00:00:01.260 --> 00:00:03.960
This program is made
possible by the giving
2
00:00:03.960 --> 00:00:07.980
of the God called partners
of Renner Ministries.
3
00:00:07.980 --> 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 --> 00:00:16.770
uncertain times.
6
00:00:16.770 --> 00:00:20.070
And doctrine doesn't bend to culture.
7
00:00:20.070 --> 00:00:21.510
We keep it simple,
8
00:00:21.510 --> 00:00:26.070
but dive deep revealing a
truth that strengthens us,
9
00:00:26.940 --> 00:00:28.560
a love that emboldens,
10
00:00:29.970 --> 00:00:32.130
and a mission that touches the world.
11
00:00:34.470 --> 00:00:36.030
Let's join Rick Renner.
12
00:00:38.700 --> 00:00:40.170
Welcome to today's program.
13
00:00:40.170 --> 00:00:42.750
My name is Rick Renner and friend
14
00:00:42.750 --> 00:00:46.470
today we're wrapping up a 10-part series
15
00:00:46.470 --> 00:00:49.830
which is called, How to Stay in a Place of Faith.
16
00:00:49.830 --> 00:00:52.560
And I pray that it's
been a blessing to you,
17
00:00:52.560 --> 00:00:54.840
but today is the last day
that we're offering this
18
00:00:54.840 --> 00:00:57.060
and the study guide on the program.
19
00:00:57.060 --> 00:00:59.250
So please be sure to go online
20
00:00:59.250 --> 00:01:01.230
or give us a call to
order yours right now.
21
00:01:01.230 --> 00:01:04.710
This will really help you
stay in your place of faith
22
00:01:04.710 --> 00:01:08.100
until you receive what
God has promised to you.
23
00:01:08.100 --> 00:01:10.770
And today is the last day on the program
24
00:01:10.770 --> 00:01:13.770
that we are offering my
book called Dream Thieves:
25
00:01:13.770 --> 00:01:18.390
Overcoming Obstacles to Fulfill Your Dreams.
26
00:01:18.390 --> 00:01:21.030
If you feel like you've
run into a few roadblocks,
27
00:01:21.030 --> 00:01:22.530
don't be surprised.
28
00:01:22.530 --> 00:01:24.210
That's what the devil does.
29
00:01:24.210 --> 00:01:28.500
He doesn't want you to step
into God's plan for your life.
30
00:01:28.500 --> 00:01:31.680
So you need to know how to
overcome the Dream Thieves
31
00:01:31.680 --> 00:01:34.500
and how to overcome obstacles on the way
32
00:01:34.500 --> 00:01:36.000
to fulfill your dreams.
33
00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:40.290
So please order this by going
online or by giving us a call.
34
00:01:40.290 --> 00:01:42.930
And I want to remind you that
we want a prayer for you.
35
00:01:42.930 --> 00:01:44.190
And today's Friday
36
00:01:44.190 --> 00:01:46.140
before you head into the weekend,
37
00:01:46.140 --> 00:01:48.360
if you need prayer, give us a call.
38
00:01:48.360 --> 00:01:51.690
We're waiting for our
phone to ring right now.
39
00:01:51.690 --> 00:01:53.880
In the moment it rings, we're gonna answer
40
00:01:53.880 --> 00:01:57.510
and we're gonna put our faith
together with you for Jesus
41
00:01:57.510 --> 00:02:01.110
to do something spectacular in your life
42
00:02:01.110 --> 00:02:03.480
and he's really going to do it.
43
00:02:03.480 --> 00:02:05.640
Maybe you would prefer to write an email,
44
00:02:05.640 --> 00:02:06.810
some people like that.
45
00:02:06.810 --> 00:02:10.020
So send us an email. The
address is on the screen.
46
00:02:10.020 --> 00:02:11.220
You just send us your email.
47
00:02:11.220 --> 00:02:12.240
And whether you call
48
00:02:12.240 --> 00:02:14.640
or whether you're right,
we're still gonna pray
49
00:02:14.640 --> 00:02:16.230
for you both the same way.
50
00:02:16.230 --> 00:02:18.060
And we're gonna really believe for God
51
00:02:18.060 --> 00:02:22.080
to do something wonderful,
but reach for your Bible.
52
00:02:22.080 --> 00:02:24.600
And today we're gonna go back to Hebrews 10,
53
00:02:24.600 --> 00:02:27.300
and we're concluding our series on - How
54
00:02:27.300 --> 00:02:28.980
to Stay in a Place of Faith.
55
00:02:28.980 --> 00:02:33.980
And I want to quickly review
beginning in verse 23.
56
00:02:34.020 --> 00:02:37.680
And in verse 23, we saw in the
first programs that it says,
57
00:02:37.680 --> 00:02:40.110
let us hold fast the profession
58
00:02:40.110 --> 00:02:41.730
of our faith without wavering
59
00:02:41.730 --> 00:02:44.820
for he is faithful that promised.
60
00:02:44.820 --> 00:02:48.450
And we discovered that you've
gotta really hold on to
61
00:02:48.450 --> 00:02:50.400
what God has promised to you
62
00:02:50.400 --> 00:02:53.460
because the Dream Thieves of life will try
63
00:02:53.460 --> 00:02:54.750
to take it away from you.
64
00:02:54.750 --> 00:02:57.150
You say, now what were
those Dream Thieves?
65
00:02:57.150 --> 00:02:59.470
Well, let me write them
on the glass board.
66
00:02:59.470 --> 00:03:03.160
Dream Thief No.1 is time.
67
00:03:03.160 --> 00:03:05.350
Time has a voice.
68
00:03:05.350 --> 00:03:07.510
And time will speak to you
69
00:03:07.510 --> 00:03:11.680
and time will say, ah,
this is just a fantasy.
70
00:03:11.680 --> 00:03:12.850
If it was going to happen,
71
00:03:12.850 --> 00:03:14.860
surely it would've happened to by now.
72
00:03:14.860 --> 00:03:18.580
Time will try to get you to
release the promise of God;
73
00:03:18.580 --> 00:03:21.970
but if you make it beyond the voice of time, No.2,
74
00:03:21.970 --> 00:03:25.150
you've got the voice of your friends
75
00:03:25.150 --> 00:03:27.580
and your friends are concerned about you.
