00:00:00.870 --> 00:00:03.390
This program is made possible by the giving
2
00:00:03.390 --> 00:00:07.350
of the God called partners
of Renner Ministries.
3
00:00:07.350 --> 00:00:09.420
Hey friends, this is Rick Renner
4
00:00:09.420 --> 00:00:12.390
and today I'm beginning a brand new series
5
00:00:12.390 --> 00:00:14.610
that I have never taught before
6
00:00:14.610 --> 00:00:17.070
and I'm so excited that
I can bring it to you.
7
00:00:17.070 --> 00:00:20.580
And thank you for letting me
come right into your space.
8
00:00:20.580 --> 00:00:23.190
We're going to dive into the Bible to see
9
00:00:23.190 --> 00:00:27.210
what the Bible means when it tells us to walk in the spirit.
10
00:00:27.210 --> 00:00:29.430
I know that you wanna walk in the spirit.
11
00:00:29.430 --> 00:00:31.290
You know, when I was a
young man attending church,
12
00:00:31.290 --> 00:00:33.960
usually when we were
doing something wrong,
13
00:00:33.960 --> 00:00:36.240
the pastor would say,
Hey you guys, you need
14
00:00:36.240 --> 00:00:37.860
to walk in the spirit.
15
00:00:37.860 --> 00:00:40.380
And I remember thinking,
what does that mean?
16
00:00:40.380 --> 00:00:41.640
How do you do it?
17
00:00:41.640 --> 00:00:44.250
Well, today and all this week, we're going
18
00:00:44.250 --> 00:00:48.150
to begin examining what it
means to walk in the spirit.
19
00:00:48.150 --> 00:00:50.640
I know that you want to walk in the spirit
20
00:00:50.640 --> 00:00:51.960
and you want to please the Lord.
21
00:00:51.960 --> 00:00:54.570
So that's what we're
going to be looking at,
22
00:00:54.570 --> 00:00:56.280
and we're offering you
the brand new series,
23
00:00:56.280 --> 00:01:00.120
which is called, The Works of the Flesh Vs the Fruit
24
00:01:00.120 --> 00:01:01.650
of the Spirit.
25
00:01:01.650 --> 00:01:05.100
The subtitle says You choose
Death Permeated Works,
26
00:01:05.100 --> 00:01:08.580
or Supernatural Life-Giving Fruit.
27
00:01:08.580 --> 00:01:10.740
This is going to be so rich
28
00:01:10.740 --> 00:01:12.420
and I want you to order your copy,
29
00:01:12.420 --> 00:01:15.540
which you can order at renner.org or give us a call
30
00:01:15.540 --> 00:01:18.450
and be sure to order this
study guide at the same time.
31
00:01:18.450 --> 00:01:20.220
And right now on our website,
32
00:01:20.220 --> 00:01:24.660
we're offering you my daily
devotionals called Sparkling
33
00:01:24.660 --> 00:01:28.260
Gems from the Greek Vol.I, Vol.II.
34
00:01:28.260 --> 00:01:29.400
In each of these,
35
00:01:29.400 --> 00:01:33.450
there are 1000 Greek words studies.
36
00:01:33.450 --> 00:01:36.750
If you enjoy all the Greek
that I share in my programs,
37
00:01:36.750 --> 00:01:39.240
you will just devour these books.
38
00:01:39.240 --> 00:01:41.640
So be sure to order yours today.
39
00:01:41.640 --> 00:01:44.070
It's something that
you'll go back to again
40
00:01:44.070 --> 00:01:45.600
and again and again.
41
00:01:45.600 --> 00:01:46.890
It's a daily devotional.
42
00:01:46.890 --> 00:01:48.780
You don't have to read it all at once.
43
00:01:48.780 --> 00:01:50.460
But in the back of both of these books,
44
00:01:50.460 --> 00:01:53.670
there is a full listing
of all the Greek words so
45
00:01:53.670 --> 00:01:54.900
that you can also use it
46
00:01:54.900 --> 00:01:57.480
as a research tool in your study life.
47
00:01:57.480 --> 00:01:58.980
So order yours today
48
00:01:58.980 --> 00:02:00.930
and remember that when
you become a partner
49
00:02:00.930 --> 00:02:03.780
with our ministry, we're
going to send you two books
50
00:02:03.780 --> 00:02:04.920
as our way of saying welcome
51
00:02:04.920 --> 00:02:07.650
to the Partner family:
Denise's book called The Gift
52
00:02:07.650 --> 00:02:11.340
of Forgiveness, and my book called Life in the Combat Zone.
53
00:02:11.340 --> 00:02:14.310
We always give these two books to anyone
54
00:02:14.310 --> 00:02:16.650
who becomes a partner with our ministry.
55
00:02:16.650 --> 00:02:20.340
And please, if you have a
prayer need, let us know
56
00:02:20.340 --> 00:02:21.510
how to pray for you.
57
00:02:21.510 --> 00:02:23.910
We're waiting for the
phone to ring right now
58
00:02:23.910 --> 00:02:27.480
or for your email to show up
in our inbox so we can begin
59
00:02:27.480 --> 00:02:31.140
to release our faith for
God to move in your life.
60
00:02:31.140 --> 00:02:36.000
So let us hear from you, but
I'll be back in just a moment.
61
00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:39.210
Get ready for a teaching
that feeds your spirit
62
00:02:39.210 --> 00:02:43.350
and your mind where the word
is the anchor in uncertain
63
00:02:43.350 --> 00:02:48.030
times and doctrine
doesn't bend to culture.
64
00:02:48.030 --> 00:02:49.470
We keep it simple,
65
00:02:49.470 --> 00:02:54.030
but dive deep revealing a
truth that strengthens us,
66
00:02:54.900 --> 00:02:56.820
a love that emboldens,
67
00:02:57.930 --> 00:02:59.680
and a mission that touches the
68
00:02:59.680 --> 00:03:03.280
world. Let's join
69
00:03:03.280 --> 00:03:06.880
Rick Renner. Today,
70
00:03:06.880 --> 00:03:10.330
we're going to go to Galatians 5:15
71
00:03:10.330 --> 00:03:13.030
and begin the brand new
series about the works
72
00:03:13.030 --> 00:03:16.390
of the flesh verses the
fruit of the spirit.
