00:00:01.260 --> 00:00:03.990
This program is made
possible by the giving
2
00:00:03.990 --> 00:00:08.070
of the God called partners
of Renner Ministries.
3
00:00:08.070 --> 00:00:11.250
Get ready for a teaching
that feeds your spirit
4
00:00:11.250 --> 00:00:14.820
and your mind where the
word is the anchor in
5
00:00:14.820 --> 00:00:16.800
uncertain times
6
00:00:16.800 --> 00:00:20.100
and doctrine doesn't bend to culture.
7
00:00:20.100 --> 00:00:21.510
We keep it simple,
8
00:00:21.510 --> 00:00:26.100
but dive deep revealing a
truth that strengthens us,
9
00:00:26.970 --> 00:00:28.860
a love that emboldens,
10
00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:32.160
and a mission that touches the world.
11
00:00:34.470 --> 00:00:36.060
Let's join Rick Renner.
12
00:00:38.790 --> 00:00:40.200
Welcome to today's program.
13
00:00:40.200 --> 00:00:42.870
My name is Rick Renner and
I've been waiting for you
14
00:00:42.870 --> 00:00:46.200
and today it's the end of the week.
15
00:00:46.200 --> 00:00:48.420
It seems like this week
has just gone like this
16
00:00:48.420 --> 00:00:52.590
as we've been studying how
to stay in a place of faith.
17
00:00:52.590 --> 00:00:54.810
And today is the last day this week
18
00:00:54.810 --> 00:00:57.750
that I'm offering you the 10-parts series called, How
19
00:00:57.750 --> 00:01:00.060
to Stay in a Place of Faith.
20
00:01:00.060 --> 00:01:02.430
And it comes with a wonderful study guide.
21
00:01:02.430 --> 00:01:03.990
Please order these.
22
00:01:03.990 --> 00:01:05.730
If God has promised you something
23
00:01:05.730 --> 00:01:08.370
and you're standing in
faith, you need to know how
24
00:01:08.370 --> 00:01:12.030
to stay in a place of
faith until you receive
25
00:01:12.030 --> 00:01:13.260
what has been promised,
26
00:01:13.260 --> 00:01:15.360
and that's what this series is all about.
27
00:01:15.360 --> 00:01:17.940
And we're also offering you my book,
28
00:01:17.940 --> 00:01:20.130
which is called, Dream Thieves.
29
00:01:20.130 --> 00:01:22.860
The subtitle says, Overcoming obstacles
30
00:01:22.860 --> 00:01:25.320
to fulfill your dreams.
31
00:01:25.320 --> 00:01:27.510
And I have learned that it
is absolutely guaranteed
32
00:01:27.510 --> 00:01:31.290
that when you launch out
to do anything by faith,
33
00:01:31.290 --> 00:01:33.060
the devil doesn't just sit on the side
34
00:01:33.060 --> 00:01:34.440
and watch you have a victory.
35
00:01:34.440 --> 00:01:37.260
He tries to get in your way to stop you
36
00:01:37.260 --> 00:01:39.630
and he will create obstacles.
37
00:01:39.630 --> 00:01:42.300
And you need to know how
to overcome obstacles
38
00:01:42.300 --> 00:01:43.500
to fulfill your dream
39
00:01:43.500 --> 00:01:47.910
or to receive whatever it is
that you are believing for.
40
00:01:47.910 --> 00:01:49.650
And that's why I wrote this book
41
00:01:49.650 --> 00:01:52.590
and I know that it will
be a blessing to you;
42
00:01:52.590 --> 00:01:55.770
but you can order all of
these things by going online
43
00:01:55.770 --> 00:01:57.060
or by giving us a call.
44
00:01:57.060 --> 00:01:58.410
And I always tell you,
45
00:01:58.410 --> 00:02:01.680
and I mean it from my heart,
that we want to pray for you.
46
00:02:01.680 --> 00:02:03.720
And so if you have a prayer need
47
00:02:03.720 --> 00:02:06.360
and you're just wishing there
was somebody that could pray
48
00:02:06.360 --> 00:02:10.170
with you and encourage you and
the Lord, well here we are.
49
00:02:10.170 --> 00:02:12.510
We want to be that person.
50
00:02:12.510 --> 00:02:14.550
So call the number on the screen
51
00:02:14.550 --> 00:02:16.620
or send us an email if you would prefer.
52
00:02:16.620 --> 00:02:19.830
And as soon as we hear from
you, either by you calling
53
00:02:19.830 --> 00:02:22.590
or sending an email, we're
gonna release our faith.
54
00:02:22.590 --> 00:02:25.500
And we truly believe Jesus is going
55
00:02:25.500 --> 00:02:29.010
to do something magnificent for you.
56
00:02:29.010 --> 00:02:30.960
But hey, I want you to
reach for your Bible
57
00:02:30.960 --> 00:02:34.410
and today we're gonna return to Hebrews 10,
58
00:02:34.410 --> 00:02:38.130
and I want us to begin reading in verse 23 where the writer
59
00:02:38.130 --> 00:02:41.490
of Hebrews says, and Let us hold fast the profession
60
00:02:41.490 --> 00:02:43.710
of our faith without wavering.
61
00:02:43.710 --> 00:02:47.340
We've seen in previous programs the words, hold fast,
62
00:02:47.340 --> 00:02:49.860
are translations of the Greek word, katechō.
63
00:02:49.860 --> 00:02:52.530
The word kata means down. The word echo means
64
00:02:52.530 --> 00:02:54.330
to hold or to embrace.
65
00:02:54.330 --> 00:02:57.270
It really means to wrap
your arms around that thing,
66
00:02:57.270 --> 00:03:01.000
to hold it so tight, to put
all your weight on top of it
67
00:03:01.000 --> 00:03:04.720
so nobody can pull it out of your hands.
68
00:03:04.720 --> 00:03:07.540
And there are dream
thieves that are gonna try
69
00:03:07.540 --> 00:03:09.160
to steal the dream of God from your
70
00:03:09.160 --> 00:03:10.810
hands and from your heart.
71
00:03:10.810 --> 00:03:12.490
And I've identified six of them.
