Ron Carpenter | Ron Carpenter - Encounter (Part 4) | March 31, 2026

(upbeat music)
00:00:01.384 --> 00:00:10.560
(upbeat music continues)
00:00:11.061 --> 00:00:16.533
- the bible says that god spoke to a church
00:00:17.467 --> 00:00:19.903
In a place called ephesus.
00:00:19.903 --> 00:00:21.805
And he told them,
00:00:21.805 --> 00:00:23.306
"i pray that god would give you the spirit of wisdom,
00:00:23.306 --> 00:00:27.210
And the spirit of revelation,
00:00:27.210 --> 00:00:29.179
That you might know what is the hope of your calling."
00:00:29.179 --> 00:00:32.148
Hi, i'm ron carpenter. welcome to ron carpenter television.
00:00:32.148 --> 00:00:34.651
I got a big smile on my face. why?
00:00:34.651 --> 00:00:36.019
'cause i believe futures are about to be opened up.
00:00:36.019 --> 00:00:39.255
We've been talking about exposure here,
00:00:39.255 --> 00:00:40.957
We've been going through the life of ruth
00:00:40.957 --> 00:00:42.892
And we've been studying her entire life,
00:00:42.892 --> 00:00:45.028
How god has brought her out of just the shambles,
00:00:45.028 --> 00:00:48.498
Just the ashes of life,
00:00:48.498 --> 00:00:50.333
And given her such a wonderful restoration and inheritance.
00:00:50.333 --> 00:00:53.403
And no, this isn't disney world.
00:00:53.403 --> 00:00:55.238
And no, this isn't fairytale land.
00:00:55.238 --> 00:00:56.806
This is real. this is true.
00:00:56.806 --> 00:00:58.541
And i believe it's something god wants to do for you,
00:00:58.541 --> 00:01:00.477
And for everyone.
00:01:00.477 --> 00:01:01.678
These are truths that can fit your life.
00:01:01.678 --> 00:01:03.646
But there has to be a time where you get a picture
00:01:03.646 --> 00:01:06.316
And an image of a future that can be far different
00:01:06.316 --> 00:01:09.185
From your yesterday.
00:01:09.185 --> 00:01:10.553
And that you run and chase
00:01:10.553 --> 00:01:12.188
And begin to build in that direction.
00:01:12.188 --> 00:01:14.724
It's my goal, it's my hope,
00:01:14.724 --> 00:01:16.726
That these messages here in "exposure" will help you see,
00:01:16.726 --> 00:01:20.096
Just if nothing more, a snapshot of the you that can be.
00:01:20.096 --> 00:01:25.368
Let me quit talking.
00:01:25.835 --> 00:01:27.203
Let's get into this, and i'll see you in a moment.
00:01:27.203 --> 00:01:29.105
I'm so grateful for all those that are with us this morning
00:01:29.105 --> 00:01:32.275
At each of our campuses.
00:01:32.275 --> 00:01:33.810
I'm so grateful for you.
00:01:33.810 --> 00:01:35.245
Not only am i grateful for you,
00:01:35.245 --> 00:01:36.946
But i'm grateful for our entire, our church community,
00:01:36.946 --> 00:01:40.250
And for everybody who's watching online.
00:01:40.250 --> 00:01:42.118
And i believe god's gonna do something powerful
00:01:42.118 --> 00:01:44.554
For everybody today.
00:01:44.554 --> 00:01:46.089
And you just need to stay tuned and don't flip anywhere else
00:01:46.089 --> 00:01:50.260
If you have come across where we're about to preach.
00:01:50.260 --> 00:01:52.896
Because everybody's lost something.
00:01:52.896 --> 00:01:55.965
And we're gonna talk today
00:01:55.965 --> 00:01:57.233
About how god is a restorer of lost things.
00:01:57.233 --> 00:02:00.103
For those of you who may be visiting with us,
00:02:00.103 --> 00:02:02.105
Please don't turn away from maybe the live feed,
00:02:02.105 --> 00:02:05.542
Or however you're getting to us.
00:02:05.542 --> 00:02:07.210
Those that may be under one of our roofs today,
00:02:07.210 --> 00:02:09.379
I have been preaching a year long series
00:02:09.379 --> 00:02:11.514
Of the book of ruth,
00:02:11.514 --> 00:02:12.782
But that does not mean that every message
00:02:12.782 --> 00:02:15.552
Does not stand on its own merit,
00:02:15.552 --> 00:02:16.986
And you cannot get something out of it.
00:02:16.986 --> 00:02:18.922
We're coming to the very end.
00:02:18.922 --> 00:02:20.356
In fact, i may only have about two more messages
00:02:20.356 --> 00:02:22.825
In the entire year-long teaching.
00:02:22.825 --> 00:02:25.361
I hope that you've enjoyed it.
00:02:25.361 --> 00:02:26.796
We've gone through many different topics,
00:02:26.796 --> 00:02:28.865
Many different scriptures, i've tried to break 'em down.
00:02:28.865 --> 00:02:31.534
But the fact is we have this woman named ruth
00:02:31.534 --> 00:02:34.938
Who is likened unto the church, and us.
00:02:34.938 --> 00:02:38.741
And then we have this man named boaz,
00:02:38.741 --> 00:02:40.510
Who is a restorer of everything that ruth lost.
00:02:40.510 --> 00:02:43.546
Is the one through whom she will get her inheritance.