73
00:03:16.390 --> 00:03:18.790
But I wanna ask you; have you ever had strife
74
00:03:18.790 --> 00:03:22.060
and contention in a relationship maybe with a spouse
75
00:03:22.060 --> 00:03:25.420
or with a sibling, maybe with
a child or a fellow worker?
76
00:03:25.420 --> 00:03:28.600
You know, it can be pretty
wounding when you get into a
77
00:03:28.600 --> 00:03:30.490
contentious relationship
78
00:03:30.490 --> 00:03:34.270
and that is not walking in the spirit.
79
00:03:34.270 --> 00:03:38.350
Strife and contention is a
very low level manifestation
80
00:03:38.350 --> 00:03:39.610
of the flesh,
81
00:03:39.610 --> 00:03:41.800
and we have to choose whether we're going
82
00:03:41.800 --> 00:03:45.040
to function on the low
road or the high road.
83
00:03:45.040 --> 00:03:46.600
And that's what Paul begins
84
00:03:46.600 --> 00:03:50.740
by asking us in Galatians 5:
85
00:03:50.740 --> 00:03:52.300
15, what do you want?
86
00:03:52.300 --> 00:03:55.750
What do you choose? And here's
what he says; But if you bite
87
00:03:55.750 --> 00:03:59.080
and devour one another, take heed
88
00:03:59.080 --> 00:04:01.990
that you be not consumed one of another.
89
00:04:01.990 --> 00:04:04.390
What does that mean, bite and devour?
90
00:04:04.390 --> 00:04:07.330 line:15%
Well, the word bite is the Greek word dakno.
91
00:04:07.330 --> 00:04:11.230
And listen to this, it
literally means to bite
92
00:04:11.230 --> 00:04:13.210
with the teeth.
93
00:04:13.210 --> 00:04:15.100
Ugh, that sounds so unpleasant,
94
00:04:15.100 --> 00:04:19.090
but figuratively, it
means to wound with words
95
00:04:19.090 --> 00:04:24.090
or to lacerate and rend with insults and reproaches.
96
00:04:24.460 --> 00:04:26.920
You know, very often when
you're in a contentious strife
97
00:04:26.920 --> 00:04:30.460
filled conversation,
words get out of control
98
00:04:30.460 --> 00:04:32.710
and wounding words are spoken
99
00:04:32.710 --> 00:04:35.500
that you wish you could
retract, but it's too late.
100
00:04:35.500 --> 00:04:37.600
You've already lacerated someone.
101
00:04:37.600 --> 00:04:39.910
You've already rendered
someone with your words,
102
00:04:39.910 --> 00:04:43.210
with your insults and
with your reproaches.
103
00:04:43.210 --> 00:04:46.780
That's what happens when
the flesh is in control.
104
00:04:46.780 --> 00:04:49.306
In fact, Paul goes on to
say, but if you bite it
105
00:04:49.306 --> 00:04:52.150
and devour one another.
106
00:04:52.150 --> 00:04:55.510 line:15%
The word devour is a compound of two Greek words:
107
00:04:55.510 --> 00:04:58.030
the word kata and the word esthio.
108
00:04:58.030 --> 00:05:01.600
The word kata means down, and esthio means to eat
109
00:05:01.600 --> 00:05:03.130
or to consume.
110
00:05:03.130 --> 00:05:05.440
And when you compound
the two words together,
111
00:05:05.440 --> 00:05:09.910
it means - listen - to eat, to devour, to gulp,
112
00:05:09.910 --> 00:05:12.850
and to swallow completely.
113
00:05:12.850 --> 00:05:16.420
Have you ever been
swallowed in a conversation
114
00:05:16.420 --> 00:05:18.400
or you feel you just chewed somebody up
115
00:05:18.400 --> 00:05:19.870
and swallowed them down?
116
00:05:19.870 --> 00:05:23.500
That's what the flesh wants
to do. It produces death.
117
00:05:23.500 --> 00:05:26.080
It does not produce life.
118
00:05:26.080 --> 00:05:28.690
In fact, Paul goes on to say, take heed
119
00:05:28.690 --> 00:05:31.120 line:15%
that you be not consumed one of another.
120
00:05:31.120 --> 00:05:34.450 line:15%
The word, take heed, in Greek is blepete, the direct form
121
00:05:34.450 --> 00:05:35.770
of the word blepo.
122
00:05:35.770 --> 00:05:38.230
It was intended to jolt the listeners.
123
00:05:38.230 --> 00:05:41.770
It means listen, pay attention, beware.
124
00:05:41.770 --> 00:05:43.450
Hey, really pay attention.
125
00:05:43.450 --> 00:05:46.210
You need to understand that
if you can continue this,
126
00:05:46.210 --> 00:05:49.300
you will consume one another.
127
00:05:49.300 --> 00:05:51.790 line:15%
The word consume the Greek
word analisko, which means
128
00:05:51.790 --> 00:05:56.350
to be totally consumed, to be
completely eaten up, destroyed
129
00:05:56.350 --> 00:05:57.890
or devoured.
130
00:05:57.890 --> 00:06:01.910
And that's what the flesh
will do if you let the flesh
131
00:06:01.910 --> 00:06:03.200
have its way.
132
00:06:03.200 --> 00:06:05.330
But then you come to Galatians 5:
133
00:06:05.330 --> 00:06:08.720
16, where Paul gives us the alternative.
134
00:06:08.720 --> 00:06:12.890
And in Galatians 5:16, Paul says; This
135
00:06:12.890 --> 00:06:16.520
I say then, walk in the spirit
136
00:06:16.520 --> 00:06:19.880
and you shall not fulfill
the lust of the flesh.
