00:00:00.750 --> 00:00:03.210
This program is made
possible by the giving
2
00:00:03.210 --> 00:00:06.450
of the God called partners
of Renner Ministries.
3
00:00:07.440 --> 00:00:08.670
My name is Rick Renner
4
00:00:08.670 --> 00:00:13.110
and today I'm in the Resurrection of Christ Church in St.
5
00:00:13.110 --> 00:00:14.790
Petersburg; a church
6
00:00:14.790 --> 00:00:19.590
that was officially consecrated in 1907.
7
00:00:19.590 --> 00:00:22.260
It is simply breathtaking.
8
00:00:22.260 --> 00:00:27.000
It's covered with more
than 71,000 square feet
9
00:00:27.000 --> 00:00:28.710
of mosaics,
10
00:00:28.710 --> 00:00:32.040
which were created in a
workshop right here in St.
11
00:00:32.040 --> 00:00:36.270
Petersburg, but due to
the communist regime,
12
00:00:36.270 --> 00:00:39.090
the church was closed in 1930
13
00:00:39.090 --> 00:00:42.390
and the big bells were melted
down and done away with,
14
00:00:42.390 --> 00:00:46.980
and plans were to completely
demolish this church.
15
00:00:46.980 --> 00:00:50.970
But that plan was stopped by
the events of World War II,
16
00:00:50.970 --> 00:00:55.265
and this was turned into a morgue. At various times,
17
00:00:55.265 --> 00:00:57.600
it was used as a warehouse for potatoes
18
00:00:57.600 --> 00:00:59.880
and vegetables and roots.
19
00:00:59.880 --> 00:01:01.410
Then it was used as a warehouse
20
00:01:01.410 --> 00:01:04.380
for props from a local theater.
21
00:01:04.380 --> 00:01:08.190
This place literally fell into disrepair.
22
00:01:08.190 --> 00:01:09.570
It was nearly forgotten.
23
00:01:09.570 --> 00:01:12.240
In fact, it was under
scaffolding for years
24
00:01:12.240 --> 00:01:13.920
and years and years.
25
00:01:13.920 --> 00:01:17.400
There was nearly an entire
generation of people in St.
26
00:01:17.400 --> 00:01:21.660
Petersburg who never saw the
exterior of this building.
27
00:01:22.680 --> 00:01:26.640
But in 1997, it reopened as a museum.
28
00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:29.280
Today it's a working church.
29
00:01:29.280 --> 00:01:34.110
Behind me are the holy gates
that lead to the inner chance
30
00:01:34.110 --> 00:01:35.460
of the high altar.
31
00:01:35.460 --> 00:01:38.400
These gates are encrusted,
they're decorated,
32
00:01:38.400 --> 00:01:40.200
they're like treasures.
33
00:01:40.200 --> 00:01:44.310
In fact, this whole building
is like a treasure. Wow!
34
00:01:45.330 --> 00:01:48.163
But when you read 2 Corinthians 4:7, it talks about you
35
00:01:49.080 --> 00:01:52.260
and me being the repository
36
00:01:52.260 --> 00:01:54.540
of God's greatest treasure.
37
00:01:55.620 --> 00:01:58.890
It says, we have this treasure in earthen
38
00:01:58.890 --> 00:02:02.430
vessels - that's you and me, we're earthen
39
00:02:02.430 --> 00:02:06.900
vessels - that the excellency of the power may be of God
40
00:02:06.900 --> 00:02:11.400
and not of us - which means God put his richest treasure not
41
00:02:11.400 --> 00:02:15.210
in buildings like this, but
he put his treasure in me.
42
00:02:15.210 --> 00:02:18.630
He put it in you. The treasure is the riches
43
00:02:18.630 --> 00:02:23.070
of Christ: forgiveness, the blood of Jesus, the promises
44
00:02:23.070 --> 00:02:25.500
of God, the gift of the Holy Spirit.
45
00:02:25.500 --> 00:02:29.370
All of these things have
been placed inside us.
46
00:02:30.480 --> 00:02:31.680
And in fact, when Paul writes
47
00:02:31.680 --> 00:02:33.540
that we have this treasure in earthen
48
00:02:33.540 --> 00:02:37.530
vessels, that word treasure describes something so rich,
49
00:02:37.530 --> 00:02:41.880
so immense that it is inexhaustible.
50
00:02:41.880 --> 00:02:46.440
God has placed his rich, immense, inexhaustible treasure
51
00:02:47.310 --> 00:02:51.810
inside us - right here, right
52
00:02:51.810 --> 00:02:55.620
inside you - and that is what I'm going
53
00:02:55.620 --> 00:02:57.480
to talk to you about today.
54
00:02:57.480 --> 00:03:00.700
Get ready for a teaching
that feeds your spirit
55
00:03:00.700 --> 00:03:04.840
and your mind where the word
is the anchor in uncertain
56
00:03:04.840 --> 00:03:09.520
times and doctrine
doesn't bend to culture.
57
00:03:09.520 --> 00:03:10.960
We keep it simple,
58
00:03:10.960 --> 00:03:15.520
but dive deep revealing a
truth that strengthens us,
59
00:03:16.390 --> 00:03:18.040
a love that emboldens,
60
00:03:19.420 --> 00:03:21.580
and a mission that touches the world.
61
00:03:23.920 --> 00:03:25.450
Let's join Rick Renner.
62
00:03:27.670 --> 00:03:30.970
Welcome to today's program.
My name is Rick Renner.
63
00:03:30.970 --> 00:03:34.030
Thank you for letting me
come right into your space.
64
00:03:34.030 --> 00:03:37.960
Today we're gonna return to 1 Corinthians 6:19,
65
00:03:37.960 --> 00:03:42.700
where we discover that we are
the temple of the Holy Spirit
66
00:03:42.700 --> 00:03:45.130
and we're about to wrap up this series.
