00:00:01.170 --> 00:00:03.840
This program is made
possible by the giving
2
00:00:03.840 --> 00:00:07.890
of the God called partners
of Renner Ministries.
3
00:00:07.890 --> 00:00:11.130
Get ready for a teaching
that feeds your spirit
4
00:00:11.130 --> 00:00:14.730
and your mind, where the word is the anchor in
5
00:00:14.730 --> 00:00:16.680
uncertain times
6
00:00:16.680 --> 00:00:19.980
and doctrine doesn't bend to culture.
7
00:00:19.980 --> 00:00:21.390
We keep it simple,
8
00:00:21.390 --> 00:00:25.980
but dive deep revealing a
truth that strengthens us,
9
00:00:26.850 --> 00:00:28.470
a love that emboldens,
10
00:00:29.880 --> 00:00:32.040
and a mission that touches the world.
11
00:00:34.350 --> 00:00:35.910
Let's join Rick Renner.
12
00:00:38.610 --> 00:00:39.750
Welcome to today's program.
13
00:00:39.750 --> 00:00:42.300
My name is Rick Renner
14
00:00:42.300 --> 00:00:45.510
and I'm so excited about
what I'm going to be sharing
15
00:00:45.510 --> 00:00:46.890
with you today.
16
00:00:46.890 --> 00:00:49.440
And look, I've got my marker
17
00:00:49.440 --> 00:00:52.980
because today I'm gonna go to the Glass board
18
00:00:52.980 --> 00:00:54.450
and I'm gonna be sharing a lot
19
00:00:54.450 --> 00:00:57.450
with you from the original
Greek of the New Testament.
20
00:00:57.450 --> 00:01:00.150
But I'm starting a brand new series called, How
21
00:01:00.150 --> 00:01:03.780
to Stay in a Place of Faith.
22
00:01:03.780 --> 00:01:05.730
My Friends, you have
to really be determined
23
00:01:05.730 --> 00:01:07.950
to stay in a place of faith.
24
00:01:07.950 --> 00:01:10.830
And this week and next week,
I'm gonna be teaching you how
25
00:01:10.830 --> 00:01:12.810
to stay in a place of faith.
26
00:01:12.810 --> 00:01:15.990
And I want you to order this
10 part series which comes
27
00:01:15.990 --> 00:01:17.760
with a terrific study guide.
28
00:01:17.760 --> 00:01:19.800
I really believe that when
you read the material,
29
00:01:19.800 --> 00:01:23.190
while you see it or hear it,
it causes this revelation
30
00:01:23.190 --> 00:01:24.840
to get down deep inside you.
31
00:01:24.840 --> 00:01:28.590
And I want this teaching
to be down deep inside you.
32
00:01:28.590 --> 00:01:31.410
And we're also offering you now my book,
33
00:01:31.410 --> 00:01:34.950
which is called - Dream Thieves, Overcoming Obstacles
34
00:01:34.950 --> 00:01:37.410
to Fulfill Your Dreams.
35
00:01:37.410 --> 00:01:41.010
And My Friends, this is
a life changing book,
36
00:01:41.010 --> 00:01:43.770
but you can order all these
things by going online
37
00:01:43.770 --> 00:01:45.930
or by giving us a call right now.
38
00:01:45.930 --> 00:01:47.970
And when you reach out to us,
39
00:01:47.970 --> 00:01:49.440
please let us know how to pray for you.
40
00:01:49.440 --> 00:01:50.850
We are people of prayer
41
00:01:50.850 --> 00:01:54.810
and we believe what Jesus said
when he told us that if two
42
00:01:54.810 --> 00:01:58.230
of you will agree as touching
anything, I will do it.
43
00:01:58.230 --> 00:02:01.440
You can pray by yourself,
of course you can.
44
00:02:01.440 --> 00:02:04.080
You've got access to the
Father right where you are.
45
00:02:04.080 --> 00:02:06.570
But sometimes it really does help
46
00:02:06.570 --> 00:02:08.760
to have somebody agreeing
with you in prayer.
47
00:02:08.760 --> 00:02:11.130
And we know how to pray in faith.
48
00:02:11.130 --> 00:02:13.830
And if you need someone to
pray with you, reach out to us
49
00:02:13.830 --> 00:02:16.560
by calling the number
that is on the screen
50
00:02:16.560 --> 00:02:19.200
or send us an email and
the moment the phone rings
51
00:02:19.200 --> 00:02:20.640
and we get your call,
52
00:02:20.640 --> 00:02:23.340
or when your email shows up in our inbox,
53
00:02:23.340 --> 00:02:24.900
we're gonna release our faith.
54
00:02:24.900 --> 00:02:26.550
We're gonna pray scripturally.
55
00:02:26.550 --> 00:02:28.980
Jesus is going to hear us
56
00:02:28.980 --> 00:02:32.460
and he's going to do exactly
what needs to be done.
57
00:02:32.460 --> 00:02:35.370
So reach out to us by calling that number
58
00:02:35.370 --> 00:02:37.350
or by sending us an email.
59
00:02:37.350 --> 00:02:39.600
But I want you to reach for your Bible.
60
00:02:39.600 --> 00:02:42.600
And today we're going to go to Hebrews 10.
61
00:02:42.600 --> 00:02:44.430
It's a verse that I love very much,
62
00:02:44.430 --> 00:02:46.230
and the reason I love it is
63
00:02:46.230 --> 00:02:48.300
because this verse has really been life
64
00:02:48.300 --> 00:02:50.460
for me. In our ministry,
65
00:02:50.460 --> 00:02:53.490
God has told us to do many
things which naturally
66
00:02:53.490 --> 00:02:55.020
seemed impossible.
67
00:02:55.020 --> 00:02:58.680
And we've learned that we
had to really hold fast to
68
00:02:58.680 --> 00:03:00.490
what God has called us to do.