137
00:06:19.880 --> 00:06:22.610
So now we have an alternative; we can make a choice;
138
00:06:22.610 --> 00:06:24.980
we can either bite and devour one another
139
00:06:24.980 --> 00:06:26.270
and consume one another,
140
00:06:26.270 --> 00:06:30.380
or we can choose to walk in the spirit.
141
00:06:30.380 --> 00:06:32.870
And in verse 16, when Paul says, This,
142
00:06:32.870 --> 00:06:35.840
eyes say in Greek it is very emphatic.
143
00:06:35.840 --> 00:06:38.210 line:15%
It says lego de. The word lego means -
144
00:06:38.210 --> 00:06:41.210
Now listen, I'm going to say something to you.
145
00:06:41.210 --> 00:06:45.080
The word de is categorical. It is emphatic.
146
00:06:45.080 --> 00:06:47.540
And in fact, you could translate it like this.
147
00:06:47.540 --> 00:06:52.070
I say categorically, I say emphatically,
148
00:06:52.070 --> 00:06:56.420
and now he's offering them another alternative; walk in the
149
00:06:56.420 --> 00:07:01.420
spirit and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.
150
00:07:01.430 --> 00:07:05.090
And when Paul says walk,
it is a compound word,
151
00:07:05.090 --> 00:07:07.520 line:15%
the Greek word peripateo. The word peri, means
152
00:07:07.520 --> 00:07:11.600
around; it describes something that is encircling.
153
00:07:11.600 --> 00:07:14.450 line:15%
The word pateo, is from pathos, which means to walk
154
00:07:14.450 --> 00:07:16.550
and it describes a path.
155
00:07:16.550 --> 00:07:18.830
But when you compound the
two words together, it means
156
00:07:18.830 --> 00:07:23.270
to walk around in one
general vicinity, to walk,
157
00:07:23.270 --> 00:07:27.470
to step, to stride, to
tread, to habitually, walk
158
00:07:27.470 --> 00:07:30.620
around in one general vicinity, and
159
00:07:30.620 --> 00:07:33.890
therefore it can even
be translated to live.
160
00:07:33.890 --> 00:07:37.940
You could translate this - live in the spirit.
161
00:07:37.940 --> 00:07:40.640
And actually that would
be a very good translation
162
00:07:40.640 --> 00:07:44.630
and it means we really
can live in the spirit.
163
00:07:44.630 --> 00:07:47.360
Most people wish they could
do it just once a week,
164
00:07:47.360 --> 00:07:49.940
but Paul says we can do it all the time.
165
00:07:49.940 --> 00:07:52.640
We can habitually walk in this area.
166
00:07:52.640 --> 00:07:54.740
It can be the realm
where we live, the realm
167
00:07:54.740 --> 00:07:56.690
where we function, the realm
168
00:07:56.690 --> 00:08:00.710
where we live our lives
controlled by the Holy Spirit.
169
00:08:00.710 --> 00:08:04.520
And my friend, I know that you want that. This person
170
00:08:04.520 --> 00:08:07.850
has walked in one region for so long
171
00:08:07.850 --> 00:08:11.180
that it has now become
his environment, his place
172
00:08:11.180 --> 00:08:15.560
of daily activity, this fear
that encircles his existence.
173
00:08:15.560 --> 00:08:17.840
And one expositor says this word walk,
174
00:08:17.840 --> 00:08:20.390
the Greek word peripateo, describes as a person
175
00:08:20.390 --> 00:08:22.850
that has walked on one trail so many times
176
00:08:22.850 --> 00:08:27.350
and for so long that now he
can nearly walk it blindfolded
177
00:08:27.350 --> 00:08:29.450
because he has walked it and walked it
178
00:08:29.450 --> 00:08:30.920
and walked it and walked it.
179
00:08:30.920 --> 00:08:33.650
It is the realm where he functions.
180
00:08:33.650 --> 00:08:35.750
And it reminds me of a time when Denise
181
00:08:35.750 --> 00:08:39.350
and I invited two people
to come see us in Moscow.
182
00:08:39.350 --> 00:08:41.990
Oh, we were so excited at
the thought of them coming,
183
00:08:41.990 --> 00:08:44.960
but the wife said to
me, Rick, you don't know
184
00:08:44.960 --> 00:08:46.460
that I've lost my eyesight.
185
00:08:46.460 --> 00:08:48.290
I can no longer see.
186
00:08:48.290 --> 00:08:51.980
She said in my home, I know
where all the furniture is,
187
00:08:51.980 --> 00:08:55.440
even though I cannot see, I
can walk here, I can there
188
00:08:55.440 --> 00:08:57.270
because I've memorized everything.
189
00:08:57.270 --> 00:09:00.300
I'm safe, I'm secure in my home even
190
00:09:00.300 --> 00:09:02.550
with no sight, I can walk.
191
00:09:02.550 --> 00:09:05.340
That really is a good description of this word
192
00:09:05.340 --> 00:09:07.470
Walk - the Greek word peripateo.
193
00:09:07.470 --> 00:09:09.930
You've walked in the spirit
and walked in the spirit
194
00:09:09.930 --> 00:09:12.795
and walked in the spirit that
now it has become a place
195
00:09:12.795 --> 00:09:15.210
where you're safe and you're secure.
196
00:09:15.210 --> 00:09:18.450
You comfortably, even
leisurely walk there.
197
00:09:18.450 --> 00:09:22.080
And therefore, sometimes
this word walk is translated
198
00:09:22.080 --> 00:09:25.050
by some expositors as the word stroll:
199
00:09:25.050 --> 00:09:27.660
to stroll in the spirit.
200
00:09:27.660 --> 00:09:30.360
And of course, strolling is
something that is leisurely
201
00:09:30.360 --> 00:09:31.920
and enjoyable.
202
00:09:31.920 --> 00:09:35.340
God wants us to enjoy
the walk in the spirit.