67
00:03:45.130 --> 00:03:47.320
We have two more parts in this series
68
00:03:47.320 --> 00:03:50.410
and wow, the next two
programs are simply going
69
00:03:50.410 --> 00:03:51.640
to be marvelous,
70
00:03:51.640 --> 00:03:54.370
but I want you to order the whole series,
71
00:03:54.370 --> 00:03:58.030
which is called, You are the Temple of the Holy Spirit.
72
00:03:58.030 --> 00:04:00.520
If you need a real boost for your self image,
73
00:04:00.520 --> 00:04:02.950
this is the series you need
74
00:04:02.950 --> 00:04:05.710
because it will show
you what is inside you.
75
00:04:05.710 --> 00:04:09.430
My friend. You are a walking sanctuary.
76
00:04:09.430 --> 00:04:11.710
You are the temple of the Holy Spirit
77
00:04:11.710 --> 00:04:13.570
and in this 10 part series, we go
78
00:04:13.570 --> 00:04:16.150
through all the verses in
the New Testament about
79
00:04:16.150 --> 00:04:19.990
what God's grace did in
our life when we got saved.
80
00:04:19.990 --> 00:04:24.220
God transformed you into
our walking sanctuary.
81
00:04:24.220 --> 00:04:27.130
You are the temple of the Holy Spirit.
82
00:04:27.130 --> 00:04:29.650
Anyway, this comes in multiple formats
83
00:04:29.650 --> 00:04:32.320
and it comes with a wonderful study guide
84
00:04:32.320 --> 00:04:34.090
and the study guide is just loaded
85
00:04:34.090 --> 00:04:36.220
with all the points, the principles.
86
00:04:36.220 --> 00:04:40.150
Everything in these programs
is also in the study guide
87
00:04:40.150 --> 00:04:43.570
and we're also offering
you right now my book,
88
00:04:43.570 --> 00:04:46.240
which is called, A Life Ablaze: 10 Simple Keys
89
00:04:46.240 --> 00:04:48.910
to Living On Fire for God.
90
00:04:48.910 --> 00:04:50.920
This is a very substantial book
91
00:04:50.920 --> 00:04:53.620
and the back of the book says - Do you struggle
92
00:04:53.620 --> 00:04:56.140
to keep the fire of the Holy
Spirit burning in your heart
93
00:04:56.140 --> 00:05:00.160
with the same fiery
intensity as the early days
94
00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:01.570
of your walk with Jesus?
95
00:05:01.570 --> 00:05:04.750
Do you feel like only a
few glowing embers remain
96
00:05:04.750 --> 00:05:07.270
and even those are growing cold?
97
00:05:07.270 --> 00:05:11.080
Or if you're on fire for
God, how do you stay on fire?
98
00:05:11.080 --> 00:05:14.560
In this book, Rick Renner describes the spiritual fuel you
99
00:05:14.560 --> 00:05:17.110
must have to stay spiritually
100
00:05:17.110 --> 00:05:21.490
ablazed; not one of these essential fuels is optional.
101
00:05:21.490 --> 00:05:23.320
All are necessary
102
00:05:23.320 --> 00:05:27.490
to fulfill your God-given purpose on this earth. My friend,
103
00:05:27.490 --> 00:05:29.470
this is a book you really need.
104
00:05:29.470 --> 00:05:33.580
It will help you stay
ablaze for Jesus to the end
105
00:05:33.580 --> 00:05:35.050
of your life.
106
00:05:35.050 --> 00:05:36.130
So order yours today.
107
00:05:36.130 --> 00:05:38.380

108
00:05:38.380 --> 00:05:39.850
and you can order it right now.
109
00:05:39.850 --> 00:05:42.130
And please remember that
when you need prayer,
110
00:05:42.130 --> 00:05:43.420
we are here for you.
111
00:05:43.420 --> 00:05:45.730
We really want to pray for you.
112
00:05:45.730 --> 00:05:47.500
Denise and I and our ministry team,
113
00:05:47.500 --> 00:05:49.900
we believe in the power of prayer.
114
00:05:49.900 --> 00:05:52.420
The Bible tells us in Jeremiah 33:3,
115
00:05:52.420 --> 00:05:54.910
Call into me and I'll show you great
116
00:05:54.910 --> 00:05:56.890
and mighty things that thou knowest not.
117
00:05:56.890 --> 00:06:01.040
We believe that when we call
out in faith, God moves.
118
00:06:01.040 --> 00:06:04.220
And if you need God to move in
your life, in your marriage,
119
00:06:04.220 --> 00:06:07.910
in your health, in your kids,
in your finances, in any area
120
00:06:07.910 --> 00:06:10.790
of your life, call us or send us an email
121
00:06:10.790 --> 00:06:13.760
and we will call out to
God in faith with you
122
00:06:13.760 --> 00:06:17.810
and believe for God to
show you amazing things.
123
00:06:17.810 --> 00:06:19.880
God wants to answer your prayer
124
00:06:19.880 --> 00:06:23.030
and we would love to pray with you.
125
00:06:23.030 --> 00:06:24.950
Well, I hope you have your Bible; today
126
00:06:24.950 --> 00:06:27.170
you're going to need your Bible
127
00:06:27.170 --> 00:06:29.810
and we're going to return
to our anchor verse,
128
00:06:29.810 --> 00:06:33.560
which is in Corinthians 6:19.
129
00:06:33.560 --> 00:06:37.130
How I love this verse. Paul is writing to the Corinthians
130
00:06:37.130 --> 00:06:40.280
who really were behaving below themselves.
131
00:06:40.280 --> 00:06:42.440
They were not behaving in the holy way they
132
00:06:42.440 --> 00:06:43.910
should have been behaving.
133
00:06:43.910 --> 00:06:47.330
So Paul writes to them in 1 Corinthians 6:
134
00:06:47.330 --> 00:06:50.720
19, with this sense of shock. He says - What?