76
00:03:27.580 --> 00:03:30.310
And they may see that you're
stuck in one place believing
77
00:03:30.310 --> 00:03:32.200
and believing and waiting and waiting,
78
00:03:32.200 --> 00:03:35.230
and they may try to coax you
out of letting go of that
79
00:03:35.230 --> 00:03:36.760
so you can move on with life.
80
00:03:36.760 --> 00:03:39.040
You've gotta really hold onto the dream
81
00:03:39.040 --> 00:03:41.800
and the word from God or your
friends might talk you out
82
00:03:41.800 --> 00:03:43.750
of it. Or if you make it beyond your friends,
83
00:03:43.750 --> 00:03:46.810
No.3, how about the voice of your family?
84
00:03:46.810 --> 00:03:49.330
Now your family really loves you
85
00:03:49.330 --> 00:03:51.520
and they may be really concerned about you
86
00:03:51.520 --> 00:03:54.430
and they may have reasons
to be concerned about you.
87
00:03:54.430 --> 00:03:56.710
But you know when you know
you have a word from God,
88
00:03:56.710 --> 00:03:59.770
you need to hold onto that
word from God regardless of
89
00:03:59.770 --> 00:04:03.190
what time or friends or family says.
90
00:04:03.190 --> 00:04:05.500
But then there's Dream Thief No.4,
91
00:04:05.500 --> 00:04:08.110
and that is the voice of the devil himself
92
00:04:08.110 --> 00:04:10.870
who will denigrate you and mock you
93
00:04:10.870 --> 00:04:13.300
and try to get you to release the dream
94
00:04:13.300 --> 00:04:15.070
that God put in your heart.
95
00:04:15.070 --> 00:04:18.880
And then there's Dream Thief No.5, which is
96
00:04:18.880 --> 00:04:20.650
neutrality: ah, ya, ya.
97
00:04:20.650 --> 00:04:22.540
This is a real big one.
98
00:04:22.540 --> 00:04:25.120
When you just become so tired
99
00:04:25.120 --> 00:04:26.800
that you could no longer care less
100
00:04:26.800 --> 00:04:28.510
anymore, you say - You know what?
101
00:04:28.510 --> 00:04:32.440
I have lost my fire for
this. I've given it my best.
102
00:04:32.440 --> 00:04:34.840
I'm exhausted. I'm done with this.
103
00:04:34.840 --> 00:04:37.030
You've gotta really fight neutrality
104
00:04:37.030 --> 00:04:40.090
and my friends, you gotta wrap
your arms around the promise
105
00:04:40.090 --> 00:04:43.750
of God and refuse to
become neutral concerning
106
00:04:43.750 --> 00:04:45.370
what God has promised you.
107
00:04:45.370 --> 00:04:49.990
And finally, No.6 Dream Thief we saw is isolation.
108
00:04:49.990 --> 00:04:54.400
You are not supposed to do
the life of faith by yourself.
109
00:04:54.400 --> 00:04:56.440
And that's why we go on,
110
00:04:56.440 --> 00:05:00.130
and the verse continues to tell us in verse 24,
111
00:05:00.130 --> 00:05:02.530
And let us consider one another
112
00:05:02.530 --> 00:05:05.260
to provoke unto love and to good works.
113
00:05:05.260 --> 00:05:08.830
And we saw this word, another in Greek is the word, allelos.
114
00:05:08.830 --> 00:05:11.320
It describes reciprocal activity.
115
00:05:11.320 --> 00:05:14.860
You're supposed to be in the
body of Christ, in a church,
116
00:05:14.860 --> 00:05:17.500
in a home group or in relationship with others
117
00:05:17.500 --> 00:05:19.030
who will encourage you
118
00:05:19.030 --> 00:05:21.460
and you are supposed to encourage them.
119
00:05:21.460 --> 00:05:24.670
In fact, this verse says,
we are to provoke each other
120
00:05:24.670 --> 00:05:26.830
to love into good works: not provoke each other
121
00:05:26.830 --> 00:05:28.780
to a confrontation,
122
00:05:28.780 --> 00:05:31.660
but we're to come right alongside of each other
123
00:05:31.660 --> 00:05:35.770
to draw near, get in a parallel position with our friends,
124
00:05:35.770 --> 00:05:39.280
especially those that are tempted to give up.
125
00:05:39.280 --> 00:05:42.580
And when we come alongside of
them, we are to say, come on,
126
00:05:43.420 --> 00:05:45.640
you've invested too much
time in this for you
127
00:05:45.640 --> 00:05:46.660
to walk away from it
128
00:05:46.660 --> 00:05:50.350
now. You're right on the edge
of receiving. Don't give up
129
00:05:50.350 --> 00:05:53.650
now. We're to provoke them to stay in faith.
130
00:05:53.650 --> 00:05:55.660
That's what the scripture says.
131
00:05:55.660 --> 00:05:59.690
And then verse 25 says, Not forsaking the assembling
132
00:05:59.690 --> 00:06:02.810
of ourselves together as the manner of some is,
133
00:06:02.810 --> 00:06:05.360
but exhorting one another.
134
00:06:05.360 --> 00:06:06.193
And we saw that that word, exhorting,
135
00:06:06.193 --> 00:06:08.426
is the Greek word, parakaleo.
136
00:06:08.426 --> 00:06:11.630
The word, para, again describes a parallel relationship.
137
00:06:11.630 --> 00:06:13.310
You're alongside of someone else.
138
00:06:13.310 --> 00:06:16.220
The 2nd part of the word is kaleo, which means to call
139
00:06:16.220 --> 00:06:17.540
to summon or to speak.
140
00:06:17.540 --> 00:06:19.880
When you compound the two words together,
141
00:06:19.880 --> 00:06:22.700
the word, parakaleo, here is translated as exhorting.
142
00:06:22.700 --> 00:06:25.766
It's you coming alongside of somebody else, para,
143
00:06:25.766 --> 00:06:26.783
calling out
144
00:06:26.783 --> 00:06:29.180
to them, speaking to them,
telling them what they need
145
00:06:29.180 --> 00:06:32.840
to hear that will encourage
them to stay in their place
146
00:06:32.840 --> 00:06:34.400
of faith.
