15%
for a few years,
112
00:05:00.190 --> 00:05:03.310 line:15%
but never did we realize
your humble beginnings.
113
00:05:03.310 --> 00:05:06.850 line:15%
Thanks to all of you for being
the mighty warriors you are
114
00:05:06.850 --> 00:05:09.430 line:15%
and for what you're doing for the Lord.
115
00:05:09.430 --> 00:05:11.500
Well, I'm gonna tell you
our story is unlikely,
116
00:05:12.370 --> 00:05:15.190
but God has a story for you too.
117
00:05:15.190 --> 00:05:17.680
And if you feel you're
unlikely to be used,
118
00:05:17.680 --> 00:05:20.230
you're the very one that
he's tapping on the shoulder
119
00:05:20.230 --> 00:05:23.230
to be used to do something wonderful.
120
00:05:23.230 --> 00:05:27.220 line:15%
But hey, here's one more testimony. Hello Prayer partners.
121
00:05:27.220 --> 00:05:29.500 line:15%
After calling today and receiving prayer with one
122
00:05:29.500 --> 00:05:33.520 line:15%
of your team members, I thanked her for taking time with me.
123
00:05:33.520 --> 00:05:35.590 line:15%
I expressed how grateful my husband
124
00:05:35.590 --> 00:05:37.420 line:15%
and I are for your prayer team.
125
00:05:37.420 --> 00:05:40.030 line:15%
We have a list of about 15 ministries
126
00:05:40.030 --> 00:05:42.100 line:15%
with their prayer line phone numbers,
127
00:05:42.100 --> 00:05:44.050 line:15%
but guest whose number is at the top
128
00:05:44.050 --> 00:05:46.210 line:15%
of our list? You guessed it
129
00:05:46.210 --> 00:05:47.830 line:15%
Renner Ministries. You
130
00:05:47.830 --> 00:05:50.860 line:15%
wonderful people are so well schooled in the word
131
00:05:50.860 --> 00:05:54.370 line:15%
and in spiritual matters and you pray with faith.
132
00:05:54.370 --> 00:05:55.690
Well, I want to say thank you
133
00:05:55.690 --> 00:05:57.620 line:15%
because we wanna pray with faith.
134
00:05:57.620 --> 00:06:00.110 line:15%
And if you have a need in
your life, we want to pray
135
00:06:00.110 --> 00:06:01.430 line:15%
with you as well.
136
00:06:01.430 --> 00:06:03.500 line:15%
But today we're gonna talk about tongues
137
00:06:03.500 --> 00:06:05.330 line:15%
and what is it really all about?
138
00:06:05.330 --> 00:06:08.330 line:15%
And I want to begin with
my personal testimony.
139
00:06:08.330 --> 00:06:10.760 line:15%
When I was a young man, I got
really hungry for the things
140
00:06:10.760 --> 00:06:14.510 line:15%
of God and I began to seek the
baptism in the Holy Spirit.
141
00:06:14.510 --> 00:06:17.540 line:15%
I didn't realize how easy
it was to receive it,
142
00:06:17.540 --> 00:06:18.830
and I sought it and sought it.
143
00:06:18.830 --> 00:06:20.780
But finally one day I opened my heart
144
00:06:20.780 --> 00:06:24.560 line:15%
and I was gloriously
baptized in the Holy Ghost,
145
00:06:24.560 --> 00:06:27.140 line:15%
which I call the 2nd work of grace.
146
00:06:27.140 --> 00:06:29.780 line:15%
I'd been saved much earlier in life
147
00:06:29.780 --> 00:06:31.190 line:15%
and I had peace with God.
148
00:06:31.190 --> 00:06:34.220
I knew that if I died,
I was going to heaven.
149
00:06:34.220 --> 00:06:36.650
I knew that everything between
me and God was all right
150
00:06:36.650 --> 00:06:39.830
and I had peace, but I didn't have power.
151
00:06:39.830 --> 00:06:43.040
And in fact, in our church, we
really didn't see much power.
152
00:06:43.040 --> 00:06:45.110
We were even afraid to witness.
153
00:06:45.110 --> 00:06:47.780
We went out and regularly testified,
154
00:06:47.780 --> 00:06:51.440
but my goodness, it just terrified me to go out and witness
155
00:06:51.440 --> 00:06:53.330
because I didn't have any power.
156
00:06:53.330 --> 00:06:55.910
Power comes with the 2nd work of grace,
157
00:06:55.910 --> 00:06:57.950
which is the baptism in the Holy Spirit.
158
00:06:57.950 --> 00:07:01.970
Well, finally, I received the
baptism in the Holy Spirit.
159
00:07:01.970 --> 00:07:04.670
Bam. It was like the power of God hit me.
160
00:07:04.670 --> 00:07:07.730
And I knew I had been filled,
161
00:07:07.730 --> 00:07:09.980
but I did not immediately speak in tongues
162
00:07:09.980 --> 00:07:12.230
until several hours later.
163
00:07:12.230 --> 00:07:14.750
First of all, I was with someone else
164
00:07:14.750 --> 00:07:16.970
and I was a little timid
about speaking in tongues,
165
00:07:16.970 --> 00:07:18.920
but boy, I sure wanted to.
166
00:07:18.920 --> 00:07:22.040
But when I finally got into a
place where I was by myself,
167
00:07:22.040 --> 00:07:25.970
I got on my knees and I said,
all right, Lord, here it goes.