135
00:06:50.720 --> 00:06:53.570 line:15%
Know you not that your body is
the temple of the Holy Ghost,
136
00:06:53.570 --> 00:06:56.780
which is in you, which you have of God
137
00:06:56.780 --> 00:06:57.890
and you're not your own.
138
00:06:57.890 --> 00:07:00.140
When Paul begins with
the word what in Greek,
139
00:07:00.140 --> 00:07:01.760
it is an exclamation.
140
00:07:01.760 --> 00:07:04.190
He is literally stunned
at what they're doing
141
00:07:04.190 --> 00:07:05.420
and how they're behaving.
142
00:07:05.420 --> 00:07:09.440
And he says, what is this?
What do you not understand?
143
00:07:09.440 --> 00:07:11.990
In fact, the King James
version says, know ye not.
144
00:07:11.990 --> 00:07:14.393 line:15%
Well in Greek it ouk
145
00:07:14.393 --> 00:07:17.150
oidate. The word ouk, is the emphatic form of the word
146
00:07:17.150 --> 00:07:21.050
not. Oidate is from the word, oida which means to know,
147
00:07:21.050 --> 00:07:23.150
to perceive or to comprehend.
148
00:07:23.150 --> 00:07:24.740
When you put all this together,
149
00:07:24.740 --> 00:07:26.840
Paul is saying - What is this?
150
00:07:26.840 --> 00:07:31.070
Have you not yet understood?
Have you not gotten it yet?
151
00:07:31.070 --> 00:07:33.560
Have you not realized yet
152
00:07:33.560 --> 00:07:37.700
that your body is the
temple of the Holy Ghost?
153
00:07:37.700 --> 00:07:39.800
Even the word - that - is important in the Greek
154
00:07:39.800 --> 00:07:41.810
text, it is a Greek word hoti.
155
00:07:41.810 --> 00:07:44.570
It points to what Paul wants to say.
156
00:07:44.570 --> 00:07:46.460
It is his way of saying, listen to this,
157
00:07:46.460 --> 00:07:49.970
I want you to get this point - Do you not yet understand?
158
00:07:49.970 --> 00:07:54.680
Have you not yet comprehended that your body:
159
00:07:54.680 --> 00:07:56.990 line:15%
and the word body, that is used here is the word soma,
160
00:07:56.990 --> 00:07:59.720 line:15%
which refers to the physical body,
161
00:07:59.720 --> 00:08:01.910
and my friend, this indeed is a miracle.
162
00:08:01.910 --> 00:08:05.090
God has transformed our physical bodies
163
00:08:05.090 --> 00:08:07.700
to be the receptacle, the container,
164
00:08:07.700 --> 00:08:10.100
or the temple of the Holy Spirit.
165
00:08:10.100 --> 00:08:13.520
How are you treating your
body treats your body well
166
00:08:13.520 --> 00:08:16.070
because your body is the dwelling place
167
00:08:16.070 --> 00:08:20.240
or this verse says, it is
the temple of the Holy Ghost.
168
00:08:20.240 --> 00:08:22.910
The word temple is a Greek word naos,
169
00:08:22.910 --> 00:08:25.280
and as I've told you in previous programs,
170
00:08:25.280 --> 00:08:27.230
that word naos describes the temple
171
00:08:27.230 --> 00:08:30.260
or a highly decorated shrine.
172
00:08:30.260 --> 00:08:33.920
It is the image of vaulted ceilings, marble, granite, gold,
173
00:08:33.920 --> 00:08:37.400
silver, highly decorated ornamentation.
174
00:08:37.400 --> 00:08:40.160
It is the most sacred
innermost part of a temple,
175
00:08:40.160 --> 00:08:42.825
and the very word used in the Old Testament Septuagint
176
00:08:42.825 --> 00:08:46.640
to describe the Holy of Holies in the Old Testament.
177
00:08:46.640 --> 00:08:49.940
And now Paul, who knows what
this word means, uses it
178
00:08:49.940 --> 00:08:53.300
to describe what God has
transformed us to be.
179
00:08:53.300 --> 00:08:57.240
We have become the temple
of the Holy Ghost right here
180
00:08:57.240 --> 00:08:59.520
inside our body.
181
00:08:59.520 --> 00:09:03.810
The Holy Spirit dwells. He's
in me right now. He is in you.
182
00:09:03.810 --> 00:09:08.810
If Jesus is the Lord of your
life; the Holy Spirit moved in
183
00:09:08.940 --> 00:09:11.820
and he became a permanent
resident in our life,
184
00:09:11.820 --> 00:09:15.780
and now we are walking sanctuaries.
185
00:09:15.780 --> 00:09:17.340
That is amazing.
186
00:09:17.340 --> 00:09:19.890
And that's why Paul says to the Corinthians - What?
187
00:09:19.890 --> 00:09:21.870
How can you behave like you're behaving?
188
00:09:21.870 --> 00:09:24.420
How can you do the low
level things you're doing?
189
00:09:24.420 --> 00:09:28.830
Do you not yet understand
that your body is the temple
190
00:09:28.830 --> 00:09:31.650
of the Holy Ghost, which is in you?
191
00:09:31.650 --> 00:09:33.060
Even the word in, is important
192
00:09:33.060 --> 00:09:36.480
because in Greek it means, en:
it identifies the location is
193
00:09:36.480 --> 00:09:41.010
inside you, which you have of God.
194
00:09:41.010 --> 00:09:43.620
You have in Greek as a form
of the word echo, which means
195
00:09:43.620 --> 00:09:46.710
to hold, to possess, or to contain.
196
00:09:46.710 --> 00:09:49.770
He's saying that we are
the holders, the possessors
197
00:09:49.770 --> 00:09:50.790
or the containers
198
00:09:50.790 --> 00:09:53.970
of this amazing temple
which we have of God.