00:02:43.546 --> 00:02:46.482
And that is our jesus. that is our christ.
00:02:46.482 --> 00:02:49.319
The one who restores all that sin has taken away from us.
00:02:49.319 --> 00:02:53.323
All that life has taken away from us.
00:02:53.323 --> 00:02:55.792
All that the enemy has taken away from us.
00:02:55.792 --> 00:02:58.494
And it is through jesus christ
00:02:58.494 --> 00:02:59.862
That those things are given back.
00:02:59.862 --> 00:03:01.297
Or we could say that our inheritance comes to us.
00:03:01.297 --> 00:03:04.834
We've been talking about that lately.
00:03:04.834 --> 00:03:06.603
So it's not just about meeting jesus and getting saved.
00:03:06.603 --> 00:03:10.340
It is about god restoring to you everything
00:03:10.340 --> 00:03:13.476
That was rightfully yours from the beginning,
00:03:13.476 --> 00:03:16.546
But life and sin and everything else has taken it from you.
00:03:16.546 --> 00:03:20.116
And jesus is the only way through which those rights
00:03:20.116 --> 00:03:24.020
Are received again into your life.
00:03:24.020 --> 00:03:26.823
So we're right here.
00:03:26.823 --> 00:03:28.224
We've been talking about the last couple of messages.
00:03:28.224 --> 00:03:30.493
I said, well,
00:03:30.493 --> 00:03:31.894
Probably the most important ones that i preach.
00:03:31.894 --> 00:03:33.496
Where we've talked about literally receiving an inheritance.
00:03:33.496 --> 00:03:37.567
Well, today we're gonna get even deeper in that.
00:03:37.567 --> 00:03:39.569
There's a lot of teaching.
00:03:39.569 --> 00:03:40.903
But i promise that before i'm through,
00:03:40.903 --> 00:03:42.405
I'll give you two or three shouting points, all right?
00:03:42.405 --> 00:03:44.440
So that's a promise that i make to you.
00:03:44.440 --> 00:03:46.242
Let's go now into ruth 4.
00:03:46.242 --> 00:03:50.079
And i've just got two or three verses out of that
00:03:50.079 --> 00:03:52.815
I'm gonna read,
00:03:52.815 --> 00:03:54.117
Then i'm gonna read something from mark 3,
00:03:54.117 --> 00:03:55.318
And i'm gonna turn loose, all right?
00:03:55.318 --> 00:03:57.720
"so boaz took ruth, and she became his wife."
00:03:57.720 --> 00:04:04.594
We made it. here we are.
00:04:05.094 --> 00:04:07.630
"and when he went into her, the lord gave her conception,
00:04:08.798 --> 00:04:13.202
And she bore a son.
00:04:13.202 --> 00:04:15.071
Then the woman said to naomi, 'blessed be the lord
00:04:16.072 --> 00:04:19.876
Who has not left you this day without a close relative.
00:04:19.876 --> 00:04:24.347
And may his name be famous in israel.
00:04:24.347 --> 00:04:27.817
And may he be to you a restorer.
00:04:27.817 --> 00:04:31.587
May he be to you a restorer.
00:04:31.587 --> 00:04:34.924
May he be to you a restorer of life
00:04:34.924 --> 00:04:37.794
And a nourisher of your old age.
00:04:37.794 --> 00:04:41.130
For your daughter-in-law, who loves you,
00:04:41.130 --> 00:04:44.334
Who is better to you than seven sons has born him.'
00:04:44.334 --> 00:04:49.138
Then naomi took the child, laid him on her bosom,
00:04:49.138 --> 00:04:53.309
And became a nurse to him."
00:04:53.309 --> 00:04:56.713
Man, there's a lot of stuff in that.
00:04:56.713 --> 00:04:58.648
I'll just have to do the best i can to break it down.
00:04:58.648 --> 00:05:01.884
Now, and he entered the synagogue, again, mark 3:1.
00:05:01.884 --> 00:05:07.190
"and a man was there who had a withered hand.
00:05:08.091 --> 00:05:10.326
So they watched him closely whether he would heal them
00:05:10.326 --> 00:05:13.296
On the sabbath, so that they might accuse him.
00:05:13.296 --> 00:05:16.699
And he said to the man who had the withered hand,
00:05:17.700 --> 00:05:20.770
'step forward.'
00:05:20.770 --> 00:05:22.705
Then he said to them,
00:05:22.705 --> 00:05:24.207
'is it lawful on the sabbath to do good or to do evil?
00:05:24.207 --> 00:05:26.576
To save life or to kill?'
00:05:26.576 --> 00:05:28.344
They kept silent.
00:05:28.344 --> 00:05:30.012
And when he had looked around at them
00:05:30.012 --> 00:05:33.416
With anger being greed by the hardness of their hearts,
00:05:33.416 --> 00:05:37.019
He said to the man, 'stretch out your hand.'
00:05:37.019 --> 00:05:40.223
And he stretched out his hand,
00:05:40.857 --> 00:05:43.459
And his hand was restored, restored, restored,
00:05:43.459 --> 00:05:48.698
As whole as the other."
00:05:49.198 --> 00:05:51.134
So lord bless the reading of your word
00:05:51.934 --> 00:05:53.636
And everybody said amen in jesus's name.
00:05:53.636 --> 00:05:56.239
Amen.