72
00:03:12.490 --> 00:03:16.300
No.1: we find dream thief No.1 is time.
73
00:03:16.300 --> 00:03:17.350
Time will speak to you
74
00:03:17.350 --> 00:03:19.780
and try to tell you to give up. If you make it
75
00:03:19.780 --> 00:03:21.340
beyond the voice of time,
76
00:03:21.340 --> 00:03:24.490
No.2 is the voice of your friends who love you.
77
00:03:24.490 --> 00:03:26.530
They're probably concerned about you
78
00:03:26.530 --> 00:03:28.540
and they say, oh, you've
been waiting so long
79
00:03:28.540 --> 00:03:29.590
for this thing to happen.
80
00:03:29.590 --> 00:03:31.480
It's never happened and
maybe you should just give it
81
00:03:31.480 --> 00:03:32.890
up and move on.
82
00:03:32.890 --> 00:03:36.940
You gotta resist that voice
and embrace that promise.
83
00:03:36.940 --> 00:03:38.500
But if you make it beyond your friends,
84
00:03:38.500 --> 00:03:41.140
then you got the voice of
your family who really,
85
00:03:41.140 --> 00:03:43.630
really love you and
they're concerned for you.
86
00:03:43.630 --> 00:03:46.540
And out of their concern they might say,
87
00:03:46.540 --> 00:03:48.820
are you absolutely sure
that God spoke to you
88
00:03:48.820 --> 00:03:50.020
and my friends,
89
00:03:50.020 --> 00:03:53.170
they can talk you out of
what God has promised you.
90
00:03:53.170 --> 00:03:55.960
Now maybe you have a family
that's very supportive,
91
00:03:55.960 --> 00:03:57.640
but some people do not.
92
00:03:57.640 --> 00:03:59.680
But when your family
begins to speak to you,
93
00:03:59.680 --> 00:04:02.290
you gotta wrap your arms around what God has promised you
94
00:04:02.290 --> 00:04:03.400
and not let go of it.
95
00:04:03.400 --> 00:04:05.650
And then if you make it beyond
the voice of your family,
96
00:04:05.650 --> 00:04:09.370
there's the voice of the devil
himself who will mock you.
97
00:04:09.370 --> 00:04:11.380
He'll say, ah, you're so ridiculous here.
98
00:04:11.380 --> 00:04:13.540
You've been believing and
believing nothing's happened.
99
00:04:13.540 --> 00:04:17.260
He will mock you until
finally you agree with him
100
00:04:17.260 --> 00:04:19.540
and just give up. Don't do that.
101
00:04:19.540 --> 00:04:23.470
Instead, you need to hold fast
to what God has promised you.
102
00:04:23.470 --> 00:04:25.390
And then there's dream thief.
103
00:04:25.390 --> 00:04:28.960
No.5. - Ah, yah, yah - neutrality.
104
00:04:28.960 --> 00:04:32.410
This one's really tough
because it's just you.
105
00:04:32.410 --> 00:04:34.480
You just get tired of waiting.
106
00:04:34.480 --> 00:04:36.820
In fact, you get so tired
that eventually you come
107
00:04:36.820 --> 00:04:39.070
to a place where you say, You know what?
108
00:04:39.070 --> 00:04:42.220
There was a time when I was really passionate about
109
00:04:42.220 --> 00:04:43.870
what God promised and what I believe,
110
00:04:43.870 --> 00:04:46.960
but I have waited so long, I just don't care anymore.
111
00:04:46.960 --> 00:04:50.680
You just become neutral. Neutrality is a big enemy.
112
00:04:50.680 --> 00:04:53.140
And when you tend to be neutral concerning
113
00:04:53.140 --> 00:04:55.330
what God has promised you, it's time for you
114
00:04:55.330 --> 00:04:58.120
to dig in your heels, wrap your arms around
115
00:04:58.120 --> 00:05:02.320
or restore your fire and hold
fast to what God has promised.
116
00:05:02.320 --> 00:05:05.050
And No.6, isolation.
117
00:05:05.050 --> 00:05:07.930
Isolation is not God's will for your life.
118
00:05:07.930 --> 00:05:10.690
You are supposed to be in reciprocal relationships
119
00:05:10.690 --> 00:05:11.920
with other people.
120
00:05:11.920 --> 00:05:14.650
And this is what we've seen
the previous two programs.
121
00:05:14.650 --> 00:05:19.240
Now today we're going to go back to verse 25
122
00:05:19.240 --> 00:05:21.010
where the writer of Hebrews says,
123
00:05:21.010 --> 00:05:25.180
Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together
124
00:05:25.180 --> 00:05:29.620
as the manner of some is, but exhorting one another.
125
00:05:29.620 --> 00:05:31.810
So let's look at these words one more time
126
00:05:31.810 --> 00:05:35.770
and I want us to begin with a phrase - not forsaking.
127
00:05:35.770 --> 00:05:37.180
Well, when you see this in Greek,
128
00:05:37.180 --> 00:05:39.550
it's really a very important word.
129
00:05:39.550 --> 00:05:41.633
It is the Greek word, eg, kata, leipo.
130
00:05:45.100 --> 00:05:46.690
Now it's interesting
131
00:05:46.690 --> 00:05:49.060
that when you put this particular combination together,
132
00:05:49.060 --> 00:05:52.540
the word eg - EG, is actually pronounced in English like the
133
00:05:52.540 --> 00:05:54.250
word en.
134
00:05:54.250 --> 00:05:56.020
The 2nd word is the word, kata.
135
00:05:57.320 --> 00:05:59.540
The 3rd word, if you're spelling it in English would be
136
00:05:59.540 --> 00:06:03.260
L-E-I-P-O.
137
00:06:03.260 --> 00:06:07.850
The word leipo means to be behind, to have a deficit.
138
00:06:07.850 --> 00:06:09.620
It's really what it means.
139
00:06:09.620 --> 00:06:12.044
The word kata describes being down.
140
00:06:12.044 --> 00:06:13.453
The word en means in like
141
00:06:13.453 --> 00:06:14.960
to be in something.