199
00:09:53.970 --> 00:09:55.560
The word of, in Greek is the word apo,
200
00:09:55.560 --> 00:09:57.420
which means it came from God.
201
00:09:57.420 --> 00:09:59.190
This is not as a result
202
00:09:59.190 --> 00:10:01.620
of personal rehabilitation or reform.
203
00:10:01.620 --> 00:10:03.570
This is something we received of God.
204
00:10:03.570 --> 00:10:06.360
The Greek literally says
from God, this is a work
205
00:10:06.360 --> 00:10:09.030
of God's grace in our lives.
206
00:10:09.030 --> 00:10:11.910
And he says, you are not your own.
207
00:10:11.910 --> 00:10:15.150
Well, every Greek reader
that was listening
208
00:10:15.150 --> 00:10:18.390
and reading this verse knew that word naos,
209
00:10:18.390 --> 00:10:21.300
which described a highly decorated shrine
210
00:10:21.300 --> 00:10:24.960
or a temple filled with
lavish ornamentations.
211
00:10:24.960 --> 00:10:27.780
That is the word which Paul
uses when he describes our
212
00:10:27.780 --> 00:10:31.470
bodies as being the
temple of the Holy Spirit.
213
00:10:31.470 --> 00:10:33.900
But when you come to 1 Corinthians 1:
214
00:10:33.900 --> 00:10:36.300
4, we find that when the grace of God touched us,
215
00:10:36.300 --> 00:10:40.620
it literally lavishly embellished us internally.
216
00:10:40.620 --> 00:10:43.410
And I'm going to show you this today beginning in
217
00:10:43.410 --> 00:10:46.290
1 Corinthians 1, where Paul writes
218
00:10:46.290 --> 00:10:48.000
to the Corinthians
219
00:10:48.000 --> 00:10:50.850
and he says, I thank my God always on your behalf.
220
00:10:50.850 --> 00:10:54.480
Now listen to this: for the grace of God which is given you
221
00:10:54.480 --> 00:10:57.090
by Jesus Christ.
222
00:10:57.090 --> 00:10:59.910
And Paul here uses the word grace,
223
00:10:59.910 --> 00:11:03.510
and I wanna stop for a moment
and talk about the word grace.
224
00:11:03.510 --> 00:11:06.300
Many people today are
talking about grace without
225
00:11:06.300 --> 00:11:10.320
understanding the historical
roots of this word, grace.
226
00:11:10.320 --> 00:11:12.480
And you have to understand
that to really know
227
00:11:12.480 --> 00:11:14.820
what is the grace of God.
228
00:11:14.820 --> 00:11:17.490
The word grace is the Greek word charis.
229
00:11:17.490 --> 00:11:19.590
Now, I'm gonna read to you
directly from the pages
230
00:11:19.590 --> 00:11:22.890
of my book called Why We Need
the Gifts of the Holy Spirit.
231
00:11:22.890 --> 00:11:24.840
Why write about the Word grace?
232
00:11:24.840 --> 00:11:28.470
Listen to this; In the Greek language of the New Testament,
233
00:11:28.470 --> 00:11:30.330
the word grace is charis.
234
00:11:30.330 --> 00:11:32.220
That's the word used in this verse.
235
00:11:32.220 --> 00:11:34.890
Pages and pages could be written about the origins
236
00:11:34.890 --> 00:11:38.250
and the various nuisances of meaning contained in this word,
237
00:11:38.250 --> 00:11:39.960
charis or the word grace.
238
00:11:39.960 --> 00:11:44.010
But this word charis,
listen, denoted special power
239
00:11:44.010 --> 00:11:46.020
that was conferred upon an individual
240
00:11:46.020 --> 00:11:49.530
or a group of individuals by the gods.
241
00:11:49.530 --> 00:11:53.860
Once this charis, this grace
was conferred a person
242
00:11:53.860 --> 00:11:57.370
or a group of people, it imparted - imparted
243
00:11:57.370 --> 00:12:00.310
to them - supernatural abilities.
244
00:12:00.310 --> 00:12:03.160
In other words, it enabled them to do
245
00:12:03.160 --> 00:12:06.460
what they could not
normally or naturally do.
246
00:12:06.460 --> 00:12:09.550
In some secular literature
from the early New Testament
247
00:12:09.550 --> 00:12:13.690
period, the word charis, this
word grace, was even used
248
00:12:13.690 --> 00:12:15.100
to denote individuals
249
00:12:15.100 --> 00:12:17.590
who had been placed under a magic spell
250
00:12:17.590 --> 00:12:20.050
that transformed their personalities
251
00:12:20.050 --> 00:12:23.920
and imparted supernatural
abilities to them.
252
00:12:23.920 --> 00:12:27.100
All of that is in this word
grace, the Greek word charis,
253
00:12:27.100 --> 00:12:30.280
as used in secular Greek literature this word charis,
254
00:12:30.280 --> 00:12:31.390
the Greek word grace,
255
00:12:32.890 --> 00:12:37.210
described a specific moment when an individual experienced a
256
00:12:37.210 --> 00:12:39.100
supernatural touch of the gods,
257
00:12:39.100 --> 00:12:43.030
always resulting in some
type of outward evidence
258
00:12:43.030 --> 00:12:45.340
or visible manifestation.
259
00:12:45.340 --> 00:12:47.560
In this context, a person
260
00:12:47.560 --> 00:12:51.220
or group of people would never
experience a supernatural
261
00:12:51.220 --> 00:12:54.400
impartation of charis - grace, without some kind
262
00:12:54.400 --> 00:12:56.650
of outward evidence.