69
00:03:00.490 --> 00:03:02.230
And it doesn't matter
what's on your heart,
70
00:03:02.230 --> 00:03:05.110
whether it's your healing,
the salvation of a child
71
00:03:05.110 --> 00:03:07.870
or your spouse, maybe you're
believing for your business
72
00:03:07.870 --> 00:03:11.230
to be blessed, something in your heart you're believing for,
73
00:03:11.230 --> 00:03:13.750
you've gotta really hold on to the promise
74
00:03:13.750 --> 00:03:16.240
that God gave you or life
75
00:03:16.240 --> 00:03:18.850
will try to take that promise away from you.
76
00:03:18.850 --> 00:03:22.660
And when we come to Hebrews 10, we find the writer
77
00:03:22.660 --> 00:03:25.030
of Hebrews was writing to a group of Jews
78
00:03:25.030 --> 00:03:26.590
who were struggling.
79
00:03:26.590 --> 00:03:29.020
They had really been
attacked in their faith,
80
00:03:29.020 --> 00:03:30.700
they were suffering a lot of things,
81
00:03:30.700 --> 00:03:34.600
and they were tempted to question what they had believed
82
00:03:34.600 --> 00:03:36.370
and to let go of it.
83
00:03:36.370 --> 00:03:40.150
So when we come to Hebrews 10:23, the writer
84
00:03:40.150 --> 00:03:43.030
of Hebrews says - Let us hold fast
85
00:03:43.030 --> 00:03:46.090
the profession of our faith without wavering
86
00:03:46.090 --> 00:03:48.490
for faithful is he that promise.
87
00:03:48.490 --> 00:03:50.740
Now, I want you to grab
your pen or your pencil
88
00:03:50.740 --> 00:03:53.620
and get ready to underline
several things in verse 23.
89
00:03:53.620 --> 00:03:57.010
First of all, underline
the words, hold fast.
90
00:03:57.010 --> 00:03:58.120
This is very, very important.
91
00:03:58.120 --> 00:04:00.670
I'm gonna deal with this on
the board in just a moment.
92
00:04:00.670 --> 00:04:03.670
But then it says, the
profession of our faith:
93
00:04:03.670 --> 00:04:06.640
either underline or circle the word, profession.
94
00:04:06.640 --> 00:04:08.050
Then if you would either underline
95
00:04:08.050 --> 00:04:09.760
or circle the words faith.
96
00:04:09.760 --> 00:04:11.680
And then I want you to either underline
97
00:04:11.680 --> 00:04:13.510
or circle the word wavering.
98
00:04:13.510 --> 00:04:16.330
And these are the words we're
really gonna focus on in
99
00:04:16.330 --> 00:04:17.800
today's program.
100
00:04:17.800 --> 00:04:20.290
But let's begin with the
very first of the verse
101
00:04:20.290 --> 00:04:22.420
where the writer of
Hebrews writes to anybody
102
00:04:22.420 --> 00:04:24.400
that's holding onto something by faith
103
00:04:24.400 --> 00:04:28.960
and says, let us hold fast
the profession of our faith.
104
00:04:28.960 --> 00:04:30.520
So let's go to the board.
105
00:04:30.520 --> 00:04:33.850
The words, hold fast, in Greek is a form
106
00:04:33.850 --> 00:04:36.940
of the word katechō.
107
00:04:36.940 --> 00:04:39.130
Now this is a compound word.
108
00:04:39.130 --> 00:04:42.310
The first part of the word
is actually the word kata,
109
00:04:42.310 --> 00:04:45.820
and the second word is the word echo.
110
00:04:45.820 --> 00:04:47.530
Now, if you're taking notes in English
111
00:04:47.530 --> 00:04:49.960
and you want to know how
to spell this in English,
112
00:04:49.960 --> 00:04:54.340
it would be spelled kata plus the word echo.
113
00:04:54.340 --> 00:04:56.470
But let me tell you what these words mean.
114
00:04:56.470 --> 00:05:01.240
First of all, the word kata means down.
115
00:05:01.240 --> 00:05:04.270
The word echo means to have
116
00:05:05.890 --> 00:05:10.890
to hold or to possess -
117
00:05:11.140 --> 00:05:13.030
or to possess.
118
00:05:13.030 --> 00:05:15.490
But when you compound
the two words together,
119
00:05:15.490 --> 00:05:16.720
it is the picture of somebody
120
00:05:16.720 --> 00:05:19.480
that has something in their possession and, kata,
121
00:05:19.480 --> 00:05:23.680
they are holding it down or they are suppressing it.
122
00:05:23.680 --> 00:05:25.060
And there are several examples
123
00:05:25.060 --> 00:05:26.950
of this word in the New Testament,
124
00:05:26.950 --> 00:05:30.010
and I want to give you the
references for these words.
125
00:05:30.010 --> 00:05:34.390
First of all, we have Romans 1:18.
126
00:05:34.390 --> 00:05:36.220
We're going to go there in just a moment.
127
00:05:36.220 --> 00:05:38.650
Secondly, we have 1 Timothy
128
00:05:39.580 --> 00:05:41.530
6:13.
129
00:05:41.530 --> 00:05:45.040
And then we have 2 Thessalonians
130
00:05:45.940 --> 00:05:47.470
2:6.
131
00:05:47.470 --> 00:05:49.870
And I want to look at
these examples with you
132
00:05:49.870 --> 00:05:52.990
so you'll understand this word, hold fast.
133
00:05:52.990 --> 00:05:57.230
So let's go to Romans 1:18.
134
00:05:57.230 --> 00:06:00.950
And when we come to Romans 1:18,
135
00:06:00.950 --> 00:06:03.500
Paul is describing ungodly men
136
00:06:03.500 --> 00:06:06.080
and listen to what he says about them.
137
00:06:06.080 --> 00:06:07.970
Romans 1:18 says, For the wrath
138
00:06:07.970 --> 00:06:11.930
of God is revealed from Heaven against all ungodliness
139
00:06:11.930 --> 00:06:15.140
and unrighteousness of men who hold
140
00:06:15.140 --> 00:06:17.540
the truth in unrighteousness.
141
00:06:17.540 --> 00:06:21.620
And that word, hold, in Romans 1:18 is this
142
00:06:21.620 --> 00:06:23.300
word - katechō.
143
00:06:23.300 --> 00:06:27.110
And it really means - to suppress. They have the truth.