142
00:06:14.960 --> 00:06:17.990
But when you compound these words together, it is translated
143
00:06:17.990 --> 00:06:19.850
as the word forsaking.
144
00:06:19.850 --> 00:06:22.610
But there's really much
more in this word than that.
145
00:06:22.610 --> 00:06:26.900
It describes the emotions of a person who leipo.
146
00:06:26.900 --> 00:06:30.140
He kind of feels like he's just behind everybody else.
147
00:06:30.140 --> 00:06:33.530
He's got such a deficit in his life
148
00:06:33.530 --> 00:06:36.020
and in fact, he's got
such a deficit in his life
149
00:06:36.020 --> 00:06:37.460
that emotionally he is, kata -
150
00:06:37.460 --> 00:06:39.170
he's just kind of down.
151
00:06:39.170 --> 00:06:41.720
And the word, en, tells us he's just kind
152
00:06:41.720 --> 00:06:45.860
of settled into this emotional state feeling down, out
153
00:06:45.860 --> 00:06:47.540
and behind.
154
00:06:47.540 --> 00:06:50.870
And the truth is that's
when many people begin
155
00:06:50.870 --> 00:06:52.670
to forsake the assembling of themselves
156
00:06:52.670 --> 00:06:54.290
with other faith-filled believers.
157
00:06:54.290 --> 00:06:56.060
And the reason they do that is
158
00:06:56.060 --> 00:06:59.750
because they say, Oh, I don't
wanna be around these people
159
00:06:59.750 --> 00:07:00.920
that are so filled with faith.
160
00:07:00.920 --> 00:07:03.830
They're shouting, hallelujah,
they're raising their hands.
161
00:07:03.830 --> 00:07:05.420
I don't feel like shouting Hallelujah.
162
00:07:05.420 --> 00:07:07.400
I don't feel like raising my hands.
163
00:07:07.400 --> 00:07:09.230
I don't even feel like going to church.
164
00:07:09.230 --> 00:07:11.270
And when they need fellowship
165
00:07:12.110 --> 00:07:15.560
and when they need encouragement, instead of going
166
00:07:15.560 --> 00:07:19.490
to the place where they can receive help, they say, Ah,
167
00:07:19.490 --> 00:07:22.231
I've got such a deficit in my life, leipo.
168
00:07:22.231 --> 00:07:24.539
I'm so far behind,
169
00:07:24.539 --> 00:07:26.120
I'm feeling kind of down and
170
00:07:26.120 --> 00:07:28.460
en, they just kinda give in to it.
171
00:07:28.460 --> 00:07:32.270
Our friends don't let that be you.
172
00:07:32.270 --> 00:07:34.280
And according to this verse,
173
00:07:34.280 --> 00:07:37.490
for some people it is their custom -
174
00:07:37.490 --> 00:07:39.890
not forsaking the assembling
of ourselves together
175
00:07:39.890 --> 00:07:43.310
as the manner of some is. The word manner,
176
00:07:43.310 --> 00:07:47.180
in Greek is the word, ethos - ethos.
177
00:07:47.180 --> 00:07:48.620
It describes a custom,
178
00:07:50.600 --> 00:07:51.433
it describes a
179
00:07:51.433 --> 00:07:55.940
behavior or a habit.
180
00:07:57.770 --> 00:07:59.600
And we find that for
some people it's their
181
00:07:59.600 --> 00:08:02.000
custom, it's their behavior
182
00:08:02.000 --> 00:08:05.600
it has become their habit - to avoid church
183
00:08:05.600 --> 00:08:07.400
and to avoid fellowship,
184
00:08:07.400 --> 00:08:10.610
especially when they need it.
185
00:08:11.930 --> 00:08:13.520
Don't let that be you.
186
00:08:13.520 --> 00:08:16.310
And if you're one of those
people that's down and out
187
00:08:16.310 --> 00:08:17.510
and you need encouragement
188
00:08:17.510 --> 00:08:18.470
and you don't know where to get
189
00:08:18.470 --> 00:08:20.300
encouragement, reach out to us.
190
00:08:20.300 --> 00:08:22.760
Call the number on the
screen or send us an email
191
00:08:22.760 --> 00:08:25.520
because we want to pray
for you and encourage you.
192
00:08:25.520 --> 00:08:27.620
And that's why the next
part of the verse says,
193
00:08:27.620 --> 00:08:32.570
but encouraging one another
or exhorting one another.
194
00:08:32.570 --> 00:08:36.620
And let's look at that word, exhorting, in Hebrews 10:
195
00:08:36.620 --> 00:08:37.700
25.
196
00:08:37.700 --> 00:08:42.700
And in Greek it is the word, para -
197
00:08:43.220 --> 00:08:46.370
kaleo. Now this is a very important word
198
00:08:46.370 --> 00:08:48.350
and I covered it in the previous program,
199
00:08:48.350 --> 00:08:49.880
but I didn't give you enough.
200
00:08:49.880 --> 00:08:51.440
So today I wanna go back there again.
201
00:08:51.440 --> 00:08:53.030
Then we're gonna move on.
202
00:08:53.030 --> 00:08:55.650
The first part of the word is the word para.
203
00:08:55.650 --> 00:08:59.160
If you wanna spell that in English, it's para.
204
00:08:59.160 --> 00:09:01.830
It describes something that is parallel
205
00:09:01.830 --> 00:09:06.420
or something that's alongside
or very, very close.
206
00:09:06.420 --> 00:09:09.390
But the 2nd part of the word, kaleo, in English would be
207
00:09:09.390 --> 00:09:12.060
spelled K-A-L-E-O.
208
00:09:12.060 --> 00:09:16.230
It means to call - to call.
209
00:09:16.230 --> 00:09:19.350
When you compound these two
words together, first of all,
210
00:09:19.350 --> 00:09:23.610
para, it describes one who
is very alongside of you.
211
00:09:23.610 --> 00:09:27.660
He's parallel to you, he's as
close to you as he can get.
212
00:09:27.660 --> 00:09:31.830
And kaleo, he's calling out to you; he's speaking to you,
213
00:09:31.830 --> 00:09:34.020
he's saying something to you.
