Ron Carpenter | Ron Carpenter - Encounter (Part 7) | April 13, 2026

(screen beeps)
00:00:51.217 --> 00:00:00.884
(upbeat music)
00:00:01.251 --> 00:00:16.666
- i wanna wish everyone a great day,
00:00:17.434 --> 00:00:19.369
A great evening, a great night.
00:00:19.369 --> 00:00:21.337
You know, this thing goes forth
00:00:21.337 --> 00:00:22.539
In so many different time zones
00:00:22.539 --> 00:00:24.541
In 123 countries around the world.
00:00:24.541 --> 00:00:27.343
There's no telling what time we're showing up,
00:00:27.343 --> 00:00:29.446
But i wanna tell you, this is the day god made.
00:00:29.446 --> 00:00:31.247
God is in charge of making the day.
00:00:31.247 --> 00:00:33.483
The sun will rise in the morning
00:00:33.483 --> 00:00:35.618
And his mercies are new every morning.
00:00:35.618 --> 00:00:37.187
Then here's my responsibility.
00:00:37.187 --> 00:00:38.822
I will rejoice and i will be glad in it.
00:00:38.822 --> 00:00:41.424
So i don't know if it's a good day
00:00:41.424 --> 00:00:42.959
Or whether it's one of those not so good days,
00:00:42.959 --> 00:00:45.762
But you don't get to control whether or not the sun rises.
00:00:45.762 --> 00:00:48.164
You get to control how you will respond.
00:00:48.164 --> 00:00:50.433
This is the day the lord has made.
00:00:50.433 --> 00:00:51.701
I will rejoice and be glad in it.
00:00:51.701 --> 00:00:53.103
And what's another thing you can do?
00:00:53.103 --> 00:00:55.071
Another thing you can do is you can shift your mind.
00:00:55.071 --> 00:00:56.940
We're talking about exposure.
00:00:56.940 --> 00:00:59.042
You can't outlive your mind.
00:00:59.042 --> 00:01:00.710
You can't outlive what you know.
00:01:00.710 --> 00:01:02.312
You can't outlive what you've been exposed to.
00:01:02.312 --> 00:01:05.248
You can't run ahead of what you've been taught.
00:01:05.248 --> 00:01:08.051
And so many times we think that the miraculous
00:01:08.051 --> 00:01:10.320
Only comes through in some breakthrough from god,
00:01:10.320 --> 00:01:13.056
Some breakthrough suddenly from heaven.
00:01:13.056 --> 00:01:15.525
But a lot of times it's just in a golden nugget of truth
00:01:15.525 --> 00:01:19.028
That someone can drop in your life.
00:01:19.028 --> 00:01:20.697
I have often made this statement, and i'll say it again,
00:01:20.697 --> 00:01:23.333
Sometime you're just one or two decisions away
00:01:23.333 --> 00:01:26.603
From huge, huge breakthroughs in your life.
00:01:26.603 --> 00:01:29.272
Where do those decisions come from?
00:01:29.272 --> 00:01:30.640
They come from people dropping truth,
00:01:30.640 --> 00:01:33.343
Dropping something you didn't know,
00:01:33.343 --> 00:01:34.878
Dropping wisdom in your life.
00:01:34.878 --> 00:01:36.479
And you have to have ears that are attentive
00:01:36.479 --> 00:01:38.481
And recognize when those voices are speaking.
00:01:38.481 --> 00:01:41.050
Let's study ruth's life a little bit more
00:01:41.050 --> 00:01:43.453
As we're beginning to draw to the end
00:01:43.453 --> 00:01:45.388
Of what's been happening in her life
00:01:45.388 --> 00:01:46.856
As we're seeing this wonderful coming together
00:01:46.856 --> 00:01:49.359
Of everything god intended for.
00:01:49.359 --> 00:01:51.394
She's about to come into the restoration of all she's lost
00:01:51.394 --> 00:01:54.664
And the inheritance that god has had for her the whole time.
00:01:54.664 --> 00:01:57.867
Let's talk about it. exposure.
00:01:57.867 --> 00:01:59.936
Mark 2, if you'll gimme about 30 minutes here,
00:02:00.837 --> 00:02:06.009
I left last week feeling like
00:02:06.643 --> 00:02:08.444
I had shortchanged you a little bit
00:02:08.444 --> 00:02:11.814
Because the message is maybe the most important message
00:02:12.916 --> 00:02:21.791
Of the entire year as i culminate the series.
00:02:22.725 --> 00:02:25.161
And i was gonna start the christmas messages today.
00:02:25.161 --> 00:02:27.197
I have two of them.
00:02:27.197 --> 00:02:28.531
Now, i don't know what i'm gonna preach them.
00:02:28.531 --> 00:02:29.799
I may come back the week after christmas
00:02:29.799 --> 00:02:31.234
And preach a christmas message.
00:02:31.234 --> 00:02:33.303
I got two of them and they're both hot.
00:02:33.303 --> 00:02:35.505
And i was gonna start one today and one next week.
00:02:36.539 --> 00:02:38.208
But last night, i started going over my notes
00:02:38.208 --> 00:02:41.244
And god called me back and again early this morning.
00:02:41.244 --> 00:02:44.180
I think everything i said last week was usurped
00:02:45.181 --> 00:02:47.784
By the announcement.
00:02:47.784 --> 00:02:49.219
Because everything i saw being talked about on social media,
00:02:50.420 --> 00:02:52.488
None of it was about the message.
00:02:52.488 --> 00:02:54.557
And i don't want the message of what i preach to get lost
00:02:55.692 --> 00:02:59.529
In everything else because
00:02:59.529 --> 00:03:02.665
Last week's message is how i've gotten where i am.
