00:00:01.400 --> 00:00:04.080
This program is made
possible by the giving
2
00:00:04.080 --> 00:00:07.360
of the God-called partners
of Renner Ministries.
3
00:00:08.240 --> 00:00:11.440
Get ready for a teaching
that feeds your spirit
4
00:00:11.440 --> 00:00:14.960
and your mind, where the
word is the anchor in
5
00:00:14.960 --> 00:00:16.080
uncertain times
6
00:00:16.960 --> 00:00:19.360
and doctrine doesn't bend to culture.
7
00:00:20.240 --> 00:00:21.660
We keep it simple,
8
00:00:21.660 --> 00:00:26.060
but dive deep, revealing a
truth that strengthens us,
9
00:00:27.120 --> 00:00:28.860
a love that emboldens,
10
00:00:30.160 --> 00:00:32.220
and a mission that touches the world.
11
00:00:34.640 --> 00:00:36.040
Let's join Rick Renner.
12
00:00:38.760 --> 00:00:40.360
Welcome to today's program.
13
00:00:40.360 --> 00:00:43.000
I'm Rick Renner, and I
want to say thank you
14
00:00:43.000 --> 00:00:45.820
for letting me come
right to where you are.
15
00:00:45.820 --> 00:00:49.500
And today, we have Pastor
Bob Yandian with us.
16
00:00:49.500 --> 00:00:50.740
Pastor Bob, thanks for being here.
17
00:00:50.740 --> 00:00:53.020
Thank you. This is volume No.2.
18
00:00:53.020 --> 00:00:56.060
And we're talking about his
book, which is called The Day
19
00:00:56.060 --> 00:00:58.620
of the Lord and I Wrote
the Forward to this book.
20
00:00:58.620 --> 00:00:59.800
I didn't say why it was an honor
21
00:00:59.800 --> 00:01:01.180
for me to write this forward.
22
00:01:01.180 --> 00:01:02.920
Well, go right ahead. - You wrote the 1st
23
00:01:02.920 --> 00:01:04.620
Foreward for my 1st book.
24
00:01:04.620 --> 00:01:06.500
That's right. I had forgotten about that.
25
00:01:06.500 --> 00:01:08.680
And when you asked me to write this forward, it was like -
26
00:01:08.680 --> 00:01:10.360
Wow, what an honor
27
00:01:10.360 --> 00:01:13.000
that I could write a forward for Pastor Bob.
28
00:01:13.000 --> 00:01:14.960
But this book is amazing.
29
00:01:14.960 --> 00:01:19.020
It really fed me and it answered a lot of questions for me.
30
00:01:19.020 --> 00:01:20.980
And the subtitle says, What the Book
31
00:01:20.980 --> 00:01:23.700
of Joel Reveals About the Last Days
32
00:01:23.700 --> 00:01:25.300
and the Outpouring of the Spirit.
33
00:01:25.300 --> 00:01:27.120
And today we're going to be
talking about the outpouring
34
00:01:27.120 --> 00:01:29.880
of the Holy Spirit, which is
going to occur at the very end
35
00:01:29.880 --> 00:01:31.680
of the age and all the way into the
36
00:01:31.680 --> 00:01:33.720
millennial reign of Jesus.
37
00:01:33.720 --> 00:01:36.060
But this book is amazing, and this week he
38
00:01:36.060 --> 00:01:39.661
and I together are doing a
series on the Book of Joel
39
00:01:39.661 --> 00:01:41.021
and about the outpouring
40
00:01:41.021 --> 00:01:43.481
of the Holy Spirit in the last days.
41
00:01:43.481 --> 00:01:45.521
And if you'd like to know
how to get these resources,
42
00:01:45.521 --> 00:01:48.441
just go online or give
us a call to find out
43
00:01:48.441 --> 00:01:52.201
how you can get yours and let
us know how to pray for you.
44
00:01:52.201 --> 00:01:55.081
The Bible tells us in 1 John 5:14
45
00:01:55.081 --> 00:01:59.541
and 15, If we pray anything
according to God's will,
46
00:01:59.541 --> 00:02:02.581
he hears us. That means
God doesn't just hear us
47
00:02:02.581 --> 00:02:06.821
because of our much asking
or our crying or our emotion.
48
00:02:06.821 --> 00:02:08.181
God listens for his word.
49
00:02:09.061 --> 00:02:12.461
And when God hears his
word, his ears open.
50
00:02:12.461 --> 00:02:14.761
So you got to pray according to his will.
51
00:02:14.761 --> 00:02:16.701
And the Bible says if you
pray anything according
52
00:02:16.701 --> 00:02:18.821
to his will, he hears us.
53
00:02:18.821 --> 00:02:22.121
Then we have the petitions
that we request of him.
54
00:02:22.121 --> 00:02:23.221
So if you'll reach out to us,
55
00:02:23.221 --> 00:02:25.261
we'll pray with you scripturally.
56
00:02:25.261 --> 00:02:28.101
God will hear us and
Jesus will do what needs
57
00:02:28.101 --> 00:02:29.641
to be done in your life.
58
00:02:29.641 --> 00:02:32.961
Just call the number on the
screen or send us an email.
59
00:02:32.961 --> 00:02:35.741
But Pastor Bob, I want us
to go back a little bit more
60
00:02:35.741 --> 00:02:37.021
to Joel 1
61
00:02:37.021 --> 00:02:40.181
where you cover something very, very important.
62
00:02:40.181 --> 00:02:43.981
And you write in this book that in Joel 1,
63
00:02:43.981 --> 00:02:45.521
God is very clear
64
00:02:45.521 --> 00:02:48.321
that the reason their
troubles came upon them is
65
00:02:48.321 --> 00:02:51.441
because they became selfish
and self-indulgent. Is that
66
00:02:51.441 --> 00:02:52.441
Correct?
67
00:02:52.441 --> 00:02:53.274
That's exactly what it
68
00:02:53.274 --> 00:02:54.021
Is. Tell me about that.
69
00:02:54.021 --> 00:02:55.381
Well, you begin to find out
70
00:02:55.381 --> 00:02:59.561
that they backed off from
church attendance going to the
71
00:02:59.561 --> 00:03:03.381
temple and the tabernacle,
and they were not doing that
72
00:03:03.381 --> 00:03:06.481
and they were not in their
daily lives submitted to God.
73
00:03:06.481 --> 00:03:08.861
And everything that they were
doing was for more money.
74
00:03:08.861 --> 00:03:12.421
And in other words, they, to
them, things became important.
75
00:03:12.421 --> 00:03:14.461
And it's always been that way.
That's the downfall of Satan.
76
00:03:15.641 --> 00:03:17.622
Every precious stone was
your covering, all that.
77
00:03:17.622 --> 00:03:21.462
And it's the root of all evil
just seeking after money.
78
00:03:21.462 --> 00:03:23.522
And that's what happened.
But it caused them
79
00:03:23.522 --> 00:03:26.322
to get their dependence
on money and not on God
80
00:03:26.322 --> 00:03:28.162
and that I can buy my way out of this.
81
00:03:28.162 --> 00:03:29.482
And so that's what opened up.
82
00:03:29.482 --> 00:03:30.882
And so God asked them to repent.
83
00:03:30.882 --> 00:03:33.102
He mentioned 4-things he wanted them to do.
84
00:03:33.102 --> 00:03:35.782
No.1 - was pray. Start by hitting your knees.
85
00:03:35.782 --> 00:03:37.122
When's the last time you really prayed?
86
00:03:37.122 --> 00:03:39.382
And maybe people are out
there watching right now
87
00:03:39.382 --> 00:03:41.562
that honestly, what's
been going on in their
88
00:03:41.562 --> 00:03:42.942
life was really their fault.
89
00:03:42.942 --> 00:03:45.362
And they start blaming all this stuff.