214
00:09:34.020 --> 00:09:36.540
And when you compound the 2-words together, it is one
215
00:09:36.540 --> 00:09:39.090
that is called alongside.
216
00:09:39.090 --> 00:09:43.920
And that person's assignment is to speak to you, to besige
217
00:09:43.920 --> 00:09:46.860
you, to encourage you, to exhort you.
218
00:09:46.860 --> 00:09:49.320
And that's how it's translated
in the Kings James version.
219
00:09:49.320 --> 00:09:51.990
And this is the root word
220
00:09:51.990 --> 00:09:54.660
for the word comforter,
221
00:09:55.740 --> 00:09:59.070
which Jesus uses to describe the Holy Spirit.
222
00:09:59.070 --> 00:10:00.720
In John 14, 15
223
00:10:00.720 --> 00:10:05.370
and 16, 4 times the Holy Spirit is the paraklete.
224
00:10:05.370 --> 00:10:06.690
It comes from this same word.
225
00:10:06.690 --> 00:10:10.230
He is one that is para
called alongside of us.
226
00:10:10.230 --> 00:10:13.770
He's in us, he is with
us. He's alongside of us.
227
00:10:13.770 --> 00:10:16.830
And the Holy Spirit, kale is
speaking to us all the time,
228
00:10:16.830 --> 00:10:20.520
encouraging us, telling us
you can do it, you can do it.
229
00:10:20.520 --> 00:10:23.250
You've got the power of God,
you've got the blood of Jesus.
230
00:10:23.250 --> 00:10:26.700
The Holy Spirit is speaking
to us, he's advising us,
231
00:10:26.700 --> 00:10:29.580
he's stirring us, he's encouraging us.
232
00:10:29.580 --> 00:10:31.620
He is exhorting us.
233
00:10:32.580 --> 00:10:36.240
And so when we, para, draw
alongside of other believers
234
00:10:36.240 --> 00:10:39.390
and begin to call out to them, parakaleo,
235
00:10:39.390 --> 00:10:42.510
we are behaving like the Holy Spirit.
236
00:10:42.510 --> 00:10:46.800
That's what he does. This
makes us like the Holy Spirit.
237
00:10:46.800 --> 00:10:50.130
But there's something else about this word I have
238
00:10:50.130 --> 00:10:55.110
to tell you. This word, parakleo, was used militarily in
239
00:10:55.110 --> 00:10:59.790
a very important way to describe a commanding officer
240
00:10:59.790 --> 00:11:03.000
who had come alongside of his troops and
241
00:11:03.000 --> 00:11:06.810
before the troops were dispatched out to fight in battle,
242
00:11:06.810 --> 00:11:08.610
he would stir them,
243
00:11:08.610 --> 00:11:10.500
he would speak to them,
244
00:11:10.500 --> 00:11:13.620
he would describe the glories of victory.
245
00:11:13.620 --> 00:11:16.440
He would describe the
atrocities of warfare.
246
00:11:16.440 --> 00:11:18.900
He would tell them everything.
247
00:11:18.900 --> 00:11:20.820
So they couldn't be neutral about
248
00:11:20.820 --> 00:11:22.530
what they were about to face.
249
00:11:22.530 --> 00:11:26.940
He would stir the troops
to action like a commander.
250
00:11:26.940 --> 00:11:29.490
He would stir them, he would exhort them,
251
00:11:29.490 --> 00:11:31.440
he would encourage them.
252
00:11:31.440 --> 00:11:35.430
And that is the militaristic
use of this word parakaleo.
253
00:11:35.430 --> 00:11:38.160
And now in this verse it says
254
00:11:38.160 --> 00:11:42.270
that we like fellow soldiers
need to draw alongside
255
00:11:42.270 --> 00:11:44.880
of other believers that are in the battle.
256
00:11:44.880 --> 00:11:46.890
They're in the battle for their faith.
257
00:11:46.890 --> 00:11:51.450
They're believing; they're standing in faith believing that
258
00:11:51.450 --> 00:11:54.520
what God has pledged to them is going to come to pass.
259
00:11:54.520 --> 00:11:56.110
But the dream thieves have come
260
00:11:56.110 --> 00:11:58.810
to jerk the dream out of their hands.
261
00:11:58.810 --> 00:12:01.840
This is time for them to
hold fast, to wrap their arms
262
00:12:01.840 --> 00:12:04.480
around that thing, to not
let anybody take that dream
263
00:12:04.480 --> 00:12:06.220
and that promise away from them.
264
00:12:06.220 --> 00:12:10.150
But we as believers have the privilege
265
00:12:10.150 --> 00:12:11.740
of coming alongside of them,
266
00:12:11.740 --> 00:12:15.010
para, getting in a parallel position to them
267
00:12:15.010 --> 00:12:17.380
and kaleo, calling out to them.
268
00:12:17.380 --> 00:12:20.140
And just like the Holy
Spirit is a comforter to us,
269
00:12:20.140 --> 00:12:21.820
we can be a comforter to them.
270
00:12:21.820 --> 00:12:24.340
We can be like a commanding officer.
271
00:12:24.340 --> 00:12:27.040
We can say, Hey, the battle's real.
272
00:12:27.040 --> 00:12:29.440
And I know that you're
slugging it out one day
273
00:12:29.440 --> 00:12:32.470
after the next, but you stay in the battle
274
00:12:32.470 --> 00:12:36.700
because the reward for
a victory is tremendous.
275
00:12:36.700 --> 00:12:39.850
And right now you may feel
you are in the trenches,
276
00:12:39.850 --> 00:12:41.740
you may feel that you're
just slugging it out,
277
00:12:41.740 --> 00:12:43.900
just taking one little
step after the next step,
278
00:12:43.900 --> 00:12:48.580
but in front of you is a
glorious, glorious victory.
279
00:12:48.580 --> 00:12:52.360
And the Bible says, we need
to do this for one another.
280
00:12:52.360 --> 00:12:55.570
So when you come to Hebrews 10:25, it says,
281
00:12:55.570 --> 00:12:58.270
not forsaking, leipo.
282
00:12:58.270 --> 00:13:00.730
The third part of this compound word for forsaking.