00:03:03.700 --> 00:03:10.673
Everybody that interviewed me last week
00:03:11.474 --> 00:03:13.710
From the local newspaper to the national news,
00:03:13.710 --> 00:03:17.447
Did you ever think it, this would be a worldwide ministry?
00:03:18.615 --> 00:03:22.585
And i just spit, pfft!
00:03:22.585 --> 00:03:24.954
No, i was just trying to pay the utility bill.
00:03:25.888 --> 00:03:30.893
How did it move this far?
00:03:31.461 --> 00:03:34.430
How did it pay for all this stuff?
00:03:35.198 --> 00:03:37.667
How did it affect this many people?
00:03:38.468 --> 00:03:41.070
How do hundreds of thousands watch us live?
00:03:41.938 --> 00:03:44.874
How did that happen?
00:03:45.341 --> 00:03:47.043
To a 22-year-old, never could have been,
00:03:47.877 --> 00:03:50.246
Never should have been,
00:03:50.246 --> 00:03:51.547
And never voted most likely to do anything,
00:03:51.547 --> 00:03:54.284
How did that kind of stuff happen?
00:03:55.051 --> 00:03:57.987
How does a idol worship and ruth
00:03:58.621 --> 00:04:01.524
Pick up leftovers in a field and own the field?
00:04:02.458 --> 00:04:07.864
And last week's principle, i'm gonna take about 30 minutes
00:04:09.032 --> 00:04:13.136
And i'm gonna take about 10 minutes
00:04:13.136 --> 00:04:14.871
And know you're not hearing a rerun so don't cut off on me.
00:04:14.871 --> 00:04:18.141
But i want to go back and i wanna relive that thing
00:04:19.208 --> 00:04:22.412
And i wanna finish it 'cause i just,
00:04:22.412 --> 00:04:24.747
I felt like it got lost in everything else.
00:04:24.747 --> 00:04:27.383
And i think that would be a tragedy
00:04:27.383 --> 00:04:29.118
If i went through the whole 2017 year
00:04:29.118 --> 00:04:31.821
And left off the culminating truth.
00:04:31.821 --> 00:04:34.324
Mark 2:2, excuse me, verse 20,
00:04:34.957 --> 00:04:40.229
Mark 2:20.
00:04:40.530 --> 00:04:42.498
For the sake of time, let's go into 21.
00:04:43.366 --> 00:04:45.401
"no one sews a piece of unshrunk cloth
00:04:45.401 --> 00:04:48.504
On an old garment; or else the new piece pulls away
00:04:49.505 --> 00:04:52.008
From the old and the tear is made worse."
00:04:52.008 --> 00:04:54.844
The new thing will not take the old thing and pull it up.
00:04:56.012 --> 00:05:01.351
The old thing will take the new thing and pull it down.
00:05:02.485 --> 00:05:08.658
If you try to sew old things into new things,
00:05:09.592 --> 00:05:13.730
That's why when you got saved, god didn't let you remain you
00:05:13.730 --> 00:05:17.934
And throw a little makeup on you.
00:05:17.934 --> 00:05:19.802
He said, you are a whole new creation.
00:05:19.802 --> 00:05:22.972
He didn't take a new experience and tap it on your old life.
00:05:22.972 --> 00:05:28.244
He made you something all together new.
00:05:29.112 --> 00:05:31.547
You can't put a new piece of cloth and sew it on an old one
00:05:32.715 --> 00:05:35.785
Or it'll pull away and the tear is made worse.
00:05:35.785 --> 00:05:37.453
"and no one puts new wine into old wineskins;
00:05:37.453 --> 00:05:42.792
Or else the new wine bursts the wineskins,
00:05:43.693 --> 00:05:45.528
The wine is spilled, and the wineskins are ruined.
00:05:45.528 --> 00:05:49.832
But new wine must be put into new wineskins."
00:05:50.733 --> 00:05:56.439
Lord, bless your word in jesus' name.
00:05:57.206 --> 00:05:58.908
And everybody said, amen. - [in unison] amen.
00:05:58.908 --> 00:06:01.277
- talk to your neighbor back and forth to them
00:06:01.277 --> 00:06:02.578
And tell them, say this will change your life
00:06:02.578 --> 00:06:04.180
If you'll pay attention.
00:06:04.180 --> 00:06:05.415
Tell them, this will change your life.
00:06:05.415 --> 00:06:10.486
I'm excited about this one.
00:06:11.087 --> 00:06:13.222
Because last week i was dreading it,
00:06:13.222 --> 00:06:15.358
But i done got that out the way, now i can really preach.
00:06:16.526 --> 00:06:18.594
Is that all right? - [audience] all right.
00:06:18.594 --> 00:06:20.696
- i feel lighter, i feel lifted.
00:06:20.696 --> 00:06:24.834
Somebody called me this week and needed my advice,
00:06:25.868 --> 00:06:28.104
One of my spiritual sons.
00:06:28.104 --> 00:06:29.639
You know, very difficult place, he's in a building program,
00:06:29.639 --> 00:06:32.475
Run out of money, that's typical.
00:06:32.475 --> 00:06:34.677
I've done that on every one of them, i think.
00:06:34.677 --> 00:06:38.514
And i told him, i said, the best thing
00:06:39.315 --> 00:06:41.017
I can tell you is what i would do.
00:06:41.017 --> 00:06:43.453
I have no greater advice than the advice
00:06:44.287 --> 00:06:49.125
Of what i would do if i was in your situation.
