00:00:01.230 --> 00:00:03.900
This program is made
possible by the giving
2
00:00:03.900 --> 00:00:07.950
of the God called partners
of Renner Ministries.
3
00:00:07.950 --> 00:00:11.190
Get ready for a teaching
that feeds your spirit
4
00:00:11.190 --> 00:00:13.020
and your mind
5
00:00:13.020 --> 00:00:16.740
where the word is the
anchor in uncertain times.
6
00:00:16.740 --> 00:00:20.040
And doctrine doesn't bend to culture.
7
00:00:20.040 --> 00:00:21.480
We keep it simple,
8
00:00:21.480 --> 00:00:26.040
but dive deep revealing a
truth that strengthens us,
9
00:00:26.910 --> 00:00:28.530
a love that emboldens,
10
00:00:29.940 --> 00:00:32.100
and a mission that touches the world.
11
00:00:34.440 --> 00:00:35.970
Let's join Rick Renner.
12
00:00:38.670 --> 00:00:40.230
Welcome to today's program.
13
00:00:40.230 --> 00:00:42.570
My name is Rick Renner
14
00:00:42.570 --> 00:00:45.600
and my friend, I'm so excited
that you've let me come right
15
00:00:45.600 --> 00:00:46.860
to where you are
16
00:00:46.860 --> 00:00:49.740
and I know you've got a
lot of things to do today
17
00:00:49.740 --> 00:00:53.100
and for you to make time for
me really means something to me
18
00:00:53.100 --> 00:00:56.190
and I hope it's going to make
a difference in your life.
19
00:00:56.190 --> 00:00:59.820
And today I'm gonna continue
to talk to you about how
20
00:00:59.820 --> 00:01:02.400
to stay in a place of faith.
21
00:01:02.400 --> 00:01:05.610
And I want you to order the
entire series. It's 10 parts.
22
00:01:05.610 --> 00:01:09.060
It's called, How to Stay in a Place of Faith.
23
00:01:09.060 --> 00:01:12.510
Once you finally get where
you're supposed to be,
24
00:01:12.510 --> 00:01:15.210
they're always forces to try
to pull you out of that place.
25
00:01:15.210 --> 00:01:18.090
Well, how do you stay where
you're supposed to be?
26
00:01:18.090 --> 00:01:20.400
How do you stay in a place of faith?
27
00:01:20.400 --> 00:01:22.920
That's what this entire series is about
28
00:01:22.920 --> 00:01:25.560
and it comes with a wonderful
study guide and friends.
29
00:01:25.560 --> 00:01:27.510
I put a lot of work into these study guides
30
00:01:27.510 --> 00:01:29.550
because I truly believe
31
00:01:29.550 --> 00:01:31.920
that when you read the information while you're seeing
32
00:01:31.920 --> 00:01:35.070
or hearing the series, it has a double whammy effect.
33
00:01:35.070 --> 00:01:38.580
It really causes the truth
to get down deep inside you.
34
00:01:38.580 --> 00:01:41.880
And I want this truth to
be down deep inside you.
35
00:01:41.880 --> 00:01:44.760
And we're also offering
you right now my book,
36
00:01:44.760 --> 00:01:48.360
which is called Dream Thieves - Overcoming Obstacles
37
00:01:48.360 --> 00:01:51.120
to Fulfill Your Dreams.
38
00:01:51.120 --> 00:01:54.120
And there really are
dream thieves that come
39
00:01:54.120 --> 00:01:57.360
to tug the dream of God
right outta your hand
40
00:01:57.360 --> 00:01:58.530
so that you will lose it.
41
00:01:58.530 --> 00:02:00.990
And you've got to know
how to overcome them.
42
00:02:00.990 --> 00:02:05.190
And that's why the subtitle
says, overcoming obstacles
43
00:02:05.190 --> 00:02:07.560
to fulfill your dreams.
44
00:02:07.560 --> 00:02:10.470
But you can order all these
things by going online
45
00:02:10.470 --> 00:02:12.300
or by giving us a call right now.
46
00:02:12.300 --> 00:02:14.670
And when you reach out to us,
47
00:02:14.670 --> 00:02:16.050
let us know how to pray for you.
48
00:02:16.050 --> 00:02:19.380
We're told in 1 John 5:14
49
00:02:19.380 --> 00:02:24.300
& 15, listen to this; If we pray anything according
50
00:02:24.300 --> 00:02:27.840
to his will - what does that mean?
51
00:02:27.840 --> 00:02:30.060
If you pray anything
according to his word,
52
00:02:30.060 --> 00:02:34.770
if you pray scripturally,
that is his will, he hears us.
53
00:02:34.770 --> 00:02:38.940
And if he hears us, then we're
going to have the petitions
54
00:02:38.940 --> 00:02:40.950
that we have requested of him.
55
00:02:40.950 --> 00:02:42.540
Maybe you don't know how
56
00:02:42.540 --> 00:02:45.780
to pray scripturally about
what you're dealing with.
57
00:02:45.780 --> 00:02:47.910
Maybe you're dealing with a relationship
58
00:02:47.910 --> 00:02:49.440
or something in your finances
59
00:02:49.440 --> 00:02:52.050
or something at your job, you
just don't know how to pray.
60
00:02:52.050 --> 00:02:55.590
According to the will of
God will reach out to us
61
00:02:55.590 --> 00:02:59.290
because we'll open our Bibles
and we will pray scripturally.
62
00:02:59.290 --> 00:03:03.430
And we have the guarantee
that if we pray scripturally,
63
00:03:03.430 --> 00:03:06.100
he will hear us.
64
00:03:06.100 --> 00:03:08.650
God is listening for his word.
65
00:03:08.650 --> 00:03:12.670
And when we speak his word in
prayer, God's ears open up.
66
00:03:12.670 --> 00:03:14.050
He hears us.
67
00:03:14.050 --> 00:03:16.630
And the Bible promises
that if he hears us,
68
00:03:16.630 --> 00:03:20.620
we will have the petitions
that we requested of him.