00:05:56.239 --> 00:05:57.507
All right, let me get to some teaching facts here
00:05:57.507 --> 00:06:00.777
That i want to get to, and like i said,
00:06:00.777 --> 00:06:02.979
I'll give you a few points here
00:06:02.979 --> 00:06:04.280
Where you can just rip loose and shout with me
00:06:04.280 --> 00:06:07.550
And clap with me and stand, dance, whatever you want to do.
00:06:07.550 --> 00:06:10.586
But i've talked about,
00:06:10.586 --> 00:06:12.155
There's a couple of principles i'm gonna pull out
00:06:12.155 --> 00:06:13.956
That at times in the last 26 and a half years i have taught,
00:06:13.956 --> 00:06:17.693
But nevertheless, i'm gonna pull 'em out,
00:06:17.693 --> 00:06:19.429
And try to describe them in a new way.
00:06:19.429 --> 00:06:21.664
There is a difference, okay?
00:06:21.664 --> 00:06:24.400
Some of you've heard this, some of you never have.
00:06:24.400 --> 00:06:26.502
Between when you were created, and when you were made.
00:06:26.502 --> 00:06:30.907
There is a difference between when you were created,
00:06:30.907 --> 00:06:34.310
And when you were made.
00:06:34.310 --> 00:06:36.179
This is kind of a deep subject,
00:06:36.179 --> 00:06:37.914
So i just want you to roll with me here, all right?
00:06:37.914 --> 00:06:40.249
Created versus made. created versus made.
00:06:40.249 --> 00:06:43.252
The word made means to take from something
00:06:43.252 --> 00:06:46.689
That already exists, and make something else.
00:06:46.689 --> 00:06:51.327
To take from something that exists and make something else.
00:06:51.327 --> 00:06:55.231
The bible says god made,
00:06:55.231 --> 00:06:56.966
Or god formed a man out of the dust of the earth.
00:06:56.966 --> 00:07:00.636
God already had one thing,
00:07:00.636 --> 00:07:03.139
And he took it and made something else out of it, okay?
00:07:03.139 --> 00:07:07.643
So the concept of adam having a body
00:07:07.643 --> 00:07:10.780
Would be god taking one thing
00:07:10.780 --> 00:07:12.748
And changing it into another thing.
00:07:12.748 --> 00:07:15.585
He already had dirt, but he didn't have a man.
00:07:15.585 --> 00:07:18.688
So he took the dirt and made a man out of the dirt.
00:07:18.688 --> 00:07:22.325
Therefore, adam was formed,
00:07:22.325 --> 00:07:23.993
Or the hebrew word would always also say, made.
00:07:23.993 --> 00:07:28.664
So now let me go forward with this.
00:07:28.664 --> 00:07:30.466
When you talk about created,
00:07:30.466 --> 00:07:32.435
And god said, "let there be light."
00:07:32.435 --> 00:07:34.971
In the beginning, god created the heavens and the earth.
00:07:34.971 --> 00:07:38.875
The earth was without form and void.
00:07:38.875 --> 00:07:41.077
There was nothing there. void, okay?
00:07:41.077 --> 00:07:44.447
If something is void, that means it's full of nothing.
00:07:44.447 --> 00:07:48.851
And god created the heavens and the earth out of nothing.
00:07:48.851 --> 00:07:53.089
So when you talk about creation,
00:07:53.089 --> 00:07:55.258
You're talking something different than made.
00:07:55.258 --> 00:07:58.427
You're talking about taking something,
00:07:58.427 --> 00:08:00.596
And bringing it out of nothing, all right?
00:08:00.596 --> 00:08:03.199
And when it comes to your life,
00:08:03.199 --> 00:08:05.268
Some of you think you were born in '59, in '68,
00:08:05.268 --> 00:08:09.972
In '73, in '92, in the last 10.
00:08:09.972 --> 00:08:15.311
You were born in 2001, and so on and so forth.
00:08:16.212 --> 00:08:18.614
Whether you're a teenager or whether you're 90 years old,
00:08:18.614 --> 00:08:21.117
You think that that's the time god created you.
00:08:21.117 --> 00:08:23.986
That's not the time god created you.
00:08:23.986 --> 00:08:26.188
Your birthday is the day that god made you.
00:08:26.188 --> 00:08:29.592
In other words, you had a biological mother,
00:08:29.592 --> 00:08:32.628
You had a biological father, excuse me,
00:08:32.628 --> 00:08:35.698
And there was seed and there was womb,
00:08:35.698 --> 00:08:38.167
And god took you and made you out of two things
00:08:38.167 --> 00:08:41.470
That already existed.
00:08:41.470 --> 00:08:43.105
They had a body.
00:08:43.105 --> 00:08:44.373
God took their bodies,
00:08:44.373 --> 00:08:45.641
And when their bodies were consummated,
00:08:45.641 --> 00:08:47.410
He come and gave you a body out of the two bodies
00:08:47.410 --> 00:08:50.680
That they had.
00:08:50.680 --> 00:08:51.814
He gave you life out of the two lives
00:08:51.814 --> 00:08:54.016
That came together that they had.
00:08:54.016 --> 00:08:55.851
So whenever your birthday is,
00:08:55.851 --> 00:08:58.220
That is when you were made, okay?
00:08:58.220 --> 00:09:01.090
The thing that was made is not eternal. it is temporary.
00:09:01.090 --> 00:09:05.227
It is a shell. it is a suit.