90
00:03:45.362 --> 00:03:48.022
It's the nation, it's the government, it's all these other
91
00:03:48.022 --> 00:03:49.022
things.
92
00:03:49.022 --> 00:03:49.855
Maybe even blaming the devil.
93
00:03:49.855 --> 00:03:51.522
Yeah, blaming the
devil for it was really
94
00:03:51.522 --> 00:03:52.742
they're the ones that started.
95
00:03:52.742 --> 00:03:54.362
So he said the first thing is pray.
96
00:03:54.362 --> 00:03:56.202
In other words, when's the
last time you heard from God?
97
00:03:56.202 --> 00:03:58.182
Prayer isn't just one way
where you pray to him.
98
00:03:58.182 --> 00:04:00.782
He answers you. And if you
only open up your heart,
99
00:04:00.782 --> 00:04:02.342
he'll show you what they're doing.
100
00:04:02.342 --> 00:04:04.562
Next of all was take off your old clothes
101
00:04:04.562 --> 00:04:06.122
and put on sackcloth.
102
00:04:06.122 --> 00:04:08.342
In other words, quit looking at yourself
103
00:04:08.342 --> 00:04:10.302
and look in the mirror and
being proud of yourself.
104
00:04:10.302 --> 00:04:11.482
Look at the mirror and find out what you
105
00:04:11.482 --> 00:04:12.902
really are underneath.
106
00:04:12.902 --> 00:04:14.802
Underneath, you're a loss sinner.
107
00:04:14.802 --> 00:04:17.182
Underneath it, I mean, you really have nothing to offer God.
108
00:04:17.182 --> 00:04:19.402
Everything was him offering everything to you.
109
00:04:19.402 --> 00:04:20.802
And it comes back to the grace of God
110
00:04:20.802 --> 00:04:22.922
and the uselessness of our flesh.
111
00:04:22.922 --> 00:04:26.502
And so the third thing he told
them to do was call a fast
112
00:04:26.502 --> 00:04:30.482
and come back to just
eating the basics of life
113
00:04:30.482 --> 00:04:32.202
and just enough to keep yourself alive to
114
00:04:32.202 --> 00:04:34.722
where you really pour out
your heart before God.
115
00:04:34.722 --> 00:04:39.462
And then he said, You have
used your prosperity to feed,
116
00:04:39.462 --> 00:04:41.422
clothe, and indulge yourself.
117
00:04:41.422 --> 00:04:43.162
It's time to find out there's
other people out there
118
00:04:43.162 --> 00:04:45.262
that need the treasures
that you have. And
119
00:04:45.262 --> 00:04:46.302
I'm not against prosperity.
120
00:04:46.302 --> 00:04:48.922
I love prosperity, but
prosperity is not meant for us
121
00:04:48.922 --> 00:04:49.982
to spend on ourselves.
122
00:04:49.982 --> 00:04:52.142
It's for the spreading of the gospel.
123
00:04:52.142 --> 00:04:54.742
God says it's he that gives you power to get wealth in order
124
00:04:54.742 --> 00:04:57.463
that his covenant can be established in the earth.
125
00:04:57.463 --> 00:04:59.963
And when you have an abundance
of money, it's so easy
126
00:04:59.963 --> 00:05:02.203
to slip over into this thing
that you can buy your way out
127
00:05:02.203 --> 00:05:05.183
of every situation when you
need God just as much now
128
00:05:05.183 --> 00:05:07.183
as you needed him when
you got firstborn again.
129
00:05:07.183 --> 00:05:09.203
Well, money has wings.
Yes.
130
00:05:09.203 --> 00:05:11.243
And if you trust in money,
you're in trouble. That's true.
131
00:05:11.243 --> 00:05:13.643
That's true. So Pastor Bob,
you write about the difference
132
00:05:13.643 --> 00:05:15.723
between remorse and repentance,
133
00:05:15.723 --> 00:05:17.843
and what you write is so very important.
134
00:05:17.843 --> 00:05:21.123
When I was growing up, I got saved when I was 5-years old
135
00:05:21.123 --> 00:05:22.583
and I really got saved.
136
00:05:22.583 --> 00:05:24.303
Me too.
But I immediately began
137
00:05:24.303 --> 00:05:26.303
to question my salvation
138
00:05:26.303 --> 00:05:29.383
because when other people
came forward, they wept
139
00:05:29.383 --> 00:05:31.183
and they cried and they carried on.
140
00:05:31.183 --> 00:05:32.923
But I noticed, because
I grew up in church,
141
00:05:32.923 --> 00:05:34.703
you know when you grow up in
church, you notice things.
142
00:05:35.563 --> 00:05:37.963
And I noticed a lot of those
people emptied a whole box
143
00:05:37.963 --> 00:05:39.763
of Kleenex in the altar.
144
00:05:39.763 --> 00:05:41.503
It was very dramatic, but they
145
00:05:41.503 --> 00:05:43.083
didn't even come back to church.
146
00:05:43.083 --> 00:05:45.443
It was a real emotional moment.
147
00:05:45.443 --> 00:05:48.203
It really wasn't
repentance, it was remorse.
148
00:05:48.203 --> 00:05:51.583
There's a difference between
repentance and remorse.
149
00:05:51.583 --> 00:05:55.223
And certainly remorse can
be a part of repentance,
150
00:05:55.223 --> 00:05:56.783
but it's not required for repentance.
151
00:05:56.783 --> 00:05:59.283
No. - A lot of people have so much emotion
152
00:05:59.283 --> 00:06:01.103
that they never really repent.
153
00:06:01.103 --> 00:06:02.763
So what does it mean to repent?
154
00:06:02.763 --> 00:06:04.563
It means it actually comes
from the inside of you.
155
00:06:04.563 --> 00:06:06.703
You really see what a wretch you are.
156
00:06:06.703 --> 00:06:08.903
And without Jesus Christ, you're nothing.
157
00:06:08.903 --> 00:06:10.803
And now he's turning
around offering everything
158
00:06:10.803 --> 00:06:12.923
to you and it's his grace.
159
00:06:12.923 --> 00:06:14.463
I talk about the thief on the cross
160
00:06:14.463 --> 00:06:15.803
and Jesus said, Today you'll be
161
00:06:15.803 --> 00:06:18.343
with me in paradise.
This guy was a murderer.
162
00:06:18.343 --> 00:06:21.123
Never done one decent thing
in his life, probably got into
163
00:06:21.123 --> 00:06:23.223
stealing things when he was
in high school, joined a gang,
164
00:06:23.223 --> 00:06:25.143
and from the gang he got
into organized crime.
165
00:06:25.143 --> 00:06:29.323
And he's one of those two,
the two out that were arrested
166
00:06:29.323 --> 00:06:32.843
that Jesus used when he said
there was thieves on the road
167
00:06:32.843 --> 00:06:34.403
that stole from the man
168
00:06:34.403 --> 00:06:36.704
and left him departed
half dead and all that.
169
00:06:36.704 --> 00:06:38.744
The good Samaritan came and picked him up.
170
00:06:38.744 --> 00:06:42.164
But what it's really coming back to is this is what you are.
171
00:06:42.164 --> 00:06:44.264
And when he repented, God
said, Today you'll be
172
00:06:44.264 --> 00:06:46.844
with me in paradise. Imagine taking
173
00:06:46.844 --> 00:06:50.164
a convicted murderer who's
been in his life all the time
174
00:06:50.164 --> 00:06:53.104
and minutes away from him
dying, you say, I'm going
175
00:06:53.104 --> 00:06:55.764
to give you a condo in Orlando Beach
176
00:06:55.764 --> 00:06:57.344
and you're just going to live
the rest of your life there
177
00:06:57.344 --> 00:07:00.964
and just enjoy yourself.