144
00:06:27.110 --> 00:06:29.840
They don't like the truth, so
they're putting a lid on it,
145
00:06:29.840 --> 00:06:31.880
they're trying to hold it down,
146
00:06:31.880 --> 00:06:35.180
or they're trying to
suppress it, lest it get out
147
00:06:35.180 --> 00:06:36.680
and affect people.
148
00:06:36.680 --> 00:06:38.450
So they're trying to hold the truth down.
149
00:06:38.450 --> 00:06:40.310
They're trying to suppress the truth.
150
00:06:40.310 --> 00:06:41.600
And by the way, that is
151
00:06:41.600 --> 00:06:44.420
what we see happening very
often in our world today,
152
00:06:44.420 --> 00:06:45.920
especially in the media
153
00:06:45.920 --> 00:06:49.040
and the liberal press. When
they don't like the truth,
154
00:06:49.040 --> 00:06:52.190
they try to put a lid on
it, they try to suppress it,
155
00:06:52.190 --> 00:06:55.580
they try to hold it down and restrain it.
156
00:06:55.580 --> 00:06:57.871
That's what this word, hold fast, means,
157
00:06:57.871 --> 00:06:59.796
the Greek word katechō.
158
00:06:59.796 --> 00:07:04.520
But then we go to 1 Timothy 6,
159
00:07:04.520 --> 00:07:06.740
and in 1 Timothy 6,
160
00:07:06.740 --> 00:07:09.530
we have an example of Jesus.
161
00:07:09.530 --> 00:07:12.860
And in 1 Timothy 6:12, it says,
162
00:07:12.860 --> 00:07:14.420
Fight the good fight of faith
163
00:07:14.420 --> 00:07:17.090
and lay a hold on eternal life.
164
00:07:17.090 --> 00:07:19.670
It means you've gotta really
lay a hold of eternal life.
165
00:07:19.670 --> 00:07:21.140
You've gotta hold it down.
166
00:07:21.140 --> 00:07:25.430
You've gotta make sure that nothing takes it away from you.
167
00:07:25.430 --> 00:07:27.230
But then we have a 3rd example,
168
00:07:27.230 --> 00:07:29.780
2 Thessalonians 2:
169
00:07:29.780 --> 00:07:32.390
6, where the apostle Paul is describing the
170
00:07:32.390 --> 00:07:35.300
great restrainer at the end of the age.
171
00:07:35.300 --> 00:07:39.110
And in 2 Thessalonians 2:6, he says,
172
00:07:39.110 --> 00:07:41.930
And now you know what withholds
173
00:07:41.930 --> 00:07:45.530
that he might be revealed in his time. That word withholds -
174
00:07:45.530 --> 00:07:49.850
guess what - is this word, katechō. It could be translated,
175
00:07:49.850 --> 00:07:54.350
to restrain, to hold back, to suppress.
176
00:07:54.350 --> 00:07:56.360
It is the picture of one that's putting all
177
00:07:56.360 --> 00:07:59.450
of his might onto something
so he can hold it down
178
00:07:59.450 --> 00:08:02.330
and stop it from moving or being released.
179
00:08:02.330 --> 00:08:04.880
And in 2 Timothy 2:6,
180
00:08:04.880 --> 00:08:06.770
it is a picture of the church.
181
00:08:06.770 --> 00:08:09.290
We are the great restrainer
182
00:08:09.290 --> 00:08:13.850
and part of our role in this
world is to restrain evil:
183
00:08:13.850 --> 00:08:18.590
it is to suppress evil: it is to hold evil down.
184
00:08:18.590 --> 00:08:22.490
And if we don't do our
job, evil will get away
185
00:08:22.490 --> 00:08:25.640
and will begin to affect
the entire human race.
186
00:08:25.640 --> 00:08:30.230
All of that is in this word, katechō: to suppress,
187
00:08:30.230 --> 00:08:32.930
to hold down, to put a lid on it, to put all
188
00:08:32.930 --> 00:08:35.240
of your weight on top of it.
189
00:08:35.240 --> 00:08:39.020
But in this particular context, in Hebrews 10:
190
00:08:39.020 --> 00:08:43.400
23, it says, Let us hold fast the confession
191
00:08:43.400 --> 00:08:45.110
of our faith.
192
00:08:45.110 --> 00:08:47.930
So if you're gonna translate
this verse correctly, it says,
193
00:08:47.930 --> 00:08:50.960
let us suppress the
confession of our faith.
194
00:08:50.960 --> 00:08:52.880
Let us put all of our weight on top
195
00:08:52.880 --> 00:08:54.350
of the confession of our faith.
196
00:08:54.350 --> 00:08:56.190
Put a lid on it, hold it down.
197
00:08:57.030 --> 00:08:58.080
And the idea is this;
198
00:08:58.080 --> 00:09:01.320
if you don't really put
all your weight on top
199
00:09:01.320 --> 00:09:04.260
of your confession, if you don't determine
200
00:09:04.260 --> 00:09:07.740
to really hold fast to
your confession of faith,
201
00:09:07.740 --> 00:09:10.710
life will try to take
your faith away from you.
202
00:09:10.710 --> 00:09:13.950
If you're believing God to
do something in your finances
203
00:09:13.950 --> 00:09:17.730
and you're not seeing results,
disappointment will try
204
00:09:17.730 --> 00:09:19.170
to take it away from you.
205
00:09:19.170 --> 00:09:21.720
If you're believing for
your body to be healed
206
00:09:21.720 --> 00:09:23.460
but you're not seeing the manifestation,
207
00:09:23.460 --> 00:09:25.110
you may become discouraged
208
00:09:25.110 --> 00:09:27.780
and you may be tempted to let it go.
209
00:09:27.780 --> 00:09:30.900
You have to understand that
whatever God has promised
210
00:09:30.900 --> 00:09:33.720
to you, the devil will try
to pull it out of your hands.
211
00:09:33.720 --> 00:09:35.400
And so katechō:
212
00:09:35.400 --> 00:09:37.500
if you're gonna stay in your place of faith
213
00:09:37.500 --> 00:09:40.410
and see your manifestation, you have to say,
214
00:09:40.410 --> 00:09:43.080
nobody is gonna take this away from me.