00:09:05.227 --> 00:09:08.130
It is not the real you. you are a spirit.
00:09:08.130 --> 00:09:12.969
You are a spirit.
00:09:13.402 --> 00:09:14.670
The bible says you were created in christ
00:09:14.670 --> 00:09:18.741
Before the foundations of the world.
00:09:18.741 --> 00:09:21.744
The bible says that we were chosen in christ jesus
00:09:21.744 --> 00:09:25.615
Before the foundations of the world.
00:09:25.615 --> 00:09:27.783
So in some way, form or fashion,
00:09:27.783 --> 00:09:30.252
Before i ever made it to earth,
00:09:30.252 --> 00:09:32.622
I had some type of existence with god.
00:09:32.622 --> 00:09:35.658
I don't know if i existed in spirit form.
00:09:35.658 --> 00:09:38.327
The bible does not go into detail.
00:09:38.327 --> 00:09:40.563
I don't know if i existed in the mind of god.
00:09:40.563 --> 00:09:43.699
I don't know if i existed in god himself.
00:09:43.699 --> 00:09:46.369
Maybe that's what it was.
00:09:46.369 --> 00:09:47.970
'cause the bible says i was created in christ.
00:09:47.970 --> 00:09:50.940
So somehow i was in god. i was in god's potential.
00:09:50.940 --> 00:09:55.611
You were in god's potential
00:09:55.611 --> 00:09:57.546
Before you ever came into the earth.
00:09:57.546 --> 00:09:59.882
And while you were inside of god,
00:09:59.882 --> 00:10:02.385
God already assigned a time
00:10:02.385 --> 00:10:05.488
Where you would have a lifespan in the earth.
00:10:05.488 --> 00:10:08.524
It would be appointed for you to be born.
00:10:08.524 --> 00:10:11.027
The bible says it's appointed unto one man to die.
00:10:11.027 --> 00:10:13.796
And then it says,
00:10:13.796 --> 00:10:15.064
The steps of a good man are ordered by the lord.
00:10:15.064 --> 00:10:17.066
Good god almighty. i'm already rolling here.
00:10:17.066 --> 00:10:19.735
You need to stay with me. yeah, yeah.
00:10:19.735 --> 00:10:21.137
I need a little organ to start backing me up here,
00:10:21.137 --> 00:10:22.838
'cause i feel this thing
00:10:22.838 --> 00:10:24.206
Beginning to rise on the inside of me.
00:10:24.206 --> 00:10:26.609
There is a time for a man to be born, ecclesiastes 3.
00:10:26.609 --> 00:10:30.346
There is a time for a man to die.
00:10:30.346 --> 00:10:32.748
And then the bible says that in between,
00:10:32.748 --> 00:10:35.151
The steps of a good man are ordered by the lord.
00:10:35.151 --> 00:10:37.987
How can there be an ordering of my steps
00:10:37.987 --> 00:10:40.790
If nobody knows them till i get here?
00:10:40.790 --> 00:10:44.093
There has to be a creator out there that i was in his mind,
00:10:44.093 --> 00:10:48.664
And he made sure that i'm born at the right time.
00:10:48.664 --> 00:10:51.367
He made sure that i lived the right amount of days,
00:10:51.367 --> 00:10:54.070
And he orders my steps in between.
00:10:54.070 --> 00:10:56.772
How many of you in here wanna take comfort in the fact
00:10:56.772 --> 00:10:59.275
I need to take 30 seconds
00:10:59.275 --> 00:11:00.676
That you've got a god that has ordered your steps?
00:11:00.676 --> 00:11:03.646
How many of you are glad
00:11:03.646 --> 00:11:05.014
You are not walking around aimlessly through life?
00:11:05.014 --> 00:11:08.017
For some of you where things have gone bad,
00:11:08.017 --> 00:11:10.386
Or things have gone wrong, let me tell you something.
00:11:10.386 --> 00:11:12.888
Your god has not let go of the steering wheel.
00:11:12.888 --> 00:11:16.225
Your god has not gotten out of the driver's seat.
00:11:16.225 --> 00:11:19.462
Because god is god of the good and god is good of the bad.
00:11:19.462 --> 00:11:24.033
And god takes the good and the bad,
00:11:24.033 --> 00:11:26.435
And makes all the good and the bad work for your good.
00:11:26.435 --> 00:11:30.239
He is the puppet master back behind your life,
00:11:30.239 --> 00:11:33.476
Making sure that nothing that happens in your life
00:11:33.476 --> 00:11:37.079
Is wasted.
00:11:37.079 --> 00:11:38.180
Your deepest hurt, god will use it.
00:11:38.180 --> 00:11:40.716
Your worst pain, god will use it.
00:11:40.716 --> 00:11:43.152
Your most desperate experience, god will use it.
00:11:43.152 --> 00:11:46.255
And the burden that is in your heart right now,
00:11:46.255 --> 00:11:48.924
God is gonna work that thing out for his good.
00:11:48.924 --> 00:11:52.361
I need somebody to tell their neighbor,
00:11:52.361 --> 00:11:54.964
You are not hurting for nothing.
00:11:54.964 --> 00:11:57.066
You're not going through this in vain.
00:11:57.066 --> 00:11:59.401
God has something on the other side you don't know about.
00:11:59.401 --> 00:12:02.671
And this god is greater on the inside of you
00:12:02.671 --> 00:12:06.008
Than what you're going through.