263
00:12:56.650 --> 00:12:59.710
In the New Testament, in the
New Testament, the word grace,
264
00:12:59.710 --> 00:13:02.920
the same word charis,
is sometimes translated
265
00:13:02.920 --> 00:13:04.300
as the word favor
266
00:13:04.300 --> 00:13:05.530
because the individual
267
00:13:05.530 --> 00:13:09.670
who receives it has been supernaturally enabled as a result
268
00:13:09.670 --> 00:13:12.220
of receiving favor from God.
269
00:13:12.220 --> 00:13:15.460
So when we read of grace
in the New Testament,
270
00:13:15.460 --> 00:13:17.110
we know it is referring
271
00:13:17.110 --> 00:13:21.280
to God graciously
imparting a special touch
272
00:13:21.280 --> 00:13:25.750
that enables, empowers and
strengthens the recipients.
273
00:13:25.750 --> 00:13:29.050
Praise God. All of this applies to us.
274
00:13:29.050 --> 00:13:32.710
We have received a divine
touch that has transformed us
275
00:13:32.710 --> 00:13:34.120
and given us abilities
276
00:13:34.120 --> 00:13:38.980
and graces to do what we
could have never done before.
277
00:13:38.980 --> 00:13:41.950
This word grace, the Greek
word charis, describes those
278
00:13:41.950 --> 00:13:44.980
that are enabled,
empowered and strengthened.
279
00:13:44.980 --> 00:13:48.130
It is a touch of God that
enhances personalities
280
00:13:48.130 --> 00:13:51.130
and imparts to people's
supernatural abilities,
281
00:13:51.130 --> 00:13:54.550
and it is always accompanied by some type
282
00:13:54.550 --> 00:13:56.920
of outward evidence or demonstration.
283
00:13:56.920 --> 00:14:01.920
Grace is never silent.
Grace is never invisible.
284
00:14:02.020 --> 00:14:04.600
Of course, it produces inward change,
285
00:14:04.600 --> 00:14:07.540
but it always comes with outward evidence.
286
00:14:07.540 --> 00:14:10.300
It is never silent. It is never invisible.
287
00:14:10.300 --> 00:14:15.300
It always manifests in
some visible, tangible way.
288
00:14:15.460 --> 00:14:19.210
Likewise, if you have been
touched by God's grace,
289
00:14:19.210 --> 00:14:21.640
you should expect his grace
290
00:14:21.640 --> 00:14:25.390
to visibly show up in
many areas of your life.
291
00:14:25.390 --> 00:14:29.230
That grace will empower you
to have victory over sin.
292
00:14:29.230 --> 00:14:31.600
It will enable you to control your tongue.
293
00:14:31.600 --> 00:14:33.730
It will transform you as its influence,
294
00:14:33.730 --> 00:14:35.230
changes your behavior.
295
00:14:35.230 --> 00:14:37.330
And by studying this word, grace,
296
00:14:37.330 --> 00:14:39.310
particularly in this verse,
297
00:14:39.310 --> 00:14:42.340
we find a specific insight
regarding this truth.
298
00:14:42.340 --> 00:14:46.120
When God's grace has been
liberally poured out,
299
00:14:46.120 --> 00:14:49.000
it visibly shows up in the form
300
00:14:49.000 --> 00:14:50.770
of the gifts of the Holy Spirit.
301
00:14:50.770 --> 00:14:53.120
That's we're going to
see in this verse today.
302
00:14:53.120 --> 00:14:56.090
All of that is in this
word, grace. My friend's,
303
00:14:56.090 --> 00:14:57.740
grace is powerful.
304
00:14:57.740 --> 00:15:02.270
It is the supernatural touch
of God that changes you.
305
00:15:02.270 --> 00:15:04.070
And I think it's so very important
306
00:15:04.070 --> 00:15:06.440
that in New Testament
times, it was even used
307
00:15:06.440 --> 00:15:08.900
to carry the idea of a divine spell
308
00:15:08.900 --> 00:15:11.180
because when a person came under under
309
00:15:11.180 --> 00:15:12.590
grace, they were transformed.
310
00:15:12.590 --> 00:15:15.290
They behaved differently,
they thought differently,
311
00:15:15.290 --> 00:15:18.230
they could do things they
previously could not do.
312
00:15:18.230 --> 00:15:21.320
And now Paul uses this word grace, just like that
313
00:15:21.320 --> 00:15:24.860
in this verse. He says, I thank my God always on your behalf
314
00:15:24.860 --> 00:15:27.470 line:15%
for the grace, this supernatural, empowering,
315
00:15:27.470 --> 00:15:31.070
transforming touch of God, which is given you
316
00:15:31.070 --> 00:15:32.900
by Christ Jesus.
317
00:15:32.900 --> 00:15:34.310
Then he says in verse 5 -
318
00:15:34.310 --> 00:15:37.130
That in everything you are enriched
319
00:15:37.130 --> 00:15:41.210
by him in all utterance
and in all knowledge.
320
00:15:41.210 --> 00:15:43.040
But notice in verse 5, Paul says
321
00:15:43.040 --> 00:15:47.990 line:15%
that in everything. In Greek it says, en panti.
322
00:15:47.990 --> 00:15:50.150
The word pan is all encompassing.
323
00:15:50.150 --> 00:15:51.320
It means everything.
324
00:15:51.320 --> 00:15:53.390
It could be translated all,
325
00:15:53.390 --> 00:15:55.340
but it has attached to
it the little word ti.
326
00:15:55.340 --> 00:15:56.630
It's not just pan, it's panti.
327
00:15:57.620 --> 00:16:00.200
A better translation would be - in every way.
328
00:16:00.200 --> 00:16:04.250
That word ti means every little minute, minuscule detail.
329
00:16:04.250 --> 00:16:08.330
So Paul is literally saying,
in every way, in everything,
330
00:16:08.330 --> 00:16:10.370
it is an all encompassing phrase.