147
00:06:34.400 --> 00:06:37.160
My friends, they're dealing with a voice of time and friends
148
00:06:37.160 --> 00:06:38.960
and family and Satan and neutrality.
149
00:06:38.960 --> 00:06:41.300
And when they're in a
place of isolation, they're
150
00:06:41.300 --> 00:06:44.870
so susceptible to the enemy's
attacks, they need you
151
00:06:44.870 --> 00:06:47.000
to come alongside of them
152
00:06:47.000 --> 00:06:48.980
and encourage them to stay in faith.
153
00:06:48.980 --> 00:06:53.030
And that word exhorting - the Greek word parakaleo
154
00:06:53.030 --> 00:06:56.870
was also also a military term used to describe a captain
155
00:06:56.870 --> 00:06:59.420
or a general who would come to the troops
156
00:06:59.420 --> 00:07:01.430
and he would speak to them directly
157
00:07:01.430 --> 00:07:03.620
and honestly about the battle in front of them
158
00:07:03.620 --> 00:07:05.330
and stir them up.
159
00:07:05.330 --> 00:07:09.050
And likewise, we as believers have the privilege
160
00:07:09.050 --> 00:07:12.440
of coming alongside of
others to stir them up.
161
00:07:12.440 --> 00:07:15.710
Come on, you can do it.
You can win this battle.
162
00:07:15.710 --> 00:07:20.330
The battle may seem intense,
but you can win this victory.
163
00:07:20.330 --> 00:07:22.460
We are called to do that.
164
00:07:22.460 --> 00:07:26.240
And then we saw in verse 32 that it says, Called
165
00:07:26.240 --> 00:07:29.300
to remembrance the former days in which
166
00:07:29.300 --> 00:07:30.680
after you were illuminated,
167
00:07:30.680 --> 00:07:33.710
you endured a great fight of affliction.
168
00:07:33.710 --> 00:07:38.000
And we saw this word illuminated, is the Greek word photizo,
169
00:07:38.000 --> 00:07:40.340
which describes a brilliant flash of light
170
00:07:40.340 --> 00:07:44.210
that leaves a permanent
and lasting impression.
171
00:07:44.210 --> 00:07:47.360
Now the writer of Hebrews is saying - Guys, remember,
172
00:07:47.360 --> 00:07:51.110
remember, remember when God first spoke to you
173
00:07:51.110 --> 00:07:53.120
and it was like a brilliant flash of light.
174
00:07:53.120 --> 00:07:55.190
Somebody really turned the light on
175
00:07:55.190 --> 00:07:57.920
and it impacted you so deeply.
176
00:07:57.920 --> 00:08:00.440
He says, never forget that moment
177
00:08:00.440 --> 00:08:02.090
and how it changed your life.
178
00:08:02.090 --> 00:08:03.770
And then he adds,
179
00:08:03.770 --> 00:08:07.640
And you endured a great fight of affliction.
180
00:08:07.640 --> 00:08:12.080
And we saw that an illuminated
person usually has to deal
181
00:08:12.080 --> 00:08:15.020
with a fight because the devil is terrified
182
00:08:15.020 --> 00:08:16.460
of illuminated people.
183
00:08:16.460 --> 00:08:19.670
And when you've been illuminated, he knows you're a person
184
00:08:19.670 --> 00:08:22.370
who has the power to change history and change the world.
185
00:08:22.370 --> 00:08:25.190
And rather than let you just march forward in your
186
00:08:25.190 --> 00:08:28.460
illumination with no resistance, he'll come against you
187
00:08:28.460 --> 00:08:30.680
with a great fight of affliction to try
188
00:08:30.680 --> 00:08:33.500
to stop you dead in your tracks.
189
00:08:33.500 --> 00:08:36.140
And verse 33 says,
190
00:08:36.140 --> 00:08:38.900
Partly while you were made a gazing stock -
191
00:08:38.900 --> 00:08:42.710
and we saw that word gazing stock is the Greek word,
192
00:08:42.710 --> 00:08:44.840
theatrizo, which is where we get the word for a theater.
193
00:08:44.840 --> 00:08:47.660
And I told you that as long
194
00:08:47.660 --> 00:08:49.310
as you've never received a word from God
195
00:08:49.310 --> 00:08:51.920
and you've never made a faith confession,
196
00:08:51.920 --> 00:08:55.620
nobody will ever talk about you; you'll remain private.
197
00:08:55.620 --> 00:08:58.860
But the day you say, God spoke to me
198
00:08:58.860 --> 00:09:01.740
and said, God made me a promise,
199
00:09:01.740 --> 00:09:03.870
and this is what's going to happen.
200
00:09:03.870 --> 00:09:05.760
Suddenly you become a spectacle.
201
00:09:05.760 --> 00:09:09.600
Everybody begins to watch.
The word theater is used here.
202
00:09:09.600 --> 00:09:11.610
You become a public performance
203
00:09:11.610 --> 00:09:13.950
and people begin to
buy tickets to the show
204
00:09:13.950 --> 00:09:17.190
to see - did God really speak to him
205
00:09:17.190 --> 00:09:19.140
or is he just hearing voices?
206
00:09:19.140 --> 00:09:20.760
If God did speak to him,
207
00:09:20.760 --> 00:09:22.800
does he have the tenacity and the endurance
208
00:09:22.800 --> 00:09:25.500
he needs to make it all the way to the end.
209
00:09:25.500 --> 00:09:29.010
They will all come, fill the theater, take their seats
210
00:09:29.010 --> 00:09:30.330
and watch you.
211
00:09:30.330 --> 00:09:32.460
And if you know people are watching you
212
00:09:32.460 --> 00:09:36.210
and they're talking about you,
then it's your opportunity
213
00:09:36.210 --> 00:09:39.300
to give them a good performance of faith.
214
00:09:39.300 --> 00:09:42.960
Show them how it works, do it so well that
215
00:09:42.960 --> 00:09:45.660
by the time you get to the
final act and the final scene
216
00:09:45.660 --> 00:09:47.940
and you're standing in
victory, they're gonna want
217
00:09:47.940 --> 00:09:49.620
to get out of the chairs in the theater
218
00:09:49.620 --> 00:09:51.930
and get on the stage themself.
