00:00:00.900 --> 00:00:03.390
This program is made possible by the giving
2
00:00:03.390 --> 00:00:05.250
of the God called partners
3
00:00:05.250 --> 00:00:07.783
of Renner Ministries.
4
00:00:07.783 --> 00:00:09.210
Welcome to today's program.
5
00:00:09.210 --> 00:00:12.900
My name is Rick Renner and
I've been waiting for you.
6
00:00:12.900 --> 00:00:16.050
Thank you for letting me come
right into your space. Today
7
00:00:16.050 --> 00:00:18.870
we're gonna return to Galatians 5,
8
00:00:18.870 --> 00:00:23.520
and we're learning how to walk in the spirit. My friend,
9
00:00:23.520 --> 00:00:25.470
you don't wanna walk in the flesh
10
00:00:25.470 --> 00:00:29.760
because the flesh produces really bad things in our life,
11
00:00:29.760 --> 00:00:31.320
but God gave us a soul.
12
00:00:31.320 --> 00:00:34.320
And with our soul, we
can choose to move out
13
00:00:34.320 --> 00:00:37.230
of the flesh realm into the spirit realm.
14
00:00:37.230 --> 00:00:39.990
And that's what we're learning
in this brand new series,
15
00:00:39.990 --> 00:00:41.550
which is called The Works
16
00:00:41.550 --> 00:00:43.770
of the Flesh VS The Fruit of the Spirit.
17
00:00:43.770 --> 00:00:47.880
The subtitle says, You Choose - Death-Permeated Works
18
00:00:47.880 --> 00:00:51.750
or Supernatural Life-Giving Fruit? My friends,
19
00:00:51.750 --> 00:00:54.480
I know you want life giving fruit.
20
00:00:54.480 --> 00:00:56.310
So you need to know how to move out
21
00:00:56.310 --> 00:00:58.800
of the flesh into the spirit.
22
00:00:58.800 --> 00:01:01.080
And we're gonna pick up
and cover this again today.
23
00:01:01.080 --> 00:01:02.970
It's going to be so rich today.
24
00:01:02.970 --> 00:01:05.190
And by the way, when
you order this, be sure
25
00:01:05.190 --> 00:01:07.920
to also order the study
guide that goes with it.
26
00:01:07.920 --> 00:01:10.800
Both of these are available renner.org
27
00:01:10.800 --> 00:01:12.450
or you can give us a call right now.
28
00:01:12.450 --> 00:01:14.220
And the study guide is loaded.
29
00:01:14.220 --> 00:01:17.370
It is loaded with all the
points and the principles
30
00:01:17.370 --> 00:01:18.750
and the Greek words.
31
00:01:18.750 --> 00:01:21.090
You will just devour this teaching.
32
00:01:21.090 --> 00:01:24.000
And by the way, it would be great for a Bible study group.
33
00:01:24.000 --> 00:01:27.300
And right now we're also offering you my daily devotionals.
34
00:01:27.300 --> 00:01:29.820
One is called Sparkling Gems from the Greek
35
00:01:29.820 --> 00:01:31.380
No.I - do you already have this?
36
00:01:31.380 --> 00:01:33.270
If you already have this, then you need
37
00:01:33.270 --> 00:01:36.450
to get No.II - Sparkling Gems From the Greek
38
00:01:36.450 --> 00:01:39.510
No.II: so many people read Vol.I that they said,
39
00:01:39.510 --> 00:01:41.190
please give us more.
40
00:01:41.190 --> 00:01:42.930
So I dove into the New Testament
41
00:01:42.930 --> 00:01:47.430
and extracted another thousand Greek word studies.
42
00:01:47.430 --> 00:01:50.940
So in Vol.I there's a thousand: in Vol.II,
43
00:01:50.940 --> 00:01:54.390
there's 1,000: 2000 Greek word studies
44
00:01:54.390 --> 00:01:55.920
between these two volumes.
45
00:01:55.920 --> 00:01:57.990
And I know they look very large,
46
00:01:57.990 --> 00:01:59.250
but they're daily devotionals.
47
00:01:59.250 --> 00:02:02.100
You just read a little bit every day
48
00:02:02.100 --> 00:02:05.250
and it will just take you
into the New Testament
49
00:02:05.250 --> 00:02:08.040
and make it come alive for you.
50
00:02:08.040 --> 00:02:11.160
If you enjoy what I do with
Greek on these programs,
51
00:02:11.160 --> 00:02:13.170
you will just love these books.
52
00:02:13.170 --> 00:02:15.090
So order yours today.
53
00:02:15.090 --> 00:02:17.670
And please remember that we're praying people
54
00:02:17.670 --> 00:02:20.190
and if you need prayer, we want to pray for you.
55
00:02:20.190 --> 00:02:22.500
So if you'll reach out to us by calling
56
00:02:22.500 --> 00:02:24.090
or by sending us your email
57
00:02:24.090 --> 00:02:27.180
or your letter, the moment
we hear from you, we're going
58
00:02:27.180 --> 00:02:29.850
to really begin to release
our faith to believe for God,
59
00:02:29.850 --> 00:02:31.530
to move mighty in your life.
60
00:02:31.530 --> 00:02:35.520
He promises he will do that in Jeremiah 33:3,
61
00:02:35.520 --> 00:02:38.550
where he says, Call unto me and I will show you great
62
00:02:38.550 --> 00:02:39.960
and mighty things.
63
00:02:39.960 --> 00:02:43.710
Let us know how to pray and
we'll cry out to God in faith
64
00:02:43.710 --> 00:02:46.950
and he will move mightily in your life.
65
00:02:46.950 --> 00:02:49.783
But I'll be back in just a moment.
66
00:02:50.665 --> 00:02:53.190
Get ready for a teaching
that feeds your spirit
67
00:02:53.190 --> 00:02:56.760
and your mind where the
word is the anchor in
68
00:02:56.760 --> 00:02:58.710
uncertain times.
69
00:02:58.710 --> 00:03:02.050
And doctrine doesn't bend to culture.