168
00:07:25.970 --> 00:07:28.130
I've been filled with
the spirit now I want my
169
00:07:28.130 --> 00:07:29.570
spirit to pray.
170
00:07:29.570 --> 00:07:33.500
I wanna pray in tongues,
and I begin to pray
171
00:07:33.500 --> 00:07:36.500
and suddenly new words begin
to come out of my mouth.
172
00:07:36.500 --> 00:07:39.860
And I stopped it and I
thought, what are you doing?
173
00:07:39.860 --> 00:07:43.100
You're just making this
up. This is not real.
174
00:07:43.100 --> 00:07:46.670
And I stopped and I heard
the Holy Spirit say, no, no,
175
00:07:46.670 --> 00:07:47.690
no, this is right.
176
00:07:47.690 --> 00:07:50.240
Keep going. So I started again
177
00:07:50.240 --> 00:07:53.060
and just fearful that I was making it up.
178
00:07:53.060 --> 00:07:54.380
I stopped it again
179
00:07:55.490 --> 00:07:58.220
and I heard the Holy Spirit
said, come on one more time,
180
00:07:58.220 --> 00:07:59.810
just let it go.
181
00:07:59.810 --> 00:08:01.490
And I began to speak in tongues again
182
00:08:01.490 --> 00:08:05.810
and bam, this time it was
like a river began to flow out
183
00:08:05.810 --> 00:08:08.120
of my inner man.
184
00:08:08.120 --> 00:08:11.210
And that is what happens
when you get filled
185
00:08:11.210 --> 00:08:12.620
with the spirit.
186
00:08:12.620 --> 00:08:16.970
Listen to this. In Matthew 12:24,
187
00:08:16.970 --> 00:08:20.480
Jesus said, out of the abundance of the heart,
188
00:08:20.480 --> 00:08:23.030
the mouth speaks.
189
00:08:23.030 --> 00:08:25.280
Did you hear that? Out of the abundance
190
00:08:25.280 --> 00:08:27.200
of the heart, the mouth speaks.
191
00:08:27.200 --> 00:08:29.750
So whatever your heart is filled with,
192
00:08:29.750 --> 00:08:31.160
it's gonna come out of your mouth.
193
00:08:31.160 --> 00:08:33.170
And I'll give you some examples.
194
00:08:33.170 --> 00:08:36.470
If your heart is filled
with unforgiveness,
195
00:08:36.470 --> 00:08:37.850
then what's gonna come outta your mouth?
196
00:08:37.850 --> 00:08:39.440
Words of unforgiveness.
197
00:08:39.440 --> 00:08:40.910
That's just the law
198
00:08:40.910 --> 00:08:44.270
that Jesus gave us in Matthew 12:34: Out
199
00:08:44.270 --> 00:08:46.850
of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks.
200
00:08:46.850 --> 00:08:49.040
So if your heart is
filled with unforgiveness,
201
00:08:49.040 --> 00:08:51.260
you're gonna have words of
unforgiveness in your mouth.
202
00:08:51.260 --> 00:08:54.350
Your mouth is the outlet
for what is in you.
203
00:08:54.350 --> 00:08:56.910
If your heart is filled with bitterness,
204
00:08:56.910 --> 00:08:59.280
bitter words are gonna
come out of your mouth
205
00:08:59.280 --> 00:09:02.520
because your mouth is the
outlet for what is in you.
206
00:09:02.520 --> 00:09:04.140
If you're filled with joy,
207
00:09:04.140 --> 00:09:05.730
what's gonna come outta your mouth?
208
00:09:05.730 --> 00:09:08.220
Joyful words are gonna
come out of your mouth
209
00:09:08.220 --> 00:09:11.220
because the mouth is the outlet for
210
00:09:11.220 --> 00:09:13.590
what is in inside you.
211
00:09:14.490 --> 00:09:15.750
So when you look at the book
212
00:09:15.750 --> 00:09:19.020
of Acts starting in Acts 2, all the way
213
00:09:19.020 --> 00:09:23.880
to Acts 19, which is a span of 23 years,
214
00:09:23.880 --> 00:09:28.410
you find that every time
people's hearts are filled
215
00:09:28.410 --> 00:09:33.000
with the Holy Spirit tongues
comes out their mouth every
216
00:09:33.000 --> 00:09:34.830
single time.
217
00:09:34.830 --> 00:09:37.080
If you didn't see the
last program, please go
218
00:09:37.080 --> 00:09:39.360
to the archives or order the entire series
219
00:09:39.360 --> 00:09:42.960
where I show you very
clearly from the book of Acts
220
00:09:42.960 --> 00:09:46.590
that every time people are
baptized in the Holy Spirit,
221
00:09:46.590 --> 00:09:49.080
they also speak with tongues.
222
00:09:49.080 --> 00:09:52.170
And that is because whatever
is in the heart comes out
223
00:09:52.170 --> 00:09:53.490
of the mouth.
224
00:09:53.490 --> 00:09:56.940
And of course the 1st example we find is in Acts
225
00:09:56.940 --> 00:09:59.190
2, where they're all gathered together on the day
226
00:09:59.190 --> 00:10:01.410
of Pentecost and suddenly there's a sound
227
00:10:01.410 --> 00:10:02.790
of a mighty rushing wind
228
00:10:02.790 --> 00:10:05.340
and they all were filled
with the Holy Spirit.