69
00:03:20.620 --> 00:03:23.260
So we wanna pray with
you, reach out to us.
70
00:03:23.260 --> 00:03:25.360
You can just call the
number that's on the screen.
71
00:03:25.360 --> 00:03:28.060
We're waiting for your call right now,
72
00:03:28.060 --> 00:03:30.130
or you can send us an email
73
00:03:30.130 --> 00:03:32.350
and the moment we hear from
you, we're gonna really begin
74
00:03:32.350 --> 00:03:33.550
to pray scripturally for you.
75
00:03:33.550 --> 00:03:35.830
And Jesus is gonna do
what needs to be done.
76
00:03:35.830 --> 00:03:39.400
And if you're a partner, I
wanna say partner, thank you
77
00:03:39.400 --> 00:03:40.990
for everything you do
78
00:03:40.990 --> 00:03:44.890
because of you we're able
to take the trusted teaching
79
00:03:44.890 --> 00:03:46.450
of the Bible to the ends of the earth.
80
00:03:46.450 --> 00:03:48.220
And if you're not a partner yet,
81
00:03:48.220 --> 00:03:52.150
please pray about becoming a
part of our partner family,
82
00:03:52.150 --> 00:03:54.670
but reach for your Bible.
83
00:03:54.670 --> 00:03:56.560
We always use the Bible in this program.
84
00:03:56.560 --> 00:04:00.610
And today we're going to return to Hebrews 10,
85
00:04:00.610 --> 00:04:05.410
where we're talking about how to stay in a place of faith.
86
00:04:05.410 --> 00:04:09.250
And I can personally
testify that over many years
87
00:04:09.250 --> 00:04:12.820
of ministry, God has asked
my wife and I and our family
88
00:04:12.820 --> 00:04:17.820
and our ministry to tackle
some pretty impossible tasks.
89
00:04:18.250 --> 00:04:21.280
But we've learned that if we
will get in a place of faith
90
00:04:21.280 --> 00:04:26.260
and stay there, we can do anything God has asked us to do.
91
00:04:26.260 --> 00:04:27.460
That doesn't mean that there are not
92
00:04:27.460 --> 00:04:29.590
obstacles because there are.
93
00:04:29.590 --> 00:04:31.720
And in fact, when you're
finally in a place of faith,
94
00:04:31.720 --> 00:04:34.090
the enemy will try to move
you out of that place.
95
00:04:34.090 --> 00:04:36.970
I'm thinking about when we
begin to build the studio
96
00:04:36.970 --> 00:04:40.360
that I'm standing in: the very day
97
00:04:40.360 --> 00:04:43.390
that the concrete trucks
came to pour the foundation
98
00:04:43.390 --> 00:04:47.560
of this building, something
really serious happened
99
00:04:47.560 --> 00:04:49.630
that tried to personally stop me.
100
00:04:50.650 --> 00:04:53.860
And my administrator said, shall I tell the concrete trucks
101
00:04:53.860 --> 00:04:55.270
to pack it up and go home?
102
00:04:55.270 --> 00:04:58.600
I said, no, I'm not moving
out of my place of faith.
103
00:04:58.600 --> 00:05:00.880
And it's very common for an attack
104
00:05:00.880 --> 00:05:04.360
to come when you're in a
place of faith; it's trying
105
00:05:04.360 --> 00:05:06.400
to move you out of that place
106
00:05:06.400 --> 00:05:09.610
because the devil knows that
if you stay in that place
107
00:05:09.610 --> 00:05:11.710
where God has called you and
if you stand in faith for
108
00:05:11.710 --> 00:05:13.720
what you believe in, you're gonna receive
109
00:05:13.720 --> 00:05:16.390
and people's lives are
going to be changed.
110
00:05:16.390 --> 00:05:18.580
And the devil doesn't want that to happen
111
00:05:18.580 --> 00:05:22.900
and that's why he tries to move you out of a place of faith.
112
00:05:22.900 --> 00:05:26.620
But open your Bible to Hebrews 10:23,
113
00:05:26.620 --> 00:05:28.270
and I want to review the very first part
114
00:05:28.270 --> 00:05:29.470
of this verse again.
115
00:05:29.470 --> 00:05:32.800
And in Hebrews 10:23, it says,
116
00:05:32.800 --> 00:05:36.100
And let us hold fast the confession
117
00:05:36.100 --> 00:05:38.470
of our faith without wavering
118
00:05:38.470 --> 00:05:43.270
for he is faithful that promised. Listen to that -
119
00:05:43.270 --> 00:05:47.740
he is faithful that promised - which means God is intending
120
00:05:47.740 --> 00:05:50.290
to do exactly what he said he would do.
121
00:05:50.290 --> 00:05:53.590
But you've gotta stay in
that place in order for you
122
00:05:53.590 --> 00:05:56.830
to see the manifestation of
his promise and of your dream.
123
00:05:56.830 --> 00:05:59.630
But at the first of the verse it says, let us hold fast.
124
00:05:59.630 --> 00:06:01.820
So let's go back to the glass board
125
00:06:01.820 --> 00:06:03.620
and I wanna share this word hold fast
126
00:06:03.620 --> 00:06:05.180
with you one more time.
127
00:06:05.180 --> 00:06:07.430
And when you look at it in the Greek text,
128
00:06:07.430 --> 00:06:12.430
the word, hold fast, is the Greek word, katechō.
129
00:06:12.650 --> 00:06:14.600
It's actually a compound of two words.
130
00:06:14.600 --> 00:06:19.280
The first word is a contracted
form of the word kata.
131
00:06:19.280 --> 00:06:24.280
And the word kata means down,
oh, this is really important.
132
00:06:24.620 --> 00:06:29.480
The 2nd word, the Greek word, echo, means to have
133
00:06:31.550 --> 00:06:35.720
to hold, to possess,
134
00:06:38.390 --> 00:06:42.500
or to embrace - to embrace.