00:12:06.008 --> 00:12:07.610
I need somebody to shout hallelujah!
00:12:07.610 --> 00:12:10.713
Or shout hallelujah in this place.
00:12:10.713 --> 00:12:14.316
If you're gonna come into everything god has for you,
00:12:15.417 --> 00:12:18.454
If you're gonna come into your wealth,
00:12:18.454 --> 00:12:20.256
If you're gonna come into your property,
00:12:20.256 --> 00:12:22.091
If you're gonna come into your success,
00:12:22.091 --> 00:12:24.059
And if it's going to go well with you,
00:12:24.059 --> 00:12:26.195
You're gonna have to get to the point.
00:12:26.195 --> 00:12:27.530
You don't come to me and ask me what's next?
00:12:27.530 --> 00:12:29.899
You are gonna have to ask the holy ghost
00:12:29.899 --> 00:12:32.101
On the inside of you, "what's next?"
00:12:32.101 --> 00:12:34.537

And has an ordering of steps all along the way.
00:13:56.619 --> 00:14:02.591
Are we all on the same page?
00:14:03.192 --> 00:14:04.894
So god created you back here out of nothing.
00:14:05.794 --> 00:14:09.331
And he ordained your life for a destiny
00:14:10.165 --> 00:14:13.702
And purpose once you get here, okay?
00:14:13.702 --> 00:14:17.940
Then your parents biologically came
00:14:17.940 --> 00:14:21.110
And gave you a suit to live in.
00:14:21.110 --> 00:14:23.712
Your body is made of flesh.
00:14:23.712 --> 00:14:25.748
Your flesh is not the real you.
00:14:25.748 --> 00:14:27.850
From dust you came, to dust you shall return.
00:14:27.850 --> 00:14:31.353
And the real you only lives in this shell in the earth
00:14:31.353 --> 00:14:35.691
For a certain period of time.
00:14:35.691 --> 00:14:37.826
The bible says that your citizenship is not in the earth,
00:14:37.826 --> 00:14:42.765
That your citizenship is in heaven.
00:14:42.765 --> 00:14:46.502
So you gotta understand you're visiting here.
00:14:47.436 --> 00:14:50.439
You don't belong here.
00:14:50.439 --> 00:14:52.574
Whoo, i know i'm messing some people's head up.
00:14:52.574 --> 00:14:54.410
Some people ain't never been taught like this.
00:14:54.410 --> 00:14:56.478
Your citizenship is in heaven.
00:14:56.478 --> 00:14:58.614
So if my citizenship is somewhere else,
00:14:58.614 --> 00:15:01.283
Then i'm just taking a visit here,
00:15:01.283 --> 00:15:03.552
Which means i have a visa for a certain amount of time,
00:15:03.552 --> 00:15:07.289
Then i will have to return to my homeland.
00:15:07.289 --> 00:15:09.959
Now as we talk about this right here,
00:15:09.959 --> 00:15:12.294
Let me move on to the next thing.
00:15:12.294 --> 00:15:13.762
You say, "what does this have to do with ruth,
00:15:13.762 --> 00:15:15.531
And being restored, and everything else?"
00:15:15.531 --> 00:15:20.302
When adam sinned,
00:15:20.736 --> 00:15:23.072
He ate from the tree that was full of knowledge.
00:15:23.072 --> 00:15:33.782
Inside that knowledge
00:15:34.283 --> 00:15:36.385
Was information that only god held up until that time.
00:15:37.453 --> 00:15:41.957
The knowledge of good things,
00:15:42.591 --> 00:15:44.960
And the knowledge of evil things.
00:15:45.694 --> 00:15:47.963
Adam did not possess that knowledge before he ate that tree.
00:15:49.231 --> 00:15:52.901
So when adam partook of the tree of the knowledge
00:15:53.902 --> 00:15:58.040
Of good and evil, spiritually, he died.
00:15:58.040 --> 00:16:01.910
And his mind was filled with things
00:16:01.910 --> 00:16:05.347
That were against the knowledge of god.
00:16:05.347 --> 00:16:08.384
So he has a dead spirit, and an unrenewed mind.
00:16:09.318 --> 00:16:13.956
Unrenewed meaning a mind that does not think god thoughts,
00:16:13.956 --> 00:16:17.860
A mind that does not understand who god is,
00:16:17.860 --> 00:16:20.696
Or how god views you, an unrenewable.
00:16:20.696 --> 00:16:24.299
A mind that is more geared toward what destroys you
00:16:24.299 --> 00:16:27.836
Than what blesses you.
00:16:27.836 --> 00:16:30.072
That's what that means.
00:16:30.572 --> 00:16:32.474
So what happens is now we've been created in christ
00:16:32.474 --> 00:16:36.979
To come into this life and have a purpose,
00:16:36.979 --> 00:16:39.148
But we're born with a mind
00:16:39.148 --> 00:16:40.716
That does not understand what that is.
00:16:40.716 --> 00:16:43.685
So some of us, we live 10 years,
00:16:44.319 --> 00:16:46.121
And we got saved as a youth.
00:16:46.121 --> 00:16:48.057
Some of us live 20 years
00:16:48.057 --> 00:16:49.525
And we got saved our first year in college, like me.
00:16:49.525 --> 00:16:52.261
Some of us lived 30 years, some of us lived 40,
00:16:52.261 --> 00:16:54.329
Some of us lived 50, 60.