215
00:09:43.080 --> 00:09:46.050
I'm gonna put all of my
weight on top of this thing.
216
00:09:46.050 --> 00:09:48.390
I'm gonna sit on it,
I'm gonna suppress it.
217
00:09:48.390 --> 00:09:50.580
I'm not going to let life or the enemy
218
00:09:50.580 --> 00:09:55.080
or anyone else steal from
me what God has promised.
219
00:09:55.080 --> 00:09:59.160
It is a determination to
never let go of the promise
220
00:09:59.160 --> 00:10:01.860
that God made to you.
221
00:10:01.860 --> 00:10:04.620
But then it goes on to say,
222
00:10:04.620 --> 00:10:09.510
Let us hold fast the confession of our faith.
223
00:10:09.510 --> 00:10:12.510
The word, confession, in Greek is very interesting.
224
00:10:12.510 --> 00:10:17.490
It is the Greek word homologeon - homologeon.
225
00:10:18.570 --> 00:10:21.450
It's a compound of two words: the first word
226
00:10:21.450 --> 00:10:26.450
the Greek word homos, which means one of the very same kind.
227
00:10:26.610 --> 00:10:28.500
If you wonder know how to spell that in English
228
00:10:28.500 --> 00:10:33.120
it's spelled like this: homos: one of the very same kind.
229
00:10:33.120 --> 00:10:36.270
The 2nd part of the word, logeon, is a derivative
230
00:10:36.270 --> 00:10:40.440
of the word logeo, which means I say. If you wanna know how
231
00:10:40.440 --> 00:10:43.950
to spell it in English, it's spelled like this.
232
00:10:43.950 --> 00:10:47.400
But when you put these two words together, homologeon,
233
00:10:47.400 --> 00:10:51.480
it means - to say the same thing:
234
00:10:51.480 --> 00:10:53.430
to say the same thing.
235
00:10:53.430 --> 00:10:56.760
And it is translated as the word, confession.
236
00:10:56.760 --> 00:11:00.780
But let me tell you, the word, confession doesn't quite
237
00:11:00.780 --> 00:11:03.810
meet the standard of what
this word really means.
238
00:11:03.810 --> 00:11:06.000
Let me give you an example.
239
00:11:06.000 --> 00:11:11.000
Let's say that you read my book, Dream Thieves.
240
00:11:11.370 --> 00:11:14.070
These are my words.
241
00:11:14.070 --> 00:11:18.540
If you read this book, you're reading me. If you agree with
242
00:11:18.540 --> 00:11:21.720
what I've written, you're coming into alignment
243
00:11:21.720 --> 00:11:24.420
or agreement with my words.
244
00:11:24.420 --> 00:11:26.730
It's not just a matter of saying something
245
00:11:26.730 --> 00:11:28.620
and saying the same thing, but you
246
00:11:28.620 --> 00:11:31.530
and me, we're on the same page in regard to
247
00:11:31.530 --> 00:11:34.320
what I have written, in regard
to what I have written.
248
00:11:34.320 --> 00:11:37.560
Our heart beats the same.
We hear it the same way.
249
00:11:37.560 --> 00:11:39.720
We see it the same way.
250
00:11:39.720 --> 00:11:42.870
It really is the idea of divine alignment.
251
00:11:42.870 --> 00:11:44.790
And here we find
252
00:11:44.790 --> 00:11:49.380
that when God has given you a
specific promise, you've got
253
00:11:49.380 --> 00:11:51.870
to come into alignment with that promise.
254
00:11:51.870 --> 00:11:55.210
And sometimes it takes time for you
255
00:11:55.210 --> 00:11:57.160
to really come into alignment.
256
00:11:57.160 --> 00:11:59.770
God gives you a word, you know
that God has really spoken
257
00:11:59.770 --> 00:12:02.890
to you, but you've got
doubt hiding in your soul.
258
00:12:02.890 --> 00:12:04.930
You gotta jerk that
doubt out of your being.
259
00:12:04.930 --> 00:12:08.200
You gotta jerk your being into
alignment until finally you
260
00:12:08.200 --> 00:12:10.270
and God begin to see it the same way.
261
00:12:10.270 --> 00:12:11.770
You begin to feel it the same way.
262
00:12:11.770 --> 00:12:14.110
You hear it the same way, and your heart
263
00:12:14.110 --> 00:12:17.770
and the heart of God is
beating in syncopation
264
00:12:17.770 --> 00:12:19.600
on this issue.
265
00:12:19.600 --> 00:12:22.600
It is the idea of divine alignment
266
00:12:22.600 --> 00:12:24.700
and my friends, it takes time
267
00:12:24.700 --> 00:12:28.390
and prayer, crucifying the
flesh, renewing your mind.
268
00:12:28.390 --> 00:12:30.100
All of that is required for you
269
00:12:30.100 --> 00:12:34.540
and God to get into
alignment about what he wants
270
00:12:34.540 --> 00:12:36.130
to do in your life.
271
00:12:36.130 --> 00:12:37.690
But what I want you to understand,
272
00:12:37.690 --> 00:12:40.480
this is not just parroting
something, this is you
273
00:12:40.480 --> 00:12:42.940
and God getting into agreement.
274
00:12:42.940 --> 00:12:46.780
We find the same word, homologeon, also found in
275
00:12:46.780 --> 00:12:49.660
1 John 1:9, where it says,
276
00:12:49.660 --> 00:12:54.040
if we've sinned and we confess it, God will cleanse us.
277
00:12:54.040 --> 00:12:56.140
The word confess is the Greek word, homologeon,
278
00:12:56.140 --> 00:12:58.120
which means: confessing
279
00:12:58.120 --> 00:13:01.990
sin is not the same as admitting sin.
280
00:13:01.990 --> 00:13:03.640
Most people just admit sin.
281
00:13:03.640 --> 00:13:06.220
But the word, homologeon, which is translated
282
00:13:06.220 --> 00:13:09.670
as the word, confess, in 1 John 1:9,
283
00:13:09.670 --> 00:13:12.490
means you and God are getting on the same page
284
00:13:12.490 --> 00:13:14.020
about your sin.