219
00:09:51.930 --> 00:09:55.290
My friends, show them how faith works.
220
00:09:55.290 --> 00:09:57.990
And then we saw in verse 35
221
00:09:57.990 --> 00:10:00.840
that these believers were tempted just to throw it all away
222
00:10:00.840 --> 00:10:02.940
because they had been waiting for so long.
223
00:10:02.940 --> 00:10:04.890
And the writer of Hebrew says, don't do it,
224
00:10:04.890 --> 00:10:06.120
don't do it, don't do it.
225
00:10:06.120 --> 00:10:09.360
Cast not away your confidence.
226
00:10:09.360 --> 00:10:11.220
The word confidence, the Greek word, parreisa,
227
00:10:11.220 --> 00:10:14.040
which describes a very bold kind of speech,
228
00:10:14.040 --> 00:10:15.780
faith always speaks.
229
00:10:15.780 --> 00:10:17.640
Faith is never silent.
230
00:10:17.640 --> 00:10:19.500
And when you're really moving in faith,
231
00:10:19.500 --> 00:10:21.780
your mouth is declaring the word of God.
232
00:10:21.780 --> 00:10:23.550
He says, don't throw away your faith.
233
00:10:23.550 --> 00:10:26.100
Don't throw away your confession of faith
234
00:10:26.100 --> 00:10:30.990
because verse 35 says - it has great recompense of reward.
235
00:10:30.990 --> 00:10:32.850
The answer's already on its feet,
236
00:10:32.850 --> 00:10:35.340
it's moving in your direction right now.
237
00:10:35.340 --> 00:10:40.320
And then he says in verse 36,
For you have need of patience,
238
00:10:40.320 --> 00:10:42.840
the word patience, their Greek word, hupomone
239
00:10:42.840 --> 00:10:46.020
which is enduring power, hang in their power,
240
00:10:46.020 --> 00:10:47.610
stay in their power.
241
00:10:47.610 --> 00:10:50.310
You just need to stay in
there a little bit longer.
242
00:10:50.310 --> 00:10:53.790
And the Bible says, eventually you will receive the promise.
243
00:10:53.790 --> 00:10:55.873
The word, receive, the Greek word, komidzo,
244
00:10:55.873 --> 00:10:57.231
which describes payday;
245
00:10:57.231 --> 00:10:59.700
payday will finally come.
246
00:10:59.700 --> 00:11:01.740
You say, well, how long do I have to wait?
247
00:11:01.740 --> 00:11:05.460
Well, verse 37 says, a little while. The word, little while,
248
00:11:05.460 --> 00:11:08.850
the Greek word mikron describes something microscopic.
249
00:11:08.850 --> 00:11:10.440
Usually, when we're tempted
250
00:11:10.440 --> 00:11:13.830
to give up is right when we're
on the edge of receiving.
251
00:11:13.830 --> 00:11:15.660
And now the writer of Hebrews says - Guys,
252
00:11:15.660 --> 00:11:19.740
it's just a little while, you are so close to payday.
253
00:11:19.740 --> 00:11:21.840
The answer is almost here.
254
00:11:21.840 --> 00:11:25.680
And then he reminds us in verse 38, The just shall live
255
00:11:25.680 --> 00:11:27.150
by faith.
256
00:11:27.150 --> 00:11:31.080
And we saw that faith is like
a bullet shot out of a gun.
257
00:11:31.080 --> 00:11:32.790
That's how you know if
you're moving in faith,
258
00:11:32.790 --> 00:11:36.420
faith is always moving you forward.
259
00:11:36.420 --> 00:11:39.330
But then he adds, But if any man draw back,
260
00:11:39.330 --> 00:11:42.030
my soul shall have no pleasure in him.
261
00:11:42.030 --> 00:11:44.758
The word drawback in Greek is the word, hypostello: means
262
00:11:44.758 --> 00:11:47.340
to retreat or to move backward.
263
00:11:47.340 --> 00:11:50.340
When you're not moving in faith, you're moving in retreat.
264
00:11:51.270 --> 00:11:52.740
And so you need to examine your life
265
00:11:52.740 --> 00:11:56.590
and ask, I moving forward,
or am I moving into retreat?
266
00:11:56.590 --> 00:11:58.270
And if you're moving into retreat,
267
00:11:58.270 --> 00:11:59.920
you're moving in the wrong direction.
268
00:11:59.920 --> 00:12:01.120
And that is an indicator
269
00:12:01.120 --> 00:12:03.460
that you're no longer moving in faith.
270
00:12:03.460 --> 00:12:06.670
And it goes on to say in verse 39,
271
00:12:06.670 --> 00:12:10.300
But we are not of them that draw back unto perdition.
272
00:12:10.300 --> 00:12:12.325
The word perdition, that Greek word,
273
00:12:12.325 --> 00:12:13.933
apoleia, describes rottenness,
274
00:12:13.933 --> 00:12:15.970
something foul really stinking.
275
00:12:15.970 --> 00:12:19.060
And now we find that when a
person rejects their faith,
276
00:12:19.060 --> 00:12:22.450
throws away their faith and becomes cynical,
277
00:12:22.450 --> 00:12:26.200
it creates a stinking, rotten, spiritual condition
278
00:12:26.200 --> 00:12:27.340
in their life.
279
00:12:27.340 --> 00:12:30.880
But then we come to chapter 11:1 where it says,
280
00:12:30.880 --> 00:12:35.140
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence
281
00:12:35.140 --> 00:12:36.580
of things not seen.
282
00:12:36.580 --> 00:12:39.730
And I want us to look at this word substance one more time.
283
00:12:39.730 --> 00:12:44.380
In Greek it is the word, hypostasis.
284
00:12:44.380 --> 00:12:47.380
Now this is really important.
285
00:12:47.380 --> 00:12:48.760
The word hupo,
286
00:12:48.760 --> 00:12:53.200
H-U-P-O in this particular case means buy,
287
00:12:53.200 --> 00:12:56.500
buy. The word, stasis, means
288
00:12:56.500 --> 00:12:58.930
to stand - to stand.