What a ministry on grace
178
00:07:00.964 --> 00:07:02.784
that we have at that time.
179
00:07:02.784 --> 00:07:05.504
And that's really where
it all comes back to.
180
00:07:05.504 --> 00:07:07.244
It's all God's goodness
and we need to come back
181
00:07:07.244 --> 00:07:08.964
to realize no matter how
good we are in ourselves,
182
00:07:08.964 --> 00:07:10.284
we're never better than God.
183
00:07:10.284 --> 00:07:12.044
The word repent really
means to change your mind.
184
00:07:12.044 --> 00:07:14.924
That's right. - When our boys were young, we wanted them
185
00:07:14.924 --> 00:07:17.791
to understand what was repentance.
186
00:07:17.791 --> 00:07:21.164
So rather than say change
your behavior when they were
187
00:07:21.164 --> 00:07:22.344
young, we would say, You need
188
00:07:22.344 --> 00:07:25.144
to repent. And they
understood that meant I
189
00:07:25.144 --> 00:07:27.184
better change my behavior.
190
00:07:27.184 --> 00:07:30.624
And Joel was the youngest of
the three and Joel would weep
191
00:07:30.624 --> 00:07:31.984
and wail and carry on.
192
00:07:31.984 --> 00:07:35.044
I'd say, Joel, just cut it
out. I'm not asking you to cry.
193
00:07:35.044 --> 00:07:37.904
I'm telling you to change your behavior.
194
00:07:38.924 --> 00:07:42.844
And he finally got it. And
when you repent, you can cry,
195
00:07:42.844 --> 00:07:44.544
tears can come with repentance,
196
00:07:44.544 --> 00:07:47.164
but they're not required for repentance.
197
00:07:47.164 --> 00:07:50.884
Repentance is really coming
to grips with the facts about
198
00:07:50.884 --> 00:07:52.624
what needs to change
199
00:07:52.624 --> 00:07:55.564
and saying, okay, Lord,
I'm embracing this.
200
00:07:55.564 --> 00:07:58.464
I'm going to make a
decision to do different.
201
00:07:58.464 --> 00:08:00.584
That's really what repentance is.
202
00:08:00.584 --> 00:08:01.604
So I just wanted to cover that
203
00:08:01.604 --> 00:08:03.384
because I think people
need to know the difference
204
00:08:03.384 --> 00:08:05.164
between remorse and repent.
205
00:08:05.164 --> 00:08:06.764
You can cover, go ahead.
The two different Greek
206
00:08:06.764 --> 00:08:08.424
words. Well, the
207
00:08:08.424 --> 00:08:09.464
Other one's metamelomai.
208
00:08:09.464 --> 00:08:11.524
It's
Just emotional.
209
00:08:11.524 --> 00:08:12.805
That's what Judas is scary to have.
210
00:08:12.805 --> 00:08:15.084
Yeah, that's right. - The King James version says he
211
00:08:15.084 --> 00:08:16.185
repented for what he did,
212
00:08:16.185 --> 00:08:18.785
but metamelomai really means he just felt sorry.
213
00:08:18.785 --> 00:08:21.505
He was just gripped with remorse.
214
00:08:21.505 --> 00:08:23.845
And sometimes you're so
emotional about what you've done
215
00:08:23.845 --> 00:08:26.145
that you're not able to
really make a decision,
216
00:08:26.145 --> 00:08:28.265
but repentance really is a decision.
217
00:08:28.265 --> 00:08:30.725
Okay, I see it. I understand it.
218
00:08:30.725 --> 00:08:32.805
Yes, I acknowledge I need to change
219
00:08:32.805 --> 00:08:35.285
and I'm going to go a different direction.
220
00:08:36.305 --> 00:08:40.805
You can repent even without
emotion. It is a decision.
221
00:08:40.805 --> 00:08:43.165
But Pastor Bob, in chapter 2, you also talk
222
00:08:44.045 --> 00:08:46.225
about the outpouring of the Holy Spirit.
223
00:08:46.225 --> 00:08:48.865
But when we look at the
scripture, it's very clear
224
00:08:48.865 --> 00:08:51.445
that at the end of the age that we're living in right now,
225
00:08:51.445 --> 00:08:53.945
two things are going to be
happening simultaneously.
226
00:08:53.945 --> 00:08:56.525
Yes. There's going to be
an outpouring of the spirit
227
00:08:56.525 --> 00:08:59.985
and there's also going to be
a departure from the faith.
228
00:08:59.985 --> 00:09:01.265
And we are really seeing both
229
00:09:01.265 --> 00:09:03.545
of these happening at the same time.
230
00:09:03.545 --> 00:09:05.365
And as charismatic believers, we tend
231
00:09:05.365 --> 00:09:07.985
to talk more about the
outpouring of the Holy Spirit.
232
00:09:07.985 --> 00:09:10.485
But the truth is in the New
Testament, there's a lot
233
00:09:10.485 --> 00:09:13.505
of talking about seducing
spirits and doctrines of
234
00:09:13.505 --> 00:09:14.785
Demons at the end of the age.
235
00:09:14.785 --> 00:09:16.625
Exactly. And Pastor Bob, we're seeing both
236
00:09:16.625 --> 00:09:18.405
of these things happening right now.
237
00:09:18.405 --> 00:09:21.605
Yeah, I know. And yes, that's what he was bringing out
238
00:09:21.605 --> 00:09:24.905
to them in chapter 2 is that great thing about the...
239
00:09:24.905 --> 00:09:27.505
It starts in the heart.
Basically rip your hearts out.
240
00:09:27.505 --> 00:09:29.585
Basically saying examine
everything inside of you.
241
00:09:30.445 --> 00:09:33.225
All this repentance that we have at the end of chapter 1,
242
00:09:33.225 --> 00:09:36.905
again about change your
clothes, do all this stuff,
243
00:09:36.905 --> 00:09:39.885
make everything in front of
you understand everything
244
00:09:39.885 --> 00:09:41.145
that comes up in front of you not
245
00:09:41.145 --> 00:09:42.645
to lead you back the old way
246
00:09:42.645 --> 00:09:44.405
because they departed from the word
247
00:09:44.405 --> 00:09:46.845
and they departed from
even where they came from.
248
00:09:46.845 --> 00:09:48.245
The Bible's filled with things of stop
249
00:09:48.245 --> 00:09:49.285
and remember where you've come
250
00:09:49.285 --> 00:09:51.205
from because we don't do that.
251
00:09:51.205 --> 00:09:52.806
It's like we want to just
obliterate past, Man,
252
00:09:52.806 --> 00:09:53.926
I had no money.
253
00:09:53.926 --> 00:09:56.386
I had no income. I had no popularity.
254
00:09:56.386 --> 00:09:58.586
Now look at what I've got. Well, you didn't purchase that.
255
00:09:58.586 --> 00:09:59.826
You didn't do that yourself.
256
00:09:59.826 --> 00:10:02.726
God has done that as a
blessing to you in your life
257
00:10:02.726 --> 00:10:06.006
because you repented and
really changed your attitude.
258
00:10:06.006 --> 00:10:07.646
But what's happened in the meantime,
259
00:10:07.646 --> 00:10:09.246
you've become dependent on yourself.
260
00:10:09.246 --> 00:10:12.886
It's not like God has a
great place in your life.
261
00:10:12.886 --> 00:10:14.786
And this is really the
whole point of chapter two.
262
00:10:15.706 --> 00:10:18.526
Now, when we talk about the
outpouring of the Holy Spirit,
263
00:10:18.526 --> 00:10:19.646
we have seen that in our
264
00:10:19.646 --> 00:10:22.106
lifetime. Tell me what you've seen.