203
00:09:35.340 --> 00:09:37.290
That's exactly what it means.
204
00:09:37.290 --> 00:09:40.530
It means to take a stroll
or to leisurely walk.
205
00:09:40.530 --> 00:09:43.050
This is not a person
that is frustrated trying
206
00:09:43.050 --> 00:09:44.880
to walk in the spirit,
207
00:09:44.880 --> 00:09:48.360
but he has walked in the
spirit so habitually,
208
00:09:48.360 --> 00:09:52.110
now he can walk there in a restful way: unhurried, relaxed,
209
00:09:52.110 --> 00:09:53.490
peaceful, calm.
210
00:09:53.490 --> 00:09:56.550
It is the place of his existence
211
00:09:56.550 --> 00:09:59.160
and that is what God is calling me
212
00:09:59.160 --> 00:10:01.080
and you too.
213
00:10:01.080 --> 00:10:02.730
Again, most people would say,
214
00:10:02.730 --> 00:10:04.890
if I could just walk in
the spirit once in a while
215
00:10:04.890 --> 00:10:07.950
or maybe on Sunday when I go to church, stand in a good mood
216
00:10:07.950 --> 00:10:09.840
and not say anything strife full;
217
00:10:09.840 --> 00:10:13.500
but my friends, God has
something much higher for us.
218
00:10:13.500 --> 00:10:17.670
God wants us to walk in
the spirit all the time.
219
00:10:17.670 --> 00:10:21.630
And in fact, Galatians 5:16 says this,
220
00:10:21.630 --> 00:10:25.230
I say then - which means I say this emphatically,
221
00:10:25.230 --> 00:10:30.210
I say this categorically -
walk regularly in the spirit
222
00:10:30.210 --> 00:10:34.470
and you shall not fulfill
the lust of the flesh.
223
00:10:34.470 --> 00:10:37.740
The two words, shall not, in
Greek are really important.
224
00:10:37.740 --> 00:10:39.930 line:15%
In Greek it is the word
'ou' and the word 'me'.
225
00:10:39.930 --> 00:10:42.300 line:15%
The word ou is an emphatic no.
226
00:10:42.300 --> 00:10:44.940
And the word, me, is a canceler. It is a negative.
227
00:10:44.940 --> 00:10:46.950
When you compound these
two words together,
228
00:10:46.950 --> 00:10:51.930
it means you will emphatically not - in no way - fulfill
229
00:10:51.930 --> 00:10:54.450
the lust of the flesh.
230
00:10:54.450 --> 00:10:58.170 line:15%
And the word fulfill is
the Greek word teleo.
231
00:10:58.170 --> 00:11:00.210
The word teleo always carries the idea
232
00:11:00.210 --> 00:11:02.100
of completing something,
233
00:11:02.100 --> 00:11:05.520
satisfying something gratifying something,
234
00:11:05.520 --> 00:11:07.950
bringing something to completion,
235
00:11:07.950 --> 00:11:10.710
which means if you're
walking in the spirit,
236
00:11:10.710 --> 00:11:15.240
you shall in no wise, no,
not never fulfill gratify
237
00:11:15.240 --> 00:11:20.240
or satisfy the lusts of the flesh.
238
00:11:20.430 --> 00:11:23.310
The word lust is the Greek word epi fia.
239
00:11:23.310 --> 00:11:26.250
It's a compound of two words.
The word epi means over.
240
00:11:26.250 --> 00:11:29.550
It is an intensifier in this word.
241
00:11:29.550 --> 00:11:31.650
The word Mia is from the word TMAs.
242
00:11:31.650 --> 00:11:34.320
The word TMAs describes passionate desire.
243
00:11:34.320 --> 00:11:36.570
But when these two words
are compounded into one,
244
00:11:36.570 --> 00:11:40.560
the word epi, which means
over, and it is an intensifier,
245
00:11:40.560 --> 00:11:43.260
and the word humma, when
they're compounded together,
246
00:11:43.260 --> 00:11:45.480
they form the Greek word epit, theia,
247
00:11:45.480 --> 00:11:49.560
which pictures a desire, a craving,
248
00:11:49.560 --> 00:11:52.200
or a carnal longing of the flesh.
249
00:11:52.200 --> 00:11:55.720
And because of the intensifier
epi, it pictures one
250
00:11:55.720 --> 00:11:57.520
that is all bent over.
251
00:11:57.520 --> 00:11:59.770
He's yearning for something.
252
00:11:59.770 --> 00:12:04.480
He's pining for something almost
like a drug addict that is
253
00:12:04.480 --> 00:12:07.150
so bent on having his next fix.
254
00:12:07.150 --> 00:12:09.280
Everything in him is leaning toward it.
255
00:12:09.280 --> 00:12:11.590
He's bent over craving it.
256
00:12:11.590 --> 00:12:13.900
That is the word that is used here.
257
00:12:13.900 --> 00:12:17.140
And Paul talks about
the lust of the flesh.
258
00:12:17.140 --> 00:12:19.630
The word flesh is the Greek word sarcos,
259
00:12:19.630 --> 00:12:22.420
which describes the
flesh, the carnal nature
260
00:12:22.420 --> 00:12:25.210
or base fleshly instincts.
261
00:12:25.210 --> 00:12:28.840
And my friend, it simply
means the flesh has a will
262
00:12:28.840 --> 00:12:30.100
and a mind of its own.
263
00:12:30.100 --> 00:12:34.240
And if you let your flesh express itself,
264
00:12:34.240 --> 00:12:37.450
your flesh will be doubled
over to do what is wrong.
265
00:12:37.450 --> 00:12:40.450
Your flesh will crave that which is wrong.
266
00:12:40.450 --> 00:12:44.140
And you have to make a
decision whether you are going
267
00:12:44.140 --> 00:12:46.780
to let the spirit control
you or your flesh.
268
00:12:46.780 --> 00:12:49.420
This is the war of two realms.