283
00:13:00.730 --> 00:13:03.760
One who feels he has a deficit, he is
284
00:13:03.760 --> 00:13:06.070
behind everybody else, kata,
285
00:13:06.070 --> 00:13:08.800
he's just kind of feeling like he's just down and out
286
00:13:08.800 --> 00:13:10.840
and he gives into it.
287
00:13:10.840 --> 00:13:13.840
And because he is given into this emotional state, well, I'm
288
00:13:13.840 --> 00:13:16.810
so far behind everybody else.
289
00:13:16.810 --> 00:13:19.660
Everybody else has a victory report, a praise report.
290
00:13:19.660 --> 00:13:22.765
And here I am, the one still believing and believing
291
00:13:22.765 --> 00:13:25.630
and believing in, oh, I'm just so down.
292
00:13:25.630 --> 00:13:29.980
Rather than just giving into it, which is the ethos,
293
00:13:29.980 --> 00:13:33.160
the custom, the behavior
or the habit of some.
294
00:13:33.160 --> 00:13:37.810
It says instead, parakleo: we need to come alongside those
295
00:13:37.810 --> 00:13:40.210
that are struggling and allow
others to come alongside
296
00:13:40.210 --> 00:13:41.380
of us if we need it.
297
00:13:42.280 --> 00:13:43.360
We need to speak to them
298
00:13:43.360 --> 00:13:46.600
and allow them to speak
to us, to encourage us,
299
00:13:46.600 --> 00:13:51.600
to stir us up and to say,
don't you dare give up.
300
00:13:51.700 --> 00:13:53.500
You have been in this fight so long,
301
00:13:53.500 --> 00:13:55.420
you are right on the brink of
302
00:13:55.420 --> 00:13:57.670
what you've been believing for.
303
00:13:57.670 --> 00:13:59.560
Don't give up now!
304
00:14:00.400 --> 00:14:03.790
That's what this word, exhorting, really means.
305
00:14:03.790 --> 00:14:06.850
But then I want us to
go to the next verse.
306
00:14:06.850 --> 00:14:11.650
And when you come to Hebrews 10:32,
307
00:14:11.650 --> 00:14:13.420
the writer of Hebrews goes on to say,
308
00:14:13.420 --> 00:14:18.420
But call to remembrance the former days
309
00:14:18.610 --> 00:14:21.070
in which after you were illuminated,
310
00:14:21.070 --> 00:14:25.300
you endured a great fight of affliction.
311
00:14:25.300 --> 00:14:28.570
Notice it says, call to remembrance.
312
00:14:28.570 --> 00:14:31.990
It doesn't say, remember, it says call,
313
00:14:31.990 --> 00:14:34.540
call to remembrance.
314
00:14:34.540 --> 00:14:37.000
And the Greek word that is used here is the Greek word,
315
00:14:37.000 --> 00:14:38.860
anamimnesko.
316
00:14:43.540 --> 00:14:47.590
The word ana is a prefix which means to do it again.
317
00:14:47.590 --> 00:14:50.110
It also carries the idea of upward movement.
318
00:14:50.110 --> 00:14:53.120
The word mimnesko, is actually a form
319
00:14:53.120 --> 00:14:55.910
of the Greek word manea.
320
00:14:55.910 --> 00:14:58.550
And the word manea is the word for a statue,
321
00:15:00.380 --> 00:15:01.370
a monument
322
00:15:04.910 --> 00:15:05.960
or a immemorial.
323
00:15:07.610 --> 00:15:09.950
Now, this is quite an interesting word,
324
00:15:09.950 --> 00:15:11.930
but when you put all of this together,
325
00:15:11.930 --> 00:15:14.420
it means something very important.
326
00:15:14.420 --> 00:15:16.190
And here's what it means.
327
00:15:16.190 --> 00:15:18.565
First of all, we have to begin with this part
328
00:15:18.565 --> 00:15:19.923
of the word, mimnesko,
329
00:15:19.923 --> 00:15:22.225
which is from the Greek word
men, which describes a statue
330
00:15:22.225 --> 00:15:23.450
of monument or a memorial.
331
00:15:23.450 --> 00:15:26.330
Well, what is a statue?
What is a monument?
332
00:15:26.330 --> 00:15:30.050
What is a memorial? It
reminds you of something
333
00:15:30.050 --> 00:15:34.310
when you walk past a statue,
it reminds you of a person.
334
00:15:34.310 --> 00:15:36.710
When you walk past a
memorial, it reminds you
335
00:15:36.710 --> 00:15:38.120
of the acts of people.
336
00:15:38.120 --> 00:15:41.720
Or when you walk past a
monument, it is set there so
337
00:15:41.720 --> 00:15:44.150
that you never forget something.
338
00:15:44.150 --> 00:15:45.860
That's the first thing that it tells us.
339
00:15:45.860 --> 00:15:49.220
But there's something
else really important.
340
00:15:49.220 --> 00:15:53.870
This word mimnea, is also the word for a grave.
341
00:15:54.740 --> 00:15:58.100
And it tells us that if we
don't deliberately remember
342
00:15:58.100 --> 00:16:02.480
important things, they
become buried over time,
343
00:16:02.480 --> 00:16:04.400
they become buried over time.
344
00:16:05.240 --> 00:16:07.820
Memories that you should never forget,
345
00:16:07.820 --> 00:16:09.380
become buried over time.
346
00:16:09.380 --> 00:16:13.640
The clutter of life, you
get busy, life passes,
347
00:16:13.640 --> 00:16:16.940
years pass, and you
begin to forget things.
348
00:16:16.940 --> 00:16:18.740
This should be a statue, a monument,
349
00:16:18.740 --> 00:16:22.070
a memorial in your life, something that you should never,
350
00:16:22.070 --> 00:16:23.450
never, ever forget.
351
00:16:23.450 --> 00:16:26.870
And because the prefix, ana
is on the front of this,
352
00:16:26.870 --> 00:16:28.310
it means repeat the action.
353
00:16:28.310 --> 00:16:30.380
It carries the idea of upward movement,
354
00:16:30.380 --> 00:16:35.380
which means rather than let
important things be forgotten
355
00:16:35.540 --> 00:16:37.760
and buried, you need to pull 'em out
356
00:16:37.760 --> 00:16:39.260
of the grave, upward movement,
357
00:16:39.260 --> 00:16:42.410
ana; you need to dust them off.