135
00:06:43.430 --> 00:06:45.710
And when you compound
the two words together,
136
00:06:45.710 --> 00:06:49.400
they form the word, katechō,
which means to have hold
137
00:06:49.400 --> 00:06:50.960
to possess and to embrace
138
00:06:50.960 --> 00:06:55.850
and to hold it, kata: to hold
it down or to suppress it.
139
00:06:55.850 --> 00:07:00.260
And the idea is if God
has made a promise to you,
140
00:07:00.260 --> 00:07:02.150
you've gotta really hold onto it.
141
00:07:02.150 --> 00:07:04.850
And that is why the King
James translators translate it
142
00:07:04.850 --> 00:07:06.740
as the word hold fast.
143
00:07:06.740 --> 00:07:07.940
You've gotta hold onto it.
144
00:07:07.940 --> 00:07:09.770
You've gotta wrap your arms around it.
145
00:07:09.770 --> 00:07:12.380
Say, this is what God has promised me.
146
00:07:12.380 --> 00:07:16.550
I'm embracing it, I have it,
I hold it, I am possessing it,
147
00:07:16.550 --> 00:07:19.550
I'm embracing it with all of my might.
148
00:07:19.550 --> 00:07:22.370
But the word kata, means you've gotta really put your weight
149
00:07:22.370 --> 00:07:24.920
on top of it because life
150
00:07:24.920 --> 00:07:27.590
or the devil will try to
take it away from you.
151
00:07:27.590 --> 00:07:28.880
And therefore you've got to say,
152
00:07:28.880 --> 00:07:31.400
I'm putting everything I have into this.
153
00:07:31.400 --> 00:07:33.170
I'm sitting on top of this.
154
00:07:33.170 --> 00:07:37.010
I'm not gonna let anybody
take this away from me.
155
00:07:37.880 --> 00:07:42.140
And this word, katechō, is used in a really negative sense
156
00:07:42.140 --> 00:07:44.060
in Romans 1:18,
157
00:07:44.060 --> 00:07:47.360
where it describes ungodly men who hold
158
00:07:47.360 --> 00:07:50.210
the truth in unrighteousness.
159
00:07:50.210 --> 00:07:52.430
That word hold is this word, katechō.
160
00:07:52.430 --> 00:07:56.420
And it is the picture of ungodly men who know the truth,
161
00:07:56.420 --> 00:07:59.270
they have heard the truth and
they don't like the truth.
162
00:07:59.270 --> 00:08:02.180
So, katechō, they suppress the truth,
163
00:08:02.180 --> 00:08:03.560
they try to put a lid on it.
164
00:08:03.560 --> 00:08:07.220
They say, bury the truth,
don't let the truth get out.
165
00:08:08.180 --> 00:08:10.130
So they suppress it.
166
00:08:10.130 --> 00:08:13.010
But in a positive sense,
this word, katechō means
167
00:08:13.010 --> 00:08:15.800
that if God has made a promise to you,
168
00:08:15.800 --> 00:08:18.860
and if you know you're where you're supposed to be,
169
00:08:18.860 --> 00:08:21.590
you've gotta wrap your
arms around that thing,
170
00:08:21.590 --> 00:08:23.720
you've gotta put all
your weight on top of it.
171
00:08:23.720 --> 00:08:26.090
You've gotta suppress it in a good sense
172
00:08:26.090 --> 00:08:30.530
because life will try to
take it away from you.
173
00:08:30.530 --> 00:08:33.650
And we saw in previous programs
174
00:08:33.650 --> 00:08:38.120
that there are primarily 6-Dream Thieves which come
175
00:08:38.120 --> 00:08:40.040
to steal the dream of God from your life.
176
00:08:40.040 --> 00:08:41.600
And I want to cover them very quickly
177
00:08:41.600 --> 00:08:45.530
again. Dream Thief No.1: time.
178
00:08:45.530 --> 00:08:48.680
We are told in Proverbs 13:12,
179
00:08:48.680 --> 00:08:51.170
that hope deferred makes the heart sad
180
00:08:51.170 --> 00:08:54.230
and time really has the voice.
181
00:08:54.230 --> 00:08:57.420
Time will speak you when you've been waiting and waiting
182
00:08:57.420 --> 00:08:59.580
and waiting and waiting and standing in faith.
183
00:08:59.580 --> 00:09:01.620
And it seems like this thing
is never going to happen,
184
00:09:01.620 --> 00:09:03.510
time will begin to speak to you
185
00:09:03.510 --> 00:09:04.800
and it will say, you know, maybe you ought
186
00:09:04.800 --> 00:09:07.500
to just let loose and let it go.
187
00:09:07.500 --> 00:09:10.620
When time begins to say that to you is when, katechō,
188
00:09:10.620 --> 00:09:13.020
that's when you need to hold on more tightly
189
00:09:13.020 --> 00:09:14.490
than ever before.
190
00:09:14.490 --> 00:09:16.890
But if you make it
beyond the voice of time,
191
00:09:17.790 --> 00:09:21.180
then there's the voice of your friends
192
00:09:22.170 --> 00:09:24.120
and your friends love you,
193
00:09:24.120 --> 00:09:26.490
and your friends are concerned about you.
194
00:09:26.490 --> 00:09:28.440
So if they see you waiting for something
195
00:09:28.440 --> 00:09:30.690
and waiting for something,
but it's never happening,
196
00:09:30.690 --> 00:09:34.110
they may logically try
to talk you out of it.
197
00:09:34.110 --> 00:09:35.700
They may say, you know,
maybe you're wrong.
198
00:09:35.700 --> 00:09:37.830
Maybe this is not really
what God intended.
199
00:09:37.830 --> 00:09:41.820
And if you really listen to
the voice of your friends,
200
00:09:41.820 --> 00:09:43.710
they will pull that promise
201
00:09:43.710 --> 00:09:46.230
and that dream right out of your hands.
202
00:09:46.230 --> 00:09:48.600
And that's a time for you to, katechō,
203
00:09:48.600 --> 00:09:51.810
to really hold it down
and embrace it tight.
204
00:09:51.810 --> 00:09:55.080
But if you make it beyond
the voice of your friends,
205
00:09:55.080 --> 00:09:59.640
No.3, you gotta deal with the voice of your family.