00:06:49.125 --> 00:06:52.161
And i proceeded to tell him
00:06:52.762 --> 00:06:54.197
That if those were ron carpenter's circumstances,
00:06:54.197 --> 00:06:57.533
These are exactly the decisions i would make
00:06:57.533 --> 00:06:59.469
And the steps i would take.
00:06:59.469 --> 00:07:03.473
The message on wine and wineskins
00:07:04.207 --> 00:07:07.710
Have literally been probably,
00:07:08.344 --> 00:07:10.913
If i told you what was one of the stories of my life,
00:07:10.913 --> 00:07:13.583
If i picked out the top four or five things,
00:07:13.583 --> 00:07:16.586
It would be this particular truth
00:07:16.586 --> 00:07:18.287
Allowing me to move from one season of my life to another.
00:07:18.287 --> 00:07:21.824
The same holds true with you
00:07:21.824 --> 00:07:23.793
Because god does not love ron carpenter more than you.
00:07:23.793 --> 00:07:26.896
But it was the fact that god was kind enough
00:07:27.797 --> 00:07:30.066
For somebody to come and teach this to me
00:07:30.066 --> 00:07:31.901
When i was in bible school.
00:07:31.901 --> 00:07:33.636
I went to bible school in a small place in georgia
00:07:34.670 --> 00:07:36.939
And i had a preacher out of athens, georgia sit me down
00:07:36.939 --> 00:07:40.076
And teach me the principle of wine and wineskins.
00:07:40.076 --> 00:07:43.412
And up till that time,
00:07:43.412 --> 00:07:44.747
It was just something i'd read in the bible
00:07:44.747 --> 00:07:46.048
And honestly, it meant absolutely nothing.
00:07:46.048 --> 00:07:48.651
But i've taught you in the kingdom,
00:07:49.452 --> 00:07:51.187
Whenever you see jesus use agriculture,
00:07:51.187 --> 00:07:56.425
When he talks about mustard seeds,
00:07:57.193 --> 00:07:59.729
When he talks about sheep, when he talks about goats,
00:07:59.729 --> 00:08:02.798
When he talks about gates,
00:08:02.798 --> 00:08:04.000
When he talks about the sheep pen,
00:08:04.000 --> 00:08:05.701
When he talks about grapes, when he talks about figs,
00:08:05.701 --> 00:08:09.105
When he talks about fish, when he talks about wine,
00:08:09.105 --> 00:08:11.874
When he talks about wineskin, god's not,
00:08:11.874 --> 00:08:14.143
Jesus is not talking about agriculture.
00:08:14.143 --> 00:08:16.412
And in mark 2, he's not trying to give us a lesson
00:08:16.412 --> 00:08:18.881
On wine preservation.
00:08:18.881 --> 00:08:21.083
Whenever jesus is trying to communicate a truth
00:08:22.018 --> 00:08:26.289
That is highly spiritual, he grabs a hold of a language
00:08:26.289 --> 00:08:31.561
That the people can understand
00:08:32.194 --> 00:08:34.564
And he's trying to tell them a key in the spirit
00:08:34.564 --> 00:08:38.568
On a level that they can hear it and understand it.
00:08:38.568 --> 00:08:42.405
That has been my attempt at scripture for almost 30 years.
00:08:42.405 --> 00:08:47.276
Is everything in that bible is not easy.
00:08:47.276 --> 00:08:50.613
But i don't try to come out here
00:08:50.613 --> 00:08:51.881
And preach things that are hard.
00:08:51.881 --> 00:08:53.516
I try to take difficult things and make it easy.
00:08:53.516 --> 00:08:56.352
Because as a master teacher,
00:08:56.352 --> 00:08:57.920
That's what i wanna strive to do.
00:08:57.920 --> 00:08:59.789
I wanna be a master teacher, one who can repetition it,
00:08:59.789 --> 00:09:02.525
One who's lived it and one who can break it down
00:09:02.525 --> 00:09:04.527
And make it simple so that everybody can do it.
00:09:04.527 --> 00:09:07.563
A great teacher is not somebody
00:09:07.563 --> 00:09:09.131
Who tells me difficult things, a great teacher is somebody
00:09:09.131 --> 00:09:12.201
That takes difficulty and makes it easy for me to learn it.
00:09:12.201 --> 00:09:15.371
Okay?
00:09:15.371 --> 00:09:16.639
So jesus is talking a kingdom truth.
00:09:16.639 --> 00:09:20.910
Matthew, mark, luke, and john,
00:09:20.910 --> 00:09:22.545
Those four guys chronicle the life of jesus
00:09:22.545 --> 00:09:25.615
And all four of them pick a different starting place
00:09:25.615 --> 00:09:28.150
At where they start telling jesus's story.
00:09:28.150 --> 00:09:30.653
Mark starts off telling
00:09:30.653 --> 00:09:32.755
These first words out of jesus' lips.
00:09:32.755 --> 00:09:35.992
That jesus came right out of the gate
00:09:35.992 --> 00:09:38.127
Because he was being questioned by people in church
00:09:38.127 --> 00:09:41.631
Who would learn to keep the law
00:09:41.631 --> 00:09:43.666
And learn to keep traditions.
00:09:43.666 --> 00:09:45.468
They came out of the gate fussing at him
00:09:45.468 --> 00:09:47.870
And pointing fingers at him
00:09:47.870 --> 00:09:49.405
Because he was not keeping all the rules like they did.
00:09:49.405 --> 00:09:52.274
And jesus said, you can't put new wine in old wineskins.
00:09:52.274 --> 00:09:57.647
Jesus, in fact, what he was saying is,
00:09:58.447 --> 00:10:00.650
I am here to fulfill the law.
00:10:00.650 --> 00:10:03.119
And when i die, all of your 615 rules
00:10:03.119 --> 00:10:07.590
Are going to be abolished
00:10:07.590 --> 00:10:08.891
And now all you gotta do is believe in me.