229
00:10:05.340 --> 00:10:07.560
And the Bible says in verse 4: they begin
230
00:10:07.560 --> 00:10:11.610
to speak in tongues as the
Spirit gave them utterance,
231
00:10:11.610 --> 00:10:13.170
as the Spirit gave them utterance.
232
00:10:13.170 --> 00:10:15.030
And here's what we discover.
233
00:10:15.030 --> 00:10:18.060
When a person is baptized
in the Holy Spirit,
234
00:10:18.060 --> 00:10:19.980
which is a subsequent work of grace
235
00:10:19.980 --> 00:10:24.720
after salvation, that looses
the tongue of their spirit
236
00:10:24.720 --> 00:10:28.200
to speak, and suddenly their
spirit begins speaking,
237
00:10:28.200 --> 00:10:30.090
and that's what tongues is.
238
00:10:30.090 --> 00:10:33.240
Tongues is not mere gibberish.
239
00:10:33.240 --> 00:10:37.290
It is your human spirit speaking to God.
240
00:10:37.290 --> 00:10:40.170
And when you're baptized
in the Holy Spirit,
241
00:10:40.170 --> 00:10:43.740
it is like the power of God
cuts the rope on your tongue
242
00:10:43.740 --> 00:10:45.630
and your tongue is loose
243
00:10:45.630 --> 00:10:47.970
and your spiritual tongue begins to speak.
244
00:10:47.970 --> 00:10:51.870
And spiritual words begin to flow up and through your mouth.
245
00:10:51.870 --> 00:10:55.410
And we call it tongues or we
call it a prayer language.
246
00:10:55.410 --> 00:10:58.350
It is a real legitimate language.
247
00:10:58.350 --> 00:11:03.180
Now, in 1 Thessalonians 5:23,
248
00:11:03.180 --> 00:11:06.240
the Apostle Paul very clearly states that we
249
00:11:06.240 --> 00:11:08.400
as individuals are 3-parts.
250
00:11:08.400 --> 00:11:12.240
We are spirit, we are
soul, and we are the body.
251
00:11:12.240 --> 00:11:15.150
Most people are aware of the
body because you can see it.
252
00:11:15.150 --> 00:11:18.870
The soul is the mind, it's
the emotions, it's your will.
253
00:11:18.870 --> 00:11:23.310
But lying deep below all
of it is the human spirit.
254
00:11:23.310 --> 00:11:24.930
That's the real you.
255
00:11:24.930 --> 00:11:28.050
The real you is the
you that we cannot see.
256
00:11:28.050 --> 00:11:31.980
It's the you at the very core
of your being, your spirit.
257
00:11:31.980 --> 00:11:34.380
Your spirit lives in this body.
258
00:11:34.380 --> 00:11:37.800
Your spirit thinks and
functions through your soul.
259
00:11:37.800 --> 00:11:39.600
But if you put all that aside
260
00:11:39.600 --> 00:11:41.580
and go down to the very
deepest part of you,
261
00:11:41.580 --> 00:11:45.330
the very deepest part of you is spirit.
262
00:11:45.330 --> 00:11:48.600
It's spirit. Well, let me ask you,
263
00:11:48.600 --> 00:11:50.640
what language does spirit speak?
264
00:11:51.510 --> 00:11:53.980
Does spirit speak German?
265
00:11:55.300 --> 00:12:00.220
Does Spirit speak Spanish?
Does Spirit speak French?
266
00:12:00.220 --> 00:12:04.270
Does Spirit speak Russian?
Does spirit speak English?
267
00:12:04.270 --> 00:12:07.900
What language does spirit speak?
268
00:12:07.900 --> 00:12:12.220
Well, let me tell you. Just
like a German speaks German,
269
00:12:12.220 --> 00:12:14.110
a Spaniard speaks Spanish.
270
00:12:14.110 --> 00:12:16.300
A Russian speaks Russian.
271
00:12:16.300 --> 00:12:20.050
A French person speaks
French, you speak English,
272
00:12:20.050 --> 00:12:23.410
spirit speaks spirit.
273
00:12:23.410 --> 00:12:27.245
Spirit is the language
of the human spirit.
274
00:12:28.390 --> 00:12:29.860
Spirit speaks spirit.
275
00:12:29.860 --> 00:12:34.750
Well, in John 4:24, Jesus said,
276
00:12:34.750 --> 00:12:37.420
God is a spirit
277
00:12:37.420 --> 00:12:40.750
and they that worship him
must worship him in spirit
278
00:12:40.750 --> 00:12:42.310
and in truth.
279
00:12:42.310 --> 00:12:47.110
So hold on, I'm a spirit.
That's the deepest part of me.
280
00:12:47.110 --> 00:12:49.000
And God is a spirit.
281
00:12:49.000 --> 00:12:52.000
Spirit speaks spirit,
which means when I begin
282
00:12:52.000 --> 00:12:54.490
to speak in tongues, when
my spiritual tongue has been
283
00:12:54.490 --> 00:12:56.410
loose, and suddenly I'm able
284
00:12:56.410 --> 00:12:59.020
to pray in a spiritual heavenly language,
285
00:12:59.020 --> 00:13:03.070
I am speaking spiritual language, spirit to spirit.
286
00:13:03.070 --> 00:13:04.930
God is a spirit, I'm a spirit.