265
00:10:22.106 --> 00:10:23.846
Well, because the
outpouring of the Holy Spirit,
266
00:10:23.846 --> 00:10:26.246
you shall receive power
after the Holy Spirit come
267
00:10:26.246 --> 00:10:27.466
upon to be my witnesses.
268
00:10:27.466 --> 00:10:31.186
The real reason for the outpouring of the spirit is that
269
00:10:31.186 --> 00:10:34.086
to understand some things, witnessing is supernatural.
270
00:10:34.086 --> 00:10:36.786
We just depend on our
memory. We fall for formulas.
271
00:10:36.786 --> 00:10:39.206
When I used to go to Youth
for Christ here in Tulsa,
272
00:10:39.206 --> 00:10:43.286
they'd give us 4-points on how to win a person to Jesus.
273
00:10:43.286 --> 00:10:45.206
And I always run across something those 4-points didn't
274
00:10:45.206 --> 00:10:47.206
work on because they didn't fit the book.
275
00:10:47.206 --> 00:10:49.406
And that's why you have the Holy Spirit.
276
00:10:49.406 --> 00:10:52.446
I got on a plane one day and
a young man sat next to me
277
00:10:52.446 --> 00:10:54.866
and I got to get on early
because I'd flown so much.
278
00:10:54.866 --> 00:10:56.954
This kid sitting next to me and the Lord
279
00:10:56.954 --> 00:10:59.046
told me he's ready to receive me.
280
00:10:59.046 --> 00:11:02.026
I stopped for a minute and I
just started talking to him
281
00:11:02.026 --> 00:11:04.946
and as he started talking, he kind
282
00:11:04.946 --> 00:11:05.986
of was talking about the needs for life.
283
00:11:05.986 --> 00:11:07.466
I said, You're ready to receive Jesus,
284
00:11:07.466 --> 00:11:09.666
aren't you? And he burst into tears
285
00:11:09.666 --> 00:11:11.486
and he said, My friends
have been talking to me
286
00:11:11.486 --> 00:11:12.786
and the last thing they said to me,
287
00:11:12.786 --> 00:11:14.006
I said, No, no, no, I don't want it.
288
00:11:14.006 --> 00:11:16.286
He says, And I tried to remember this morning when I woke
289
00:11:16.286 --> 00:11:17.626
up, what were they telling me?
290
00:11:17.626 --> 00:11:18.926
Because I need that, but I can't remember.
291
00:11:18.926 --> 00:11:20.766
They told me how and I don't remember.
292
00:11:20.766 --> 00:11:22.026
And I prayed when I got out of bed.
293
00:11:22.026 --> 00:11:25.026
Lord, send somebody to me
to tell me how to get saved
294
00:11:25.026 --> 00:11:27.746
and receive Jesus. And I was used by God.
295
00:11:27.746 --> 00:11:30.146
Jesus told his disciples
one morning, we have
296
00:11:30.146 --> 00:11:31.486
to go through some area today.
297
00:11:31.486 --> 00:11:33.107
It's a necessary thing
298
00:11:33.107 --> 00:11:34.547
because there was a woman waiting on him.
299
00:11:35.847 --> 00:11:38.267
Most of really witnessing should be a
300
00:11:38.267 --> 00:11:39.467
leadership of the Holy Spirit.
301
00:11:39.467 --> 00:11:42.327
If he doesn't say anything, then go with what you're filled
302
00:11:42.327 --> 00:11:44.847
with and what you know already
and let the person talk
303
00:11:44.847 --> 00:11:46.907
and you can get some
answers as you go along.
304
00:11:46.907 --> 00:11:49.087
But don't dismiss the Holy Spirit.
305
00:11:49.087 --> 00:11:52.647
He is the witness that lives inside of us.
306
00:11:52.647 --> 00:11:55.207
When the Spirit of God 1st began to be poured out
307
00:11:55.207 --> 00:11:58.567
in the 1st of the last century, it was very Bible-based.
308
00:11:59.887 --> 00:12:01.667
And by the time you got to the '60s
309
00:12:01.667 --> 00:12:05.607
and the '70s, I mean, there
were like a restoration
310
00:12:05.607 --> 00:12:07.207
of the gift of teaching to the church.
311
00:12:07.207 --> 00:12:10.587
It was amazing, wasn't it?
Back in the '70s especially.
312
00:12:10.587 --> 00:12:12.107
Amazing Bible teaching.
313
00:12:12.107 --> 00:12:15.407
That's really when you took
off and began to teach? Yeah.
314
00:12:15.407 --> 00:12:19.767
And it seems as time has gone
by, the emphasis on the Bible
315
00:12:19.767 --> 00:12:21.667
has become less and less and less and less
316
00:12:21.667 --> 00:12:25.187
and less until now we're living in an age when the verse
317
00:12:25.187 --> 00:12:28.067
by verse teaching of the Bible
has almost disappeared from
318
00:12:28.067 --> 00:12:29.187
The church. It
319
00:12:29.187 --> 00:12:30.187
Has, yeah.
320
00:12:30.187 --> 00:12:32.227
I mean, you got to really
look hard to find somebody
321
00:12:32.227 --> 00:12:35.267
who teaches verse by
verse or word by word.
322
00:12:35.267 --> 00:12:37.707
Most people teach inspirational messages
323
00:12:37.707 --> 00:12:39.687
and there's a place for that.
324
00:12:39.687 --> 00:12:42.607
Motivational messages - there's a place for that.
325
00:12:42.607 --> 00:12:45.027
But when you don't teach the Bible verse by verse,
326
00:12:46.167 --> 00:12:47.567
there's a lot you never cover.
327
00:12:47.567 --> 00:12:49.787
No, because you understand the context.
328
00:12:49.787 --> 00:12:51.067
What did he start to talk about here at
329
00:12:51.067 --> 00:12:52.127
the beginning of this chapter?
330
00:12:52.127 --> 00:12:53.827
And you're down here trying
to make something out
331
00:12:53.827 --> 00:12:56.527
of this when really it ties
into all of this before it?
332
00:12:57.407 --> 00:13:00.227
So now we're in a place
where in much of the body
333
00:13:00.227 --> 00:13:02.467
of Christ, they're open
to the Holy Spirit.
334
00:13:02.467 --> 00:13:05.307
Really, they are. They're open,
335
00:13:05.307 --> 00:13:07.047
but they don't have a
foundation in the Bible
336
00:13:07.047 --> 00:13:09.368
because the Bible's not
being taught as it once was.
337
00:13:10.228 --> 00:13:11.988
And so in the midst of this outpouring,
338
00:13:12.888 --> 00:13:15.208
there's also become a vacuum of scripture.
339
00:13:15.208 --> 00:13:18.208
I know. I know. - It's shocking to me, Pastor Bob.
340
00:13:18.208 --> 00:13:20.768
I know. I face the same thing.
341
00:13:20.768 --> 00:13:23.028
The day we're living in
today, there's such a lack
342
00:13:23.028 --> 00:13:26.088
of the word of God and
they don't understand.
343
00:13:26.088 --> 00:13:27.228
Christians don't understand why.
344
00:13:28.168 --> 00:13:31.308
What's the power for over healing for speaking in tongues?
345
00:13:31.308 --> 00:13:33.088
No, you should receive power
346
00:13:33.088 --> 00:13:35.088
after the Holy Spirit's come
upon you to be my witness.
347
00:13:35.088 --> 00:13:36.788
To be my witnesses. And it seems like
348
00:13:36.788 --> 00:13:40.468
that Christians have lost the
whole reason why they're here.
349
00:13:40.468 --> 00:13:42.308
They're here to change the government.
350
00:13:42.308 --> 00:13:44.148
I try to tell people,
listen to me very carefully.
351
00:13:44.148 --> 00:13:45.748
I said, I'm not saying we're not
352
00:13:45.748 --> 00:13:46.868
supposed to affect the government.