206
00:09:59.640 --> 00:10:01.410
Well, if your friends love you,
207
00:10:01.410 --> 00:10:03.150
how much more does your family love you
208
00:10:03.150 --> 00:10:06.150
and your family is
legitimately concerned about
209
00:10:06.150 --> 00:10:07.620
your welfare.
210
00:10:07.620 --> 00:10:10.980
And when they see that
your life is on pause
211
00:10:10.980 --> 00:10:13.320
and you're just waiting
and waiting and waiting
212
00:10:13.320 --> 00:10:16.740
and waiting out of true
concern, they may say,
213
00:10:16.740 --> 00:10:18.210
just let it go.
214
00:10:18.210 --> 00:10:21.660
Let's just let this thing
go and move on with life.
215
00:10:21.660 --> 00:10:24.570
And when your family
begins to speak to you,
216
00:10:24.570 --> 00:10:27.150
their voice can be pretty authoritative.
217
00:10:27.150 --> 00:10:29.100
And in that moment you've got to - katechō -
218
00:10:29.100 --> 00:10:30.930
you've gotta really embrace
219
00:10:30.930 --> 00:10:32.610
what God has promised you and determine
220
00:10:32.610 --> 00:10:35.100
nobody's gonna take it away from you.
221
00:10:35.100 --> 00:10:37.590
But then if you make it
beyond time and your friends
222
00:10:37.590 --> 00:10:40.470
and your family, No.4, you come to the voice
223
00:10:40.470 --> 00:10:44.820
of Satan himself who comes to mock you
224
00:10:44.820 --> 00:10:47.280
and he says - Oh, this is so ridiculous.
225
00:10:47.280 --> 00:10:48.570
You're so foolish.
226
00:10:48.570 --> 00:10:50.430
You've been waiting and
waiting and waiting.
227
00:10:50.430 --> 00:10:54.780
This is never gonna happen. This is just a dream. Let it go.
228
00:10:55.830 --> 00:10:59.700
And if you make it beyond the
voice of the devil himself,
229
00:10:59.700 --> 00:11:02.490
there's dream thief No.5: oh,
230
00:11:02.490 --> 00:11:06.540
and this is a real serious one - neutrality -
231
00:11:06.540 --> 00:11:08.400
where you just get so tired
232
00:11:08.400 --> 00:11:12.210
that you just could not care
whether it happens or not.
233
00:11:12.210 --> 00:11:14.910
You say, you know what?
I've waited. I've believed.
234
00:11:14.910 --> 00:11:17.970
I thought this was so
important. I'm just exhausted.
235
00:11:17.970 --> 00:11:19.920
I am depleted and worn out.
236
00:11:19.920 --> 00:11:23.550
You just kind of become
neutral, my friends.
237
00:11:23.550 --> 00:11:25.620
That's the time for you to dig in
238
00:11:25.620 --> 00:11:28.830
and wrap your arms around that, reignite your passion
239
00:11:28.830 --> 00:11:33.060
for what God has promised or neutrality itself.
240
00:11:33.060 --> 00:11:34.200
We'll take it away from you,
241
00:11:34.200 --> 00:11:36.450
but there's one more dream thief,
242
00:11:36.450 --> 00:11:38.310
and this is the one I'm
gonna really focus on
243
00:11:38.310 --> 00:11:39.780
today, dream thief
244
00:11:39.780 --> 00:11:43.110
No.6: isolation.
245
00:11:43.110 --> 00:11:48.110
You are not supposed to do
the walk of faith by yourself.
246
00:11:48.300 --> 00:11:51.570
And when you are in a
position of isolation,
247
00:11:51.570 --> 00:11:55.360
you are more vulnerable to
the assault of the enemy,
248
00:11:55.360 --> 00:11:58.060
to the voice of time, to
the voice of your friends,
249
00:11:58.060 --> 00:12:00.610
your family, the devil speaking to you.
250
00:12:00.610 --> 00:12:02.680
Neutrality begins to affect you.
251
00:12:02.680 --> 00:12:05.170
But when you find yourself
surrounded by people
252
00:12:05.170 --> 00:12:09.340
who have like precious faith,
they will encourage you
253
00:12:09.340 --> 00:12:10.810
to stay in faith.
254
00:12:10.810 --> 00:12:13.450
That's why you need to go
to a church that is filled
255
00:12:13.450 --> 00:12:15.790
with people that really have faith.
256
00:12:15.790 --> 00:12:17.830
You need to be listening
to teaching ministries
257
00:12:17.830 --> 00:12:21.970
that build your faith. My friends, you are not intended
258
00:12:21.970 --> 00:12:24.670
by God to live in isolation.
259
00:12:24.670 --> 00:12:28.270
And it is very unfortunate
that many people go to church,
260
00:12:28.270 --> 00:12:31.330
but even in church, they're very lonely.
261
00:12:31.330 --> 00:12:33.580
They don't have relationships
262
00:12:33.580 --> 00:12:34.840
where they can open their heart
263
00:12:34.840 --> 00:12:36.820
and say to somebody, please encourage me.
264
00:12:36.820 --> 00:12:40.450
So they sit there alone, they
come to church feeling lonely.
265
00:12:40.450 --> 00:12:42.070
They enjoy the service, but they leave
266
00:12:42.070 --> 00:12:43.900
church feeling lonely.
267
00:12:43.900 --> 00:12:47.350
They just live in isolation. That is not God's will for you.
268
00:12:47.350 --> 00:12:49.360
And if you feel isolated right now
269
00:12:49.360 --> 00:12:52.960
and you need someone to stand
in faith with you - call us -
270
00:12:52.960 --> 00:12:54.100
or send us an email.
271
00:12:54.100 --> 00:12:58.000
We don't want you to be in a place of isolation.
272
00:12:58.000 --> 00:13:01.720
But let's go on to the following verse.
273
00:13:01.720 --> 00:13:06.040
And when you come to Hebrews 10:24, it says,
274
00:13:06.040 --> 00:13:08.710
And let us consider one another.