287
00:13:04.930 --> 00:13:08.080
And now my spirit is connecting with God
288
00:13:08.080 --> 00:13:12.730
and it is bypassing my mind altogether. And my friends,
289
00:13:12.730 --> 00:13:14.650
eventually when you just pray in English,
290
00:13:14.650 --> 00:13:16.030
you run out of words.
291
00:13:16.030 --> 00:13:18.940
You know, my wife Denise
tells a testimony about
292
00:13:18.940 --> 00:13:21.370
before she was filled
with the Holy Spirit.
293
00:13:21.370 --> 00:13:22.780
She was lying on her bed one night
294
00:13:22.780 --> 00:13:24.340
and she was trying to worship the Lord
295
00:13:24.340 --> 00:13:27.610
and just trying to find
words to say, Jesus,
296
00:13:27.610 --> 00:13:28.630
how much I love you.
297
00:13:28.630 --> 00:13:32.140
And she said, Lord, you
are just stupendous.
298
00:13:33.010 --> 00:13:36.760
And when she said, you're stupendous, she said, that's it.
299
00:13:36.760 --> 00:13:37.900
I've run out of words.
300
00:13:37.900 --> 00:13:40.360
I need a heavenly language to communicate.
301
00:13:40.360 --> 00:13:42.130
And that's when Denise received the
302
00:13:42.130 --> 00:13:43.480
baptism in the Holy Spirit.
303
00:13:43.480 --> 00:13:45.490
Suddenly her spiritual tongue was loosed
304
00:13:45.490 --> 00:13:48.100
and she began to pray in other tongues
305
00:13:48.100 --> 00:13:50.140
and suddenly she moved into a realm
306
00:13:50.140 --> 00:13:53.320
of prayer like she had never
had in her entire life.
307
00:13:53.320 --> 00:13:56.230
My friends, it exceeds human vocabulary.
308
00:13:56.230 --> 00:14:01.000
It is your spirit speaking
to God who also is a spirit.
309
00:14:01.000 --> 00:14:05.620
It is the highest level of
prayer and intercession.
310
00:14:05.620 --> 00:14:07.630
And when you're filled
with the Holy Spirit
311
00:14:07.630 --> 00:14:09.640
and you begin to speak with other tongues,
312
00:14:09.640 --> 00:14:13.630
it is not just gibberish,
it is truly the language
313
00:14:13.630 --> 00:14:15.640
of the human spirit.
314
00:14:15.640 --> 00:14:18.040
And your spirit now is crying out
315
00:14:18.040 --> 00:14:22.180
to God in the purest language possible.
316
00:14:22.180 --> 00:14:23.980
It doesn't mean you shouldn't
pray in your own language.
317
00:14:23.980 --> 00:14:27.010
You need to because it develops your mind, it helps you
318
00:14:27.010 --> 00:14:28.450
to know the will of God.
319
00:14:28.450 --> 00:14:30.610
But hey, when you pray in tongues,
320
00:14:30.610 --> 00:14:32.710
other things happen as well.
321
00:14:32.710 --> 00:14:34.510
Now reach for your Bible
322
00:14:34.510 --> 00:14:37.810
and I want you to turn to 1 Corinthians 14,
323
00:14:37.810 --> 00:14:39.760
and we're going to see what else happens when
324
00:14:39.760 --> 00:14:41.170
you pray in tongues.
325
00:14:41.170 --> 00:14:42.730
The question is, what are tongues?
326
00:14:42.730 --> 00:14:44.200
What's it really all about?
327
00:14:44.200 --> 00:14:45.880
Well, I'm gonna give you the answer.
328
00:14:45.880 --> 00:14:49.210
And when you come to 1 Corinthians 14,
329
00:14:49.210 --> 00:14:51.650
the apostle Paul is writing to the Corinthians
330
00:14:51.650 --> 00:14:54.020
and he addresses the issue of tongues.
331
00:14:54.020 --> 00:14:56.750
And when you come to chapter 14
332
00:14:56.750 --> 00:14:58.700
and verse 2, he says - For he
333
00:14:58.700 --> 00:15:01.550
that speaks in an unknown tongue - by the way -
334
00:15:01.550 --> 00:15:03.980
the word speak, the Greek is a form of the Greek word laleo,
335
00:15:03.980 --> 00:15:05.690
which means to converse.
336
00:15:05.690 --> 00:15:08.120
This is a real language.
337
00:15:08.120 --> 00:15:11.060
He that converses in an unknown tongue.
338
00:15:11.060 --> 00:15:12.950
Now if you have a King James Version, notice
339
00:15:12.950 --> 00:15:15.950
that the word unknown is italicized.
340
00:15:15.950 --> 00:15:18.230
That means it was supplied
by the translators.
341
00:15:18.230 --> 00:15:19.670
It's not in the original text.
342
00:15:19.670 --> 00:15:21.830
The idea is it's a language
343
00:15:21.830 --> 00:15:23.900
that is not naturally known to you.
344
00:15:23.900 --> 00:15:27.560
It is a spiritual language -
for he that converses.
345
00:15:27.560 --> 00:15:29.810
It's not just speaking,
it's a real language.
346
00:15:29.810 --> 00:15:32.630
You're carrying on
communication with God for he
347
00:15:32.630 --> 00:15:36.590
that converses in a tongue
speaks not unto men,
348
00:15:36.590 --> 00:15:38.000
but unto God.