285
00:13:14.020 --> 00:13:17.050
You're seeing it the way that God sees it.
286
00:13:17.050 --> 00:13:19.360
You hear it the way that God hears it.
287
00:13:19.360 --> 00:13:22.300
You're feeling it the way
that God feels it. You
288
00:13:22.300 --> 00:13:25.450
and God, your heart are
beating the same on this issue
289
00:13:25.450 --> 00:13:26.770
of sin in your life.
290
00:13:26.770 --> 00:13:29.740
And when you get into that
place of agreement with God,
291
00:13:29.740 --> 00:13:32.950
that's when your
confession becomes powerful
292
00:13:34.030 --> 00:13:36.280
and forgiveness is released.
293
00:13:36.280 --> 00:13:39.640
Wow, most people have
never really confessed sin.
294
00:13:39.640 --> 00:13:41.470
They've just admitted sin.
295
00:13:41.470 --> 00:13:43.750
But to confess sin means you
296
00:13:43.750 --> 00:13:46.090
and God are in agreement on this issue.
297
00:13:46.090 --> 00:13:48.760
It's not just saying something
and admitting something.
298
00:13:48.760 --> 00:13:51.820
You and God are in agreement on this issue
299
00:13:51.820 --> 00:13:53.140
regarding your sin.
300
00:13:53.140 --> 00:13:56.050
Or let's take this into
the context of healing.
301
00:13:56.050 --> 00:13:58.930
You're not just saying, well,
by Jesus stripes I'm healed.
302
00:13:58.930 --> 00:14:01.060
You and God are on the same page now.
303
00:14:01.060 --> 00:14:04.480
You finally have embraced what God says.
304
00:14:04.480 --> 00:14:06.640
You see exactly what God sees.
305
00:14:06.640 --> 00:14:08.410
You feel it the way that God feels it.
306
00:14:08.410 --> 00:14:10.570
You hear it the way that God hears it.
307
00:14:10.570 --> 00:14:12.100
And your heart and God's heart,
308
00:14:12.100 --> 00:14:14.380
you are beating in syncopation together.
309
00:14:14.380 --> 00:14:18.220
It pulls you into divine alignment with God.
310
00:14:18.220 --> 00:14:21.670
And that's when you're in a
position to make a confession,
311
00:14:21.670 --> 00:14:26.290
a declaration, which really has amazing results.
312
00:14:26.290 --> 00:14:29.920
And notice it says in verse 23,
313
00:14:31.270 --> 00:14:33.100
the confession of our faith.
314
00:14:33.100 --> 00:14:35.500
But did you know that when you
read this in the Greek text,
315
00:14:35.500 --> 00:14:38.980
the word, faith, is not there in the text.
316
00:14:38.980 --> 00:14:43.065
It is the Greek word, elpistos.
317
00:14:44.620 --> 00:14:48.730
It's from the word elpis. And guess what this word is?
318
00:14:48.730 --> 00:14:50.440
It is the word for hope -
319
00:14:51.440 --> 00:14:55.790
hope or expectation -
320
00:14:57.050 --> 00:14:59.660
expectation. It's not a hope
321
00:14:59.660 --> 00:15:02.240
so hope - I hope it happens.
322
00:15:02.240 --> 00:15:03.800
But when we talk about elpis
323
00:15:03.800 --> 00:15:07.940
or biblical hope, we're talking about a hope that is so real
324
00:15:07.940 --> 00:15:09.710
that it's turned into expectation.
325
00:15:09.710 --> 00:15:12.590
You are really expecting this thing to come
326
00:15:12.590 --> 00:15:15.410
to pass in your life.
327
00:15:15.410 --> 00:15:16.850
That's what real hope is.
328
00:15:16.850 --> 00:15:20.240
It is a full expectation that
329
00:15:20.240 --> 00:15:24.080
what God has told you absolutely will come to pass.
330
00:15:24.080 --> 00:15:27.860
And in fact, you're waiting for its manifestation right now.
331
00:15:27.860 --> 00:15:31.250
And now the writer of Hebrews is writing to Jewish believers
332
00:15:31.250 --> 00:15:32.780
that are discouraged.
333
00:15:32.780 --> 00:15:34.220
They've been waiting and waiting
334
00:15:34.220 --> 00:15:35.900
and waiting to see some things happen
335
00:15:35.900 --> 00:15:37.820
and they're tempted to let go of their faith.
336
00:15:37.820 --> 00:15:41.330
So first of all, he says, katecho, hold onto your faith.
337
00:15:41.330 --> 00:15:43.610
You grab hold of it, you suppress it.
338
00:15:43.610 --> 00:15:44.690
Put all your weight on it.
339
00:15:44.690 --> 00:15:47.420
Don't let anyone take it away from you.
340
00:15:47.420 --> 00:15:49.460
Hold fast to the confession -
341
00:15:49.460 --> 00:15:53.120
homologeon: you and God need to get on the same page.
342
00:15:53.120 --> 00:15:55.610
You need to get into agreement with God about
343
00:15:55.610 --> 00:15:57.890
what he has promised to your life
344
00:15:57.890 --> 00:16:01.910
and my friends, you need to have a full expectation that
345
00:16:01.910 --> 00:16:06.140
what he has promised is
exactly what he will do.
346
00:16:06.140 --> 00:16:09.620
And then he adds - without wavering.
347
00:16:09.620 --> 00:16:11.750
What does it mean to waver?
348
00:16:11.750 --> 00:16:14.150
Well the word, waver, is a very interesting word.
349
00:16:14.150 --> 00:16:17.325
It is the Greek word aklines -
350
00:16:18.680 --> 00:16:23.000
aklines. The word 'a' has a canceling effect.
351
00:16:23.000 --> 00:16:26.600
The word, klines, is actually from the Greek word klino.
352
00:16:26.600 --> 00:16:30.710
And the word klino means to recline:
353
00:16:30.710 --> 00:16:33.440
to recline. It means to go to bed.
354
00:16:34.340 --> 00:16:38.540
It describes one who yields, one who surrenders
355
00:16:39.470 --> 00:16:43.730
or one who gives up ground, or
one who surrenders territory.