353
00:13:46.868 --> 00:13:49.388
We can affect it, but we
can't change the world.
354
00:13:49.388 --> 00:13:51.308
Only God's going to change the world.
355
00:13:51.308 --> 00:13:52.868
And what he's asked us to do is change
356
00:13:52.868 --> 00:13:54.248
individuals, get them saved.
357
00:13:54.248 --> 00:13:57.168
The whole thing given to us
in the great commission is use
358
00:13:57.168 --> 00:13:59.228
the power of the Holy
Spirit, the scriptures
359
00:13:59.228 --> 00:14:00.628
that you have in front of you,
360
00:14:00.628 --> 00:14:02.908
and your life dedicated
to daily winning people
361
00:14:02.908 --> 00:14:04.008
to the Lord Jesus Christ.
362
00:14:04.008 --> 00:14:07.128
That's your job. God will never
do your job winning souls,
363
00:14:07.128 --> 00:14:09.128
and you'll never do his
job to change the world.
364
00:14:09.128 --> 00:14:10.208
I can affect it.
365
00:14:10.208 --> 00:14:13.688
I should vote rights if I feel
a leading to get into office.
366
00:14:13.688 --> 00:14:15.728
That's great. Paul ran into so many people
367
00:14:15.728 --> 00:14:17.188
that were in the Roman
government that helped
368
00:14:17.188 --> 00:14:18.728
him in his time.
369
00:14:18.728 --> 00:14:21.328
But the point of it is
that is not the reason why
370
00:14:21.328 --> 00:14:22.868
I'm left here on this earth.
371
00:14:22.868 --> 00:14:24.168
Jesus Christ is to come back
372
00:14:24.168 --> 00:14:26.708
and in a few seconds do
everything it's taken us
373
00:14:26.708 --> 00:14:28.348
that we think we need to do.
374
00:14:28.348 --> 00:14:30.588
And it's taken us years to
accomplish small things,
375
00:14:30.588 --> 00:14:32.908
even in government then all
of a sudden just disappears.
376
00:14:32.908 --> 00:14:33.948
Jesus isn't come back
377
00:14:33.948 --> 00:14:36.468
and in a matter of split second when he comes back at his
378
00:14:36.468 --> 00:14:39.528
2nd Advent, he's going to destroy the armies of the world
379
00:14:39.528 --> 00:14:42.708
and literally take his place
on the throne of the world.
380
00:14:42.708 --> 00:14:45.128
Our job is to reach
people one at a time.
381
00:14:45.128 --> 00:14:49.529
Exactly. - One at a time. Wow, this is so good.
382
00:14:49.529 --> 00:14:51.409
I think many people get sidetracked.
383
00:14:51.409 --> 00:14:54.452
They focus on we're going
to change the government.
384
00:14:54.452 --> 00:14:58.109
And some people actually
believe, they believe wrongly.
385
00:14:58.109 --> 00:14:59.749
And I covered in my book about the rapture
386
00:14:59.749 --> 00:15:01.229
and the antichrist and the tribulation,
387
00:15:01.229 --> 00:15:04.389
but some people really believe
that Jesus is not going
388
00:15:04.389 --> 00:15:07.449
to come until first we
take over the government,
389
00:15:07.449 --> 00:15:09.049
we make everything so perfect,
390
00:15:09.049 --> 00:15:11.869
and then we just present
it all to Jesus as a gift
391
00:15:11.869 --> 00:15:13.429
and then he's going to come.
392
00:15:13.429 --> 00:15:15.849
You know what? It takes more
faith to believe that than
393
00:15:15.849 --> 00:15:17.149
to believe the rapture.
394
00:15:17.149 --> 00:15:18.809
He should have come right
after the day of Pentecost
395
00:15:18.809 --> 00:15:20.029
because that's probably
still the greatest part.
396
00:15:20.029 --> 00:15:21.189
That is the truth.
397
00:15:21.189 --> 00:15:22.929
The whole frighting of the word of God.
398
00:15:22.929 --> 00:15:24.629
Look what Paul did at Ephesus.
399
00:15:24.629 --> 00:15:27.809
He shook the whole world
in one period of time.
400
00:15:27.809 --> 00:15:29.709
No wonder the Lord told
him in a vision, Come over
401
00:15:29.709 --> 00:15:32.069
to Macedonia because that's
where it all started.
402
00:15:32.069 --> 00:15:34.449
Don't go here, don't go there, come here.
403
00:15:34.449 --> 00:15:36.349
And by the end of that, the whole world,
404
00:15:36.349 --> 00:15:38.389
known world was shaken at that time.
405
00:15:38.389 --> 00:15:40.189
We've probably never seen a revival like
406
00:15:40.189 --> 00:15:41.849
that in our time period.
407
00:15:41.849 --> 00:15:44.289
Charismatic movements, all
the rest of them are great.
408
00:15:44.289 --> 00:15:46.669
But I do see something happening right now around the world
409
00:15:46.669 --> 00:15:50.909
that people haven't realized until Charlie Kirk.
410
00:15:50.909 --> 00:15:52.609
There's a worldwide revival going on.
411
00:15:52.609 --> 00:15:54.089
It's been going on under the surface
412
00:15:54.089 --> 00:15:57.109
and all of a sudden it just sprang up in front of everybody.
413
00:15:57.109 --> 00:15:58.509
Well, the outpouring
of the Holy Spirit really
414
00:15:58.509 --> 00:15:59.629
began on the day of Pentecost.
415
00:15:59.629 --> 00:16:02.489
Yes.
God is very specific
416
00:16:02.489 --> 00:16:05.009
and Pentecost occurred at
nine o'clock in the morning.
417
00:16:05.929 --> 00:16:07.889
I mean, that's the day it started.
418
00:16:07.889 --> 00:16:09.289
When the clock struck nine
419
00:16:09.289 --> 00:16:12.549
and the spirit was poured out,
Peter said, Thus sayeth God,
420
00:16:12.549 --> 00:16:14.349
in the last days,
421
00:16:14.349 --> 00:16:16.609
I will pour out my spirit
upon all flesh. That really
422
00:16:16.609 --> 00:16:19.809
triggered the last days, the
outpouring of the spirit.
423
00:16:19.809 --> 00:16:21.409
We've been living in that for 2,000
424
00:16:21.409 --> 00:16:22.409
years.
425
00:16:22.409 --> 00:16:24.909
That's right. But when you come to the very, very close of
426
00:16:24.909 --> 00:16:28.089
that period, there's going
to be a greater outpouring.
427
00:16:28.089 --> 00:16:30.950
There's also going to be a
departure from the faith.
428
00:16:30.950 --> 00:16:32.790
And we really are seeing both of these.
429
00:16:32.790 --> 00:16:36.230
I'm amazed, Pastor Bob, at churches where
430
00:16:36.230 --> 00:16:37.990
you don't even hear anybody
praying in tongues. I
431
00:16:37.990 --> 00:16:38.990
Know.
432
00:16:38.990 --> 00:16:40.790
There's no gifts of the spirit.
433
00:16:40.790 --> 00:16:43.250
There's great music, but you know what?
434
00:16:43.250 --> 00:16:45.850
Music is great, but you cannot
build your life on music.
435
00:16:45.850 --> 00:16:48.570
No. - Music is not a
foundation that you can stand on.
436
00:16:48.570 --> 00:16:50.310
But you can't build your
life either by staying at home
437
00:16:50.310 --> 00:16:52.190
and watching everything on television
438
00:16:52.190 --> 00:16:54.170
or not watching anything on television
439
00:16:54.170 --> 00:16:56.170
or just thinking somehow
I've reached my zines
440
00:16:56.170 --> 00:16:57.550
because I got born again.
441
00:16:57.550 --> 00:16:59.330
That's like ditching a
child once he's born.