358
00:16:42.410 --> 00:16:45.260
And once again, you need
to put them on a pedestal
359
00:16:45.260 --> 00:16:48.020
and look at them and look at
them to be reminded of them.
360
00:16:48.020 --> 00:16:52.130
And now the writer of Hebrews
is saying to these believers
361
00:16:52.130 --> 00:16:56.540
that are discouraged, Hey,
hey, you need to go back
362
00:16:56.540 --> 00:16:57.680
to the early times
363
00:16:57.680 --> 00:17:01.400
and remember - you have forgotten some things.
364
00:17:01.400 --> 00:17:05.300
You've allowed discouragement, you've allowed time,
365
00:17:05.300 --> 00:17:08.270
you've allowed your friends, your family, the devil himself,
366
00:17:08.270 --> 00:17:13.270
neutrality, isolation, to cause you to become so discouraged
367
00:17:13.520 --> 00:17:16.700
that you are forgetting some things that are very important.
368
00:17:16.700 --> 00:17:21.440
And now you need to recollect them to recollect.
369
00:17:21.440 --> 00:17:24.920
You need to go back, dig 'em up, brush them off.
370
00:17:24.920 --> 00:17:29.120
And remember when God first spoke to you - remember.
371
00:17:29.120 --> 00:17:32.360
In fact it says, remember the former days
372
00:17:32.360 --> 00:17:35.540
after which you were - are you ready for this -
373
00:17:35.540 --> 00:17:38.150
illuminated - illuminated.
374
00:17:38.150 --> 00:17:41.090
And the word illuminated in Greek
375
00:17:41.090 --> 00:17:44.540
is the word, photizo.
376
00:17:44.540 --> 00:17:46.040
If you wanna write that
down, I'll give you the
377
00:17:46.040 --> 00:17:47.300
English rendering.
378
00:17:47.300 --> 00:17:51.420
It would be spelled like this - photizo.
379
00:17:52.380 --> 00:17:54.840
This is where you get the
word for a photograph.
380
00:17:55.740 --> 00:17:59.430
The word photizo here is translated as the word illuminated.
381
00:17:59.430 --> 00:18:03.240
It describes a brilliant flash of light
382
00:18:04.950 --> 00:18:07.380
that leaves a permanent
383
00:18:07.380 --> 00:18:10.260
and lasting impression.
384
00:18:11.490 --> 00:18:13.110
Now here, these believers are struggling
385
00:18:13.110 --> 00:18:14.970
because they've not received,
386
00:18:14.970 --> 00:18:16.470
they're feeling like they're behind.
387
00:18:16.470 --> 00:18:18.960
They've got such a deficit in their faith, kata,
388
00:18:18.960 --> 00:18:21.420
they're just kind of down. They're giving into it.
389
00:18:21.420 --> 00:18:23.730
And he says, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
390
00:18:23.730 --> 00:18:25.680
You need to remember some things.
391
00:18:25.680 --> 00:18:27.540
And to remember, you may need to go back
392
00:18:27.540 --> 00:18:30.090
and recollect these memories.
393
00:18:30.090 --> 00:18:32.790
You need to pull them out of the ground.
394
00:18:32.790 --> 00:18:34.620
You need to brush off the dirt.
395
00:18:34.620 --> 00:18:36.330
You need to put them back on a monument.
396
00:18:36.330 --> 00:18:38.310
Look at them and look
at them and look them.
397
00:18:38.310 --> 00:18:41.250
Remember when you were first
filled with the Holy Spirit?
398
00:18:42.300 --> 00:18:45.420
Remember when you were first illuminated
399
00:18:45.420 --> 00:18:48.090
and you saw the healing was in the atonement?
400
00:18:48.090 --> 00:18:49.860
Remember when God spoke
401
00:18:49.860 --> 00:18:51.660
to you prophetically and gave you a word?
402
00:18:51.660 --> 00:18:54.600
Remember when the scripture jumped off the pages
403
00:18:54.600 --> 00:18:56.370
and it became alive in your heart?
404
00:18:56.370 --> 00:18:59.520
Rather than let these memories be buried,
405
00:19:00.510 --> 00:19:04.170
he says, anamimnesko, you need to go back on it,
406
00:19:04.170 --> 00:19:07.320
repeat the action, pull it up out of the ground,
407
00:19:07.320 --> 00:19:08.940
get it out of the grave,
408
00:19:08.940 --> 00:19:12.030
put those memories on a pedestal that you never,
409
00:19:12.030 --> 00:19:13.050
never forget them.
410
00:19:13.050 --> 00:19:15.870
And remember the former days in which
411
00:19:15.870 --> 00:19:20.310
after you were, photizo, illuminated,
412
00:19:21.210 --> 00:19:26.010
illuminated: a brilliant flash of light
413
00:19:26.010 --> 00:19:31.010
that leaves a permanent and lasting impression.
414
00:19:31.170 --> 00:19:35.100
For example, when God first spoke to me
415
00:19:36.540 --> 00:19:40.740
and told me to move my family
to the former Soviet Union,
416
00:19:41.940 --> 00:19:44.220
that was a photizo moment.
417
00:19:44.220 --> 00:19:48.060
It was a brilliant flash of
light that made a permanent
418
00:19:48.060 --> 00:19:51.300
and lasting impression on my life.
419
00:19:51.300 --> 00:19:53.250
That's a memory that I'm to never forget.
420
00:19:54.090 --> 00:19:56.970
I should always have that on a pedestal in my mind.
421
00:19:56.970 --> 00:19:59.610
Or how about when I first understood the healing
422
00:19:59.610 --> 00:20:00.720
was in the atonement?
423
00:20:00.720 --> 00:20:02.790
I'd never heard that in my life.
424
00:20:02.790 --> 00:20:04.320
But the first time that I understood
425
00:20:04.320 --> 00:20:08.190
that Jesus took those stripes
on his back for my healing,
426
00:20:08.190 --> 00:20:09.690
that was a photizo moment.