289
00:12:59.890 --> 00:13:02.050
Well, when you compound the two words together, it means
290
00:13:02.050 --> 00:13:06.550
to stand by something,
to stand by something.
291
00:13:06.550 --> 00:13:10.150
It is the picture of a person who says, I know this is mine
292
00:13:10.150 --> 00:13:11.740
and I'm not going to relinquish it.
293
00:13:11.740 --> 00:13:15.640
I'm gonna stand by this.
I'm going to embrace this.
294
00:13:15.640 --> 00:13:17.800
I'm gonna hold fast to this.
295
00:13:17.800 --> 00:13:21.370
I don't care how hard you
tug, how hard you pull,
296
00:13:21.370 --> 00:13:24.040
I'm gonna stand by this thing.
297
00:13:24.040 --> 00:13:26.800
I'm going to let it go.
298
00:13:27.760 --> 00:13:31.150
And Hebrews 11:1 is not really a
299
00:13:31.150 --> 00:13:32.770
description of faith,
300
00:13:32.770 --> 00:13:34.420
it is the behavior of faith.
301
00:13:35.320 --> 00:13:38.200
And we find that when a person
is really moving in faith,
302
00:13:38.200 --> 00:13:40.660
they have a bulldog attitude.
303
00:13:40.660 --> 00:13:45.660
It's like a bulldog who has found the bone of its dreams.
304
00:13:46.240 --> 00:13:50.050
That bulldog wraps its jowls around that bone,
305
00:13:50.050 --> 00:13:52.240
clamps down tight.
306
00:13:52.240 --> 00:13:55.030
And it doesn't matter how
hard you pull on that bone,
307
00:13:55.030 --> 00:13:56.950
that bulldog's not gonna let loose.
308
00:13:56.950 --> 00:14:00.160
In fact, you can grab one end of that bone,
309
00:14:00.160 --> 00:14:02.260
the bulldog has the other end of the bone.
310
00:14:02.260 --> 00:14:04.240
You can drag that bulldog
311
00:14:04.240 --> 00:14:06.940
to every room in the house
trying to get that bone.
312
00:14:06.940 --> 00:14:09.940
But that bulldog is not
gonna let release that bone
313
00:14:09.940 --> 00:14:13.480
because, hypostasis, it's standing by that bone.
314
00:14:14.590 --> 00:14:18.370
And now we find that real faith holds onto
315
00:14:18.370 --> 00:14:19.570
what God has promised.
316
00:14:20.530 --> 00:14:23.560
It stands by what God has promised
317
00:14:23.560 --> 00:14:27.490
and refuses to relinquish it.
318
00:14:27.490 --> 00:14:32.350
Now let's go on. Then when you get to verse 2, it says, For
319
00:14:32.350 --> 00:14:34.120
by it - by what -
320
00:14:34.120 --> 00:14:37.930
this bulldog kind of faith,
this faith that never lets go,
321
00:14:37.930 --> 00:14:41.860
never lets loose, this faith that stands by
322
00:14:41.860 --> 00:14:45.520
what God has promised - by this kind of faith
323
00:14:45.520 --> 00:14:47.620
the elders obtained a good report.
324
00:14:47.620 --> 00:14:49.210
Then when you go on in chapter 11,
325
00:14:49.210 --> 00:14:50.800
you read about the elders.
326
00:14:50.800 --> 00:14:52.910
It talks about Enoch, it talks about Noah,
327
00:14:52.910 --> 00:14:55.580
it talks about Abraham,
it talks about Isaac,
328
00:14:55.580 --> 00:14:58.070
talks about Joseph, talks about Jacob,
329
00:14:58.070 --> 00:15:02.300
talks about Moses, talks about all the great heroes
330
00:15:02.300 --> 00:15:03.680
of faith in the Old Testament.
331
00:15:03.680 --> 00:15:08.180
All of them received a word from God
332
00:15:09.230 --> 00:15:12.500
and many things came to take it away from them.
333
00:15:12.500 --> 00:15:16.310
But like a bulldog, they wrapped their jowls around
334
00:15:16.310 --> 00:15:19.490
that word from God and said, we're gonna stand by this word.
335
00:15:19.490 --> 00:15:23.630
I don't care how hard you pull, how many times life tries
336
00:15:23.630 --> 00:15:24.650
to take it away from me,
337
00:15:24.650 --> 00:15:25.940
I know that I know that
338
00:15:25.940 --> 00:15:29.720
I know that God spoke to me and I'm not going to release it.
339
00:15:29.720 --> 00:15:32.540
I'm gonna stand by what God has promised.
340
00:15:32.540 --> 00:15:34.520
That's what verse two is about.
341
00:15:34.520 --> 00:15:37.220
For by it, by this unbeatable, unbreakable,
342
00:15:37.220 --> 00:15:38.510
never give up kind of faith,
343
00:15:38.510 --> 00:15:41.060
the elders obtained a good report.
344
00:15:41.060 --> 00:15:44.090
Then you come to verse 3 which is a little confusing.
345
00:15:44.090 --> 00:15:45.800
It says, Through faith we understand
346
00:15:45.800 --> 00:15:48.590
that the worlds were framed by the word of God.
347
00:15:48.590 --> 00:15:51.290
So the things which are seen were not made
348
00:15:51.290 --> 00:15:52.640
of things which do appear.
349
00:15:52.640 --> 00:15:57.500
And it sounds like at first it's talking about creation;
350
00:15:57.500 --> 00:15:59.900
but it's not talking about creation.
351
00:15:59.900 --> 00:16:03.590
Verse 2 has already told us this whole chapter's gonna
352
00:16:03.590 --> 00:16:04.880
be about elders.
353
00:16:04.880 --> 00:16:06.110
It's gonna be what the heroes
354
00:16:06.110 --> 00:16:07.910
of faith did in the Old Testament.
355
00:16:07.910 --> 00:16:10.430
Why would he then suddenly switch subjects
356
00:16:10.430 --> 00:16:12.410
and go all the way back to creation?
357
00:16:12.410 --> 00:16:15.890
He doesn't. This is really a bad translation.
358
00:16:15.890 --> 00:16:17.990
Let me help you. Verse 3 says,
359
00:16:17.990 --> 00:16:20.240
Through faith - what kind of faith -
360
00:16:20.240 --> 00:16:24.560
un-bendable, unbreakable faith is faith that never lets go.