00:10:08.891 --> 00:10:11.160
And if you believe in me,
00:10:11.160 --> 00:10:12.528
You've kept every one of them rules.
00:10:12.528 --> 00:10:14.897
So all i've got to do now is accept jesus christ.
00:10:14.897 --> 00:10:18.668
And every requirement god ever had for us is met in jesus
00:10:18.668 --> 00:10:23.572
And all i got to do is accept him as my lord and savior
00:10:23.572 --> 00:10:26.742
And then me and god's all right.
00:10:26.742 --> 00:10:28.744
Ain't that amazing? you need to clap for that right there.
00:10:28.744 --> 00:10:32.148
(audience applauding) that deserves clapping.
00:10:32.148 --> 00:10:34.150
I'm glad we didn't come here today and we gotta kill sheep
00:10:34.150 --> 00:10:36.819
And goats and bulls and pigeons
00:10:36.819 --> 00:10:38.788
And have blood everywhere and everything.
00:10:38.788 --> 00:10:41.090
I'm glad you didn't have to bring a sheep
00:10:41.090 --> 00:10:43.092
For every member of your family and for their sins
00:10:43.092 --> 00:10:45.661
Until the next time we get together.
00:10:45.661 --> 00:10:47.697
But jesus, the one time spotless lamb died
00:10:47.697 --> 00:10:50.833
And has forever taken care of my sins
00:10:50.833 --> 00:10:53.302
And i am so grateful that i'm not living
00:10:53.302 --> 00:10:55.738
Under a law of trying to be good enough
00:10:55.738 --> 00:10:58.207
But i just live under the law of grace.
00:10:58.207 --> 00:11:00.876
Somebody shout grace. grace. grace.
00:11:00.876 --> 00:11:03.012
It is by grace you have been saved.
00:11:03.012 --> 00:11:06.949
If you're gonna come into everything god has for you,
00:11:08.050 --> 00:11:11.087
If you're gonna come into your wealth,
00:11:11.087 --> 00:11:12.922
If you're gonna come into your property,
00:11:12.922 --> 00:11:14.724
If you're gonna come into your success,
00:11:14.724 --> 00:11:16.659
And if it's going to go well with you,
00:11:16.659 --> 00:11:18.828
You're gonna have to get to the point.
00:11:18.828 --> 00:11:20.129
You don't come to me and ask me what's next?
00:11:20.129 --> 00:11:22.965
You are gonna have to ask the holy ghost
00:11:22.965 --> 00:11:24.667
On the inside of you, what's next.
00:11:24.667 --> 00:11:27.103
- [narrator] in this series, ron carpenter exposes you
00:11:27.103 --> 00:11:29.839
To blessings you thought were potentially beyond your reach.

- but there are a people of god
00:11:33.342 --> 00:11:35.511
That are being raised back up to glory
00:11:35.511 --> 00:11:37.880
And god wants to stand behind what they say.
00:11:37.880 --> 00:11:40.649
You need to get ready for unprecedented blessing.
00:11:40.649 --> 00:11:44.019
I'm ready for what my father's got
00:11:44.019 --> 00:11:46.322
Because i am a fully mature son led by the spirit of god.

(upbeat music)
00:12:08.210 --> 00:12:38.707
- so jesus came back at him saying, i am a new wine,
00:12:39.775 --> 00:12:46.115
But you're trying to take me and stick me in an old mindset.
00:12:47.283 --> 00:12:52.221
And he's saying, you can't stick me the new thing
00:12:53.222 --> 00:12:57.526
In your mindset, which is a bunch of rules, the old thing.
00:12:58.694 --> 00:13:01.864
He said, you are gonna have to change the container
00:13:02.898 --> 00:13:05.801
Or i'll never fit.
00:13:05.801 --> 00:13:10.472
This is so powerful.
00:13:10.940 --> 00:13:13.175
I hope you feel something in your spirit begin to simmer
00:13:13.175 --> 00:13:16.879
Because i'm gonna tell you, there's a secret right here,
00:13:16.879 --> 00:13:19.582
Behind what i'm trying to tell you.
00:13:19.582 --> 00:13:21.717
Pastor taverner was here, one of my sons in the faith,
00:13:22.785 --> 00:13:24.854
He was here last week just to be with me, him and his wife.
00:13:24.854 --> 00:13:27.623
And by the way, they get in their new building,
00:13:27.623 --> 00:13:29.925
Next week in chattanooga thousand seat building.
00:13:29.925 --> 00:13:32.161
They move in at christmas eve. doing a great job.
00:13:32.161 --> 00:13:36.131
And he told me, he said, that little thing
00:13:36.999 --> 00:13:38.267
You wrote on the board really helped me.
00:13:38.267 --> 00:13:39.869
So i said, all right, all these folk that make fun of me
00:13:39.869 --> 00:13:43.205
For my writing and my little drawing on the board.
00:13:44.240 --> 00:13:46.108
I said, i'm gonna tell them how much i helped somebody.
00:13:46.108 --> 00:13:48.143
Hallelujah!
00:13:48.143 --> 00:13:49.311
Now i'm reviewing, i'm still reviewing,
00:13:50.145 --> 00:13:51.447
But if i got some new stuff i'm gonna get to.
00:13:51.447 --> 00:13:53.148
But stay with me here.
00:13:53.148 --> 00:13:54.483
We gotta get this truth down.
00:13:54.483 --> 00:13:56.986
Jesus brings up two topics and they're entirely different.
00:13:58.153 --> 00:14:01.223
Let me review.