331
00:16:10.370 --> 00:16:13.250
There's not one part of your
life that has not been affected
332
00:16:13.250 --> 00:16:16.760
by the grace of God in
every way, in everything,
333
00:16:16.760 --> 00:16:20.030
even in the most minute, minuscule detail,
334
00:16:20.030 --> 00:16:23.210
you have been enriched by him.
335
00:16:23.210 --> 00:16:25.940
Here we come to that lavish ornamentation,
336
00:16:25.940 --> 00:16:28.100
which God has done inside us.
337
00:16:28.100 --> 00:16:29.570
Oh, this is so powerful.
338
00:16:29.570 --> 00:16:33.080 line:15%
The word enriched is a form of the Greek word, ploutidzo.
339
00:16:33.080 --> 00:16:36.260
This word ploutidzo, shows up again and again.
340
00:16:36.260 --> 00:16:40.070
When we read about God's work
inside us, what God has done
341
00:16:40.070 --> 00:16:42.710
inside us. This word enriched,
342
00:16:42.710 --> 00:16:47.090
the Greek word, ploutidzo, describes wealth so great,
343
00:16:47.090 --> 00:16:49.940
it cannot be tabulated.
344
00:16:49.940 --> 00:16:54.940
It is abundant wealth, vast
wealth, extreme riches,
345
00:16:55.040 --> 00:16:59.540
incredible abundance,
magnificent opulence.
346
00:16:59.540 --> 00:17:01.970
It is extravagant lavishness,
347
00:17:01.970 --> 00:17:05.060
and it was the very word used by Plato
348
00:17:05.060 --> 00:17:08.630
to say no one was richer than
the legendary King Midas.
349
00:17:08.630 --> 00:17:11.000
Everything he touched turned to gold.
350
00:17:11.930 --> 00:17:14.480
And now we find the same
word is used to describe
351
00:17:14.480 --> 00:17:17.540
what God's grace has done in us.
352
00:17:17.540 --> 00:17:19.220
Oh, that your eyes would be open,
353
00:17:19.220 --> 00:17:20.930
that you could see what is in you.
354
00:17:20.930 --> 00:17:23.900
You have in you wealth, so magnificent
355
00:17:23.900 --> 00:17:28.250
it can never be tabulated: lavishness,
356
00:17:28.250 --> 00:17:29.660
ornamentation.
357
00:17:29.660 --> 00:17:33.020
It is amazing what God has done inside you.
358
00:17:33.020 --> 00:17:36.860
He has inwardly adorned you by his grace
359
00:17:36.860 --> 00:17:39.110
and by the work of the Holy Spirit.
360
00:17:39.110 --> 00:17:43.100
But Paul goes on to say that
in everything, in every way,
361
00:17:43.100 --> 00:17:45.680
in every minuscule detail,
362
00:17:45.680 --> 00:17:48.990
you have been lavishly enriched by him.
363
00:17:48.990 --> 00:17:52.620
Paul says, in all utterance
and in all knowledge,
364
00:17:52.620 --> 00:17:56.250
and now he begins to describe
specific ornamentation
365
00:17:56.250 --> 00:17:57.810
that is in us.
366
00:17:57.810 --> 00:18:01.080
He mentions utterance and knowledge.
367
00:18:01.080 --> 00:18:04.890 line:15%
The word utterance is the Greek word logos or a form of it.
368
00:18:04.890 --> 00:18:06.780
It describes all kinds of speech.
369
00:18:06.780 --> 00:18:11.780
And here it refers to the vocal gifts of the Holy Spirit.
370
00:18:12.150 --> 00:18:14.460
You say, Well, what are the vocal gifts of the Holy Spirit?
371
00:18:14.460 --> 00:18:17.250
Well, you can read about them in 1 Corinthians 12,
372
00:18:17.250 --> 00:18:20.610
but it would include the
word of knowledge, the word
373
00:18:20.610 --> 00:18:24.480
of wisdom, prophecy, tongues
and interpretation of tongues.
374
00:18:24.480 --> 00:18:27.720
These are vocal gifts of the Holy Spirit.
375
00:18:27.720 --> 00:18:30.510
And Paul said to the Corinthians, you have been lavishly
376
00:18:30.510 --> 00:18:33.900
ornamented, lavishly embellished internally
377
00:18:33.900 --> 00:18:37.080
with these amazing vocal
gifts of the Holy Spirit.
378
00:18:37.080 --> 00:18:39.510
And then he adds - and in all knowledge.
379
00:18:39.510 --> 00:18:42.330 line:15%
The word knowledge, is a form of the Greek word, gnosis.
380
00:18:42.330 --> 00:18:44.430
This word gnosis describes knowledge,
381
00:18:44.430 --> 00:18:48.210
but in this verse, it specifically refers to the gifts
382
00:18:48.210 --> 00:18:50.760
of the Holy Spirit that
are knowledge gifts.
383
00:18:50.760 --> 00:18:54.120
This would include the word of wisdom, the word
384
00:18:54.120 --> 00:18:56.760
of knowledge, prophecy, discerning of spirits.
385
00:18:56.760 --> 00:19:00.030
And by the way, there's some overlap between the vocal gifts
386
00:19:00.030 --> 00:19:01.650
and the knowledge gifts.
387
00:19:01.650 --> 00:19:05.160
But Paul says, the Corinthian church was internally
388
00:19:05.160 --> 00:19:07.710
adorned with these gifts.
389
00:19:07.710 --> 00:19:09.030
And it's not just true of them
390
00:19:09.030 --> 00:19:11.310
because God is not a respecter of persons.
391
00:19:11.310 --> 00:19:13.260
What he does for one of his children, he does
392
00:19:13.260 --> 00:19:14.850
for all of his children.
393
00:19:14.850 --> 00:19:17.610
You have the same gifts inside you.
394
00:19:17.610 --> 00:19:20.550
You may have never experienced
them, but they are there.