70
00:03:02.050 --> 00:03:03.460
We keep it simple,
71
00:03:03.460 --> 00:03:08.050
but dive deep revealing a
truth that strengthens us,
72
00:03:08.920 --> 00:03:10.840
a love that emboldens,
73
00:03:11.920 --> 00:03:14.635
and a mission that touches the world.
74
00:03:14.635 --> 00:03:17.260
Let's join Rick Renner. My friend,
75
00:03:20.800 --> 00:03:22.840
today we're going to begin studying how
76
00:03:22.840 --> 00:03:24.910
to walk in the spirit
77
00:03:24.910 --> 00:03:28.390
and pull the plug on the flesh.
78
00:03:28.390 --> 00:03:32.080
The flesh produces some really
ugly stuff in our lives.
79
00:03:32.080 --> 00:03:35.620
So we have to make the choice
not to walk in the flesh,
80
00:03:35.620 --> 00:03:37.450
but to walk in the spirit.
81
00:03:37.450 --> 00:03:40.600
And the good news is we
can make that choice,
82
00:03:40.600 --> 00:03:43.300
but let's begin where
we stopped yesterday.
83
00:03:43.300 --> 00:03:44.470
So grab your Bible
84
00:03:44.470 --> 00:03:48.880
and let's go back to Galatians 5:15,
85
00:03:48.880 --> 00:03:52.240
where Paul describes a life that is dominated by the flesh.
86
00:03:52.240 --> 00:03:53.980
Listen to what he says;
87
00:03:53.980 --> 00:03:57.070
But if you bite and devour one another, take heed
88
00:03:57.070 --> 00:04:00.190
that you be not consumed one of another.
89
00:04:00.190 --> 00:04:04.300
Ugh, that sounds like
such an ugly relationship
90
00:04:04.300 --> 00:04:07.150
and conversation filled
with strife and contention,
91
00:04:07.150 --> 00:04:10.090
but that is what the flesh produces.
92
00:04:10.090 --> 00:04:12.310
Paul says, if you bite. That word,
93
00:04:12.310 --> 00:04:16.690 line:15%
bite, is a Greek word which means to bite with the teeth.
94
00:04:16.690 --> 00:04:18.310
That sounds really ugly,
95
00:04:18.310 --> 00:04:21.400
but it also means to wound with your words,
96
00:04:21.400 --> 00:04:23.860
which means - words bite.
97
00:04:23.860 --> 00:04:25.568
It means to lacerate and to
98
00:04:25.568 --> 00:04:28.143
rend with insults and reproaches.
99
00:04:28.143 --> 00:04:29.650
Has anybody ever insulted you
100
00:04:29.650 --> 00:04:31.150
and reproached you with their words
101
00:04:31.150 --> 00:04:33.280
or have you ever done it to somebody else?
102
00:04:33.280 --> 00:04:37.060
Ah, if you continue, you
will devour one another.
103
00:04:37.060 --> 00:04:39.550
The word devour that is used here is a compound
104
00:04:39.550 --> 00:04:41.650 line:15%
of two Greek words: the word kata,
105
00:04:41.650 --> 00:04:44.020 line:15%
which means down: the Greek word esthio, which means
106
00:04:44.020 --> 00:04:45.670
to eat or to consume.
107
00:04:45.670 --> 00:04:48.250
But when you compound the
two words together, it means
108
00:04:48.250 --> 00:04:52.630
to eat, to devour, to gulp,
or to swallow completely.
109
00:04:52.630 --> 00:04:54.310
We're talking about a conversation
110
00:04:54.310 --> 00:04:56.950
where you just eat one another alive.
111
00:04:56.950 --> 00:04:59.290
That is not something you want to do.
112
00:04:59.290 --> 00:05:02.950
It's negative, it's hurtful, it's harmful.
113
00:05:02.950 --> 00:05:05.590 line:15%
In fact, Paul says - take heed. In Greek
114
00:05:05.590 --> 00:05:07.960
it is the word blepete, which means listen,
115
00:05:07.960 --> 00:05:09.940 line:15%
pay attention, be aware.
116
00:05:09.940 --> 00:05:12.280
He's trying to jolt us to understand
117
00:05:12.280 --> 00:05:15.220
that the flesh produces really bad things.
118
00:05:15.220 --> 00:05:20.170
He says, take heed that you be
not consumed one of another.
119
00:05:20.170 --> 00:05:23.260
And that word consumed means totally consumed,
120
00:05:23.260 --> 00:05:28.260
completely eaten alive, devoured, or destroyed.
121
00:05:28.270 --> 00:05:30.640
I'm sure at some point you've been in one
122
00:05:30.640 --> 00:05:33.220
of those really rough conversations.
123
00:05:33.220 --> 00:05:37.450
They're not pleasant and they don't produce anything good.
124
00:05:37.450 --> 00:05:41.350
Well, Paul gives us an alternative beginning in Galatians
125
00:05:41.350 --> 00:05:43.780
5:16, where he says - This
126
00:05:43.780 --> 00:05:47.590
I say then. That's what the King James version says.
127
00:05:47.590 --> 00:05:49.240
But when you read this in the Greek text,
128
00:05:49.240 --> 00:05:50.950
it says it a little different.
129
00:05:50.950 --> 00:05:53.110
It says lego de.
130
00:05:53.110 --> 00:05:55.300
The word lego means - I say,
131
00:05:55.300 --> 00:05:58.700
but the word de describes something that is categorical
132
00:05:58.700 --> 00:06:00.620
or something that is emphatic.
133
00:06:00.620 --> 00:06:04.280
So now Paul is lifting his voice like a commander,
134
00:06:04.280 --> 00:06:06.230
and he is saying - listen to me.
135
00:06:06.230 --> 00:06:08.870
I'm categorically telling you;
136
00:06:08.870 --> 00:06:11.330
I am emphatically telling you - you need
137
00:06:11.330 --> 00:06:13.550
to make a higher choice.
138
00:06:13.550 --> 00:06:16.820
You need to walk in the spirit
139
00:06:16.820 --> 00:06:21.820
and ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.
140
00:06:21.920 --> 00:06:25.130
But what does that mean -
to walk in the spirit?