427
00:20:09.690 --> 00:20:13.020
It was a brilliant flash of
light that left a permanent
428
00:20:13.020 --> 00:20:15.870
and lasting impression on me.
429
00:20:15.870 --> 00:20:19.770
All of these kinds of things
are never to be forgotten.
430
00:20:19.770 --> 00:20:24.690
But notice the verse goes on
to say, Call to remembrance
431
00:20:24.690 --> 00:20:25.980
the former days in which
432
00:20:25.980 --> 00:20:30.360
after you were illuminated, you endured -
433
00:20:30.360 --> 00:20:33.930
are you ready for this - a great fight
434
00:20:33.930 --> 00:20:35.880
of affliction.
435
00:20:35.880 --> 00:20:39.330
And here is what the Bible teaches us.
436
00:20:39.330 --> 00:20:43.890
A fight usually follows illumination.
437
00:20:43.890 --> 00:20:45.790
You know why? Because the devil is terrified
438
00:20:45.790 --> 00:20:48.298
of illuminated people.
439
00:20:48.298 --> 00:20:52.090
Now chapter 10 leads to chapter 11 in the book of Hebrews;
440
00:20:52.090 --> 00:20:55.840
when you get to chapter 11, chapter 11 is filled with people
441
00:20:55.840 --> 00:20:56.980
who had a word from God.
442
00:20:56.980 --> 00:20:58.180
They were illuminated.
443
00:20:59.020 --> 00:21:01.390
And because they were illuminated
444
00:21:01.390 --> 00:21:02.980
and they got into agreement with God,
445
00:21:02.980 --> 00:21:05.200
they changed human history.
446
00:21:05.200 --> 00:21:08.680
But the devil was terrified
of every single one of them
447
00:21:08.680 --> 00:21:12.040
because illuminated people are powerful
448
00:21:13.000 --> 00:21:16.150
and God uses them to bring change.
449
00:21:16.150 --> 00:21:19.840
But very often when you've
been illuminated by a promise
450
00:21:19.840 --> 00:21:21.190
or a pledge from God
451
00:21:21.190 --> 00:21:24.610
or an experience, the
devil immediately comes.
452
00:21:24.610 --> 00:21:26.200
It's followed with a great fight
453
00:21:26.200 --> 00:21:29.080
of afflictions which you can get through
454
00:21:29.080 --> 00:21:30.940
and you can overcome.
455
00:21:30.940 --> 00:21:34.180
That's what we're gonna talk
about in the next program.
456
00:21:34.180 --> 00:21:37.030
I'll be back in just a moment
and I'm going to pray for you.
457
00:21:37.900 --> 00:21:41.695
Hebrews 10:23 says, Let us hold fast the profession
458
00:21:41.695 --> 00:21:43.300
of our faith without wavering
459
00:21:43.300 --> 00:21:48.130
for he is faithful that promised. Time, isolation, the enemy
460
00:21:48.130 --> 00:21:50.470
and even loved ones can steal our confidence
461
00:21:50.470 --> 00:21:51.640
in God's promises.
462
00:21:51.640 --> 00:21:53.080
But God is faithful.
463
00:21:53.080 --> 00:21:56.470
We must be unwavering in our
faith, especially in the midst
464
00:21:56.470 --> 00:21:59.590
of the thieves that come to
steal our God-given dreams.
465
00:21:59.590 --> 00:22:03.580

493
00:23:11.620 --> 00:23:13.930
Hey friends, this is Rick Renner
494
00:23:13.930 --> 00:23:18.640
and I'm standing just outside the Editorial Department
495
00:23:18.640 --> 00:23:20.380
in the Tulsa Headquarters building.
496
00:23:20.380 --> 00:23:24.220
You have 8-people that work just in editorial
497
00:23:24.220 --> 00:23:27.430
because these fingers are typing a lot
498
00:23:27.430 --> 00:23:29.260
of information and revelation.
499
00:23:29.260 --> 00:23:31.240
God spoke to me years ago
500
00:23:31.240 --> 00:23:35.200
and said he would speak through my fingers if I would write,
501
00:23:35.200 --> 00:23:36.760
and I've been writing ever since.
502
00:23:36.760 --> 00:23:38.530
And just outside editorial,
503
00:23:38.530 --> 00:23:41.710
we have several key scriptures. Here we have 2 Timothy
504
00:23:41.710 --> 00:23:43.300
3:16 and 17.
505
00:23:43.300 --> 00:23:45.980
All scripture it's given by of God
506
00:23:45.980 --> 00:23:49.160
and it's profitable for
doctrine, reproof, correction,
507
00:23:49.160 --> 00:23:50.900
instruction in righteousness.
508
00:23:50.900 --> 00:23:52.430
I really believe that.
509
00:23:52.430 --> 00:23:55.370
Next to that we have Ecclesiastes 8:4 -
510
00:23:55.370 --> 00:23:57.380
uou've heard this before, "Where the word
511
00:23:57.380 --> 00:24:00.170
of a king is there is power."
512
00:24:00.170 --> 00:24:03.230
And next there's a sign, the
prophetic word, which God gave
513
00:24:03.230 --> 00:24:04.700
to me a 1978 -
514
00:24:04.700 --> 00:24:08.150
write, write, write and I'll prosper what you write.
515
00:24:08.150 --> 00:24:10.760
And I've been writing ever since.
516
00:24:10.760 --> 00:24:14.030
This is a very important
part of our ministry
517
00:24:14.030 --> 00:24:18.320
because we send published revelation
518
00:24:18.320 --> 00:24:22.250
information, all kinds
of material to the ends
519
00:24:22.250 --> 00:24:24.020
of the earth.
520
00:24:24.020 --> 00:24:26.660
And you're a part of it
because you're a partner.
521
00:24:26.660 --> 00:24:30.260
You know, we've recently just finished 70%
522
00:24:30.260 --> 00:24:32.720
of our Ministry Expansion Project.
523
00:24:32.720 --> 00:24:34.700
Now 30% remains.
524
00:24:34.700 --> 00:24:37.370
If you're part of the team,
I wanna say thank you.