275
00:13:09.550 --> 00:13:12.850
Let us consider one another to provoke
276
00:13:12.850 --> 00:13:13.990
and to love and into good works
277
00:13:13.990 --> 00:13:15.250
and we saw this yesterday.
278
00:13:15.250 --> 00:13:19.565
And the word, consider, is the Greek word katanoeo.
279
00:13:21.555 --> 00:13:25.510
The word kata again means down.
280
00:13:26.530 --> 00:13:31.530
And the word noao means to think - to think.
281
00:13:31.960 --> 00:13:35.560
So when you compound the word together, the word, consider
282
00:13:35.560 --> 00:13:37.000
really means to think down.
283
00:13:37.000 --> 00:13:40.000
It describes deep, deep contemplation.
284
00:13:40.000 --> 00:13:43.930
This is not just a passing thought or a glance at something,
285
00:13:43.930 --> 00:13:48.880
but katanoeo, you're really thinking, kata, from the top all
286
00:13:48.880 --> 00:13:50.530
the way to the bottom.
287
00:13:50.530 --> 00:13:53.200
You're really giving your mind
288
00:13:53.200 --> 00:13:55.240
and your contemplation to this.
289
00:13:55.240 --> 00:13:57.910
And what is it that we are to consider?
290
00:13:57.910 --> 00:14:00.430
It says, let us consider one another.
291
00:14:00.430 --> 00:14:04.090
The word, one another, in Greek is the word allelos.
292
00:14:04.090 --> 00:14:07.960
And the word allelos describes something that is reciprocal,
293
00:14:07.960 --> 00:14:11.860
reciprocal and it describes a reciprocal relationship in the
294
00:14:11.860 --> 00:14:14.710
body of Christ, which means we need to have people
295
00:14:14.710 --> 00:14:16.510
that are considering us
296
00:14:16.510 --> 00:14:19.240
and we need to have people
that we are considering.
297
00:14:19.240 --> 00:14:23.320
And the word katanoeo which means to consider, means we need
298
00:14:23.320 --> 00:14:26.080
to really be focused on those that are around us.
299
00:14:26.080 --> 00:14:28.900
And we need somebody to be focused on us.
300
00:14:28.900 --> 00:14:31.150
We need to be studying believers, we need
301
00:14:31.150 --> 00:14:32.590
to study our friends.
302
00:14:32.590 --> 00:14:35.860
We need to deeply contemplate
what encourages them.
303
00:14:35.860 --> 00:14:38.140
That's what this word, katanoeo, mean,
304
00:14:38.140 --> 00:14:40.360
which in the King James Version is translated
305
00:14:40.360 --> 00:14:41.920
as the word, consider.
306
00:14:41.920 --> 00:14:44.560
You need to really be thinking
about them from the top all
307
00:14:44.560 --> 00:14:47.620
the way to the bottom, just like you would study a subject.
308
00:14:47.620 --> 00:14:52.220
You need to really study your wife, your husband, your kids,
309
00:14:52.220 --> 00:14:56.930
your friends, and figure out what encourages them,
310
00:14:56.930 --> 00:15:01.286
what discourages them, and, allalos, one another.
311
00:15:01.286 --> 00:15:04.773
This should be reciprocal. My friends,
312
00:15:04.773 --> 00:15:06.980
we are not called to live in isolation,
313
00:15:06.980 --> 00:15:10.010
but we're called to be a
part of other people's lives.
314
00:15:10.010 --> 00:15:11.600
And the verse goes on to say,
315
00:15:11.600 --> 00:15:14.720
and let us consider one another to provoke
316
00:15:15.710 --> 00:15:16.910
unto love and good works.
317
00:15:16.910 --> 00:15:19.280
Well, the word, provoke is the Greek word,
318
00:15:22.195 --> 00:15:25.730
paraoxysmos, from the word para.
319
00:15:26.930 --> 00:15:30.260
The word para describes something that is parallel.
320
00:15:30.260 --> 00:15:33.560
Parallel really describes
a side by side position.
321
00:15:34.820 --> 00:15:38.180
And the 2nd part of the word is from the word oxysmos,
322
00:15:38.180 --> 00:15:40.820
which describes something that is sharp.
323
00:15:40.820 --> 00:15:43.010
And it's interesting that in a Russian,
324
00:15:43.010 --> 00:15:44.600
it's the word for vinegar.
325
00:15:44.600 --> 00:15:46.700
But when you compound these two words together,
326
00:15:46.700 --> 00:15:50.060
it forms the word, paraoxysmos, which means
327
00:15:50.060 --> 00:15:54.260
to come alongside of somebody
else with a sharp instrument,
328
00:15:54.260 --> 00:15:57.050
something like a poker or a sharpen stick,
329
00:15:57.050 --> 00:15:58.820
and you just begin to pick them
330
00:15:58.820 --> 00:16:03.230
and poke them in the side until finally they get agitated.
331
00:16:03.230 --> 00:16:06.620
And the best example of this, as I told you yesterday,
332
00:16:06.620 --> 00:16:09.320
is in Acts 15:39,
333
00:16:09.320 --> 00:16:11.270
where the Bible tells us Paul
334
00:16:11.270 --> 00:16:15.140
and Barnabas had quite a fierce confrontation.
335
00:16:15.140 --> 00:16:20.140
And the Bible says the conflict between them was so sharp
336
00:16:20.390 --> 00:16:22.700
that they departed asunder from each other.
337
00:16:24.080 --> 00:16:25.730
Well, that's very negative,
338
00:16:25.730 --> 00:16:30.730
but just like they provoked
each other into a contention,
339
00:16:30.770 --> 00:16:32.390
this verse says, we're
340
00:16:32.390 --> 00:16:34.940
to provoke each other
under love into good works.
341
00:16:34.940 --> 00:16:36.230
And I'll give you an example.
342
00:16:36.230 --> 00:16:40.130
The very first time I ever taught on this verse, I was
343
00:16:40.130 --> 00:16:43.730
so excited about teaching on this verse,
344
00:16:43.730 --> 00:16:46.760
but I just felt that day in church I failed
345
00:16:46.760 --> 00:16:50.180
and I didn't communicate well.