141
00:06:25.130 --> 00:06:28.010
I remember when I was a
young man, I would think, oh,
142
00:06:28.010 --> 00:06:30.950
if I could just walk in
the spirit once in a while,
143
00:06:30.950 --> 00:06:34.160
it would be so victorious: if
I could just be in a good mood
144
00:06:34.160 --> 00:06:35.990
and walk in the spirit on Sundays,
145
00:06:35.990 --> 00:06:37.850
what a victory that would be.
146
00:06:37.850 --> 00:06:41.630
But wait, this word walk
doesn't mean hit and miss.
147
00:06:41.630 --> 00:06:42.920
It doesn't mean once in a while.
148
00:06:42.920 --> 00:06:45.530
It means regularly and habitually.
149
00:06:45.530 --> 00:06:48.710
It is the Greek word, peripateo.
150
00:06:48.710 --> 00:06:51.860
The word peri, describes something that encircles you
151
00:06:51.860 --> 00:06:54.140
or something that is encircling.
152
00:06:54.140 --> 00:06:56.870
The word pateo, is from of the word pathos,
153
00:06:56.870 --> 00:06:58.130
which describes a path.
154
00:06:58.130 --> 00:07:02.090
But when it becomes pateo, it means to walk on a path.
155
00:07:02.090 --> 00:07:03.920
But when you compound the two words together,
156
00:07:03.920 --> 00:07:06.620
it literally means to habitually walk
157
00:07:06.620 --> 00:07:11.620
around in one general
vicinity all the time.
158
00:07:12.110 --> 00:07:16.070
It means to live in one particular realm.
159
00:07:16.070 --> 00:07:19.160
So walking in the spirit does not mean hit
160
00:07:19.160 --> 00:07:20.630
and miss every once in a while,
161
00:07:20.630 --> 00:07:24.920
it literally means - live habitually in the spirit.
162
00:07:24.920 --> 00:07:27.200
And Paul tells us emphatically
163
00:07:27.200 --> 00:07:29.720
and categorically, we can do that.
164
00:07:29.720 --> 00:07:33.830
We really can habitually live in the spirit.
165
00:07:33.830 --> 00:07:38.830
It depicts a person who has walked in one region for so long
166
00:07:39.170 --> 00:07:43.580
that it's now become his environment, his place of activity,
167
00:07:43.580 --> 00:07:47.360
the spear that encircles his existence.
168
00:07:47.360 --> 00:07:50.930
One man says it depicts a person who has walked one path
169
00:07:50.930 --> 00:07:53.990
so habitually that now he can walk
170
00:07:53.990 --> 00:07:55.940
that path blindfolded
171
00:07:55.940 --> 00:07:59.390
because it is his path, his spear, the place
172
00:07:59.390 --> 00:08:02.810
where he has habitually lived and functioned.
173
00:08:02.810 --> 00:08:06.410
It is his path, his walk, his realm of life
174
00:08:06.410 --> 00:08:10.070
and he feels very safe and very comfortable there.
175
00:08:10.070 --> 00:08:13.100
And in fact, in the secular literature
176
00:08:13.100 --> 00:08:14.420
of the New Testament Times,
177
00:08:14.420 --> 00:08:17.960
this word peripateo, was sometimes translated
178
00:08:17.960 --> 00:08:21.020
to stroll - to stroll.
179
00:08:21.020 --> 00:08:24.050
You know, Denise loves to
stroll through the mall.
180
00:08:24.050 --> 00:08:26.240
Denise loves to stroll through the park.
181
00:08:26.240 --> 00:08:28.700
It's really hard for me to
stroll. I like to keep moving.
182
00:08:28.700 --> 00:08:32.720
But when I watch Denise Stroll, it's always amazing to me
183
00:08:32.720 --> 00:08:37.040
because she does it so pleasurably and so leisurely.
184
00:08:37.040 --> 00:08:40.610
She enjoys all the sight,
the smells, the scenes,
185
00:08:40.610 --> 00:08:42.560
everything around her.
186
00:08:42.560 --> 00:08:46.880
And this word walk, the Greek
word peripateo, depicts just
187
00:08:46.880 --> 00:08:49.700
that one who leisurely strolls.
188
00:08:49.700 --> 00:08:53.090
It is not a picture of a person who's frustratingly saying,
189
00:08:53.090 --> 00:08:55.410
I'm going to walk in the spirit.
190
00:08:55.410 --> 00:08:58.530
But this is a walk that
is so natural to him
191
00:08:58.530 --> 00:09:02.670
that now he walks there,
he's restful, he's relaxed,
192
00:09:02.670 --> 00:09:06.660
he's unhurried, he's peaceful, he's calm.
193
00:09:06.660 --> 00:09:09.930
The stresses and anxieties
of life are removed,
194
00:09:09.930 --> 00:09:12.390
and he moves into around
195
00:09:12.390 --> 00:09:16.770
where he can stroll along in
a continual state of rest,
196
00:09:16.770 --> 00:09:18.930
peace, and calmness.
197
00:09:18.930 --> 00:09:22.050
It's where he lives, his life.
198
00:09:22.050 --> 00:09:26.948
That is the word Paul remarkably uses in Galatians 5:16.
199
00:09:27.990 --> 00:09:31.290
Now I say, I categorically say,
200
00:09:31.290 --> 00:09:33.270
that's literally what the Greek means.
201
00:09:33.270 --> 00:09:36.330
Walk habitually in the spirit;
202
00:09:36.330 --> 00:09:38.460
live in this realm,
203
00:09:38.460 --> 00:09:42.240
and you shall not fulfill the lust
204
00:09:42.240 --> 00:09:43.470
of the flesh.
205
00:09:43.470 --> 00:09:47.430
The word shall not in Greek are 2-negatives. It is the Greek
206
00:09:47.430 --> 00:09:51.240 line:15%
word, ou, which is the emphatic word for no.
207
00:09:51.240 --> 00:09:54.120
The word me, is a canceling or a negative word.
208
00:09:54.120 --> 00:09:57.930
When you put the two words together, it means no in no way.
209
00:09:57.930 --> 00:10:02.460
You will never in no
wise will you fulfill the
210
00:10:02.460 --> 00:10:03.840
lusts of the flesh.