361
00:16:24.560 --> 00:16:25.910
We understand
362
00:16:25.910 --> 00:16:28.550
that the worlds were framed by the word of God.
363
00:16:28.550 --> 00:16:31.340
Okay. A problem with this verse is it's translated the
364
00:16:31.340 --> 00:16:32.750
word, worlds.
365
00:16:32.750 --> 00:16:34.760
But in Greek, it is not the word, worlds.
366
00:16:34.760 --> 00:16:36.860
It is the Greek word, ionus.
367
00:16:38.150 --> 00:16:41.600
If it was the word worlds it would've been the word, cosmos.
368
00:16:42.830 --> 00:16:45.050
These words don't even look the same.
369
00:16:45.050 --> 00:16:47.480
Cosmos would've referred to the universe,
370
00:16:47.480 --> 00:16:49.820
to the planet, to creation.
371
00:16:49.820 --> 00:16:51.710
But here we find the word ionis.
372
00:16:51.710 --> 00:16:56.300
And the word ionis describes
specific periods of time
373
00:16:57.200 --> 00:17:00.050
within the past history of mankind.
374
00:17:00.050 --> 00:17:04.460
For example, an ionis might be
a year, it could be a decade,
375
00:17:05.360 --> 00:17:08.090
it could be a century,
it could be a millennia,
376
00:17:08.090 --> 00:17:10.370
it could be a generation.
377
00:17:10.370 --> 00:17:12.230
That's what an ionis is.
378
00:17:12.230 --> 00:17:14.615
So if you're gonna translate this correctly,
379
00:17:14.615 --> 00:17:15.881
we would translate it:
380
00:17:15.881 --> 00:17:18.448
through this un bendable, unbreakable,
381
00:17:18.448 --> 00:17:20.808
never give up kind of faith.
382
00:17:20.808 --> 00:17:21.920
This faith that never lets go,
383
00:17:21.920 --> 00:17:24.260
and always stands by what God said.
384
00:17:25.190 --> 00:17:27.560
We understand that, ionus,
385
00:17:27.560 --> 00:17:31.580
different time periods, different generations,
386
00:17:31.580 --> 00:17:34.790
different decades, different centuries, different millennia
387
00:17:36.050 --> 00:17:37.790
were framed by the word of God.
388
00:17:37.790 --> 00:17:40.400
And the word framed is the Greek word, which means
389
00:17:40.400 --> 00:17:42.410
to be adjusted.
390
00:17:42.410 --> 00:17:44.960
So now you would translate it: through this unbeatable,
391
00:17:44.960 --> 00:17:47.420
unbreakable, never give up kind of faith,
392
00:17:47.420 --> 00:17:51.570
we find the different time periods,
393
00:17:51.570 --> 00:17:54.660
different generations, different decades,
394
00:17:54.660 --> 00:17:59.660
different centuries have been altered and adjusted.
395
00:18:00.090 --> 00:18:02.340
How? By those
396
00:18:02.340 --> 00:18:06.780
who received a word from God.
397
00:18:06.780 --> 00:18:09.510
That is what the Greek actually says.
398
00:18:09.510 --> 00:18:12.450
Let me give it to you again; through this unbendable,
399
00:18:12.450 --> 00:18:15.540
unbreakable, never give up kind of faith,
400
00:18:15.540 --> 00:18:18.120
we understand that different time periods,
401
00:18:18.120 --> 00:18:20.670
different generations, different decades
402
00:18:20.670 --> 00:18:23.160
and centuries have been altered
403
00:18:23.160 --> 00:18:26.760
and adjusted by those
404
00:18:26.760 --> 00:18:29.760
that received a word from God.
405
00:18:29.760 --> 00:18:31.950
And then the rest of the verse says,
406
00:18:31.950 --> 00:18:33.990
so the things which are seen were not made
407
00:18:33.990 --> 00:18:36.000
of things which do appear, which means
408
00:18:36.000 --> 00:18:39.840
by the time these elders were
finished with their life,
409
00:18:39.840 --> 00:18:43.230
they left the world
completely different than
410
00:18:43.230 --> 00:18:44.520
how they first found.
411
00:18:44.520 --> 00:18:49.520
And then the whole chapter
11 begins to give us examples
412
00:18:50.070 --> 00:18:53.610
of people who received their
word from God, who stood
413
00:18:53.610 --> 00:18:55.380
by their word from God,
414
00:18:55.380 --> 00:18:59.400
and because they refuse to budge in their time,
415
00:18:59.400 --> 00:19:02.400
in their generation, in their day,
416
00:19:02.400 --> 00:19:05.940
they completely altered the course of history.
417
00:19:05.940 --> 00:19:09.420
That is the power of you having one promise from God.
418
00:19:09.420 --> 00:19:12.720
We come to the example of Enoch in verse 5, the example
419
00:19:12.720 --> 00:19:15.510
of Noah in verse 7, the example
420
00:19:15.510 --> 00:19:19.650
of Abraham in verse 8, the example of Sarah in verse 11,
421
00:19:19.650 --> 00:19:22.710
the example of Isaac in verse 20, the example
422
00:19:22.710 --> 00:19:26.910
of Jacob in verse 21, the
example of Joseph in verse 21,
423
00:19:26.910 --> 00:19:31.230
the example of Moses in verse
23 and on and on and on.
424
00:19:31.230 --> 00:19:33.960
All of these were individuals
who got a word from God
425
00:19:33.960 --> 00:19:36.510
and said, I'm not gonna
move for it from it.
426
00:19:36.510 --> 00:19:37.710
I'm not gonna move from it.
427
00:19:37.710 --> 00:19:40.830
And this leads us to Hebrews 11:6.
428
00:19:40.830 --> 00:19:42.660
This is where we're gonna wrap it up.
429
00:19:42.660 --> 00:19:47.640
Without faith, it is impossible to please God.
430
00:19:47.640 --> 00:19:49.530
What does that mean - without faith?
431
00:19:49.530 --> 00:19:52.380
The word, without, is the Greek word, choris.
432
00:19:53.550 --> 00:19:55.470
It doesn't mean what you think.