It was many, many years ago.
346
00:16:50.180 --> 00:16:51.920
And when we walked outta church
347
00:16:51.920 --> 00:16:55.730
and got in the car, I said to Denise - Denise,
348
00:16:56.600 --> 00:16:57.950
I really failed today.
349
00:16:58.880 --> 00:17:01.340
I really wanted to communicate this truth.
350
00:17:01.340 --> 00:17:03.290
I just feel like I didn't hit the target,
351
00:17:03.290 --> 00:17:05.390
I just didn't get where I wanted to go.
352
00:17:05.390 --> 00:17:07.910
And Denise said, Rick,
353
00:17:09.110 --> 00:17:11.150
what are you talking about?
354
00:17:11.150 --> 00:17:13.430
It's like she drew right next to me.
355
00:17:13.430 --> 00:17:16.730
She said, this was so good. I'm so encouraged.
356
00:17:16.730 --> 00:17:19.850
You encouraged people to have reciprocal relationships
357
00:17:19.850 --> 00:17:21.980
with other people, to come alongside of other people,
358
00:17:21.980 --> 00:17:25.370
to provoke them, not to conflict, but to do what is good
359
00:17:25.370 --> 00:17:26.840
and to stay in a place of faith.
360
00:17:26.840 --> 00:17:31.040
And I said, oh, I know
what you're doing, Denise.
361
00:17:31.040 --> 00:17:35.270
You're doing what I preached
para, you're coming alongside
362
00:17:35.270 --> 00:17:37.250
of me as close as you can get.
363
00:17:38.750 --> 00:17:40.670
You are provoking me, Denise,
364
00:17:40.670 --> 00:17:42.710
you are just doing what I preach.
365
00:17:42.710 --> 00:17:44.570
And then it dawned on me,
366
00:17:44.570 --> 00:17:46.340
I guess I did a better job than I thought
367
00:17:46.340 --> 00:17:49.020
because Denise is certainly
doing it right now.
368
00:17:49.020 --> 00:17:52.140
Now let me ask you; who do you know that's about
369
00:17:52.140 --> 00:17:54.120
to give up? Here
370
00:17:54.120 --> 00:17:55.710
they've been in a place of faith,
371
00:17:56.610 --> 00:17:58.380
but now they're thinking
about releasing it
372
00:17:58.380 --> 00:18:01.440
because time has been speaking to them,
373
00:18:01.440 --> 00:18:03.120
their friends have been talking to them,
374
00:18:03.120 --> 00:18:04.410
their family's been talking,
375
00:18:04.410 --> 00:18:06.300
and the devil's been talking to them.
376
00:18:06.300 --> 00:18:08.340
Or maybe they're just tired
and they're about to give up.
377
00:18:08.340 --> 00:18:11.040
They're just neutral. Or maybe
they've just been in a place
378
00:18:11.040 --> 00:18:15.090
of isolation and they're just
tempted just to let it go.
379
00:18:15.090 --> 00:18:17.010
They have waited too long to let it go.
380
00:18:17.010 --> 00:18:20.400
They're too close to the
victory to let it go now.
381
00:18:20.400 --> 00:18:23.970
And you need to, katanoeo, consider them.
382
00:18:23.970 --> 00:18:25.830
You need to look at them
383
00:18:25.830 --> 00:18:28.320
and figure out what encourages them.
384
00:18:28.320 --> 00:18:30.540
You need to really think
about them from the top
385
00:18:30.540 --> 00:18:32.550
to the bottom until you understand exactly
386
00:18:32.550 --> 00:18:34.350
what you need to do for them.
387
00:18:34.350 --> 00:18:36.990
Really contemplate how to take action.
388
00:18:36.990 --> 00:18:41.190
And when you figure it out, paraoxysmos, you need
389
00:18:41.190 --> 00:18:43.320
to - para - come alongside of them,
390
00:18:43.320 --> 00:18:46.020
find a parallel position next to them
391
00:18:46.020 --> 00:18:50.280
and oxysmos, you need to begin to poke them.
392
00:18:50.280 --> 00:18:54.150
You need to begin to provoke them, not to conflict,
393
00:18:54.150 --> 00:18:55.950
but you need to say you can do it.
394
00:18:55.950 --> 00:18:58.830
Come on, what are you talking about?
395
00:18:58.830 --> 00:19:01.320
You need to draw a nigh to them
396
00:19:01.320 --> 00:19:04.020
and you need to tell them you've waited too long to give up.
397
00:19:04.020 --> 00:19:06.090
You're too close to the victory for you
398
00:19:06.090 --> 00:19:07.590
to walk away from it
399
00:19:07.590 --> 00:19:09.840
now. What are you doing?
400
00:19:09.840 --> 00:19:12.330
You're right on the edge of your victory.
401
00:19:12.330 --> 00:19:14.580
Look how well you've stood in faith.
402
00:19:14.580 --> 00:19:16.380
Look how long you've been believing.
403
00:19:16.380 --> 00:19:18.371
People are watching you.
404
00:19:18.371 --> 00:19:21.810
Do you want people to see a
real victorious picture of faith
405
00:19:21.810 --> 00:19:25.350
or do they want to see a
failed picture of faith?
406
00:19:25.350 --> 00:19:29.160
You need to provoke them
unto love and good works.
407
00:19:29.160 --> 00:19:32.490
And good works is sticking with
408
00:19:32.490 --> 00:19:35.190
what God promised.
409
00:19:35.190 --> 00:19:39.600
But then we come to the next
verse and the next verse says,
410
00:19:39.600 --> 00:19:44.070
and not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together
411
00:19:44.070 --> 00:19:46.320
as the manner of some is,
412
00:19:47.250 --> 00:19:51.990
but exhorting one another,
exhorting one another,
413
00:19:51.990 --> 00:19:56.990
and so much the more as you
see the day approaching.