211
00:10:03.840 --> 00:10:05.970
And the word fulfill, is a Greek word teleo,
212
00:10:05.970 --> 00:10:09.870
which always pictures bringing
something from an embryonic
213
00:10:09.870 --> 00:10:12.720
stage into full development.
214
00:10:12.720 --> 00:10:15.300
Even though the flesh in
an embryonic way may want
215
00:10:15.300 --> 00:10:18.660
to express itself, if you
choose to walk in the spirit,
216
00:10:18.660 --> 00:10:21.120
you will stop the
development of the flesh.
217
00:10:21.120 --> 00:10:23.820
You won't satisfy it,
you won't gratify it,
218
00:10:23.820 --> 00:10:26.610
you will not allow it to
develop or to fulfill itself.
219
00:10:26.610 --> 00:10:28.470
He said, you will not fulfill
220
00:10:29.850 --> 00:10:32.040
the lust of the flesh.
221
00:10:32.040 --> 00:10:33.690 line:15%
Even the word lust, is so important.
222
00:10:33.690 --> 00:10:36.690 line:15%
the Greek word, epithumia: it's a compound of two words.
223
00:10:36.690 --> 00:10:41.070
The word epi means over.
It's used as an intensifier.
224
00:10:41.070 --> 00:10:43.590
The 2nd part of the word is the word humia.
225
00:10:43.590 --> 00:10:46.800
The word humia is the word for a passionate desire:
226
00:10:46.800 --> 00:10:48.780
something that's really passionate.
227
00:10:48.780 --> 00:10:51.420
It's swelling and growing in size.
228
00:10:51.420 --> 00:10:53.760
And when you compound the two words together,
229
00:10:53.760 --> 00:10:56.910
it describes a desire, a craving
230
00:10:56.910 --> 00:11:01.260
or carnal longing of the flesh: a yearning,
231
00:11:01.260 --> 00:11:02.850
a hankering,
232
00:11:02.850 --> 00:11:05.520
and it pictures one that
wants something so bad,
233
00:11:05.520 --> 00:11:07.590
his whole body is bent over.
234
00:11:07.590 --> 00:11:12.570
He's yearning for it, he's reaching for it, he's craving it.
235
00:11:12.570 --> 00:11:17.400
And here the apostle Paul
tells us the flesh has its
236
00:11:17.400 --> 00:11:18.450
own mind
237
00:11:18.450 --> 00:11:22.110
and its own desires, which
is something he also writes
238
00:11:22.110 --> 00:11:24.810
to us about in Ephesians 2:3,
239
00:11:24.810 --> 00:11:27.810
where Paul says, the flesh has its own will.
240
00:11:27.810 --> 00:11:29.700
The flesh has its own desires,
241
00:11:29.700 --> 00:11:32.550
and the flesh even has its own mind.
242
00:11:32.550 --> 00:11:36.900
And if you don't crucify it
by the power of the spirit,
243
00:11:36.900 --> 00:11:39.270
mortify it by the power
of the Holy Spirit,
244
00:11:39.270 --> 00:11:43.560
your flesh will begin to work
its evil fruit in your life.
245
00:11:43.560 --> 00:11:47.580
But if you use your mind to make a decision
246
00:11:47.580 --> 00:11:52.080
and your mind is where the battle is won. You see your flesh
247
00:11:52.080 --> 00:11:56.200
and your spirit: and lying between the two is your soul.
248
00:11:56.200 --> 00:11:58.480
Your soul is the control center of your life,
249
00:11:58.480 --> 00:12:00.370
and it's with your soul,
250
00:12:00.370 --> 00:12:03.940
it's with your mind that you choose which part
251
00:12:03.940 --> 00:12:06.250
of you is going to dominate you.
252
00:12:06.250 --> 00:12:08.860
And if you've been walking
in the flesh for a long,
253
00:12:08.860 --> 00:12:10.150
long time,
254
00:12:10.150 --> 00:12:13.180
then you will naturally
gravitate toward the flesh.
255
00:12:13.180 --> 00:12:16.210
You have to learn to mortify
the flesh by the power
256
00:12:16.210 --> 00:12:19.030
of the Holy Spirit and
yield to the spirit,
257
00:12:19.030 --> 00:12:21.430
which is a choice.
258
00:12:21.430 --> 00:12:24.190
And Paul says, if you walk in the spirit,
259
00:12:24.190 --> 00:12:27.160
you cannot simultaneously walk in the flesh.
260
00:12:27.160 --> 00:12:28.690
This is incompatible.
261
00:12:28.690 --> 00:12:31.210
You can only walk in
one realm at one time.
262
00:12:31.210 --> 00:12:33.580
It is impossible to walk in the spirit
263
00:12:33.580 --> 00:12:35.770
and be controlled by the
flesh at the same time.
264
00:12:35.770 --> 00:12:38.620
Likewise, it's impossible
for you to be dominated
265
00:12:38.620 --> 00:12:41.770
by the flesh and also be
dominated by the spirit.
266
00:12:41.770 --> 00:12:45.520
Therefore, with your soul,
you have to choose which part
267
00:12:45.520 --> 00:12:47.650
of you is going to dominate your life.
268
00:12:48.880 --> 00:12:52.900
He says, you shall not
fulfill the lust of the flesh.
269
00:12:52.900 --> 00:12:56.590
That word flesh, the Greek word sarkos, describes the flesh,
270
00:12:56.590 --> 00:13:00.640
carnal instincts or base
instincts of the flesh.
271
00:13:00.640 --> 00:13:03.760
And Paul's telling us when we walk in the spirit,
272
00:13:03.760 --> 00:13:07.720
we pull the plug on the flesh.
273
00:13:07.720 --> 00:13:12.340
And the RIV of Galatians 5:16 is: make the path
274
00:13:12.340 --> 00:13:16.270
of the spirit, the place where
you habitually live and walk,
275
00:13:16.270 --> 00:13:19.720
become so comfortable on this
spiritual path that you learn
276
00:13:19.720 --> 00:13:23.890
to leisurely and peacefully
stroll along in that realm;
277
00:13:23.890 --> 00:13:26.920
living your life in the spirit realm is the best way
278
00:13:26.920 --> 00:13:30.190
to guarantee that you will
not allow the yearnings
279
00:13:30.190 --> 00:13:34.330
of your flesh to creep out
and fulfill themselves.
