Mark of the Beast Explained: 666, the Antichrist, and Revelation 13

Renovate Your Mind and Transform Your Life
The renovation of the mind leads to the transformation of the life. The superhuman effects of regeneration in the life of a believer is limited by the extent to which the mind has been renovated. It is simple: If you do not renew your mind, you will not enjoy the superhuman life that God has for you. The word for transform in Romans 12:2 illustrates a beautiful and powerful example. Transform means “to change into another form and to transfigure.” In Romans 12:2, it says we are transformed by the renewing of our minds. The fact that the word is renewing instead of renewed tells us that this is a continual process, not a one-time event. The renewing of the mind is a process that begins at salvation and continues throughout the Christian life.
Satan Will Use Everything he Can to Attack You
You need to recognize why the attack is happening. Satan will not only use affliction and persecution, but he will also use the cares of this world, the deceitfulness of riches—either with you or against you—and the lust of other things to choke the Word and make it become unfruitful (see Mark 4).
The Day Dwight Moody Was Filled with the Holy Spirit
“I began to cry as I never did before. I really felt that I did not want to live if I could not have this power for service…”
Accept Him For Who He is
A husband looks for a secure, safe place in his wife. Proverbs 31:11 (KJV) describes this place: “The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her….” This is not a complaining place on our part, nor a criticizing place. It’s not a place he wants to run from, but rather a place he wants to run to. Your husband needs you to be a friend to him who is supportive and kind — a person he can go to and know that you are on his side.
Your Words Are the Key to Health… or Death
People who have an image of themselves being in poor health will talk about poor health. Even though they may be in good health, they seem to live out the reality of the image they have of themselves, even unto death…
Where We’re Going we Don’t Need Roads!
"Show me the right path oh Lord. Point out the road for me to follow." Psalm 25:4
God has a path that will take you to your future but it might not be the road someone else took. Where You're going you don't need the road they took. You need to road God has for you!
I Was a Burned Out Missionary, Then Jesus Walked into my Room…
The next morning at six o’clock, Jesus Christ walked into our bedroom. When I saw Him, it seemed as though all physical strength left my body. I lay there as though paralyzed, unable to move a finger or a toe. Water poured from my eyes, though I was not conscious of weeping.
Superhuman Authority for Healing
As Paul said, we have been rescued from the authority of darkness and have been translated into the Kingdom of the Son of His love (see Col. 1:13). Satan and all of the kingdom of darkness cannot make believers do anything, because believers have been delivered from the dominion of darkness and granted their own dominion. The power of dominion that believers have received is far above all the powers and authority of darkness.
No Miracle is Too Big
Unemployed, afraid, resentful, guilt-stricken and angry, he hated himself—and he hated God.
In that despondent state, he heard of the crusade where we were teaching the gospel. At first, he presumed that we were foreign soothsayers or charlatans deceiving the people.
But then he asked himself, “What can I lose?”
Do Not Communicate With the Serpent of Old
Here we see the hateful nature of satan and the jealously he feels toward Adam and Eve and toward us too. Why? Because we are created in the mirror image of Elohim, no other creation is created as we are, not even the angels. And as I teach you in my first work, DARE to Believe in chapter 1, the devil is just a fallen angel. And we have been given authority over him. God refers to him as the Serpent of Old.
Discover the Conqueror in You
We are more than conquerors through him that loved us (Rom. 8:37). We are victors. We are overcomers. We always triumph when we believe God’s word (2 Cor. 2:14). If God was with Moses, He will be with us. When He promised to be with Joshua even as He had been with Moses ( Joshua 1:5), He meant that He would be with us just as He had been with Moses.
Give Voice to Your Faith and be Healed!
“Faith is the substance of things hoped for” (Heb. 11:1). Hope is important, but hope lacks substance until filled with faith. HOPE is only a goal-setter. Her HOPE was to be healed, but hope DIDN’T HEAL HER! FAITH gave substance to her hope.
Expect Your Healing… Today!
Healing should be as expected today as it was in the gospels and the book of Acts. Healing is available today. It is available to you…
You Can Live This Miracle
The great truth of authentic Christianity is the preeminent fact that Jesus Christ has so thoroughly redeemed us to God that it is as though no sin had ever been committed to separate us from Him (Isaiah 59:2). We are reconciled to God. We have been redeemed with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot (1 Peter 1:18-19). He loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood (Revelation 1:5). Why?
Demons Seek Bodies to Express Themselves
A demon is a personality—a spirit, just like you and me. As you yearn to do good, to speak kind words, to hear music, to see the flowers, to express yourself in conversation, and to respond to impulses with some expression, demon spirits yearn to express themselves. But since they have no bodies of their own, they must wander through the land…
Prayers From 4 Baptist Ladies Leads to an Experience With God
But then something happened that I wasn’t expecting. Suddenly the wind was in the room. It was the presence of God and He just kept coming. He completely filled me. I was overwhelmed by it. Finally I said, “God, I can’t take any more of You.” He not only saved me, but I was baptized in the Holy Spirit at the same time. I had a genuine experience with God.

How Philip Renner’s Mom Inspired Him
At the age of ten, I didn’t really understand what Mom’s answer really meant, so I just thought fasting was weird. I had the idea that she was super-spiritual and that fasting was something super-hard to understand. I often wondered what happened in the room when she shut her door to pray. What encounters with God was she experiencing?
Stewarding Your Children Towards a Heart for God
It’s true that all three of our sons have worked in the ministry in some capacity from the time they were each old enough to do so. They helped me carry my Bible and study books, unpack boxes of books and teaching materials, set up and manage book tables, help distribute offering envelopes, straighten chairs, and work in the sound booth, etc. At every age and season, they grew in their skills and abilities, and they loaned those God-given talents, with a heart for service, to the Lord and His work — and, in particular, to Rick Renner Ministries.