349
00:15:38.000 --> 00:15:40.160
So we find that now we're
talking about his spiritual
350
00:15:40.160 --> 00:15:42.230
language or a prayer language.
351
00:15:42.230 --> 00:15:45.350
And then he goes on to say -
for no man understandeth him,
352
00:15:45.350 --> 00:15:48.800
howbeit in the spirit, speaking in the spirit,
353
00:15:48.800 --> 00:15:53.450
praying in tongues, he speaketh mysteries.
354
00:15:55.130 --> 00:15:57.440
Now I have an entire series called The Will of God,
355
00:15:57.440 --> 00:15:58.580
The Key to Your Success.
356
00:15:58.580 --> 00:16:02.540
But in the series I teach
that the moment you got saved
357
00:16:02.540 --> 00:16:06.440
and the Holy Spirit came in,
that's the 1st work of grace.
358
00:16:06.440 --> 00:16:09.260
You were sealed by the
Spirit, you were saved,
359
00:16:09.260 --> 00:16:10.490
you're on the way to heaven.
360
00:16:10.490 --> 00:16:12.950
If you don't ever receive
anything else from God
361
00:16:12.950 --> 00:16:15.680
that seals you, you're born
again, you're going to heaven.
362
00:16:15.680 --> 00:16:17.840
And when the Holy Spirit comes into you,
363
00:16:17.840 --> 00:16:19.550
he brings the mind of God.
364
00:16:19.550 --> 00:16:21.080
He brings the will of God.
365
00:16:21.080 --> 00:16:23.510
He needs every, he has every answer
366
00:16:23.510 --> 00:16:25.790
to every question you will ever ask
367
00:16:25.790 --> 00:16:27.710
because the Holy Spirit knows it all.
368
00:16:27.710 --> 00:16:32.480
He comes in, which means the answers you
369
00:16:32.480 --> 00:16:35.390
need are not floating in
the atmosphere there in you
370
00:16:35.390 --> 00:16:37.250
because the Holy Spirit is in you.
371
00:16:37.250 --> 00:16:40.670
And now we find in this verse that when you begin
372
00:16:40.670 --> 00:16:43.010
to pray in tongues, you literally begin
373
00:16:43.010 --> 00:16:46.550
to release those mysteries
from your spirit: the will
374
00:16:46.550 --> 00:16:48.680
of God, the answers to your question,
375
00:16:48.680 --> 00:16:50.840
when you pray in tongues,
you literally begin
376
00:16:50.840 --> 00:16:52.970
to dredge your human spirit.
377
00:16:52.970 --> 00:16:56.330
And the spirit of God begins
to bring all the answers up
378
00:16:56.330 --> 00:17:00.020
to your mind so that you
gain understanding of
379
00:17:00.020 --> 00:17:02.150
what you need to know.
380
00:17:02.150 --> 00:17:05.090
That also happens when
you pray in tongues.
381
00:17:05.090 --> 00:17:09.860
But wait, look at 1 Corinthians 14:4. He
382
00:17:09.860 --> 00:17:11.750
that speaketh in an unknown tongue
383
00:17:11.750 --> 00:17:13.640
we're talking about a supernatural language -
384
00:17:14.900 --> 00:17:17.990
edifieth himself. What does that mean?
385
00:17:17.990 --> 00:17:19.850
Some people means it means to say it means
386
00:17:19.850 --> 00:17:21.830
to charge up like a battery.
387
00:17:21.830 --> 00:17:24.770
Well, that's nice, but that's
not what the Greek word means.
388
00:17:24.770 --> 00:17:27.740
The Greek word edifieth, means to expand
389
00:17:27.740 --> 00:17:29.930
or to increase capacity.
390
00:17:29.930 --> 00:17:31.820
It is actually an architectural charm
391
00:17:31.820 --> 00:17:33.620
that was used like this.
392
00:17:33.620 --> 00:17:35.390
If you had a building or a house
393
00:17:35.390 --> 00:17:38.570 line:15%
and suddenly it could no longer accommodate everything,
394
00:17:38.570 --> 00:17:42.350 line:15%
you had to expand the house; you had to knock the walls out,
395
00:17:42.350 --> 00:17:45.410 line:15%
you had to push them out
to make their room bigger,
396
00:17:45.410 --> 00:17:48.650 line:15%
to increase the ability to accommodate more.
397
00:17:48.650 --> 00:17:50.190 line:15%
And now Paul uses that word
398
00:17:50.190 --> 00:17:54.270 line:15%
and says that when you pray in tongues,
399
00:17:54.270 --> 00:17:56.970 line:15%
you're literally pushing your borders out;
400
00:17:56.970 --> 00:17:59.550 line:15%
you're increasing your spiritual capacity
401
00:17:59.550 --> 00:18:03.630 line:15%
so you can receive more and more and more and more and more.
402
00:18:03.630 --> 00:18:05.010 line:15%
And for me, this is very important
403
00:18:05.010 --> 00:18:06.570
because when I study the Bible
404
00:18:06.570 --> 00:18:10.140
or when I prepare, when I'm
seeking truth from the Lord
405
00:18:10.140 --> 00:18:12.720
and I don't just seem to
understand what I'm studying,
406
00:18:12.720 --> 00:18:14.100
I begin to pray in tongues
407
00:18:14.100 --> 00:18:17.670
and I can literally feel
my capacity increasing
408
00:18:17.670 --> 00:18:19.890
to receive more divine revelation.