280
00:13:34.330 --> 00:13:36.070
Oh, so powerful.
281
00:13:36.070 --> 00:13:39.070
And then in verse 17, Paul tells us
282
00:13:39.070 --> 00:13:42.490
that there's a war taking place between these two realms:
283
00:13:42.490 --> 00:13:44.170
the spirit realm and the flesh realm.
284
00:13:44.170 --> 00:13:49.170
Listen to this; for the flesh
lusteth against the spirit.
285
00:13:49.180 --> 00:13:51.910
The Greek says, the things belonging to the spirit.
286
00:13:51.910 --> 00:13:54.250
The word against, in Greek is the word kata.
287
00:13:54.250 --> 00:13:57.100
The word kata describes something coming down, something
288
00:13:57.100 --> 00:14:00.400
that is against, something that wants to dominate, conquer,
289
00:14:00.400 --> 00:14:02.230
or even squash.
290
00:14:02.230 --> 00:14:06.220
It means that when you
choose to walk in the spirit,
291
00:14:06.220 --> 00:14:09.610
your flesh will declare war.
292
00:14:09.610 --> 00:14:12.520
Your flesh has controlled
you for a long time.
293
00:14:12.520 --> 00:14:15.010
And when you begin to
surrender to a higher realm,
294
00:14:15.010 --> 00:14:17.110
your flesh will scream out.
295
00:14:17.110 --> 00:14:19.390
It will try to squash what you're doing.
296
00:14:19.390 --> 00:14:21.730
It will come against this activity for you
297
00:14:21.730 --> 00:14:23.140
to move into the higher road
298
00:14:23.140 --> 00:14:26.200
and try to pull you back
down onto a lower level.
299
00:14:26.200 --> 00:14:27.820
And the verse goes on to say,
300
00:14:27.820 --> 00:14:30.070
and the spirit is against the flesh.
301
00:14:30.070 --> 00:14:32.320
The word against, the Greek word kata, again,
302
00:14:32.320 --> 00:14:36.400
which means down against to conquer to dominate to squash.
303
00:14:36.400 --> 00:14:38.860
There is a war taking place
304
00:14:38.860 --> 00:14:41.530
between these two realms in your life.
305
00:14:41.530 --> 00:14:43.150
You already know that.
306
00:14:43.150 --> 00:14:44.500
In fact, Paul goes on to say,
307
00:14:44.500 --> 00:14:48.370
and these are contrary one to
the other. The word contrary,
308
00:14:48.370 --> 00:14:49.630
the Greek word antikeimai.
309
00:14:50.770 --> 00:14:54.230 line:15%
The word anti, means against: the word keimai, means to set
310
00:14:54.230 --> 00:14:57.320
or to position something: to stack something in place.
311
00:14:57.320 --> 00:14:59.510
And when you compound
the two words together,
312
00:14:59.510 --> 00:15:03.320
this word antikeimai, means to set in opposition
313
00:15:03.320 --> 00:15:07.460
as if in war: to strategically oppose,
314
00:15:07.460 --> 00:15:10.730
to take a stand against, to completely be
315
00:15:12.745 --> 00:15:14.690
unreconcilable with each other.
316
00:15:14.690 --> 00:15:18.470
It pictures two enemies on
opposite sides of the line.
317
00:15:18.470 --> 00:15:23.240
It is an all out war,
which means when you choose
318
00:15:23.240 --> 00:15:25.130
to walk in the spirit,
319
00:15:25.130 --> 00:15:30.130
don't be surprised if
your flesh throws a fit
320
00:15:30.200 --> 00:15:32.540
because the flesh does not want
321
00:15:32.540 --> 00:15:35.660
to lose its control in your life.
322
00:15:35.660 --> 00:15:40.220
But wait, then we finally come to Galatians 5:
323
00:15:40.220 --> 00:15:45.220
19, where Paul says, Now the works of the flesh
324
00:15:45.350 --> 00:15:46.700
are manifest.
325
00:15:46.700 --> 00:15:51.380
And notice that Paul says
the flesh produces work.
326
00:15:51.380 --> 00:15:53.210
That's vastly different from the spirit
327
00:15:53.210 --> 00:15:56.270
because the spirit produces fruit,
328
00:15:56.270 --> 00:15:58.910
but the flesh produces work.
329
00:15:58.910 --> 00:16:02.060
And the word work that is used
here in the Greek text is the
330
00:16:02.060 --> 00:16:05.870 line:15%
word erga. It signifies some kind of action deed
331
00:16:05.870 --> 00:16:07.400
or activity.
332
00:16:07.400 --> 00:16:10.040
Very often it referred
to a person's occupation
333
00:16:10.040 --> 00:16:12.050
to one's labor or to the things produced
334
00:16:12.050 --> 00:16:14.390
by someone's effort or life.
335
00:16:14.390 --> 00:16:18.200
It describes a person's line of work, his career, his labor,
336
00:16:18.200 --> 00:16:19.220
or his profession,
337
00:16:19.220 --> 00:16:24.050
and denotes the results
of hard, hard work,
338
00:16:24.050 --> 00:16:28.490
which means what the flesh
produces is really ugly.
339
00:16:28.490 --> 00:16:32.690
It's really hard what the flesh produces.
340
00:16:32.690 --> 00:16:35.480
And I want to give you a true story.
341
00:16:35.480 --> 00:16:38.030
Many, many years ago I was in Riga
342
00:16:38.030 --> 00:16:41.000
and I was riding in a
car that we had rented.
343
00:16:41.000 --> 00:16:43.490
I had a couple of very famous
speakers with me in the car
344
00:16:43.490 --> 00:16:45.440
who had come to Riga
to speak in our church.
345
00:16:46.460 --> 00:16:49.250
And as we were driving along,
I was seated in the front
346
00:16:49.250 --> 00:16:50.840
of the car on the right hand side,
347
00:16:50.840 --> 00:16:52.760
the rented driver was on the left.
348
00:16:52.760 --> 00:16:54.830
Something happened that was unthinkable.