442
00:16:59.330 --> 00:17:01.450
No, there's a lot of care that's going
443
00:17:01.450 --> 00:17:04.810
to make you an adult one day
and you're not there yet.
444
00:17:04.810 --> 00:17:06.790
In Proverbs 10:21, it says, The lips
445
00:17:06.790 --> 00:17:10.210
of the righteous feed many.
I really love that verse,
446
00:17:10.210 --> 00:17:12.510
and I believe it's part of my
assignment is to feed money.
447
00:17:12.510 --> 00:17:14.570
Yeah, me too.
And the response
448
00:17:14.570 --> 00:17:17.290
to this TV program is enormous.
449
00:17:17.290 --> 00:17:19.230
People call and call and call
450
00:17:19.230 --> 00:17:22.290
and we would love for you to
call, but they're calling.
451
00:17:22.290 --> 00:17:24.390
It's not because I'm so bright, it's
452
00:17:24.390 --> 00:17:26.370
because they're getting
the verse by verse, word
453
00:17:26.370 --> 00:17:27.870
by word teaching of the scripture.
454
00:17:27.870 --> 00:17:29.270
It's opening the Bible to them.
455
00:17:30.210 --> 00:17:32.310
And when you have the verse by verse
456
00:17:32.310 --> 00:17:34.730
and word by word teaching
of the scripture,
457
00:17:34.730 --> 00:17:37.030
it covers every single issue.
458
00:17:37.030 --> 00:17:37.950
You don't have to wonder about
459
00:17:37.950 --> 00:17:39.190
what's right and what's wrong.
460
00:17:39.190 --> 00:17:41.230
In fact, Hebrews 5 says
461
00:17:41.230 --> 00:17:43.050
that when you eat the word of God,
462
00:17:43.050 --> 00:17:45.310
it produces in you the ability to know
463
00:17:45.310 --> 00:17:47.710
what is right and what is wrong.
464
00:17:47.710 --> 00:17:49.730
And when you're a person
that's really fed on the word
465
00:17:49.730 --> 00:17:50.790
of God, you don't have
466
00:17:50.790 --> 00:17:53.790
to labor long over whether
something's right or wrong
467
00:17:53.790 --> 00:17:56.630
because you know, because the
word of God's working in you,
468
00:17:56.630 --> 00:17:58.530
it gives you discernment.
469
00:17:58.530 --> 00:18:01.250
You just have more sense than
other people when the word
470
00:18:01.250 --> 00:18:03.171
of God is working in you.
471
00:18:03.171 --> 00:18:06.331
And you need the verse by
verse teaching of the Bible.
472
00:18:06.331 --> 00:18:07.730
And Pastor Bob, I'm thinking about you
473
00:18:08.771 --> 00:18:10.071
because you no longer pastor
474
00:18:11.191 --> 00:18:13.931
and you went around looking
for a church to attend
475
00:18:13.931 --> 00:18:15.551
and you really couldn't find the gifts
476
00:18:15.551 --> 00:18:17.011
of the spirit working in any church.
477
00:18:17.011 --> 00:18:20.091
So you and Loretta decided to
go to a denominational church.
478
00:18:20.091 --> 00:18:22.091
I don't want to name the
denominational church,
479
00:18:22.091 --> 00:18:24.671
but you went where they had
the teaching of the Bible.
480
00:18:25.971 --> 00:18:28.031
And what I appreciate about
the pastor is we can talk
481
00:18:28.031 --> 00:18:29.151
about things we disagree on,
482
00:18:29.151 --> 00:18:31.891
but we always walk away
basically saying you're
483
00:18:31.891 --> 00:18:33.011
entitled to your view.
484
00:18:33.011 --> 00:18:35.831
I'm entitled to my view. We don't try to correct each other.
485
00:18:35.831 --> 00:18:37.871
And I just enjoy being there
486
00:18:37.871 --> 00:18:40.031
and the people there are
very open to the word of God.
487
00:18:40.031 --> 00:18:41.991
And so he's a verse by verse, word
488
00:18:41.991 --> 00:18:44.951
by word teacher sometimes. Well,
489
00:18:44.951 --> 00:18:46.711
What does the Bible tell
us about the outpouring
490
00:18:46.711 --> 00:18:49.451
of the Holy Spirit in our
age and in the age to come?
491
00:18:50.371 --> 00:18:52.071
It hasn't changed since
the day of Pentecost.
492
00:18:52.071 --> 00:18:53.631
It was given for witnessing
493
00:18:53.631 --> 00:18:56.111
and for anointing of the
Holy Spirit for healing
494
00:18:56.111 --> 00:18:58.251
because healing, the ultimate
thing about healing is it
495
00:18:58.251 --> 00:19:00.631
shouldn't be the fact he walked away feeling better,
496
00:19:00.631 --> 00:19:03.111
it's he had a closer relationship with Jesus Christ.
497
00:19:03.111 --> 00:19:06.071
And that healing can
lead to the new birth.
498
00:19:06.071 --> 00:19:09.411
And the man that was at the
gate beautiful, once they
499
00:19:09.411 --> 00:19:11.491
touched him, he jumped and leaped.
500
00:19:11.491 --> 00:19:13.311
He went walking, leaping and praising God,
501
00:19:13.311 --> 00:19:16.091
but the next thing was he
followed them into the temple.
502
00:19:16.091 --> 00:19:17.291
We ought to lead people the moment
503
00:19:17.291 --> 00:19:19.031
we get them safe, follow me.
504
00:19:19.031 --> 00:19:21.571
And they led him into the temple
505
00:19:21.571 --> 00:19:22.931
because the 1st commandment
506
00:19:22.931 --> 00:19:24.691
after a person's born again now become a
507
00:19:24.691 --> 00:19:26.151
disciple of Jesus Christ.
508
00:19:26.151 --> 00:19:27.951
And it's by study of the word of God
509
00:19:27.951 --> 00:19:30.591
that we become a disciple of Jesus Christ.
510
00:19:30.591 --> 00:19:32.811
So the whole purpose of the anointing of the Holy Spirit is
511
00:19:32.811 --> 00:19:35.191
to endow you with your call.
512
00:19:35.191 --> 00:19:36.571
And the number one call given
513
00:19:36.571 --> 00:19:38.151
to you the moment you
got born again was going
514
00:19:38.151 --> 00:19:39.951
to all the world and preach the gospel
515
00:19:39.951 --> 00:19:41.831
and all the world starts
outside your front door.
516
00:19:42.931 --> 00:19:45.072
And people just don't
see that that much today.
517
00:19:45.072 --> 00:19:46.811
They're all looking
for just them doing the
518
00:19:46.811 --> 00:19:47.972
things like the disciples didn't.
519
00:19:47.972 --> 00:19:49.732
They put all the emphasis
on raising the dead,
520
00:19:49.732 --> 00:19:52.332
healing the sick, when it's all temporary.
521
00:19:52.332 --> 00:19:55.012
I'm offering you that
temporary thing to shake you
522
00:19:55.012 --> 00:19:57.732
to realize there's an
indestructible thing coming
523
00:19:57.732 --> 00:19:59.352
after that's eternal
524
00:19:59.352 --> 00:20:01.992
and that's receiving
Jesus as Lord and Savior.
525
00:20:01.992 --> 00:20:05.592
When Jesus ministered to
the multitudes, it says,
526
00:20:05.592 --> 00:20:08.232
And healed every sick
person. And then it said,
527
00:20:08.232 --> 00:20:10.112
And many believed in him. Not every
528
00:20:10.112 --> 00:20:11.792
person that got healed -
529
00:20:11.792 --> 00:20:12.792
Believed.
530
00:20:12.792 --> 00:20:15.372
Well, believed. It just
says everyone that came
531
00:20:15.372 --> 00:20:16.472
for healing got healed.