356
00:16:43.730 --> 00:16:47.480
But when you put an 'a' on the
front, it means do not yield.
357
00:16:47.480 --> 00:16:51.470
Do not surrender. Do not
go to bed. Don't recline.
358
00:16:51.470 --> 00:16:54.920
Don't surrender ground.
Don't you dare do it.
359
00:16:54.920 --> 00:16:58.790
Do this without wavering.
Do what without wavering -
360
00:16:58.790 --> 00:17:00.950
hold fast.
361
00:17:00.950 --> 00:17:05.600
If God has made you a promise, katecho, you've gotta echo,
362
00:17:05.600 --> 00:17:07.100
you've gotta hold it, embrace it,
363
00:17:07.100 --> 00:17:08.900
and kate, you've gotta hold it down.
364
00:17:08.900 --> 00:17:12.650
You can't let anyone take it from you. And, homologeon,
365
00:17:12.650 --> 00:17:14.930
you've gotta get into agreement with God about
366
00:17:14.930 --> 00:17:18.260
what he has done with the full expectation,
367
00:17:18.260 --> 00:17:20.960
that is the Greek word, elpidos, that he's gonna do
368
00:17:20.960 --> 00:17:22.820
what he has promised you.
369
00:17:22.820 --> 00:17:26.480
And you've gotta do all these things, aklines,
370
00:17:26.480 --> 00:17:30.770
without wavering; which means a person
371
00:17:30.770 --> 00:17:35.450
who waivers is a person who begins to give up territory.
372
00:17:36.290 --> 00:17:38.990
They begin to surrender
ground, they begin to yield,
373
00:17:38.990 --> 00:17:40.700
they begin to recline,
374
00:17:40.700 --> 00:17:44.150
and eventually they just
go to bed on their faith.
375
00:17:44.150 --> 00:17:48.170
They go to bet on their
faith and they just give up.
376
00:17:48.170 --> 00:17:50.820
But this is not just the word, klines, it's aklines.
377
00:17:50.820 --> 00:17:53.760
That word 'a' has a canceling or reversing effect.
378
00:17:53.760 --> 00:17:58.410
It means don't surrender, don't yield, don't recline,
379
00:17:58.410 --> 00:18:00.600
don't go to bed on your faith.
380
00:18:01.980 --> 00:18:06.210
Now remember, the writer of Hebrews was writing to believers
381
00:18:06.210 --> 00:18:08.610
that had been waiting a long time
382
00:18:08.610 --> 00:18:13.080
and they were tempted to aklines - to waver.
383
00:18:13.080 --> 00:18:14.640
They were tempted to go to bed on their faith,
384
00:18:14.640 --> 00:18:15.930
to surrenders, to give up.
385
00:18:15.930 --> 00:18:18.660
He says, don't do it,
don't do it, don't do it.
386
00:18:18.660 --> 00:18:21.120
And they may have said, why
387
00:18:21.120 --> 00:18:24.150
should we keep believing; we've been believing and believing
388
00:18:24.150 --> 00:18:28.980
and believing and believing. Why should we keep believing?
389
00:18:28.980 --> 00:18:30.810
And the writer of Hebrews answers
390
00:18:30.810 --> 00:18:35.700
that question in Hebrews 10:23,
391
00:18:35.700 --> 00:18:39.330
and he gives us the reason
why we should never give up.
392
00:18:39.330 --> 00:18:44.310
And he says, for he is faithful
393
00:18:45.480 --> 00:18:48.900
that promised. God is faithful.
394
00:18:48.900 --> 00:18:52.470
And if God has made a promise to you, God intends
395
00:18:52.470 --> 00:18:54.240
to fully deliver the promise.
396
00:18:54.240 --> 00:18:57.510
But he needs you to get into agreement
397
00:18:57.510 --> 00:18:59.160
and to get into alignment with him.
398
00:18:59.160 --> 00:19:02.730
And it just might be the problem really is not God.
399
00:19:02.730 --> 00:19:06.630
It might be you. Maybe God is ready to answer your question.
400
00:19:06.630 --> 00:19:09.540
He's able to give you what you're believing for right now.
401
00:19:09.540 --> 00:19:10.890
But it's like a pipe.
402
00:19:10.890 --> 00:19:14.640
If that pipe is filled
with all kinds of clutter,
403
00:19:14.640 --> 00:19:15.930
the answer can't get through it.
404
00:19:15.930 --> 00:19:17.010
That's why it's so important
405
00:19:17.010 --> 00:19:18.143
you understand the word confession,
406
00:19:18.143 --> 00:19:19.151
the Greek word, homologeon.
407
00:19:19.151 --> 00:19:20.160
It's you
408
00:19:20.160 --> 00:19:24.510
and God getting into
agreement, lining up with God.
409
00:19:24.510 --> 00:19:27.600
And finally, you're so in alignment with God
410
00:19:27.600 --> 00:19:29.850
that you can make a bold confession of faith,
411
00:19:29.850 --> 00:19:33.330
you can declare your expectation, but you
412
00:19:33.330 --> 00:19:34.830
and God have to be in agreement,
413
00:19:35.820 --> 00:19:39.630
or you have to be in alignment
in order for that answer
414
00:19:39.630 --> 00:19:40.650
to get through to you.
415
00:19:41.490 --> 00:19:44.370
And if you're the one who says, well, I've been believing
416
00:19:44.370 --> 00:19:46.770
and believing and I haven't seen the manifestation,
417
00:19:46.770 --> 00:19:50.190
and I just don't know why I should stay in a place of faith,
418
00:19:50.190 --> 00:19:52.200
well, the answer is at the end of verse 23.
419
00:19:52.200 --> 00:19:55.470
The reason you should keep
holding fast to the confession
420
00:19:55.470 --> 00:19:58.620
of your faith and maintain your full expectation is
421
00:19:58.620 --> 00:20:02.610
because - he is faithful
422
00:20:03.630 --> 00:20:06.810
that promise. God is not a man that lies.
423
00:20:06.810 --> 00:20:09.240
He's not the son of man
that changes his mind.