349
00:16:54.830 --> 00:16:57.565
A man committed suicide by jumping
350
00:16:57.565 --> 00:16:59.750
in front of our car.
351
00:16:59.750 --> 00:17:04.040
I can still hear our car hitting that man's body.
352
00:17:04.040 --> 00:17:07.190
I saw his body thrown into
the oncoming lane on the other
353
00:17:07.190 --> 00:17:08.930
side of the street and watched
354
00:17:08.930 --> 00:17:12.470
as five cars drove over his body.
355
00:17:12.470 --> 00:17:15.470
It was such a horrible thing to see. Quickly,
356
00:17:15.470 --> 00:17:16.670
we parked our car
357
00:17:16.670 --> 00:17:19.400
and I put our special
guests in another taxi
358
00:17:19.400 --> 00:17:20.690
and sent them to their hotel.
359
00:17:20.690 --> 00:17:22.580
And I walked across the street
360
00:17:22.580 --> 00:17:24.710
and said to a local policeman, can I please go
361
00:17:24.710 --> 00:17:25.940
and pray for this man?
362
00:17:25.940 --> 00:17:27.680
He kinda laughed at me and said, huh,
363
00:17:27.680 --> 00:17:29.930
you think there's any hope
in praying for that man?
364
00:17:29.930 --> 00:17:33.380
That man's dead. But I got right into the face of that man.
365
00:17:33.380 --> 00:17:36.230
And when I looked into his face, oh,
366
00:17:36.230 --> 00:17:38.120
it was such a sad sight.
367
00:17:38.120 --> 00:17:40.700
I figured he was about 70 years old.
368
00:17:40.700 --> 00:17:45.230
He looked so old, he looked
hard, he looked broken, deep,
369
00:17:45.230 --> 00:17:47.450
deep lines in his face.
370
00:17:47.450 --> 00:17:51.630
And now he lay there, his body
crushed, completely broken.
371
00:17:51.630 --> 00:17:53.790
I could smell alcohol on his breath.
372
00:17:53.790 --> 00:17:56.910
This was a man who had lived a very hard
373
00:17:56.910 --> 00:17:59.730
and a very difficult life.
374
00:17:59.730 --> 00:18:01.860
Well, several days later,
the police came to me
375
00:18:01.860 --> 00:18:04.710
to interview me about that accident,
376
00:18:04.710 --> 00:18:07.860
and they began to tell me about this man that had been hit
377
00:18:07.860 --> 00:18:09.180
and had been killed.
378
00:18:09.180 --> 00:18:12.660
And I was stunned when they told me he was - are you ready
379
00:18:12.660 --> 00:18:16.080
27 years old.
380
00:18:16.080 --> 00:18:18.540
The man who died was 27.
381
00:18:19.380 --> 00:18:21.690
I thought he was 70 at least.
382
00:18:21.690 --> 00:18:24.030
And in fact, after they told me he was 27,
383
00:18:24.030 --> 00:18:27.150
I almost couldn't hear anything else in the conversation.
384
00:18:27.150 --> 00:18:30.360
All I could think was the appearance
385
00:18:30.360 --> 00:18:31.830
of this man was so hard.
386
00:18:31.830 --> 00:18:34.320
It was so bitter. He looked so old.
387
00:18:34.320 --> 00:18:36.960
I really thought he was elderly.
388
00:18:37.830 --> 00:18:39.330
For him to be so young
389
00:18:39.330 --> 00:18:43.110
and to look so old, I knew this was a man
390
00:18:43.110 --> 00:18:45.630
who had lived a really unruly life.
391
00:18:45.630 --> 00:18:48.570
But what's amazing is when he was born,
392
00:18:48.570 --> 00:18:50.970
he was a beautiful baby.
393
00:18:50.970 --> 00:18:52.200
When he was born,
394
00:18:52.200 --> 00:18:55.800
his mother believed he was
gonna live a great life.
395
00:18:55.800 --> 00:18:57.420
She had great hopes for him.
396
00:18:57.420 --> 00:18:59.370
But over the course of life,
397
00:18:59.370 --> 00:19:02.790
because that man had been
dominated by his flesh,
398
00:19:02.790 --> 00:19:05.820
his flesh had turned him inside out,
399
00:19:05.820 --> 00:19:10.260
his flesh had worked him
until now, he was reduced
400
00:19:10.260 --> 00:19:13.290
to looking like an elderly old broken man.
401
00:19:13.290 --> 00:19:18.210
And in fact, he was 27 years old.
402
00:19:18.210 --> 00:19:22.080
But my friends, that is
what the flesh produces.
403
00:19:22.080 --> 00:19:23.730
Listen to me very careful.
404
00:19:23.730 --> 00:19:26.370
It is the occupation of flesh
405
00:19:26.370 --> 00:19:29.340
to do really hard things in your life.
406
00:19:29.340 --> 00:19:33.210
The flesh, if you let it have
its way, will jump forward
407
00:19:33.210 --> 00:19:37.950
to manifest its evil desires and all of its carnal cravings.
408
00:19:37.950 --> 00:19:40.080
If you don't stop its activity,
409
00:19:40.080 --> 00:19:43.950 line:15%
it will lead you into adultery, fornication, uncleaness,
410
00:19:43.950 --> 00:19:47.730 line:15%
lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance,
411
00:19:47.730 --> 00:19:48.563
emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
412
00:19:48.563 --> 00:19:49.396
envyings, murders,
413
00:19:52.440 --> 00:19:56.400
drunkenness, revellings, and
other vices of this kind.
414
00:19:56.400 --> 00:19:59.670
If you let the flesh have its way,
415
00:19:59.670 --> 00:20:04.080
you'll end up in scandal, drinking alcohol, on drugs
416
00:20:04.080 --> 00:20:07.560
or becoming bitter hardhearted or filled with malice
417
00:20:07.560 --> 00:20:10.020
and strife because that is
418
00:20:10.020 --> 00:20:14.790
what the flesh eventually
produces when it has its
419
00:20:14.790 --> 00:20:17.460
way in a person's life.
420
00:20:17.460 --> 00:20:21.000
But that does not have to be you.