414
00:19:57.120 --> 00:19:59.040
What does that mean when it says,
415
00:19:59.040 --> 00:20:01.380
not forsaking the assumption
of ourselves together
416
00:20:01.380 --> 00:20:06.360
as the manner of some is,
but exhorting one another.
417
00:20:06.360 --> 00:20:11.040
These words are so very,
very important that that is
418
00:20:11.040 --> 00:20:13.590
what I'm going to be
covering in the next program.
419
00:20:13.590 --> 00:20:16.650
And I don't want you to
miss the next program
420
00:20:16.650 --> 00:20:19.050
because it's really important for you
421
00:20:19.050 --> 00:20:21.480
and it's important for your
friends that are trying
422
00:20:21.480 --> 00:20:22.860
to stay in a place of faith.
423
00:20:22.860 --> 00:20:25.890
And you need this
instruction from scripture.
424
00:20:25.890 --> 00:20:29.190
So please don't miss tomorrow's program,
425
00:20:29.190 --> 00:20:32.160
but I've gotten more to say to you
426
00:20:32.160 --> 00:20:34.710
and then I'm gonna come
back to pray for you.
427
00:20:43.260 --> 00:20:45.960
This is Rick Renner and somebody has asked a good question -
428
00:20:45.960 --> 00:20:50.500
Can I have a relationship with God without going to church?
429
00:20:50.500 --> 00:20:54.340
What many people live
where there is no church?
430
00:20:54.340 --> 00:20:57.220
And of course they have
a relationship with God.
431
00:20:57.220 --> 00:20:59.770
The moment you call Jesus
the Lord of your life,
432
00:20:59.770 --> 00:21:02.410
the Holy Spirit comes into you, you're sealed
433
00:21:02.410 --> 00:21:06.670
by the Holy Spirit and you have direct access to the Father.
434
00:21:06.670 --> 00:21:10.330
But we are told in Hebrews 10 that especially
435
00:21:10.330 --> 00:21:12.850
as we come to the very end of the age,
436
00:21:12.850 --> 00:21:16.870
we need the encouragement of others and my friends,
437
00:21:16.870 --> 00:21:19.510
I need the strength of other believers in my life.
438
00:21:19.510 --> 00:21:22.960
And when I go to church, I
get something in fellowship
439
00:21:22.960 --> 00:21:27.130
with them that I don't get
what I'm at home alone.
440
00:21:27.130 --> 00:21:29.830
And so yes, you can have
a relationship with God
441
00:21:29.830 --> 00:21:33.610
by yourself, but you need the
strength of other believers.
442
00:21:33.610 --> 00:21:37.030
So make certain that you
find a place to fellowship
443
00:21:37.030 --> 00:21:39.100
because you need the local
444
00:21:39.100 --> 00:21:40.720
Church.
445
00:21:40.720 --> 00:21:44.530
Hebrews 10:23 says, let us hold fast the profession
446
00:21:44.530 --> 00:21:46.150
of our faith without wavering.
447
00:21:46.150 --> 00:21:50.950
For he is faithful that promised. Time, isolation, the enemy
448
00:21:50.950 --> 00:21:53.320
and even loved ones can steal our confidence
449
00:21:53.320 --> 00:21:54.460
in God's promises.
450
00:21:54.460 --> 00:21:55.900
But God is faithful.
451
00:21:55.900 --> 00:21:59.320
We must be unwavering in our
faith, especially in the midst
452
00:21:59.320 --> 00:22:02.440
of the thieves that come to
steal our God-given dreams.
453
00:22:02.440 --> 00:22:06.400

481
00:23:15.430 --> 00:23:17.740
Hey friends, this is Rick Renner
482
00:23:17.740 --> 00:23:22.450
and I'm standing just outside the Editorial Department
483
00:23:22.450 --> 00:23:24.190
in the Tulsa Headquarters building.
484
00:23:24.190 --> 00:23:28.030
You have eight people that work just in editorial
485
00:23:28.030 --> 00:23:31.240
because these fingers are typing a lot
486
00:23:31.240 --> 00:23:33.040
of information and revelation.
487
00:23:33.040 --> 00:23:35.050
God spoke to me years ago
488
00:23:35.050 --> 00:23:39.010
and said he would speak through my fingers if I would write,
489
00:23:39.010 --> 00:23:40.570
and I've been writing ever since.
490
00:23:40.570 --> 00:23:42.340
And just outside editorial,
491
00:23:42.340 --> 00:23:45.500
we have several key scriptures; here we have 2 Timothy
492
00:23:45.500 --> 00:23:48.320
3:16-17, All scripture
493
00:23:48.320 --> 00:23:49.790
is given by inspiration of God
494
00:23:49.790 --> 00:23:52.970
and is profitable for doctrine, reproof, correction,
495
00:23:52.970 --> 00:23:54.680
instruction in righteousness.
496
00:23:54.680 --> 00:23:56.210
I really believe that.
497
00:23:56.210 --> 00:23:59.180
Next to that we have Ecclesiastes 8:4 -
498
00:23:59.180 --> 00:24:01.190
you've heard this before - "Where the word
499
00:24:01.190 --> 00:24:03.980
of a king is there is power",
500
00:24:03.980 --> 00:24:07.040
and next there's a sign, the prophetic word, which God gave
501
00:24:07.040 --> 00:24:08.510
to me a 1978 -
502
00:24:08.510 --> 00:24:11.960
Write, write, write and I'll prosper what you write.
503
00:24:11.960 --> 00:24:14.570
And I've been writing ever since.
504
00:24:14.570 --> 00:24:17.810
This is a very important
part of our ministry
505
00:24:17.810 --> 00:24:22.130
because we send published revelation
506
00:24:22.130 --> 00:24:26.060
information, all kinds of material to the ends
507
00:24:26.060 --> 00:24:27.830
of the earth.
508
00:24:27.830 --> 00:24:30.440
And you're a part of it
because you're a partner.
509
00:24:30.440 --> 00:24:34.070
You know, we've recently just finished 70%
510
00:24:34.070 --> 00:24:36.530
of our Ministry Expansion Project.