532
00:20:16.472 --> 00:20:17.912
He was so merciful to do that.
533
00:20:17.912 --> 00:20:20.472
It says, Then many believed
on him. I imagine a bunch
534
00:20:20.472 --> 00:20:21.652
of them after they got
healed said, Let's go
535
00:20:21.652 --> 00:20:24.212
home. That's it.
536
00:20:24.212 --> 00:20:25.812
And that's kind of what
we're looking at today.
537
00:20:25.812 --> 00:20:28.492
We want to be that one hit wonder
538
00:20:28.492 --> 00:20:29.832
that just does the one thing
539
00:20:29.832 --> 00:20:32.312
and then did one thing with another person
540
00:20:32.312 --> 00:20:35.732
and never get to the real purpose of why healing was given,
541
00:20:35.732 --> 00:20:38.572
that Jesus healed the sick in order
542
00:20:38.572 --> 00:20:40.392
that they might understand
that he was the Messiah
543
00:20:40.392 --> 00:20:41.812
and receiving him as Lord and Savior.
544
00:20:41.812 --> 00:20:43.672
What about the outpouring of
the Holy Spirit that's going
545
00:20:43.672 --> 00:20:45.832
to happen during the millennial reign?
546
00:20:45.832 --> 00:20:46.872
It'll be greater than everything
547
00:20:46.872 --> 00:20:49.232
because there's going to
be less resistance to it.
548
00:20:49.232 --> 00:20:50.492
In the beginning of the millennium, a lot
549
00:20:50.492 --> 00:20:52.132
of people came over from the tribulation
550
00:20:52.132 --> 00:20:53.872
that were saved and didn't die.
551
00:20:53.872 --> 00:20:55.992
So they come on into the millennium
552
00:20:55.992 --> 00:20:58.112
and they still have natural bodies.
553
00:20:58.112 --> 00:21:00.192
And so there'll be a need for the outpouring
554
00:21:00.192 --> 00:21:01.292
of the Holy Spirit because there's still going
555
00:21:01.292 --> 00:21:03.292
to be some witnessing during the Millennium
556
00:21:03.292 --> 00:21:06.012
and people receiving Jesus.
557
00:21:06.012 --> 00:21:08.572
So because their children will be born
558
00:21:08.572 --> 00:21:09.772
into that time period.
559
00:21:09.772 --> 00:21:11.452
And there's going to be a
rebellion at the end of it.
560
00:21:11.452 --> 00:21:12.572
Massive numbers of people
561
00:21:12.572 --> 00:21:14.072
rebelling against Jesus. Yeah, that is a
562
00:21:14.072 --> 00:21:15.072
Mystery.
563
00:21:15.072 --> 00:21:15.905
How in the world could that happen?
564
00:21:15.905 --> 00:21:18.072
Because these people
that were saved during the
565
00:21:19.212 --> 00:21:21.492
tribulation came into the
millennium, had children,
566
00:21:21.492 --> 00:21:23.513
but their children have to receive.
567
00:21:23.513 --> 00:21:25.072
And Satan's released for a while and,
568
00:21:25.072 --> 00:21:26.913
and it rounds up all these
569
00:21:26.913 --> 00:21:28.333
and it just shows you perfect
570
00:21:28.333 --> 00:21:30.413
environment is not man's answer. Oh,
571
00:21:30.413 --> 00:21:32.053
That is great.
572
00:21:32.053 --> 00:21:32.933
And people are always looking for
573
00:21:32.933 --> 00:21:34.253
changing the environment.
574
00:21:34.253 --> 00:21:35.513
Can we talk about that on the next
575
00:21:35.513 --> 00:21:36.873
Program? Yeah, let's do that.
576
00:21:36.873 --> 00:21:39.253
Oh, I'm so sorry we're out of time.
577
00:21:39.253 --> 00:21:40.293
But we'll be back in just a
578
00:21:40.293 --> 00:21:41.693
moment and we're going to pray for you.
579
00:21:49.853 --> 00:21:52.693
This is Rick Renner and somebody has asked the question -
580
00:21:52.693 --> 00:21:57.493
Is every problem in my life a result of demons?
581
00:21:57.493 --> 00:21:59.793
No, not every problem.
582
00:21:59.793 --> 00:22:03.313
Usually our problems are self-inflicted when we open the
583
00:22:03.313 --> 00:22:06.293
door and the devil finds
that door and comes in
584
00:22:06.293 --> 00:22:08.753
and begins to make a mess out of things.
585
00:22:08.753 --> 00:22:12.193
And that's why we're told in Ephesians 4:
586
00:22:12.193 --> 00:22:15.673
27 - Neither give place to the devil.
587
00:22:15.673 --> 00:22:17.313
You have to understand the devil's looking
588
00:22:17.313 --> 00:22:21.793
for any open door, any open
window, even a crack, any way
589
00:22:21.793 --> 00:22:25.353
that he can wiggle his way
into your personal affairs.
590
00:22:25.353 --> 00:22:28.573
But when we are living
holy and consecrated lives
591
00:22:28.573 --> 00:22:30.673
and the windows shut and the door is shut
592
00:22:30.673 --> 00:22:35.073
and there's no cracks, the
devil cannot find entrance.
593
00:22:35.073 --> 00:22:37.613
So my friends, though the devil is real
594
00:22:37.613 --> 00:22:41.653
and sometimes our problems really are caused by the devil,
595
00:22:41.653 --> 00:22:43.873
we need to make sure we're doing our part
596
00:22:43.873 --> 00:22:47.853
to close every door, close
every window, close every crack,
597
00:22:47.853 --> 00:22:49.953
and give no place to the devil.
598
00:22:51.153 --> 00:22:53.813
Fear of future events
often comes from biblical
599
00:22:53.813 --> 00:22:57.233
illiteracy, but you don't
have to stay trapped there.
600
00:22:57.233 --> 00:23:00.093
In the outpouring of the
Holy Spirit in the last days,
601
00:23:00.093 --> 00:23:02.973
Rick Renner and guest Bob
Yandian turned to scripture
602
00:23:02.973 --> 00:23:06.394
to explain key end time
events like the rapture,
603
00:23:06.394 --> 00:23:09.694
the marriage feast of the
lamb, the tribulation,
604
00:23:09.694 --> 00:23:11.474
and the millennial reign.
605
00:23:11.474 --> 00:23:14.414
This five-part series will
explain what lies ahead
606
00:23:14.414 --> 00:23:17.154
to reveal the urgency
of the great commission.
607
00:23:17.154 --> 00:23:20.234
Rather than fixating on
unsolvable mysteries like the
608
00:23:20.234 --> 00:23:23.634
antichrist's identity,
be informed by the word
609
00:23:23.634 --> 00:23:27.214
and let it fuel a joyful
anticipation of Christ's return
610
00:23:27.214 --> 00:23:30.074
and ignite your call to reach the lost.
611
00:23:30.074 --> 00:23:31.174
Available in digital
612
00:23:31.174 --> 00:23:33.760
or physical formats starting at just $11,
613
00:23:34.594 --> 00:23:38.134
this timely series will bring
clarity, equipping you to live
614
00:23:38.134 --> 00:23:41.074
with confidence and
purpose in these last days.
615
00:23:41.074 --> 00:23:43.894
In addition, we are offering
you the book The Day
616
00:23:43.894 --> 00:23:45.514

00:23:47.534 --> 00:23:50.334

625
00:24:06.494 --> 00:24:08.814
This is Rick Renner.
And my friend, I want
626
00:24:08.814 --> 00:24:11.194
to say thank you for everything you do
627
00:24:11.194 --> 00:24:14.294
to help us fulfill the
call of God on our lives.