395
00:19:20.550 --> 00:19:23.970
They are in you because you are the temple
396
00:19:23.970 --> 00:19:25.710
of the Holy Spirit. My friend,
397
00:19:25.710 --> 00:19:29.700
the Holy Spirit is the possessor of all of those gifts.
398
00:19:29.700 --> 00:19:33.330
And if he's in you, then all
of those gifts are inside you.
399
00:19:33.330 --> 00:19:36.690
It is amazing what is inside you.
400
00:19:36.690 --> 00:19:40.530
But then Paul says in verse 6: Even as the testimony
401
00:19:40.530 --> 00:19:44.700
of Christ was confirmed in you -
402
00:19:44.700 --> 00:19:48.120 line:15%
the word confirmed is a Greek word bebaioo, which means
403
00:19:48.120 --> 00:19:51.630
to authenticate, to verify, to establish
404
00:19:51.630 --> 00:19:53.730
or to make concrete.
405
00:19:53.730 --> 00:19:54.930
And here's what we find out.
406
00:19:56.035 --> 00:19:58.080
When the gifts of the
Holy Spirit are in you
407
00:19:58.080 --> 00:20:02.340
and they are operating, they
establish in you the testimony
408
00:20:02.340 --> 00:20:03.720
of Christ.
409
00:20:03.720 --> 00:20:05.400
Let me give you an illustration.
410
00:20:05.400 --> 00:20:07.770
When I was growing up in
my denominational church,
411
00:20:07.770 --> 00:20:09.900
I never saw anyone healed.
412
00:20:09.900 --> 00:20:12.060
When I read about the
healing works of Jesus
413
00:20:12.060 --> 00:20:14.520
and the gospels, to me
it was like a fairytale
414
00:20:14.520 --> 00:20:16.530
because I had never seen that before.
415
00:20:16.530 --> 00:20:18.030
It was just a fairytale.
416
00:20:18.030 --> 00:20:19.530
It was nearly something to fiction
417
00:20:19.530 --> 00:20:21.420
that happened 2000 years ago.
418
00:20:21.420 --> 00:20:25.080
But when I saw the gift of
healing operate right in front
419
00:20:25.080 --> 00:20:28.860
of me, suddenly the Jesus
of the Gospels stepped off
420
00:20:28.860 --> 00:20:30.630
of those pages into my life.
421
00:20:30.630 --> 00:20:32.340
I saw Jesus.
422
00:20:32.340 --> 00:20:35.010
And it authenticated to me the testimony
423
00:20:35.010 --> 00:20:39.090
that Jesus Christ is a healer: my friend,
424
00:20:39.090 --> 00:20:40.800
the gifts of the Holy Spirit are essential
425
00:20:40.800 --> 00:20:44.700
because they bring to us
the reality of Jesus Christ.
426
00:20:44.700 --> 00:20:47.530
Jesus being a prophet, I never understood that. To me
427
00:20:47.530 --> 00:20:49.780
it was just something that happened 2000 years ago
428
00:20:49.780 --> 00:20:53.320
until I experienced the gift of prophecy.
429
00:20:53.320 --> 00:20:56.890
And when I saw the gift of prophecy in operation, suddenly
430
00:20:56.890 --> 00:21:00.220
who Jesus is as a prophet became a reality to me
431
00:21:00.220 --> 00:21:03.460
because I experienced the gift of prophecy.
432
00:21:03.460 --> 00:21:07.210
This is why we must have the
gifts of the Holy Spirit.
433
00:21:07.210 --> 00:21:10.180
And Paul says in this verse
that when they operate in us
434
00:21:10.180 --> 00:21:13.450
and through us, it really
brings to us, it authenticates
435
00:21:13.450 --> 00:21:16.930
to us the testimony of who Jesus is.
436
00:21:16.930 --> 00:21:20.050
And I know that you want to
know Jesus better and better,
437
00:21:20.050 --> 00:21:22.030
but then he says in verse 7 - So that you come
438
00:21:22.030 --> 00:21:24.310
behind in no gift waiting for the coming
439
00:21:24.310 --> 00:21:26.980
of our Lord Jesus Christ - verse 8 -
440
00:21:26.980 --> 00:21:30.760
who shall confirm you unto the end.
441
00:21:30.760 --> 00:21:34.060 line:15%
The word end, is a form of the Greek word telos.
442
00:21:34.060 --> 00:21:37.540
It describes maturity.
It describes completion.
443
00:21:37.540 --> 00:21:40.660
It also describes the climax of an event.
444
00:21:40.660 --> 00:21:43.450
And here Paul tells us
it is God's intention
445
00:21:43.450 --> 00:21:47.620
for these lavish spiritual
embellishments, the gifts
446
00:21:47.620 --> 00:21:51.370
of the Holy Spirit to operate
in us, to authenticate to us
447
00:21:51.370 --> 00:21:55.870
who Jesus is, to bring to us
a new understanding of Jesus,
448
00:21:55.870 --> 00:21:59.020
to bring us - telos - into a place of maturity,
449
00:21:59.020 --> 00:22:00.430
and that these gifts are
450
00:22:00.430 --> 00:22:03.100
to operate in the church
all the way to the end,
451
00:22:03.100 --> 00:22:04.960
to the climax of the church age.
452
00:22:04.960 --> 00:22:08.110
He says that until the coming
453
00:22:08.110 --> 00:22:11.980
of the Lord Jesus Christ - that's how long the gifts
454
00:22:11.980 --> 00:22:14.200
of the Holy Spirit are to operate in the church
455
00:22:14.200 --> 00:22:15.430
and inside you.
456
00:22:15.430 --> 00:22:18.280
But all of this began in verse 4,
457
00:22:18.280 --> 00:22:21.820
when Paul describes the grace
of God, the marvelous touch
458
00:22:21.820 --> 00:22:25.960
of Jesus Christ, that lavishly internally
459
00:22:25.960 --> 00:22:27.580
embellished us.