269
00:12:49.420 --> 00:12:51.580
You're going to be
controlled by the spirit
270
00:12:51.580 --> 00:12:54.010
or you are going to be
controlled by the flesh.
271
00:12:54.010 --> 00:12:58.720
And Paul tells us, we have the
ability to make the choice.
272
00:12:58.720 --> 00:13:00.220
Now let me say it to you like this.
273
00:13:00.220 --> 00:13:01.420
We have the flesh
274
00:13:01.420 --> 00:13:03.220
and we have the spirit lying
275
00:13:03.220 --> 00:13:06.940
between these two is the soul or the mind.
276
00:13:06.940 --> 00:13:10.960
And with the mind, we
have to choose which part
277
00:13:10.960 --> 00:13:13.240
of us is going to dominate.
278
00:13:13.240 --> 00:13:16.750
If we choose to yield to
the flesh, then we're going
279
00:13:16.750 --> 00:13:19.360
to produce some really negative, death
280
00:13:19.360 --> 00:13:20.470
permeated works.
281
00:13:20.470 --> 00:13:23.440
If we choose to walk in the spirit,
282
00:13:23.440 --> 00:13:27.190
and it is a choice, we can move into a higher realm
283
00:13:27.190 --> 00:13:29.800
where we produce luscious fruit
284
00:13:29.800 --> 00:13:32.500
that produces godly things in our life.
285
00:13:32.500 --> 00:13:36.640
But we are the ones who choose. Lying between the flesh
286
00:13:36.640 --> 00:13:38.110
and the spirit is the soul.
287
00:13:38.110 --> 00:13:40.720
And the soul is the deciding factor.
288
00:13:40.720 --> 00:13:43.540
That's why we call Jesus Lord.
289
00:13:43.540 --> 00:13:46.840
We're submitting our
soul, our mind, our will,
290
00:13:46.840 --> 00:13:48.250
our emotions to Jesus.
291
00:13:48.250 --> 00:13:50.770
And when you call Jesus Lord,
292
00:13:50.770 --> 00:13:52.810
it means you're deciding
you're going to do
293
00:13:52.810 --> 00:13:55.480
what he tells you to
do and he commands you
294
00:13:55.480 --> 00:13:59.860
to make the choice to walk in the spirit.
295
00:13:59.860 --> 00:14:02.710
And because this word, walk,
is the Greek word peripateo,
296
00:14:02.710 --> 00:14:04.840
it doesn't mean walk in
the spirit once in a while
297
00:14:04.840 --> 00:14:06.700
or maybe on Sundays;
298
00:14:06.700 --> 00:14:10.960
It means regularly, habitually
as a manner of life,
299
00:14:10.960 --> 00:14:12.940
almost like one that is blindfolded.
300
00:14:12.940 --> 00:14:15.130
You've done it so often now you can do it
301
00:14:15.130 --> 00:14:16.300
without even thinking.
302
00:14:16.300 --> 00:14:19.030
It's become your realm of habitation.
303
00:14:19.030 --> 00:14:22.780
In fact, now you can leisurely
stroll in that place.
304
00:14:22.780 --> 00:14:26.830
That is the level that God is
calling all of us to not just
305
00:14:26.830 --> 00:14:27.880
to hit it once in a while,
306
00:14:27.880 --> 00:14:32.290
but every day to habitually
live in the spirit.
307
00:14:32.290 --> 00:14:33.490
And in fact, that word walk,
308
00:14:33.490 --> 00:14:36.040
the Greek word peripateo, can be translated -
309
00:14:36.040 --> 00:14:39.790
This I say then live in the spirit.
310
00:14:39.790 --> 00:14:42.340
That is God's goal for you,
311
00:14:42.340 --> 00:14:44.020
that you would live in that realm.
312
00:14:44.020 --> 00:14:46.690
And if you live in that realm, Paul says,
313
00:14:46.690 --> 00:14:51.620
you shall not in no way, no
wise, no, not never fulfill -
314
00:14:51.620 --> 00:14:53.840
and the word fulfill again, the Greek word teleo -
315
00:14:53.840 --> 00:14:57.380
you will not gratify, you will not satisfy, you will not
316
00:14:57.380 --> 00:15:00.560
fulfill the lust or the hankerings
317
00:15:00.560 --> 00:15:04.670
or the cravings of your
lower base instinct,
318
00:15:04.670 --> 00:15:06.710
carnal nature, the flesh.
319
00:15:06.710 --> 00:15:11.570
And in fact, the RIV of Galatians 5:16 would be this:
320
00:15:12.860 --> 00:15:15.080
Make the path of the spirit, the place
321
00:15:15.080 --> 00:15:17.930
where you habitually live and walk.
322
00:15:17.930 --> 00:15:21.770
Become so comfortable on this
spiritual path that you learn
323
00:15:21.770 --> 00:15:25.880
to leisurely and peacefully
stroll along in that realm.
324
00:15:25.880 --> 00:15:29.330
Living your life in this
spirit realm is the best way
325
00:15:29.330 --> 00:15:32.570
to guarantee you will not allow the yearnings of your flesh
326
00:15:32.570 --> 00:15:35.990
to creep out and fulfill themselves.
327
00:15:36.830 --> 00:15:38.450
That's so good. I'm gonna read it to you again.
328
00:15:38.450 --> 00:15:42.260
Listen to this. Make the path of the spirit the place
329
00:15:42.260 --> 00:15:44.450
where you habitually live and walk.
330
00:15:44.450 --> 00:15:48.200
Become so comfortable on this
spiritual path that you learn
331
00:15:48.200 --> 00:15:52.460
to leisurely and peacefully
stroll along in that realm.
332
00:15:52.460 --> 00:15:56.150
Living your life in this
spirit realm is the best way
333
00:15:56.150 --> 00:15:59.450
to guarantee that you will
not allow the yearning
334
00:15:59.450 --> 00:16:04.250
of your flesh to creep out
and to fulfill themselves.