424
00:20:09.240 --> 00:20:13.380
And what God promised to do is
exactly what God intends you
425
00:20:13.380 --> 00:20:15.270
to do is what he intends to do.
426
00:20:15.270 --> 00:20:17.400
He just needs you to get into agreement
427
00:20:17.400 --> 00:20:19.380
and get into alignment so
428
00:20:19.380 --> 00:20:23.850
that manifestation can
come into your life.
429
00:20:23.850 --> 00:20:25.740
Now, I've got more to say to you,
430
00:20:25.740 --> 00:20:28.825
and then I'll be back in just a moment.
431
00:20:36.005 --> 00:20:37.710
Do you ever have a bad mood?
432
00:20:37.710 --> 00:20:40.440
And what do you do if
you're in a bad mood?
433
00:20:40.440 --> 00:20:43.530
Well, Joel, I don't allow bad moods.
434
00:20:43.530 --> 00:20:46.800
You know, emotions are very expensive,
435
00:20:46.800 --> 00:20:48.490
and you have to decide how you're going
436
00:20:48.490 --> 00:20:50.380
to spend your emotions.
437
00:20:50.380 --> 00:20:53.950
And if you spend your emotions on moods,
438
00:20:53.950 --> 00:20:56.140
then you're not gonna
have the emotions you need
439
00:20:56.140 --> 00:20:57.760
when they're needed.
440
00:20:57.760 --> 00:21:00.220
You have to remember, emotions are expensive
441
00:21:00.220 --> 00:21:03.430
and you've got to determine how you're going to spend them.
442
00:21:03.430 --> 00:21:04.780
And I've just made a decision
443
00:21:04.780 --> 00:21:06.880
that I'm not gonna be a moody person.
444
00:21:06.880 --> 00:21:09.970
And those who know me know
I'm pretty much the same
445
00:21:09.970 --> 00:21:11.980
all the time.
446
00:21:11.980 --> 00:21:15.310
And you know what? God's like that. He's the Lord God
447
00:21:15.310 --> 00:21:18.280
that changes not. God's not in a good mood one day
448
00:21:18.280 --> 00:21:20.590
and in a bad mood the next day.
449
00:21:20.590 --> 00:21:23.350
And I think the closer you draw to the Lord,
450
00:21:23.350 --> 00:21:26.650
the more stable you are in your emotions
451
00:21:26.650 --> 00:21:29.530
and you cease to be a moody person.
452
00:21:29.530 --> 00:21:33.670
So the truth is, I just don't allow bad moods in my life.
453
00:21:35.470 --> 00:21:39.250
Hebrews 10:23 says, Let us hold fast the profession
454
00:21:39.250 --> 00:21:40.870
of our faith without wavering
455
00:21:40.870 --> 00:21:45.670
for he is faithful that promised. Time, isolation, the enemy
456
00:21:45.670 --> 00:21:48.040
and even loved ones can steal our confidence
457
00:21:48.040 --> 00:21:49.180
in God's promises.
458
00:21:49.180 --> 00:21:50.650
But God is faithful.
459
00:21:50.650 --> 00:21:54.040
We must be unwavering in our
faith, especially in the midst
460
00:21:54.040 --> 00:21:57.160
of the thieves that come to
steal our God-given dreams.
461

489
00:23:10.180 --> 00:23:12.490
Hey friends, this is Rick Renner
490
00:23:12.490 --> 00:23:17.200
and I'm standing just outside
the editorial department
491
00:23:17.200 --> 00:23:18.940
in the Tulsa headquarters building.
492
00:23:18.940 --> 00:23:22.780
You have eight people that
work just in editorial
493
00:23:22.780 --> 00:23:26.800
because these fingers are
typing a lot of information
494
00:23:26.800 --> 00:23:27.820
and revelation.
495
00:23:27.820 --> 00:23:29.830
God spoke to me years ago
496
00:23:29.830 --> 00:23:33.760
and said he would speak through my fingers if I would write,
497
00:23:33.760 --> 00:23:35.350
and I've been writing ever since.
498
00:23:35.350 --> 00:23:37.090
And just outside editorial,
499
00:23:37.090 --> 00:23:40.270
we have several key scriptures. Here we have 2 Timothy
500
00:23:40.270 --> 00:23:43.060
3:16-17, All scripture
501
00:23:43.060 --> 00:23:44.530
is given by inspiration of God
502
00:23:44.530 --> 00:23:47.720
and it's profitable for doctrine, reproof, correction,
503
00:23:47.720 --> 00:23:49.460
instruction in righteousness.
504
00:23:49.460 --> 00:23:50.990
I really believe that.
505
00:23:50.990 --> 00:23:53.930
Next to that, we have Ecclesiastes 8:4.
506
00:23:53.930 --> 00:23:55.940
You've heard this before, "Where the word
507
00:23:55.940 --> 00:23:58.730
of a king is there is power."
508
00:23:58.730 --> 00:24:01.790
And next there's a sign, the
prophetic word, which God gave
509
00:24:01.790 --> 00:24:03.260
to me in 1978 -
510
00:24:03.260 --> 00:24:06.710
Write, write, write and I'll prosper what you write.
511
00:24:06.710 --> 00:24:09.260
And I've been writing ever since.
512
00:24:09.260 --> 00:24:12.590
This is a very important part of our ministry
513
00:24:12.590 --> 00:24:16.880
because we send published revelation,
514
00:24:16.880 --> 00:24:20.810
information, all kinds of material to the ends
515
00:24:20.810 --> 00:24:22.580
of the earth.
516
00:24:22.580 --> 00:24:25.190
And you're a part of it
because you're a partner.
517
00:24:25.190 --> 00:24:28.820
You know, we've recently just finished 70%
518
00:24:28.820 --> 00:24:31.280
of our Ministry Expansion Project.
519
00:24:31.280 --> 00:24:33.260
Now 30% remains.
520
00:24:33.260 --> 00:24:35.930
If you're part of the team,
I wanna say thank you.