421
00:20:21.000 --> 00:20:25.440
And that is why Paul tells us in Galatians 5:16,
422
00:20:25.440 --> 00:20:27.960
This I say then, walk in the spirit.
423
00:20:27.960 --> 00:20:29.520
He's giving us an option.
424
00:20:29.520 --> 00:20:30.540
Walk in the spirit
425
00:20:30.540 --> 00:20:33.930
and you will not fulfill the lust of the flesh.
426
00:20:33.930 --> 00:20:38.400
And again, the RIV of Galatians 5:16 is, Make the path
427
00:20:38.400 --> 00:20:42.180
of the spirit, the place where
you habitually live and walk.
428
00:20:42.180 --> 00:20:45.870
Become so comfortable on this
spiritual path that you learn
429
00:20:45.870 --> 00:20:49.600
to leisurely and peacefully
stroll along in that realm.
430
00:20:49.600 --> 00:20:52.600
Living your life in this
spirit realm is the best way
431
00:20:52.600 --> 00:20:56.050
to guarantee you will not allow the yearnings
432
00:20:56.050 --> 00:20:58.270
of your flesh to creep out
433
00:20:58.270 --> 00:21:01.150
and fulfill themselves. My friend,
434
00:21:01.150 --> 00:21:04.270
the work of the flesh is hard
435
00:21:04.270 --> 00:21:06.880
and it's deadly; but you can choose
436
00:21:06.880 --> 00:21:08.800
to move into the higher realm,
437
00:21:08.800 --> 00:21:10.360
take the high road
438
00:21:10.360 --> 00:21:13.840
and walk habitually in the spirit until you learn
439
00:21:13.840 --> 00:21:15.670
to live there.
440
00:21:15.670 --> 00:21:18.820
That is what the Bible
says. And you can do that.
441
00:21:18.820 --> 00:21:19.720
And I'll be back in just a
442
00:21:19.720 --> 00:21:21.551
moment and I'm going to pray for you.
443
00:21:30.610 --> 00:21:31.630
Someone asked the question,
444
00:21:31.630 --> 00:21:34.570
who was the first evangelist
in the New Testament?
445
00:21:34.570 --> 00:21:38.050
Well, technically Jesus
was the first evangelist.
446
00:21:38.050 --> 00:21:39.910
But after the resurrection,
447
00:21:39.910 --> 00:21:43.090
we find the first evangelist was a woman.
448
00:21:43.090 --> 00:21:46.090
And we read about it in Matthew 28,
449
00:21:46.090 --> 00:21:48.250
where the Bible tells us
that an angel appeared
450
00:21:48.250 --> 00:21:50.800
to Mary Magdalene and to the other Mary.
451
00:21:50.800 --> 00:21:52.390
And they said, go quickly
452
00:21:52.390 --> 00:21:55.480
and tell his disciples that
he's risen from the dead.
453
00:21:55.480 --> 00:21:59.110
And behold, he goeth
before you into Galilee.
454
00:21:59.110 --> 00:22:01.750
And there you will see him. And lo I've told you.
455
00:22:01.750 --> 00:22:03.100
And the Bible says,
456
00:22:03.100 --> 00:22:06.310
and they departed quickly
from the sepulchre with fear
457
00:22:06.310 --> 00:22:10.840
and great joy and did run
to bring the disciples word.
458
00:22:10.840 --> 00:22:14.140
So for those who believe that
women cannot preach, here
459
00:22:14.140 --> 00:22:17.590
we have an example that
the very first evangelist
460
00:22:17.590 --> 00:22:20.380
after the resurrection was not men,
461
00:22:20.380 --> 00:22:24.460
it was 2 women who were witnesses of the resurrection.
462
00:22:24.460 --> 00:22:25.720
And Mary Magdalene
463
00:22:25.720 --> 00:22:29.110
and the other Mary were the
first official evangelists
464
00:22:29.110 --> 00:22:31.450
after the resurrection of Jesus.
465
00:22:31.450 --> 00:22:34.750
A life dominated by the
flesh is a hard life.
466
00:22:34.750 --> 00:22:39.190
It is filled with excess, imbalance, extremity, laziness,
467
00:22:39.190 --> 00:22:42.130
self-abuse, hatred, strife, bitterness,
468
00:22:42.130 --> 00:22:44.470
irresponsibility and neglect.
469
00:22:44.470 --> 00:22:47.110
The way of the flesh is
the hardest route to take,
470
00:22:47.110 --> 00:22:50.110
but a life dominated by
the Holy Spirit is filled
471
00:22:50.110 --> 00:22:51.640
with benefits and blessings.
472
00:22:51.640 --> 00:22:55.060
I'm talking about love,
joy, peace, long suffering,
473
00:22:55.060 --> 00:22:58.900
gentleness, goodness, faith,
meekness and temperance.
474
00:22:58.900 --> 00:23:00.100
Don't give way to the flesh
475
00:23:00.100 --> 00:23:02.830
and allow it to produce
its ugly work in your life.
476
00:23:02.830 --> 00:23:05.530

Hey, this is Rick Renner,
502
00:24:05.300 --> 00:24:10.040
and today I'm in the Tulsa Office Building in the warehouse.
503
00:24:10.040 --> 00:24:11.810
I love to come here
504
00:24:11.810 --> 00:24:16.010
'cause I see all the resources
which we're preparing to send
505
00:24:16.010 --> 00:24:18.770
to people literally to
the ends of the earth.
506
00:24:18.770 --> 00:24:21.800
Here we have Living in the Combat Zone, Light
507
00:24:21.800 --> 00:24:25.370
In Darkness, Sparkling Gems, Apostles and Prophets.
508
00:24:25.370 --> 00:24:27.470
And here we have a copy of my new book,
509
00:24:27.470 --> 00:24:29.240
which is called World Before the Flood.
510
00:24:29.240 --> 00:24:32.690
Wow, this book has gone
out by the thousands.
511
00:24:32.690 --> 00:24:35.090
And all of that happens from here.
512
00:24:35.090 --> 00:24:37.670
These books don't stay here very long
513
00:24:37.670 --> 00:24:40.820
because people around
the world are crying out
514
00:24:40.820 --> 00:24:44.990
for resources. They want teaching that they can trust.