409
00:18:19.890 --> 00:18:22.290
And that also happens when you pray in tongues;
410
00:18:22.290 --> 00:18:25.620
you increase your spiritual capacity.
411
00:18:25.620 --> 00:18:28.530
But wait, there's one more thing very clear in 1
412
00:18:28.530 --> 00:18:30.570
Corinthians 14.
413
00:18:30.570 --> 00:18:33.870
Look at this if you would in verse 14:
414
00:18:33.870 --> 00:18:36.480
for if I pray in an unknown tongue - notice he
415
00:18:36.480 --> 00:18:37.770
uses the word, pray.
416
00:18:37.770 --> 00:18:41.220
This is your human spirit speaking to God -
417
00:18:41.220 --> 00:18:44.340
for if I pray in an unknown tongue - then Paul clearly says
418
00:18:44.340 --> 00:18:48.600
my spirit prayeth - my spirit prayeth
419
00:18:48.600 --> 00:18:51.420
but my understanding, my mind is unfruitful.
420
00:18:51.420 --> 00:18:52.830
And then he adds in
421
00:18:52.830 --> 00:18:56.460
verse 15: What is it then? I
will pray with my spirit
422
00:18:56.460 --> 00:18:59.400
and I will pray with my understanding also.
423
00:18:59.400 --> 00:19:01.560
So there's a difference.
You can pray in your spirits
424
00:19:01.560 --> 00:19:04.350
language and you can pray
in your natural language.
425
00:19:04.350 --> 00:19:07.800
And then he adds, I will
sing with the spirit
426
00:19:07.800 --> 00:19:10.800
and I will sing with
the understanding also,
427
00:19:10.800 --> 00:19:12.630
which means you can sing in tongues,
428
00:19:12.630 --> 00:19:14.880
you can sing in your own natural language.
429
00:19:14.880 --> 00:19:16.950
And then in the next verse he says - Else
430
00:19:16.950 --> 00:19:19.020
when thou shalt bless with the spirit,
431
00:19:19.020 --> 00:19:21.450
which means when your praying in tongues,
432
00:19:21.450 --> 00:19:24.180
you're also blessing God in you're giving
433
00:19:24.180 --> 00:19:28.380
thanks well. It is also one of the highest levels
434
00:19:28.380 --> 00:19:30.030
of praise and worship.
435
00:19:30.030 --> 00:19:34.170
And then when you come to 1 Corinthians 14:18,
436
00:19:34.170 --> 00:19:36.030
the Apostle Paul says - I thank God
437
00:19:36.030 --> 00:19:39.120
that I speak in tongues more than you all.
438
00:19:40.200 --> 00:19:43.680
Well, hey - if the apostle Paul needed to speak in tongues,
439
00:19:43.680 --> 00:19:46.950
then I need to speak in tongues and look at it.
440
00:19:46.950 --> 00:19:49.290
He wrote more revelation in the New Testament
441
00:19:49.290 --> 00:19:50.700
than anybody else.
442
00:19:50.700 --> 00:19:54.090
I wonder if that was connected
to him praying in tongues.
443
00:19:54.090 --> 00:19:55.740
He already said that when you pray in tongues,
444
00:19:55.740 --> 00:19:57.690
you increase your spiritual capacity.
445
00:19:57.690 --> 00:19:59.670
And he also said he prayed in tongues more
446
00:19:59.670 --> 00:20:00.930
than anybody else.
447
00:20:00.930 --> 00:20:03.000
And by praying in tongues
and praying in tongues
448
00:20:03.000 --> 00:20:06.000
and praying in tongues,
he increased his ability
449
00:20:06.000 --> 00:20:08.640
to receive more and
more and more revelation
450
00:20:08.640 --> 00:20:09.870
and divine insight
451
00:20:09.870 --> 00:20:13.920 line:15%
and that's why we have more revelation from Paul than from
452
00:20:13.920 --> 00:20:15.660 line:15%
anybody else.
453
00:20:15.660 --> 00:20:18.780 line:15%
Wow! So now you know praying
454
00:20:18.780 --> 00:20:20.550 line:15%
and tongues is not just gibberish,
455
00:20:20.550 --> 00:20:25.550 line:15%
it is your human spirit
communicating, praying to God.
456
00:20:25.650 --> 00:20:29.430 line:15%
And the tongue of your spirit
is loose when you receive the
457
00:20:29.430 --> 00:20:31.020 line:15%
2nd work of grace,
458
00:20:31.020 --> 00:20:33.360 line:15%
which I call the baptism in the Holy Spirit
459
00:20:33.360 --> 00:20:36.030 line:15%
and my friends, if you've never received the baptism in the
460
00:20:36.030 --> 00:20:38.310 line:15%
Holy Spirit, you call us right now
461
00:20:38.310 --> 00:20:41.250 line:15%
because today is your day.
462
00:20:41.250 --> 00:20:42.780
But I'll be back in just a moment.
463
00:20:51.160 --> 00:20:53.770 line:15%
Did Apostle Paul really pray
in tongues more than the
464
00:20:53.770 --> 00:20:55.450 line:15%
entire Corinthian church?
465
00:20:55.450 --> 00:20:56.860 line:15%
He sure did.