00:16:54.329 --> 00:16:55.764
We didn't get saved till later in life.
00:16:55.764 --> 00:16:57.900
So let's say that you're at 10, 20, 30.
00:16:57.900 --> 00:17:00.335
Let's say you come to jesus christ, and you're 40 years old.
00:17:00.335 --> 00:17:03.906
That meant you went zero to 40
00:17:03.906 --> 00:17:06.909
And never lived your purpose, okay?
00:17:06.909 --> 00:17:13.048
Now joel 2, i'm just quoting it here,
00:17:13.816 --> 00:17:17.086
'cause i don't have time to go through everything.
00:17:17.086 --> 00:17:19.388
Joel 2, god said, "i will restore the years."
00:17:19.388 --> 00:17:27.429
And he talks about the years
00:17:28.030 --> 00:17:29.164
That the locust have eaten the worm,
00:17:29.164 --> 00:17:30.599
The palmer worm, the canker worm.
00:17:30.599 --> 00:17:32.401
But all that is symbolic terminology
00:17:32.401 --> 00:17:35.304
For the things that came in and took time away from you.
00:17:35.304 --> 00:17:39.875
I want to talk my last few minutes about time.
00:17:40.776 --> 00:17:45.647
We all have something that took time.
00:17:46.448 --> 00:17:51.854
When somebody takes my time, that is the worst kind of pain.
00:17:53.021 --> 00:17:57.626
Don't bother me as bad when they take money
00:17:58.527 --> 00:18:00.996
Because there are avenues to make more money.
00:18:00.996 --> 00:18:04.299
It don't hurt as bad if they take stuff,
00:18:04.299 --> 00:18:07.469
Because there are avenues to get more stuff.
00:18:07.469 --> 00:18:10.539
I have had people take stuff. i have had people steal.
00:18:10.539 --> 00:18:13.775
I've had people rob, i've had people take houses.
00:18:13.775 --> 00:18:16.678
I've had people sue me and take money.
00:18:16.678 --> 00:18:18.380
I've had all kind of losses.
00:18:18.380 --> 00:18:20.983
But i can't stand it when my time is taken from me.
00:18:20.983 --> 00:18:26.321
Because i can get another car, i can get another house,
00:18:27.456 --> 00:18:28.724
I can get another job, i can get another friend,
00:18:28.724 --> 00:18:31.226
I can get some more money.
00:18:31.226 --> 00:18:32.594
God will make avenues for that to come back to me.
00:18:32.594 --> 00:18:35.631
But the bible says that time is an appointment,
00:18:35.631 --> 00:18:38.400
There's a time to live, there's a time to die,
00:18:38.400 --> 00:18:40.903
And my steps are ordered in the middle.
00:18:40.903 --> 00:18:43.238
So when you take time away from me,
00:18:43.238 --> 00:18:45.741
You've taken life away from me.
00:18:45.741 --> 00:18:48.010
And the bible does not promise me an avenue
00:18:48.010 --> 00:18:51.180
By which i can go back and get more time.
00:18:51.180 --> 00:18:53.849
Ah, until we get to joel 2.
00:18:53.849 --> 00:18:56.952
Joel 2, god says this.
00:18:56.952 --> 00:18:59.888
He says, "i will restore to you the years
00:18:59.888 --> 00:19:03.158
That the locusts have eaten."
00:19:03.158 --> 00:19:05.127
So let's say you got saved at 40,
00:19:05.127 --> 00:19:07.596
You are created in christ to have a 120 year life.
00:19:07.596 --> 00:19:11.967
Let's just say what the bible says 120 years.
00:19:11.967 --> 00:19:14.036
Touch your neighbor and say, "i'm gonna live a long time."
00:19:14.036 --> 00:19:16.171
You are gonna have to put up with me a long time.
00:19:16.171 --> 00:19:17.906
So we got 120 years here on the earth.
00:19:17.906 --> 00:19:20.709
And let's just say that out of that 120 years,
00:19:20.709 --> 00:19:23.545
We spent four going crazy, operating in sin, carnal mind,
00:19:23.545 --> 00:19:27.950
Didn't know god, turning our flesh loose, dumb decisions,
00:19:27.950 --> 00:19:31.553
Pain after pain, hurt after hurt, failure after failure,
00:19:31.553 --> 00:19:35.557
Doing dumb thing after dumb thing,
00:19:35.557 --> 00:19:37.893
And we've wasted 40 years.
00:19:37.893 --> 00:19:39.595
Here's what god says.
00:19:39.595 --> 00:19:41.196
God says everything that you lost during your time of sin,
00:19:41.196 --> 00:19:45.133
He says, i will restore to you everything
00:19:45.133 --> 00:19:49.171
That was taken to you, the generational curses
00:19:49.171 --> 00:19:52.040
That you were operating in from your mama and daddy,
00:19:52.040 --> 00:19:54.910
And did not even know it.
00:19:54.910 --> 00:19:56.545
The environment you were in that was destroying you,
00:19:56.545 --> 00:19:59.114
And you didn't even have sense enough to know it.
00:19:59.114 --> 00:20:01.316
The people you ran with that sit back and let you sabotage
00:20:01.316 --> 00:20:05.187
And mass a self-destruct button and didn't even know it.
00:20:05.187 --> 00:20:08.624
God said, "i'll take the time you got left."
00:20:08.624 --> 00:20:11.493
Let's say you got to 90 years old.