433
00:19:55.470 --> 00:19:58.020
Now, let's use this circle as an example.
434
00:19:59.670 --> 00:20:03.900
If you were a person,
you can be in the circle
435
00:20:04.830 --> 00:20:06.930
or you can be out of the
circle, but you can't be in
436
00:20:06.930 --> 00:20:08.520
and out at the same time.
437
00:20:08.520 --> 00:20:11.070
You have to choose either
you're in or you're out.
438
00:20:11.070 --> 00:20:14.370
The word, choris, means to be on the outside.
439
00:20:14.370 --> 00:20:16.410
So a better translation would be to be on the
440
00:20:16.410 --> 00:20:18.090
outside of faith
441
00:20:18.090 --> 00:20:22.380
you cannot please God. And it means faith must be a place.
442
00:20:22.380 --> 00:20:25.950
It's a place. Faith is a place.
443
00:20:25.950 --> 00:20:28.350
It is the promise that God gave you.
444
00:20:28.350 --> 00:20:30.840
You've gotta stay in that place.
445
00:20:30.840 --> 00:20:33.420
It is the pledge that God made to you.
446
00:20:33.420 --> 00:20:36.150
You've gotta stay in that place.
447
00:20:36.150 --> 00:20:38.670
But the enemy, through all these dream thieves, is trying
448
00:20:38.670 --> 00:20:40.530
to move you out of faith.
449
00:20:41.550 --> 00:20:44.880
But if you're outside of faith, if you've left the promise,
450
00:20:44.880 --> 00:20:46.350
if you've thrown away your faith
451
00:20:46.350 --> 00:20:48.130
and you've moved of the place
452
00:20:48.130 --> 00:20:53.130
and the promise that God made
to you, you can't please God.
453
00:20:53.350 --> 00:20:55.030
And this is why it is essential
454
00:20:55.030 --> 00:20:58.300
that you stay in your place of faith.
455
00:20:58.300 --> 00:21:01.120
And as long as you're in your place,
456
00:21:02.230 --> 00:21:05.050
eventually all the Dream Thieves go away,
457
00:21:06.220 --> 00:21:10.210
and you find yourself invaded by the promise
458
00:21:10.210 --> 00:21:12.160
that you've been waiting for.
459
00:21:12.160 --> 00:21:14.680
But you've gotta stay
in your place of faith
460
00:21:14.680 --> 00:21:16.060
for you to receive.
461
00:21:16.960 --> 00:21:19.150
Wow! I'll be back in just a moment
462
00:21:19.150 --> 00:21:20.290
and I'm going to pray for you.
463
00:21:28.810 --> 00:21:32.380
Is it possible to give to
help people with needs instead
464
00:21:32.380 --> 00:21:33.910
of tithing to a church?
465
00:21:33.910 --> 00:21:35.380
Well, it's possible to do anything,
466
00:21:35.380 --> 00:21:37.660
but that doesn't mean that it's right.
467
00:21:37.660 --> 00:21:41.320
It's very clear in Malachi 3, that the tithe is
468
00:21:41.320 --> 00:21:43.930
to be brought into the storehouse.
469
00:21:43.930 --> 00:21:45.730
And the storehouse is that place
470
00:21:45.730 --> 00:21:47.710
where you are regularly fed.
471
00:21:47.710 --> 00:21:49.180
That could be a church.
472
00:21:49.180 --> 00:21:50.440
If you don't attend a church,
473
00:21:50.440 --> 00:21:53.230
or maybe there's not a
church where you live,
474
00:21:53.230 --> 00:21:55.270
but there's a ministry
that is the storehouse
475
00:21:55.270 --> 00:21:56.590
that you're fed from.
476
00:21:56.590 --> 00:21:59.470
That's where you should
be giving your tithe.
477
00:21:59.470 --> 00:22:03.010
But then above that, you can give alms.
478
00:22:03.010 --> 00:22:06.070
You can give offerings in addition to your tithe.
479
00:22:06.070 --> 00:22:08.410
You know very well, Joel, that Denise
480
00:22:08.410 --> 00:22:10.300
and I are committed to giving our tithe.
481
00:22:10.300 --> 00:22:15.190
But in addition to the tithe,
we give additional offerings.
482
00:22:15.190 --> 00:22:18.100
We give offerings to all kinds
of people that are in need.
483
00:22:18.100 --> 00:22:20.800
We, Denise and I personally
give to other ministries
484
00:22:20.800 --> 00:22:23.830
and missionaries, but
that's not our tithe.
485
00:22:23.830 --> 00:22:26.380
Our tithe belongs to the storehouse.
486
00:22:27.550 --> 00:22:31.360
Hebrews 10:23 says, Let us hold fast the profession
487
00:22:31.360 --> 00:22:32.950
of our faith without wavering
488
00:22:32.950 --> 00:22:37.780
for he is faithful that promised. Time, isolation, the enemy
489
00:22:37.780 --> 00:22:40.150
and even loved ones can steal our confidence
490
00:22:40.150 --> 00:22:41.290
in God's promises.
491
00:22:41.290 --> 00:22:42.730
But God is faithful.
492
00:22:42.730 --> 00:22:46.120
We must be unwavering in our
faith, especially in the midst
493
00:22:46.120 --> 00:22:49.240
of the thieves that come to
steal our God-given dreams.
494

and I'm standing just outside
the editorial department
524
00:24:08.840 --> 00:24:10.550
in the Tulsa headquarters building.
525
00:24:10.550 --> 00:24:14.420
You have eight people that
work just in editorial
526
00:24:14.420 --> 00:24:17.600
because these fingers are typing a lot
527
00:24:17.600 --> 00:24:19.430
of information and revelation.
528
00:24:19.430 --> 00:24:21.440
God spoke to me years ago
529
00:24:21.440 --> 00:24:25.400
and said he would speak through my fingers if I would write;
530
00:24:25.400 --> 00:24:26.960
and I've been writing ever since.