515
00:24:44.990 --> 00:24:49.310
And we send all of these materials out from here. Wow!
516
00:24:49.310 --> 00:24:53.870
The ministry that goes out of this facility is amazing.
517
00:24:53.870 --> 00:24:58.280
And do you know of our original Ministry Expansion Project,
518
00:24:58.280 --> 00:25:02.930
70% of it is already finished
and I want to say thank you.
519
00:25:02.930 --> 00:25:04.610
And now we need to keep it up
520
00:25:04.610 --> 00:25:07.460
until we knock out the remaining 30%.
521
00:25:07.460 --> 00:25:08.570
And if you've never been a part
522
00:25:08.570 --> 00:25:12.440
of our Ministry Expansion Project Giving Team,
523
00:25:12.440 --> 00:25:15.050
I'm asking you today to become a part of the team.
524
00:25:15.050 --> 00:25:16.610
We can knock this out.
525
00:25:16.610 --> 00:25:21.260
All we have is 30% left and we're done.
526
00:25:21.260 --> 00:25:23.840
And when we're done, we're
gonna quit talking about it
527
00:25:23.840 --> 00:25:27.320
and we can redirect all these
funds to take the teaching
528
00:25:27.320 --> 00:25:29.510
of the Bible further to
the ends of the earth
529
00:25:29.510 --> 00:25:32.840
and fulfill our part in
the Great Commission.
530
00:25:32.840 --> 00:25:35.720
So please pray about becoming a part
531
00:25:35.720 --> 00:25:38.900
of the Ministry Expansion Project Giving Team.
532
00:25:43.640 --> 00:25:45.140
I'm having such a good time
533
00:25:45.140 --> 00:25:48.470
as we're studying Galatians 5, about the Fruit
534
00:25:48.470 --> 00:25:51.380
of the Spirit VS the Works of the Flesh.
535
00:25:51.380 --> 00:25:52.550
My friend, choose
536
00:25:52.550 --> 00:25:56.420
to Walk in the Spirit and order the whole series,
537
00:25:56.420 --> 00:25:57.980
which is called The Works
538
00:25:57.980 --> 00:26:00.290
of the Flesh VS The Fruit of the Spirit.
539
00:26:00.290 --> 00:26:02.930
You choose death permeated works
540
00:26:02.930 --> 00:26:05.900
or supernatural life giving fruit.
541
00:26:05.900 --> 00:26:09.890
I know you want supernatural
life giving fruit.
542
00:26:09.890 --> 00:26:13.700
The works of the flesh are
death permeated: run from them
543
00:26:13.700 --> 00:26:17.270
and make the choice to
step up onto the high road
544
00:26:17.270 --> 00:26:19.580
and learn how to walk in the spirit.
545
00:26:19.580 --> 00:26:22.550
And this series will help
you learn how to do that.
546
00:26:22.550 --> 00:26:25.130
And it comes with a wonderful study guide.
547
00:26:25.130 --> 00:26:26.900
You can order these by going online
548
00:26:26.900 --> 00:26:29.180
or giving us a call right now.
549
00:26:29.180 --> 00:26:31.940
And we're also offering you
right now my daily devotional
550
00:26:31.940 --> 00:26:34.430
called Sparkling Gems from the Greek No.I
551
00:26:34.430 --> 00:26:36.350
and Sparkling Gems from the Greek
552
00:26:36.350 --> 00:26:38.420
No.II. If you don't already have yours,
553
00:26:38.420 --> 00:26:39.980
order yours today.
554
00:26:39.980 --> 00:26:42.500
And if you have No.I, then order No.II,
555
00:26:42.500 --> 00:26:46.350
continue your study of the New
Testament with Rick Renner.
556
00:26:46.350 --> 00:26:50.910
These books will make the New
Testament come alive for you.
557
00:26:50.910 --> 00:26:52.800
But Father, I thank you
in the name of Jesus
558
00:26:52.800 --> 00:26:54.990
that you really give us a choice.
559
00:26:54.990 --> 00:26:56.910
We do not have to walk in the flesh.
560
00:26:56.910 --> 00:26:58.830
We can choose to walk in the Spirit,
561
00:26:58.830 --> 00:27:01.260
and we thank you that
when we make that choice,
562
00:27:01.260 --> 00:27:04.260
you empower us to do it.
563
00:27:04.260 --> 00:27:08.250
We thank you for this in Jesus name - Amen.
564
00:27:08.250 --> 00:27:10.380
I'll be back tomorrow, but until then,
565
00:27:10.380 --> 00:27:13.620
remember Ecclesiastes 8:4, "Where the word
566
00:27:13.620 --> 00:27:16.410
of a king is there's power."
567
00:27:16.410 --> 00:27:18.690
If you've never received
Jesus as your Savior
568
00:27:18.690 --> 00:27:23.070
and Lord, now is the time for
you to experience a new life
569
00:27:23.070 --> 00:27:25.230
Jesus has to give you.
570
00:27:25.230 --> 00:27:29.310
Pray this prayer with me right now: Lord,
571
00:27:29.310 --> 00:27:33.330
I repent of my sin and
receive you as my Savior
572
00:27:33.330 --> 00:27:36.540
and Lord. Wash away my sin
573
00:27:36.540 --> 00:27:39.300
and make me completely new.
574
00:27:39.300 --> 00:27:43.170
I thank you that my sin is removed
575
00:27:43.170 --> 00:27:48.170
and Satan no longer has any
right to lay claim on me.
576
00:27:48.660 --> 00:27:52.650
I faithfully promise that
I will serve you as my Lord
577
00:27:52.650 --> 00:27:54.330
for the rest of my life.
578
00:27:55.275 --> 00:27:56.275
Amen.
579
00:27:59.145 --> 00:28:01.950
If you just prayed the
prayer of salvation with us,
580
00:28:01.950 --> 00:28:03.900
would you please let us know by going
581
00:28:03.900 --> 00:28:06.900

00:28:06.900 --> 00:28:09.240
We would love to connect with you.
583
00:28:09.240 --> 00:28:11.430
Thank you for joining Rick Renner today.