466
00:20:56.860 --> 00:21:01.060 line:15%
And he tells us that in Corinthians 14:18,
467
00:21:01.060 --> 00:21:02.770 line:15%
where he says, I thank my God
468
00:21:02.770 --> 00:21:05.800
that I pray in tongues more than you all.
469
00:21:05.800 --> 00:21:09.520
And in Greek it is comparative
comparatively more.
470
00:21:09.520 --> 00:21:12.790
It means cumulatively if
I put all of you together
471
00:21:12.790 --> 00:21:14.410
and all the tongue talking that you do,
472
00:21:14.410 --> 00:21:18.130
I pray in tongues more
than all of you combined.
473
00:21:19.000 --> 00:21:22.690
Now the reason is why did
he pray in tongues so much?
474
00:21:22.690 --> 00:21:26.530
And the answer is in 1 Corinthians 14:4 which says,
475
00:21:26.530 --> 00:21:29.560
He that prayeth in an unknown tongue edifies himself.
476
00:21:29.560 --> 00:21:32.590
And that word edify is an architectural term
477
00:21:32.590 --> 00:21:33.730
which means to expand.
478
00:21:33.730 --> 00:21:35.560
It's like if you wanted
to make your house bigger,
479
00:21:35.560 --> 00:21:39.940
you gotta knock the walls out
in order to expand your house.
480
00:21:39.940 --> 00:21:42.640
And Paul said, when I
pray in tongues, I begin
481
00:21:42.640 --> 00:21:44.200
to move the walls out.
482
00:21:44.200 --> 00:21:46.870
I expand my spiritual capacity
483
00:21:46.870 --> 00:21:49.660
to receive more divine revelation.
484
00:21:49.660 --> 00:21:52.570
And that explains why Paul wrote more
485
00:21:52.570 --> 00:21:54.550
of the New Testament than anyone else.
486
00:21:54.550 --> 00:21:56.320
Every time he prayed in tongues,
487
00:21:56.320 --> 00:21:59.470
he was increasing his spiritual capacity
488
00:21:59.470 --> 00:22:01.510
to receive more revelation.
489
00:22:02.440 --> 00:22:04.090
If you do not speak in tongues
490
00:22:04.090 --> 00:22:05.950 line:15%

00:23:08.980 --> 00:23:11.290 line:15%

521
00:23:34.780 --> 00:23:36.040
Hey, this is Rick Renner
522
00:23:36.040 --> 00:23:39.610
and I'm standing outside
our ministry headquarters in
523
00:23:39.610 --> 00:23:41.110
Tulsa, Oklahoma.
524
00:23:41.110 --> 00:23:43.810
Look at it. It's just so wonderful.
525
00:23:43.810 --> 00:23:47.180
And from this location, we are ministering
526
00:23:47.180 --> 00:23:50.360 line:15%
to people all over the world.
527
00:23:50.360 --> 00:23:53.960 line:15%
We have thousands and
thousands of phone calls,
528
00:23:53.960 --> 00:23:57.470 line:15%
and I'm not exaggerating
from every single part
529
00:23:57.470 --> 00:24:00.170
of the planet, from people that are watching us on all kinds
530
00:24:00.170 --> 00:24:03.500
of social media or television,
so many different kinds
531
00:24:03.500 --> 00:24:05.000
of platforms.
532
00:24:05.000 --> 00:24:07.790
And from here, we're sending our programs
533
00:24:07.790 --> 00:24:09.530
to the ends of the earth.
534
00:24:09.530 --> 00:24:11.270
And that's our assignment.
535
00:24:11.270 --> 00:24:15.440 line:15%
Proverbs 10:21 says, The lips
of the righteous feed many.
536
00:24:15.440 --> 00:24:18.170 line:15%
That's our job to feed many
the wonderful word of God.
537
00:24:18.170 --> 00:24:21.230
And you're a big part of a
that because you're a friend
538
00:24:21.230 --> 00:24:22.820
and you are a partner.
539
00:24:22.820 --> 00:24:26.270 line:15%
And right now we have a goal
to pay off this facility.
540
00:24:26.270 --> 00:24:29.960 line:15%
And guess what? We're already at 88% of our goal:
541
00:24:29.960 --> 00:24:31.310 line:15%
88%.
542
00:24:31.310 --> 00:24:34.100 line:15%
We're almost there. Week by week
543
00:24:34.100 --> 00:24:37.070 line:15%
we're just inching further and further toward completion.
544
00:24:37.070 --> 00:24:41.150 line:15%
And when we're finished, it's
gonna release so many finances
545
00:24:41.150 --> 00:24:43.040 line:15%
to help us take the teaching of the Bible
546
00:24:43.040 --> 00:24:45.320 line:15%
to the ends of the earth.
547
00:24:45.320 --> 00:24:46.460 line:15%
And I want to say "thank you"
548
00:24:46.460 --> 00:24:47.960 line:15%
for being a part of our Giving Team.
549
00:24:47.960 --> 00:24:50.960 line:15%
And if you're not yet a part of our Giving Team,
550
00:24:50.960 --> 00:24:53.060 line:15%
I'm asking you to please join us,
551
00:24:53.060 --> 00:24:55.280 line:15%
to help us retire the
dead on this facility
552
00:24:55.280 --> 00:24:57.440 line:15%
so we can obey the great commission
553
00:24:57.440 --> 00:24:59.300 line:15%
and take the teaching of the Bible
554
00:24:59.300 --> 00:25:01.940 line:15%
and the words of Jesus to the ends of the earth.