521
00:24:35.930 --> 00:24:37.460
If you're not a part of the team
522
00:24:37.460 --> 00:24:39.830
to help us retire the
debt on this building
523
00:24:39.830 --> 00:24:41.420
and the whole project,
524
00:24:41.420 --> 00:24:43.670
would you please become part of the team?
525
00:24:43.670 --> 00:24:47.150
We wanna release all those
funds so we can redirect them
526
00:24:47.150 --> 00:24:50.420
to take more teaching of the
Bible to the ends of the earth
527
00:24:50.420 --> 00:24:52.790
where people are crying out - God,
528
00:24:52.790 --> 00:24:55.400
please send me teaching that I can trust.
529
00:24:55.400 --> 00:24:58.970
Please pray about becoming
a part of our giving team.
530
00:25:04.010 --> 00:25:05.870
I am so glad that you've been with me
531
00:25:05.870 --> 00:25:07.670
for today's program today.
532
00:25:07.670 --> 00:25:09.350
I've started my brand new series called, How
533
00:25:09.350 --> 00:25:10.640
to Stay in a Place of Faith.
534
00:25:10.640 --> 00:25:13.040
And maybe you are the
one that's been tempted
535
00:25:13.040 --> 00:25:14.810
to let go of your faith.
536
00:25:14.810 --> 00:25:17.240
Maybe you've been believing,
you've been confessing,
537
00:25:17.240 --> 00:25:19.190
doing everything you know to do,
538
00:25:19.190 --> 00:25:22.610
and you still haven't
seen the manifestation of
539
00:25:22.610 --> 00:25:24.590
what you've been believing for
540
00:25:24.590 --> 00:25:26.840
and you're attempted to let it go.
541
00:25:26.840 --> 00:25:28.460
My friends don't do that.
542
00:25:28.460 --> 00:25:31.940
Hebrews 10:23 says, it is time for you
543
00:25:31.940 --> 00:25:35.420
to hold fast to the confession of your faith.
544
00:25:35.420 --> 00:25:37.220
And the reason you need to hold fast is
545
00:25:37.220 --> 00:25:41.000
because he is faithful that promised. God is going
546
00:25:41.000 --> 00:25:42.680
to do exactly what he promised,
547
00:25:42.680 --> 00:25:45.890
but he needs you to stay
in a place of faith.
548
00:25:45.890 --> 00:25:48.410
And that's why I want you to
order the whole series called,
549
00:25:48.410 --> 00:25:50.540
How to Stay in a Place of Faith.
550
00:25:50.540 --> 00:25:53.690
You Need This. It's a
10 part series, comes
551
00:25:53.690 --> 00:25:55.250
with a wonderful study guide.
552
00:25:55.250 --> 00:25:57.830
And we're also offering you now my book,
553
00:25:57.830 --> 00:26:01.040
which is called - Dream Thieves, Overcoming Obstacles
554
00:26:01.040 --> 00:26:03.770
to Fulfill Your Dreams.
555
00:26:03.770 --> 00:26:05.840
They're usually our obstacles along the way,
556
00:26:05.840 --> 00:26:08.090
but you can overcome them.
557
00:26:08.090 --> 00:26:11.330
And most of what I have
taught in today's program is
558
00:26:11.330 --> 00:26:12.770
also in this book.
559
00:26:12.770 --> 00:26:16.130
But you can order all these
things by going online
560
00:26:16.130 --> 00:26:17.390
or by giving us a call.
561
00:26:17.390 --> 00:26:19.430
And again, I tell you that
when you reach out to us,
562
00:26:19.430 --> 00:26:22.010
we're praying people and
we want to pray for you.
563
00:26:22.010 --> 00:26:23.660
We want to hear from you.
564
00:26:23.660 --> 00:26:26.695
So call the number on the
screen or send us an email.
565
00:26:26.695 --> 00:26:29.750
And as soon as we hear from
you, we're going to pray,
566
00:26:29.750 --> 00:26:31.580
Heaven is going to hear us,
567
00:26:31.580 --> 00:26:35.630
and God is gonna move in your
life and it's gonna be great.
568
00:26:35.630 --> 00:26:38.300
So reach out to us and
we'll pray with you.
569
00:26:38.300 --> 00:26:39.770
But I wanna pray with you right now.
570
00:26:39.770 --> 00:26:41.810
So put your hand on your heart.
571
00:26:41.810 --> 00:26:44.850
Father, I thank you in the of
Jesus that you're not a man
572
00:26:44.850 --> 00:26:48.030
that lies, you don't change your mind,
573
00:26:48.030 --> 00:26:50.520
and when you promise to do something, you do it.
574
00:26:50.520 --> 00:26:55.200
And help us to hold fast to the confession of our faith
575
00:26:55.200 --> 00:26:58.590
and to be fully expectant that you're really gonna do
576
00:26:58.590 --> 00:27:01.260
what you've promised: in Jesus' name,
577
00:27:02.100 --> 00:27:03.960
Amen. I'll see you tomorrow,
578
00:27:03.960 --> 00:27:07.320
but until then, remember Ecclesiastes 8:4 says,
579
00:27:07.320 --> 00:27:11.190
"Where the word of the king is, there is power."
580
00:27:11.190 --> 00:27:13.470
If you've never received Jesus as your Savior
581
00:27:13.470 --> 00:27:17.850
and Lord, now is the time for you to experience a new life
582
00:27:17.850 --> 00:27:20.010
Jesus has to give you.
583
00:27:20.010 --> 00:27:24.090
Pray this prayer with me right now: Lord,
584
00:27:24.090 --> 00:27:28.110
I repent of my sin and receive you as my Savior
585
00:27:28.110 --> 00:27:31.080
and Lord. Wash away my sin
586
00:27:31.080 --> 00:27:34.080
and make me completely new.
587
00:27:34.080 --> 00:27:37.890
I thank you that my sin is removed
588
00:27:37.890 --> 00:27:42.890
and Satan no longer has any
right to lay claim on me.
589
00:27:43.440 --> 00:27:47.400
I faithfully promise that
I will serve you as my Lord
590
00:27:47.400 --> 00:27:49.110
for the rest of my life.
591
00:27:50.235 --> 00:27:51.235
Amen.
592
00:27:56.190 --> 00:27:58.410