00:14:01.223 --> 00:14:02.925
The wine is god made.
00:14:02.925 --> 00:14:05.527
Okay?
00:14:05.761 --> 00:14:07.363
The wine is not going to change.
00:14:07.997 --> 00:14:10.232
It's not subject to change
00:14:10.232 --> 00:14:12.534
And it's eternal.
00:14:12.968 --> 00:14:15.804
But the wineskin on the other hand is manmade.
00:14:16.705 --> 00:14:20.876
Okay?
00:14:21.110 --> 00:14:22.645
It is subject to change
00:14:23.145 --> 00:14:26.382
And it's temporary.
00:14:26.849 --> 00:14:29.451
And jesus said, these have to work hand in hand.
00:14:30.452 --> 00:14:33.856
God almighty, i'm feeling this thing.
00:14:34.657 --> 00:14:36.425
Help them get it, lord, help them get it.
00:14:36.425 --> 00:14:39.261
The principle that i teach
00:14:39.828 --> 00:14:42.031
That i told you i forgot the first service or second service
00:14:42.031 --> 00:14:45.067
That i taught this when i first started teaching it,
00:14:45.067 --> 00:14:47.536
I was in a building about this size
00:14:47.536 --> 00:14:50.105
At a pastor's conference.
00:14:50.105 --> 00:14:51.473
And the next guy who came up to speak after me
00:14:51.473 --> 00:14:53.309
Publicly rebuked me.
00:14:53.309 --> 00:14:55.144
And i was sitting on the front row
00:14:55.144 --> 00:14:57.513
Because he had a former mindset, he couldn't change.
00:14:57.513 --> 00:15:00.716
And it's this principle right here.
00:15:00.716 --> 00:15:03.118
Heaven responds to earth.
00:15:03.686 --> 00:15:07.790
Heaven responds to earth.
00:15:08.357 --> 00:15:10.526
Inside this building and people that i'm talking to,
00:15:11.593 --> 00:15:13.796
There is a cry, inside of people.
00:15:13.796 --> 00:15:17.132
You want god to do something.
00:15:17.132 --> 00:15:19.768
You want god to change something.
00:15:19.768 --> 00:15:21.837
You want god to change somebody.
00:15:21.837 --> 00:15:24.039
You want god to change a situation that is difficult,
00:15:24.039 --> 00:15:26.909
Adversarial or uncomfortable.
00:15:26.909 --> 00:15:28.911
You want god to change things.
00:15:28.911 --> 00:15:30.746
You want god to change your economy.
00:15:30.746 --> 00:15:32.915
You want god to change your marriage.
00:15:32.915 --> 00:15:35.184
You want god to change your work environment.
00:15:35.184 --> 00:15:37.453
You want god to change your last doctor's reports.
00:15:37.453 --> 00:15:39.922
You want god, there's everything you want god to change.
00:15:39.922 --> 00:15:43.258
And so we want heaven to move and then we will respond.
00:15:43.258 --> 00:15:48.497
Not understanding that the opposite is true.
00:15:49.431 --> 00:15:51.934
Throw 2 corinthians 4 up there if you would.
00:15:51.934 --> 00:15:53.836
Guys, let me read that
00:15:53.836 --> 00:15:55.237
And i'll try to prove my point a little bit further.
00:15:55.237 --> 00:15:57.172
Hallelujah!
00:15:57.172 --> 00:15:58.640
2 corinthians 4, i think, verse 18 i believe it was.
00:15:58.640 --> 00:16:01.844
2 corinthians 4:18. there we go.
00:16:01.844 --> 00:16:03.812
"while we do not look at the things which are seen,
00:16:03.812 --> 00:16:06.949
But the things which are not seen.
00:16:06.949 --> 00:16:08.217
For the things which are seen are temporary,
00:16:08.217 --> 00:16:10.652
But the things which are not seen are eternal."
00:16:10.652 --> 00:16:12.888
Roll with me here. okay?
00:16:12.888 --> 00:16:14.957
Now this scripture says everything that you can see
00:16:14.957 --> 00:16:18.694
Comes out of what you can't see.
00:16:18.694 --> 00:16:20.562
See, say, pastor, it looks like that's contradicting
00:16:20.562 --> 00:16:22.531
What you're saying; no it's not.
00:16:22.531 --> 00:16:24.266
God made the heavens, then he made the earth.
00:16:24.266 --> 00:16:28.003
There was god. and then out of god came adam.
00:16:28.003 --> 00:16:31.306
He said, let us make man in our image.
00:16:31.306 --> 00:16:33.442
Everything in the material came out of the spirit realm.
00:16:33.442 --> 00:16:37.613
So everything you can't see
00:16:38.213 --> 00:16:40.349
Was the parrot of everything you can see.
00:16:40.349 --> 00:16:43.285
The earth physically came out of the heavens,
00:16:43.285 --> 00:16:45.821
Which are invisible.
00:16:45.821 --> 00:16:47.356
Adam physically came out of the god, which is invisible.
00:16:47.356 --> 00:16:50.659
So all of the visible world came out of the invisible.
00:16:50.659 --> 00:16:54.496
And the bible says, if you can see it,
00:16:54.496 --> 00:16:56.565
Touch it, smell it, taste it or feel it,
00:16:56.565 --> 00:16:58.667
It is temporary and it is subject to change.
00:16:58.667 --> 00:17:01.970
But the unseen world that you can't see but is more real
00:17:01.970 --> 00:17:05.808
Than the truth you're sitting on
00:17:05.808 --> 00:17:07.509
Is the world that will never change.
00:17:07.509 --> 00:17:09.878
It is the world that is not subject to change.
00:17:09.878 --> 00:17:13.215
It is the world that god made.