628
00:24:14.294 --> 00:24:16.934
In Proverbs 10:21, it says, The lips
629
00:24:16.934 --> 00:24:20.794
of the righteous feed
many. And that's my verse.
630
00:24:20.794 --> 00:24:23.334
I know that God has
called me to feed as many
631
00:24:23.334 --> 00:24:27.954
as possible the wonderful
trusted teaching of the Bible.
632
00:24:27.954 --> 00:24:30.074
And if you're a partner,
I want to tell you
633
00:24:30.934 --> 00:24:33.314
that we have given away hundreds
634
00:24:33.314 --> 00:24:37.334
and thousands of digital free downloads.
635
00:24:37.334 --> 00:24:40.634
People write to us from all over the planet,
636
00:24:40.634 --> 00:24:43.075
and when they request something that is digital,
637
00:24:43.075 --> 00:24:44.715
we can get it to them right away.
638
00:24:45.635 --> 00:24:47.355
And because of you, and
639
00:24:47.355 --> 00:24:49.175
because of the gifts that you give,
640
00:24:49.175 --> 00:24:53.015
we are taking the life transforming power of God's word
641
00:24:53.015 --> 00:24:55.775
to people all over the planet.
642
00:24:55.775 --> 00:24:57.955
I'm talking about people
that are really crying out
643
00:24:57.955 --> 00:24:59.855
and asking for answers.
644
00:24:59.855 --> 00:25:01.935
And digitally, we are sending them lots
645
00:25:01.935 --> 00:25:04.895
and lots of free materials,
hundreds and thousands.
646
00:25:05.755 --> 00:25:07.955
And you're a part of that. So I just
647
00:25:07.955 --> 00:25:09.675
wanted to say thank you.
648
00:25:09.675 --> 00:25:11.735
And if you're not a partner
with our ministry yet,
649
00:25:11.735 --> 00:25:14.455
we need you because the job is so big.
650
00:25:14.455 --> 00:25:17.075
And if you're blessed by
our ministry, we ask you
651
00:25:17.075 --> 00:25:18.875
to join our partner family
652
00:25:18.875 --> 00:25:21.915
and help us take the trusted
teaching of the Bible
653
00:25:21.915 --> 00:25:23.035
to the ends of the earth.
654
00:25:28.815 --> 00:25:31.595
Well, we have just finished program No.2
655
00:25:31.595 --> 00:25:32.855
with Pastor Bob Yandian.
656
00:25:32.855 --> 00:25:35.135
We're doing a series about The Outpouring
657
00:25:35.135 --> 00:25:37.355
of the Holy Spirit in the Last Days.
658
00:25:37.355 --> 00:25:38.755
We're living in that outpouring,
659
00:25:38.755 --> 00:25:40.695
but it's going to get greater
and greater and greater,
660
00:25:40.695 --> 00:25:43.595
and the greatest part of the
outpouring is going to happen
661
00:25:43.595 --> 00:25:45.635
during the millennial reign of Jesus.
662
00:25:45.635 --> 00:25:48.855
But we're also speaking
from Pastor Bob's book,
663
00:25:48.855 --> 00:25:50.755
which is called The Day of the Lord.
664
00:25:50.755 --> 00:25:53.055
This book is amazing.
665
00:25:53.055 --> 00:25:55.815
I read it from cover to
cover in one setting.
666
00:25:55.815 --> 00:25:58.175
It really fed my heart, and
I know it's going to feed you
667
00:25:58.175 --> 00:26:00.955
and it's going to answer
your questions about the days
668
00:26:00.955 --> 00:26:02.155
that are in front of us.
669
00:26:02.155 --> 00:26:04.495
And on the back of the
book, it says, Live
670
00:26:04.495 --> 00:26:06.515
with unshakable hope
671
00:26:06.515 --> 00:26:09.075
in the last days. Wow - people need hope.
672
00:26:09.075 --> 00:26:10.075
That's right.
673
00:26:10.075 --> 00:26:11.795
Well, you really give hope in this book,
674
00:26:11.795 --> 00:26:13.595
but if you want to know
how to get these resources,
675
00:26:13.595 --> 00:26:16.015
just go online or give us a call.
676
00:26:16.015 --> 00:26:18.355
And as I always tell
you, if you need prayer,
677
00:26:18.355 --> 00:26:19.615
let us know how to pray for you.
678
00:26:19.615 --> 00:26:22.156
If you've got a need and
you need somebody to pray
679
00:26:22.156 --> 00:26:23.676
with you, here we are.
680
00:26:23.676 --> 00:26:25.436
We're waiting to hear from you.
681
00:26:25.436 --> 00:26:28.116
Or you can send us an email regardless
682
00:26:28.116 --> 00:26:29.836
of whether you call or write.
683
00:26:29.836 --> 00:26:32.136
When we hear from you, we're going to pray.
684
00:26:32.136 --> 00:26:36.276
And Jeremiah 33:3 says that if we call to God in faith,
685
00:26:36.276 --> 00:26:39.456
he will hear us, he will answer us,
686
00:26:39.456 --> 00:26:41.216
and he'll do something spectacular.
687
00:26:41.216 --> 00:26:44.296
So something spectacular is coming your way.
688
00:26:44.296 --> 00:26:47.956
We want to pray with you, so please let us know how to pray.
689
00:26:47.956 --> 00:26:49.896
And I want to pray with you right now.
690
00:26:49.896 --> 00:26:51.456
Father, I thank in the name of Jesus
691
00:26:51.456 --> 00:26:53.676
that Pastor Bob Yandian is with us today
692
00:26:53.676 --> 00:26:55.416
and every day this week.
693
00:26:55.416 --> 00:26:58.656
We thank you that we can
have an unshakeable hope
694
00:26:58.656 --> 00:27:01.216
even in the last days.
695
00:27:01.216 --> 00:27:02.616
We thank you that you've tagged us
696
00:27:02.616 --> 00:27:04.796
and called us to live in this age.
697
00:27:04.796 --> 00:27:08.076
Help us to embrace it with
faith and to help others.
698
00:27:08.076 --> 00:27:10.896
In Jesus' wonderful name - Amen.
699
00:27:11.936 --> 00:27:13.316
Now, when we come back tomorrow, we're going
700
00:27:13.316 --> 00:27:15.316
to be talking about the outpouring
701
00:27:15.316 --> 00:27:17.116
of the Holy Spirit in the present age
702
00:27:17.116 --> 00:27:18.656
and in the age to come.
703
00:27:18.656 --> 00:27:20.156
It's going to be good.
704
00:27:20.156 --> 00:27:24.276
But until then, remember that Ecclesiastes 8:4 says
705
00:27:24.276 --> 00:27:26.956
"Where the word of a king is, there is power."
706
00:27:27.876 --> 00:27:30.076
If you've never received Jesus as your savior
707
00:27:30.076 --> 00:27:32.336
and Lord, now is the time for you
708
00:27:32.336 --> 00:27:36.636
to experience a new life Jesus has to give you.
709
00:27:36.636 --> 00:27:39.816
Pray this prayer with me right now.
710
00:27:39.816 --> 00:27:42.416
Lord, I repent of my sin
711
00:27:42.416 --> 00:27:46.036
and receive you as my savior and Lord.
712
00:27:46.036 --> 00:27:50.156
Wash away my sin and
make me completely new.
713
00:27:50.156 --> 00:27:54.516
I thank you that my sin is removed
714
00:27:54.516 --> 00:27:59.337
and Satan no longer has any
right to lay claim on me.
715
00:27:59.337 --> 00:28:04.037
I faithfully promise that
I will serve you as my Lord
716
00:28:04.037 --> 00:28:05.577
for the rest of my life.
717
00:28:06.657 --> 00:28:07.657
Amen.
718
00:28:09.177 --> 00:28:11.357
Thank you for joining Rick Renner today.