335
00:16:04.250 --> 00:16:07.610
That's really what Galatians 5:16 means.
336
00:16:07.610 --> 00:16:11.570
But then when you get to Galatians 5:17,
337
00:16:11.570 --> 00:16:15.560
the apostle Paul tells us
there is a war taking place
338
00:16:15.560 --> 00:16:17.570
between your spirit and your flesh.
339
00:16:17.570 --> 00:16:20.330 line:15%
Listen to what he says; For the flesh, lusteth,
340
00:16:20.330 --> 00:16:25.100
against the spirit and the spirit against the flesh.
341
00:16:25.100 --> 00:16:27.230
And these are contrary,
the one to the other so
342
00:16:27.230 --> 00:16:30.260
that you cannot do the
things that you would.
343
00:16:30.260 --> 00:16:33.560
Well what are the things that
you would do if you could?
344
00:16:33.560 --> 00:16:37.490
If you could, you'd be kind all the time; if you could
345
00:16:37.490 --> 00:16:40.370
you'd never say a harsh word; if you could,
346
00:16:40.370 --> 00:16:42.530
people would think that you were compassionate.
347
00:16:42.530 --> 00:16:45.680
If you could, you would be a blessing all the time.
348
00:16:45.680 --> 00:16:47.840
That's what you would do if you could.
349
00:16:47.840 --> 00:16:51.110
The problem is your flesh
keeps expressing itself.
350
00:16:51.110 --> 00:16:55.130
And Paul says, if you can
get the flash out of the way,
351
00:16:55.130 --> 00:16:57.290
you can be what you want to be.
352
00:16:57.290 --> 00:16:58.880
Listen to what he says.
353
00:16:58.880 --> 00:17:02.270
For the flash lusteth against the spirit.
354
00:17:02.270 --> 00:17:05.300 line:15%
The word flesh is again the Greek word, sarkos,
355
00:17:05.300 --> 00:17:07.220
which describes flesh.
356
00:17:07.220 --> 00:17:12.170
It describes the carnal nature
or base fleshly instincts.
357
00:17:12.170 --> 00:17:15.140 line:15%
The word lust is again is the Greek word, epithumia.
358
00:17:15.140 --> 00:17:16.700
It's a compound of those two words.
359
00:17:16.700 --> 00:17:18.560
The word epi, which is an intensifier.
360
00:17:18.560 --> 00:17:20.600
It means over the word thuma,
361
00:17:20.600 --> 00:17:22.460
which describes passionate desires.
362
00:17:22.460 --> 00:17:24.380
When you compound the two words together,
363
00:17:24.380 --> 00:17:28.640
it describes the flesh, yearning, hankering, doubled over,
364
00:17:28.640 --> 00:17:31.580
bent over wanting to express itself.
365
00:17:31.580 --> 00:17:36.580
And Paul says, the flesh lusts against the spirit.
366
00:17:36.860 --> 00:17:40.610
The spirit in Greek means
the things of the spirit.
367
00:17:40.610 --> 00:17:42.650
But the word against is a Greek word kata.
368
00:17:42.650 --> 00:17:46.550
And the word kata describes
something that is coming down,
369
00:17:46.550 --> 00:17:50.430
something that is against,
something wants to conquer,
370
00:17:50.430 --> 00:17:55.230
to dominate or to squash, which means the moment you begin
371
00:17:55.230 --> 00:17:59.850
to walk in the spirit,
your flesh will wage war.
372
00:17:59.850 --> 00:18:04.050
Your flesh will say, no, I'm
not yielding my authority.
373
00:18:04.050 --> 00:18:07.350
Your flesh will say, no,
I'm not yielding my place
374
00:18:07.350 --> 00:18:09.540
of supremacy in this person's life.
375
00:18:09.540 --> 00:18:13.260
And your flesh will declare
war against the spirit,
376
00:18:13.260 --> 00:18:16.710
attempting to squash it, to
come down on it, attempting
377
00:18:16.710 --> 00:18:18.600
to conquer it and to dominate it.
378
00:18:18.600 --> 00:18:21.960
And the apostle Paul warns
us of this in this verse.
379
00:18:21.960 --> 00:18:23.190
He says, for the flesh,
380
00:18:23.190 --> 00:18:27.300
lusteth against; it is a dominating force against: the Greek
381
00:18:27.300 --> 00:18:29.790
says - the things of the spirit.
382
00:18:29.790 --> 00:18:31.230
And then he continues to say,
383
00:18:31.230 --> 00:18:34.830
and the spirit against the flesh.
384
00:18:34.830 --> 00:18:36.870
The Greek literally says,
385
00:18:36.870 --> 00:18:41.370
and categorically the spirit against the things
386
00:18:41.370 --> 00:18:43.680
of the flesh. The spirit of God
387
00:18:43.680 --> 00:18:47.310
and your human spirit
is against the operation
388
00:18:47.310 --> 00:18:49.050
of your flesh.
389
00:18:49.050 --> 00:18:52.200
The spirit in you: the Holy Spirit in you working
390
00:18:52.200 --> 00:18:55.080
through your human spirit
wants to rise to a place
391
00:18:55.080 --> 00:18:58.920
of dominance and supremacy in your life.
392
00:18:58.920 --> 00:19:02.550
Your spirit which is filled
with the Holy Spirit wants
393
00:19:02.550 --> 00:19:04.050
to produce the life of God
394
00:19:04.050 --> 00:19:06.090
and the character of Christ through you.
395
00:19:06.090 --> 00:19:09.450
And your spirit, which is
inhabited by the Holy Spirit,
396
00:19:09.450 --> 00:19:13.110
is against your flesh bringing its damage
397
00:19:13.110 --> 00:19:14.730
and destruction into your life
398
00:19:14.730 --> 00:19:17.760
and into the lives of
those that are around you.