555
00:25:09.860 --> 00:25:11.960
Well, today we've been looking at tongues.
556
00:25:11.960 --> 00:25:13.910
What is it really all about?
557
00:25:13.910 --> 00:25:18.110
And I hope this program has answered some questions for you,
558
00:25:18.110 --> 00:25:20.240 line:15%
but I want you to order the entire series,
559
00:25:20.240 --> 00:25:22.670 line:15%
which is called, Speaking in Tongues:
560
00:25:22.670 --> 00:25:26.330 line:15%
What is it? And is it really for everyone?
561
00:25:26.330 --> 00:25:27.890 line:15%
The answer is yes.
562
00:25:27.890 --> 00:25:30.470 line:15%
And my friends, you're not a
2nd class Christian if you
563
00:25:30.470 --> 00:25:31.880 line:15%
don't speak in tongues,
564
00:25:31.880 --> 00:25:34.280 line:15%
but you're missing something
that God has for you.
565
00:25:34.280 --> 00:25:37.520 line:15%
Your inner man is just
crying out to speak to God.
566
00:25:37.520 --> 00:25:39.230 line:15%
And when you receive the baptism
567
00:25:39.230 --> 00:25:40.790 line:15%
and the Holy Spirit, suddenly the tongue
568
00:25:40.790 --> 00:25:43.730 line:15%
of your spirit is released
so that you can communicate
569
00:25:43.730 --> 00:25:45.290 line:15%
to God in a heavenly language.
570
00:25:45.290 --> 00:25:46.370 line:15%
Ah, call us
571
00:25:46.370 --> 00:25:48.345 line:15%
and we'll pray with you to receive
572
00:25:48.345 --> 00:25:49.853 line:15%
the baptism in the Holy Spirit.
573
00:25:49.853 --> 00:25:52.790 line:15%
But you can order this and
you can order the study guide.
574
00:25:52.790 --> 00:25:55.700 line:15%
And we're also offering
you two amazing books
575
00:25:55.700 --> 00:25:56.720 line:15%
about the Holy Spirit.
576
00:25:56.720 --> 00:25:59.600 line:15%
One is called the Holy Spirit
And You working together
577
00:25:59.600 --> 00:26:01.580 line:15%
as Heaven's Dynamic Duo.
578
00:26:01.580 --> 00:26:05.690 line:15%
And we're also offering you
the book Why We Need The Gifts
579
00:26:05.690 --> 00:26:07.220 line:15%
of the Holy Spirit.
580
00:26:07.220 --> 00:26:09.950 line:15%
But I want you to put your
hand on your heart right now.
581
00:26:09.950 --> 00:26:12.380 line:15%
If you've never received the
baptism in the Holy Spirit,
582
00:26:12.380 --> 00:26:13.730 line:15%
you can receive it now.
583
00:26:13.730 --> 00:26:14.780
And if you already have
584
00:26:14.780 --> 00:26:17.420 line:15%
but you've not been speaking
in tongues, my friends,
585
00:26:17.420 --> 00:26:18.650 line:15%
it's time to get with it
586
00:26:18.650 --> 00:26:22.040 line:15%
and begin speaking to God
in your heavenly language.
587
00:26:22.040 --> 00:26:25.700 line:15%
Father, we thank you in the name of Jesus that you save us,
588
00:26:25.700 --> 00:26:28.310 line:15%
and then you baptize us in the Holy Spirit
589
00:26:28.310 --> 00:26:31.130 line:15%
and you loose our tongue so we can speak
590
00:26:31.130 --> 00:26:33.560 line:15%
to you freely in a heavenly language.
591
00:26:33.560 --> 00:26:35.900 line:15%
In Jesus' name - Amen.
592
00:26:36.800 --> 00:26:38.420 line:15%
Well, I see you in the next program,
593
00:26:38.420 --> 00:26:41.390
but remember Ecclesiastes 8:4, "Where the word
594
00:26:41.390 --> 00:26:44.640
of a king is there power."
595
00:26:44.640 --> 00:26:46.920 line:15%
If you've never received Jesus as your Savior
596
00:26:46.920 --> 00:26:51.300 line:15%
and Lord, now is the time for you to experience a new life
597
00:26:51.300 --> 00:26:53.460 line:15%
Jesus has to give you.
598
00:26:53.460 --> 00:26:58.050 line:15%
Pray this prayer with me right now - Lord, I repent
599
00:26:58.050 --> 00:27:01.560 line:15%
of my sin and receive you as my Savior
600
00:27:01.560 --> 00:27:04.500 line:15%
and Lord. Wash away my sin
601
00:27:04.500 --> 00:27:07.530 line:15%
and make me completely new.
602
00:27:07.530 --> 00:27:11.400
I thank you that my sin is removed
603
00:27:11.400 --> 00:27:16.400 line:15%
and Satan no longer has any
right to lay claim on me.
604
00:27:16.860 --> 00:27:20.850
I faithfully promise that
I will serve you as my Lord
605
00:27:20.850 --> 00:27:22.560
for the rest of my life -
606
00:27:23.460 --> 00:27:24.460
Amen.
607
00:27:27.360 --> 00:27:30.180
If you just prayed the prayer of salvation with us,
608
00:27:30.180 --> 00:27:32.130
would you please let us know by going