00:20:11.493 --> 00:20:13.795
God said, "i'll take the 50 years that you have left,
00:20:13.795 --> 00:20:17.266
And i'll take the 40 and the 50, which is 90,
00:20:17.266 --> 00:20:20.636
And i'll combine 90 years worth of living
00:20:20.636 --> 00:20:23.472
In the 50 years you got left."
00:20:23.472 --> 00:20:25.607
Some of you may have 10 years left, and god says,
00:20:25.607 --> 00:20:28.577
"i'll take everything that you missed,
00:20:28.577 --> 00:20:31.013
And mash it all in the 10 years.
00:20:31.013 --> 00:20:33.348
I'll take the 20 that you missed, and take the 20,
00:20:33.348 --> 00:20:36.318
And what you got left, and mash it all together."
00:20:36.318 --> 00:20:39.187
In other words, god said,
00:20:39.187 --> 00:20:40.555
"what should have blessed you the whole time,
00:20:40.555 --> 00:20:43.292
I'll take what you missed
00:20:43.292 --> 00:20:44.893
And mash it into the blessing that you still got coming."
00:20:44.893 --> 00:20:48.230
I came to tell somebody you need to get ready
00:20:48.230 --> 00:20:53.468
For unprecedented breakthrough.
00:20:54.102 --> 00:20:55.871
You need to get ready for unprecedented blessing.
00:20:55.871 --> 00:20:59.574
Because god has recorded everything
00:20:59.574 --> 00:21:02.878
That was taken from you by the enemy.
00:21:02.878 --> 00:21:05.347
God has recorded everything that you lost,
00:21:05.347 --> 00:21:08.850
And everything through decisions
00:21:08.850 --> 00:21:10.852
That you've made when you didn't even know any better.
00:21:10.852 --> 00:21:13.689
And god says, i am about (speaking in tongues)
00:21:13.689 --> 00:21:18.026
God said, "i'm about to give you back
00:21:18.026 --> 00:21:20.729
Not only what you're supposed to get in your future,
00:21:20.729 --> 00:21:23.632
But what you lost in your past.
00:21:23.632 --> 00:21:25.867
I'm gonna put the two together,
00:21:25.867 --> 00:21:27.703
And mash it in the time you've got left."
00:21:27.703 --> 00:21:31.406
If you've got something coming back to you,
00:21:31.406 --> 00:21:34.843
I'm going to give you 15 seconds to stand on your feet
00:21:34.843 --> 00:21:39.047
And bless the name of the lord your god.
00:21:39.047 --> 00:21:41.883
Come on, bless him. hit that organ, brother!
00:21:41.883 --> 00:21:44.086
Hallelujah!
00:21:44.086 --> 00:21:46.788
Hallelujah!
00:21:47.122 --> 00:21:49.024
Hallelujah! come on, seven more seconds.
00:21:49.891 --> 00:21:52.828
Hallelujah! you got something coming.
00:21:52.828 --> 00:21:55.931
That's something the enemy owes you. five, hallelujah.
00:21:55.931 --> 00:21:59.368
Four, three, two, shout amen in this place! whoo!
00:21:59.368 --> 00:22:07.609
I want you to high five two or three people, and just say,
00:22:08.777 --> 00:22:11.580
"god's gonna give it all back.
00:22:11.580 --> 00:22:13.815
God's gonna give it all back."
00:22:14.449 --> 00:22:16.184
And when you've done your neighbor,
00:22:16.184 --> 00:22:17.686
I want you to look down the row and point at somebody
00:22:17.686 --> 00:22:18.653
And say, "just wanna tell you,
00:22:18.653 --> 00:22:20.122
God's going to give it all back."
00:22:20.122 --> 00:22:21.990
Yeah, god. you know that stuff you lost last year?
00:22:21.990 --> 00:22:24.893
Yeah, it's coming back to you.
00:22:24.893 --> 00:22:26.395
Actually time it by seven,
00:22:26.395 --> 00:22:28.530
Because god said whatever the thief has stolen,
00:22:28.530 --> 00:22:30.999
I'll make him give it back seven times.
00:22:30.999 --> 00:22:33.635
Some of you need to go back,
00:22:33.635 --> 00:22:35.270
And put seven times on your refrigerator,
00:22:35.270 --> 00:22:37.906
Put some lipstick on the mirror
00:22:37.906 --> 00:22:39.775
While you're doing your makeup just to remind yourself,
00:22:39.775 --> 00:22:42.244
I'm getting it back seven times, hallelujah!
00:22:42.244 --> 00:22:49.951
There are seven, excuse me,
00:22:50.552 --> 00:22:52.120
Several principles to restoration.
00:22:52.120 --> 00:22:55.857
There can be nothing restored if there's not loss.
00:22:56.892 --> 00:23:03.899
Excuse me.
00:23:04.199 --> 00:23:05.500
The word restored does not even make sense,
00:23:05.500 --> 00:23:08.770
Unless there's been loss.
00:23:09.337 --> 00:23:15.343
Some of you need to track losses.
00:23:16.011 --> 00:23:18.246
I didn't say go remember pain.
00:23:18.246 --> 00:23:20.315
I didn't say go make yourself feel angry again.
00:23:20.315 --> 00:23:23.185
I didn't say go well up in bitterness and unforgiveness.
00:23:23.185 --> 00:23:26.188
But you need to track direct losses.