00:17:13.849 --> 00:17:15.751
And it is not temporary. it is eternal.
00:17:15.751 --> 00:17:18.120
Heaven and earth might pass away.
00:17:18.120 --> 00:17:20.189
But god said my words will always remain.
00:17:20.189 --> 00:17:22.925
(audience applauding)
00:17:22.925 --> 00:17:25.060
So what you can see comes and goes.
00:17:25.060 --> 00:17:27.896
But you can stand on the lord forever
00:17:27.896 --> 00:17:29.498
Because it's not gonna change.
00:17:29.498 --> 00:17:32.000
So stay with me, that is so powerful.
00:17:32.768 --> 00:17:35.704
Everything we are enjoying came out of a world we can't see.
00:17:35.704 --> 00:17:40.509
But then after god made it, he turned to adam
00:17:41.443 --> 00:17:46.782
And said, now here's how it works.
00:17:47.549 --> 00:17:49.551
Psalm 8 says, i'm gonna crown you with glory.
00:17:50.486 --> 00:17:53.555
Glory means weight.
00:17:54.022 --> 00:17:55.891
How many of you have heard this saying,
00:17:56.725 --> 00:17:58.494
Boy, his words carry a lot of weight though.
00:17:58.494 --> 00:18:00.362
- [audience] yeah.
00:18:00.362 --> 00:18:02.331
- okay, what does that mean?
00:18:02.331 --> 00:18:03.932
That means when they speak, something's backing it up.
00:18:03.932 --> 00:18:07.236
People that nothing backs up their words,
00:18:08.137 --> 00:18:10.372
We don't pay no attention to them.
00:18:10.372 --> 00:18:12.241
If you threaten your kids, i'm gonna whoop your behind.
00:18:12.241 --> 00:18:14.877
I'm gonna whoop your behind. i'm gonna whoop your behind.
00:18:14.877 --> 00:18:17.913
I'm like, let me whoop them
00:18:17.913 --> 00:18:19.181
'cause all you going to do is tell them.
00:18:19.181 --> 00:18:20.582
(audience laughs)
00:18:20.582 --> 00:18:25.020
You can ask my kids. i don't threaten.
00:18:25.821 --> 00:18:28.323
I don't threaten all day.
00:18:28.891 --> 00:18:30.893
I give you one warning. then at it we go.
00:18:30.893 --> 00:18:33.562
(audience laughs)
00:18:33.562 --> 00:18:36.965
But if you threaten 21 times,
00:18:37.599 --> 00:18:39.568
Your kid does not change their behavior.
00:18:39.568 --> 00:18:42.304
Why? because they know there's no weight behind your words.
00:18:42.304 --> 00:18:45.007
(audience applauding)
00:18:45.007 --> 00:18:47.509
You are not gonna back it up.
00:18:47.509 --> 00:18:52.147
But to the parent who will come down on you
00:18:53.081 --> 00:18:57.653
And cut that behind, y'all saying,
00:18:57.653 --> 00:18:59.855
You don't even know what i'm talking about, cut that behind.
00:18:59.855 --> 00:19:02.291
I've heard i'm gonna get my behind
00:19:02.291 --> 00:19:03.892
Because that's why i ain't got no behind,
00:19:03.892 --> 00:19:04.927
It's been cut so much.
00:19:04.927 --> 00:19:06.361
(audience applauding)
00:19:06.361 --> 00:19:14.203
When you know you get one warning,
00:19:14.970 --> 00:19:16.471
Then you're gonna get it cut.
00:19:16.471 --> 00:19:18.740
Okay, for those of you out there in the whole world,
00:19:18.740 --> 00:19:20.442
Don't know what cut your behind means,
00:19:20.442 --> 00:19:21.643
It's a possum kingdom thing.
00:19:21.643 --> 00:19:23.412
It's just a possum kingdom thing.
00:19:23.412 --> 00:19:27.349
So those words carried weight.
00:19:27.983 --> 00:19:31.787
Because i knew i had gotten my warning,
00:19:31.787 --> 00:19:34.056
And next time they won't be no talk.
00:19:34.056 --> 00:19:36.792
So those words move me because something backed him up.
00:19:37.859 --> 00:19:43.198
Are y'all feeling me? - [audience] yes.
00:19:44.066 --> 00:19:45.834
- so god crowned adam with his weight.
00:19:46.668 --> 00:19:49.938
And he said, adam, from this point forward,
00:19:49.938 --> 00:19:52.074
Here's how it works.
00:19:52.074 --> 00:19:53.442
Whatever you call it, i'm gonna back it up.
00:19:53.442 --> 00:19:57.813
So now no longer are you waiting on me,
00:19:58.647 --> 00:20:04.853
But i respond to you.
00:20:05.354 --> 00:20:07.589
Whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven.
00:20:08.590 --> 00:20:13.929
Remember when i talked about this last week?
00:20:14.863 --> 00:20:15.797
Whatever you loose on earth,
00:20:15.797 --> 00:20:17.366
I'm not gonna do a thing in heaven till you do it on earth.
00:20:17.366 --> 00:20:20.602
You loose it on earth. i'll loose it in heaven.
00:20:21.536 --> 00:20:23.472
What do we come up here and pray today?
00:20:23.472 --> 00:20:25.140
Whatever you touch and agree on earth,
00:20:25.140 --> 00:20:28.343
Then, then, then, then it shall be done
00:20:28.343 --> 00:20:31.847
By my father, which is in heaven.
00:20:31.847 --> 00:20:33.882
Whatever you call it,
00:20:33.882 --> 00:20:35.484
Then that's what i will cause it to be, adam.