460
00:22:27.580 --> 00:22:31.900
We are filled with spiritual
ornamentation, my friend.
461
00:22:31.900 --> 00:22:36.850
We are the temple of the Holy
Spirit, a walking sanctuary.
462
00:22:36.850 --> 00:22:40.030
That is who I am, and that is who you are.
463
00:22:40.030 --> 00:22:43.780
Quit putting yourself down. You need to embrace who you are.
464
00:22:43.780 --> 00:22:46.450
You my friend, are the temple of the Holy Spirit.
465
00:22:46.450 --> 00:22:49.810
And that is why Paul said in 1 Corinthians 6:19,
466
00:22:49.810 --> 00:22:51.760
What? Have you not gotten it yet?
467
00:22:51.760 --> 00:22:55.570
Do you not understand yet that your body,
468
00:22:55.570 --> 00:22:58.900
your very human body - just touch it -
469
00:22:58.900 --> 00:23:02.440
your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost
470
00:23:02.440 --> 00:23:06.640
which you have in you, which you hold,
471
00:23:06.640 --> 00:23:07.840
you have you possess.
472
00:23:07.840 --> 00:23:12.610
It came from God, and you're not your own.
473
00:23:12.610 --> 00:23:16.540
And that's why we need to
behave like holy people.
474
00:23:16.540 --> 00:23:18.700
That's what I'm gonna talk to
you about in the next program.
475
00:23:18.700 --> 00:23:20.320
Then I'll be back in just a moment,
476
00:23:20.320 --> 00:23:22.210
and I want to pray for you.
477
00:23:22.210 --> 00:23:23.380
Do you really know
478
00:23:23.380 --> 00:23:25.900
what the Bible means when
it says You are the temple
479
00:23:25.900 --> 00:23:28.660
of the Holy Spirit? My friend,
480
00:23:28.660 --> 00:23:32.380
you really are the dwelling place for the spirit of God,
481
00:23:32.380 --> 00:23:33.520
and that is amazing
482
00:23:33.520 --> 00:23:37.000
and powerful. In this fabulous 10-part series,
483
00:23:37.000 --> 00:23:39.460

Rick Renner unwraps all the intricacies of
485
00:23:41.860 --> 00:23:43.930
what the Bible means when it declares
486
00:23:43.930 --> 00:23:46.760
that you are the temple
of the Holy Spirit.
487
00:23:46.760 --> 00:23:49.850
God put forth his best work
when you were born again,
488
00:23:49.850 --> 00:23:53.360
and then God placed his greatest treasure deep inside you.

You are filled with the riches of Christ.

00:25:08.210 --> 00:25:09.770
temple of the Holy Spirit - my friend -
518
00:25:09.770 --> 00:25:12.170
you are not who you used to be.
519
00:25:12.170 --> 00:25:15.170
God's grace touched you
and transformed you,
520
00:25:15.170 --> 00:25:18.440
and today you are a walking sanctuary.
521
00:25:18.440 --> 00:25:22.910
In fact, just say that - I am a walking sanctuary.
522
00:25:22.910 --> 00:25:27.740
That is who you are because
the Holy Spirit lives in you.
523
00:25:27.740 --> 00:25:30.740

We walk through all the verses
in the Holy Spirit that deals
527
00:25:38.840 --> 00:25:42.590
with what God did in us when we got saved:
528
00:25:42.590 --> 00:25:45.410
the Holy Spirit moved inside my friends.
529
00:25:45.410 --> 00:25:48.650
We have in us the gift of the Holy Spirit,
530
00:25:48.650 --> 00:25:51.200
and we really are a walking sanctuary.
531
00:25:51.200 --> 00:25:54.590

comes with a study guide.

540
00:26:13.850 --> 00:26:16.160
But let me pray for you.
Father, I am so blessed
541
00:26:16.160 --> 00:26:17.750
that today we could be together
542
00:26:17.750 --> 00:26:21.470
and that we could see
how you have lavishly
543
00:26:21.470 --> 00:26:23.060
embellished us on the inside.
544
00:26:23.060 --> 00:26:25.610
Thank you, Lord, that our
spiritual interiors are filled
545
00:26:25.610 --> 00:26:28.670
with power and grace and glory.
546
00:26:28.670 --> 00:26:31.640
Lord, help us to embrace
who you have made us to be
547
00:26:31.640 --> 00:26:34.940
and to walk in a way that is worthy of it.
548
00:26:34.940 --> 00:26:38.060
In Jesus' name - Amen.
549
00:26:38.060 --> 00:26:40.430
Well, I can hardly wait
to get back here tomorrow.
550
00:26:40.430 --> 00:26:43.470
We're going to continue, but until then, remember
551
00:26:43.470 --> 00:26:44.753
Ecclesiastes 8:4,
552
00:26:44.753 --> 00:26:48.570
"Where the word of a king is there is power.
553
00:26:48.570 --> 00:26:50.850
If you've never received
Jesus as your Savior
554
00:26:50.850 --> 00:26:55.230
and Lord, now is the time for
you to experience a new life
555
00:26:55.230 --> 00:26:57.390
Jesus has to give you.
556
00:26:57.390 --> 00:27:02.010
Pray this prayer with me right now: Lord, I repent
557
00:27:02.010 --> 00:27:05.490
of my sin and receive you as my Savior
558
00:27:05.490 --> 00:27:08.460
and Lord. Wash away my sin
559
00:27:08.460 --> 00:27:11.490
and make me completely new.
560
00:27:11.490 --> 00:27:15.270
I thank you that my sin is removed
561
00:27:15.270 --> 00:27:20.270
and Satan no longer has any
right to lay claim on me.
562
00:27:20.820 --> 00:27:24.810
I faithfully promise that
I will serve you as my Lord
563
00:27:24.810 --> 00:27:26.460
for the rest of my life.
564
00:27:27.360 --> 00:27:31.950