00:23:26.188 --> 00:23:29.658
Because you gotta understand,
00:23:29.658 --> 00:23:31.193
I'm not just trying to fire you up and get you excited.
00:23:31.193 --> 00:23:33.962
This is a covenant promise from god.
00:23:33.962 --> 00:23:37.265
I will give you back things, and i will give you back time.
00:23:37.265 --> 00:23:42.003
Now, there may be some in here saying, "you know what?
00:23:42.003 --> 00:23:44.139
That's good preaching. i'm enjoying it.
00:23:44.139 --> 00:23:45.907
And i'm gonna get me something to eat after this
00:23:45.907 --> 00:23:47.476
And going home."
00:23:47.476 --> 00:23:48.410
But there's some others in here
00:23:48.410 --> 00:23:49.744
Who they have experienced significant loss,
00:23:49.744 --> 00:23:52.214
And the only thing they've got to hold onto
00:23:52.214 --> 00:23:54.649
Is the promise that i'm talking about right now.
00:23:54.649 --> 00:23:57.052
That god says, "i'll restore to you the things
00:23:57.052 --> 00:23:59.621
That have been taken by the enemy.
00:23:59.621 --> 00:24:01.156
And i'll restore to you the time
00:24:01.156 --> 00:24:02.858
That the locust have eaten."
00:24:02.858 --> 00:24:05.760
(upbeat music)
00:24:06.127 --> 00:24:15.270
(upbeat music continues)
00:24:15.770 --> 00:24:25.881
(upbeat music continues)
00:24:26.381 --> 00:24:35.557
If you're gonna come into everything god has for you,
00:24:36.658 --> 00:24:39.694
If you're gonna come into your wealth,
00:24:39.694 --> 00:24:41.530
If you're gonna come into your property,
00:24:41.530 --> 00:24:43.365
If you're gonna come into your success,
00:24:43.365 --> 00:24:45.333
And if it's going to go well with you,
00:24:45.333 --> 00:24:47.435
You're gonna have to get to the point.
00:24:47.435 --> 00:24:48.837
You don't come to me, and ask me "what's next?"
00:24:48.837 --> 00:24:51.606
You're gonna have to ask the holy ghost
00:24:51.606 --> 00:24:53.341
On the inside of you "what's next?"
00:24:53.341 --> 00:24:55.744

I just love to be able to preach the whole thing
00:25:38.720 --> 00:25:40.322

If you can handle that much of it,
00:25:54.402 --> 00:25:55.704
I don't know that i could, or my wife could,
00:25:55.704 --> 00:25:57.539
But maybe you say "i want to listen to more."
00:25:57.539 --> 00:26:00.342
We've got the vault.
00:26:00.342 --> 00:26:02.077

To whatever words you need to hear at whatever time.
00:26:10.752 --> 00:26:13.221
I also wanna tell those of you, if you would,
00:26:13.221 --> 00:26:14.889
To become social media savvy,
00:26:14.889 --> 00:26:17.025
Because you can get a whole lot more
00:26:17.025 --> 00:26:18.593

And dig it even deeper.
00:26:30.605 --> 00:26:32.340
And last but not least,
00:26:32.340 --> 00:26:33.808
I wanna speak to all those who have helped redemption
00:26:33.808 --> 00:26:36.244
And helped ron carpenter ministries
00:26:36.244 --> 00:26:38.179
And everything that i've been a part of,
00:26:38.179 --> 00:26:40.048
For all these wonderful years.
00:26:40.048 --> 00:26:41.783
Ron carpenter television is here
00:26:41.783 --> 00:26:43.418
Because of the people who believed in it, who pray for us,
00:26:43.418 --> 00:26:46.321
And who support us and who give.
00:26:46.321 --> 00:26:48.156
And that's just the bottom line.
00:26:48.156 --> 00:26:50.091
People who say, "i want this to continue,
00:26:50.091 --> 00:26:52.360
And it's been a blessing to me,
00:26:52.360 --> 00:26:54.129
And somebody paid the bills for it to get to me.
00:26:54.129 --> 00:26:56.831
Somebody sowed the seed for it to get to me.
00:26:56.831 --> 00:26:59.267
Now i'm gonna respond and believe that my seed
00:26:59.267 --> 00:27:02.270
Is gonna help it get to somebody else."

We are doing everything we can to take this message of jesus

00:27:07.809 --> 00:27:10.812
Would you help us?
00:27:10.812 --> 00:27:12.414
Maybe you've never given to a ministry before in your life.
00:27:12.414 --> 00:27:14.582
There's always a first.
00:27:14.582 --> 00:27:15.917
And whether you've been giving,
00:27:15.917 --> 00:27:17.285
And i'm saying another thank you,
00:27:17.285 --> 00:27:18.586
Or whether this is your first time,
00:27:18.586 --> 00:27:20.588
And you'd like to give a one-time gift,
00:27:20.588 --> 00:27:22.090
Or become a monthly partner,

We have this gift we're gonna send back to you
00:27:23.391 --> 00:27:25.560

We want you to be a part of this family.

And we want to all do something special together.
00:27:32.434 --> 00:27:35.870
But i do need your help. god bless you for all that you do.
00:27:35.870 --> 00:27:39.641
I'm believing that next time i see you,
00:27:39.641 --> 00:27:41.209
Things will be better than they were this time.
00:27:41.209 --> 00:27:43.511
And i'd like to say until then,