00:20:35.484 --> 00:20:38.153
So you've got to understand
00:20:38.153 --> 00:20:40.188
That heaven only responds to earth.
00:20:40.188 --> 00:20:43.191
So everybody in here, if you believe you have a next season,
00:20:43.191 --> 00:20:47.095
If you believe you have a next level blessing,
00:20:47.095 --> 00:20:49.731
If you believe you have a next level promise,
00:20:49.731 --> 00:20:52.367
If you believe you have a next level economy,
00:20:52.367 --> 00:20:55.103
If you believe you have a next level career,
00:20:55.103 --> 00:20:57.639
If you believe you have a next level business
00:20:57.639 --> 00:20:59.708
Or job, if you believe you have a next level friend,
00:20:59.708 --> 00:21:03.011
Then guess what?
00:21:03.011 --> 00:21:04.446
God is not going to move first.
00:21:04.446 --> 00:21:07.916
(audience applauding)
00:21:07.916 --> 00:21:11.386
The move is your move.
00:21:11.386 --> 00:21:15.223
Because god cannot put next level blessings
00:21:15.223 --> 00:21:20.395
In previous level containers.
00:21:21.029 --> 00:21:23.231
(audience applauding)
00:21:23.231 --> 00:21:25.434
So jesus said, i can't come here and minister grace
00:21:25.434 --> 00:21:31.073
When all you think is law.
00:21:31.640 --> 00:21:33.709
(audience applauding)
00:21:33.709 --> 00:21:37.813
I can't help you understand, i'm saving you
00:21:38.680 --> 00:21:41.783
When you think you can be good enough to save yourself.
00:21:41.783 --> 00:21:46.455
So you are gonna have to change this
00:21:47.222 --> 00:21:50.058
So that i can pour in some new this.
00:21:50.058 --> 00:21:53.161
I feel the spirit of god in here.
00:21:53.895 --> 00:21:56.565
Somebody needs to be about making some new containers
00:21:56.565 --> 00:22:00.202
Because i'm telling you,
00:22:00.202 --> 00:22:01.670
I feel prophetically a next level move of god in this house,
00:22:01.670 --> 00:22:06.742
A next level move of god for those watching by internet,
00:22:07.876 --> 00:22:10.212
A next level move of god for you and your family,
00:22:10.212 --> 00:22:13.215
Everybody under the sound of my voice.
00:22:13.215 --> 00:22:15.584
But what are you building to hold god's next level?
00:22:15.584 --> 00:22:19.621
Somebody shout, hallelujah.
00:22:19.621 --> 00:22:22.157
- take 10 seconds and bless the name
00:22:22.924 --> 00:22:25.360
Of the lord your god in this place.
00:22:25.360 --> 00:22:27.829
Oh, i thank you god for next level promise.
00:22:27.829 --> 00:22:33.368
Hallelujah!
00:22:33.702 --> 00:22:35.470
Ah! (audience applauding)
00:22:36.037 --> 00:22:41.910
Woo! turn to the neighbor. say next level.
00:22:42.811 --> 00:22:47.048
For every new thing that god wants to make a deposit,
00:22:48.083 --> 00:22:55.290
He said, my manmade responsibility is to keep the container,
00:22:56.558 --> 00:23:02.697
To keep the temporary container
00:23:03.331 --> 00:23:06.101
Always new and always up-to-date.
00:23:06.835 --> 00:23:11.306
I'd like for you to take a little
00:23:11.973 --> 00:23:13.108
Three or four minute journey with me.
00:23:13.108 --> 00:23:14.476
Don't cut off the tv.
00:23:14.476 --> 00:23:15.811
Would you just hear me out for just a moment?
00:23:15.811 --> 00:23:18.180
Journey with me to the one who has just been divorced
00:23:19.247 --> 00:23:22.217
And sitting in a seat watching on tv late at night,
00:23:22.217 --> 00:23:25.420
Tears running down his face,
00:23:25.420 --> 00:23:27.222
Wondering if god can still use him.
00:23:27.222 --> 00:23:29.758
I want you to go with me
00:23:29.758 --> 00:23:31.059
To the one person who's just lost a loved one,
00:23:31.059 --> 00:23:33.528
Lost a lifetime friend, maybe lost a parent.
00:23:33.528 --> 00:23:36.932
Go with me into people in countries
00:23:36.932 --> 00:23:40.368
Where there are not churches right down the street
00:23:40.368 --> 00:23:42.571
For them to attend and there are not preachers
00:23:42.571 --> 00:23:45.507
Preaching on every street corner
00:23:45.507 --> 00:23:47.008
At any time they would like to go hear church service.
00:23:47.008 --> 00:23:49.711
Go with me to the place
00:23:49.711 --> 00:23:51.246
Where a bible is not readily available, and if they get one,
00:23:51.246 --> 00:23:54.282
They would cherish it with their life
00:23:54.282 --> 00:23:55.584
And kiss it with their lips.
00:23:55.584 --> 00:23:57.552
These are the kind of people we get to reach
00:23:57.552 --> 00:24:00.188
Through tv doing what we do.
00:24:00.188 --> 00:24:02.524
These are the places we get to go into,
00:24:02.524 --> 00:24:04.593
Not just homes like yours where you probably could get up
00:24:04.593 --> 00:24:07.796
And go to church sunday morning if you wanted to,
00:24:07.796 --> 00:24:10.298
But we're going into countries where people,
00:24:10.298 --> 00:24:12.000
There is no church to attend.
00:24:12.000 --> 00:24:14.302
I think that god has given us
00:24:14.302 --> 00:24:15.604
One of the greatest privileges in the world.