399
00:19:17.760 --> 00:19:21.030
And that's why the verse goes
on to say - For the flesh,
400
00:19:21.030 --> 00:19:23.070
lusts against the spirit
401
00:19:23.070 --> 00:19:26.100
and the spirit against the flesh. The word against, again,
402
00:19:26.100 --> 00:19:28.980
the Greek word kata: even the spirit in us wants
403
00:19:28.980 --> 00:19:32.850
to bring the flesh under
control and dominate it.
404
00:19:32.850 --> 00:19:34.307
And then he says,
405
00:19:34.307 --> 00:19:38.460
and these are contrary, the one
406
00:19:38.460 --> 00:19:40.843 line:15%
to the other. The word contrary in Greek
407
00:19:40.843 --> 00:19:42.693 line:15%
is the word, antikeimai.
408
00:19:42.693 --> 00:19:45.510 line:15%
And listen to this, it's
a compound of two words.
409
00:19:45.510 --> 00:19:49.290
The word anti, means against:
the word keimai, means to set.
410
00:19:49.290 --> 00:19:51.330
But when you compound the
two words together, it means
411
00:19:51.330 --> 00:19:55.320
to set in opposition against. So the spirit
412
00:19:55.320 --> 00:19:59.160
and the flesh, they are in opposition to each other.
413
00:19:59.160 --> 00:20:02.310
It means to strategically oppose:
414
00:20:02.310 --> 00:20:04.860
to take a stand against:
415
00:20:04.860 --> 00:20:08.670
to completely be unreconcilable with each other.
416
00:20:08.670 --> 00:20:12.390
Like two enemies on opposite sides of a war,
417
00:20:12.390 --> 00:20:15.450
it depicts an all out war.
418
00:20:15.450 --> 00:20:18.930
Or just imagine two army tanks
butted up against each other
419
00:20:18.930 --> 00:20:23.820
with their cannons focused on
each other ready to explode.
420
00:20:23.820 --> 00:20:26.610
It is a conflict between the flesh
421
00:20:26.610 --> 00:20:31.610
and the spirit - both of them raging for control
422
00:20:31.860 --> 00:20:34.560
and they are opposite to one another.
423
00:20:34.560 --> 00:20:39.120
And you have a soul that can
make a decision which part
424
00:20:39.120 --> 00:20:42.510
of you is going to be in control.
425
00:20:42.510 --> 00:20:46.320
You can decide that you're
going to yield to the flesh
426
00:20:46.320 --> 00:20:50.020
or you can decide you're
going to yield to the spirit,
427
00:20:50.020 --> 00:20:52.510
but you're the only one
that can make that decision.
428
00:20:52.510 --> 00:20:56.680
But wait - when we go back to Galatians 5:16,
429
00:20:56.680 --> 00:20:58.420
let's look at it again.
430
00:20:58.420 --> 00:21:01.900
Paul says this, I say then: in Greek it says lego.
431
00:21:01.900 --> 00:21:04.270
Now listen to me, I'm going to say something.
432
00:21:04.270 --> 00:21:06.220
Then he employs the use of the little word de,
433
00:21:06.220 --> 00:21:09.310
which describes something that
is emphatic or categorical.
434
00:21:09.310 --> 00:21:10.240
Listen to me, I'm going to
435
00:21:10.240 --> 00:21:12.160
categorically say something to you.
436
00:21:12.160 --> 00:21:15.850
I'm emphatically telling you
that you can make a choice.
437
00:21:15.850 --> 00:21:17.380
Walk in the spirit.
438
00:21:17.380 --> 00:21:19.810
And again this word, walk, the Greek word peripateo,
439
00:21:19.810 --> 00:21:22.900
habitually walk in the
spirit, not once in a while,
440
00:21:22.900 --> 00:21:25.630
not just on Sundays, not just
when you're in a good mood,
441
00:21:25.630 --> 00:21:28.660
but you can habitually walk in the spirit
442
00:21:28.660 --> 00:21:32.860
until it becomes the place
where you live your life.
443
00:21:32.860 --> 00:21:35.740
Live in the spirit is
really what it means.
444
00:21:35.740 --> 00:21:39.400
And you shall not in no
wise, no, not never bring
445
00:21:39.400 --> 00:21:42.040
to fulfillment, the cravings
446
00:21:42.040 --> 00:21:44.320
and the hankerings of the flesh.
447
00:21:44.320 --> 00:21:47.740
And Galatians 5:16 again could be translated,
448
00:21:47.740 --> 00:21:49.960
Make the path of the spirit, the place
449
00:21:49.960 --> 00:21:52.270
where you habitually live and walk.
450
00:21:52.270 --> 00:21:55.390
Become so comfortable on this
spiritual path that you learn
451
00:21:55.390 --> 00:21:59.590
to leisurely and peacefully
stroll along in that realm.
452
00:21:59.590 --> 00:22:02.620
Living your life in this
spirit realm is the best way
453
00:22:02.620 --> 00:22:06.160
to guarantee you will not allow the yearnings of your flesh
454
00:22:06.160 --> 00:22:09.670
to creep out and fulfill themselves.
455
00:22:09.670 --> 00:22:11.290
But my friend, you're the only one
456
00:22:11.290 --> 00:22:12.400
that can make that choice.
457
00:22:12.400 --> 00:22:15.100
You choose. You have a soul,
458
00:22:15.100 --> 00:22:17.860
and with your soul you
choose, I'm gonna yield
459
00:22:17.860 --> 00:22:20.530
to the flesh realm or I'm
going to yield to the spirit.
460
00:22:21.400 --> 00:22:22.510
And you make a decision
461
00:22:22.510 --> 00:22:25.990
and you're going to eat the
fruit of what you choose.
462
00:22:25.990 --> 00:22:29.320
So Paul says, categorically, emphatically -
463
00:22:29.320 --> 00:22:33.730
Now this I say, then make the choice
464
00:22:33.730 --> 00:22:34.840
to walk in the spirit
465
00:22:34.840 --> 00:22:39.730
and you will not fulfill
the lusts of the flesh.
466
00:22:39.730 --> 00:22:42.460
I'll be back in just a moment
and I want to pray for you.