511
00:24:36.530 --> 00:24:38.510
Now 30% remains.
512
00:24:38.510 --> 00:24:41.180
If you're part of the team,
I wanna say thank you.
513
00:24:41.180 --> 00:24:42.710
If you're not a part of the team
514
00:24:42.710 --> 00:24:45.020
to help us retire the debt on this building
515
00:24:45.020 --> 00:24:46.640
and the whole project,
516
00:24:46.640 --> 00:24:48.890
would you please become part of the team?
517
00:24:48.890 --> 00:24:52.400
We wanna release all those
funds so we can redirect them
518
00:24:52.400 --> 00:24:55.640
to take more teaching of the
Bible to the ends of the earth
519
00:24:55.640 --> 00:24:58.040
where people are crying out, God,
520
00:24:58.040 --> 00:25:00.680
please send me teaching that I can trust.
521
00:25:00.680 --> 00:25:04.220
Please pray about becoming a part of our Giving Team
522
00:25:10.220 --> 00:25:11.053
today.
523
00:25:11.053 --> 00:25:13.340
I've been talking to you about not being in a place
524
00:25:13.340 --> 00:25:14.840
of isolation,
525
00:25:14.840 --> 00:25:18.560
or maybe you know someone that's pretty isolated right now.
526
00:25:18.560 --> 00:25:21.470
And in that place of isolation, they're trying
527
00:25:21.470 --> 00:25:25.070
to stay in a place of faith by themself.
528
00:25:25.070 --> 00:25:27.770
It's really hard to do faith by yourself.
529
00:25:27.770 --> 00:25:29.210
You need to have people around you
530
00:25:29.210 --> 00:25:32.360
that have like precious
faith that can encourage you
531
00:25:32.360 --> 00:25:34.970
and provoke you to stay in faith
532
00:25:34.970 --> 00:25:37.520
until you receive the manifestation of
533
00:25:37.520 --> 00:25:41.330
what you've been believing
to come to pass in your life.
534
00:25:41.330 --> 00:25:42.920
My friends, you need that.
535
00:25:42.920 --> 00:25:44.690
You need to go to a church
536
00:25:44.690 --> 00:25:46.910
where you can have good
fellowship that encourages you
537
00:25:46.910 --> 00:25:48.770
and where you can encourage someone else.
538
00:25:48.770 --> 00:25:50.660
This should be reciprocal.
539
00:25:50.660 --> 00:25:54.440
We've seen this in Hebrews 10:24 today,
540
00:25:54.440 --> 00:25:55.970
but when we come back
tomorrow, we're going
541
00:25:55.970 --> 00:25:59.510
to begin in verse 25 and
it's really going to be good,
542
00:25:59.510 --> 00:26:03.020
but please order the entire
series, which is called, How
543
00:26:03.020 --> 00:26:05.720
to Stay in a Place of Faith.
544
00:26:05.720 --> 00:26:08.990
And remember that it comes with a wonderful study guide
545
00:26:08.990 --> 00:26:11.060
and we're also offering you now my book,
546
00:26:11.060 --> 00:26:13.430
which is called Dream Thieves.
547
00:26:14.600 --> 00:26:17.480
They come, but you need to
know how to overcome them.
548
00:26:17.480 --> 00:26:20.990
And that's why the subtitle
says, Overcoming Obstacles
549
00:26:20.990 --> 00:26:22.670
to Fulfill your Dreams.
550
00:26:22.670 --> 00:26:25.130
This book is jam packed with faith
551
00:26:25.130 --> 00:26:29.180
and it will help you walk
right into the promise
552
00:26:29.180 --> 00:26:31.910
and the dream that
you've been waiting for.
553
00:26:31.910 --> 00:26:35.510
So please order this and all
these things by going online
554
00:26:35.510 --> 00:26:38.450
or by simply giving us a call right now.
555
00:26:38.450 --> 00:26:40.220
But I wanna pray for you; Father, thank you
556
00:26:40.220 --> 00:26:44.310
in the name of Jesus that you've called us; Lord,
557
00:26:44.310 --> 00:26:45.600
you've given us your promise
558
00:26:45.600 --> 00:26:48.540
and you do not want us to let loose.
559
00:26:48.540 --> 00:26:51.540
And in those moments when we're attempted just to let it go,
560
00:26:51.540 --> 00:26:54.570
help us to say no and embrace
it with all of our heart
561
00:26:54.570 --> 00:26:57.540
and determine we're gonna put
all of our weight on top of it
562
00:26:57.540 --> 00:27:00.540
and let not anybody take it away from us
563
00:27:00.540 --> 00:27:04.380
and stay in faith until we
receive the manifestation.
564
00:27:04.380 --> 00:27:07.050
In Jesus' name - Amen.
565
00:27:07.920 --> 00:27:09.930
Hey, I'll see you in the next program,
566
00:27:09.930 --> 00:27:12.720
but remember Ecclesiastes 8:4 says, "Where the word
567
00:27:12.720 --> 00:27:16.590
of a king is, there really is power."
568
00:27:16.590 --> 00:27:18.840
If you've never received
Jesus as your Savior
569
00:27:18.840 --> 00:27:23.220
and Lord, now is the time for
you to experience a new life
570
00:27:23.220 --> 00:27:25.380
Jesus has to give you.
571
00:27:25.380 --> 00:27:29.460
Pray this prayer with me right now; Lord,
572
00:27:29.460 --> 00:27:33.480
I repent of my sin and receive you as my Savior
573
00:27:33.480 --> 00:27:36.450
and Lord. Wash away my sin
574
00:27:36.450 --> 00:27:39.450
and make me completely new.
575
00:27:39.450 --> 00:27:43.230
I thank you that my sin is removed
576
00:27:43.230 --> 00:27:48.230
and Satan no longer has any
right to lay claim on me.
577
00:27:48.810 --> 00:27:52.800
I faithfully promise that
I will serve you as my Lord
578
00:27:52.800 --> 00:27:54.480
for the rest of my life.
579
00:27:55.435 --> 00:27:56.435
Amen.
580