00:24:15.604 --> 00:24:17.105
Notice i didn't say me, us, because i do this with you
00:24:17.105 --> 00:24:21.009
And i need your help to do what we're doing.
00:24:21.009 --> 00:24:23.545
You have allowed us to go from just local programming
00:24:23.545 --> 00:24:26.681
Into worldwide programming.
00:24:26.681 --> 00:24:28.783
But what we're doing now is we're sending programming
00:24:28.783 --> 00:24:30.919
Into all the world but for people who don't speak english
00:24:30.919 --> 00:24:33.889
And people who don't speak spanish,
00:24:33.889 --> 00:24:35.290
Now we're translating into spanish,
00:24:35.290 --> 00:24:37.325
It doesn't do them much good.
00:24:37.325 --> 00:24:39.027
So now we're looking at
00:24:39.027 --> 00:24:40.328
How can we not just get into other countries,
00:24:40.328 --> 00:24:42.931
But get it in their known language, in their known tone.
00:24:42.931 --> 00:24:46.034
This is a great undertaking,
00:24:46.034 --> 00:24:47.402
But me and my team, we've said we can do this
00:24:47.402 --> 00:24:49.671
And we want to step by step piece together
00:24:49.671 --> 00:24:52.474
And put things together in a way
00:24:52.474 --> 00:24:53.875
Where when people hear this message of jesus
00:24:53.875 --> 00:24:56.444
And his kingdom, they hear it in a language they understand.
00:24:56.444 --> 00:25:00.015
It's gonna take a lot of people.
00:25:00.015 --> 00:25:01.650
It's gonna take people with high skill sets. we have them.
00:25:01.650 --> 00:25:04.452
It's gonna take a lot of equipment,
00:25:04.452 --> 00:25:05.787
It's gonna take buying tv time.
00:25:05.787 --> 00:25:07.822
But most of all, it's gonna take resources.
00:25:07.822 --> 00:25:10.025
Now, i'd ask you to consider prayerfully
00:25:10.025 --> 00:25:12.360
Joining us in this great vision we have.
00:25:12.360 --> 00:25:14.696
Not to just speak it all over the world,
00:25:14.696 --> 00:25:16.798
But to speak it so people can understand it.
00:25:16.798 --> 00:25:19.467
If you'd like to be a first time giver, whether one time
00:25:19.467 --> 00:25:21.970
Or whether become a part of the family, a monthly giver,
00:25:21.970 --> 00:25:24.639
We want to give you back this gift
00:25:24.639 --> 00:25:26.708
To say thank you for joining with us.
00:25:26.708 --> 00:25:28.276
For those of you who have contributed
00:25:28.276 --> 00:25:30.478
Or who do it on a consistent basis,
00:25:30.478 --> 00:25:32.013
I can't thank you enough.
00:25:32.013 --> 00:25:33.515
You have walked us through this journey
00:25:33.515 --> 00:25:35.016
And taking us to where we are
00:25:35.016 --> 00:25:36.718
And to that i'm truly grateful.
00:25:36.718 --> 00:25:38.420
But we need for this circle of givers,
00:25:38.420 --> 00:25:40.255
This circle of supporters to get much, much larger
00:25:40.255 --> 00:25:43.725
If we're gonna fulfill the things that god
00:25:43.725 --> 00:25:45.927
Has put in our heart to do, and i do believe together
00:25:45.927 --> 00:25:48.797
That it can be done.
00:25:48.797 --> 00:25:50.165
You got a number there on your screen
00:25:50.165 --> 00:25:51.533
And we want you to call us.
00:25:51.533 --> 00:25:52.834
We want you to tell us, do you need jesus?
00:25:52.834 --> 00:25:54.669
Do you need prayer?
00:25:54.669 --> 00:25:55.971
Do you need somebody to lead you in salvation?
00:25:55.971 --> 00:25:57.339
We'll be glad to do it.
00:25:57.339 --> 00:25:58.873
Maybe you'd like to hear this whole series on exposure.
00:25:58.873 --> 00:26:01.676
Of course that's available in an online bookstore.
00:26:01.676 --> 00:26:04.079
Or maybe you'd like to say,
00:26:04.079 --> 00:26:05.480
I'd like to have the whole ron carpenter library.
00:26:05.480 --> 00:26:07.215
We actually, yes, have that available to you.
00:26:07.215 --> 00:26:09.684
Download the ron carpenter app,
00:26:09.684 --> 00:26:11.319
And when you download the vault, then you have access
00:26:11.319 --> 00:26:14.656
To everything that's been preached.
00:26:14.656 --> 00:26:15.924
It's just a small subscription price,
00:26:15.924 --> 00:26:17.993
But we're trying to get it digitally remastered
00:26:17.993 --> 00:26:20.095
To be excellent teaching
00:26:20.095 --> 00:26:21.663
Over almost a 30 year period of teaching just for you.
00:26:21.663 --> 00:26:25.066
And go out and connect with me on twitter
00:26:25.066 --> 00:26:26.601
And instagram and facebook.
00:26:26.601 --> 00:26:28.169
Because on there,
00:26:28.169 --> 00:26:29.671
I'm not just talking once or two or three times a week,
00:26:29.671 --> 00:26:31.740
I'm talking all the time.
00:26:31.740 --> 00:26:33.141
And i would love to develop a relationship with you.
00:26:33.141 --> 00:26:35.143
You're very precious to us.
00:26:35.143 --> 00:26:36.745
And we believe we're doing the things
00:26:36.745 --> 00:26:38.179
That god would have us to do.
00:26:38.179 --> 00:26:39.848
And we thank you for your help.
00:26:39.848 --> 00:26:41.383

And i'll see you again soon.
00:26:47.422 --> 00:26:49.157