531
00:24:26.960 --> 00:24:28.730
And just outside editorial,
532
00:24:28.730 --> 00:24:31.880
we have several key scriptures. Here we have 2 Timothy
533
00:24:31.880 --> 00:24:34.700
3:16 & 17, All scripture
534
00:24:34.700 --> 00:24:36.140
is given by inspiration of God
535
00:24:36.140 --> 00:24:39.350
and it's profitable for doctrine, reproof, correction,
536
00:24:39.350 --> 00:24:41.060
instruction in righteousness.
537
00:24:41.060 --> 00:24:42.590
I really believe that.
538
00:24:42.590 --> 00:24:45.560
Next to that, we have Ecclesiastes 8:4.
539
00:24:45.560 --> 00:24:47.540
You've heard this before, "Where the word
540
00:24:47.540 --> 00:24:50.360
of a king is there is power."
541
00:24:50.360 --> 00:24:53.420
And next there's a sign, the prophetic word which God gave
542
00:24:53.420 --> 00:24:54.890
to me in 1978 -
543
00:24:54.890 --> 00:24:58.340
Write, write, write and I'll prosper what you write.
544
00:24:58.340 --> 00:25:00.860
And I've been writing ever since.
545
00:25:00.860 --> 00:25:04.190
And this is a very important part of our ministry
546
00:25:04.190 --> 00:25:08.510
because we send published revelation,
547
00:25:08.510 --> 00:25:12.410
information, all kinds of material to the ends
548
00:25:12.410 --> 00:25:14.180
of the Earth.
549
00:25:14.180 --> 00:25:16.820
And you're a part of it because you're a partner.
550
00:25:16.820 --> 00:25:20.450
You know, we've recently just finished 70%
551
00:25:20.450 --> 00:25:22.910
of our Ministry Expansion Project.
552
00:25:22.910 --> 00:25:24.890
Now 30% remains.
553
00:25:24.890 --> 00:25:27.560
If you're part of the team,
I wanna say thank you.
554
00:25:27.560 --> 00:25:29.090
If you're not a part of the team
555
00:25:29.090 --> 00:25:31.400
to help us retire the debt on this building
556
00:25:31.400 --> 00:25:33.020
and the whole project,
557
00:25:33.020 --> 00:25:35.270
would you please become part of the team?
558
00:25:35.270 --> 00:25:38.780
We wanna release all those
funds so we can redirect them
559
00:25:38.780 --> 00:25:42.020
to take more teaching of the
Bible to the ends of the Earth
560
00:25:42.020 --> 00:25:44.420
where people are crying out - God,
561
00:25:44.420 --> 00:25:47.060
please send me teaching that I can trust.
562
00:25:47.060 --> 00:25:50.600
Please pray about becoming a part of our Giving Team.
563
00:25:58.040 --> 00:26:00.530
Well, we just wrapped up my brand new series called, How
564
00:26:00.530 --> 00:26:01.910
to Stay in a Place of Faith.
565
00:26:01.910 --> 00:26:03.980
And My Friends, you need this 10-part series
566
00:26:03.980 --> 00:26:06.200
and you need to hear it and hear it and hear it and hear it
567
00:26:06.200 --> 00:26:09.260
because faith comes by hearing and hearing
568
00:26:09.260 --> 00:26:10.490
and hearing the word of God.
569
00:26:10.490 --> 00:26:14.030
And it comes with a study guide. And today is the last day
570
00:26:14.030 --> 00:26:16.760
we're offering this to you along with my book
571
00:26:16.760 --> 00:26:19.730
which is called, Dream Thieves - Overcoming Obstacles
572
00:26:19.730 --> 00:26:21.230
to Fulfill Your Dreams.
573
00:26:21.230 --> 00:26:22.310
Also the last day
574
00:26:22.310 --> 00:26:25.130
that we're offering this book
on the program right now.
575
00:26:25.130 --> 00:26:26.240
So please go online
576
00:26:26.240 --> 00:26:28.910
or give us a call to
order all of these things.
577
00:26:28.910 --> 00:26:30.380
And I wanna pray for you right now.
578
00:26:30.380 --> 00:26:33.140
The devil wants you to move
outta your place of faith
579
00:26:33.140 --> 00:26:35.780
because he knows as long
as you stay there one
580
00:26:35.780 --> 00:26:37.970
of these days, the manifestation you've been
581
00:26:37.970 --> 00:26:39.260
waiting for is gonna show up.
582
00:26:39.260 --> 00:26:42.950
So Father, in the name of
Jesus, I pray for the power
583
00:26:42.950 --> 00:26:45.810
of the Holy Spirit to
enable my precious friend
584
00:26:45.810 --> 00:26:49.290
to stay in the place of faith
585
00:26:49.290 --> 00:26:53.460
until finally they are invaded by Heaven's answer.
586
00:26:53.460 --> 00:26:58.460
In Jesus' name - Amen. Stay in your place of faith.
587
00:26:59.040 --> 00:27:00.840
I'll see you in the next program.
588
00:27:00.840 --> 00:27:04.290
But until then, remember Ecclesiastes 8:4 says,
589
00:27:04.290 --> 00:27:08.220
"Where the word of a king is, there really is power."
590
00:27:08.220 --> 00:27:10.500
If you've never received
Jesus as your Savior
591
00:27:10.500 --> 00:27:14.880
and Lord, now is the time for
you to experience a new life
592
00:27:14.880 --> 00:27:17.070
Jesus has to give you.
593
00:27:17.070 --> 00:27:21.120
Pray this prayer with me right now. Lord,
594
00:27:21.120 --> 00:27:25.140
I repented my sin and
receive you as my Savior
595
00:27:25.140 --> 00:27:28.140
and Lord. Wash away my sin
596
00:27:28.140 --> 00:27:31.140
and make me completely new.
597
00:27:31.140 --> 00:27:35.010
I thank you that my sin is removed
598
00:27:35.010 --> 00:27:40.010
and Satan no longer has any
right to lay claim on me.
599
00:27:40.470 --> 00:27:44.460
I faithfully promise that
I will serve you as my Lord
600
00:27:44.460 --> 00:27:46.170
for the rest of my life.
601
00:27:47.040 --> 00:27:48.040
Amen.
602
00:27:50.970 --> 00:27:53.790
If you just prayed the prayer of salvation with us,
603
00:27:53.790 --> 00:27:55.710
would you please let us know by going

00:27:55.710 --> 00:27:58.710