467
00:22:42.460 --> 00:22:45.790
A life dominated by
the flesh is a hard life.
468
00:22:45.790 --> 00:22:50.200
It is filled with excess imbalance, extremity, laziness,
469
00:22:50.200 --> 00:22:53.050
self-abuse, hatred, strife, bitterness,
470
00:22:53.050 --> 00:22:55.480
irresponsibility and neglect.
471
00:22:55.480 --> 00:22:58.120
The way of the flesh is
the hardest route to take.
472
00:22:58.120 --> 00:23:01.120
But a life dominated by
the Holy Spirit is filled
473
00:23:01.120 --> 00:23:02.650
with benefits and blessings.
474
00:23:02.650 --> 00:23:06.070
I'm talking about love,
joy, peace, long suffering,
475
00:23:06.070 --> 00:23:09.910
gentleness, goodness, faith,
meekness and temperance.
476
00:23:09.910 --> 00:23:11.110
Don't give way to the flesh
477
00:23:11.110 --> 00:23:13.840
and allow it to produce
its ugly work in your life.
478
00:23:13.840 --> 00:23:16.540

Hey, this is Rick Renner,
504
00:24:17.420 --> 00:24:22.220
and today I'm in the Tulsa office Building in the Warehouse.
505
00:24:22.220 --> 00:24:23.990
I love to come here
506
00:24:23.990 --> 00:24:28.160
'cause I see all the resources
which we're preparing to send
507
00:24:28.160 --> 00:24:30.920
to people literally to
the ends of the earth.
508
00:24:30.920 --> 00:24:33.950
Here we have living in the Combat Zone, Light
509
00:24:33.950 --> 00:24:37.520

510
00:24:37.520 --> 00:24:39.620
And here we have a copy of my new book,

00:24:39.620 --> 00:24:41.390
which is called World Before the Flood.
512
00:24:41.390 --> 00:24:44.870
Wow, this book has gone
out by the thousands.
513
00:24:44.870 --> 00:24:47.240
And all of that happens from here.
514
00:24:47.240 --> 00:24:49.820
These books don't stay here very long
515
00:24:49.820 --> 00:24:52.970
because people around

materials out from here.
518
00:25:00.710 --> 00:25:03.080
Wow, the ministry that goes out
519
00:25:03.080 --> 00:25:06.020

And do you know, of our original Ministry Expansion Project,
521
00:25:10.430 --> 00:25:15.110
70% of it is already finished and I want to say thank you.
522
00:25:15.110 --> 00:25:16.730
And now we need to keep it up
523
00:25:16.730 --> 00:25:19.610
until we knock out the remaining 30%.
524
00:25:19.610 --> 00:25:20.720

528
00:25:28.820 --> 00:25:33.410
All we have is 30% left and we're done.
529
00:25:33.410 --> 00:25:36.020
And when we're done, we're
gonna quit talking about it
530
00:25:36.020 --> 00:25:39.470
and we can redirect all these
funds to take the teaching
531
00:25:39.470 --> 00:25:41.660
of the Bible further to
the ends of the earth
532
00:25:41.660 --> 00:25:45.020

00:26:00.560 --> 00:26:03.140
of the Flesh VS The Fruit of the Spirit.

00:26:14.120 --> 00:26:15.590
How do we make that choice
542
00:26:15.590 --> 00:26:17.210
and how do we move out
543
00:26:17.210 --> 00:26:20.090
of the flesh realm into the spirit realm?
544
00:26:20.090 --> 00:26:22.700

But let me pray for you. Father, I thank you in the name
560
00:27:02.910 --> 00:27:05.190
of Jesus that you have given us the ability
561
00:27:05.190 --> 00:27:07.710
to choose whether we're
gonna walk the high
562
00:27:07.710 --> 00:27:08.820
road or the low road.
563
00:27:08.820 --> 00:27:11.070
And you're calling us
to choose the high road
564
00:27:11.070 --> 00:27:13.260
and to walk in the Spirit.
565
00:27:13.260 --> 00:27:14.310
You emphatically
566
00:27:14.310 --> 00:27:17.700
and categorically command
us to make that choice,
567
00:27:17.700 --> 00:27:19.325
and that means we can do it.
568
00:27:19.325 --> 00:27:22.290
And we thank you Holy Spirit,
for helping us move out
569
00:27:22.290 --> 00:27:24.600
of the flesh into the realm of the Spirit.
570
00:27:24.600 --> 00:27:28.530
In Jesus' name - Amen. I'll see you tomorrow.
571
00:27:28.530 --> 00:27:32.160
But remember Ecclesiastes 8:4, "Where the word
572
00:27:32.160 --> 00:27:34.680
of a king is there's power."
573
00:27:34.680 --> 00:27:36.960
If you've never received
Jesus as your Savior
574
00:27:36.960 --> 00:27:41.340
and Lord, now is the time for
you to experience a new life
575
00:27:41.340 --> 00:27:43.530
Jesus has to give you.
576
00:27:43.530 --> 00:27:47.610
Pray this prayer with me right now: Lord,
577
00:27:47.610 --> 00:27:51.600
I repent of my sin and receive you as my Savior
578
00:27:51.600 --> 00:27:54.570
and Lord. Wash away my sin
579
00:27:54.570 --> 00:27:57.600
and make me completely new.
580
00:27:57.600 --> 00:28:01.470
I thank you that my sin is removed
581
00:28:01.470 --> 00:28:06.470
and Satan no longer has any
right to lay claim on me.
582
00:28:06.930 --> 00:28:10.920
I faithfully promise that
I will serve you as my Lord
583
00:28:10.920 --> 00:28:12.630
for the rest of my life.
584
00:28:13.680 --> 00:28:14.680
Amen.
585
00:28:17.430 --> 00:28:20.250
If you just prayed the
prayer of salvation with us,
586
00:28:20.250 --> 00:28:22.200