525
00:24:37.370 --> 00:24:38.900
If you're not a part of the team
526
00:24:38.900 --> 00:24:41.270
to help us retire the
debt on this building
527
00:24:41.270 --> 00:24:42.860
and the whole project,
528
00:24:42.860 --> 00:24:45.080
would you please become part of the team?
529
00:24:45.080 --> 00:24:48.590
We wanna release all those
funds so we can redirect them
530
00:24:48.590 --> 00:24:51.860
to take more teaching of the
Bible to the ends of the earth
531
00:24:51.860 --> 00:24:54.230
where people are crying out, God,
532
00:24:54.230 --> 00:24:56.870
please send me teaching that I can trust.
533
00:24:56.870 --> 00:25:00.410
Please pray about becoming
a part of our giving team.
534
00:25:05.900 --> 00:25:09.140
Well, today I've told you that
when you've been illuminated,
535
00:25:09.140 --> 00:25:12.740
it frequently occurs that a big fight comes
536
00:25:12.740 --> 00:25:16.865
because the devil is after your illumination.
537
00:25:16.865 --> 00:25:18.260
He wants you to let go of it
538
00:25:18.260 --> 00:25:21.680
because the devil knows when people have been illuminated,
539
00:25:21.680 --> 00:25:24.590
those are people that are gonna do something
540
00:25:24.590 --> 00:25:26.180
and are gonna change things.
541
00:25:26.180 --> 00:25:29.120
And he is absolutely terrified of people
542
00:25:29.120 --> 00:25:30.650
that have been illuminated.
543
00:25:30.650 --> 00:25:34.250
But you shouldn't be
surprised if a big fight came
544
00:25:34.250 --> 00:25:36.170
because the devil is terrified of those
545
00:25:36.170 --> 00:25:37.580
that are illuminated.
546
00:25:37.580 --> 00:25:40.910
But you can get through it, you can push him out of the way.
547
00:25:40.910 --> 00:25:42.950
And that's what we're gonna talk about when we come
548
00:25:42.950 --> 00:25:44.240
back in the next program.
549
00:25:44.240 --> 00:25:46.730
But please order the whole series, which is called, How
550
00:25:46.730 --> 00:25:49.400
to Stay in a Place of Faith.
551
00:25:49.400 --> 00:25:51.230
And it comes with a study guide.
552
00:25:51.230 --> 00:25:54.080
And my friend, I also
want you to order my book,
553
00:25:54.080 --> 00:25:57.410
which is called, Dream Thieves: Overcoming Obstacles
554
00:25:57.410 --> 00:25:58.910
to Fulfill Your Dreams.
555
00:25:58.910 --> 00:26:02.900
I wrote this book when we first moved to the Soviet Union
556
00:26:02.900 --> 00:26:06.500
and there were so many things coming against: obstacle
557
00:26:06.500 --> 00:26:07.520
after obstacle.
558
00:26:07.520 --> 00:26:10.040
And I wrote this out of my experience
559
00:26:10.040 --> 00:26:12.110
and out of the revelation that I received
560
00:26:12.110 --> 00:26:13.340
that I can overcome
561
00:26:13.340 --> 00:26:16.370
and you can overcome every
obstacle that's trying
562
00:26:16.370 --> 00:26:19.070
to keep you from fulfilling your dream
563
00:26:19.070 --> 00:26:21.230
and God's pledge to you.
564
00:26:21.230 --> 00:26:24.080
But you can order all these
things by going online
565
00:26:24.080 --> 00:26:25.100
or by giving us a call.
566
00:26:25.100 --> 00:26:26.960
And please remember that
we want to pray for you.
567
00:26:26.960 --> 00:26:29.540
So when you reach out,
let us know how to pray
568
00:26:29.540 --> 00:26:33.110
by calling the number on the
screen or send us an email.
569
00:26:33.110 --> 00:26:35.600
But put your hand on your heart, it's the end of the week
570
00:26:35.600 --> 00:26:37.250
so I wanna pray for you. Father, in the name
571
00:26:37.250 --> 00:26:39.020
of Jesus, I thank you
572
00:26:39.020 --> 00:26:41.690
we've had such a good time in the word this week.
573
00:26:41.690 --> 00:26:45.480
I pray that you would bless
my friend this weekend, pray
574
00:26:45.480 --> 00:26:47.880
that they would go to church
to get some encouragement
575
00:26:47.880 --> 00:26:50.490
that they need and that they
could give some encouragement
576
00:26:50.490 --> 00:26:51.930
to somebody else.
577
00:26:51.930 --> 00:26:54.060
And Lord, that if the enemy comes
578
00:26:54.060 --> 00:26:57.480
because we've been illuminated, we have everything we need
579
00:26:57.480 --> 00:27:00.900
to push him back across the line.
580
00:27:00.900 --> 00:27:04.470
We thank you for it in Jesus' name - Amen.
581
00:27:04.470 --> 00:27:06.210
I'll see you in the next program.
582
00:27:06.210 --> 00:27:09.750
But remember Ecclesiastes 8:4 says, "Where the word
583
00:27:09.750 --> 00:27:12.570
of a king is, there's power."
584
00:27:12.570 --> 00:27:14.850
If you've never received Jesus as your Savior
585
00:27:14.850 --> 00:27:19.200
and Lord, now is the time for
you to experience a new life
586
00:27:19.200 --> 00:27:21.390
Jesus has to give you.
587
00:27:21.390 --> 00:27:25.440
Pray this prayer with me right now; Lord,
588
00:27:25.440 --> 00:27:29.460
I repent of my sin and receive you as my Savior
589
00:27:29.460 --> 00:27:32.430
and Lord. Wash away my sin
590
00:27:32.430 --> 00:27:35.460
and make me completely new.
591
00:27:35.460 --> 00:27:39.240
I thank you that my sin is removed
592
00:27:39.240 --> 00:27:44.240
and Satan no longer has any
right to lay claim on me.
593
00:27:44.790 --> 00:27:48.780
I faithfully promise that
I will serve you as my Lord
594
00:27:48.780 --> 00:27:50.460
for the rest of my life.
595
00:27:51.330 --> 00:27:56.130
